This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Kimaera, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.stygiancrypt.com/bands_en.php?s=Kimaera.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Speedy deletion nomination of Kimaera


A tag has been placed on Kimaera 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 a band or musician, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

paid editing?
Hello EliaMssawir. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:EliaMssawir. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Theroadislong (talk) 11:07, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

I have been a member of Wikipedia since over 10 years... My first published article was in 2009, followed by few others that were included on wikipedia. You simply banned me for wrong reasons! I clarified that I haven't and will never be paid or compensated for my work on 2 of your reviewer's pages, and yet you blocked me. If that's how wikipedia treats it's readers and contributors, I don't want to be part of it. Shame, after a decade of supporting this website, I get banned for false and untrue reasons. In my 10-11 years I haven't even violated 1 single rule mentioned on the website, and I insist now that I didn't and never will.

 * Thank you,, indeed – and on User talk:Robert McClenon‎ too; unfortunately, that does not seem really to be true. I may be wrong of course, but this needs to be clarified – let's see what the editor himself says. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:06, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

 * User:Justlettersandnumbers - I was about to copy the editor's post on my talk page here for the information of the blocking administrator, but I see that it has already been read. I have no knowledge or opinion on its truth.  Over and out.  Robert McClenon (talk) 19:09, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Answering all your questions, I have been a member of wikipedia since over a decade, with a publish article that goes back to 2009. I answered all reviewers questions and concerns, that I am in no way, shape or form, getting paid or compensated for the article I wrote about the artist Freek. I'm not sure how can I prove this, except that my track record on the website shows my intentions and how I usually support music artists and bands. No clue from where you understood that I'm getting paid, but I guess we can all make assumptions and never take into consideration the other person's true story. I have been banned now for false claims, even thought I answered bot reviewers that my this is an unpaid article and no one in this world is giving me a cent for it.

You claim that I'm editing with my real name, have you google my name and seen that I'm a music activist? that I fight for music and artist in the middle east? And all my published articlas are got middle eastern bands and musicians.

Last but not least, I have shows, proven and included all legit resources and enough evidence that Freek falls under the musical notability criteria. 6 legit and international resouces claim so, as well as the front cover of a regional magazine.

Unblock request
Dear Admin, as mentioned in my previous reply to one of your reviewers, based on your "non-wiki" evidence, and your research about my name, have you actually read about me and what I do? I'm a music activist that has been around for over a decade and promoting middle-eastern music. What you guys are basing your "believes" (which i stress on, that it's just a believe), on what you feel like "is right" and no proof, evidence to anything your claiming. You are currently defamating my name on the web on false accusations. Last thing to add, do you really think an artist page, for an un-signed artist and from the middle east can actually make money for me? Have you been in the industry? or even in this part of the world? Please think twice before you jump into false conclusions and false "believes". — Preceding unsigned comment added by EliaMssawir (talk • contribs)
 * Paid editing is not necessarily about generating money or income, it's about being paid to create an article, or creating one as part of your job duties. 331dot (talk) 09:25, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

What is your proof that I'm getting paid to create this article? No one can support others these days without getting paid? Your answer to my questions shows that there is something that is not adding up in the story or claims. Why I haven't flagged 10 years on wikipedia while posting articles about bands and musicians? why now? Again, something that is not adding up in your claims. EliaMssawir (talk • contribs)
 * That you may have gotten away with paid editing for 10 years doesn't mean that you can continue to do so(a paid editing disclosure requirement was added to the Terms of Use less than 10 years ago). As I said, I am not allowed to disclose off-wiki evidence publicly per WP:OUTING.  I would suggest that you consider what might be found when searching for your username and what about that information might cause others to think that you are being paid for your contributions.  I can't say any more than that. 331dot (talk) 09:47, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

This sort of defamation that has been used against myself and my name in here is unacceptable. I have been the most professional in dealing with this, but note something mr. 331dot. not you or anyone on this website is allowed to accuse me of anything that is false. Clean your fingers before typing phrases like "That you may have gotten away with paid editing for 10 years doesn't mean that you can continue to do so." cause respectful people like myself don't accept such accusations. After doing my own research about this issue, I came to a "conlusion" and "believe" that you and other admins/reviewers are racists, especially after following your "contributions" against other members on the website. I'm honestly very disappointed with Wikipedia allowing such mentalities to run the website. Be sure that I am not the person to shut up, and I will not allow this to go through easily. Ban me, block me, doesn't matter to me, you are not the first person to try and silence me. Research my name carefuly, and you shall see that I am nothing but an open book, and definitely a fighter for rights. Have a nice day to you and your group of ignorante people. When you see this story online, remember that you made a wrong discion. EliaMssawir (talk • contribs)
 * I don't know what race you are, so I don't know why you accuse me of racism. It's disappointing to see you descend into unfounded accusations instead of addressing the questions given.  You are free to make another unblock request to be reviewed by someone else if you wish. 331dot (talk) 10:04, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

