In regards of Ian Jeffrey

I cited at least 10 references. While there hasn't been too much recognition from "reliable, independent sources," the subject has collectively been discussed in numerous articles, some from well-known mainstream outlets. Not to mention there are plenty of articles (_,_,_, _, _) (just to name a few) that have no citations, or barely any citations, if any, from mostly sources that would otherwise be considered "unreliable." I'd understand if the article needed a few corrections or cleanups, but if anything, I think I put too many citations. If I am wrong, please let me know what else to do. I mean no harm by writing this message, and hope everything can be worked out. Thank you for your understanding. TrevortniDesserpedx (talk) 16:25, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

You can cite links out the wazoo but if they're unreliable, you may as well have cited nothing. The rest are also just gossip. Praxidicae (talk) 16:32, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Does it matter whether they're unreliable or not? TrevortniDesserpedx (talk) 01:35, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

I believe I literally just explained that. Praxidicae (talk) 03:37, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Well, as I looked deeper into the history of the article, it looks like somebody removed all the 'invalid REFs,' and kept 6 of the original ones, which they consider to be reliable. If the references currently on the page are also unreliable, why didn't they just remove all of them? As I said, 6 is still better than nothing. There are countless pages on the site that have very few references, or references that are entirely from non-mainstream sources, or some even both, that have not been removed as of now. The subject is pretty notable, it's at least certainly more notable than one of the other pages I previously made, having been covered on many websites, and having been associated with some celebrities such as James Charles and Loren Gray. All due respect, TrevortniDesserpedx (talk) 07:24, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello

The reason I added that link was that the link was already routed to its renewed version. For me it has no value, I just wanted to save wikipedia from a redirect link. It is not very important to change it if you want. Also, that link does not belong to me and I did not add it for advertising. Sorry for my bad english. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Recepbayoglu (talk • contribs) 10:51, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello

I can clean up the sources but I do not believe the current list is up to date or accurately reflects the ongoing nature of this event, the seriousness of what is being attempted, and the high amount of disinformation being put out by the individuals involved. Thank you for your support of Wikipedia I admit I am reckless newb.

Comments about the article Draft:Gloss_Network

Hello, with respect, I do not find it very constructive for you to decline a submission with the comment "paid for black hat SEO". I am not paid to do anything on Wikipedia, I do it because I like the community. I nearly have 600 edits on here so I'm not some bot trying to get paid for creating some page on a D list Indian celebrity. I see from your other work that you use this same comment to deny countless other submissions, so urge you to supply the wikipedia community with more thoughtful feedback so we can actually improve our editing. I wish to still improve this article, so would appreciate a little bit more constructive feedback please :) PiratePuppy (talk) 01:46, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Did I say you were? The sources are, but thanks for the lecture considering you can't tell a press release from an actual editorial piece! Praxidicae (talk) 01:48, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello again. All you wrote in your denial of the submission was that the article was "paid for black hat SEO". I'm not sure what other assumption I was supposed to make from that comment other than you were suggesting that I was a paid editor. Anyway, it seems like we have gotten off on the wrong foot so I apologize for the tone of my first comment. I genuinely want to improve the article to the point that it can be accepted. I get that there are a few press releases in the references, and will see if other sources exist. How many editorial pieces do you usually like to see for the subject to be notable? Thanks in advance PiratePuppy (talk) 03:03, 20 November 2020 (UTC) Praxidicae can you let me know about the above as I am genuinely keen to know what admins are looking for in terms of editorial. Thanks! PiratePuppy (talk) 15:11, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Re Grounding (earthing) culture

Hi Praxidicae -- I see your problems with this one, but declined the speedies because I don't think it quite fits either rationale.

