Notice of noticeboard discussion
I would put the RfC together …but I don't know what these 'better sources' are that you are referring to. They should be presented for assessment or the issue dropped. Humanengr (talk) 05:01, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Nice list. We have been doing some other work about dubious reference material and its coordinated use at WP, some discussion about how we can work with this at User talk:Praxidicae/fakenews, and noting that I can do some of that configuration for COIBot reports. Let me ping @Vexations, Praxidicae, and ThatMontrealIP: to your build. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:53, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
Moving comments out of an RfCDon't accuse me of moving comments out of an RfC, as you did here. It is clear that all I did was to move a section in its own right into the discussion about the RfC, and add it as a sub section, here. It was never in the RfC for me to move it out. - SchroCat (talk) 22:04, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
Multiple Edits - mostly foxchronicle.comRonz Thank you for your help. I see that you are a very experienced editor so I am thankful for feedback and I know you are also acting in good faith. The source is reliable and you seemed to have deleted several of my edits without thorough review. The edits are supported in other reliable sources as well on Wikipedia. For example, a similar statement was made on Billy Corben's page, the director of the documentary, Cocaine Cowboys: "After a limited theatrical release in 2006, Cocaine Cowboys became the highest-rated documentary ever on the Showtime cable network.[4]" This has already been on Wikipedia and is supported by the studio Magnolia Pictures and it is supported by the producer and network - how can we get more reliable than that? You may not be familiar with the source and I did many helpful and good faith edits quickly. You seem to have judged too quickly because you believe I am a new editor. The source is very reliable and is quoted for writing political, religious, and educational news as opposed to entertainment news. I would appreciate if you would revert these changes. I can demonstrate the same information for the multiple deletions and I hope that is not necessary. SaltySnow (talk) 04:54, 6 February 2020 (UTC)SaltySnow
You are correct. That was my error. I simply was not aware that other wiki pages were not reliable and I didn’t notice the edit. I appreciate your guidance and I will make sure it doesn’t happen again. I guess that’s the only way to learn. SaltySnow (talk) 16:45, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Fox ChronicleI did some digging and I found this - I think its credible but you are definitely more advanced than me. About Fox Chronicle Fox Chronicle delivers award-winning original reporting and sharp opinion in the area of politics, pop-culture and humor. The Fox Chronicle is based in Luxembourg and was originally funded by RTL Communications and Switchover Media of Italy, under the Fox Kids Italy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SaltySnow (talk • contribs) 04:50, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

I am contacting you in response to this. I would like to inform you that, yes, I am a newcomer and I am enrolled in a COM 482 course at my Univeristy in Seattle Washington. This course has an assignment called, "Project #1" in which we're to edit Wikipedia Stub articles for hopes of improving them. As I worked very hard to draft this edit, but also I am still trying to understand all the spects of Wikipedia as it is not easy to grasp all at once first hand, so I appreciate you pointing out things I should be aware of. Based on your feedback, I am understanding that I should remove my references of iTunes, YouTube, Sound Cloud. At first I thought this was okay since I looked at many other articles of artists and most seemed to include these types of references as well. Anywho, let me know if there's any other explainations you could provide me with on what is there I should adjust. Thank you.

