= I Don't know you can help or not but I believe that honesty exists in many people, so I dare to ask help. Can you help to reopen the article, Zarb-e-Sukhan of Ehsan Sehgal which was dishonestly removed, while it had multiple authentic sources, even though, ill motives contributors removed that unfairly. I found it on Google search - https://en.wikiredia.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Zarb-e-Sukhan. Please save Wikipedia from such ones. Thanks.

== [[Murder of Deanna Criswell]] ==

Hi
Could you look over this article? phrases such as "Criswell had been involved with him" don't adequately convey that what happened between Deanna and her suspected killer wasn't an actual romantic relationship of equals. Plus Wikipedia should avoid doing in our voice, however small, what the media has done and treating Knight as her boyfriend when her family has stated that they feel he was a predatory pedophile, given that he was in his thirties and she was sixteen. [[User:PAustin4thApril1980|PAustin4thApril1980]] ([[User talk:PAustin4thApril1980|talk]]) 08:41, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
:{{u|PAustin4thApril1980}}, this is a bit of a tough one for me as I can see where you are coming from with this. From a quick look-over (from a Wikipedia point of view) I don't see how there is much that I can do on this occasion, we can only include what is reported in reliable sources so for me to rephrase parts of the article to change it from a "involved with" to "predatory pedophile" would require reliable sources stating as such, otherwise I believe it falls under editorialising or original research. This is just my opinion though and other editors may disagree.

== Why are more citations needed on List of Jewish Feminists wiki page? ==
== Soundproofing page ==


It's not clear to me why you added a "More Citations Needed" tag. This page is a list of Jewish feminists each with its own Wiki page where citations are presumably included. I'd like to remove this tag but wanted to understand why you added it. [[User:Nnev66|Nnev66]] ([[User talk:Nnev66|talk]]) 22:18, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, ty Greyjoy!
:I would rather not presume that each article has a reliable source. That being said I am willing to remove the tag for now and look into it a bit further, thank you for bringing this up with me.

== Reverting ==


== Yahya Muhammad Hamid ed-Din ==
Greyjoy,
<p>When reverting without proper reflection on the particulars, a normal wiki contributor induces a response as to why per Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Reverting compliance, namely "Before reverting> Consider carefully before reverting, as it rejects the contributions of another editor. Consider what you object to, and what the editor was attempting. Can you improve the edit, bringing progress, rather than reversion?"
<p>is not what you now suppressingly did to vital maliciousness awareness to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bomb sending a generally prepped auto-response:
<p>"Hello, I'm Greyjoy. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Zip bomb have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Greyjoy talk 10:54, 25 February 2020 (UTC)" denoting total nothing to help contributing actual, especially appropriate for this specific https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bomb article, real and last but not to the nearest extend least extremely important, vital and alerting content. Thank you but no.
:I am going to respond to this brick of text as best I can. As per [[Wikipedia:External links]] we try and avoid adding external links in the body of articles, as I mentioned in my edit summaries. It is certainly a bad idea to place links to active decompression bombs on Wikipedia.

<p>Unprecedented (inclusive of over 10 years of contribution) censorship. I was thinking of adding your greyjoy@gmail.com email to my 'friends' list but your brick profile doesn't seem very trustworthy, especially after I initiated this talk mentioning the appropriate steps per Wikipedia (or encyclopedic writing in common) compliance first! It certainly is a made up (as you refer these evaluated dangers to) 'idea' to revert such alerting matter and edit without reasoning in first place acting as an all things governer, unsuit per User_talk:Greyjoy talk page freshness. Are you sure you are Greyjoy or someone posing as a true Wikipeadian plus maybe you are the Wikipedia owner?

== [[Vivian Lee]] page ==
Good morning,


I see a number of problems with the [[Vivian_Lee#Huntsman_Cancer_Institute_controversy]] section on the [[Vivian Lee]] page, should I put this info in a comment for deletion, what do you think? And maybe just put a reference to [[David W. Pershing]] and [[Mary Beckerle]] for further info?
I am trying to update the 3 Medical Regiment page to make it accurate as of today.