Draft:In the (D3FB) Huddle

I have explained my lack of affiliation in both the page's Talk section and elsewhere. I am not affiliated, nor am I paid. Rossif76 turned it over to me when they realized the COI was an issue, and it has been revised by both me and a reviewer since. Excess primary citations have been removed. The only citations remaining are from United States colleges/universities (RPI, Union, WPI, etc.), D3football.com (the primary information source related to Division 3 college football in the United States) and their blog site, a local daily newspaper in Upstate New York, and ESPN. These are all strong citations and are actually the subject of Wikipedia articles themselves (D3hoops.com is the basketball side of D3football.com and is included here). This article is ready for approval. BSpaTruthSquad (talk) 21:02, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

You were asked by one of the podcasters to edit it - that is a WP:COI. The article is not ready and if you continue to resubmit it, I will request a block for disruption. Further, if you make another legal threat against an editor, I will request a ban of your account - not just a block. Praxidicae (talk) 21:03, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

AC right

Hi Praxidicae, even though you self-reverted your reply to my question, it gave me worthwhile information: If they are able to move pages through being AC then it might make sense to remove that permission. But that isn't one of the groups listed at Special:ListGroupRights, is it? ◅ Sebastian 14:26, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I don't think it'll be much use, I think a block from mainspace until they demonstrate an understanding of what is needed is probably best...but I'll leave it up to you. They've done over a hundred moves in a short time, and with them still going and not addressing the issues, it's adding to the pile that needs to be cleaned up. Also autoconfirmed is there but I'm not sure how useful revoking it will be. Praxidicae (talk) 14:27, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I see; thank you for your reply. That goes beyond the mere technical question I had. In this case, the right place to discuss this remains ANI; I didn't mean to spread the discussion, least of all to a page with a big red blinking sign, which is unlikely to calm down emotions. ◅ Sebastian 15:10, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Disruptive Editing

Hey!

I just saw your message about my disruptive editing. That's not my intention! I just made a new article (my first one) and I'm having trouble navigating the issue of redirecting and so forth. I really can't figure it out as you can probably tell by the editing history. Any advice?

Thanks

Go through WP:AFC instead of hijacking redirects. Praxidicae (talk) 16:12, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Is there any way of just creating the new article outright? The article redirects to a totally unrelated company. Could that be cause for speedy deletion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipediamagic.123 (talk • contribs) 16:20, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Windbuoyy

Hi Blablubbs,

I am at in this lockdown, I consulted my family on your comments (as I was surprised) and referred to my response as us. There are no other people here!!

Please ask what information you need. I read the advertising requirements carefully, I am not putting any information here which is of interest to any customer. I from London, that named institution who did the lab test for project is in Berlin. I quoted them in wiki page only to give credit to them and some credibility to the project. I have no interest in promoting that HFI institution.

Hi Praxidicae,

I have completely revised the page. I hope this is satisfactory. Please inform us if there are any further comments from you, and I will happy to rewrite to satisfy the requirements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiwb2020 (talk • contribs) 17:46, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Kenny Bates

Hi Praxidicae! Thank you for reviewing my submission for the topic Kenny Bates (filmmaker). I got a message that my edits give the impression I have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting this topic. That is not the case. The idea to publish this info is driven by my interest in this topic. What part of my submission gives this kind of impression?

Removing Editing in Responsibility of Research Institution

Hi Prax,

I noticed that you removed a paragraph in the Responsibility of Research Institutions subsection. The editing contributed an example of efforts by a Scientific Journal to safeguard their publication ethics independent of authors research institution. It was fact-based and was written in a similar tone of a paragraph just above it. Would you elaborate more the reason of the removal? If there is a better way to write if or there is another sub-section in that page that the paragraph is better suited for, I would happy to put it over there.

Thanks!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pethics (talk • contribs)

Removing of a list in the Scientific Misconduct Incidents

Hi Prax,

I just noticed that you removed one edit in the lists of Scientific Misconduct Incidents.It was fact-based with proper supporting source and in the right section. Would you elaborate on the reason of the removal? Thanks!15:13, 26 November 2020 (UTC)Moralguard (talk)

As I explained to your alternate personality above, it's a WP:BLPVIO. If you try reinstating it by IP or another account, expect to be blocked. Praxidicae (talk) 15:17, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Removing edit from lists of Scientific Misconduct Incidents

Hi Prax,

Just read your explanation, very helpful. For the WP:BLPVIO, there are three requirements that go into it and the removed content met all three:

Neutral Point of View (the edit was written in the same tone with the rest of incidents in the list) Verifiability (it can be reliably sourced by the reference and retraction notice from Optical Society of America) No Original Research (It is the investigation from the Journal)

If there is a mis-understanding, please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moralguard (talk • contribs) 15:55, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello. In response to query re: paid advocacy, not I do not receive any form of compensation for my posts.

