Magic button

Hi Stabila, thank you for your help at Wikipedia talk:Donated artwork. I tried to put some order in the conversation there and messed with your post. Please feel free to change as appropriate. Also, I added a new section Wikipedia talk:Donated artwork#What should the button do? and only realized later that part of the message under your example should be included there, as well. Since your idea was earlier than mine, please don't hesitate to insert it at the beginning of that section. I just didn't want to chop up another message of yours. — Sebastian 18:08, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Forensic chemistry has been nominated for Did You Know

Your GA nomination of Forensic chemistry

The article Forensic chemistry you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Forensic chemistry for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

I know your logos didn't get picked, but you were instrumental in contributing to the logo discussion in the early stages. Without you, it's hard to imagine the discussion really taking off as far as it did. In the spirit of the milestone, thank you for your contributions, and keep doing what you do!

A barnstar for you!

The Special Barnstar
I just wanted to thank you for your contributions and submissions to the 5 million article logo vote. You were absolutely instrumental in getting the vote off the ground and I think it’s fair to say that the overwhelming majority of the ensuing logo submissions were inspired or influenced by your submissions. Thank you again for all of your help. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 05:16, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Doctor Garrett Fit: This is the exact definition of spam and adding a link to your website is the exact definition of a conflict of interest. Have you read our policy on external links that I placed on your talk page? It does not matter if your company is non-profit or not, adding these links to Wikipedia articles is considered promotion and spam. These will be removed and repeatedly adding them to articles can result in your editing privileges being revoked. You mention that other promotional links have been added to articles but give no actual proof to your claims. If these are there they should be removed as well. --Stabila711 (talk) 05:53, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Stabila: Let me see if I understand you correctly. You are saying that wiki ref. pages reg. such major commercial outfits as "Women's Health" have been constructed by "volunteers" & not by persons affiliated with those cos.? Is that correct? Thank you for your assistance.GarrettDoctor Garrett Fit (talk) 06:32, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Doctor Garrett Fit: That is correct. We are a community of volunteers. We do not edit pages that we have a conflict of interest in. That is one of our guidelines for editing. In addition, those references are used to verify a claim that is in the article. It is not designed to promote Woman's Health or any other magazine. Just placing a link in the page that is not used to verify any content but is instead used to advertise a website or service is spam and is not acceptable. Please see WP:NOTSPAM for more information. On another note, please don't place comments on the top of the page. Click on the edit button next to this section's header. --Stabila711 (talk) 07:17, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is this better? Wikipedia is the one making the claim that they are presenting a "list of health & fitness magazines". "Spanking FIT!" is such an online mag with scientifically superior content to any of those included and belongs on any serious list. Their articles are rarely written by scientific experts such as myself, and in most cases, are tawdry & commercialistic. Moreover, by including such pubs as "Women's Health", and not mine, I am feeling discriminated against. By the way, I forgot 2 ask what your role with Wikipedia is? GarrettDoctor Garrett Fit (talk) 08:09, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Doctor Garrett Fit: Have you read a single link I have posted to you? WP:External Links, WP:Conflict of interest, WP:Promotion. Those are all important guidelines and policies that all editors must follow. You have a conflict of interest with this website. You should never add this website to any article. Period. If you want you can use the article's talk page to request that the link be put in but you should never go ahead and do it yourself. You are not being discriminated against, you being forced to follow our policies and our guidelines that every other editor has to follow. And since you asked, I am an editor, just like everyone else. I have to follow the same rules everyone else does. I have to follow the same rules you do. --Stabila711 (talk) 08:33, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Who is your supervisor? I wish to communicate with her. Garrett Doctor Garrett Fit (talk) 19:37, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Doctor Garrett Fit: You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is and how it runs. This is not a business. There are no employees. There are no supervisors for you to try to go over my head to. This is a community of volunteer, unpaid, editors and multiple editors have already told you that what you are trying to add is spam. That is the end of it. There are no additional people for you to complain to. I have tried my best to explain to you our policies and guidelines that the community has set and you have refused to listen. You can finally choose to listen for you can not. It does not matter to me. However, if you continue to try to add spam links to the articles your editing privileges can be revoked and the website could potentially be added to our blacklist. It is completely your choice. --Stabila711 (talk) 05:22, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Stabila for your detailed reply and $4 explaining wikipedia 2 me. I will forward the info to my readers & students. By the way, where is your donors list? I did not C it in your donate link. Thx. Garrett Doctor Garrett Fit (talk) 06:13, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Black Lives. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted or removed.

