Am I doing ok?
I was a little upset that you removed all my changes, because I had some minor wording changes that I didn't think you needed to remove. But I understand your concerns about the other stuff I added so I am discussing it on the talk page as you requested. FWIW I'm not out to "get" Hillary. I'm just surprised a lot of the fallout is not in the article. If you read Chris Zilla daily like I do you get a real nuanced picture of this issue as he is all over it.Kneel behind Zod (talk) 16:35, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Uber
I'm trying to complete this submission as part of a school assignment. Please feel free to provide more feedback but I need to have the contribution remain a part of the article. What exactly is wrong with the contribution?

- Please note that "school assignment" is in no way sufficient reason to leave a contribution in place. --Yamla (talk) 12:08, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- I was trying to be kind, but whether this comes from me and other users, or your instructor / advisor, your contribution is far from being suitable as Wikipedia content. I don't know if your assignment is following the Wikipedia:Education program, but that may help. Any meritorious research and writing notwithstanding, it does not meet Wikipedia standards for sourcing and narrative tone. If that means your assignment is incomplete for now, so be it. We can discuss some of the details on the article talk page. - Wikidemon (talk) 16:36, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for your feedback; I apologize if I came off as crass. I've looked into the Wikipedia Education program that you've described to me and am still having some troubles understanding the standards for sourcing and narrative tone. Could you perhaps provide another link that would re-direct me/ allow me to understand what you mean? Vkang054 (talk) 17:02, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with Wikipedia's education program myself. One entry point for new editors is at WP:WELCOME. Most people start out doing little things here and there, not trying to write entire article sections, it's like you're learning to ski on the advanced slope. - Wikidemon (talk) 17:06, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Removal of discussion tags
Hi Wikidemon, I see that you have removed my tagging of a particular statement on Hillary Clinton email controversy which linked to an explicit, ongoing dicussion on the associated Talk page. As you may know, such tagging does not have any immediate practical impact on that content, but does draw readers into the associated review and discussion of the content. A good thing! I believe in good faith this is entirely consistent with Template:Disputed-inline and disagree with your edit summary implication that this is in any way inappropriate. Therefore I have readded the tag to draw in participation from the article's readers. Cheers, UW Dawgs (talk) 05:07, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- So you're accusing me of bad faith? Swell. No, it is not appropriate to tag reliable sources as dubious just because you disagree with them, and as you are aware that has been discussed before. Dispute tags should not be used as leverage in the middle of active discussions. Tagging things you disagree with is a badge of shame on the article, and is not alerting any editors who are not already active in the article to participate. I'll remove again when appropriate. - Wikidemon (talk) 05:12, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- I don't believe I have accused you of bad faith in any way, nor is that my belief. I have not labelled the source "dubious," nor do I believe it to be -that is the non-rendered text name of template initially placed which linked to my three stated points on the Talk page. You may wish to review Template:Disputed-inline#Articles with disputed statements, particularly in context to its stated function in leveraging categorization to draw in additional editors. Cheers, UW Dawgs (talk) 05:42, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Your recent edits at my TalkPage
You may want to consider stepping back, taking a quick breath, and reflecting a little before casting the first stone with respect to your issuing of multiple 'warnings', or making allegations of 'edit warring' or undue 'reverts' by another editor. --- Professor JR (talk) 08:55, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- I was serious about my caution, and have zero interest in any attempt you make to turn the tables with tit-for-tat accusations. You haven't heeded my request to participate in talk page discussion rather than repeatedly reverting in your proposed material. If you can possibly just reform your approach rather than getting into WP:BATTLE mode that would be a lot more productive. Best, - Wikidemon (talk) 08:59, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
A comment
It is our duty to ensure that the content represented on these pages is factually correct. I've worked for that company and done extensive research on it, I feel im more suited to describe it's business model than you are. Step aside and let the big boys handle Uber. you can't seem to handle reporting FACTS and not your opinion
Hey Wikidemon. Sorry, I deleted the content on the other page again. It is extremely bias for Acme, clearly. I noticed that you were the one who did the page for Acme as well. Yaboi9181 (talk) 00:57, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Greetings, Friend Demon!
Hello WikiDemon! You have a rather awesome username yourself, you know! It reminds me of one of my favorite wiki icons, this guy:

