Please stop the harassment

If you have something you want to discuss with me, feel free to do it. If you just want to make a point about something I've done, find somewhere other than my talk page to do it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:55, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Walter Gorlitz's hyper vigilant interest in the Chris Carmichael (musician) page

Walter Gorlitz appears to be hyper vigilant with respect to the content and existence of this page. Why? Looking at the Allmusic discography of Chris Carmichael, (almost 700 credits) it includes multi Grammy winning recordings and Gold and Platinum records too numerous to mention. Looking at Walter Gorlitz's history as a contributor, it seems that he has been through this before many times - seemingly picking cyber fights with pages that have a rightful place to exist. But because he "is not quite so sure", is stubbornly ready to wage a battle on a page that has existed for years with contributions from varied Wikipedia users. The Chris Carmichael (musician) page is connected to many other artists and linked to various other categories. It seems that he rather enjoys these confrontations. Because I reverted some boxes (the notability and citations boxes were bundled and therefore could not be removed individually) he now deems the entire page worthy of deletion. This is clearly an unnecessary "ramping up" of his hostility and unilateral opinion. While I agreed that the page could use some more citations, I pointed out that they were already noted in the article. When I pointed out that I and evidently other Wikipedia contributors deem the page to be clearly within the realm of notability, he promptly put the page up for consideration of Deletion - seems extreme and unnecessary Magoobin (talk) 14:54, 11 September 2014 (UTC)Magoobin[reply]

Incidentally, the "harassment" mentioned above by Walter Gorlitz was merely my posting the above comments to the wrong "talk" page - (his)

My apologies to Mr. Gorlitz for the mistake. I appreciate his dedication to quality assurance at Wikipedia, but the ramping up of his actions against me penalizes someone else and isn't fair. Magoobin (talk) 15:04, 11 September 2014 (UTC)Magoobin[reply]

I responded on the article page to the items related to the article.

If your posting the above comments happened once on my talk page, I could understand, but you restored it after I removed it, and did so without explanation. It clearly didn't belong on my talk page. An exact copy of the above also doesn't belong on the article's talk page, so I removed parts of it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:31, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You need to add a simple, policy- or guideline-based response at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Carmichael (musician).

Since your main point is that the subject meets WP:MUSICBIO No. 10, state that without a long list of prose, and a link to a reliable source that supports that statement. The admin who closes the AfD will not likely look at what you've written on the subject's talk page, and certainly will not read your two essays.

Thank you kindly, Walter!

Best wishes,

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Magoobin. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Chris Carmichael (musician), you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. You have not edited any material on Wikipedia that did not involve Chris Carmichael. At the very least, that makes you a WP:SPA. Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:39, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
