==Danaos Management Consultants==
Hello Justlettersandnumbers, I'm not getting paid to contribute to Wikipedia. I contribute for several years. How can I state that my edits in Danaos Management Consultants are non profit ? I'm an employee of the company and I want to get the page restored in wikipedia  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Noelkoutlis|Noelkoutlis]] ([[User talk:Noelkoutlis#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Noelkoutlis|contribs]]) 15:42, 3 January 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Hexaware Technologies ==

Hello Justlettersandnumbers, I have already answered you on the issue of my post being a paid service, and once again assure you that it is not. I am waiting for you to advise me on this. The content which was attributed to Reuters and another website is replicated across the Internet by over a dozen sites. I plan to fix it and put up new content for your review. Please take the time to let me know of any further issues, without taking the page down. Thanks [[User:Lalita Vempati|Lalita Vempati]] ([[User talk:Lalita Vempati|talk]]) 06:56, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Justlettersandnumbers, Please let me know if I can try creating the listing for Hexaware again, seeing that it is similar to many other companies which are listed on Wikipedia. Thanks. [[User:Lalita Vempati|Lalita Vempati]] ([[User talk:Lalita Vempati|talk]]) 09:33, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

==Mystic River Falls==
Hello Justlettersandnumbers, I am planning to recreate a page that you have previously deleted, [[Mystic River Falls]]. You deleted the page at 22:18, on October 27, 2020. The user who originally created this was accused of being a sock-puppet account and subsequently banned. However, this is a valid article subject that has received extensive coverage, and I would like to rewrite it. Is it acceptable to do so?--[[User:Bigtime Boy|Bigtime Boy]] ([[User talk:Bigtime Boy|talk]]) 02:19, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
:Thank you for asking, {{u|Bigtime Boy}}! Yes, it's perfectly acceptable for you to re-create that page, it was deleted only because of the sockpuppetry. Regards, [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 11:25, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

== Capel Manor House edits ==

Hi,

I was just curious why you seem to have reverted what appear to be constructive edits on the page? I may be out of the loop regarding which long term abuser you're referring to, and why the purported edits were unconstructive - could you fill me in please?

Thanks,

[[user:BrxBrx|BrxBrx]]([[user talk:BrxBrx|talk]])<sup>(please reply with <nowiki>{{SUBST:</nowiki>re|BrxBrx<nowiki>}}</nowiki>)</sup> 21:19, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
:{{u|BrxBrx}}, that page has a long and tedious history of sock/meat editing, as do several others relating to people called Blumenfeld. The text I removed was ill-written ("... a I section beam which was supported by the stones walls ...") and ill-sourced (''e.g.'', to [http://www.horsmonden.co.uk this random local website]). Rather than a text-dump from an IP in India, I suggest that what the page needs is attention from a capable editor familiar with twentieth-century architecture. Is that you, by any chance?

== Joshua "Crisco Kidd" Carmona ==

Hello Justlettersandnumbers,
You deleted my page on Joshua "Crisco Kidd" Carmona citing it violated G11 and G12. Is there anyway I can get it back to continue editing it? I would appreciate any feedback you have to improve my page as this is the fist page I have ever tried writing for Wikipedia. I am open to complete rewrites if it is needed. 
Also, the picture that "violates G12" for copyright infringement was approved by Carmona himself. What would I need to do to provide evidence that this photo was approved and would not violate any copyright laws.
I am open to making any edits as long as I can get all of the work I have already done back.
Thank you for your help.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:AshliWhittaker|AshliWhittaker]] ([[User talk:AshliWhittaker#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/AshliWhittaker|contribs]]) 01:24, 7 January 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:{{u|AshliWhittaker}}, your first step is to disclose the nature of your connection to Carmona, and specifically whether you are being [[WP:PAID]] in any way to promote his interests here. You may then start a new draft if you wish to, making sure that everything you write is [[WP:neutral|neutral]] in tone and entirely in your own words, but before you do so you might want to check very carefully that he meets our [[WP:notability|notability]] requirements. The previous draft was deleted as G12 so I'm not going to restore it. The image was on Commons, so you'd need to follow the advice on [[:c:User talk:AshliWhittaker|your user-page there]].

== No undisclosed payment ==

Hello! Sir you placed a template on the article which I wrote named (''Mudasir Zafar'')! There is no undisclosed payment or connection to the subject. I have been reading about the person quite often so I thought of writing a page. Yes, the only connection that I can say is that, the person belongs to my state only. 
I am just a beginner and my intention is to contribute to the Wikipedia. This is my first article so there might be some errors on my part. If you feel the person does't deserve the page, you can add the template of multiple issues or need additional citations so that I can keep on improving it rather than asking to clean the page. As a new editor I expect a fair response from my wikipedia editors family. {{([[User talk:Wikiprofessional1947|talk]]) 02:04, 11 January 2021 (UTC)}}    
Thank you

==Gianfranco Cicogna Mozzoni==

Dear Justlettersandnumbers,

I would like to agrees the deletion of my article about Gianfranco Cicogna Mozzoni, He has had a great impact on the Republic of Kenya through the Order of Malta, so I would like to understand why you deleted this article without hesitation and as far as I am aware did not even bother to address any reasons. I have spent quite a lot of time editing and reviewing the article alongside another fellow Wikipedian and there seemed to be no problem, sources were in check and so was his importance and relevance to the Cicogna Mozzoni family. Please leave me a message on my talk page [[User_talk:Achting428|(here)]] addressing the issues you found and why you deleted it. Furthermore, with regards to the Gianfranco Cicogna Mozzoni image of his wedding, you reported it as copyright, "it is from Geni". Geni is a website where you can create profiles for people. His profile was created by a member of his family who not only gave me permission to use it on wikipedia but also posted it as a re-usable image.
Thank you, Ben Achting. [[User:Achting428|Achting428]] ([[User talk:Achting428|talk]]) 14:35, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
:I'm sorry, I'm too stupid to reply to this in any detail. The reasons for moving it to draft are on your talk-page, matters relating to images on Commons are discussed there. Hint: if you took the trouble to discover a little about how this project works you might make fewer mistakes. I'm just in the process of removing some (fairly minor) copyright violations from your draft. [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 14:43, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

I left a similar note on [[User talk:Sphilbrick]], but of course do whatever you think is the best course of action on [[Nicola De Maria]], as your knowledge of the field will be really useful. I am good at finding notable subjects-- but not so good at moving from stub to C, B or higher. If you can keep the sources I found that is appreciated.

:That's OK then, {{u|SL93}}! More sources would be good, because I don't think one magazine article and one doctoral thesis are nearly enough to establish notability.

::Nothing jumps out at me. The recreated article is different enough from the deleted version that it doesn't scream 'blatant recreation'.

== False copyright claim on my own artist picture/bio - Draft:CHENDA (artist) ==

Hello! I'm reaching out about a false claim that you put forward on "Draft:CHENDA (artist)". This is actually my content and I own 100% of the rights to use this content, as I created the photo myself. Although I'm making a page for myself under "CHENDA (artist)" instead of "xChenda", this is because I'm doing a rebrand in order to become more industry-friend and so I have no further problems with music distribution due to my name being capitalized incorrectly. Could this claim be revoked as soon as possible? If you need evidence, please don't be afraid to ask.

== ResetEra ==

Hey there, I'm curious what you would think about me creating a new page for ResetEra, the gaming forum that originally started following the controversy surrounding [[NeoGAF]] but has since completely eclipsed the latter in popularity and relevance within the gaming community. Among other things, the website has been the source of all sorts of gaming leaks from industry insiders that then get extensively reported on by a variety of news outlets[https://wccftech.com/sony-purchase-bluepoint-games/][https://wccftech.com/final-fantasy-vii-remake-ps-plus-march/], and decisions by the largely progessive community found on the forum have the pull to generate news coverage on their own.[https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/resetera-forum-bans-hogwarts-legacy-threads-due-to-designers-bigoted-views/][https://www.polygon.com/2021/2/24/22299095/harry-potter-jk-rowling-hogwarts-legacy-wb-games-troy-leavitt-youtube-resetera][https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/resetera-bans-all-hogwarts-legacy-threads-2888830] These are just recent examples, and I could dig up plenty other large examples from the past few years during article creation. 
I get why back in 2019 the decision was to delete the original article and redirect it to NeoGAF, but considering how many of the industry insiders that previously participated in the latter's community are now on ResetEra, and NeoGaf[https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/neogaf.com] is much less relevant(just look at the difference in their Alexa ranks, for example) then ResetEra[https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/resetera.com] to the community as a whole, I think ResetEra clearly demonstrates enough notability to stand on it's own. 

Asking for your thoughts since I am a relatively new contributor and this is the first subject I've found where I have been really surprised about the absence of an article on Wikipedia. Would love to open this up to a deeper discussion, and should you agree on creating a new article, would welcome a collaborative effort. Happy to create a work in progress draft for you to consider as well. Thanks!

