Hi VQuakr! I am still a n00b so don't know if you get a notification, but I left a reply to you on my talk page regarding GNH. Thanks!! --TheQw 20:21, 2 April 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheQw (talk • contribs) By the way, forgot to add - I think the page should actually be renamed "Gross National Happiness Index of Bhutan" as some people might not know what GNH stands for, plus there are other GNH indices out there. Is that possible, or should I (if the community agrees) start a new page with the correct title? Thanks for your help! --TheQw 20:53, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
CEO
Hi,
I agree with you that being the CEO of a notable organisation is a CCS. However, according to what I've been told recently (see this and this), CEO is, believe it or not, not a strong connexion and therefore not significant. I sense another iteration of this discussion coming up, do you? Adam9007 (talk) 20:54, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Adam9007: what does a "strong connexion" have to do with anything? I do not see where any spelling variant of that appears at WP:CSD. VQuakr (talk) 23:13, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- The RfC that says significance can be inherited if there is a strong association with a notable entity is mainly why such a connexion is considered significant by some. You participated in it and said CEO of a notable company is a CCS. CEO falling under the description of "strong association" has been challenged. Adam9007 (talk) 23:21, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- Heh, I didn't remember that at all. It seems like too much focus is being made on the "case law" RfC aspect; speedy deletion is meant to be for unambiguous cases. Could the GNG be plausibly met for the subject, based on the claims in the article? If yes, then the article contains a CCS. VQuakr (talk) 23:26, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- And therein lies the problem: even that is subjective. What we think is plausible may not be (often isn't) what others think is. It's the perfect recipe for conflict. I should know: I've had enough of it. Needless to say, I haven't been in a gay mood lately
. Adam9007 (talk) 23:54, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry to hear your mood has been affected. This is a website; it shouldn't do that. VQuakr (talk) 05:05, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Visit West Japan article
Hello,
I would like to retrieve my article for improvement so it might be accepted in the future. Can I make it a draft?Maria Faith Tabotabo Tijani (talk) 02:08, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, @Maria Faith Tabotabo Tijani:. You'll need to contact the admin, Jimfbleak, or post a request at WP:REFUND. I tagged the article for deletion, but cannot delete or undelete articles. VQuakr (talk) 05:07, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
The article move you just carried out...
... did you see the notice at the top of the article, pointing out that a Requested Move discussion was (and still is) taking place? Exemplo347 (talk) 19:12, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, closing it now. VQuakr (talk) 19:14, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
Non-POV editing
Would it be inappropriate for me to ask you, as an administrator, whether I have a basis for making a complaint against an editor for POV-pushing and general non-neutral editing? I want to do this properly, and I'm not sure if I have a basis for requesting sanctions. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 21:27, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- Actually, perhaps you are not an editor. Could you help all the same? L.R. Wormwood (talk) 21:31, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- @L.R. Wormwood: you are correct that I am not an admin. Can I suggest NeilN as a likely better source of sound advice? VQuakr (talk) 21:58, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- Much obliged. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 23:50, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- I have since changed my mind, but thank you for your help anyway. L.R. Wormwood (talk) 01:26, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

nnCron article
New links added. What's up with "deletion process"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esniper (talk • contribs) 14:02, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Esniper: Proposed deletion is a lightweight process; you can just remove the tag from the top of the article if you think it meets the GNG. I see a bunch (too many probably) of cites back to nncron.ru/help/* and a few links to download sites, but nothing that would convey notability. Which source or sources do you think best show notability as defined at WP:GNG? VQuakr (talk) 20:09, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
Inappropriate External Links
Hi VQuakr, can you please offer guidance re: inappropriate external links for the Ashley Mary Nunes page? I've looked through the page but am unsure which links you're referring to (IMDB perhaps?), but I will gladly remove them. Please advise - thank you! Dr Fun111 (talk) 21:49, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Dr Fun111: several of the "sources" on the page did/do not mention the subject. The edit that prompted my warning was this, in which you restored some without any comment. VQuakr (talk) 23:36, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
I just removed the external links that did not mention the subject. I also omitted the Early Life section. I was unsure if I could link to the subject's website for bio information. I saw this done on another horror actress’ Misplaced Pages page (Jessica Cameron) but wanted to make sure it was ok? (Dr Fun111 (talk) 04:06, 23 April 2017 (UTC))
- @Dr Fun111: there is nothing wrong with primary sources as long as the information doesn't promote the subject, isn't contentious, and doesn't form the primary basis of the article. VQuakr (talk) 04:37, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
Notification of Syrian Civil War general sanctions
Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Misplaced Pages. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.
A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

- Heh, the self-awareness is strong in this one... VQuakr (talk) 18:25, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, it is. And since you are well aware that "self-published expert sources may be considered reliable"(your emphasis), this is nothing but harassment. Erlbaeko (talk) 12:39, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
- Again with the cherry-picking quotes from policy. Personal attack noted. VQuakr (talk) 17:39, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
