==Worldcoin==
I would think that the currency Worldcoin should be added as a major one, as it's grown to be the most highly traded on some notable exchanges e.g. Vircurex, has a market capitalization in line with the other major ones, and is growing rapidly. Would someone with the requisite expertise, please add this — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/78.144.238.28|78.144.238.28]] ([[User talk:78.144.238.28|talk]]) 18:33, 31 December 2013 (UTC) 
:Indeed you'll find this web site http://www.worldcoinalliance.net/ but it's not enough to get an entry on wikipedia.
:One of the best April's Fool this year was about the comparison between [[auroracoin]] (but not [[vaticoin]]) and [[worldcoin]] : you need to prove you live in [[Iceland]] to get [[auroracoin]]s but they say you must to prove to be Earth-citizen to be eligible to receive worldcoin [[airDrop]].

== weeding ==
I wanna weed the list of old and crap. Anyone have any objections to getting rid of all the things that don't have any information? [[User:I'm not human|**** you, you ******* ****.]] ([[User:I'm not human|talk]]) 12:30, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
:No objections, there are more verbose lists elsewhere. You could possibly go by transaction volume, and delete those under a certain volume (I'd go for anything under a certain fraction of Bitcoin's transaction volume) and note this chosen attribute in the article. I don't see why we need to keep the inactive currencies in this list. --[[User:BurritoBazooka|BurritoBazooka]] ([[User talk:BurritoBazooka|talk]]) 18:47, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

:Market cap isn't a good measure of importance. Total market depth, transaction rate or transaction volume would be more meaningful. [[User:Smite-Meister|Smite-Meister]] ([[User talk:Smite-Meister|talk]]) 00:04, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

It looks like another one of the sock puppets who have been removing entries concerning minor alt/digital coins has now sabotaged this page. (that's "Smite-Meister" I'm talking about). [[User:Timelord2067|Timelord2067]] ([[User talk:Timelord2067|talk]]) 03:19, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Looks like you are right Timelord2067. All of the cryptocurrencies that arnt in their bag are being deleted. This is really bad. Some guy is now quoting that this is a list of major cryptos but the title says otherwise.

On top of that people are saying that none of these coins are being traded which simply isnt true. Cryptsy is an alt exchange with alot of trading volume for most of the alternatives.

== usage note ==
I want to put a note at the top something like:
: Many of these are not in active use, or are only traded on currency markets.
Comments, thoughts? [[User:I'm not human|**** you, you ******* ****.]] ([[User:I'm not human|talk]]) 12:30, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
:: I thought that generally the list article is meant to be just a list (which is generally only linked in from the main article) with a link to the main article at the top. The main article can then have actual information about the topic (and perhaps a criticism section). For example: [[List of social networking websites]].
:: I'll add the above criticism to the main article. [[User:Cliff12345|Cliff12345]] ([[User talk:Cliff12345|talk]]) 18:36, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

== reliable references ==

Are http://dustcoin.com/mining and btc-e.com reliable sources? I can't find any real info about BTC-E on their website except that their from Bulgaria. Dustcoin seems to have been created by Bitcoin forum member Dust, but a quick look does not reveal where the information comes from. [[User:I'm not human|**** you, you ******* ****.]] ([[User:I'm not human|talk]]) 12:36, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
: I guess they can be considered reliable (or at least passable until better sources can be found).
::* BTC-E just lists the value of the coin according to what people have recently paid for it (and I suppose is the sort of site that the media would use to find a cryptocurrency's value when writing an article). I suppose they could edit the prices, but people would probably notice fairly quickly.
::* I think (at least for market cap) that dustcoin just works out <math>coin</math> <math>price</math> ''x'' <math>total</math> <math>coins</math>, so would be as reliable as anyone else using a calculator. [[User:Cliff12345|Cliff12345]] ([[User talk:Cliff12345|talk]]) 18:50, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

== Bitcoin-based ==

It's unclear what the Bitcoin-based column means. All of the currencies in the list have "yes" in that column. Does it mean the currencies are backed by Bitcoins? (Seems unlikely). Does it mean they're inspired by Bitcoin? If so, that should be referenced, and why is there a "yes" in the column for Bitcoin? Unless the column can be clarified, I'm going to remove it as it doesn't provide any information. [[User:Pburka|Pburka]] ([[User talk:Pburka|talk]]) 16:11, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
: I think it was meant to indicate that the currency had the same structure (proof-of-work producing a block chain) as Bitcoin, but that was before it was moved from the digital currency page to this page, so I presume we could remove it now as it's redundant. [[User:Cliff12345|Cliff12345]] ([[User talk:Cliff12345|talk]]) 17:04, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
:: Removed. I also notice that the "Ledger" column has "P2P" for all entries. Are there any other known ledger distribution mechanisms for crypocurrencies? If not, I propose that that column be removed, too. [[User:Pburka|Pburka]] ([[User talk:Pburka|talk]]) 03:45, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
::: Agreed, that column seems to be redundant too (I'll also remove these from the [[cryptocurrency]] article). [[User:Cliff12345|Cliff12345]] ([[User talk:Cliff12345|talk]]) 10:39, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
When this page didn't exist, there was a list of digital currencies. All the cryptocurrencies are based on the same source code, and idea, as Bitcoin. They have various variations, but they can all be traced to the Bitcoin project. Unless, and until, a non-Bitcoin based cryptocurrency turns up, I think it's a good idea to simply state that they are bitcoin based.
With regards P2P, so long as it is stated on the main crpytocurrency page, I don't care if it's not listed here. [[User:I'm not human|**** you, you ******* ****.]] ([[User:I'm not human|talk]]) 08:31, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
: That makes sense, it gives a lot of information to the reader, as they could quickly look up Bitcoin if they wanted to learn about the origin/structure of the cryptocurrencies, and it avoids the problem of clogging up the table/article. [[User:Cliff12345|Cliff12345]] ([[User talk:Cliff12345|talk]]) 21:57, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

There are a handful of SHA 256 based coins and a truckload of scrypt based coins - the "Yes" indicates they are derived from BitCoins method of generating the blocks where as the LiteCoins derived coins use the has (ie CPU and GPU hash power) to mine coins. I suggest you stop stripping information off of this and other pages as clearly non of you know anything about the information you are removing. The age would read much clearer if the sock puppet "Smite-Meister"'s removals were restored. [[User:Timelord2067|Timelord2067]] ([[User talk:Timelord2067|talk]]) 03:26, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

== Proposed deletion of the infinitecoin page ==

I thought I should inform those reading this page that I have proposed the [[Infinitecoin]] article for deletion because I can't find any evidence of notability. If you wish to contest this, please remove the deletion tag from the Infinitecoin page. [[User:Cliff12345|Cliff12345]] ([[User talk:Cliff12345|talk]]) 22:07, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

== "Non-exhaustive list"? ==

Previously, this article presented the listed cryptocurrencies as a "Non-exhaustive" list of crypto currencies, and I don't think that is accurate anymore, or at least I think it is misleading. There are dozens of crypto currencies listed, and it is unlikeley that any other such (unlisted) currencies are being traded. As you can see on the list, there are plenty of crypto currncies with no market value; even the undisputed king of crypto currencies, bitcoin, is seldom used for commerce, save for a few markets. While I don't want to specifically imply that every crypto currency that exists is definitly on this list, The current wording gives the impression that there are scores of other unreported crypto currencies, so I am simply removing the word "non-exhaustive." If anyone disagrees, feel free to revert and tell me why. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Rustyfence|Rustyfence]] ([[User talk:Rustyfence|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Rustyfence|contribs]]) 09:13, 10 October 2013 (UTC) 

== Sources ==

Some coins can actually be removed. Everyone needs to agree on which sources are acceptable, since the sources about cryptocoins are new. I'll remove the talk sourced ones. If you feel strongly about other removals, I won't revert anymore. - [[User:Sidelight12|Sidelight]][[Special:Contributions/Sidelight12|12]] [[User talk:Sidelight12|Talk]] 13:17, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

:There has been a wholesale clear cutting of information from this page which is increasingly making the page non-relivant and hard to read. All the information removed by sock puppet "Smite-Meister" and others needs to be restored. [[User:Timelord2067|Timelord2067]] ([[User talk:Timelord2067|talk]]) 03:29, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

::I was alarmed by the removal at first, and I went back and forth between reverting and restoring it. We need a better source for the top few cryptocurrencies, which are/is likely to be found, to put some back on the list. Rucoin is also likely to have a source. Including ''source needed'' or ''better source needed'' templates are an option for currencies most likely to have a source. Even if it is not our intent to advertise smaller cryptocurrencies (even those that turn out to be scamcoins without our knowledge), it becomes an outcome by listing not well sourced ones. People can find the currencies without much hassle even if they're not listed here. I'm not quick to label someone a puppet. - [[User:Sidelight12|Sidelight]][[Special:Contributions/Sidelight12|12]] [[User talk:Sidelight12|Talk]] 11:39, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

== Dogecoin ==

dogecoin is simply a rip off of litecoin. It was started as a joke. How can it be taken seriously? Please delete. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/184.7.139.227|184.7.139.227]] ([[User talk:184.7.139.227|talk]]) 04:16, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

== Re adding all of the currencies striped away. ==

This entire wiki has been ruined. This is no longer a list of cryptocurrencies as it is a list of a few peoples favorite cryptocurrencies. I feel this wiki doesnt give a clear picture. I vote to add all of the missing currencies back.