:::Hi, {{u|xeno}}! Indeed, "strongly discouraged" doesn't mean "prohibited"; nor of course does "not prohibited" mean "unconditionally allowed" or anything like it.

I try to handle my share of those edit requests, but regret that this morning I had neither the time nor the inclination to review those edits myself, so reverted them with the suggestion that the editor use our established procedure.

== David Rogier ==

Hi JLAN - Help desk volunteer here.  I was just pinged by a connected editor MV Alyssa saying that the [[David Rogier]] article disappeared after I responded to a COI request and moved it to mainspace.  It looks like you turned it into a redirect to [[MasterClass]], and said in your edit summary that "there doesn't seem to be any other reason for this paid editor article."  It was sitting in limbo in draftspace, but seemed to have promise - wouldn't it have been preferable to send it to AfC, so there could be a recorded consensus?  It straddles keep/weak keep in my mind (I haven't looked for other sources), but a revert makes it look like the COI disclosure is being held against it.  We don't want to discourage others from making similar disclosures in the future. Best of all, once there's consensus, we won't get pinged anymore, and can hopefully go on to other things besides Rogier and MasterClass. Cheers! (P.S. we both created our accounts in 2010, but I beat you by a few months! Nonetheless, you've left my edit and article creation count in the dust.)

:{{u|Timtempleton}}, I'm so sorry, I read this but forgot to reply to it – please excuse me! I saw the exchange. I redirected it because it seemed to be just yet more paid promotion for MasterClass – there doesn't seem to be any other reason to consider him notable by our standards. When there's a suitable target (as here), I often use redirection as a first-level method of removing unneeded or unwanted content: if the redirect "sticks", then so much the better; if it doesn't, we can still progress through speedy, prod and AfD if those are appropriate. Anyone can undo a redirect, and of course you will feel free to do so if you think that my edit was ill-advised. Article creation ... I remember when I used to do that – not many years ago I started a new year with the aim of making a new page every day; now I seem to spend almost all my time on maintenance.

Dear Justlettersandnumber, thank you for your response. However, I do not understand why I need to make a paid-editor disclosure eventhough I do not receive any kind of compensation for my edits. I would appreciate a short explanation here. Thanks.
:{{u|PBZM}}, you wrote above "I am an employee of the company whose wiki pages I want to update". That means that you are considered to be a paid editor, and are expected to disclose the name of your employer, and to follow our guidance for editors in your position.

==I apologize==
I have to apologize that I did a bad job (which you had to revert) in the Jim Truscott and the Marc J Lane articles.  I really did think that it was for the best, and with a few exceptions (i.e. Amazon and Youtube, specifically) I added a number of independent, reliable sources.  All in all I (wrongly) believed I improved the content by searching and identifying sources.  I trust your judgment more than mine, so I’ll be extra careful in the future.  Regarding the non-offending sources, do you suggest I go back and re-add them?  Not the additional content, I mean only the added references.  I’m OK stepping away from my own mess as well. I just want to be helpful.

In my defense, I’ve been going through ''a ton'' of backlogged Edit Requests, and I did all the low-hanging fruits already.  As I started tackling more difficult ones (e.g. bad suggested sources, finding dead citations, advertising language, etc), I guess I let my guard down a bit.  I leart from my mistakes. Cheers ! [[User:Ferkijel|Ferkijel]] ([[User talk:Ferkijel|talk]]) 13:34, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
:Hi, {{u|Ferkijel}}! That's a most generous apology – thank you! – but really not needed, there was no "mess", just some edits that I felt were mistaken. I was going to leave you a note urging slightly more caution when answering some of these requests, but that's all – perception of these things varies among us, and mine has been criticised more than once. Of course I've no objection to you adding back any reliable sources that I've inadvertently removed (I did try to make sure I didn't do that, obviously not with complete success!). It's a difficult and mostly unrewarding area to work in, so many thanks for being prepared to do so at all.

== Respectfully disagree ==

I respectfully disagree with your assessment that [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Alice_Greenough_Orr&type=revision&diff=1016339723&oldid=452970211 this version] is substantially the same as the one made by the sock account many, many years ago. When I ran toolforge, I looked at the top two articles flagged as possibly having issues, One pinned at 16% the other at 12%. Nonetheless, they highlighted some phrases that matched up and I took a look at those and rewrote them. If you really think there are still specific problematic areas, go ahead and note them at the talkpage,  but seriously I think it’s fixed.  Also, having done some copyvio cleanup myself, it is important to note that just because somebody committed mass copyvio much of the time does not mean every single thing they did was a copyvio.

==Answering message==
Hi there! Thanks for the kind words; glad to be of help. I was wondering if "List of domesticated animals" and "List of Batman comics" were two of the things on your watchlist. If they were, again, I'm glad I could help out on these, especially on the latter list. As it stands now, only one [[DC Black Label#Comic books|DC Black Label]] Batman miniseries out there is left to put in and that's ''Batman/Catwoman''. The only thing is, it's not finished yet as far as I've been able to determine. I've put in a link to the Wikipedia article and section so you can see for yourself.    UPDATE: I looked at your watchlist and the two of them aren't on it.

Thanks for the editing tips, too, especially the one on Wiktpedia article references. Now I know ''not'' to do that one and just leave them alone. The reason I did things like, say, listing centuries AD with numbers instead of words is because, honestly, I thought that's how it was ''always'' done. What I also thought was ''always'' done was that numbers from 1 to 9 were written as words, while double-digit numbers, triple-digit numbers, etc. were written as numbers, except for anything above the millions, which I have seen on various Wikipedia articles were a combination of both; e.g., 1 million. I also didn't know that commas weren't written in numbers from 1000 on up to at least, say, 10,000. Again, I thought that's how it was ''always'' done.

If you don't mind, however, I'd like to be able to keep putting the term 'AD" ''before'' the year, not after it, if no one else minds, because I ''know'' that one's right. I keep seeing or hearing the same thing happen lots of times and it ''never'' ceases to irk me. I mean, it's often done and said by people who ''should'' know about this fact and yet ''they keep on doing it and saying it''.

Again, thanks a lot![[User:Mcfoureyes|Mcfoureyes]] ([[User talk:Mcfoureyes|talk]]) 20:11, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
:{{u|Mcfoureyes}}, you say "I looked at your watchlist". How ''exactly'' did you do that? I don't care a fig if you can see my watchlist, but it is supposed to be completely private; if you can see it we need to know how, so that the leak can be plugged. For the rest of it, please read and then follow the [[WP:MOS]] – your personal opinion is irrelevant, that document represents editor consensus (so if you disagree with it, you should try to change that consensus through discussion).

:OK, no problem then – I have almost 40000 pages on my watchlist, but have only created a miserable few hundreds.

== National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence ==

Hi Justlettersandnumbers. While I don't disagree with your rational behind deleting the wiki page on the basis of not satisfying  WP:NCORP, I do think there is sufficient third party coverage of this event and activity to merit the existence of a page. Previous users of course failed to demonstrate this through proper citation. In the next few days I plan to revamp the page with significant citations to meet  WP:NCORP criteria. I hope that you can take a look at it once I update with a reworked and properly cited page, to provide input about whether or not the reworked page meets  WP:NCORP.

:::{{ec}}Beyond me to understand, {{u|YorkshireExpat}}. [[WP:WPEQ]] has an unwritten naming practice/"policy", mostly established by one person, that the last word is capitalised if it can't be omitted; examples are [[American Quarter Horse]] (can't reasonably be called an "American Quarter", because that is a coin) or [[French Saddle Pony]], (can't reasonably be called a "French Saddle", because that's a piece of tack). However, this is applied pretty randomly in practice, with innumerable inconsistencies. Of those you mention, Shetland can stand alone ("oh look, there's a Shetland"), but neither Exmoor nor Dartmoor can ("there's an Exmoor"; "yes, you're standing on it"). My advice, for what it's worth: just leave these alone. There's been so much futile discussion/argument/full-on battle over these names that even the thought of any more makes me tired.

==Torre Archirafi redirect==
Hi Justlettersandnumbers, I noticed a few years ago (back in 2016) you turned the [[Torre Archirafi]] page into a redirect to it's [[Riposto|municipality]] - I looked over the article prior to it's revision and spent a few hours working on the page to bring it up to date in standards. I noticed that you described the town as not being independently notable, which isn't necessarily false however it has a very detailed history referenced in various Italian historical books (references on the page) about it's significance along with many other small southern settlements in the 16th century. A much more detailed version of the page, along with a palace located in the town ([[Palazzo Vigo]]) exist on the Italian and Simple English versions of Wikipedia.

I spent a few hours translating the Italian version of the page into a more brief, English version. I was hoping you could look over the page to make sure everything looks fine since I'm not too savvy with Wikipedia editing, but I did try my best to make it a good piece of information to English readers that are interested in learning about it's history.

