Uri Geller

This is Lincense2ill. I think my edits were fair. Some of the changes involved attempts to neutralize idea of career vs notoriety and celebrity appearances. His career work seems to have involved writing books based on the appearances, along with referenced oil and mining company work. Other edits focused on relevance with statements about James Randi's finances, not as it pertained to Geller. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by License2ill (talk • contribs) 00:14, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Novara Media nomination for deletion

On 3 October 2015 you nominated that the Novara Media page be deleted. Can you explain your reasons, for clarity's sake? This is a legitimate media organisation that doesn't seem to meet any of the reasons on the deletion policy. I.e., along notability guidelines, it is a reasonably large, legitimate media organisation, its page is backed up with reliable sources, it is not advertising (Novara are NFP), etc. Please clarify on this, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.21.133.91 (talk) 23:23, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

BBC

I didn't consciously set out to revert your edit - it was simply a result of an edit conflict. But, I think it's probably better to put both sides of the argument in this article - clearly the BBC as an institution is under review (some would say attack), so I think a brief mention is appropriate.

Living people's bios

Hi McGeddon: I did source it at the bottom qv. The Daily Telegraph, which quite clearly states that Corbyn's Order-in-Council affirmed his membership of the Privy Council yesterday (ie. on Friday). By the way, perhaps you are aware? that this matter has caused quite a stir among varying degrees of Wikipedia cognoscenti and incognoscenti! But, suffice to say that Corbyn is now a Rt. Hon. - even he says so himself. Perhaps you would be so kind as to restore the correct updated version? Many thanks. M Mabelina (talk) 08:26, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Grammar

You don't appear to have cited where I've changed any grammatical errors? If you would like to highlight this, if they are incorrect, I will of course change them.

Please note that this entire article is comprised of quite a few questionable, personal views and some citations which are disallowed on Wikipedia e.g. Blogs. All I'm attempting to do is to elevate it from the chatty style that it is at present up to a standard that is appropriate for an encyclopedia. I look forward to your reply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FordFrazey (talk • contribs) 07:38, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Contesting Article for Speedy Deletion

Hi, an article that I submitted for Cloudcade was deleted on account of "G4: Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion". The article complies with all guidelines set forth by Wikipedia. All information are properly cited via credible sources, contains objective facts, are not self-promotional and contains helpful information for those who are interested. Please take a look for yourself, all previous comments regarding the Company being "non-notable", "self-promotional", etc have been properly addressed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloudcade The company has since launched a popular game on mobile and web called Shop Heroes. I would also like to create an article around that as I'm an avid fan. I am requesting for the article to be un-deleted, thanks for you time and consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xenith711 (talk • contribs) 17:55, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi User:McGeddon, please note that the context of the article has since drastically changed since 2014. The company has since launched a product, Shop Heroes, which was actually featured by Apple with the release of iOS9 and further featured by Google Play all across last week as the top game worldwide. The company has two offices, one successfully released product and a 2nd one in the works according to their team. There are also published reviews of the product all over the web, with a few cited in the updated article. Please take a closer look. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xenith711 (talk • contribs) 18:17, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi,

My addition to the GoPro article and the overheating problems that the HERO4 face has been archived until a reputable source is added.

McGeddon, Sir or Madam

A few days ago, you left a message on my Talk page about what a minor edit is. --- What if I add one or two links to the See Also or External Links section? Is this okay to call a minor edit? I realize I probably use the "minor" label too much, but sometimes it's hard to draw the line. Thanks in advance for any clarification. (I do punctuation/spelling edits, but the vast majority of my contributions in the last year have to do with content -- or the way something is expressed. Have also been marking broken or dead [defunct website] links, if I can't easily fix them.)

Yoiking with the Winged Ones and getting off this bus

Hi there.

I joined Wikipedia in order to contribute both in legal theory, epistemology, ontology and Sami issues.

When starting off with the article 'Yoiking with the Winged Ones', I got pointed some issues on that the references werent good enough. As I tried to provide more references, I got more issues pointed out on the tag. As I tried to resolve them, more issues were added. Finally the article was nominated for deletion. Then I stopped editing it.

The editing does not seem to be predictable. It is not predictable how much work you would need to put into an article. Based on the pattern of editing, the content of the editing and the style it is not clear what kind of background and competence is determening the editing process. The editing seems to be done by someone who is not competent in the fields and of the different referencing conventions as well as the prose that can be used.

