:Hi {{reply|Kemmiiii}} thanks for reaching out. I took a quick look at this article and noticed some concerns. IMDB, and movie/TV trailers on YouTube are not [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] per Wikipedia guidelines. These will need to removed, as well as the information that the source was verifying. Typically, three reliable sources are needed to show the person is [[WP:N|notable]]. These sources need to prominently feature or talk about the person in the text; passing mentions are not notable enough. You can find a list of assessed sources at [[WP:RS/P]]. Let me know if you have any other questions. [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] ([[User talk:Z1720#top|talk]]) 15:12, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you

I just like to say thank you for your imput on MSW talk page, which has been very helpful. But its becoming clear that certain users are making up things are there go along in relation to make improvements to said page. I just can't see the point in trying again and again etc to get this page improved if I'm only going to get stupid replys why changes can't be done. It really should just be deleted. --Crazyseiko (talk) 18:29, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Crazyseiko: I am not ready to give up on the article. I think there are a lot of great editors who just want what is best for it. I don't agree with the assessment that some editors want things to stay the same. I think the disagreement is in how much information should be included and how it should be formatted. I understand if you want to take some time away from the article but I also encourage you to keep making constructive comments and giving constructive opinions to help this article move forward. Let me know if you need anything else. Z1720 (talk) 22:10, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Canada's Worst Driver 14

Hello!

Unfortunately, CWD14 has not aired yet, and the fact that Wikipedia is NOT a Crystal Ball, makes CWD14 NOT notable as of yet.

Please wait until this season becomes notable BEFORE releasing the episode.

I have hidden the code and turned the Canada's Worst Driver 14 page to a RE-DIRECT for now. If you need access, see the UNREDIRECTED LINK. Thanks!

Ways to improve Canada's Worst Driver 14

Thanks for creating Canada's Worst Driver 14.

A New Page Patroller Rosguill just tagged the page as having some issues to fix, and wrote this note for you:

This article should include more citations to independent, reliable, WP:SECONDARY sources to establish its notability. Additionally, it should include more content about the season's production and reception, and not just plot summaries.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can reply over here and ping me. Or, for broader editing help, you can talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

FYI and thank you

Thank you for thought-provoking and well-reasoned comments on the Just Peck AfD. I've discussed that AfD along with a couple of others in an essay I've just posted here. I've quoted a few lines from your AfD comment in the essay, because I thought they were well-written and expressed an important perspective. I deliberately didn't mention your username as I didn't know if you'd want me to, but if you do I'll be glad to add it. In any case, I'd welcome any comments you might have, on the essay talkpage. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 01:38, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Newyorkbrad: Hi NYB Thank you for your message. I was worried my comment would be too long for anyone to read! I skimmed through the essay, but I'm excited to read it tomorrow when I can give a closer analysis and ponder on it. Also, yes I give permission to have my quote attributed to my username. Hopefully, we continue having these conversations to strengthen the project. Z1720 (talk) 03:48, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination for deletion Alexsander_Iakobachvili article

Thank you for the additions and references for the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexsander_Iakobachvili. But I can’t agree with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Scope_creep for Nomination for deletion of the page. First of all, I did some changes to the article, secondary – the main reason for deletion is that Iakobachvili is not a notable businessman – it’s true, but the uniqueness of his bio is that he was a gifted scientist, the first real Georgian candidate in the cosmonauts, and only the disintegration of the USSR broke down these plans. Despite this career failure Dr Iakobachvili didn’t give up and started a successful business career even if other country – United Kingdom. I will do my best to improve the article Dr. Teimuraz Kancheli 20:45, 2 September 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Temur (talkcontribs) [reply]

@Temur: Hi Temur, I didn't vote in this discussion, nor have I developed an opinion on whether it should be kept or deleted. If you think the article should be kept, I suggest going to its AfD discussion and list sources that prove the person is WP:Notable. If your arguments are persuasive, it will convince others to also say it should be kept. Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 22:24, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Questions related to article edits

Hi, thank you for your help with the M. David Rudd article. I'm a new user and very overwhelmed with the process. Before starting, I did a very comprehensive review of other university presidents to make sure this article was in line with others. The information provided was very relevant to the work he has done and accomplishments, both in his personal research and professional career. Other articles I modeled after included:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Gutmann https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_L._Fenves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Ann_Jackson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_L._Hennessy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McRobbie

