Promo Edits
Hi Exemplo347, may I know why you deleted the things I edited on HappyFresh? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anisahdpt (talk • contribs) 10:38, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Anisahdpt: Of course. The article in question contained a large amount of promotional content, in PR-style language. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and articles should be written in a style that does not serve to promote companies. Please read WP:COI for more information.

Help with sockpuppet edits
Hi, a suspected sockpuppet IP user is going around removing sourced content. Examples: Nam Joo-hyuk, Ryu Jun-yeol. I do not want to engage in a edit war, so please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2404:E800:E610:1D5:E817:CD4A:A8F8:65E (talk) 13:34, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
Your deletions of my images
I'm disappointed that you acted before I'd had a chance to respond. I DO own all of those images. I personally know the person in those pictures, I took the pictures of him, and I created the memes for the ones that have been memed. The fact that a couple of the images were turned into memes doesn't change at all the fact that they were all relevant to the pages on which I posted them and, with the captions I added, enhanced the pages on which they were posted. The one illustrated cyber humiliation, which is an important facet of erotic humiliation that was not amply addressed on that page. The second illustrated the lifestyle of a "sissy maid" on a feminization page that talks about sissy maids but didn't connect the dress-up aspect of the lifestyle to public outings, which are an important part of it, until I added my photo. And the third was an actual example of a picture that can be found on the People Of Walmart website and is illustrative of the pictures visitors to that site will find. I don't want to get into a spat because I'm new to all of this Wikipedia editing stuff, but I'm going to trust now that you know I do in fact own the copyrights to these and many other pictures of this guy that you won't interfere with my adding them to pages so long as they are actually relevant to the topic of the pages. Is that a fair assumption?
Dom Vadar (talk) 01:27, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Examplo347 is not an administrator. Probably those images were deleted because they're non-free or copied/pasted from an website. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 01:59, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- Those images were deleted from Wikimedia Commons (not by me) because they were uploaded without the correct copyright information that proved you own them - they can't just take your word for it. Head on over to Wikimedia Commons and ask the administrator who deleted them how you should proceed. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 06:05, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
Babangida Kabiru Ruma
Prince011 (talk) 06:35, 31 January 2017 (UTC)I am here by to discuss about my page Babangida Kabiru Ruma which was tagged by deletion, i have made several edition on the page kindly take a look or perhaps give me a tips on which article should be on wikipedia. thanks you Prince011 (talk) 06:35, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
- The correct venue to discuss the proposed deletion of your article is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Babangida Kabiru Ruma. Frankly, there are no improvements that can be made - the subject of your article (who I believe to be YOU) does not meet the General Notability Guidelines. Can I also point out that if you delete anything from that discussion page, you may lose your editing privileges. Exemplo347 (talk) 09:10, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation
I was not trying to be malicious in anyway. Originally my user name was PaeDae Entertainment but then i changed it to Brenon of PaeDae Entertainment because it violated the terms of a username. Then i changed it to Ty Bricksdale because apparently it still violated. That's why i have multiple accounts. I was in no way trying to violate any rules. I didn't know how to change the user name so i just made a new account. I'm sorry for any inconvenience i caused. If you can make the edits i made visible it will be greatly appreciated. Have a great day! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ty Bricksdale (talk • contribs) 02:26, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Ty Bricksdale: Greetings. Any comments regarding the Sockpuppet investigation I initiated should be posted under the Comments by other users section of this page. As for the article, it has been deleted following an Article for Deletion discussion and, if recreated, it may be subject to speedy deletion under This Criteria. As you can see at the top of the discussion page, the administrator who deleted your article is @Samwalton9: - this is who you should contact with any further queries.

