== Need a Dutch-speaking admin ==

Hi fellow admin. You and {{U|Ruud Koot}} are the only administrators I can find who also know Dutch. I'm writing to you because you seem to be online a bit more frequently.

I was hoping you might help to resolve an issue over at [[Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention#User-reported]]. If you have a moment, would you please read the conversation under the entry for the username "Poepkop"? It's a conversation between two users who claim to be Dutch. Poepkop has been on Wikipedia for 2 years and seems like a constructive editor, who claims that his username is not profane or disruptive. The other editor is an IP user who insists that it is a violation of [[Wikipedia:Username policy]], and should be treated the same way as we treat usernames that contain the German word "Sheiß" (block the user or have the user rename the account).

Thanks. ~[[User:Amatulic|Amatulić]] <small>([[User talk:Amatulic#top|talk]])</small> 20:08, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

3D Hubs discussion

Hi Amatulić, Thanks for reviewing my article! I know 3D Hubs well, but I don't have any conflict of interest with them. I'm totallly new to wikipedia (as an editor), I just know some html and I copied the format of the page from wikis of other similar companies. Sorry if some parts seemed overly enthusiastic, hope it's okay now. Cheers, (User talk:Kisg24 09:35, 17 October 2014)

Nice job cleaning up /High-frequency_trading

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-frequency_trading


Spent a lot of time on it and it really needed a good clean up !!!


cheers !!!


looks amazing now


Brad Katsuyama is a financial services executive, working as the president, CEO and co-founder of the IEX, the Investors Exchange. Katsuyama is also the focus of Flash Boys, a non-fiction book by Michael Lewis about high frequency trading (HFT) in financial markets. Brad Katsuyama led a team that implemented THOR, a securities order-management system that splits large orders into many different sub-orders that arrive at the same time to all the exchanges through the use of intentional delays. Starting at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the largest future exchange in the world is the location where Spread Networks started a 827 mile long fiber optic line all the way to the Bats Exchange, Inc in Northern New Jersey.

Robert Eringer talk page

Can you have a look at Talk:Robert_Eringer#Advert_tag I've got a administrative editor who thinks it cool to trash other works when you contest his AfD nomination. I'm the paid editor you helped with Robert Eringer, I don't believe I can remove even an unwarranted Advert tag from the article space. Cheers -- 009o9 (talk) 01:16, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like someone else took care of it. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:24, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Page Issues For Artist

(moved to User talk:Joeysevenforever)

Nick Catchdubs

Hi, I happened to find that Nick Catchdubs has been deleted three times and the page is created from creation. It looks like significant new information has come to light since a deletion that would justify recreating the deleted page. Below are the sources which prove the subject passes WP:GNG and WP:BAND criterion #1.

I suppose you are the administrator who salted the page. Can you please unsalt the page? 153.206.5.198 (talk) 21:24, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, let's look at those:
Except for one marginally decent source listed above, I'm not seeing coverage of Catchdubs. Plenty of sources seem to provide brief coverage of his works, and there are plenty of trivial mentions, but no significant coverage that has any depth. Sorry, I am not seeing a compelling case for notability here. You are welcome to create a new article in draft space and submit it for review., but I must decline to de-salt the article on the basis of those sources. ~Amatulić (talk) 00:44, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Page move discussion

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Nur Ali Elahi#Requested move 15 October 2015. You were involved in a previous discussion about moving this page (ca. Nov. 2007). Thanks. Gyrofrog (talk) 14:59, 16 October 2015 (UTC)Template:Z48[reply]