:Hi, IPv6 editor! Thank you for taking the trouble to ask me about this. The problem with the text that you've posted is that it is without any citations whatsoever – the Bibliography section lists books that appear not to exist (did you translate the Italian titles and author names into English, perhaps?). I've done some searching and can find no [[WP:RS|reliable source]] that says anything about the place (in case you're wondering, I speak and read Italian without any difficulty). It isn't in Treccani, and isn't even mentioned in [https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/riposto the entry on Riposto]. If you have reliably-sourced information to add, I suggest that for now you add it to the [[Riposto]] page – and please, don't mention the ''sugghiu'', this is an encyclopaedia, not FaceBook! Thanks, [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 21:15, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I am updating this message from yesterday. I have spent an hour properly citing and referencing the text I wrote.

As I said in my previous post, Riposto and Torre Archirafi are two separate towns that are about 3 km from each other - but have their own respective town halls. I did notice that many of the official Italian sites don't seem to even reference the village, which is very odd, but it does exist! I would ask that you Google the town if you still doubt me, as many articles related to it's town resort come up along with many YouTube videos.

I ask that you please review the page again, I have properly cited and have added additional citations to my text - along with additional geographical information and an image from the Wikimedia Commons of the town from a distance.

I worked very hard on the page, as it is my first serious attempt at editing on Wikipedia - I must admit that I am a bit hurt that you immediately removed my work. I only asked for assistance on properly adding citations to the text.

*update (05/09/21): Hi, I've looked at WP:VERIFY but am still unsure on how to correct the citation issues. I've provided an additional citation on the page regarding one of it's historical structures if that helps. I've looked around at various Italian governmental websites but I assume due to the obscurity of the town that most documents related to it are likely locally-held or preserved through books and private documents. Is there anything I can do, within reason, to correct the issues? I don't live in the town itself but I do have family that lives there. Thanks.
::Hi! I looked at it this morning, and thought you'd done a great job, better than many, many first attempts at an an article, and better than the vast majority of our articles on tiny inhabited places. If you'd had an account I'd have sent you thanks; that's something you might consider, perhaps? – we need all the competent editors we can get! If you still have questions I suggest that you ask them either on the [[Talk:Torre Archirafi|talk-page of the article]] or at the [[WP:TEAHOUSE]], which is a place for new editors to get advice.

Hi, thank you very much. Your words mean a lot to me. I took an interest in my ancestral hometown and saw that no English information outside of tourist advertisements really existed, so I sought out to make the Wikipedia page a simple, reputable piece of information for other English readers. The town will still likely remain an obscure place for the foreseeable future, but hopefully in time it will be expanded upon, along with many of it's other small neighboring towns. I will likely make an account in the next few months as school occupies most of my time, but I do hope to contribute further in time.

Thank you, have a nice day.

== Paloma Varga Weisz ==

Hallo Justlettersandnumbers, being new to editing i seem to have done something that has caused you to not only remove my edits but also remove the entire biography (list of exhibitions) on the page. My informations is correct and as up-to-date as can be, as i work for the paloma varga weisz studio. There has been no information added that is not already available to be found on the artists website itself https://www.palomavargaweisz.com/ (ie. the source). A response helping me to understand why and what i have to do in order to restore it would be greatly appreciated.

:* change your username – it's not even remotely acceptable for you to edit here under the name of a person that isn't you; you can request a change [[WP:CHUS|here]] or on your user talk-page, [[User talk:Paloma varga weisz]]
:* make an appropriate [[WP:paid-editor disclosure|paid-editor disclosure]] on your user page, [[User:Paloma varga weisz]] I'll leave you a note on how to do that)
:* request any changes you want made to the article on the talk-page, [[Talk:Paloma Varga Weisz]], ensuring that every part of what you propose is supported by [[WP:RS|independent reliable sources]] (''i.e.'', ''not'' her own website); you can include a {{tl|request edit}} template if you like
:* sit back and wait until an independent and uninvolved editor has time to evaluate your request.

== Portal links restored ==

I restored the inline portal links at the Dog article. There is an important reason why: in Mobile view, such as on mobile phones and smart phones, the portal links that are surrounded by a box do not show up at all; they're just not there. Conversely, the inline links ''are'' present in mobile view. It makes no sense to omit portal links from [[WP:READERS]] who read using mobile devices, and makes entire sense for the links to be available to those readers. In today's day and age, many readers use mobile devices, and they should see the links too! <span class="smallcaps" style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[User:Northamerica1000|North America]]<sup>[[User talk:Northamerica1000|<span style="font-size: x-small;">1000</span>]]</sup></span> 12:24, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

==McGill University Faculty of Medicine==
Hello Justlettersandnumbers.  I am new to editing Wikipedia articles, but am making much needed changes to several articles for the McGill University Faculty of Medicine on behalf of the Communications Office of the Faculty.  The Faculty name and structure changed 1/2 year ago, and this must be reflected in our English and French articles, as well as other articles which reference us. These are valid changes - a new Faculty name (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences), a new url (www.mcgill.ca/medhealthsci), and a new school structure (6 schools). Please see the following source: https://reporter.mcgill.ca/mcgills-founding-faculty-gets-a-new-name/

You deleted all the changes that I made on various pages.   Please advise if there is something else I need to do  to get the  Faculty name updates to stick in the various Wikipedia articles.  Thank you. [[User:Dayjen.wiki|Dayjen.wiki]] ([[User talk:Dayjen.wiki|talk]]) 18:59, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
:Hi, {{u|Dayjen.wiki}}! It's pretty clear from [[Special:Diff/1026545290|this]] that you are an employee of the university. Assuming that's the case, the steps you need to take are:

:* request any changes you want made on the talk-page of the article, ensuring that every part of what you propose is supported by [[WP:RS|independent reliable sources]] (''i.e.'', ''not'' the university's own website); you can include a {{tl|request edit}} template if you like

Hi, thank you for your message regarding my edits to the Manufacturing USA page. I had never edited Wikipedia before but recently began an unpaid internship at MUSA, and was tasked with updating the page. I used language that they gave me from other website publications. What steps do I need to take to make sure my edits are not taken down?

== National anthem of Afghanistan ==

Re your revdel to [[Afghan National Anthem]], the anthem's lyrics have been signed into law by the president of Afghanistan, and as all acts of law are in public domain there. Also, the Foreign Ministry of Afghanistan has published the anthem's lyrics on its website[https://www.mfa.gov.af/protocol/national-anthem.html]. Moreover, this source includes[http://www.nationalanthems.info/af.htm] the Afghani anthem's lyrics along with a note that {{tpq|permission has been granted for all the anthems on this site to be used by anyone for any purpose}}[http://www.nationalanthems.info/faq.htm].

:Hi, {{u|Kashmiri}}! Well, perhaps not exactly hasty – we've removed those lyrics six or seven times in the last five years or so; but it's perfectly possible that you're right, and so that I'm just plain wrong. However, this morning I saw no discussion on the talk-page – and nothing in the article – to suggest that consensus has been reached on its copyright status, and our default position is always to err on the side of caution. I have no expert knowledge of Afghan law of course; if you do, may I suggest that a discussion on the talk-page might be the way forward? Or perhaps [[WT:Copyright problems|here]]?

== Granada Nights ==

I actually went to the cinema and watched this film on Thursday 3rd June 2021 and started to make a page about his film because I thought that if Scoob! could have a Wikipedia Page then so could this film ( Scoob! is a film I am thinking of taking my children to see this Saturday 19th June 2021 which I researched on WikiPedia instead of IMDB because I think Wikipedia pages about films are better than the IMDB stuff) - so I started to make a page about Granada Nights using the [[ Scoob!|Scoob! ]] page as an example of how to make a page ... I'm an IT & Facilities Manager by day and this was something interesting and different to do compared to my normal stuff and I joined Wikipedia to update facts about Southampton, specific to my interest - Listed Buildings ... My Granada Nights page is currently in Draft whilst I try and make a good effort at covering this film encyclopedically and neutrally whilst linking it to all the references I can find about it.

==Wanna Explain Padovana/Polish Chicken Matter==
Hi there, I'm not sure how else to contact you. I'm a chicken breeder for over 12 years, internationally distributing eggs and species mainly from Poland, my native country. Since I was young I've read guide books, explored breeder museums (farm museums) and I often noticed how they respected a certain species or a variation specifically of a chicken from Poland. The breed Im talking about is Polish Chicken (polish Czubatka) also called Padovana Chickens. It has two names because it was first noticed in medieval pPoland in 12 th century and then it ventured to Italy and breed there as well. As centuries passed by we were erased from the map and international breeder group,illegally renamed all polish chickens to padovana, even though they had many differences and poland stillasked to respect the breeds name and origins. I would also like to point out that in other Cites/Quotes in the [[Padova Chicken]] article, there is almost always mention of how Padova Chickens derive from Poland, were moved to Italy in 1300s circa. Even quotes from Italian sites state the same thing. All of these evidences are explained in edit notes, and I hope you will understand what I mean and how much it means for us breeders to be honest when it comes to something as serious as that.

