When leaving me a message, please DO NOT ADDRESS ME AS SIR. If you do, there's a good chance I won't answer

This user wishes she was back in Turks and Caicos But this in no way affects Chrissymad's ability to respond. She just wants everyone to know.

UVM

Hi,

In regards to UVM, you stated that my changes were promotional. I believe that at least the Online Training for UVM should have been left. That was written by one of Aldec's language experts and Research Engineer and it provides readers a free training to learn UVM. It only provides people with a resource to aid those interested in learning more about UVM instead of it being promotional. More information about the online training by Aldec for UVM can be found here. I hope that this can be reconsidered.

Requesting Re-Review : Ashwin Vinayagamoorthy

Hey Chrissy, first of all thank you for evaluating my article. I've made all the changes as mentioned with note of reliable sources and references. This is my first article and I am really looking forward to getting it accepted. Please let me know if it needs any improvements. Thank you so much.

Please let the West Coast Racers page be, as this is already a notable enough project and people will likely add on to it with more news sources, images, and appropriate refs. In the meantime, you are disappointing the coaster community, and I suggest you let it be so it can grow and be read. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erik James Kaspersetz (talk • contribs) 20:05, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Unwarranted assumption

I see that there are currently messages on this page from two different editors who address you as "sir", and another one in your latest talk page archive. I, on the other hand, have not been addressed as "sir" in at least the last 1000 edits to my talk page. I wonder why so many people assume you are male. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:38, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

JamesBWatson I wonder daily myself since I've never met a male named "Chrissy" ;) CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:41, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Don't forget about Chrissy Boy. Natureium (talk) 20:13, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Personally, I am happy not to be addressed as "sir", because to me it has a feel of cringing sycophancy, as well as being stiff and over formal. However, the fact that you get it so often and I so rarely puzzles me. I have now checked back and the last time I got a "sir" on my talk page was in May 2017, not far short of 2000 talk page edits ago, while you get it quite frequently. What do I do that discourages editors from calling me "sir"? There must be something. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:06, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

• You could always do like Premeditated Chaos did and put the “obnoxious pink userbox” up. I’ve been told it works :p TonyBallioni (talk) 15:09, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
• I'm not sure, Mrs. Watson. You could always add "sir" to your signature, and take out that pseudonym part. Drmies (talk) 20:08, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

"I never thought I'd be able to say this but, per Ritchie" I resemble that remark! :-P Anyway, I'm pleased to see you've started doing stuff at Women in Red. Contrary to the yelling I've had from third parties on this talk page and elsewhere, I am not averse to you running at RfA full stop and have never expressed the view you should never be an admin, ever. If you can get some content under your belt and understand why a softer and diplomatic touch is a good thing to have at times, then I'd be happy to point you at WP:AIV, WP:SPI and WP:RFPP and say "have at it". A key point is you are interested in stuff that bores me to tears, and that's a big plus point for me, and if we get to the stage where I would support you, I'm pretty sure about 200 other people would follow suit.

2018 Chemnitz stabbing attack: Why did you undo my edit?

Hi Chrissy, I made a minor edit to the article about the "2018 Chemnitz stabbing attack". I removed a comment that claimed the term "Lügenpresse" was a Nazi creation. This is simply not true, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lying_press#History. I was surprised to see you had undone my minor edit and I'd like to know why? I was also surprised to find that I'm no longer able to edit that page, I'd like an explanation for that too? 2602:306:C414:C120:9527:2685:1E23:D243 (talk) 20:27, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) That sentence has been restored to the article. Your edit was removed as collateral damage along with some other quite horrific material that had been added to the page by a bunch of IPs. Accordingly, people without accounts are unfortunately no longer able to edit that page. If you have any other things you would like to add, you may request them at Talk:2018 Chemnitz stabbing attack. Bradv 20:32, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

WikiCup 2018 September newsletter

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:

• Courcelles scored a magnificent 4869 points, with 92 good articles on Olympics-related themes. Courcelles' bonus points alone exceeded the total score of any of the other contestants!
• Kees08 was second with 1155 points, including a high-scoring featured article for Neil Armstrong, two good topics and some Olympics-related good articles.
• Cas Liber, with 1066 points, was in third place this round, with two featured articles and a good article, all on natural history topics.
• Other contestants who qualified for the final round were Nova Crystallis, Iazyges, SounderBruce, Kosack and Ceranthor.

During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

ICOC HotNews

I see you had some questions about this as a RS. It is a church newspaper with an editorial board and a professional journalist writing articles for them. Last time I checked those constituted RS, particularly for non-controversial matters like membership numbers. Why the concerns? JamieBrown2011 (talk) 05:01, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

To be clear, this is the edit I am referring to [1] If you don't have reason to claim NRS, I am inclined to revert, but would love to hear your thoughts. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 07:03, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Have a Heart Compassion Care

Could you please give a reason for your speedy deletion request? If you compare this article to those of the companies listed by wikipedia in the same category on the page, you will see that there are more sources and information and it in no way is "promotional."

