Speedy Deletion of Coverfox.com

Dear Adam9007,

Can you please help us with the wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coverfox.com as this page have been nominated for Speed deletion, I think it's a genuine .com companies of India and there is enough evidence and reference given to prove the same, there is continuos effort towards improving the page also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiranhota (talk • contribs) 13:23, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

@Kiranhota: Who're "us"? The article was tagged G11 advertising. I have removed the promotional bits, but could still be deleted on other grounds such as WP:Notability., although given the cited sources, it could very well meet that. The prose could be made a little more encyclopaedic though. Adam9007 (talk) 17:04, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello please I need assistance as to how to make an article that was deleted undeleted. Help me make it noteworthy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kelvinsage1 (talk • contribs) 18:51, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

@Kelvinsage1: Which article are you referring to? Adam9007 (talk) 21:31, 1 September 2016 (UTC) I am talking about the Oma Akatugba article.Kelvinsage1 (talk) 02:50, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

@Kelvinsage1: I don't see any such article. What is its title? Adam9007 (talk) 02:52, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

the article is in my draft page, when i submitted it, it was rejected.can you help me work on it? Kelvinsage1 (talk) 20:05, 9 September 2016 (UTC) the article name is Oma Akatugba

@Kelvinsage1: It was deleted at AfD as non-notable. Unless you can give more reliable secondary sources to prove notability in addition to making the tone more encyclopaedic (see Wikipedia:Writing better articles) it will be deleted again. I suggest you read the links given in the decline template (that's why it was rejected after all); if the article complies with them it may survive. For starters, you should get rid of the unencyclopaedic terminology (fondly, supremos etc) I'm afraid I I'm not familiar with the subject, so am not sure what to suggest beyond that. Adam9007 (talk) 00:15, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

i have removed those words, if you feel that it still is not neutral enough, can you help to edit it, please,?Kelvinsage1 (talk) 19:21, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

@Kelvinsage1: I see it's up for review again. Wait and see what the next reviewer says. Adam9007 (talk) 02:29, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

@DGG: You want it to continue here, if anywhere? Adam9007 (talk) 19:29, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

That was just to identify the discussion. Productive discussion on the topic should of course take place at the AfD, and non-productive nowhere. DGG ( talk ) 23:02, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Re: Eric Greitens

I had provided a reason for removing the information. A few days ago I had moved it to a more appropriate section of the page. It was then re-added to the beginning of the article (but it was already in the section). I therefore removed it. Thank you. 24.107.107.105 (talk) 01:07, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I missed that. But it's extremely difficult to assume good faith when you call people "dirty liberal". Adam9007 (talk) 01:09, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I lost my temper. Eric Greitens is the Republican nominee for Governor of Missouri. He is a hero and inspiration to all. His whole life has consisted of helping the less fortunate and needy, whether it was in China, Rhwanda, Bosnia, or his service as a Navy SEAL. Unfortunately, a handful of jealous people, mostly left-leaning people, want to do everything to attack Mr Greitens, including adding that information on his page. It's a shame that I can't remove it, so I just moved it out of the lead of the article, because it is so inappropriate to be placed there. 24.107.107.105 (talk) 01:14, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Comment to 24.107.107.105: Just a note to help you keep your temper AND not make assumptions about why people are editing the way they are: you apparently didn't realize that User:Adam9007 is not an American. I'm sure he has zero interest in who gets elected Governor of Missouri. Most people here make their edits to enforce Wikipedia policies such as verifiability and neutrality, not to promote some kind of partisan agenda. Please keep that in mind next time, OK? --MelanieN (talk) 21:31, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Looking a little deeper, I see that this is not the only time you have made this kind of partisan attack. I will explain on your talk page. --MelanieN (talk) 21:49, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

You are delusional. The people who added the vandalism on Eric's article in the first place are responsible for "partisan attacks". Did I ever say that you had to give two shits about who is elected governor of Missouri? No. But for those who do, they deserve to read articles about the candidates that are without vandalism or bias. How are you even an administrator if you can't grasp this basic point? 24.107.107.105 (talk) 19:43, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

1) No personal attacks 2) There's no need to resort to name-calling or incivility, even when dealing with vandalism or "bias". And, as MelanieN pointed out, not all of us are American, so there isn't necessarily any bias involved. Adam9007 (talk) 21:31, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Adam! I see that you removed a couple of PA rants from this user's talk page, while they were blocked. Usually it is good and helpful to delete personal attacks. However, while a person is blocked it may be best to leave them, so that administrators can see them and respond appropriately. (In this case, I extended his block.) That's just my opinion; others may say go ahead and delete them as fast as you see them. --MelanieN (talk) 01:52, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

