Frank Fitzpatrick
Hey there. I noticed you put a paid edit as part of the issues on the Frank Fitzpatrick Article. I do not believe this is necessary now, given the Talk page now has the full and proper disclosure linking back to my Userpage, and that such declarations do not exist on other pages I have been paid for, such as Amit Sharma (director), Health Australia Party, and Autotrader.com. It'd be great to know what the difference is here, as I do not believe the article is written from an non-NPOV - like the others - although I would appreciate a second pair of eyes. Thanks. MrMarkBGregory (talk) 10:47, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- @MrMarkBGregory: Both templates are different. The article sounds promotional to me, and I feel a number of references are also not reliable. Pinging @Winged Blades of Godric and SamHolt6: who I believe have very good knowledge on paid editing. Thank you. GSS (talk|c|em) 11:01, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- Excellent, thank you. I'm very happy to discuss this issue further and remedy. Feel free to transfer this discussion to the article's talk page. MrMarkBGregory (talk) 11:19, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- @MrMarkBGregory:@GSS: I am inclined to maintain the template in question. The article has several issues with it that should be addressed. For one, the primary sources from Huffpost ([1], [2]) need to be replaced or the content they are supporting removed; the same goes for the PRWeb source and IMDB, as the former is unreliable and the latter's bio entry was written by one of Fitzpatrick's companies. Furthermore, some of the article's content seems to be somewhat superfluous namedropping—the single-sentence "early life" subheading and the first sentence under the "Songwriter and Music Producer" subheading are the worst culprits from what I can see. Lastly, a neutral editor should commence a cleanup of the article and search for more sources so that article provides neutral view of the subject; looking at the history of the article, every single major addition of content has been done by either an SPA or a paid editor, and as such the article may be unbalanced by virtue of purposely-excluded coverage; this last point is secondary to the previous points, but should still be entertained. Best.--SamHolt6 (talk) 15:10, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- @GSS and SamHolt6: Thanks for your honest and thorough feedback. Many of the concerns you have raised I had also raised with Fitzpatrick while we were working on the article; I had suggested a much cleaner version of the page which I may now revert back to. For the record, I have already been paid, so any further edits to make this article as reliable and useful as possible are done from my own desire to have a good quality article here, so I hope we can assume good faith from here on in that regard. I will address the issues raised above, and examine the sources once again to see if it can be further tidied. Thanks again. MrMarkBGregory (talk) 16:58, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Shaktimaan (TV Series) Moved back to Shaktimaan
Hello @GSS:, I made that move but I didn't mean to vandalize the article, all I was wanted that Shaktimaan deserves a separate article than just the TV show as other superheroes have their own individual fictional character article so I moved the original article to new page with redirect because I don't know how to move without leaving redirect. you did moved back but you didn't revert my edits so I did that now. Shaktimaan please check it's Biography section that was remained undone because I created a separate article for Fictional Biography of the character. -- MrZINE | talk 09:28, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Iamzine13: Thank you for undoing your edit. If you wish to create a separate page for the fictional character, please follow the article for creation process. The draft is located at Draft:Shaktimaan (fictional character). GSS (talk|c|em) 09:41, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Reversion of Article "SmartBuyGlasses Optical Group" to draft
Hello, GSS I am aware of the WP:3RR and I want to just clearly understand what's wrong with the article mentioned. You made the first reversion without any comment and on our discussion you only raised the issue about my disclosure of whether I had been compensated for the piece and I cleared the issue. The second reversion you just mentioned the draft is not ready and requested me to follow the AfC submission process. I just want to clearly understand what needs to be done or whats missing. --Mwangi2017 (talk) 15:34, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
New pages
Hello! I recently created a couple pages (Sabrina Kemeny, Paul Outlaw, and Nightfood). I was wondering if you could look them over and give me some feedback or pointers. I have a few more that I'm planning to write, but I want to make sure that I'm choosing notable enough subjects and I'm going in the right direction. Thanks a lot!

- @Syedishujaat: Do you know "Anadika Guleria Azaad" personally? Who asked you to create her page? This looks like undiclosed paid editing so please read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID and as previously advised, you must disclose who asked you to edit which pages. GSS (talk|c|em) 03:26, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Rose Funja
Hello GSS. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Rose Funja, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: not completely promotional (can be cleaned up without a substantial rewrite) / claims significance.

