About my editing as a paid editor for Free port of Ventspils

Hello Joseph, I received the concern about me being a paid editor. I am not, I am doing an internship which I am not being paid for, it's for the learning purposes to raise my skills in business management. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ventspils brīvostas pārvalde (talk • contribs) 06:10, 6 April 2016‎

(talk page watcher) Ah! So you're a self-confessed "unpaid editor for Free port of Ventspils"??? I think you should probably read our conflict of interest policy first. It's very informative. Indeed, doesn't Joseph2302 mention it in big letters at the top of this page...? Cheers, _Fortuna 10:16, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Agreed, even if you're not paid, you still have a conflict of interest. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:50, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

According to Misplaced Pages:Paid-contribution disclosure, Ventspils brīvostas pārvalde, interns are considered the same as employees and so count as "paid" editors. The reason is that interns usually receive an ultimate benefit from there services, even if they do not get a salary, and interns are subject to much the same sorts of pressures as employees. DES 13:29, 7 April 2016 (UTC) @Ventspils brīvostas pārvalde: DES 13:29, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Ahh I get it. They asked me to do this considering I'd be the neutral person, because no one else is likely to update the article otherwise. Well what do you recommend? I realize the article should be only informative and I'm doing my best not to inflict a conflict of interest. Ventspils brīvostas pārvalde (talk) 07:32, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Well first of all, you are required to disclose who is paying you to edit the article- this is a requirement of Wikimedia's Terms of Use & paid editing disclosures.

After that, it's better if you don't directly edit the article, but suggest changes at Talk:Free port of Ventspils instead]]. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:52, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Omega Crosby (rapper)

Can you please be more specific on what is needed on the Misplaced Pages page for "Omega Crosby. He is in the google knowledge graph and my team has been trying to get this article approved for this artist and the label going on a year now. It's pushing back our schedule. I've seen multiple articles on artist and youtubers who are involved in music and have not charted (Big Fase 100, Pryde, J. Stalin, etc.). He has been nominated for awards in his community as well as receiving over a million views on his YouTube videos and plays through soundcloud and music streaming services. Please be more specific on what is needed, becauseat this point it is getting difficult, tedious and frustrating for our consultants to complete this task and have it marked as approved for the label.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikaveli777 (talk • contribs)

@Mikaveli777: Just because Google has created a knowledge graph for him doesn't mean that he needs to have a Misplaced Pages article. There's no evidence that he passes WP:NMUSICIAN or WP:GNG.

Also, the above comment suggests you are engaging in paid editing, which must be disclosed per Misplaced Pages's Terms of Use. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:52, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

We do not get paid for doing this. We are informed about trending subjects and public figures and we try to help make it easier for fans to know information by doing our research and connecting with google support team.

Sorry for any comments that may have offended you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikaveli777 (talk • contribs)

None of your comments have offended me. However, if you work for him and are editing this Misplaced Pages page as part of your work, then under Misplaced Pages's definition, you are a paid editor, meaning you must disclose your employers/client. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:21, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello regarding Strainz page

What other sources are you looking for. Press releases?

There are many cannabis companies you have already listed that have not even raised funding.

I would like to work with you to provide the content needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by R500Mom (talk • contribs) 21:48, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Ask for a favor

Hi Joseph2302,

Thanks for solving my puzzle. There is another tag on another page I've written, Amanda K. Hale. With the suggestions and help from GoingBatty, I changed and added some references. Could you take a look and remove the tag if the problems have been solved based on the comments below?

Your time and attention are greatly appreciated!

@1001Bookworm: Unless I'm missing something, I only noticed 2 primary sources, and everything now seems to be sourced. So I believe those tags can be removed, and have removed them accordingly. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:33, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Joseph2302,

Thanks for your prompt response. If I understand correctly. I can get rid of the 2 primary sounces.

Improvements to article of Michel Daigle

Hi Joseph2302,

Thank you for approving the article about Michel Daigle

I'd like to know what I can do to get the article to a class B or A. Specifically, which sections require additional citations for verification?

Thank you,

Gaelmeagher (talk) 02:52, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Galemeagher: The sections "Freestyle skiing career", "Selected freestyle skiing results", and "Post-skiing career" and the last 2.5 paragraphs of "The Michel Daigle Ski Camp" section all have 0 citations, so I would focus on finding sources to support everything in those sections.

