THE THIN GENTILE WONDERS HOW RICKINBALTIMORE INTERPRETS THE PHRASE "A PAGE WITH THIS TITLE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY MOVED OR DELETED"

I also wonder how you know for certain that these profiles are not the same person when NONE of them have ever replied to any OFFICIAL WIKIPEDIA messages posted to their talk pages which have in fact asked such a question of them numerous times...?

Their (and I say "them" when it is clearly one!) TALK pages would appear to suggest many other people have questions in that area too for them (kind of a consensus wouldn't you say?) which they have ignored

Ask them (one person!) yourself RickinBaltimore on their various TALK pages which are bulging with unanswered questions and do get back to me with their (one person again!) reply

Oh and if you'd had a good look at their TALK pages you would have seen their REAL NAME (again one person!) being mentioned clearly in one of the queries about their "sock" puppetry across several accounts.

But I bow to your superior experience in this regard and will simply wait for you to bring the "undo" hammer down on the next "edit" this person posts.

It'll be very easy to spot.

It'll be faker than a 3 dollar bill.

Thin Gentile (talk) 19:38, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Your personal attacks on these editors is getting very old. Editors do NOT have to have a talk page to be "real". I have collaborated with the editors in the past in fact, and if you look at my talk page you'd see that they have commented to me. You need to stop with the personal attacks or you may find yourself blocked. RickinBaltimore (talk) 19:40, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Also, please stop shouting (typing in all caps) in your section headers. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 19:42, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Those warnings are paper trails for a block, you should remove them after the issue is resolved, if you must. Mlpearc (open channel) 18:46, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Usually I'd leave them, but that's a sock of Tikeem Cumberbatch and generally those are a "badge of honor" for him. However I can leave them there in the future if you feel that's the best way to go. RickinBaltimore (talk) 18:47, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

If it was for this specific user then I have no problem. Thanx, Mlpearc (open channel) 18:52, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Not a problem, it's really the only reason I did it. Normally I'd never touch those but that's a....special case. Anyway, thanks for the heads up, appreciate it! RickinBaltimore (talk) 18:53, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Question

Hello Rick. I recently created a page for Brenda Dirk that got deleted because it was a copy from her website due to being a copyright infringement? I am the author of the content, so I am unsure why it was deleted. I understand it should not be an exact copy, but I had yet to go in to edit the content fully and add the references to public sources of the information.

Is there a reason that a person isn't contacted before content is just deleted?

HELLO RICK

NICE TO SEE THAT YOUR OWN PAGE IS PROTECTED FROM VANDALS. I AM NOT SURPRISED SINCE YOU GO AROUND VANDALISING OTHER PEOPLES PAGES.

ARE YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN MALAYSIA? ARE YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM WORK IN PROGRESS?

WHY IS IT THAT OTHER PAGES CLEARLY CONTAINING ADVERTISING ARE ON WIKI, BUT MY PAGE TELLING ABOUT THE WORK DONE BY ONE INDIVIDUAL FOR THE BETTERMENT OF CHILDREN IN MALAYSIA SINCE 1993 WAS DELETED? THIS INDIVIDUAL HAS HAD THE HONOR OF HER SCHOOL BEING OFFICIATED BY THE PRIME MINISTER IN THE YEAR 2000.

THIS LADY WORKS FOR THE COMMUNITY WITHOUT FEAR AND HAS EVEN GONE TO PARLIAMENT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WELFARE OF HUMANITY IN THIS COUNTRY. SHE'S BRITISH, NOT MALAYSIAN BTW:- http://dapmalaysia.org/english/2006/dec06/bul/bul3202.htm

YET OTHERS CLEARLY ADVERTISING ARE CLEARED FOR POSTING ON WIKI, SO DO EXPLAIN YOUR PREMATURE ACTIONS. SEE:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_International_School_at_ParkCity

About the deleted page

Aditi Khanna is an Indian actress who worked up to three movies (like Shorts (2013 film)), and at least dozens of video advertisements for different Indian TV channels, she is also acting in some TV serials. I provided one youtube video as a source, I gave there sufficient sources. She still working as actress and model. I think it was not fair to speedy delete, give some time to users to improve the article. I request you please consider and restore the deleted page Aditi Khanna.