Notablility is opinion debated by everyone. If doge is notable only because it was based on a meme, then its not notable at all because their is a coin known as MEMEcoin, and catcoin, and the labowskicoin.. Which would be in a neutral list of cryptocurrencies. So then it becomes a list of a few peoples favorites and not a list of what is actually notable. If this is only a redundant list then I vote to remove the entire thing because as I stated previously the current list is already mentioned in the other wiki.

== Listing all cryptocurrencies ==

From [[Wikipedia:LSC#Selection_criteria]]:

Quote "Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria. These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles: for example, List of minor characters in Dilbert or List of paracetamol brand names."

Quote "Short, complete lists of every item that is verifiably a member of the group. These should only be created if a complete list is reasonably short (less than 32K) and could be useful (e.g., for navigation) or interesting to readers. The inclusion of items must be supported by reliable sources. For example, if reliable sources indicate that a complete list would include the names of ten notable businesses and two non-notable businesses, then you are not required to omit the two non-notable businesses. However, if a complete list would include hundreds of entries, then you should use the notability standard to provide focus to the list."

These are only commonly used criteria, and are not written in stone. Listing all cryptocurrencies would be acceptable under both criteria.

For information about the cryptocurrency, the Btcointalk original post for the cryptocurrency and the website of the cryptocurrency are clearly primary sources, which [[Wikipedia:Primary_sources#Primary.2C_secondary_and_tertiary_sources|are acceptable on Wikipedia]].

Anything in http://www.technologyreview.com/news/513661/bitcoin-isnt-the-only-cryptocurrency-in-town/ is good for inclusion. PCWorld has an article on an alternative coin, but unfortunately why should something that dumb be included in this article (consensus might help with this). There was a reputable source here before, I don't know where it went, also there is a new york times article about altcoins.

==Criteria to be listed here==
Before there's an editting war, which seems to happen often in all Cryptocurrency pages. I want to suggest some criteria to be met to have a crypto listed here.
<ul>
<li> Notable of course. Having mainstream media 'specifically' mentioning it. There are many self-serving blogs in the web, those obviously cannot be a source, same with self-serving press releases. The mentioning media should have no 'affinity' to the crypto, so news like 'cryptocoin news' shouldn't quality, as in the crypto world, you can pay $25 and be mentioned. However, Charitible events such as Dogecoin's Sled sponser qualifies, as the media has no affinity to Crypto to start with. This also shows a 'monetarized transaction' has actually took place, reinforcing the Cryptocurrency as actually a 'currency'.
<li> Still in Function, coins no longer functional, or forked completely, should be indicated as 'Disfunct', while they might meet 'Notability', the fact they are no longer listed in exchanges to have any traded volume should be noted. Else everyone can shock the market.
<li> Has a community. This is another prove the coin is in use by 'people'. Disfunct coin will have little to no community behind it. Community can be in Reddit/their own forums/Twitter/Facebook. This rule is just to weed out coins that are absolute jokes that only a few people know about.
<li>** note: Market Capitalization and Liquidity. This I feel will be very controversal, as there's no saying where the line should be drawn. However, should all 3 above rules are already adhere, the crypto should have some min recognizable Market Cap/Liquidity.
</ul>
How we think about this?
[[User:WinterstormRage|WinterstormRage]] ([[User talk:WinterstormRage|talk]]) 08:07, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:No, the criteria to be listed here is to have an article on Wikipedia. As was mentioned in the motivation for this list, the point was NOT to have notability discussions in multiple places. This is exactly how it works in similar lists elsewhere on Wikipedia, such as [[List of content management systems]]. The criteria for having an article in Wikipedia is to be [[WP:NOTABILITY|notable]], and those discussions can happen on the individual pages. Some of the criteria you list are not applicable to Wikipedia notability - a notorious scam coin, widely covered and therefore notable, that crashes and burns and has zero market liquidity, will still be notable.[[User:Greenman|Greenman]] ([[User talk:Greenman|talk]])

:: alright, I thought about it, and can accept it. Afterall, Wikipedia is not about being tech savvy, rather it is about what was Notable under wiki rules. I still feel it is a general mis-representation of what cryptocurrency is, (by having more joke coins than real coins this moment). Who knows, maybe in 2yrs, we all look back and call it 'all' a joke. I will try to see what coin deserves a page, to increase 'relevant/traded' currency to help the article.

:To me, as I would assume to many who are looking into cryptocurrency, the issue is whether or not the currency is completely anonymous. That is surely a highly notable issue regarding these, and a category or column that is much needed. As you can see, it is how one defines being notable. No currency is worth anything unless it can be used anonymously. Those that meet that criteria should be at the top of the pack regardless of market share, value or press coverage. Certainly, press coverage is highly undesirable when it comes to this subject. - [[User:KitchM|KitchM]] ([[User talk:KitchM|talk]]) 01:44, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

== Governance ==

Do we need this column in the table? Labelling cryptocurrencies as having governance or not can be highly controversial. The labels have no citations (except a few). The question is not even discussed on the pages of each individual cryptocurrency. The coloring is confusing: as if red "No" is a bad thing, and green "Yes" is a good one. I believe that we should remove this column. An alternative would be to require at least a reliable source for each "Yes" or "No" or, perhaps, a section in the corresponding article. [[User:Retimuko|Retimuko]] ([[User talk:Retimuko|talk]]) 19:28, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

== reliable references ==

Are http://dustcoin.com/mining and btc-e.com reliable sources? I can't find any real info about BTC-E on their website except that their from Bulgaria.

[[User:I'm not human|**** you, you ******* ****.]] ([[User:I'm not human|talk]]) 12:36, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
: I guess they can be considered reliable (or at least passable until better sources can be found).
::* BTC-E just lists the value of the coin according to what people have recently paid for it (and I suppose is the sort of site that the media would use to find a cryptocurrency's value when writing an article). I suppose they could edit the prices, but people would probably notice fairly quickly.
::* I think (at least for market cap) that dustcoin just works out <math>coin</math> <math>price</math> ''x'' <math>total</math> <math>coins</math>, so would be as reliable as anyone else using a calculator. [[User:Cliff12345|Cliff12345]] ([[User talk:Cliff12345|talk]]) 18:50, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

== Bitcoin-based ==

It's unclear what the Bitcoin-based column means. All of the currencies in the list have "yes" in that column. Does it mean the currencies are backed by Bitcoins? (Seems unlikely). Does it mean they're inspired by Bitcoin? If so, that should be referenced, and why is there a "yes" in the column for Bitcoin?

When this page didn't exist, there was a list of digital currencies. All the cryptocurrencies are based on the same source code, and idea, as Bitcoin. They have various variations, but they can all be traced to the Bitcoin project. Unless, and until, a non-Bitcoin based cryptocurrency turns up, I think it's a good idea to simply state that they are bitcoin based.
With regards P2P, so long as it is stated on the main crpytocurrency page, I don't care if it's not listed here. [[User:I'm not human|**** you, you ******* ****.]] ([[User:I'm not human|talk]]) 08:31, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
: That makes sense, it gives a lot of information to the reader, as they could quickly look up Bitcoin if they wanted to learn about the origin/structure of the cryptocurrencies, and it avoids the problem of clogging up the table/article. [[User:Cliff12345|Cliff12345]] ([[User talk:Cliff12345|talk]]) 21:57, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

There are a handful of SHA 256 based coins and a truckload of scrypt based coins - the "Yes" indicates they are derived from BitCoins method of generating the blocks where as the LiteCoins derived coins use the has (ie CPU and GPU hash power) to mine coins. I suggest you stop stripping information off of this and other pages as clearly non of you know anything about the information you are removing.

== "Non-exhaustive list"? ==

Previously, this article presented the listed cryptocurrencies as a "Non-exhaustive" list of crypto currencies, and I don't think that is accurate anymore, or at least I think it is misleading. There are dozens of crypto currencies listed, and it is unlikeley that any other such (unlisted) currencies are being traded. As you can see on the list, there are plenty of crypto currncies with no market value; even the undisputed king of crypto currencies, bitcoin, is seldom used for commerce, save for a few markets. While I don't want to specifically imply that every crypto currency that exists is definitly on this list, The current wording gives the impression that there are scores of other unreported crypto currencies, so I am simply removing the word "non-exhaustive." If anyone disagrees, feel free to revert and tell me why. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Rustyfence|Rustyfence]] ([[User talk:Rustyfence|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Rustyfence|contribs]]) 09:13, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

::I was alarmed by the removal at first, and I went back and forth between reverting and restoring it. We need a better source for the top few cryptocurrencies, which are/is likely to be found, to put some back on the list. Rucoin is also likely to have a source. Including ''source needed'' or ''better source needed'' templates are an option for currencies most likely to have a source. Even if it is not our intent to advertise smaller cryptocurrencies (even those that turn out to be scamcoins without our knowledge), it becomes an outcome by listing not well sourced ones. People can find the currencies without much hassle even if they're not listed here.

