Disambiguation link notification for June 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Perfect Storm (book), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Albert Johnston (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Lauriston S. Taylor
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Lauriston S. Taylor, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://hps.org/aboutthesociety/people/inmemoriam/LauristonTaylor.html.

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.

Copyright problems
Hello InfoDataMonger, I have drastically reduced Lauriston S. Taylor to remove all the material which you had copied virtually verbatim from this web page (copyright violation). Additionally, you did not credit the source (plagiarism). Please read the notice at Talk:Lauriston S. Taylor and take it on board. If you have created or substantially expanded other articles, please go back to them and ensure that they do not have the same problems. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 10:14, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

InfoDataMonger, I'm finding some real problems with your articles. In addition to Lauriston S. Taylor (above):
 * I have removed material from James Newell Stannard which you had copied verbatim from here, again without attribution.
 * I rewrote sections of Harvey Society where you had pasted material verbatim without attribution from here and here
 * I removed an unencyclopedic sentence from Barnard Medal for Meritorious Service to Science but in fact you had copied that whole lead section without attribution from this. Even though that source had a free license, it is plagiarism to copy others' words verbatim without attribution.
 * Heinrich Mache appears to be an unattributed translation of the German Wikipedia article. I have now added an attribution notice to comply with our licensing requirements.

Below I'm going to put the standard warning and advice about copyright problems and plagiarism for new users. Please read it and all the associated pages, before creating any further articles. Please also go back now to the following articles which you have created or expanded, check them thoroughly for copyright infringement and plagiarism, and repair the damage: Roberts Rugh, National Radium Institute, American Radium Society, Henry Harrington Janeway, Leonidas D. Marinelli, Gioacchino Failla, Robley D. Evans (physicist), James Ewing (pathologist), and John D. Boice, Jr.. Voceditenore (talk) 17:09, 27 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I have also removed the material on your user page copied verbatim from here. That source is clearly marked ©2014 Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. You cannot place a copyright infringement anywhere on Wikipedia, including user pages. I'm sorry to have keep banging on about this, but I don't think you realize how seriously copyright infringement is taken on Wikipedia. If you don't slow down, take the advice on board, and repair the damage so far, you stand a very real chance of being blocked, which would be a great pity. Voceditenore (talk) 17:40, 27 June 2014 (UTC)


 * You also need to do something about the Establishment of the Barnard Medal for Meritorious Service to Science section at Barnard Medal for Meritorious Service to Science. It appears to be a mass of quotation, with very unclear marking of the quotes and very unclear attributions to the exact source or sources from which they come. If any of those sources are online, please add the link in the references. I very much doubt that you typed all that material by hand.Voceditenore (talk) 18:02, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello InfoDataMonger, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Voceditenore (talk) 17:09, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Copyright violation - Potential, needs my edits and updating
This is your final warning concerning your repeated insertion of copyright material into Wikipedia. Despite my warnings and explanations above, you have once again added the entire contents of this to your user page. I have removed it. The next time you add copyright material anywhere on Wikipedia, I will request that you be blocked. Voceditenore (talk) 12:22, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I did not add anything NEW to the page you are referring to. I did add a correct Reference to the citation you recently mentioned.
 * Perhaps the learning curve is steeper than realized or noticed by myself.
 * Did not think that 'User page' was open to All;
 * Where is the best place to test pages before going 'Live' ? I have been using my User page to collect and edit info before I post to Wiki!
 * So, anything you see on my User page is as I state: Works in Progress.
 * You assistance is appreciated and your criticism is welcome, IF CONSTRUCTIVE!


 * Hi InfoDataMonger. Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, the learning curve is steep, and a lot of beginners make the same mistakes you've made. But is absolutely essential that you never paste material from copyright sources onto any page on Wikipedia, including your user pages and sandbox. It is also essential that you explicitly credit your actual sources. Failure to do so is plagiarism, even on the rare occasions when you are using text that is out of copyright. See my comments at Talk:Henry Harrington Janeway, for example. Here are some tips that I give new editors...
 * '''How to avoid close paraphrasing and copyright problems.
 * Close paraphrasing is essential reading before you even start your next draft as is Copy-paste (a simple guide to copyright issues)


 * One of the best ways to avoid copyright violations (and to write a better article) is to use several sources rather than relying on a single reference work or web site.


