Changes to Synaptics Wikipedia Page

Hello.

Niyati here - I made updates to the Synaptics Wiki page and saw they were rejected for violation of the external links policy. I took a read of the External Links page and am having trouble understanding exactly what the violation is. Can you let me know please? I'd like to address to update the content on the page. It is quite outdated and not very comprehensive.

Thank you! Niyati

Niyatidesai (talk) 22:18, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

I had several concerns about your edit to that article, mainly that you removed significant amounts of information without explaining why; you introduced unreferenced information, especially regarding the leadership section, most names being non-notable (i.e. don't have Wikipedia articles); and several links being introduced at the end without proper formatting, not to mention their relevance is questionable.

Speedy tagging

This speedy deletion tagging was too speedy. I've messaged you about this in the past, but apparently to no avail. Please remember not to bite the newbies. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:02, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

@WikiDan61: Do you believe Kirstin Mitchell passes GNG? Only source I could find is that she made an album cover. I do some research before tagging, you know. If the person's non-notable now what's the point of waiting 15 mins? I always strive not to bite newbies. Best, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 18:32, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

How much research could you have done if you tagged the article less than one minute after it was created? Do I believe her to be notable? Probably not. But it's possible that the author could have surprised you and me with sources that you are not aware of to demonstrate notability. But it's also possible that the author will not now bother, having been bitten. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 23:10, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Please respond: Synaptics Wikipedia Page

Hello,

I saw you reverted my changes to the Synaptics page for violating the external links policy. I took a read through the policy and couldn't pin-point exactly what I should be changing.

Keith

Including any mention of Keith Windschuttle in any account of an Indigenous Massacre is extremely biased. He is known as a denier of factual evidence, and is not a respected historian.

AS an Australian Historian it is reprehensible that he be cited as a source

Keith Windschuttle

I removed irrelevant information from the Cape Grim article that was clearly added by someone who does not wish to acknowledge the genocide committed on the Indigenous People of Australia. Keith Windschuttle is a denier, and perpetuating his lies is doing a disservice to your encyclopaedia. I am not vandalising, I am correcting misleading and incorrect information included in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.217.24.37 (talk) 13:28, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Stating it "is likely that if you believe Keith Windschuttle's account, you are sticking your head in the sand and happy to ignore factual history for the purpose of White Supremacy" is vandalism. Please desist or face a block. FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 13:38, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Masaru Emoto's MD from degree mill

Why did you revert the my edit on the Masaru Emoto page regarding that the "Open International University For Alternative Medicines" is a degree mill? Thanks, Ed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.145.121.248 (talk) 17:28, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Your source wasn't reliable. Best, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 18:04, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you further, but here we get into the problem of Russell's teapot. Please have a look at the sources "proving" that Masaru Emoto is in fact a MD and this "university" is an university. Are they reliable? If I make the statement that Mr. Emoto is a teapot orbiting the sun, please find a reliable source proving he isn't. Kind regards, Ed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.139.247.27 (talk) 11:54, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

There might be other issues with the rest of the references used in the article. That doesn't mean that we should allow the inclusion of more dubious information that is not properly attributed. See WP:IRS and amend the passage appropriately, or don't. Best, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 12:47, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

About your way to handle reverts, warnings and protection requests

FoCuS, it's your own behaviour that is wrong and unconstructive. I have justified my edits and they certainly do not constitute vandalism. On the other hand, your reverts without any explanations (they only came when I started arguing) are questionable. As such, I have added a warning to your own user page, hoping it will draw the attention of some "authorities" to explain you again what's wrong with what you did and how you did dit. Cheers, 82.239.43.182 (talk) 16:34, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

I have provided feedback for you on 3 different venues. Please do not pull my leg and learn to listen to advice given to you on Wikipedia. There's no use in going against people who are trying to make you see how things are done over here. You very well know that your behaviour wasn't constructive, in fact you even resorted to sneering at 2 editors who were trying to help you. Leaving ironic and disrespectful edit summaries does not constitute proper discussion. I am glad to see you've learnt your lesson and are now willing to familiarise yourself with the encyclopaedia's policies and guidelines. Cheers, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 16:56, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

The feedback came a wee bit late after some insistance, you still won't admit your own wrongs ... it seems that some lesson wasn't learnt somewhere (but don't worry: in my experience it can take some significant time for that kind of lesson to get through). Still, I would appreciate apologies and the removal of the warning. Sans rancune. Cheers, 82.239.43.182 (talk) 17:14, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

The onus is on you to read up on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I'm not your boss. It's likely Wikipedia's just not for you. FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 17:31, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

This is not a question of policies and guidelines, but rather of psychology and education. Fortunately for you (and me) I'm not your boss either. You're clearly way better than me at enforcing [Rule #1]. Cheers, 78.225.149.66 (talk) 17:55, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

I don't know what the hell you're on about. The rules are pretty simple: lists on Wikipedia are about articles that exist. You didn't follow it, hence the reversals by several editors. Stop your whinging and either move on or leave. FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 18:00, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

My point is (again...): when you do such a reversal, please mention the reason in the summary. Without a reason stated the author of the change will have a hard time guessing the exact reason of the revert. Isn't that clear? Wasn't that clear? And, more importantly, will you do that from now on, that is, edit the summary and add a comment such as "revert: link to a non-existant page Wikipedia:Red_link"? By the way, did you read and understand the red link policy in question that does absolutely not give you a valid reason to remove my edits (in other words: you acted against what is actually written in the policy)? Cheers, 82.239.43.182 (talk) 19:10, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

~~Focus, as I currently can't edit Enterprise output management because of the protection you requested, could you please the merger template on its talk page to the appropriate place? Thanks,~~ Already done. VonBlinkendenzwoelf (talk) 20:21, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Yarra foundation

Hi there,

You just recently deleted the page that I created for a charity. I don't understand the main reason about your decision though you mentioned inappropriate citation. In fact, I cited the resources that are available about this charity which is their website, facebook page and their ABN number. The other thing that I wanted to make inquiry about is the information that I have provided about it. I have gradually edited the page and added more information to it but the draft is now empty and I don't have access to the information at all.

I Just request you to explain what sort of reference is acceptable with you and provide me the information that I have collected before.

regards, Sashakiba — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sashakiba (talk • contribs) 03:26, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello there! A few clarifications: I did not delete the article, I nominated it for deletion, after which an administrator fulfilled the task after agreeing with my rationale. It is not I that have to find your sources acceptable, but rather the encyclopaedia and its community, its guidelines and policies. Now, your particular subject does not meet our general notability guideline, nor does it meet our guideline for the notability of organisations. There is no independent nor reliable coverage about the charity. Until those conditions are met I'm afraid Wikipedia is not an appropriate venue for the subject; yes the foundation exists, but it is not notable per Wikipedia's standards. Thank you for your contributions and I hope you consider editing elsewhere on the encyclopaedia. Best, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 16:09, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

You are introducing material which is extremely promotional in nature, not to mention copied from their website, something which is strictly forbidden on Wikipedia, per WP:COPY.
