Good Morning, I hope I am writing in the correct place to reply about the reliable source. I personally know and have worked with DeRay Davis as his road manager, vice president of his production and development company, credited personal assistant and executive personal assistant, all credited on his movies, please see his/our imdb pages. I am the reliable source who has known and worked with him professionally and domestically since 2001. He asked me to update both his bio and his wiki page. His name has been spelled wrong (Antwan is not how his name is spelled it's actually Antoine DeRay Davis) He told me to please remove the Barbershop Movies as what he's "known for" because he's starred in over 100 different productions feature film and television shows since his Barbershop cameo as Ray-Ray in 2000. He's currently working on the FX Pilot Snowfall created by John Singleton. I can provide my phone number if you'd like or references in DeRay himself, or his agent April Lim or his PA Manager Joel Zadak, both of them know me personally and will vouch for my credibility as a reliable source. I just met with DeRay Tuesday morning and we continue to be in touch. I am a part of his family now. I was actually in the mother of his daughter's wedding as a brides made this past summer. Pictures on social media pages or however I can show you as proof of my being the reliable source. I truly hope I provided what you need. My apologies for not being well versed in html code. my bio page is http://sylviavhillman.com our imdb pages where you can see I have movie credits as his personal assistant are (please bear with me while I grab the links) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2265227/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Have a beautiful day! SylviaHillman (talk) 14:32, 30 October 2015 (UTC)Sylvia V. Hillman


 * This is the right place and hello again. You'll need to provide references for his name, unfortunately, rather than using yourself as a source, but as you've worked with him I'm sure that won't be a problem. His page will need to be moved], which I can do for you when you add the references. If you have a connection to the subject, known as a [[WP:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest, you will need to declare this on the article's talk page. Edits from users with a conflict of interest are advised against, but it won't be a problem if you are simply fixing a factual error like the spelling of his name. Thanks for letting me know and have a great day yourself, --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 14:40, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your swift reply! When you say references I wonder what you mean. I saw the reference for the guy that spelled it Antwan said he was on a phone call with him and it became official Wiki info. Do you mean public records or drivers license? Again please excuse me for being daft. SylviaHillman (talk) 14:46, 30 October 2015 (UTC)Sylvia V. Hillman


 * Generally, reliable sources are ones with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, such as a respected newspaper, but in the case of somebody's name official documents like a driver's license whould be sufficient. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 14:52, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Anibal Sánchez
Hello,

First, there's no reference currently on Anibal's page that proves that his first name has an accent over the 'i'. Second, the proof I have to offer that there is no accent over the 'i' in his first name (nor is it pronounced "a-NEE-bal") is that his name on both his verified Twitter page and Facebook page doesn't have an accent over the 'i', but they both have his last name with an accent over the 'a'.

Thanks.

Okay, thanks. You need to explain this in your edit summary: if this is the case, the page may also need to be moved. Remember to write ~ in your edit summary. Thanks, --Rubbish computer 01:08, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi. You tagged the article Association of Business Executives for speedy deletion as lacking context, but that speedy deletion criterion is not to be used when there is a clear subject.

Muhammad Raziuddin Siddiqui
Dear Rubbish computer,

Thanks for your work on this nuclear scientist. The section on his education with big names is not supported by the sources: these sloppy texts state that he studied at universities where Einstein, Dirac and Heisenberg walked around, but was he really taught by them? Einstein had no students, but some collaborators and did not give course lectures. Dirac and Heisenberg? S. just dropped in on their course lectures if they gave any? There are no German or British sources on S. attendance. The article seems biased - "nuclear deterrence"?, a national hero? So let's take these bold statements out? Regards, Hansmuller (talk) 12:49, 20 July 2015 (UTC) Thank you. I agree that the article is biased. Rubbish computer 12:50, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

dear talk rubbish; I learned decades ago the truth is always constructive...you should verify facts before you change anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sticksboss1 (talk • contribs) 00:12, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I am unsure of what you are trying to say. Your edit was reverted because it did not conform to Neutral point of view; articles must not take sides on Wikipedia, but must instead explain both sides fairly and without bias. Your edit was also unsourced: per WP:Verifiability, readers must be able to check to see that pages are not just made up, through sources being cited.