 * If you do find material that you want to use or refer to, copy it into a word processing file (or draft email) completely off-wiki'. Never put it in your sandbox or any other Wikipedia user or draft space.


 * But don't take the material and then start changing a few words in it or moving the phrases around. First of all, this will almost always result in paraphrasing which is so close that it risks being a copyright infringement. Secondly, if you just change a word to a similar word, you risk distorting the meaning.


 * Do this instead...


 * Read the material. Digest it.  Internalize it.  Make sure you understand the outline of the subject well enough to explain it out loud to another person without looking at your sources.


 * Then make an outline of the facts only—no adjectives, no phrases, just the facts


 * Now attempt a draft of the topic, just using your outline, preferably after not having looked at the source material for a little while. This will force you to write it in your own words — it's just too easy to be tempted to copy the perfect phrases that are found in professionally written material.


 * Draft your article gradually rather than rushing to get it into Wikipedia. This approach will result in more interesting and coherent content. It also allows you the time to review your work carefully for potential copyright violations.


 * Hope that helps. Voceditenore (talk) 18:27, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Herbert Mermagen
Hello InfoDataMonger,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Herbert Mermagen for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. AlanS (talk) 02:47, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Roberts Rugh at microscope.png


A tag has been placed on File:Roberts Rugh at microscope.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. , and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
 * state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
 * add the relevant copyright tag.

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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

 * I don't know how second chances work, and don't want to prejudice anybody's hopes of becoming a productive editor. But to choose one of your own copyright violations as the page for improvement seems to show a certain disregard for our copyright policy. The opening sentence here is copied almost word-for-word from the same source you took the rest of the article from, Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society. I'm going to ask, and  (with my apologies to all three) if they would take a look at this. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 01:56, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Pinging again, messed it up first time round. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 01:58, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Please allow me the chance to fix these errors. I did not realize that I needed to correct what you mentioned in the response to my request. I read the second chance information and did submit what I thought was expected of me. I can go back and rewrite what was found to be in violation. Let me make this right.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jack Healy (health physicist)


A tag has been placed on Jack Healy (health physicist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from https://www.orau.org/ptp/Library/oralhistories/healy.pdf. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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 "Click here to 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.

Non-free rationale for File:Harvey-Cushing-stamp.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Harvey-Cushing-stamp.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:00, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

[Shields Warren], second chance x2
Shields Warren (1898 – July 1980) was an American pathologist. He was among the first to study the pathology of radioactive fallout.

Warren had an early career in the Army that ended when he succumbed to the 1918 flu pandemic. After the stint in the Army warren attended Harvard then on to Boston City College where he studied diabetes. During residency he became interested in Hodgkin’s disease and the effects from radiation used to treat the disease. After Pearl Harbor, Frank Lahey (physician) asked Warren to look into the pathology of burn treatment. Ross T. McIntyre, White House physician, Surgeon General of the Navy; asked Warren to assist with the establishment of blood banks for the Navy. After the Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Warren assisted Japanese physicians with treating Japanese atomic bomb survivors and his team performed the first fallout surveys. For Operation Crossroads Warren organized the animal studies that involved mice, rats, pigs and goats. He helped to influence the Atomic Energy Commission to establish five research centers and provide funding and encouragement from other AEC laboratories. Warren worked in diabetes research, and wrote the first of his nine text books, before he turned his attention to cancer research. Dr. Shields Warren died in his sleep at his summer home in Mashpee, Massachusetts on 1 July 1980. InfoDataMonger (talk) 17:01, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Unblock request

 * Per Wiki guidelines and with guidance from Wiki editors and after considerable time to familiarize myself with Wiki policies and copyright requirements (and time to really think about all this) I request to be unblocked.


 * I do understand that material cannot be copied from a source and pasted on to the Wiki page for an article. Any material posted on Wiki must be in the editor’s own words and not merely rephrased. Any images posted on Wiki must be free of copyright restrictions, or used with permission or used giving proper credit for the source of the image. Images used on Wiki must meet the requirements of acceptable use. Content used must meet the rationale and policy requirements of Wikipedia.


 * I will choose to apply a simple rule of: “when in doubt, leave it out”. Failing this test, prior to posting material on wiki I will seek the advice of Wiki administrators for guidance and suggestions.


