New Page Patrol
Hi Phearson. Thank you for patrolling new pages. There is a current move to improve the quality of patrolling - you can help! Please take a moment to read the updated page at WP:NPP, as well as WP:DELETION and WP:CSD. It's quite a bit to read, but it will make patrolling so much easier for you. If there's anything that's not quite clear, you are most welcome to ask me on my talk page. You might even have some suggestions on further improvements to the new NPP page. Happy editing! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 19:38, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

An aside
About this: I support your decision to stay focused on the subject. In passing, I want to say that my suggestion is more practical than it sounds. Reliable sources such as newspapers will actually issue corrections when errors are brought to their attention; that's one the activities that gives a source the "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" that WP:V requires.

I'm glad that you're keeping track of this article. It seems to benefit from having a "guardian editor" to keep the POV pushing in check. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:47, 8 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand that papers do this, as I actually had to call in to make a minor correction for my Grandmother's Obituary, but the considering the age of these sources, a correction would not be feasible. Would you agree that a couple new sources with clear cut denial of MLM and actual statement of DS be better? Phearson (talk) 23:35, 8 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I think that we need a clear-cut denial of MLM (or a direct statement of "SLM"). It's not good enough for us to just say, "well, we know that the sources are wrong".
 * I suppose that we could omit the MLM claim (the student newspaper is a weak source, for example, and we could use some WP:Editorial discretion), but we can't contradict the sources based on our own knowledge. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:24, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: II (Xerath album)
Hello Phearson. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of II (Xerath album), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''A7 does not apply to albums. It may well not meet WP:NALBUMS, but you will have to use PROD or AfD.''' Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 19:04, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Defensive design for the web
Hello Phearson, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Defensive design for the web, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to books.

Proposed deletion
Hi there,

With regards to your proposed deletion of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Business_Group, could you please elaborate on "bad refs to user generated content", e.g. please let me know which reference is of concern? That way I can fix it immediately.

Cheers.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Chicago2011/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Chicago2011/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Housekeeping, article is no longer being discussed for incorporation for the mainspace version.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Phearson (talk) 16:48, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Altered speedy deletion rationale: Dolphin facts
Hello Phearson. I am just letting you know that I deleted Dolphin facts, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk about it! 15:20, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Riyadh Military Hospital topic:help
I wrote an article and updated its inlinks as well as citation. But you put a speedy deltion note on it. Please check that article again and guide me properly, thanks User talk:Dr.faizanali


 * Hello, the article in question was tagged for Discussion on deletion. Not Speedy Delete. You can view the discussion here: and at the time of this writing it appears that the article will be kept. But do remember to add secondary sources to your articles next time. Phearson (talk) 17:00, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanking you in anticipation, I added some other citations as well on the topic. Please also elaborate what does "secondary source" means? Since i am just one year old wikipedian baby, so better if you guide me properly ;)) (talk) 17:10, 14 May 2011


 * See WP:42. For example, if I somehow invented something, and announced it on my website. That would be a primary source. If somebody else, (like the news) also reported on my invention to the world, then it would be a secondary source, and that would help with WP:V. Of coarse, this isn't as simple as that, but you understand the idea. Phearson (talk) 17:19, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Taken
Doesn't seem to be a hoax - Amazon don't think so, anyway http://www.amazon.com/Taken-Left-Behind-Young-Force/dp/0842383514. Not my sort of reading (even though I do often read young people's books...) so I'll leave the question of notability to you. Peridon (talk) 17:09, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Tip: drop a title into Google with Amazon outside the quotes. If it comes up, look for the publisher on the Amazon page (scroll a fair way down). If it's lulu, AuthorHouse, PublishAmerica etc, it's self published. And fairly certainly non-notable. If it's a recognised normal publisher, it could be notable. If Amazon don't list it, it's 99.99% certain to be non-notable or non-existent. Amazon will list almost anything. Peridon (talk) 17:13, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll remark it then as A7 with a PROD. Phearson (talk) 17:20, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Good thinking. A7 is basically for things with people or pets in. (But not schools.) Companies (but not products), clubs (unless you can hit people with them), people, named or identifiable individual animals, churches (but not the buildings), bands (unless rubber) - you get the idea. Peridon (talk) 17:32, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Correcting/removing broken links?
Hi @Phearson, what do you recommend doing for broken links in articles? I thought content must be verifiable? The Endgame Systems article seems to have a lot of broken links. Thanks, Factchecker77 14 May 2011 Factchecker77 (talk) 23:47, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Large edit of Woods Coffee Page
Hi Phearson, I am new to wikipedia and I work for and represent The Woods Coffee. I noticed yesterday you made a large edit of our page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woods_Coffee), bringing it down to only a few sentences. Can you explain why? Was our information not cited correctly? I would like to revert to an older version which included more information, but maybe there is something I need to do first to make our information valid. Thanks for your time.

