This is a Wikipedia user talk page.
This is not an encyclopedia article or the talk page for an encyclopedia article. If you find this page on any site other than Wikipedia, you are viewing a mirror site.

Please read before posting

Post all new sections under a new header at the bottom of this page, not at random. If you make it clear you ignored these instructions by placing it elsewhere, I am likely to ignore your request in turn.

If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond (a ping will also suffice), it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
If you are an admin here to ask me about someone I blocked for vandalism or spamming/advertising, they've agreed to stop it, and you believe they intend to edit productively, go ahead and unblock them. If you still want my opinion please feel free to ask, but there's no obligation. For more complex cases I would appreciate a heads-up, but please go ahead with your best judgment if I don't seem to be online. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know after you do.
If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing, though I still may respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Also, if you are contacting me for a matter related to the Arbitration Committee, please specifically indicate this in your email. All correspondence of this nature will be treated as confidential, though I am likely to forward it to the Committee as a whole, or any appropriate subcommittee, for consideration.
If you are here to ask a question regarding deletion of any kind, please read this before asking, and ask only if you need further clarification or still disagree after reading. If you ask a question answered there, I'll just refer you to it anyway.
While I will generally leave any personal attacks or uncivil comments you may make about me here, that does not mean that I find them acceptable, nor that I will not seek action against attacks that are severe or persistent.
I reserve the right to remove, revert, or immediately archive any material on this page, but will do so only in extreme circumstances, generally that of personal attacks or outing attempts against others. I will only revision delete material on this page in accordance with the revision deletion policy, and will clearly denote the reason why.

Deletion of Raymond Neutra page

Happy Sunday. I understand your reasoning for page deletion was that the tone was promotional, and I agree that the content could have been edited to adopt a more neutral/encyclopedic tone; However, I feel that the subject warrants a page. So, I'm requesting that you userficate (if I can be so bold as to use that as a verb) the page so I can address your feedback and rework the article. Or, would you recommend I recreate the page under the Articles for Creation section?

To generally respond to the page deletion, my understanding of the wording from User:Seraphimblade/Deletion FAQ: "If an article even asserts something that might make the subject notable, it is not eligible for speedy deletion," [1] is that this article would not have been eligible for speedy deletion, as I sourced the assertion that the individual is notable because he is the son of a famous architect, whose work continued his father's legacy. So, based on that, I don't believe the page should have been speedily deleted. Secondly, I responded to your initial marking of the page for speedy deletion, and I do not see any response there.

In the end, I'm very happy and willing to work with you to edit the article to meet your expectations. Looking forward to hearing back from you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsbmhca 717 (talk • contribs) 20:17, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, one more thing. Wording from the Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion page about G11 speedy deletion: "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional...If a subject is notable and the content could plausibly be replaced with text written from a neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion." [2] Because the subject and his work is notable, and related to notable work already described in ]]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Neutra%7Canother Wikipedia article]], I'd like your help to rewrite the text with a more neutral point of view. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsbmhca 717 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jsbmcha 717: Before we proceed, please clarify if you are being paid or compensated to edit Wikipedia, including if you are asked or expected to do so as a duty of employment. If any of those are true, you will need to make the required disclosures before we proceed any further. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 20:35, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Seraphimblade: Yes, I am being paid to create the article and edit the content. My employer/client is the subject of the intended article, and I am operating as a freelance contractor. Thank you for pointing me to the disclosure requirement; this is my first paid work in Wikipedia and I was not previously aware of it. I will be sure to comply fully with future posts. As I understand the article, that will consist of placing the connected contributor paid template at the top of the talk page associated to the articles I create. If there is something additional I should do, please instruct me further. Thanks for the help. Jsbmhca 717 (talk) 02:09, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jsbmhca 717: Thanks for that. Yes, disclosure on the talk page as you state would be one way of fulfilling that requirement, so that will work fine. As far as the article itself, it was essentially a CV rather than an encyclopedia article. We would be looking for more of a biography on them, rather than a list of their accomplishments and publications. The main thing is to use reliable and independent sources, and to stick primarily to the facts those references show to be important. Also, you should review the guidelines on editing with a conflict of interest. Generally speaking, that means that the editor with a conflict shouldn't directly be creating or editing articles in mainspace, but should instead suggest edits for editors without a conflict to review. In the case of creating an article, this would be done by creating a draft, such as at Draft:Raymond Neutra (you can just click that link to create it), and then putting the article in for review by articles for creation. That's to a new editor's advantage anyway; creating an acceptable new article straight into mainspace is one of the more difficult things to do, and the draft process will give you a chance to get feedback and work on it if it's not accepted the first time around whereas in mainspace it might simply be deleted. However, do keep in mind that ultimately, the individual's notability will have to be demonstrated in their own right, via solid coverage by reliable sources, and can't be inherited just by a relationship to some other notable topic or person. Being the child of someone notable, even if you do similar things, doesn't make one notable oneself. The availability of solid reference material determines whether we can sustain an article on a subject. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 07:01, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Seraphimblade: Thank you for the help! I submitted the draft page to the Articles for Creation list. Any additional feedback would be greatly appreciated.Jsbmhca 717 (talk) 19:45, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Teradata article

Hello again, Seraphimblade. I just wanted to make sure you saw my reply here. If you think it would be most helpful and well-received, I can put together a trimmed-down version of the history information. Do you have any other ideas for how to move forward, or thoughts on the other edit requests on the article's talk page? Thanks again.

