Help with Robert Ebo Hinson Page Edits

Hello Siliconred, I just realized you read my recent entry for Robert Ebo Hinson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Robert_Ebo_Hinson).

Can you help me re-edit it to suit an entry for Wikipedia since I have all the reference links in there? I have over 28 reference points. Please feel free to delete sections you think should not be included and make it Wikipedia-worthy.

Thank You — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buernatey (talk • contribs) 13:47, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Buernatey -- the issue isn't with the reference points (I have not given the citations a thorough review quite yet). You can use my comment on as part of my reason for decline to help out as you revise the article:

This article is full of lists. Specifically, I'm pointing to WP:NOTDIRECTORY with this decline. This draft should be revised and content cut significantly -- one of the several example of prose issues here is the sentence "He is the author/editor of at least 25 books including..." This sentence should be revised to just: "He is the author/editor of at least 25 books. (or similar). Edits like this should be applied across the article before resubmission.

Feel free to ping me once you feel this has been addressed & I'm happy to review again! SiliconRed (talk) 14:36, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pak Page Edits

Nathan, none of the edits on the Pak page is contested information that you deleted systematically. I don't understanding - everything is justified. I am fully aware of several well funded campaigns to delete mentions of Pak (and I know who is behind some of them). I do hope this is done with good conscious as there is a bit of disinformation out there.

Hi there! None of the information you’ve added is cited. If you’d like to add it to the article, please provide WP:RS. I have no idea what “campaigns” you’re talking about, Wikipedia prohibits canvassing, unless you’re referring to AfD discussions about the page. AfD nominations happen all the time. Please stop undoing my edits unless you plan to constructively add to the page content that is independently verified. Thanks! SiliconRed (talk) 15:45, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lost Poets Deletions on Pak Page

I don't quite understand why do you always delete Lost Poets from Pak's webpage? There are legitimate sources on this sale, and it was even cited by Andreesen Horowitz in their investment into Manifold. Shortshoward (talk) 01:49, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again! In the future, I’d prefer if you raise questions on the article talk page, rather than my personal page — I do not WP:OWN the article. The first citation is not from a WP:RELIABLE source, and the second is not WP:INDEPENDENT. For now, it seems okay to keep information about the project, but the $70 million figure has been impossible to verify in my research, and it would be against the guidelines of WP:BIO to keep such a massive claim in the article without sufficient sourcing. Apologies if this wasn’t clear, I work to articulate reasons for changes very explicitly in my edit summaries. SiliconRed (talk) 06:47, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are plenty of sources verifying Lost Poets sales, please explain to me why the citation is not relevant? You do realize there has been a systematic campaign paid by several NFT collectors (who many are aware of) to try and reduce media coverage of Pak on their Lost Poets and Merge drop. Shortshoward (talk) 07:50, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If there are other citations out there, please share them. I've already explained issues with the existing citations, and I'm still not sure what campaign you're talking about. Anyway, regardless of why citations don't exist, you can't add information to any article because you believe it to be true without proper citations to back it up. This is a core principle of Wikipedia. SiliconRed (talk) 07:58, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Happily, do you also want me to point on the blockchain how Pak raised $70 million? Also explain to me why cryptotimes is not an information source? The campaign was done to pay certain people to specifically delete Pak on Wikipedia and pay certain news sources to not publish or bring attention to Pak drops, which more or less have been a waste of money trying to censor events that occur on the blockchain. Shortshoward (talk) 07:22, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is a general lack of reliable coverage of the sale. Notice how the "Merge" sale has plenty of independent citations, and the "Clock" sale is covered in multiple known WP:RS. There is only one article which mentions this "Poets" sale; "Cryptotimes" is not sufficient to WP:VERIFY the claim. The "chain" is not WP:INDEPENDENT -- it's impossible to verify the legitimacy of the sale by looking only there. Paid editors on Wikipedia are required to disclose, and I have not seen suspicious editing patterns on Pak (creator). I am doubtful there is a campaign to silence this person, but if you have WP:RS to support this, it would be noteworthy content to include in the article. SiliconRed (he/him) (talk) 08:41, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I am not going to continue this conversation here. If you have content issues with the article please raise them on the article talk page. SiliconRed (he/him) (talk) 09:53, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are examples of paid Wikipedia editors and their backers (known) who have paid to delete portions of Pak's creator Wikipedia page and limit media coverage. Shortshoward (talk) 03:52, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

COIN

Greetings, even though you started this on Barkeep49's talkpage, didn't feel like cluttering that page up. Just wanted to let you know that since that editor looks like they are going to adhere to COI guidelines and not directly edit, I'm going to hold off on the report. Onel5969 TT me 17:05, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Makes total sense, agreed. I’ll be keeping an eye on the page, if any issues come up I will likely ping you. Cheers, SiliconRed (he/him) (talk) 23:11, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Doug Weller talk 17:33, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the notice Doug Weller -- just out of curiosity, do you find my contributions have been productive on the article? I don't mean to step on toes, and I'm looking to make sure the piece is strong. Open to any commentary. Cheers, SiliconRed (he/him • talk) 17:36, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I haven’t really scrutinised them and don’t want to get involved in content, bit I’ve seen no problems. It’s just routine and I need to be sure I give them to good editors as well as those I worry about. I made myself aware of them. I didn’t give you one for gender. Doug Weller talk 18:25, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Copy that, thank you! Appreciate the feedback. SiliconRed (he/him • talk) 18:27, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merger for Lott (disambiguation)

This version seems to be the correct one. It looks like you saw the mistake, fixed it, then accidentally clicked undo: the current version proposes to merge the DAB page with itself. Cheers, BlackcurrantTea (talk) 16:51, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thank you! I'm not super familiar with the merge process so.... mistakes were made 😊 SiliconRed (he/him • talk) 17:06, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Snow removal in Montreal

On 11 May 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Snow removal in Montreal, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that more than 30,000 cars were being towed annually by the 1970s to accommodate snow removal efforts in Montreal? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Snow removal in Montreal. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Snow removal in Montreal), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