I find this process a bit Kafkasque, and want to get off this bus. I have stored my article on my cloud, and I see that there are some regulations that I should not blank out my article during the process when deletion is considered. I dont want to have issues going on with anybody, and would kindly ask how I could withdraw my article and further participation in the most peaceful and positive way.

With all the Best

Editing of the page about Yoiking with the Winged Ones

my talk page

Tx so much for the response.

Well in case the problem is lack of another source mentioning the recording, then the record has actually been mentioned in the one and only newspaper in Sami - Avvir. The URL is: http://avvir.no/kultuvra-oddasat/2015/10/dasa-cahka-fiinna-stuora-govva.

The question then is how I can communicate that fact.

80m6an (talk) 17:02, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi there

I see that you have visited the article, and reiterated the notabillity tag. It is ot easy to understand the issue now.

I have now given two external sources the paper Ávvir and NRK Sámi Radio. a) Are the paper Ávvir and NRK Sámi Radio not 'external', 'multiple' or 'reliable' sources? b) It is stated in the tag that I need to provide more sources about the topic. I have now provided 40 references mainly from scientific texts. It is almost one reference pr sentence. What is the protocol? Should I have multiple references for each sentence, so that we have 80 references? Should there be 120? Should there be more than that? In that case how many?

Under Baby Boomers you removed dates that Strauss and Howe use for the cohort. This is referenced and you still removed it.

Re: Chris Beal prod

Hi McGeddon,

There have been several past discussions at WT:PROD about whether articles deleted at AFD and later recreated can be prodded. See WT:Proposed_deletion/Archive_13#AFD_Zombies for one such discussion. While there has been some disagreement, in general the majority of participants in the discussions have said that if an article was deleted at AFD, then a later article on the same subject can't be deleted by prod. Neither the title nor the contents of the article are the main factor to consider, but instead whether the subject of the article is the same as the subject discussed at AFD. So if the new article is about the same Chris Beale discussed at AFD, then the new article can't be deleted by prod (regardless of if the article is completely rewritten). There is less agreement on whether prod can be used when a new article has the same title as an old article but is on a different subject. In general, I've noticed that prods of articles that happen to have the same title as an article discussed at AFD but are actually about a different subject are allowed to stand. In this case though the article seemed to be about the same person who was discussed at AFD, so prod wouldn't be usable on it. Calathan (talk) 19:53, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Back from work. Yes, some of us do, still. I read the crystal clear guideline (thank you for taking time to educate me) and I think you are confusing "noted" with "notable." A thing may be notable without being noted, yet. A silly distinction? Not, I would think , for an encyclopedia. I would suggest a change from "notability," to something like "authenticated by a source more credible than Wikipedia, or at least more official."

About volunteerism, a pet topic for me, being a refugee from the non-profit sector. I think it a tragedy what the web has done to some segments of the economy, music and books in particular. (I worked as a small press manager for a number of years.) You're a fine editor obviously, and crackerjack smart. Why on earth would you give your talents away? Schools are economies, they have money. It does not serve anyone to give the product of valuable labour away. Au contraire. RobLab (talk) 01:24, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Request for help on Invader

Hi User:McGeddon, would appreciate any help you can give - largely I don't want to see this work destroyed and lost if it can be helped. While I understand the NY Times article doesn't cite this piece, I think it's difficult to find definitive sources on graffiti art work, and there's a clear time period alignment and correlation to this instagram post which is mentioned in the NY Times article. https://www.instagram.com/p/-17d6jIMDb/?taken-by=invaderwashere

What would be your suggestion? Thegruecrue (talk) 22:37, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. I'll consider doing that. I've also tried contacting the artist via the contact form on his webpage http://space-invaders.com/world and a few art world contacts I have in NY to see if perhaps they can help authenticate and preserve, which is my real purpose in the end. BTW, do you follow his work / page in particular? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thegruecrue (talk • contribs) 23:16, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

... and what if it's confirmed that this is a piece by Invader? As in, his iOS application "Flash Invaders" confirms that this is his, listed in his gallery as NY_181 - see http://space-invaders.com/flashinvaders/ where you'll see the successful confirmation.

Hello McGeddon (talk · contribs), I have found three sources that state that Generation Z begins from the mid or late 1990s as opposed to the 2000s, I think this should be used instead of saying from the 2000s onwards.

