User talk:BriCastellini

Hello, BriCastellini. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Brains (web series), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:35, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Brains (web series)


A tag has been placed on Brains (web series) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, 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 Wikipedia'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. OnionRing (talk) 21:17, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Sock puppetry
I note that a number of "contested deletion" notices have been posted on Talk:Brains (web series), all coming from registered users or unregistered IP addresses, none of whom have made any other contributions to Wikipedia. Please understand that using multiple usernames and anonymous IP addresses to try to sway the decision of the reviewing administrator is considered sock puppetry and is grounds for permanent loss of editing privileges.

Hello friend! How can a person wishing to prove they're different people (ie not the same person under multiple accounts) go about doing so?

I am pretty sure these are all separate people - chill. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  10:01, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I had left a note here about the sock puppet investigation, but that appears to have been deleted. For the record, there is an active investigation ongoing at Sockpuppet investigations/BriCastellini. The clerks who investigate sock puppetry have available information and tools not available to the general users to ascertain whether multiple accounts are really the same user. And, even if it is determined that these are different people, the behavioral evidence (multiple single purpose accounts coming to the defense of an article) strongly suggests that meat puppetry may be involved. Bri, I would recommend that you address yourself to the sock puppet investigation page that I've linked above. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:21, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I blocked another account for obvious sock/meatpuppetry. Please, do not recruit people to come to support you in Wikipedia. That is called WP:MEATPUPPETRY and is forbidden.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  20:02, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