Pamxz (talk) 22:40, 19 February 2020 (UTC) Janet DuboisThe sources may differ on year of her birth but if she had a child (Raj) who died in 1987 at age 36, it means Raj born around 1951. So most likely 1932 is correct year, because the odds of her giving birth at 19 is more realistic than at 13 or 6. Also Raj must not have been the youngest of 4 kids (as listed) unless Janet had 4 kids by the age of 19. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:6000:6A48:9700:1828:C6F4:CEE7:CB63 (talk) 22:45, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Undeleting a Wikipedia pageHi Hipal/Ronz, Thanks for the welcome message from where I got link to this talk page. New to wikipedia and have done only 2-3 pages. Got a page deleted entitled "Shweta Shalini" for being promotional about Biographies of Living Persons. Can you help to retain it back so that I can rectify my mistakes ? Or guide me to who deleted it so that I can request for the same Praveen u menon (talk) 19:02, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
That certainly went from 0 to 100 quickly! Please see User talk:Johnuniq#Advice on RfC proposal for more details on what motivated my initial deletion of the promotional content at Edison, New Jersey. If you'd like to collaborate on crafting an RfC I'd appreciate it. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:15, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
Michael GregerI don't understand why you are removing what I've added on Dr. Michael Greger's page. I have been following his work for years and his nutrition research has saved family member's lives. I noticed that his Wikipedia page was missing a lot of information - I was under the impression that people could update the page. I have not added any false information and everything I added is cited. I spent several hours working on this and finding all the proper sources, why remove it all? — Preceding unsigned comment added by IamBellaRosa (talk • contribs) 05:47, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
Andy GrossI am confused why you decided to revert my edit of this article to a misquoted and incomplete older edit. The page, as it currently stands, is not only far less informative of the events that transpired and made national media headlines, but is also blatantly false, a fact you would have been able to determine by actually reviewing the sources I added. Everything on the page was properly cited and factual, again qualities that are not shared by your edits. I wish to settle this dispute in as civil of a manner as possible, which is why I am writing to you rather than simply reverting your edits.Nucleartaco123 (talk) 06:09, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Ja`net Dubois/birth infoActually I do have a source of referenced info but I failed to include it in the edit at the time. Ms.Ja`net Dubois`s official death certificate was made public and confirms her date of birth to be 08-05-1932. With this confirmed information, Ms. Dubois`s date of birth should no longer be an issue for confusion.

Bhad BhabieWhy do you keep removing my edits on the Bhad Bhabie page? Everything that I put on there is truthful and 8 even added references to please you, yet you still take it all down. If you so want to, you can find her single Get Like Me on every streaming platform, it’s even on her discography list so don’t take it from her career. You can download her game “Ride or Die” on google play or the App Store now, and you can find her freestyle “Yikes” and her song “$” on her YouTube page. It is all there with truthful references, why do you keep taking it down? It is important information as someone might want to know her recent singles, and with the facts on the page right now they would think that it is “Spaz" when it is really "$". They might want to know about her hiatus and if it has ended or not, with the current information on the page there isn’t even ANY mention of a hiatus except for the title “2019: Bringing Up Bhabie and hiatus". Key word - hiatus. If here was a mention of hiatus which was my edit that you deleted, they would know that she wore box braids on an Instagram live that got her backlash for cultural appropriation and she took a mental health break, but she later returned with the “Yikes” freestyle. You might want to know if she has a game out or not, by the current information there is no mention of a game, but really she has one out now. Please stop changing my edits as they are very helpful.

Trish ReganMs. Regan did not say cv-19 was a Democratic hoax; she said the Democratic response to the virus was an attempt to impeach the president. The header was updated to reflect this. (refactored - this sentence was originally the title of this section --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 17:11, 6 April 2020 (UTC)) I am not sure why you changed my entry. The change I made was not a "change in emphasis"; it was a change in fact. The original stated that Ms. Regan was calling the pandemic a hoax perpetuated by the Democrats. However that is not the case. She was stating that the Democratic response was a hoax, not that the pandemic was a hoax. These are entirely different, and not simply a change in emphasis. The reference was included because it had a transcript of her remarks; it was done in order to verify that the original (and now current) write up is incorrect. I agree it is a progressive rag, but that is the point; if it were a conservative site, one might dismiss it. And, of course, the header states that references are needed. I would be interested in your take on this. Thanks,

Membrane BioReactorHello Hipal, I am from the university of Tarragona (Universitat Roviri i Virgili), attending a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering; the aim of the project for the course of Membrane Separation is to improve the wikipedia page of Membrane Bioreactor. Me and my team selected also references from marketsandmarkets, gminsight and the aim of the section was not only about the future perspective, but also on the past/present (based on data which can be consulted from the references put into the wikipedia section). The proposal is to improve the market frameworks, since we have seen the sentence about previsions in 2010, we thought that the aim of the section could have been the future forecast, but now is clear that we need to focus on past events and give an historical perspective. Our idea is to create a section based on past and present information, describing the market of MBR that we thing it could fit very well in wikipedia. Thanks a lot, we hope for your answer as soon as possible because we have a deadline very soon.

