Page: Robo-advisor - Para added to maintain neutrality is removed

I added the below para to the Robo-advisor page to maintain neutrality as the page only talks about B2C Roboadvisors and not B2B. May I kindly know why the sentences talking about People like me and the examples of B2C Roboadvisors are removed?

" Apart from B2C, there exists large B2B players that provide Robo-advisory platforms to Banks, Wealth Managers, Insurance firms and other professional players in the industry. [1]They use sophisticated algorithms for goal based investing and efficient financial planning. Some firms capitalising on Machine Learning technology, provide more innovative building block complimenting the platform. Bambu a leading B2B Roboadvisor's "PeopleLikeMe" [2]solution provides financial guidance based on users' current age and situation is one such effective use of Machine Learning in financial planning.

Bambu, Prive Technologies, Quantifeed and Additiv are some of the key leading B2B players in the industry.[3] " — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rohiththatchan (talk • contribs) 03:56, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

The Gulag Archipelago

Hello. I received a message from you. I am new to W and am learning these processes. I can review, but I did not remove data, I added more, and more specific data that is clear and well established historical description, analysis and information. Apparently, there is someone who thinks that he individually and personally owns this page and all the content in it and has enthroned himself as the total arbiter and judge of any editing, inclusion or exclusion. Nothing that I put in is incorrect. He quickly became aggressive and threatening, making demands, and accused me of 'vandalism'. Anything done in good faith is not vandalism. Now he has secured a freezing or I guess restriction of the page which I just am astonished at. He has repeatedly removed any content I've put in. This is not my understanding of how W works. He is trying to control the information and narrative regarding the work this page discusses, 'The GULAG Archipelago'. I can discuss why I think that is occurring or what might be motivating such actions but will postpone at this point since this is the first time I am adding content to a page and am writing some kind of note like this. I have to say this is very upsetting. Not only to be targeted by someone, but also to have content that is clearly relevant and correct to be challenged, and quick, negatively, and aggressively. This is tyrannical on his/her part and he is trying to silence others and more specific content being shared. I am fearful of revealing anything about myself given the very real risk of on line retaliation and harassment, especially by such zealots with a need to control and enforce an agenda. I even hesitate to write this note. Is this a private and confidential note or will this be on a public web page somewhere? Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.226.106 (talk) 23:53, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi there! I hope you don't mind if I respond. I ran into your message here while patrolling recent changes, and I'd like to help you. Looking at the history of the The Gulag Archipelago, it looks like your recent edits (starting June 30) removed some content (see here) without explaining why in the edit summary. C.J. Griffin most likely reverted these changes because of this, and didn't understand the reason behind your changes and content removal. If you look at the history of the article on July 3, you and C.J. Griffin were reverting your changes onto the article back and fourth, back and fourth, over and over again.... this is known as edit warring and is not allowed on Wikipedia and will usually result in being blocked from editing because it is disruptive (a rule to gauge whether or not you're crossing into edit warring is the "three-revert rule"). In fact, both you and C.J. Griffin were violating this policy... it wasn't just you, but the both of you. Instead of doing this back and fourth edit warring on the page, you're both expected to resolve the dispute properly and discuss the issues and concerns on the article's talk page. I'm not going to block you for this (obviously), since time has passed since the violation of policy occurred and I believe that you are unaware that this policy exists. Just don't edit war like that on articles, as it solves nothing and only makes working things out between one another much harder. The reason that the administrator Peacemaker67 protected the article was to stop the edit warring and disruption that was going on. He did you and C.J. Griffin both a big favor by doing this instead of blocking you two for violating the edit warring policy. Nobody is trying to come after you or harass and look down upon you at all and it's perfectly normal to run make mistakes and break rules - it's how we learn and become more experienced here; you just need to become familiar with Wikipedia's policies and how to collaborate with others and work together when conflicts like this happen. Have you tried leaving a message on C.J. Griffin's user talk page and trying to work with him to resolve the issue? While the page is protected, this is a good opportunity to do this. If you have any questions, Jim1138 is a great editor and will surely be happy to help you here. I am also available and more than happy to help you as well. If you haven't done this already, you should go through and complete Wikipedia's new user tutorial. It provides users with many guides, walkthroughs, and shows you how to navigate through the site, locate Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, how to talk and communicate with others, and ask for help when you need it. I highly suggest that you give it a go, as it will benefit you significantly and help you a lot. Please do not hesitate to message me if you'd like more help from myself, or you're welcome to remain here and have Jim1138 help you as well. I hope my reply helped explain some things and pointed you in the right direction, I wish you a great day and happy editing :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:11, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for the information. I'll review the general material on W operations. Unfortunately, I find this very disheartening. And actually will probably pull out completely from engaging with W. You've heard of 'Holocaust denial' I assume. The same dynamic occurs regarding the Soviet GULAG. You are asking me to engage with an individual who came after me regarding completely legitimate content and actions on the page regarding AS's work. Content he didn't like. These individuals undermine the GULAG history, dilute it, raise subtle or even blatant questions about it, to undermine Solzhenitsyn, the GULAG history, Soviet history, and the historical works themselves. Many people look at W for first take on material, often young people, unfortunately. They will get a biased, filtered, compromised, and undermining impression. The worst is to perpetuate the notion that the work is 'folklore' and thus not true. This is the minimization, equivocation, diluting, dismissal and denial that evidences itself in discussions of the GULAG which would never be tolerated in discussing the Holocaust. Now you are telling me that I have to engage and convince and get approval from some unknown person regarding what is simply fact, but that he doesn't seem to care for or doesn't further his agenda. Thus, he gets to control the narrative, which is both an incomplete and false narrative, and which he/she apparently has been doing and attempting to do so now. Simply because he complained. It really is unbelievable. And you are going to let him/her prevail. That's a tragedy and a disgrace and dishonors every man, woman, and child who through state organized/ institutionalized and political terror and mass repression were falsely accused, exiled, imprisoned, tortured, enslaved, and died or were murdered in the camps of the GULAG. Really, I'm very upset about this. This is unbelievable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.226.106 (talk) 00:57, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

