Walnuts thank you

Thank you for the encouragement to have this article revised. Sometimes these articles can sit as be without review and if someone does attempt a revision reverted in whole and labeled vandalism. My attempt was not meant as an absolute but rather than wait for someone else to go at it did a quick rework and left it for someone else to make the refinements that can include content removal.GinAndChronically (talk) 00:02, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

And thank you for all the work on the article! --Ronz (talk) 00:10, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

findagrave

Going through archives, I think I had seen you commenting about this link, consider checking WP:External links/Noticeboard#findagrave, Thanks. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 02:41, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Responded there. --Ronz (talk) 16:07, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Clarifying external links, spam, etc.

Hello Ronz,My Name is Kuldeep, and I'm regular reader and contributor of Wikipedia since long. I've Edited some links for the quality content of Wikipedia but i got a message that you removed link, [because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia.].

it'd be great if you can give provide me details for these links so that i can keep it in mind from next time.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuldeepofficial (talk • contribs) 06:35, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

All the links appear to have been added in an attempt to draw traffic to the sites. The relevant policies/guidelines include WP:SOAP, WP:NOTLINK, WP:EL, WP:SPAM.
You're a regular contributor? Were you using a different account in the past, or just editing without logging in? --Ronz (talk) 16:07, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Omez

I see you've been helping with restoring the Omez redirect to Omeprazole in line with other proprietary forms of this drug. Do you think the page should be Semiprotected -- and if so -- can you help do this. I've struggled with the unclear instructions!Jrfw51 (talk) 19:00, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't think such protection is called for at this time. So far it's just been two WP:SPA editors. If ip's or other new accounts join in, then semi-protection would be helpful. If either of the two continue, then they would be facing a block fairly quickly.
What about the instructions is confusing? I've done it so often that I don't pay attention. --Ronz (talk) 19:18, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Linkfarm

Thanks for your contributions.

I like to clear linkfarm and whenever I had any doubt about the links, I would simply add them to my list. Check User:OccultZone/Linkfarm, it may be hard but you can surely help. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 07:42, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for being so vigilant about spam, linkfarms and the myriad of related problems plaguing articles! The work you do too often gets overlooked, but we do notice. Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:30, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
Thank you! Glad to have helped. --Ronz (talk) 23:34, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Threats

LOL, wtf is the threat? You've been editing since 2006, presumably you know the rules. 3RR and all that. Blanking an entire article like that, a longstanding one without controversy, during an AFD, is bad form. I'm normally quite well-composed, but get upset by uncivil behavior like that.--Milowent • hasspoken 19:39, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

It got some substantial discussion going, which is what is needed. I'd already said I didn't want to take the route of actually enforcing WP:BLP to that extent while the AfD was open, but it seems other editors would rather WP:IDHT than collaborate.
I appreciate your comments on the article talk page. How about removing the threat [1] and focusing on the content/policy-related discussion? --Ronz (talk) 19:50, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Re: List of Playboy Playmates of 2014

Hi Ronz. You may not remember me (until a few hours ago I could not have recalled the [on WP:AN/I] where we had crossed paths), but a few Wikipedians asked me to intervene in the dispute at this page.

First, let me say I've looked over our record in the two years since our last meeting, & you clearly are not the person I encountered then. It's clear you have taken on some difficult issues & handled them -- better than I would have. You are clearly an asset to Wikipedia.

However, in this incident it's clear you & a number of other editors have greatly different opinions about this article, & I don't see where a compromise can be found. You took this article to AfD, & the result was a keep. Your further attempts to work on it are only causing frustration on both parts. My suggestion -- one I vigorously suggest, but I'm still leaving the choice to you -- is to walk away from this group of articles & let them be. A few unsatisfactory articles will not destroy Wikipedia, so there is no harm walking away from them. According to the front page there are over 4.5 million articles, so there is no lack of other articles that could stand improvement from your attention. Do that, & in the long run I think you'll do better at Wikipedia than sticking it out at List of Playboy Playmates of 2014 & dealing with the consequences. -- llywrch (talk) 23:31, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Much appreciated all.
I'll give it careful consideration, and in the meantime start with a month away from the articles. --Ronz (talk) 00:58, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

