== Requesting assistance with personal attacks involving our attempted upload and insertion of a show title card at article The World Tomorrow (radio and television) == | |||
Sir, | |||
I am new to Misplaced Pages. I am the President of the Church of God Worldwide; The World Tomorrow Evangelistic Association and, CEO and producer for the subject corresponding Misplaced Pages article "The World Tomorrow (radio and television). My name is Earl Timmons. Several years ago, three of our long running Christian out-reach TV shows title cards were successfully uploaded, approved and inserted into the Misplaced Pages article. One was black and white from the early days of our shows inception in the 1960's, another from the 1980's and a current rendition. However, after over one year on the site, the photos were removed and deleted. For over three years hence, many of our supporter's, be they church members the world over, or fans and viewers of our world renowned telecast, have tried to upload even one representative current show title card to the article. Yet, each time it is rejected almost immediately, many times without discussion. We have even used the same methods used at other well known sitcom Misplaced Pages pages such as FRIENDS; Family Guy; MASH; Seinfield, and used the exact same parameters and methods of uploading other editors have used at those specific page articles for example, yet the title card is deleted over and over again. Now, I was informed, as the sole copyright and trademark owner, (THE WORLD TOMORROW (radio and television)) is in my personal name, I had to do the upload and grant consent and identify myself as the copyright and trademark holder at the time of the upload. The uploaded image has been correctly submitted recently at Commons, AND at WIKIPEDIA File Upload Wizard. But now I am being subjected to accusations which involve a catch-22 by a user known here as Barek. Barek has wrongly accused me of self-identifying, and he has accused me of sock and meat puppetry. Barek is no friend of our church organization. We believe the article has been taken over by ex-members or dissidents who have camped out and placed a permanent protection template on the article so that no positive updates can be made to the article, or even a simple title card insertion request. Our show is said to be controversial, by those that attend the Catholic, Babtist and mainstream evangelical churches who worship on Sunday, the first day of the week. We worship as Christ Himself did, on the seventh day; Saturday. A current hit film called Hacksaw Ridge, a true story, is of the same subject matter the very controversial Christ ordained 7th day Saturday Sabbath versus the Catholic church changed Sunday sabbath. This article in question has had many disruptive edits in recent days, one by user Doug Weller who has launched a personal attack and wrong accusations toward my account, and user Barek, who feigns friendship, but for years he also has been involved in camping at this article and making destructive edits to its content, even removing well sourced and long established entire sections. User Barek feigns assisting with the upload and insertion but as a super editor he will not take volunteer himself as he said he would to insert the requested photo. Rather, he has worked to attack and falsely label me as some other users. Just late last night, my username was unjustly without cause disabled and upon surprise inspection this morning, reactivated. As the producer of this television series, I am shocked at the level of bullying and immature behavior I have experienced as a first time new account holder. | |||
The page in question has many issues which revolve around the ones discussed, invluding outdated content and factual errors. If Misplaced Pages does not honor this simple request to insert the show title card photo to the article within 72 hours, as the sole copyright and trademark claimant and owner, I will be submitting a demand and takedown injunction to Misplaced Pages Legal for the article to be completely redacted under our United States Legal rights and governing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. We simply do not wish a handful of disgruntled disruptive users camped out at the article here on Misplaced Pages to subvert and misuse content pertaining to our television series in this ongoing disruptive destructive manner. ] (]) 20:50, 2 December 2016 (UTC)dollyparton7 | |||

Hello there BOTFIGHTER! I am FiendYT, an editor that has been on Misplaced Pages for only about 1-3 months. We can help each other out with making articles. How's the idea? FiendYT (talk) 02:53, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gajpanth, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Adinatha (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Vasant Vihar
Hello, I have read this article Vasant Vihar, it is full (almost whole) writing goes against the rule of NPOV OR Neutral Point Of View. To inform you there are many places in India of name 'Vasant Vihar', at least this article should have written the article name as 'Vasant Vihar, Delhi', I there is one place called Vasant Vihar in Thane city too. The article looks (written things and photos) like it is an advertise, please check this out. Regards BOTFIGHTER (talk) 11:20, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- BOT, the Speedy Deletion page seems to be the wrong place for this comment. Anyway, you can relatively easily rename the article. Next to the watchlist star is a menu labeled "More". One of the options is move. Move means rename. Choose the move option and enter the new name for the article in the box that follows. Thanks, Oiyarbepsy (talk) 12:59, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- How to rename can you please tell me User:Oiyarbepsy.BOTFIGHTER (talk) 09:04, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
- I already told you. Please read my comment again. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 15:41, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
- Please read WP:MOS. You can leave it precisely where it is. We have no need to rename it. We have very precise methods of disambiguating places of the same name. Fiddle Faddle 15:49, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Goenka & Associates Educational Trust
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Goenka & Associates Educational Trust requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Norvoid (talk) 16:15, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Gajpanth
Hello, BOTFIGHTER. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Gajpanth at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Corinne (talk) 18:52, 19 February 2016 (UTC) |
Just a note: I linked "Balbhadra" to Jainism#Cosmology because I couldn't find anything better. (I was surprised not to find the term in the larger article Jain cosmology.) If you can find a better article to which we can link "Balbhadra", please feel free to change it. Corinne (talk) 18:52, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for that, Gajpanth is the right article to link with "Balbhadra", but I have mentioned it before too that my article does not require any copy editing, it is all right I cannot write the exact spelling or pronunciation as it is not a English word this is whole article contains many words which are not in English but in languages like Hindi, Marathi, Prakrut, Sanskrit and many more, the people who made this language didn't gave us the right pronunciation in English, there are many English pronunciation for the same words, this point must be noted! Thank you Corinne!BOTFIGHTER (talk) 12:01, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- I'm glad you found an article for the link. I'm not sure to which article you are referring when you say, "My article does not require any copy editing". Which article? Corinne (talk) 15:16, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