Please participate to the talk pages consultation
Hello
Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.
We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

NPR Newsletter No.17
Hello GSS,
- News
- The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.
- Discussions of interest
- Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
- {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
- A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
- There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.
- Reminders
- NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.
- NPP Tools Report
- Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
- copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
- The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

following up on your message
Hi GSS, I'm following up on the message you left on my talk page. Do you know what has become/will become of the article I wrote about Natalie Brown (Author)? As I stated, this wasn't a paid job for me. I am just a fan and was motivated to start a page about something I like. I'd be grateful for your follow-up and/or advice.

NPR Newsletter No.18
Hello GSS,
- WMF at work on NPP Improvements
Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
- Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
- Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.
- Reliable Sources for NPP
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
- Backlog drive coming soon
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.
- News
- Following a request for comment, the subject-specific notability guideline for pornographic actors and models (WP:PORNBIO) was removed; in its place, editors should consult WP:ENT and WP:GNG.
- Discussions of interest
- A request for bot approval for a bot to patrol two kinds of redirects
- There has been a lot discussion about Notability of Academics
- What, if anything, would a SNG for Softball look like

Edit on Rathish Ambat
Hello GSS, Today I found that the article Rathish Ambat has redirected to Kammara Sambhavam, according to WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE.
I created the article because I believe the article is eligible to be in Wikipedia according to clause 3 of WP:GNG, "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work." and he has got significant coverage in independent reliable sources according to WP:CREATIVE can be seen here.
I know the article was deleted once before for undisclosed paid editing, and I want to state that I am not associated or compensated by anyone for the edits. The image which was used in the article was a cropped version of a photo I shot myself. I would like to work on the article.
Please advise how to improve the article so that It can be published.
Svar012 (talk) 07:01, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Svar012: Per your comment above The image which was used in the article was a cropped version of a photo I shot myself you need to see WP:COIEDIT. If you believe the subject is notable enough for an entry in Wikipedia please create a draft article and submit it for a review. For more see WP:AfC. Thank you. GSS (talk|c|em) 07:34, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
Rathish Ambat
Hi, your bold redirect of the above article, which I agree with, has been challenged by another editor so the correct procedure is to take it to AFD rather than revert, regards Atlantic306 (talk)
- @Atlantic306: I have removed most of the unsourced material so please feel free to add back if you find any reliable source and I will wait for a few days to see any improvements if no then AfD. Thank you. GSS (talk|c|em) 16:02, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
Removal of information on citation backlog
Hey GSS, you recently made a major rollback to some content that I added to the citation backlog in the Graveyard Keeper article [3]. Following your edit, you made an edit to Operation Bluestar [4], another article that you joined after me. It appears as though you've taken a particular position on the rebel group in Operation Bluestar, and you found the Graveyard Keeper article through my user page or contribution history. I would like to inform you that while it's not entirely inappropriate to follow me into an unrelated article, you should be careful not to do anything that could be misconstrued as WP:HOUNDING. I'm only making a point to say this because of run-ins with another editor. Your edit seemed fairly innocent, besides, I am mostly avoiding all that political edit-war-prone nonsense at the moment.
I guess, having played Graveyard Keeper, I am aware that the the information you removed was accurate and covered by press. A quick Google search should confirm the Switch announcement, gameplay description, and the DLC description. Honestly, I should go in there and add the citations myself *shrug*.
Anyway, cheers. --Elephanthunter (talk) 21:12, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Elephanthunter: I am not hounding you. Operation Bluestar was in my watchlist and I found Graveyard Keeper after I saw an advertisement on Upwork.com, not from your contribution or userpage. GSS (talk|c|em) 01:02, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- Upwork doesn't have advertisements aside from the freelance work, and a search of Upwork did not reveal jobs for the video game Graveyard Keeper 🤨 I do not think you were trying to hound me. Your edit was to remove unsourced content, which seemed reasonable and in good faith. I'm just giving you a heads-up about Wikipedia rules. --Elephanthunter (talk) 03:45, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- Well I call them adverts. Anyways I have shared the details of that job post with a few admins and I hope they will investigate soon. I'm very much aware of rules and policies and I have no interest in hounding you and why I would? Just for your information, someone from the company was looking for freelancers to promote and update Graveyard Keeper and related pages. GSS (talk|c|em) 03:58, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

- Scandalous! Almost hard to believe. Could you share those details? I'll keep a lookout. Also, what admins should I message if I find more evidence? Since you're a vet and know the rules, you are aware there are tags and templates to warn people off, and a noticeboard for COI. Get the ball rolling! I thought for a minute that you made all this up just to cover yourself for innocently clicking a link on my user page (which wouldn't be a big deal), but it sounds like you are legitimately uncovering something big. I always knew the employees of Graveyard Keeper sought to undermine my work on the article, and now I may finally have proof! I guess it's a good thing we coincidentally stumbled across this pretty much entirely unrelated page. --Elephanthunter (talk) 01:51, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Over at the Teahouse we're having a bit of a 'spring clean' by removing old entries from the list of Hosts that new users see. As you don't appear to have been very active there for some time, your 'host profile' has been removed from the list.

