Not conflict of interest

I have not written an article about myself but about the actress Dorothy Gibson. I have disclosed the fact that I am the author of a biography of Dorothy Gibson and I use my own name as a handle on Wikipedia so I am not attempting to misrepresent myself. Finally, I am not advertising myself but providing information about the subject of this article. Best wishes, Randy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Randy-bigham (talk • contribs) 19:29, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

When you add your own name to Wikipedia articles, and add references to your own books, that is by definition a conflict of interest. As explained on your user talk page, if you believe that your book would be a useful resource in a particular article, you should make an edit request on that article's talk page. Uninvolved editors can then make a case-by-case decision. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 19:33, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Conflict of interest - Admission essay

I have added extra information to the "Application essays" page as I find the original article not fully completed. There was missing a lot of crucial information and facts that determine the content of the article. I have added the source eesayedge.com as a trusted source that is well-known in the field of admission essays. I used this source as the reference as it isn't a bias one. The text that I have written for the article is informative and useful exactly for people who visit the page of this article. My point of view is neutral in this text, and I don't represent subjective opinions regarding the topic. Each paragraph that I have added contains the content that matches the title. Thus, these points are suitable for the article. --Sophia Brakeman (talk) 15:19, 15 March 2021 (UTC)Sophia Brakeman

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a how-to-write-your-application-essay site. The content you added was not in accordance with the formal tone of an encyclopedia article. Please declare any connection witht he website you have repeatedly cited in accordance with Wikipedia's terms of use. Acroterion (talk) 15:27, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

As Acroterion says, the text was not appropriate for an encyclopedia – that's not strange, since much of it seemed to be direct quotes from the source, which is a commercial service, not an informational site. It should not be used as a reference on Wikipedia. The text was also very specific indeed about details that presumably apply to the American educational system. A Wikipedia article is not a step-by-step process description, and it should have a global perspective, unless the article has a specific local/regional focus. --bonadea contributions talk 21:39, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Reference to the comment

With respect to above mentioned reference to the comment as I was working on the article of Kamlesh D. Patel, reorganizing content, I noticed The Heartfulness Way page and by mistake I didn't provide proper comments for my changes in The Heartfulness Way wiki article. To my knowledge content in The Heartfulness Way appeared to be written in a neutral tone and I have seen many such articles on books (Eg - If a user searches A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, under Books, documentaries and popular culture section, user can find books authored by A.P.J.Abdul Kalam and many of his works have separate wiki article dedicated to those works). So can you kindly explain further what is the issue with The heartfulness way article. Thanks --Ensconce (talk) 15:33, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Please Explain

Hi, Can you please explain which promotional content I used in my Wikipedia page. and how I'm violating the Wikipedia Guidelines? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnkuPrince7 (talk • contribs) 08:38, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi. You created a parallel version of Vijay Shekhar Sharma in your user space. That is weird and there is no point in doing so, but the really serious thing is that when advertising and copyright violations were removed from the article, you kept them in your userspace. Why? What is the reason for having that copy of the article, and why do you keep copying text from the sources, after multiple notices about copyright violations? You advertise your services as a SEO specialist, so you should understand the concept of copyright violations, not to mention the fact that text written to present a person in a newspaper won't make any sense if it is copied straight into a Wikipedia article.

You have also forgotten to declare your paid relationship with Sharma. You need to do that before you make any more edits. If you keep editing the article with the same kind of promotional crap, you will probably be blocked from editing. --bonadea contributions talk 08:58, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Regarding award on Souhardya De

Hi Bonadea, Thank you for helping me learn a bit. The copied text I took has been removed by you but I have just added that the award is a civilian award and not an award since there is a difference in India between the two. Other than that, I think it is okay if we do not add the name of the felicitator and so on. But then, you need to remove it from Prasiddhi Singh as well. Please cooperate and thank you for your help! regards, Snehashis6577 (talk) 14:07, 4 April 2021 (UTC)Snehashis6577

Question about the Mike Greenhaus page

Hi. I am having trouble figuring out what the problem is with the Mike Greenhaus page as from what I can follow it was you who flagged the issue. The other Editor-in-chief of Relix Magazine, Dean Budnick has a page. Could you share with me what the problem(s) are or point me in a direction to find the answers? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

@Bonadea: — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vixhenry (talk • contribs) 22:46, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

