Wrongly Edited
Dear Chrisw80,
My intention was not to edit/remove your comment but I wanted to put my point in the discussion; however, when I edited that page and added my comment, it put "Draftify & Weak Keep" automatically!!
Thenafter I tried to remove it but it was designed by computer I guess so I wasn't aware about it.
On the next stage, I kept a note in my talk page which you can see in history of edits if possible. It is as below:
"Whatever changes I have done till the time; they were approved by editors from wiki chat section; An Admin named MajoraWP insisted me to add citing into my articles and interview column which I did via adding 25+ references with in total 40+ references for the page.
Thenafter another admin visits the page and removes that table itself saying that those sources are not falling under 'noticeability'
While discussing with another admin named 'ScorpiouS' regarding the same; he accpeted that MajoraWP might not be familier with all policies!
So in this scenario; I guess there is fault of one of your admin who tried to help me out which is a great thing but due to his/her lack of knowledge, my article and interview section has been deleted.
NOT ONLY THAT BUT CURRENTLY THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN REQUESTED TO DELETE WHERE IT DOESN'T CONTAIN ANY INFORMATION WHICH IS NOT INDICATING NOTICEABILITY!! THUS IT WILL BE COMPLETELY UNFAIR TO REMOVE THIS PAGE WITHOUT AS THERE IS NO FAULT OF THE CREATOR!
I am still trying to make it more appropriate according to wiki stds that's what I can say while creating this page

Palavernier (talk) 05:34, 6 February 2016 (UTC)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_deletion/Abhinay_Banker
So it was lack of knowledge from my side and I don't wanted to edit your comment at all.
Once again, many thanks to support my argument and I hope this page will not be deleted as haven't breach any policies while drafting it.
-PalaVernier Palavernier (talk) 14:10, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hello PalaVernier, what MajoraWP, ScorpiuS, and myself have all tried to convey is that the sources must be reliable and independent (WP:RS). Also, for biographies of living persons, there must be comprehensive coverage from these types of sources (WP:BLP). I believe that this is the cause of confusion. Here are some of the unsuitable sources from the Abhinay Banker article:
- DNS Syndication Article "Akoopar on national stage" - doesn't have comprehensive coverage
- Prakash Gowda Blog - doesn't meet sourcing criteria (it's a blog)
- Acktors Theatre Blog - is also a blog and appears to utilize material from the the article's subject (not independent)
- AllEvents.in - is only an acting workshop taught by Mr. Banker himself and is also a primary source
- DNS Syndication Article "V-Day play to Stage Love Poetry...".
- The reviewers see these poor sources (from Wikipedia's perspective) and have legitimate concerns. Sources like this appear to be suitable coverage, however there are very few of these in the article:
- All in all, the more I look at the article and the sources, the less I think that Abhinay Banker is notable per Wikipedia guidelines. I would ask that you please find more reliable sources like the Indian Express source that discuss Mr. Banker and his work in detail. I hope this helps clarify things for you. Chrisw80 (talk) 16:50, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I saw that you have tagged the article as an advert. Can you please mention as to what all section/areas seems like an advert so that i can look into those. Lakun.patra (talk) 17:08, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Lakun.patra, thanks for your message. Sure, my concerns are:
- There's a lot of overlinking in the lead. Frankly, the whole sentence "The company deals in e-commerce, mobile applications, cloud computing, digital transformation, business intelligence, data analytics, testing, Agile software development, infrastructure, EAI and ERP, with more than 290 clients and offices in 14 countries." seems complete overkill to me.
- Far too much content is sourced from the company's own website or their press releases.