For anyone paying attention, I realize that my starting this discussion in conjunction with [2] [3] might be seen as cutting it too close to what I agreed to above. Let me know what you think. --Ronz (talk) 22:54, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

  • To elaborate, if you have a question about whether its too close, its probably too close. Here, any involvement with the same article, or playmates generally for that matter, will be used against you. Its only likely to draw you back into the same stuff, with the same editors, and very unlikely to be productive!--Milowent • hasspoken 17:38, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
Very good points. Thanks.
My concern was with the warning to him, and I'll definitely draw the line at any further such warnings.
Hopefully, that will be the last time it anything remotely close even comes up. --Ronz (talk) 17:51, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

AN/I notice over your editing behavior

Semir Osmanagich -bibliography

Finaly I found the way how to communicate with you about the editing on Semir Osmanagich. you wrote:"we don't provide a directory of his writings but rather highlight those related to his notability or are otherwise prominent".

How do you know which books are related to his notability and are prominent

if you don't know even language in which they are written, like German, Turkish, Croatian..

I see wrong information for ex. in this line below:

  • Sam Osmanagich, " Alternative history - traces of Atlantis "- Indrija, Zagreb (385/1-370-7688)

right spelled this line is below and you can check it here

"Alternativna povijest - tragovima Atlantide" – Indrija, Zagreb (385/1-370-7688) ili Sveznadar (www.sveznadar.hr)(language:Croatian)

(by chance I was born in Zagreb and could read and understand this line)and see that it is the same ISBN.)

Old line in English is misleading readers who don't know..and trust that Wikipedia provide right information.

Why someone from Germany could not find information that there is Osmanagich's book written in German language,

or Turkish person to know that there is in Turkish language.

Can we give just ,facts, right information to readers?

..without much personal judging (as there is so here in this article,generally, as I feel.)--Indija (talk) 14:16, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Indija! Sorry you had such difficulties contacting me.
It would be better to discuss this on the article talk page so others can easily see and contribute to the discussion.
I was using "notability" to refer to Wikipedia's Notability policies, specifically WP:BIO in this case. Osmanagić is notable for his claims of there being pyramids in Bosnia, and his efforts to promote these claims.
By "prominent" I was referring to Wikipedia's Neutral point of view policy, specifically WP:WEIGHT. Usually prominence is determined by the amount of coverage a topic receives from independent sources. For instance, a number of sources have mentioned Osmanagić's book The World of the Maya, and claims in that book.
From what you've written, I'm not clear what information is wrong, nor do I understand what the numbers are. This would be best brought to the article talk page. --Ronz (talk) 15:41, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

what is this Ronz?

I hope that this 2 links below my talk on your User talk are not from you

.. they are without signature..and appear after my talk

and they are non-related to my talk ..what is this?..spam? --Indija (talk) 15:16, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

The links below are references mentioned in previous discussions, similar to the references you see on an article talk page. --Ronz (talk) 15:25, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

regarding my edits on head/tail breaks wiki

Hi Ronz

Thanks for your comments. I am Digmaa. I don't want to promote anything, just putting a link which directs to Github respiratory which stores the implementation of head/tail breaks theory and this is approved by Binjiangwiki who created this page. This time I put the link in External Link section, hopefully it is ok. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Digmaa (talk • contribs) 08:55, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for contacting me about this. Unfortunately, such links are generally not appropriate. --Ronz (talk) 15:29, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Reference nr 11 is dead link. I don't understand why an old version of this site cannot be edited?--Indija (talk) 21:14, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes, it is a dead link. You want to edit something? I don't understand what you are referring to. --Ronz (talk) 16:48, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you,Ronz,for kind answer. I am new on Wikipedia and it takes little time in my orientation where and how to ask and answer.I go to site discussion.--Indija (talk) 21:30, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Osmanagic

I was going to warn Indija about edit-warring, but that's a bit tricky as you are at 3RR - permissible of course but it would look odd to a newbie. Dougweller (talk) 20:47, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Let's see if we can get some discussion going. I think we've a language problem on top of whatever concerns the editor has. --Ronz (talk) 02:54, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Nofel Izz

