User talk:Njd-de

Hello!

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate your work, I don't see the reasons to remove all my amendments and additions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lavocedelcoro (talk • contribs) 00:06, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello Lavocedelcoro. I reverted your edits, as I didn't see any inline references to reliable sources. This article is in a bad shape already, and we shouldn't add more improperly sourced content on top. – NJD-DE (talk) 00:29, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

About the edits you reversed

Hi, am not sure how I am supposed to respond to your notification, but I wanted to ensure you that the articles I have linked are not biased and my only motivation is to inform the public. It is simply information from a journal which offers free evidence-based peer-reviewed research. I hope the changes are kept, thank you. Olga Nottmeyer (talk) 13:14, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Olga Nottmeyer. The message on your talkpage is quite clear, and it should be quite simple to respond to it as well. Quoting the two probably most important sentences of my previous message:

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists.

Whatever you say your motivation was, the changes will remain reverted for now. – NJD-DE (talk) 13:33, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Lahore Grammar School - edits removed

Hi Njd-de, Just wanted to ask why my edits were removed from the page 'Lahore Grammar School'? The information posted was not defamatory or libellous as this is what occurred, as outlined by various news sources, including MangoBaaz and Pakistan Today. A response as soon as is convenient would be much appreciated.

Hi AmmarHammadKhan, I reverted your edits as you didn't provide references to reliable sources. While I am writing this I also noticed you apparently are personally involved in this. As such you have a conflict of interest, and are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly. Instead you may request edits on the article talk page. I will leave a note on your personal talk page with further info. – NJD-DE (talk) 19:09, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Rumelian Romani

Another one who annoys me, what's the name in romani for rumeli romanes in your opinion, not Rumelijake? You deleted it, you should know then another name, isnt it? just keep writing about us roma ... we know our dialects and that's enough, the english wikipedia has some users who think they are gods. e.g. all roma from the former yugoslavia have their own page, only the roma from montenegro is redirected to the main page of the romani every time by the same users ... where is the point? I'm tired of ... --Nalanidil (talk) 23:28, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello Nalanidil, it was not my intention to annoy you, and there's no need to hold a grudge against me. I had even been writing a replacement for the templated-warning, but didn't publish as your removal was quicker. Based on the Bareurls-template removal I was honestly surprised to see that you have your account since over six years already.

Anyway, regarding "Rumelijake Romanes": you added that term along with a reference linking to https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/pasp1238. I opened that website and nowhere there it said "Rumelijake Romanes". Why on earth would you add this and add a reference, when that reference doesn't verify it?

I don't know the full story about that article that you say is being redirected. I do however have the impression you are close to (or already in the middle of) a WP:BATTLEGROUND situation. – NJD-DE (talk) 23:42, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Reasons for reverting edit about Alex Ludwig?

What are the reasons? Maria G Hammer (talk) 19:16, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Maria G Hammer, I mentioned some of the reasons already in the edit summaries, but here's some more info:

• File:Screenshot 20220108-174347 Samsung Internet.jpg was a copyright violation (Facebook).
• Infobox and lead should mention what they are most known for. That's not him being an athlete or his single.
• Adding unnecessary external links to Youtube.
• opened the gates of Hollywood for him is not very encyclopedic.

Hope that explains it. In case you have any affiliation with Alexander Ludwig, you may have a conflict of interest and should not edit the article directly but instead propose changes on the article talk page. Let me know if you have any questions. – NJD-DE (talk) 23:47, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Mega Image Article

