EarlySalary Page

Hi, this is in response to the page on EarlySalary. I would like to confirm to you that I am not being compensated (in any way) for my edits. Being a tech entrepreneur, I tend to focus on startup topics to a large degree on Wikipedia, and created the EarlySalary page after seeing that it had a million-plus customers. My understanding is that this makes it worthy of a page. I hadn't seen your message on my talk before I saw the notice on the page, so I ended up re-reviewing the page and removing what seemed to me, on second glance, potentially promotional. Promotion of the topic was not my intention. I genuinely believe, given the company's metrics and stats, that they are notable enough. Pls review. Thanks for reaching out!

Hi, awaiting your reply. Ymed07 (talk) 09:20, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia is probably not the right place to put userbox asshole-N. Consider removing this from your profile.

Praxidicae, (talk page stalker)In a strange twist of irony that users comment encouraged me to add it to my userpage. Now where do I pick up my club card? Sulfurboy (talk) 07:20, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

JalenFolf's decline on deletation of Voicians

Two or three days ago due to some reasons Jalen decided to nominate the Article for speedy deletation. But he later declined. The edit I made on removing the box was valid from my POV. For any mistakes sorry. Check the talk page of if you still think I was completely a jerk. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JalenFolf IDCWII (talk) 07:04, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

What exactly are you referring to when you say he later declined? Please provide a diff of JalenFolf stating he's withdrawing the nom, IDCWII. Praxidicae (talk) 12:20, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

I think IDCWII is referring to SoWhy's decline of JalenFolf's original CSD. IDCWII - what has happened is that JalenFolf nominated it for what we call a speedy deletion - a deletion that doesn't require any discussion. SoWhy, an administrator, declined that request, so JalenFolf has started a discussion about whether or not it should be deleted. You can contribute to the discussion by going to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Voicians and arguing your case; however, you must not remove the notice of the discussion from the article, since that will prevent people from finding out that there is a discussion going on. Cheers GirthSummit _(blether) 12:30, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you IDCWII (talk) 13:17, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Any idea

if this is Abhishek shannu's sock? User RoZTaly was registered two days after Trishneet Arora India was blocked that you reported at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Abhishek shannu and created Jayvijay Sachan under Jayvijay Sachan (comedian). GSS ^💬 18:48, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

They're definitely a paid sock/meat. Praxidicae (talk) 18:49, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

St. Francis de Sales College

Hello Praxidicae, I can't figure out why you are creating trouble. I am employee of the St. Francis de Sales College, Nagpur teaching Chemistry to undergraduate students. I am getting salary as an employee of the college. I am not getting any payment for the creation of page in Wikipedia or anywhere. My sole intention is to make a informative and reliable page of my college. I was doing many editing in the other page(St. Francis De Sales College) But suddenly someone restored it to old version and I couldn't revert it back. Hence I was forced to create a new page. Since I represent the Institution, I have reliable and accurate data with me and I would like to add everything in the page. I request you to initiate to delete the other page due to inaccurate and misleading information and they cannot make the page informative. Kindly understand my intention to view a complete collection of information of the institution and nothing monetary. I am ready to provide proof of representation of the institution.

I'm not creating trouble. Read your talk page, follow the instructions. You stated you're an assistant at the college, ergo you have a conflict of interest and may not edit any article about the school directly. Also sign your posts. Praxidicae (talk) 19:06, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Spam

I was puzzled by your use of the word "spam" in your edit summary for the song "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". My understanding of the word "spam" in the context of computers is to refer to junk mail in one's email account. That doesn't apply here. You might want to change your edit summary to something which better reflects your reasons for deleting material. Thanks.Vmavanti (talk) 19:31, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps check the material I removed and the other contributions of the user. Linkspam is spam and my edit summary was accurate. Praxidicae (talk) 19:50, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

No, it wasn't. There's no such thing as "linkspam" and you are using the word "spam" incorrectly, and even if you were using such terms correctly, they qualify as jargon which should be avoided. On the internet and on Wikipedia, because the purpose is communicating with human beings, as large an audience as possible, it's better to make your prose and your edit summaries clear, simple, and plain. I know you don't like to hear it, but if you follow that advice you will be a much better editor. Then you can pass it on to the next person who delights in obfuscation.Vmavanti (talk) 15:21, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