- Hope this helps! Chrisw80 (talk) 17:22, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Rollback granted
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/Wikipedia_Rollbacker.svg/130px-Wikipedia_Rollbacker.svg.png)
Hi Waggie. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 01:38, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jewjoo (talk • contribs) 09:02, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- No need to open another noticeboard discussion about this.. The admins will examine my behaviour carefully as well. If I have erred with regards to Wikipedia guidelines or policies, they will not hesitate to let me know and I will learn from the experience. It's actually stated clearly at the top of the noticeboard page that editors submitting reports will have their own actions scrutinized as well. Chrisw80 (talk) 09:39, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
(Barnstar moved to userpage)
- Exazonk, thank you for the barnstar and you're welcome! With a charged and controversial topic such as this, I find it especially important to verify citations and sources. If I had really found it necessary, there are plenty of options for dispute resolution available to all editors. In this case, the other editor was actually hurting their case by their behaviour, so I was not that troubled. If you're not familiar with those dispute resolution options, please see WP:DR. Again, if you're not familiar (forgive me if you are), one very important thing to note in dispute resolution discussions is to make a distinction between article content disputes and editor conduct disputes. Getting the two confused can escalate matters (and not in anyone's favor). Also of note is that if I had not remained calm, the outcome of the situation could have been very different. Go browse WP:ANI if you ever want to see how some of these things can go horribly wrong. Best wishes! Chrisw80 (talk) 11:29, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
The Analysis section says "Subheadings use 1662 Book of Common Prayer (BCP) (see above)" so I changed the text to be consistent with the 1662 text a few lines above (the middle one), which has a source already. I thought my comment briefly said that. Rerevert if you wish or leave it as a mixture of 1662 and 1928 - your choice --86.185.237.167 (talk) 00:46, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
- I have responded on the IP user's talk page. I screwed up with my revert and reverted the revert. Chrisw80 (talk) 04:35, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
Die! Die! Die! url
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your response to my query re the URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die!_Die!_Die!
Yes, the page loads fine for me too, but it is the linking from elsewhere that fails, due to the exclamation marks.
Manually altering the URL to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die%21_Die%21_Die%21 every time anyone wants to insert a link to the page doesn't seem like an ideal solution.
Regards,
Lee McLean o Otepoti 21:40, 23 February 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pliny o Otepoti (talk • contribs)
- Hello Pliny o Otepoti, thanks for the response. Changing the title of a page is relatively easy, however changing the title to create the URL you're asking for would violation Wikipedia's article naming policy. Please see WP:NAME. There are some symbols that aren't allowed, but an exclamation is not one of them. There are a variety of other article topics that have exclamations at the end of their names, for instance:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/!WOWOW!
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/!T.O.O.H.!
- However, giving this some thought, I realized that a redirect would fit within guidelines and I note that there is already a redirect in place at:
- Perhaps you should point to that instead from your external sites? I hope this helps. Chrisw80 (talk) 21:51, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Koffucha
Thanks, as I mentioned, I knew how to redirect, but the way you did it the author has no credit for writing about koffucha. WannaBeEditor (talk) 05:03, 25 February 2016 (UTC) Hi WannaBeEditor, I see. Well, credit for authorship is handling in our Page Histories. Please remember that Wikipedia is for everyone. I'm not sure what kind of credit you're looking for, but perhaps it's not like what you think it is. Would it make sense to you to create only a part of an article and then expect credit for the whole thing when you copied most of it from another page? If you create a section on the Kombucha article about Koffucha (providing reliable sources, of course), you will be credited in the page history with creating that section, then others will be able to edit it to improve it if they like. Please see WP:OWN for more information on this. Thanks for replying, please let me know if you have any more questions, I hope I answered this one to your satisfaction. Chrisw80 (talk) 05:27, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- I am not the author of the Koffucha article, I just patrolled it. I wanted to redirect it to Kombucha while maintaining its revision history so that the original author can take credit for it. WannaBeEditor (talk) 05:33, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- Well, there wasn't much there to take credit for, but someone can still get to the page history there if they bypass the redirect. You're welcome to invite the author in question to create the section instead, or pull the content from the history, move it to Kombucha, and credit the author in the talk page on Kombucha if you like. Just please make sure it's sourced! :) Chrisw80 (talk) 05:36, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Further to your message about an edit I made to The Big Bang (Doctor Who), this was not a test and I have no idea what could have caused you to think so, especially in view of my previous edit to this page and the summaries provided. The word 'inescapable' is being used incorrectly. It is being used in the sense of 'impossible to remove yourself from', when it actually means 'impossible to avoid'. 217.43.31.156 (talk) 08:36, 28 February 2016 (UTC) Hello 217.43.31.156, you are indeed correct.

