Please, remove speedy deletion tag from Tarang Krishna

Hi, i have noted that you have placed nominated the page that i have created for Dr. Tarang Krishna for deletion. As per the rules, i have modified the content, removed the content that seemed to be overly promotional. Dr. Tarang Krishna is really a big celebrity. He has recieved awards for his services for a number of times. He recieved awards from MP, Shashi Tharoor and others renowned Indian political leaders such as A K Walia etc. He frequently appears in various national TV programs too. You can check out some links here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzrthtd_Sf0 / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4lobQuE3jU / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4lobQuE3jU etc. Please, remove the tag and save this page. Please, guide me. Take care. Thanks a lot.

@NaserBanaqeeb: first, always ALWAYS sign your posts when you leave a message. Second, you have a clear connection to this individual and are trying to promote them via wikipedia. Having TWELVE citations in the lead of the article doesn't help, it just makes you look desperate to prove they are significant. Statements such as He is instrumental in popularising the cancer health medicine.. and He was a briliant [sic] student both at school and college. are not only improper grammar, they are also needlessly puffy to make him sound like a great person. Additionally statements such as Since childhood, he was attracted to medicinal field. are clearly original research, have no source and add no encyclopedic value. Hope that helps. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:14, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Use of thumbnail on Lee Seung-hoon(musician)

Hello! I tried not using the thumbnail but when I added the image adress it filled the whole page as it was an high resolution picture. Maybe you can tell me how to stop this from happening, I'd be really thankful! Intermisssion (talk) 03:30, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Stone Broken Wikipedia page

Hi Zackmann08

I would be most grateful if you could clarify why you think the new Stone Broken Wikipedia page should be speedily deleted. Stone Broken is a highly regarded new British rock band, recently signed to a major record label. I have written the content for the Wikipedia page, approved by the band's manager Peter Keevil, and I have added a photograph which I took myself, so there can be no copyright issues. The article has been written in an objective manner, without undue praise or subjective comment. I would be happy to make whatever changes are deemed necessary but I do not see that any Wikipedia guidelines have been infringed and would respectfully request that the page is not deleted. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riaft (talk • contribs) 11:00, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

I am confused i'm afraid. I removed anything that could have been construed as subjective comment because you threatened to delete my Stone Broken wikipedia page. But now you appear to have reversed my changes. I don't understand why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riaft (talk • contribs) 18:23, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
@Riaft: I have no idea why you are "afraid". What I reverted was the fact that you removed templates tagging the page, which you are not allowed to do. You need to read Notability music. You also have no provided a single reference (which is required per WP:CITE). This is not a fan site. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:27, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your advice and clarification. I have now removed the comments which could have been construed as subjective and completely appreciate that this is a Wikipedia entry and not a fan site. I have also added a source reference, as required, for the quote I cited in the article from the band's vocalist. I have left intact the templates tagging the page, as required. I am attempting in good faith to comply with all the rules and protocols required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riaft (talk • contribs) 18:58, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Ron Linden thumbnail image Thank you for the information regarding thumbnail images.I followed your instructions, but I am not sure it corrected the problem. I was struggling with the restrictions of the thumbnail, so I appreciate the input. Dr. Andrea Bruce (talk) 22:31, 6 August 2016 (UTC)


Thanks again for your guidance regarding the Stone Broken Wikipedia page. I believe I have now addressed all the issues you raised and would be grateful if you could let me know if you still intend to delete the page, or to remove the 'multiple issues' flag. I would gladly resolve any other points of concern if you still believe I have not complied with Wikipedia protocols. Thank you Riaft (talk) 19:08, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

It's been 5 days since you flagged my page for speedy deletion, during which time I believe I have addressed all the points raised. I'd be most grateful if you could let me know why the page is still flagged as having multiple issues. Thanks. Riaft (talk) 00:05, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

@Riaft:
  1. please read WP:OWNERSHIP and do not refer to a page as "my page". It is not "your page". It is a page you are working on.
  2. The page has only 1 real source, the bands own website which is not a valid source for showing notability. Please consult WP:MUSICBIO.
  3. You have failed to properly categorize the page. Please see WP:CATEGORY.
  4. Your external links are bare URLs with no indication of what significance they play to the article. See WP:EXT.
  5. The article has no links to other articles and is not written like it is a wikipedia article.
  6. The organization is poor and just contains lists of tracks and albums which don't have their own article.
Does that help? --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 01:30, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your guidance, I'm new to Wikipedia writing and editing and welcome your feedback. Riaft (talk) 12:01, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Rapid Deletion OF Amitech

Hi Zackmann08

Please consider this request to revert the deletion of the Amitech Page.

I followed guidelines very closely to create an article that was strictly informational. Amitech is quoted by Inc magazine as the fastest growing startup in Saint louis. It was started by a Washington University alum and is an inspiring example of bootstrap startup. This is highly relevant to the rapidly growing tech community in Saint Louis. I assure you that I followed guidelines very closely avoiding anything that could be promotional.I mentioned references to magazine articles and not to our website even though I have seen Deloitte refer back to their own website.

Since I work for the company the first account I created the page from was our marketing email address and once wikipedia blocked that address I corrected that oversight on my part and used my email address to create an account.

I have many examples of small businesses who have wikipedia page and I believe my page was no different if not more "informational". For Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Highland

I trust wikipedia and hope to get a favorable response.

