== 2020 Maine Senate Election ==

Hey 331dot:

I appreciate you participating in my changes. I am concerned that you erased everything I wrote. The wiki page I encountered was sorely underdone, lacking a lot of details, and lacking references. I provided extensive references for my additions. I am concerned that you didn't make minor edits, rather than erase all my input. Please discuss this in 'talk' with me rather than erase entire paragraphs. I made a number of updates to the 2020 Maine Senate Election, including recent topics relevant to the election that I thought were those most relevant. I hope we can resolve our editorial differences amicably rather than report vandalism. 

Best,  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2601:681:4A00:4FE0:DD21:22D7:53C0:A906|2601:681:4A00:4FE0:DD21:22D7:53C0:A906]] ([[User talk:2601:681:4A00:4FE0:DD21:22D7:53C0:A906#top|talk]]) 18:42, 11 July 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:There is no policy saying an entire paragraph cannot be removed. Length of residency has not been made an issue in the election, add it to the candidate's articles. The burden is on you to discuss, see [[WP:BRD]]. Thank you. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 20:39, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello: The is a source from Maine News Center. It has two references to this article. What do you mean there is no reference?  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/67.171.116.143|67.171.116.143]] ([[User talk:67.171.116.143#top|talk]]) 21:25, 26 July 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:References are not the issue.  The issue is Wikipedia policy in writing about living people, [[WP:BLP]], which requires complete accuracy.  Please discuss your concerns on the article talk page. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 21:28, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

You mentioned citation, not me. Moreover, this has nothing to do with providing unfactual or erroneous material about a living person. 

These are the facts as reported by various Maine and national media:

1. Information was submitted sometime in the first half of 2018 to Maine authorities that rep. Bates was accused of underage sexual behavior with girls where he teaches (an all-girls school in Maine). 
2. Gideon did not call for his removal or investigate. 
3. The Bollard magazine published additional allegations. 
4. Gideon, in response to the publication, asked for him to resign.
5. Bates resigned. 
6. House rep. Sutton brought an ethics vote against Gideon for improper handling of the situation.
7. The House voted along party lines to reject the vote. 

I welcome any additional facts, things I am missing. But, again, this is an important aspect of the campaign, just as the two candidates positions, controversial or otherwise. But I will not have you continue undoing the contribution for specious reasons. People have said it is unsourced (untrue). I sourced them. Then you say it is not factual (clearly false). Then others have said it is irrelevant, and uses bizarre language. These reasons are bordering on the absurd, and again, I will raise the concern of vandalism once again. You need to say specifically just what is unfactual or inaccurate.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2601:681:4A00:4FE0:9479:6E32:CFCF:841|2601:681:4A00:4FE0:9479:6E32:CFCF:841]] ([[User talk:2601:681:4A00:4FE0:9479:6E32:CFCF:841#top|talk]]) 03:46, 27 July 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Also, did you 331dot erase the talk page about this from the 2020 Maine Senate page? I can't find it anymore.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2601:681:4A00:4FE0:9479:6E32:CFCF:841|2601:681:4A00:4FE0:9479:6E32:CFCF:841]] ([[User talk:2601:681:4A00:4FE0:9479:6E32:CFCF:841#top|talk]]) 03:50, 27 July 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

*It would have been more appropriate to continue discussion (consensus) rather than to use control and suppression (have user: Airplaneman lock the page. 

I didn't say you were paid; I asked, given your persistence in repeatedly undoing my edits after I make the improvements you ask for. 

WP:BLP: Yes, I agree about using neutral language, heavily referencing, etc. But having a vote on someone for a potential ethics violation as Speaker of the Maine House, 51-72 is something to mention. 

Your conclusions are also specious: be more circumspect in your inferences. I am not sympathetic with Senator Collins, nor am I against Speaker Gideon. I believe that important, well-sourced references to key events expand knowledge. I fear you are motivated to protect Gideon, which is not acceptable. 

As to your conclusion about Fredette: he said they didn't likely have enough votes, and, once Bates quit, that this was something they could move on from. It doesn't mean it wasn't a significant event. 

I'm happy to pare down the blurb, but to suppress it and not allow it is wrong, unethical, and partisan. 

Who said: 'potentially not handling it well'? She had 51 people vote that her handling of it was unethical. Trump wasn't convicted, but he still had a substantial minority of people vote to impeach him. That is noteworthy even though he is a living person. 