Ramil Garifullin

Dear McGeddon Again raised to remove the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramil_Garifullin. Earlier in 2014, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ramil_Garifullin thanks to Your help, the article was taken out of removal. And here it is again. Please pay attention to the discussion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ramil_Garifullin What, in my opinion, involves removal? Here is the arguments :

1. The initiator of removal Fedor Babkin is the assistant Akim Dubrov. That is, there is a tandem Fedor Babkin-Akim Dubrov. Akim Dubrov and Ramil Garifullin is a long – standing opponents and have antagonism. A significant portion of the papers and books of Professor, candidate of psychological Sciences of Ramil Garifullin dedicated to drug prevention. Moreover, Ramil Garifullin in the media acutely raised the issue about the dangers of certain articles in Wikipedia dedicated to drugs and psihodelii (http://www.securitylab.ru/analytics/472275.php.) On the other hand, Akim Dubrov is the author and translator of books in Russia dedicated to drug substances and an author of articles on psihodelii in Wikipedia. It is likely that the main antagonism between Akim Dubrov and Ramil Garifullin is now in the risk of publications on drugs and psihodelii in Wikipedia. 2. Earlier this conflict Akim Dubrov - Ramil Garifullin has been associated with the publication of an article about Garifullina negative article about Snowden. Article about Garifullin on Wikipedia was removed in 2013 on the day of publication in the Russian newspaper article about Snowden. 3. Ramil Garifullina good level of scientific citation http://elibrary.ru/author_refs.asp?authorid=295329&SesCookieID=372174247&UserID=175914337. Ramil Garifullin told me that if would be continued against him as slander in the discussion of Wikipedia, he is libel to sue. 4. Moreover, this identity in the English Wikipedia is seen as a well-known Russian journalist and writer, not as a scientist. Although the number of scientific articles and monographs enough (watch out links http://elibrary.ru/author_refs.asp?authorid=295329&SesCookieID=372174247&UserID=175914337. Therefore it is incorrect to use the same discussion for deletion on the Russian Wikipedia. 5. The Internet is the namesake and namesake, Ramil Garifullina, who is really engaged in pseudoscience and is in jail. It's a different person. Not to be confused! So it looks like slander. 6. Based on this English article was formed a modified Russian text to Russian Wikipedia, which upheld the administrator --be-nt-all Here is his assessment: the Draft looked, the chances of successful recovery are good, although above the neutral still need to be work --the be-nt-all 07:40, November 25, 2015 (UTC). This text was revised and edited based discussions-2013. Here is the translation: 7. But Akim Dubrow was removed for some reason https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Irek_Minnullin Irek Minnullin 22:27, 24 November 2015 (UTC) . 8. be-nt-all gave me an assignment to work on the draft is not directly on RS, but on the appropriate subpage: User:Irek Minnullin/Garifullin Ramil, Rosiewicz --be-nt-all16:43, 26 December 2015 (UTC) 9. Ask the participants to carefully examine all links and articles Garifullina and not to succumb to provocations tandem Fedor Babkin-Akim Dubrov. Article revised in the light of ancient comments-2013. The article is about a famous essayist and writer. The merit of Ramil Garifullina as a scientist is sufficient. 10. Please withdraw or remove the article from deletion! 11. And think, what are the motives of the authors of the Russian Wikipedia to put the question of removal of articles from the English Wikipedia.Irek Minnullin (talk) 00:57, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Response to message re: Paulo Coelho

HI McGeddon, Thanks for your message re my edit to this page. I've read through the guidelines and notes on citations, and reliable sources. In my edit i had included links to both FORBES.com and OBSERVER.com - both news outlets i believe to be highly credible sources. The notes I have made, are mentioning the content of these articles and the recent proof of events that have come to light.

I'll ask you now, whether, using the correct citations as stipulated in the guidelines will be sufficient for this amendment to the page to stay published?