::::: Here is the [[Wikipedia:LSC|list inclusion policy]]. Independent notability is not always required for every member of a list, but verifiability using reliable sources is, and that is what they're lacking. Coinmarketcap, bitcointalk and project pages are not reliable sources. [[Dogecoin]], unlike all the entries removed, actually is notable (if only barely) according to Wikipedia standards. The fact that it might be a joke does not enter the equation at all. [[User:Smite-Meister|Smite-Meister]] ([[User talk:Smite-Meister|talk]]) 13:12, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
:::::: Many coins listed on [[List of Cryptocurrencies]] and [[Cryptocurrency]] only link to Coinmarketcap, their own Whitepaper and a founder's article on Medium. See virtually any late 2017 currency. See for instance IOTA's references. We need objective measures for inclusion, because otherwise a question of bias rises.
::::::: I agree, some of these coins on this list are very un-notable (e.g. Coinye) and some I really can't see why they've been added. That being said, just because one person doesn't think a coin should be added doesn't mean it should stay off the list. We need a variety, e.g. algos, earliest, most innovative, failed coins, coins that started off well, coins that have taken ideas from others and expanded on the technology, etc. [[User:Leopheard|leopheard]] ([[User talk:Leopheard|talk]]) 00:10, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
:Yes, we don't need two separate lists, only a list of cryptocurrencies with consensus. [[User:YubbaDoo|YubbaDoo]] ([[User talk:YubbaDoo|talk]]) 19:46, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Notablility is opinion debated by everyone. If doge is notable only because it was based on a meme, then its not notable at all because their is a coin known as MEMEcoin, and catcoin, and the labowskicoin.. Which would be in a neutral list of cryptocurrencies. So then it becomes a list of a few peoples favorites and not a list of what is actually notable. If this is only a redundant list then I vote to remove the entire thing because as I stated previously the current list is already mentioned in the other wiki.

== Listing all cryptocurrencies ==

From [[Wikipedia:LSC#Selection_criteria]]:

Quote "Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria. These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles: for example, List of minor characters in Dilbert or List of paracetamol brand names."

Quote "Short, complete lists of every item that is verifiably a member of the group. These should only be created if a complete list is reasonably short (less than 32K) and could be useful (e.g., for navigation) or interesting to readers. The inclusion of items must be supported by reliable sources. For example, if reliable sources indicate that a complete list would include the names of ten notable businesses and two non-notable businesses, then you are not required to omit the two non-notable businesses. However, if a complete list would include hundreds of entries, then you should use the notability standard to provide focus to the list."

These are only commonly used criteria, and are not written in stone. Listing all cryptocurrencies would be acceptable under both criteria.

For information about the cryptocurrency, the Btcointalk original post for the cryptocurrency and the website of the cryptocurrency are clearly primary sources, which [[Wikipedia:Primary_sources#Primary.2C_secondary_and_tertiary_sources|are acceptable on Wikipedia]].

*http://coinmarketcap.com/ isn't a good source for inclusion. As for sites that only focus on altcoins, nothing has emerged as reputable yet. A reputable newspaper or magazine works. Anything in http://www.technologyreview.com/news/513661/bitcoin-isnt-the-only-cryptocurrency-in-town/ is good for inclusion. PCWorld has an article on an alternative coin, but unfortunately why should something that dumb be included in this article (consensus might help with this). There was a reputable source here before, I don't know where it went, also there is a new york times article about altcoins. A coin doesn't have to have its own page to be included, it just needs mention once in a reputable source (to have its own page it needs more reputable sources). - [[User:Sidelight12|Sidelight]][[Special:Contributions/Sidelight12|12]] [[User talk:Sidelight12|Talk]] 04:37, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

==Criteria to be listed here==
Before there's an editting war, which seems to happen often in all Cryptocurrency pages. I want to suggest some criteria to be met to have a crypto listed here.
<ul>
<li> Notable of course. Having mainstream media 'specifically' mentioning it. There are many self-serving blogs in the web, those obviously cannot be a source, same with self-serving press releases. The mentioning media should have no 'affinity' to the crypto, so news like 'cryptocoin news' shouldn't quality, as in the crypto world, you can pay $25 and be mentioned. However, Charitible events such as Dogecoin's Sled sponser qualifies, as the media has no affinity to Crypto to start with. This also shows a 'monetarized transaction' has actually took place, reinforcing the Cryptocurrency as actually a 'currency'.
<li> Still in Function, coins no longer functional, or forked completely, should be indicated as 'Disfunct', while they might meet 'Notability', the fact they are no longer listed in exchanges to have any traded volume should be noted. Else everyone can shock the market.
<li> Has a community. This is another prove the coin is in use by 'people'. Disfunct coin will have little to no community behind it. Community can be in Reddit/their own forums/Twitter/Facebook. This rule is just to weed out coins that are absolute jokes that only a few people know about.
<li>** note: Market Capitalization and Liquidity. This I feel will be very controversal, as there's no saying where the line should be drawn. However, should all 3 above rules are already adhere, the crypto should have some min recognizable Market Cap/Liquidity.
</ul>
How we think about this?
[[User:WinterstormRage|WinterstormRage]] ([[User talk:WinterstormRage|talk]]) 08:07, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:No, the criteria to be listed here is to have an article on Wikipedia. As was mentioned in the motivation for this list, the point was NOT to have notability discussions in multiple places. This is exactly how it works in similar lists elsewhere on Wikipedia, such as [[List of content management systems]]. The criteria for having an article in Wikipedia is to be [[WP:NOTABILITY|notable]], and those discussions can happen on the individual pages. Some of the criteria you list are not applicable to Wikipedia notability - a notorious scam coin, widely covered and therefore notable, that crashes and burns and has zero market liquidity, will still be notable.[[User:Greenman|Greenman]] ([[User talk:Greenman|talk]])

:: alright, I thought about it, and can accept it. Afterall, Wikipedia is not about being tech savvy, rather it is about what was Notable under wiki rules. I still feel it is a general mis-representation of what cryptocurrency is, (by having more joke coins than real coins this moment). Who knows, maybe in 2yrs, we all look back and call it 'all' a joke. I will try to see what coin deserves a page, to increase 'relevant/traded' currency to help the article. [[User:WinterstormRage|WinterstormRage]] ([[User talk:WinterstormRage|talk]]) 09:00, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

:To me, as I would assume to many who are looking into cryptocurrency, the issue is whether or not the currency is completely anonymous. That is surely a highly notable issue regarding these, and a category or column that is much needed. As you can see, it is how one defines being notable. No currency is worth anything unless it can be used anonymously. Those that meet that criteria should be at the top of the pack regardless of market share, value or press coverage. Certainly, press coverage is highly undesirable when it comes to this subject. - [[User:KitchM|KitchM]] ([[User talk:KitchM|talk]]) 01:44, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

== Governance ==

Do we need this column in the table? Labelling cryptocurrencies as having governance or not can be highly controversial. The labels have no citations (except a few). The question is not even discussed on the pages of each individual cryptocurrency. The coloring is confusing: as if red "No" is a bad thing, and green "Yes" is a good one. I believe that we should remove this column. An alternative would be to require at least a reliable source for each "Yes" or "No" or, perhaps, a section in the corresponding article. [[User:Retimuko|Retimuko]] ([[User talk:Retimuko|talk]]) 19:28, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

== Block request ==

I had a very bad experience and a very bad dispute and an accidental misunderstanding on Test2 Wikipedia. The problem was that [[User:MechQuester]] was indeffed on enwiki and three other Wikis for abusing multiple accounts so I reported for their account to be globally locked and the same user, MechQuester, removed my sysop privileges on Test2 Wikipedia. Due to this, it is making me upset and therefore, I would like to be blocked for a day to two until the dispute is sorted out. I would like to be able to edit my talk page as well. Thanks. [[User:Pkbwcgs|Pkbwcgs]] ([[User talk:Pkbwcgs|talk]]) 19:23, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|Pkbwcgs}}, I’m not willing to place a one day self-requested block, as that’s something that you should be able to control yourself. If you want to be blocked, I will block you for a minimum of one week with no talk page access and the agreement that another admin will not unblock you until the block expires. A self-requested block is not something you should do lightly, so I don’t want to make one lightly. If you still want me to block you under these conditions, you can let me know here. [[User:TonyBallioni|TonyBallioni]] ([[User talk:TonyBallioni#top|talk]]) 19:29, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
:: In that case, can you please do indef so that I can go off for some time and request unblock when I want to come back. Can you please do an indefinite block with talk page access. I do not have a figure in mind for how much time I want to be blocked for. [[User:Pkbwcgs|Pkbwcgs]] ([[User talk:Pkbwcgs|talk]]) 19:35, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
:::[[User:Pkbwcgs|Pkbwcgs]], see [[User:Beeblebrox/Self-blocking requirements]]. My requirements are roughly the same as these. If you want a self-requested block to force a timeout from Wikipedia, I will do it, but you will need to give me a specific time period (1 week or more) and it will be a block without talk page access. If you do not give me a clear answer such as "I want to be blocked for X weeks/months and I understand I will not have talk page access." I will not block you. [[User:TonyBallioni|TonyBallioni]] ([[User talk:TonyBallioni#top|talk]]) 19:41, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
:::: I would like to be blocked here for a week without the ability to edit my talk page so that I can have some time off and I hope the dispute will be sorted out on that Wiki for a week and then only I can resume with editing Wikipedia. Editing just got too stressful so there had to be something in place to calm me down and this probably could be solution I can only hope for while it gets sorted out.