Proposed deletion of Warnbro Sound


The article Warnbro Sound has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Substub and no interest in writing a stub

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

AutoEd
Here is the diff for ease of access. You are not doing anything wrong, it is just that the things you altered on Duchess of Richmond's Ball are not necessarily things that need correcting as they are not errors/mistakes in the first place.

1) For example there is a guideline on WP:CITEVAR it says "Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style merely on the grounds of personal preference, to make it match other articles, or without first seeking consensus for the change."

In this case the list of citations all went: * {{ You went through and change that to: *{{ Ie you altered a specific style. One reason for discouraging that sort of change is it makes very large diff for something that does not change the visual appearance or the page. Such noise makes it more difficult to see substantive changes using diff. If the page had contained a mish mash of * {{ *{{ Then you would be justified in harmonising it, but not as it already had a style.


 * Another change that can made a very large change in the diffs is adding or subtracting a line straight after a section header. That particular change is quite disruptive in comparison to the changes you made to this page.

2) There is nothing wrong with [[s: but equally there is nothing wrong with [[wikisource: (neither is displayed) and the latter is more self documenting. Likewise with [[wikt: and [[Wiktionary

3) Finally we come to changing "&amp;ndash;" to "–" I do that one as well (but it makes no difference to the display), but if I am using automated tools, I only change those if I am making other changes.

If you changes had only altered (2) and (3) I would have let it ride (although as I sand I think "wikisource" is better than "s"), but I think (1) was a large unnecessary change.

 * I can't answer your question (because I do not use AutoEd). You will have to ask someone else, I suggest that you start by asking where best to ask for help at Help desk or maybe at Wikipedia talk:AutoEd. -- PBS (talk) 15:29, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Jimbo's Talk page
I'm a bit of a regular on Jimbo's Talk page. A lot of the discussions there are very complainy and I like to turn them around into a more productive discussion focused on solutions to problems. Most people there know that I'm a paid editor, though I think widely considered to be one of the better, more honest ones. I'm actually Wikipedia's most prolific author of ranked content about companies (content that is reviewed by independent editors and found to meet high standards), and most of that was done in a sponsored capacity.

On the first post, I added a disclosure at the end of my signature saying "sometimes a paid editor" or something like that, but to avoid any confusion I wanted to make sure you saw it.

My comments are informed by working with more than 30 article-subjects that I wrote "Good Article"-ranked pages for, and hundreds of other article-subjects I've consulted, where I advised them to abstain from Wikipedia, as is encouraged in most cases. CorporateM (Talk) 23:11, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

I saw it and I read through your userpage earlier as well; keep up the good work. Sorry to ask but who pays you? --Rubbish computer 23:13, 7 August 2015 (UTC)


 * It varies. Sometimes it's the article-subject (a company or person directly), whereas in other cases it is a PR or advertising agency. In one case it was a concerned family member. Right this second I'm working on an assessment for a book author and I'm thinking about whether it should be their publisher paying the bill. I usually disclose a financial connection or COI, but not who paid the bill exactly or how much. Usually if it's a GLAM-type organization where their conflict of interest is less significant, I refer them to Pete Forsyth. I mostly work on cases where they need a lot of consulting to avoid excessively self-benefiting edits. CorporateM (Talk) 00:02, 8 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks. It's odd how I got back to the computer at almost the same time as you replied. You're obviously transparent about what you do and I admire that. This must help reduce bias as without cooperation and understanding, editors would be pushing POVs far more. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. --Rubbish computer 00:08, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Some background on the gender gap
It was apparent many years ago that the majority of editors are male. A number of questions immediately sprang to mind:


 * 1) How many are of which gender?
 * 2) What is the cause?
 * 3) What effect does it have?

The research on even the first question was slow in coming, and not great when it arrived. An initial survey gave the 9% female so often quoted. Systemic flaws meant that was probably nearer 16%. Subsequently the %age has risen, perhaps because the Internet, in the Western world at least, has a much more even gender balance of users than 5 years ago.

