Myocardiodystrophy Suggestion

Hi Silver seren.

I hope you don't mind but I've nominated an article you created for deletion. Myocardiodystrophy is not a term used in the English medical or scientific lecture and appears to be almost exclusively used in Russian or Ukrainian texts. It was also an orphaned article until recently. I don't feel that it merits a Wikipedia page. This is the first time that I've nominated a page for deletion and I'd be grateful for your feedback. Thanks, PeaBrainC (talk) 10:22, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Need Help Please!!!

Hi silver siren,

There are a small group of vandals or trolls (User:BubbaJoe123456) that are vandalizing Luke Brugnara's webpage, deleting 10+ years or base information and structure written by YOU and other editors with a derogatory, inaccurate article that does not define Luke Brugnara. These vandals/trolls intentionally omit relevant material information that has been on the webpage as well, and then get me be banned from Wikipedia once I correct the vandalization--for instance:

The vandals change the webpage to delete all favorable historical information about Brugnara that has been published and cited for 10+ years on this webpage...They then re-cast Brugnara as a Federal criminal indictment, writing the intro and condensed summary as a criminal legal summary--stating "criminal custody", etc. In the summary section of Martha Stewart, a billionaire who has been in prison before, is not defined on Wikipedia in this regard; like her, Brugnara has completed billions of dollars of transactions and the criminal matter is a very small chapter in a long history of his successful life...In fact Brugnara's appeal is still ON GOING in 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and Brugnara will likely win his habeas corpus appeal (currently pending) and be fully vindicated...Brugnara was on the COVER of FORBES for his Da Vinci painting, attributed by Carlo Pedretti. The vandals vandalized Brugnara's webpage stating it is "disputed".. No one has disputed this Da Vinci painting to date. The vandals/trolls lie again about a $1M deposit required for the $170M bid by Brugnara when he bid on Fontainebleau casino in Las Vegas which was not a condition of the bid...The vandals deleted a host of spectacular purchases and transactions by Brugnara (see original article that you wrote) in San Francisco and Las Vegas totaling over $2 billion and replaced this cognizant information with what appears to be a criminal indictment summary with false, derogatory information...The vandals/trolls are using their connections at Wikipedia to impede my right to correct their vandalization.

Please help with this matter silver siren Thank you, --Truthteller1111 (talk) 00:24, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

I really appreciate your work to create this article. For a DYK I suggest perhaps that when Low and Crowfoot Hodgkin determined the structure of penicillin in 1945 it was the largest molecule ever to be succesfully investigated by X-ray crystallography. τ℗ʍ (talk) 16:59, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

DYK

Hi Silver seren, hope all is well. I first want to thank you for that super fast review, I was not expecting that. Regarding the QPQ requirement; I also nominated Helen Brownlee earlier this month but she has not been approved that. If/when she is approved, that would be my fifth and I am required to fo QPQ then, correct?HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:17, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

According to your page, you've done three so far, correct? With this and the Helen one being your fourth and fifth? If so, then not until your next nomination, your sixth, will the QPQ be required from then on, I believe. SilverserenC 04:18, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
This is why I am confused. The DYK page states "If, at the time a nomination is promoted to the main page, its nominator has fewer than five DYK credits (whether or not self-nominated) then the nomination is exempt from QPQ." So I guess that means five or fewer? I interpreted it as on your fifth. Sorry, I still feel new to the DYK process. I only started doing it myself this year. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:22, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
I'm actually not sure either. It's been quite a long time since i've done a DYK nomination. I'm just going to assume you don't need to do a QPQ yet and let the accept check stay as it is unless someone says otherwise. SilverserenC 04:24, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
Okay, thanks. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:29, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