I have given a very clear, fact-based account of what happened. You have not. You still have failed to explain which of any of the facts I cited which are inaccurate.

I welcome any additional facts, things I am missing. But, again, this is an important aspect of the campaign, just as the two candidates positions, controversial or otherwise. But I will not have you continue undoing the contribution for incorrect reasons. First you say it is unsourced (untrue). Then you say it is not factual (clearly false). Then you say it is irrelevant, and uses bizarre language. Your reasons are bordering on the absurd, and again, I will raise the concern of vandalism once again.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2601:681:4A00:4FE0:9479:6E32:CFCF:841|2601:681:4A00:4FE0:9479:6E32:CFCF:841]] ([[User talk:2601:681:4A00:4FE0:9479:6E32:CFCF:841#top|talk]]) 03:43, 27 July 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== deletion of my Page ojasjosh ==

Hello 331dot,

I got a notification about you suspecting my publication as a spam,advertising or promotion. I am reaching out to you after reading all the guidelines of Advertising, marketing or public relations and do not believe that I have violated any of the guidelines. However,since we (me and my teammates) are new here would like to know and learn what needs to be submitted with our information to validate the information. We would be more than happy to submit any documentation if needed. Once again I do understand that we must have done some error but with you guiding me I am sure we can fix it.

Many thanks,

Ojas Joshi.

:{{u|Ojasjosh}} First, you edited your user page, which is not article space, but a place for the named Wikipedia user to introduce themselves to the Wikipedia community in the context of their Wikipedia editing or use. It is not a place for the named user to tell anything and everything about themselves. See [[WP:USERPAGE]] for more information about what is permitted on user pages.
:Second, you seem to have a common, fundamental misconception about what Wikipedia is. It is [[WP:NOTSOCIAL|not social media]] for people to tell the world about themselves. This is an encyclopedia, and as an encyclopedia Wikipedia is only interested in telling what independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] with significant coverage say about a subject, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of [[WP:N|notability]]. Wikipedia has no interest in what a subject wants to say about itself, only in what others completely unconnected with the subject say about it. Furthermore, while not forbidden, [[WP:AUTO|autobiographical articles]] are highly discouraged on Wikipedia, as people naturally write favorably about themselves. In order for you to be successful in writing about yourself, you in essence would need to forget everything you know about yourself and only write based on what independent reliable sources state about you. Most people cannot do that. If you want to try anyway, you should use [[WP:AFC|Articles for creation]] to create and submit a draft for review by another editor before it is formally placed in the encyclopedia.

== Bahman Tavoosi ==

I don't understand the question about what is my motivation to help artists? I can ask the same questions from Wikipedia helpers? What does motivate you to help me or others?! I think that's how we help each other to grow and to make information accessible to the public. I do editing books in my free time and nobody is asking me why I help to edit the books, with due all respect please let me know also who is a notable person in your opinion? Bahman Tavoosi as a young filmmaker has been recognized by international media and film festivals, how could he not be a notable person? It was easier in the past to edit Wikipedia but I find it more difficult to help Wikipedia nowadays. Regards [[User:Inception 111|Inception 111]] ([[User talk:Inception 111|talk]]) 22:37, 27 July 2020 (UTC)inception 111<ref>Bahman Tavoosi</ref>
:{{u|Inception 111}} I'm here because I want to help this project.  I am not helping artists or writers or athletes or politicians or any group of people other than humanity as a whole, so they have access to this collection of human knowledge. If you are helping artists, how do you find them, or how do they find you?  Do you stand on a street corner with a sign?  Advertise on the internet?  If you help them out of the goodness of your heart, that's wonderful- but it's also a rare thing without having some sort of interest in the subject, be it financial or personal, so please forgive me if that is the case.
:Who I think is notable is not relevant, Wikipedia has a [[WP:FILMMAKER|notability guideline for filmmakers]]; Mr. Tavoosi must be shown with significant coverage in independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] to meet that definition or at least the broader [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]]. I don't think the article does that yet. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 23:15, 27 July 2020 (UTC)