 * Please take a look at my Areas of Interest on my User Page. These are the subjects that I wish to contribute to Wiki. I see a great void in these subject areas and wish to make meaningful contributions to Wiki and to the knowledge base that Wikipedia strives for today. I do realize that in my effort to accomplish this quickly, I did not have sufficient knowledge or familiarity with Wiki policies and rules and guidelines to do this successfully. Now I know what is expected and most importantly, what is required.

Unsorced category additions
I notice you have been adding "Category:Phi Kappa Phi" to a number of articles. I looked at three of those articles, and in two of them, Harry Reid and George Andrew Olah, Phi Kappa Phi isn't even mentioned in the article. Why are you adding the category then? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:54, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Because you are an experienced editor I did not report this as vandalism yet. Please respond before making additional edits.  Thank you again.  Magnolia677 (talk) 23:47, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response on my talk page. You are correct that the additions I mentioned above have been removed, but that is because I removed them.  There are still other articles you added this category to, and many of those may be incorrect, as there is no sourced mention of "Phi Kappa Phi" in the article, such as Loren Legarda.  Do you plan to remove the category from each of the articles you added it to, in which there is no sourced mention in the article of Phi Kappa Phi?  Thank you again.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Street light into Joseph William Sutton. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:51, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Frank Styant Browne


A tag has been placed on Frank Styant Browne 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 person or group of people, 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. —teb728 t c 03:38, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Category:Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers
Hello InfoDataMonger, I have reverted a few of your recent categorizations into that new category. Articles are usually only placed into a category, when the category is a defining characteristic of the article, or in other words, when the article is part of a distinct group defined by the category (but not the other way around). Some of the added articles didn't meet that requirement. Please see WP:Categorization for more information. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 17:28, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Draft:William Edward Nolan, Jr. concern
Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:William Edward Nolan, Jr., a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:31, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Copying from sources
Hi! I've reverted to Royal Variety Performance, as it included content copied from the website of the Royal Variety Charity. For example: As it happens, the content of that webpage is freely licenced (I don't know if if you knew this?), so the copying is technically WP:PLAGIARISM rather than outright copyright violation. However, given your chequered history in this area, may I ask you to take much more care not to copy from sources? I see that imposed strict conditions when unblocking you, so I think it would be wise to err well on the side of caution. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:53, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:William Edward Nolan, Jr.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, InfoDataMonger. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. Bilby (talk) 13:04, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi again. It seems that you are still doing paid work with Goldfish (short film). I need to reiterate that Wikipedia accepts paid editing, but only if you disclose your client and that you are engaging in editing for pay. You can do that on the talk page of the article, in your edit summaries, or on your user page, but it is a requirement under the Terms of Use that you make that disclosure. - Bilby (talk) 02:04, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Shawn Kent Hayashi-1.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Shawn Kent Hayashi-1.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:29, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Shawn Kent Hayashi-1.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Shawn Kent Hayashi-1.jpg, which you've attributed to Elaine Zelker. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy.

September 2016
Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Caia Koopman. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

Proposed deletion of Shawn Kent Hayashi


The article Shawn Kent Hayashi has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * No evidence of reaching notability per WP:GNG, WP:NAUTHOR or WP:PROF. Extensive WP:REFBOMBing is largely trivial, passing or primary.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. David Gerard (talk) 12:04, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Joe Wein