@MelanieN: I've notified MusikAnimal, so the ball's in his court. Adam9007 (talk) 02:07, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

For the record the personal attacks don't hurt me... but that doesn't mean it's OK. Thanks MelanieN for extending the block — MusikAnimal ^talk 03:11, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Notability

Marvellous Spider-Man does not yet have sufficient knowledge/experience to be working in that department. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:00, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

@Kudpung: I couldn't find much either, nor do I see any credible claim of significance, and I seem to have gained a reputation for seeing them where none exist! Complete balderdash of course, but that's another matter. Adam9007 (talk) 02:24, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Not complete balderdash. Not even close. WP:INHERITORG --NeilN ^{talk to me} 02:27, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

@NeilN: That refers to notability, not significance. Adam9007 (talk) 02:28, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

The computer store down the street has a partnership with HP. Doesn't mean that connection makes them significant. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 02:32, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Depends on what sort of connexion or partnership. The local computer store is highly unlikely to have a strong one. Adam9007 (talk) 02:35, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Another example, some of the fashion stores downtown have arrangements with haute couture companies to exclusively sell their lines. Not a claim of significance. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 02:38, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

That's hardly a strong connexion, is it though? Adam9007 (talk) 02:39, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Of course it is. The fashion house's sales for the country go through that store. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 02:41, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at? I'm sure many can make such a claim. Adam9007 (talk) 02:45, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Connection to a notability entity is not an automatic claim of significance. If it were, we'd be going through articles of children of C-list actors. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 02:52, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

When I talk of strong connexions, I'm talking about founder, managing director, affiliate and the like. In some cases (such as a notable football team), merely being a member of something is significant. I did not say that any old connexion is significant.

Feedback on Hamza Tzortzis article

Greetings. I am currently working to improve the quality of the Hamza Tzortzis article on Wikipedia so that it meets several of Wikiepdia's guidelines.

Rollback granted

Hi Adam9007. 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! Widr (talk) 05:10, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Congrats, man! Now help us vandal fight! Oh, and if you need help or have questions about rollback, you know where my talk page is ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:54, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Adam! Let me add a caution about rollback: it happens instantly, there is no chance to say "oops, I didn't mean to do that" as there is with most other functions. I found this to be a problem when posting from my phone - big fingers, small buttons - and I more than once had to revert a rollback and apologize to the victim. In fact I asked to have it removed after a few months. (Now that I am an admin I am stuck with it. 0;-D ) Just something to be aware of. --MelanieN (talk) 14:34, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

@Oshwah: Thanks! I do have a question: is there any real difference between this rollback and Twinkle's rollback? I know this rollback is required to use tools such as Huggle, and fighting vandalism the old-fashioned way can be rather tedious as I have to go to the diff and half the time, ClueBot NG or someone else (you a lot of the time! :)) has beaten me to it by the time it loads (a slow internet connexion that frequently and "unexpectedly" commits suicide doesn't help). I see this rollback appears on my watchlist, unlike Twinkle's one, but I normally check edits before reverting them.

@MelanieN: If I accidentally use rollback, or realise I made a mistake, I'll just rollback myself. I know Twinkle's rollback (not the Vandal one; is that the same as this one?) allows an edit summary, so if I need one, I'll use that instead. I find it difficult to edit on a mobile phone, but I do browse Wikipedia using it. My phone normally refuses to follow a link unless I click it 3 or 4 times (that being said, I don't doubt that it will make an exception for rollback, unless of course I actually intend to use it :)), or the page loads in such a way that I appear to click on one link, but it takes me to a another one. But I suppose I shouldn't be using the desktop site on my phone in any case? Adam9007 (talk) 16:13, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

I don't doubt that it will make an exception for rollback, unless of course I actually intend to use it :)) LOL, you understand Wikipedia well! I know an engineer whose favorite curse is "Oh, the innate perversity of inanimate objects!" There's no reason not to use desktop view on your phone; I always do. --MelanieN (talk) 16:51, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

@MelanieN: I had always put it down to my phone being what it is: taking forever to load things, always crashing on me, and internet connexions dying seemingly for no reason (sometimes even taking the operating system with it!). Very annoying. Adam9007 (talk) 17:02, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Saving up for a new phone? Just sayin'. --MelanieN (talk) 17:06, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

@MelanieN: Yes, I do reckon I need a new phone. Adam9007 (talk) 17:14, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

