Question from Sroniyantech (06:08, 10 April 2022)
Yes please, I need guidance that how can I create my company page on Wikipedia. Please guide me for same. --Sroniyantech (talk) 06:08, 10 April 2022 (UTC)


 * hi there, @Sroniyantech! Wikipedia strongly discourages writing about yourself or your business; it's considered a conflict of interest. You may want to request that someone write an article for your business at Requested articles/Business and economics/Companies, where someone may choose to take it up if it meets the guidelines for inclusion. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 06:18, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Question from Evadeluge (00:38, 13 April 2022)
Hi Eslev. Ive been through the exercises, heavily edited a difficult large entry, and now I'm about to start editing my own entries. The first is just being completed on my sandbox. I can enter it directly or enter it from sandbox.

My concern is that last time I entered something through Sandbox, I struck a hostile editor who harassed me, patronised me unmercifully, cancelled my account, unnecessarily blocked all my pictures, wiped out all my entry as a copyright infringement (it wasn't) and falsely accused me of all sorts of things. I am elderly and really could not take another one of those - or the same fellow back again. Is there any way I can ensure my safety when entering new material (or any way to block a troll?) --Evadeluge (talk) 00:38, 13 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello !
 * isn't a troll, he's an experienced editor. He's warned you, and now I will as well, that you need to stop disparaging him. That kind of behavior isn't tolerated here.
 * I've looked at what's currently in your sandbox and see no problem with copyright infringement. However, I'm not sure you've demonstrated the notability of "This Old Man Comes Rolling Home", so I don't think it's ready to be published as an article. You might want to take a look at WP:NOTABILITY. If you have any more questions or want to chat more about this, you're always welcome to leave another message here! ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 00:51, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Ezlev, I dont care how long he's been hanging around, I am an old lady, I am frightened of him and if there is no way I can block his dealing with me then I cannot put up with this fear nor should I have to, I will have to go.  If you are all going to close ranks around an abuser, then I fell sorry for all the poor people who will have to tolerate him in the future. Thankyou. Evadeluge (talk) 03:52, 13 April 2022 (UTou
 * Re the sandbox - the article is not yet finished, most of the external references and notability discussion is yet to be included. I'll let you know when it's about to go up.
 * I am keeping this new article secret from TimTrent, and my colleague has also hidden his new name from him, to stop the hounding. All the discussion has been around the article "Dorothy Hewett" Evadeluge (talk) 04:02, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You all need to be aware we live in a new world where we won't tolerate patriarchal abusers being protected by a system and we won't tolerate blame-the-victim any more, like we have done for so long. (I am 77 years old) Evadeluge (talk) 04:15, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @Evadeluge You need to start to understand life at Wikipedia. YOU are expected to be WP:CIVIL and you are not. You are expected not to whine and whinge about your treatment when you break the rules because you are expected to stick to the rules.
 * It doesn't matter whether you are 7, 17, 77, 107, you must learn how to behave. Being of what you seem to think of as some advanced age does not prevent your obeying the rules. Living wherever you live does not mean you are immune to the rules.
 * I have continued to deal with your infractions consistently and politely and will continue to do so.
 * Please stop the pretence that you are an injured innocent. Please put away your manufactured fright - "am an old lady, I am frightened of him and if there is no way I can block his dealing with me then I cannot put up with this fear nor should I have to, I will have to go. If you are all going to close ranks around an abuser, then I fell sorry for all the poor people who will have to tolerate him in the future.". I've already told you that I am ignoring what is likely to be block evasion since the account  remains blocked. I am starting to doubt that others will be as charitable.
 * Thank you, Ezlev, for letting me know about this. I intend to leave any action on this for others to take. I am old enough and ugly enough to treat this serial disparagement as part if the stuff of which Wikipedia is made. The editor is, however, not here to create an encyclopaedia (0.95 probability). 🇺🇦  Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 06:45, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Ezlev, my question was, is there any way to block another editor with whom you want no correspondence or communication at all. Just as there is on mail, facebook, and every other form of social media - and in real life through a Protection Order. I get the impression there is not. Evadeluge (talk) 07:34, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You could request an interaction ban at a venue like WP:ANI,, but as Timtrent already mentioned the readers of that forum will scrutinize your activity along with his. There’s no guarantee it would go the way you want it to. Another option might be to proceed as normal while keeping the policies you’ve learned about in mind - I find disputes like this rarely continue once two reasonable editors have made their points and learned from the experience. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 15:41, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You make very reasonable points Ezlev. I would be perfectly happy to be asked to comment at WP:ANI. WP:BOOMERANG applies to all such reports as you have said very clearly. Better would be that this editor starts to work by the rules here and ceases to impugn my motives and disparage my character.
 * I've not once dealt with them uncivilly, nor will I ever. I cannto block anything of theirs. On Commons I have simply asked Commons admins to apply the rules without any bias for or against.
 * For reference you might wish to look at c:Special:Contributions/Timtrent which shows that my work on Commons is far reaching across a multitude of editors who fail to observe licencing rules when they upload files. I have sometimes, but rarely, found people protest a great deal when their opinion of their correctness is mistaken. They have usually interpreted Wikipedia as something it is not, for example social media, when iyt is a serious encyclopaedia
 * There is no dispute here, not in my eyes at least. I'm sorry this has arrived at your talk page. While not the manner I might have chosen to meet you, it is, nonetheless, very pleasant to do so. 🇺🇦  Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:40, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
