I wrote it neutrally (FYI, I have used the app a couple times but I'm in no way affiliated with the company), however, it seems to have evolved over time to be written more like an advertisement. Given the amount of press and funding the company has received, I believe I can revise it so that reads neutrally, and I can also help establish its notability.

| ::{{ping|J Milburn}} Description of actions one has evidence of is entirely different from projection about someone's {{em|motivations}} which by their nature cannot be proven; the latter serves no purpose but character assassination. The thing is, Jimfbleak cannot possibly provide diffs proving "SMcCandlish has never been here to improve content", nor that I'm here "just to push his own version of MoS", which are easily {{em|dis}}proven. Nor will he be able to back up the claim I've ever "championed" a sockpuppet, which is absurd. Nor the "He won't give up ... relentless onslaught from him and his cronies", which is just substance-free aspersions against me and anyone else who doesn't agree with him, compounded by an insinuation of {{em|conspiracy}}. By contrast, I have diffs that demonstrate everything I mentioned, about a number of FAC regulars denigrating others, of two of the departing FAC people spending months in tagteam attack campaigns against "enemies", and of all the old WP:BIRDS history – piles and piles of diffs, years' worth, and the gist of it already appears in the record at the ] RfC. I never used it to address individual behaviors at dramaboards, because I'm averse to such processes and because it has seemed more productive to attempt to smooth things over with those people than to take them to task for these antics. Nor do I offer any opinion of the mental motivations for why anyone is engaging in them (I may have my hypotheses, but this is not the place to air them).<p>Jim can't even prove the claim that I "drove away some of the best and most active contributors to the Bird project", a bardic myth he likes to sing around the campfire but which has no basis in facts. | |||