Jessicamarlae (talk) 17:30, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


 * See your talk page for a reply. Phearson (talk) 17:51, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

We have had vandalism and recent attacks on our wiki page. I am trying to figure out if the changes made were done rightfully or not. Can you explain why you changed the page?

Jessicamarlae (talk) 18:10, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, first off, let me correct you on one point. Per WP:OWN not one person/entity owns a page on wikipedia. When text is entered and submitted, it is irrevocably licensed under the CC-BY-3.0, allowing any one to edit as they please, unless the content is subjected to copyright from elsewhere.
 * As for the changes I made, I contacted the Content notice board for advice regarding the section about its locations. I felt it was promotional in nature, and another editor agreed. Another editor said that it was not WP:UNDUE, but I felt that it was promotional per WP:SOAP. Phearson (talk) 18:46, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I have added a comment to User talk:Jessicamarlae. There is information about Woods Coffee from secondary sources that is appropriate to a Wikipedia article and pertinent to Wikipedia readers. I have no formal affiliation with Woods Coffee. Early versions of the page were overly commercial, but they could be reverted and edited to a more NPOV. Dubyus (talk) 08:06, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I am not sure what you mean. I understand you may be a happy customer of this establishment and may want to help it in anyway you can. But quite currently, the location don't appear to be individually notable, thus not needed in their article. Phearson (talk) 09:42, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Dubyus, you just want to propagandize for Woods Coffee. You keep saying over and over again that you are not affiliated with Woods Coffee in any way, and it is starting to sound a little untrue.  People like you anonymously propagandizing for corporations are what is killing Wikipedia. You aren't any better than any other fraudster with an ax to grind. 140.160.191.97 (talk) 21:43, 20 June 2011 (UTC)


 * WP:WQA has been notified of your dispute. This needs to stop. Phearson (talk) 13:50, 21 June 2011 (UTC)


 * There is no sign that anything is happening at WP:WQA. I log in and use my Wikipedia name. I am repeatedly attacked by an anonymous editor from a Western Washington University IP address (seems to be the same person each time). It's clear that I've gone over the line with responding angrily to these attacks, most of which are as devoid of fact as the one above. That has been remarked on my talk page. It's easy to manage someone who can be identified. What is the WP process for WP:WQA involving anonymous attacks? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dubyus (talk • contribs) 17:20, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

You can try your hand at WP:ANI and show them the IPs. However, most that could come of that is that they will softblock the addresses, forcing login only from those IPs. But I recommend that nothing be done at this time until they attack again, as the edits appear to be stale at this time. Your own editing will also come under scrutiny as well, as you need to inform those IPs that they have been mentioned at ANI, and they will point out your attempts to WP:OUT them. Phearson (talk) 13:53, 28 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I've avoided doing anything about the IP addresses because they originate at Western Washington University. It doesn't seem right to penalize many people for the behavior of a few. I also took your advice and buttoned my lip. The activity on the pages in question seemed to quiet down when other people started looking things over. Thank you for getting involved. I didn't think that the treatment of all the people involved with Woods was fair. A week ago today, I met the infamous Wes Herman for the first time. He was in the coffee shop with his ~2 year old granddaughter. Seems like an ordinary quiet guy. The coffee servers seem to run the show in the shops...quite sweet people. Thanks again, Phearson. --Dubyus (talk) 18:11, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Phearson. Thanks for patrolling new pages - it's a very important task! I'm just letting you  know however,   regarding Pinterest, that tagging articles for speedy deletion  moments after creation as lacking context (CSD A1) or content (CSD A3), and articles being  created through Article Wizard, is too  fast. It's best to  wait  at  least  10 - 15 minutes for more content  to  be added, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), and copyright violations (G12) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks. Marcus Qwertyus   05:36, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Help with a company page
Hi,