- the Huntsman controversy section is highly misleading. Do you have any insight on what happened here? There's no info on what kicked off the controversy (why was [[Mary Beckerle]] fired in the first place? Did it have to do with the last paragraph regarding financial transfers? There's certainly an implication there, is that a fair implication? Was there an investigation? Do you have access to those records?).
Can you let me know if there is a significant reason I am unaware of as to why it cannot be corrected?


- [[Jon Huntsman Sr.]] comes off poorly and the man is dead and can't defend himself. He used his newspaper to wage a campaign here? Was the online petition independent of his campaign, truly a grass-roots effort? He predicted the governor and the legislature was going to be involved? Seriously? Did the governor or the legislature get involved?
Many thanks. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Johnno884|Johnno884]] ([[User talk:Johnno884#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Johnno884|contribs]]) 11:35, 25 February 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

- It's not clear how this reflects on [[Vivian Lee]], there's not any solid information to form an opinion on what actually happened. Did she fire [[Mary Beckerle]] without [[David W. Pershing]]'s consent? Could she do that? Did [[David W. Pershing]] ask for the firing? What really happened? [[Vivian Lee]] seems to just have moved on after many years at the university (how long do deans normally stay?). The controversy seems to be its own thing.
Yes I am the Media Officer and have recently updated the Army Website as well. I need to ensure that the Regt's online presence is accurate. I understand that there are policies about this, but how else can I correct the information contained within the page? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Johnno884|Johnno884]] ([[User talk:Johnno884#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Johnno884|contribs]]) 11:41, 25 February 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:{{u|Johnno884}}, I am going to leave some information on your talk page about editing while you have a conflict of interest, the best course is to leave the requested changes on the article's talk page so that an editor without a COI can assess and implement the changes.

- In the President's entry ([[David W. Pershing]]), it seems like a much smaller thing. Why not move the whole story there instead, if you think this needs to be documented somewhere, with the apparently sub-standard sourcing? Or maybe, in [[Vivian Lee]]'s and [[David W. Pershing]]'s entries, refer to the [[Mary Beckerle]] entry, which also has a small section on this? [[Mary Beckerle]] seems the central character here, no?
== Need Help ==


- [[Jon Huntsman Sr.]]'s own newspaper doesn't seem like appropriate sourcing to corroborate his views, what do you think? Can one use opinion pieces in a self-owned paper as sources on Wikipedia?
Hello Greyjoy,
Thank you for contributing to the page created by me [[Foloosi]]. A user is trying to get the page deleted, which is clearly an attempt of Overzealous Deletion. He left warning messages on the page and created this discussion [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Foloosi]]. It is my 4-hour hardwork.

As a minor edit, if you really think this section should be in there, the way you've laid out the sections doesn't work well. If anything, the Huntsman section should be a subsection of University of Utah. Right now you have the Verily section as a subsection of the controversy. [[Special:Contributions/71.190.177.176|71.190.177.176]] ([[User talk:71.190.177.176|talk]]) 23:56, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
== References ==
:{{u|71.190.177.176}} the best place to have this discussion would be on the article's [[Talk:Vivian Lee|talk page]] so that other editors can also be involved. I reverted your edit because you removed a large referenced section without explanation.


:"why was [[Mary Beckerle]] fired in the first place?", I have not had much to do with this article so I can only respond based on a quick look. Wikipedia articles are based on what is available in reliable sources so if the reason that Beckerle was fired has not been covered in a reliable source it will not be included in the article.
I have provided references as you requested.

:"Huntsman Sr. comes off poorly and the man is dead and can't defend himself." Once again articles are based on what is included in reliable sources and a lot of your questions appear to be speculation or original research, neither of which really belongs in an article.

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.
== Regarding Sports clean-up ==


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
Hello Greyjoy [[File:Smiley.svg|x20px|:-)]],


The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete.

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete.

Im a party member that has the permission to use the information provided on the website for the article, so i dont see there being a copyright issue. The reason why were only able to use primary sources is due to there being no secondary sources due to us being relatively newly formed, and those other sources that make reference to us are done by outside parties that have a conflict of interest and are promoting slanderous/false and misinformed revisions of the events that had happened.

Hello Greyjoy,

I am trying to update the Drivetrain Systems International wiki page and you have reversed the changes I have made due to conflict of interest.