== Accidental vandalism ==

Hi,

Due to my inexperience I have accidentally slightly messed up this [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement]] page. I was trying to add a statement, i.e. "statement by reissgo" by editing a chunk called "statement by (username)" but after I added my 2 cents I noticed there there was no new "statement by (username)" ready for the next editor. I have no idea how to untangle the mess I made. Sorry. [[User:Reissgo|Reissgo]] ([[User talk:Reissgo|talk]]) 12:08, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
:{{tps}} I fixed it for you. Next time please read the instructions, which tell you to copy and paste the section before writing your statement. &spades;[[User:Premeditated Chaos|PMC]]&spades; [[User_talk:Premeditated Chaos|(talk)]] 13:18, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
::{{tps}} Hi {{u|Reissgo}}. That was a minor flub. It happens now and then. No big deal. Vandalism is deliberate and malicious editing which this was certainly not. Best regards... -[[User:Ad Orientem|Ad Orientem]] ([[User talk:Ad Orientem|talk]]) 13:36, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
::: {{u|Reissgo}}, my initial response was unnecessarily snotty. I shouldn't have written it like that. Ad Orientem is right, it's nothing but a minor mistake and I was a dick about it. I apologize. &spades;[[User:Premeditated Chaos|PMC]]&spades; [[User_talk:Premeditated Chaos|(talk)]] 14:13, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

== On your Italian problem... ==

Not a clue. I'd have suggested Miranda and CH... so... do they not cite any sources? [[User:Ealdgyth|Ealdgyth]] - [[User talk:Ealdgyth|Talk]] 13:47, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
:CH may or may not be citing Miranda, the bibliography there on this entry isn't great. Miranda is better, actually, and thank you for reminding me to check his bibliography to see if I can find any of those books online. I've been using him as a basis for an initial list off-wiki and then confirm using Pastor and Eubel. This cardinal nephew is obnoxious in that he is in the volume of Eubel before he starts listing their nationality explicitly. Pretty easy to confirm for someone who is Ep. or Aep. [Italian city here], but for people who just have general curial roles, I've been having to find other sources.{{pb}}Also, if you have any general comments on [[Papal conclave, March 1605]] and [[Cardinal electors for the papal conclave, March 1605]], I'd appreciate it. Trying to take the former to FAC and the latter to FLC, both because they're interesting, but also per my belief that those of us who work a lot behind the scenes should also try to contribute quality content. Never done anything featured before, so advice is appreciated :){{bcc|Ealdgyth}} [[User:TonyBallioni|TonyBallioni]] ([[User talk:TonyBallioni#top|talk]]) 14:04, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
:: I'll try to remember to have a look tomorrow evening when I'm in a meeting being bored out of my mind. Yeah, the "check the bibliography" trick is very useful for places like Miranda/CH or Medieval Lands where the site itself isn't really reliable, but they often have pointers to the useful stuff. I'm really surprised there aren't Italian printed works on the cardinals - you'd think that the Curia would at least have something like that ... something like [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/search/series/fasti-ecclesiae Fasti Ecclesiae] would seem to be basic scholarship... [[User:Ealdgyth|Ealdgyth]] - [[User talk:Ealdgyth|Talk]] 14:09, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
:::There are printed works: Eubel is the authoritative source according to the academic I reached out to about my conclave cleanup project: [https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Eubel%2C+Conrad%2C+1842-%22]. The issue with this particular cardinal is twofold: first, Eubel starts listing nationality directly rather than by office held in volume IV. Innocent IX's creations are in volume III. The second issue is the one that is making sourcing difficult to find in either language without doing a manual search of the print editions/their scans: he shares the exact same name as his uncle, Pope Innocent IX, and for obvious reasons, most of the sourcing talks about Innocent IX. I reached out to one of the stewards who was Italian to see if there was any more accessible sourcing in Italian, and he came up with the same problem. Just parsing through Miranda, there seems to be some 18th century Italian works that might list something like "of Bologna". Just trying to find the right volume in Google and Archive.org is the trick. Thanks again for the reminder there :) [[User:TonyBallioni|TonyBallioni]] ([[User talk:TonyBallioni#top|talk]]) 14:18, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
::::And Miranda pointed to the right source. He was off by 10 pages, though as to what he was citing... Page 324 and not 314. Thanks for your help again! [[User:TonyBallioni|TonyBallioni]] ([[User talk:TonyBallioni#top|talk]]) 14:37, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
{{tpw}} Tony, I'm not sure what you need here, but if it's about [https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Antonio_Facchinetti_de_Nuce this chap], a search such as [https://www.google.it/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=%22Giovanni+Antonio+Facchinetti%22+1606 "Giovanni Antonio Facchinetti" 1606] gets a few results specifically about him – not that they say much. Which is probably why he doesn't have an entry in Treccani ... Regards, [[User:Justlettersandnumbers|Justlettersandnumbers]] ([[User talk:Justlettersandnumbers|talk]]) 15:12, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
:All comments are welcome here! Unless of course, they are from guests talking to my valued talk page watchers like children (see [[#Note and warning on my talk page.|above]] before it is archived.){{pb}}Yes, I’d been trying strings with birth year and “Bologna” and none said the painfully obvious that he was in fact Italian, something semi-important to have cited on a list of electors. Maybe I’ll do a biographical stub on him now that we have some decent sourcing. Seems like an okay fellow as 16th century Italian clerics go.

== Why would Cluebot archive a recent thread that was posted to three hours earlier? ==

Damnit, Tony! I was going to post the following
{{collapse top}}
*{{re|Huggums537}} {{tq|''I smelled something fishy about your proposal''}} {{tq|''longtime editors backing each other up regardless of what seems make sense, be reasonable, or even be right/wrong''}} {{tq|''I've never seen an editor "lose their cool" over being reverted only one time before so it's kind of hard to comprehend. I'm sorry if I offended you over the one reversion.''}} should also be stricken. The first two are obvious, and I'm somewhat surprised they didn't go in your first batch of strikings; the last is obvious baiting, since you already had a lot of people angry at you ''before'' Legacypac reverted you, so writing as though the only thing LP had to be angry at was that you reverted the same edit ''again'' looks disingenuous. {{tq|''be upfront and honest with the man when nobody else is, then I guess there's not much else I can say about that''}} is also not great.
:For that matter, I would frankly feel a lot better if you'd strike your still-live assertions that you {{tq|''couldn't help but notice how Hijiri 88 likes to do his own wikilawyering by piping in links to guidelines while trying to accuse me of doing the same thing simply because I also choose to back up my position with actual specific guidelines.

Hello TonyBallioni,

Your "Blockchain Notification" was received, along with your note: "notified of the case".

As per your template suggestions, I have read:

:General sanctions
:User talk:TonyBallioni

Some questions for you, if you don't mind:

RE: Log of notifications
:List here editors who have been placed on notice of the remedies in place (including the diff of the notification). ......

:2018 notices
:Anoop Bungay (talk · contribs) notified of the case. [1]. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:17, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

:Question 1 - I notice that my name appears on this notice and no other name; would you help me understand "why"?
:Question 2 - Are you the "sanctioning administrator"?
:Question 3 - Am I free to contribute the talk page; there is a "person or persons" (an editor using a pseudonym) whom I would like to provide information to. Your answer is probably "yes", but just making sure.
:Question 4 - The only issue "at hand" is making changes to the "main article" page.

Looks like I picked a wild week (week of May 15, 2018) to introduce myself to the blockchain article page!!!

Best,

My goal is to add a differing point of view to help earn FA article class status, in accordance to the WP:PG. In fact, the person - when the responded to me - admitted that they were not certain that they were right or wrong yet they continued to "Decline my Request for Edit" even BEFORE I was able to respond to them.

::(1.2) Frankly speaking, I was planning on going straight to arbitration but the fella by "immediately declining my request for edit" appears to have stifled the conversation - which means that arbitration may be premature because the arbitration committee first wants "extensive talk". So, my next option was to enter the [[Disputed]] template for the article.

::(1.3) Finally, I wonder; maybe I should "re-copy-paste the [[request edit]] and let a different editor make a comment. Afterall, in this page of question (Blockchain) there are over 568 editors (or watchers) and only one person seems concerned about my addition - enough to refuse my request. As you know, 1 person is not a consensus. Further, the person did not "counter argue" my claims in accordance with WP:PG; they appear to have used a "strawman" argument, or worse, they seemed to have relied upon a brief written "opinion" and used this "opinion" as the basis of "Declining my Edit Request". In fact, this person is relying on information that is sourced from unverified sources and using these unverified claims as a basis of his opinion. This should be wrong, by any one's standards, shouldn't it?

::(1.3.1) For example, how do I get a consensus rather than a unilateral "no" to my request for edit. Much like the consensus questionnaire you had in the General Sanctions page where a number of editor's piped in with their decision. In anycase, Wikipedia is not the only source of public information but it is one of the more freely accessed mediums so I feel it is important to address this issue because as of now, the world's understanding of the history of application of blockchain principles in finance is not consistent with the intellectual property offices of most countries. (Feel free to see my contributions to get a sense of what I am a talking about").