WP:LINKSPAM is literally a thing. Anyway, if you have an issue with my edits, feel free to take it to ANI. Praxidicae (talk) 15:23, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Answering impulsively is a bad idea. Reasonable adults ought to be able to discuss edits, methods, and disagreements on their own. Jargon and acronyms are enemies of clarity. I come down on the side of communication.Vmavanti (talk) 15:29, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Vmavanti, just as a note, spamming can relate to a multitude of unwanted and unsolicited messages, the most common of which is email spam but can also be used to describe a link to a promotional website. As Praxidicae has linked to above, we even have a WP shortcut that links to why we should not be putting these sorts of links on Wikipedia; she is using the term correctly, and hopefully you will use this as a learning opportunity rather than any sort of belittlement - we all don't know something, and today is your day to learn about spam! Primefac (talk) 15:31, 29 March 2020 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

Well, I appreciate you for being nosy enough to butt in and inform me. I accept your explanation of the technical term, though I didn't find it in my dictionary. I still emphasize the need for plain language and clarity when dealing with a large audience. Those standards exclude being satisfied with acronyms and jargon as edit summaries, no matter who uses them. Sure, some terms are obvious, others less so. I got the gist of the edit summary in context, but many people out in the world would not have. Thanks.Vmavanti (talk) 19:24, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

No problem, and I agree that sometimes we're a little too reliant on those "ALLCAPS" links to make our point; it can be hard some times to remember that not everyone on Wikipedia has had the same experiences. All we can do is help others and try to be understanding. Primefac (talk) 19:30, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons

Are you by any chance active on WM Commons? File:ℒoviℱm.com_(blog).jpg should probably be nominated for deletion, since it's now being used by the long-term abuse lovifm sockpuppets, but I don't have an account there and am not familiar with their deletion procedures. Thanks for the help dealing with the socks, btw. PohranicniStraze (talk) 14:49, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

I'll ask an admin to nuke. Thanks! Praxidicae (talk) 14:50, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello Praxidicae, I am sorry I didn't know. A lot of changes had been made on this article and I thought the tag wasn't efficient anymore. Thank you for your help. --Grégory Durieu (talk) 19:39, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

spam links

I do not believe I used "spam links" in my edit to the Wood Flooring or Tile pages, but it seems both of my edits were removed? Wood Flooring link was to an article on ThisOldHouse.com, which was used in previous paragraphs within the same article with no issue. Just started my Wiki-Experience today, so am I missing something? Ehtfirm (talk) 21:02, 1 April 2020 (UTC)EHTFIRM

Ehtfirm I'd strong advise you to read WP:PAID, WP:SEO and WP:LINKSPAM before editing this project again. Praxidicae (talk) 21:04, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

the case request

Hello,

Per the clerk procedures I asked an arb for confirmation to remove the case request. Not heard back from an arb yet. See Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Clerks/Procedures#Vetting_new_requests. Regardless, don't think anyone will have an issue with your removal. All best, Dreamy Jazz 🎷 ^{talk to me | my contributions} 01:02, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, arb isn't really my thing, I just reverted it because it was completely malformed and messing up the page. Hope that's okay. If not, obviously revert me. I tried twice (using preview) to fix their formatting but alas...Praxidicae (talk) 01:03, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Mia (Everglow Member)

Why do you feel Mia does not deserve her own article? Kim Si-hyeon currently has her own, so as a school project I began to create one for Mia. I was in the process of creating it when I saw you thought a redirect link worked just as well? Can you elaborate on why you think this is better? WackoWyatt (talk) 21:43, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

reattribute edit

Could you make an exception to reattribute because I know which IP account it was. CartleR255 (talk) 15:30, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

CartleR255 As I noted on your talk page - it simply isn't possible, it's not a matter of policy but functionality of the software. Praxidicae (talk) 15:30, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

How about redirecting from the IP accounts to my contributions page? CartleR255 (talk) 15:32, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure why this is so important - but that wouldn't be appropriate as IPs cycle. Praxidicae (talk) 15:33, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

What about the template message on [[1]]? CartleR255 (talk) 15:36, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Per the giant notice at the top: As of 2005, edits are no longer reattributed, so this page is no longer active. Is the IP static or dynamic? Praxidicae (talk) 15:36, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

But below that it says that users can redirect if they have a static IP. CartleR255 (talk) 15:38, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

