Re: Heterodox Academy
Hi Hipal! Thanks for what I consider the good editing on Heterodox Academy, but I would take it just a little easy on the IP for this last revision: I expressly said maybe one sentence would be okay. On balance, I don't think the podcast deserves even that, but I was trying to find some agreement and maybe thinking a passing reference would work (though the more I consider it, the less I think this). So, as I say -- I agree with the revert, but let's see how the IP reacts before we start with the sanctions talk. Have a great week! Dumuzid (talk) 04:59, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Requesting some article expansion help
Greetings @ Hipal

Requesting your visit to the article Draft:Irrational beliefs and help expand the same if you are interested in the topic.

This request is being made to you since, previously you seem to have contributed to an article relate to psychology. And certain aspects of the draft I am looking for expansion also needs inputs from psychology domain.

You have left some message regarding some other article, I will keep you informed about the same as I get the time for the same.

Thanks and warm regards

Dowsing again
Hi,

You reverted my edit/s, claiming a "change in pov". Do please clarify, I was under the impression I made no such change. &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:43, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I wrote large changes to lede without corresponding edits to article, change in pov - please work in smaller edits with more descriptive edit summaries. --Hipal (talk) 20:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes you did. And I did as asked, no problem. Note that what you wrote contains the phrase, change in pov; this is the bit I am now asking about. &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 20:37, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Best not to take that out of the larger context of my concerns. --Hipal (talk) 21:03, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Best to work on the article first, so it's clear you're summarizing in the lede, rather than introducing (or giving undue weight) to new information. --Hipal (talk) 21:06, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Template:Undisclosed paid at Ivan Misner
Hello and (pardon my snark) welcome to Wikipedia to you too!

What part of the article do you think is still problematic? It's barely 5 paragraphs long, so I'm not sure how much more "thorough" of a review you can conduct. As I understand it, the tag is there to indicate to editors that the article needs to be carefully and fastidiously revised to remove PROMOspeak and adhere to WP:N and WP:NPOV. As an outside observer who is unpaid and uninterested (and for the record, not new to Wikipedia), I don't think it does.

It is entirely possible that User:Trident13's contributions from 2012 were motivated by an undisclosed COI (this personal thank you message from Misner himself certainly raises eyebrows), and that's certainly worth investigating, but I don't think the Ivan Misner currently requires the level of cleanup which the tag implies.

With kind regards, RoxySaunders (talk · contribs) 01:22, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