Thanks for your prompt reply, I don't wish to recite our own interest when it comes to art. I have my own reasons to follow people or help any artist that not yet promoted, in this case, of course, I have seen the films and saw his talks but yes I would love to help artists ( as in my small community I do), same as you do for the humanity as a whole, but we try to help Wikipedia to put the puzzles together to make it whole. As an artist, I know how important it is to be recognized especially in the film industry and that's my whole motivation. Now that I am retired would like to contribute more to that if it doesn't become too much of a hassle. As for being a notable person, I hope you had a chance to look at the information that is provided on his page, he has plenty of sources which are listed on his page. Thank you for your attention.[[User:Inception 111|Inception 111]] ([[User talk:Inception 111|talk]]) 23:27, 27 July 2020 (UTC)inception 111<ref>Bahman Tavoosi</ref>
:Wikipedia is not a forum to provide recognition to artists or to any person.  That's just [[WP:PROMO|promotion]].  Wikipedia exists only to summarize what independent reliable sources state. If Mr. Tavoosi is aware that you are helping him, even if he's not paying you, it is still a conflict of interest. If that's not the case, then fair enough.

== Your block of [[User:Chevytrucks]] ==

May I ask why you blocked [[User:Chevytrucks]]=? Was there any reason beyond the the user name? that is not actually the name of a company, although it does strongly suggest the company, and that user did not do any promotional editing, that I can see. Why was not the user warning  message about an inappropriate user name sufficient. If you felt that a block was essential, why not use the {{tl|Uw-ublock}} or better  {{tl|Uw-softerblock}} both of which say that the user name is the sole or primary reason for the block, and both of which specifically invite the user to request a change of username along with the unblock? All the user had doen was star the Wikipeedia adventure. Please remember that our rules for usernames are nowhere explained during the registration process, so how is a new user to know that a name is considered a violation? Saying thst the user name {{tqqi|...is obviously profane, threatens, attacks or impersonates another person, or suggests that you do not intend to contribute positively to the encyclopedia }} as {{tl|uw-uhblock}} does seems to me over the line of [[WP:BITE]]. Am I missing some fact which would lead to a stricter block?

:{{u|MediaManager1}} Unless one is very experienced in article creation, it is strongly advised to submit drafts for review by independent editors using Articles for Creation.

Thank you so much for the reply.
Also, I replied to someone regarding sockpuppetry accusation. 

I would like to share my reply with you, too: "Yes, you are correct. I was [[EditorManagerPH]] before I was [[MediaManagerPH]], because when I signed up as EditorManagerPH, I didn't realize that I would be logged out. I forgot the password I used, because I thought I wouldn't get locked out, and figured I could change it in the future. But when I couldn't get back in because of multiple wrong passwords, I just created a new one. There was no bad intention or malicious reasons behind it. It was simply ignorance on my part. Now, I am logged in for 365 days on Wikipedia, and made sure I remember my password. Hope this clarifies it, and get the Wikipedians to be lenient as I have been very forthcoming about this issue. Thank you.😊"

Hi.

I requested [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TheNameIsMuhammadHusayn]]. It wasn't clear to me who the master was, but I didn't dig too far. If you know, please update the case. In the case, I mention-ping'd Cullen, who blocked the last one.

I didn't request CU originally, but as I dug around, I found an obvious IP, which I added, as well as the (empty value?) {{Para|CURequest}} parm to the {{Tlx|SPI case status}} transclusion at the case page. Is there anything else I need to do (I see it's in the right categories, but the status table still has it in the non-CU group{{Snd}} I don't know how often it is supposed to update).

Hello, can you tell me which is the correct way to create an unblock request for my case? You wrote that my request was not an unblock request, what did I do wrong and what must I do to ask to unblock my IP range (1 year is far too exaggerated)?

:I did not realize that you are blocked from editing only a specific article(partial blocks are new).  Your statement was not an unblock request(though you correctly formatted it as one).  Please read the [[WP:GAB|unblock appeals guide]] to learn how to write an unblock request likely to be accepted, but the short version is that you need to demonstrate that you understand what you did wrong, that you won't do it again, and describe what constructive contributions you will make. Since your block is only from editing a specific article, you will need to explain what changes you wish to make to that article and how you will go about it.

What was wrong with the form of my request? I said that the page was edited by a number of IP ranges and that it is not correct to block this specific range, but, as requested by the last user who reverted a vandalism, the most optimal solution would be protecting that page from anonymous and maybe new users, also considering that during the last year the only anonymous who edited the page was the vandal.