talk:Articles for deletion/Twice as Nice
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I don't understand why you are trying to delete this article. You've stated they don't meet notability standards but they are GRAMMY NOMINATED in 3 categories and have produced multiple top-10 singles across the United States, Australia, the UK, New Zealand, Italy and more. This is not gaining notability through "working with a famous person", this is publishing with recognised musical artists and in many cases Grammy award winning artists. By your logic EVERY SINGLE MUSIC PRODUCER with an article on wiki would need to have their page deleted. What is your issue with this page? (Haydon.h. (talk) 00:15, 5 February 2017 (UTC))
- Greetings. The proper venue for this discussion is here. If you plan on posting on the talk page of everyone who comments during the deletion discussion you're going to find yourself warned for disruptive editing. My Talk page is not the place for you to discuss this. Exemplo347 (talk) 00:18, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
OK, my apologies, i did not mean to misuse the talk page. Can you help me with the article though? What types of sources do i need to insert to prevent it from being deleted? (Haydon.h. (talk) 00:24, 5 February 2017 (UTC))
- My only comment on this issue (other than at the page I've directed you to) will be to say that any sources should be about Twice as Nice - not about people they work with. There isn't a single source in that article that is about the company "Twice as Nice" - some of them don't even mention the company. That's my final word on it here - as I've said, this isn't the appropriate venue for this discussion. Exemplo347 (talk) 00:28, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Just FYI
I see that you've been involved in cleaning up after RaySingh, so I just wanted to let you know I've just added his name to this SPI for a long-time sockpuppeteer. I've suspected it was the same person, and the hijacking of Muslim Educational Trust was yet another similarity to how previous socks have behaved. Anyway, we'll see what the SPI finds out. Cheers, --bonadea contributions talk 16:54, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Bonadea: Damn, my stealthy clean-ups keep getting me noticed! I was about to report him to AN/I for the repeated attempts to hijack pages, but the SPI makes more sense. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 17:00, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
- Well, they are good stealthy clean-ups. Though, I guess, if a stealthy clean-up gets you noticed, is it in fact stealthy? If a tree falls in the forest and nobody writes an article about it, does it exist? So many questions! :-) --bonadea contributions talk 17:37, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Exemplo347 reported by User:Dharmadhyaksha (Result: ). Thank you. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:00, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Automatic removal of updates to the Mutual Fund page
You rolled back my changes to the Mutual Fund page because it appeared to be promotional. I guess it was linking to two specific companies that offer classifications of mutual funds. The classifications are ubiquitous, but also proprietary, so I felt it necessary to link to the companies wiki pages. There is nothing promotional about this and I believe the changes should be replaced. Note I also made some changes to address the fact that the article was too US-centric. Rozwat (talk) 02:14, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Rozwat: Greetings. You'll note that there are no other company pages linked within that section of the article, so your addition of two companies to that section does indeed seem like a promotional edit. If there was any need for individual company names, they would already have been added. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 02:24, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Exemplo347: Thank you for the clarification. But I disagree with your reasoning. Mainly, this reason is tautalogical: "If there was any need for individual company names, they would already have been added." There is a need for the individual company names, and nobody has added them before. The classifications being used are proprietary to those two firms, so it seems impossible to discuss the classification without linking to the only sources of the classification. But the classifications do need to be discussed, because they are used very widely. Can you link to broader guidelines on this point? I am a new contributor and I had planned a project of updating related information on mutual funds and ETFs, both of which I have expertise in. Rozwat (talk) 17:04, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
New to Wikipedia Editing
ARodak (talk) 18:36, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Hey @Exemplo347. Thank you for reaching out with the message about the new edits to the Cabela's wiki page. I am new to wikipedia editing so please bare with me on this, but how would one go about adding valuable information to a page without it breaking conflict of interest. Was just hoping to put up some information about their locations. Let me know! Thanks.
- First of all, can you confirm that you have read WP:COI? What's your conflict of interest? (Please don't say "none" if you actually want to be taken seriously) Exemplo347 (talk) 18:37, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
ARodak (talk) 19:15, 9 February 2017 (UTC)I have read the conflict of interest. thank you for bringing that to my attention. I am an employee, however I am not looking to advertise. Just want to put current and valuable information on the page. Much of it is outdated. Sorry if putting that graph back up was a mistake, I've just seen it used on other pages and figured it was acceptable after removing the address/phone number like you had mentioned. Like I mentioned, I am still new to this. What would be your suggestions moving forward? Thanks again for working with me on this one.
- As the Conflict of Interest policy states, you should not be editing the article at all. Instead, you should be suggesting edits on the talk page of the article declaring your conflict of interest clearly. Simply follow the procedure in the Conflict of Interest policy. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 19:19, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
ARodak (talk) 19:24, 9 February 2017 (UTC)That works for me. If I go in and suggest some edits, can I reach back out to you through here to verify them for approval?
- If you follow the procedure in the Conflict of Interest policy, any experienced editor will respond to your request and perform the edits that they feel are appropriate. I must point out that the list of locations that you've tried to add to the article is against Wikipedia's guidelines at WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Exemplo347 (talk) 19:28, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