How to avoid PROMO?
Hi Hipal, regarding this, I noticed you had a history with this article. Respecting that I tried to edit the whole article carefully to remove PROMO material and to shorten that section to the cases of encyclopedic importance. But I suppose I have not been very successful. Would you please advise how I could make sure the added content won't be seen as PROMO? Thanks. Adler (talk) 17:35, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for following up with me on this.
 * Briefly: use independent reliable sources that clearly show encyclopedic value per WP:NOT.
 * You're an academic. You know the importance of presenting information in a larger context. While Wikipedia articles don't require all references provide a large context, each article needs some, and any section of an article that has none is at risk of deletion for lack of demonstrated encyclopedic value. --Hipal (talk) 19:23, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the reply. I'll make sure to follow this. Adler (talk) 20:47, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Greer
Could you direct me to the explicit enWiki policy or guideline that prohibits/discourages/whatever "opinion pieces" from being used in BLPs? I have not found anything along those lines in WP:BLP, but perhaps I have missed something. I am absolutely, positively not going to edit war over this, but...you know, if an RS reports that the subject supports/believes a conspiracy theory (which does not seem surprising given the oeuvre for which they are notable), then I don't see any BLP problem here. And the source is reliable. You can respond on my Talk page if you wish. Thanks. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 02:19, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for following up with me on this.
 * WP:RSEDITORIAL, WP:BLPPRIMARY --Hipal (talk) 02:33, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * ...and pretty much none of Greer's "documentaries," all of which are steeped in breathless, sensational conspiracy theories of one sort or another, seem to have been reviewed/covered/described by independent, reliable, secondary sources. Not surprising. So attaching to him, in Wiki-voice, "conspiracy theorist" or terms like it seems, ironically, a bridge too far. Thanks for the feedback. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 14:32, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't know anything about that. Why would you bring it up here? --Hipal (talk) 15:59, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Because the subsection you removed from the article - that is, the action at the center of this discussion - concerned conspiracy theory. Look, everything is cool, I am not going to revert you, and this will be my final contribution to this discussion. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 17:22, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. As I pointed out, I don't think the single reference supports the material. --Hipal (talk) 18:05, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Edit summary at Karine Jean-Pierre
Hi, Hipal. I agree with the person addressed that this kind of edit summary should be avoided, no matter what the context is. Bishonen &#124; tålk 17:14, 6 June 2022 (UTC).
 * Agreed, and I believe we've all been too patient with an editor needs to be banned from such articles. --Hipal (talk) 19:52, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * All I did was revert your wording with a very polite comment that I didn't think it was the best wording. Another editor agrees with me that "attacked" is not, in fact, the best wording here. I'm not exactly sure what makes you think that is banworthy? Toa Nidhiki05 20:09, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I believe the addition was overly bold, if not a continuation of the previous edit-warring. The revert was a continuation of the edit-warring. All the while the comments on the talk page are regularly directed at editors rather than policy and article content. --Hipal (talk) 20:13, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I only added the content because several days had passed with no disagreement as to the notability of the source and a reasonable understanding that something was worth mentioning, without any real pushback from you or others involved, which is why it uses a near identical version proposed by YoPienso alongside the Times citation, widely agreed to be the best one out there. If you felt that was continuing an edit war, that's unfortunate, but it had been three days. I would also strongly encourage you to re-add the Psaki bit; without it, the only content on the page currently is that she said both were stolen, not that she presently believes (per Psaki) that they aren't. This could mislead readers. Toa Nidhiki05 20:26, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ArbEnf applies, doubly. --Hipal (talk) 20:32, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Hipal, FYI, you just slipped past 3RR. Though I don't recommend it, you might arguably claim the "obvious vandalism" exemption for the "NOTHERE" edit you reverted. You're supposed to note at the talk page if you're claiming an exemption. I think the safest call would be to self-revert. Hope this helps, Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:28, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks.
 * Let's get the NOTHERE ips blocked. --Hipal (talk) 03:36, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Please Hipal, I would like to know if rollbackers can revert edits made on user pages?. If its possible please revert mine thanks I made a mistake and removed everything. Uricdivine (talk) 21:39, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, Uricdivine. Hipal is not an administrator, and can't perform any other actions on your userpage than you can yourself. But I can. I'm not sure what you want done, though. Was it removing everything that was a mistake? Or did you mean to make your userpage blank, and now you're worried that there's too much personal information about you in the page history? Both would be very legitimate concerns, that I can fix, but you'd better tell me what exactly you want done first. Do you want to restore this version, with the userboxes? Either Hipal or I can do that. Or do you want your personal information removed from the history? I can do that. Bishonen &#124; tålk 22:05, 21 June 2022 (UTC).
 * Thanks, Bishonen.
 * Uricdivine, you can do it yourself, by undoing that last edit of yours to the userpage; or going to the page history, selecting the past version, then editing it to make it current again. --Hipal (talk) 00:23, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Re
Hi Hipal. I received your message that said that I made an edit on the wiki page of a living person and allegedly did not support that edit. But you didn’t tell me which page or edit. I’ll try to figure it out but would be much easier if you could tell me. Thanks so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FriendswLarrySanger (talk • contribs) 20:27, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Dr Dean Ornish
Hi Hipal. So I went through and found the edit in which you had a problem.

Dr. Dean Ornish. I had to switch my source because they said that Oprah Winfrey interviewing Dean Ornish and his wife wasn’t sufficient. I don’t know how to look up what I changed it to but I have his other two wives as well and numerous websites like Oprah‘s that not only interview them but talk about his wives. Not a big Opry fan but I’m guessing that’s not enough. What would you like as the form of a source? I appreciate this as I know you’ve been on here 17 years and I’m just learning. I just know Larry. Coincidentally I know Dean as well. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FriendswLarrySanger (talk • contribs) 20:38, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Here are just a couple articles about Dean‘s wife’s
I see all of the information about his wives have been taken down.