Hello I would like to rephrase what I said as you do not seem to understand. The mega Image article has very little information on it and a article going into depth on what they sell could be very useful for certain people out there, I am not saying that it should be reverted to the article made by the User 24.50.234.99 Because his citing and grammer was an issue. But I think it needs to be REWRITTEN, not REMOVED. I would like to ask of you if you are open to having a new article in place describing what Mega Image sells with cited information and good word structure. This wikipedia article is in dire need of more information and your word on what would make this article better and more informational would be very helpful. And for context I did not make that article for Products they sell Thankyou hope to hear back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BeamingNG (talk • contribs) 22:48, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi BeamingNG, lack of references and bad grammar were an issue. But honestly, it's also completely unnecessary to mention that Mega Image sells Tomatoes, bread and cheese, and Cleaning supply's for a residencial home like paper towels, sponges, hygienic paper, dish soap. It's chain of supermarkets in Romania, and not a kiosk on top of Mount Everest. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a product catalogue. Also verifiability does matter. An article is better without random unsourced information than with it. If you do wish to edit here once your block expires, then it might be useful for you to familiarize yourself with some of the policies and guidelines in the meantime. – NJD-DE (talk) 23:28, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Reverting Vaxart's Updates

Curious why you are reverting Vaxart's Wiki page after I've updated with an image of the HQ (in which I took, so no copyright infringement)? I have cited all of my sources for updating their press releases. Can you please stop?— Preceding unsigned comment added by BGirST (talk • contribs) 19:33, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello BGirST, please have a look at your user talk page first, and disclose whether you have any conflict of interest due to being affiliated to that company, or being directly or indirectly compensated by them. Regarding the reverted edits: Clearly you didn't just add an image of their HQ. Wikipedia is not interested in promotional content based on press releases. Edits should preferably be referenced with independent, reliable sources. For medical-related content there's specific guidelines at WP:MEDRS. (Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four keyboard tildes like this: ~~~~. Or, you can use the [ reply ] button, which automatically signs posts.) – NJD-DE (talk) 19:38, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

I have updated my talk page to disclose that own stock in this company, but that I am not receiving any payment for these edits. The press releases were thoughtfully chosen to reflect the updates of the company, key dates on the development of a COVID 19 vaccine. It does not appear that anyone has edited their page since 2019. I will refrain from posting any press releases and medical content, can I please update the image of their HQ? I am new to this, so my apologies if I was not within the scope of the rules and will be more mindful. Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by BGirST (talk • contribs) 19:54, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

​It can happen that article's are not being updated. However that doesn't lower the verification standards. For that reason I also reverted the updated number of employees. The number of LinkedIn profiles stating that they are employed at a company cannot be used as a reference in Wikipedia articles. Also most content out there, including press releases, is protected by copyright. Copyrighted content is not allowed to be copied into articles. – NJD-DE (talk) 21:10, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Boba Fett

I saw it said there was an error to something to my edit, but isn’t Star Wars.com considered a primary source? ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 20:56, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Kaleeb18, I didn't object the removal of a primary source, although there may be good reasons to use one per WP:PRIMARY. E.g. "an article about a musician may cite discographies and track listings published by the record label".

Have a closer look at your edit again though. I highlighted the spot here for convenience: <ref>{{Cite web|last=Williams|first=Jordan|date=December 27, 2021|title=How Many Episodes Of Book of Boba Fett (And When The Finale Releases)|url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Boba_Fett#/editor/13|url-status=live|access-date=January 11, 2022|website=Screen Rant}}</ref>. – NJD-DE (talk) 22:20, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

ohhhhhh oops... Thank you for fixing my mistake. So do you think I should switch that source for the primary one because its a reference for this sentence in the section release. "that will be released weekly until February 9, 2022." ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 00:33, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

No worries, Kaleeb18. I think it would depend on what the other reference is. Primary sources aren't great usually, but sometimes better than the other sources. And if it's just about the simple fact of how many episodes are going to be released then probably the company releasing them knows best. Although if course if they are known for vaporware then probably using secondary sources would be better.