In this case, as you can see if you access the deleted article, the Admin in question is Fabrictramp - they will be able to answer your query. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 13:56, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
Closure
I appreciate your closure, but to be clear, I was actually referring to the entire thread, now rendered moot by the RfC, of which only two sub-sections are currently closed. It's really a minor point, but since convention allows for closed threads to sit idle on ANI for at least a day to allow for global participation, its a fairly consequential housekeeping matter for lengthy threads.

can u help me?
can u add Aryanic to article with this source : http://cura.free.fr/xv/14boutet.html - One of its two stars, much like our own Sun, is on the white spectrum while the other is of a yellow-red tinge. Did not Enmerkar, the Sumerian king of Uruk have gifts of silver and gold to offer the Aryan overlord of Chariots? It is therefore possible that these two stars were not as close then as they are now. If one looks closer at the Sumerian legends, one finds many overlapping details with those of the Aryanic peoples. The wild-man of the Gilgamesh cycle for example, bears much resemblance with those found in Scandinavian, Celtic and Vedic myths. This takes us to the imagery found in astrology as well as in I.E. mythology. [16] The Rig Veda, selected, translated and annotated by Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty, 1.160 Vs 1-5, p. 203. « Text

- No, as I've said, you should suggest your changes on the Talk page of the article. An experienced editor will then assess your change & make the edit they feel is appropriate. Exemplo347 (talk) 14:32, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
COI Template
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Please do not add COI templates to articles, as you did at The Russian Bride, when no COI has been declared. If the text is neutral, it doesn't belong there at all. If it isn't, edit the text. Lyrda (talk) 15:50, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Maestromanos
I deleted it as A7 rather than hoax, as I didn't consider it 'blatant' (i.e. stand up and spit in your face obvious). However, you might find my post on User talk:BrianKleinman interesting... Peridon (talk) 13:12, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Peridon: That's fine, I agree it wasn't totally blatant. It sounds like we both did the same kinds of checks! Exemplo347 (talk) 13:55, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
- I also had doubts about concealing electrical equipment under the planks at the bottom of a trench. They were to keep the men's feet out of the worst of the mud, and underneath would be water and mud. Not good for the electrics... I did nearly go for blatant over the transmission loops - looping could only have been done manually then - repetition, not actual 'loop'ing. Electric gramophone recording only came in around 1925 (I've got records from before and after, and the difference is incredible), and actual wire and tape for real looping much later still. Recording equipment wouldn't have survived in trench conditions, anyway. There is a chance that this is real and was some oddbod trying things out. No evidence, no article, though. Well spotted, anyway. A lot of patrollers would take it face value. Peridon (talk) 16:13, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Editor of the Week
Editor of the Week | ||
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week for your work with new editors. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project) |
User:Buster7 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
- Getting new editors to understand the environment of Wikipedia is not any easy task especially when you have just requested a speedy deletion on their "Masterpiece". New editors come with the best of intentions but sometimes get disappointed and frustrated. Exemplo347 often deals with explaining our notability guidelines to new editors. Explaining why an article is up for deletion requires skill and tact and a concern for retaining the novice editor. As a member of WikiProject Military history, WikiProject India and WikiProject Pakistan he often runs into situations that require help in understanding language and cultural differences. Siege of Arrah and Bengal Native Infantry are just two articles that display his careful mainspace editing.
You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:

Reviewing new pages
Please be careful while choosing criteria for speedy deletion. Vergenoegd Primary School did not fall under G10 and therefore, the tag was removed. sami talk 12:30, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- If a page that calls a School "a laughing stock" without any sources isn't an attack page, I'd like to know exactly what it is. Exemplo347 (talk) 12:31, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- Well, it read as The school became a laughing stalk and it did not called school a 'laughing stock'. It is not an attack. Instead of tagging the whole page as an attack, you could've removed unsourced claims as I did here. And it is quite obvious that not all new users have better writing skills. sami talk 12:39, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- Removing the unsourced claim myself still leaves the unsourced claims visible in the edit history of the article - as the claim also included the name of a teacher, it's a violation of the BLP policy to allow it to remain. Exemplo347 (talk) 12:41, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- For this, there is WP:REVDEL. sami talk 12:48, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