Thank you. Anu Mangal Anumangal (talk) 15:44, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

@Anumangal: I am not an admin and thus am not capable of deleting pages. I simply nominated the page for deletion. My advice to you is to go through Article for Creation if you wish to recreate this article. I will warn you of a few things however. First, you MUST read WP:COI before you attempt to create the page. Since you work for the company in question, you need to declare a Conflict of Interest. It is severely frowned upon to create a page for a company you work for. Second, be aware that the argument "Well <some page> exists and isn't nearly as notable as the page I am trying to create" will NEVER be a valid argument. Just because Johnny punches Bob, that doesn't make it ok for Phil to punch Steve. Pages need to be notable on their own merits, not just because they are more notable than other pages. If you see a page you don't think it notable, you are welcome to nominated it for deletion. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:42, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

You, or someone removed my edit and called it 'disruptive'?

The entire line is presented poorly. First off the reader is sent to a wildland fire blog where the author of the blog is neutral on the issue. Secondly, the footnote to the article by scientists who advocate the issue never claim the increase in wildland fires in 2014 were in fact due to climate change, made made or otherwise. In fact they make it quite clear they are not sure. No reason why that should not be reflected in Wikipedia. One could argue altogether whether the line and links are relevant at all. MikeMoraCarmel (talk) 17:54, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

@MikeMoraCarmel: if you actually looked at the link that is used as a source, the first line of the document says "The fire season in northern California during 2014 was the second largest in terms of burned areas since 1996. An increase in fire risk in California is attributable to human-induced climate change." To remove this and suggest otherwise is to Promote fringe theories. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:59, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

The article contains numerous references of may, likely...and hedges throughout.

From the article (S3 top left paragraph)

"Although both fire measures are based upon observa-tions, these derived variables do exhibit uncertainty (Giglio et al. 2013; Xia et al. 2012). The recent extreme fire seasons have occurred in a time of drought. Some measures of extreme fire risk are also expected to in-crease in the future despite the overall lack of change in the mean fire probability and annual precipitation simulated by climate models for the next 50 years. Our result, based on the CESM1 outputs, indicates that man-made global warming is likely one of the causes that will exacerbate the areal extent and frequency of extreme fire risk, though the influence of internal climate variability on the 2014 and the future fire season is difficult to ascertain."

So, if the page edit is only to stand for the title alone then I stand corrected. However if the page edit is to be fair then accuracy demands no absolutes. Instead the article cited reflects important scientific observations only.

Note: I do not promote fringe theories and in fact the 'Fringe Theories" definition does not even mention man made global climate change acceptance or questioning as fringe. MikeMoraCarmel (talk) 18:27, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Contested deletion

@Zackmann08: I am very new at creating articles on here but the article i wrote on Southwest Transplant Alliance is an informative article. We are not promoting or advertising any thing. Could you please elaborate to me on why you feel it should be up for deletion?ChrisEckhoff93 (talk) 16:49, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Contested Deletion

Hi Zachmann08

I am not sure why you tagged my article for deletion, could you please elaborate on why and a solution for the future so it does not get marked again?

ThanksChrisEckhoff93 (talk) 16:53, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

@ChrisEckhoff93: Ok a whole list of things....
  1. Adding a second message four minutes after your first doesn't help me respond faster.
  2. As indicated by the template AND by the message I left on your talk page, if you wish to contest this deletion you can click right there and contest it.
  3. When you say "We are not promoting or advertising any thing" it implies that you are multiple people using the same account. Is this the case, I want to make sure I know if I am talking to 1 person or multiple.
--Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:54, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

In response

Hi Zachmann08,

That second message was not for your intent to respond quicker, it was because i was unsure on how i am suppose to submit a response on this site and was not sure if it went through to your notifications. For now i am hoping i can just reply to you like i am sending an email.

When i mention 'We' I am talking on behalf of the company. You are not talking to anyone but myself.

The information in the article is factual, I am not promoting anything just trying to put this company on a page. Can you help?

ChrisEckhoff93 (talk) 18:12, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Next Response

Zachmann08,

I do not have an external relationship with this company. I work in the PR department and the information in the article was suppose to be included as said so by my boss the Director of Public Relations. I do not see any conflict of interest but i may be over looking something.

All of the information was verified by my boss, could you explain to me where there is a conflict of interest because i do not see one at the moment. ChrisEckhoff93 (talk) 18:56, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Summit Inn

I'm going to let your reversion stand for the time being, but I don't agree with that. A little context is always helpful - yes, it's true that the Bluecut Fire article should be the main place for describing the fire and obviously a paragraph about it shouldn't be there. But I see no harm including a brief description of the event Bluecut Fire that otherwise readers may not know from the Joe Schmo Fire - this is in fact standard practice on other wikis I've been on for a good / featured article and I suspect such may be the case here as well.

Sally-Sarah Smith speedy

Hi Zackmann08! I note you speedied the article Sally-Sarah Smith. Smith is obviously notable according to the article; she's an elected fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and has served on their council; she holds honorary professorships in two universities outside her country of residence; she has published a textbook with a major publisher that has run to three editions. Any one of these would usually be considered sufficient alone to meet WP:PROF in AfD discussions. There's also the national-level award, which would also alone be sufficient to save it from speedy. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 07:10, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

I declined the speedy delete as it is not eligible to be speedied.

Speedy deletion request for Moonpur Thakran as created by a blocked editor in violation of a block

I have thought long and hard before doing this, but I have reverted this edit, as I really cannot find any account used by the editor in question that was blocked at the time at which the article was created, viz 20:19 on the 12 August. The previous block on the account Ntyhoney had expired at 17:46 on the 27 July, and the next block did not occur until 21:00 on the 13 August. The account 7thakar was not blocked at all until 21:01 on the 13 August. If you know of another account or IP address that the editor has used which was blocked at 20:19 on the 12 August then please restore the speedy deletion tag, and this time give that account in the speedy deletion tag, instead of Ntyhoney. Speedy deletion criterion G5 applies only if the editor was blocked at the time when the page was created, not for creation of a page by an editor who at some other time has evaded blocks.