Hi,I don't mind you asking at all. In fact I appreciate your efforts! I worked in the Internet space and start-up world in the first bubble. I have friends who I still chat with about cool new start-ups and also read VentureBeat and Crunchbase and other online information sites about start-ups. Right now my interests are in innovative companies that can help our planet (clean energy, recycling, world peace and kindness to each other). Israeli start-ups are hot and I have friends who tell me about cool new companies. The cleanteach and personal security companies I am editing were both Israeli start-ups and are growing. I wait until they gain funding and independent third-party news so I know they are legit and worthy of consideration for Wikipedia by passing notability standards (which I work hard to meet and take seriously). Hope this answers your question. While I have you, it appears someone other than me may have access to my account. I am unfamiliar with Wack Pack, and that page indicates I edited it (which I did not). Any insight or help you can share is appreciated. Thank you! Laurawallace799 01:19, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

How to solve: "Zenphoto" redirects to "Comparison of photo gallery software"?

Hello. Thanks for take your time reviewing my edition in Comparison of photo gallery software. I don't know much about all those software, but yesterday I was editing it trying to fill something in it because when you go to Zenphoto article automatically redirects to Comparison of photo gallery software. I accept it was pretty empty, but I just started to do something with the idea of fill it later. Issue is that a newbie reader like me expect to read something about Zenphoto when you click on it.

My proposal to fill it is starts with this (new) draft (I remove internal link for software pages). What is your opinion?

Hi. I created the page for Total Freedom (Dj). The page was flagged first for a speedy deletion due to lack of notoriety. I have updated the page to include a full paragraph under their Work section which includes verified credentials of collaborations with Hood By Air, Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, and Bjork. Additionally, these points are detailed in credible sources from articles published by The New Yorker, Dazed Magazine, and Interview Magazine.

The page has been flagged again as being under-sourced. I've left a comment on the Talk page and added a comment when I re-submitted the page for review without any follow up for suggestions which leaves me a bit puzzled. Can you let me know what gaps can be bridged so we can make the page live? I appreciate your response as I'm still learning the ropes of what moderators and editors (especially, those who are unfamiliar with fashion, contemporary art, or the music industry) deem as reliable sources and/or notable figures.

Disruptive editing patterns

Please do not abuse the use of the speedy deletion nomination process. There is a reason why these tags can be contested. Furthermore, applying NPOV is critical when dealing with old and new articles alike. Bezrat (talk) 15:42, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

You don't seem to have a clue what you're talking about. WP:NPOV applies to content. It doesn't apply to the age of an article. Secondly, there is nothing disruptive about my edits. You are not qualified to assess a G4 as it requires review of the deleted version, so I suggest you stop. Praxidicae (talk) 15:43, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Bezrat, just for some clarification, speedy deletions can be contested (i.e. on the talk page), but not all speedy deletion tags should be removed by non-admins; G4 (which requires knowledge of deleted edits) is one of those tags. Primefac (talk) 15:50, 3 December 2020 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

I do know what I'm talking about, it was a display of bias, perhaps ruining clearly wiki-eligible articles gives some people a twisted satisfaction or benefit; they certainly aren't doing the real singular Praxidice work, oh the irony. That article underwent major improvements which I personally saw. But I'm surprisingly disappointed that you deleted it Primefac as I previously had a good impression of your discretion. Would you be so kind to explain why you deleted the article (i.e. only on 4G grounds? If so, which paragraphs were too similar), or was it because of another criteria. I will tag or forward the comment to its creator so he can make a better decision moving on. Bezrat (talk) 16:54, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Two of the three sections were nearly identical to the original, with the third being sourced by little more than "according to Investing.com" brief mentions; since this was the primary concern of the AFD, a lack of references to support that section didn't help alleviate the issue of lacking significant coverage in independent, third party sources.