@Oshwah: @MelanieN: Well, I've just used this rollback for the first time, and I've already cocked up the warning part :$. It seems this rollback isn't automated, unlike Twinkle. Maybe if I'm going to be rollbacking "normally" (i.e. not by using any special tool) I should stick to Twinkle? Adam9007 (talk) 16:44, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to the "omigod-I-have-a-new-tool-now-what" club. When I first became an admin I was terrified of the tools, and with good reason; my first admin action was to accidentally delete an article I had only meant to tag. All the buttons on Twinkle had changed. Don't give up on the tool until you've gotten familiar with it, and THEN decide which method you prefer. --MelanieN (talk) 16:51, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

@MelanieN: I was expecting this to act like Twinkle's rollback; automatically loading the reverted user's talk page and with the link to the page already in the "warn" dialogue box, which is really handy. This rollback does not (unless I'm missing something?), which is not handy at all, and rather annoying. Adam9007 (talk) 17:02, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Adam9007 - I got your pings regarding your questions with rollback. All the rollback user right does is add "[Rollback]" to the end of edits that are live on pages when you view them through the user contributions or page history logs. When you click "[Rollback]", all it does is rollback all of the changes that the user made back to the revision of the page that it was before he made those changes. If he/she made multiple changes in a row and one-after-another, it will roll back all of these changes by that user and to the revision of the page that was made by someone else. It does not warn any users automatically. Once you click the button, it performs the operation, and loads a page that says "Action complete" or "Rollback failed" (depending on the result). Twinkle is an extension that makes the process easier (what you already know); depending on which Twinkle URL you press, it will roll back the changes (either using rollback, or undo) and load the talk page for you to warn (or do so automatically). The rollback user right is good if you need to quickly roll back changes without doing anything else. Please let me know if you have any more questions :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:04, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

@Oshwah: I'll need to do a lot of warning when rollbacking, so it's probably best if I use Twinkle to rollback when I'm not using Huggle. Speaking of Huggle, it seems to be a rather interesting program (as you probably already know, I needed this right to be allowed to use it). I notice loading is a lot quicker than patrolling via the Recent Changes feed, I suppose that's because it's not loading all the unneeded stuff (logos, buttons, links etc) with it? I think I'm still getting the hang of it: how am I doing so far? Adam9007 (talk) 19:35, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

I use Huggle, Twinkle, and admin rollback interchangeably depending on the situation, the issue, etc. Huggle is a very powerful tool; keep that in mind every time you use it! Haha. The best advice I can give you is to use the buttons on the UI with the mouse and get proficient at it (and used to everything) before you begin using any keyboard shortcuts on Huggle. One accidental press of a key on Huggle will make the change without even telling you that it was done (it'll just flash in the 'Processes' tab very quickly). Other than that, as long as you take it slow and get affiliated with things using the mouse first, you'll do fine :-). If you have more questions about Huggle, you know where to find me. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:56, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

@Oshwah: One accidental press of a key on Huggle will make the change without even telling you that it was done That's not good news for someone (such as myself) who's always (almost) making typos :). Adam9007 (talk) 00:02, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

I occasionally press a key accidentally. As long as you get used to the interface, what the hotkeys do, and go slow... you'll be fine. If you do make a mistake with a hotkey, just check your contribs and find what it did, fix it, and go from there. It happens; nobody is perfect :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:08, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

@Oshwah: Thanks. By the way, I've always wondered why you need permission to use "normal" rollback, but you don't need permission to use Twinkle's rollback? Adam9007 (talk) 02:27, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Good question! I'll explain everything from the beginning. But to make things easier, lets make an example :-) :

1. You edit a page and make a few changes to it
2. I make one edit to the same page after you and change it, too
3. You make another edit after mine (to that same page) and save it
4. I then make three edits in a row after your edit from #3, and save each one

Lets say those last three edits of mine (#4) are vandalism. If you use the rollback right you were just granted, it will automatically revert the last three changes I made to that page (not including the previous edit I made between yours), and the page will reflect the last change you made (#3). Remember that if you want to undo my changes manually, you can do so simply by going to the history page, clicking on the revision you made in #3, pressing 'Edit', and then just pressing save. Twinkle's "rollback" will do either one of two things: If you don't have rollback rights, it will undo each of my three edits for you in that exact same manner... by finding the revision made on the page before my three edits (so, your edit - #3), editing that revision of the page, and then saving it. It looks like "rollback", but it's just using a different method to accomplish what you want. If you have rollback (which you now do), it just uses rollback if you use Twinkle to revert my vandalism. Huggle is typically allowed to be used on most projects without having rollback, but the developers added a feature to Huggle that (if set on a particular project) will require Rollback in order for you to be able to use it. The English Wikipedia is one project where this is enabled. If you use Huggle on a project without that flag set, I believe it does the same thing as Twinkle if your account doesn't have the user right -- it simply edits the revision made before my three edits, and hits save, which removes my changes. Rollback, in a nutshell, is just a faster way of reverting my current edits to an article compared to editing the revision made before it, and saving it. It just saves button clicks. And it's a common check flag that some anti vandal tools require (like Huggle on en-wiki) before you're allowed to use it. I hope this response wasn't too technical for you, but I wanted to thoroughly answer your question. If you need me to clarify anything, or if you have any more questions, please let me know :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:46, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