::(1.4) One final concern, is that the Blockchain article is ignoring ontology and normal academic naming and definition convention. This is why we are at a "c" grade article.

You are a Wikipedia Administrator (from what I understand) so you have the ability to checkusers and I hope - provide guidance.

:Okay, [[User:Anoop Bungay|Anoop Bungay]], this is a lot but I'll try to explain.
::1.1:If someone declines your request, you can make it again and ask for another person to review it, but you have no right to have a COI edit request implemented. A large part of the reasons for these sanctions is that the English Wikipedia is in a particularly anti-COI editor mood right now.
::1.2: The Arbitration Committee would decline your case request. I promise you this.
::1.3: You can make the request again. I haven't read it, so I'm unable to tell you of the liklihood of it being successful. Keep in mind that repeating the same request over and over may be viewed as [[WP:DE|disruptive editing]], however.
::1.3.1: Consensus is achieved through discussion on the talk page. You can also raise concerns at noticeboards such as [[WP:NPOVN]]
::1.4: I try to avoid discussions of ontology on Wikipedia. We're an encyclopedia, not a philosophy journal.

Hello Tony. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=823544546#User:Natureium Do you recall this?] An editor just complained about admins being unwilling to hand out page mover rights so I reviewed it. Back in January, you said that a reconsideration in 3 months might be considered. The person involved has no edit warring blocks.

Would you review the recent history and see if your view would change at all? I can see that prior diplomacy can avoid the need to appear at AN3 at all, and that might be a factor in the filing of some of the reports.

== Appeal of warning issued by TonyBallioni ==

{{ping|Sandstein|Masem|NeilN|JzG|MastCell}} - I'm sorry to ping you all here, but my reasons are explained below.

I have no intention of "wiki-lawyering" the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_enforcement_log/2018&diff=prev&oldid=842706356 warning] TonyBallioni issued. I understand its intent, but the ramifications to my ability to operate on Wikipedia are at stake. As worded it says that I am " warned not to use administrative boards to further disputes on Wikipedia". Here are my concerns:

* No consensus for a warning: Only 3 of the 6 admins (Tony was one) advocated for any type of warning.
* No consensus on scope: 2 of those advised a warning not to ''abuse'' (not "use" as he implemented). Only 1 of the admins mentioned "administrative processes", the others directed it at AE specifically.
* The warning, rather than being about a ''specific'' past issue (as most warnings on [[Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log/2018]] are done) is worded as a sanction against ''future'' actions.
* Unintended chilling effect: As worded, the warning is essentially a ban on my use of admin boards completely, out of fear someone will point to this warning and claim I am "using" the board to "further" any dispute - ''even if my participation is 100% valid'':
** I am prevented opening any requests for behavior I see as inappropriate.
** I am prevented from appealing admin decisions. (which is why I had to ping you here)
** I am prevented even from defending myself it reports made ''about me''.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Netoholic&oldid=842744688 Tony has tried to allay these concerns and expanded on it], and I completely understand the intent behind it, but I do not feel future admins will understand. Anytime I ever participate in any admin board, someone may bring this warning up and a less generous read of it will at a minimum lead to lot of sidebar drama, or at worst lead to blocks or bans not intended here by Tony. I ask that the warning be removed (either because no admin consensus was reached or as "message received" by me since its done its job) or at a minimum reworded to eliminate this chilling effect. -- [[User:Netoholic|Netoholic]] [[User talk:Netoholic|@]] 21:23, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
:I’m not inclined to remove it: AE actions are unilateral admin actions not requiring consensus, there was support for it at AE (and no opposition), and another admin suggested an IBAN against you instead. A logged warning is literally the lowest “sanction” out there. Wording it for admin boards was intentional: just AE would likely shift disruption elsewhere, which shouldn’t be the point of an AE sanction. MastCell used that wording, I saw the advantage of it, and went with it. Also, all warnings are about future behavior, otherwise they wouldn’t be warnings. If others support lifting or changing this, I won’t make you go to AN to have it lifted, but I’m currently not seeing any reason to. [[User:TonyBallioni|TonyBallioni]] ([[User talk:TonyBallioni#top|talk]]) 21:31, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
::I don't think you've addressed the chilling effect part, which is the most damaging. I'm sure you're aware how easy it is for things to go off the rails, and essentially I would be "guilty until proven innocent" every time I ever set foot in an admin board. I would have to prove I am not "furthering a dispute" even if my justification is being there is 100% valid. I hope you can see fit to see how this warning could be misused or misinterpreted. -- [[User:Netoholic|Netoholic]] [[User talk:Netoholic|@]] 22:10, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
:::The point of a warning is to discourage disruptive behavior. If this makes you think twice before submitting reports that the rest of the community would think should not be resolved through admin boards, that is a good thing and the intent of any warning. [[User:TonyBallioni|TonyBallioni]] ([[User talk:TonyBallioni#top|talk]]) 22:14, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
:::: Do you disagree that, as worded, even posting to a board to defend myself in a report someone else created would be a violation of the warning? -- [[User:Netoholic|Netoholic]] [[User talk:Netoholic|@]] 22:19, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
:::::I do disagree with that reading, and I don’t think any admin would read it that way.

Even a recent topic ban proposal from Admin boards allowed the exemption for replying to filings.

{{u|Netoholic}}, you say you understand the warning's intent. So perhaps propose wording that you think would make the warning's intent clearer. You might also want to consider that admins have little patience for game-playing and will apply boomerangs if your restriction is frivolously brought up by other editors. --[[User:NeilN|NeilN]] [[User talk:NeilN|talk to me]] 14:02, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
:{{ping|NeilN}} - The boomerang I worry about is the one swiveling back to be on the basis of the loose wording of this warning.

Perhaps I'm not a good judge of appropriate timing for making a report, so instead it if were something like "Netoholic is advised to seek a 2nd opinion prior to making a request at AE" or something to that effect? -- [[User:Netoholic|Netoholic]] [[User talk:Netoholic|@]] 18:51, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
::No. That isn’t the intent of the warning, which was intended to be broad and include all administrative processes, and would only make the battleground mentality in AP2 worse (I can see the threads based upon that wording in my head right now.){{pb}}Since no one else seems to share your concerns, and you haven’t provided an alternate wording that is acceptable, I’m not going to change anything.

== Arab israeli conflict ==

It has come to my surprise that I have been accused of violating the terms of Wikipedia in regards to this issue, and I regret the threat issued to me of a temporary ban. I have almost always appealed to the editing community before I make any edits and I have treaded carefully ever since I have been informed of the guidelines of Wikipedia. When I list palestine, I ALWAYS make the distinction of it as an observer compared to the 194 other states and I have stated my respect for this platforms guidelines on many occasions. [[User:Talatastan|Talatastan]] ([[User talk:Talatastan|talk]]) 01:04, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
:[[User:Talatastan|Talatastan]], changing the name of Palestine in the article about Israel-Saudi Arabia relations is clearly in the restrictions. Just be more careful. Additionally, while I'm not sure if the mass name changes are covered by the A-I conflict rules, I suspect they are likely to be controversial and you're making them on pages not many people are likely to be watching. From a cursory overview of your edits, you seem to be here to push a pro-Palestinian POV. I have no problem with that POV IRL, nor do I have a problem with the pro-Israeli POV IRL. I just care about keeping the peace on Wikipedia and making sure we have a neutral encyclopedia.{{pb}}In regards to 500/30 restrictions, here is a good rule: it you think it could at all be reasonably construed to be part of the Arab-Israeli conflict, don't edit the page.

== Re: ==

Ok first of all, if you think I’m trying to pursue A pro Palestine anti Israel agenda that is far from the truth. All I am trying to push and campaign for is to list Palestine as independent from the DFS (de facto states) either with the sovereign states or as its independent category (possibly with Kosovo and Taiwan/ROC), its THAT DAMN SIMPLE. No I am not trying to be bias over any of the DFS, I just feel, from a factual and NPOV that Palestine, although not fully independent, exceeds the conditions that make a partially recognised state, as its legal status has considerably strengthened over the years, it is recognised by the UN (as an observer state like the Vatican) and is far more subsantially recognized than the DFS, so stop antagonizing me and making me look like some absolutist libtard trying to pursue an anti Israel agenda because I just feel that it’s not accurate to include Palestine with the DFS, but not necessarily with the 194 states. If the editing community just makes this minuscule change, I promise to cease all efforts in this issue. Besides, it’s still neutral if you say palestine instead of the PA, but what’s not neutral is if i said palestine and then referring to israel as lower than country status and you don’t call Kosovo the kosov am authourity not taiwan the Taiwanese authorities ?[[User:Talatastan|Talatastan]] ([[User talk:Talatastan|talk]]) 01:26, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
:I do my absolute best to stay out of ethnic/religious/nationalist conflicts on Wikipedia, so I don't know enough to compare the Arab-Israeli conflict to the conflict between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China or any conflict in the Balkans. All I'm saying is that in these sorts of disputes, names tend to matter and people tend to care. Discussion is likely ideal (or linking to a discussion on the topic), rather than wholesale changes through a bunch of articles, many of which likely aren't that actively watched, all on your own.

