Rokform AfD discussion

Hi Uzma. I offered a clarification at: Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Corporate_Minion/Rokform

The nature of my COI is that I want it kept, but I requested the discussion to verify if Wikipedia wants the article.

I won't go around bugging folks that vote delete or anything, but I'd hate to see a delete vote because you thought that was my request ;-)

Hey Uzma. My read of astroturfing regulations is that someone is required to disclose their affiliation in any online forum in which they participate to the extent that it is made obvious to readers. So naturally, I would disclose my COI in almost any post I make, unless it is already well-known by likely participants. I could see how this seems excessive compared to what we normally get.

I only paraphrased both views, but am not lobbying aggressively for one outcome or another (or at least not trying to). Since two editors disagreed, I kindly requested a consensus decision is all.

Hope this helps. If you have any Qs, my Talk page is always open. This article is fairly inconsequential, just hoping we could start off on a better foot. Corporate 13:53, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Updating Nadia Ali's Wikipage

Hi Uzma, I have received the proper licensing and picture to upload to Nadia's profile. However, when I try to upload the photo to wikimedia commons I consistently get this error:

Fantasy Cover Image1 of Nadia Ali.jpg There was another file already on the site with the same content, but it was deleted.

What can I do to get around this?

Scrolling lists

Just in case you aren't watching my page, I thought I would respond here.

Thanks for the way to do a scrolling list without using CSS, that's very intriguing. I'm going to run this by the MOS mavens, to see what they think. May not affect you, as you plan it for Commons, but I might want to use it, if it isn't disallowed.

I see that you added the header rows above the table,s but as you realized, the spacing if off, so it doesn't line up well. I'm assuming the default is such that the top of the table will always show when you load, so the only way to lose the row would be to physically scroll down, and if you can do that you can undo that. It would be nice if there was a way to freeze the top rows, but I see it as an improvement even if that's not possible.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 14:37, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

I made a change to Help:Scrolling list, feel free to revert if you don't like it.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 16:19, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

AmericasMart

I removed the citation you recently added to AmericasMart because it did not appear to support the content and seemed to be promotion of a product. If you think I made a mistake, please discuss it on the talk page. Jojalozzo 22:49, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Michael Pollack

"The draft[1] obviously was written with a number of subsections to POV promote philanthropy, views, and other aspects of Mr. Pollack that would not otherwise make it into the article or whose importance would be significantly diminished by being put into perspective were the article written to convey Pollack's life chronologically. "

Please re-visit the discussion. There is no "POV promotion" going on anywhere - the reliable sources (newspaper articles from the Arizona Republic and Phoenix Business Journal) call him a philanthropist and describe his activities in detail. They discuss his childhood, they discuss his politics, and they discuss those seemingly unimportant aspects. Those sections are important because the reliable sources *say* they are important by discussing them. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:39, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
