User talk:MrOllie

Hello, welcome to my talk page!

If you want to leave a message, please do it at the bottom, as a new section, for better formatting. You can do that by simply pressing the plus sign (+) or "new section" on the top of this page. And don't forget to sign your messages with four tildes, like this: ~~~~

Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

Inappropriate External Links

Hi, I am new to editing but am curious as to why my addition was deemed as an inappropriate external link. I wasn't trying to link to the website, I was just trying to cite the website I got the information from. Perhaps, I did the citation incorrectly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rehancoc1012 (talk • contribs)

Advertising materials such as vendor blogs are not acceptable sources or links on Wikipedia. - MrOllie (talk) 18:34, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

See WP:ELNO, you have been adding inappropriate external links alongside your contributions. - MrOllie (talk) 13:20, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Forget it Miosis042, I see him/her as a wikipedia bully. Behaving as holier than thou Rahuldevnow (talk) 16:03, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Links on Data Masking Page

Hi,

It seems you have deleted the links on the data masking page. However, you didn't delete the links from other vendors like IRI. Any particular reason? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mentis John (talk • contribs)

I didn't review all the links on the page, I was just dealing with the set that had been recently added, and which had been systematically spammed by two other user accounts previously. - MrOllie (talk) 16:14, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

I understand the rules regarding the promotion of vendors. I just expect the rules to be the same for everyone. Just because someone did it previously doesn't make it right, does it? - --Mentis John (talk) 17:39, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Toe box

Hi MrOllie. I see you reverted my content move from Toebox to Toe box. I may have done this incorrectly, but if so, can you please arrange for the copy to be done in the proper manner? Thanks! Lambtron talk 15:29, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Lambtron, I left a template explanation and instructions on your talk page. MrOllie (talk) 15:31, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

I couldn't move Toebox to Toe box because Toe box already existed as redirect to Toebox. How to fix this? Lambtron talk 15:33, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Lambtron, By following the instructions at requested moves as it says on your talk page. MrOllie (talk) 15:39, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

That's because MrOllie AKA Wikipedia bully is prejudiced Rahuldevnow (talk) 16:05, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Removal reasons?

I added references and a bit of important information on the topic. I wondering why tthey were removed. Tanrobby (talk) 04:28, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Because I wasn't born yesterday - when someone with an obvious conflict of interest adds something and gets reverted, and then 'new' accounts show up to make the exact same edit, it is pretty obvious what is going on. - MrOllie (talk) 12:40, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

yts

@MrOllie:, i don't think I'm elevating anything to be honest as YTS.AG is by far one of the most popular torrent sites in existence already. So i believe it's fine. Jaconsarto (talk) 17:32, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Jaconsarto, 'It's popular' is not a reason to change the sectioning of the article about the original group, especially in a way that is inaccurate to the text. Take it up on the article's talk page rather than edit warring. MrOllie (talk) 17:34, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

@MrOllie:, should i start a talk page discussion or a RFC? Jaconsarto (talk) 17:54, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

@MrOllie:, i guess I'll start an RFC tomorrow. Hope you will participate in it. Jaconsarto (talk) 17:54, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Paid Contributor

Recently several of my updates to the Electrical Transient Analyzer Program were reverted. My changes were simple updates to the general information about the company. An updated company logo, a new company building picture, etc. Really minor changes, just to bring the information up-to-date. Yes, I am an employee at ETAP and I am disclosing this info on my profile now. Can I go back and add the reverted information back? What is the best way to make sure new information is being considered? I looked at other company pages and they show pictures of their buildings, updated company logos etc. Please advise. Thanks Tnoack1 (talk) 21:00, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Tnoack1, No, you should read WP:COI thoroughly and make edit requests on the article talk page for other users to review from now on. MrOllie (talk) 21:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

ok, thanks, will do. Does this only apply to edits on ETAP or all of my edits on Wikipedia Tnoack1 (talk) 21:33, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Tnoack1, Any edit that relates to your employer or that you otherwise have a conflict of interest about. MrOllie (talk) 21:43, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Would like to remove personal attack from archive

Hi Mr. Ollie,

I restored previous articles that were removed on the claim that they were "unproductive". You removed them again. It does not matter whether they were removed by archiving: mine was removed without my permission. Once I improve the main article ("Software Engineer") the way I promised in the "Talk" section of it, then it may be archived. However, until then I would like to restore my talk. Would you allow me to restore my discussion (i.e. "talk" section)? Else I will rewrite it anew.

Nevertheless, there was a personal attack posted in my section. This does not deserve to be archived. How may I remove it?

Thanks, 17:57, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