@Vixhenry: thank you for your message. I did not recognise the name but after some searching I found some discussion threads about it from last year. There was a draft that did not show how Greenhaus was notable, but the draft's creator found that difficult to accept, so s/he moved it to mainspace even though it had been declined by reviewers. As far as I can work out, what I did was simply to move it back to draftspace. Draft:Mike Greenhaus was deleted as a stale draft in December, but you can request at WP:REFUND to have it restored if you want to work on it. Please be aware that if there is an article about another editor at the same magazine, that has no bearing on whether there should be an article about Greenhaus – the only relevant question is whether Greenhaus meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. This discussion about the draft might be of interest to you, too. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 14:34, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

False Paid Promo Claim

The text is sourced from the webpage: https://www.xlri.ac.in/delhi-ncr-campus.aspx This is publicly available. The college has started a new campus in 2020, my edit was meant to reflect that, but seems like no one is willing to listen on Wikipedia and brand me as a paid advertiser. It is really funny. Please let someone competent check my edits and the veracity of the information.

Housofx (talk) 13:47, 19 April 2021 (UTC)User talk:Housofx

Please re-read my comment. The text you added was written like an advertisement, which means that it was not appropriate for a Wikipedia article. In addition, the sources you provided did not support the content. I did take the time to read the sources you included, and they contained some, but not all, of the information you added. However, even if you were to include the school's own website as a source, you could still not add the text you proposed, because it is promotional rather than informational. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 13:55, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Okay then can anyone edit what I wrote into an informational format or whatever that means? Because I sourced all of it from the school's website. All the facts and figures. If that is not informational, then I do not know what to do here. That Wiki page now gives false and incorrect info, but everyone seems to be okay with that.

Image copyright

How can I upload twitter images on Wikipedia? U.G sam (talk) 05:06, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

If you mean images like File:Ajey Nagar.jpj.jpg which has been tagged as a copyright violation at Commons, as far as I know, you can't. If you find an image on Twitter, you can assume that it is copyrighted, and copyrighted images should not be uploaded to Wikipedia or to Commons. There are some exceptions where non-free files can be used on English Wikipedia only (not at Commons or any other language Wikipedia), but that particular file does not fall under such an exception. I am not a copyright expert, but this is a pretty clear-cut case, especially since the image has no informational content, and it is not the subject of critical discussion (which might have made it OK to use it).

I'm Mathew Munna.Bonadea you think I'm fool or what. Why you change and delete my edits in ASHWIN KUMAR LAKSHMIKANTHAN'S Wikipedia page. The all informations I add are very very true informations about ASHWIN KUMAR LAKSHMIKANTHAN. Why you change them. I want to know today. You think I'm a fool or stupid. Please give a suitable response. Mathew Munna (talk) 13:04, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

@Mathew Munna: I have removed information with no source, removed or rephrased text that was repetitive or poorly written, and removed some inappropriately promotional text from Ashwin Kumar Lakshmikanthan. I did not remove any of your edits specifically, but when I look now at the edits you had made, I see that some of your additions were removed or rewritten. Several people have posted information to your user talk page about the absolute requirement for reliable sources, so that would be the main reason why some of your additions were reverted. Take this edit for instance, where you changed the name of the character he played in a film. The source does not use the name you added, it uses the one that was in the article previously. Other parts of that edit were not changed. Again: it does not matter if you know that something is true information, if you do not have a reliable source that supports that information. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 13:46, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

I will change and add the the informations again. It's true. Don't change or delete again. Mathew Munna (talk) 14:05, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

OK, I'll post a formal warning to your user talk page. It is not acceptable to restore unsourced claims (that contradict existing sources) when you have been told repeatedly that sources are required. You also cannot tell other editors not to edit Wikipedia articles. As long as your fellow editors edit according to Wikipedia policies, which includes removing unsourced information, they are absolutely allowed to do so. --bonadea contributions talk 14:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

AKL

Dear Bonadea,

I had worked with Melanie in creating the original page and firstly, thank you so much in cleaning up the page and letting us learn how to make edits in a simple ways without any promotional fluff. Thank you so much and I'm so sorry abt the edit wars happening with other users.

I hv added some info regarding the brands he had endorsed as a model and the reference added cites few ads he had worked on. Please review and let me know if it satisfies the requirement. Thank you Adapongaiya (talk) 22:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC).

