Industrial Internet of Things

This is regarding the information you deleted about security. We understand where you are coming from but we think it is important information relevant to the topic. This is not the case of selfpromo. Removing a useful finding about operational technology security is unnecessary.

Many small-scale manufacturing companies are victims of cyberattacks on operational technology as they can not afford to upgrade to modern hardware. Covid-19 made it worse for small businesses and there are more attacks happening now. Unfortunately, most of the applied academic research on security issues is funded by big companies and doesn't benefit small manufacturers as much. It is ok to make the open-access reseach visible that benefits small manufacturers.

Citations are not an indicator for useful research. Regarding your concern on research being new, the older the research on cryprographic protocols for IIoT, the higher the danger of it becoming irrelevant. 86.52.40.226 (talk) 16:23, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Link Removed

Hello, Recently i had placed a link to Garden tool wiki page and it was removed, may be due to violation of any of wikipedia's terms. I do understand and respect your decision. I might have made a mistake there.

however, i can see that all my contributions are reverted. Please note that, i am new to this platform and want to contribute to more and more pages. Till now, i was spending time to learn about[REDACTED] in details. Is there anyway, we can keep the existing contributions live while i will ensure not to add any unnecessary external links?

Kindly note that, i have no intention to put external links to marketing purpose. As it generates nofollow links and it is useless in terms of marketing anyway.

What i am trying to do is that, trying to build up a strong personal authority by contributing more and more to wikipedia.

Kindly let me know, how can i recover my contributions, please? Thanks and regards

@RasAlGhul 2021: Every single one of your contributions was simply to add spam links to the same URL. You will not 'build up a strong personal authority' by spamming links - it is much more likely that your account will be blocked and the spammed domain will be added to the link blacklist. - MrOllie (talk) 12:51, 22 March 2021 (UTC)


I understand, this is because i am giving links to the same domain only. I realise that, i have made a mistake here. Kindly note that, my intention was simply to learn the basics. Kindly excuse me.

I would also like to bring your attention to the fact that, i was not adding useless content links to the[REDACTED] page. I genuinely think, those pages will add a value to the wiki pages.

Anyway, what should i be doing now to recover from my mistakes?

Kindly advice.

RasAlGhul 2021 (talk) 12:58, 22 March 2021 (UTC) RasAlGhul 2021

I would suggest reading Help:Getting started. - MrOllie (talk) 13:03, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks. I hope my account is in good standing as i do not want to be blocked by wikipedia. And about my external links, I would request you to check if the given links are relevant or not. As per my knowledge, i have replaced the existing links with better relevancy. My only mistake was to keep giving links to same URL. I will never repeat it again.

Thanks and regards. RasAlGhul 2021 (talk) 13:18, 22 March 2021 (UTC) RasAlGhul 2021

No, your mistake was adding inappropriate links. 'Relevant' is only one criteria a link must meet. If you had been adding links to six different blogs hosted on online shopping sites instead of one, they would have been reverted as well. - MrOllie (talk) 13:24, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. However, i would politely disagree with your statement here. I had replaced the links, which were completely irrelevant. Anyway, i also understand my mistakes here. Just let me know, if my profile and the site i was linking to are in good standing but not in block list??

Thanks once again. RasAlGhul 2021 (talk) 13:37, 22 March 2021 (UTC) RasAlGhul 2021

Removing an irrelevant link is not a license to add a different inappropriate link. - MrOllie (talk) 13:38, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

I kindly request you to visit the links and see if they are truly irrelevant link and make a conclusion. Kindly do that. If you genuinely feel the links are not appropriate, you can remove them and keep the links which are relevant. I repeat, spamming was not my intention. I want to be a supercontributer to wikipedia.