Geological Society of Sri Lanka: Submission of revision

Draft:Geological Society of Sri Lanka (edit | ] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hi Joseph,

Thank you for lettting me know the review comment on my submitted article on the Geological Society of Sri Lanka. The concern was reference. I am the current co-editor of the Society. My details are: <redacted>

The Executive Committee of the society decided to submit a page about the society on the Misplaced Pages (exactly like the GSA- Geological Society of America, they are having a page). So I was given the authority and I did the task. You can see the EC members by visiting our web page http://www.gsslweb.org/32nd-executive-commitee/ and you may verify any details by contacting them.

I have edited the page and revised improving the references for your kind consideration.

Thank you,

Sanjeewa Malaviarachchi - Co editor of the Geological Society of Sri Lanka.

I suggest you read Misplaced Pages's conflict of interest and paid editing policies, due to your affiliation with the organisation.

Also, the draft needs to be neutral tone, rather than promotional, and supported by independent, reliable sources to show that the organisation is notable enough for Misplaced Pages.

Also, just because other stuff exists, that doesn't mean this should. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:03, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Light gap, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Environment (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Dear Joseph2302, My apologies. I just clicked on the link above and it does say that the result was delete. I misunderstood and I apologize. I completely misread the top part. Sorry for the oversightJpop73 (talk) 07:15, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

No problem, I only noted it since it affects the discussion somewhat. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:55, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

OK, thanks! I hope my comments in the discussion are not too lengthy. I'm just hoping to provide as much background information as I can, which may not otherwise be accessible or considered. regardsJpop73 (talk) 09:36, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Revision to Marketplace (Radio Program) entry

Hello, Back in December you rejected proposed edits to the Marketplace (Radio Program) Misplaced Pages page. Marketplace_(radio_program)

I made my status as an employee known, and provided updated information for various sections, factual in nature. Based on your stated concern, I re-submitted my proposed edits along with source links very shortly thereafter (still in December 2015). The revised edits are viewable as the final set of revisions on the Talk page for Marketplace Radio Program. Can our page be updated soon with this new, correct information? The changes I made seek to clean up outdated content--such as former program names, former hosts etc.

Also, unrelated to this particular set of submissions, our host (Kai Ryssdal) has his own Misplaced Pages page. We are wondering what the best approved method is for requesting to change his photo on his Misplaced Pages page. If you have any suggestions for how we might do that, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:58, 13 April 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmhatfield (talk • contribs) 23:27, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

First of all, it isn't your page, you don't own it- it's an article about your company on Misplaced Pages, the encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

I'll have a look when I have time- not that Misplaced Pages has no deadlines, even if your company does.

As for Kai Ryssdal's photo, you would need to freely licence an image of him- see WP:Donating copyrighted material, bearing in mind that the copyright of any photo belongs to the photographer, and so they would have to be the one licencing it. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:58, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

All the sources suggested are primary sources not independent reliable sources. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:34, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

  • Draft:Sangar (surname) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am not sure what you mean by "The mention of any notable people with Misplaced Pages articles and the surname Sangar should be added to that page instead." As the other Misplaced Pages articles about 'Sangar' are to do with places and the military term -- which has nothing at all to do with the surname. When you say to add the surname to that page, I would be adding a completely different topic to a page that is about something else. There is a large variety of articles on Misplaced Pages about surnames and I am still unsure as to why this popular surname cannot have its own article. 2001:569:78B8:B500:8D31:20E0:D503:DBCD (talk) 04:36, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Find all the people with Misplaced Pages articles that have that name. If there aren't any, then we don't need a page about the surname, and if there are lots, then maybe a separate page is warranted.

Also, the current Sangar page is a disambiguation page, which means any relevant links to other Misplaced Pages pages can be added, even about different topics. Joseph2302 (talk) 06:34, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Help needed

Hello Joseph2302! Why you deleted me from your Talk? You told me that you moved my Draft:Natalia Toreeva to Teehouse for their review and opinion, but I got again declined from another person with no knowledge in the Art in Russia, with the same words by words comments. If you moved me to Teehouse should they do the revision of my article? One of your Teehouse person told that the artist is automatically has notability since her arts in museum and published, and even after that I added some drawings and more info into the article, but since the person has no knowledge in Russian art, the article is declined again. I don't know what else I can do, so please help. Thanks.Toreeva (talk) 17:37, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
