User talk:Drm310

Volunteer program

Hello! This is a wikimedia account run by volunteers for Red Hen Press. I'm unsure how to address this concern, as 1. this is the first I've heard of it (sorry about that!), and 2. This is a volunteer-based situation. My intention is to fill in missing factual information about authors, as seems necessary. How do you recommend I address this? There is no user page for this account yet. Thank you for your help! Rhpwikichicken (talk) 19:54, 30 July 2019 (UTC)Rhpwikichicken, 7.30.19

@Rhpwikichicken: How many volunteers have had access to this account since it was created? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:56, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

I can't be certain because it has been inactive for a few years, but I'd guess 1 or 2 before me. Rhpwikichicken (talk) 20:01, 30 July 2019 (UTC)Rhpwikichicken, 7.30.19

@Rhpwikichicken: I'm afraid to inform you that sharing an account was always a violation of Wikipedia's username policy. It was wrong of your predecessor(s) to have ever passed access to this account on to others. Only one person - the same person - may use an account for its entire lifetime. Everyone who edits Wikipedia must operate their own individual account.

I have no choice but to report this to administrators; your account may be blocked from editing as a result. If it does, create a new account that only you have access to. If the administrator simply instructs you to change your password, then do so.

Regardless of the outcome, please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's rules about conflict of interest before making any more edits:

• Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations
• Wikipedia:Conflict of interest
• Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide

We highly discourage editors with a conflict of interest from directly editing topics relating to their organizations. It is better that you request edits on the article talk pages instead. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:14, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Help me! about Bismillah Group pages

Hello, I'm En HaRry @Drm310: Drm310 Dear Sir, Please note that the above information’s are used from the company website Bismillah Group, Bismillah Towels Group LTD. and I’m the authorized person on behalf of the company to edit any update relating to the company Bismillah Group , Bismillah Towels Group LTD.
For avoiding direct infringement, I would like to use the information’s providing the relevant links in the footnote. Please let me know whether it would be fine or not.

Thanks and Regards En HaRry 13:20, 5 August, 2019. (GMT+6)

@HaRry2MaC: If you are working on behalf of the company to edit the article(s) about them in Wikipedia, there are a number of things you need to know.

1. If they are paying you for your work, either directly or an agency that employs you, then you must follow Wikipedia's mandatory and non-negotiable paid editing disclosure policy. You must state what articles you are being paid to edit, and who it paying you.
2. Because you are representing the company's interests, you have a conflict of interest (COI). While COI editing is not prohibited, it is highly discouraged because of the inherent difficulty you will have adhering to the required neutral point of view.
3. The company has no right of ownership or editorial control over the article(s) about it. Wikipedia has little interest in what a company wants to say about itself, and no interest whatsoever in how it wants to be portrayed. Disagreements over content should be discussed on the article talk page.
4. The text you posted was copied directly from the company website. You cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia, even if you are the copyright holder or have the copyright holder's permission. In short, a copyright owner cannot offer Wikipedia a one-time license for use. Rather, the copyright to the material has to be released – permanently and irrevocably – into the public domain or under a free copyright license that is compatible with Wikipedia's licenses. This is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, so all content must be licensed for that purpose. You can learn more about this policy at Wikipedia:Copyrights.
5. Article content must be cited to sources that are both reliable and independent of the article subject. This means Wikipedia heavily favours mainstream academic and journalistic sources. Primary sources like a company website can verify basic facts and figures, but not interpretations of those facts. Company-authored materials like press releases, social media posts and other self-published sources will not be accepted as sources.
6. After making the appropriate disclosures of your relationship to this company, you should not edit the articles directly. Rather, you should suggest changes on the article talk page with the {{request edit}} template. This will get the attention of other uninvolved editors to review your changes and offer revisions.

Thank you!

Hello, Drm310,

I keep going to editor's talk pages to post a note about creating autobiographies only to find you've already done it! Thank you for your work communicating with new editors and letting them know about Wikipedia's standards of notability. It's appreciated. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:56, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

You're welcome, Liz! I do what I can. :-) I appreciate the acknowledgement. Cheers! --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 02:09, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Please verify my page "Visual-CFD"

Hello, Drm310,

Thank you for spending time to review my page. I have been editing the page since long time and have reduced its content by 90%. Please review it and publish my page, also suggest if still need changes. If required please message me on "srp.patil@hotmail.com".