- Thank you for clarifying. I don't understand your statement, above, that "I have mentioned it before too that my article does not require any copy editing". You posted a request for a copy-edit at the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests on 9 February 2016, and I accepted and completed the assignment. See the list at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests/Archives/2016. Also, your use of the phrase "my article" suggests that you have a feeling of ownership over the article. Please see WP:OWN. You wrote, above, "Thanks for that". It looks like your thanks refer to either my linking of "Balbhadra" to Jainism#Cosmology or to my informing you that I had done so. So, instead of thanking me for copy-editing the article, you tell me that your article "doesn't require any copy editing". Very strange. – Corinne (talk) 14:15, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Invite to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Misplaced Pages:The 10,000 Challenge and Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Misplaced Pages:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 01:17, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

- That's not correct my brother you are a miracle creature from God!(any god) You are just helping people(volunteering) and I am busy in my world in my useless things; I should be proud that there are people who care for others I have not contributed much, but I will appreciate you for your work my friend Ser Amantio di Nicolao! You are great!!!!!! 16:47, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Requesting assistance with personal attacks involving our attempted upload and insertion of a show title card at article The World Tomorrow (radio and television)
Sir,
I am new to Misplaced Pages. I am the President of the Church of God Worldwide; The World Tomorrow Evangelistic Association and, CEO and producer for the subject corresponding Misplaced Pages article "The World Tomorrow (radio and television). My name is Earl Timmons. Several years ago, three of our long running Christian out-reach TV shows title cards were successfully uploaded, approved and inserted into the Misplaced Pages article. One was black and white from the early days of our shows inception in the 1960's, another from the 1980's and a current rendition. However, after over one year on the site, the photos were removed and deleted. For over three years hence, many of our supporter's, be they church members the world over, or fans and viewers of our world renowned telecast, have tried to upload even one representative current show title card to the article. Yet, each time it is rejected almost immediately, many times without discussion. We have even used the same methods used at other well known sitcom Misplaced Pages pages such as FRIENDS; Family Guy; MASH; Seinfield, and used the exact same parameters and methods of uploading other editors have used at those specific page articles for example, yet the title card is deleted over and over again. Now, I was informed, as the sole copyright and trademark owner, (THE WORLD TOMORROW (radio and television)) is in my personal name, I had to do the upload and grant consent and identify myself as the copyright and trademark holder at the time of the upload. The uploaded image has been correctly submitted recently at Commons, AND at WIKIPEDIA File Upload Wizard. But now I am being subjected to accusations which involve a catch-22 by a user known here as Barek. Barek has wrongly accused me of self-identifying, and he has accused me of sock and meat puppetry. Barek is no friend of our church organization. We believe the article has been taken over by ex-members or dissidents who have camped out and placed a permanent protection template on the article so that no positive updates can be made to the article, or even a simple title card insertion request. Our show is said to be controversial, by those that attend the Catholic, Babtist and mainstream evangelical churches who worship on Sunday, the first day of the week. We worship as Christ Himself did, on the seventh day; Saturday. A current hit film called Hacksaw Ridge, a true story, is of the same subject matter the very controversial Christ ordained 7th day Saturday Sabbath versus the Catholic church changed Sunday sabbath. This article in question has had many disruptive edits in recent days, one by user Doug Weller who has launched a personal attack and wrong accusations toward my account, and user Barek, who feigns friendship, but for years he also has been involved in camping at this article and making destructive edits to its content, even removing well sourced and long established entire sections. User Barek feigns assisting with the upload and insertion but as a super editor he will not take volunteer himself as he said he would to insert the requested photo. Rather, he has worked to attack and falsely label me as some other users. Just late last night, my username was unjustly without cause disabled and upon surprise inspection this morning, reactivated. As the producer of this television series, I am shocked at the level of bullying and immature behavior I have experienced as a first time new account holder.
The page in question has many issues which revolve around the ones discussed, invluding outdated content and factual errors. If Misplaced Pages does not honor this simple request to insert the show title card photo to the article within 72 hours, as the sole copyright and trademark claimant and owner, I will be submitting a demand and takedown injunction to Misplaced Pages Legal for the article to be completely redacted under our United States Legal rights and governing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. We simply do not wish a handful of disgruntled disruptive users camped out at the article here on Misplaced Pages to subvert and misuse content pertaining to our television series in this ongoing disruptive destructive manner.