Dear Bonadea,

cud u pls check this source [[4]], the 4th bullein from the bottom says he has done around 8 ads including chennai silks, saravana stores, Rajendra silks and Minister white ads as in 2018. Now that he has over 40+ ads, they are available in YT, but I shall look for better news article covering the same. Thank you for your comments. Adapongaiya (talk) 20:37, 27 April 2021 (UTC).

For the record, the article is Ashwin Kumar Lakshmikanthan. Hi @Adapongaiya: Yes, but that is not the source that was in the article, and it does not strike me as a very good source in any case. Does it actually say that he is a model? I have to rely on translation software and that is notoriously unreliable, but I ran the text through two different translators and both of them translated "நடித்திருக்கிறார்" as "he has acted". Acting in a commercial does not make an actor a model.

Just listing a number of more or less well-known brands he has advertised is not particularly useful. If any of the adverts is notable in itself, or if there are sources that discuss some of the ads instead of just mentioning a bunch of companies or brands, then those brands could be mentioned.

Important Above, and elsewhere ([5], [6]), you use the words "we" and "us" to refer to your own edits. What does "we" and "us" mean? It also looks as if all your edits to Wikipedia for more than one year have been about Ashwin Kumar Lakshmikanthan, including asking multiple different volunteer editors to review your draft, and adding mentions of him to other articles. What is your connection to him? It is a little surprising that nobody has yet provided the necessary information about conflicts of interest and paid editing on your user talk page; I will do so now. --bonadea contributions talk 07:57, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Dear Bonadea,

Thanks for your detailed clarification on Brands. I shall look around for the better sources.

I am an individual, not affiliated with any org, not connected with the individual. It was my first wiki page article a year ago and it ended in AFD deletion. At that time, I was advised by the admin to use talk pages to reach out to senior editors to assist in improving the article. I have been taking baby steps in learning the skills of wiki editing. I'm still a beginner, learning and this page has been my trial and error. When I am sure of my editing, I shall work and create more articles. Thank you Adapongaiya (talk) 13:57, 28 April 2021 (UTC).

Amazon

@Bonadea: Your edits on yesterday at 21:00 UTC+7 really disturbed my night sleep! How are sources from Amazon unreliable? It is not, and if you see this (Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources), it was said that Amazon is unreliable when you cited the readers' reviews from there (of course I never and will not do that), but not for the ISBN, release dates, and the author names. If you wanted to remove all Amazon citations from Wikipedia, why do not you remove these too? (in Madonna: Like an Icon and Madonna: An Intimate Biography) The nominator(s) has/have cited Amazon as references for very, very long time... And for Rajesh Khanna: The Untold Story of India's First Superstar—sigh—first, please take a look from both articles I mentioned; you will probably understand why I did that.

Also, note this please, I have nominated several articles to GA with Amazon citations and all of them succeeded (see those on my userpage if you want). It means Amazon is acceptable on Wikipedia, and not like what you think! Please I have never found an user as annoying as you (sorry if this offended you), your decision to remove all of Amazon citations from articles I expanded is weird. Once again, Amazon is reliable, expect for the reviews by the readers. If you want to notify other users and discuss this, I will agree. --Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 01:19, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Responded on your user talk page; in addition to the points made there, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, and if the removal of a few links from a couple of Wikipedia articles makes you unable to sleep, it is possible that you are too close to the topic to view it dispassionately. Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources does not support the use of multiple links to that sales website, and certainly not the use of a commercial link for a different work. Please re-read it and notice where it says "it is unnecessary to cite Amazon when the work itself may serve as a source for that information (e.g., authors' names and ISBNs)." --bonadea contributions talk 09:33, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Your actions against my editing

Hi, you have reverted many of my edits in an unfair way, you personally have had political beliefs and ideas around how society should be and for that reason you have ripped up many things I edited. I also edited information on pages that there was never any disagreement about such as the links to different cities on the map on Sweden and the euro.

Extended content
Haparanda Höganäs Helsingborg Landskrona Malmö Pajala Övertorneå Sollentuna Stockholm class=notpageimage| Cities and municipalities discussed in this section.

