Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Thatwhoiswise, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Composite bearing has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. 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 cite the source using an inline citation. 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 or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:09, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Engage:BDR
Hello Thatwhoiswise,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Engage:BDR for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

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. Trivialist (talk) 22:03, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Donner60. An edit you recently made to Brian Anderson (skateboarder) seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 01:28, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Electronic Recycling Association


A tag has been placed on Electronic Recycling Association, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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

Hi, thanks for message. There are still problems you need to address
 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Too many of your references are interviews with the company or press releases, which matters because many are supporting opinions rather than facts
 * it's all about what the company sells, little about the company itself other than its location. To support notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, turnover or profits. For all we are told this could be two men in a shed
 * In general, it has a promotional tone. Positive opinions are presented as facts, for example ref 10 is supporting These acquisitions will help engage:BDR gather more data about its user, and provide exclusive ad placement making them one of the biggest players in the advertising industry., but it's again just repeating what the company has said, not independent analysis
 * You have an honours and awards section, which itself looks spammy as a separate section, but no criticism or any indication that the company is less than perfect
 * If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. In particular, if you have a financial interest, directly or indirectly, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure

A couple of style things. Heading should follow normal text capitalisation rules; prose is better than lists (and looks less spammy since lists are invariably used for so-called awards an honours); I think you may have meant "uninterested", not "disinterested".

In general, to establish notability and avoid deletion as spam, you need more financial and other facts, and less repeating of the company's self-promotion. Good luck Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:27, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

HFCS edit
Hello. You said: I am trying to understand why you deleted by contribution to this article. Is it because it was too detailed and read like a journalism piece. Thatwhoiswise (talk) 03:36, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

That is what I stated in my deletion. Please see WP:NOT. Also be careful about WP:COPYVIO. We can discuss further here on your Talk page if you wish. --Zefr (talk) 03:51, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at HFCS. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Zefr (talk) 03:07, 3 March 2017 (UTC) Thatwhoiswise (talk) 03:28, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
 * I do not believe my edits were disruptive and I did the best to address the concerns you mentioned can you please elaborate on what you find to be disruptive and non-constructive edits, thanks
 * You stated "That wasn't 'removal'; you re-added the same edited content." That was not true, I removed some of it and rewrote other parts of it.
 * Reviewing the history of the article and your Talk page, one would see that this edit and its explanation challenged the editorializing of the content you provided, a position reinforced on your Talk page. Then you returned today to reinstate the same over-explained information which I edited to be more concise. Again with this edit, you wrote over my input with basically the same information, which I claim is disruptive and the early stage of WP:WAR. The article under Manufacturing contaminants is fine now. Please move on. --Zefr (talk) 04:37, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The information added today was toned down and more clear it provided LESS data both quantitative and qualitative. The second time I reworded things and eliminated even more. I was trying to address issues and not be disruptive.
 * When you rewrote this you stated "used in a process that produces traces of mercury" and then omitted the study by the scientist and left the study by the Corn Refiners Association.
 * The process does not produce mercury but mercury is used in the process. and I would like to mention within the article. The two studies that looked into this. Can we work to come up with something that short and sweet that we can both can agree on.

Thatwhoiswise (talk) 05:00, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I performed a further edit with new references. In reviewing the literature, I believe the mercury issue is satisfactorily addressed and referenced as now presented. Further, with the White and FDA references added, the section now has better neutrality. --Zefr (talk) 18:00, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tolerance Rings, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chinese.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. 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:. Bbb23 (talk) 22:36, 20 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Can you explain the results here there seems to be a worryingly close overlap between the accounts editing the same articles. You claim the three accounts were for editing different subject areas but there doesn't seem to be any link (I can find) that meets the areas you mentioned to be editing in above. Amortias (T)(C) 20:05, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Originally the plan was to have different accounts for different subject areas, as mentioned above. But that's not the way it ended up and appologise. I got confused, I left the browser open with one account signed in. when I thought another was signed in. I now understand why people are only allowed one account. Can you please restore "thatwhoiswise" and terminate the other two for all my edits in the past were constructiveThatwhoiswise (talk) 05:28, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
 * As this is a Checkuserblock I'm unable to unblock on my own but im requesting one of the two Checkusers who've responded to comment . Amortias (T)(C) 08:47, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
 * An unblock request could be considered six months from now (standard offer), but I wouldn't unblock now.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:58, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Nahshon Dion Anderson


The article Nahshon Dion Anderson has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Article does not meet GNG as written; only mostly minor coverage in local/questionable RS."

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.