I just want the article encyclopedic and accurate. When someone removes sourced content on a potentially contentious article as you did, I suspect it is being cleaned of "undesirable" content. I simply undid your edit as you did not explain the content removal. I suspect C.J. Griffin does not have any agenda on the content. I definitely don't have an agenda on the article content. Please start a discussion on talk:The Gulag Archipelago. See help:talk pages and wp:talk page guidelines. State what you want changed and wp:cite wp:reliable sources supporting your changes. Please sign your edits with four tildes "~~~~" Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 01:09, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

I reverted the disruptive edits from what appears to be a WP:SPA because it seemed to constitute vandalism as there was no edit summary for any of the reverts, and sourced materials were being selectively removed with no explanation. If you browse my edits you will see I do this routinely as a rollbacker. It goes without saying that anonymous IPs and SPAs engage in vandalism and disruptive editing on a regular basis, and this appeared to be more of the same. As such, I do not see my own reverts as a violation of 3rr and explained this in my edit summaries with a link to the appropriate page on exemptions to this policy.--C.J.

Changes to Arnold Thackray

Jim: I have been asked to review the Wikipedia entry for Arnold Thackray for errors and omissions. I just stepped down after 9 years as President and CEO of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. I was a reviewer of the manuscript of Arnold's biography of Gordon Moore and have fairly extensive knowledge of his career, education, etc. This would be my first Wikipedia editing attempt. Since you are listed as the last editor and are a content monitor, I just wanted to check in with you first and see if you have any advice or guidance. Many of my colleagues are very experienced at this and have given me some pointers. Many thanks. -- John John C Hollar (talk) 18:15, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Changes to Jesse Lee Peterson

You rolled back my edits to Jesse Lee Peterson. The video showing the alleged statements made by the man, and shown on "The Huffington Post", has been removed from youtube after court action against "Raw Story". Since the statements are unsupported, they should be removed under WP:BLP and WP:V until someone can dig up said video in unedited form. As a POC, I also find the tone of this whole article problematic, so let's at least keep it factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:D1E0:84:17F:7313:E06E:D073 (talk) 18:49, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

You added a reference to "Alternet", which uses the same edited "Raw Story" video as a source. Again, the video in question is not in evidence. I guess it's your job to police the black man's thoughts. You and white people like you need to leave black folk in peace. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:D1E0:84:17F:7313:E06E:D073 (talk) 20:08, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Playing the "race card", huh? Peterson does seem quite the misogynist, doesn't he? The statements are still accessible on lots of websites. The other reporters saw the video and reported on it and they are RS. RawStory took it down because it was a copyright violation, not because Peterson didn't say it. Still there, still sourced. Content stays up. Even if they were gone, wp:KDL applies. Jim1138 (talk) 02:46, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Do you even read the articles you cite? You added another reference that references the same edited video as the only source. The edited video that is no longer in evidence. wp:KDL does not apply on WP:BLP. You are a racist with an agenda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LnZ3VpVeWh$Fs (talk • contribs) 23:05, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Such language. The ref I added is not for the video, it is for the reporters who saw and reported on the video. When someone sees an event and there is no video record of it, does that make it inadmissible? Nope. Where is the policy on KDL not being valid for BLPs? Jim1138 (talk) 07:42, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Abdulrahim Abby Farah

