Marijuana Dispensary Discussion

Wrongly Edited

Dear Chrisw80,

My intention was not to edit/remove your comment but I wanted to put my point in the discussion; however, when I edited that page and added my comment, it put "Draftify & Weak Keep" automatically!!

Thenafter I tried to remove it but it was designed by computer I guess so I wasn't aware about it.

On the next stage, I kept a note in my talk page which you can see in history of edits if possible. It is as below:

"Whatever changes I have done till the time; they were approved by editors from wiki chat section; An Admin named MajoraWP insisted me to add citing into my articles and interview column which I did via adding 25+ references with in total 40+ references for the page.

Thenafter another admin visits the page and removes that table itself saying that those sources are not falling under 'noticeability'

While discussing with another admin named 'ScorpiouS' regarding the same; he accpeted that MajoraWP might not be familier with all policies!

So in this scenario; I guess there is fault of one of your admin who tried to help me out which is a great thing but due to his/her lack of knowledge, my article and interview section has been deleted.

NOT ONLY THAT BUT CURRENTLY THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN REQUESTED TO DELETE WHERE IT DOESN'T CONTAIN ANY INFORMATION WHICH IS NOT INDICATING NOTICEABILITY!! THUS IT WILL BE COMPLETELY UNFAIR TO REMOVE THIS PAGE WITHOUT AS THERE IS NO FAULT OF THE CREATOR!

I am still trying to make it more appropriate according to wiki stds that's what I can say while creating this page

Palavernier (talk) 05:34, 6 February 2016 (UTC)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_deletion/Abhinay_Banker

So it was lack of knowledge from my side and I don't wanted to edit your comment at all.

Once again, many thanks to support my argument and I hope this page will not be deleted as haven't breach any policies while drafting it.

-PalaVernier Palavernier (talk) 14:10, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello PalaVernier, what MajoraWP, ScorpiuS, and myself have all tried to convey is that the sources must be reliable and independent (WP:RS). Also, for biographies of living persons, there must be comprehensive coverage from these types of sources (WP:BLP). I believe that this is the cause of confusion. Here are some of the unsuitable sources from the Abhinay Banker article:

DNS Syndication Article "Akoopar on national stage" - doesn't have comprehensive coverage
Prakash Gowda Blog - doesn't meet sourcing criteria (it's a blog)
Acktors Theatre Blog - is also a blog and appears to utilize material from the the article's subject (not independent)
AllEvents.in - is only an acting workshop taught by Mr. Banker himself and is also a primary source
DNS Syndication Article "V-Day play to Stage Love Poetry...".

The reviewers see these poor sources (from Wikipedia's perspective) and have legitimate concerns. Sources like this appear to be suitable coverage, however there are very few of these in the article:

Indian Express "An Untold Love Story"

All in all, the more I look at the article and the sources, the less I think that Abhinay Banker is notable per Wikipedia guidelines. I would ask that you please find more reliable sources like the Indian Express source that discuss Mr. Banker and his work in detail. I hope this helps clarify things for you.

Hi, I saw that you have tagged the article as an advert. Can you please mention as to what all section/areas seems like an advert so that i can look into those. Lakun.patra (talk) 17:08, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Lakun.patra, thanks for your message. Sure, my concerns are:

There's a lot of overlinking in the lead. Frankly, the whole sentence "The company deals in e-commerce, mobile applications, cloud computing, digital transformation, business intelligence, data analytics, testing, Agile software development, infrastructure, EAI and ERP, with more than 290 clients and offices in 14 countries." seems complete overkill to me.
Far too much content is sourced from the company's own website or their press releases.

Hope this helps! Chrisw80 (talk) 17:22, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Plip!

You have been minnowed for: Forgetting to put {{archive bottom}} when closing an AfD discussion, and as such temporarily stopping the whole AfD process. Tom29739 ^[talk] 21:07, 15 February 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi Waggie/Archives/2016/February. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war.
If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 01:38, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Coffee, thanks for the kind message. I will do my best, and please trout or whale me if ever needed. :) Chrisw80 (talk) 02:58, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jewjoo (talk • contribs) 09:02, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No need to open another noticeboard discussion about this.. The admins will examine my behaviour carefully as well. If I have erred with regards to Wikipedia guidelines or policies, they will not hesitate to let me know and I will learn from the experience. It's actually stated clearly at the top of the noticeboard page that editors submitting reports will have their own actions scrutinized as well. Chrisw80 (talk) 09:39, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

(Barnstar moved to userpage) Many thanks, UY Scuti! :) Chrisw80 (talk) 12:36, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I won't over-barnstar you (perhaps sometime soon), but I echo UY Scuti's words - keep up the great work there

Draft:FireText SMS

Hi, how do I change the name of the page to FireText? FireText (talk) 12:02, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello FireText, I can take a look at it tomorrow. For now, focus on getting your username changed and improving the article. Chrisw80 (talk) 12:34, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Holly at FireText, let's wait until the review process is complete before changing the article title, no need to muddy the waters right now. Too many moves, too quickly won't help things along. Chrisw80 (talk) 19:55, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