You obviously know my race, especially after you did your "off-wiki" research. I'm using my real name and not hiding anything from you nor other admins/reviewers. So please don't take me as an ignorante person. Answering your second part, have you read my answers to the previous reviewers/admins? If one person (the one who first flagged me) kept on dealing with this matter, it would have been resolved, but with every new reply I get someone new asking the same questions; Which i clearer answers: I am not taking any kind of money of compensation for this article NOR any other articles I have written in the past 10 years on Wikipedia. I have proven that the artist Freek falls under the musical notability criteria. Again; I am only support artists from the middle east and musicians that are making a difference in the industry. I am not promoting Eminem or Foo Fighters to make money. How many people should I deal with more to explain this? This has been taken quiet alot of my time. EliaMssawir (talk • contribs)
 * I don't know your race, people of different races can be in different parts of the world. I don't care what your race is, you are a human being.  You may make another unblock request if you wish, I have nothing else to add. 331dot (talk) 10:14, 8 June 2020 (UTC)


 * EliaMssawir, I'm prepared to discuss this, but can only really do so if you agree to waive your right to anonymity here. Our (very strict) rules prevent us from linking an editor to a real-world person, what we call WP:OUTING. If you specifically waive your right to protection under that policy and authorise us to discuss your real-world identity and connections, then I would have some questions for you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:12, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, by using my name on the internet and posting with no hidden identity, means I'm automatically waiving my rights to anonymity. I have nothing to hide and definitely nothing to worry about. Feel free to ask. EliaMssawir (talk • contribs)

Hello, Is there any update on this? EliaMssawir (talk • contribs)
 * I don't know what Justlettersandnumbers' questions are(and they may be busy with other things, we are all volunteers here), but I would ask, are you not an artist manager and entertainment booker for 'Big Beards Entertainment'? 331dot (talk) 08:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Cause Justlettersandnumbers was answering me faster, was just following up on his request. I'm a volunteer in writting the articles as well. I prefer if one admin can deal with this please; but answering your question I am the owner of Big Beards Entertainment, and it's an events & entertainment company based in Dubai. EliaMssawir (talk • contribs)
 * As I reviewed one of your requests, I cannot review another, but you asked for an update. Someone else will review this but I'm trying to anticipate their questions to move this along, at your request. Are the musicians you have been editing about your clients? 331dot (talk) 08:13, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

No, none of the articles I wrote about any artists since I started till now are in any way my clients, nor I have any contract (official and unofficially) with any. I have been supporting them and trying to give them exposure. None of the artists mentioned in any article has paid me for any support I have given. Big Beards clients are companies like Red Bull and Puma, not even music related. EliaMssawir (talk • contribs)
 * If that's true, why does Freek appear as a client of your company on your company website? 331dot (talk) 08:22, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Cause we book artists and entertainment to events, the artists you see on the website are not signed to us. Most artists in the country don't have representation, and none of them actually need, but agian we support them by giving them exposure whenever we can. None of them pay us for anything, the company generates its income from the events that it does for brands and companies, and we always try to include local and regional artists. That being said, you now know that we never get paid from the artists. Feel free to reach out to Freek and ask him yourself.EliaMssawir (talk • contribs)
 * I guess I don't see the distinction there; however, I have no further questions, and will leave this for someone else to review as I've stated. It should be soon, though I cannot give you a timeframe as, again, we are all volunteers here. 331dot (talk) 08:35, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Well of course the dsitinction is there, can't accuse people of getting money for an article they wrote while they are not. At the moment I'm fighting this because of false accusations and the defamation of my name on the web, I don't care whether the article gets approved or not, my reputation is much more important as my name in the industry is clean; wouldn't allow anyone to step on that. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me, I shall wait. Have a good day. EliaMssawir (talk • contribs)

I also note you say over on File:KaoteonMembers.jpg that you "manage the band". I note also that you've edited Kaoteon in clear violation of WP:COI and WP:PAID. --Yamla (talk) 12:51, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

So now you have other reasons and "rules" throwing at me so you justify what other admins did. This is obviously a case of rasicm towards arabs and black artists like I stated weeks ago. I don't want to be part of such a community, and I will be taking this to social media, let people know what kind of "volunteers" are running what-used-to-be a useful platform. Shame.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Freek on the cover of Musivv Magazine.png


A tag has been placed on File:Freek on the cover of Musivv Magazine.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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.
