ESP Navigator
Thanks for removing my edit to the ESP Navigators page and citing that I have a conflict of interest despite having zero affiliation with ESP Guitars (aside from the fact that I have owned several). Next time you may want to exercise caution before acting, but your talk section indicates you've got a problem with that. "Happy Editing." — Preceding unsigned comment added by ESPKannon (talk • contribs) 21:04, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry you feel aggrieved but your edit was extremely promotional in tone and entirely unreferenced and your user name gives the impression you are editing on their behalf. Cheers.  Teapot  george Talk  21:27, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to be a bother but could you be specific about which bits you need changing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cleftstick (talk • contribs) 14:47, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I assume you are referring to the article Wilson Benesch I added a tag for no references. You state that WhatHifi is a reference but give absolutely no details or in line citations so the article remains unreferenced.  Teapot  george Talk  15:02, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

ACE Limited
George, every edit that I made to in the talk page of the ACE Limited page included a link to where this information was listed and was written in a factual, neutral tone. Instead of not including ANY of the edits, I would prefer you suggested comments to the edits I made. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wellsjam (talk • contribs) 16:03, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The edits I read were clearly promotional in tone and you have a clear conflict of interest promoting your company.  Teapot  george Talk  16:09, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Is sarcasm a normal part of your critiquing? I am just beginning and trying to learn how to do all this correctly in a short time, and don't appreciate it. Also, on my last edit, a spam blacklist msg. appeared. Did you do this and if do why are you doing this? I'll restart the page on the practice wiki space until it meets the rigid wiki standards, so please cease and desist concerning yourself with my page or I will report you. It seems from reading the comments here that others have a similar response. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davenru (talk • contribs) 20:09, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * MY apologies for my sarcasm. I have left you a welcome message which has some links on it that you may find useful. Happy editing.  Teapot  george Talk  20:21, 1 October 2010 (UTC)Thanks, appreciated, I will study what you sent, and as you say, do happy editing! Have a nice weekend.

You recently put down that UKFast is written like an advert. I have put a lot of time into keeping this updated making sure the wikipedia version evolves at the same pace the organisation does. Every article is accurate and has press substantiating every fact ranging from BBC to a wide range of credible news stories.

You have also removed a link to a news story describing as "promotional copyright" however again this was an opinion of a journalist and it appeared in a reputable manchester newspaper.

Are you going to attack all my contributions?

I'd prefer it if you'd help me improve my technique. I am a journalist / copywriter by trade in the world of Rugby. Computers are a bit daunting to me at times, although I am getting there!

By the way, the addition to the internal link which hid the word businessman was very useful thanks.

This is a workplace computer so if there were previous vandalous edits from here I had nothing to do with them, but my edit to the creationism/evolution debate did NOT constitute vandalism.

Creation–evolution controversy
Your reversal and warn of 76.127.169.157 was out of line, the edit was valid and what he removed was against our WP:NPOV policy. Please pay closer attention before you revert and warn.

 * Well I'm backing up the change of the IP editor. Your coming a bit off like IP editors are not allowed to modify the article? Removal of a source (specifically a dictionary source) and removing wording that sounds very un-encyclopedic, regardless of how long it's slipped through the cracks, doesn't require lengthy debate, thats part of WP:BOLD. Reverting it as vandalism (when it CLEARLY wasn't) then issuing a FINAL warning, is abusive. — raeky  T  18:59, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear George, Thanks for your attention and your help in editing my article David Darom. I wrote this article, and since it is a biography of a living person (one of the best nature photographer in Israel) I asked him to review my article, and also to load to the public domai some of his grreat photographs. I understand your comment regrading advertisment and removed the pictures of his books. Please let me know what elso to change. Happy new Year!Ntronb (talk) 18:19, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi again - Regarding your comment about forums: The forum references are of several Book Reviews only or of a factual stating of an event (the Guild's award)... Not just "talk"... I ask Darom to leave the article - since I understood this is not ethic to let someone to edit his own biography.

This is my first article in Wiki and I realy learn a lot - please don't hasitate to wite me more comments and let me know what should I do in order to remove the delete threat. Best Ntronb (talk) 14:41, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I don't agree with you! Did you realy read the article? I think it is not self promoting. I added one sentence with a specific reference. All the rest you have already corrected. I do not have any interest in promoting David Darom. I think you can now remove the banners - as they are not needed anymore.