- Technically, it is not 'impossible'. sami talk 13:04, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- I never said it was. Anyway, the fact is that the BLP-violating content is still visible in the edit history of this article. Never mind, the article has been tagged for Speedy Deletion under WP:G4 and WP:G5 so the issue is moot. Exemplo347 (talk) 13:07, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Trichotillomania and MCT
Dear Exemplo347,
thank you for your tips on my talk page. I am also grateful that you offered to "ask me or another editor to proofread it." I would be happy for comments on the article on the Metacognitive training, particularly which areas you might find biased. Regarding Trichotillomania: I do not understand, however, why my changes have been deleted. Decoupling was examined in two RCTs which were published in two good journals following peer-review, so I think the information is worth sharing. Decoupling is available at no cost so there are no commercial interests involved.

Disambiguation link notification for March 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (song), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Medley. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Conflict of Interest
Hi! I noticed on my talk page that I have been sent a message from you explaining that I had a conflict of interest on one of the articles I edited. I want to know what that article was, so I could demonstrate better wiki edits in the future. I would also like to know, because I don't think I have a conflict of interest with articles I have edited recently. The only substantial edits I have done is on the article Yandere Dev. I do not have any contact, nor have any business relationship with his company. I am only a fan of his work. Is this conflict of interest? Let me know, because I am a new user on wikipedia and do not know all of the rules. Thanks!
Jamesjpk (talk) 01:00, 11 March 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesjpk (talk • contribs) 00:57, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
- Greetings. The fact that you have focused your editing on articles related to that topic is the reason the Conflict of Interest template was placed on your Talk page. It's quite unusual for a new editor to focus their edits onto articles related to one company, but as the template says "you may have a conflict of interest", not "you definitely have a conflict of interest", you should take it at face value - it's an explanation of a particular policy. If you focus your edits onto other topics then nobody else will raise a similar concern. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 01:03, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Need some help understanding why edits reversed
Hi Exemplo247,
This is in response to: User_talk:OldWaysTea#March_2017
I understand why you requested I change my username. I was OldWaysTea (which I personally sell tea under). I am now TeaFriend. I have no interest in promoting my business on Wikipedia. I just want to make sure all information is factual and correct.
What I don't understand is why my edits to Guobiao Standards and Wuyi Tea were reversed. You said something about external links, but I only added links to existing wiki articles that seemed relevant to the pages.
Could you help me understand what I need to do to help contribute? I have spent a lot of time in Wuyishan, China and believe I can do a good job finding references and information to better fill out these articles.
TeaFriend (talk) 00:05, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- Try editing something that doesn't involve tea, and don't add anything tea-related to it. Those are the best tips I can give you. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 00:07, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
Question about the changes
Now that you have have deleted what ever you see is wrong with the article, is there anything else I can do to get the warning type sign at the top, removed? Thanks! Al — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allotnap (talk • contribs) 01:48, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry, but the improvement templates can't be removed until every single problem they address has been sorted out. That includes a WP:COI concern - have you read WP:COI? You really need to. You can't claim to have no connection, because that article is the only thing you've been editing and new editors without connections never act like that. Openness & honesty are your friend here. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 01:50, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
Is being a big fan a connection? Is the source material sub par? I just wanted to get it right. there are a lot of uninformed articles out there. Yes I have read the WP:COI. Thank you for pointing it out. Is there anything else about the article that needs help? Please advise. Allotnap (talk) 02:05, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- Each of the individual improvement notices has a link to a helpful page that addresses the individual concern. If, after reading through all the pages, you have any further questions then the best place to ask is Wikipedia:Teahouse - hit the "Ask a Question" button and someone will help you as soon as they can. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 02:08, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
New to this and will get better. Thank you for all your help! Allotnap (talk) 02:12, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- That's no problem. It may seem like myself and other editors are being unhelpful in removing your edits from your article, but in fact the edits that have been made are preventing the Speedy Deletion of your article (under this criteria) which can happen without warning if articles are too promotional in nature. Good luck with your future editing! Exemplo347 (talk) 02:15, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
Not sure why you have scheduled Jozeff for deletion, there are plenty of notable links on there.

