Editing

Hello MrOllie, I've attempted twice today to edit pages concerning building estimating, but both have been reverted by you. The current pages are written around USA and some UK situations and my intention is to start to introduce Australian content and information with relevant Australian references. Thank you. QS-CE (talk) 08:07, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That would be fine, but what you have actually been doing is add repetitive links to the same company. I suggest you use higher quality sources, such as peer reviewed journals, books from academic publishers, or newspapers. - MrOllie (talk) 13:52, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you MrOllie, the two references are some of the highest quality sources in Australian building cost estimating. The Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors represents professional quantity surveyors in Australia and Rawlinsons Australian Construction Handbook is approximately 1000 pages, hard covered, and has been published annually since 1983. It is a massive resource of estimating data with cost indices back to the 1960's, includes comparisons with consumer price indices, and is Australia's largest library of cost information. Please refer, for example, to a the Commonwealth of Australia Staff Discussion paper 2015 Review 'A Capital Cost Index' [1] which, under Suitability, writes: 'Rawlinsons indices are independent and widely used indices prepared specifically to provide data on construction costs and variations in those costs. Similar methods are used in preparing the indices for each capital city and for each region within States'.QS-CE (talk) 15:29, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia judges quality of sourcing differently. - MrOllie (talk) 15:35, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your input, it's difficult to understand your stance. The page is USA/UK biased, the references and resources are to USA/UK governments, businesses and institutions that generally do not relate to Australia. The page needs work and I thought I could contribute by adding information for Australian readers, but apparently not. With that aside, I feel that for accuracy, a minor edit is required to the sentence: 'Due to the inherent unavailability of up-to-date cost literature, several inflation or cost indexes are available'. It is sourced as: ' Silla, H., 2003. Chemical Process Engineering: Design and Economics. s.l.:Marcel Dekker' I don't have that publication, but from the title it relates to Chemical Process Engineering. The statement is, at best, a generalization. The reference is 18 years old. Up to date construction cost literature is available in Australia and I'm confident elsewhere and the circumstances for each type of cost estimating will be different. For accuracy the line should be completely deleted or at best read: 'Several inflation or cost indexes are available.'QS-CE (talk) 02:12, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've had the same problem with this user. Seems MrOllie is only interested in linking to big business/tech. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.Wriggle (talk • contribs) 13:31, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm interested in keeping linkspam off the encyclopedia. - MrOllie (talk) 13:49, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'll bet. There are over 40 citation links on the page in question to other blogs, but you don't seem to have a problem with them, because they are big business. Are they paying you to keep these links? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.Wriggle (talk • contribs) 13:53, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Which page? You've spammed several. I haven't reviewed every link on all of them. Even if there are already inappropriate links, that is not a reason to add more spam. - MrOllie (talk) 13:55, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So if somebody adds a citation it's automatically spam according to what I've seen from your edits. You didn't even check the content. Seems like you just go about reverting edits at will if it's not from a multi-national website or big tech. Wikipedia is supposed to be the world's encyclopedia for the people. Not run by a small group preventing others from contributing. Please check the links in the future & have some consideration for other people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.Wriggle (talk • contribs) 14:03, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Financial markets content project

Hello,

My name is Tijana and I am managing a newly established non-profit project called Wikinvesting. Generally, it concerns a knowledge base creation, where everyone will be able to share their knowledge, experience and information related to financial markets. I saw you expressed interest in topics related to it on Wikipedia and I’d love to discuss the project with you further.

If you are interested, please let me know how can I contact you?

Cheers,

Looking for guidance on correcting errors in a Wikipedia page

I have been attempting to fix errors in the Wikipedia page for Enea AB, both by editing the text itself and also by requesting changes through the Talk page. In both cases you have indicated that my comments were not appropriate. So, I would be very grateful for your guidance on how I should go about fixing content that is in accurate and/or refers to discontinued products. Thanks! HikerCharlie (talk) 14:07, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you read the instructions at Wikipedia:Plain_and_simple_conflict_of_interest_guide and at Template:Request edit. Note that just because you request edits in the proper format does not necessarily mean your suggestions will be accepted, particularly if you request the inclusion of promotional language. - MrOllie (talk) 14:09, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Editng out links

Hi

I'm puzzled as to why you felt the rules had been breached. Please explain which links you are referring to and why. Please email me at g.ross@theresolver.com I have to say that this page is in need of a huge amount of updating/editing which I am happy to help with in time.So much is out of date (Square Trade closed down over 10 years ago not "recently" as stated.

If what you deleted was the list of training courses, anybody wishing to learn about ODR would welcome being directed to courses.

Many thanks

Graham Ross
