Speedy Deletion concern Najmuddine Bammate

I specifically asked to ask whether you have any questions before putting removal tags. I have a direct permission to post that article from the author.

Bravo! Good notable job! The aim is deletion itself

Fiona Bevan BLP issue

Regarding the BLP tag you placed on the Fiona Bevan article - It would help if you would either go through the article and add citation needed tags to any unreferenced points that you would consider to be contentious BLP issues or else post a fuller explanation of your issues with the page on the talkpage.
I've left the BLP tag on for now, as well as the peacock tag (about which I agree with you) but I've removed the Refimprove tag as I feel it just duplicates the point you are making about BLP sources. 62.190.148.115 (talk) 09:18, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to decide what to do with that mess. The current editor appears to be a director of the company, and I'm wondering if this is just the marketing side of David Nutt's Alcosynth. That might explain why the inventor is simply listed as Arkay Beverage's president's husband. Meters (talk) 18:23, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]


@Zackmann08: Hi, I am Reynald Vito Grattagliano I am 60 years old, I am a simple chemist, back in 2007 I created-invented the WARM molecule that duplicate the taste and the kick of the alcohol, I added some whisky aromas and ARKAY was born. The story is real, I am originally from France, I have been for years in the liquor industry, one night my son told me that it would be great to create a soft drink with the taste and kick of the alcohol, this would be a good solution for Designated Drivers and for people that want to be away from liquors. I started my work in 2007 and finally in 2011 I got the product on the market. I met Sylvie in 2010 and she became my wife in 2011. What I am trying to explain objectively on the Wikipedia site is that we are genuine people , with a real product, we are telling a real story, however we are a little bit surprise that other people in Europe have invented a new molecule called Alcosynth that does not even exist, while Arkay exist and is available on the market since 2011. The truth is that the concept of ALCOHOL FREE LIQUORS was created by myself in 2007 and by no one else , the proof is that ARKAY does exist and real, while Alcosynth molecule back in the UK is only at an experimental stage and will not be available until 2050, I really wonder if this is a for real ! In fact I am as much confused as you are because David Nutt is making beleive the world that the concept is his while in fact it is mine. I am open to the discussion with you, I just want the world to know what is my work about and that if I can help peoples to get away from liquors thanks to my invention WARM and to my product Arkay I will be an happy camper. To comply with your guidelines that I do respect tthe Alcosynth portion has been deleted on Wikipedia ArkayBeverages.com . At last please do not confuse with David Nutt , he is not part of Arkay Beverages team. Best regards, Reynald201.140.104.199 (talk) 13:32, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain problem with Susan Shapiro photo

Please explain the problem with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Author_Susan_Shapiro.jpg . It is my photo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaco (talkcontribs) 18:38, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Chriswaco: there was no need to post twice.... The photo was deleted from commons for not having a proper license. You then added the same exact image here. It also appears on multiple other websites. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:49, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I added the CC4 license. Is that not enough? I've provided the photo to a few web sites for articles on Susan in the past but the rights don't belong to them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswaco (talkcontribs) 20:58, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion for Arena.com

@Zackmann08: Thanks for fixing the thumbnail in the infobox of the article. I've left comments regarding notability of the article and contestation of speedy deletion on the talk page at Arena.com Nfdgoisn (talk) 17:31, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nfdgoisn: my pleasure. I simply do not agree that the site is notable enough for a Wikipedia page. An admin will make the final decision. Happy editing! --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:35, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Want to help test advanced new tools planned for Recent Changes?

Hi Zackmann08! I’m reaching out to you because our logs tell us you’re an active Twinkle new user welcomer. The WMF Collaboration team is working on new tools that we hope will be useful to people engaged in reviewing recent changes, fighting vandalism or supporting new users. We want to test them for usability with editors who are experienced with relevant wiki work. If you’re interested in helping to shape this new technology—we’d like to hear from you.

The testing should take about an hour, will be conducted online, and will take place during the next few weeks. To participate, please email dchen[at]wikimedia.org with the subject line Twinkle Welcomer. Include the following information:

  • Username
  • Email where we can reach you
  • Your city or time zone
  • Best time to talk to you
  • Your primary use(s) of Twinkle or Recent Changes (e.g., reviewing recent changes, reviewing with a particular focus (specify), anti-vandalism, new-page review, welcoming new users, etc.)

Thanks! Dchen (WMF) (talk) 22:39, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Over-zealous deletion requests

You appear to be nominating articles for speedy deletion, when they do not meet our criteria for such; and when the meet our notability requirements.

Elnaz Golrokh, for instance, cites coverage in two national newspapers, and more. One of the newspaper links was malformed, but you did not correct this, suggesting you had not reviewed the source before making the nomination. You also tagged the article for CoI, but made no comment on the talk page to evidence this.

You tagged Eric Smith (Army officer) as "does not cite any sources". In fact the article had three: all not merely reliable, but reputable. One was The London Gazette, "one of the official journals of record of the British government". You even removed another of them, Herald Scotland, as "invalid"!

You tagged Eric Arthur Tomlinson as "does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject", despite the citations including an obituary in a significant national newspaper.

Edits like these are harmful to the project; not least because they discourage new editors. WP:BITE refers. Please take more time and be more considered; and if you cannot, then find something more constructive to do. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:42, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Pigsonthewing: I disagree with your analysis but appreciate your comments. Will take them under advisement. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:47, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Zackmann08, I see you have tagged the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors article for speedy deletion, but cannot see why you think there is a "clear copyright infringement". It is not remotely similar to the linkedin page you offer as the supposed source. Please explain.--DavidCane (talk) 18:34, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@DavidCane: the Earwig's Copyvio Detector report that I ran at the time of tagging showed a 55.6% match and in-fact when I just ran the comparison tool again and explicitly told it to compare to that url, I got the same. The following text is 100% taken from the LinkedIn page:
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is a professional body that accredits professionals within the land, property and construction sectors worldwide.
The RICS headquarters is in London with its main support functions in Coventry. There are regional offices in the United Kingdom, across mainland Europe, in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, North America and Brazil.
In 2015, there were RICS-qualified professionals in more than 140 countries. The total number of those accredited worldwide was 120,000, plus student membership of 81,000. The majority of accredited individuals or members are still based in the United Kingdom with large numbers also in mainland Europe, Australia and Hong Kong. There is now a strong growth globally, and particularly in China, India and the Americas.
Hope that answers your question. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:46, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are relying on Earwigs tool too much. See my reply here.--DavidCane (talk) 20:28, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of coffee for you!