Hi Jim,

Thanks for messaging me re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdulrahim_Abby_Farah

The fact: "Farah was married, and he and his wife had five children.[4]" cited is misleading in that it was not accurate and also represents his life in the 1970s.

Mr Farah died recently and consequently, more comprehensive biographical information has been published:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/14/abdulrahim-abby-farah-obituary http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/nytimes/obituary.aspx?n=abdulrahim-farah&pid=189021514

" He is survived by his fourth wife, Hodan Goth, whom he married in 2001, by six children – Lulah, from his second marriage, Sandra, Hassan, Laila, Marian and Nadia from his marriage to Sheila – and by his sister, Miriam. Another of his children, Safia, died earlier this year."

From which we can infer that he had at least 7 children.

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,

Provide us real and authentic sorce where it is performed??? At the beginning of the 20th century, the Ghirths were the dominant low-caste cultivators and marginal landholders in the Himachal region.[2] Since they were considered as a 'clean' (not untouchable) low caste, they were employed as domestic servants by the higher castes: their 'clean' status allowed them to perform tasks such as fetching water or cleaning cooking utensils, which the untouchable servants were not allowed to do.[3] Nevertheless, the Rajputs, who were the dominant landholding caste of the region, had imposed social restrictons on them. Around 1926, the Ghirths started a movement to achieve upward social mobility, and started opposing these restrictions.[2] They refused menial work, creating difficulties for the higher castes that earlier employed them as servants.

Huggle message

Hello. I just want to let you know that in the coming version of Huggle (3.4.5), there will be a new feature of editing pages directly inside Huggle using an edit form. The edit form functions same as the web one. The default shortcut for this is E and the shortcut for "Edit page in browser" (which previously was E) has changed to Alt+E. If you want more non-automated edits or you prefer editing pages in the browser, you can swap the shortcuts of the above. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or Petrb.

Well i have a question!

Before attacking them, they insisted that they had the right to choose someone's birthplace over a non existing country and deleting the actual state that exists now, who gives the right to choose on how a country does not exist ? Is wikipedia an actual encyclopedia or just a massive propaganda fueled by slavo-serbo folk rage,and nationalism so they claim rights on everything they can touch? Do i have to give actual birth certificates of people to see that there is written "Kosovo" somewhere and not only YUGOSLAVIA ? Or is that out of question as being oppressed on albanians has been cool before it was cool,and always stealing rights to express the actual facts and reverting them biased ! I attacked because there should on every albanian-kosovar birth places "Kosovo.Then yougoslavia" Doesn't matter if its defacto-dejuro a state or not, its a place that most of the world knows it exists, make it happen or just semi lock the threads for no further edits to be made.

The citations give a one sided view of the historical events on the poet. Since these are politically sensitive issues, Wikipedia needs to be careful about the sources used/citations used and refences used to write on poets. Let us not forget that while poets essayists and administrators are to be studied, obsessed over in all manners possible. We should not in any manner hurt sentiments of the individuals concerned, especially by posting/manipulating references to twist/distort or contort content to present an individual in bad light.

If references and citations are what is needed, I shall add them. Let me know if that is your primary concern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.207.75.133 (talk) 06:45, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jim. African Americans fit the qualifications the UN designated as stateless nation. You do not need a direct source for them to fit it

Hello Jim,

I have noticed that yourself and Doug Weller have deleted African Americans from the qualifications for 'stateless nation'. The following definition of qualifications is listed just before the list:

The following is a list of stateless nations that meet these criteria:

has no sovereign state of its own.[30] - african Americans are neither a majority nor control any American state.