:Hi, {{u|Biało-Czerwony Jantar}}! Those are two separate breeds, with separate histories. Every [[WP:RS|solid reliable source]] says the same thing about the "Polish" – that nobody knows where it came from. Darwin's theory of the origin of the Padovana has been thoroughly debunked – please see the History section of that article (but if you can track down ''where'' he said that we should definitely include it there). It's probably a good idea to avoid edits that seem to be advancing a nationalistic point of view, and stick instead to [[WP:NEUTRAL]] reporting of the [[WP:V|verifiable]] facts. Would you be kind enough to glance at two pages on Polish chickens that I've contributed to ([[Green-legged Partridge|this]] and [[Polbar|this]]), and correct any serious mistakes I may have made?

I guess I'm glad it was created, but this new article needs massive cleanup and a copyvio check: [[Janus (horse)]].  I moved it to a decent title, tagged it for the project and took a very brief whack at a copyedit, but it's beyond what I've got the time, knowledge and energy to tackle.

Hi [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]],

Thank you for this, I've conducted my own research into the Bale city, from the official city and tours board pages and other Croatian government run sources. I have now added those as references to my translations. Note most of the referenced sourced are only available in Croatian and Italian, with some being in English as well. Hopefully you can now stop reverting my translation of Bale, Croatia and people interested in the city can now get to know these extra things about the city in one place on Wikipedia.

I honestly don't know how you have so much free time to just sit around and edit stuff on wikipedia, but oh well.

Thanks,
Tibor  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Tiborkusic|Tiborkusic]] ([[User talk:Tiborkusic#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tiborkusic|contribs]]) 01:33, 3 July 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Questions relating to Lloyd Klein updates ==

Hi there, 

I have observed that you are making continuous changes to the Wikipedia profile of Fashion Designer Lloyd Klein, can you please share what is drawing you to initiate these changes? 

If there are particular elements within the biography that you feel do not have appropriate coverage to justify, please kindly share that so I can ensure those are provided. 

You have decreased his profile considerably and removed many factual aspects of his career, I appreciate your response.

== Cozzetti & Gemmill ==

Dear Sir:

I am not an experienced editor (I just opened an account a couple months ago), so I have no idea how to respond to the issues you have posted on our Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cozzetti_%26_Gemmill). What is this about? I know that Tim had written to permissions@wikimedia.org, two days ago, asking that someone with authority create a file for our photograph (C&G_Quartet.jpg). Our photograph (from 1981) was recently approved for copyright by the US Copyright Office. We sent you all pertinent information off the US Copyright Office website (including the registration number). I don't know why you would then take down our entire History section? Seems a little harsh. Our 50 year history can be verified through multiple sources (see our references) and we have always owned the rights to any and all photographs posted to Wikipedia. There are no copyright issues, with any of the content on our page. Whatever you feel is the appropriate licensing (for our pictures) is fine with us. 

I look forward to your reply. 
Thank you,
Bob Cozzetti  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Coz21|Coz21]] ([[User talk:Coz21#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Coz21|contribs]]) 20:33, 5 July 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Well, {{u|Coz21}}, there've been several problems with [[Cozzetti & Gemmill|that page]]. These include [[WP:copyright violation|copyright violation]]s from [https://web.archive.org/web/20150709143022fw_/http://musicontheweb.com/biography_cozzetti&gemmill.htm this promotional website], and [[WP:promotion|promotion]]al editing by more than one account apparently closely connected to the topic. Wikipedia doesn't tolerate promotion of any kind. If you are Bob Cozzetti then you have what we call a [[WP:conflict of interest|conflict of interest]] in relation to the page, and should (if you don't mind) refrain from editing it. Just for the record, it's not actually your page, but ours – Wikipedia pages are created and maintained by independent volunteer editors, and not by interested parties for promotional purposes. Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear, [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 22:45, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Dear Sir:

Thank you for your reply. We are looking into this and are hopeful we can resolve these issues shortly. I am not our technical person ~ that would be Tim. However; the bio by Alex Henderson on Music on the Web® is just a secondary bio to the history section on your site. As you know; it is only one of some 57 citations. If it presents some sort of problem, for you, then just delete the link and remove the reference. It has been common knowledge, with past administrators, that we own https://musicontheweb.com. I still don't see how that somehow creates a conflict of interest. Any content on our site (even by a third-party source, such as the C&G Biography), is still owned 100% by us. Just like the C&G_Quartet.jpg photograph that we submitted, the bio content was a work for hire. That makes us the copyright holders. If you have a license to fix this, then go ahead and add it to your page. We have no problem with that. I did get your email, but thought writing to you, in this open forum, was a better way to handle things. 

We look forward to any questions you might have.

Sincerely,
Bob Cozzetti

==Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs==
Thank you for your recent articles, including [[International Monument to the Victims of Fascism]], which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the [[Wikipedia:Did you know|Did You Know section]]. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at [[T:TDYK]]. This can be also done through this helpful user script: [[User:SD0001/DYK-helper]].

==WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages==
Thank you for your recent articles, including [[International Monument to the Victims of Fascism]], which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment|assessment]] templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like <nowiki>{{WikiProject Keyword}}</nowiki> to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through [[Wikipedia:Article alerts]] and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Article alerts|Article Alerts]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages|Popular Pages]], [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Poland-related articles by quality statistics|Quality and Importance Matrix]] and the [https://tools.wmflabs.org/bambots/cwb/bycat/Poland.html Cleanup Listing]. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]&#124;[[User talk:Piotrus|<span style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</span>]]</sub> 08:21, 7 July 2021 (UTC) <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]&#124;[[User talk:Piotrus|<span style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</span>]]</sub> 08:21, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
:Hi, {{u|Piotrus}}! Yes, I usually do that when the page has reached a reasonable stage of development.

What is the policy about using images of dead people? I swore there was some exception if free images can't be found. Thanks in advance for any help.[[User:WilliamJE|...William]], is the complaint department really on [[User talk:WilliamJE|the roof?]] 22:49, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
:Hi, {{u|WilliamJE}}! Yes, images of dead people for whom no free image can be found may uploaded (here, not on Commons) as [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content]], provided they're for use in a page about the person and not over about 100,000 pixels.

While I haven't yet looked at all of their edits, I see a pattern forming. Do you think the majority of their edits need to be reverted as coi/promotional editing? -- [[User:Longhair|Longhair]]\<sup>[[User_talk:Longhair|talk]]</sup> 21:16, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

::{{ec}} Hi, {{u|Longhair}}! As far as I can see, almost all edits were of the form "in xxxx, [Pinco Pallino] was elected to the [[American Philosophical Society]]"; I've done a mass rollback of those that were latest revisions, but don't have the energy or conviction to go through the others. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how significant or trivial this membership is – do you have any insight into that? Regards, [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 21:33, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

:::I wouldn't have a clue, but it's clear promotional editing and not within the rules. Your term, pattern bombing, was exactly what it appeared to be. -- [[User:Longhair|Longhair]]\<sup>[[User_talk:Longhair|talk]]</sup> 21:36, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

The [[American Philosophical Society]], founded in 1743, is a prestigious group such that being elected a member there is a real honor. Information about the (roughly 1000) people, mostly academics, being members there is relevant and useful to our readers. [[User:HouseOfChange|HouseOfChange]] ([[User talk:HouseOfChange|talk]]) 23:14, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

=== Does conflict of interest apply to Wikipedians in residence? ===

The policy [[WP:CONFLICT]] doesn't seem to require removal of neutral useful information entered by {{re|MAHosieAPS}} at such pages as [[John W. Dower]]. It says "There are forms of paid editing that the Wikimedia community regards as acceptable. These include Wikipedians in residence (WiRs)—Wikipedians who may be paid to collaborate with mission-aligned organizations," and specifies at  [[:m:Wikipedian in Residence|Wikipedians in residence]] that they "do not edit ''about'' their institution, but ''rather share the knowledge of their institution.''" Adding information that the subject of an article is a member is clearly not writing about the American Philosphical Society, nor to any personal or institutional profit. 

Many thanks for being vigilent, but wouldn't it serve Wikipedia's interests better to simply warn MAHosieAPS, who has posted notice on their userpage but not on each edit. This might also fall under [[:BITE|Don't Bite the Newbies]].