I do work for Drivetrain Systems International so there is a potential conflict of interest however a number items on the DSI page are out of date and now incorrect. What is the best way for us to proceed so we can ensure the information is up to date, correct and represents our current business?

Thank you for your help.

James.
:Since you have a [[Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide|conflict of interest]], the best approach is to put your requested edit on the article's talk page so that editors who are not involved with the company can review them.

Hi. I don't think just removing the [[:Category:People convicted of drug offenses]] in place of Category:X nationality drug traffickers is correct.

Why are more citations needed on List of Jewish Feminists wiki page?

[edit]

It's not clear to me why you added a "More Citations Needed" tag. This page is a list of Jewish feminists each with its own Wiki page where citations are presumably included. I'd like to remove this tag but wanted to understand why you added it. Nnev66 (talk) 22:18, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would rather not presume that each article has a reliable source. That being said I am willing to remove the tag for now and look into it a bit further, thank you for bringing this up with me. I do appreciate you reaching out. Greyjoy talk 22:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The issue with having assuming each article is referenced can be seen with this edit, in which multiple entries fail to include mentions of feminism or being Jewish, yet alone references to support these claims. Greyjoy talk 23:06, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your response! I'm starting to look through these pages to see if there are any that shouldn't be there. A couple are borderline but most look fine to me (I'm only through column one though). I realize this is a grey area. Nnev66 (talk) 19:34, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vivian Lee page

[edit]

I see a number of problems with the Vivian_Lee#Huntsman_Cancer_Institute_controversy section on the Vivian Lee page, should I put this info in a comment for deletion, what do you think? And maybe just put a reference to David W. Pershing and Mary Beckerle for further info?

- the Huntsman controversy section is highly misleading. Do you have any insight on what happened here? There's no info on what kicked off the controversy (why was Mary Beckerle fired in the first place? Did it have to do with the last paragraph regarding financial transfers? There's certainly an implication there, is that a fair implication? Was there an investigation? Do you have access to those records?).

- Jon Huntsman Sr. comes off poorly and the man is dead and can't defend himself. He used his newspaper to wage a campaign here? Was the online petition independent of his campaign, truly a grass-roots effort? He predicted the governor and the legislature was going to be involved? Seriously? Did the governor or the legislature get involved?

- It's not clear how this reflects on Vivian Lee, there's not any solid information to form an opinion on what actually happened. Did she fire Mary Beckerle without David W. Pershing's consent? Could she do that? Did David W. Pershing ask for the firing? What really happened? Vivian Lee seems to just have moved on after many years at the university (how long do deans normally stay?). The controversy seems to be its own thing.

- In the President's entry (David W. Pershing), it seems like a much smaller thing. Why not move the whole story there instead, if you think this needs to be documented somewhere, with the apparently sub-standard sourcing? Or maybe, in Vivian Lee's and David W. Pershing's entries, refer to the Mary Beckerle entry, which also has a small section on this? Mary Beckerle seems the central character here, no?

- Jon Huntsman Sr.'s own newspaper doesn't seem like appropriate sourcing to corroborate his views, what do you think? Can one use opinion pieces in a self-owned paper as sources on Wikipedia?

As a minor edit, if you really think this section should be in there, the way you've laid out the sections doesn't work well. If anything, the Huntsman section should be a subsection of University of Utah. Right now you have the Verily section as a subsection of the controversy. 71.190.177.176 (talk) 23:56, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

71.190.177.176 the best place to have this discussion would be on the article's talk page so that other editors can also be involved. I reverted your edit because you removed a large referenced section without explanation.
"why was Mary Beckerle fired in the first place?", I have not had much to do with this article so I can only respond based on a quick look. Wikipedia articles are based on what is available in reliable sources so if the reason that Beckerle was fired has not been covered in a reliable source it will not be included in the article.
"Huntsman Sr. comes off poorly and the man is dead and can't defend himself." Once again articles are based on what is included in reliable sources and a lot of your questions appear to be speculation or original research, neither of which really belongs in an article.
I would suggest taking your questions to the article talk page so that users who have had more to do with this article can weigh in with your inquiries. Greyjoy talk 06:56, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

[edit]

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
