Re: Response /Taalk to me; from Dm310

Him Jimfbleak: I am concerned that my messages aren't being understood. I just received this via email;

{Drm310 Thanks. An odd one this, with the unblock request in the wrong place, and also the only edit by an apparent sock account. I could block this account, but provided it's not used for any other edits, I'll hold off until any unblock request on the master account is resolved Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:38, 31 August 2023 (UTC)}

P l e a s e, don't keep blocking me for a "sock" account. I explained why I thought I might have 2 accounts and am happy to have one deleted. I just want to know what to do to enable me to add the information abut the topic I provided (?) Different editors reading my requests and just knee-jerk blocking me doesn't solve anything and ends-up just turning me away again when I am an innocent ignorant of the dark arts of Wikipedia.

Burgermac, please don't edit when logged out. I haven't sent you an email, I think You are referring to the message on your talk page. If you read the message, I haven't blocked that account. The problem is that you are requesting an unblock on an account that isn't blocked, and not on the one that is, as Drm310 has already pointed out to you. You need to request an unblock on the talk page of the blocked account, which should include telling us what you will write about if you are unblocked.

Deletion of Ulez.co.uk

Hi,

The purpose of the Wikipedia page was to provide factual and useful information about Ulez.co.uk and its features especially the ULEZ camera locations. The page included references to reputable news sources that have covered Ulez.co.uk, such as the Daily Mail, The Sun, Essex Live, iNews, Metro, and more. The page did not include any promotional language or calls to action and was written in a neutral tone.

I understand the importance of Wikipedia's guidelines on self-promotion and neutrality, and I made every effort to adhere to those guidelines when creating the page. I believe that Ulez.co.uk is a notable subject that warrants a Wikipedia page due to its relevance to the ULEZ, a significant public policy initiative in London. The website provides unique and valuable tools that are not available on any other platform and has been covered by multiple reputable news sources.

I kindly request that you reconsider the deletion of the Ulez.co.uk Wikipedia page. I am happy to make any necessary revisions to the page to address any concerns you may have. Thank you. Katcr (talk) 13:14, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Katcr, to show that this website meets our notability criteria, you need, as you say, independent reputable news sources. Unfortunately, none of the news sources you list are acceptable here as such. You need proper sources like broadsheet newspapers, the BBC and such like. You describe the website as unique, but I checked for compliance on the TFL website last time I drove to London. You say your coverage is neutral, but you quote a Conservative MP's views, while ignoring those of TFL or the Mayor of London. I'm prepared to restore in principle for improvement, but first you must say if you have any conflict of interest regarding this site, and whether you can find references that are acceptable here. A minor point, headings should be in sentence case Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:34, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jimfbleak, I have no affiliation with the website. The camera locations is unique to ulez and many people use it. This website is well known within the ulez community especially the ones that are against the scheme, i.e regular people. It was not my intention to appear biased because the page was in progress. I was stunned to see speedy deletion. I guess that was someone who doesn't understand the ulez. Since when are the Daily Mail and The Sun not broadsheet? I didn't even use all the references available. Please work with me Jim. Katcr (talk) 13:51, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You clearly have an axe to grind here. What is the "Ulez community"? I would guess it meant anyone who lives in, or drives into, London, like me, but clearly not. I'm not against the scheme, so I obviously don't count as a "regular person". I don't think you understand what broadsheet means. It refers to the papers once printed in a large format that are taken to present facts accurately, irrespective of their political stance, such as The Times, the Telegraph and the Guardian, and their Sunday equivalents. The papers you mention are not seen as factually reliable, especially on a politicised issue like ULEZ. Major UK radio and TV broadcasters, like the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 are also OK. As I've said, I'll restore if you can find proper sources, if you can't, your draft will keep being rejected for the reasons stated by your draft reviewer Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:04, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry @Jimfbleak but that really seems like a personal opinion. I never said I'm against or pro ULEZ because it doesn't matter. I can't add better references unless you restore the page. Katcr (talk) 14:09, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Special:Contributions/2A02:C7F:22C:2E00:2905:EC26:A447:610D/64 is all spam and Katcr also has previous on that front too. Good decision! SmartSE (talk) 14:01, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks SmartSE Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:08, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is not about what I did 7 years ago. This is about a page that deserves to be live. Katcr (talk) 14:11, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Katcr: No it's not, but it's pretty clear that you are linked to this SEO agency and have been spamming here for months, including trying to pass of ulez.co.uk as the official site and yet you are claiming to be completely unrelated to the site, despite it being owned/designed by the agency.