Thanks and regards. RasAlGhul 2021 (talk) 13:44, 22 March 2021 (UTC). RasAlGhul 2021

Harvard Law School

Hi MrOllie! I just reverted your "undo" for the research centers at Harvard Law School. You left a note saying it is a "laundry list" but I strongly believe it is a useful one with all the links attached. In addition, you'll find that the programs and centers lists are available on the Wiki pages of Yale Law School and Stanford Law School (in fact, with less links attached). Since these are the 3 top law schools in the country, may I ask what would justify a differential treatment between their pages? (And to be clear, I did find them very useful which made me realize that the Harvard page lacked this information that I wanted to compare.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bethere42 (talkcontribs)

Misplaced Pages is specifically not supposed to host lists of links. - MrOllie (talk) 16:46, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Soil Mechanics - Effective stress

Dear MrOllie, the changes you've detected at the article in subject is not a Refspam. I've pointed out some details about Terzaghi's model (i.e. one-dimensional consolidation theory) and the more general one developed by Biot. Furthermore, the cited reference may be useful for many readers as here several theoretical aspects of the effective stress principle have been explained. Maybe the appended text was unclear. I would be grateful if you may provide some suggestion about. Thanks so much — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.171.72.12 (talk) 18:22, 22 March 2021 (UTC)


Dear MrOllie, I apologize for writing to you without using a wiki account. This is my account. If you have nothing against it, I will restore my contribution to the article on Soil Mechanics. If you think that something is wrong, please try to explain to me what I have to change, before reverting my contribution. Thank you

Are you related to any of the authors of the citation in any way? - MrOllie (talk) 21:37, 22 March 2021 (UTC)


No, I'm gone through this paper in the last couple of weeks

Thermal Oxidizer / JonCarender - Threats of Blocking / Blacklisting

MrOllie, Not all links to external sites are promotional/spam, they show users where information came from, if fact-checks are needed. In this niche industry, 99% of the knowledge is held with the engineering companies that post information on their websites. Are we no longer allowed to cite sources?

The link I added yesterday was to CPI - I don't even work for that company! I work for a competitor.... TKS Industrial. You can check linkedin.

I feel you have gone too far in seeking to remove/ban all promotional "spam" links. You are reducing the helpfulness of the Misplaced Pages pages with your actions. I object to what you are doing. Please reconsider your actions. -Jon — Preceding unsigned comment added by JonCarender (talkcontribs) 20:59, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

JonCarender, You've added many links to TKS Industrial, too, which was a violation of Misplaced Pages's terms of use. When someone repetitively links to vendors, that is spamming as Misplaced Pages defines it. Please use only reliable sources, which in this case would mean peer reviewed articles, not vendor web sites. MrOllie (talk) 21:02, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/Help:Introduction_to_referencing_with_Wiki_Markup/1 "One of the key policies of Misplaced Pages is that all article content has to be verifiable. This means that reliable sources must be able to support the material." In this industry, there are not peer reviewed articles, there are only vendor websites. What you suggest is not an option. Therefore, the best course of action is to link to the vendor sites, so the reader has the OPTION to click through to independently verify the information. The alternative is to have an article with zero cites - which is exactly what we have now https://en.wikipedia.org/Regenerative_thermal_oxidizer thanks to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JonCarender (talkcontribs) 21:07, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

If there are no reliable sources, the solution is to omit the information, not to compromise sourcing standards. As an user who works in this industry you remain in violation of WP:PAID. - MrOllie (talk) 21:33, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

theofficeproviders.com

Hi there, I am a new contributor. I have had a link removed from the entry that I made but I feel the link is appropriate as it is to a unique resource based off unique research. The company referenced is regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) so would appear to be a safe source. There appears to be no other resource with this information available. The source has creative commons licence. Thanks and regards. Crestatto (talk) 13:29, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

We do not use vendor sales materials as sources, they are not considered to be reliable (they are self published and generally full of self-serving claims). If this is a unique source of information, the solution is to omit the information, not to compromise sourcing standards. See WP:RS for what makes a reliable source on Misplaced Pages. - MrOllie (talk) 13:34, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for this. I researched overnight and the resource does actually list and profile the 393 serviced office providers currently operating in London, as they state. I cannot find any other resource that does this. I don't believe the information should be included without a citation, though. Is your advice to omit this information?

Draft:Gaphor Removing COI Templates

Hi MrOllie, you reverted my changes to remove the COI templates on Draft:Gaphor citing that new editors should not remove them. The Template:COI#When_to_remove page doesn't say being a new editor is part of the criteria and I think the issue is resolved on the talk page. It appears that the original editor has expertise in this area, and I verified what is written. Is there some other criteria or rule that I am missing? Terilica (talk) 02:11, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Terilica, The article is still largely the product of COI editing, the issue is not resolved. If/when the article makes it through the AFC review, it should be removed then. MrOllie (talk) 02:22, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