@CartleR255: Reattribution of edits from an IP address is not currently possible due to software limitations. Anonymous user and user talk pages should not be redirected either, as doing so would imply that you are the only person who ever has and who ever will use that IP address. This is almost never the case with residential IP addresses, as they are dynamically allocated, even if they appear to be stable. I would encourage you to focus on making more edits to Wikipedia instead of focusing on the edits you have already made. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:46, 5 April 2020 (UTC) (talk page watcher)

what are the advertising material in Tarik Freitekh so I can remove it.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to review Tarik Freitekh page, as you can see his page was created over 11 years ago but in the the last years his page was vandalized many sources and references were deleted. Please let me know what adverting material you are referring to on Tarik Freitekh page so can delete Many Thanks James Gordon172.8.146.192 (talk) 17:18, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Tarik Freitekh

Hello, I removed the speedy deletion template from Tarik Freitekh because it's not clear that it is nonnotable, there are some sources that show evidence of importance. Please nominate it at WP:AFD.—Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 00:28, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

did you bother to read the tag...at all? Praxidicae (talk) 00:51, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

It said it was unambiguously promotional.—Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 00:52, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

which it is. However your “decline” says it’s for notability. Pick one. 🙄Praxidicae (talk) 00:53, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Tarik Freitekh page has been there for over 10 years. We added hundred of reference to show this is not about money or netWorth, its about all the achievement Mr Freitekh achieved. James Gordan172.8.146.192 (talk) 06:20, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

HI My Article Colive is tagged for speedy deletion could you please let me know the promotional content on the page so I could rectify it.Glittershield (talk) 13:48, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Re possible PAID

Thanks Praxidicae. Mindful of beans, I'm leaning towards COPYVIO (live and deleted uploads on commons, plus other edits), but I understand why PAID is the alternative. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 11:01, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, this is in response to the page on Caps Lock2018.

Hi, this is in response to the page on Caps Lock2018. I would like to confirm to you that I am not being compensated, (in any way) for my edits. All i have is Wikipedia® is a registered trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization. Kindly as well several pages of notable personalities from Uganda which i created where deleted..Sheilah Gashumba and Frank Gashumba yet they are notable personalities and pages where well referenced. Caps Lock2018 (talk) 11:53, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

This is utter nonsense. What does Wikimedia's copyright or trademark have to do with anything? If you're not paid or editing with a conflict of interest, explain how you're conveniently the copyright holder of the images in the articles you've created. Praxidicae (talk) 11:54, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

those photos are free copyrighted. i feel good when i contribute information on the internet. thats all. am a reasearcher, Caps Lock2018 (talk) 12:10, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Quite frankly, that's bullshit. Prove they're "free of copyright" Praxidicae (talk) 12:10, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

How? Caps Lock2018 (talk) 12:17, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

First, by answering my question of how they're you're own work and second by linking where you got them. Praxidicae (talk) 12:18, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

alright. so now am allowed to continue making the edits and page creations Caps Lock2018 (talk) 12:25, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

No because you have yet to actually address the issue and evidence presented. Where are the photos from? Why did you upload them as own work? Who gave them to you? Praxidicae (talk) 12:37, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Sky burg record

Hey editor, I just have the query about the your comment on the drat of sky burg record. How do you exactly claim that the media outlets are actually fake?

Thanks. (Hina bibi HB (talk) 14:06, 7 April 2020 (UTC))

Go read their about me and then do some research. It's fake and run by blackhat SEO firms. Praxidicae (talk) 14:07, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

I just have. I think a on or two maybe as you said can be fake, but not all of them. Especially like Voyage & Respect. I think the profile is meeting the notability criteria. (Hina bibi HB (talk) 14:13, 7 April 2020 (UTC))

You're wrong. Praxidicae (talk) 14:13, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Just by saying that I am wrong, you cannot claim your words. On a very friendly note, I think you need to consider this profile again. Much love & Respect! (Hina bibi HB (talk) 14:15, 7 April 2020 (UTC))

You know you're wrong because we've been through this before. This is paid SEO trash and it's plainly obvious for anyone with critical reading skills. The Voyage group is a pay for publication scam, the rest are just garbage sources. Quite curious why you're asking me about a draft you've never edited though, Hina bibi HB. Did you forget to login to your other account? Praxidicae (talk) 14:16, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

First, two to three days ago, when I was looking to edit new pages when I saw this one. The draft was not submitted for review at that time. I though references like Voyage makes it notable enough. I didn't know what you said that its a scam. I could have tried submitting it for review again. I asked you as you have declined it. (Hina bibi HB (talk) 14:24, 7 April 2020 (UTC))

Deletion of Darren Prince

Hi there,

I would like to know why you are deleting articles that have been asked for help to improve them? I'm new here and been looking for feedback but all I got was notes of deletion.