I work for a marketing firm and we'd love to get a company page up for one of our clients. We've read a lot of Wikipedia guidelines, and understand that the page needs to be neutral. We believe that the company also meets notability standards with publications in Forbes and pubs in the specific industry, but we're new at this so would love your feedback. The company is Angel, an IVR and customer service provider for enterprises located at http://www.angel.com/.

I see that you're taking an "on and off wikibreak," but if you are interested in doing some work we'd love to see if we can work with you. Shoot me an email or ping me back here so we can talk quotes and if this is even possible. I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know if you weren't interested, as well.

EDIT: I removed my personal email know that I know there's an email option within wikipedia that will retain my privacy and save me from spammers. Socialmedia2011 (talk) 19:05, 21 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi there, yes. I would be most happy to assist you. However, it is requested all communication will need to be done on wikipedia for transparency. If there is something private you need to communicate to me, please click on "Toolbox" and "E-mail this user".
 * If you have something like a draft, please type it up under User:Socialmedia2011/sandbox That way, we can collaborate efficiently, transparently, and allow others to scrutinize before moving it to main-space. Also, how were you referred to me? Phearson (talk) 21:06, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Ok, no problem. Are you comfortable talking about costs/what you'd charge to help us on this page? I have literally never interacted on Wikipedia before so please tell me if I'm breaking a rule or being an idiot.

We haven't drafted any current article (we have one they tried to submit two years ago) but we certainly can update it, if this is compliant with COI regs.I myself am being paid to represent the company, and don't actually work there, so I don't know what that adds to the whole situation. We're also working on compiling a list of third party publications that have written about our client. What else would you need from us to get started?

Socialmedia2011 (talk) 14:18, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I do not, nor will I ever accept payment. Like nearly all of the editors on Wikipedia, you will see that we are volunteers trying to to create a free encyclopedia. However, if you feel the need to provide money, you can donate to the wikimedia foundation (note that donation does not imply guaranteed placement of your article, a gift is a gift).
 * I see that you are not just one person, but a marketing company. Per policy, only one person per account. If others are working on the article, they will need to create their own accounts.

Here is a preliminary checklist of things that need to be done:


 * 1) If you are indeed several people working on this article, then all involved will need to read about how to declare a COI.
 * 2) After doing that, staff is to create their accounts and follow the instructions above. The example declaration may be used.
 * 3) If you do not have the old copy of the article, do you know the exact name of the previous article that was on Wikipedia two years ago? I can apply to have it undeleted and moved to the sandbox, so that we can work on the old article and save time. If not, let me know. I will go ahead and started a lead for you at User:Socialmedia2011/sandbox.
 * 4) If you want, you can email me the links of the sources you like to be used. See WP:42 for information on what kind of sources are not to be used. I can tell you that PR websites are a big no-no, as they would most likely fail WP:V. If in doubt, shoot them off to me anyway.

Any question? Let me know. Phearson (talk) 19:59, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

OK, good to know.

1 and 2: This is just me, I'm Tracy. I'll make sure not to share this account information but I'll likely be the one handling this project. I declared a COI on my user page. 3. I'll check with the client on this (my firm wasn't working with them at this point). It was likely "Angel (Company)" or something like this. 4. For PR websites, do you mean something like PRNewswire? We've got plenty of stuff not on there. I'm working on getting a full list but I'll email you what I have.

Also, just realized I never answered your question about how I was referred. It was fromQuora, as I'm sure you could guess.

Thank you soooo much!

