Jorma Taccone
My source for the recent change to Jorma Taccone's page is the person whose page I was editing. Not sure how to cite that appropriately. I'll also be changing his photo and possibly other items.Havilah123 (talk) 18:14, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The trouble is, you can't really cite 'Jorma Taccone said that'. It might seem a little patronising, to think that the subject of the article cannot be referenced as a source, but we need some sort of accessible and hard evidence (a book, a webpage about him or something like that). Check out the Wikipedia page on reliable sources; to quote from WP:PUBLISH, Sources that are not published (e.g., something someone said to you personally) or not accessible (e.g., the only remaining copy of the book is locked in a vault, with no one allowed to read it) are never acceptable as sources on Wikipedia. The photo needs to be licensed under a free licence, which by default is dual-licensed with GFDL and a Creative Commons licence (you can just choose one if you wish).
 * A very important question as well -- are you of some association to Mr. Taccone, and if so, have you recieved payment to carry out any of these edits? Thanks, My name is not dave (talk/contribs) 18:21, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

ILBM
Excuse me, but why did you remove my tool's link from the ILBM articles' utilities? What's the difference between my tool and the others?
 * Because you added an external link, of which removed. XLinkBot, is well, an automated bot (program), which removes links that are listed on her list of references to remove. You reverted that change without any reason in the edit summary box, which led me to think that it was a 'bad faith' revert. Indeed, you are right, this link is not really problematic, but WP:EL does note that external links should not go in the body of the article. Standard protocol is to put them in an 'external links' section at the bottom of the article. I will go do that, and see if any other human editor 'swoops by' and removes it.

Pat Weisner
Incorrect information added to this name should be deleted. Jeandebougett (talk) 08:45, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It's not incorrect at all. The infomation has a citation, which restates exactly what it is stating. Thank you for finally explaining your edits, however. My name is not dave (talk/contribs) 08:48, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * There was some malicious stories added under the coaching section which I deleted. I also noticed the story about the car being abandoned which is not the true story. It should be taken out as Pat did not abandon the car even though a newspaper alleged he did. If it must remain it should say 'it is alleged he abandoned a car' at best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeandebougett (talk • contribs)
 * Well that's precisely the point. Since there never is a 'truth', we simply restate what is said in published and reliable sources. Now I must admit, local newspapers in the UK can be pretty shabby on the facts, my local one is just a disaster. I would go with putting something like 'In 2010 the Manchester Evening News reported [...]'.
 * In addition, please make sure you sign every talk page post with four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of it, and correctly indent your messages, which involves placing one more colon on the front of your message than the preceding message.

 * Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
 * Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
 * Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

YUL
I am indeed ingage in an edit war. What I'd like to know though is why are you thinking that I am wrong in this case? Why does I am pointed to be engaged? Why don't you told Garretka to stop editing back MY edit? WoWowYUL (talk) 12:06, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, as I stated, nobody owns pages. The reason you are, "wrong", is that you haven't provided a very good explanation of why you think your edits are justified. We're all bound to the same old beautiful policies and guidelines, and there ought to be a better exception to the rule than what you think you should happen with "your" edits on "your" article. I don't think you'd be using that terminology with such emphasis if you thought positively of those edits. Yes, maybe I should have warned Garretka, but I'm not just going to token warn him now, that would be inappropriate. Be careful though, you are already on 3RR, Garretka is on 2RR. <sup style="color:#093">My name is <small style="color:#4000FF">not <sup style="color:#093">dave (talk/contribs) 12:15, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Request on 16:22:48, 1 August 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Bchilds
Hi, you recently rejected my submission of Howard Sachs as a notable person because I did not sufficiently establish notability. I was wondering if you saw the reference from the National Institute of Mental Health entry on the History of Oxytocin that referred to Sach's research. Is this the sort of thing that establishes notability, or are you looking for something else? Should I increase the number of references of this sort? I would be grateful for guidance because I would like to resubmit the article. Bchilds (talk) 16:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Bchilds Bchilds (talk) 16:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I was just trying to measure this against the the professor test. When I looked on Google Scholar to see how Sachs' papers were cited, it was around 259 citations. Now, looking at this again, I am inclined to accept it. But please, fix those section headers. You'll note that no featured article Has Section Headers That Look Like This -- we have a Manual of Style here.

No conflict of interest
As I told you, I am not being paid for these edits. There is no conflict of interest. All of the content I provided is factual and objective.