does not form a majority in any sovereign state.[31] - See above

one or more autonomist or secessionist movements are known to exist.[32] - Over history, the BPP, the ACP, the BLP, not to mention many failed slave insurrections

not recognized by any UN members as a state (see also: partially recognized state).[33]- African Americans are not

not a subgroup of a nation (Bengali Hindus, Mexican American).- African Americans are not a 'subgroup' in that there is no singular "Country of Africa" from which we came from. AA culture is derived from millions of people brought from hundreds of cultures all over Africa, then adapted by force to the whim of Anglo American labor needs. We are not a subgroup in that we've been in America as long as Western Europeans have. There is no "African America" in Africa which matches uniform African American cultural elements. These were blended and developed here. African American Vernacular English. The origins of Blues, Jazz, Rock and Roll, Disco, Funk, Rap....all specifically African American culturally *until appropriation*

Doug Weller and yourself continue to erase African Americans as a people from the page as if we are a sub culture to what... white Americans (no scholar would buy that)? Southern whites (even Southern Whites...especially southern whites...would laugh at that assumption).

Even genetically, African Americans have common specific blend of black, white and native that is not commonly found among other groups.

The UN designation and recognition is not required to fit the UN definition. I have to ask why you keep arguing that we as a people do not exist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:9680:D3E:1D95:DF58:2A08:2FC6 (talk) 06:55, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

SeaRates.com ports listing

Hi Jim,

How should the relevant information about statistics, routes, services, coverage and rates can be found at specialized portals for container shipping be added to the article? Right now the domain have been noticed as blacklisted, which is most probably by mistake, as me and my colleagues from logistics speciality are using the resource as one of the oldest and most reliable ones. I will try to request whitelisting of it.

Stefrogovskiy (talk) 09:56, 17 July 2018 (UTC) Stefan

@Stefrogovskiy: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a listing service. See wp:NOTDIRECTORY. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:59, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

@Jim1138: Agree with you, noted, but there should be a way to mention an authoritative resource in encyclopedia with a right reference to valid ports information, available for readers, isn't it? Like movies refer to IMDB.

@Stefrogovskiy: The question is "which one?" Googling "Container shipping rates" returns quite a few hits. List them all and the article might become unnavigable. Limit to one, the others would probably complain. That might happen with the likes of Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, AllMovie, etc., if there become too many. If you wish, broach the topic on wp:Village pump. You should check the archives first. It's likely been discussed before. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:55, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Your additions were removed not because they were wp:spam, but they were not sourced. Per Wikipedia's policy of wp:verifiability, all significant content needs to wp:cite a wp:reliable source. This is especially important for wp:biographies of living persons (BLPs) such as Jen Miller. Use of one's own knowledge is wp:original research, is not verifiable and therefore not acceptable. Also, please understand you are simply an IP address and wp:Wikipedia is anonymous. So, I don't know who you are and if you are friend or foe of Miller. So, find a source or leave it off. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 08:35, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Jakub Smrž

If you check the official EWC website, it states he is a member of the team there. There is no consistency in citations for motorcycle riders teams, so if you are going to remove that one, you may as well remove every one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.93.132 (talk) 10:54, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Smrz is a serial-crasher towards the end of his undistinguished career, just making up the numbers in mediocre teams with little press coverage, who will never be any good due to inconsistency and should stop riding. Leaving aside my opinion, here is his quote (reproduced in Facebook, 5 July) regarding the latest (ongoing) injury situation that stops him from riding, including for the UK team but particularly for a European Endurance Team:

Here's the update from Kuba, Get well soon from all at PR Racing. Kuba Smrž: "Today I was on X-ray control by surgeon MUDr. Toufar and everything is OK. Now I'll have small rehabilitation and after four weeks I can move more. And if everything will be good, in eight weeks the metal will go out and I can do full rehabilitation."

This IP is a menace (having a history of surveilling racers' social media, then transposing media-unreported changes in real-time) with edits of a few bytes only into the lede of many articles causing regular editors much down-time picking up the pieces. Looks like I'll have to do it......(update the Smrz article).--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 19:17, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

@Rocknrollmancer: None of the anon's edits cite any source as far as I can see. I undid a number of the anon's unsourced edits. Most of those BLP racing articles need more citations as well. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 21:32, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

The IP's actions have been many small unsourced changes to a large number of articles - some more obscure than others - for a number of years now - but I do pick up on a few on Watchlist. It is becoming more difficult for us, however, with (primary source) teams choosing Facebook presences in preference to paid-for domain names, and media choosing to share and/or re-tweet from those sources, the equivalent of press-releases, whereas, as publishers, they are surmised to be vetting the sources. Muchas.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 14:44, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Luca Scassa

As stated above in the Jakub Smrz section, all information is taken from the official EWC website. Which clearly states that Luca Scassa drives for the No Limits Motor Team, again if you are going to remove this, you may as well remove every single motorcycle racer team information as very few have citations.