Hi Ronz. I saw your question about Nofel Izz on Johnmoor's talk page. I'm aware that one editor was recently hired by Nofel, and looking at who has been editing that article, I'd guess that at least four editors were hired. I'll go through it later today and see what I can clarify - I have a lot of teaching commitments, but once I knock them off I may have a bit of time. I had warned some of the editors about the new disclosure requirements, so that may require following up, unfortunately. - Bilby (talk) 00:46, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Just quickly, I can confirm that Nofel Izz recently hired four Wikipedia editors. I had suspected a fifth, but at this stage I have to assume not. I'll handle the warnings and remind them that they need to disclose their relationship with the client. - Bilby (talk) 02:49, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
To update, there's a fifth very likely paid editor (definitely a paid editor, was recently hired, but I can't definitely confirm it was by Nofel). That one I'll block as a sock of a banned editor. The final editor does do paid work, but I have no evidence that they were hired. Normally a maximum of 3-4 get hired - this is the first time I've seen 5 or 6, but I gather Nofel Izz understands WP well enough to play hard. - Bilby (talk) 07:08, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
Would it be helpful to share what evidence you have before they try to hide it all? --Ronz (talk) 15:05, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
Unfortunately, making it publicly available would involve outing, so I can't share the evidence. However, all six editors (I've confirmed the 6th now) were hired by the same client. Nofel hired BiH, Renzoy16, Anupam, Inlandmamba/InlandmambaPLU, Johnmoor and Anishwiki12. I had been intending to block Anishwiki12 anyway, as a sock of banned editor Kavdiaravish, so I've taken care of that now.
It is frustrating to see that many editors hired to skew an article. - Bilby (talk) 15:18, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
If Johnmoor is one, he's not been hiding his identity (see Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard/Archive_68#Editor_Johnmoor). He has tried to hide the fact that he's a paid editor though. If he's back as a paid editor, he should be blocked. If he's back to his old editing habits, I think there's a good case for blocking him regardless. --Ronz (talk) 15:22, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
I'll revisit Johnmoor in the morning - I'm curious as to how he will respond. I've got a couple more ducks to line up before I handle the last two in the list, anyway. - Bilby (talk) 15:45, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
Bilby, Your suspicion or conviction about me being a paid editor has been on for years already.
Ronz, I wonder how you would use your administrator privileges if you ever become one.
Thank you.—JOHNMOORofMOORLAND (talk) 00:17, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

You are correct that skyhooks are a subject I am very familiar with. I have also been working very hard at being as neutral as possible in what I write on the subject.

RE Brahma Kumaris article

Hi Ronz, I was a bit disappointed to see your comment, coming from such an experienced editor....I'm not sure if you know the history of this page, but it basically gets regular ambushing from WP:SPA accounts on both sides. While it's not really our problem except when it gets so lame it starts to discredit Wikipedia (and I agree with you the article needs work), I thought to check if you had read the edit comments from the person you are encouraging? So far they have just deleted lots of RS - material from other encyclopaedia's without legitimate explanation. If it's so obvious to everyone that it's advertising, why is no one able to specify the offending text rather than just launching a chainsaw operation.

It's also this editors first edits on Wikipedia, yet they are clearly not a first timer, which begs the question why they aren't using their previous editing account/s....anyways, hope you don't mind me saying. Regards Danh108 (talk) 08:25, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

I was only commenting on the state of the article. Sorry if I made it sound like I had reviewed and was encouraging his edits. --Ronz (talk) 16:39, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Regarding CoQ10 wiki page - inclusion of ubiquinol

Dear RonZ:

Thank you for taking the time to send me a line on some recent edit(s) on the CoQ10 page. I have chosen to factually include the information that ubiquinol is part of the CoQ10 family. As you know, CoQ10 is comprised of ubiquinone, ubiquinol, and partially reduced form (ubisemiquinone). Ubiquinol is a member of the CoQ10 family just like Texas is a state of the USA. Let me give you an examples of the text that you removed on the basis of "soapboxing", which hinders the reader's basic understanding of CoQ10:

Example 1 Your text: Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, ubidecarenone, coenzyme Q...