 * This is not about the content of the edits, but your relation to the company, regardless of renumeration for this or not. Could you confirm that? Could you confirm that you have no relation to Asbury Automotive Group? Nonetheless, what you have posted as the company's history has a large chunk uncited, and is a copyright violation (this is the report). <sup style="color:#093">My name is <small style="color:#4000FF">not <sup style="color:#093">dave (talk/contribs) 20:03, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Review of Draft:Erich Reimer
I was asked on the IRC help channel about your review of Draft:Erich Reimer. I have two comments:
 * 1) I do not think it is appropriate to decline an otherwise acceptable draft because there's one capital letter where there should be a lowercase letter. Fixing that issue would have cost you less effort than commenting on it. No article will ever be deleted because of use of title caase; the purpose of AfC is not to make good articles but to keep out the stuff that would otherwise need to be removed.
 * 2) The draft is heavily based on primary sources (Reimer's commentary or the websites of organizations and publications he's affiliated with). Reliable third-party sources are few and far between and mostly do not discuss Reimer in much detail (the best I found covered his student council campaign, though I didn't check all). An entire section was based solely on primary sources. That is a problem that may lead to declining the draft, on grounds of verifiability and, arguably, notability. Huon (talk) 17:03, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I decline things like this because I think that users should learn MoS stuff, well, just general convention of how an article is formatted. If I subtlety just changed that I don't think they would benefit knowledge of stuff like that. AfC articles are full of articles not abiding to MOS:HEAD, and have always been. A few days ago I actually made that section of the MOS more clear, placing emphasis on section headers Being like this And Not Like This. It is so common. I also emphasised this in the last page of the Article Wizard, and before in fact. You know, the first thing that I notice as a reader, and I think even someone without knowledge of how things are here, would be formatting. <sup style="color:#093">My name is <small style="color:#4000FF">not <sup style="color:#093">dave (talk/contribs) 17:11, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * You could accept the draft, clean it up, and then leave a message for the author explaining what you did and why. You could even accept it and leave a message for the author to please clean it up. If the same article, created without going through AfC, would not be deleted, the draft should not be declined. Otherwise we're setting the bar at AfC so high that we're effectively telling people to not bother with that process at all because creating live articles directly is more likely to work. Huon (talk) 17:43, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, you know what, I never thought of doing that. Good idea, thanks! <sup style="color:#093">My name is <small style="color:#4000FF">not <sup style="color:#093">dave (talk/contribs) 17:58, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Tagging of Enthira kaalai
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Enthira kaalai. I do not think that Enthira kaalai fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because '''This actually does exist, and is now cited to a reliable source. It may not be notable, but it was not "made up"'''. I request that you consider not re-tagging Enthira kaalai for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page.