Disambiguation pages

Hello, Zackmann08. When you moved Cedar Fire to a new title and then changed the old title into a disambiguation page, you may not have been aware of WP:FIXDABLINKS, which says:

When creating disambiguation pages, fix all resulting mis-directed links.
Before moving an article to a qualified name (in order to create a disambiguation page at the base name, to move an existing disambiguation page to that name, or to redirect that name to a disambiguation page), click on What links here to find all of the incoming links. Repair all of those incoming links to use the new article name.

It would be a great help if you would check the other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "Cedar Fire" and fix them to take readers to the correct article. Thanks. R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:10, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Wildfire article

My apologies for mucking up the title and lead. I was unfamiliar with the relevant conventions, which differ from those of most other subject areas.

Am I correct in assuming that the names to which fires are referred by the United States Forest Service are roughly analogous to those assigned to tropical cyclones (e.g., Hurricane Irene)? —David Levy 04:53, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

@David Levy: no worries. It happens. We all learn. :-p Not sure what part is analogous but fire names are considered proper nouns. So the analogous part is that you would never say hurricane Irene, it is Hurricane Irene. In the same vein, it is not the Tea fire, it is the Tea Fire. Does that make sense? --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 06:51, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
Yes, that's what I had in mind. Thanks very much. —David Levy 13:19, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Notability

Please familiarise yourself with WP:NOTABILITY. When you propose an article for PROD, or when you introduce an AfD discussion, you cannot use arguments like "no infobox", "references are in foreign language", "barely qualifies as a stub" etc. which have absolutely nothing to do with the notability of the topic. This kind of arguments may be considered disruptive in the long run. Also, introducing an AfD debate with "is notable but..." makes no sense at all. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 14:42, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

@Biwom: will do. Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed message, not just a templated response, but a personal message pointing out specific mistakes and errors I have made. I will take some time this afternoon to read through WP:NOTABILITY before I do any more PRODs. Again, thank you! --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:12, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Re Stanimirovic page

Thanks for the correction; I'm new to this and appreciate it. I haven't touched an entry for a year; in 2015 I encountered the nastiest, oddest admin who was very much in the wrong in our disagreement. I thought he misunderstood and supplied him with info, only to realize the problem was personal... he seemed to actually be someone in my periphery with a dislike for me... and Admin authority! I was vindicated, which he accepted silently, but the experience turned me off this site... even though I would love to contribute about all the obscure and arcane stuff I know...

Your comments/suggestions regarding my "info box faux pas" have been received, and are very greatly appreciated. I have made the suggested edits to the following posted articles:

"6th Florida Infantry Regiment", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6th_Florida_Infantry_Regiment

"Company K, 7th Florida Infantry Regiment", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_K,_7th_Florida_Infantry_Regiment

I have a 4th article, currently being added (rather like eating an elephant...one bite at a time!), but have placed your suggestion into the info box;

"User:Joshua Beschutzer/sandbox/Company A, 6th Florida Infantry Regiment", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Joshua_Beschutzer/sandbox/Company_A,_6th_Florida_Infantry_Regiment

I pray you success in your efforts (see aforementioned elephant), I hope that I may have reduced your efforts in some very small way, and again very greatly appreciate your interest and efforts in making my contributions better.

Speedy Deletion of HTA

    @Zackmann08:

Hello Zackmann08, the HTA is in association and works locally for the United States Tennis Association (USTA) within the community here in Houston. It has been mentioned and articles have been written about the HTA by the United States Tennis Association. I have added these links to the article. Might that help with undoing the speedy deletion?

Hello! Please see the link below, this organization has already been referenced on Wikipedia by Linda Lorelle a broadcast journalist (NBC/KPRC) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Lorelle she won an award from the Houston Tennis Association in 1992. I have linked this to the HTA page instead of the website so that the page can no longer be labeled an orphan page.

Can you please remove the spedy deletion thing as this organization has proven to be relevant.

Gridcoin Article

Hello Zackmann08,

I'm writing a Gridcoin article, it's just a stub to edit by the community and grow. So I thought id kept it small, simple, well referenced, with wikipedia links, etc.. Starting one fact at a time, and from there build on. Its the only coin in the cryptocurrency list article without its own article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptocurrencies Ive seen plenty of short articles in wikipedia, and as i was saying its just a stub, a seed, it will grow plenty, little by little one contribution at a time. If the issue is notability it's been covered by the Huffington post. Id apreciate feedback on how to get it published. Thanks. Roders. Rodersb (talk) 00:20, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Your bot recently removed the thumb verbage from a picture I posted. That is cool. The your bot left me a form post on my talk page telling me how the thumb verbage was no longer needed. That is cool too. Except that I got that verbage, literally cut and pasted it, from wikicommons after I uploaded the picture. It had a page that said "cut and paste this link into your article to see the photo" so what we really need to do is get THAT wording changed that you see after uploading a picture.

September 2016 Lend-lease revert

Hello Zackmann08. The edit you reverted was not vandalism but rather an attempt to fix a reference error in a previous addition of mine to the article. The cited website is Russian (http://историк.рф/special_posts/значение-ленд-лиза-для-ссср/) and the Cyrillic letters appeared to cause a URL reference error. I was notified by ReferenceBot on my talk page and fixing the error required converting the Cyrillic script to standard URL encoding (http://xn--h1aagokeh.xn--p1ai/special_posts/%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5-%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B4-%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B0-%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F-%D1%81%D1%81%D1%81%D1%80), which, while still a working URL, sure ain't pretty. I assume this caused STiki to flag it as vandalism. I'm a new editor so perhaps there is another workaround for foreign script in citations but I could not find one.

Hi Zack, I work for the City of Melbourne. I edited the url for Moomba on the Moomba page under external links, but you changed it to http://www.thatsmelbourne.com.au/Moomba. Whilst this does currently resolve to the correct location, it will not always do so.