My text (which you removed): Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, ubiquinol (unoxidized form), ubidecarenone, coenzyme Q...

Example 2 Your text: In its reduced form, the CoQ10 molecule holds electrons rather loosely, so this CoQ molecule will quite easily give up one or both electrons and, thus, act as an antioxidant.

My text (which you removed): In its reduced form ubiquinol, the CoQ10 molecule holds electrons rather loosely, so this CoQ molecule will quite easily give up one or both electrons and, thus, act as an antioxidant.


This removal of the word ubiquinol from the definition of CoQ10 is factually incorrect and not undue soapboxing. Though I can undo your edit, which is not a mature option, I prefer to approach you on a scientific basis so that you may, yourself, decide to undo your edit.'

I hope this is reasonable and I thank you for your help.

Committed molecules (talk) 04:44, 13 August 2014 (UTC)Committed Molecules

Please WP:FOC. You're clearly interested in promoting the substance, and appear quite defensive about your personal preferences. Please try to cooperate with others instead.
If you can provide reliable sources to support your changes, especially WP:MEDRS sources for anything health-related, then do so on the article talk page and I'm sure we can come to some quick agreement on changes. --Ronz (talk) 15:38, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

etechnologytips Linkspam?

Hi ronz,

We want to know why our website etechnologytips considered as linkspam. We're already linking it from couple of months ago and the others not having a problem with it. Maybe you can tell us so we can improve our website for a better result. Thanks

Regards, James — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.136.245.76 (talk) 17:58, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi James,
Thanks for contacting me, as I was going to recommend the site be blacklisted if the spamming continued without some sort of communication.
Multiple editors have been removing the links, almost as fast as you add them. It's pretty clear the links are to articles that aren't reliable sources, nor are they to material that cannot be found in reliable sources and added to the article as references rather than external links per WP:EL.
To exasperate the matter, I think it is a fairly safe assumption that they are being linked to drive traffic to the website against a conflict of interest.
If you disagree, it would be best to take up at WP:ELN or WP:RSN, depending whether overall you feel it is more suited to being an external link or a reference. --Ronz (talk) 21:02, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Y528s (talk) 20:58, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for following up with me.
Basically, the links you were adding were examples rather than references or proper external links. Additionally, adding examples in this manner appears to be promotional in nature. --Ronz (talk) 22:33, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Bradley C. Edwards is no Nofel Izz :-)

Hi Ronz, Thanks for your anti-fluffery work over there on Nofel Izz. Based on your comments on the Bradley C. Edwards nomination for deletion, I have the feeling you may think the Edwards article is similar to Nofel Izz. In case you do, I'd like to argue otherwise. Like I said in my "keep" comment, Edwards is the man. He is as solid & notable as Izz is flakey & puffed up. He's the major figure who got Space Elevators (real ones) moving in the early oughts with thorough design and engineering. His article is stubby and doesn't reflect his impact, but that's only because he hasn't been puffed like Izz. Notability is required for the subject, which Edwards has in spades. So, there you go, just in case you didn't know.
Skyway (talk) 17:50, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

I have no idea. The problem is that the editors are not backing their opinions with information that others can verify, hence the concerns of both myself and others. --Ronz (talk) 20:11, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

..hnnmmm...So, if I may ask you, Ronz, why would you not vote on this—Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bradley C. Edwards? I supposed that you equally avoided this one—Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SpaceShaft, did you not? —JOHNMOORofMOORLAND (talk) 21:56, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Why do you ask? --Ronz (talk) 01:14, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Okay, Ronz. It's hard to back up opinions with evidence when the subject was so quickly put on the chopping block. That takes some time. Usually, notability debates start on the talk page, then move to the AFD after some debate if there is some validity. Here, it looks like someone without a background saw the article, got pissed off that the subject appeared to lack sufficient notability by the article, so it was submitted summarily to WP:PROD. When that failed, it was immediately submitted to AFD. There was no discussion on the talk page at all.
Yeah, the article is in a sorry state and it does lack evidence of notability. I can see how someone who isn't familiar with the field and it's history could look at the article and question notability of the subject. It shouldn't be too hard to fix that impression in the article with a little bit of research, but time is needed, and maybe a little talk on the talk page. Skyway (talk) 04:59, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Edit warring on Nofel Izz

