User talk:Zavika

Welcome!

Hello, Zavika, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

Please hold of on editing ClamAV while the "{{in use}}" template is in place so that I can address the neutrality issue. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:31, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

OK. I'm done. Please keep your editing neutral in the future. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:35, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

This is exactly the type of problem I'm talking about. This is nothing but unsourced opinion rather than reliably-sourced, neutral facts. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:37, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

You've made this claim (that ClamAV has a solid reputation for being the best antivirus) three times now, with no reliable source to back up this claim. Your editing is not bordering on an edit war in addition to violating neutrality. Please stop. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

This is a general conception in the forums of the different distros - like the one I presented. Besides, everyone who uses linux (like my profession requires), have that basic knowledge of the fact - because there is not another open-source options available that offer the same gigantic database for heuristic detections. Zavika (talk) 14:42, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

I was perfectly neutral - that's factual that there is not any another solid option in terms of anti-malware software for linux systems but ClamAV, specially if they are open-source (and if there is, please present it to me - because I am a technician and I am not aware of it). Zavika (talk) 14:48, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I will keep that in attention - thank you for warning me Zavika (talk) 14:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much!!... :) Sorry for this issue of the editing, but I am a heavy Linux user - and one of the common issues I suffer frequently, is I don't have any another anti-malware options for my Linux systems but ClamAV (specially when we talk about the open-source options available). Zavika (talk) 14:53, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

In Linux Systems, if you don't use ClamAV/ClamTK, Chkrootkit and Rkhunter, you are screwed... Because you won't have an anti-virus - especially if you want it to be Open-Source (because LITERALLY, there is no another options available). Zavika (talk) 14:56, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit Warring

Hi Zavika! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. VViking_TalkEdits 14:40, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. VViking_TalkEdits 14:41, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

I didn't promove advertisement. I am an IT Technician, and I limited myself for my Technical knowledge of facts - there is no another open-source anti-malware option for Linux Systems. (And Sophos, the only potential alternative that is proprietary, has lower malware detection rates than ClamAV on Linux Systems). Zavika (talk) 15:00, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

And Chkrootkit and Rkhunter are only for Rootkits - leaving ClamAV as the only reliable open-source option with more than 8 millions malware samples. Zavika (talk) 15:03, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

You have added (repeatedly):

Since 2002 to the current date, ClamAV had seen a titanic growth - giving it the impressive ability to compete with its proprietary competitors. Among the Linux and Open-Source communities, it has a solid reputation of being higly effective, and also the best anti-malware option for Linux Systems currently available.

References

This paragraph is blatantly promotional. Whether that is your intention or not, that is the fact. You have been told this multiple times and have ignored the advice. The forum posting you have used as a reference is not considered a reliable source. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Okay. So tell me another reliable anti-malware option available for linux systems that is more reliable than ClamAV (for which I know for a fact that doesn't exist because I am an IT Technician)? If you can refute me fact, and present me another more reliable option, I'll drop it off. Otherwise it is a fact that you are not refuting with facts that can prove my statement is wrong.

Saying "this is wrong because I don't like your sources" isn't a technical and factual explanation.

I can see you don't even use Linux - otherwise you wouldn't say that.

Besides I had a HUGE work in gathering details about Splunk's Study, because I wanted people to have access to more information for free - and you did delete all my work because of a tantrum. Thank you, thumbs up for your contribution! Zavika (talk) 15:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

if you can refute me that* Zavika (talk) 15:18, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't believe you understand how Wikipedia works. Just because you know that ClamAV is the best product available, we can't just take your word for that. Wikipedia relies on reliable sources. Your statements ("impressive ability to compete with proprietary competitors" and "it has a solid reputation of being highly effect and the best option") are not backed by reliable sources, and therefore they cannot be allowed to remain. It is not my job to refute your facts, it is your job to properly verify your facts. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:35, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

You statement is merely based in your personal opinions - my sources for the kind of statement I did, were perfectly acceptable and reliable.

You can't refute the facts I said, because you don't know nothing about the topic you are talking about at first place - if I wanted, I could just pick up one of my technical manual books, that say the same thing I did (and then you couldn't do nothing about it, and the paragraph would stay there anyway).

But I have to go to work, and I don't have time for this. I made my contribution, and the paragraph isn't there anymore Zavika (talk) 15:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Your* Zavika (talk) 15:54, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Already made my last changes in order of people who can't buy encyclopedias can have detailed information about Spunkl's Study - I didn't even did put the same paragraph (so please, stop changing the things because of your personal opinions). Zavika (talk) 15:39, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Socking

Hello, Zavika, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as WikiAkivaz (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. VViking_TalkEdits 15:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

I can prove I am a single account and I am not breaking regulations. However I saw the page changing constantly, and I got a bit tired of your lack of solid work made to ditch ClamAV and to promote proprietary anti-malware. Notwithstanding, I won't make more changes on it - at least in the effectiveness part. WikiAkivaz (talk) 17:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

I can prove I am a single account and I am not breaking rules. But I saw the page changing a lot, and got sick of your lobby to ditch ClamAV and promote the paid proprietary antimalware. But I won't make any another changes on that field WikiAkivaz (talk) 17:22, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your attention. WikiAkivaz (talk) 17:23, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

@WikiAkivaz: There is no "lobby to ditch ClamAV". There is an effort to assure that all edits at Wikipedia are based on reliable sources and not personal opinion. And you still haven't answered the question as to why you created a second account instead of continuing to edit under the first username. This gives the appearance of trying to game the system by making editors believe that two separate accounts want the same changes, so that the two voices should override the single contradicting voice. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

It actually seems you are making lobby - but I don't really care about it anymore.

What are you talking about "2 separate accounts"?? This statement is baseless and ridiculous! Everything I did was creating a "single account" to fix your inconstant work - on a page that was constantly changing (sorry if I was a reader with good intentions).

But never mind, I am done. I give up of this page - I am never making edits for ClamAV's page again.

I tried to help, and some people here just arrange excuses to make new edits - just to increase their personal editions numbers. There is a lot of more things here I can contribute without touching this page, and I don't want to stress about this anymore.

Please, leave me alone and get out of my back. WikiAkivaz (talk) 18:38, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

It has been found that you have been using one or more accounts abusively or have edited logged out to avoid scrutiny. Please review the policy on acceptable alternate accounts. In short, alternate accounts should not be used for the purposes of deceiving others into seeing more support for your position. It is not acceptable to use two accounts on the same article, or the same topic area, unless they are publicly and plainly disclosed on both your and the other account's userpage.

Your other account(s) have been blocked indefinitely. This is your only warning. If you repeat this behavior you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Thank you. Vanjagenije (talk) 19:06, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