After looking deeper into it, I could see where CIR might have come in to play, but I don't think it's necessary right now.The editor shows an interest and an ability to learn and do right, if not at an accelerated pace. Removal of the new page reviewer right was a sufficient measure to prevent the immediate concerns and it had been removed shortly before the block was placed.We probably lost an editor that would have stuck around and done good things, for a long time. I didn't see where the block was needed at the time and came here to ask if there was something I was missing. In seeing the discussion in progress, I withheld my opinion believing it moot.Only upon seeing the discussion continue with what I first believed to be comments in universal support of the action did I decide to voice my dissent.

:::::::::::{{ec}} CIR is indeed better, and it was my mistake to go with NOTHERE. In terms of why I thought the block was neccesary: we had a user who was clearly emotionally distraught going around to (at the point I made the block) three pages, including 2 admins, pasting {{template|retired}} there, which for those who don't know, adds the page to [[:Category:Retired Wikipedians]]. I had no clue how many other pages he intended to do this on, it was disruptive, and I felt a block was needed to prevent him from further doing this. I went with indef because of the past CIR issues, and the NOTHERE choice was largely one of connivence: I thought it also fit at the time, but upon further reflection, I can see the points above. I still think the block is necessary as a disruptive editing block, but I appreciate the feedback. [[User:TonyBallioni|TonyBallioni]] ([[User talk:TonyBallioni#top|talk]]) 14:42, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

:For what it's worth the CSD nonsense he was taken to ANI over wasn't even the worst of it. I'd invite admins to take a look at the deleted content on both the talk page and in article history for [[The Canvas Hotel]]. A quick summary:
*Reddogsix tags A7
*IP SPA removes it
*Reddog restores it
*Quek removes it on the basis that "sources were added" (for the record, these are the sources:<ref>https://www.mysbusiness.com/company/The-Canvas-Hotel-Sdn-Bhd</ref><ref>https://www.jobstreet.com.my/en/companies/1017032-the-canvas-hotel</ref>)
*I restored it as there was literally no credible claim of significance
*Quek reverts me with the ES "to add G11 also"
*Quek uses Twinkle to add A7, G11
*Quek, 2 minutes later, decides that A7 again is not applicable, removes it
*Quek makes a null edit to re-add the G11, saying that A7 is not allowed
*Quek again removes all tags
*Quek then readds A7, G11

:I'd say that is a combination of disruptive editing, CIR and NOTHERE as it was only an attempt to pad their CSD log.

::I would agree with Chrissymad here, I had a look at Quek's CSD log last night and my first thought was that he was manipulating CSD nominations to expand his CSD log (a genuinely loathsome feature of Twinkle, incidentally). I know many people just care about the outcome - is a page eligible for speedy deletion and was it ultimately deleted, but I believe it's important that CSD is done correctly, that a page is only deleted when it's eligible for deletion and that it's deleted under the correct criteria so that undeletions and recreations can, in turn, be correctly handled.

== Dream Focus and plagiarized text ==

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Article_Rescue_Squadron_–_Rescue_list&diff=843282396&oldid=843281762] This "I never plagiarized text: you're just too sensitive and are looking for an excuse to undermine me" schtick is really getting old. Any idea what can be done about it short of ANI? What really bugs me is when I try to rewrite his work so as not to infringe on copyright he ignores the plagiarism issue and accuses me of OR,[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Immigration_Street&diff=827977335&oldid=708081613] and then when you revdel his work he just uses that as an excuse to deny other malfeasance.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Mottainai&diff=827728485&oldid=827727904]

And then there's Margin1522 who has recently reemerged and has started making elaborate, "poetic" arguments[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Curly_Turkey&diff=prev&oldid=842890447][https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Margin1522&diff=prev&oldid=843149241] in favour of close paraphrase (as though it were theoretically impossible to take a factual claim and reword it without making it less factual, or to place that which can't be expressed otherwise in quotation marks) that honestly go completely over my head... arrgh, I just don't know what to do about this. I've seen editors who stubbornly refuse to stop plagiarizing get indefinitely blocked in the past, but by this point even [[User:Alex Shih|Alex]] (whose second interaction with me was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive964&oldid=834113136#Goguryeo:_Requesting_quick_assistance here]) is telling me I should spend less time on ANI, and honestly I would want to avoid that even if people weren't telling me I should: the fact that I've (apparently?) got an outstanding content dispute with both of them[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FMottainai_Grandma&type=revision&diff=842840698&oldid=842706209] just makes it all the messier and even less ANI-friendly.

::{{tq|[I]'' didn't reword certain things enough to satisfy certain people''}} looks to me a lot like "you're just too sensitive" (as in "you are too careful and scrutineering", the sense in which I meant it above -- and as an aside {{tq|''You whine about stopping the personal attacks''}} looks a lot like the ''other'' meaning of "too sensitive"), and that whole comment was about how the only reason I (pretend to) have such high standards for being "satisfied" is because you and I have some disagreements over content -- I am "looking for an excuse to undermine" you, in other words.
::And I don't think anyone's "out to get me" -- my whole point is that you think I'm out to get you, keep saying as much, and this would make any attempt by me to deal with your copyvio issues extremely difficult.

::::Hi, {{u|Hijiri88|Hijiri}}. You know, I'd appreciate it if you would refrain from using the term copyvio with respect to me. As a professional editor I know what it is, take it very seriously, deal with it when necessary, and don't do it myself. What you're accusing me of is plagiarism, which is something different. To which I say, sorry if my previous explanation was a bit opaque. Let me try to put it another way. I agree that it's important to avoid the various kinds of plagiarism. But I also think that it's important to be faithful to the source and not misstate what it says. To a certain degree, these goals are in conflict. For example, the problems with the acceptable paraphrase examples in our plagiarism policy that I discussed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Plagiarism#Wording_of_paraphrase_examples here]. It starts with a well-known paper by Mansfield and Snyder, who showed that regime change causes instability that can be exploited by demagogues. Specifically they showed that new democracies tend to become aggressive and launch wars against their neighbors. Brown, the source we want to paraphrase, footnoted this and advanced the new argument that regime change also causes internal strife. To do so he used the rather vague expression "prone to violence". The problem is that our acceptable paraphrase examples interpret that as violence against the state. This is wrong. Brown doesn't say that. Somehow we have come 180 degrees from violence by the state to violence against the state – the opposite. The main problem here is that our editor read the Harvard guide citing Brown, but didn't read Brown. The guide recommends that students digest the source, put it aside, and then paraphrase it in their own words, and of course you can't digest a source if you don't read it. But I think part of the problem also lies with Brown's vague language. He could have cited a couple of key terms from M&S, but didn't. The lesson I take from this is that I am going to continue using words used by my source. Their words, not mine. I have a right to do this, as long as it's adequately attributed and/or quoted as explained in the policy. And in the future it's going to be not just adequate but bulletproof. I am through with relying on anyone looking at a footnote. If you catch me being "lazy" in the future, please do let me know. But for now can we just let it go? Thanks. – [[User:Margin1522|Margin1522]] ([[User talk:Margin1522|talk]]) 04:45, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
{{tps}} I hope Tony doesn't mind me posting here, but as he seems neutral in the above dispute, it seems like as good a forum as any. Not being involved or familiar with the above dispute, I'd be happy to offer myself as a neutral sounding board for what may or may not be a cv/plag/too-close=paraphrase. It is often a very fine line and in my experience most who cross that line do so in complete good faith, so I'd be glad to help with added opinions if that would be useful. Also I endorse Tony's recommendation of JLAN... they've got an uncanny knack for close paraphrase issues, again in my experience. [[User:Crow|Crow]][[User talk:Crow|Caw]] 20:32, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello Primefac,

I am new to Wikipedia. You flagged a 'copyright violation' on a biography i submitted for Irish entrepreneur, Paul Kenny. You mentioned it was taken from 'Naseba'; this content on his biography is all over the internet and his biography in many other event websites where he has spoken. The whole page seems that I wrote seems to have been deleted now. Can you please explain if I can get this page back? I am happy to delete what you don't want, it's just for sure there is no copyright infringement in anything I submitted. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Dubhessa|Dubhessa]] ([[User talk:Dubhessa#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dubhessa|contribs]]) 20:29, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
:{{bcc|Dubhessa}}Well, first off, simply because other sites might have stolen from Naseba doesn't mean that Wikipedia will do the same. Second, content on their website is {{tq| © 2018 Naseba}}, which means we cannot use it on Wikipedia. Third, since the content was taken entirely from other sources, there is little point in me returning the text; you will be better off simply starting over and writing everything in your own words - the other option would be to convince Naseba to donate the text (see [[WP:DONATETEXT]]) for Wikipedia to use. Either way, I'm willing to list the references so you don't have to find/format them again.
:Finally, if you [[Special:Diff/840894611|work for Kenny]] you will need to disclose this fact on your userpage (see [[WP:PSCOI]]) if you wish to continue writing about him. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac#top|talk]]) 20:53, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Primefac,