Regards,

Srp1220

@Srp1220: I will not discuss the article in private over email. Whatever you need can be discussed publicly on talk pages.

You've already received replies to your posting on the Teahouse, so there's not much more I can add. All the references you provided are for the software developer or its community of users. This isn't good enough. You need to show that this product has received significant coverage from multiple reliable sources that are independent of the software developer.

You identified that you are an employee of the software developer, so that makes you must follow Wikipedia's mandatory and non-negotiable paid editing disclosure policy. Do not make any further edits until you have made the required disclosures. Also review Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines, as they very much apply to you. Wikipedia is not a space to advertise or promote... we have no interest in what your company wants to say about your product(s). --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:26, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Re: Editing done in the page Internet Of Things

Hi, I have edited the page Internet of Things again with citations, do check and let me know it it is reliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahendrasalvi (talk • contribs) 07:28, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

@Mahendrasalvi: No, I am sorry but blogs are by definition self-published sources and therefore unreliable. Another editor has already reverted your additions.

Reliable sources are defined as sources that have an established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight. This heavily favours mainstream news, peer-reviewed academic and respected trade publications. Blogs, social media and other self-published sources will not be considered reliable. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 07:59, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Quick question about talk page notices

Howdy! I've noticed you placing warnings on talk pages to the effect of "Your user page doesn't meet guidelines, here's the list of things a user page shouldn't be" and "this is your talk page, not a place to draft, etc." I was wondering if those are templated warnings, and if so, what the templates are - I've looked for templates for those notices but haven't found any. Cheers! ^creffpublic _{a creffett franchise} (talk to the boss) 16:50, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Creffpublic. I haven't had the motivation to learn how to make templates out of them, so for now I just keep them stashed away in subpages:

• User:Drm310/Userpage
• User:Drm310/Notyou

They were based on messages I'd seen used by Anna Frodesiak and JohnCD (RIP). Naturally, you're welcome to copy and adapt them if you like! --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:56, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks! I've thrown one together at {{Uw-usertalk}}, since that one in particular is one I feel like I could use a lot. creffett (talk) 00:53, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Oh, nice! I forgot about that one. My original is at User:Drm310/Usertalk but you might have found it already. :-) --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:09, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Re: Notice of discretionary sanctions regarding blockchain and cryptocurrencies

Hi, Thank you for reviewing this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Opportunities_in_Blockchain_Research Will you be able to explain in simple words what is needed to remove the sanctions? Violeta At TheBlockchainHub (talk) 02:23, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

@Violeta At TheBlockchainHub: I think you have misunderstood the notice I left on your talk page. You have not done anything wrong, and there are no sanctions being applied to your particular draft article.

The notice I left was preemptory general information. It is to inform you that as of 2018, the Wikipedia editing community had to implement special measures regarding all blockchain and cryptocurrency topics. This was done in response to a rash of blatant promotional contributions, claims of ownership over article content, use of unreliable "trade press" sources, and conflicts of interest.

It is now our practice to inform editors about the existence of these measures whenever we notice they write about these topics. It is hoped that by doing so, we educate editors and prevent the types of problems that had been seen from reoccurring.

Your draft article has not been submitted for review. When you have finished editing it and feel ready to submit it for review, you can do so using the Submit button near the top of the draft article. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:54, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

OeKB CSD

Dear Drm310, you marked my article with disclosure of employment. May I draw your attention to the following articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearstream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euroclear

Clearstream is the German and Luxembourg CSD, Euroclear is the Belgian CSD and OeKB CSD is the Austrian CSD. The Central Securities Depository Regulation (reference 1 in my article) says that every CSD in a country has to apply for a certification. After the approvement of each Authority (in Austria it is the Financial Market Authority (FMA)), the company can act as the CSD of the country. The scope of OeKB CSD in my article is similar to the scope of Clearstram and Euroclear. Are this articles marked with disclosure? Therefore, this is no advertisement, the article describes only the tasks of the Austrian CSD, not more and not less. So please have a look at it again - if you want to change something, I am open for any discussion, but please do not mark it for disclosure.

Thx a lot! Kind regards, Jelena — Preceding unsigned comment added by JelenaIlicVienna (talk • contribs) 09:26, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

FWIW, I've posted guidance on her talk page Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:27, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

@JelenaIlicVienna: Wikipedia's paid editing disclosure policy took effect in June 2014. As of then, any contributor who is creating or editing articles in exchange for compensation must disclose this information. Since you appear to be associated with this organization, compliance with this policy is mandatory if you intend to write about it.

