User talk:Sylvan1971

Welcome!

Hello, Tbliss558, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome!  Ravenswing  00:34, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Fund for wild nature
A tag has been placed on Fund for wild nature, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.  Ravenswing  00:34, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Daily palette prefix:Wikipedia:Deletion review


Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: 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. Reaper Eternal (talk) 00:23, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robert Piser, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Berkeley. 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.

Palmer Report
Please seek consensus, rather than making the same edit against consensus every few months. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:22, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

These use of descriptives such as “fake” are not supported by the references. If you review my changes instead of simply rolling them back, you will see I did not delete or change the opinions of the sources. What I changed was Wikipedia’s statement of fact that some content is “fake.” This is far from the neutral dictionary Wikipedia is intended to be. It smacks of political bias. Please undo your undo. Tbliss558 (talk) 23:33, 9 April 2022 (UTC)


 * There is a strong consensus to use that label. The are numerous discussions with analysis of sources in the talk page archives. The onus is on you to get consensus for the change you'd like to make. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:36, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Do you have any evidence of this supposed "consensus"? The onus is on you to provide it - if it exists.
 * My edits reflect the fact that I am simply looking for a neutral tone. You appear to have an axe to grind.

Every source is either a trivial database entry or has Bruce Ryan mentioned in one line - there is no substantive coverage here at all. If you don't have any additional sources with at least 2-3 paragraphs about Bruce Ryan, specifically, it will just continue to be declined, wasting your and our time.

Concern regarding Draft:Bruce Ryan (production designer)
Hello, Sylvan1971. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Bruce Ryan (production designer), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 19:02, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Sylvan1971. 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 conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. S0091 (talk) 20:53, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Bruce Ryan (production designer)
First, you need to be transparent about any WP:COIs you have and make the appropriate declarations on your User page. I do think Ryan meets the notability criteria given the awards but it needs a lot of clean up to remove all the puffery and statements that fail verifiability thus violates WP:BLP so is not in an acceptable state. If you do these things, leave a note on my talk page and I will review the draft. And, yes, Wikipedia is inconsistent for various reasons and in many ways that is a feature rather than bug (i.e. policies/guidelines/norms change, we are humans, etc.) yet also can be unfair or at the very least annoying. S0091 (talk) 21:38, 25 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the helpful suggestions and advice you gave with respect to the Bruce Ryan page. I endeavored to make the changes you suggested, removing unverifiable or subjective information (based on IMDB credits which Wikipedia chooses not to recognize). Please review at your convenience and let me know if you think it needs additional revision or can be moved along the publication process. Thanks again. Sylvan1971 (talk) 22:20, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Also address your COIs. For the draft there are still unsourced statements and Def Poetry Jam was not his show.  IMDB is not a reliable source because users can update profiles and they do not fact check (same with Discogs). I will use IMDB for hints (not as source) when looking for potential sources, though.  For example, I research a particular claim to see if I can find a reliable source like the AFI catalog or news sources.  S0091 (talk) 22:37, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your reply. Ryan indeed designed the Def Poetry Jam. I’ll add an appropriate source. Sylvan1971 (talk) 16:16, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello - Last November you suggested "Ryan meets the notability criteria given the awards but it needs a lot of clean up to remove all the puffery and statements that fail verifiability thus violates WP:BLP so is not in an acceptable state." I believe I have made all appropriate changes. I plan to move this to mainspace (no, there is no COI) but wanted to give oyu another opportunity to comment before doing so. Thank you. Sylvan1971 (talk) 23:02, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your prompt reply. Ryan did indeed design the Broadway (and touring) Def Poetry Jam. The source I noted (not IMDB; as I wrote earlier, I know IMDB disallows this source) indicates this. I have 5 other sources confirming this. Perhaps you are thinking of the tv series. Please advise regarding "unsourced statement." Thanks again. Sylvan1971 (talk) 01:43, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

 * There is no COI with respect to this page. (There is a COI with respect to another article I am editing and I will address that separately.) Your accusation of a "history" of "multiple COIs" is without foundation and borders on libel. Please retract it. Sylvan1971 (talk) 19:48, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Be careful about using language like "libel" as that could be construed as a legal threat (read that) which is a blockable offense but I don't think that is your intention. I could lay out your history, the connections across articles you have edited and another account which dates back to 2008 (not your name change, another account which shares the name of an article you created) but I don't want to to do that.  I engaged with you in good faith, stated you needed to disclose three times yet your ignored it time and again.  You do not need to disclose who you are or the specifics behind the COIs, only that you do.  First confirm you have read WP:COI and relating specifically to Bruce Ryan, please confirm you do not know him/have any affiliation with him that meets the definition.  S0091 (talk) 20:41, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * As I wrote in my message directly above, there is no COI relating to Bruce Ryan.
 * I am not aware of a COI dating to 2008 or elsewhere (except one, as noted above). If you are, please let me know and I will do my best to address. Perhaps you are referring to Fund for Wild Nature, a 501(c)(3) I briefly and modestly supported 15 years ago ago and was surprised at that time to find Wikipedia did not have an article about. So I submitted one, which has been reviewed and edited by other editors 45 times in the 15 years since that time. In good faith, I have no connection with the organization and do not believe there was ever a COI.
 * I do not have another Wikipedia account so please let me know what you refer to by "another account which shares the name of an article you created."
 * Finally, my name change was simply to become less identifiable, as are most editors including yourself. It's no secret; it's obvious to any editor who chooses to look at my history.
 * In closing, I do appreciate your engagement and hope we can move forward with the Bruce Ryan article, one issue at a time. This dialog is intended to demonstrate I am trying to meet Wikipedia's standards. Thank you. Sylvan1971 (talk) 00:39, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