| In reality, a few editors said they were quitting over ] their ] to get what they wanted. However, one had actually quit a year earlier and only "returned" to make a show of quitting again, and another had left even earlier, after many threats to quit over just about everything, going back to {{em|2005}} (I have it on good authority that the original ] was actually written about that editor in particular, before my time here.) In reality, two editors actually quit over that issue, for real, and this was a very undesirable result. I've tried hard to head-off a repeat of this over similar matters like capitalization of domestic animal breed names. But if you look at what they were doing leading up to their decision, it was very similar to the attack-everyone-who-argues-with-me behavior two of the departing FAC editors have been pursuing for months, and like at least one of them, they didn't really quit, but kept coming back just to keep attacking people. When editors get like this it {{em|is}} time for them to take a wikibreak. People own their own emotions, and inability to remember that this is a collaborative, volunteer project for a general-audience readership, not a "SpecialistPedia" for experts or a "BlogPedia" for people who want to highlight and totally control their own "authored" pieces, is a clear ] problem, even if its often just a temporary one. They can spin it as retiring in disgust if they want to, but the fact of the matter is that they'll be forced off the system by administrative action if they don't stop attacking people just because their whims are thwarted and their patience short. | |||
| On the ] RfC: It was one of ] own number, Andrewa, who opened that RfC . {{em|My}} proposal, above that, was a much simpler do-or-do-not question about PoV-forking of guidelines. But Jimfbleak, et al., will probably never stop blaming {{em|me}} for them being hoisted by {{em|their own}} RfC petard (and rejecting all compromises that were offered, in every recurrent edition of that debate, dating back to 2008 or so). That RfC started because after a bird article ] (which involved {{em|no}} MoS/AT regulars at all) didn't go the way WP:BIRDS wanted and then a ] followup wasn't going their way either, they totally lost their cool about it, looked for a scapegoat, and launched an RfC full of hubris. I will continue to correct false accusations against me about this every time I encounter them, until the "SMcCandlish made some editors quit" myth dies. Some editors taking a "my way or the highway" battleground/soapbox stance, then choosing the highway when consensus (not, though some SuperMegaEditor™ magical power, SMcCandlish) didn't give them their way, is why some editors left. Editors leave all the time when they get overly emotionally invested in something and ] and the ] effect do not afford those individuals the ultimate control they want. This is sad, but it's a natural fact of wiki-life, and the best we can do is minimize it. | |||
| Also, I {{em|am}} a active member of the WP:BIRDS project, and have been for years. The false dichotomy of "those MoS and AT people versus those bird people" (= "those MOS and infobox people versus those FAC people"), like the belief that WP:BIRDS was unanimous about anything (= belief that WP:FAC is a hive mind, too), are pure fantasy. | |||
| {{collapse bottom}} | |||
| ::Moving on, Jim's "an MoS instigated by a sockpuppet" part doesn't even parse, so I have no idea what he's on about there. Neither MoS nor any of its subpages were created by sockpuppets that I know of, and if they were, I'm skeptical anyone would care as long as what they said made sense and was accepted by site-wide consensus. It's their content that matters, not who first came up with a draft version of them under what username. This relates strongly to the cult-of-personality problems surrounding FAC and FAs in general, a diffuse but detectable pattern of argument that who is doing the writing matters more than the content, than the combined editorial community, and than the audience.<p>'''Regardless of these details''', the point of Ds/alerts is to encourage de-escalation and more mindful comment posting; they are not salvos in a battle, but reminders that a battle does not need to happen. (I do not consider myself in a battle with Jimfbleak, and was frankly surprised to be verbally attacked by him in this way, over old news from years go that didn't even play out anything like the way he suggests.) I don't like the way the Ds/alert is worded, but ArbCom does not let us edit its content at all .</p><p>If Jim believed he could prove some case against me, he would have already done so years ago, judging by the heat of his posts about me. What he's doing is just '']'' and ] in service of personalized denigration because, as he says "yes, I'm still bitter". It has to stop. It's been going on sporadically for over two years, now that I bother to go diff-digging again: , a {{em|remarkably}} similar 2014 message casting the same mental aspersions and nefarious motives, and again making claims that are false on their face (e.g. "his changes to bird articles ... have lost several editors as a result" – {{em|I}} didn't make the changes to bird articles, I just argued more convincingly in WP:BIRDS's own RfC, which didn't close the way some WP:BIRDS members wanted, and a few people left because the RfC didn't go their way, being overly invested in the result). The fact that Jim's tune has not changed in years inspires me to cite ]. The hilariously ironic thing is that particular discussion from 2014 was about me supposedly "disrupting" animal breed articles (which Jim doesn't edit that I know of – he just seemed to have showed up to stick it to me) with moves toward consistent names; later, the RMs went exactly the way I suggested, their naming is now stable and consistent, and (among other actions by me) this directly thwarted a then-brewing "let's go decapitalize all the animal breeds" putsch that would have caused even more drama than the BIRDCON fiasco. Of course, I never get any credit for that, just as neither the closer of the WP:BIRDCON RfC, nor the other closer of the RM that led to it, ever receive any ire from Jim and friends. Nope, everything bad is SMcCandlish's fault, and everything he does is bad. <rolling my eyes></p><p>Jim's entirely within his rights to constructively criticize other editors, if the criticisms are something he can back up. If they're not, it's just a ] / ] / ] problem, and he'd do well to take a close read of ], where ArbCom is seriously considering desysopping someone for civility problems. BTW, I'm arguing {{em|against}} that result , despite being the recipient of some of that editor's incivility. Not everyone on WP has some binary "do things my way, or else either I have to quit or you have to be forced off the project" attitude. But note that Jim said "expect other FAC contributors to walk rather than face" continued disagreement, and repeated this sentiment here on his talk page. Honestly, I think my road is higher, and my horse lower, than Jim's on this matter. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — ] ] ] ≽<sup>ʌ</sup>ⱷ҅<sub>ᴥ</sub>ⱷ<sup>ʌ</sup>≼ </span> 05:50, 9 October 2016 (UTC)</p> | |||
| :::{{ping|SMcCandlish}} I really have no interest in debating this with you, so this is going to be my final comment in this thread (you can, of course, reply if you want to). What I will say is that that wall of text is hardly convincing when it comes to the matter of the acceptability of your comments. From the outside looking in, the distinction you are drawing between your putatively innocuous and putatively evidence-based aspersions and Jim's putatively problematic claims is not nearly as clear-cut as you seem to think it is. Further, your latest comment contains a range of comments and commentaries about other editors which are, themselves, deeply untasteful, and not at all conducive to a productive editing environment (] some more-or-less arbitrary set of criteria about what is or is not acceptable to say about fellow editors). I hope you will rethink your approach, here; if you're serious about "de-escalation and more mindful comment posting", then I have to trust that you will. ] (]) 13:00, 9 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
| ::::{{ping|J Milburn}} That {{em|was}} longer than intended. The things you're taking issue with are pointed but fact-defensible criticisms of behavior patterns I find troubling for WP's long-term stability, and I'm not alone in that (see various similar observations by others including Thryduulf at ] about the denigration of non-FA-focused editors by certain FAC regulars, etc.). Vague "I can read minds" aspersion-casting about people's motivations is {{em|not}} defensible with any form of real evidence and is way beyond pointed. This distinction is not "arbitrary" but central to the difference between attempting to resolve disputes about editorial behavior and just casting aspersions as a form of personal attack.<p>But I didn't come here to pick a fight with Jim; rather to head one off, and just got distracted. I have no ill will toward him. Nor do I have any toward other WP:BIRDS editors, or WP:FAC editors. What I do have an issue with is "site-wide rules just don't apply to me and my friends" behavior patterns by some few people (I wasn't count Jim among them) some of the time in those and various other circles. As a side matter, I don't like being wrongly accused of making other editors quit (Jim is not the only one to have pointed that finger). I'm not singling Jim out, but I'm asking him to stop treating me as a scapegoat for 2014 RfCs and RMs started and closed by other people, or as a whipping boy for every MoS/AT-related dispute. I've barely been active on WP at all for about two weeks now, specifically to avoid most further conflict over these matters with other people (so much for "he will never stop", etc. – I'm not the one with a let-it-go problem in these disputes); it was Jim's post about me (pinging me on it) that drew me back into the argument at WT:FAC in the first place. I was back on WP for a bit to work on improving a cat breed article, and only got about 5% of that done due to renewal of personal scapegoating of me at WT:FAC. (Which is particularly absurd; I've been critical of the excesses of both camps in the "infobox wars", and infoboxes are not even an MoS matter at all – MoS is entirely neutral on them. But go ahead and blame SMcCandlish and other MoS regulars, since that's what they're here for, right? Last I heard, they were also responsible for inflation, pancreatic cancer, and global warming.) <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — ] ] ] ≽<sup>ʌ</sup>ⱷ҅<sub>ᴥ</sub>ⱷ<sup>ʌ</sup>≼ </span> 16:35, 9 October 2016 (UTC)</p> | |||

