Khodorkovsy and reverts

Please do not make mass reverts of limited and justified changes and mark them as "minor", especially without even explaining why you are doing it as you did the first time, as if you were simply repairing IP vandalism. It's rude and unconstructive. I have restored my changes, some of which were grammatical improvements, but restored some of the info you insist must be there, but which WP:OPENPARA probably would not. I have also opened a talk page section. N-HH talk/edits 08:36, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could you take a look at this article? I'd appreciate your input. Activist (talk) 19:56, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing! I'll take a look now! DaltonCastle (talk) 20:43, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I had also thanked Ken through the button for his helpful change.. Glad we could work it out. Activist (talk) 08:10, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good Faith Edit at Oath Keepers

Hiya,

just wanted to drop you a note regarding your reversion. A couple things you might not have known:

1 - the page is under heavy sockpuppet attack that resumes within days of its semiprotection expiring, repeatedly. See SPI regarding the latest sleeper account for more details.

2 - the wording you removed is (a) sourced, VERY specifically to cite the word radical,and (b) was hashed out on the talk page some time ago.

If you think it should be removed, you're welcome to create a new section on the talk page to re-hash it, but you should be aware that wording is sourced to multiple Verifiable and Reliable Sources. Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz (talk) 05:44, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ah ha! I was not aware of such sock puppetry. I will review the history of the article and any relevant sources about the group. DaltonCastle (talk) 19:07, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. I figured based on your editing history that you were patrolling recent changes in good faith, but just didn't quite look closely enough at the page history. I made a point to leave a note that you were NOT considered part of the SPI case on the SPI page as well, just to make sure that nothing spills over on you. Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz (talk) 03:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! No worries, I can even keep an eye out for any sock-puppetry too. DaltonCastle (talk) 17:41, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weingarten & standardized testing

Your reverts of my edits

You've reverted my addition of material to the Koch page, despite it being sourced, with the simple dismissal of "not an improvement." That's your opinion, and I feel it was an improvement, otherwise I wouldn't have made the edit. On the Alternative Right page, you deleted a sourced section with your opinion again, saying "It's just the opinion of some guy" - again, despite the face that it was sourced, and part of the "Criticism" section, where it certainly belongs. I'll be putting those edits back into place. You'll need a better reason to revert them again. Thanks. Rockypedia (talk) 17:10, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have provided reasons. If you don't understand them I'd be happy to lay them out in more detail. DaltonCastle (talk) 17:51, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your reasons amount to "That's my opinion and that's that". If you have concrete reasons, you should state them. Rockypedia (talk) 18:56, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is fundamentally not accurate. DaltonCastle (talk) 20:23, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, 2016

Gain consensus for your suggested changes first, then edit. WP:BRD, WP:EW, etc. etc. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:29, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, no. That's the entire point of WP:BOLD. DaltonCastle (talk) 07:32, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

When you are reverted - as you have been, twice by different editors, you need to discuss. You didn't - you are starting to edit war. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:33, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you undo my edits?

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Julius_and_Ethel_Rosenberg&oldid=731889842

Why did you undo my edits? They were not executed for treason. They were executed for Espionage. That is why I removed it from that category. Did you think it was vandalism?2604:6000:1506:408E:BD49:E978:461E:7A33 (talk) 08:47, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't apply in all circumstances. Looking further into it, though, fine, I will concede to that point. They were not technically executed for treason, by the strictest definition of "treason". DaltonCastle (talk) 23:24, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions alert

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions. Bishonen | talk 02:18, 4 August 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Why did you post this here for me and not for any of the other editors active on the page, who are adding POV content? DaltonCastle (talk) 02:21, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think most people are already aware of the discretionary sanctions, and most do discuss controversial changes on the talkpage before, or as, they make them. Specifically, I thought you ought to be alerted because you removed part of a section that was subject to lively discussion on talk, without taking part in that discussion (only when another user opened a section to discuss your change did you take part). And because your edit summary for the removal was kind of aggressive and bad-faith-assuming. But as the alert says, it does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the DS. Bishonen | talk 10:54, 4 August 2016 (UTC).[reply]

EW

You are edit warring on Political positions of Donald Trump. Please stop doing this or you may end up being blocked from editing. The first time you were reverted was the opportunity to make your case for removing well-referenced material from the article. You also made similar edits on other Donald Trump articles, for example ignoring a consensus from an RfC. - Mr X 18:06, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Different edits - not edit warring.