Elsewedy University of Technology

Hi – just FYI... Elsewedy University of Technology has reincarnated. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:34, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DoubleGrazing, thanks. Deleted and blocked Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:06, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers. Probably need to also keep an eye on their other accounts, Youssef Badreldin and YoussefBadreldin2022, that were earlier used to edit Alamein International University. They've not edited since 2021, so I expect it's a case of forgotten passwords etc. rather than socking, but might reactivate now that the newer account is blocked. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:13, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Restoration of the Parvati Kurakula Article

Dear @Explicit @Jimfbleak

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to respectfully request the restoration of the article on Parvati Kurakula, which was deleted on 3rd September 2023 and previously on 7th March 2022. As the article's creator and contributor, I have some concerns and would appreciate your professional consideration.

I understand that there were valid reasons for the previous deletions; however, I would like to express my commitment to addressing any concerns and improving the article to meet Wikipedia's content guidelines and policies.

Regarding the most recent deletion associated with the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Parvati kurakula @XFDcloser, I was not notified or involved in the discussion process. I am keen to understand the specific reasons that led to the deletion and whether there were any recommendations or feedback provided during the discussion that could guide the article's improvement.

In my contributions to the article, I made efforts to establish Parvati Kurakula's notability by highlighting her role in founding a journalism website and providing credible sources to support this claim. I believe that with the proper adjustments and adherence to Wikipedia's standards, the article can offer valuable information to readers.

I kindly request your assistance in restoring the article so that I can work on refining it and ensuring its compliance with Wikipedia's guidelines. I am eager to collaborate with you and the Wikipedia community to achieve this goal.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Your guidance in this matter would be highly appreciated. You can see discussion Here [Need Your Help Moving Article "Parvati Kurakula" to Main Space] सीमा कश्यप (talk) 05:19, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User page

Hi Jimfbleak, I was wondering why your deleted my User:Janicelp page? I have been editing on Wikipedia since 2018 and am on the project leadership for the Women in Religion project. Please tell me what is wrong. I will reinstate my User page, so please do not delete it. Janice Leah Poss (talk) 23:51, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Janice Leah Poss, see WP:NOTWEBHOST and Wikipedia:User pages. Your user page is for you to tell us about your activities on Wikipedia. It isn't there to host articles or draft articles, particularly when the draft exists elsewhere (and needs a lot of work!). You have yet another version in your sandbox, why is that? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:30, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I understand, but when I click on my sandbox it goes to "User:Janicelp/sandbox" (?) Is there a way to fix this? I am not sure. I have no idea why it is doing that. Do you? Help!

Thanks,

Janicelp Janice Leah Poss (talk) 14:38, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Janice Leah Poss this is why it's a bad idea to have two versions. I've made these changes to Draft:Ulrike E. Auga to fix multiple formatting and other errors. You should be working on that instead of a completely non-compliant sandbox version that will never be accepted as it stands Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:50, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I will look at what you've done and I am very grateful for your help! I'll keep in mind that working in Draft mode is the better way to go. That's new to me as we were always told to work on an article in our sandbox before submitting, I guess that's changed! Thanks! Janicelp (talk) 14:59, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Janice Leah Poss, to expand on that, every heading in the sandbox version has at least three different formatting errors, the first two shouldn't even exist, and you have no wikilinks at all. Even if you knew what was required, you would just be repeating what I have already done in the draft version, and, I'd suggest, bullet point your lists as I've done with Monographs. isbn numbers for books are a good idea too Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:11, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see the sandbox version anymore. Are Wikilinks the blue links you've added? I just added the Protestant Church in Berlin(EKBO) because it has a en-Wikipage. I will add the ISBNs to the books and some of the Journals referenced should have ISBNs and the articles should have DOI numbers, but this will take me awhile to research. Now that this draft is on the WIR project draft page, will it live there while we fix all this? I hope so. Thanks again, Janicelp (talk) 15:27, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Janice Leah Poss, drafts can stay as such for months, as long as there is progress, and then submitted for review when ready. The blue links are wikilinks, no rush Jimfbleak - talk to me? 18:07, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, my team is helping me work on this today as we have a regular meeting. Janicelp (talk) 20:59, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Velociraptor at TFA

Hi Jim, I've got a TFA notice for you (and for LittleJerry, too). At WP:Unreviewed_featured_articles/2020/2004–2009, you both added your names after Velociraptor last year. I asked Z1720 to pick a few TFA reruns for October, and this was one of his selections. The article seems in good shape to me to run on October 30, and I trust your judgment, but let me know if you notice any significant problems. - Dank (push to talk) 02:55, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