:::You used the right template, but did not do what I describe in my post above that you needed to do. You were blocked for the actions of whomever is using your IP or its range. That's what your request needs to address.  If it wasn't you, then say so.  If it was you, then do as I ask above.

:{{u|Altafshah11}}  Wikipedia does not have "company profiles", not one.  Wikipedia has '''articles about companies'''. Those articles summarize what independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of [[WP:ORG|a notable company]].  Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself, only in what others say about it.  Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about a company or share its existence with the world, even if you are not selling something or soliciting customers. If you just want to tell the world about your company, you should use social media or your company website.

== Add new block to SPI case? ==

Hi.

== Unnecessary policing of album titles ==

You and deepfriedokra are participating in unnecessary policing over verifiable facts about artists.  According to MusicBrainz, Discogs, iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and the 6,000 other digital platforms, Dorian (rapper)'s new album is entitled "True Support".

The fact this has become a back and forth and turned into a talk page discussion is stupid.  I assume you are a working adult.  As am I.  Arguing about album titles on the Internet on Sunday evening is a waste of both of our time.

== I am editing on wikipidia from past 4 years  ==

I am editing on wikipidia from past 4 years and have made more than 600 edits.The problem is that I lost my username and passwords three times .I recently made this new id but i am editing for years.I am from India and is native Hindi speaker with fluent english and begginer Frenxh knowledge.I hope you would make me administrater so that I can protect pages from being edited which can be tampered to create vandilism etc.Thanks.

:{{u|Tamilreporter123}} If you've been here for four years, you should have learned by now that the smaller edit box is for section headers or edit summaries and not the content of your post(I've fixed the header).  If you are using the mobile version or app you may find it much easier to use the desktop version even on a phone, as it has full functionality.  
:If you are interested in anti-vandalism work, you don't need to be an administrator to request page protection or report vandals. In addition, if you constantly lose your username and password, that frankly does not demonstrate good qualities in an administrator, as administrators need to keep their accounts secure. 600 edits is also too low for most users who participate in nomination discussions. We're trying to save you a lot of grief and disappointment by telling you that you would almost certainly not be given the toolset at this time.  I would abandon any thought of getting it right now.

I really don’t know.

Then, I modified my unblock request multiple times including fitting the exact criteria which you brought up. Then I gave examples of edits which I would make that fit the criteria.

However, it has not, and I have complied with what every editor has recommended if me so far. You have said now a few times that I am unsure of why I was blocked and when I tried to ask you what I still was not getting, you were saying things like “I have no further comment.” I am reaching out to you to be unblocked from this article and instead of being sympathetic and unblocking me, you are making me realize that there is some other policy that I broke.

::Hello [[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]][[User:Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:black">Deep</span><span style="color:red">fried</span><span style="color:DarkOrange">okra</span>]]! I should probably move this conversation to my talk page after this so that 331 Dot doesn’t get a million pings (which I’m sure you already have, sorry about that!). As for contacting the blocking admin, I have done so and both blocking admins have said they will no longer handle the matter. They did not say they were for or against a future unblock of mine but that they are removing themselves from the matter. As for me understanding why I was blocked, I can see why on the page itself. I think I have addressed all of these problems in my unblock request, but 331 has said that I didn’t. Maybe you could help? I just want to know what I can to do in order to get unblocked. As for Deep Fried, it’s good seeing you again! I wanted to get another admin involved but I didn’t want it to be seen as canvassing or anything like that. It would look as if I was just trying to override 331’s judgement which I would not want to do. I have taken the last month away from this article and have been editing highly contentious articles (mainly endorsement pages) and have ran into no troubles since then. Also, I have apologized to all involved editors and many of them wished me luck. I have not been overtly hostile at all. I did get a bit annoyed with Boing said Zebedee after they refused to explain what I had to do, got upset that I couldn’t see what was in green, and then refused to remove their opposition. However I worked it out with them on their talk page and our interactions since have been friendly. They have recused themselves from this matter. I have not attempted to be hostile with 331 here, although it may have can across that way and I apologize for that. 331 was one of the first people to help me out when I joined Wikipedia and I greatly appreciate their work. What I’m just a little frustrated at is their refusal to explain to me what I’m still not understanding. I clearly addressed the policies which I was being blocked for and when I asked they gave me an article about how Wikipedia has no rules. I’m unsure how to interpret that. I think I have already shown I am competent enough to edit this article and waiting 6 months (5 months after the election is over) is kind of a silly request. I specifically have been trying to demonstrate my competency by being careful about my editing this past month. I thought this would be open and shut. Instead, I dealt with one admin who was hostile and now another one who won’t explain to me what I need to show in order to get unblocked. All I’d like is for someone to tell me so I can edit this article again. Thank you! [[User:Lima Bean Farmer|Lima Bean Farmer]] ([[User talk:Lima Bean Farmer|talk]]) 03:19, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