Request on 15:11:56, 9 August 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Danlipka
(I'm not exactly sure how this works, so I apologize for anything in advance) I had asked a volunteer to help create a wikipedia page for the Making Headway Foundation (a non-profit that helps kids with brain cancer). They put something substantial up there, but I guess there were problems with it and it was removed (or put back into draft form. The volunteer asked that I contact Wikipedia user DESiegel for help, which I did. He helped reformat the information and removed a lot of it, leaving behind the core information and the news sources for each bit.  Based on this, I resubmitted the draft.  However, you denied it because there were no changes (but there were a lot of changes since it was first submitted (mostly removing anything remotely promotional)).  I'm not sure how to proceed and any specific guidance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much. Daniel Lipka (talk) 15:11, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Can you confirm this? I can't see your name in the page history of the draft. <sup style="color:#093">My name is <small style="color:#4000FF">not <sup style="color:#093">dave (talk/contribs) 17:37, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Just checking in to see if DESiegel responded. Here is the link to our correspondence (if that helps) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:DESiegel#Help_Republishing_Page. I think he is listed as a connected contributor. Thank you. Daniel Lipka (talk) 14:53, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * In the hope of helping to clarify the situation, User:ExploreWiki was hired through Upwork to create the Making Headway Foundation article, and subsequently did so. The article was moved to draft space when ExploreWiki was blocked, as the article lacked sufficient sources to warrant being in mainspace. Since then, My name is not dave is correct in that no edits have been made to the article, and no new sources have been added to address the problem raised when it was moved to be a draft. I'm a bit uncomfortable with describing an editor hired by the organisation as a "volunteer", as that seems misleading, but the core problem is that nothing has been done to address the issues with the article. - Bilby (talk) 15:12, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the update and I understand your concern. As a complete novice to Wikipedia, I tried to do this myself (and list as a connected person), but I couldn't figure out the formatting. I saw that I could hire somebody to help me with the formatting for a nominal cost; however, that person was very misleading and didn't explain the issues that I am now facing. Originally, I had provided significantly more information for possible inclusion on the page (all with sources from credible media). After I learned that there was going to be a problem, I asked a volunteer to help rewrite the page so that it might be approved. I also was referred to DESiegel for assistance. After that, the page was edited down to what it is now (which is very brief, completely supported by credible sources, and does not include any promotional information). The draft was rejected because no changes were made, but there had been a lot of changes (I can send a document with what was originally up there). I just looked at the draft and I did find one error on the citation, in which a book didn't have the title (our organization was highlighted in Bill Clinton's book). So I just added the title and the pages numbers (maybe that is what needed to be changed in the first place). In the end, I apologize that I didn't go about this the right way. The Making Headway Foundation has been helping children with brain tumors for over 20 years and are one of the largest organization that focuses on this issue. I'm not sure if this merits a Wikipedia page or not. If you think that it might, can you please help. I significantly appreciate your expertise and what you do to help keep Wikipedia credible. I defer to your judgement and am happy to help in any way possible. Thank you for your understanding Daniel Lipka (talk) 16:11, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I have not a single clue on this subject. I am just a recent changes patroller, who noticed you edit warring. I am a white male from the south of England...so no...I have no vested interests in this. Nonetheless you have made 4 reverts to one page in a day, which will probably get you blocked. I have told you that WP:BRD is the general way things work, but one has gone on the offence. Oh well. <sup style="color:#093">My name is <small style="color:#4000FF">not <sup style="color:#093">dave (talk/contribs) 17:11, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I have reverted 4 times because one editor named Foodie 377 is repeatedly vandalising the Reddy dynasty wikipedia page though sources are provided. He reverted more times than me check once Weckkrum (talk) 17:16, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No, those edits are not vandalism. Thus not justified. <sup style="color:#093">My name is <small style="color:#4000FF">not <sup style="color:#093">dave (talk/contribs) 17:19, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 07:29, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Evidence
Hello! A user by the name of Jim1138 has been nagging me and vandalizing my edits. He has asked me to provide proof of your verification and thanks from the other day as proof that the edit is suitable; may I please be granted such assistance?

Thanks mate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Honved2018 (talk • contribs)
 * Hello, can you please elaborate further in regards to this:


 * "I thanked you for your edit because you used the edit summary to explain why you were deleting it. Now, that does not mean that I raised suspicion at your edits. They seemed a little POV-like, but because I do not know anything about the topic, I left it for someone else to judge. Clearly my initial suspicion was right."


 * I'm a bit confused also, because you said you held suspicion yet didn't.


 * Thanks mate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Honved2018 (talk • contribs)
 * Nag time - there is a huge notice on top of the edit box, which tells you what you must do on my talk page or any talk page. So sign your edits please. Also indent your messages, which is something not mentioned. I fixed the indenting for you, note how the next message gets an extra colon at the start of it in edit mode.


 * Nonetheless, I thought my message was quite clear. I don't support your edits, never did, but I only left them because I'm not an expert in Romanian history, I'm just a boring old recent changes patroller. Your edits seemed controversial to me, and I would have reverted again if I would have known better. <sup style="color:#093">My name is <small style="color:#4000FF">not <sup style="color:#093">dave (talk/contribs) 09:40, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

September 2017
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Hungary. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  13:57, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I can't see any way that doing five reverts in about fifteen minutes (and using Huggle on something that another admin had already called as a content dispute and hence not a clear and obvious exemption of the three revert rule exemption) is not straightforward edit warring. You may wish to read the three revert rule policy page. Sure, this is inappropriate (indeed, it earned an instant block), but if you had another editor continually revert your attempts to improve the encyclopedia, you'd probably snap too. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  14:14, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Until the genuine mistake of reverting what started to become sourced (thought not all), additions of unsourced content are things I wouldn't call 'improvements'. <sup style="color:#093">My name is <small style="color:#4000FF">not <sup style="color:#093">dave (talk/contribs) 14:21, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Happens to me all the time. I realise users turning up and adding unsourced content on a potential GA is infuriating, but as long as we have WP:3RR, you can't violate it to get your own way. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  14:23, 13 September 2017 (UTC)


 * No objections to an unblock; I subscribe to the general concepts that adminship is "not a big deal" and that other admins should be allowed to undo actions they disagree with or where the circumstances change. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  14:36, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