The That's Melbourne brand is being retired. The correct url to refer to is http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/moomba. This will always resolve to the correct current home of the moomba site, which will be at a new location at the start of 2017 (i.e. not at thatsmelbourne.com.au/moomba).

Inconsequential edits made using AWB

This edit, "fixing" the cpaitalization of an infobox title, accomplished nothing. This edit removed an extra space at the end of a line, as did this one. Per WP:AWB's Rules of Use "Do not make insignificant or inconsequential edits. An edit that has no noticeable effect on the rendered page is generally considered an insignificant edit. If in doubt, or if other editors object to edits on the basis of this rule, seek consensus at an appropriate venue before making further edits."

Please refrain from making further inconsequential edits using AWB, which may result in the loss of your privileges. Alansohn (talk) 12:54, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

@Alansohn: thank you so much for the message. Help me understand... I was just using the default rules in WP:AWB going through the newly created pages as I have seen so many others do. What should I be doing differently? Should I skip edits that do nothing but change capitalization or remove trailing spaces? Thank you for taking the time. I am trying to do the right thing here and use the tool as an asset. Really appreciate any and all guidance. Thanks! --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:10, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) Generally, edits should produce some noticeable effect on the rendered page. Trailing spaces and template capitalization don't appear to the reader and so it's unnecessary to change them. Certain editors feel such edits are disruptive because they clutter up the page history. However, AWB is still quite useful for fixing typos and other formatting issues that do appear to the reader (listed in the user manual). There is also a list of tasks at WP:AWB/TA that could benefit from semi-automated editing. I'm not super-familiar with AWB, but I think there's a way to automatically skip an article when there are no substantial changes to be made. You can ask at WT:AWB if you need more help. clpo13(talk) 16:21, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
@Clpo13: thanks stalker! Appreciate the feedback and tips. Still want to hear from Alansohn (talk · contribs) but your insight is also very much appreciated! --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:41, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
Our stalker is on target. If nothing visible is being changed, don;t save the change. The "Skip" tab in AWB allows you to specify that the article should be skipped if no changes would be made or if it's only one of five different types of minor fixes. While "disruptive" may be strong, these types of edits do clutter up my watchlist, and I try to make a serious effort to evaluate each edit. Focus on the more substantive edits, look through every single AWB edit to see if there are any errors or only minor edits, and focus on making changes that genuinely make Wikipedia better for the reader. Alansohn (talk) 18:59, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
@Alansohn: Thanks again. Your use of disruptive got me a bit worried that I had really effed up but you make excellent points and I will use this as a learning experience. Really do appreciate you taking the time to give me both context and a good explanation! --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 22:21, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Stanley Walden

Read the article on this person - he is apparently at least 83 and I think clearly notable, even if we discourage writing an article on oneself. (I wouldn't normally do this but notability seems very clear and I'm guessing he may not be that familiar with Wikipedia since he apparently hasn't tried writing an article on himself before - this edit claims he thinks he is just drafting the article.) So I've replaced his text with one I've written and added citations (there is no shortage of these although he's obviously obscure enough that we didn't have an article on him before). I've put a text on his page explaining the idea that Wikipedia articles should be sourced. We can escalate if self-promotional behaviour continues. Blythwood (talk) 07:15, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Information icon Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please see what is not vandalism for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. Paris1127 (talk) 18:28, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion - Xavier Academy

Hi I am a staff at Xavier Academy and I am editing this page in order to inform people about our college. I am new to wikipedia and I am in the process of learning how to use wikipedia. I can assure you that I have not violated any copyright. I want to request you not to delete this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nischaya (talk • contribs) 20:19, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

@Nischaya: You have had multiple warnings placed on your talk page, all of which you have ignored. Additionally being that you are staff at the academy you must read WP:COI before proceeding. As for your assurances that you have not violated any copyright that is simply not true. The text you are putting in the article was copied and pasted from other websites. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:43, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Infobox image

Thanks for informing. Can i add a caption of the thumbnail being used now or it will get removed because of any breach of policies. Let me know as i simply use visual editor to add this thumbnail Inderdeepkaur2006 (talk) 10:40, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

@Inderdeepkaur2006: So technically speaking the way that you added the caption was correct. However, it was redundant. The photo is obviously of the actor that the page is about. On a page about an person, the caption should only be used if it adds context. So, for example, see Tom Hanks. On his page the caption of the photo identifies that the photo is of him receiving the Kennedy Center Honors Medallion. Or see Steven Spielberg where the caption identifies where and when the photos was taken. But also see Barack Obama, where the photo is his presidential portrait. In this third example, there is no point in having a caption that reads President Obama in his presidential portrait as this is redundant. Does that make sense? Keep up the good work! --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:06, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much for clarifying about caption and summary legends. I've made the changes and hopefully it won't be reverted now. Inderdeepkaur2006 (talk) 03:10, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Pal Milkovics editing

Dear User:Zackmann08, I kindly would like to ask you to stop destroying my work (my first article I edited) what you have nominated for deletion, which process went throughout a month and resulted (by no consensus) to retain the page. Since that moment you have started to put tags and edit the article in a hurting way. I hope this is not a revenge or you have some other personal interest. I hope I don't have to but, as per the advise for similar case by Wikipedia I will advise the noticeboard and will seek for help from an administrator and from an experienced editor, if this will not stop. Pikipaki2222 (talk) 06:50, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Amwa Khas

I saw that you have PRODed Amwa Khas. I agree that it is very poorly written without any proper structure to its referencing. However the references are to the India census web-site and there is a general presumption that all geographic inhabited places are intrinsically notable. I had this on my watch list as a potential clean-up piece of work. Perhaps you would kind enough to have a second look to see if it really deserves a PROD. Equally there maybe something else that I am not seeing in the article that warrants deletion. Many thanks  Velella  Velella Talk   23:46, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

@Velella: I am not questioning whether the topic is worthy of an article. However the way it is currently written it is a PRIME candidate for WP:BLOWITUP.