(Barnstar moved to userpage)

Exazonk, thank you for the barnstar and you're welcome! With a charged and controversial topic such as this, I find it especially important to verify citations and sources. If I had really found it necessary, there are plenty of options for dispute resolution available to all editors. In this case, the other editor was actually hurting their case by their behaviour, so I was not that troubled. If you're not familiar with those dispute resolution options, please see WP:DR. Again, if you're not familiar (forgive me if you are), one very important thing to note in dispute resolution discussions is to make a distinction between article content disputes and editor conduct disputes. Getting the two confused can escalate matters (and not in anyone's favor). Also of note is that if I had not remained calm, the outcome of the situation could have been very different. Go browse WP:ANI if you ever want to see how some of these things can go horribly wrong. Best wishes! Chrisw80 (talk) 11:29, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lord's_Prayer#Analysis

The Analysis section says "Subheadings use 1662 Book of Common Prayer (BCP) (see above)" so I changed the text to be consistent with the 1662 text a few lines above (the middle one), which has a source already. I thought my comment briefly said that. Rerevert if you wish or leave it as a mixture of 1662 and 1928 - your choice --86.185.237.167 (talk) 00:46, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded on the IP user's talk page. I screwed up with my revert and reverted the revert. Chrisw80 (talk) 04:35, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Die! Die! Die! url

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your response to my query re the URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die!_Die!_Die!

Yes, the page loads fine for me too, but it is the linking from elsewhere that fails, due to the exclamation marks.

Manually altering the URL to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die%21_Die%21_Die%21 every time anyone wants to insert a link to the page doesn't seem like an ideal solution.

Regards,

Lee McLean o Otepoti 21:40, 23 February 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pliny o Otepoti (talk • contribs)

Hello Pliny o Otepoti, thanks for the response. Changing the title of a page is relatively easy, however changing the title to create the URL you're asking for would violation Wikipedia's article naming policy. Please see WP:NAME. There are some symbols that aren't allowed, but an exclamation is not one of them. There are a variety of other article topics that have exclamations at the end of their names, for instance:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/!WOWOW!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/!T.O.O.H.!

However, giving this some thought, I realized that a redirect would fit within guidelines and I note that there is already a redirect in place at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Die_Die_Die

Perhaps you should point to that instead from your external sites? I hope this helps. Chrisw80 (talk) 21:51, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks Chris. I've got lots to learn :)

Koffucha

Thanks, as I mentioned, I knew how to redirect, but the way you did it the author has no credit for writing about koffucha. WannaBeEditor (talk) 05:03, 25 February 2016 (UTC) Hi WannaBeEditor, I see. Well, credit for authorship is handling in our Page Histories. Please remember that Wikipedia is for everyone. I'm not sure what kind of credit you're looking for, but perhaps it's not like what you think it is. Would it make sense to you to create only a part of an article and then expect credit for the whole thing when you copied most of it from another page? If you create a section on the Kombucha article about Koffucha (providing reliable sources, of course), you will be credited in the page history with creating that section, then others will be able to edit it to improve it if they like. Please see WP:OWN for more information on this. Thanks for replying, please let me know if you have any more questions, I hope I answered this one to your satisfaction. Chrisw80 (talk) 05:27, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am not the author of the Koffucha article, I just patrolled it. I wanted to redirect it to Kombucha while maintaining its revision history so that the original author can take credit for it. WannaBeEditor (talk) 05:33, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there wasn't much there to take credit for, but someone can still get to the page history there if they bypass the redirect. You're welcome to invite the author in question to create the section instead, or pull the content from the history, move it to Kombucha, and credit the author in the talk page on Kombucha if you like. Just please make sure it's sourced! :) Chrisw80 (talk) 05:36, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have already entered Koffucha as a subtitle, and included proper references. WannaBeEditor (talk) 05:41, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Martin Babinec Draft Edits

Thank you for the feedback User:Chrisw80. In working with User:Drm310 I thought I had covered everything for Draft:Martin Babinec. Originally the article was rejected because it was too colorful so I resorted to "sticking with the facts" which now reads like a resume. I'll definitely be joining you in the Tea Room as to not continue down this rabbit hole. I just want to get it right, and with your / everyone's guidance I'm sure that will happen.

Further to your message about an edit I made to The Big Bang (Doctor Who), this was not a test and I have no idea what could have caused you to think so, especially in view of my previous edit to this page and the summaries provided. The word 'inescapable' is being used incorrectly. It is being used in the sense of 'impossible to remove yourself from', when it actually means 'impossible to avoid'. 217.43.31.156 (talk) 08:36, 28 February 2016 (UTC) Hello 217.43.31.156, you are indeed correct. It was my mistake, please accept my apologies. Thank you for taking the time to discuss it with me! Chrisw80 (talk) 18:07, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
