(You may do this by posting ((Talkback|your username)) on this page, or by writing your own note.) (I make only limited use of watchlisting, because I have found otherwise I am unable to keep it under control, and soon build up such a huge watchlist that it is unworkable.)
  • If you leave me a message here: I will answer here, unless you request otherwise, or I think there are particular reasons to do otherwise, and usually I will notify you on your talk page.
  • Please add new sections to the bottom of this page, and new messages to the bottoms of their sections. New messages at the top of the page may be overlooked.

Page reverted

Hello,

I have searched in vain for the good path to get administrator’s help for the following issue and so I decided to send this request to some including you.

I have considerably expanded the article Guerrilla filmmaking and took care in referencing it as far as I could (over 90 links to trustful sources). I am an experienced editor of Wikipedia. For my surprise, the article was reverted by user CIRT to a preceding stub version mainly consisting of a very narrow list of films. Many important contents were removed. Self promotional vandalism seems to be the reason of such intervention, sustained by acute threats. I do not intend to respond with helpless and inconsequent arguments and the time I have to dedicate to Wikipedia is quite limited.

I’d be happy if you could pay some attention to this occurrence and let you decide whatever you think is reasonable.

My best,

You deleted my page. I am in the process or re-writing it without a hint of promotional writing. Are you going to prevent me from doing this or delete my next page because you feel the content isn't noteworthy? OmenPhaze..

Topgachhi

You speedy-deleted this, which appears to have been an alternate spelling of Topgachchi. if you feel like it, you may want to create a redirect. Bearian (talk) 17:37, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mr. Watson, you wrote me a message but I didn't fully understand where to respond it, so I did it at Talk:António Garrido (referee) but I don't know if it's the right way to do it. It's my first editing and if I knew this was so confusing and problematic I wouldn't do it. I'm not here to be bullied or insulted. If that's the way this works, then that was my first and last article. I reiterate all I said at my explanations. I just want equity otherwise I'm not doing anything here.

Kind regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caius XX (talkcontribs) 01:12, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have replied on your talk page. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:03, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again, thanks for your reply and support. The tips are very useful. When I searched the help page, I felt totally lost with the amount of information. I hope to continue at Wiki, but this disappointing start at such a low relevance subject... It really made me fed up. I picked a small article to start. In my view, it was an obviously non neutral article, away beyond what should be an encyclopedic information - how can someone even write a restaurant address at an article?... - but I can't spend my energy in an endless void discussion... for god sake, it's a low relevance subject. I'll probably make a last statement later - if time allows it - at Talk:António Garrido (referee), cause I didn't create an account to get upset or be accused. I just don't want to read factious articles. Manipulation and sectarian behaviors should be unacceptable, especially if someone has a clear agenda to impose it. I simply cannot accept that. Equity is essential.

Sorry for any inconvenience and, once again, thank you for your welcoming and attention --Caius XX (talk) 22:14, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting pages

Greetings,

I am relatively new to Wikipedia. I do not know every rule and guideline inside out, nor do I know about every feature that Wikipedia has to offer to its users.

What I can see, however, is that there is a noticeable "bullying" culture among more senior and experienced users towards newer, less experienced users.

The latest example of this was the recent deletion of Dhanson317. This page had been maintained by Anson Davis for several years. The content was helpful to those researching supercentenarians so when he suddenly disappeared off the radar, some of us decided to keep it going, until it was proposed that it should be deleted.

A group of users then came along, like a stampede of rhinoceros, and hurled a load of Wikipedia guidelines (that I had never heard of before) at me, and I felt that little explanation was given for why the page was a problem. I asked some questions - such as "At what point does a user page 'look like an article'?" - and made the point that the article was not supposed to look like another article - but I did not get a satisfactory response to these points.

Fearing that all the data would be lost, I asked someone else if there was anything we could do to save it. He suggested copy & pasting the content to a Sandbox, as this had worked for him when a similar incident occurred in the past. He then did this.

I was under the impression that the issue was now resolved, so I decided to blank Dhanson317's page. After all, that's what the others wanted, so there's no problem, right? Well I had not noticed that the deletion notice said "do not blank". I apologise for that, however, it was not malicious.

When I logged on to Wikipedia today, I noticed that you had chosen to simply delete the new page we had created without giving us any warning at all. So presumably, all that work has been lost? Terrific.

I think that the handling of this situation was SHOCKING. I am sick of tired of seeing these kinds of things on Wikipedia.

So, I would appreciate it if you could explain to me EXACTLY what counts as a "fake article", what content is allowed in different userspaces, and why other people with similar pages are not getting their content deleted as well.

Regards,

@Ollie231213: At present I don't have time to reply properly to you, and I think it would not be courteous to you to make a rushed job at replying. I will try to get back to you within the next couple of days, but if I don't then plese remind me. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:25, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AIV notice

Thanks for telling me I was listed on there in lieu of the nominator; I meant no offense to them whatsoever beyond reminding them we're not part of ABC's marketing department and we have to use the logo/text most associated with the show everywhere, not just the US. Nate (chatter) 03:26, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, Nate, it was an absurd report. You don't have to justify yourself. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:23, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Malformed SPI

Can you check Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ramiericson? Rukn950 was made before Ramiericson, this report has to be added under Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rukn950. Thanks OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 10:07, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, OccultZone. You are right in saying Rukn950 was made before Ramiericson, by a mere matter of eight years! I have moved the SPI page. Unfortunately I am short of time, or I would look further into the case, but I have at least moved the SPI case page to Rukn950.

Sock of banned user

Hello,

It appears the editor who edited from this IP [3], whom you blocked a while back for being some banned editor, has created a new sock [4]. He is edit-warring to re-instate a 19th century map that the IP editor added to the article originally [5]. Note how both the IP editor and the new sock begin their edit summaries with "sorry but" [6] [7]. Thanks a lot, Athenean (talk) 20:09, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Athenean (talk) 23:10, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