The article Joe Wein has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Promotional article that is heavily WP:REFBOMBed, but the references are mostly to the fact that things Wein is claimed to have worked on exist - almost none of the checkable refs even actually mention his name. Many are gratuitously unlinked (even when present online) to avoid checkability. There is a lot of attempting to show his association with notable projects, but notability is not inherited. This is WP:PUFFERY.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hello InfoDataMonger,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged 686 (company) for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for undisclosed paid editing. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  17:15, 30 January 2017 (UTC) [User:InfoDataMonger|InfoDataMonger]] (talk) 17:31, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * You were warned last year about disclosing a conflict of interest. I do not see where you've ever disclosed this fact and as far as I can tell, you are still doing this. I was initially going to just give you a short block, but from what I can see you've been making a large amount of edits that could be seen as promotional edits (like this one) - including a large amount of deleted pages that had issues with promotional language. Your sandbox has several prospective articles that have WP:PUFFERY in them and I also note that you have problems with sourcing - in one article you use a book that was self-published through Lulu and in an article in your userspace you try to use a press release as a source - I noticed this last one because you tried to have it restored at REFUND, where you said that there was enough sourcing to establish notability. Normally I'd just assume that this was just there to back up a basic piece of info, except that you credited it to an author rather than as a press release. Given that concerns over a COI were already expressed last year, this makes you look quite bad - it means that you are either unaware of proper sourcing (COI editors must be aware of RS guidelines) or you are aware and were willing to manipulate the sourcing to meet your needs. This makes all of your edits suspect, even for the edits and articles that would have otherwise not raised any concern. This is why you absolutely MUST disclose your conflict of interest when asked and post it on the articles that you are editing. You cannot ignore this guideline as it is required by Wikipedia that all COI editors must disclose this status. Now it's possible that you could be unblocked, but one of the requirements is that you must disclose any and all COI edits that you have or will make with this account or with any other account that you may have. (You should also not have any alternate accounts unless they are openly stated and have a valid reason for use.) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  17:25, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * You were also blocked for copyright issues and were given a second chance, but it looks like you did the same behavior, but with paid articles. Now even if these weren't paid edits the edits still had a LOT of issues with promotional language and bad sourcing. Per your comments in this area you acknowledged that the speedy warnings and other posts were warning enough that you were doing something wrong, yet you seem to have ignored these same issues when it came to the issues with the articles that were brought to AfD, otherwise deleted, and/or had other issues. With this in mind I am recommending against any unblock, as you continue to break guidelines despite a very, very clear warning here that you were expected to learn Wikipedia's guidelines. You just seem to be either unwilling or unable to follow guidelines, either of which is bad enough on its own. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  17:38, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * This was posted just after they posted the above comment and again, I recommend against any unblock. They've already been indeff'd before for repeatedly violating copyright guidelines despite many, many warnings and there's absolutely no good reason why they shouldn't have been aware of the guidelines for paid editing, especially as they already received one warning and are already well, WELL aware that they need to follow guidelines to a T. They deliberately ignored the COI guidelines in order to benefit themselves and their clients, something that violates several of Wikipedia's core guidelines and principles. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  17:41, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * In other words, you knew well enough, didn't care, and then continued on your editing path because you stood to financially gain from it. There's no reason why we should believe that you will follow guidelines now, given ample history that shows that you will almost certainly violate other guidelines and continue with the same behaviors that resulted in your prior blocks. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  17:42, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I will declare COI. The copyright issues were some time ago. InfoDataMonger (talk) 17:52, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The problem here is that you have a habit of ignoring guidelines whenever they do not suit your needs. The only time you responded to the repeated warnings and concerns over the copyvio was after you were indefinitely blocked for repeatedly ignoring very obvious warnings and cautions. You were unblocked with a very explicit warning that you need to follow guidelines and heed warnings.
 * Now years later you are again receiving warnings and indications over other, equally serious concerns. Concerns that you have blatantly ignored despite already receiving a block over ignoring warnings in the past. You were warned about editing with a COI and there is no good reason why you should not be fully aware of and complying with these guidelines, given that you were already blocked in the past for ignoring warnings and knew full well that blocking will happen if you repeated these behaviors. You chose to ignore these guidelines over your paid editing and have put out promotional, problematic work.
 * There is no reason for you ignoring these warnings and given that you have repeatedly shown that you will ignore warnings until you are made to stop by blocking you, I can only assume that you will only continue in this behavior with any other issues that arise. You had your second chance and you blew it in order to receive a paycheck. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  18:00, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * To put it in shorter terms, you are already aware of what happens when you ignore warnings over violations of major guidelines. Although this is COI issues and not copyvio concerns, this is still a serious matter and you've shown a clear pattern of behavior where you ignore major, serious guidelines. You were given a second chance and you repeated the same actions in a new arena, so I can only assume that you will repeat the same actions in a different area if you are unblocked. You've given us no reason to believe that you will behave otherwise and to be quite frank, your word is no good in this situation because you already gave your word and you have shown that you are unwilling to follow policy when placed in a similar situation.