This is his former wife Molly Ornish in Forbes magazine where it explains their marriage and their ages. https://www.forbes.com/forbes/2000/0501/6510084a.html?sh=5d209c50154a

Here is his current wife Anne Ornish on the front of oprah.com being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey and saying no less than 27 times in the interview that she is his wife and he is her husband.

There are thousands of other sources but none better known as Oprah.

https://www.oprah.com/own-super-soul-sunday/dean-and-anne-ornish

And here is his very first wife Shirley Brown mentioned in the New York Times with Dean https://www.nytimes.com/1991/12/29/magazine/hearts-and-minds.html

And here is the LA Times talking about Dean divorcing one of his wives Shirley, this is allegedly the first.

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-03-10-ls-45179-story.html

I sourced these earlier. Granted I’m new but are the LA Times, New York Times, Forbes magazine, Oprah, and i’m happy to name sources even bigger than these, not enough to list his three wives on record?

I thought of including a couple famous girlfriends but I figured I would just list the three wives all of what you have taken down. Please let me know what I need to do to get them back up as soon as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FriendswLarrySanger (talk • contribs) 21:06, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Hipal. You wrote me Friday afternoon that I didn’t back up my sources for Dr. Dean Ornish’s three marriages. I have since provided Links from the LA Times, New York Times, good morning America, he with his wives on the Oprah Winfrey show, Links to Opera which I know don’t count but I have also Forbes magazine. Without the Oprah link I can still have links that are approved by Wikipedia for all three marriages. I haven’t heard back. It’s almost Monday morning here.

Amir Arison und Question for You about German Misinformations
Amir Arison is Ashkenazi Jewish (even his Israeli side is Ashkenazi), his mother is Ukrainian and Polish Jewish and his father is a Romanian Jew , his parents are Ron Arison and Zippora Arison. Also what can I do about German WikiPedia, German WikiPedia Users spread misinformation in German. Example : The original WikiPedia page of Oded Fehr says he is Ashkenazi JEwish (his parents are German JEwish), this has been confirmed also on genealogical websites and the name of his parents etc and all over the Internet , yet German users claim without evidence different ethnicities such as Spain and Denmark and leave out his Jewish heritage.

Also German Users call Andrea Gabriel half Iranian which is Bullshit, Andrea Gabriel is 100 % Ashkenazi Jewish. Even her ORIGINAL English Wikipedia Page lists her as Russian Jewish and Polish Jewish and NOT IRanian, also Andrea Gabriels father was Jack Arnold Monkarsh (changed his name to John Gabriel) and her mother Sandra Cohen both Ashkenazi Jewish, this has been confirmed on several genealogical websites and all over the Internet , also her father has an own WikiPedia article and he is listed as Russian Jewish and Polish Jewish. Germans write Bullshit and claim Bullshit without evidence. What can I do my friend

Verifikado
Hi! I can see that you're a experienced user, so I prefer to make a personal comment before leaving a template. You have not explained why you are disputing the reliability of Verifikado as a source, and the edit summaries you have provided, saying that the source "doesn't appear" reliable, sounds more like a personal appreciation.

The website is not a blog, a self-published reference or has any indications that suggest that it is unreliable, particularly without examples. Contrary to what you have mentioned, saying that the onus lies on me to demonstrate reliability, it has otherwise remained undisputed for years, SandyGeorgia has supported its inclusion, and per WP:BRD the onus lies on you to demonstrate the contrary. So far, the closest rationale given is that the lack of discussion from the community can lead to doubts regarding an outlet's reliability, but this is a particularly problematic conclusion in the case of recently created or non-English sources, and this case is precisely the latter. Your last reverts likewise do not make any consideration regarding improvements made, such as the inclusion of additional references. This, including the repeated lack of explanation, makes this is growingly disruptive.