I have been going a little hog wild, editing Quora. I'm going to take a break for awhile.
Oink! --FeralOink (talk) 05:26, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
- It's actually something somebody called me once. When I first joined in 2006 or 2007 I called my account "wikidemo" because I was experimenting around with the project to understand how the Wikimedia software worked, and teaching myself PHP, hence a "demo" account as far as I was concerned. Somebody got mad at me once and called me Wikidemon so I changed the name to that. Best, - Wikidemon (talk) 05:29, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Please strike false accusation that I am a SPA
- Wikidemon, I know you are a great editor, but you should strike out your reference to me being a SPA. I am certainly not a SPA. As I state on my Talk page( since May), I am a new incarnation of Mr. Grant Evans 2 having twice forgotten my password (I'm a reaaaly old guy), as has been addressed and agreed to several times before, for one, here. I do not know why this mis-characterization keeps coming up? Muboshgu, Cwobee1, Scjessey, all know I am not a SPA. Nocturnalnow (talk) 17:37, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

thank you, no really
you just criticized me (nonregistri dhortali)with the well worded
"embark on a campaign against user-generated content sites run for a profit, a singularly ironic act of luddism if there ever was one."
Now, complimenting satire is hard, it being likely the grateful is being ornery, so instead two questions, why do you think it luddist?
rantresurgo: to me it (user generated content for some ones profit where the content creators get nil) seems, radically unlike Wikipedia, genuinely exploitative in a vein of criticism inspired by Jaron Lanier. (i suspect a market-capitalism=innovation type argument, is this unfounded?) Secondly, could you recommend sites more suitable for embarking on a aggregatorian campaign for encyclopedic luddite protest? tvtropes?

Thanks for uploading File:Impossible is nothing.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Thanks for uploading File:PayPal Mafia.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:19, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

- (talk page stalker)I saw I was pinged by TWC at AN3, but had my granddaughter over and was unable to chime in. She only lets me on my laptop if I'm watching Elmo or playing that Frozen song on YouTube. In any case, seems as if it has died down a bit, and that's probably a good thing. I do appreciate the attempt to insert a compromise edit mentioning the issue even though I thought it better, per both NPOV and Weight issues, it stay out. It was a good faith attempt to collaborate with the other editors who insist on a mention. Have a great day! Dave Dial (talk) 19:41, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

I'll point out that I didn't file the request, and in my comment the sanction I asked for was a warning rather than anything serious. This particular kerfuffle is minor, but it is part of a pattern that has been going on for months now (possibly longer). Gaijin42 (talk) 13:49, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- "It's part of a pattern" is the new passive aggressive way of calling someone disruptive. -- Scjessey (talk) 15:48, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- Lets take out the passivity then. I think your reflexive reverts are disruptive. You don't have to agree with people, but you do have to accept that you are in the minority on some issues and accept consensus. Everything negative about clinton is not a blp violation. Your opinion that something is not need to be included. But so are the opinions that it should be. Forcing every sentence to go through an RFC or mutli day back and forth is disruptive. There are true violations out there. Save your ammunition for them. Gaijin42 (talk) 15:52, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- Naturally I disagree with your characterization of my edits. On BLP articles, you cannot have violating material. It is incumbent upon editors to remove BLP violations whenever spotted, and such removals don't count toward 3RR. And frankly, from where I'm sitting you are part of a "pattern" of tag-team edit warring with editors who share your biases on these articles. Anyway, apologies to Wikidemon for defacing his talk page. -- Scjessey (talk) 15:58, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- I agree Wikidemon's page is probably not the right venue for this. I'm happy to move it to your page or mine. Your comment gets right to the crux of the issue "you cannot have violating material. It is incumbent upon editors to remove BLP violations". BLP Violation is not defined as "Scjessey doesn't like it". ZigZag has made plenty of talk page comments that are likely violations. OR at least proposals that would be violations if put into the article. A story covered by every major source in depth is WP:WELLKNOWN. perhaps recentism , but recentism is not a blp violation (and its just an essay as you argue elsewhere). Gaijin42 (talk) 16:05, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- You keep saying things like "Scjessey doesn't like it" but that's not it at all. I only take a stand on material I think is particularly egregious, either because of what it says or how it says it. The two of us worked together to refine the "hacking" section in the HRC email controversy article that seemed to satisfy us both, but despite that I now find that you are using it as an example of my "pattern" of poor behavior. Can you see why I am feeling somewhat aggrieved? -- Scjessey (talk) 16:28, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Wikidemon! (and anyone else who is reading this)
I just found out that Tarc was banned.
As you and everyone else here knows, I always saved all the Obama stuff that I added to Obama's articles, which always ended up getting erased.
I have compiled all of that, and much more that I have written about Obama, into a 465 page amazon kindle book, which is available at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E4U36NE.
I had wanted to give it away for free, but they made me charge 99 cents. And that's understandable, because they need a way to pay for the cost of hosting the book.
However, if you click on the words "look inside" on the image of book's cover, you can read a free preview, which is quite substantial in size.
I am happy for everyone to review the book, as long as they have read at least the free preview. Negative reviews are perfectly welcome, as long as they cite specific reasons for their criticism. So far, there are five reviews, and they are all positive. I think honest liberals who read the book will have to admit that the book is factually correct, no matter how biased they think the author might be.
Sincerely, banned wikipedia editor User:Grundle2600
P.S. Since this is Wikidemon's talk page, please let Wikidemon be the one who decides whether or not this message gets erased.