Dr. Bert M Petersen
Recently a client, Bert M. Petersen, wanted me to update his Wikipedia page. New copy was written, per his request. But, every time I try to put it up, you are taking it down, and then sending me a final warning.

I don't understand. It is basically an expansion of what was already on his page, just an update. You say it is advertising. It is an autobiographical type account, just like the original. What do I need to do, in order to change it, so you will quit reverting it. I am clueless.

The client is angry with me, because his site still looks the same.

I can't even find help on the Internet to figure out why I can't just add the new information and update his page. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hey Teapotgeorge, I would have rather discussed this in person, but why did you discard my change? I only updated a broken link and you threw away the entire external link, the original link was there already.

Why do you have the right to edit this page and what is your connection with Delftware? Just for a start, Delftware is not only used for the Dutch faïence, but also for the English wares made following the same procedure, so called 'English Delftware.'

Please get back to me and also let me know, why a link to one dealers website is acceptable and to another it is not!

Excessive tagging?
This edit seems a bit excessive. Since the article is already undergoing a deletion discussion, is it necessary to point out the issues on the page as well? If the article survives its AFD (doubtful), then the tagging might be useful until a cleanup is effected, but until the AFD is done, it just seems to be a bit of a sledgehammer. Just my 2c worth.

George? I am doing my first page and appreciate your imput, but if you could give it a few days I will make the references and so on appropriately Wiki esque, it is not a personal page by the way, as you are incorrectly guessing. I am working with limited info, and trying to get it up quick, all the reference are a small section of thousands of work by a little known yet long and hard working artist.. he is still going strong at 96. Since he has thousands of legit credits, and all the intro credits are cited below in references I am not sure why you ask for a citation there? This is a sampling.. is less better do you think? I am finding wiki writing much more complex detail oriented than I thought, it will fall into place in all the appropriate ways, but until then I would appreciate it if you could postpone all helping comments for at least a week.

I understand the reason for the removal, there are a lot of links.

Thanks for the coi and notability on Scouts Royale Brotherhood (SRB). I'm an alumnus of Alpha Phi Omega in the United States, SRB developed as an semi-official youth wing of Alpha Phi Omega in the Philippines, but split off and now has collegiate chapters as well. Showing Notability for the Philippine Fraternities gets tough, but there are certainly more chapters than some of the USA groups. I'm definitely monitoring the page, and looking online for both a complete list of the founders and I just changed the list to a bulleted list, but there are probably better ways.

G o 2 Article
I'm not sure why this is flagged as resembling a fan site. Fan sites seek to promote as well as sell group merchandise or music and influence new fans to join some sort of email list. This page is meant only for information (Facts) about the group. As with most Wikipedia articles on artist.

There are hundreds of articles on Wikipedia of the same notability and subject matter as this article. I have listed a few of them. I'm not clear on why this article has been flagged. Wikipedia has a lot of articles that relate to Holy Hip Hop, and just as these articles that I have linked to only give information on the groups pioneering this genre, Go2 should also be noted.

The statement "It may have been edited by a person who has a conflict of interest with the subject matter" is an unfair opinion/judgment of the writer. I can assure you I have no conflict of interest, although I can understand the concern.

I would like to suggest that you tag the article with this tag "This article needs additional citations for verification." instead of totally discrediting it.

I've had trouble getting this article published, can you please help with a solution as opposed to just suggesting it be deleted. I have no affiliation with the group personally and I really believe they should be given every opportunity to have their own wiki article.

Clarification: I didn't want to add the statement about citations on top of all the warnings/flags about the article.

Please refer to the polymer clay talk page
HI Teapot: If you review the links on the polymer clay talk page, I think you will agree that this site conforms to all of Wikipedia criteria for inclusion. I tried to research those criteria fully. I also noticed that no one had been involved in discussion on that page for years. So I tried as best I could to write an objective reference that would be helpful to readers.

The archive site is not promoting any individual or group. It's purpose is education and documentation. It is not commercial - does not sell any product nor does it accept advertising - and it provides background on polymer that is not available anywhere else - neither on the internet nor currently in print.

Since this medium is very new it doesn't have the long tradition - or the kind of historic documentation that other art media have.

Under these circumstances, I hope you will consider undoing your edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Color&light (talk • contribs) 15:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Actually, if you will check the edit history you will see that the original reference to the polymer art archive was part of a very lenghty entry made by someone else - a third pary that I do not know. It stood for many months. Then last week one of the artists mentioned in the original entry added her own website link causing Ronz to delete the entire entry.