The last source I used was the Ethnicity of Celebs page, https://ethnicelebs.com/hugh-obrian, and you took it out and said in might be a circular source.

no conflict of interestDear Hipal, Hello, I am kindly asking you to reconsider rejecting my edits due to possible conflict of interest; there is no such thing. I am a researcher in the field of market research, and I am integrating valid peer-reviewed published knowledge into the appropriate fields for scientific dissemination. I do not promote any organization, but instead, I am summarizing real, valid and up-to-date factual research findings. If valid researchers cannot update their relevant fields of expertise, then who can do that? Thank you for taking the time.
Who wrote that?Hipal and stalkers, I think I'll add this here at the bottom, rather than in the thread above where I noticed you talking about WikiBlame,[8] in the hope that more people will notice it here. WikiBlame has become kind of old school. There's a much smoother new tool on Mediawiki called "Who wrote that?". You need to use Chrome or Firefox for it, though. See [9].

I can edit further based on your action; I'd just feel more confident doing it after you've set up how it can be done. Thank you! --Iamnemonic (talk) 20:45, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
When you move an article into draft space, because it is an undersourced BLP or for any other reason, it leaves a redirect from article space to draft space. Please tag the redirect for speedy deletion as R2. I have tagged Patricia Newcomb for deletion. By the way, I agree with your action in draftifying the page. I would have accepted it in draft space if it were a biography of a dead person, which it is not. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:09, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcoming but I'm been here for yearsHi Hipal Thank you for your comment. I've been editing in wikipedia in 3 different languages for a few years already. Unfortunately my job doesn't give the time I'd like to expend editing but I do know how WP works. As for the warning about conflictive articles, thanks once again. I have some experience in that matter also and it also happens that Kiki Camarena case got my attention 15 years ago and I have read a lot about this chapter and many others of the WoD in Mexico and USA, both in English and Spanish, so really, don't worry, I'll handle it. One last thing: please, before reverting an edition and instead of letting a default comment in my talk, better participate in the talk of the article in order to discuss the best options. Sincerely, --Cocedi (talk) 15:35, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi Hipal! This is a response to my talk page where you asked about COI for my edits on The National Interest magazine. For the record, there is no Conflict of Interest, I have not accepted any fees, and I have nothing to do with the magazine. Regarding the "notable contributors" section which you keep deleting: the first undo you did was for citing too many sources closely related to the article, which I, in hindsight, agreed with. I replaced the sources with independent third-party ones, which you've now deleted again. For reference, please look at the Wikipedia article for Foreign Affairs magazine, which is not just more renowned, but also has a section on contributors, using at times language I would deem highly promotional in nature. I tried basing my edit off of that, and compared to the article on Foreign Affairs, my edits are not a unique exception of dreamt-up COI. If you think I am soapboxing or advertising, then lets move this to the talk page of the specific article and get a third or even fourth opinion from other editors. If there is consensus reached that they prefer your edits, then I rest my case completely. Although I am technically new here, and your time at Wikipedia and seniority is both longer and more respected, it is no grounds for you to keep undoing my edits. I suspect we're both trapped in a highly subjective opinion of what constitutes soapboxing in this article. In my opinion, contributors to a magazine are definitely worth mentioning in an objective, neutral way, because a magazine is nothing without their contributors. Although I've agreed with many of your edits, I do not think its valid to completely undo all of mine as you've now done twice. Instead, a targeted approach to solve the issues you believe exist are more valid. If you and I can't resolve this ourselves, please summon additional editors, preferably at random.