::::Problem: Blocked for editing warring
::::Solution I will take: Discuss, don’t revert, come to consensus, rfc if needed on talk page
::::Problem: Violations of [[wikipedia:OR]]
::::Solution: I will only look at articles containing the initial information (not an analysis) and make sure it states an explicit statement of opposition.

We have not interacted except in passing. I would like you, please, to take a look at [[User talk:Greenock1998#Two of your edits are inappropriate|User talk:Greenock1998]] and consider whether I have acted correctly in this warning, and whether the editor has acted correctly in their posts that I have highlighted. I find it hard to assume good faith when I see posts like those I am callig out, but I am prepared to withdraw if I am advised to do so.

I have chosen to ask you because I think you have also not been involved with the editor concerned.

Hi 331dot,

If you have any time, I would appreciate it if you could bring your knowledge to this discussion.

I was hoping to solve a problem of excessive deletionism which is based on poor arguments and evidence, but it's becoming the same go-nowhere debate as on the Deletion pages - it really needs an outside view. <br>

== A user is putting words into my mouth, what can I do? ==
Hi, I have a dispute with another user for a while [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hungary_in_World_War_II#RFC]], so far the discussion was very unproductive so I asked for a 3rd opinion. He makes accusations, when I give him a reply, he makes the same accusation, when I make the same reply he accuses me of "repetition", despite being merely the same reply to the same accusations he keeps making. The moment he loses the argument, he starts switching to ad hoemininems and fallacious argumentation, then I spend more time debunking false accusations rather than talking about the subject itself, with the conversation leading nowhere. He has often misinterpreted me in the past, but this time he went one step forward. In the RFC posted above, the said twice that I said something I in fact did not say: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Hungary_in_World_War_II&diff=983396512&oldid=983385476]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Hungary_in_World_War_II&diff=983606982&oldid=983559522]]. He argues that not only he provided a source, but I previously acknowledged it.

When in fact, I did no such thing. I wrote a reply with diffs explaining that I in fact did not: when I asked him for a source - [[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Hungarian_irredentism&diff=982929810&oldid=982830815]] and when he replied not providing a source - [[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Hungarian_irredentism&diff=982967255&oldid=982930741]]. He then posted one of his diffs as "evidence" that I indeed agreed with him - [[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Hungarian_irredentism&diff=978486974&oldid=978316819]]. Where it stands to common sense, that if you accuse me that I said X, you should provide a diff where I said X, not a diff where you say that I said X. He then moved the goalpost, saying it was about an older source not this one, despite his original "funny you start to deny again I provided a source" being a direct reply to my "you failed to provide any source for that 10% claim", and the RFC being about this one. Now he keeps insisting in a bravado that "the fact that you acknowledged later I provided a source on the matter, is openly readable at the page", despite that not being the case. If that was the case, he could have easily posted a diff with my post, just like he posted a diff with his post. He is trying to lie that I said something I did not say to make me lose credibility in front of the RFC. I understand cases of misinterpretation either deliberate or by mistake, but this is completly another level, he is putting words into my mouth. What can I do? [[User:LordRogalDorn|LordRogalDorn]] ([[User talk:LordRogalDorn|talk]]) 12:39, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
:Sorry, if you solicitate administrators with such nonsense, when already you failed once with this issue. After you've accused me about 5 times of lying not priving a source, after and administrator warned you at AN3 this is not a good direction (also, may be read on your talk page, more editions ([https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:LordRogalDorn&diff=978202173&oldid=978117443]), you acknowledged your mistake (''You provided a source'' -15:00, 13 September 2020 (UTC)), anyone may check at the the [[Hungarian irredentism]] talk page.

