A new reference tool

Hello Books & Bytes subscribers. There is a new Visual Editor reference feature in development called Citoid. It is designed to "auto-fill" references using a URL or DOI. We would really appreciate you testing whether TWL partners' references work in Citoid. Sharing your results will help the developers fix bugs and improve the system. If you have a few minutes, please visit the testing page for simple instructions on how to try this new tool. Regards, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

A problem shared is a problem halved......

Hey Jim, Frigatebird is just languishing.....wanna collaborate and punt it over the GA/FA line? Also asked Anna Frodesiak (talk · contribs), who's made some nice bird lists like on some articles Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:10, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Deleted page Radiona

Hi. I have just recreated page Radiona, removing content that was problematic. Please bare in mind that I, as probably any new user, am just learning to use wikipedia and syntax, so we might need more time to figure things out. I think your reaction might have been to quick. I was trying to fix the issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Izumitelj (talk • contribs) 15:48, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

G11

Hi Jim, could you restore Idea Cellular. It's listed under Template:Major Indian companies. User:Dkinred had also nominated iPhone, Microsoft Lumia and other popular articles for deletion under G11. NeilN reverted almost all of the speedy tags, but this seems to have slipped through. - NQ (talk) 08:59, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

User:Maravha shaka et al

Thank youJimfbleak
I was in the process of courtesy blanking that userpage, when you deleted it. I was concerned at the identifying information on it, the Twitter, Facebook etc. Moot now! You saved me e-mailing Oversight. 220 of 12:07, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

I was going to say "Dont be surprised if they recreate it", and they did! I have now directed them to an appropriate help page. And advised them not to recreate the page as it was. 220 of 12:19, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Unblock request

Deity Music (talk · contribs) has requested an unblock. They seem to have covered both elements of the block sufficiently - a new name, and a pledge to refrain from any edits related to their COI. Any objections to removing the block? Kuru (talk) 13:16, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Deleted page about Roman Zlotnikov

Hallo Jimfbleak!
You have removed the page about the Russian writer Roman Zlotnikov, but I can not understand why? One reason has been specified advertising, but no advertising was not there. Maybe you can help me with this page? Thanks! Ivanzlot (talk) 22:40, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Page Deletion

Hello Jim, Can I save the article "Vasily romanenkov" on my sandbox, where I could add the necessary references and facts, so I could then post on Misplaced Pages? MedeaMargosvhili (talk)

Deleting a page for a hoax

Hey. Apparently you deleted a page relating to the upcoming WWE PPV on July 4th and the reason for it was because it was a blatant hoax, which is far from the truth. The PPV is happening on the WWE Network as seen here so no, it is not a blatant hoax. Just wanted to clear that up. Thanks. Scottyxander (talk) 02:05, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

PR request

Hello. I noticed your name on the list of prolific FA writers, and I wondered if you would be interested in taking a look at Misplaced Pages:Peer review/Chetro Ketl/archive1. Thanks! RO 20:30, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Deleted Page - Singtel CIS

Hi Jim,

You have deleted this page 'Singtel CIS (Corporate Individual Scheme)' because of unambiguous advertising. There is no advertising there as I have kept it very objective. The purpose of this article is to inform people what 'Singtel CIS' means as it is a widely used term in Singapore for employee mobile benefits in many organisations but there are many people who still ask in forums what the acronym means and write to my organisation 'Singtel' to ask about it as they have heard many people talking about this acronym. Pls help to restore the page and tell me what I should do to make it better for wikipedia standards. Thanks! Digimanst (talk) 09:47, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jim,

Thank you for your comments. I would like to request the undeletion of this article. Please restore the page as I intend to work on it and I will remove any promotional tone and include independent verifiable sources. Thanks! Digimanst (talk) 02:00, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Dream Bowl

You have deleted the page I created 'the dream bowl' because of unambiguous advertising. There is no advertising there as I have kept it very objective. The purpose of this article is to inform people what 'The Dream Bowl' is. The national bowl which is very similar to the dream bowl has a page so what is the difference? Pls help to restore the page and tell me what I should do to make it better for wikipedia standards. Thanks Marisa Mammaturo (talk) 14:18, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Eryc Taylor

Hello,

You have recently deleted Eryc Taylor from Wikipidia. I am a Grad Student who has recently seen some of his works, and would like to make a WIKI page for him. However, When i tried to make a page for Eryc Taylor Dance Inc., it was deleted for plagerism and promoting his brand? I felt like it was a very objective take on his work, and I recieve permission from Eryc himself to use his website BIO information. What do i need to provide in order for the wiki page "Eryc Taylor" to be in compliance with WIKI rules?

Resonance Kota

C'mon now, you can't possibly justify G11-ing an article that was previously kept at AfD. WilyD 06:58, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Block evasion

Please block the obvious sock Againt frustrated chauvinist slovak IP (talk · contribs). This account restored info added by the previous confirmed socks Invetorlist (talk · contribs) and Inventiorlist (talk · contribs). 213.229.69.40 (talk) 06:06, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

OK, 213.229.69.40, that's done. I've no idea of the rights and wrongs of the relevant article, but it's clear block evasion anyway. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:12, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Terence Coyle Page

I submitted a page about the American artist Terence Coyle. It has not yet been published. Could you let me know what improvements I could make that would make it publishable? Thanks. My login name is HccDoll. Hccdoll (talk) 20:11, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

DS at Kombucha

The following article needs your attention. My edits are reverted each time I try to correct policy violations because of noncompliant material. I no sooner made the edit that it was immediately reverted. The onus of restoring noncompliant material is on the editor who wants it restored. That is not what is happening. See . Something needs to be done, please? Atsme 17:40, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Help needed

Hi Jim,

Thank you for your feedback. I would need help in recreating the page. Also, the content which you are saying is taken from the copyright page is also written by me. I would like to know how I can authenticate the information. i would like to submit the article again. Please help. Komya 23 (talk) 12:16, 18 June 2015 (UTC)komya_23

Consider watching Kombucha?

Hi there Jim,

The reverts are continuing at Kombucha, making normal editing impossible. There is also some game playing going on; even after asking not to be templated anymore (I am not a new user) I received an "edit war" notice today after 1 revert of an edit that has no basis in the guidelines. This is a change to a well-sourced addition I made last night. If you are able to just look in to ensure guidelines are being followed and no games are being played, that would be most appreciated. Pending that, what would you suggest? petrarchan47คุก 20:44, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

User:Petrarchan47, it looks as if another admin has protected the article. Never an ideal solution, since one side is bound to feel aggrieved, but at least it stops the warring and might give some time for discussion Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:30, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Most kind of you to respond. I think this is more of a behavioural issue, though, which needs an objective observer. There are long time users completely misrepresenting the guidelines and being vindictive with edit warring templates, as well as tag teaming. Regardless of the state of the article, this behaviour isn't going to change until it is addressed. If you have any suggestions regarding that, I'm all ears. Gratefully, petrarchan47คุก 06:16, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
