Courtesy blanking
I noticed this. Why would you bother making such a change? --Dweller (talk) 14:02, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * On the courtesy blanking section in deletion policy, it says that a discussion will have its content hidden from view based on the judgment of the community, an administrator, or another functionary. This generally is not done except under rare circumstances, such as where public view of the discussion may cause harm to some person or organisation. I have no idea why a request for bureaucratship will be able to cause harm to someone. Cheers, Dat GuyTalkContribs 14:22, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't know the answer to the question without asking, but I'm not sure he'd remember after 3+ years. might remember. But wouldn't it have been easiest/most courteous just to ask them first? --Dweller (talk) 14:24, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I thought about it, but I realized that he blanked his user page and his talk page. Since he had a series of wikibreaks recently, I thought he's going to take another one. I am pinging for why he did it. Dat GuyTalkContribs 14:30, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Cheers. As it's called "courtesy blanking", let's do our best to be courteous :-) In that spirit, would you mind reverting yourself in the meantime? (Btw Nihonjoe is one of my fellow crats and is very much active - I've already pinged him.). --Dweller (talk) 14:34, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Good of you, thanks, I appreciate it. --Dweller (talk) 14:39, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I have no idea why it was blanked. If I was the one who requested it, I don't recall it. It was three years ago, and I can't think of anything in the discussion I'd want hidden (at least not without looking through it). ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 19:41, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I am getting too old to remember stuff off-hand, so I did some digging and found this. It indeed was a request by to have it courtesy blanked by someone, which I fulfilled. If Nihonjoe wants it restored I don't see why it can't be unblanked. Regards, — Moe   Epsilon  07:31, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Having taken a peek, I'm guessing that it was because of the cesspit that began on the RfB page and moved to the talk. --Dweller (talk) 14:45, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * That could very well be. I seem to remember something being taken out of context and interpolated beyond recognition. At this point, I really don't care about it. I'm fine either way. Actually, I'd prefer they be left blanked. As I mentioned in the request, people can still pull up things if they want to, but search engines won't find it. All that mess is better left less visible. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 19:21, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Stampede Wrestling 50th Anniversary Show
I'm confused about why this submission was declined. It has significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. It shouldn't matter that several of the articles referenced are hosted by the same web portal. The article meets notability guidelines and would easily survive an AfD, in the unlikely even that someone made such an uninformed nomination. This draft should be moved into the mainspace; pushing a contributor away with moving goalpost criteria doesn't help anyone. GaryColemanFan (talk) 23:27, 2 January 2016 (UTC)


 * You need more WP:Reliable Sources. Most of your references are from one source and there is even an interview about one of the wrestlers. It's supposed to be about the show, not the wrestlers. Dat GuyTalkContribs 04:34, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The four stories from Canadian Online Explorer are more than enough to meet notability and reliable source guidelines. You're making up criteria that aren't reflected in policy or guidelines. At this point, the article could be moved into mainspace with no problem. Since the IP can't do that, it looks like the best solution would be for me to move it myself to avoid non-policy based rejection. GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:53, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure, move it to mainspace. It still means you have a higher chance of getting your article deleted by AfD. Dat GuyTalkContribs 18:13, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

21:21:28, 5 January 2016 review of submission by 2605:A000:CCC3:C100:D4FD:3F:C8FD:B07F
Dear Dat GuyWiki,

I had to resubmit the article since the previous reviewer did not answer my question. Would you please help (see below)?

Dear Reviewer,

My article was about `Haider Khaleel Raad` has declined 3 times for different reasons! First it was a referencing issue, then external links, and now about notability. I believe along with many academics in this field that the person I am writing about is notable in his field. He is an author of 2 books (one of which was ranked number one best selling on Amazon last year under Aerodynamics category), and more than 50 articles of high impact factor. Could you please show me the difference in terms of notability and referencing between my article and these 2 examples?

Changes to The Light Princess
I appreciate your diligence in maintaining the integrity of the page regarding the fairy tale The Light Princess, however I disagree that the change I made was not constructive. Extensive information about an adaptation of the fairy tale belongs on its own page, as has been done with works like Kinky Boots (film), Wicked (Maguire novel), and other stories and media that have been adapted to stage productions. I'd be interested in seeing other examples of articles in the style of this one, as it doesn't make sense to have so much information not relevant to the original work, for which the page is titled. Please share your thoughts. Thanks. Eric.yarham (talk) 16:43, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi DatGuy,

what was your precise reason for reverting the change? I just watched this interview and she said herself, that since she had kids, she is no longer a vegetarian, but a pescatarian.

Cheers


 * You did not prove that by linking the interview. Dat GuyTalkContribs 17:27, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I did:

She is a pescatarian

---

I'm stunned by people like you. Have you even watched the provided link? Did you see it's from the Account of "The Royal Insitution", which has editorial oversight?