Christopher Richard Barker
What is your problem? Clearly you have taken personal offence and are now nit-picking. If you would simply read the pages cited / linked to, or click on the links cited on the pages cited / linked to, you would instantly obtain proof validating the claims.

You are being malicious and unprofessional. You are costing me huge amounts of time just because you are too lazy to read through the citations provided. For example, it is easily proven that Barker contributed two stories to Supernatural Tales, but because you couldn't be bothered to scroll down the page then you missed them.

I have repeatedly asked that this matter be referred to a higher authority. Tomorrow I shall do so myself by contacting somebody high up in Wikipedia, and ask them to look over my article, and scrutinise your unfriendly and trigger-happy behaviour.

(Curemaniac (talk) 22:46, 14 October 2010 (UTC))
 * I missed the first mention because the page is an image not searchable type. Your reference http://www.locusmag.com/index/yr2004/b61.htm#A2071 does NOT mention Barker and making insulting remarks is likely to end up in you being blocked.  Teapot  george <sup style="color:blue;">Talk  22:54, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

It does if you click on the 'Contents' page. Would you like me to link to the 'Contents' page instead?

I am sorry if I offended you but I am a newbie and your revisions and behaviour strike me as aggressive and non-proactive. After all, it was easily proven that Barker had contributed stories to Supernatural Tales, wasn't it? You would have seen this had you scrolled down the page or done a simple page search on the name 'Barker'.

I am not surprised that many of the authors and celebrities I know do not have Wikipedia entries given the negative experiences I have had today. Nothing controversial or inflammatory was said in the original article yet it was instantly torn to shreds. It would be far more helpful had you emailed me direct or sent me a message raising your concerns - perhaps giving me five or seven days to effect changes or cite proof - than this sudden and savage reaction to the article.

I thought Wiki was meant to be user-friendly and an online resource of inexhaustible knowledge. I have spent several hours creating a legitimate new article and have been treated like a lamb straying into a lion's den.

(Curemaniac (talk) 23:05, 14 October 2010 (UTC))
 * Yes a more direct link would be helpful there are around 50 "contents" links on that page, how is anyone supposed to find the reference?

Dear Teapotgeorge,

I am sorry about your concern regarding a conflict of interest on my part related to my edits on the Arsenal Technical High School page. I am only trying to flesh out this page similarly to other high schools and to provide information regarding Tech that other editors, especially those who are not alumni, either have not included in the page or do not know. Hopefully, I have been providing this information from a neutral point of view and will continue to do so in the future. Please communicate with me and/or modify what I have written or will write, when you see that it is not from a neutral point of view. Thank you.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. You have been notified.
 * I was not attempting to vandalise it, only to Wikify it. The discussion for deletion is something the community will have to decide upon. As I have already decided to retire I will not fight this battle, just not worth it. The only thing I can do is follow procedure and bring this to the attention of the administrators. Perhaps they will protect you, perhaps not. In the end it is Wikipedia that suffers, this sort of behaviour does not work toward maintaining or improving Wikipedia. Therefore contravening a core policy. --JHvW (talk) 22:26, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

TEAPOTGEORGE - PLEASE CAN YOU CHECK OUT THIS RHODES WEBSITE
Hi there Teapotgeorge. I wonder whether you would be so kind as to check out my large and very comprehensive website on Cecil John Rhodes, ie www.cecilrhodes.co.za. I have tried to 'external link' it to the main Cecil Rhodes entry on Wikipedia, but it got automatically rejected because it was a 'private' website. Nothing is being promoted on this website, and I'm sure you will agree on looking at it that it will be an immensely useful source of information about Cecil Rhodes, who I have been researching (here in Cape Town where he lived) for the past 20 years.

Speedy deletion nomination of Adelina ismaili


A tag has been placed on Adelina ismaili requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 16:09, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

you've put a COI tag on the entry for Archives & Museum Informatics (disclosure: in which I am a partner) perhaps because it and Museums and the Web were both edited by someone calling themselves Museumstaff10.

You flagged Jo Hamilton's page with COI several months ago - presumably because I edited it I'm guessing. It's true I work with Jo, however I'm wondering if since no-one has AFAIK contradicted my additions/changes we would be ok to remove that tag?