Socialmedia2011 (talk) 14:39, 24 October 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem. I have received your list, and I will be going through that shortly. In the meantime, I have placed a request for the article to be undeleted. You may watch here to see if the administrators can locate the article and move it to a second sandbox. Please check with your client if the admins are unable to locate the article. Otherwise, we will need to start from scratch.
 * In response to your question; Yes, PRNewsWire and anything similar does not meet the requirements for WP:V and has been been declared by consensus that it fails WP:R as well.
 * Please be advised, I do work week and weekends and sometimes overnight with no access with a computer, I am most likely unavailable/asleep during normal business hours. You are welcome to edit things in your own space, or seek assistance from elsewhere when I am not available. As a suggestion, You may seek assistance from WP:EAR. If you are stuck, and not sure where to go, place the template in your user talk space, followed by a question. Someone will be along shortly to assist, or try WP:Help desk for assistance on how Wikipedia works. Phearson (talk) 00:47, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Great--I see your request and I will track it. I'm trying to get more information. I do have a word doc copy of the old article--would this be helpful? And if so, where should I post it? I can just copy the content.

Great, I don't have PRNewsWire, or any of the sites Angel sponsors, on the list, so I think we're good.

Crazy work times are fine! I often work crazy hours too but might be slower to respond than I would be in business hours.

not vandalism
Edits like this are not vandalism. In fact, it very much appears to be in good-faith, though uncited and on an article that has been problematic. tedder (talk) 03:25, 5 November 2011 (UTC)


 * While not pure vandalism, a warning was justified as it was nonconstructive. Phearson (talk) 03:27, 5 November 2011 (UTC)


 * It's a poor way for a possibly well-intentioned editor to discover they have been reverted; uw-unsourced1 would be much better, and Template:Welcomeunsourced would be orders of magnitude better. Even if it wasn't a well-intentioned edit, it'll be discovered soon after, but this helps so we don't lose a possibly helpful editor to Wikipedia. tedder (talk) 03:32, 5 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I will keep these templates in mind. Thank you, Tedder. Phearson (talk) 03:41, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

I won't be making any edits from this username, but I wanted to create an account to be able to communicate.

Hello Phearson,

Thank you for your comments on the Conflict of Interest and your referral to the PEW. Although I do work for the PR firm, I am not getting paid for this project. Regardless of this, my question is as follows:

If I am only restructuring the page and adding reliable sources (secondary sources) confirming the validity of this organization not rewriting the content, do I still need to fill out the COI?

Thank you in advance for all your help.

New article
Hi Phearson, I'd like to know whether we can re-publish a deleted wiki article. I wrote an article about my company 1 year back and it got deleted bcoz of my tone of writing. Agree that, if didn't follow wiki encyclopedia style of writing as I was first time on wiki. I would like to re-write the same article and publish it on wiki.

Request your inputs and guidance for completing my article. Await a feedback from you.

Jitheshcxps (talk) 06:24, 15 March 2012 (UTC) 15-03-2012


 * What article was it? Phearson (talk) 13:06, 15 March 2012 (UTC)


 * The article was our corporate wiki titled as "CustomerXPs". Kindly advise me

Jitheshcxps (talk) 06:14, 16 March 2012 (UTC) 16-03-2012
 * I'll have a admin send me the page and I'll sandbox it and have a look. From the looks of things, if you are only trying to get this page on to wikipedia to spread the word about your product, it ain't happening. Phearson (talk) 21:35, 17 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I will rewrite the entire article suitable for wiki. I do not intend to promote my product, this article will help me in better informed employees, partners, existing clients and others who want to know about CustomerXPs as a corporate in brief. We are a venture funded software product company and our products are used in many leading banks. I went through the notability guidelines of wiki and I'd like to share our recognisations and coverages by third party media houses.

Notability Guidelines: "Decent coverage from Reliable Sources" We are featured in: 1) Banktech India 2) The Economic times 3) INC India 4) Cyber Media 5) The Times of India and so on.. And also featured in Yahoo news,Google Finance, Forbes, Business Insider etc. and we won an award from VC Circle - recognizing top 20 tech companies in India. Also got featured in SiliconIndia Entrepreneur Year Book, featuring India’s Most Exciting Companies. Kindly share your inputs for re-structuring the article. Jitheshcxps (talk) 12:21, 19 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Kindly advise me to take this forward.