  • If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
  • If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Zpeopleheart (talk) 06:56, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Black Lives Matter. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Zpeopleheart (talk) 06:58, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Vandalism (page protection level)

How to remove page semi-protection against vandalism on pages Vrutci and Lake Vrutci. Do you make it for me. Parkirovskieng (talk) 21:05, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Parkirovskieng: You can request that the protection be removed by posting to WP:RFPP. However, it was put in place for a very good reason and instead you should place an edit semi-protected request on the talk page of the article. You can do this by going to the article, either Vrutci or Lake Vrutci, clicking on view source at the top, and then clicking on "submit an edit request". Please note that all requests must be specific, they must be formatted in a "please change X to Y" format and they must have reliable sources that back up any claims. If these two things are not there the request will be rejected. I see that you have started a request on Talk:Lake Vrutci but you did not actually request anything. --Stabila711 (talk) 00:39, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have no idea why you came to me since I don't remember ever editing that page nor do I have anything to do with that page. But I have undid your edit. Never edit another person's post. Period. If you want to add to it make a new line and sign you posts with ~~~~. See WP:TPO for more information. --Stabila711 (talk) 06:22, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I have no clear idea how wikipedia articles are reviewed or a talk page claims are addressed, is it redirected to a certain no. of registered members or happenstance. I saw your name answering a certain question on Knanaya talk page and looking through your page I saw Detective Barnstar- In my wildest guess it seemed to be something related to investigation and such sorts. From the geo-location of this IP, you could also see the valid claims that's been pointed out and not some fluke needs. The thing is that I don't know where to address this issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.3.42.219 (talk) 06:55, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh. Claims on talk pages are verified by providing reliable sources that verify the claim being made. That is how Wikipedia works. All claims must be able to be verified from a source. The barnstar above was for a different matter involving articles I have improved. Please note that other Wikipedia articles cannot be used to verify a claim made in a separate article. You can use other articles as starting points but references must come from independent reliable sources. As to the people who respond to a talk page, usually registered editors have articles they like to edit on their watchlist. By doing this they will be notified whenever a new post is made. My edit in the past was because of an edit semi-protected request and I happen to watch that list. --Stabila711 (talk) 07:05, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you, is their an open-list where one can see the list of editors based on topics they manage. Is it a good practice to nominate topics to them for additional content and review. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.3.42.219 (talk) 07:13, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    There isn't a list for each article. You can only see how many watchers each article has. For the one in question that information you would go here. You can also try at talk page of the various Wikiprojects listed at the top of the talk page. The members of those projects take a special interest in the articles that fall under their jurisdiction and can usually provide more insight than people just passing by (like me). --Stabila711 (talk) 07:22, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism edit request on 2015-12-13

Hi, just a note regarding Talk:Osama_bin_Laden#Semi-protected_edit_request_on_13_December_2015: looks like when templates get vandalized, the vandalized version may show up to visitors from cache, while logged-in users see the fixed version. So when there are complaints about "clear vandalism" that cannot be seen, it can be useful to check with private browsing mode. A Wikipedia:Purge fixes such cache issues easily. --Petteri Aimonen (talk) 07:00, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Protection of the Christ's Sanctified Holy Church page

Hi Stabila711,

I'm a pretty new Wikipedia contributor, but am trying to come up to speed here out of necessity. The articles prior to my edits appear incomplete, and based solely on the bad press. Since those references were valid references, my edits endeavor to preserve those while providing a more complete accounting of the reference. I am associated with the organization and would like to ask your assistance in guiding me to getting some protection of this page so that it can be factually accurate and useful to the community. I would be most grateful Davcoz (talk) 03:43, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