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Nofel Izz. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Hi, Ronz. Would it be helpful to post the material in User:Location/Sandbox13 to the discussion in WP:ELN? I don't want to clutter up the page, but I think it's important to the discussion. Location (talk) 01:46, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

External links on Amharic language page

Ronz, I agree with you that there were too many external links to the Amharic language page. Some were about the script, not the language. But I was surprised that you recently removed a link to a medical dictionary. In the list of written sources, there are dictionaries and grammars. This medical dictionary should be consulted more often than Armbruster's old grammar, which is safely listed. If it was a broad, general dictionary would that be more acceptable to you than a medical dictionary?

We both want this page to be useful and in conformity with Wikipedia's policies. Please tell us what you think would be acceptable for external links for this language related article.

Please remember that I have not been involved in any comments about where people are writing from. I am only trying to improve the article about a language that is very important to me.

Pete unseth

As you know, we've a discussion ongoing on the talk page, which is where this discussion should be as well.
Yes, a general dictionary would be more appropriate, because the topic of the article is the language in general. --Ronz (talk) 21:10, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Gokhale Method Page

Hi, Ronz! Thank you for your helpful feedback! I have read the relevant sources you shared with me, but in reviewing the material in question I do not see how the article in question contains (a) promotional content (b) content representing a non-neutral point of view or (c) inappropriate external links. I recognized that some of the information in my first draft could appear as promotional material, so I removed that information, and I removed adjectives that seemed to represent a non-neutral point of view. The external links cited are the source's book, the source's website, and numerous articles from reputable sites about the source. I have looked and have not been able to find any articles written in opposition to the source, but I agree that they would be a great addition to the article if they become available. Could you please help me understand what specifically in the article strikes you as (a) promotional content (b) content representing a non-neutral point of view or (c) inappropriate external links? I would be happy to improve the article. Dandem1 (talk) 01:42, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

I started a discussion on the article talk page. Given the article is up for deletion now, it would be best to focus on notability, which is the first item I brought up on the talk page. --Ronz (talk) 15:37, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi Ronz! Thank you for your reply! I have read the notability section that you linked to, but given that the subject of the article has been written the subject of an article in The New York Times, has delivered a talk at Authors@Google, has given a TEDx talk at Stanford University, and is a published author, on what grounds is the topic considered non-notable? Please help me understand what specifically makes you feel that there is an issue of notability. Also, I thought that the first issue you brought up was that the article seemed to be written as an advertisement, since that was what you had commented on the page. Given that classifying an article as an advertisement signifies that it is (a) promotional content (b) content representing a non-neutral point of view or contains (c) inappropriate external links, I will restate my question as to why you gave the article that designation. What specific material do you see as (a) promotional content (b) content representing a non-neutral point of view or (c) inappropriate external links? And then additionally, why specifically do you see the article as a non-notable topic? Thank you, Dandem1 (talk) 17:35, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
As I pointed out, I already started a discussion on the article's talk page. Let's keep the discussion there so others can participate more easily. --Ronz (talk) 19:39, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Okay, thanks! I have made the revisions you suggested to the article and explained what I've done on the talk page for the article. Cheers! Dandem1 (talk) 23:52, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Deleted Content

Hi Ronz, you sent me a message saying you deleted some of my content. I'm just curious as to what I can do to make the content less promotional. I believed that the content was important for consumers to know, and the page seemed to lack information on variable annuities. At the same time, I do not want to violate Wikipedia's rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AMH182 (talk • contribs) 15:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)


That's completely understandable, Ronz. My boss has written a book published by the American Bar Association (http://shop.americanbar.org/eBus/Store/ProductDetails.aspx?productId=214487). That should be a reputable enough source, right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AMH182 (talk • contribs) 16:03, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Esther Gokhale

Hi Ronz, thank you for your constructive feedback on the page I made about the Gokhale Method. It was the first page I made on Wikipedia, and even though you were telling me things I didn't want to hear, once you explained your reasons I learned a lot from you. I took your suggestion too and created a page about Esther Gokhale instead, since that page had more solid notability. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind reviewing it if you get a chance. I think I made this one better. Thanks Dandem1 (talk) 02:16, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

