Arpvr block?

We both know that Arpvr has been a problematic contributor. They're now repeatedly removing AfD templates - see this, for example. I think they've had enough rope. What do you think? - Sitush (talk) 15:44, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

And they removed the above message! - Sitush (talk) 09:21, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Sock? Or new non-sense?

Is Neebras some sock? Or a new non-sense editor? More than 50 pages have been created by him in less than a month and most of which should be deleted by one or the other reason. Should we spend time PRODing/AfDing and debating because he took BEBOLD seriously or can some admin BEBOLD and save community time? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 11:41, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Blocked as sock of Nouman khan sherani. Interestingly they had also created a SpacemanSpiff23. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:27, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Page created by a paid editor deleted but the page was legitimate. Advice?

I would like to start by stating that I really don't know anything about wikipedia other than using it as a reference. A freelancer was paid to publish a wikipedia article for the topic of "Rome Aloise". All of the content was written by friends of mine and not the freelancer. I now understand that it looks like a violation of the rule BUT I would like to re-publish the page myself. I was hoping to find some advice. How would I go about creating the page and getting it back up? Thank you! Phil Ybarrolaza — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phil624 (talk • contribs) 20:45, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

@Mayasutra: Maya (illusion) and Kapila, previously warned by you

@SpacemanSpiff: See the PA by @Mayasutra again here, mainly on me but also on @RexxS. @Mayasutra was given a final warning by you. See this and the WP:TPNO reminders to @Mayasutra on the Talk:Kapila and Talk:Maya (illusion) pages. @Bishonen: FYI, on @Mayasutra (and @Kashmiri: who is not involved in Kapila, but both have behaved inappropriately in the Maya article).

About admin

Hello SpacemanSpiff, I am a new user but I want to became a admin on Wikipedia after 2-3 months (if I make more than 1000 edits). As you are an admin please tell me about adminship of Wikipedia on my talk page. Spacecraft Man (talk) 14:38, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

  • I left them a note on their talk page about all of this, basically just telling them to learn about policy and whatnot first and not look at becoming an admin as something reliant on hitting a certain amount of edits or being around for a set amount of time.

Request for review of speedy deletion of Siri Rama

Hi! I am a newbie user (but a very grateful and longtime reader!) of Wikipedia, and found it difficult to even navigate the user pages/talk pages etc. of the administrators who seem to have made a decision on speedy deletion of this page. But I finally found a source that said that this was the place (i.e. your talk page) I should write to if I wanted to request a review of the page for Siri Rama. The reasons for the speedy deletion seem to be outlined here:

http://wikivisually.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Siri_Rama

It only recently came to my attention that someone who recently arranged a TedX talk by Dr Siri Rama created a Wikipedia page for her (which the organizer wrote based on promotional materials for Dr Siri that had been requested) and that this page for Dr Siri has since been deleted (speedily too!) because of the “self-promotional” nature of the write-up and what the administrators not-so-kindly refer to as “non-notability.” While it is the prerogative of the administrators to determine notability, it is a little unfair to Dr Siri that for no fault of hers, there is now some publicly available and uncharitable discussion on whether her contributions have been notable. It is certainly possible that her achievements do not add up to the high standards that are required for a Wikipedia entry, but it is also possible that the well-intentioned initial page creator did not write the page appropriately – that the entry was not written in a strictly biographical manner, but in a promotional manner, and did not include enough independent references. Indeed the talk on the deletion page by the four commenters (administrators?) does suggest exactly those as the reasons for speedy deletion.

I am not the original creator of the entry, but clearly I am not a disinterested party either, or else I would not be writing to you.

I would like to ask if • that discussion can be deleted from the Wikipedia pages, as otherwise, there is unnecessary harm potentially to her reputation (that some anonymous commenters have publicly assessed her many contributions as non-notable), for no fault of hers (since she did not instigate or create this page), OR, • could you reconsider a new page for her with better references and written in a more objective fashion. Please do consider the facts and sources below.

Dr Siri Rama is not “just” a dancer – she is a choreographer, dance scholar, dance teacher (who has graduated many students through to a debut performance in India and in Singapore), has performed worldwide, has collaborated with award-winning artistes from many different genres, and has been given many awards, including a lifetime achievement award. Recently, her dance institution celebrated its 35th anniversary. Now all of this could well be written up in a factual manner, backed up by independent sources, on the web and off-the-web (through publication references).

While one of your administrators disparages the Hindu newspaper as a source, you might note that it is the only national newspaper in India that has substantial coverage of Indian classical dance. Also the leading Indian dance site is Narthaki.com, and the leading Indian classical music and dance magazine is Sruti. Dr Siri Rama’s work has been covered in all three of these media vehicles (and in several city editions of the Hindu). She is also currently serving her third consecutive term as elected President of the Singapore chapter of the World Dance Alliance.

A few important (but not comprehensive list of) Web references to the dance, choreography and scholarship work of Dr Siri Rama (as Indian dance operates in what may be termed as the “informal sector,” not every detail is captured in easily-citeable web references – and some are in the regional press, which do not maintain very comprehensive websites).

Please retain the current Montage image of Mangalore

Hi Spaceman Spiff,
I am glad Yudirai has updated the montage image of Mangalore article. That Town Hall image is very old for a fast growing city like Mangalore. Mangalore deserves pictures of the true skyline, beaches and city scapes combined into a single image.
Please retain the current Montage image and don't revert it to that Town Hall picture.

Shreyas R Shreyas, it's time for you to stop your copyvio sockpuppetry nonsense here and at Commons. It's wasting the time of many editors. —SpacemanSpiff 10:20, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks - Ravidas page

Hi SpacemanSpiff, you just reverted an edit of mine on the Ravidas page. Just letting you know I lost internet connection and wasn't able to continue the editing I was doing at the time which is why the sentence wasn't finished. All is good now, so just to say thanks for fixing that up. CheersSpinach444 (talk) 04:40, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Mind it!

There is no problem with giving a notification to someone for an "un-takeable" (and not unaaceptable) edit, or for adding media. However, strutting out warnings as if you own the place, is a problem!

Make sure you avoid it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.161.76.213 (talk) 09:08, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