Devarshi Roy Choudhury

Hello,

A simple question, why did you delete the page on Devarshi Roy Choudhury? What do you know about the history of Calcutta? You being a British have purposefully deleted the page because Devarshi Roy Choudhury is the person who has kicked out the British claim of have founding the city. The court has ruled it and do you know that Devarshi Roy Choudhury is a famous personality throughout India and the Sub Continent. Your media BBC has so many times interviewed him, I gave those links in the reference . I had given so many references and external links, still you feel that he is not important? It is simply a British Vandalism and we will take the matter to public. Devarshi Roy Choudhury is an international figure.

If my articler gets deleted how could this article stays on Wikipedia -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilottama_Majumdar ??????

How many references are in the above article which is still in Wikipedia...

Here are some of the references which I gave on Devarshio Roy Choudhury... INCLUDING THAT OF BBC. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

@Sucharita rc: Your entire tone makes me completely unwilling to engage in conversation with you. I am NOT in fact British and why you would assume that is completely ridiculous and in violation of WP:AGF. Due to your combative and unconstructive tone I will not be responding to your other questions. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 15:07, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
@Sucharita rc:If I may jump in for a moment, User:Zackmann08 did not delete your article. An administrator did. Also, they don't do that without good reason. I'm guessing Devarshio Roy Choudhury didn't meet the notability requirements (see WP:NOTABILITY). I strongly suggest you stop assuming you know other editors reasons and condemning them. Thanks.

ESM Software Group Speedy Deletion - Help?

Hey Zackmann08,

I created a page for ESM Software Group, and you've tagged it for speedy deletion. This is only my second article I'm creating. I created it because is was created by Robert S Kaplan and David P Norton, both of whom are notable figures in their fields, as well as having a notable president, Kent Smack. To improve the article/remove the speedy deletion notice, do I need to make those points clear on the page? Also, are there other wording changes I should alter for this page? I saw that you removed the notable clients, but I thought that would have made the company more notable since they are working those Fortune 1000 clients, with a credible source saying that that they indeed are clients. Any guidance would be much appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Becashan (talk • contribs) 18:10, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Regarding my hap-hazard editing in the 2016 California Wildfires info

Hello Zackmann08. First off, I would like to apologize for not responding and essentially disregarding your previous messages and/or warnings. I initially assumed that those were only automated and needed no future response if I were to follow the warnings as instructed. However, I still made some critical errors in my processes of editing. For that, Im sorry. I will possibly refrain from editing anything further on the current 2016 California Wildfires page til I have a better understanding at what it is i'm doing. My only wish is to further add to the information gathered for each major incident here in California so that it can be far easier for others to access such info. Anyway, I wish you well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanEverett45 (talk • contribs) 23:18, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello Zackmann08,

I am writing to you today in regards to the Steven Lyon wikipedia page I have been working on editing. I am Steven's new social media/marketing intern. I have not used wikipedia before and am trying to learn my way around it. I am working on adding more citations than I have already added and on fixing up the format. All of the information I put up is valid, especially since one of my sources is Steven Lyon himself. I am kindly asking you to remove your proposal for the page to be deleted. The username of the account is chloe.pecorino, who used to be Steven's old assistant...do you know of anyway I can change the username to steven lyon?

{{Wildfire-stub}}

Hi there! I see that you created a template, {{wildfire-stub}}, which wasn't proposed or discussed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting per standard procedure. Since there seems to be a Wildfire Project, the usual requirement of 60 articles needing the template can be reduced to 30 articles, and the scope of the template should be made more clear (i.e. related to wildfires in general, or to specific events).

If you did intend for this template to tag articles as stubs, the category should be Category:Disaster stubs (see {{Asbox}} documentation: category: Name only of category to which pages where this template used are added (e.g. "History stubs").). If you need a template that will add an article to Category:Stub-Class Wildfire articles, the talk page template should suffice (as you already used: {{WikiProject Wildfire}}).

Thank you for your efforts. Her Pegship (talk) 15:09, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Flex Class

Hi Zackmann08, this is with regards to Flex Class. I have edited the article as per the Wikipedia standard. I am a private equity enthusiast and I am a journalist too. I have no association with the company. I will be adding many companies article strictly on the basis of information available in the public domain. I have no intention to promote any of the company on Wikipedia. Chetanbhagat666 (talk) 17:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

@Chetanbhagat666: Couple of things, first, when adding a new thread to a talk page, start a new section. See WP:TPG for more information. Second, no one is saying that you are affiliated with the company. What I am saying is that the company does not mean the general notability guidelines. There is nothing that makes this company noteworthy. For a page to be on wikipedia it MUST satisfy the WP:GNG. There is no reason to have a page for every company that ever existed. Also please note that it is a violation of wikipedia policy to remove WP:CSD templates from pages that you yourself created. The template explains how to contest the deletion if you wish to do so. However continuing to remove the template, which you have already done twice, will likely result in you being blocked from editing. I assume that you didn't realize this was against policy so no big deal, but now that you know, make sure not to do it again. If you have any other questions, feel free to leave me a message here. :-) Happy editing! --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:22, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
@Zackmann08: Thank you for your message. The company is notable as there are only 3 leading players in the online education. The revenue of Flex Class is highest among the three and as per few articles is going for listing on the US stock exchange. I know less of Wikipedia but I am only adding notable leading players. Please do not delete the page as I am adding article on leading and growing companies.
@Zackmann08: I hope you are doing well. I have added two references this morning. The first reference is on the revenue of the company which is more than Udacity which in itself is a notable instance as Udacity is the biggest online player and secondly I have added the reference of bridge financing received from Exhilway. I hope you will agree with me that not all the companies receives bridge financing from private equity funds and nor my intention is to add all the companies which exist or existed on earth. I am only adding notable companies who are less aged but are attracting media attention.