Jimfbleak has given you plenty of good advice on your talk page, so I won't repeat it here. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:36, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello & let's collaborate!

Hello Drm, Thanks for you advice concerning my edits, have been rolled back as you can see. You suggested me to read about conflicts terms, which I have already (it's written on my page etc.). It is something I do as an update (if you read the old version, it used to stop at 2016, and even before, on many aspects and was much more promotional for no reason). You are right in that I didn't know about such rules. If i got it right I need to ask someone from the list you sent me to make a draft of my version, for you can't, right? I would be glad to work this page along with you and explain the changes if need be. My objective is clearly to update this page in an objective way, I won't sell here. Thanks! --Bricegrenon (talk) 19:11, 11 September 2019 (UTC)do not hesitate to reach me

@Bricegrenon: Our usual advice is to leave a message with your suggested revisions on the article talk page (Talk:AT Internet) using the {{request edit}} template. The template will make an entry in a queue of requested edits for uninvolved editors to review and comment on. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:39, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

@Bricegrenon: I would also suggest you do the same on French Wikipedia, as I see that you've contributed to fr:AT Internet. Unfortunately there is no equivalent to the request edit template on English Wikipedia. I looked for something like fr:Modèle:Demande de modification but it doesn't exist. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:47, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

@Drm310: As you can see on the talk page, previous messages have been posted without any follow. I will sure follow the best process and discuss of possible improvements. Do I need to ask an admin for the french one then? Are you out to work on it or not? I definitely need a helping hand. Cheers! --Bricegrenon (talk) 23:29, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

@Bricegrenon: I can ask one or two users that I've talked with on fr-wiki to see if there's a similar way to solicit third-party reviews of suggested content. It's unfortunate that the previous talk page entries went unnoticed or unreplied. French isn't my first language, but I think I can get by with my intermediate knowledge plus a bit of help from Google Translate! --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:17, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

@Drm310: Sure it would be very useful! Either french or english, at least i will be sure to have an objective basis. --Bricegrenon (talk) 21:41, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019

Hello Drm310,

Backlog

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Coordinator

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

This month's refresher course

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

Paid editing

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion

• Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
• Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.

Not English

• A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.

Tools

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings.

Fixing a propose Wikipedia entry

Hello,

I had proposed a page for David Jensen (a different person than currently in Wikipedia). I had relied fairly heavily on his UN bio, supplemented by other sources. While the UN has a very liberal policy on use of its material, especially in such circumstances, I now understand that such an approach violates Wikipedia's copyright policy. I would like to edit/amend/cure the prior entry.

Your note indicates that "If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the user(s) who performed the action(s) listed below." The page was deleted by Richie333 the same day you sent me the message, and Richie333 is no longer a user. How should I proceed?

Thank you! Carl

Carlbruch (talk) 20:15, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Draft: Safe Climate Campaign

Hi Drm310,

It looks like you deleted my page "Safe Climate Campaign." I am with the organization; however, they don't pay me, I work for Center for Auto Safety in communications. Both groups are 503c non-profit advocacy organizations. I made a Wikipedia page so that people could learn more about our work and what we do. We're small enough that I don't think people will find us otherwise. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make this page stay up. Again, we're a non-profit--nobody is making money off of this! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Katiebped (talk • contribs) 19:12, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

@Katiebped: Actually the administrator DGG deleted the page. I am not an administrator and I have no ability to delete articles.

Wikipedia articles cover notable topics — those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are not outside the scope of Wikipedia. Organizations must must Wikipedia's notability guidelines to be considered worthy of inclusion. These apply equally to for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations (see Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations).

We consider evidence from reliable and independent sources to gauge this attention. Wikipedia has no interest in what an organization wants to say about itself or how it wants to be portrayed; there is a strict policy against using Wikipedia for publicity. Primary sources like an organization's website are of limited value. Blogs, social media and other self-published sources are disqualified outright, as well as someone's unpublished personal knowledge or experiences. We only care about what third-party writers, who have no vested interest in the topic, have chosen to publish about it.

We highly discourage people who are involved with a topic to create an article about it, due to the inherent conflict of interest. Since you are involved with the subject of your writing, you will find it difficult to write from the required neutral point of view and use information taken only from unaffiliated sources.