If you are unhappy with my edits please only undo things that you don't like such as European Politician. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cubeloadan (talk • contribs) 08:21, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Don't make assumptions about other editors' political or other standpoints, and do not attack others by accusing them of "undoing things they don't like". I explained pretty carefully why it is in fact incorrect to use "European" as a demonym. Comment on edits and not on contributors, and assume that other editors are trying to make Wikipedia conform to policies and guidelines. I have not "acted against your editing", I have reverted your edits when they were unhelpful, and I have explained exactly why I have done so.

As for the piping of municipalities in Sweden and the euro and elsewhere, you have been consistently adding pipes to links to municipalities or counties. In some cases, such as here, that resulted in an incorrect text (Västerbotten is a province which is not the same thing as Västerbotten County – the county also includes parts of other provinces). There is no obvious reason for adding pipes, but if you believe you have good reason for doing so, by all means feel free to start discussions about it on the relevant article talk pages. The particular case of Sweden and the euro – well, as you know, the main reason for reverting you was the unsourced claim that there are plans to introduce the euro as a currency, which I have been unable to find any confirmation for. Since the "links to cities" in that article are not links to cities but to municipalities, it seemed pretty uncontroversial to just revert them back, but again, you should absolutely start a discussion about that at Talk:Sweden and the euro if you disagree.

Independent citations

Hi Bonadea. I was hoping you could elaborate on your feedback at Draft:Theradome (helmet). You said it needed citations independent of the company.

False information

Somebody has labeled the Tower of Babel a myth. It actually existed and location can be visited in Iraq. Oleo743 (talk) 02:53, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

@Oleo743: thank you for your message. Do you mean the Etemenanki ziggurat? The article Tower of Babel does talk about that, both in the introduction and in the article body, and it says that some scholars think that the Etemenanki is the structure mentioned in the myth. Nobody knows for certain, though, and there are other tower ruins that have also been identified as the Tower of Babel. The phrase "origin myth" refers to the story about the origin of different languages, not to the physical tower; in other words, even if the story mentions a tower that actually existed, the events are mythical and not factual. --bonadea contributions talk 07:06, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Groenkloof: Herbert Baker White Jackarandas

Dear Bonadea

The original picture you reverted back to is possibly taken from a view from Herbert Baker street and not actually of Groenkloof (Or let agree its not just Groenkloof) it would be more appropriate as a picture of the neighboring suburb Lucas Rand of which it IS a picture off.

The unique white Jacarandas are only in Herbert Baker street in the country. These Jacarandas are albino Jacaranda trees given to the Pretoria municipality by the Calafornia government in the 1950s. Herbert Baker street is the only street in the country with these Jacarandas and this makes Groenkloof a tourist attraction with a lot of tourist busses coming to see Herbert Baker street specifically.

Would you mind helping change the picture you removed as the main picture in the article, and moving the one you reverted to the gallery section please?

@Askkaty2write: thank you for your message. Looking at your edits, I see that you have removed a couple of the primary sources, but you have not added any new sources. As I said in my comment when I declined the draft, you need several independent sources that talk specifically about the CIMA, and currently there are no such sources in the draft. The issues with close paraphrasing are also still present – the paragraph starting with "Each academic year [...]" is a very close paraphrase of this source and this source, which were used as references in the draft before but were among those you removed. That the source is not used as a reference does not mean that text from it can be copied into the article. There is also no source for some of the information, such as "... from the 1860s to the 1970s" – how do you know that? Finally, I'm afraid the draft is still promotionally written, even though you have worked on the phrasing (don't remove too much, though – you deleted the info about which city it is in!) Remember that you are not writing for an audience of New Yorkers, or even for Americans, but for a global readership who are not interested in opening hours or whether it is a 501c3 public nonprofit. Thanks for linking "501c3", though; many Americans take it for granted that the rest of the world will understand that impenetrable code! :-) I see that you have submitted the draft for review again, but there is nothing that stops you from improving it while you are waiting for another review.

this is SO SO SO SO HELPFUL! thank you so much! Will be back in touch. Askkaty2write (talk) 18:05, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

I took your incredible advice and called the center for some more information. Would you mind taking another look for me? thank you!!!Askkaty2write (talk) 14:50, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

@Bonadea: Is there any way you can possibly take another look at the submission? thank you!Askkaty2write (talk) 02:39, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

dnata

Hi! this was regarding dnata's page. Wanted to understand why it was deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anuj timetravel (talk • contribs) 17:22, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Anuj timetravel:, thank you for your message. The article dnata has not been deleted, but I reverted a number of edits to it, including yours. Earlier edits by other people had removed the entire introduction, so it was important to restore that. As for your edit, I will restore the factual information about the company starting to offer services in India, but the source you included did not support all the information in your text. Also note that words in the article should not be linked to external websites; sources are added as references in footnotes. More information here and here.