I'm glad you're giving it another try. I'll definitely give it a look. Feel free to remind me if I don't get around to it quickly as I catch up. --Ronz (talk) 16:06, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Open Kanban Mention

Ronz, you deleted the Open Kanban mention on the Kanban development page, the reason you mentioned was related to marketing material on Wikipedia. This makes no sense whatsoever, the actual mention in that page is about Lean Kanban University Kanban, a fully paid, non open source, proprietary Kanban. One that has several paragraphs, and reads like an ad. Yet you did not delete that one, you deleted the mention about a free, fully open source Kanban method! Please stop and learn a bit more about this subject before deleting anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OrangeLeanVoice (talk • contribs) 15:16, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

re: functional medicine

The article on FM fails to note that the Cleveland Clinic, which is about as mainstream as it gets, just opened a functional medicine institute. 24.15.55.23 (talk) 03:00, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Correct. This is an encyclopedia. As I pointed out on the article talk page, I don't think it belongs per WP:SOAP and WP:NOTNEWS. --Ronz (talk) 15:28, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm looking forward to your comments on the article talk page. --Ronz (talk) 21:45, 2 October 2014 (UTC)


I would argue that the opening of Cleveland Clinic's FM Institute is big and informative - so would like to see it somewhere on WP. "Newsy" and related news: a woman chiropractor in Virginia recently filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the Virginia Board of Medicine which had previously fined her $25K and suspended her license for practicing FM. The board comprises all MDs. The one chiropractor on the Board of Medicine did not participate in the decision to fine and suspend the license. The hearing in Arlington, VA is scheduled for December 2014. (Petrie v. VA Board of Medicine) Watchquackwatch (talk) 13:45, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Agreed. The opening of the Cleveland Clinic FM Institute should be mentioned somewhere.173.168.39.10 (talk) 13:57, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Naming compliance

Thanks, Heather Watchquackwatch (talk) 13:36, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't understand. There is no user named "Quackwatch" nor is it an acceptable username, if that's what you're asking about.
You should change your username, or create a new one. Your current username is problematic on many levels. --Ronz (talk) 17:11, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Functional Medicine

Hi Ronz! Sorry, I am new and still learning how to use this interface. You reverted an edit that referenced several news articles discussing the launch of a new center for functional medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. Primary sources were also listed. This seems like a very relevant piece of information that should be listed on an encyclopedia article about functional medicine. The Cleveland Clinic is very well known and respected and a pillar in American medicine. The goal is to be factual, not promotional. Please let me know how you think this content can be edited to sound less promotional, but still convey factual information. Would be glad to discuss here or on the Functional Medicine talk page. Thanks! 173.168.39.10 (talk) 13:52, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Reiki Page

Hi Ronz. I left a response to your response to my Reiki edits but i'm not sure if you got it? Basically i'd like to work with you to get this page further edited.

We believe it is full of misstatements about Reiki which might come down to a he said, she said situation.

I certainly understand the issue with "promotion" and do not want to do that however my information comes from a living person who is almost as creditable and quotable as it gets within Reiki and there is so much that would be stated differently if writing our own page.

So if you wouldn't mind taking a look at my message for you perhaps i can start moving forward with edits that don't get erased.

Thanks!

Understood. You're right, that last sentence I added did mention something negative about a living person and should have been deleted, per policy. My oversight.

I think the lede is better. We can continue to improve over the next few weeks. Here are my intentions with the article:

● Refine opening paragraph. Add more distinctions between Usability Engineering and Usability Interface Engineering. ● Add more inline citations on Usability Engineering that enhances understanding of the topic. ● Add an information box that will contain some of the common attributes from other fields. ● Add images to draw readers attention. ● Remove the “reading” list, or refine it so it doesn’t have just book listings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brc4783 (talk • contribs) 00:25, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Nofel Izz RfC closure

(Below is in response to:"I moved your closure comment an formatting to the RfC specifically, then pointed out that there was indeed a specific question [5]. I hope this isn't a problem.