All the best in any case.[[User:CWH|ch]] ([[User talk:CWH|talk]]) 04:05, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
:Thanks for this, {{u|CWH}} – you raise valid concerns, which to some extent I share. However, I don't believe that this editor is anything but an employee of the society, has shared any knowledge other than "... [Pinco Pallino] was elected to the [[American Philosophical Society]]", or can at this point still be considered a newbie. More than anything else, this seems to be an extended [[WP:REFSPAM]] campaign. That the society itself is notable and significant – per {{u|HouseOfChange}} above (thank you, HoC!) – doesn't really change that. I've undone some but not nearly all of those edits; of course you or any other volunteer editor are/is welcome to undo any or all of those changes. Regards, [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 10:11, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

They still seem to be sharing an account regardless, which is a no no. -- [[User:Longhair|Longhair]]\<sup>[[User_talk:Longhair|talk]]</sup> 11:10, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
:Agreed, {{u|Longhair}}, that is indeed definitely unacceptable. [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 11:19, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and people who add useful material to it should not be punished for breaking an arcane rule they had no reason to know about or to understand the reason for (e.g. sharing an account.) By massively reverting a useful change you have made unnecessary work for other editors. Biting newbies is a bad thing, and WP:AGF is a good thing. Making massive reverts should be a last resort after careful consideration. [[User:HouseOfChange|HouseOfChange]] ([[User talk:HouseOfChange|talk]]) 11:30, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

:The "newbie" is 8 months into editing, and editing every few days. It's clear from the conversation here neither of us knew of the relevance of the organisation at the time of the decision to revert. We both saw promotional edits en-masse, and after consideration, undid that promotion. What is becoming clear now is that there's some kind of acceptance for it, but at the time, neither of us knew. AGF works both ways, and admins see a lot of promotional editing, and it was apparent to us both at the time that this was more of the same. I myself decided to revert also, and by the time I had checked, it had already been done. Took all of a few minutes. The edits were added in the first place sometimes minutes apart, so it's hardly a lot of work, perhaps took some preparation, but not a mountain of work. I've never seen such an agreement for acceptance of such edits for mission-aligned organizations, but now that I am aware of them, I understand your defence of the editor concerned. We both acted in the best interests of Wikipedia at the time both by blocking and by the mass reverts. -- [[User:Longhair|Longhair]]\<sup>[[User_talk:Longhair|talk]]</sup> 11:43, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
::{{re|Longhair}} I did not mean to question your good intentions concerning this matter. It is certainly an unusual situation for an organization to be as notable as the APS, yet probably unfamiliar to non-academics. But considering this particular situation, it would waste many editors' time for {{u|MAHosieAPS}} to make 1000 individual requests on 1000 pages of the living APS members for permission to add brief and useful information about their membership. I have seen only usefulness in what s/he in fact has added. The userpage not only discloses paid editing but expresses willingness to be guided in better editing practice by experienced editors.

::As someone who has had two paid stints as a WiR (including at the UK national academy for science, the [[Royal Society]]), there certainly can be COI. Without looking into it, these edits seem unwise. Is the information really [[WP:DUE]]?

::: {{re|Johnbod}} It is not an organization of 1000 American philosophers. "Membership of the [[American Philosophical Society|APS]] honors extraordinary accomplishments in all fields." The 35 people elected for 2021 include US Poet Laureate [[Joy Harjo]], [[Neil deGrasse Tyson]], and [[Arlie Russell Hochschild]]. Places like Stanford and Caltech put out happy press releases when a faculty member gets elected, e.g. [https://news.stanford.edu/thedish/2021/06/09/ronald-egan-elected-to-the-american-philosophical-society/][https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/diana-kormos-buchwald-elected-to-the-american-philosophical-society] I really enjoyed a comment by {{u|Longhair}} that "everybody with a cart" seems to be trying to promote some brand in Wikipedia, but the APS is an unusual case where it would benefit our readers if somebody is getting paid for the boring work of adding a short dab of useful information to multiple biographies, which otherwise might not include that information.

::::Many thanks, with the "many" to make up for the fact that your essential work is often unthanked, and thanks also for being willing to discuss. I apologize if anything I said implied anything but good faith! But do think that APS awards are Notable, and APS is in no way comparable to the examples given at [[:WP:COI]], such as a rock band's manager or a for profit company. I do agree that the edits should have used the template notice, but this could be handled with a warning, especially since  {{re|MAHosieAPS}} is obviously trying to comply with those "arcane" rules, so arcane that even I, after a lot more that eight  months of editing, did not understand.

Reason for rejected article. You recently rejected my article on United States Stove Company on the grounds of "Blatant undisclosed paid editing." However, if you click my profile, it clearly discloses that I am paid for my work on Wikipedia. My employer and clients are listed. Can you please explain to me why you still declined my article despite all of this? [[User:ChattWiki423|ChattWiki423]] ([[User talk:ChattWiki423|talk]]) 15:52, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Anyway, it isn't your article. It was [[Special:Diff/1003156796|dumped here]] on 27 January 2021 by User:PlanetPllc (who has subsequently changed his/her name to PlanetAya2), a self-admitted paid editor who however has made no [[WP:PAID|paid-editor disclosure]]; that's why I declined it. By the way, it seems that you copied parts or all of that page to your sandbox, but did not provide [[WP:CWW|attribution]]; please do so now (that page explains how). Also, it seems to me very likely that that text is copied from some published source, though I've not so far been able to identify one. Any ideas on that? [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 16:32, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

I will add the attribution now. However, the original author is no longer working on the article. I was hired to step in and recreate the article. So, the finalize work you see now is mine. Once I add attribution, will that make it more likely to be approved? Also, I have no idea what published source you are talking about.

I do a bit of work over at NPP, and it's a huge issue. I estimate that about 5% of the articles I review are UPE, and I only go by the most blatant tell there is. I'm sure there are others I miss. Add to that, that I review from the "back of the queue", which has already been gone over by at least several other NPP reviewers. Not sure what to be done about it, reviewing is difficult enough.

:Hi, {{u|Onel5969}}, good to see you! I was sorry to see you leave, pleased to see you return. Yes, it's a problem, the most serious we face (though copyright violation is a contestant for that title too). The undisclosed paid editors are only part of it – paid editors suck up immense amounts of volunteer time and goodwill for a net benefit to the project indistinguishable from zero. I sometimes review drafts (not as often as perhaps I should); my guess is that 90% or more of those submitted are COI, and that most of that is paid. The rate of disclosure might perhaps be less than a tenth of that. As for what to do ... until and unless we finally manage to achieve consensus that paid editing should be stopped (and introduce some measures to actually achieve that), I suppose we just carry on chipping away at the mountain – and give support to others who are doing the same. Thank you for all the good work you do! Regards, [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 09:41, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
::{{u|Justlettersandnumbers}}, I agree regarding CV, but that is much simpler to recognize (although mirrors are an issue for me). Has anything ever been attempted to quash UPE?

== [[Amotz Plessner]], 2nd deletion discussion ==
Hello, I noticed that you were involved in the speedy deletion discussion of [[Amotz Plessner]] back in 2019. I created a second AfD, [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amotz Plessner (2nd nomination)]], because I believe he doesn't meet GNG. I thought you might want to join the discussion. [[User:Throast|Throast]] ([[User talk:Throast|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/Throast|contribs]]) 18:09, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

== Attempts ==

A few months back, you blocked [[Special:Contributions/Tsbky|this user]] for undisclosed paid editing. However, their argument (on #wikipedia-en-help) is that their notice of "this draft created by Marketing Agency" was intended to be disclosure. With that in mind, would you have any objection to them being unblocked so that they can disclose properly, etc etc? [[User:DragonflySixtyseven|DS]] ([[User talk:DragonflySixtyseven|talk]]) 16:03, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
:Hi, DragonflySixtyseven, thanks for this! My suggestion is that the user post a username change request (see tsbky.com!) and unblock request on her user talk-page in the ordinary way, specifying what disclosure she'd make if she could edit her user-page, and the non-promotional edits she'd make to the project if unblocked (not that [[Draft:Jason G. Ballard|this]] holds out much hope of that!). That said, do please go ahead and do as you think best!