:Now, at the [[Hungary in World War II]] talk page when I was referring back to this issue, you replied : "''Again misleading and fallacious argumentation, I provided 2 sources while you provided nothing.''"

:- Conclusion: after you realized finally what a big mistake you did again by denying what you acknowleged before finally after an administrator warning, you try to explain yourself in a misleading way by citing in issues '''that did not happen 1 month ago'''. Do you think an admin, or any editor won't notice this? Do you think really by WP:BLUDGEON-ing all the pages you encounter will lead somewhere, denying the existence of diffs (which anyone would open would meet a compacted walloftext)? This is the WP:COMPETENCE issue and tendentiously disruptive editing you simply do not stop, despite more editors in more pages try to deal with you in a really time consuming way. Your reiterated casting aspersion "''He is trying to lie''", which now you continue, although especially for this you have been warned and blocked for, will have a consequence (especially you did it directly on front of an admin, which anyway may easily verify the validity of any statement). Sorry 331dot that this nonsense, also reached you, I'll notify the admin as well who originally supervised this issue.([[User:KIENGIR|KIENGIR]] ([[User talk:KIENGIR|talk]]) 13:33, 15 October 2020 (UTC))

==White Wolf Finance==
Hi, 331. Er, I had already blocked {{noping|White Wolf Finance}} and given them a block template when you posted a COI notice on them.

:{{u|Bishonen}} They had made an unblock request on UTRS and said they wanted to edit about their company. I directed them to their user  talk page to make the request. The new UTRS system does not make it easy to link to pages on Wikipedia (like policy pages) so I told them that would not be permitted and that they needed to read some policies that I would link to on their user talk page. I didn't consider what the message actually said(as in welcoming them) and next time I will address that better. I support your block.

== Paid editing banner at [[Thomas Mensah (engineer)]] ==

Hey! I noticed you [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Thomas_Mensah_(engineer)&diff=937809546&oldid=935846266 put up a 'paid' banner] on this article in January 2020. There is an OTRS queue for reports of paid editing that I am trying to work through one at a time. You participated in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2020_January_24#Company_offer_to_create_Wikipedia_Page_for_Money_(Fraud) a help desk thread] about a paid editing company, that could be related.

Thomas Mensah is a person who was born in Ghana. The image of Mensah in that article is credited to a member of Wikipedia Ghana's user group. There is also [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Oralofori/Archive]] which is a complaint about someone else who turns out to be part of Wikipedia Ghana (see the conclusion at the end of the SPI: "Oralofori is apparently the Wikipedia Ghana public relations person"). Are there further steps we could take that would allow the 'paid' banner to be removed?

The queue that I'm working on is for the attention of checkusers, so they must believe that checks are justified in case of suspicion of paid socking. Are there any steps we could take that would persuade you to remove the 'paid' banner, or should any warnings or blocks be given out to those responsible? Thanks, [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston|talk]]) 17:56, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
:One more data point: we have an article on [[Oral Ofori]], whose name rings a bell per the above. That article contains a link to oralofori.com. Opening up http://oralofori.com leads to https://theafricandream.co/about-us/ which sounds like a company that creates web sites and does publicity. But there is no mention there of creating a Wikipedia article for you. There is also a sort of a news blog at http://theafricandream.net which is linked to from a few places in Wikipedia. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston|talk]]) 18:28, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
::{{u|EdJohnston}} If you see cause to remove the banner, that's fine with me. It's hard to recall but I think I tagged it only due to the content of the email in the talk page conversation you bring up, where the user said that article was mentioned in the email as an example of the editing company's work.

==Some concerns about edit requests==
Hi, I am concerned about the way edit request is being used by the editor [[Special:Contributions/EditorMax of RichmondFR]] and I wanted to get your thoughts as you were involved with them over their past COI edits. While responding to edit requests, I've noticed a pattern of this user making repeat edit requests in the form of what appears to be gaming the system by trying to shoehorn their articles as citations through proxy by using edit requests over numerous articles. [[User:Graywalls|Graywalls]] ([[User talk:Graywalls|talk]]) 03:40, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
:As long as they are making edit requests before contributing and other editors are discussing it with them, I think that it's okay.