Spector951 (talk) 23:19, 15 September 2020 (UTC) I was disappointed to see all of my work on the Sandra Lee page deleted. The kwanza paragraphs do not strike me as achieving balance or appropriate weight. They seem to be a case of undue weight. Accordingly that section reads more like a sneering, snobby opinion piece by someone with an axe to grind instead of NPOV. Does not seem to be the perspective of an encyclopedia.. Rather, it looks like online "gossip girl." I am interested in your reasoning. Further, she is a person who has been recognized for philanthropy and other contributions to public life. Why did you delete all of that? 72.79.51.201 (talk) 23:59, 15 September 2020 (UTC) now logged in. Spector951 (talk) 00:01, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
I will read the article talk page concerning the Kwanza incident. I wonder how one episode in her lengthy television career can be worthy of such a large portion of this bio. However, in due course, I will go and read that discussion. I wonder whether that discussion will justify allocating 43% of the Career section (and this woman has had a remarkably successful sales and media career over three decades) to one episode, and in that text, using primarily biased and insulting quotes from flame-throwing and unbalanced self-promoters. Does the kwanza cake episode really reflect over 40% of what she has accomplished in more than 30 years as a businesswoman? Would wikipedia's editors malign a male subject's biography in this way? I doubt it. Regarding independent sources, I cited the Ellis Island medal with the congressional record. [If the Congressional Record is not independent source, then by that standard these servers probably could be swiped and lose 10% or 20% of what is on this site.] I deemed those awards (Eleanor Roosevelt, Ellis island medal) to have encyclopedic value; and, yes, they are also promotional to some extent. Again, I think it all is far above the bar that the vast majority of articles on the site have set. Overall, I find this bio to be flawed. I think it exposes a dominant culture on this online site that is not particularly attractive or noble. Per the 2011 New York magazine article cited in the Article, the subject legally changed her name over a decade ago. Based on that source -which appeared *in print*- wikipedia has not even gotten the person's name correct.

I have had a look through the suggested sites and now propose to add a citation to allmusic credits for the opening sentence as the credits cover songwriting, production and playing. For the career section (para 1) I intend to use the farout magazine article for the writing and awarding a grammy for 'Please Read My Letter' . For career section (para 2) I would use all music and via Google books] for Strange Sensation. It looks like the discography /credits don't need to be referenced to such a degree . So I intend to only retain allmusic ones or anything I can find on Worldcat.org within the new tables. Please come back with any comments on the proposed changes.

Ref MLMIf you won't accept the text of an expert in the field who does not do MLM himself but has the research to back up his assertions, then we're going to have to do some serious clean up to remove the POV anti-MLM falsehoods, including anything published by Taylor. The reference even goes so far as to claim the source is FTC, when in fact it is his rebuttal to an FTC study affirming MLMs. DeknMike (talk) 04:21, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Hipal: It is not an advertisement. The point of the advertisement tag is that it two-state. So your essentially flagging it up so that somebody else can take a look at it. I work on the Spam team, I know what constitutes an adverts.So its not an advert and has none of the features that are associated with a advertisement article. The references are quite decent as well. I don't see any unreliable sources. There is two references to Youtube which are the low-quality, but all-in-all they are quite decent. scope_creepTalk 15:56, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

My badRegarding this revert, that's my bad. I somehow missed this discussion on the talk page and thought it was a drive-by edit because of the topic.

I truly would like your input and expertise on this as it isn't appropriate under career. It would improve the page to have this in a more appropriate place. Thank you.

Where I'm coming fromAbout our EB discussion, a little background. Diriliş: Ertuğrul related stuff has a frightening amount of fans, and many has found WP and related articles (Quite a few. They even make new ones, some of which are worth keeping). I first added the stuff we are discussing at that article, but that didn't go my way [10][11], which is why I had those refs "on hand". And TBH I'm still a little sore about that because I still think it belongs. So when someone added it at EB [12], I thought yeah, this should be here at least, in some form.