Wikidemon - BIRTHPACE CITIZENSHIP Summary Section: Please answer these questions about you deletion of content on 6/30/2016:
1) You claimed that non-neutral language was used. Isn't the correct editor behavior on your part to revise the language to make it more neutral? (Policy does not allow editors to act in an arbitrary way to suppress objective treatment of opposing viewpoints on controversies).
2) How would you evaluate the relevance of summarizing the society-wide disagreement over BC policy in the summary? Is there any justification for trying to squelch the information revealed by the Rasmussen 2011 survey? Do you have a reason to question the scientific accuracy of the result? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbierre (talk • contribs) 00:28, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

RfC
Just a note that the Clinton RfC section on AN will go away by bot at some point. So if you wish to formally challenge the RfC you should start a new section at WP:AN. That said, yes closures like that are commonly closed by non-admins (and in fact the request for closure just asked for an experienced editor) and while it wasn't a SNOW case, it wasn't difficult to find consensus there. Hobit (talk) 03:09, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Hobit: Okay, thanks for the clarification. Though I disagree with your reasoning, I don't dispute its fairness so as long as the process is correct I wouldn't want to prolong it with a review.

Frank Marshall Davis is Obama's father
![Stop icon](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f1/Stop_hand_nuvola.svg/30px-Stop_hand_nuvola.svg.png)
Your recent editing history at Frank Marshall Davis shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
---
You have reverted the same material three times at Frank Marshall Davis within a four-hour period:
A few seconds after the third revert, you blanked the topic in question despite knowing that at least four other editors within the last week have desired to retain it:
On the article's talk page, you leveled insults:

- No, it's a BLP issue. Please don't promote racially-tinged conspiracy theories about Barak Obama's "real" father. If you have an issue with it, bring it to an administrative or BLP noticeboard. Also, for what it's worth, I intended "nutcase" to describe the conspiracy theory not you. Sorry if my use of adjectives was unclear. - Wikidemon (talk) 14:48, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- You need to read all of BLP, especially WP:PUBLICFIGURE.
- Playing the 'race card' is a foolish tactic when the most notable personage supporting the theory is the President's own full-blooded Kenyan half-brother. You're just not thinking this through at all.
- Alerting the noticeboards is the third step. Delivering a warning was the second step. Attempting to reason with you in the article was the first step.
- When you wrote, "Okay, so you're a nutcase conspiracy theorist. Wikipedia isn't the place for that idiocy."[2] it was clear that you were insulting someone. Selective amnesia is not going to be your ally here.--Froglich (talk) 04:29, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