SkyscraperCity redirect

We recently deleted the SkyscraperCity article Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SkyscraperCity (4th nomination). The SkyscraperPage article has the same problems as the SkyscraperCity article. I proposed a merger with Skyscraper where both sites get a brief mention. Between these two sites, there are over 1,000 wikipedia link-backs. It seems reasonable to discuss a merge solution, rather than dismiss it out of hand. I considered an AFD for SkyscraperPage, but thought a merge might be a more conservative approach. With 1,000 link backs, its hard to dismiss these sites, yet I voted to delete the article as they do not meet WP:WEB. By way of disclosure, I have only passing interest in the article and topic area - not a hill to die on. Please answer here. Thanks. Wiki-psyc (talk) 21:17, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gen (Actor)

Hi McGeddon,

I removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on Gen (Actor). I really don't understand why you added the speedy deletion tag to that article, as the article gave a very clear claim to significance and obviously shouldn't have been deleted under speedy criterion A7. The article was already tagged with the appropriate deletion tag, BLPPROD, so it will probably still be deleted, but please be careful when adding speedy deletion tags to only use them where they belong.

Novice Contributor

Gee whiz, McGeddon. That was a bit harsh. I was trying my best, not attempting to create lists of external links. I did read the guidelines before trying this first attempt at contributing to Wikipedia, but I guess I just didn't fully understand. I wanted to give the celebrity cats their due and let users find as many as possible. So many have not been included on the Cats on the Internet page. I thought listing their awards and honors would be helpful so I included them, not because I'm endorsing Friskies, for example, but because they are the company that gave out the award. I provided the links because I thought I needed to include citations. I'm so discouraged now, I'm going to "vanish." And by the way, it was very confusing having someone else working on the article at the same time I was. When I went to review my work and saw yours, I was alarmed. I didn't know what was going on. That was frightening for a first-time contributor. Maybe you should at least wait for the writer to at least finish what they're doing next time instead of jumping in while they're working. Or maybe message them first. That would be better. Signed, vanishing vickie2552 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vickie2552 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Shironeko

I just reviewed the Cats on the Internet article. I can't believe you erased the entire Shironeko entry. I spent an hour researching him and writing the article. Not until the end did I mention two or three commercial awards/honors. Prior to that, I told about what kind of cat he was, when he was born, how he got his name, how his fame started and spread. And I cited all that. Why did you delete it? I don't get it. You left most of Nala and Oskar. Why wasn't Shironeko acceptable? vanishing vickie2552 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vickie2552 (talk • contribs) 22:05, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply, McGeddon. I would reply with a direct message, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. Sigh. I was definitely writing at the same time you were editing. I just didn't know that at the time. When I reviewed my work, I saw someone else's and that really confused me. Then I went back to my work, finished it up and reviewed again. It looked like you were gone at that point and your work saved. I saved too and thought all was good, but then realized that my entry on Shironeko (a famous Japanese cat) was deleted. Sigh again. This is too time-consuming for me. I appreciate all the work you are doing to make Wikipedia what it is. I'm sorry I didn't fully understand the extent of the rules. I was honestly just trying to help. Adios. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vickie2552 (talk • contribs) 23:33, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Revised Code Biology page (10 Feb 2016)

Notes for Reviewer McGeddon:

[1] The first objection was that Code Biology has originated by “Barbieri dismissing biosemiotics as unscientific and forming a splinter society”. In reality the polemics with Biosemiotics was only a secondary accident and for this reason it has been removed from the last revised version.

[2] The second objection was directed to find out the secondary sources in Code Biology, and the answer is that they are of three kinds: (1) the 12 members of the Code Biology Society (see their websites in External links), (2) the participants in the Code Biology Conferences (see the conference photogalleries in External links); and (3) all those who have published articles on the organic codes that appeared after the genetic code and before the codes of culture (see their papers in References).

Speedy deletion nomination of Brooks Bombers

Hello McGeddon. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3), or significance (CSD A7) moments after they are created, as you did at Brooks Bombers. It's best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good fo Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately.

Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:07, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

You have the source

The source is authors William Strauss and Neil Howe (Check under Terminology): Wrote several books on the subject of generations and are widely credited with coining the term Millennials.[1] Howe has said "No one knows who will name the next generation after the Millennials".[1] In 2005, their company sponsored an online contest in which respondents voted overwhelmingly for the name Homeland Generation. That was not long after the September 11th terrorist attacks, and one fallout of the disaster was that Americans may have felt more safe staying at home.[2] Howe has described himself as "not totally wed" to the name and cautioned that "names are being invented by people who have a great press release. Everyone is looking for a hook."[1] Howe defines the Homeland Generation as people born from approximately 2005 to 2025.