Best for Britain

Hi there

Some changes have been made to the Best for Britain page to correct several inaccuracies that were there. - it stated `Gina Miller is a director of Best for Britain' - she never has been a director of the campaign or company behind it. Gina joined Best for Britain as a spokesperson for the duration of the tactical vote campaign during the 2017 election, leaving afterwards to focus on other projects. Best for Britain was founded as a company in late 2016 (the company name is UK-EU Open Policy Ltd) by several people listed at Companies House, Gina was not therefore one of the founders of what become the Best for Britain campaign. This was an inaccuracy that has now been rectified. Given how many inaccuracies there are in the press about Gina Miller and Best for Britain, it's vital for historical accuracy the roles are set out correctly on wikipedia.

This also relates to the changes in the box on 'founders' and 'key people'.

Please be specific about the inaccuracies you think the original text reflected, as the text I proposed is in fact accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.244.237.110 (talk) 10:57, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

You reverted my changes.

I changed the result because neutral sources claim that. Most of the Indo-Pakistan conflicts on wikipedia are heavily biased because they most of them use Indian government sources as references.

MOS:INITIALS and MOS:NICKNAMES

You seem to be confusing these sections, applying the style of the latter to the former. Foo "Bar" Baz style is only used for nicknames and other pseudonyms, not initials. If you think reader confusion could somehow result, you could use the standardized approach taken at CC Sabathia and CCH Pounder. Even this is probably overkill; it's extremely unlikely that any reader is not going to understand in absence of these "known commonly as" or "known professionally as" comments.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  06:00, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Edit to page: Taylor York

Hi Jim1138, you didn't leave a message for me, but I saw you left it for the unregistered editor. I would like to say that person made 3 changes, all of which were false as the date they were claiming something happened, said subject was not in that city/state on that date, and they were very untrue facts about his life. If there's a way to stop this from happening again that would be great. Asluckyasus (talk) 09:00, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

@Asluckyasus: Unfortunately, many wp:BLPs get vandalized. About all one can do is put them on their watch list. If the vandalizing gets 'excessive', one can request page protection. WP:RfPP.

About my edit to Pig Destroyer

I see that you reverted my edit to the page, I think it's my fault for not leaving a summary, I need to keep that in my mind when it comes to adding or removing content. But, why I removed some content was that the reference wasn't with the right information in the lead part, the reference article didn't explain why Evans was replaced, it was a reference already added about Blake Harrison's inclusion in the biography section, on top of that another site was typed into the URL making the link invalid. It was recently added too when some lead was added by another user, and I'd thought to remove the incorrect reference and expand upon the lead, and also give more information to how the band started along in their biography with some more recent info. In my edit, I still left the original reference in to Blake Harrison's inclusion and fixed its URL to lead to the correct article, I just moved that piece of information in the biography to make it more chronologically organized. I would appreciate if my edit could be put back into place. Mrcoolj90 (talk) 15:32, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

@Mrcoolj90: My apology. If you want to get a reminder on edit summaries, you can set it in Preferences/Editing Editor/Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. It can be really annoying ;oP, but it is greatly appreciated by us wp:RCPers. If the ES gets too long, one can always add a brief ES with "see talk" and add a new section there.

indrajita

Hello, you undid my correction of the misspelling of the word indrajita. the way it works is that sanskritham (the language in which the word indrajita comes from) does not end w/ consonants. however,derived languages like Hindi,bengali,punjabi, etc. do.

so the actual name should be indrajita. if you search for indrajita, you will also get plenty of results. unfortunately as a majority of english newspapers are based out of regions where derived languages are spoken, it may actually get more search results but it doesn't reflect the actual name nor the prevalence of the name. not to mention that this is a sanskritham name & a sanskritham character & not one restricted or originating from derived languages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.44.177.134 (talk) 16:15, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes...in Hindi. which is what i've been specifically saying. In Sanskrit derived languages, the word is Indrajit, like Rama is turned into Ram or Lakshmana is turned into Lakshman and so on, but not in the original Sanskrit language. If you read the script, the last letter is त. put that into Google translate & let me know what sound you hear. The page is full of spelling mistakes, if i don't change it, then who will? Not only of Indrajeeta but also for Laskhmana's name & plenty of asthra names are improperly spelled.