Schott AG - Rework of intro section and your recent rollback
Hi Chrisw80 - I don't see how the reduction of content violates the neutral position directive in any way and disagree with the decision. Actually all information present in my recent edit has been there before. I just regrouped it and cut the mixture of historic and current information to streamline the intro. It would be helpful to know how you justify the rollback. On which specific findings did you base your decision? Ah and I had to reregister a neutral, personalized account since my old Account Schott got blocked due to company name restrictions on the english wikipedia. Nevertheless, I would love to get into that discussion with you, since I just cannot see a violation here on my part that would justify a rollback. I carefully read the wikipedia instructions on what to do and how to do it right. So I am really looking dorward to your response and hopefully we can work this out. Best regards, Ffedit (talk)
Jonathan Rosand Draft
Nhv2001 (talk) 17:00, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Dear Chris,
Thank you so much for reviewing my recent draft article. I appreciate your comments and will attempt to add more secondary sources. However, I do feel that my subject's notability was sufficiently established. The notability page to which you directed me lists 9 criteria, any one of which is sufficient to establish notability. Criterion 5 provides that (1) a "named chair appointment" at (2) a "major institution of higher education and research" establishes notability. In the second line of my article, I state, with corroborating source, that Jonathan Rosand "holds the J.P. Kistler Endowed Chair in Neurology at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)." According to Wikipedia article on Massachusetts General Hospital, MGH is "the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School" and "conducts the largest hospital-based research program in the world." Does this not establish both that (1) Dr. Rosand holds an endowed chair and (2) he does so at a major institution of higher education and research?
Would it be sufficient to replace my current reference to Dr. Rosand's faculty page with a link to the MGH website awarding his current endowed chair position?
I would appreciate any additional input you have that would allow my article to meet Wikipedia's requirements.
Thank you very much! Neil

Help regarding rejected article about the HighStep System
Hello Chrisw80,
First of all thank you for your feedback on my Wikipedia article about the HighStep System. As you can see, I have changed it very much since the first draft, adding the technical explanation about how the system works. The problem at the moment is that, while I can find sources that talk about it in general, the details are only contained in the book cited in the External resources, which, as I understood, is not a good reference because it was published by the company itself.
Is there any other way in which you could suggest me to structure the article in order for it to respect the guidelines of Wikipedia?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks a lot,

Hello Chrisw80. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3), or significance (CSD A7) moments after they are created, as you did at Krishna Hackster. It's best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.Template:Z149 IagoQnsi (talk) 05:32, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi IagoQnsi, thanks for your warning template. I normally do wait, but my research found these: Krishna Kumar Mandal and Krishna hackster. As it had been created and speedied a couple times already, I was a little impatient. Chrisw80 (talk) 05:40, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Dear Chrisw80-
regarding the article www.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMACK
On 10 March, 2016, both you and a friend of mine who knows coding made edits to my references area on my above written article.
I believe now all references correctly link to their sources. However at least four or five are missing, is I had a new footnote number four each person in the key personnel section.
I don't know where they went, and I don't want to be busted by a Wikipediain, but I am a little at a loss of what to do.
I'm going out of town for a couple of days and will not have computer access, and I do not wish to return to find my whole article has been deleted.
Please, please if you can help me know what to to prevent deletion and fix footnotes.
I am greatly appreciative.

