It wasn't a clarification, it was a statement of opinion and was removed per WP:NPOV. If you want to make a report WP:ANI is the place to do that. MrOllie (talk) 21:22, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll definitely make a report Ansrea (talk) 21:35, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Check the New Zeland Passport page. Bye Ansrea (talk) 21:38, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

3rd World Country - Beer Festival Entry

You still have not provided a valid reason for removing this one line entry from the Beer Festival page. You cite Advertising, but there is no advertising in this entry: "In Quito, Ecuador, a yearly beer festival called VIVA Cerveza! takes place. The first was in 2016. It is listed as the 3rd largest festival in South America."

Yet, that same page is LITTERED with advertising from international brands and corporations, yet, you do nothing of deleting those entries. Perhaps because they are from 1st world countries and these are large corporate brands? Do you have a prejudice?

You state the following violation: "Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion."

Again, my single line entry does no such thing. Vivacerveza (talk) 02:23, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yawn. Where's that arbitration you were threatening? I'm waiting. MrOllie (talk) 02:24, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Really, that's your response? "Yawn, Where's that arbitration you were threatening? I'm waiting". So ignoring my valid request for clarification on the reason you deleted my single line entry, with no validity of sopapboxing, advertising, or promotion, is the way you handle yourself? Well, that makes my case even stronger. Thank you. Vivacerveza (talk) 02:36, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Defensive driving

"A driver safety program called the Driver Example Program was developed in 1964 by Chris Imhoff of the (US) National Safety Council." this is a promotion / primary source (reference 3) and on top of this, this Wikipedia page/article is linking to a page that no longer exists, it links to a page not found.

Hello

Rather than just saying predatory journal and remove two other journals which have nothing to do with "predatory" as you say discuss that edit before you do that, also don't just revert an entire edit without thinking of the other citations which have nothing to do with that source which you do not like. Therefore, i will revert your edit, but will replace that predatory journal as you say. CtasACT (talk) 20:16, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You must get consensus for your edits on the article's associated talk page. Coming to my user talk to order me around, and then continue edit warring, will just getyou blocked. MrOllie (talk) 20:42, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, as i said i was the first individual to give the source if an editor disagrees with which i have added then it is their job to give out the consensus to why my first edit was wrong, i have been nice to you and removed the source which you disliked, you removing the two sources will get you blocked much less me for actually citing valid reasons. Hypocrisy on your side is ironic, now i will revert edit yours and as i said if someone disagrees, they must first create a talk age and explain why my edits are wrong, they brought forth the disagreement i simply edited. CtasACT (talk) 20:54, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You have it backwards. See WP:BRD. See you on the article talk page - you should not post here any further. MrOllie (talk) 21:19, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Closeness to colleagues

Hi MrOllie assuming Astor's reference is okay will I encourage Ireland to do something of a similar quality? He told me it would be months before he can get a paper out on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Todd Unctious (talk • contribs) 02:12, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No. Please read WP:COI. You shouldn't be posting about Ireland, and if you encourage him to write something we should not use it on Wikipedia. MrOllie (talk) 02:15, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for not signing the previous comment. Todd Unctious (talk) 02:15, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I need to encourage someone to write about it. What can we do? Is the Astor Zhao one okay? Todd Unctious (talk) 02:16, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is also a blog. Wikipedia isn't a newspaper, we lag behind the cutting edge on purpose. Please read WP:RS and WP:OR. Wait for someone completely unrelated to you to write about it of their own volition. MrOllie (talk) 02:18, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just called him he says he can get a World of Science indexed paper on it out by around May. I told him not to ask me to post it but to speak to you about what to do. Todd Unctious (talk) 02:22, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What to do is nothing - this kind of thing runs counter to the purpose of Wikipedia. Please take some time to review Wikipedia's policies, particularly WP:NOR, WP:COI, and WP:SOAP. Wikipedia isn't a venue to get the word out about the latest developments or to include your latest papers. MrOllie (talk) 02:25, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Really? I'll be honest with you. That is going to be a difficult thing to keep the lid on. While the publishers have Wikipedia in the journal metrics Universities are insisting that academics cite on Wikipedia. I know because I've attended workshops on it. Todd Unctious (talk) 02:32, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is a huge problem. Everyone who is doing this is actually violating Wikipedia's terms of use. MrOllie (talk) 02:38, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Then you need to speak to the publishers about not including Wikipedia in the metrics. It's on an industrial scale. It used to be Linkedin but that is now out of most metrics. Now Wikipedia is without doubt top of the agenda when I attend research promotion workshops. I'm sure the only way you are going to solve the problem is by asking the publishers to stop. And what probably makes it worse for Wikipedia is that Twitter is another big one they use and we all know what's happening there.Todd Unctious (talk) 02:47, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