User:Light2021 redux
I've tried giving this user plenty of time and latitude to learn how our deletion policies and process works, but I don't see much improvement since the discussion on their talk page. One one hand, Light2021 has appropriately identified a few articles about companies that were deleted with a solid consensus. One the other hand:
- many, perhaps half, of the nominations clearly lack WP:BEFORE
- sending an article back to Afd less than a month after it had survived AfD with a "no consensus" !vote
- attempting to speedy an article that had survived one of his AfD nominations
- blatant misuse of the WP:HOAX template ([3], [4], [5]), and
- the user's limited command of English leads to word-salad nominations that appear to be copy-paste fragments of miscellaneous deletion policies, with very little variation between the nomination content.
Several other users (User:Davey2010, User:Ronhjones, User:Northamerica1000), have recently expressed similar concerns. I think this user should be given a deletion-related topic ban, but before I take it to ANI I'd like to run it by a few others. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:29, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- As this warning is coming from Admin. need admin help. Either this admin has clear bias or have clear Regret that once he unblocked me. His actions are clearly not in interest of Neutral. Making. As far as the AfD are concerned. I have few things to share AfD% . I am not denying My AfD sometime be questioned as it is obvious process. as others are not keen on making this Wikipedia Great. But another website to promote themselves. I do read articles, as being accused by this admin or mentioned admin or being accused of . Speedy Deletion or AfD people are not very likable though. Wikipedia:Why I Hate Speedy Deleters As it is clearly written on Wikipedia itself. So I have no hard feeling that few people feel such a way. I am here to make this platform what it truly is and grave danger has been presented by so many Spam and garbage written on Wikipedia.
Better to decide by Admins. As Warning is not new. Complete Misuse and Blatant degree of promotional article are filling Wikipedia with garbage. Immediate attention are required. Where we are forgetting why such platform even exist in a first place. ONE PARAGRAPH about company profile does not make it Encyclopedia material, even using few media sources to cite. Highest degree of PR placed to build SEO and Online reputations. I am merely taking few Strict measure. I am not in denial mode that such warning will not be given to me.
My suggestions to go to UrbanClap page and every page that I have given warning to using wrong AfD. You will find seriously nothing like an Encyclopedia material, but blatant degree of promotions for company or people. and nothing else. One paragraph or few lines to write about their own saga using media references.
- As written that My English is poor, I am using same writing. Such blatant promotions does not even deserve anyone time. Only copy-paste job is done well. Why to waste writing with different words, where the concerns are same. Is it wrong being smart there or wasting not my time on writing different comment. Where it is required I am doing everything I can.
Light2021 (talk) 15:39, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Ohnoitsjamie: Came for the admin help request, stayed for the word salad. He's "here to make this platform what it truly is"? That says it all with blue cheese dressing and croutons. I'd support the topic ban and I think you should go to ANI with it. Katietalk 15:50, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- [ec] said better than I could. Non-fluent editor with WP:COMPETENCE issues, slings erratic combinations of strung together English words and Wikipedia policies and guidelines, invokes many inapt, time-wasting deletion discussions, stridently incorrigible attitude about improving. - Wikidemon (talk) 16:03, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- I tried deleting the AfD for DealDash, as it's not worth going through a full close procedure. However, that might have broken a few things. Is there any kind of tool or simple shortcut for rapidly closing, deleting, or otherwise cleaning up disruptive AfD nominations before they waste too many other editors' time? - Wikidemon (talk) 16:16, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- At this point I have reverted your edits to DealDash and the AFD. If there is an ANI that says something that needs to be linked or it needs to be closed with a proper speedy keep rationale. -- GB fan 16:19, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- Why on earth did you do that? The question at hand is how to quickly get rid of disruptive nominations. If you have any expertise in the matter, could you please point out a quick process for doing that? - Wikidemon (talk) 16:24, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- I did it because you did break things and did not provide a good reason the AFD should not run its course. You said anyone should look at a pending ANI discussion for the reason why. There is no information in a pending ANI discussion. If you can show that the AFD meets one of the speedy keep reason then we can close it down. You do not just get to close down an active discussion with a pending ANI discussion. -- GB fan 16:27, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- I am more than willing to get the AFD closed properly as I do know how to do it. I have looked at the reasons for speedy keeping an article from AFD, but I do not see one that fits this case. If you can show me which one fits I will close it. -- GB fan 16:40, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry about breaking things. That's why I was asking for help. I'm not asking for approval, and I'm willing to do it too, but your help is appreciated if you're willing. How would one describe shutting down bad serial nominations made by an incompetent editor rather than wasting countless hours of editor time by following an unnecessarily process to its conclusion? If I had to name a policy it would be WP:SNOW, WP:IAR, WP:BURO. If you want something within the framework of AfD, that's described in WP:SK#NOT. My question is whether there is way faster than a standard close to remove bad AfD nominations before they get out of hand. If a speedy keep the most efficient viable way of doing it, so be it. - Wikidemon (talk)