The last edit I made on 11/24 was more paired down than the initial article and removed some information that wasn't of importance. The information added back was relevant though. Is there someway to find a middle ground to include some of it, seeing as how it is similar to other articles and does showcase his accomplishments? There is a wide mix of sources as well. If there are any particular sources you're concerned about I'm sure I can find the information in a different place. Much of it was on other news sources, but many are behind a login so I thought the initial release would be better. I appreciate any help you can offer! Hrowsey (talk) 22:43, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Hrowsey:, thanks for bringing your concerns to my talk page. I looked at the articles linked above and those articles do not reflect Wikipedia's best work. If I edited them I would remove lots of information for being promotional, too much detail or off-topic. Wikipedia's best work can be found at WP:FA. Although I could not find a featured article about a current university president, there are lots of biographies to read and get a sense of Wikipedia's best work (your edits don't have to be as good as theirs, but it's a great goal to aspire to.) You can also read MOS:BIO for our style guide for biographies.
As for the prose I removed from M. David Rudd, it was removed for one or more of the following reasons:
  1. It was promotional, which means it was not a neutral point of view, the achievements were not notable and/or the achievements were putting WP:UNDUE weight on his positive works.
  2. They were achievements of the university and the sources did not verify that Rudd was personally responsible. In other words, sources should prove that if Rudd was not the president these things would not have happened at the university. These achievements, if notable, are better placed in the university's article.
  3. They were unsourced. As this is a biography of a living person, we are extra strict on the information we add to the article. If the info is not verified by a source, it is deleted (this is especially true for prose about his family life.)
  4. The prose used a WP:PRIMARY source to verify the information. Although this is not expressively banned, a secondary source will document notable achievements. The university praising Rudd's work is not neutral and thus we are not likely to add it unless a secondary source also documents it.
I always make mistakes, and other editors might disagree with what I removed. If you think I removed anything that should be in the article please make another edit request and post it on the talk page. Instructions can be found at Template:Request edit/Instructions. I also suggest that this conversation be continued on Rudd's talk page so that other editors can see our conversation. If you have any other questions, please ask on the Rudd article or post them below. Happy editing! Z1720 (talk) 19:36, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question about declined edit request of page

Hi Z1720,

Thank you for your quick response regarding the Belkin company history factual information edit request. I and other users do not hit a paywall when visiting the LA Business Journal article citation currently cited and used on Wikipedia for establishing the founder information. Could you try visiting the page in an incognito window? This LA Business Journal article in fact does not list Steve Bellow as a founder in any way - nor are there any highly credible news / PR articles that list him as a founder either.

I've uploaded screenshots of the LA Business Journal article as well as a copy of the public notice of the official corporation filing back in 1983 that was printed in the Daily Breeze which can be found here: (Redacted)

Additional citations establishing Chet Pipkin as the only founder and not listing Steve Bellow in that capacity can be found here:

- Note: Steve Bellow lists himself as a part of Belkin since 'near inception' on his own professional history outline on his Company's website, and not as a founder, found here: http://www.thebellowgroup.com/team.html

Let me know what ways we can best remedy this situation, as the information that Steve Bellow is a founder is in fact unfactual. 208.185.216.4 (talk) 18:45, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question About Recent Edits Made

Hi Z1720,

I hope you are doing well. I wanted to inquire about the possibility of reinstating some of the content that was recently removed/edited from the Ray Jefferson article. I understand your position about consolidating content and citations for accuracy, but was wondering if the content that was in place could be reinstated with the following changes:

1. New citations (as requested) 2. Updating any items that seem biased towards the subject of the article so the tone better fits the standards of Wikipedia

I'm happy to help in this process and appreciate your time.

Thank you.Tsmith47 (talk) 15:07, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Tsmith47:, thanks for posting on my talk page. Some information may be put back if there are reliable sources to verify the information. Other information was removed because it was not notable (like the sentence that his work was covered by Forbes) or it put undue weight on aspects of his life (like the amount of detail in the investigation into his time in the Department of Labor). I suggest using the request edit template to suggest prose to be added or changed. Please post below if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 15:48, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking that may be the reason why the content was heavily edited. I'm happy to provide revisions with more suitable citations on the talk page of his article. Thank you for sharing this information with me.Tsmith47 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:33, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please be more careful...