How should I have worded the RfC to make the question clearer and more prominent?

As the issue of all the sources being poor wasn't directly addressed or answered in the RfC, I'll be taking it to the BLP noticeboard after wrapping up the current issues: those brought up at FTN, the edit-warring and ownership problems that has driven a new editor away, and the coi and paid editing problems. --Ronz (talk) 16:54, 9 November 2014 (UTC)"[6])

I agree with your comment that there is some confusion, but would like to clarify what the confusion is. You reverted my closure of an RFC on Nofel Izz. The RFC had requested commentary on sources. My closure did not remove the sources or the discussion of the sources. It merely boxed them. My closure had stated that there had been discussion of sources and that the commentary had improved the article. You or another editor had used the Request for Comments procedure. A Request for Comments is closed after it has been open for 30 days. If it poses a question, then it is closed stating what the consensus of the community was. In this case, it requested discussion and commentary, and my conclusion was that the discussion and commentary had improved the article. If you disagree with that conclusion, then the usual procedure is to request closure review at WP:AN. Based on your comment, it appears that you may have thought that I was deleting the commentary. I was not. I was merely closing the RFC. If you think that further commentary would further improve the article, I would suggest that you revert your revert of the closure (leaving the RFC boxed), and post a new RFC. If you simply agree that the commentary was useful and improved the article, that is what my closure said. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:51, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
This diff better shows what I did: I moved the closure so it was specific to the RfC rather than the larger discussion. I never wanted the RfC to be a subsection like that, but another editor edit-warred to make it that way.
I'm for the closure, but wanted to make sure that it was clear that there was indeed a question and that never was addressed directly, as it will be taken to BLPN after being rewritten in a clearer manner so that the main concern won't be again overlooked.
To be clearer still: The purposed of the RfC was never addressed (though we did get some helpful discussions and changes to the article as a result of the RfC, as you note.) I'd like to determine what went wrong so that it will be addressed at the next attempt. --Ronz (talk) 17:07, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for reclosing the RFC. I agree with you that, if you have questions about the sources, you should go to the BLP noticeboard. Your RFC didn't ask a specific question. Although RFC stands for Request for Comments, RFCs that ask only for comments do not get real closure. An RFC that asks a question gets !votes and can be closed. Also, if a user edit-wars to change an RFC, I have learned that it is best not to try to accommodate them, but to go to WP:ANEW or WP:ANI. I wish that it weren't necessary to report users who edit-war over RFCs, but they are edit-warriors, and, besides, if you try to compromise with them, they will take advantage of that. If you have a question about sources, they are better dealt with at WP:BLPN than by RFC. If you have a specific question about a specific source, that can be answered as Yes or No, or as A, B, or C, you can use an RFC. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:19, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the explanation. It's very helpful and I'll be sure to use the advice. --Ronz (talk) 18:46, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Contesting Umar Vadillo's Deletion

As you mentioned that my sources were poor and did not meet the wikipedia guidelines but the sources like BBC, Aljazeera, Official website of Govt. of Malaysia, many international universities and hundred of organization specially regarding gold coins mentioned him in there publications and websites. And some of my sources were poor because Mr. Gorge told me to mention resources extensively. (you may refer to my talk page for refrence) So it should not be totally deleted because his name (Umar Ibrahim Vadillo) is mentioned also in many Wikipedia's articles e.g. Abdalqadir as-Sufi, Modern gold dinar, Kelantanese dinar, Nazim Al-Haqqani, etc. So he is a famous person who make gold dinar (gold coin) as a legal tender in many states of Malyasia e.g. Kelantan, Perak etc. And he is a main driving force behind the restoration of Islamic Monetary Economics in Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, UAE etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thefireball777 (talk • contribs) 03:52, 16 November 2014‎

