Re: November 2018 Message

I did not add any inappropriate, irrelevant or spammy links as you mentioned. Everything I post will be what was relevant when I was looking at the page and couldn't find said information. Please cite examples next time. Thanks. --Zenichan (talk) 21:46, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

You added the same exact link (pricelisto) repeatedly - which has no encyclopedic value. Praxidicae (talk) 22:03, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Legal Project Management

I'd like to contribute to the Legal Project Management page. I am advised that I should first discuss this with the page's editors, and that there are various relevant policies which I'm happy to inform myself about. I look forward to receiving your guidance as to next steps.CraigMMorris (talk) 05:05, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @CraigMMorris: The page is located at Legal project management, and the place to discuss your proposed edits is at Talk:Legal project management. If you are being paid to contribute to this topic in any way (or it is otherwise related to your employment or business) you will need to disclose your conflict of interest on your user page per the instructions at WP:PAID. Otherwise, you do not need to seek permission from anyone in order to edit the article. Cheers, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Bradv 05:25, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi there - I'd like to contribute some edits to the Legal Project Management page that build upon a previous, more comprehensive version. I work in the industry (previously at a UK magic circle firm, and now at a leading Canadian firm). All the best, Peter — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.197.100.74 (talk) 10:14, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Speedy marking...

Don't bother. It actually makes the task a tiny bit harder. --jpgordon 16:44, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Oh good! Someone automated it. --jpgordon 16:45, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Jpgordon there's still about 30 more. :/ Some were blanked by other users, however. Praxidicae (talk) 16:46, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Malicious Removal of Content

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Misplaced Pages without adequate explanation, as you did at Thomas More College of Liberal Arts, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Virgilisalive (talk) 17:14, 29 November 2018 (UTC) (please stop removing content)

Virgilisalive It wasn't malicious and it was a policy violation. Please thoroughly review WP:PROMO and more importantly WP:COPYVIO. Praxidicae (talk) 17:15, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Praxidicae The edits made are not in violation of either of those rules. (talk)

Virgilisalive That is incorrect and these are policies - and in fact you copied directly from a copyrighted source. If you restore it, you will be in violation of WP:3RR, so please discuss it on the talk page. Praxidicae (talk) 17:40, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Help with COI editor/serial sockpuppeteer User:Jan Blanicky, etc.

per your nomination of Martina Sanollová and this discussion: User_talk:Explicit#Martina_Sanollová, I was wondering how exactly you deduced that Blanicky was a paid contributor? I mean, It's fairly obvious, but for the sake of my investigating this, I was wondering. I've noticed that alot of these edits had gone unnoticed ( for instance, here), and I 'm trying to undo all of the contributions. - R9tgokunks ⭕ 22:03, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Userpage deletions

This is a tiny point, and I hope that you will not take it amiss. you have recently tagged a number of userpages for speedy deletion; I hasten to say that all your nominations were correct, except that they were incorrectly labeled. "Spam" is not a valid reason for userpage deletion. If you look at WP:CSD you will see the categories which apply to userpages. ----Anthony Bradbury 23:11, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Spam applies in all spaces, particularly as they are spambots. Praxidicae (talk) 23:11, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Not wholly true. But to clarify, please indicate the coding (G1 - G13, A1 - A11, etc. ) which you believe includes spam. Please bear in mind that adding spam does not necessary lead to deletion, although it can. More usually spam relates to article-space additions, and tends to lead to AfD rather than speedy. ----Anthony Bradbury 17:38, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

I don't need the lecture on how to apply speedy deletion tags, spam applies everywhere, including template space as well. These are full blown spambots and nitpicking what word I use is a waste of both of our time. See a spambot? Delete it. Problem solved. I use a preloaded script to do this so as not to automatically notify bots of deletion since, well, they're bots. Praxidicae (talk) 17:42, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

I just checked a few pages in userspace that Praxidicae tagged for deletion. They were tagged with {{db-spam}}, which tags pages for criterion G11, which also gets mentioned in the edit summary thanks to Twinkle. So I don't quite see why there are questions about which criterion Praxidicae thought applied to those pages (and yes, G11 does also apply to userspace). And regarding spambots, I agree that the content of this and this, for example, was put on Misplaced Pages in a semi-automated way for the sole purpose of adding spam links. G11 clearly applies to such user pages. AFD, on the other hand, wouldn't. Huon (talk) 18:24, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Single item lists

Hi I saw that you moved a certain number of lists back to mainspace but one of them had only one item List of museums in Molise. I tried to find a guideline that authorises single entry list articles but couldn't find anything that either explicitly authorises or forbids it. That said all the MOS and guidelines talk about entries in the plural. Do you know of any because if I had come across an single entry list article my gut reaction would have been to either DRAFTIFY during NPR. I understand why you moved them all back as a sort of clean-up but in this case should it not have stayed in draft space? Cheers --Dom from Paris (talk) 11:51, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Request on 15:02:37, 5 December 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by MikeAylwin

  • Draft:Bullit Motorcycles (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi,

Thanks for your response RE article on Bullit Motorcycles. I was wondering if you could please advise further on how this could become a Misplaced Pages entry - they are a global motorcycling manufacturer, of which there are many pages already in existence on here, so I believe they do qualify for a page themselves? Any advice greatly appreciated.

MikeAylwin (talk) 15:02, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

MikeAylwin Have you addressed the concerns regarding WP:COI? It appears to me from a quick search that there is no independent coverage of this company. Praxidicae (talk) 15:04, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Praxidicae I have, I've cited a few independent sources in the article itself including several news outlets? I can add more if needed.

MikeAylwin That's still not addressing my question, have you reviewed the disclosure policy for editing with a conflict of interest or as a paid editor? Praxidicae (talk) 15:16, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Praxidicae As far as I can tell there is no conflict of interest and I'm not a paid editor.

AFD

Thanks for restoring the AFD tag. I've kicked it to the SPI board - Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Acyd101. Cabayi (talk) 19:25, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

MalwareMustDie

@Praxidicae: I changed the layout, cause it looks more "tidy" imo. If you disagree or if I made some mistakes, I'd like to hear from you. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 06:41, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Kyoung H. Park Article

Hi Praxidicae! I was wondering what made my article promotional in your opinion? I believe that this article is written in a neutral point of view, and that the theater and his works are integral to Park's Biography, as he is a playwright. Do you have any suggestions as to how to make it less promotional? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Booklad123 (talk • contribs) 23:59, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Huh.

Should I be flattered? :-) Thanks for the catch! Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 02:48, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