Lastly, Wikipedia's paid contribution disclosure policy says that interns, on-loan staff, and unpaid workers, including volunteers, are deemed to be employees. If they are directed or expected to edit Wikipedia as part of their tasks, they must make a paid-contribution disclosure. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:32, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Your concerns

I tried to edit out the material you found objectionable, but your system didn't accept that either. I'm done. If you don't like what remains, dump it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Careystevens (talk • contribs) 16:38, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Shahryar (singer)

Hello Drm310. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Shahryar (singer), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: claims significance, G11 already declined once, so there is a non-spammy version to revert to. Thank you. SoWhy 07:43, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

@SoWhy: Respectfully, I disagree. I don't believe that any version of this page at any point in its edit history is salvageable to meet WP:BAND. I guess I'll take it to AfD and let the chips fall where they may. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:14, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

WP:3O

Howdy hello! I'm glad you sought out a third opinion, its a great way to solve disputes. Just wanted to make let you know that your request wasn't formatted right, but that I've gone ahead and cleaned it up for ya. In general, you should only add a link to the page, and a brief, one sentence summary of the dispute. You should also not sign your name, only the date, so that reviewers can be neutral in taking up cases. Smooth sailing, Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 07:30, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks CaptainEek. It's been a while since I've used it, and I guess I didn't read the instructions thoroughly enough. I appreciate you fixing that up for me. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:41, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Did not write my own article

Hi Drm310, I received a message from you in which you assumed that I created an article about myself. Just want to let you that I did not create the article; it was created long before I became active on Wikipedia. I DID add a footnote, I believe, but that is all. Thank you. Richard.A.Egan (talk) 20:23, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

@Richard.A.Egan: Yes, I do see that another user created the article about you. The canned message I left ({{welcomeauto}}) is certainly not a perfect, one-size-fits-all message - I only left it because it was a quick and east way to convey the message.

We highly discourage that you edit an article about yourself at all, due to the fact that it is a conflict of interest to do so. We only care about what reliable, independent sources have written about you. Of course, you would be justified in removing any content that was blatantly defamatory. But otherwise, Wikipedia has no interest in what the subject of an article wants to say about himself/herself or how they want to be portrayed.

The article about you is now up for deletion because it appears that you may not be notable enough for inclusion. You are welcome to argue the case against the deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Richard Egan (composer). However, you will be expected to show that you are notable enough by presenting evidence that multiple, reliable third-party sources have written about you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 10:07, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

I know I am working at CAM but the my purpose CAM article appear before rejected for good does not reflect on my working experience .

I know, I was working at CAM but my purpose CAM Article appear before rejected for good does not reflect on my working experience at all and I just wanted to CAM to get first wiki article which many Journalist didn't make it about CAM International Market to become wiki articles in the past years and many small businesses or restaurants don't have wiki articles and Kroger and Kmart and many companies have wiki articles.

CAM deserves one because they are so popular with the Asian community in Ohio and mostly the Cincinnati area and CAM Cincinnati have competition with Jungle Jims which have wiki articles in Cincinnati and CAM Columbus compete for other Asian stores in Columbus.

I made Wikipedia articles in the past such as Coney Island in Cincinnati roller coaster and Miami Manatees article 10 years ago which it successful with my old account before Wikipedia begins strict policy by approving the articles which I didn't know until now.

If Journalist makes CAM Articles on the wiki that would great me and my work business which might unlikely the journalist don't know what's CAM is anyway and some of know Jungle Jims and make the article about Jungle Jim's couple of years ago and I try best I could to make CAM first wiki appearance as the article before admins delete it before I have chance to complete it and if they approve my article and many editors have chance to revised and add some details about CAM International market that would be good because I am not good at grammar but I can revised it to make it better but I can't do my articles by myself in occasion times.

But Oh well and Thanks for the opportunity for me a chance to make a comeback to make an article such as CAM International Market which rejected and I would come back to try it again with my work article with my own words with the source does not reflect on my working experience and my work don't many sources on online except some Newspaper, their website, google map, and social media if Journalist account won't make a CAM International Market article other than me in the future.

Think About It and I might create CAM articles somewhere else but many people don't care about looking for indie wiki fandom but most important people look for it's Wikipedia for stores and restaurant details.