If you have been hired or contracted to edit Wikipedia on behalf of dnata or any other company or individual, you need to read this information and make the necessary disclosures – these are mandatory for any editor who receives any form of compensation for their edits. --bonadea contributions talk 15:11, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

User:Anuj timetravel

FYI, this user has started to do a similar thing (not link spamming) but adding "women-only tours" repetitively on en.wikivoyage (and edit warring with me and an admin). I'm only letting you know as you warned this user earlier in the week, and you might want to keep an eye out for this user's edits. Thanks, SHB2000 (talk) 12:59, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

What do you make of this?

I saw you warning a particular user about adding the names of non-notable children to pages. I came across this, where many names are red-linked. It's a bit creepy to be linked the name of someone born in 2019. How many of these can we cut?--- Possibly (talk) 05:35, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

@Possibly: Good grief – there isn't even a source for most of those. To begin with, I suggest removing the wives, children, and grandchildren of the sons of Olof and Lisbeth Palme. Non-notable minors really should not be included, and living, non-notable adults where there is no reliable source mentioning them ought also to be removed per WP:BLPNAME. BLP aside, I do wonder about the logic behind adding a former spouse, not mentioned in any sources, whose name isn't Palme...! --bonadea contributions talk 09:56, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) The user in question has also created an article for Mattias Järvinen Palme, the third son of Olof and Lisbet, with no other claim to fame that I can see. I've redirected it to the family article. Which contained a lot of non-notable individuals even before the additions of babies and ex-wives... maybe it would be better to prod Mattias? The article Olof Palme, rather curiously, has no personal life section, so is not a good redirect target. Bishonen | tålk 11:46, 30 May 2021 (UTC).

Not having a personal life section is pretty odd! I've been meaning to read this Palme biography, and once I get around to doing so I'll hopefully learn more about his life. Oh, and here is something that feels even more odd: when I calculated how many days it's been since the assassination and then went back the same number of days, I got to November 1950...!

I guess it doesn't hurt to have a redirect from Mattias to the family article, but I won't weep if it is prodded and deleted. As for the user in question, there are definitely some CIR issues there, and then there is this. --bonadea contributions talk 16:54, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Ezequiel Matthysse

Hi! The article Draft:Ezequiel Matthysse is now ready for creation! Thank you very much for the bugs you showed me that they had ... I fixed and improved all the bugs you mentioned to me. Now I hope you can publish the article Ezequiel Matthysse (Draft:Ezequiel Matthysse). It took me a lot of time, research and it is also encyclopedic to be on wikipedia ... try to put many references and quotes to verify that everything is relevant. Emat20211 (talk) 03:45, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Emat20211

@Emat20211: It looks like you fixed the errors in citations, but neither of the other issues (overlinking and inappropriate content). Note that you should not remove old Articles for Creation declines or notices from the draft. If the draft is accepted, the notices will automatically be removed.

You have submitted the draft for review. Asking people on their user talk pages (or on help pages or other places) to review it is unnecessary. --bonadea contributions talk 05:53, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Can you change from viral video to personal life? Do your research and there is a lot on that section Emat20211 (talk) 12:10, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Emat20211

Ready, again fix and solve the errors that you mentioned to me in Draft:Ezequiel Matthysse, I also added more references / citations and eliminated the "viral video" section, also eliminated phrases that could seem promotional content. Thanks for helping me and sorry for my mistakes, I keep learning! I hope you review the article and publish it! Emat20211 (talk) 13:29, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Emat20211

It is a learning process, and creating a new article is one of the hardest things to do on Wikipedia. Your draft is submitted for review, and somebody will review it in due time. I see that you have again posted to multiple user talk pages and other pages asking people to review the draft. Once you have submitted it, so the yellow box saying "Review waiting, please be patient." shows up, you simply have to wait for the review to happen.