No person born in the 90's is part of Generation Z. These guys did the intensive research for years as historians vs others who just have a 'feeling' that people born in the 90's belong to a different generation off of the eye test and vague research. A generation on average last 20 to 25 years from the birth of the individual to the birth of a child. So if Millennials birth range is from 1982 to 2004, then that obviously means that 2005 to 2025, give or take a couple of years, is the correct time frame of births for Generation Z. It's all about their place in history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.234.49.144 (talk) 17:05, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Paella edit

The edit I made was by no means destructive and I did it in good faith to improve the article. I removed a paragraph that started with uncited information and ended with cited information that doesn't help the article much. There are plenty of citations that point out the true etymology of the word "paella". The paragraph I removed explains a false one. Also, a comment precedes the paragraph asking users not to delete it but doesn't explain why. As I'm sure you know, no information in any WP article is sacred. Therefore, I will remove the paragraph again. Blue Eagle 21063 (talk) 00:26, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello McGeddon

Hello McGeddon,

I see you reverted my edit at Alfred Hitchcock and then noticed me on my talk. You appear to be guilty of leaping first and maybe (or not) reading later. As my edit summary already explained, I was not warring. I was simply bringing attention to my comments at Talk. Nothing more to see here and certainly no need for your - no doubt well-meaning, but unnecessary - intervention. Remember WP:AGF. Now I have to individually notice eds on their talk pages to be sure they see my comments at talk. No problem. Technically, you're right - without reading my log and talk comments - it probably looked like warring, but still. But thanks anyway. X4n6 (talk) 10:11, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

• I'll simply refer you to WP:COMMON: "it is acceptable to use common sense as you go about editing. Being too wrapped up in rules can cause loss of perspective, so there are times when it is better to ignore a rule. Even if a contribution "violates" the precise wording of a rule, it might still be a good contribution." Regarding your suggestion that I wait "after a week or two" - I'll also note that my edits were reverted within hours. Pretty sure we'll have a discussion on that sooner, rather than later. But again, as I accept that you are well-meaning, (and really see no point in dragging this out either), I'll take your response in the spirit that was intended, and with appreciation.

If you see someone make a common mistake, try to politely point out what they did wrong and how to correct it. Thank you. TJH2018 talk 15:13, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

UVB-76

There is a video on YouTube of a recording of UVB-76 in August 1976. It's called something like "UVB-76 in August 1976 must watch rare!" I think it has a voice transmission Mrsplougeman (talk) 15:48, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

MOSDAC

Sac.mosdac appreciates and understands the deletion of individual satellite programs. The article is about the official web site of ISRO dealing with satellite data observations in the field of meteorology. I do not see any conflict of interest. MOSDAC is a web site. Sac.mosdac is not paid for creating this article on Wikipedia. The account Sac.mosdac has been created by an employee of SAC-ISRO. It is not a shared account. The data referred to in the product catalogue is scientific data. The data is not sold. It is meant for research purposes. As a policy the data is not meant to be used for any commercial gain. The idea was to let users know about the type of products that are generated and disseminated from Indian met-ocean missions. If this is still considered as an advertisement, the section on product catalog may be withdrawn by the reviewers. It took me time to figure out how to reply in the talk section. Sorry for the delay in replying to your queries. I am not paid by MOSDAC in any capacity. MOSDAC is an official web site of SAC-ISRO and a non-profit data repository. Yes my personal connection with MOSDAC is as MOSDAC Administrator. My responsibilities include the 24x7x365 operations related to real time satellite data acquisition, satellite data products generation and hosting the same on MOSDAC for use by the research and Academic community world wide.

John Shuttleworth "Other media: trim retail information and primary-sourced speculation"

Hi McGeddon,

For what it's worth I know first-hand that the John_Shuttleworth_(character) satnav voice will be released; I spent long enough editing the 59 sound files that go to make it and which Graham Fellows provided, getting the package 100% ready to go. AFAIK, it's still being tweaked and / or awaiting upload to the web site before being released, but I don't agree with the text "was planned" in the line "A John Shuttleworth voice was also planned." as it wasn't just planned; it has actually been produced. I am not going to revert the edit or anything as drastic, but should it go up on John's web site or be made available by other means, I'll come back and consider updating the article again.