You want to look in the rulebook of wikipedia for citing youtube: YouTube and similar sites do not have editorial oversight engaged in scrutinizing content so editors need to watch out for the potential unreliability of the user uploading the video. There are channels for videos uploaded by agencies and organizations generally considered reliable such as that of the Associated Press on YouTube. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Videos_as_references)

So if you want to keep the false statement of Alice being a vegetarian, be my guest. But you do work actively against truth and knowledge. Live long and prosper.

 * I apologize, however you must explain. Dat GuyTalkContribs 15:56, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Please search in English or Chinese, eg via Google News or LinkedIn. It is easy to check the complete list of the central state-owned companies: http://www.sasac.gov.cn/n86114/n86137/index.html of the PRC (sorry, no English version of the list on their official site.)

Such huge Chinese "National Group" in is too famous to exist. Only Big 3 "National" oil/gas groups there (plus SinoChem if for refining).

The only source is too ridiculous to look like a "national"-level official website. It just lists some oil refining companies (the first being a local branch of SINOPEC, one of the Big 3) and fake a title of "National Group" even with a semantically wrong Chinese image title ("China National Refinery-Factory Group Corporation" instead of its claimed text "China National Refinery Corporation").

The "National Group"'s attempted website provides no telephone number but a contact address whose format is wrong (corrected: Suite 3801, K. Wah Centre, No. 1010, Middle Huaihai Road, Shanghai, 200031, China) The address has been used by other companies.

 * Hi there! I stumbled on the article while patrolling speedys and my search came up with a website, which made me question the A11 criteria and made me think that no one had looked into this (my mistake). I finally came over to your talk page. This is a puzzling case! A few things about this article are weird. The creator of the article, only made a few edits ever, and none of them are screaming out at me as hoaxes or vandalism. Also, the way that the unnamed user above can't explain anything is strange. The fact that the English version of a Chinese site looks "weird" isn't a reason to think it's not real. A lot of Chinese web sites look that way (I do a few Chinese bios). If you want to have more eyes look at this, send it up to AfD. A Speedy isn't the best way to get this done, since they fly below the radar. I tagged the article with a WikiProject China, and it might be a good idea to ask for help, there, too. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 23:29, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * At first I had my doubts, but I fell in for the IP after the proof he gave me. Was not sure about this either way, and since I don't understand Chinese I will let this go. Dat GuyTalkContribs 23:37, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I understand. It's super weird. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 00:02, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I am a Chinese speaking Standard Chinese from Shanghai. I read news about China's politics and economy every day. It is very apparent to any reasonable Chinese that such huge corp. does not really exist. That website itself is not a reliable source. I found a list of the top-level state-owned companies in English, however old: http://www.gov.cn/misc/2005-10/21/content_80894.htm. But a recent Chinese version can be machine-translated: http://www.sasac.gov.cn/n86114/n86137/index.html. See also: List of government-owned companies of China. Can you believe that "National Group" has only that isolated website-building practice (No any other source or any external link to it) only in English (no Chinese version)? Thank you. -- 121.44.225.51 (talk) 03:13, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Style guide
Did you read the manual of style yet? The issues I saw were the use of abbreviations, such as 1st, not spelling numbers as words in text eg 4 should read "four". Also there was wrong capitalisation of headings, and wrong placement of reference tags. The idea is for you to read the manual of style and identify what you have been doing differently from it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:46, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
 * As English isn't my first language (although I contribute at a native level), manual of style is quite hard for me. In Manual of Style/Dates and numbers I couldn't find anything about when to change 4 to four or about 1st or first. That's partly what I would like to use AWB for. Dat GuyTalkContribs 22:12, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
 * For AWB we actually want the operator to be able to tell if it is making the right suggestions, so that they can take responsibility for it. AWB is not a substitute for knowing what to do. AWB is to make doing the right thing faster. Let me know when your comprehension of manual of style is good enough. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:46, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Message re: De Soto and sockpuppetry
Hello - I had received a message that I had had a sockpuppetry investigation opened on my Talk page. I followed up with a message on the investigation page; as I noted, it is my intent to abide by Wikipedia's policies, but there are specific issues with this situation which I would like to have addressed. Thank you very much for your attention.Veritas20132014 (talk) 03:24, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Sorry
Hi DatGuy.

My apologies, I was trying to tag the page for speedy deletion as its a duplicate of "Fina Biosolutions LLC". I'm working on expanding that page today so it isn't a stub.
 * No problem. Thanks for clearing it up. Dat GuyTalkContribs 15:31, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

DatGuy:

Thank you for the mind-numbing array of tools and reference material. I'm sure my technique was crude and perhaps out of the bounds necessary for consideration.

But my question is simple. I suggested two additions in good faith. Have they been rejected? Are they being considered? They are both legitimate additions to the page "People from Park Ridge, Illinois," and I was hoping they'd be added.

I really don't have the man-days necessary to master all the resources you've provided. I just wanted to add three names. Is there a simple way I can do that? Or are my additions undergoing some scrutiny?

Thank you,
