"undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic,"
Dear User:scope_creep. I have no financial connection with companies and persons, on which I writing. Currently I'm writing on themes about Russian govermantal monopolies and semi monopolies, and about connection of russian billionaries and subbillionaries, and govermental structures.

So. About my investigations and writings. Summa Group - is a biggest nonfinancial corporate fail in Russia from Yukos times. It controlled a biggest Russian South seaport. and goverment subsidied grain export monopoly - United Grain Company. Alexander Vinokurov - the man, who as generally recognized, fronted a privatization of UGC, working in Summa. Later he worked in Alfa Group A1 and outing from this company creates a Marathon Group - a company, that tryes to form together with govermental Nacimbio, create a official monopoly in a mandatory vaccination market. Later he works together with stateowned VTB Bank in combination of defacto nationalisation from Sergey Galitsky and reprivatization of a biggest russian food retail chain Magnit.

I'm planning to write about Summa's, A1 and some other russian billionary structures more. And, as I understand, nobody can say, that the companyes with auditable billionary assets and hundreds of press references are not notable. Please, explain me, how to act in this situation. Not being very experienced at Wikipedia, I would not want to receive this sort of charge in the future. Rus Investigator (talk) 18:37, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for contravening Wikipedia's harassment policy.

 * I've got to say that I'm flabbergasted that an editor of your experience openly admits to having attempted to scare another user into withdrawing their AfD nominations. The undisguised personal attacks were also way beyond the pale. I don't understand the circumstances under which those nominations were made, but that kind of behaviour is absolutely unacceptable no matter what the circumstances were. Girth Summit  (blether)  16:43, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I was in the process of posting a comment in response, but I guess its finished.  scope_creep Talk  16:49, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , I'll just point out that indefinite is not permanently so a response might still be helpful. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:57, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. I'll post a response after dinner.  scope_creep Talk  17:03, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , I came here to say something similar - I'd be happy to read anything you care to say about the situation, and I'll be happy to post it to ANI if you wish, on the proviso that it doesn't contain anything that could be interpreted as harassment or intimidation towards to OP. Girth Summit  (blether)  17:42, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I didn't expect to end up here. I was planning to spend at least another 20 years on Wikipedia and get to 2000 articles. Let me explain the context. There has been several times in the 15 years, four times to be exact including this, when it's set me off and have been warned about it, several times, which is the reason I have taken cognizance of it. I thought I had conquered it, I really did, take a step back and forget about it, move onto something else and have tried to follow that path consistently since then and for the most part over the last seven years I have and its worked. But this time it was different, because it was on a bigger scale and no communication. The thing that really set me off and bugs me to this day and always does, even when I'm at work, is the lack of rational interaction. There was no interaction, no rationale conversation, a meeting of minds, nothing.  It is an assumption that people make, that you'll be OK with it, they won't tell you about, but you'll OK with it, even though you bee. In the scenario they see you as characters on a page and profile, they don't really see you, so they crack on and then it blows up, they get upset and don't understand why the other person gets upset. It's like two folk talking about a third person while they are lying dead of a slab. It is completely non-collegiate. It wouldn't have minded if he had said something to me. The editor asked me a question about one article and I thought, that's it. But nothing else.  A simple talk page message would have been all needed. The very first article I wrote was deleted within minutes, and the deleting editor left me a message, why it was deleted. That was that. No reaction ad it didn't bother in the least, the rationale conversion had taken place. That combined with the amount of work it took me to create those articles. I know any article can go to Afd. I joined and several years later was a big presentation about bias in Wikipedia, it was apparent even then, and I happened to read the Alan Turing article and thought I'd look at the German folk who did the same work, of course there was nothing, not a single article. So I spent the next 5+ years creating 48 articles on them, months upon months of research. All that doesn't excuse my behaviour, but MZTourist didn't even make an attempt to find that out. I did try and scare him into withdrawing them, mainly by channelling my family. I certainly do not believe in revenge, it is hateful and imagine it makes you very bitter, which is itself destructive. I must admit I did want MZTourist to feel some the pain that I was feeling, but I felt as though I was being targetted from his comments. He is not exactly the most sanguine character, having had complaints from several editors in the last couple of year. His comments in the Afd talk, gave me the indication that he was targetting me as he assumed I didn't under notability. None of that is excuse. It is worth noting that all content creators kick up a stink when they're stuff is threatened. Think of Missvain getting several of her articles prodded last week. She went ballistic as I did, pointing out the prodding editor didn't understand what notability is about. Wikipedia gave me a lot, I really care for it and I gave a lot back.   scope_creep Talk  20:41, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , hi, and thanks for this response. I'm lucky in that nothing I've written has ever been nominated for deletion, but I can imagine that it must be frustrating, and