Atlantis Group
Thank you for raising the inquiry regarding Sykes Capital being changed from Atlantis Group. I can confirm that I have no COI in this case. I just review Wikipedia articles for the sake of my local area, and Sykes Capital came up. Under Companies House UK, the company name officially changed from Atlantis to Sykes Capital.[1] This is the reason for me rewording the article so that his change is apparent. Perhaps you would suggest changes to the article so that it does sound like an advert or COI.WPContributor123 (talk) 14:42, 8 June 2019 (UTC)WPContributor123

Lucas Rockwood
Hi there,
Could you possibly explain why my edits were reverted on the Lucas Rockwood page? I do not see where there is potential COI and do not believe reverting those changes was necessary. I would like more details please. Thanks. --Semitdark (talk) 14:18, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Semitdark: Do you mind disclosing your relation with the subject? becasue as per my knowledge there was an advert on a freelancing website to update this page so, if you were paid to edit this page you need to disclose per WP:PAID. Also, your edits were not supported by reliable sources that required by WP:V. GSS (talk|c|em) 14:54, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- @GSS: I can absolutely guarantee I was not paid by the person for this page, there is nothing to disclose, do you need me to sign something somewhere to declare I was not paid to edit a Wikipedia article? I believe the ad must have been for the previous editor who created the page before I did edits.
I agree that some of my edits could have benefitted from reliable sources upon reflection, that is very true. Not sure however what is the purpose of reverting more "practical edits" such as the person's middle name and residency. Rather uncalled for. But I will proceed to seeking more reliable sources and editing the article better. Thank you for your concern. --Semitdark (talk) 15:17, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

I want to tell you that I have not take money in writing for writing articles. It could be that I made a mistake. I saw on youtube about Shoutmeloud. There it has been told that shoutmeloud is India's largest blog. That is why I had written an article. I have already written some articles that have been reviewed. I wrote that article to promote the bloggers of my country, if any mistake has happened to me, then understand your younger brother and forgive — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajeshkumar999 (talk • contribs) 10:28, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Paid editing
Hello. There is no such thing. Where did you come up with this idea? (Google Translate).--Samral (talk) 10:27, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Samral: As I said your edits give the impression that you have a conflict of interest when it comes to certain Wikipedia articles, especially Tarikh Aliyev (producer) so, do you know them personally? GSS (talk|c|em) 14:37, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Please undo page deletion
Hi GSS,
I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits. As far as I know there is no COI. As a Bangkokian techie with a knack for researching FinTech industries. A similar company wiki pages TrueMoney and Paysbuy, based in Bangkok inspired me to write about Everex.
I have not used any over-marketing terms in the content and have collected neutral media mentions. Kindly undo page deletion.
Cheers, Rosh.xyz (talk) 07:02, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Rosh.xyz: The page is not yet ready for mainspace. It needs more citations to become encyclopedic so, once you think the article is ready, you can submit the article for a review, and an experienced editor will check out the article (see WP:AFC). Also, can you please explain why you created this article under Everex Global, not by its original title Everex.io which was deleted twice last year? Thank you. GSS (talk|c|em) 08:32, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
- @GSS: Added more info to the draft article. Please review. I have no idea about Everex.io page. Many thanks!
Page deletion reversed
Hello GSS,
I assure you I am not being directly or indirectly compensated for my edits on the Kelly Alexander Hyman article. Based on my analysis and personal review on the article I cannot find any COI. Being a computer science graduate I like improving my skills and understanding the principles being certain platforms, so I wanted to write an article of a legal analyst that I respect which led me to write this article, I would not have uploaded it directly if I did not think it had sufficient references, because I contacted the previous editor whom the article was deleted from before mine.
I carefully wrote the article without any disruptive editing or any over-marketing terms in the article, Kindly review the speedy deletion of the page and undo it, if any advice regarding the article can be provided it would be great, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shirodahacker (talk • contribs) 16:14, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Re: Claim of undisclosed financial stake / feedback for Dino (software)
I do not have any financial stake in the topic XMPP or Dino. I also think this is hardly possible given XMPP being an open standard not driven by a company and Dino being an open and free client software, developed by a few contributors in their spare time. I am a user of Dino though and noticed it being barely mentioned in the Wikipedia so far, even though it is already pretty popular in the XMPP community.
Regarding your feedback on Draft:Dino (software) article: You say that it "needs more citations from reliable, independent sources". I provided plenty of citations for the History section of the article, but no additional citations for the functionality section. The reason for that is that this descriptive section is mostly based on the description from its website and GitHub repository as well as me verifying that information by using the software. As the software is open-source and widely accessible on Linux systems, you can easily verify this information. Do you want me to find additional third-party/independent sources for that information, even if those would be less reliable? Or was your request for sources regarding a different portion of the article?
Thanks for taking the time to review the article. AlpacaWiki (talk) 18:43, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
Assistance in creation of Sykes Capital Wikipedia article
Hello GSS! Following the deletion of the Atlantis Group article, I think it seems sensible writing a Sykes Capital article from scratch. However, due to recent issues, I request that you help and advise myself in my article writing as I don't want my work being taken down. I'll follow Wikipedia guidelines and reference all evidence. I just ask that yourself be able to advise / check before the article goes live to fellow Wikipedians. Would this please be something you can get involved in?