A robot gave me a heads-up about this edit.

If you look at the diff it is unclear what exactly you changed, because your edit is so extensive. Multiple whole paragraphs are moved, and the diff engine can't recognize whether you cut and paste them, or whether you made changes to the blocks of text you moved.

In future, please don't make huge edits like this, which will confuse the diff engine. Instead, make a series of smaller edits.

Thanks. Geo Swan (talk) 10:12, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Geo Swan: thanks for your comments. I am very sorry but I'm struggling to understand the concern. I see that the edit diff has large blocks of text, but I think that's because I added headings, not because I moved paragraphs. Although it looks like a lot of change, I think the diff machine is not built to understand the addition of headings and so marks large blocks of text. I also moved some paragraphs because they were not in chronological order. It is difficult to do these edits in small batches when the timeline is all over the place. I don't like making small changes because it makes it harder for editors to undo my work if they have to press undo on 5-7 edits. I also don't know of any guidelines or essays that address this concern, but if you do please post them below so I can review them and improve my editing. Although a robot struggled to understand, I hope editors will be able to understand the edits more effectively.
In the future, I will try to separate my "formatting" and "adding text" edits to make them easier to understand. Let me know if you have any concerns or questions. Z1720 (talk) 16:03, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

COI Editor - Requesting Assistance with Two Pages

Hello User:Z1720

Thank you for confirming the completion of edits I requested on the Jeffrey Sachs page.

I see you help COI editors, and I'm wondering if you might help me with edits to the Rajiv Shah and Rockefeller Foundation (to come) pages? On Dec 12, I posted some requests to Rajiv's page and I was wondering if you could be so kind as to review those to see if they can be put through? They are all formatted for inclusion. I had reached out to another volunteer who said they would assist me if they had time, but it looks like they have been too busy. One source is a primary source so I would love to get your input on that. It is the one from an interview for a Concordia conference. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you might provide. I thank you in advance for your consideration. Best LeepKendall (talk) 19:02, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @LeepKendall: I have seen your request for Rajiv Shah in the queue. In the interest of fairness, I am completing older requests first.

relative to the entry of pichenotte

Hello, As a French Canadian I am very familiar with the subject and the word 'pichenotte' and how it is used and it is obvious to millions of my friends that the narrow point of view currently given on Wikipedia is incorrect. Why would WIkiipedia editors not want a broader, inclusive and more correct article ? Unfortunately there are not any book sources that I am aware of, but the Quebec Museum is a reliable source and the Tavistock Gazette, and web sources about the game, all agree with me. I make a few boards every year,so yes, I have a conflict of interest, which I have stated in my profile. I am trying to do so in the most neutral way possible,

DVQuebec (talk) 06:22, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Hello Z1720 - the current article about pichenotte quotes NO SOURCES ! NO CITATIONS, and seems to make no sense to millions of us French Canadians, so how can it stand as is ? I have given many sources and citations, that support my statements. Certainly better than none, don't you agree ? If there is a current manufacturer of the square board, who are they ? Many manufacturers exist of round and rectangular boards. Thank you