O'Neill of Clanaboy
User talk:HRO'Neill and Hugo Ricciardi O'Neill. This new contributor is very, very likely the Prince himself, who is the Chairman of The Standing Council of Irish Chiefs and Chieftains and an internationally recognized royal person. Someone close to him was responsible for the creation of the articles and possibly some later additions, and now he has probably shown up himself. Clanaboy is known to be quite knowledgeable, and I've got books discussing him and his family, to be found in the references for Gaelic nobility of Ireland. They are very well known and all that genealogical material is fine for a family of this type. We find it all over Wikipedia with royal and princely families. It's just what they do.

Since he didn't make any edits to the section discussing the O'Neill title dispute, for which also read Gaelic nobility of Ireland, can we remove the tag? Thanks for being vigilant, btw. DinDraithou (talk) 23:12, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Now nobody knows what's going on, there being all three of them now. Clanaboy is human and even he may be tempted to say this or that if he returns at all. According to some probably worthless pieces of paper both he and Tyrone are distant 16th century cousins of mine through the FitzGeralds so I have no position, in case you were wondering what I might have to do with any of it.

Flightglobal
I'm confused as to what you want to happen to this article. You have placed a COI tag on it but write that it has been nominated for speedy deletion, which seems not to be the case. I have no serious issues with your recent edits to remove very minor "puffery", except to remark that Flightglobal's online archive (1) truly is notable, in that it provides continuous coverage of the development of aviation from 1909 to the present day and a remarkable photographic archive, (2) it is a specialist publication for the aviation industry and (3) the 2010 award is prestigious within the industry.

This is a unique global resource. The edits made by Michael Targett are productive and uncontroversial, responsible and NPOV. Although he has an undoubted link to the subject, I see no evidence of COI behaviour and would asked you (a) to remove the COI tag (b) remove the request for speedy deletion (if indeed one has been made) and (c) welcome the willingness of Flightglobal's editor to co-operate with WP in a responsible and constructive manner.

 * Sorry I didn't see that. My reasoning is two fold the reference clearly states there were many others involved.."Project was managed by Fachtna McAvoy between 2000 and 13th September 2007. From the 15th of June 2007 the archaeological work was directed by Jim Leary. Sarah May was the Project Manager between September 2007 and November 2008, and Brian Kerr was the Project Executive during this period. After November 2008 Jim Leary took over Project Management and Sarah May became the Project Executive. The Silbury Hill Conservation Project was under the overall project management of Rob Harding during the whole period and Amanda Chadburn was the Inspector for Ancient Monuments."

What constitutes spam?
Hello there. I just noticed that in the entry on the fashion designer Olivier Theyskens you deleted a link to a feature about him in the online edition of the UK Vogue as "spam".

 * See Teapot ''' george  <sup style="color:blue;">Talk  23:06, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * A lot of my early edits took this form -- not to promote the National Portrait Gallery, but because I thought such a link enriched the article. It seems to me at least possible that linking to Vogue in an article on a fashion designer would be motivated by the same thought. Looking through Spam, I can't quite see that this link unambiguously falls under its provisions. In the related pages, it seems to me that this sort of link could well fall under point 4 of External_links. But as I say, I am no expert. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 23:15, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I've started a discussion with the editor here about the issue and some image related issues with the article, but I may not be getting thru to them. Maybe you would have more luck? I'm trying to avoid noticeboards and admin intervention for now, altho it may escalate to that if the editor doesn't address the issues. Any help would be appreciated.

 * Comment Hi There, In spite all my effort, I don’t expect any understanding or help from the other side regarding the English version of the article about Alexander Voytovych. Therefore if one insists on deleting this particular article then go ahead as it seems to me there is no room for democratic thinking on your website whatsoever. I’d like to add a few more words as my final statement. Wikipedia says: “Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability. The art works and art life of the artist is the sourcefor academic press, Ukrainian media, academic institutions, as well as poets, writers and publications use his paintings & drawings to illustrate books. The artist takes a part in a busy art life in the Ukraine presenting a number of exhibitions & art projects. Having said that I see that there is no enough evidence for one?????

