Deletion of Bonzoi in Wikipedia

My name is Armen Chircorian, founder of Bonzoi.com. I have been attempting to create a page, and have been repeatedly unsuccessful. Is Wikipedia interested in knowing what Bonzoi is offering to the whole world? i offered my email through my secretary and need assistance in creating this Wikipedia page. Any content i put was to be a test anyway, as i am entirely unaware of this presentation format. Let's see what the Wikipedia authors can do for Bonzoi in presenting Bonzoi as a page with a description of its services to the world. The Sandbox did not even work for us to test content and see a page, so how would we present data or material to you is really the important question at this point that needs to be answered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.168.211.92 (talk) 18:21, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • (talk page stalker) Be sure to read WP:COI before proceeding. While editing articles about yourself or your website isn't strictly prohibited, it is strongly discouraged. Articles are best written by someone who doesn't have ownership or work for the subject matter. Dennis Brown (talk) 18:29, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and only hosts articles about things that have become sufficiently notable to be written about by multiple reliable sources - it is not a business directory, and is not interested in describing everything that exists on the Internet. The Bonzoi article was deleted because it gave no indication as to why the website was important or notable - and a previous version was deleted because it also consisted of promotional-sounding material copied from elsewhere. To create an article that does not get deleted, you will first need to satisfy the notability requirements of WP:NWEB, and then find multiple reliable independent sources that write about the site in a way that shows that notability - you can find information about identifying reliable sources at WP:RS. Finally, as Dennis Brown suggests, you should read Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest guidelines at WP:COI, which generally suggest that you should not create articles about subjects in which you have a vested interest - if it's notable, it is very likely that an uninvolved person will write about it in due course -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:37, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Typo?

Here [1] you say "you will not be blocked", but don't you mean unblocked? JanetteDoe (talk) 20:09, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, got it, thanks! -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:13, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of Talk:Nuclear model

Did you redirect my talk nuclear model as of 11:14 1 March? It says you did but doesn't show up in your history. I'm curious to know how you got involved in this. Thank you.WFPM (talk) 21:40, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, I remember now. It came up at articles for speedy deletion as a Talk page of an article that did not exist (reason G8). I checked and found the article itself had been redirected, so I redirected the Talk page too. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:47, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, the article itself, Nuclear model, was redirected to Atomic nucleus#Nuclear models on March 15 last year, so there hasn't been a valid article at Nuclear model for quite some time -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:51, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
But a deletion noticed was filed on 04:24 1 March and then bang you come along and redirect it at 11:14. Isn't there a protocol that involves some discussion about the subject matter during the notice period? I originally tried to get it into Nuclear model and they pushed me into the talk section. So all you redirected was the name and none of the discussion material.WFPM (talk) 22:21, 7 March 2012 (UTC)You'll notice that there is no mention of nuclear models in the articleAtomic nucleus.WFPM (talk) 22:33, 7 March 2012 (UTC)Excuse Me! I did find the section which doesn't merit discussion.WFPM (talk) 22:37, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy deletion is for articles that fall into one of the categories that doesn't need discussion, and a leftover Talk page for a non-existent article is one of them. However, in this case, I redirected it rather than deleting it, and so it is all still there in the history of the page. If you think there is any discussion there that would be relevant at Talk:Atomic nucleus, you'd welcome to copy it over - you can get it from http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Nuclear_model&oldid=478791686. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:43, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Could you send me that link to my talk page so I could have it in my talk page for further reference?WFPM (talk) 23:04, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'll post it there shortly -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 23:13, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Problems at Kaul

See this, which is the third time that they have entered this stuff, despite me starting a discussion at Talk:Kaul and twice mentioning some of the issues on the user's talk page. - Sitush (talk) 13:37, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked - will unblock if they agree to not re-add it until they have a Talk page consensus -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:09, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Fine by me, thanks. - Sitush (talk) 14:11, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, btw, I found a list today. There seems to be no end to these various attempts to align names with groups! - Sitush (talk) 14:34, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sigh! I've commented on the AfD -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:50, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Simon Raymond/ Raphael Bouchier

HI I see you have edited the Simon Raymond page. I have to ask you to add the initial actor Raphael Bouchier to this page. Initially Raphael portrayed a much younger Simon and lived at home with his abusive dad Terry. His Sister Tiffany visited her dad and saw how badly her younger brother was treated and brought him home to Walford. It was then he started his affair with Tony. He was a lot older and Simon and this was another cause of controversy. Due to several complaints by the general public Raphael was replaced with Andrew Lynford who was more Tony's age. Raphael now does the odd acting part and is a successful abstract artist.