- I see another editor has already done this.[6] Thanks for engaging, though. I think the number of bad nominations from this particular editor is manageable enough to use SK, maybe five or ten active ones. But on occasion you get mass nominations that need to be reversed en masse. - Wikidemon (talk) 16:58, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Stop Reverting my Edits
- Wikidemon on your personal issue. Do not go on removing every edit I make on Wikipedia. You are disrupting process merely the DealDash like one using this as references. Where you desperately want to keep that pathetic Scam by doing any kind of thing. Because of removing A7 from that Blatant degree of Promotional blog. Community time will be wasted.
you are here to disrupt or either Revert edits for his own personal gain. you have no value to add on this article. Still removed A7 just merely I nominated it. I am seeking option to take strict actions against you for such highly biased and disruptive behavior and continuously making harassment on my edits. You are wasting my time doing all kind of Drama and non-sense. You have left me with no other choice than such answers from my ends. 04:16, 7 November 2016 (UTC)Light2021 (talk)
- If you wish to keep editing the English encyclopedia you should give some thought about what other editors find wrong with your attitude, approach, competence, and behavior towards others. If you don't, you will probably not be editing much longer. Cheers, - Wikidemon (talk) 04:40, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!
Hello, Wikidemon. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
Clinton Foundation
![Stop icon](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f1/Stop_hand_nuvola.svg/30px-Stop_hand_nuvola.svg.png)
Your recent editing history at Clinton_Foundation shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially, because the page is currently under restrictions from the Arbitration Committee, if you violate the one-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than one revert on a single page with active Arbitration Committee restrictions within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the one-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the one-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.ThaiWanIII (talk) 20:23, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
- You are wrong. I made a single revert. My second edit was to add and organize content, and did not revert any prior edit. Also, templated edit warring notices are lazy. Please respect WP:DTTR by using talk pages for their proper purpose, to discuss things. - Wikidemon (talk) 23:31, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
Truce
I am willing to continue directing my efforts toward achieving neutrality so long as you are ready to cease the personal attacks and rededicate yourself to helpful and productive discussion. The WP:OWN stuff is tremendously counter-productive. Bullying others and insisting that they "get off" of pages is not only insulting, it is a violation of numerous WP guidelines. Let's work together on this project instead of going after each other. Hidden Tempo (talk) 05:30, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- I have not owned any articles, made personal attacks, bullied, or been nonproductive, so I offer no changes there. If you're truly ready to contribute productively to the articles, then sure, we can discuss any reasonable proposals, whether to improve articles or any other encyclopedia purpose. - Wikidemon (talk) 05:36, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Borges
Where did you stumble on the info about the fake Borges forward to Asbury? That's pretty wild. Kendall-K1 (talk) 07:55, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Kendall-K1: The article simply mentioned that Gangs of New York was republished in 2002 with a Forward by Ashbury. That seemed wildly improbably because Borges was had been dead for 15 years at that point, and dead authors tend not to write new material. It also seemed unlikely that he wrote a forward to the original run of the book in 1928 because he was a young author and not well known in America then. Intrigued, I started googling and following Wikipedia citations. The best source I found was the one I cited in my edit.[7] Borges, who was incredibly well read in a wide variety of books in many languages from all over the world, had apparently been amused by Gangs of New York, and used it as source material for a chapter in his book A Universal History of Infamy about Monk Eastman, an Irish gangster. The Asbury book was republished in connection with the film Gangs of New York. The publishers, apparently not convinced that Martin Scorcese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis, Cameron Diaz, and Liam Neeson were enough of a draw, or Asbury's wild and entertaining prose style, I guess they thought that mentioning Borges would help sales by attracting some literary types. So they republished some (or all?) of the Borges chapter, making up that it was a forward to the book. Now I want to read the Borges book. - Wikidemon (talk) 01:54, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Gurbaksh Chahal
Hello Wikidemon. Long time, no see. Can you adjudicate something for me? User [96.8.1.44] appeared on Wikipedia yesterday and proceeded to white-wash the article about Gurbaksh Chahal. Chahal is a repeated domestic violence offender. User 96.8.1.44 has not contributed to any Wikipedia article except Chahal's. He has been trying to remove or play down any reference to domestic violence in the Chahal article.
Meantime, and not coincidentally, user Jui89 has also appeared recently to downplay Chahal's domestic violence record at Gravity4, the name of a company Chahal founded.