that having multiple articles nominated in rapid succession by the same user must be particularly galling - I totally get that you will inevitably have had an emotional response to that. Some of the things you said though, as I think you've realised now from what you've said above, were totally out of line, to the point of being threatening - and you admitted that you were attempting to frighten another user - we simply can't allow that, no matter what the circumstances. I have no interest whatsoever in having an enthusiastic and capable writer prevented from contributing to the project, but I think that you need to give some pretty cast iron undertakings about future conduct if you want to be unblocked. So, what do you want to do now? With the comments about the OP's character in there, I don't feel I can post that at the ANI thread, but if you want to draft something else with some indication of how you'd like to proceed, without commenting on the OP personally, I'd be happy to post that. Or, you can make an unblock request, and I'll leave it to another admin to review. Girth Summit  (blether)  20:56, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I apologise to everybody involved in this. I have really wasted everybody's time, including my own. Looking back, the stress put me into overload and I reacted in a way that I would never react to in normal manner. I would never react like that in manner at work or amongst friends or colleagues and wouldn't expect anybody else to react in that manner towards me. Its entirely outside my normal experience. It's only been a few days and feels like it was last year. I don't think I can come back in the short term certainly. It has completely switched me off and would be unable to start editing. If I did come back, I wouldn't be working in kind of non-mainstream article, particularly of the type that was sent to Afd. I never planned to work on any more of types of those articles anyway except b-dienst which needs some work, but for the most part, what could be discovered was already in and already completed. I was planning to create a couple of templates in the first three months of this year to pull all the articles together. I'm certainly much less attached to the question of deletion than I was before. When you go through this sort of experience, you look back and say, you've done it and you know about and know how approach it without causing any hassle. I don't ever plan to create the kind of article that requires thinking out of what box on constitutes notability. For those articles I took the approach that as Wikipedia was the universal encyclopedic it should have at least some kind of entry on every subject, even if it was obscure, secret or byzantine. That has certainly not worked. They will be mainstream articles and if they put up for nomination, then I don't plan to defend then.  scope_creep Talk  18:49, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, I really understood why you did what you did, but in the eyes of most editors, it'll really mean WP:REVENGE. This is what really forced Onel5969 into an unfortunate retirement, and it's what happened to Missvain recently. Having most of the articles that you suffered to write and create over the years taken to AfD or PROD in quick succession, will really affect anybody, no matter who the person is. I'm really sorry that you have to suffer this and I don't want us to lose another experienced Wikipedian, and especially someone like you, who really have Wikipedia at heart.  NNADI GOOD LUCK  ( Talk &#124; Contribs ) 19:41, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for those words Scope creep - I've posted that at ANI. You haven't requested an unblock, but should you do so, I would have no problem with any admin granting one if you were to accept a one-way IBAN with MZTourist. (I'm confident that you have no intention of harassing them any further anyway, but in a case like this I think that would need to be formalised.) I hope that you do decide to come back, when you're ready - I know that your contributions will be missed at NPP, and I'm sure there are other areas of the project which will be worse for your absence. Girth Summit  (blether)  12:14, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
 * , I suggest you post an unblock request along these lines, I think most of us at least understand your frustration and I think a lot of us are prepared to take your apology at face value. Guy (help!) 09:06, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

February with Women in Red
--Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:31, 28 January 2020 (UTC) via MassMessaging

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020
Hello ,

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
 * Source Guide Discussion

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
 * Redirects


 * Discussions and Resources
 * There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
 * A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
 * A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
 * A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.
 * Refresher

I'd be willing to craft a restriction in such a way as to allow you to participate in discussions of your own work that the other editor has nominated (subject to normal civility requirements), provided you accept an Iban in other forums.

 * Hi scope creep - I'm glad that you want to return to editing. I'm going to log this as a voluntary interaction ban, since there wasn't a formal consensus to enact it as a community-endorsed ban. I'm sure you'll abide by the terms of it, but obviously if you don't then we'd need to go to AN to get it endorsed by the community, which I don't imagine anybody wants. You can see the restrictions which apply to you at WP:IBAN - let me know if you have any questions. Pinging and, who have both commented here in the past concerning this block - just keeping you in the loop.

 * Yip, I'm trying to split the main GDNA article up, to make it smaller. This chunk is 26k off of it. There is two other big sections that can come out, and make seperate articles, which should have the size of it hopefully.  scope_creep Talk  13:24, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Truimsgarry Telford Parliamentary church.png
Thanks for uploading File:Truimsgarry Telford Parliamentary church.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