Hope you do not dismiss this because this story was a important part to Simon and Tony, Many thanks

Hi. It was the Raphael Bouchier article I deleted, and I have not edited the Simon Raymond article. I deleted Raphael Bouchier because it looked like a hoax - there isn't a single mention of a "Raphael Bouchier" playing that character, or indeed doing anything of note at all, that I can find via a Google search. It is possible I was mistaken and that there really is a notable actor called "Raphael Bouchier", and it is possible that he played that character. But you will need to provide a reliable source to support your assertion if you wish him to be added to the Simon Raymond article, and you will need to provide sufficient evidence of notability if you wish to create an article about him -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:11, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey you did not even Google Raphael Bouchier and you deleted that page. He is a real actor singer and artist. Please reverse the deletion because you did not even research him. Please do not discredit this actor. Ollie — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.195.37.220 (talk) 12:08, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See my reply to the message above -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:12, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=hts&oq=&hl=en-GB&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GPCK_enGB357GB357&q=Raphael+Bouchier If only you did this before deleting. He has done so much for LGT communities too. I have reported this deletion by email so I hope the deletion is reversed Ollie — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.195.37.220 (talk) 12:18, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A random search of all occurrences of "Raphael" and "Bouchier" is of no use at all. I searched, and I did not see a single reliable source that supports any of the claims you make. However, if I missed it, all you need to do is identify the actual source that supports your claims - the onus is on *you* to provide sources to support your claims -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:34, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also The storyline that included Raphael was rewritten due to the public outcry and hence he was replaced. If anyone remembers the scene where Tony goes into a gay club and he starts to talk to Simon. Later Simon asks Tony "do you want to come back" Tony says "I dunno" but follows Simon anyway. You then see Simon at the top of the stairs and looks down to Tony and says "coming up" the scene ends with Tony walking up the stairs and the door closes. The next scene with Simon it was not Raphael and but was Andrew. It was a shame but Raphael was a lot younger than Tony and this was another complaint. Ollie — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.195.37.220 (talk) 12:31, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you cannot provide a reliable source to support your claims, I'm simply not interested - and I have no interest at all in the storyline. So please either provide a reliable source (you really should read WP:RS), or stop bothering me - I shall simply ignore or any further communication from you that does not provide a source to support your claims. (Also, please note that you should not start a new section here every time you wish to reply - just add your comment to the bottom of the existing section.) -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:37, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and if you wish to contest the deletion, WP:DRV is that way -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:39, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pass a Method and ANI strike

Is this strike appropriate? He's striking one IP's comments but pointing to a different IP, thus somehow connecting the two. I was tempted to revert but don't feel comfortable enough doing so. Please take a look. Thanks. (As I was writing this, the IP reverted Pass's strike.)--Bbb23 (talk) 19:47, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've warned him, and will block him if he does it again -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:54, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I guess my instincts were right, but I prefer to tread carefully, particularly in this area. Thanks for your help.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:56, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The blocked IP is blocked purely for being a Chinese proxy, not for "stalking" - the IP he struck a couple of times is in Seattle -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:02, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia suddenly using ads

Hi, Boing! said Zebedee. Do you know why Wikipedia is suddenly using ads? I thought the project was generally against this. I would ask this at User talk:Jimbo Wales, but I feel that one of the administrators there may block me for being an open proxy. And though I will be through with this proxy after today, I'm currently still using it (obviously). 50.17.15.172 (talk) 23:50, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've only seen the Wikimania promo, if that's what you mean - and as that's a Wikimedia thing, I doubt they'd include that. Or is there anything else? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 23:55, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm seeing regular ads, like the type you see at various websites -- video games, food, and so on. I figured it must just be me since I don't see any post about it on Jimbo's talk page, but I wasn't seeing this yesterday. It's happening on Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, and I'm sure that it'd be like that if I opened any other browser. 50.17.15.172 (talk) 00:03, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That is weird - I'm not seeing anything like that at all (on a Mac using Firefox, Safari or Chrome). And yeah, I'd have expected there to be lots of complaints about the place if everyone was seeing them. Sure you've not been infected with any malware? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 00:08, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'm using Norton Internet Security protection and it says that eveything is clean/safe, so I don't know. I did download a few things yesterday, so maybe I caught something that isn't a virus or otherwise malicious? I don't know, but I'll see what I can do to figure this out or just get rid of it without an explanation. Thank you for your help. What I do know is that at the right-hand corner, it says AdChoices, like at other sites. Looks like legit ads, except that I'm seeing them on Wikipedia. 50.17.15.172 (talk) 00:22, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