== Sant'Anselmo ==

Good morning! Thank you for your comments. I responded to you on my user talk page, but thought I should write here to ensure clarity. My goal (along with two other editors) was to create a "Sant'Anselmo on the Aventine" page, and then create/edit four stand alone daughter pages (College of Sant'Anselmo, Pontifical Athenaeum Sant'Anselmo, Church of Sant'Anselmo, Curia/Badia of Sant'Anselmo). Note that the parent page and name is NOT "Badia"! My hope is to clear-up a conflation of Benedictine institutions that all use the term "Sant'Anselmo". So, I first created an article entitled "Church of Sant'Anselmo" to REPLACE the previous article "Sant'Anselmo all'Aventino" where you will note a lack of citations, conflation of materials not related to the church proper, and a general dearth of materials. The purpose was to bring an article on the church proper in line with other historical churches of Rome. We did a great deal of work to get those citations and history. That expanisve page is now gone and now redirected to the old Sant'Anselmo all'Aventino. I then created an article properly entitled "Sant'Anselmo on the Aventine" which was a parent summary article for the name used by four institutions that were birthed from the creation of the Benedictine complex located on the Aventine Hill. That article has now been removed by you and also redirected to the old article of Sant'Anselmo all'Aventino. Still to be done were the editing of the Pontifical University, the creation of a wiki article for the College of Sant-Anselmo, and the creation of the Curia/Badia of Sant'Anselmo. As I mentioned on the other talk pages, we had presumed the deletion and redirect would be the best way to achieve this goal of the summary page with four daughter pages. My apologies since your note that my method was in error. How should I proceed so as to achieve some of these goals of clarity? Ideally I would like for the reinstatement of that "Sant'Anselmo on the Aventine" page and the reinstatement of the "Church of Sant'Anselmo" page. I can then move to the work on the three other institutions referenced (create: College of Sant'Anselmo, edit: Pontifical Athenaeum Sant'Anselmo, create: Curia/Badia of Sant'Anselmo). My regards and humble apologies for any errors on my part.[[User:ElijahOwens|MonasticScribe]] ([[User talk:ElijahOwens|talk]]) 10:59, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
:Well, whatever else, {{u|ElijahOwens}}, this isn't the place to discuss it! I've already suggested [[WT:ITALY]] or [[Talk:Sant'Anselmo all'Aventino]]; whichever you choose it'd probably be a good idea to leave a note at the other. Our page on the church was [[Church of Sant'Anselmo all'Aventino, Rome|here]] until it was redirected (without discussion) in 2015. You should be aware that attempts to completely overwrite existing articles without prior discussion are often unpopular and often reverted; you'd probably do better to make small incremental edits like almost everyone else does. Good luck! [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 14:32, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

== Pro bono work about important scientists in [[Ticino]] ==

Dear Justlettersandnumbers, I have edited or created pages about highly cited scientists in [[Ticino]], which sadly is still known more for tourism than for science: [[Michele Parrinello]] in [[chemistry]] ([https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=lnkt9rgAAAAJ&hl=en Google Scholar Profile]), [[Marco Baggiolini]] and [[Antonio Lanzavecchia]] in [[immunology]] ([https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=lcq610IAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao Google Scholar Profile]), and [[Jürgen Schmidhuber]] in [[artificial intelligence]] ([https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=gLnCTgIAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao Google Scholar Profile]). You undid my edits of the latter referring to WP:COI/WP:PAID and you wrote that I may propose improvements using a request edit template on your talk-page. So here I am to tell you that I am not paid for this! A little dose of local patriotism is no COI. I think you'll find that my edits with lots of supporting references have at least improved the pages, which are still wanting, given the notability of the subjects. The revert actually reinserted errors such as the wrong location, and deleted many references. It would be very nice if you could approve of the changes, and undo your undo, and and perhaps even help to further improve things further, given your vast experience. [[User:Ticino100|Ticino100]] ([[User talk:Ticino100|talk]]) 10:14, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
:Hi, {{u|Ticino100}}! Clearly I was wrong there, so please go ahead and make your changes, my apologies. Just to explain a little: that page (like others associated with it, such as [[Long short-term memory]] and [[Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence Research]]) has for years been plagued by inappropriate editing and/or sockpuppetry so blatant that it was actually reported in the [https://web.archive.org/web/20161128070155/https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/27/technology/artificial-intelligence-pioneer-jurgen-schmidhuber-overlooked.html ''New York Times'']; I thought this was more of the same. Just a thought: rather than making a single large change, a series of incremental edits to a page may be less likely to set alarm bells ringing.

== Stuart Conover edit removal question ==

Good afternoon, I was going to add a couple of new book under the bibliography for "Stuart Conover" and saw that all of my edits were removed as Paid and Conflict of Interest. I haven't been paid to make any of those edits and, aside from being a reader of some of his work am not sure how that would be a conflict of interest? I'm wondering what wasn't supposed to be there so I can add at least the bibliography back in if not the rest which took me quite awhile to put together. (I'm sorry, I'm new here so if I did anything glaringly wrong on it I'm still learning! I'm trying to only edit bibliographies right now for authors while I make sure to know all of the other rules so that is the main thing I'm looking to add back in if something else was done wrong.)

Does your edit to [[Russell Surasky]] mean it is not acceptable for Wikipedia to include descriptions of television shows from the sources?

Hello friend, I hope you are having a good day. I was creating this page for a political campaign I volunteer on, and tried to follow the formula that other politicians I see on here use. This is my first time making a page, and I tried to change the title, then add references, but it was deleted before I could do that. Is there anyway I can have it reinstated so I can fix it up.

:Hi, {{u|Swaare}}! Well, perhaps that was discourteous of me – if so, I apologise. I'd intentionally formatted those two refs without a 'cite' template for two reasons: the templates make the wikicode for the ref almost impenetrably hard to read; and every time someone changes the syntax of the template, a bot goes round implementing the change in millions (literally, I think) of instances of it, resulting in yet more unnecessary watchlist clutter. I didn't see any substantial improvement in the actual output from your version, so reverted the change. I hope that's OK?

Hello Justlettersandnumbers, I accept without reservation the deletion of my Andan Foundation page on Thursday, I was actually quite enthusiastic about my draft in the beginning, but afterwards I realized that the article reads almost like an advertising brochure, especially because of the very high number of references to the Andan company website, also the external links were probably not very neutral. I have put down a new compressed draft at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Deejott/draft2?action=edit, which is reduced to the essentials in terms of content, as a central point only the collaboration with MIT (MIT Solve & Andan Prize for Refugee Inclusion ...) is presented here.

== Angus cattle ==

Your move of [[Angus cattle]] to [[Aberdeen Angus]] has created 166 wikilinks that need to be fixed. Since [[Aberdeen Angus]] appears to be the primary topic by a large margin, perhaps it would be better to have [[Angus cattle]] redirect to [[Aberdeen Angus]] and put the DAB page at [[Angus cattle (disambiguation)]].

I don't think it was the move that created this situation (that was six or seven weeks ago) but my recent conversion of [[Angus cattle]] to a dab page. I'm pretty confident that that was needed – we now have articles on four different kinds of Angus cattle.

:You blanked, deleted, and redirected MCP to the General Services article. Your edit summary was, you didn't think there was any indication (the article) "does or could ever" be notable persuant to [[WP:NCORP]]. This is obviously not true. Because of that comment, I thought you were a new user. Needless to say, I was quite taken aback when I saw you were an admin. One of the first things one learns is [[WP:NOTE]]. It may not (currently) be able to be a stand-alone article, but it definitely can become notable (especially being a law enforcement agency). Also, it rates a subsection more than the deleted footnote that you put in. I would suggest in the future, if you are going to correct an article, you should take the time to properly readjust the information (i.e., don't just blank it, put a foot note, and call it a day). Take the time to transfer the information ''properly''. If you don't have time for that, contact me on my talk page, and I will gladly fix it. Also, be sure to cite proper WP protocols in the edit summary. I'm not upset with you and I don't mind, but I now have to go back and fix what you did.

==[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raza Samo]]==
Hello, Justlettersandnumbers,

It would be better in a situation like this for you to just delete a page than tag it for speedy deletion. Because AFDs are transcluded to other pages, this page tagging resulted in about 7 or 8 AFD-related pages showing up in speedy deletion categories because the CSD tag on this page was transcluded on to them. I've seen a similar thing happen when templates are tagged for speedy deletion. Personally, I don't see a problem with admins doing the deletion themselves rather than tagging a page and having a different admin delete it. Thank you. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 00:34, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
:Hi, {{u|Liz}}, how are you? Damn, didn't think of that possibility, sorry about that! Most of the time I try to tag rather than instantly delete speedy candidates (exceptions are promotional user-pages created under a promotional username, and duplicates of an already-deleted copyvio), as I like the idea of checks and balances and think two pairs of eyes are usually better than one.

== Hierran Wolfdog ==

Hello JLAN, I hope you are well.

I dropping a quick note to ask if you know of any sources for the [[Hierran Wolfdog]], you have a pretty remarkable knack of finding Iberian sources. I have been looking for anything under the article title (which is undoubtedly just an English translation that has probably never been used), perro de pastor herreño, perro lobo herreño or lobito herreño (the last two from [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perro_lobo_herreño Spanish Wiki]). The table on page 96 of [http://dt.csic.edu.uy/adjuntos/produccion/1488_academicas__academicaarchivo.pdf#page=94 this] source states they are provisionally recognised by the Real Sociedad Canina de España, [https://www.rsce.es/es/razas-españolas.html that is false]. I cannot access [https://accedacris.ulpgc.es/handle/10553/56861 this paper].

