Telanian SPI

Hi Sarah, since pings do not always perform reliably from within SPI reports I wanted to leave this permalink so you would see my note. Cheers,

Hi Berean Hunter, thanks for letting me know. Sarah ^(talk) 19:23, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please see .....

I'll probably write something up at Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Thanks, discussing the issue in those terms is long overdue. I'll look out for your edits to WP:DISCLOSEPAY. Sarah ^(talk) 19:34, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Need help

Please weigh in and close this acrimonious RFC [1]. Essentially all the veteran visual arts project editors are in opposition; several editors are in favor although it appears to also be several drive by votes in favor. An uninvolved administrators opinion would be greatly appreciated...Modernist (talk) 15:00, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Modernist, I'll take a look at it. I can't promise that I'll close it because I have limited time, but I've started reading it. One thing that confuses me is that one group presents it as old versus modern mode, and you present it as "mode packed versus non mode packed." If you can point to where that's clarified, that would help. I'm also not sure whether the threads under the RfC are also part of it. Sarah ^(talk) 19:31, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it should be allowed to stay open for 30 days, unless everyone agrees that it can be closed. Sarah ^(talk) 19:33, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sarah, I greatly appreciate your help. "Mode packed" is 'modern' and "non mode packed" is 'old' referring to galleries with images of paintings. All the threads down to the end of the page are part of it. Most of us who create these articles tend to use non mode packed galleries. Several of the opinions voiced in favor of modepacked galleries are from editors who have not done any significant editing on visual art articles, in one case an editor who voted 'modern' has edited on wikipedia only one day - August 11. Any insight that you bring will be much appreciated...Modernist (talk) 20:08, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you, that's helpful. I was about to close the RfC and post that I'd take some time to read it before summarizing, but I see there are a few days left, so it's best to leave it open for the default 30 days. Sarah ^(talk) 20:12, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BURO bullshit

(As it has been termed.) Hello; you might wish to see and perhaps even comment on this at WP:AN/I. -- Hoary (talk) 02:18, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff Berwick

The revisions you have made to Jeff Berwick have resulted in an article which is "non-factual" and untrue.

In 2013, Berwick became the most successful promoter of John Cobin's Galt's Gulch Chile project,[1] a libertarian enclave in the Curacaví region of Chile.

This was explained in the previous edit.. $10,000,000 was raised by Berwick for a project with costs of $1,500,000, and the product was not delivered

Source Vice News -- http://www.vice.com/read/atlas-mugged-922-v21n10

Salon Magazine

So in fact he raised money that bilked investors as documented by a major news source

The solution is delete the wrong information or report the true information

In 2013, Berwick announced his plans to co-found the world's first Bitcoin automated teller machine (ATM).[2] He subsequently was pushed out of the project by its founders.[3]

This was also explained in the previous edit

Berwick was on CNBC with that announcement timed to the Cypress financial statement

One month later Berwick abandoned that announcement

Another major news source Business Insider - did a series of articles which spoke to the lack of credibility

The solution here is to print the story as exposed in major news outlets or delete because it does not meet BLP standards.

Pay for citizenship scam

We have two articles One from German the other from Paraguay in which this enterprise was shut down for the issuance of false documents.

Please make the proper determination; 1) Do you want to speak to fact? 2) Or do you want to have falsehood? 3) Does the article need to be in Wikipeida
