January 2021 - Expanding beyond transportation

Dear MrOllie, I am writing this in response to the claim that I have an undisclosed financial stake to the company in question (and the subsequent reverting of my edit). I would like to clarify that I am not paid for this edit and hence do not have an undisclosed financial stake to the company. I merely added the edit after researching and discovering that the company has ventured into the healthcare industry. I have zero relations with the company, and hence I believe that my edit should not be reverted. Thank you. Awesomereality (talk) 17:53, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure what reason you would have for pasting blatant advertising into the article, then, but either way it is not appropriate and the edit should not be restored. - MrOllie (talk) 18:11, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Well, would you mind highlighting to me which part of the edit is 'blatant advertising'? I have cited all sources accordingly (with one citation directly from the company website) and have not exaggerated or falsified any part of the edit. I find it simply ridiculous that a community edit like mine (with no form of advertising or monetary compensation involved) is reverted. Anyway, I don't think I am interested in pursuing this any further as it's simply too tedious to do all these work/explaining just to revert a random edit of mine.

Road bikes edit

Hello MrOllie, I've noticed you have reverted changes I did in the road bike article due to an "unreliable source". I've written the article using more than 20 different sources. Why it is "unreliable" then? Thank you for your explanation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minarik Petr (talk • contribs) 13:54, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

On wikipedia we do not use blog posts as sources, see WP:RS. Per WP:REFSPAM, WP:NOR, and WP:COI, you especially should use your own blog posts as sources. - MrOllie (talk) 14:02, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

I've seen so many articles, blog posts, and news used as a source. Can you give me some comment on that, please? COI - fair enough. But I don't get the rest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minarik Petr (talk • contribs) 14:07, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Newspapers are fine. As to blogs, Wikipedia is a big site and volunteer time is limited, sometimes it takes a while for someone to notice an inappropriate source. Please read and follow the polices, and don't make more work for others by using inappropriate sources. - MrOllie (talk) 14:10, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

How is it possible that in the same wiki article about road bikes, there is a source (also a blog post - from EcoVelo) that was not deleted? What makes it more reliable? Please, help me to understand this. I also forgot to add that the same source links to doubtful Cryptocurrency website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minarik Petr (talk • contribs) 14:18, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

/* References */ Shahjay23 (section)

Hello MrOllie, It's my sincere apology from my side I have attached the link on that thought the word binge watcher is similar to our site name... so after editing this I gave a reference as a citation required error I saw as on the page, That's why I have attached the link. refrence — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shahjay23 (talk • contribs) 20:21, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

You apologized, and then you continued spamming. If you keep that up you can expect your account to be blocked and the domain added to the spam blacklist. - MrOllie (talk) 13:14, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Cloud gaming table

Hi, I noticed your edit "removing tables of nonnotable vendors per WP:NOT", it's not clear to me which specific part of WP:NOT apply here. I think it should probably be either WP:DIRECTORY or WP:PLOT, is that right?

Anyhow, I think that Wikipedia still lost something with the removal of the table. Specifically, I noticed your edit because I wanted to refer to some of the alternatives that are available in a smaller set of geographical regions. From the current article, it seems that the only services are the ones created by massive businesses like Microsoft, Google, Amazon... with very few exceptions (e.g. Shadow).

Do you think there might be a way to have this information tracked, maybe in aggregate (so it wouldn't become a directory)? Knowing how many such services started, in which countries, running on which platforms (web, mobile apps, set top box, etc.) might still be encyclopedic. Do you agree? Tiibiidii (talk) 02:25, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

If you have sources that discuss the industry in aggregate, that should be fine. If not, please have a read of WP:NOR. - MrOllie (talk) 13:15, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Added adaptation Death in Venice

I apologise if I have missed a reply the following question.

"I don't want to waste your time and I certainly don't want to waste my time on this discussion, but if instead of vague and sometimes groundless statements you could state under exactly what conditions you would allow the information to be published, then I would be happy for both of us to move on to more important things."

To put that in simple English: (A) what is the statistic you would use to agree that this item was worthy of conclusion? (eg sales of a publication / online references / reference by A Famous Person) (B) what evidence would you accept that any information posted was neither by myself nor posted by myself and was therefore acceptable to Wikipedia?

If I could get a clear answer from you on both these points I would happy to move on to other issues.

You don't need to answer the following points. (C) You might ask yourself why a Wikipedia page devoted to fictional pigs is of greater importance than an entry about a classic piece of literature. (D) You might ask yourself why you are happy to accept promotional material from Hollywood studios as an entry but not a factual entry about a topic.

In the spirit of civility, I look forward to your answer and offer you my kind regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Idiomist (talk • contribs) 14:08, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

I've answered these questions, and I don't have anything more to say on this matter, aside from noting that strawman arguments generally convince no one. If you have further questions, I suggest you ask them at WP:COIN or WP:TEAHOUSE. - MrOllie (talk) 15:07, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Edits on Place Branding wiki

Dear Mr. Ollie,

Yesterday I contributed to the Place Branding page. It seems that you did not accept any of the edits I made, is that right? I was surprised that not a single one of my suggestions was accepted. Could you please explain your role? And could you be so kind to explain whether there was a specific reason why my suggestions were not accepted? How could I improve my contributions? With kind regards, Jasper Eshuis Jas Eshuis (talk) 17:03, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

See WP:COI and WP:NOR. As a subject matter expert, you are no doubt familiar with a range of sources on these topics. Please cite some that have not been written by yourself or by any associates. Thanks. - MrOllie (talk) 17:50, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
