Your Computer BIOS Needs Updating

Just interested in this please. Assume it was the LinkedIn ones? Just so I know for next time.

Yes. Generally speaking, linking to someone's LinkedIn profile within an article is considered promotional. Aspening (talk) 14:18, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, Thank you Aspening. I have just noted though that the whole definition was also removed. Is that correct? I am going to add it back in, with reference to both myself and the academic who coined the definition as I feel it is an important addition given it is an actual accepted definition that is then referenced in the first article noted there in that page. I am assuming this is okay to do

Okay, but please remember to cite a credible source. Also please note that writing about yourself in any way may be seen as a conflict of interest. Aspening (talk) 06:06, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Luttwak Geoeconomics essay

Hi Aspening,

I posted an essay on Geoeconomics to the titular page on behalf of the essay's author, and the person who coined the term "geoeconomics", Dr. Edward Luttwak. You removed the post for potential copyright violations. Is there a way I can repost the essay in such a way as to satisfy the guidelines?

Best, SecurityStudiesMA

@SecurityStudiesMA: One thing you can do is add a citation to it to the "Further reading" section. Aspening (talk) 14:03, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nas

Hello. I wanted to put Inbox person instead of Inbox musical artist. It fell apart. That is why I did that.

It looks like you changed the years active even though there was a comment with evidence supporting the previous date. Also, generally speaking, a rapper should have Infobox musical artist as opposed to Infobox person, because more specific infoboxes should be used when possible.

Persistent vandal

Hi Aspening. I noticed that you posted a warning recently on the user page for anonymous editor 84.252.59.254. It looks like they're at it again: I've reverted a lot of their recent edits, which were mainly adding unnecessary job titles etc. to cast & character lists in films. Either they haven't seen the warnings on their user page, or they're choosing to ignore them - either way, do you think it's time to get them blocked? Regards, ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 07:35, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised they haven't been blocked at all. I would keep a close eye on their edits, give them an L4 warning next time they vandalize/add unsourced content, and if they ignore that report them to AIV. A lot of the warnings currently on their talk page are at least two weeks old, so they aren't really actionable. Aspening (talk) 09:32, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like a reasonable course of action. I'll keep an eye on their edits over the next week ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 15:12, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
