Please note the following guidelines for my talkpage: DO watch or pay attention to my talk page. If contacted here, I will reply here to avoid a divided conversation. Likewise, if I start a conversation on your talk page, and you attempt to divide it, I will cross-post my original statement here and reply here.

H-Town page edits/Harassment
I have been viciously attacked by one of the members of the R&B group H-Town via their Wikipedia page and I noticed that any revisions I've made have been changed by you or other moderators or admins. However nothing has been done about the perso, DinoFan92, who keeps making edits and putting up false information. He has also put up sections with my full name. I've noticed that he has also deleted entire sections without penalty but when I did the same thing due to his harassment of me, my IP temporarily got blocked. I would like to know what's going on.

I think this was the source that was originally used for Keven's death before all the edit warring happened: https://www.chron.com/entertainment/music/article/H-Town-s-Dino-Conner-R-B-artist-dies-at-28-2084449.php Not sure about it's reliability about the events leading to the death or whether that needs to be in the article. Death part seems reliable though given there is an obit: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/houstonchronicle/obituary.aspx?n=keven-conner-dino&pid=777461 TelosCricket (talk) 22:39, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

CliffNotes
A little blue Bori v^_^v Onward to 2020 or Jéské Couriano. I'm not sure what you have against Hadrian. (Who knew people in northern England and Scotland could learn to climb a wall?) Besides it was Trajan that had the column. Anyway I'll try CliffNotes (though I am only remotely acquainted with such, do they use bullet points?):
- I have been editing Wikipedia, I guess going on my twelfth year. I think the contributions which I used to make, and am willing to continue to make, can no longer continue under the current environment of new article creation. Contributions include numerous articles and overall organization of Chinese poetry, Japanese poetry, and a start on Chinese mythology topics. I am asking for help because for the first time I really need it, and I am ignorant of most Wikipedia functionality other than reading or editing articles.
- I have specifically been subjected to bullying by User:Hzh, and would like some sort of support and help in this regard.
- I would like to see some valuable reforms in the New article review process. As an experienced editor in the area of new articles, I would like to contribute in a positive manner towards this. I think it would be useful to Wikipedia for me to share or discuss this in the appropriate forum or fora (although what these would be, I have no idea). However, if Wikipedia will not listen and respond to the issues of its editors, it is likely to stagnate. I would hate to see that. I have enjoyed editing Wikipedia, sometimes, and feel it has been a contribution toward making the world a better place.

I saw you removed lots of references from the article Prakash Neupane as a bad source or trash source. I restored everything which you removed from the article cause I think like you've no knowledge about notability as you removed The Diplomat and Asia Times as trash source. On what basis those are trash source? I don't have any question regarding other sources. Can you explain? Owlf 05:50, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- The Diplomat source's coverage of him consists of a name-drop and a sound-bite from him and does not discuss him in any real depth. The Asia Times source includes lyrics from one of his songs and is thus copyright infringement. Did you even read the sources before restoring them? —A little blue Bori v^_^v 2020's a bust; thanks SARS-CoV-2 05:57, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- Not to mention you also restored content I removed for having no source what-so-ever. —A little blue Bori v^_^v 2020's a bust; thanks SARS-CoV-2 05:57, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yes I read the coverage of him in The Diplomat it has been discussed about the whole Nepali hip-hop community and about the musicians for which he has been covered and in Asia times he is widely covered and being a Nepali Wikipedia editor I saw that the author has translated lyrics but not and doesn't fall under copyright infringement. Owlf 06:07, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- And about his appearances on Nepal Television & Radio Kantipur it's available on Youtube. I know youtube is not accepted as a reliable source on Wikipedia but Televisions and radios don't publish article they broadcast it. Owlf 06:13, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- YouTube actually is usable as a source, under specific conditions (Produced by a news agency and uploaded by that news agency to its own channel). There is nothing that forbids citing audiovisual news sources, and in fact we have multiple citation templates specifically for it. —A little blue Bori v^_^v 2020's a bust; thanks SARS-CoV-2 06:24, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Edit summary comments are not talk pages
I really don't expect User:Cabejr will guess they can find any reply to their question in the edit summary space, especially after the question has been deleted (special:diff/973537127). May be you could simply add your answer below the question (instead of deleting it), just 'to avoid a divided conversation'...? Posting at OP's talk page may work as well. --CiaPan (talk) 20:25, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
- The question was posted in two areas on Oshwah's talk page, and based on his contributions, plus the fact that automated translation is generally not 100% legible to a native speaker, I'm not sure how helpful a message on his talk page would be.