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019
Hello GSS,
- WMF at work on NPP Improvements
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
- QUALITY of REVIEWING
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
- Backlog
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
- Move to draft
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
- Notifying users
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
- PERM
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
- Other news
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

"Ankur Rathee" Page Deletion Inquiry
Hey GSS User talk:GSS
This is regarding the page "Ankur Rathee" that I created and you moved to "Draft" (https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Ankur_Rathee) I am not being paid by anyone to write this article. I am a fan of the Amazon Prime Show "4 More Shots Please" in which Ankur stars. I have been following the actor and his work closely for a few years now.
Could you please help me understand why you cited that my sources/citations aren't sufficient and then moved my page to "Draft"? I've spent a lot time researching each fact and making sure everything I wrote was cited appropriately. I also made sure that all the facts were presented objectively and without bias. Most of my citations are press articles by legitimate news organizations (not tabloids), interviews Ankur has given with reputable magazines, articles/reviews written about his plays and his web series, and reputable databases for films/shows/actors like IMDB.com. I've only rarely cited something he himself had published on social media when it came to something personal, not self-promotional (like the fact he follows the spiritual guru Paramahansa Yogananda). I worked hard on this article so please help me.

Earlier WP:BIO was given as a reason and we have provided specific references / citations from reliable sources. The sources are based over 3 to 4 years timeline and the notability is there in 3 fields of activity at the national and international level - Football, Hip-Hop Dancing and theater.

Vinaya Seshan - Notability Clause
Hello GSS, you have suggested article Vinaya Seshan for deletion based on Notability WP:N and Reliable Source WP:RS and WP:IS. Please note that the International achievements (Dance World Cup - Gold Medal) have appeared in Independent sources over 3 years. In 2018, she is the winner of the Solo Hip-Hop gold (not team) as you have suggested. Additionally, there are achievements in other fields at the National Level (Football) covered in reliable independent media sources for each of these items referenced in the article.
You have also mentioned that that the article may have been created or edited for an "undisclosed payment of money" - a very serious accusation without any iota of proof. Per Wikipedia guideline on "Good Faith", you need to withdraw this comment.
You have also mentioned that some "improvement" is needed. Can you be more specific so that appropriate action can be taken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radicalux (talk • contribs) 10:05, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello GSS! You declined the Draft:The_APX and told that daily.bandcamp.com is not a reliable source. How ever it's been referred in hundreads of Wikipedia articles. You've also asked to remove Allmusic.com which has been referred in nearly 30 K articles and top40-charts.com which is found from 20 K articles and broadwayworld.com which has been used in more than 2000 articles.

I received a conflict of interest from your side regarding Manpreet Johal article and you said that i have received some undisclosed payment for this article and i am a paid editor. None of these allegations are true. I have not received any amount from the person or their associated companies. I know Manpreet Johal and his feild of work as i am also related to Punjabi Film industry. So my area of knowledge is about them is tottaly unbiased and unpaid.
I would like to request to kindly revert the decision and publish the article. I admit that i am not familiar with the picture upload licenses and their so for future articles, I will not upload any file or media. I am open for discussion on this topic.
Thank you.
Warm Regards! Parminder Singh Bawa

financial stake in promoting a topic ?
Hello, This is my profile https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:ErKaranArora and i got message from your side that As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:ErKaranArora, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=ErKaranArora|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. GSS (talk|c|em) 15:45, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
But i am not doing any paid promotions, nor even i know the persons personally.
- @ErKaranArora: There is some off-wiki evidence that confirms the possibility of undisclosed paid editing and also, do you have any other account on Wikipedia? If so, why are you using more than one account? GSS (talk|c|em) 12:42, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
I don't have any other account. I just ask my friend that my article blocked. Rest is upto you if you don't want to unlock my account i.e fine. if you don't have any proof then never do such things.