@Oshwah: Thanks. I've never really thought about how rollback is done (the actual method) until now, but I don't think I've yet noticed any difference in Twinkle. Adam9007 (talk) 21:03, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

No problem. You probably won't notice any difference, to be honest. Either method that Twinkle uses really only involves a few more extra steps. The two things that you're going to use rollback for are Huggle, and rolling back individual diffs made by a user across multiple pages. Haha :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 22:43, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi Adam - thought I'd pop by (hope you appreciate the British colloquialism) to ask how you were doing? I've seen you around before; I remember we were both impersonated by the same LTA (EU referendum guy). I saw you on Oshwah's talk page today, and I looked at your user page - I too have Asperger Syndrome, there are loads of editors on here like us :-). I've had my user page vandalised a few times also; it is one of the many things one gets used to whilst doing counter-vandalism work. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your evening! Zero^talk 19:46, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

@Patient Zero: Of course I appreciate the British colloquialism, seeing as I am British :) (you looked at my user page but missed that?). Sometimes I think I'm the most Autistic person here; I've had a lot of hoo-ha regarding CSD A7 in particular (and it's come to the point that I've written an entire essay on the subject!). I am convinced that my actions that led to this silly debate and my total inability to deal with it was me being very autistic indeed. 10 months on and I still can't get it out of my head. Similar incidents happening since then obviously doesn't help. My user page is protected and therefore cannot be vandalised by IPs at least. Whilst we're on the subject on having our pages vandalised, not to WP:CANVASS or anything like that, but can someone look at this edit? I'm convinced it's sheer vandalism (I tagged one of his pages for deletion) rather than good faith, and it so happens that my user page has also been vandalised in retaliation for me tagging a page for deletion. It's annoying not being allowed to deal with it, although I'm considering doing so anyway per WP:IAR. Adam9007 (talk) 21:23, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

I didn't miss that at all - I know you are British, that's why I said that :-) Don't feel bad about the A7 thing - I know you did the right thing, and I found your essays useful, so thank you for writing them. Just so you know, you can decline a speedy as long as you didn't create the article yourself - but I do think the tagging was in bad faith, and I wouldn't personally see any issues with its removal. Enjoy the rest of your day, Zero^talk 11:47, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

@Patient Zero: I'm the creator of that page, and by invoking WP:IAR I meant remove the tag despite that. But Appable has removed it (thanks Appable!). Unfortunately it's hard not to worry or feel bad about the A7 thing when there's ANI and topic ban threats hanging over me, and the fact I have written an essay has been used against me! In my experience "literals" such as myself are vastly outnumbered by "liberals". Strangely (not to mention sadly), following the advice given in a similar essay, WP:A7M has actually caused a lot of conflict between me and certain editors, as the claims listed there are claims that literals would consider significant, but liberals do not (I touch on these things in my essay). But that's just my experience. The point is that I've seen very liberal interpretations of A7, and very literal ones. Liberals are much more likely to "get away with" their interpretation than literals. Opinions are all over the place, but many act as if there is a WP:CONSENSUS on the subject (that is, a community-wide discussion where there's general agreement). At least, I haven't seen such a discussion (if there is one, it's buried deep within the archives somewhere. Not the sort of place where one is likely to look for information on widely accepted policy is it?). I'm not aware of anyone else who has received as much flak over A7 as I have, and I sometimes think I've been singled out. In fact, in my experience, you are much more likely to get away with doing blatantly invalid A7 taggings than doing even disputable A7 tag removals. I do think that certain misconceptions are now so widespread they are considered de facto correct. I'm gibbering, so I'll shut up now :). Adam9007 (talk) 03:40, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi!

Thanks for your note. The source for the quote is Lee Clark. I'm a journalist from the north east of England, but live in Scotland, and this is how Lee (who is a friend of mine) described Feruz.

Don't know if that's good enough to merit inclusion but I think the rest of the wiki makes it clear what sort of person Feruz is..!