- The problem is that no sources can be found that satisfy Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline - I pointed this out to you with the Improvement notices I placed on the article, which you deleted without fixing the issue. Read through WP:RS - improve the article if you can, but do not delete the Article for Deletion notice again. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 12:13, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

- @Jake505k: I'm afraid that's not how Wikipedia works. When you first published the article, you legally released control of the text. Even if I wanted the article to be deleted, it would be extremely unlikely to happen - the article meets Wikipedia's guidelines for inclusion so there's no legitimate reason for its deletion.

COI
Hi Exemplo347,
No COI to declare. Being a resident of Mt Roskill, Auckland. I am just really inspired by the young Shail Kaushal, born overseas but grew up in Mt Roskill and is now on the Auckland's local government representing my area. He has doorknocked my place number of times. Also the first Indian-born to be ever elected by the people in Auckland, New Zealand, and one of the youngest. My next contributions would be on page Puketapapa Local Board, and local MP Michael Wood.
Thanks,

Deleting the page titled MonsterIndia.com
Hi-I wanted to check why the page was deleted when I've cited several independent sources verifying all the information that I have listed about Monsterindia.com. There are other job sites like Naukri.com with wiki pages written in a similar fashion on wikipedia - could you let me know why they aren't considered promotional content? Please see links below - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naukri.com Thanks Sonal nerurkar (talk) 21:59, 19 March 2017 (UTC)sonal nerurkar
- As you can see here, your article was deleted because it was unambiguously promotional in nature. In the future, I recommend using the Article Creation wizard - you can create your draft and then submit it for review, and experienced editors will give you tips. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 22:02, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi-how can I access the page to upload it in Article Creation wizard? Will I have to recreate it? It would help if you can make it available for me. Thanks Sonal nerurkar (talk) 22:09, 19 March 2017 (UTC)sonal
- If you ask the Administrator who deleted your page (@Athaenara:), they may be willing to recreate the article in your Sandbox. It's their decision though, so I can't promise that they will do it. Exemplo347 (talk) 22:12, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
About Alex Daoud
Hi, Exemplo! I'm responding to your request for page protection of this article. I did not impose protection because I temporarily blocked the current problem editor, and the previous one is indefinitely blocked. But it is clear that the article is being attacked by sockpuppets and there are likely to be more. I have filed a sockpuppet investigation request at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Alexisdaoud. If you have an ongoing interest in that article, you might want to take note of it. Because if they do identify a sockmaster, then when new users show up at that article doing the same thing, you can report them to WP:SPI (or for that matter to me) and get them dealt with quickly. --MelanieN (talk) 22:37, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
- @MelanieN: Thanks for that! I added the article to my watchlist last month because of the long term, slow motion vandalism, so I'll continue to pop over to it whenever it's vandalised (as it surely will be!) by yet another sockpuppet. I'll keep my eye on the SPI too. Thanks again for your help! Exemplo347 (talk) 22:42, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
- The two most recent ones were determined to be socks. They didn't evaluate the earlier IPs but they were obviously socks too. The sockmaster is Alexisdaoud, for future reference. BTW I just spent a couple of hours cleaning up and referencing that article. Might as well have a well-developed Wikipedia article for them to try to mess up. 0;-D --MelanieN (talk) 00:23, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- The silly thing is, I only found out about the deleted content (it was deleted months and months ago) when I noticed them messing about with the article. If they'd left it alone, that deleted section would have probably never been restored! Exemplo347 (talk) 00:28, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