- Hello Kkimbero, I will look over your article when i get home later and see how it stands. If it looks in danger of deletion, i will preserve the article as a draft to avoid deletion. If memory serves, though, it didn't look as though that was a concern. Best wishes. Chrisw80 (talk) 20:45, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

- Hello there, I reverted your edits because it appeared you were vandalizing an existing redirect page. I suggest you create your proposed article via the Article Wizard. Be aware, however, that all articles on Wikipedia need to be considered "notable". Please see WP:GNG for more information. If your software is not finished yet, then it is probably not ready for Wikipedia yet. Best wishes! Chrisw80 (talk) 01:42, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

- No, you just added the Article Wizard comment tag to the top of it. Please actually use the article wizard to draft an article properly. Please follow the steps at WP:WIZARD to create a draft article. Chrisw80 (talk) 01:58, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Dee Snider
Hi, Chris. The constructive tone of your message just minutes ago is appreciated. I dont' have an account because I'm no Wikipedia maven; I only by chance noticed that you had even left me a message. I didn't do a footnote because I thoguth my edits on Snider were common knowledge. (I worked in music in the 1970s-80s.) My edits were instigated by just having seen the video documentary (in which Snider, bandmates, manager, and record company exec all agreed on these facts) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIbqvwS1TcM . I hope you restore my edits, because the article was incorrect to the extent it omitted them and because they are the truth; however, I'm in no position to argue and I have "no dog in this fight"! So, do what you have to do, and thanks again for your civility. - Andy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.203.188 (talk) 03:13, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hello there Andy, thanks for your message. I appreciate the willingness to have a discussion. Just so you know, YouTube is rarely considered a reliable source on Wikipedia. Honestly, I think that article has a lot of problems with it regarding sourcing, I'll probably take another walk through it later to try and clean it up some more. If it's been covered by a reliable source, could you provide a link for it? Thanks for your time! Chrisw80 (talk) 03:34, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Jackson Wang's Wikipedia
I reverted back to the sourced edits which were cut by user 2601:245:D001:7AC0:4CC0:CF70:A7C7:27C5 . It was already a sourced edit in the first place and user 2601:245:D001:7AC0:4CC0:CF70:A7C7:27C5 was the one eho vandalized it by removing it from Jackson's wiki.

Hydroxyapatite Crystal Disease
Chrisw80, this is in response to your email to me, regarding my latest comment you have taken off. i have the above disease, and have had it for around 10 years. With so little information available anywhere about it's effects on the body, i have written about my time with it, in the hope of helping others on how it works. I realise this disease may effect others slightly differently. but my comments are just a rough but accurate guide on how it progresses. As time goes by, so my disease changes, and i want to describe these changes to benefit others. As i said, very little is known about this disease, and no research is been done as it's quite rare. I thought Wikipedia would be a good place where many people might learn about the actual process of how the disease works ?. The end result of this disease, according to my specialist, is the total disintegration of all infected joints, over a time period of 15 to 25 years. If you deem my comments as not fitting for your encyclopedia, then please erase my past comment. from Redrum56 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redrum56 (talk • contribs) 16:41, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Redrum56, welcome to Wikipedia! As someone with a rather rare medical condition myself, I believe I have some understanding about what you're saying about wanting other people to understand the disease a little better. We do have an article, Calcific Tendinitis, which might be a better place for information regarding Hydroxyapatite Crystal Disease - have you looked there? Your efforts are welcome, but I should probably explain a little more about Wikipedia and our guidelines for content. We do need all content to be sourced from "reliable sources". Please review our page WP:MEDRS for more information about what constitutes a reliable source in this context. I've also left a welcome message at your own user talk page with a variety of general information regarding Wikipedia for you to peruse at your leisure. Thank you for taking the time to leave me a message. Please let me know if you have any more questions, I'm happy to help. Chrisw80 (talk) 17:56, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Anwar Agewan is deleted citing that the article do not pass general notability criteria but he is notable Gujarati language Author, biographer and editor. There may be problem with references but you should tag it with refimprove rather than deleting it. I was not even given a chance to defend the deletion. At least you should put it for discussion. The site you mentioned as Mirror site is not actually a mirror site but the site is owned by Gujarati Sahitya Parishad which donated their short biographies of Authors to Gujarati Wikipedia. The article was translation of the Gujarati article citing GSP as its source. May be more refs can be found and edited but please restore the article as he is important literary person in Gujarati language. Ping me if any questions. Regards, -Nizil (talk) 09:09, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Nizil Shah, thank you for taking the time to write to me on my talk page. I also want to thank you sincerely for taking time to translate articles from the Gujarati Wikipedia. The Anwar Agewan article had a wide variety of problems, similar to the Gujarati Wikipedia article. Please understand that guidelines and policies differ amongst the many Wikipedia language sites, so an article that may be acceptable on Gujarati Wikipedia, may not be acceptable here. My advice to you, since you feel strongly about this article being included, is to create a Draft using the Article Wizard for review. You might also want to read WP:AUTHOR for information regarding what constitutes notability for an author on English Wikipedia. Again, I appreciate you taking the time to write to me about this. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. Chrisw80 (talk) 18:55, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for your prompt reply. I feel that I was not given a chance to defend it before deletion. I think the article should be restored because the person is notable as per criteria IMO. I do understand that Notability criteria differ per language sites. If you think is not notable enough than the article should be restored and than moved to Draft so I do not have to rewrite it entirely. I will try to improve it further with more citations. I still think article has problem of citations, not of notability. So please restore it and tag it with refimprove OR restore it and move it to Draft if you feel it is not notable. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 19:24, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Re Aojiru article
Hi, you sent me a message regarding my edit to the article about Aojiru. The sentence in the article states that it is "a Japanese vegetable drink most commonly made from kale." As a frequent consumer of aojiru over the years, I made the edit because it is very common to find the beverage made primarily with barley grass and other ingredients such as tea leaves.