About a page: GuestHouser

Hi Rick, hope you doing well. I need your help about a page that you deleted recently on GuestHouser (deleted at 20:07, 21 November 2016 ). The company is well known company in Travel industry and notable. Big media houses have covered its journey and unique working culture. I request you to reconsider it and add it to Wikipedia. Please let me know how can I help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deepakkparashar (talk • contribs) Deepakkparashar (talk) 09:03, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

I'd be mopre than happy to help you with this. What you need to do is to show how the company meets our notability guidelines by using independent reliable sources that can verify these claims. The article has to be written in a neutral, not promotion at all, but explains what the company is, what it does, and what made it notable. You may want to work on this in your draft space first prior to bringing it to a published article to be sure you have all of your details and sources ready to go. RickinBaltimore (talk) 13:15, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

So, that means I am required to create the page again? Just to bring in your kind notice, I did mention independent sources that talked about the company and its work and how its different in operations. What I am not getting is where did I went wrong in my current article? If you can pin point the issues in my deleted article, that would help me a lot. As this would allow me to understand what I missed and should be included. I used neutral tone for content to the best of my knowledge and used references like business line and economic times that are independent reliable sources. Even Roomorama is such page without any single reference. I appreciate your help and time. Please let me know. Deepakkparashar (talk) 13:40, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

As you might see, I've nominated that page for deletion as well. The page hasn't been sourced in almost a year, and that is a concern. It appears the page was restored to your draft space, which is good to see. What I'd recommend is seeing if you can get articles to show why the company is notable. As it stands now, the sources area ll how there was money for a startup, but that I wouldn't feel gives notability. RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:15, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi ! I left a CSD G11 tag on the Usman W. Chohan page, and you removed it. Would it be possible to have an explanation about it ? The page has been created and modified by the person itself (and all the contribution of this user are about promoting himself by adding links towards his pages in other articles). Almost all the sources of the article are content published by the author on youtube or The Conversation or elsewhere. No other user has contributed to the page... It seems to me that it is a case of auto-advertising (G11). I am not interested in this person in particular, but I am really interested in where wikipedia draws the line regarding this kind of thing. Thank you for your time !

The page is promo-ish I will agree, however there does appear to be enough notability within the sources (not all sources to his pages mind you) to justify not having a CSD. It needs to be cleaned up, I would agree. I see it's also gone to AfD, which I think might be there venue for deletion, should it be deleted. And it hasn't, I'm thinking of a DIFFERENT article. (I need more coffee) I just didn't feel it was enough to warrant a speedy deletion, that's all. RickinBaltimore (talk) 16:28, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Ok, thank you for the explanation ! --PatateVolante (talk) 08:18, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Charlie Zeleny

Hi,

If you have a moment could you take a look at this page. I have been trying to clear out tons of unsourced info and intricate detail so the article will be better sourced and written. An IP has removed the maintenance templates a couple of times and has told me not to edit the page any longer because he thinks I am negative. I told him I am following policy and that unsourced info can be removed at anytime. I think there may be some COI problem or something not sure. Could you take a look? Thanks! Pauciloquence (talk) 15:17, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

I left a note on the talk page to ask the IP if they had a COI with the subject, which they are supposed to do per WP:DISCLOSURE. RickinBaltimore (talk) 16:26, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello RickInBaltimore, thank you for jumping into the difficulty we are having here. There are no conflicts of interest. The issue is that I am trying to update the information using data found on the internet for the subject's page to match other prominent drummers found on Wikipedia. The previous data on this drummer's page is outdated (from 2011) and there are many more sessions and projects of note to be linked to that are biographically worthwhile. Gigs of note that I was attempting to update, but were removed from the page prematurely, include the subject playing Carnegie Hall and The Winter Olympics in Sochi Russia. The formatting and information was done first in previous edits and was physically putting in the individual references for each of the points, but was simultaneously having large chunks of information removed. The Gear section in particular was a Wiki drummer page mainstay that was removed incorrectly as per other drummer's sites.