I request you to please save the page from deletion as the references prove the point. The company is growing and is worth keeping.

List of California wildfires (12 August 2016) "Unexplained content"

Southern California did have a rough fire season for late 1993. I did add citations that were needed, even one from the CDFs archives of historic wildfires. May it be best to use the cites i added and use them to create a page for it? Because these fires were pretty spread out and sporadic, covered quite a bit of terrain, cost lots of homes and money. In short, it may be worth something of note to readers. Btw, having so many fires of size, loss and cost being noted for mostly listed for the 00s and 10s, people may tend to think that no major fires of notable size or origin occurred at all in the 90s, or 80s even.--Expertseeker90 (talk) 19:53, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Fiona Bevan BLP issue

Regarding the BLP tag you placed on the Fiona Bevan article - It would help if you would either go through the article and add citation needed tags to any unreferenced points that you would consider to be contentious BLP issues or else post a fuller explanation of your issues with the page on the talkpage.
I've left the BLP tag on for now, as well as the peacock tag (about which I agree with you) but I've removed the Refimprove tag as I feel it just duplicates the point you are making about BLP sources. 62.190.148.115 (talk) 09:18, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Arkay Beverages

I was trying to decide what to do with that mess. The current editor appears to be a director of the company, and I'm wondering if this is just the marketing side of David Nutt's Alcosynth. That might explain why the inventor is simply listed as Arkay Beverage's president's husband. Meters (talk) 18:23, 12 October 2016 (UTC)


@Zackmann08: Hi, I am Reynald Vito Grattagliano I am 60 years old, I am a simple chemist, back in 2007 I created-invented the WARM molecule that duplicate the taste and the kick of the alcohol, I added some whisky aromas and ARKAY was born. The story is real, I am originally from France, I have been for years in the liquor industry, one night my son told me that it would be great to create a soft drink with the taste and kick of the alcohol, this would be a good solution for Designated Drivers and for people that want to be away from liquors. I started my work in 2007 and finally in 2011 I got the product on the market. I met Sylvie in 2010 and she became my wife in 2011. What I am trying to explain objectively on the Wikipedia site is that we are genuine people , with a real product, we are telling a real story, however we are a little bit surprise that other people in Europe have invented a new molecule called Alcosynth that does not even exist, while Arkay exist and is available on the market since 2011. The truth is that the concept of ALCOHOL FREE LIQUORS was created by myself in 2007 and by no one else , the proof is that ARKAY does exist and real, while Alcosynth molecule back in the UK is only at an experimental stage and will not be available until 2050, I really wonder if this is a for real ! In fact I am as much confused as you are because David Nutt is making beleive the world that the concept is his while in fact it is mine. I am open to the discussion with you, I just want the world to know what is my work about and that if I can help peoples to get away from liquors thanks to my invention WARM and to my product Arkay I will be an happy camper. To comply with your guidelines that I do respect tthe Alcosynth portion has been deleted on Wikipedia ArkayBeverages.com . At last please do not confuse with David Nutt , he is not part of Arkay Beverages team. Best regards, Reynald201.140.104.199 (talk) 13:32, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Over-zealous deletion requests

You appear to be nominating articles for speedy deletion, when they do not meet our criteria for such; and when the meet our notability requirements.

Elnaz Golrokh, for instance, cites coverage in two national newspapers, and more. One of the newspaper links was malformed, but you did not correct this, suggesting you had not reviewed the source before making the nomination. You also tagged the article for CoI, but made no comment on the talk page to evidence this.

You tagged Eric Smith (Army officer) as "does not cite any sources". In fact the article had three: all not merely reliable, but reputable. One was The London Gazette, "one of the official journals of record of the British government". You even removed another of them, Herald Scotland, as "invalid"!

You tagged Eric Arthur Tomlinson as "does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject", despite the citations including an obituary in a significant national newspaper.

Edits like these are harmful to the project; not least because they discourage new editors. WP:BITE refers. Please take more time and be more considered; and if you cannot, then find something more constructive to do. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:42, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Zackmann08, I see you have tagged the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors article for speedy deletion, but cannot see why you think there is a "clear copyright infringement". It is not remotely similar to the linkedin page you offer as the supposed source. Please explain.--DavidCane (talk) 18:34, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
@DavidCane: the Earwig's Copyvio Detector report that I ran at the time of tagging showed a 55.6% match and in-fact when I just ran the comparison tool again and explicitly told it to compare to that url, I got the same. The following text is 100% taken from the LinkedIn page:
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is a professional body that accredits professionals within the land, property and construction sectors worldwide.
The RICS headquarters is in London with its main support functions in Coventry. There are regional offices in the United Kingdom, across mainland Europe, in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, North America and Brazil.
In 2015, there were RICS-qualified professionals in more than 140 countries. The total number of those accredited worldwide was 120,000, plus student membership of 81,000. The majority of accredited individuals or members are still based in the United Kingdom with large numbers also in mainland Europe, Australia and Hong Kong. There is now a strong growth globally, and particularly in China, India and the Americas.
Hope that answers your question. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:46, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Regarding Chandigarh Baptist School article nominated for deletion

Hello sir,

This is Blesson, a very new user in Wikipedia, I recently wrote an article on Chandigarh Baptist School. Soon after it got nominated for deletion, and the reason being it was too much advertising just like school's website

I just made some major changes in the article, removed everything which seemed advertising. Please go through the page and let me know if everything is fine or if I have to make some more corrections.

