World Factoring Yearbook

I'm leaving this message as you're listed as a current participant of WikiProject Business. I was informed yesterday that the current World Factoring Yearbook (circa £150) is now free for download as an ebook. It's a matter of filling out this form. I'm not sure if you'll find this useful as a reliable source, but I thought I should let you know that it's freely available online. I apologise in advance if this doesn't interest you!

Please help me out vs. deletionist approach on a Thai stub

Hi there! I found your name among Active members of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Thailand. Could you help me out in defending the notability of M-150 (energy drink) as an admin is apparently unhappy with its notability despite the sources I have provided to try to save the article. If you speak Thai (I only superficially understand it due to my basic understanding of Lao), any source you could provide would also really help and maybe induce some people to modify their deletionist editing bias. I quit Wikipedia for years as I was spending more time defending legitimate edits from rule extremists than contributing legitimate edits. I hope you can take a minute or two to help me out on this. Thanks!! Rdavout (talk) 19:49, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kyle Bass: Japan and Challenging Drug Patents

Hi Ian, given your interest and background in business, I wanted to flag a potential issue on the Kyle Bass page (rated mid-importance in WikiProject Business). The Japan section contains subjective analysis from a low-quality source (blog) which is not in keeping with BLP standards. There is also unattributed criticism of challenging drug patents that is not in line with BLP standards.

Japan (sub-standard source): “For several years, Bass has been predicting impending financial crisis for Japan, describing its approach to financing debt as a Ponzi scheme similar to Bernie Madoff's investment scam. Most experts have disagreed with his analysis.”

Challenging drug patents (no citation): “His challenges drew criticism because he shorted the targeted companies before challenging their patents, thus bringing down their stock prices and making a quick profit.” AND “Bass later admitted that his motive was indeed profit, but insisted that he was not alone in this.”

I have flagged this on the Talk page for Kyle Bass and the BLP noticeboard but wanted to reach out to you, as well, given your stature in the community.

My name is Steele and I work at Hayman Capital Management, L.P., which was founded by J. Kyle Bass in 2005. My goal is to serve as a resource in support of Wikipedia’s three core content policies. I will not be making edits, but rather participating in the community discussions. SteeleatHaymanCapitalManagementLP (talk) 19:13, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^Che dicono a Signa?_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:51, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No Original Resources

Read and am doing my best to fully comply with Wikipedia:No original research. That means providing as many sources as I can. However, for Thailand there is a lack of resources in general and specifically in English. Using personal knowledge having lived and worked in Thailand for over a decade to vet information and then search for what references I can and add them. This is the specific example from the guidance I am following: For example: the statement "the capital of France is Paris" needs no source, nor is it original research, because it's not something you thought up and it is so easily verifiable that no one is likely to object to it; we know that sources exist for it even if they are not cited. The statement is attributable, even if not attributed.

Reporting template at UAA

Hey there, you reported a user at UAA yesterday, just letting you know that there's a template you can use in the future: {{user-uaa|1=Username}} –. The bot removed your report because it didn't see the template and treated it as a comment for a different report (i think it won't categorize it, so an admin wouldn't notice), I ended up restoring it once I noticed. Zupotachyon _{Ping me} (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:31, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Zupotachyon: Thank you for the note letting me know the correct procedure. I noted the bot action then checked that user and they were blocked so I thought whatever the bot did had worked out normally. I will use the template next time which I hope isn't soon. --Ian Korman (talk) 01:48, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, happy editing. Zupotachyon _{Ping me} (talk ⋅ contribs) 08:06, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Explaining

I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 13:53, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. Asking questions to learn more about editing procedures. Do you know how the system notes that the article has been patrolled? Maybe its kept in some metadata? Just surprised that the patrolling doesn't show in the history of the actual article. Something like, "This article was patrolled on xxx date by xxx" in the history. Regards.... --Ian Korman (talk) 01:48, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@DragonflySixtyseven: I asked in the Teahouse and found out that the evidence of your patrol is kept in the log page linked at the top of the view history. Tks for the patrol work that you do. --Ian Korman (talk) 02:13, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