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Duckhorn Vineyards. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:
|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]
Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:
|image=SomeImage.jpg
.
There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption
. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Help with article?
Hi,
I noticed you're a member of the Wiki Project for Private Equity. I wonder if you'd be willing to help me out by reviewing Draft: Fifth Wall Ventures for publication. It's a VC-firm focused on real estate with about $200m under management.
Although I am an experienced Wikipedia editor and aways try to abide by the five pillars, in this case I have a conflict of interest (disclosed on the Talk page), so Wikipedia policy requires that all my work be reviewed by an independent editor before it's published. I'd be glad to do any additional work you think the article requires.

Hi there!
A loooong time ago (2007) you created the croxetti article to describe a type of Ligurian pasta. There is however also a corzetti one that predates it by a couple of months only.
Thing is, all the literature I could find indicates that both variants are interchangeable, as indeed both pasta have the same shape and geographical origin. I suggested that both pages be merged, but I wanted to let you know first in case you had any specific info about that. You can pitch in either here, on my talk page, or on either of the articles' talk pages. Thanks! Popo le Chien throw a bone 08:08, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

User page redirects
Hi Wikidemon. My name is Andrew and I work in Communications at Eat JUST, Inc.. I previously edited from User: Anoyes411 and User:Andrew4111, running afoul of Wikipedia’s Terms of Use in my ignorance. Since I cannot log into those accounts, I believe I am supposed to add redirects from those user pages to mine, but I am not allowed to because I am not auto-confirmed yet. I saw that you edited the Just page previously and was wondering if you could help me out by adding redirects on those user pages to mine. Anoyes202 (talk) 22:05, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Axos Financial page edits?
I disclosed a conflict of interest and shared some proposed edits to the Axos Financial page a month or two ago. Editors addressed the overt BLP issues regarding criticisms of the CEO, but I was still hoping for some other changes that haven’t been considered yet. I noticed you were in WikiProject Finance and Investment and thought you might be the right person to ask to take a look at a bank page. Would you be willing to review the proposed changes?

Hi, There is a flag on the article for Temu (company), the most downloaded iPhone app in the United States the last few months. [8] I work there so I have a COI.

Huh?
I thought Mzoli's Meats was created by Jimbo though
Why is it listed under pages you created? Z!t!@n«T@1k» 02:28, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks for noticing. I recreated that one after it had been deleted as non-notable. I don't remember if I rebuilt it from scratch or if I found some remains in google's archive. A few of the other pages on my list are like that, that was one of my Wikipedia hobbies back then. I would find articles that had been deleted unfairly or because they were poorly written, and I would re-introduce them out of process in a way that I thought would work. And there are a few pages I started that were deleted, and then recreated by someone else. Meanwhile, there were "deletionists" who found as much delight in deleting other people's work as I did restoring it, probably more so because it was Jimbo's article. Silly Wikipedia process games. It's been a long while. - Wikidemon (talk) 08:23, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