The cause has been suggested to be many things, including:
 * 1) Because women don't like confrontation
 * 2) Because men are rude to women
 * 3) Because it's  a man's environment innately hostile to women (locker room theory)
 * 4) Because women don't have time to edit
 * 5) Because it's technical

and several more. The above have all been debunked to some extent.

The only research I am aware of that provides a partial answer suggests that it is related to confidence. The big unanswered question is "Is it something men like doing more than women?" We needn't bother ourselves as to whether that is nature or nurture, but if women are more disinclined to volunteer for encyclopaedia writing per se (and lets face it, almost all men are disinclined too) then we have another potential cause.

As to the effect, there is certain research that indicates that subjects of interest to women are less thoroughly covered than subjects of interest to men. This research has systemic issues though. Secondly there are some issues about the way that female biographies are presented and linked - it is by no means clear that this is as a result of the gender gap, indeed closing the gender gap might exacerbate it. Thirdly there appear to be more missing female biographies at the level that get one or two views a day. Again, while editathons focussed on adding female biographies can address this (in a very small way), it is not clear that closing the ratio between genders of editors will.

HTH. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 01:51, 20 August 2015 (UTC).


 * Thank you. I personally believe that a largely disproportionate number of Wikipedia contributors have Asperger's syndrome or related conditions such as high-functioning autism, or pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified. These conditions disproportionately affect males, influencing the overall proportion of editors by gender. This is a personal theory I have with pretty much no evidence to back it up, but it could perhaps be connected to it being something men like more than women. Rubbish computer 01:59, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Your belief is widely shared. Autists and aspies are often great systematisers.  They also tend to be rigid about rules, which causes problems.  I'm sure we have people on the spectrum at all levels.  All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 02:30, 20 August 2015 (UTC).


 * I knew it a shared belief, but nobody seemed to link it with the gender disparities, while I thought it was an obvious factor. I feel the social difficulties that come with this can affect Wikipedia. Rubbish computer 02:35, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

I have been considering for some time how we can help each type of editor to work more effectively. There is a good essay by User:ThatPeskyCommoner I think, I would like to establish a type of forum, somewhat like tea-house, where these issues can be discussed and resolved. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC).

Hi. I wanted to let you know, that your rollback of Rhode Island was reverted. While the editor did not leave an edit summary, the edit was valuable. It removed a duplicate reference.

Fortunately the power cut is having no effect on my mobile internet; I'm unsure as to how long it will last, though. Keep up the good work. Rubbish computer 16:42, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Haha! No I mean during the thunderstorm (if you was me), I wouldn't dare to play mobile phone as the lightning before the thunderstorm is really frightening me, especially when it hit the ground. Some people in my place sometimes making joke that if we hold some "iron or satellite" related thing during the thunderstorm, the lightning will chasing us. Btw, thanks, take care there! (Sorry for the late reply thought, I didn't realise you have reply this) ~ Muffin Wizard;) 08:25, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I used to not like lightning, but it doesn't happen much here anyway. It turns out our house's power tripped out, so it wasn't a power cut after all. Using a mobile during a thunderstorm could not be harmful, whereas using a landline telephone or computer could supposedly be if power lines were struck-although if that happens it will almost certainly cause a power cut instead, as electrical systems are designed to go off when there is a power surge, as this could otherwise be dangerous. You probably know this anyway but travelling in a car and using flights of steps are both much more dangerous than lightning: lightning can be dangerous, but you just need to avoid going out in it, and if you get stranded out in it (which would be terrifying), get into a ditch if possible. --Rubbish computer 09:10, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you are right. Everything in this life could be dangerous as life is like an adventure. Thanks for the compliment. But the most terrible thing is the flying roaches.