EDITS FROM THE PENTECOSTAL MISSION ARTICLE
Sir, This is with regard to the following MESSAGE " Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at The Pentecostal Mission, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Exemplo347" received from your side.
It has come to my notice that there is a section in the The Pentecostal Mission Article called Criticisms and controversies.It contains unsubstantiated information and allegations without any basis. So when I remove this, you reinstate it back. I have already given my explanation that it is just allegations with no proof.
I want to know who posted this information in the first place and what proof was given of these Criticisms and controversies. Please produce your information to substantiate these Criticisms and controversies in The Pentecostal Mission Article or PLEASE REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY. STOP PUTTING WRONG INFORMATION. ANY PERSON CAN MAKE UP CONTROVERSIES. I HOPE WIKIPEDIA WILL MOVE TO A HIGHER STANDARD — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomasmath72 (talk • contribs) 04:23, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Why You want to Delete ZEBRONICS page
HI Exemplo347 Can I know the reason for why you are applying to delete the page ZEBRONICS. I don't think it has any errors nor looks like a advertisement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keschristo (talk • contribs) 11:33, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- Greetings. The reasons for the Speedy Deletion are stated in the Speedy Deletion template - namely, the following criteria apply - WP:A7 and WP:G11. Also, when an article is protected from creation, you shouldn't create an all-capitals version of the title to bypass the protection. Regards.Exemplo347 (talk) 11:37, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
Speedy Deletion of page is not applicable
HI Exemplo347,
I feel G11 is not applicable kindly read it carefully before applying.
- Well you're incorrect. It applies. Please note that using multiple accounts to edit Wikipedia is not allowed. Exemplo347 (talk) 11:44, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
Exemplo347 no it is not applicable. Anybody can edit the pages in Wikipedia. Many people editing a same article can't be considered as spammers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kesavanchristo (talk • contribs) 11:47, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- It is applicable. Anyway, the place to discuss this isn't on my talk page - you should press the "contest this deletion" button on the article, make a short statement why you disagree and then wait for a response from an administrator. You should only press the button once - don't use multiple accounts to do it. Exemplo347 (talk) 11:49, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

CSMonitor Photojournalist Page
Hello - I see that you edited my draft of the [N. Converse] wikipedia page. I think you said that linking to csmonitor.com was a copyright infringement, but I work for CSM and we have rights to the article. Does that mean I can still reference? I'm just about to add the COI bit. Also, I'm not sure if you took out some sections of the articles, but I was wondering why they can't be used. Much appreciated! Csmonitorwiki (talk) 15:35, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- Greetings @Csmonitorwiki:. Unfortunately, copyrighted material cannot usually be added to Wikipedia, even if you work for the people who own the copyright. Have a look at WP:COPYVIO for information, including the procedure required if a copyright holder wishes to release copyrighted information for use by the Wikimedia Foundation. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 15:39, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
Thanks very much for your reply @Exemplo347:. The article does contain facts about Gordon Converse's life (e.g. he was named Newspaper-Magazine Photographer of the Year in 1959) - would I be able to cite those? I'm working on submitting a release of copyright, but may run into impediments with legal counsel at CSM, so I thought that in the meantime I might be able to include these facts. Thanks!
- If you use your own wirds (not just paraphrasing) then that would be fine (you should still cite & reference) so go ahead! Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 16:36, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Something regarding an AFD close...
Hi, to the best of my knowledge, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Material Sciences Corporation do not warranted a NAC. Both the sides were evenly poised and per WP:NACD:-Close calls and controversial decisions are better left to admins.
And taking a decision based (solely/mainly) based on Cunard's sources(which was the last opinion) somehow gave me the impression that the closer exercised a super-vote.Anyway, what d'ya think?Do not take this as a request to reopen the disc. or otherwise.Cheers!Winged Blades Godric 10:33, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
- Greetings @Winged Blades of Godric:. I closed the discussion as Keep, not based solely on Cunard's sources but also based on WP:NEXIST - Unscintillating listed sources also. Therefore, the claims made that no sources exist was demonstrated to be incorrect. It certainly wasn't a super-vote - it was a result of a policy-based analysis of the discussion.

- But Unscintillating's rationale was countered by DGG(and there's substance in it) and later Koffman etc.(folks who frequent company related AFDs etc) stayed for delete.So the consensus does not seem so easily understandable to me.Anyway, let's move forward.Winged Blades Godric 10:50, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
- I know it was a close call (and I'm happy to take flak about it) but someone had to make the leap! All the best. Exemplo347 (talk) 10:54, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

This is actually still a questionable close, especially as a non-admin, because I was actually going to comment and analyze since the one other comment, also analyzed them. Re-opening this would benefit for everyone to see the sources. Especially because the sources actually violate WP:What Wikipedia is not, given the offered sources actually contain pricing and costs info (WP: Wikipedia is not a sales catalogue). Such sources would not improve the article. SwisterTwister talk 15:14, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
- Fair enough @SwisterTwister:, I've undone the close. Regards Exemplo347 (talk) 15:32, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