Trolling?
Hey there, at the Sushant Singh Rajput's talk page, Grant's responses are starting to feel fishy to me. They say Well I’m here to change cause of death from suicide (which is somebody’s opinion) to “ Asphyxia due to hanging”
but has also said the only official statement came from police which says it’s suicide. To me that’s the only acceptable facts.
Here you've been accused of being contradictory and yet Grant appears to be simultaneously arguing for inclusion of suicide and for exclusion of suicide, meanwhile making profound suggestions like I would suggest to keep an open mind for future and let the investigation unfold the details
when we've already indicated the article would be updated as new information developed. They've also said things like I see that you’re passionate about this topic
, which feels provocative. While it's possible they are totally oblivious about who made these determinations about Rajput's death (medical examiners vs. Wikipedians?) I do feel like they might be trying to get under our skins by trolling, or possibly it's just a WP:ICANTHEARYOU situation. I've opted not to respond to their last comment. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:16, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- It's wilful ignorance. I suspect Grant is a fan; his responces are about on par with arguments that stans have been making on the talk page and in -en-help. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Hasteur Hasteur Ha-- oh.... 05:18, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- Now in his most recent response he's dialed it back to not wanting it in the infobox, which was his initial position. I'm confused. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:26, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
SSR: So, what will be in the infobox?
Hey there, it might be worth converting the "So, what will be in the infobox?" discussion to a proper RFC to get wider input. I don't mind being the minority opinion between you and NedFausa, but I don't like that the talk page is currently unprotected, we have an obvious problem with SPAs who have an agenda, and there is a lack of input from other Wikipedians familiar with BLPs. Just a thought. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:10, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- How would I go about doing that? —A little blue Bori v^_^v Hasteur Hasteur Ha-- oh.... 21:13, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
- NM, found out how. I've added the RFC tag. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Hasteur Hasteur Ha-- oh.... 21:16, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Changing the death cause
I think we should change his death cause from Suicide by hanging to asphyxia due to hanging as nothing has been confirmed yet. Well if I'm not wrong you are an Indian right? Von de leorde (talk) 03:40, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- I am not an Indian, and we will do no such thing given that the CBI-commissioned AIIMS review reaffirmed suicide, as you would have figured out if you'd stopped and read any of the links I proffered on Cyphoidbomb's talk page, or any of the links cited on the FAQ. For all intents and purposes, suicide is proven, and thus matter is closed. We will not entertain conspiracy theories no credible source is taking seriously, especially on an article subject to our stricter biographical policies. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 03:44, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