DVQuebec (talk) 06:38, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @DVQuebec: One of Wikipedia's policies is that information is verified. Editors have the burden to produce reliable sources that show that the information is not just "made up." I want a better article, but posting information from unreliable sources does not necessarily make the article better.
The Quebec Museum might be a reliable source, but some of the links that were posted were for the homepage of their website so I could not verify the information. Please post the exact url that you are citing so that it can be assessed. The information should be authored by someone who is an authority on pichenotte, not just a random staff member. As for Tavistock Gazette, I would need to take a look at the site to determine if it is reliable.
Book sources are not the only reliable sources. Scholarly articles, reputable newspapers, and academic journals are all considered reliable. I use the Wikipedia Library, my local library's website, and scholar.google.com to find new sources. The sources can also be in any language, including French.
As for the text currently in the article: if there is information that is incorrect and needs to be removed, please post it on the talk page. An editor will assess if the information needs to be removed.
Please post below or use the help desk if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 14:43, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thank you Z1720 for your comments...and yes, I would like your help to improve the article. How should we proceed to improve it ? I have no qualms about the game once being a square game. But the word pichenotte encompasses a lot more in the life of the French Canadian people. It refers to many different flicking games. I am new at this, so some of my links or citations may be weak. However, if you be so kind as to click on many of the links I have provided, you will see that many of them support the fact that pichenotte means almost any disk flicking game you can imagine, and it means even more than that. The specific URL of the Quebec Museum de la Civilisation that shows a round pichenotte game board is https://collections.mcq.org/objets/76963 . I thought I had included that in my proposed article, but perhaps I did not. As the Canadian historian and author Wayne Kelly, who I quote quite often had found out after 30 years of research about the game of crokinole, in his book, The Crokinole Book, he says over and over again that there is almost nothing written about the histories of either game, crokinole or pichenotte before 1987 when he began his research. There are no 'experts' on the game or the history of pichenotte. Pichenotte is a generic term meaning flick. It is not a patented game. The man in the Quebec Museum is the head of the Collection and not just a staff member. As you noted, I also quote from the wThe Tavistock Gazette is a long established newspaper in the town that many say is perhaps the birthplace of the game of crokinole, so if anyone is going to deny that pichenotte is a round game, it is Bill Gladding of the Tavistock Gazette ! But he agrees with me that the word pichenotte also refers to the game the Ontario residents know as crokinole. Also on the www.pitchnut.com site, the man who has roots in Quebec also states plainly on his history page that residents of French Canada who play his game of pitchnut, also refer to crokinole as pichenotte. Pichenotte being a unique Canadian word, based on the French word 'pichenette'. Thanks for your offer to help. I think this is a good discussion and look forward to a more accurate article.

Hi @DVQuebec: I suggest reading WP:RS to gain an understanding of what Wikipedia says are reliable sources. It is unfortunate that historians have not focused on this game in their research, but that does not mean that we can use unreliable sources to support the text. Instead, it means editors should use the reliable source we can find to build the article, and perhaps have a shorter article until more research is published.
The biggest problem with the edit request was the formatting. It was too difficult to figure out what was supposed to be added to the article and where the text's information came from. Wikipedia has a Manual of Style to bring some consistency to our articles; reading that might help format your request. Specifically, references should be linked to a specific website page or book page number in the footnotes. To understand how to reference in Wikipedia's style, please read Wikipedia:Inline citation and look at the coding in other Wikipedia pages, specifically in featured articles. I also suggest that you do some test edits in your sandbox.
Wayne Kelly's book might be a reliable source, so that might be a great starting point. I also found this book that references pichenotte, and found some references on scholar.google.com. You can also use the databases from the Wikipedia Library or your own local library system to find sources.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or you want me to look at edits in your sandbox and give some suggestions. You can also ask your questions or get advise at the help desk. Z1720 (talk) 16:20, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Confirming no conflict of interest

As stated on the Sheppard band page, I have no conflict of interest. I am not friends with the band or related to the band, do not work for the band and have never worked for the band, and I have not been paid to make these changes. I am simply a fan of the band and an avid follower of the Australia music industry. You will see the content I removed in relation to Greg Sheppard had been done so years previously (please see the talk page), where it was agreed the addition of that information was irrelevant and arguably against Wikipedia rules. It was removed then and I am simply removing again now. Tennineeighttwo (talk) 02:15, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Tennineeighttwo:, thanks for letting me know that you do not have a conflict of interest. I want to let you know about the three revert rule. It says An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. I see that you have reverted edits twice today. I strongly recommend that you do not revert or edit the article again, even if you think you are "correct". Instead, engage talk page discussion or, if that does not resolve the issue, you can engage in dispute resolution. Please let me know if you have any questions or post at WP:HELPDESK.

Deletion of Erica Nlewedim

Hello Z1720, thank you for all the work you do at wiki. I noted that you voted to delete the page Erica Nlewedim last year because she did not meet the notability criteria. I have however updated the page in light of recent events and will appreciate your review of the page for possible publishing. Thank you --Kemmiiii (talk) 02:08, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Kemmiiii: thanks for reaching out. I took a quick look at this article and noticed some concerns. IMDB, and movie/TV trailers on YouTube are not reliable sources per Wikipedia guidelines. These will need to removed, as well as the information that the source was verifying. Typically, three reliable sources are needed to show the person is notable. These sources need to prominently feature or talk about the person in the text; passing mentions are not notable enough. You can find a list of assessed sources at WP:RS/P. Let me know if you have any other questions. Z1720 (talk) 15:12, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