Out of interest, what I would like to ask is what is your recommendation of "proving" or providing a citation when you only have email correspondence, or direct verbal contact with the article's subject for example? I have read up on the subject in the help pages, but haven't been able to find any clear guidelines (I expect I've overlooked them). Should you not use such information in articles until there is another type of citation proof available?

Thanks for any input.

Regards

My apologies for disturbing, but...

Would it be possible for you to rename this page to "Notable opinion polling and analysis about Islamic extremism and similar epithets by country" or "Notable opinion polling and analysis about Islam", or something similar, instead? These titles seem more neutral, and less controversial. Thanks in advance for any help. David A (talk) 19:24, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

about Danpyunsun and the Sailors article

Hi, I really thank you about your helpful comments. I accepted your comments so, I did something.
1. I removed links like an advertisement, inappropriateness, promotional contents and wrote from a neutral point of view.
2. I added secondary source like The Korea Herald article, JoongAng Ilbo article.
3. To Compare Danpyunsun and the Sailors with other Korean musician's article. This article is neutral, has no commercial contents.
Is it good? I want to know what Danpyunsun and the Sailors articles need. That article also has Korean wiki page 단편선과 선원들.

I reinstated the changes as I believe it usefully completed an article that had early years but nothing on later years. The material was sourced to a reliable newspaper, Daily Telegraph, which was quoted. I saw no reason for the deletion of my additions and so reinstated them. I could not see any box to state the reason why I believed they should be reinstated. As a chartered accountant, most of my Wiki submissions have been to update material about tax, which has proved uncontroversial. So I have little experience of dealing with disputatious matters. There is no point in arguing about this matter. If you want this entry to be incomplete, I have no reason to fight the issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.111.228 (talk) 09:07, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Stesmo. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of List of Google easter eggs. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

The redirection of "Hot-Stoppers"

The article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-Stopper was redirected to "Cup Lids" as it is believed that I (The editor) have an affiliation with the Hello Internet Podcast, CGPGrey or Brady Haran. This is in fact not true. I do not know these people nor am I in any way a friend with, family to, financially connected, sponsored, employed, a guest to their shows, or affiliated with these people or their companies/productions. I would like to appeal for the redirect to be reverted back to the article it previously was. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JVpants (talk • contribs) 12:14, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Dylanh724

In response to the removal of the "See also", my link (to throneoflies.com) was 100% related. Not only is it a mafia party game, but the competitor, "Town of Salem", was directly below where my link was removed. I have followed guidelines and it appears that this must have been a misunderstanding, as Town of Salem is the exact genre (mafia party game) and product type (video game). I noticed my edit was also removed from the Town of Salem as well, indicating signs of a biased removal (I am not accusing, I assure you - this is just what it looks like from an external perspective: from someone I know that told me it was removed after just seeing it - that is, you removed two related mafia party game links of the same product type when a duplicate product/type still exists/was not removed, directly below my link). Thank you for looking into this to confirm validity of my former post with the request to restore it. Sorry for the trouble, cheers Dylanh724 (talk) 09:19, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @RisK Gaming: Wikipedia only includes topics that are notable, as evidenced by having received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources.

Fashion Week Calendar

Hi there:

Could you please let me know where I can find the complete fashion week calendar (not just the dates)? Because as far as I know, only FashionWeekOnline.com has this. But maybe you can help me out. Modeamad (talk) 18:17, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Excuse me

Kindly don't cite me for adding "spam" links or references, as:

a) The references to Fashion Week Online were made well before you and 2 other editors essentially decided a popular industry website was "non-notable" (in spite of numerous citations online from reliable sources)

b) The references were valid

Interactive and Easter egg (media)

Regarding this, is the article lead image interactive? After reading Interactivity to find out, I felt confusion, disorientation, slight nausea, loss of appetite, blurred vision, and dizziness. Of course, that could have been the cobalt 60 tea I was just drinking. Delicious stuff though somewhat silvery for some reason. Seriously, can an image be interactive?

Thanks

Thank you for all your work at WP:PNT. I don't go there very much because I can only translate French and Hungarian and very few of those come up there so I keep an eye but not a lot is in my ambit. I can translate Spanish or Italian or Latin or Roma because they are latinate languaes, and sometimes I do because that then gives the people at PNT a chance at a very rough draft to decide whether something is worth keeping or deleting. (I am not brilliant but better than Google Translate.)