As I wrote, I am completely new to Wikipedia and to be honest have struggled to navigate the site and understand the processes so thank you for being patient. I understand that Wikipedia does not use copyrighted information, and I was never suggesting that they should as Naseba's content is in other sites online, my point is that the content on Naseba is simply Paul Kenny's biography that is used everywhere, on AYM's website, on any event he takes part in. I do work with Paul Kenny and wrote his biography that is on the Naseba site and many others. I work with the company he is MD for, AYM and I arrange his participation in numerous events. I was not in any way trying to hide this, I simply wanted to get his biography on Wikipedia as his partner James Whelton is listed on Wikipedia and as he has won a number of prestigious awards and has many accomplishments we felt justified in submitting his biography on here. I will use the link you have shared to disclose I work for the same company as him. There was no untoward intention on my part for submitting this biography. Can you advise what the best course of action for me is now in getting this listed on Wikipedia? As I have written, the biography on Naseba is in my own words! I submitted this to Naseba when Paul spoke on their panel last year; it's just his standard biography we use for every event except what I wrote for Wikipedia was updated to include that most recent award 'Arabian Business Mentor of the Year' award and his work with the Global Student Entrepreneur awards. looking forward to hearing from you and thank you again for patience, as I am very new to writing on Wikipedia. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Dubhessa|Dubhessa]] ([[User talk:Dubhessa#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dubhessa|contribs]]) 10:37, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

== OTRS question ==

After a ticket has been satisfactorily handled - let's say for an image upload - and we receive the necessary release(s), and make note of it at the image page, shouldn't that ticket be closed? The reason I ask is because I'm seeing 45 pages of ''Open tickets/need to be answered'' when in Dashboard view, but after reviewing several in English, they've already been handled. Oh, and once a ticket has been closed, can we simply put the ticket # in search and find it again after it's closed?

== Dancing with the Stars Succession Box ==

Also, now that you penned me with notifications. Going back to creating all the boxes for the finalists on Dancing with the Stars. First place winners already have boxes for their success and it continues. However, what you did not notice was that only some runner ups and third place finishers had boxes. I said this several times these were all before my edits. If you would go back and check that was the case. Not even all the winners had boxes only some of them had them and some of them didn't. When I went back to edit I made sure that it was fair and evened things out. That not only some winners, runner ups and third placers got boxes but all finalists in the top 3 had boxes. Now the edits are staying the same I haven't reverted anything since that whole debacle and your last message on my talk page. I am considering taking your advice of making this into an article for discussion topic. I feel that we all need to debate this topic to come to a clear consensus.

I had blanked (ironically) that as it is not productive and we don't want such arguments to reach the newer users who we are going to guide with. This just show bad on us, experienced users. I will separate the message from tone. The tone is harsh, message is still acceptable. I will accept it and will learn, hope to be cut a little more slack and with time I'll improve.

::I don't know is it culture or whatsoever, in [[Singapore]], outrageous in Singapore English means a lot, it is just too harsh, it is the term where we used to refer to something exceedingly grave, balant and is not usually used. As an experienced user from 2007, I know the impact of CSD. My first article was on [[People's Park Centre]], which is clearly mid importance can see why there, I am slapped with an G11 within just 5 minutes of article creation just without sources. I had to contest the CSD and then bring the issue to the user talkpage. I personally experienced this and I am sure no one else needs to bear this. Also, it is our culture to make sure we defend ourselves, as our law minister (AG equivalent in US) put it "if there are any accusation, we need to clarify, make clear, we have to clear our name". This is our nation mantra and the reason I signed up for AFC as well as NPP is that this Singaporean side will be available to prevent balant rejections / G12.

However, in following the restoration protocol I am unable to find the required draft title (Eg. draft:title) in either the "red box" on the former sandbox page or on my talk page.

I spent several hours on this entry and would be disappointed to learn that it cannot be recovered. Please advise. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Theologicae|Theologicae]] ([[User talk:Theologicae#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Theologicae|contribs]]) 15:51, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

:I know it's not a head count, but 5:2 (not including yourself as nominator) is pretty strong opposition. Additionally, there were multiple sources given that ''do'' indicate that the name is used without allcaps (which contradicts all three "support" statements).

Some admins count one edit, others are more liberal with what substantial means. If it’s worth anything, I would have deleted it too. You kept the same meaning and ideas.

== [[Draft:Paul Kenny (entrepeneur)]] content and deletion ==

Hello Primefac,

I am new to Wikipedia. You flagged a 'copyright violation' on a biography i submitted for Irish entrepreneur, Paul Kenny. You mentioned it was taken from 'Naseba'; this content on his biography is all over the internet and his biography in many other event websites where he has spoken. The whole page seems that I wrote seems to have been deleted now. Can you please explain if I can get this page back? I am happy to delete what you don't want, it's just for sure there is no copyright infringement in anything I submitted. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Dubhessa|Dubhessa]] ([[User talk:Dubhessa#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dubhessa|contribs]]) 20:29, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
:{{bcc|Dubhessa}}Well, first off, simply because other sites might have stolen from Naseba doesn't mean that Wikipedia will do the same. Second, content on their website is {{tq| © 2018 Naseba}}, which means we cannot use it on Wikipedia. Third, since the content was taken entirely from other sources, there is little point in me returning the text; you will be better off simply starting over and writing everything in your own words - the other option would be to convince Naseba to donate the text (see [[WP:DONATETEXT]]) for Wikipedia to use. Either way, I'm willing to list the references so you don't have to find/format them again.
:Finally, if you [[Special:Diff/840894611|work for Kenny]] you will need to disclose this fact on your userpage (see [[WP:PSCOI]]) if you wish to continue writing about him. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac#top|talk]]) 20:53, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Primefac,

As I wrote, I am completely new to Wikipedia and to be honest have struggled to navigate the site and understand the processes so thank you for being patient. I understand that Wikipedia does not use copyrighted information, and I was never suggesting that they should as Naseba's content is in other sites online, my point is that the content on Naseba is simply Paul Kenny's biography that is used everywhere, on AYM's website, on any event he takes part in. I do work with Paul Kenny and wrote his biography that is on the Naseba site and many others. I work with the company he is MD for, AYM and I arrange his participation in numerous events. I was not in any way trying to hide this, I simply wanted to get his biography on Wikipedia as his partner James Whelton is listed on Wikipedia and as he has won a number of prestigious awards and has many accomplishments we felt justified in submitting his biography on here. I will use the link you have shared to disclose I work for the same company as him. There was no untoward intention on my part for submitting this biography. Can you advise what the best course of action for me is now in getting this listed on Wikipedia? As I have written, the biography on Naseba is in my own words! I submitted this to Naseba when Paul spoke on their panel last year; it's just his standard biography we use for every event except what I wrote for Wikipedia was updated to include that most recent award 'Arabian Business Mentor of the Year' award and his work with the Global Student Entrepreneur awards. looking forward to hearing from you and thank you again for patience, as I am very new to writing on Wikipedia. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Dubhessa|Dubhessa]] ([[User talk:Dubhessa#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dubhessa|contribs]]) 10:37, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

:{{bcc|Dubhessa}}Because Naseba has copyrighted the content on their site, we simply cannot use that text verbatim on ours. There is no problem with you writing an article on Kenny (provided that he does indeed meet our [[WP:42|inclusion criteria]] and you [[WP:PSCOI|disclose your affiliation]]), but you'll have to do so from scratch.

Hi Primefac, if I ask Naseba to remove the biography on their site, will this be okay to then have the article I wrote approved for use on Wikipedia? To re-iterate I will follow the disclosure that I work for the same company as him and the inclusion thing you have mentioned again.

:Hi [[User:Dubhessa|Dubhessa]]. I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. Since the work has been previously published elsewhere, that means that the material is copyright and we can't use it here until such time as it's released under a compatible license. Removing the content from the source website doesn't change its copyright status! It enjoys permanent copyright protection as soon as it's published.{{pb}}In order to protect the rights of copyright holders, we have in place what we call the OTRS ticket system, whereby copyright holders can provide proof via email that they are the copyright holder. In the email you would also specify which license you wish to use. There's a list of compatible licenses [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright#Can I add something to Wikipedia that I got from somewhere else?|here]] and a sample permission email [[WP:consent|here]] and detailed instructions [[WP:Donating copyrighted materials|here]]. Sorry it's all so complicated but these are legal requirements that keep us in compliance with the policies of this website and copyright law.

:To repeat my two main points: (1) You can't copy the prose, even if you wrote it, unless you follow the procedure at [[WP:Donating copyright materials]]. (2) Quotations or paraphrased content from the person's own website does not improve the chances of the draft being accepted, as it does nothing to establish [[WP:notability|notability]], which is a very common reason for drafts being declined and articles being deleted.

== OTRS question ==

After a ticket has been satisfactorily handled - let's say for an image upload - and we receive the necessary release(s), and make note of it at the image page, shouldn't that ticket be closed? The reason I ask is because I'm seeing 45 pages of ''Open tickets/need to be answered'' when in Dashboard view, but after reviewing several in English, they've already been handled. Oh, and once a ticket has been closed, can we simply put the ticket # in search and find it again after it's closed? (Sorry for the newbie questions, but I just want to make sure I've got protocol down pat). [[User:Atsme|Atsme]][[User talk:Atsme |📞]][[Special:EmailUser/Atsme|📧]] 15:08, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
:If a ticket has been handled (let's say with the proper release) the customer should be notified with a boilerplate and/or custom response as appropriate. There's a ticket # search so if you know the number it will take you straight to the ticket (generic search is only "good" if you don't have the ticket # itself).