SSR chats
Hey JC, no disrespect is intended, but I think it would be better to take the discussion with KaveriNadi to their talk page or something, as I'm not exactly sure even what their greater point is, and that talk page is so problematic that tangential chit-chat just seems like an invitation for problems. Feel free to disagree and ignore this comment, I just had an opinion I wanted to express. Thanks and regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:42, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
wording from help desk and edit summaries
You are very effective indeed in keeping and spam and other coi! But even dealing with people who are not good faith editors I have found it advisable to avoid negative words like those below in replying to an editor or in an edit summary. Be particularly careful with edit summaries: they can be suppressed, but not changed, so it is therefore advisable to keep them short and neutral.
"your post here, having an identical tone to the article, only damns the draft and your chances of continuing to edit here. "
"promotional trash"
"Revert this shit off. Don't collapse it, 86 it."
I'ts easy to forget; you and I have been here a similar length of time, and it gets very exasperated to keep dealing with some of this. I know that I too have sometime embarrassed myself by lapses. And I know how impatient one can get DGG ( talk ) 00:36, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
- With regards to that last one, see the edit history and (perennially-ignored) FAQ of Talk:Sushant Singh Rajput. They're not actually after help. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 07:09, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello Jéské Couriano,
These people have a legitimate concern about how Google answers this inquiry. It is a major screw-up on Google's part. They are coming to Wikipedia because Google is displaying this specific Wikipedia article as the source for Google's bad answer. So, I do not think that blanking posts and lecturing people in edit summaries is the best response. Why not just explain to people that Google is responsible for the error, and that they should contact Google? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:30, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- I would, if I haven't seen this sort of behaviour before. The problem is, I don't think they're going to particularly care what we're saying unless it's an unequivocal mea culpa. I've been dealing with this in -en-help as well and pretty much everyone who's come in there is aggressively refusing to listen when we say it's on Google's end. They don't want answers, they already have them. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 07:40, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- Each of these people is an individual human being and they should not be pigeonholed into a group without trying to communicate. It is not fair to categorize every one of them as completely unreasonable. This is completely different from the Sushant Singh Rajput situation. Those were people pushing a baseless conspiracy theory originating from the Hindu aversion to suicide. These people are correct and just need a clear explanation that Google is responsible for the error. Since the Wikipedia article is plastered on the Google error, it is not at all unreasonable that people would come here unhappy about it. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:51, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- Fine then. Try it your way. But don't come back here complaining that nobody is listening. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 08:47, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Teahouse replies
Please don't respond at the Teahouse this way. The whole point of the Teahouse is that it's where new Wikipedians get relatively gentle advice and correction, not to be told "all your sources are useless" and (edit summary) "all five sources are crap". You've been here longer than I have; you have to be familiar with WP:BITE. There is a place for blunt communication, no doubt. It isn't the Teahouse. To answer your followup question, yes, in that venue I do expect you to sugarcoat it. It's not difficult to be clear and unambiguous while also offering constructive help. If you could fix your signature so it actually shows your username, I'd appreciate that too. The current version isn't even related to it. › Mortee talk 21:59, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not going to sugarcoat that their article has little to no chance of being accepted by sin of having zero usable sources, especially when a previous attempt was deleted for having well-below standard sourcing. I don't sugarcoat when it comes to drafts in general; I've gotten burnt by it on #wikipedia-en-help by users whose reading comprehension can best be described as "for sale". That being said, if a draft has potential I do point it out, if you'd noticed had you bothered to look down the page. I've also on occasion actually looked for sources if necessary, including indicating which search strings I used to do so. As to the signature issue, that was already dealt with shortly after I read your initial Teahouse message, and is thus moot. This is merely the first time I've needed to sign anything since I changed it. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 05:15, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Ah, I thought the style was familiar. (The "new" editor's style, that is). It might not surprise you to hear that Squirrelnet has now created the article Zakariabenlafqih asked about in that thread, using the very same references. I draftified it, and should take a look at the other articles created by Squirrelnet as well. Their contributions log is... interesting (as is their user page!) --bonadea contributions talk 19:52, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Bonadea Whatever you're gesturing at can be taken to WP:SPI. I'm only asking that the Teahouse be respected as the one place on Wikipedia where more gentle communication is still a norm. If people turn out to be miscreants, take it up elsewhere. (This is also in reference to your edit summary "Wikipedia needs more people who don't hesitate to say it like it is". More people speaking clearly instead of saying "... interesting" would be a good thing. More people telling Teahouse contributors that all their sources are "crap" would not be.) › Mortee talk 22:27, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

- If you look at the deletion logs, it's an ongoing issue. If I had to guess, I would say it resembles a hypothetical situation where a teenage businessperson has mercilessly pushed their own interests on wiki. I only wish these hypothetical people knew that the harder they push, the harder it makes it to achieve their goals: in the case of Golbin, three accounts are already blocked for socking, and Aaron Golbin is create protected.--- Possibly (talk) 04:14, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
Tarsus_American_College
Hi! I saw Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Tarsus_American_College and thought I could ask some Turkish Wikipedians if they could find some sources about this school. Some of the articles may be in Turkish but have English abstracts. Would you be alright looking at any of the sources that are written in English and giving your views on whether they prove notability?
Also in regards to using master's theses as sources, Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Scholarship states "Masters dissertations and theses are considered reliable only if they can be shown to have had significant scholarly influence." I can check to see if any academic books cited that master's thesis, as I think that would give admissibility to that thesis. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:22, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- If they aren't anything like the sources which came up via Google - almost all of which were name-drops - I wouldn't mind looking at them, but some of the issue here is that the article proper has serious WP:COI issues, as the AfD caused a lot of single-purpose accounts who appeared to be connected to the school in some way to crawl out of the woodwork. In all honesty, you'd be better off seeing if a relevant WikiProject exists that could assess the sources, though - it will likely take me a while to assess, and if they require technical/topical knowledge I don't have, I'd be little better as a source assessor than any other yahoo off the street. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 07:16, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- That's fair enough! I'm in talks with people on the Turkish Wikipedia and used your points to make a suggestion: they could re-write the article from the ground up (in other words bypass the content written by "single purpose accounts"). So far what they've found is predominately in Turkish and so they might be in a better position to interpret the sources. I also will tell the WikiProject Turkey on the English Wikipedia about this.