:: I'll copy {{re|Orange Mike}} as I see him in the thread. It's not clear from looking at one request, but looking at the series of requests, the primary purpose is starting to look like pushing his websites into articles through proxy with the particular editor fulfilling their requests not having an idea that they're repeatedly trying to push links into multiple articles through multiple requests.

== Republic of Artsakh ==

Hello.  In my opinion, the status of the unrecognized [[Republic of Artsakh]] article is incorrect.  If the state does not recognize it, the country to which it belongs must also be written in its status.  For example, unrecognized [[Abkhazia]], [[South Ossetia]], and [[Transnistria]] are not like Arsakh in the article.  Arsakh's status was written by three non-[[UN]] member states.  Sorry, is this important?  Does it matter?  However, they are unrecognized separatist organizations.  Even four countries have recognized the independence of those separatist organizations.  But Arsakh was not recognized by any state.  Excuse me, why isn't the Republic of Artsakh article the same as the 3 unrecognized states article?  Don't you think this is a double standard?  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sword313|Sword313]] ([[User talk:Sword313#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sword313|contribs]]) 07:56, 2 November 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I'm posting here just to give you a heads-up about continued disruptive editing from IP 209.117.66.2. I see that you are the admin who denied their block appeal back in 2018 due to persistent vandalism. I don't have rollback privileges so this revert was pretty annoying to do manually: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:209.117.66.2]] Would you recommend I take it to incidents or wait until further / more egregious disruption occurs?

[[File:"What_a_Brilliant_Idea!"_Barnstar.png|right|50px]]
Given the discussion at WP:ERRORS surrounding the photo of Harris or Biden and what to do about it on the ITN section of the main page, I think you deserve credit for saying "look, let's just include both" given that it both solves the issue and recognizes the fact that Harris has just as much "notability" as part of the "news item" as Biden does (but for different reasons, as she won't be ''president''). Thus, I'm giving you this custom-made recognition of that work. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez ([[User:Berchanhimez|User]]/[[User talk:Berchanhimez|say hi!]]) 04:19, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

== Rejected ==
Hi dear 331dot,

You rejected my content due to "Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization wants to say about itself, such as what it considers to be its "mission".

I don't tell anything about myself, it's a very good organization that I follow for many years and I think it's must be here too. And I write very objectively all that information with sources.

About "mission" while I am writing I searched many company's Wiki pages to understand how it could be. As you see YourMD's page has a "mission" section so if you can explain how they get approved I will be pleased.

Could you suggest any correction to my article to be published ?

As your draft was rejected, it unfortunately will not be considered further; it will only waste your time and that of reviewers to pursue this further at this time.

Wikipedia articles must do more; they must summarize what independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of [[WP:ORG|a notable organization]].

== Rejected request ==

Hello, but I didn't engage in an edit war or made disruptive edits. The long explanation has probably lead to a misunderstanding situation.

I was restoring the aspect of the page had before the [[Wikipedia:Single-purpose account]] user [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage&diff=prev&oldid=983459891 made such unsourced edits on 14th October 2020] using a currency exchange rate website that didn't show nor apport any data. [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage&diff=987922874&oldid=987381962 I have restored the previous data] just as I explained every of my edits in the page [[List of European countries by average wage]] just as [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Materialscientist&diff=988005611&oldid=987991427 I have explained every change in the talk page of Materialscientist], I still got reverted by that user who only said [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Materialscientist&diff=988034951&oldid=988031998"he holds the real data" and accusing me of "inserting laugheable propaganda"] and that kind of stuff. That happened again with myself [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Materialscientist&diff=988095067&oldid=988093949 trying to explain why his data got reverted, as it was unsourced] while [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Materialscientist&diff=988095838&oldid=988095335 I got this answer in exchange]. 

So basically my point is asking him/her to prove the unsourced data (or why did he remove the previous data of that page) and I got 2 replies saying "people laugh at your propaganda" and "ban him, he's talking with a complex towards Italy" while I tried to mediate and I have shown proofs regarding my edits, which actually were just restoring the previous data the page [[List of European countries by average wage]] had. That's why I made an ANI against this user. 