== Dancing with the Stars Succession Box ==

Also, now that you penned me with notifications. Going back to creating all the boxes for the finalists on Dancing with the Stars. First place winners already have boxes for their success and it continues. However, what you did not notice was that only some runner ups and third place finishers had boxes. I said this several times these were all before my edits. If you would go back and check that was the case. Not even all the winners had boxes only some of them had them and some of them didn't. When I went back to edit I made sure that it was fair and evened things out. That not only some winners, runner ups and third placers got boxes but all finalists in the top 3 had boxes. Now the edits are staying the same I haven't reverted anything since that whole debacle and your last message on my talk page. I am considering taking your advice of making this into an article for discussion topic. I feel that we all need to debate this topic to come to a clear consensus.

Hi Primefac, notwitstanding what kind of allegations I am faced with, I hope that there are no hard feelings between us. The accusation is moderately high and I am hurt from it.

I had blanked (ironically) that as it is not productive and we don't want such arguments to reach the newer users who we are going to guide with. This just show bad on us, experienced users.

::I don't know is it culture or whatsoever, in [[Singapore]], outrageous in Singapore English means a lot, it is just too harsh, it is the term where we used to refer to something exceedingly grave, balant and is not usually used. As an experienced user from 2007, I know the impact of CSD. My first article was on [[People's Park Centre]], which is clearly mid importance can see why there, I am slapped with an G11 within just 5 minutes of article creation just without sources. I had to contest the CSD and then bring the issue to the user talkpage. I personally experienced this and I am sure no one else needs to bear this. Also, it is our culture to make sure we defend ourselves, as our law minister (AG equivalent in US) put it "if there are any accusation, we need to clarify, make clear, we have to clear our name". This is our nation mantra and the reason I signed up for AFC as well as NPP is that this Singaporean side will be available to prevent balant rejections / G12.

== PrimeBOT job ==

Hey, Primefac. Got a job for PrimeBOT, think you could help me out? http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/ has been a massive resource for the Television WikiProject, but now that it's gone offline, this leaves a lot of dead links to the site, especially for supporting home media release dates. Could PrimeBOT automatically mark such usages as dead links and add the correct archive? Thanks! -- '''[[User:AlexTheWhovian|Alex]]'''''[[User talk:AlexTheWhovian#top|TW]]'' 09:23, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

== Restoration of Draft ==

You apparently deleted a draft in my sandbox (User:Theologicae/sandbox) on 21 May, 2018. I would like to have this draft restored. However, in following the restoration protocol I am unable to find the required draft title (Eg. draft:title) in either the "red box" on the former sandbox page or on my talk page.

Hello Primefac,

I am new to Wikipedia. You flagged a 'copyright violation' on a biography i submitted for Irish entrepreneur, Paul Kenny. You mentioned it was taken from 'Naseba'; this content on his biography is all over the internet and his biography in many other event websites where he has spoken. The whole page seems that I wrote seems to have been deleted now. Can you please explain if I can get this page back? I am happy to delete what you don't want, it's just for sure there is no copyright infringement in anything I submitted. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Dubhessa|Dubhessa]] ([[User talk:Dubhessa#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dubhessa|contribs]]) 20:29, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
:{{bcc|Dubhessa}}Well, first off, simply because other sites might have stolen from Naseba doesn't mean that Wikipedia will do the same. Second, content on their website is {{tq| © 2018 Naseba}}, which means we cannot use it on Wikipedia. Third, since the content was taken entirely from other sources, there is little point in me returning the text; you will be better off simply starting over and writing everything in your own words - the other option would be to convince Naseba to donate the text (see [[WP:DONATETEXT]]) for Wikipedia to use. Either way, I'm willing to list the references so you don't have to find/format them again.
:Finally, if you [[Special:Diff/840894611|work for Kenny]] you will need to disclose this fact on your userpage (see [[WP:PSCOI]]) if you wish to continue writing about him. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac#top|talk]]) 20:53, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Primefac,

As I wrote, I am completely new to Wikipedia and to be honest have struggled to navigate the site and understand the processes so thank you for being patient. I understand that Wikipedia does not use copyrighted information, and I was never suggesting that they should as Naseba's content is in other sites online, my point is that the content on Naseba is simply Paul Kenny's biography that is used everywhere, on AYM's website, on any event he takes part in. I do work with Paul Kenny and wrote his biography that is on the Naseba site and many others. I work with the company he is MD for, AYM and I arrange his participation in numerous events. I was not in any way trying to hide this, I simply wanted to get his biography on Wikipedia as his partner James Whelton is listed on Wikipedia and as he has won a number of prestigious awards and has many accomplishments we felt justified in submitting his biography on here. I will use the link you have shared to disclose I work for the same company as him. There was no untoward intention on my part for submitting this biography. Can you advise what the best course of action for me is now in getting this listed on Wikipedia? As I have written, the biography on Naseba is in my own words! I submitted this to Naseba when Paul spoke on their panel last year; it's just his standard biography we use for every event except what I wrote for Wikipedia was updated to include that most recent award 'Arabian Business Mentor of the Year' award and his work with the Global Student Entrepreneur awards. looking forward to hearing from you and thank you again for patience, as I am very new to writing on Wikipedia. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Dubhessa|Dubhessa]] ([[User talk:Dubhessa#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dubhessa|contribs]]) 10:37, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

There is no problem with you writing an article on Kenny (provided that he does indeed meet our [[WP:42|inclusion criteria]] and you [[WP:PSCOI|disclose your affiliation]]), but you'll have to do so from scratch.

Hi Primefac, if I ask Naseba to remove the biography on their site, will this be okay to then have the article I wrote approved for use on Wikipedia?

:To repeat my two main points: (1) You can't copy the prose, even if you wrote it, unless you follow the procedure at [[WP:Donating copyright materials]]. (2) Quotations or paraphrased content from the person's own website does not improve the chances of the draft being accepted, as it does nothing to establish [[WP:notability|notability]], which is a very common reason for drafts being declined and articles being deleted.

== OTRS question ==

After a ticket has been satisfactorily handled - let's say for an image upload - and we receive the necessary release(s), and make note of it at the image page, shouldn't that ticket be closed? The reason I ask is because I'm seeing 45 pages of ''Open tickets/need to be answered'' when in Dashboard view, but after reviewing several in English, they've already been handled. Oh, and once a ticket has been closed, can we simply put the ticket # in search and find it again after it's closed? (Sorry for the newbie questions, but I just want to make sure I've got protocol down pat). [[User:Atsme|Atsme]][[User talk:Atsme |📞]][[Special:EmailUser/Atsme|📧]] 15:08, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
:If a ticket has been handled (let's say with the proper release) the customer should be notified with a boilerplate and/or custom response as appropriate. There's a ticket # search so if you know the number it will take you straight to the ticket (generic search is only "good" if you don't have the ticket # itself).

== Dancing with the Stars Succession Box ==

Also, now that you penned me with notifications. Going back to creating all the boxes for the finalists on Dancing with the Stars. First place winners already have boxes for their success and it continues. However, what you did not notice was that only some runner ups and third place finishers had boxes. I said this several times these were all before my edits. If you would go back and check that was the case. Not even all the winners had boxes only some of them had them and some of them didn't. When I went back to edit I made sure that it was fair and evened things out. That not only some winners, runner ups and third placers got boxes but all finalists in the top 3 had boxes. Now the edits are staying the same I haven't reverted anything since that whole debacle and your last message on my talk page. I am considering taking your advice of making this into an article for discussion topic. I feel that we all need to debate this topic to come to a clear consensus.

Hi Primefac, notwitstanding what kind of allegations I am faced with, I hope that there are no hard feelings between us. The accusation is moderately high and I am hurt from it.

I had blanked (ironically) that as it is not productive and we don't want such arguments to reach the newer users who we are going to guide with. This just show bad on us, experienced users.

::I don't know is it culture or whatsoever, in [[Singapore]], outrageous in Singapore English means a lot, it is just too harsh, it is the term where we used to refer to something exceedingly grave, balant and is not usually used. As an experienced user from 2007, I know the impact of CSD. My first article was on [[People's Park Centre]], which is clearly mid importance can see why there, I am slapped with an G11 within just 5 minutes of article creation just without sources. I had to contest the CSD and then bring the issue to the user talkpage. I personally experienced this and I am sure no one else needs to bear this. Also, it is our culture to make sure we defend ourselves, as our law minister (AG equivalent in US) put it "if there are any accusation, we need to clarify, make clear, we have to clear our name". This is our nation mantra and the reason I signed up for AFC as well as NPP is that this Singaporean side will be available to prevent balant rejections / G12.

== Restoration of Draft ==

You apparently deleted a draft in my sandbox (User:Theologicae/sandbox) on 21 May, 2018. I would like to have this draft restored. However, in following the restoration protocol I am unable to find the required draft title (Eg. draft:title) in either the "red box" on the former sandbox page or on my talk page.

:I know it's not a head count, but 5:2 (not including yourself as nominator) is pretty strong opposition. Additionally, there were multiple sources given that ''do'' indicate that the name is used without allcaps (which contradicts all three "support" statements).