I suspect they exist, but are incredibly rare. Further, I suspect they are a local shepherd dog breed with absolutely no wolf blood and because of a resemblance they have been given a nickname. Kind regards, [[User:Cavalryman|Cavalryman]] ([[User talk:Cavalryman|talk]]) 01:48, 15 November 2021 (UTC).
:Yes, well, thank you, {{u|Cavalryman}}; you too, I trust? I'll look at that later, the kind of challenge I enjoy; just to be going on with, here's the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130717115840/http://rsce.es/web/images/rsce/RREE/Grupos_Etnicos/Lobito_Herrenyo-.pdf draft standard].

::Well thank you, we have recently been released from the world’s longest lockdown which is a boon.

I looked at issuing a similar CSD, but decided to ask [[User talk:Diannaa#Please examine File:Hiddenfigures.jpg|Diannaa]] to take a look since they offer vast copyright expertise. Yours may be equal.

I have left a further comment at AfD. I am half aggravated by the accusations of racism, but choose not to take that to the drama boards, considering it to be caused by indignation and frustration [[User:Timtrent|<span style="color:#800">Fiddle</span><sup><small>Timtrent</small></sup>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Timtrent|<span style="color:#070">Faddle</span><sup><small>Talk&nbsp;to&nbsp;me</small></sup>]] 10:36, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

== Revdel on Himachal Pradesh ==

Thank you for spotting and removing the copyvio at [[Himachal Pradesh]]. However, I'm not sure that also revdelling was needed. Between the insertion of the offending text and its removal, there are sixty, mostly constructive, revisions, and now they're gone. I don't think removing a large chunk of the article's history is a price worth paying for the suppression of less than 800 bytes of copyrighted text. Also, as far as I can see from the policy text, [[WP:RD1]] shouldn't be used if it would remove {{tq|attribution to non-infringing contributors}}, which appears to have occurred in this case as the edits redacted contained the addition of non-trivial amount of text [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Himachal_Pradesh&type=revision&diff=1053883872&oldid=1044615670]. Or is there something important that I'm missing here? Thanks! – [[User talk:Uanfala|Uanfala (talk)]] 00:04, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
:Well, {{u|Uanfala}}, it's always a balancing act in such cases. This was a blatant copyvio by a user who has routinely violated our [[WP:copyright policy|copyright policy]]; it seems to me that hiding 61 of the 4647 edits to that page was reasonable in the circumstances, and fully in accordance with our standard practice. They're not gone, just hidden; the usernames of the editors are visible in order to maintain attribution as required. Do please feel free to get a second opinion on this if you like – perhaps from someone in [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests|this category]]. Or perhaps a TPW will comment? [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 11:44, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
::Well, the content added or modified in those 60 or so revisions is now untraceable: we can't see who did what. And given that revision deletion apparently never hides the usernames, then why does the policy make a mention of that at all? – [[User talk:Uanfala|Uanfala (talk)]] 13:50, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
::Oh, look, that appears to have been discussed before: [[Wikipedia talk:Revision deletion#RfC on Change RD1-wording]]. – [[User talk:Uanfala|Uanfala (talk)]] 13:54, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
:::The [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode legal code states] that all contributing authors must be credited. ("The credit required by this Section 4(c) may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors.") It does not state that each sentence and phrase in the document must be credited to an individual author. Therefore in my opinion providing a list of contributors via the article history is adequate attribution, even if the edits themselves are no longer visible. I think the policy wording is a holdover from the old days where the only method of removing edits was to do a delete-and-partial-restore, whereby if there were any intervening edits by other contributors, the task could not be completed because contributor's names would be removed from the history. — [[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]) 14:24, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

== FYI ==

Just a FYI that I un-redirected [[Iberian horse]] from your list article and am trying to expand it.  My goal with the non-list article was/is to be more of a history; your list is more than adequate to handle whatever is considered the current group of breeds.  Basically, the reason I think we need both is because the historic Iberian breeds influenced a lot of other breeds, particularly in the Americas, and thus linking that article to a list of modern breeds isn't as helpful. That said, if there's a place to discuss all the modern politics around the current recognition of breeds, any efforts to improve the article are, of course, welcome.

:Of course you may, {{u|Laurel Lodged}}! Hmm, Twinkle doesn't exactly leave an informative edit summary in these cases, sorry about that. The redirect at [[:Christianization of the Roman Empire]] was tagged by {{u|Avilich}} for speedy deletion under criterion [[WP:G6|G6]] ("asserted to be non-controversial maintenance") to allow the article to be moved to that title, so I did that. I didn't (and still don't) see any discussion of renaming on the talk-page; there was a brief merge discussion in 2012. If the move is in fact disputed I will of course revert it so that a [[WP:RM]] discussion can take place – please let me know. [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 18:36, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

:::The page was originally supposed to be moved from "Decline of Greco-Roman polytheism" to "Christianization of the Roman Empire" (see [[Talk:Christianization of the Roman Empire#Total restructure of this article]]), but, since the latter was a redirect with a slightly-less-than-trivial history, a manual move couldn't be performed, and so {{u|Jenhawk777}} just added "late" to the title.

== Christianization of the Roman empire G6 ==

Hi! I  know we don't know each other, but I got a notification about this, and I feel bad that you got sucked in and were blindsided.  I feel responsible, and I'm sorry. Four of us, including Avilich and I, had a big hullabaloo with no resolution over retitling [[Persecution of pagans in the Late Roman Empire]]. It was in the midst of that discussion that [[User:Richard Keatinge|Richard Keatinge]] raised the idea of merging [[Decline of Greco-Roman polytheism]] and [[Christianization of the Roman Empire as caused by attractive appeal]] into one article. I was against that - and then decided he was right - so I did it, and it became this article: [[Christianization of the late Roman empire]]. Since I did the merger, I titled it, and I added 'late' to avoid conflict with an already existing redirect. 

When Avilich next wanted to retitle the merged article, I didn't want a repeat of pagans, so I just agreed. The others were not consulted. Richard has not been to the merged article at all, as far as I know, and I am thinking that perhaps he doesn't want to be involved. Laurel has, and her views should be considered. I should not have just agreed with him without asking her. On that basis, the change should probably be reverted until there is agreement between the two of them. I'm so sorry about all of this. He's gonna be upset with me about this, but it's the right thing to do. Where is Batman when you need him? [[User:Jenhawk777|Jenhawk777]] ([[User talk:Jenhawk777|talk]]) 20:37, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

== Capitalising breeds ==

Hi! Thank you for the correction on the [[Slovene Late-feathered Hen]]. If I understand you correctly, it is customary on English Wikipedia (different external sources list many various rules about English naming/capitalizing etc.) to capitalize all breed names, as well as all parts of a name. E.g. [[Slovenian Barred hen|Slovenian Barred Hen]], [[Cika cattle|Cika Cattle]], [[Drežnica goat|Drežnica Goat]], [[Slovenian cold-blooded horse|Slovenian Cold-blooded Horse]] etc. are thus proper namings?--'''[[User:Melaleuca alternifolia|<span style="color: darkgreen">Melaleuca alternifolia</span>]]''' '''|''' '''[[User talk:Melaleuca alternifolia|<span style="color: olive">talk</span>]]''' 16:59, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
:{{u|Melaleuca alternifolia}}, I'm afraid it's not that simple – this has been the subject of much discussion, and much unpleasantness, for many years; there's no firm consensus on what should be done. There is a sort of tacit understanding that breed names should be capitalised, as they invariably are elsewhere. My advice for now would be to move the hen to the capitalised name, the horse to [[Slovenian Cold-blood]], and leave the goat and cow where they are for the moment. Much more important: thank you so much for creating those pages!

I have read about what constitutes a [[WP:RS|reliable source] The page source is specifically about glamping, the history and types of glamping. If that is not a source, let's get rid of half the other sources like the opinion piece someone wrote on HuffPost or the listicle article as a source from travellers.com.au. If those are examples of a {{WP:RS|reliable source} then half of Wikipedia is not reliable. Kind of ridiculous micromanaging in my opinion.[[User:TheSimulati|TheSimulati]] ([[User talk:TheSimulati|talk]]) 19:26, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
:Well, {{u|TheSimulati}}, the place to discuss the reliability of sources is the [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard]]. You have not made one edit unrelated to allaboutglamping.com. What is your connection to that website? [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 19:39, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
{{u|Justlettersandnumbers}} Well, I attempted to start to help Wikipedia last year during covid. Attempted to add some info on the Glamping page as it said it needed work. I was told that I needed to get authorization from the source for copyright issues. Finally got back to it and got the required authorization from the site to fix what I had started last year. Then I get that the source is not good enough. Seems like helping Wikipedia is too much of a convoluted process. I'll leave it to you admins, no worries.

== Just FYI ==

Saw you blocked {{noping|Elitereplay}} as suspected UPE. I've got them {{confirmed}} to {{noping|Penstrope}}, whom off-wiki evidence connects to [[Wikipedia:List_of_paid_editing_companies#Get_Wikified_/_Wiki_Professionals|Get Wikified]]. Good block :). [[User:GeneralNotability|GeneralNotability]] ([[User talk:GeneralNotability|talk]]) 23:48, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
:Good to know I got that one right, {{u|GeneralNotability}}! Unfortunately I've no recollection of what made me certain enough to hand out the block. I took a quick glance at the contribs, and it looks as if stuff like [[Special:History/Draft:Troy Anthony Helming|this]] and [[Special:History/Draft:Mph club|this]] is straight out of the same stable.