I also recall on {{ping|Deepfriedokra}} to check again these edits, how can I exactly talk with someone in a talk page when I did it already and the only replies I got were like these? What I don't understand is that doing everything "legally" in Wikipedia terms, I got exactly the same punishment as the other user, while I firstly tried to solve this in a talk page just as I exposed all my arguments and sources, and instead of getting a 2nd part reply, I just got non-sense replies that didn't prove anything as well as accusations coming from this user, that's why I opened an ANI case. --[[User:Pfarla|Pfarla]] ([[User talk:Pfarla|talk]]) 10:23, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
:I stand by my decline.  You don't have to break 3RR to be edit warring, and being correct in your edits is not a defense to it.  You are free to make another request for someone else to review. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 10:25, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

== Now an Italian IP is doing the same on another similar article. ==

In the page [[List of countries by average wage]] now an Italian IP {{userlinks|80.117.253.168}} is doing the same changes that "Giolocam" has done yesterday, I highly suspect this might be a sock account of the same user given the fact he's 1. Removing the proper order to mess up the table to put Italy in an higher place than it belongs and 2. Just exactly after he got a partial block he's doing the same edits as he did yesterday with his account. 

Can you please check the ANI? There is something bigger going on there regarding this user. --[[User:Pfarla|Pfarla]] ([[User talk:Pfarla|talk]]) 21:24, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

== Revert of revert on [[Talk:Kamala Harris]] - Misleading ==

Greetings

First of all, no ill will intended in my revert, and an edit war on a talk page is the last thing I want. And I certainly [[WP:GF|assume good faith]] on your part, and hope you assume the same for me.

I know there is a trend, maybe even a consensus, on [[Joe Biden]] and elsewhere, to revert talk page edits on this subject. But I have to say, I fundamentally disagree. I think there is some failure to assume good faith on the original editors part, and there may also be a [[WP:BITE|biting the newcomers]] problem as well.

Anyhow, just wanted to give you some insight into my thinking on this. [[User:Rklahn|Rklahn]] ([[User talk:Rklahn|talk]]) 01:02, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
:{{u|Rklahn}} I respect your decision, but I think you are getting into a full time job that you may not want. It's not an issue of me disagreeing with the speech offered, but a desire to avoid repetition ad nauseam of the same misunderstanding of what Wikipedia does(summarize what RS say). [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 01:12, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
::Thanks for the notice. You are right, I do not want this job. But I do think there is some value in occasionally pulling one of these out of the weeds and expanding beyond the edit summary. But, TBH, I may not see the magnitude of the problem. I do not frequent the Joe Biden page, and my interest in the [[Kamala Harris]] page predates even her selection as a nominee for VP. [[User:Rklahn|Rklahn]] ([[User talk:Rklahn|talk]]) 02:16, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
:And the clear conservatives that are doing this are not AGF of us, thinking that we are part of a conspiracy or unfounded fraud. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot#top|talk]]) 01:14, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello! For some reason, all my edits to the page Shauna Barbosa are being deleted. I am fairly new to the Wikipedia community and there are several mistakes on that page. for instance, her list of poems is chronologically incorrect and incomplete, some facts are incomplete, others are untrue and the reference articles do not support what is written on the page. I would greatly appreciate if you either helped me edit the page or left my editing be and only checked the facts, I am not interested in spreading lies or editing fake information.

[[File:Wikipedia New page reviewer.svg|right|100px]]
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

[[File:NPP 2020 Chart.png|800px|A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue]]

;Year in review
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by {{noping|Rosguill}} who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to {{noping|JTtheOG}} and {{noping|Onel5969}} who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to {{noping|John B123}}, {{noping|Hughesdarren}}, and {{noping|Mccapra}} who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by {{noping|DannyS712}} which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist|redirect whitelist]].

[[File:New page reviewer of the year cup.svg|left|200px]][[File:NPP Technical Award.png|right|200px]]
;Reviewer of the Year
{{noping|John B123}} has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

;NPP Technical Achievement Award
As a special recognition and thank you {{noping|DannyS712}} has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Hi, a user called Bijdenhandje who you helped with a block is being highly disruptive on the [[Young Sheldon]] TV page. He is edit warring over something so minor and does not appear to want to engage in discussion about it.

Hi 331dot. I saw your decision to decline an unblock request [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASammyWaffle%21&type=revision&diff=994776821&oldid=994772401 here] and in light of that, I was curious as to the point of a committed identity. If an account has been compromised and someone else has made vandalising edits on that account and the account was blocked as a result, then what is the point of a committed identity if it cannot get the block lifted?