The best citation that I can offer online would be Amazon's product page-- there's kale-based aojiru to order, but you would find many more barley grass-based products. It's more difficult to prove, but the product selection in Amazon is similar to a typical grocery store or pharmacy in Japan. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_5?url=search-alias%3Dhpc&field-keywords=aojiru&sprefix=aojiru%2Caps%2C241
Here is also an article explaining the history of Aojiru. The popularity of the drink rose with the introduction of kale, but as the article states, kale was not the main ingredient when it was originally created. http://servelle.net/japan/03niche_products_-_menu/aojiru_green_juice.html
This article explains that young barley grass-based aojiru was introduced in 1969. http://aojiruusa.com/
Considering the prevalence of barley grass-based aojiru, stating that kale is the most common ingredient in the beverage would be misleading for someone who is interested in the product for consumption or for research. Perhaps the Wikipedia article should read, "a Japanese vegetable drink commonly made from kale, young barley grass or green tea leaves."
Just stating my reasons for editing. Best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DC789 (talk • contribs) 20:25, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Chrisw80. This is in response to your email. Firstly, if you had a "Reply" to your email section, instead of trying to go through endless pages to find the correct one in which to contact you, things would be easier. I am in my late sixties, disabled and doing my best to help others. I have Hydroxyapatite Crystal Disease in most joints in my body, which is progressing at an alarming rate recently of late. You suggest i should comment in "Calcific Tendinitis" section. I did not know this, as my specialist informed me i had Hydroxyapatite Crystal Disease, yet you seem to know more than my specialist ?. I think the best thing to do is to erase ALL my comments from your site, as honest factual things seems to be of no value to this site. I will erase my my details from your site forthwith. Regards, Redrum56. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redrum56 (talk • contribs) 23:09, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Redrum56, I don't control the email notifications that are sent by Wikipedia, I'm sorry if they were confusing. You could have responded either on my talk page here (which I linked you to in my message on your own talk page), or on your own talk page - I've been checking both as I wanted to make sure I got your message wherever you left it. I am definitely not as well qualified regarding Hydroxyapatite Crystal Disease as your specialist, however it is my limited understanding that HCD does fall into the category of "Calcific Tendinitis". As there isn't enough information regarding HCD to warrant it's own article, I thought that the article regarding Calcific Tendinitis might be a correct place for you to put your information. I am also doing my best to help you, if you don't want my help, that is your prerogative. Please let me know if you would like further help. Chrisw80 (talk) 03:18, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
To Chrisw80. You are probably correct in saying Hydroxyapatite Crystal Disease comes under the term "Calcific Tendinitis" but, i did not know this, as any other person told they have HCD wouldn't know to look for HCD under "CT" banner either ?. As i stated before, i have spend countless hours over the years trying to find any information on my disease. This is why i put on this website my personal story, of what actually happens to someone with this disease as it progresses through time, as nowhere else that i know of can such an account as mine be found, with an insight into its progression. So i have to stick to my idea of having (if any is printed) advice for other suffers of HCD, only under the HCD heading. I hope you understand my point. Redrum56.