I ask you to please explain further why you had the impression that the reference is not reliable. As I once said, I'd be happy to answer any concerns that you have. Best wishes, NoonIcarus (talk) 14:43, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No one has begun to demonstrate it's reliable. Please don't waste my time if that remains the case. --Hipal (talk) 22:15, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Icertis dispute
I've created Talk:Icertis and listed this at WP:3O. Hopefully this will help move this forward. Let me know if you object to this. If so, there are other options available. ~Kvng (talk) 20:55, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * There are four editors involved, so 3O isn't an option. Perhaps COIN would be best. --Hipal (talk) 03:25, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, as you wish ~Kvng (talk) 16:09, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hey, I've looked at WP:COIN and I'm not sure this applies. A WP:COI has been declared and I don't think we're accusing anyone of editing without declaring or other misbehavior. From my perspective, this is a content dispute and so the options listed at WP:DISPUTE seem to be more appropriate. If you want to go to WP:COIN with it, you're going to need to take it yourself or at least explain to me what WP:COI-related issues and remediation you want to discuss. ~Kvng (talk) 20:25, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * You may be correct. I am concerned that you attempted to argue an exception to 3O because an involved editor had a COI. I'm concerned that the article is written from the POV of editors with clear or likely COIs. --Hipal (talk) 16:04, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Dean Ornish
Hi there Hapel. I provided you with New York Times, LA Times, good morning America, Oprah Winfrey show and other main stream sources with proof of all three of Dean Ornish‘s marriages although I think there are four total. Was that not enough or did that not suffice for you to put the marriages back up on Wikipedia?

You wrote me last week and I wrote you back properly and it’s been a week or so since I’ve heard from you after you took down three marriages all of which are sourced and backed up which I sourced and back up when I put it up there to begin with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FriendswLarrySanger (talk • contribs) 00:34, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Seema Verma -- help requested
You asked that edits be made in chunks and with consensus. In fact, had you checked, I had been doing that. Moreover, I have been working on consensus for months. No one with authority is weighing in. I asked for BLP Noticeboard help here. Nothing happened. I placed a NPOV box on it, and it was removed without addressing the issues. Earlier I did what I thought was a balanced draft here, which included the criticisms, and it was reverted.

(Comment refactored --Hipal (talk) 01:11, 9 August 2022 (UTC))

Doesn't BLP and NPOV mean anything? I respectfully submit that since no wrongdoing was ever found (the appearance of wrongdoing is different from actual wrongdoing), then perhaps the proper course is to start with a clean article and gain consensus on what criticisms merit inclusion and what ones merely unfairly attack. W21040tx (talk) 00:37, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I've refactored your comment. I hope it's clear why.
 * I came across the article as a result of the BLPN discussion. I did some very cursory cleanup, and noted it on the article talk page. I've barely given it any attention since, until your massive rewrite made in a single edit.
 * I see Morbidthoughts did some cleanup as well.
 * As I wrote on the article talk page, please point out any poor or unreliable references and work from there. Once we've done that, we can look for other BLP issues, especially NOT and POV. --Hipal (talk) 01:11, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Harper Lee
On Lee's Wikipedia article, there is a sentence talking about her relationship with Robert E. Lee and the Lee family. I removed it, because it is unproven, and you reverted it. You cited "unexplained deletion of referenced info" as your reason, so here's my explanation on the removal.

There are two referenced news articles in that citation, one from USA Today and another from Time. USA Today states that she was a descendant of Robert E. Lee, and Time states that they were from the same family. This is a huge conflict that should immediately cause a red flag. I have done my research on her family (which happens to be my family as well), and the farthest Lee's paternal line can be proven back is to Tobias Lee (c. 1803-c. 1875), who is speculated to be the child of James Lee (c. 1760-c. 1820). That is as far back as her Lee family line can be traced, and nowhere does it hit Robert's line.

If you can genealogically prove Lee is descended from Richard Lee I and a member of the Lee family mentioned, feel free to add the information back. Otherwise, please do not revert my edits. Propertimes (talk) 00:20, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation. I see that you removed the content again, and it was restored with the comment that it appears to be properly verified. I suggest you start a discussion on the article talk page if you still believe there's a problem.
 * As for my deletion of the content: Because you did not use an edit summary, I believe the best response on my part was to restore the information. --Hipal (talk) 18:17, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your edits on the above article, which I have been working on intermittently as of late. There are not many books or reputable webpages pertaining to this article in the English language. If there is anything in my edits which needs a citation or raises your concern, please let me know and I will address it (it gets difficult to identify some references which actually qualify as "reputable" at times). Thanks again Kieronoldham (talk) 06:19, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Glad I was able to help. I skimmed the rest and didn't notice anything that I could quickly address. Good luck! --Hipal (talk) 16:02, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