iBooks Author

Amatulic, the iBooks Author page is locked which explains why the information on the page is very old. If you'll unlock the page, I'll add information on version 2.3 and 2.4 and the just-completed iBooks Author Conference. Right now, the page's condition is so poor it might as well be deleted - the information is extremely out of date. Thanks - Metrock — Preceding unsigned comment added by BMetrock (talk • contribs) 02:41, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@BMetrock: It isn't locked, it's semi protected to prevent drive-by spamming and other COI edits. Any confirmed user account may edit it. It looks like in 2 days you will automatically gain that status (you need 4 days and 10 edits). ~Amatulić (talk) 20:11, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I just saw your comments to me on Scrapironiv's page. (I can't reply to you there, however.) If you look at my edits, most of them are copyediting and cleanup. There may be a couple of items I could add a source for, but I was just aligning them with their source pages. (To be honest, I think we have way too many US Navy articles, and keeping all their info current and matching is a pain in the butt). Anyway... I didn't want to make any further edits today for fear of violating 3RR myself. But tomorrow, I will certainly get back at it. As for Scrapironiv, he did violate 3RR, right after I warned him. He has 2 recent blocks for this and knows better. Also, the reverts were not justified. If you look at my edits, many of them were perfectly ok and the wholesale undoing of all of them was just silly. (As were the multiple templates he stuck on my page. - That was baiting.) The insulting use of my username and the heavy-handed "you wanna go outside?" was also out of line. He was basically looking for more, but I disengaged. With the totality of all this, along with the 3RR, I feel a sanction is warranted. That is why I brought it to ANI. As for me, I already acknowledged I could have handled it better, but his actions and attitude were quite antagonistic and frustrating. There is certainly a disparity between out behavior and actions here, but I'll leave it up to you an accept any decisions you make. You've been fair with me before. Cheers. - theWOLFchild 19:14, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Thewolfchild: I suggest you make your minor changes one section at a time, not a wholesale large edit. Then it would be more clear what, exactly, the dispute is about. The other editor may not object to the minor updates. But he has a good point in that sources should be cited, particularly for substantive changes.
Also, please stop posting on his talk page. You may use the {{ping|username}} tag (like I did for you) to notify someone that you are addressing them, on the article talk page. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:27, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Uh, yeah... I just saw your comment. WHY would you say that? I haven't posted there in hours. In my comment above I already stated I can't reply to you there. In the ANI I clearly explained why there is a reply from me, a few minutes after he asked me not to post there. That is NOT harassment and your comments, especially about my 'history' are completely unnecessary and unwarranted. Please remove them, they only serve to inflame the situation and create an imbalance. Like I said... I haven't posted there in hours, and certainly didn't post anything "harassing". (it's not as if I posted multiple bogus templates, or bastardized his username as an insult, or threatened to escalate the dispute...) WTH dude? - theWOLFchild 19:36, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that, I reverted myself. I saw multiple instances of him saying to stay off his talk page, and I wasn't paying close enough attention to the time stamps of the comments, noticing only that they all were dated today. If someone has to ask you more than once, it suggests harrassment, and I admit my response was hasty. I apologize. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:09, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

speaking of...

This editor "scrapironiv", have you had a look at his contribs? In the short time he has been here, he has amassed a large number of edits, almost exclusively by use of tools such as reviewer and rollbacker. Some of these are controversial. Other than the recent issue at USN ships, I suggest you look at the article Peter Lindbergh. He has just gutted that page. He removed a lot of hard work, some due to "sourcing", even though he has recently been advised that in many cases it is more appropriate to add a template requesting citations. A large amount of work was removed due to wp:notdir. This is an artist and he has removed the lists of all his works (something that is actually allowed).

Now as you've seen, this editor is capable of being extremely hostile and confrontational, (something I wish to avoid) and he is making many, many edits removing people's work and templating them when other less inflammatory options are available. That's why I'm bringing this to your attention. You have just investigated this editor for a complaint and interacted with him, so as an admin it's certainly within your purview to look further. I have seen good editors brought to ANI and sanctioned for less than what this person has done. But again, I will leave this to you. I've had enough of ANI and dealing with troublesome editors and biased admins found there. I wish to avoid it altogether. I really wish to avoid further problems than what I've seen from just looking at these two articles. - theWOLFchild 11:30, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