I'll happily do it and learn.

Thank you so much for your wise suggestions.

Blesson Prakash

Black Water Restro & Bar Speedy Deletion

@Zackmann08: Thanks for editing the infobox image. I've noticed that you'd left a speedy deletion tag in my page. However, I could not see it and contest it against the deletion. Can you consider providing me the content for updation of the Page.

Bishal revenger (talk) 04:44, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

@Bishal revenger: Pasting the same comment on my page twice doesn't make me respond any quicker. The page was deleted per WP:G11 & WP:A7. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 07:18, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

@Zackmann08: Sorry that was not intentional. I know the reason why it was deleted. I want the old contents back so that I can modify and reconstruct the article. Bishal revenger (talk) 09:03, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi nice topic to choose it seems, I got your message from a person (that may be wrong) but I want to join in, would like to get in work a bit as much as I could! by BOTFIGHTER (talk) 06:44, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Sharif El Gamal Page

@Zackmann08: This page is a target for most of Islamophobic groups. It has nothing to do with conflict of interest (COI) we are trying to edit an referenced section and adding his profile picture.

@Mohamed Sababa: There are so many issues I almost do not know where to start....
  1. When you post on a talk page ALWAYS WP:SIGN your post.
  2. You have ignored every warning that has been placed on your page. You actually just removed all the warnings as if that would make them all go away.
  3. You have continued to revert edits with zero explanation.
  4. You are removing well sourced content just because it reflects poorly on the subject that you clearly represent.
  5. Your use of the word "We" (we are trying to edit...) shows that you are a shared account which is a violation of policy.

Mukul Sinha

Why are you notifying me about the CSD/AFD? I didn't create the article, @Xscontrib: did. GiantSnowman 20:05, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

@GiantSnowman: My apologies. I'm using WP:TWINKLE which automatically notifies you. You have the first edit in the revision history. Looks like you created a redirect back in May 2014? Blame Twinkle! Sorry about that though. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:11, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Declined CSD

Zackmann08, I've declined your CSD nomination of Mukul Sinha as it passes the "makes any credible claim of significance or importance" requirement by a large margin. You've also tag-bombed the article with inapplicable clean-up templates (e.g it's not a living person, and "fansite"? Really?). --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:56, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

@Ponyo: well I strongly disagree with you on the significance. Half the sources in the article were invalid, dead links and links to home pages that don't support the claims. The BLP was accidental and I removed the Fansite, although I do think the tone of the article is overly promotional and indicative of a fan. Nominated it for WP:AfD so we'll see where it goes. Thanks for the feedback. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:00, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
Correction, I TRIED to remove those 2 tags but you beat me to it. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:02, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
If you disagree then I'm concerned you don't understand what a low bar A7 is. "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines." (bolding original, italics mine). I don't see how you could read that article and say there is no claim of significance, even if you discounted the New York Times and in-depth Tehelka coverage entirely. I see the article is now at AfD, though if you had followed WP:BEFORE you would see the overwhelming coverage Sinha has received in Indian and international sources. I'll start working some into the article. --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 20:15, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Madonna

Hi there,

Can you tell me why you reverted the Madonna photo back to the I Am Because We Are photo and provided no explanation for it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcilroga (talk • contribs) 23:18, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Zackmann, I just left this user a message on his user talk about getting consensus before changing images, especially on high-profile articles like Madonna's. —C.Fred (talk) 23:41, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello

1) Why is it that providing excellent profile pictures to some Wikipedia pages is considered a violation of copyright? 2) Why is it that lots of other Wikipedia pages have excellent profile pictures and those are not considered as a violation of copyright? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mutaito0321 (talk • contribs) 01:58, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

@Mutaito0321: First whenever you post on a talk page, always WP:SIGN your post. Second, not sure why you posted the exact same hostile message on both my page and Mlpearc. Third, I have no idea what page you are talking about regarding your supposed copyright violation so I can't respond to your comments unless you give me context. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 02:01, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

First, "hostile message"?? Seriously? Please tell me what part of my message is hostile. I'm just asking some questions. Second, I'll explain with context. Let's put an example with 2 different Wikipedia pages: "Donald Trump" and "Eiichiro Oda". The first one has an excellent profile photo. However, the second one has nothing at all. I've already added a nice photograph of the guy but it was instantly deleted. Why?? Is it better to have nothing at all? What do you say? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mutaito0321 (talk • contribs) 02:09, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

@Mutaito0321: I have made no edits to either of those pages so I have no idea what you are talking about. Kindly ask the user who removed your contributions as I was not part of it. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 02:14, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Sujan Mukhopadhyay

Hello Zackmann08. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Sujan Mukhopadhyay, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: not A7 material as there are claims of importance, specifically the no of films acted in. PROD or AfD if notability is in question. Thank you. —SpacemanSpiff 06:32, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Tang Yan (executive) declined and requested move of Joseph Neil MacNeil

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on Tang Yan (executive) as the speedy deletion of this article was declined just last month. Please be sure to look out for that in the future. If you still feel the article should be deleted, feel free to bring the matter to articles for deletion.