Honestly I just agf-reverted your edit because I saw that weird URL. Your call here how to proceed :) – NJD-DE (talk) 19:46, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Alright cool, thanks for helping me understand what I did wrong. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 20:40, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Re: Messages on my talk page

I am not sure if I'm doing this correctly- as I'm sure you've noticed, this has been my first time editing on Wikipedia. I have not meant to be disruptive in my editing; rather, I just wanted to correct and improve the pages of my local high schools. The Page County High School page specifically was error-ridden and outdated, and I wanted to fix that. I added some information that I knew because of my time at the school, not knowing that I needed to have hard sources to cite. I entirely take credit for that and admit that I should have done more research on necessary citations before adding my own information. Furthermore, I apologize for later adding sources that were not deemed up to standards. Even without the information that I added of my own accord, I really would like to rephrase some of the preexisting information on the page. I have no doubt that a quick read-through of the page as it stands currently will leave you agreeing that it is poorly written and greatly outdated- for example, referencing events that happened in 2010 as "Future," featuring an incorrect address for the school, etc.

As for Luray High School, I apologize for the photograph that I added and then deleted. I believe I mistakenly marked it as fair use, which you flagged it for. I should have added an explanation before confirming its removal, but I honestly wanted to quickly retrace my steps and remove the photo that I used when I should not have. In this, I recognize my mistake, and I would like to remove the photograph if these messages do not find my account blocked from editing.

(Apologies again, I just noticed that the last message left on my talk page, regarding disruptive editing, was not left by you.)

Thank you. Tediting (talk) 05:34, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Tediting, I understand you were just trying to improve the articles about these high schools, and I agree these two articles aren't in a great shape. Unfortunately outdated information is a common issue and resolving it is sometimes not that easy. The thing really is that we should have references to reliable sources when changing the article. If you are going to rephrase things, it would be nice ofc if you'd add references for the content we already have as well. However just rephrasing, and getting rid of phrases referring to e.g. the future when 2010 is meant is also ok. About the image don't worry it's fine. Image licensing is not an easy topic. Btw just removing the name of the file on the article didn't delete the image from Commons though. I took care of that however by marking it for speedy deletion there.

I hope you still like it on Wikipedia. I know it can be bit overwhelming in the beginning but let me tell you you'll get the hang out of it quickly. In case you have any questions, please let me know or head over to the teahouse where other experienced will happily answer your questions. Happy editing!! – NJD-DE (talk) 11:59, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you!! I appreciate the kind response. I do wish I had sources to add to the article, but the school being in such a small area doesn't provide much citable information. If I come across anything that could be useful, I'll be sure to add it :) Tediting (talk) 01:53, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Reversed Mithril edit

Hi Njd-de,

Thank you for your message. I believe the source I provided is quite reliable, CMC is the world's most used cryptocurrency reference site. Information in my edit comes from MITHRIL's CMC listing page directly.

Let me know what you think,

Martin Dent (talk) 00:14, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Martin Dent, for the edit you made I would expect references that are far better and more reliable than coinmarketcap. It might be a good site to retrieve some financial values, but in my opinion is not good for assessing a subject's notability. I also tried to google Mithrilverse and couldn't find any coverage by independent, reliable sources. Please note that in case you have an external relationship with Mithrilverse or Mithril you may have a conflict of interest that needs to be disclosed. – NJD-DE (talk) 11:48, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, I understand. I'm a developer for another metaverse project, no particular ties with Mithril. Since I know this space well and there's remarkably little information on wiki about metaverse projects, I thought it would be worthwhile to add the more notable ones. Some of these projects have 100M+ or even 1B+ USD valuations, but for most of them it'd be difficult to find a more independent reference than CMC.

I tried adding a smaller project like Mithrilverse first to test the waters, I don't want to spend too much time editing pages that would never pass review. Honestly I'm new here and not clear on every guideline. Perhaps I'll try later when metaverse adoption is more widespread. Martin Dent (talk) 12:20, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

​Wait until there's significant, independent coverage in reliable sources. Just some phrases on CMC is really not enough. – NJD-DE (talk) 22:17, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

User talk:GDQEvent&StatsAdvisor

Hey there Njd-de, ! (Sorry new to actually editing on Wiki)

You sent me a message regarding an edit looks like I'm from a paid or being paid by a company/someone and if you was mistaken to just message. (I think this is how you message on here?!)