UAA/Bot

Hi. Your recent edits to WP:UAA/BOT (diff) appear to have copied in the content of an entire template, making the source of the article very difficult for others to read or manipulate. This is probably because you inadvertently used the "subst" qualifier to substitute in the text of the template, instead of simply using the template without substitution. Could you please not do that? Kind regards, -- The Anome (talk) 01:41, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Noormohammed satya

Hi! I understand that you have unblocked the subject user Noormohammed satya to give them a WP:FRESHSTART. But the problem with this user was excessive promotion of stuff related to Indian TV shows and such. Post unblocking, this hasn't changed and has resulted in creation of some templates now placed in Category:Gold Awards. Some of these templates were deleted before but are now recreated. Another problem with these templates is that they fail WP:V as there are no sources backing this up on the template or even the article Zee Gold Awards that relates to this. I wouldn't mind fixing the issue but the problem is that these so-called "awards" given by a TV production house Zee TV isn't much independent and more like their own very long advertisement that spreads on various levels. Putting efforts on such a advertorial isn't wise and hampers WP by falling into WP:NOT category. Can something be done?

You deleted the draft page that I have been working on

You deleted the page I was working and your reasons are so off the mark its astonishing. Firstly you accuse me of using Wiki as a hosting site, what on earth do you mean by this, it makes no sense to me. For your information I have my own hosting and have no need for the use of Wiki's.

I refer to my friend as a client as I am doing some working for him for FREE. Yes for FREE. He has never paid me a penny for any work I have done for him as he is a friend. However, if I choose to call him a client it is because I have a lot of respect for his work and the work he has done with other great artists, actors and more in the UK.

He his held in very high regard in the industry as an artist, animator, film maker and animator.

He has worked with the greatest artists, musicians, songwriters, composers and actors of our generation.

You said I hadnt worked on his page for over a year, did you not see the added references and citations I added 4 weeks ago?!!!! I guess not. You have removed a tremendous amount of work and research that I fit in for Devlin my friend and client with absolutely no regard for the facts.

I am sure if I told Sir Peter Blake, Pete Townsend, Andy Serkis and many others he works with, what has been happening here they would not be happy.

You have insulted many people by your flippent inaccurate response to me and I insist that my draft be reinstated with immediate effect.


The British Film Institute acknowledges his work, IMDB, Art Galleries all over the world, Art Filmhouses all over and we found out his latest work is nominated for an award along with Sir Peter Blake in Chicago just a week ago.

This is the second time this site has removed the draft and if it wasnt that my friend wants his page on here I wouldnt bother again.

I would like a speedy response and the page reinstated as a matter of urgency as I do not have time to repeat work over and over because someone on wiki decides to delete it without any consideration for the user.

When I asked for help on many occasions to ensure the draft would be accepted, no-one got back to me. So I thank Wiki for their lack of support too.

If I sound annoyed and frustrated thats because I am, I am furious. I do not appreciate being told I am a liar and a chancer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Devlin crow (talk • contribs) 00:09, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher)If you are not Devlin Crow, then you have chosen to masquerade as Devlin Crow. As far as we know, "Devlin Crow" has chosen to create an autobiography here and has ignored every bit of guidance offered along the way. Autobiographies are strongly discouraged on Wikipedia.
If you are not Devlin Crow, then why have you been impersonating them when uploading images?
Either way, Google searches don't give a single result that shows that Mr. Crow meets Wikipedia's notability requirements. Wikipedia is not a listing service or social media site. There are well-explained notability requirements for all article subjects here. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 03:43, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Devlin crow: You don't appreciate being called a liar? Then stop lying. Your user page was an advertisement masquerading as an article, and your username is false as well. I'm willing to restore your draft in draft space, but frankly, you have NOT demonstrated any "matter of urgency" so far. Would you care to explain what you mean by that? We are all volunteers here, and we are not subject to any arbitrary schedule you may have. ~Amatulić (talk) 13:13, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