Additionally, as you contested the move of Joseph Neil MacNeil to Joseph MacNeil, I await your reply at Talk:Joseph Neil MacNeil § Requested move 31 October 2016. Cheers, 207.161.217.209 (talk) 06:26, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Crysis

Could you please move Crysis (series) back over the disamb you created at Crysis? Usually the series is considered primary topic, and links all other elements of the franchise (Often with a hat note for the first game). See WP:NCVGDAB, which states "Disambiguation pages are not required if the only disambiguation exists between similarly named articles related to the same video game series." Bullet 6, subbullet 1, of the same section supports Crysis (series) being at Crysis as well. -- ferret (talk) 12:00, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

@Ferret: I do not see that as an uncontroversial move. Please open a discussion and reach a WP:CONSENSUS. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:45, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
I'm not particularly vested other than it came across my watchlist. What's controversial about it? I don't see any issue and policy supports it. If its controversial, you should undo this undiscussed move, which was in preparation for the editor's request to move the series over the redirect. I don't think a new disamb that did not exist before is what we need. -- ferret (talk) 20:36, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

It's been moved back by Salvidrim!. I'll see about an RM later tonight. -- ferret (talk) 20:53, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

If there is anything that I need to change in order to get this page approved. Please do let me know.

Zhanglei123456

I blocked for a month. If I had to pick a reason for the block, it would be WP:COMPETENCE, but that's not policy. Basically I think the editor is editing in good faith, just not going around it the right way. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:51, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

@Ritchie333: HA!!! If only WP:COMPETENCE was justification for a block.... Thanks for taking care of it! --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:52, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
As the mighty Antandrus said at the seminal Observations on Wikipedia Behaviour, we have a noticeboard for everything imaginable .... except competence. Of course that doesn't mean I'm particularly happy to block, more that it's necessary. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:54, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
(talk page stalker...)@Ritchie333:I have been corresponding with Zhanglei123456 by email (he had his gmail address on his user page). He is just a regular (good) guy in a very,very,very populous country where the main language is not English. WP:COMPETENCE sounds right. I think the compentence issues and being from a different country make him an outsider who is highly susceptible to being blocked. General thought: it's too bad there is not more direct communication on wiki. 104.163.140.57 (talk) 03:57, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
I have made an offer to unblock if he agrees to only use AfC for new creations. I think that's a reasonable balance. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:01, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
@Ritchie333: I have no objections. :-) --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:29, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Nicholas Stefanelli

@Zackmann08: Hi Zack -- thanks for your message! Sorry about that, it's completely unintentional and I didn't realize I had added pictures to the wrong section. I will review the instructions and make sure I don't make this mistake again. Also, do you know how I can correct the spelling of Nicholas Stefanelli's name on the very top of the page? It is incorrectly spelled as Nicolas. Thanks so much!Megsimoneink (talk) 19:24, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

@Megsimoneink: Couple of notes. First, when you start a new thread on a talk page, be sure to create a new section. You can do so with the "New Section" button at the top of the page. I took care of it for you here. Also, I went ahead and moved the page so that it should be correctly named. Finally, I just posted a welcome message on your talk page. Be sure to read through those links as they will help you to become a successful editor. Welcome aboard!! --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:48, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

@Akshayzine13: I realize that you are new to WIkipedia but you are going about this entirely wrong. First of all, your English is so broken that I can barely understand you. Second, WP:CSD allows for anyone to request a deletion for pages that clearly do not meet criteria for inclusion. I have no doubt that she is a real person. That isn't in question here. The question is her notability. This in an Encyclopedia, not a WP:FANSITE. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:14, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

New page reviewer flag added

Hello Zackmann08. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as mark pages as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

  • Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
  • Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Ymblanter (talk) 11:36, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: Thank you so much!! Out of curiosity, what prompted this right being added to my account? I didn't ask for it... I certainly don't object! Just curious what led to it. Thank you again for the message and the extra links to make sure I fly true. :-) --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 15:23, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
Sure, you were on this list, I checked your contribution, recent review log entries, and decided that you definitely are up to the job. Thanks for doing this.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:34, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
@Ymblanter: well very much appreciated! --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 15:54, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I thought I had addressed the problem inserting a citation to the point where you said a citation was needed (that is a proof that Irina Lungu has sung over 130 performances of Traviata) and that's the reason I removed the template.

Infobox image width

Hi Zackmann08, you have just edited two locomotive-related infoboxes (Template:Infobox steam tender and Template:Infobox steam wheel arrangement) by "Invoking InfoboxImage module". Is there a specific reason for this, and where has it been discussed? The effects of the change are

  • a lot of unnecessary whitespace around the image and
  • a narrower infobox which will probably end up making it longer since some of the data will now wrap to additional lines.

I fail to see any benefit from this change. Both are negative effects as far as I'm concerned, especially the latter. André Kritzinger (talk) 19:19, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

@Andre Kritzinger: thanks for the message. Module:InfoboxImage is in use by nearly single one of the 1,500 or so Infoboxes on wikipedia. I have been going through and adding it to those few that are still left over from when the module was implemented. The purpose of the module is to process the image parameters and tidy up the formatting of the result. It does a number of things behind the scenes including adding pages to maintenance categories when the images are not properly formatted. (See Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images for example). You can still override the size on individual pages. I am not at all familiar with the locomotive project but perhaps the {{{sizedefault}}} param could be some use? Would be happy to work with you on both of these templates to make sure they work properly. The Module Is a step forward and I truly think the benefits of it outweigh the cost, but as I said I would love to work with you to make sure the Infoboxes continue to work. Let me know your thoughts. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:26, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
@Zackmann08: Thanks for the reply. The default size in both these templates was 300px before your edit. I'll try it with {{{sizedefault}}} but not now - I need to go out for a while. I'll shout if I have a hard time. André Kritzinger (talk) 19:40, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
@Andre Kritzinger: Fo sho! Let me know if I can be of assistance. Also, just an FYI, no need to ping when you post on my own talk page. You can, but the user gets notified either way. :-) --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:44, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
Fixed it. The problem arose when your edit deleted "|sizedefault=300px". I put it back in. I'd suggest you may want to revisit some of the other infobox templates you recently edited just to make sure the same deletion didn't happen in them as well. Keep well!