Please see the article on MedMen, a very similar company. This is what I used as a basis to make mine.

What can I change to make it not promotional in your eyes?

Thank You.

On PolySwarm

I added multiple citations to the Draft:PolySwarm article and included a new section on the strategic approach of the company to open the marketplace to everyone, something that will help disadvantaged minorities and women. This new approach is notable in the cybersecurity world where most of the work is siloed. There are also a few tweaks to make the tone more neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14D:4100:12FD:D481:9F53:2F4A:4806 (talk) 12:50, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Baggalútur

You have asked for the speedy deletion of Baggalútur, Wikipedia article on one of the biggest and long-standing bands of Iceland, an article I had created in January 2014. The reason given for the "speedy" being a copyright violation from a so-called page https://play.google.com/store/music/artist/Utangar%C3%B0smenn?id=Aoq2hsbxum5lfn5kokwapyjpoc4&hl=en a page about a mere one album and tracklist, whereas the page I created enumerates 11 albums by the band from 2005 to 2015. The page you indicate also says: Description provided by Wikipedia under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 4.0 meaning they had taken from our Wikipedia page at a later date, and not that we were copying from them. And now those lines they copied from us at Wikipedia are grounds for speedy deletion of our Wikipedia page to deprive our readers of vital information about an Icelandic band selling 11 studio albums and countless hits on Icelandic charts over the years? And how about this song "Mamma þarf að djamma" staying 13 weeks at number one in Iceland becoming the biggest hit of Iceland that year? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH4lVfueYF4 You should seriously reconsider what is just a rush job of a vital article, a judgement made on totally erroneous grounds as I indicated above. A brief look at the Icelandic page of the article will also prove the great notability of the band werldwayd (talk) 20:11, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Notable or not it's insanely promotional so it doesn't address the other side of the speedy which is G11. If it's a vital article, you should have no problem finding appropriate sources and neutral wording. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:13, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

To do that as you requested, the speedy deletion should be removed and we must be given enough time. Google Play copies thousands of articles from us, so blindly following texts from there to blame us is out of place. I've reread the article and it just describes the band in very few words and no promotion whatsoever. I am not from Iceland and have no relation whatsoever. You should spend more time on articles and the effort editors put to prepare article about non-English subjects where almost all the literature is in local language, before issuing such value judgements. It hads a few facts and a listing taken from the Icelandic page. What is so promotional about that, if I may ask. I will work on this urgently to save it from oblivion, but a little consideration to fellow colleagues should have been considered. The fact of the matter is that this article has been here for years and there is no need to speedy delete it. werldwayd (talk) 20:22, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Many thanks. Much appreciated. On to other articles then. One article more, one article less, who cares. English Wikipedia readers do not need to be "promoted to" about an Icelandic band they shouldn't care about I guess. werldwayd (talk) 20:50, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Request on 11:30:24, 6 September 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Vishalinfidigit

• Vishalinfidigit (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Zivame (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi Chrissymad,

Thanks for updating about the COI (Conflict of Interest).
Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest

I have read this page & would like to disclose about the COI.

Zivame is our client & we do Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for them. We discovered that they don't have any Wikipedia Page. Zivame is a famous lingerie brand & have multiple outlets within the different region in India. Therefore, we took this opportunity to create a page. Asked Zivame team to collect strong Notability URLs more than 5 in the count. Later, we have updated the content as per the Wikipedia Guidelines. And we were waiting for the review.

In terms of the Costing:
"Editors with a COI, including paid editors, are expected to disclose it whenever they seek to change an affected article's content. Anyone editing for pay must disclose who is paying them, who the client is, and any other relevant affiliation; this is a requirement of the Wikimedia Foundation. Also, COI editors should not edit affected articles directly, but propose changes on article talk pages instead."

We didn't ask any additional cost from Zivame team. It's normal monthly billing which we charge as basic SEO with Indian standard rates.

Feeback:

• Is this information good enough to make this Zivame Page live?
• If there are any changes in content than please address it so that I will try my best to keep it natural & neutral

Prior Submit Experience:

1. I did try adding Infidigit Consultant Pvt Ltd Page, however, it was promotional / less notability it got rejected. Now I am waiting for more notability sources so that I can try it again.
   
   

Conclusion:
I like Wikipedia very much, have read lots of articles & also helped me a lot in everything. Therefore, in return if I can contribute something nothing like it.

Do let me know your thoughts on how to make this page live.
Just started with Wikipedia & will try to add value to it.

Best Regards,
Vishal Gohel

Because it takes two minutes to see that not a single one of those sources are useful. They're almost exclusively primary and/or download links/non-reliable. You need to tone down your attitude. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 15:08, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

no, that is not the question at all. The question is, if the article is addresses a notable topic. The game exists for years, is in active development , has million of dpwnloads , hundredthousand of inclusions on coverdisks, so yes i believe it is notable by popular impact. The “indirect" but for admins convenient way for assesing notability are so called "reliable" sources. The article has, so i want to see the indibidually discussed or this is not an review but just stomach feelingShaddim (talk) 15:26, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