== Unhappy editors at Chokha ==

Hi, I don't really want to get into the drama of an ANI thing, and saw that the preface to ANI suggests contacting a recently-online admin to skip it. I just came across Cherkezy at [[Chokha]], and posted a talk-page message to them, reminding them that it's not appropriate to tag an edit that changes ethnicity as "minor" (people get very upset about ethnicity). But I'm worried about the situation at Chokha where two editors seem to be losing the plot. A few examples selected from a generally bad-tempered set of edit summaries:
: "Do not lecture me about fairness and nationalism after your little edits. Hypocrite" at [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Chokha&type=revision&diff=1061396082&oldid=1061394946]
: "Sick person" at [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Chokha&type=revision&diff=1061394281&oldid=1060272413]
: "I think there is brain barrier between you and historical facts. nobody but Georgian wore this. 9th century blah blah, shamil blah blah. all made up. I already explained ths fact please scroll down. as for now enjoy Georgian culture and first Caucasian who invented this:) GEORGIAN)" here [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Chokha&type=revision&diff=1060263691&oldid=1060263555]
<br> my feeling is that these two editors (Cherkezy and Kebapkebvab) are behaving very badly to one another, and that no other editor is likely to step into such an ill-tempered fight to offer a much-needed third viewpoint. This reeks of nasty, ethnic editing and personalised attacks. I wonder if it's worth warning them both to tone it down a bit, and seek a third opinion as they clearly can't agree. [[User:Elemimele|Elemimele]] ([[User talk:Elemimele|talk]]) 15:06, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
::{{u|Elemimele}}, thanks for bringing this here – if there's something going on that you don't like the look of, then asking the opinion of another editor is always a good plan, I think. I've looked at the history of that page and would certainly have taken some kind of action if I'd been aware of it a couple of weeks ago. Now it seems that one of the two editors has not edited since 14 December, and so the situation has calmed down. I've left a brief note for the other editor, let's hope this will die down now – but please let me know if it starts up again. By an extraordinary coincidence, I thought the article you meant was [[Chokha (painter)|Chokha]], a page in which I have a minor interest (see [[:File:Chokha, Battle of Haldighati, painted 1822.jpg|this upload]]). Regards, [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 21:38, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
::: Oooh, that's what I love about WP. Always something new to learn. I've put a hat-note on the two articles for those readers who find their way to the wrong one, and for those readers who've found the "right" one, but (like me) enjoy discovering something unrelated...

== [[User:Sjchin]] likely sock ==

Sorry if this is the wrong venue, but I noticed you were the blocking admin - a completely new user just submitted [[Draft:Akribis Systems Pte Ltd]], the same company that Sjchin was trying make a draft for, using very similar sourcing (and probably language, but I don't remember their wording). [[User:Rusalkii|<span style="color:#259a83">Rusalkii</span>]] ([[User talk:Rusalkii|talk]]) 04:32, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
:Thank you, {{u|Rusalkii}}, it does indeed seem likely (and of course you're always welcome to ask here). However, the two incarnations of the page, though quite similar, are not identical and I don't feel certain enough to block immediately. Please see [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sjchin]].

== MSLA Response ==

Hi - Here is where I'm confused. I thought I had I had noted it at the top and in the references section. I have gone back and added the disclosure to my profile too. How do I add it to the article, so it is correct?

The part I'm trying to understand is the "advocate" or "references" section. There isn't information available from other resources, besides the Agency website and an outdated state directory. If there is going to be a Wikipedia page, then it needs to be accurate. If it cannot be accurate, or if we cannot edit it to be accurate, then I need to have it deleted. The incorrect information, as we are a State Agency, can truly harm our Agency. The information I provided in my revision is taken directly from our website, which I am in charge of... so again, I don't know what else to do. DanCherek keeps saying I have to release it into the public domain in Wikipedia, and I went through the automated thing... I'm waiting on a response. But the information that is on there now is wholly inaccurate and points to pages that do not exist.

What is my next step?  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:LibraryLadyA|LibraryLadyA]] ([[User talk:LibraryLadyA#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/LibraryLadyA|contribs]]) 21:29, 28 December 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Hi, {{u|LibraryLadyA}}! Your first step is to disclose your relationship (which I assume is a paid one?) to the library; I've left instructions for that on your user talk-page. Thereafter you may request changes to the article using {{tl|request edit}} on the talk-page ([[Talk:Maryland State Library]]); please ensure that you provide [[WP:RS|independent reliable sources]] (''i.e.'', sources not connected to the library) when doing so. Please note that the page does not belong to you but to Wikipedia; that we simply do not care if you don't like what it says or if you want it to say something different; and that our content is based (almost) exclusively on what [[WP:RS|independent sources]] say. We ''do'' care if there are glaring errors of verifiable fact in the page – please mention those on the talk-page. [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 21:49, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Justlettersandnumbers.

I have updated my profile to reflect that I'm an employee of the Maryland State Library Agency. It looks like this: $ This user, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by Maryland State Library Agency for their contributions to Maryland State Library.

Here's where the issue arises - there are no independent resources for this. We are the resource. There are no places outside of our website and outdated government pages from the State of Maryland that would have this information. In fact, MOST of the information I have been able to find, I've had to update because it was wrong, outdated, or misleading. So now what? If I can't provide that, then what am I supposed to do? The page is inaccurate, and if read by our stakeholders (The Governor, State Legislators, County/City executives), could potentially harm us. If I cannot have the page updated to reflect the accurate information found on our website, then I need the page deleted.

:{{u|LibraryLadyA}}, you may [[WP:AfD|nominate it for deletion]] if you wish. You'll need to disclose your [[WP:PAID|paid connection]] to the topic, and to provide convincing evidence that the library is not [[WP:NCORP|notable by our standards]]. Good luck!

==IEEE Mildred Dresselhaus Medal and other IEEE awards page activity==
I work for the not-for-profit IEEE. I have edited my user page to reflect this. Every year IEEE awards various well-respected medals and prizes to researchers and professionals in the electrical and electronics engineering fields.  There are Wikipedia pages for most of these awards. See the list here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IEEE_awards I update the relevant pages after the awards ceremony. In doing so, I include links to Wikipedia page for the recipient, if there there is one. I also correct and/or correct reference links and update the Awards and Honors sections of those individual's pages if there is one. Note that these recipients are not employed or necessarily otherwise associated with IEEE. 

Occasionally IEEE institutes a new award in a relevant field. When that happens I try to create a new Wikipedia page for that award. This is what was done for the [IEEE Mildred Dresselhaus Medal]. Please reconsider the deletion of this page. Note that another user, AFAIK unrelated to IEEE, has added a link to this page on this page for the award recipient: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristina_M._Johnson#Awards_and_honors That said, since this is a new award for 2021, there are very few available references, thus the use of text from an IEEE website page. The site owner has approved this use. (How can I affirm that?) As more awards are given, there will be more references added to the page (as is done with other similar pages...)

I don't think this activity contravenes Wikipedia policy. It is purely informational, ensuring the accuracy and currency of these pages. By adding to the recipient's pages I am enhancing the available information for them. I have been doing this consistently for at least 5 years, after some initial contact and apparent approval from other Wikipedia "overseer" editors.
[[User:Dgoessling|Dgoessling]] ([[User talk:Dgoessling|talk]]) 18:16, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
:Thanks for finally making an appropriate [[WP:PAID|disclosure]], {{u|Dgoessling}}. Please read and take note of our [[WP:PAY|guidance for editors with a paid conflict of interest]], particularly where it reads "{{teal|you are '''strongly discouraged''' from editing affected articles directly}}". You should instead propose any ''necessary'' changes on the article talk-page, using {{tl|request edit}} if you like, and taking care to disclose your paid connection each time. If you want to create a new page you may do so in draft space (with the usual disclosure), and submit it for review by an independent [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] reviewer. 
:I deleted [[IEEE Mildred Dresselhaus Medal]] as "[[WP:G12]], Unambiguous copyright infringement of https://corporate-awards.ieee.org/corporate-awards/", so I will not reconsider – we don't restore copyright violations, full stop. There are instructions for donating written materials to Wikipedia [[WP:DCM|here]], but in practice such content is rarely if ever found suitable for use in this encyclopaedia; it is almost always quicker and easier to write new content in your own words. If there are few or no [[WP:RS|independent reliable sources]] for this or any similar award, Wikipedia will not have a page about it; that doesn't preclude a mention of it in the page on the society itself. Please ask if you have further questions! [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers#top|talk]]) 19:15, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