I can confirm I am not being paid, or compensated for my edits! :)

GDQEvent&StatsAdvisor (talk) 19:21, 16 January 2022 (UTC) GDQEvent&StatsAdvisor

Apparently username, their userpage and edits were enough to get blocked. For anyone reading this: Users who are compensated for any publicity efforts related to the subject of their Wikipedia contributions are deemed to be paid editors, regardless of whether they were compensated specifically to edit Wikipedia. (Emphasis by me). – NJD-DE (talk) 21:25, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Tremaine page

Hi, thank you for reviewing the Marilyn Tremaine page I just tried to improve. Moving references to a bibliography section makes sense, and I can add a few more there, but the main problem is that the page with her resume on the Rudgers website is dead (and - like you - I cannot find an archive copy.) I could start citing the linkedin profile, but the good news is that I have a PDF of a 2019 resume in my archives but it is a resume sent to me by email and it is not published per-say. Is it possible to save the PDF in Wikimedia common and refer to that? I could not find guidance for this. I just interviewed the person (and no I am not paid for this) so I am confident about her birth year - still it was removed immediately. I also know why she moved back to the US in 1997 but that sentence was removed. I had provided sources for the husband's new prestigious appt in Princeton - which I personally think had a unfortunate effect on her career. I do not include that opinion but including the information about why she moved let people decide for themselves. Thank you for for help. I am not a regular Wikipedia editor so I really appreciate it. --Plaisant (talk) 01:37, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Plaisant, yeah I noticed you tried to improve it, and certainly it got a bit better. Majority of the content still needs references or better references for verification. And LinkedIN definitely isn't what we need here. Also when I did look at their profile, I wasn't able to verify the content. Maybe her profile isn't public. Citing a resume isn't great either. Btw do you have an external relationship to Tremaine? You said you are not being paid by them, but any other connection? Having an external relationship to an article subject and a conflict of interest is ok, but if this applies to you, then you'd need to disclose that and would be strongly encouraged to request edits on article talk page instead of editing the article directly. – NJD-DE (talk) 01:44, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi NJD-DE. Thanks. Tremaine is a pioneer from my field of research so I know her and her work professionally but I don't think that it constitutes a conflict of interest. We never worked together, still I am now motivated to fix wikipedia page of people I know and preserve history. Now that I started, I really want to fix that page and better understand how things works, so I'll look for other internet sources.--Plaisant (talk) 04:32, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

​Ahh that makes sense. Non-internet sources are fine ok btw. Just they should've been published in a reliable source. E.g. books or newspaper for which no online copy exist are totally fine. If you happen to have any questions, let me know. – NJD-DE (talk) 10:56, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

If you allow me to hint you at something: the references should go after the punctuation (WP:REFPUNC). So we want to use Correct sentence,<ref>Source 1</ref> and it continues.<ref>Source 2</ref> (displayed as Correctly formatted sentence, and it continues.) instead of Wrongly formatted sentence<ref>Source 1</ref>, and it continues<ref>Source 2</ref>. (displayed as Wrongly formatted sentence, and it continues.)

The reference list will look the same:

Reversing edits to Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos

Hello Njd-de. I'm not understanding the reason my edit of Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos's wikipedia page was reversed. I just added two sources to a uncited statement, those two sources were already being used in the 2022 Portuguese legislative election page. Could you elaborate the reason for the reverse? SadAttorney613 (talk) 18:50, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi SadAttorney613, a minute ago I left a message at your talk page. Unfortunately, there is a bug in Wikipedia's software and apparently when copying citations things may go wrong (see Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Templatestyles_edits for more details). In this case the infobox got duplicated. I have fixed it on that article before leaving you a message on your talk page. – NJD-DE (talk) 18:53, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Oh okay. Thanks for fixing my edit then. SadAttorney613 (talk) 19:03, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Ankur Ghatge

