Proposed deletion of Melissa Chiu

The article Melissa Chiu has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 17:00, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This makes no sense-- she is major cultural figure.

Hello, Bgenocchio. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Benjamin Genocchio, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. This means that you are strongly advised not to edit the article directly; you are of course welcome at any time to propose improvements on the talkpage of the article.

Your edits to Melissa Chiu

Please do not delete well sourced, relevant content as you have done here. Bangabandhu (talk) 13:57, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Melissa Chiu

I am responding only to your edits which are not neutral. You are deleting well sourced relevant content about a public institution put here by a third party-- look at the records. You are repeatedly inserting content into a post that 1. is clearly opinion based commentary and not neutral facts and 2. is not balanced with other sources that contradict information you have cited. Please stop this. Now you are trying to block users from editing.

September 2015

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for sock puppetry. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Bgenocchio (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

There is information published on this entry that is false and misleading. individuals are welcome to edit Wikipedia but not to introduce information that is not balanced. In order to try to stop proper sourcing and a blanked approach with neutral facts individuals have attempted to block legitimate edits. Neutral facts have been removed as well as sources which provide balance. Providing balance and multiple sources of information is the essence of the wikipedia project but right now individuals are seeking to control this. i have one wikipedia account under my own name, no more. i dont use anonymous accounts so my edits are visible and transparent. blocking me is censorship

Decline reason:

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Bgenocchio (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am related to the subject of the entry. I have not sought to hide that and it is not against wikipedia rules. What is against wikipedia rules is publishing false and misleading statements and this entry contains them. I am astonished that nobody who cares about wikipedia has looked at the revision history, citations and statements. Beginning 6 weeks ago an individual inserted statements and has systematically removed all attempts by ever other user to add balance, citations and to correct errors of fact. Do you honestly believe that every other person that has tried to improve this entry has a COI? Why for instance would anyone remove 4 New York Times references? Why would anyone remove well sourced content that contradicts opinion-based statements? The whole point of wikipedia is to provide balance. We are talking about a federal government institution. I am sorry if different people have used the same IP address to try to correct false statements. But what else can you do when somebody keeps blocking any and all attempts to make revisions. A written complaint was also made to Wikipedia management. I have no interest in editing this or other entries. I am done. I use my own name, i don't hide it. I only got involved because of what was clearly an attempt to pervert this entry and every time i tried to inert a link or information it was blocked and removed and the individual resinserted his own version. If anyone really, seriously believes wikipedia is about neutral facts and not the opinions of one person then you need to look at the facts and make an impartial determination or begin allowing other people who care to make changes-- this entry cannot be the property of one person. It is a mockery of the whole enterprise.Bgenocchio (talk) 23:42, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Since you state "I have no interest in editing this or other entries. I am done," there is no reason to unblock this account. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:41, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are aware of this, I assume? I will also note that Wikipedia is manned almost entirely by volunteers, not paid staff. (Employees have a "(WMF)" appended to their names, and very rarely edit with their employee accounts.) —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 10:49, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock | reason=Dear Wikipedia editors. One month ago a user with the username Bangabandhu began editing the wikpiedia entry of my wife, melissa chiu, adding entirely negative commentary. i sought to try to balance that commentary and i was systematically blocked form doing so by this individual and another one with the username Justlettersandnumber. they claimed a conflict of interest. okay, thats fine. we complained to wikpiedia about their behavior. Now i see, as of a week ago, the same two individuals have started to edit my own personal wikipedia page no doubt as a form of retribution. i don't mind people editing the page, but in this case they have added factorial errors. here is the log record from my personal wikipedia page: (cur | prev) 14:22, 6 September 2015‎ Bangabandhu (talk | contribs)‎ . .

In this case you have a clear published statement that is being overridden for personal interests and a claim that is clearly negative added to an entry. i would request please that all recent changes by these two unscrupulous wikipedia entries be removed form my account and they be blocked form editing my or melissa chi's account going forward. surrey wikipedia isn to to be used for personal vendettas against an individual or family. i invite you to review the records of both accounts[[User:Bgenocchio|Bgenocchio]] ([[User talk:Bgenocchio#top|talk]]) 01:47, 17 September 2015 (UTC)}}

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Dear Wikipedia editors Here below is the published record from the article that is being cited negatively in my wikipedia entry by two individuals that have sought to negatively edit my account and that of my wife. we have complained about them and they are now editing my account, as of a week ago. they have added an entry into my personal wikipedia account that is factually misleading and actually false. it states a former employer claims i was fired. That is fine, but if you read the link that they cite, the report states clearly that i provided evidence of the contrary, a letter of resignation circulated to staff as the report states--as a published fact. How then or why would somebody want to call this into question or put a contrary spin on this?

"Blouin, at first, was diplomatic regarding Genocchio’s upstart operation, passing along a, “All I can say to him is the best of luck.” But in the next breath she added, “Benjamin was fired. You want it. You got it.” There appears to be no love lost, here. “With any luck we will drive Louise out of business,” Genocchio said. When told that Blouin had said he was fired, he insisted that was wrong and produced a copy of his Dec. 12 resignation letter that circulated to staff."

I am requesting that somebody read the source cited, review the statement, and that this and other inaccurate or negative edits by the two individuals be reviewed and or removed. i cannot edit this myself otherwise i will be accused of a conflict of interest.

There is a conflict of interest, but you aren't prohibited from editing. It appears that it may be there legitimately, to me it seems like WP:LUC is coming into play here. It's a good idea to discuss it on the articles talk page for someone to take a look at it though. If you need anything else please {{ping|Kethrus}} as I am not watching this page. --I am Kethrus ^{Talk to me!} 03:01, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Bgenocchio! I see that you have mentioned me above, in less than complimentary terms. Please be careful to avoid personal attacks, even if you are angry or upset. If you mention another editor, it's usually good manners send that person a notification; you can do this by writing either {{ping|Editor name}} or {{u|Editor name}}.

Please raise your concerns about the articles on yourself and on your wife on the respective talk pages of those articles. We have strict rules about what can and can not be written about living people, and any inappropriate content is likely to be removed promptly. If you still feel that your concerns have not been addressed, please ask for help at the biographies of living persons noticeboard. We take this seriously, your request will not be ignored. On the other hand, you may not get the answer you wish for; the subject of a biography here can expect (and demand) immediate removal of unreferenced negative material; negative material supported by reliable sources may be retained.

I actually came here to say something else: you were accused of abusing multiple accounts. If, as seems to me possible, the account 1artlovernewyork actually belongs to someone else who shares your IP, you could say so here. I'm guessing, but I imagine that confirmation from that other person might also be needed. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 07:57, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bgenocchio, because of the concerns about my edits that you have expressed above, I have asked for comment at WP:COIN. The thread is Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Benjamin Genocchio. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:35, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drmies (talk) 16:29, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are misusing the unblock template. The unblock template is not intended as a platform for suggesting sanctions against other editors of for suggesting content changes. ~~Either come up with a valid reason why you should be unblocked, or feel free to WP:DISAPPEAR.~~ OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:42, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Attack on Bgenocchio

Good luck with all of this but stay calm. Those who worship at the alter of Wikipedia believe they are always right and they will attack you whenever you fight back. It might be better to ignore them for a few weeks until they move on to their next crusade. In the mean time nobody will judge you by what they read on here. You are the person with the distinguished career and the public profile. They tend to be irrelevant except in "Wikipedia Land". You will eventually come out on top.