Creation of Calderwood Christian School

Hi, I'm hoping to create a distinct page for Calderwood Christian School, however, it is currently blocked for creation by administrators only. I've created the page in my sandbox if you would like to check it out and instruct on any changes. I was hoping to move the article out of my sandbox. Can you please advise what to do next? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfc33 dw (talk • contribs) 00:23, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jfc33 dw: You must seriously think I'm stupid. Not but a few hours after I gave a final warning to your AllyCook account for spamming there, you're creating the same article on a different account. The final warning applied to all accounts, and switching to a different one (or asking someone else to do the same thing) is an attempt to evade scrutiny. If you're going to be dishonest with me, I'm inclined to just block both accounts as dead obvious sock puppets. Try again. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 00:44, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't think you're stupid. Ally works for Illawarra Christian Education which is the parent organisation. I work for Calderwood Christian School but am not getting paid to write this article. Originally, I read her article and it seemed promotional so I re-wrote it after looking at other educational articles. I believe this article is worthy to be on Wikipedia as there is a lot of history to this school especially in the area that it currently is and it has separated as an individual school from Illawarra Christian School. Please advise on the next course of action or if you would like proof that this isn't the same person as AllyCook. Did you read the sandbox article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfc33 dw (talk • contribs) 01:01, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jfc33 dw: Okay then. Submit the draft article through the articles for creation process. If AfC approves the article, I'll remove the protection to move it to mainspace. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 01:03, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. I've submitted the draft article for creation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Calderwood_Christian_School — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfc33 dw (talk • contribs) 01:22, 5 March 2018 (UTC) Can I re-edit the Illawarra Christian School page as the information is out-of-date and the organisational structure (principal's) is incorrect? I would like to update the information on there so that it is accurate and in the last 10 years reflect the changes from campuses to schools. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfc33 dw (talk • contribs) 00:18, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jfc33 dw: Same idea there. Since you have a conflict of interest, you should propose edits on the article's talk page. Once you've got the proposed edits written, place {{request edit}} on the page (without the "tl|" part if you're reading the page source here), and someone without such a conflict will evaluate it and make the edit if it's appropriate. Remember to cite reliable sources for the additions or changes you're proposing. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 04:30, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – March 2018

News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2018).

Administrator changes

† Lourdes has requested that her admin rights be temporarily removed, pending her return from travel.

Guideline and policy news

The autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) is scheduled to end on 14 March 2018. The results of the research collected can be read on Meta Wiki.
Community ban discussions must now stay open for at least 24 hours prior to being closed.
A change to the administrator inactivity policy has been proposed. Under the proposal, if an administrator has not used their admin tools for a period of five years and is subsequently desysopped for inactivity, the administrator would have to file a new RfA in order to regain the tools.
A change to the banning policy has been proposed which would specify conditions under which a repeat sockmaster may be considered de facto banned, reducing the need to start a community ban discussion for these users.

Technical news

CheckUsers are now able to view private data such as IP addresses from the edit filter log, e.g. when the filter prevents a user from creating an account. Previously, this information was unavailable to CheckUsers because access to it could not be logged.
The edit filter has a new feature contains_all that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.

Miscellaneous

MitoQ article

Hi there. You recently deleted a page "MitoQ" for being advertorial in nature. We think that this is mostly untrue but are very willing to work within the rules and get the page back up and running with encyclopedic content only. The article was not meant to be advertising in any way. MitoQ is a well researched molecule (over 250 peer reviewed articles to date) and all of these studies are independent. We want to make sure that researchers have easy access to basic MitoQ information and are willing to work with you (if you are willing) to make sure the content is not promotional. There are many other pages for bioactive molecules/supplements/drugs which contain similar content. We have a draft of what we would like to put back up and happy to run it past you before starting if you are willing to help? Much appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willstow (talk • contribs) 01:26, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Willstow: Who is "we"? That makes it seem like you're employed, paid, or compensated to edit on that subject. If that's true, including if you edit as a duty of employment, you'd need to make the required disclosures before we proceed. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 04:27, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Salad and Go article

Hello. I went to go update my Salad and Go article and found that it was deleted (per G11). It was my first attempt at writing a full article for Wikipedia, so I'd like the opportunity to fix it with input from an editor. Would it be possible to have that content restored somewhere so I don't have to start from scratch? And as I've seen others do before - I can confirm I'm not attached to Salad and Go in anyway, nor am I being paid. mklowcall