 * Haha, same here, I'm also have that fobia. But the most terrifying is when a type of black cobra snake like this one entering our house. Happen many times. Ever stuck in a room with this thing also, the black colour, ughhh. x_x ~ Muffin Wizard;) 10:02, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Wow! The most dangerous thing that gets into our house is wasps. I've just remembered we have a wasp nest in the shed. --Rubbish computer 10:06, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, in my life. I had already 9 times encountering snakes f2f. Of all the moments, two of it is a type of green tree snake. Luckily I managed to escape. Btw, you didn't ask someone to clean the nest? It could be so dangerous if any children going to play near the shed. ~ Muffin Wizard;) 10:15, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

We don't use it for anything and they'll be gone in a couple of weeks. Having said that, I think it is odd to just leave a wasp nest on your property and work around it. --Rubbish computer 10:18, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank god no one ever been attacked in your place. Did you plant many flower? ~ Muffin Wizard;) 10:23, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * There aren't any plants in the shed, they just went in and made a nest. The article wasp actually doesn't appear to include how they make nests; they chew wood into a pulp, then stick it together with saliva to make a paper-like substance. Rubbish computer 11:35, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

No, it is there, never mind. Rubbish computer 11:36, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes: at least they don't vomit in stuff and trample it, which is how flies eat-they effectively turn their food to liquid and drink it. It turns out that soon the queen wasp will leave to make a new nest, and all the other wasps will die. Just like that. Rubbish computer 00:05, 24 August 2015 (UTC) Snap!

 * Yeah, the queen usually have a much longer life than the soldier. Btw, did wasp also has a royal jelly? I'm usually eating this once, but when I discovered it is actually from the larvae. I stop eating it, feel want to vomit when knowing the truth. But the taste is still pretty good and good for our health. :)
 * Hee, seems you already been given a trust from the administrator and bureaucrats. (: ~ Muffin Wizard;) 00:28, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

I don't know about royal jelly but I've eaten kangaroo meat a couple of times and it is the best thing ever. To be honest, where royal jelly comes from is strange, but it is also strange that people take milk from cows that is meant for calves and drink it, and that people eat chicken eggs. Don't worry about it. Rubbish computer 00:43, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I bet that kangaroo meat put a bounce in your stride! Royal jelly is not "from" the larvae, it's from worker bees, and used to feed lavae. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 22:19, 24 August 2015 (UTC).

Hey!
Thanks for the feedback. If I give a link to the one an only time that Belichick talked about spygate, in which he doesn't mention which rule he misinterpreted, is that enough or do I need more? And if so, what else do I need? Agenice (talk) 22:46, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. It may or may not be acceptable to link to what you describe: this depends on whether it is supported by a reliable source: see WP:Reliable sources. Basically, to be included, it needs to be backed up by a source with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy. Thanks, Rubbish computer 22:55, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Having looked over the edit again,, I think you should know that Wikipedia has a policy of not including original research (WP:OR). Basically, don't include your own interpretation of events, even if you think it is accurate. The article needs to say, in its own words, what the reliable sources say, not what can be interpreted from this. Thanks, Rubbish computer 22:59, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Hey! If that is true, then why is there a mention of a rule that is never mentioned by Belichick or the NFL? Shouldn't there be a citation besides it as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agenice (talk • contribs) 23:05, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately important rules on Wikipedia have been broken in articles many thousands of times. Check the sources and if it definitely isn't there, you can add after the unsourced statement, or remove it: but if you remove it please explain why in your edit summary. Thanks, Rubbish computer 23:11, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Ok. Cool. Can I change it to say "it is believed that Belichick meant this rule " then list the rule and put the citation needed markup after that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agenice (talk • contribs) 00:42, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, that appears to be suitable. Rubbish computer 00:58, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Hey Rubbish! - I actually saw something in one of the other links on the page - http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2007/09/21/patriots_wont_be_hit_harder/ - The final paragraph in the article states that the rule Belichick was referring to in his statement was the one about polaroids. while the reporter does reference the ' "no video recording devices of any kind are permitted to be in use in the coaches' booth, on the field, or in the locker room during the game" and that all video shooting locations for club coaching purposes "must be enclosed on all sides with a roof overhead." ' rule in the article, no where does it state that anybody ever used that rule when assessing if Belichick did anything wrong. It might be best to move that line with the rule it to a new section that talks about all the rules for video taping the NFL. but i'll leave that up to you! Thanks again for the help.

Committed?
I think there are various characteristics that make one more likely to be "committed" in that sense. Firstly a wide ranging interest. Secondly a desire to fix errors, fill gaps and add content. Thirdly an ability to not take the silly stuff personally.