It unfortunately appears that this page has been negatively targeted by the new editor Pauciloquence while attempting to do the aforementioned updates. In 2 days time the new editor Pauciloquence has targeted edits of over -12,000 words in the article undoing tons of cleaning up and solidly formatting data and layout. It appears as if the editor in question is waiting for any edits I do and immediately changes or undoes each edit as I go along. Multiple attempts to work together positively with the editor to fix each individual issue either pre or post editing were in vain. Questions and concerns were brought up without much dialogue prior to removal of large chunks of entries. No requests were made by the editor to fix individual issues prior to removal of large groups of biographical information. Disagreements have now been ensuing on the validity of sources and more and more error boxes are appearing at the top of the page. It's very difficult to make positive progress on a page that has been deemed well-sourced for over 5 years that won't have an individual editor allow for the page to be positively updated in 2016. This seems like disruptive behavior by the definitions laid out by the Wiki community especially when dealing with a new editor.

As compared to other well respected drummer pages on Wiki, the Charlie Zeleny page currently has more than 4x the valid and current sources (over 40 references) and should no longer need additional citations for verification (most other drummer sites have 6-14 references on well-sourced pages). Most if not all the sources are reliable and accurate. The tone mimics the same vibe as all the other attached Wikipedia pages of other prominent drummers. Any intricate detail found in the article is also similar to the other prominent drummers found in the list below and is perfect for the target audience of other drummers who want to know the detailed biographical information especially particulars of Gear, Credits and Awards. Attempts for me to undo these error boxes at the top of the article were met with threats of blocking/banning citing the 3 strike rule.

I will absolutely spend the rest of the month updating all of the pertinent information, the references and sources, the formatting and make this page worthy of the other drummers in the Wiki community even if it takes 1,000 credible sources.

But I am putting in a formal request to remove the error banners up top and to put a hold on Pauciloquence from editing this page indefinitely so I can fix and finish the rest of the biographical data and put in each individual adequate source reference. That way I can make positive headway on the entire article instead of spending time arguing over the validity of every single source and having the editor in question remove large chunks of updates as I try to update them. Formatting specifically takes a long time and the Gear section being removed was especially disheartening. My recent responses are in relation to trying to defend the page edits from Pauciloquence's constant undoing and editing as I am going along (seemingly overly gung-ho being a new editor).

For reference, here are drummer pages that all have less sources currently than the Charlie Zeleny page of drummers who are associated with the subject on his projects (there are many more to this list of associated drummers if needed):

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Bozzio
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Jarzombek
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Roddy
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Adler
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Minnemann
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Portnoy

Here are other drummer pages with less sources than the current Charlie Zeleny page and similar sources that are being disputed. These pages are existing without any problems whatsoever (and is also a short list of drummers starting with the last name starting with A to use as an example, there are at least another 200 valid drum pages I can reference also):

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Abbruzzese

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinny_Appice
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Aronoff
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Augusto

Just trying to update this page to be equal to the rest of the prominent drummers in the Wiki community. If you have any other ideas or suggestions on how to lay out this page to make it as good as any of the specific linked drummers' pages, please let me know. Also, feel free to give me examples to follow. I want to make this as comprehensive and complete update as possible for the page to be as good as other prominent drummers on Wikipedia for 2017 and beyond. Thank you very much RickInBaltimore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.35.194.25 (talk) 16:30, 13 December 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.35.194.25 (talk)

Discover.org

Hello Rick,

I was drafting the DiscoverOrg page that was deleted before I was finished editing. It was marked as "ambiguous advertising". I would love to make everyone happy in this equation - provide valuable content, make you happy, make DiscoverOrg happy. What are the things that triggered the spam tags? Theresa.potratz (talk) 22:27, 15 December 2016 (UTC) Theresa.potratz

Hi Theresa, looking at the page, it read as a full fledged ad for the company. The company COULD meet WP:CORP, but you need to remove a lot of the promotional text, especially the services and where to purchase them. I would advise you look at some other company pages, read how they are written, and try to keep the page as neutral as possible. RickinBaltimore (talk) 00:55, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