InfoDataMonger (talk) 21:50, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Allow me to declare appropriate COI. What paycheck? Since I have been asked to write for Wikipedia on occasion, I am not compensated as you may infer. There was an earlier article that the subject provided minor compensation and the article was deleted for lack of perceived notability. I could not declare COI on a deleted article, at least I do not think. You are familiar with COI, more than I am, as I see you also write for your employer. May I ask how is the best way to achieve this? I do not write for my employer. I ask for constructive advice from you, as you are an admin, I suppose. I have subjects I am interested in to write about and earnestly wish to continue with this privilege. I have COIs to declare and wish to continue to contribute to Wikipedia in a positive manner and following all guidelines. If someone gives me a book to write about, is this a COI that should be declared? This has not happened, but merely a hypothetical inquiry? Thank you for your assistance and helpful guidance. What is the best source to learn more about correcting, repairing, and avoiding this moving forward? InfoDataMonger (talk) 20:39, 30 January 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm moving this below for an easier flow of conversation. Now here's the situation:
 * You were given a link to the COI guidelines last year, which you ignored, and I linked to it above. You have a shown history of repeatedly ignoring warnings whenever it would pose an inconvenience for you. This resulted in you getting indefinitely blocked over copyright violations, during which time it was made very, very clear that you need to pay attention to warnings and you need to learn guidelines. You acknowledged that you need to do both of these things and this was made a condition of your unblock. Now fast forwards to now, where you have been blocked for undisclosed paid editing despite receiving a warning about this and having several articles deleted where people complained of poor sourcing and promotional writing.
 * In both situations you only stopped because you were forced to stop. The first time you said you'd pay attention and not pull this stuff again. However now here we are years later and you're pulling the same stuff. In this case it's undisclosed paid editing and not copyright issues, but the basic problem is the same. Heck, even your argument is the same. We could put in the words "copyvio" for most of this and it'd be the same exact situation. Ignorance is not an excuse in this situation and is a poor argument, as again - your prior unblock made it very, very clear that you need to pay attention to issues and the admin in that situation even correctly stated that they felt that you would just end up in the same boat again.
 * So here we have someone who is doing the same problem but in different areas. They were given some slack the first time, but then turned around and did the same exact thing. To put it bluntly, there is no reason why we should trust your promises as your habits have shown that you do as you please until you are stopped. You claim that you want to improve Wikipedia but put absolutely no effort into heeding warnings, especially as you already know that you need to follow warnings, which frankly makes me question how much you follow all guidelines. Then on top of all of this I've made it very, very clear why you should already be aware of all of this and already be toeing the line, yet you are trying to feign ignorance of COI guidelines. There is no excuse for ignorance in this situation and I'll be very honest, I think that your promises here are empty. You made major mistakes not once, but twice - and in the second case you had every reason to be aware of what you were doing and you ignored those guidelines anyway because they interfered with what you wanted to do. You wrote "what paycheck" yet above you stated that you made edits in exchange for compensation or promise of compensation. You have blatantly contradicted yourself in a situation where blatant honesty would have been far better, as that there might have been a slim chance of an unblock.
 * At this point I have to assume that any promise of following guidelines from this point on are lies you are telling in order to get what you want - an unblock so you can make more paid edits and likely break other guidelines. Whether or not those guidelines would be major or minor is moot. The problem is that you will almost certainly behave in the exact same manner until you receive another unblock. There is no reason for us to believe anything you have written.
 * I'm revoking talk page access, as your responses have essentially been "but I will do better, I didn't know", despite you having good reason to already know better and prior actions. You've even contradicted yourself. I highly recommend against any unblock, as I think it would be an extremely foolish manner. You were given the benefit of the doubt in the past and you've thrown it in the garbage and walked all over it. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  22:28, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Henry P. Iba Citizen Athlete of the Year Award


The article Henry P. Iba Citizen Athlete of the Year Award has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "An extremely long way from being a notable award. Original author has been blocked for undisclosed paid editing of which this was presumably an example."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Unblock request

More information, explanation regarding Unblock request
I may not have worded this properly. I will not make any COI edits. I am done with that mistake. I will refrain from edits that could be considered a COI. I would like to have the privilege restored to edit and contribute to Wikipedia. I do not have any current COIs, as I no longer conduct paid editing of Wikipedia articles. I will declare and keep current the edits that involved COI for undisclosed paid editing. With this request, I am working to follow Wikipedia guidelines for declaring COI and undisclosed paid editing done in the past, and how to move forward to return in good stead with Wikipedia.

Very disruptive editing
Dear admins, when reviewing unblock requests, please note that this author's edits are particularly disruptive to Wikipedia. He created tons of articles with outright lies and hard-to-verify sources. Many of the articles have caused tremendous disruption as journalists use Wikipedia as the starting point of research. I am just stunned. 71.31.30.66 (talk) 03:05, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