Ad Fontes MediaHello, Many of our articles have an etymology section. Here are a few: Nobody's soapboxing for lasagne or idiots or gossip, nor am I for Ad Fontes Media. I think it's useful for readers--many of whom we must assume read little or no Latin--to know why it has that weird name. Is it an advertisement? Is that somebody's name? No, it just means that to understand where a news medium is coming from we should go to the source itself. Regarding the commas, perhaps you're a senior citizen? I am, but I teach high school English and have to keep up; we use far fewer commas now then when I was in high school. Best wishes, YoPienso (talk) 03:42, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
BelteshazzarI am thinking about opening up a case against Belteshazzar on the admin board so users can vote to topic ban him on eye or Ophthalmology related articles, this was suggested by several other users but nobody ever did it. I believe this user is WP:NOTHERE. See his recent edit on his talk-page. He wants to challenge the term "ineffective" on Wikipedia. It's only worth opening up a discussion if people are going to comment. As soon as I open it up its obvious Belteshazzar will deny every charge. He denies wanting to promote the Bates Method, but its obvious that is what his agenda is. He denies that the Bates method is ineffective. Psychologist Guy (talk) 12:24, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

MLM sourcingIf indeed we want to 'get away from the PROMO problems that come from such sources' then we should not quote unreliable anti-MLM blog sites as definitive sourcing. Mr Pinnock was a newspaper reporter before joining a MLM company. And any business professional in any business that publishes a book on business is 'in source'. The quote described the industry - the way a real estate agent would - and not a particular company. DeknMike (talk) 16:37, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Alexander Technique editsHi Hipal, I'd be grateful if you'd clarify the rationale of your three edits (reversions of material I included). Regarding "Further Reading" I really don't get why the two books I added recently are removed, but "The Alexander Technique Manual" (the latest edition of which has the subtitle "Take Control of Your Posture and Your Life") stays, and "Aphorisms" stays, and "Collected Writings on the Alexander Technique" stays. I added a book on the "principles" of the technique, and an "introductory textbook" published by one of the AT professional societies. I just don't get the criteria here. Regarding "External Links" I have no clue as to why what is essentially an academic index to writings, people, and events relating to the article's subject, which is put together in a scholarly way, would be considered inappropriate. I just don't get it. It surely is a helpful resource to find info on the article subject, and especially so for editors! Do you not think it is neutral? (For what it's worth, it has sections on criticisms of the "the Alexander Technique", criticisms of its originator, and critiscims of his writings). Much of the article is not WP:NPOV and is not adequately referenced, and is in fact WP:OR. I put a warning on the article over a year ago. That was reverted without any remedial action being taken, and the article still has chunks of unreferenced OR (or to be more accurate, just some editors opinions). That does not seem to bother people though!Aliveness Cascade (talk) 12:01, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
EditingThanks for the note. I will try to follow the format you explained in your message about how to correctly sigh and not an edit. I edit things I find that are wildly inaccurate. I don't try to fix all the inaccuracies, just ones that will leave the reader with a blatantly incorrect or false understanding. I edit those wherever I find them, even in biographies. If an editor writes a biography about Jenna Ellis and is giving the reader the impression that the Presidential Election just passed was pure, and people that think there was fraud are "conspiracy theorists", they are editing lies into the site. If you believe that to be true, message me. I can give on one site to go to that has compiled a staggering factual documented report that one has to be brain dead to read, and still believe there was no significant fraud. [1] Now, was that fraud enough to change the election, we may never know. But to say there was NO fraud is, well, fraud on the readers of Wikipedia. I am a bit frustrated that my edits are changed back, when all I am trying to do is moderate extreme bias in edits. Whoever did the entry on MeWe, makes it sound like a site for crackpots, and that Facebook and Twitter are free speech champions. Twitter and Facebook can be whatever they choose to be. They can fact-check and ban whoever they want. But posting false information another site and saying the users of that site are nuts is pretty lame.