K Raheja Corp: No Financial Interest
Hi GSS,
It seems you have taken my consideration of building K Raheja Corp page as having financial interests. I haven't moved the page again as you have asked me not to. However, I want you to relook at the article and the need of it to be in wikipedia. There are many subsets- companies of K Raheja Corp which is already there in wikipedia, and I didn't just publish the old draft because it was definitely promotional, yet I believe the company has encyclopedic value. There is no disclosure as such athat I have, and therefore request you to move the page from draft. I have also written this in my Talk Page after you wrote.

Creation of Articles
Hello There, I know I am new on Wikipedia but I guess that doesn't mean that if I edit or make any article over here then I am being paid on , I hereby declare that all the edits or article I am making on Wikipedia is completely of my own interest and I am not being paid for any edits, all I do is search for people who are known enough for a standalone article and I am making those edits , before creating my edits I have already searched and learned the theory on how things work on Wikipedia now all I am doing is executing what I have learned which is indeed an unending process :) Mitrayanamaha (talk) 10:56, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Edits regarding Tom Bailey
Hi, I saw my recent page move has been reverted. I moved the page because I noticed that there were two people named Tom Bailey that were both musicians: Tom Bailey (musician, born 1956) and Tom Bailey (musician, born 1993). I planned on parenthetical disambiguation and redirecting "Tom Bailey (musician)" and "Tom Bailey (singer)" to the Thomas Bailey disambiguation page. I was in the middle of cleaning up my move when I was reverted. How would you propose we disambiguate the two people? ◢ Ganbaruby! (talk) 18:19, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Ganbaruby: Tom Bailey (musician, born 1993) isn't a notable subject and Tom Bailey (singer) was hijacked please see the history. GSS (talk|c|em) 18:22, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
- I'm a little confused. Are the two not the same person? ◢ Ganbaruby! (talk) 18:27, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
Hi GSS, thanks for your review. I have updated the article Draft:Martin Spano and added 30 relevant references from Slovak and Czech mainstream press and TV.

Article stuck in AFC Pending Submission for more than eight weeks
Hi GSS,
My article https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:Surinder_Pal_Singh_Oberoi has been stuck in AFC pending submission for over 10 weeks. You moved it here citing conflict of interest. I don't work for him, or represent him, but have been a beneficiary of his welfare schemes once in past. He had helped someone in my family to afford a costly medical treatment. That's all connection I have with him. It would be great if you can guide me to modifying the article, given you feel he should be present on Wikipedia, which I believe he must. He has been covered by national media of two countries, both India and Dubai and his work has been acknowledged globally.

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019
Hello GSS,
- Backlog
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
- Coordinator
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
- This month's refresher course
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
- Deletion tags
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
- Paid editing
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
- Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
- Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
- Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
- Not English
- A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
- Tools
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.
DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

Daisy Clover photo
Hi GSS,
You have deleted the photo that I have gone to the trouble to source for the Daisy Clover band article. You noted it was from the The Sun newspaper, however this one isn't. I clearly provide all the details of the source from where I obtained it. The band and the source are all from Australia and according to the copyright laws here, there is no longer any copyright on that photo as it is older than 50 years. Therefore we are free to use it for the article. If you like I can scan the entire Go-Set newspaper so you can verify it yourself. Can you please kindly undo the deletion thank you.

Jaan Nissar Lone
Dear user:GSS just woke up with your edit of an article Jaan Nissar Lone. You have moved the article to draft with a reason the page been re-created several times. But if you check the history of an article Jaan Nissar Lone it’s always been moved to draft by you and none another.
So I want to ask you do you think this page doesn’t deserve to have a space in Wikipedia free encyclopaedia? Or if Page is been deleted or moved to drafts again and again but, natural will be recreated again and again by people like me who just watched his recent released film Pranaam where in he has done Background Score and a song “ Rann Ki Dahaad” then thought of knowing him more I searched him on Wikipedia and he was not there and created his page in a view to giving a space to someone who deserves and is eligible to have space in Wikipedia free encyclopaedia.
With due respect I am too an aspiring admin or what ever you may call it and want to achieve achievements you have achieved by putting your time to create articles of well deserving and deleting articles of non-deserving people to maintain the honourable designation given to us by Wikipedia.
Time is more precious than anything else in the world since life is short. so, when I have given my time to create something I believe and expect such hard work shouldn’t be moved to bin.