If one convinced that the article has to be deleted, than do not hesitate to do so, but before that please give me a straight answer to my question. What is the difference between the article about Alexander Voytovych and, for example, the Herb Roe’s article, why the mentioned article is considered more accurate? I must highlight once again that instead of explaining what has to be changed or corrected on the page, one awards us with thenoticeboards. Regarding self-promotion which was mentioned a few times I’d like to make it clear : the artists is a Ukrainian and naturally all sources are Ukrainian, and if the mentioned language is unknown to one it doesn’t meant that it allows one doubts the genuine sources. The Ukrainian and Russian versions of Wikipedia have accepted the article and honoured it, which says a lot.I had in my mind to present more Ukrainian artist, however having such an experience; I’d rather leave this business behind thanks to you. Thanks for co-operation. From my point of view this discussion is exceeded, feel free to delete the article! --Artvoyt (talk) 19:01, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Teapot George. You've certainly edited down my page and I'm sorry that you see at as self promotion. I consider that I'm simply giving out relevant information that people seem to me to want. If you would be kind enough to reconsider your edit and put the material back I will go through it and evidence every statement and delete that which I cannot. Is that fair? I'm not too good with code and wiki editing so I apologise for any formatting errors. I shall seek to improve.

 * You are mistaken I added a template for more references, it was User:Chzz who edited it down [quite correctly. Please also note you should NOT edit an article about yourself without full discussion on the talk page as you have a clear conflict of interest.  Teapot  george <sup style="color:blue;">Talk  14:18, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Teapot George. So what might be a good way forward for me? Marcus clarke —Preceding undated comment added 14:38, 30 January 2011 (UTC).
 * I would strongly advise you to leave it to others to decide what if anything should be added to the article.  Teapot  george <sup style="color:blue;">Talk  14:41, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I shall take your advice. Thank you. Could I politely add for your information that I am also a Puppet Maker (which isn't currently mentioned) who is quite well known for his work over the past 20 years with his partner in the Nottingham based Company Hands up Puppets. I am also now a Fellow of the RSA and a Bafta member.Marcus clarke
 * My ears were burning :-)
 * Marcus, we're very careful about biographies of living people.

"I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative "I heard it somewhere" pseudo information is to be tagged with a "needs a cite" tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced.  This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons" --Zero information is preferred to misleading or false information, Wales, Jimmy, 16 May 2006, WikiEN-l, Wikimedia
 * This is to protect the subjects of the articles. If we have unreferenced information on the article, anyone could change it, and we would have absolutely no idea which was 'correct'.
 * You are very welcome to suggest changes to the article; do so on the talk page, Talk:Marcus Clarke (puppeteer), describing exactly what you think should change, and giving references. Please put when you do, and that will alert other editors to check it. This is the recommended best-practice for article subjects. See WP:AUTO for more information. Thanks,  Chzz  ►  18:11, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I have requested an edit and made some hopefully helpful suggestions for additions on the talk page with possible verification sources. I appreciate its in everybody's interest for wiki to have as much accurate information as possible and appreciate the editors taking the time to ensure this.

 * Sorry but it looks like promotion to me. Take a look at David Bailey (photographer) which is not stuffed with subjects photos or lists of books.  Teapot  george <sup style="color:blue;">Talk  18:03, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

I am slowly going through the information and credits that were on my deleted page evidencing them with references which I am building up on my new Marcus Clarke Puppeteer discussion page. Being excluded from editing due to the stated 'Conflict of interest' I am at the mercy of you Editors to add them. Would you please do what you can.Marcus clarke (talk) 11:01, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy nominations
Hi there; first of all thank you for your work in keeping the encyclopedia tidy. It is critical, and I have almost no fault to find. But - could I ask you to wait a little longer before tagging articles for speedy deletion? Some newby editors post prematurely, think a bit, and then go back and edit again. If an article truly has no content it will still have no content in 15 minutes time, and then we can tag and remove it. Of course, I am not suggesting that we should delay on attack pages or negative BLP or obscenity, etc. But I like if possible not to discourage innocenr newbs. Happy wikying.--<b style="color:red;">Anthony Bradbury</b><sup style="color:black;">"talk" 21:12, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Which speedy nomination did you have in mind in particular?  Teapot  george <sup style="color:blue;">Talk  21:16, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry I can find no edits of mine that have added a speedy to an article with no content? Regards.  Teapot  george <sup style="color:blue;">Talk  21:23, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

I was in no sense trying to criticise; and I have to admit that I cannot now locate the article which attracted my attention. It was an almost content-free article which had been up for only two minutes. Not a big deal - please keep up the good work. --<b style="color:red;">Anthony Bradbury</b><sup style="color:black;">"talk" 12:05, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Dr. P.B Kader
Hello Teapotgeorge. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Dr. P.B Kader, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''There's enough there for A7 (significant contributions to this and that, publications), but probably not enough for GNG. Will take to AfD.''' Thank you. Ged UK  19:45, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