This just popped up on my watchlist. It looks like we have a case of forbidden WP:Sock puppetry. We've got one person using three identities:
all editing the same article
Evidence that they are the same person: here, here, here, and here.
They need to decide which registered account to use, stop using the other and close it, and always log in. Otherwise this may escalate to them all being blocked. I suspect that the history of editing and comments related to EMDR, and an WP:SPI, would reveal even more socks.
With 803 edits since 2010-02-05, Woodywoodpeckerthe3rd is the mother account of these three. Only an SPI could make clear if another account is the real mother account. I'll leave you to deal with them, but let me know of any further developments. -- Brangifer (talk) 16:55, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for looking at it. I'm fairly sure that Woodywoodpeckerthe3rd has exposed his own ip, and it is not the same as the one above. It looks like he's just trying to cover for Saturn Explorer's exposure of using 50.138.191.112, based upon assumptions of ip privacy that don't exist that I'm aware. --Ronz (talk) 17:30, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
Okay, that's a possible interpretation. In that case, Saturn Explorer needs to always log in. When an editor has been socking (by not logging in, or in any other manner) and exposes their own IP, there is nothing improper in noting it. Exposing sock puppetry is a duty for every editor, and defense of editors who sock is wrong. -- Brangifer (talk) 17:45, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Loft Conversion

Dear Ronz, I am reaching out to you as there has been persistant spamming of the loft conversion entry which you have recently edited. It seems that the commericial loft conversion companies have been busy again and lately there have been a lot of links added to commericial loft conversion companies. The main culprits are Land mark lofts, Econolofts and touchstone lofts. The latest link added to the homebuilding website is nothing more than a page sponsored by Econolofts and links to their main website.

I propose that the page is restored to the 17:40, 14 November 2014 version which appears to the latest version without the spam links. I added the link to aboutloftconversions around four years ago and I believe it is an apropriate resource as it is not for profit website and purely a reference website, although the spammers regularly replace this with links to their own websites, fortunately these are fairly quickly removed by various editors.

I feel that the recent spate of edits, a lot of which are not from signed user accounts requires the attention of an editor. Once the spammers are defeated I have a few edits to the content that I am considering making, but until the spammers have gone I am reluctant to do so as there are so many edits going on. Is there a way for this page to be flagged up for monitoring for spam?

Thanks, --Jollyroger2009

I'll try to find some time over the next week to look over it carefully. I agree with your concerns. At a glance, the sources look poor with reoccurring WP:REFSPAM problems. --Ronz (talk) 19:04, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
Thanks Ronz. I've just had another look at the page and there is another link to a commericial website been added, I've not removed it as I'm sure another one would soon replace it. On reviewing the page there have been some ligitimate edits which I think should be left in such as the removal of dead links. I think the page on the whole is ok with the exception of the references, I have searched for a non commericial website detailing the types of loft conversions but have not been able to find a suitable one other than the aboutloftconversions one I added back in 2011. The planning portal and local authority websites do not appear to have any useful guides in this respect which is a shame. I think the first reference link to rightmove (a UK online estate agency) is a link that should be considered for removal as looking at the website I do not think its very useful at all at looks like REFSPAM. I not very experienced with WP and this seems a bit messy and I feel out of my depth so thank you for helping and I'm sure I will learn a few new things along the way. --Jollyroger2009 (talk) 14:57, 02 December 2014 (UTC)
I've just seen your edit, I think you did the right thing in removing the reference link, otherwise it would just become an edit war. --Jollyroger2009 (talk) 17:27, 02 December 2014 (UTC)

Entry for Cimpress? Your Thoughts Appreciated

Hi Ronz, I’m fairly new to Wikipedia – but I’ve done my homework and understand the importance the ‘bright line’ rule and conflict of interest policy. In the interest of transparency, I want you to know that I work in Corporate Communications for Cimpress. I’d really like to approach Wikipedia in the right way and am hoping you might steer me in the right direction.

Two weeks ago it was announced that Vistaprint NV was renamed as Cimpress. You can see the public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission here. Today there is a Vistaprint Wikipedia entry and the Vistaprint brand will persist. In the past there have been some issues with individuals editing the Vistaprint page and I want to ensure we take the right approach.

My hope is that we can suggest a new entry for Cimpress be created. I’ve included the factual information about Cimpress below. We’d really be interested in having someone like you take a look and provide these edits or share with us the best way to make this suggestion.

Thank you for your time on this and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Kind regards, Cheryl

If you mean including each entry from the Imhofe's list into our article, absolutely not given all the NOT and BLP violations that would entail.