Hello, Njd-de,

When you tag pages for deletion, whether CSD, PROD or AFD/RFD/TFD/etc., you need to post a notification on the talk page of the page creator. I see that you are using Twinkle, which is great, so please check your Twinkle Preferences so that a) "Notify page creator" box is checked and b) every criteria of speedy deletion is selected as well. There are checkboxes for each criteria and they should all be selected as it doesn't really matter why a page has been tagged for speedy deletion, the page creator should still be informed of the deletion and the reason why so they don't keep repeating the same mistakes. Thank you for all of your contributions to the project! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:33, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liz, you are right about that, and usually I do notify the page creator. There have been few exceptions to this (mainly when it's spam or from socks). Just checked my CSD log as well, and honestly not sure though what happened reg. this Ankur Ghatge/Wikipedia:Ankur Ghatge/Draft:Ankur Ghatge mess. Will pay closer attention to notify page creators in the future. I appreciate you hinting me at this & thanks for your good work as admin here :) – NJD-DE (talk) 21:49, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	For creating reports at WP:AIV that understandably describe the problem, providing links for getting a quick overview of the situation. And for going above and beyond to prevent Wikipedia from being used for fraudulent purposes. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:54, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks ToBeFree! I just went through some of my first edits back in 2019 and 2020, and gosh was I wet behind the ears back then. (Actually never knew until googling now that this idiom similar to the German "grün hinter den Ohren sein" exists.) Took me a while until I figured out user warnings and that WP:AIV exists. Ohh and that moment I learned about Twinkle. Can't imagine anymore using Wikipedia w/o the gadgets, tools and user scripts.

Thanks for being a great admin and your swift reactions ! It's great to work together with you. – NJD-DE (talk) 14:50, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, that German translation is a real used idiom, not just something from a dictionary. And I'm impressed as well about how quick things change and how quick people evolve in Internet communities. A year feels like a decade, ten years like a lifetime.

St. Charles Municipal Building

Hello !

I'm sorry I reverted your reversion of the BioShock info on the STC Municipal Building page. The last edit war attracted the attention of user Doncram who helped reach a compromise. Not sure if you have read all the background info with this one. I am not a professional editor or anything, but I have been doing research and writing for the St. Charles History Museum. I read the info regarding Verifiability (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Responsibility_for_providing_citations) and it states that a citation needed tag can be added until a reliable source can be found. I added the tag to this section until we can get an article published with the info. However, the Daily Herald, you can understand did not want to give column space to this trivia until a larger article about the Municipal Building would be written, most likely coinciding with the next major anniversary celebration. VerVynck (talk) 00:25, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello VerVynck, thanks for reaching out to me. WP:BURDEN does mention In some cases, editors may object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references. Consider adding a citation needed tag as an interim step. Clearly the temporary better source needed or citation needed tag wouldn't mean more than two years though. Once something is published in reliable sources, the content can always be added again of course. Until then there's really no need or rush to include that section. – NJD-DE (talk) 00:36, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

If a timeframe is not stated, that would be your interpretation then ? No one deleted this info because of how long it has been on here, but rather because I drew attention to it because I wanted to add an image. Despite the traffic for the past two years, other editors who worked on the page did not take issue with it. My reasoning for wanting to include this info on the Wikipedia page is because this unfortunately is the most commonly used source anyone, be it a student or employee of the city, uses to reference the Municipal Building. Having the BioShock info here with the tag on it increases the likelihood that someone would publish what would qualify as a reliable source. Deleting it, relegates it back to obscurity. The game came out in 2007, it took me more than ten years to figure it out. As silly as it may be, this is an interesting fact about the building, and including the info on the page does no harm. We would probably have to wait until the 85th anniversary to get a newspaper article. Having the information removed from this page between now and then makes it likely to be forgotten besides in our museum records and to the BioShock superfans. Hopefully you understand my plea better than the other editor who objected to this, but I don't know what more I can do to present this. VerVynck (talk) 00:47, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