If you fit all these criteria, and you have been around Wikipedia editing for a while, then you are likely to be reading Wikipedia, and that means you will be seeing things that need to be done. The second trait means you will be inclined to do them. And the third means you won't get too cross when people appear to be doing everything they can to prevent you improving the encyclopaedia.

Of course that doesn't mean one won't fall foul of the traps Wikipedia offers socially, we have had several "banned" editors who continued to regularly improve articles for years.

Lawyer.com Draft
Hi Rubbish computer,

Thanks for your help. I saw that you've taken a look at the draft itself, and was wondering if you could provide some more guidance (I have taken out the marketing-type content you mentioned)

The submission was recently rejected over the weekend, and I am curious to see what I can do to get the draft approved.

Thank you very much in advance for your help; it has been difficult for me to connect with any wiki user 1 on 1 for personalized help.

Kevin Kcmaher (talk) 14:56, 29 September 2015 (UTC)


 * The article's main problem is that although it may be notable, Lawyer.com isn't shown to be notable within the article. Notability is the overall impact something–say, Lawyer.com–has on the world as a whole. For companies and organizations, it usually needs to be covered significantly in reliable, independent secondary sources. To be significantly covered, there doesn't have to be whole pages about Lawyer.com, but it can't just be mentioned; it needs to have some information there about it. A reliable source is one with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy, such as a lot of major newspapers. Press releases, as are used in this article, could be used but are seen as prone to exaggerating how significant something is, meaning they are not necessarily reliable. They are also not independent of the subject. An independent source means a source independnet of Lawyer.com, while a secondary source is one not directly related to Lawyer.com. For example, a newspaper report would be a good source to show notability if the reporter was talking about Lawyer.com becasue it was significant rather than because they were related to the subject in some way. I'm sorry to hear you haven't been helped much: the page Teahouse/Questions might be helpful for future enquiries. Lastly, although this isn't that important, you can write the name of the draft more readbly by typing Draft:Lawyer.com . I hope this helps. Thanks, --Rubbish computer 15:34, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about 1957 Daly City earthquake
Hello, Rubbish computer,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether 1957 Daly City earthquake should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/1957 Daly City earthquake.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Ninney (talk) 06:06, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Rcat talk pages that don't exist
Hello, Rubbish computer – I noticed your recent talk page creations and thought I should gently remind you: From the template documentation, "While the above talk pages are eligible to be tagged with this banner, they should be talk pages that already exist."

 * Okay, thanks. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 02:52, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Disputed 'reverse racism' edit
Pardon any inconvenience if I am in the wrong talk page to address this matter. I will restate the plea I left at user 'Rms125a@hotmail.com's page on the subject:

Forgive me, I am not well versed in wikipedia edits, but as the guest contributor who performed the 26/10/15 edit, could you guide me through your logic for undoing/resetting the adjustment? I assure you it was intended to be constructive (and fail to see how it might be misconstrued otherwise) and furthermore have expounded on my reasoning in the appropriate talk page. If you could explain to me how the addition of 'initially' is a better contribution to clarity in the first sentence than removing the superfluous section altogether, I would be most appreciative. Thanks again [guest] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.95.66.44 (talk) 03:14, 26 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately I think this is the wrong talk page: I'm not too sure either way. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 03:22, 26 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your assistance, I have since been contacted on my own (provisional?) talk page to discuss this. Best [guest]


 * Sure, no problem. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 11:32, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

EastEnders episode numbers
Hi, I noticed you reverted someone who had updated the EastEnders episode count by one, when there's a note saying "It is preferred that this is only updated once a week (preferably after Friday's episode) to avoid clogging up page histories and watchlists." Can I ask that if the page is updated, you don't revert it. It's only a preference to stop clogging up watchlists and page histories (i.e. we didn't want to see four edits to the episode count a week), but when you revert these edits, "clogging up" watchlists and page histories is exactly what you're doing. Thanks :-) – anemone projectors – 08:08, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * D'oh! I didn't think of that. Thanks, --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 11:39, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