- Hi Jimfbleak,
- Thanks and well received the latest feedback. I will adjust the content accordingly.
- Don't get me wrong. I don't want to create promotional content for the organisation, I just want to write some existing facts about the firm so that audience can have more visibility about the company when they search it. The company is a Chinese firm and has listed on NYSE since 2023. Currently most of third-parties (like news) are from local and not in english language, I wonder if that's acceptable if I use them in citation? And is there a minumum number of reference needed?
- Besides reference issue, regarding the latest edits, are any other parts that I need to adjust my wording?
- Thanks and looking forward to your feedback.

Christmas spirit
I see they tried your generosity a smidgen too far 😇😈. Folk think that making the declaration gives them great latitude. As a pedantic old scrote I thought of Bah! and Humbug!. Please never stop being generous, especially with rope. Mwahahahaha! 🇺🇦 Fiddle Faddle 🇺🇦 17:59, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Fiddle, I was recently criticised for being too gung-ho, so I'm playing nicely over the festive season, merry Christmas Jimfbleak - talk to me? 20:41, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- I doubt one will please everyone. Whatever you do, do it justifiably, as you do normally. Festive leniency of a good concept. A velvet fist in an iron glove? 🇺🇦 Fiddle Faddle 🇺🇦 21:19, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Request to Undelete the Page
Hi Jimfleak,
I’m new to Misplaced Pages and have written about Airpaz on my page. Could you please review and unban the page "Airpaz"? I would like to redirect the page there.
As a beginner on Misplaced Pages, I would appreciate your guidance. Jodysetiawan23 (talk) 10:53, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Jodysetiawan23 You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. When the existing draft is accepted, the reviewer can ask me to unprotect the article name. No point at present since it's nowhere near acceptable. See conflict of interest and independent verifiable sources and note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls, also see the notability guidelines and note that you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, management structure, turnover or profits. Also read no promotion and copyright and note that there shouldn't be any url external links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.

I am writing an article titled 'Kibirige Desire Edward" and just noticed that it was previously used but deleted on its submission. I hope you do not affect mine, it is an author's biography. (~~~~) Habombo (talk) 06:53, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