- WP:WikiProject Education might also be able to help. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 20:56, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

How to fix Edits For Theo Von
Hey- you reverted my edits. The stray animal belt is a real place where he grew up. I will get more links. It is not an inside joke.
For adding he is a Pisces I can say it more formal. He reached out to me to ask me to make certain edits. He is quoted saying a lot of things. If he was quoted saying that in an article may I do it as a quote as well? and can you give me tips on how to make it proper if so?
Also can you help me with another page I am trying to get launched for the artist Shawn Theodore? Romanstuff (talk) 20:57, 21 September 2021 (UTC)RomanStuff
- I've made no edits to Theo Von - you want to talk to Ash-Gaar (talk · contribs) - and I've already dealt with the latter half of the question on WP:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 22:37, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello. Your comment was far too vehement and comparing routine businessperson puffery to the 16 year old Siegenthaler incident is both incorrect and over the top. It is important to explain and defend BLP policy, but it is equally important to do so in a way that does not bite newcomers or rely on hyperbole. Please be very sparing in your use of bold, italic, bold italic and colored text. Write to persuade instead of to berate. Thank you. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:21, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
Draft: Charles Williams
Thanks for a thorough review.
Appreciate your help in this matter. Political appointees were added to wikipedia at time of appointment with no individual effort. Assistant Secretary Charles Williams was overlooked. The following are peers, predecessor and successor. Do you know how wikipedia lists some but not all in similar positions? More references were added. Added 4 more references. Maybe going about this incorrectly.
Thanks Flagship1
Peers:
John Henderson (Air Force Asst. Secretary) Alex Beehler (Army Asst. Secretary) Jordan Gillis (Army Asst. Secretary) Greg Slavonic (Navy Asst. Secretary) James Geurts (Navy Asst. Secretary) Thomas Harker (Navy Asst. Secretary)
Predecessor:
Lucian Niemeyer (Navy Asst. Secretary
Successor:
Meredith Berger (Navy Asst. Secretary) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flagship1 (talk • contribs) 17:01, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
- One possible explanation. And another. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 18:45, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Flagship1: But the more concerning thing to me, now that I have had my coffee, is that some of the links were unassessable because of what appeared to be poor attempts to shorten them by throwing in random ellipses in the URL. This doesn't work; all it does is break the URL and make the link useless. In addition, we expect references to be formatted a certain way, especially for articles about living/recently-departed people, and the sourcing fell well short of that standard when I looked at the draft last. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 19:20, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
Draft: Night Slashers X
Greetings, that is kind of too bad that there has to be some controversy in order to include a fan game project or patch for a game. it has been a while that i have been thinking about adding or requesting articles based on notable game hacks, mods, and obscure original creations.
Sometimes these creations are found only in some dedicated forums or are just mentioned in youtube videos, and are very hard to find in search engines, another negative is that some people trying to find them end up in dubious download websites and risk harming their computers.
i will take alook at articles similar to AM2R & see if i can fix the NSX article better. My original intention was to request the topic or article instead of making it myself, tho....
thanks 189.181.133.90 (talk) 19:52, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- Not necessarily controversy, but some sort of coverage. The problem with fangames is that coverage is almost always a kiss of death for a fangame, as the publicity leads the rightsholders to put the kibosh on it (see also: My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic's demise after it made an EVO poll). There's a reason why there're few fangame articles, and why many of them are postmortems. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 21:18, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
Your assessment re Draft: Mansi Choksi
Hi there,
Thanks so much for spending the time and energy to walk me through this. I think I understand the distinction now and went ahead and added appropriate links that I believe better establish Choksi's notability.
I'll sum it up here:
1. https://opcofamerica.org/Awardarchive/the-madeline-dane-ross-award-2018/ An award that describes her work and that was presented at an award ceremony hosted by a CBS anchor and uploaded to the official OPC site.
2. https://medium.com/the-coalition-for-women-in-journalism/mansi-choksi-represents-cfwij-at-article-19-mexico-ad54f5d895a This article sums up a speech she gave at an Article 19 conference in Mexico about her work in journalism. Article 19's official channel. Article 19 is a human rights organization that is linked to a Wiki page above. I have also linked to a Youtube video aired on an Spanish news TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIDlYSZnUl4
4. https://www.iwmf.org/reporting/a-chance-to-rewrite-history-the-women-fighters-of-the-tamil-tigers/ This piece, although written by her, includes an intro by the editor since it was the last piece written by the murdered Swedish journalist Kim Wall. It also won a nomination for the Livingston Award, which is the most prestigious award for journalists under 35, they are referred to as the Pulitzer of the Young, as seen in its Wiki page.
5. https://longreads.com/2017/12/22/the-top-5-longreads-of-the-week-201/ Her story has been picked as the top 5 long reads.
6. https://wallacehouse.umich.edu/2018-livingston-award-finalists-announced/ I changed the link to Wallace House to show that she was a finalist for the most prestigious award for journalists under 35.
I'll look forward to your thoughts.
Thanks once again!!!