1st Revert 2nd Revert 3rd Revert. WP:EW policy states: "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material'—within a 24-hour period". I strongly suggest that you stop.- Mr X 18:15, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only 2 of those are reverts. DaltonCastle (talk) 18:18, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Corruption in Eritrea

The article Corruption in Eritrea has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Primarily a statement of opinion, with no references to conclusions about incidence of corruption.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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.

I neither know if it can be written in Wikipedia or if I will have problems with it. This is very complex to tell you here.

Many thanks for your reply! The matter is very complex and sensitive to being explained here (I'm not even sure if I would be able to publish it in Wikipedia) and it doesn't matter if you don't have much time now. Maybe you can give me tips to write it but is important to give you further details. Is there any way to contact you outside here, I mean, by mail or chat?

Arnold Demain biographical content

Please check the Arnold Demain page to judge if recent cuts to the material you contributed are justified and constructive. While I'm no authority on such matters, I did not find the reason given for these extensive cuts to be particularly compelling.Kappock (talk) 19:05, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kingdom of Tengiz

Please do not create, maintain or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia, as you did at Kingdom of Tengiz. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Continued disruption will be met with being blocked from editing, or other sanctions. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you. SpinningSpark 20:12, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,

My name is Maddy, and I work for Headland Consultancy. We are a PR firm that represents a number of clients, including Clara Pensions. Clara Pensions is a relatively new UK pensions provider which is part of a new breed of pension “superfunds”. These superfunds have been created to bridge the gap for defined benefit pension schemes who are looking to transfer their pension members to an insurer, but cannot yet afford to do so.

Clara is the first (and so far only) superfund to be approved by the Pensions Regulator. It expects to start transactions and welcome its first pension scheme members later in 2023.

I’m getting in touch with you today because I can see that you’ve written and contributed to a number of different pages about major UK financial services providers, including AJ Bell. Given your established presence as a Wikipedia editor in this sector, I was wondering if you would be interested in creating an article about Clara Pensions.

Given that it’s a fairly recent challenger in the British pensions market, it has yet to have a Wikipedia page. I hope you will consider making this contribution to Clara’s Wikipedia presence. Do let me know if you have any questions or require any further information on the above.

Thanks,

Ways to improve Ketakandriana Rafitoson

Hello, DaltonCastle,

Thank you for creating Ketakandriana Rafitoson.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

The main body of this article is almost exclusively devoted to the personal and professional biography of its subject and only makes brief references to her notable and relevant public activities. More information must be presented about her visible public relevance.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Garagepunk66}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Thank you for creating Ketakandriana Rafitoson.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

The majority of this article focuses almost exclusively on the personal and professional biography of its subject and does not sufficiency and in enough detail explain her notable and relevant public activities.

Article about Ketakandriana Rafitoson

Thank you for creating the article about Ketakandriana Rafitoson. However, the article needs much more development. Right now it reads almost like a resumé--it is almost completely devoted to the personal and professional biography of its subject and does not adequately and in enough detail address Rafitoson's notable and relevant public activities. Someone needs to add a new and detailed section devoted to the situation that made her a notable public figure. It is important do do this, because, if not, the article will be vulnerable to deletion. Garagepunk66 (talk) 02:23, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Dalia Hatuqa

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

The page Dalia Hatuqa has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from http://www.daliahatuqa.com/about. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review. — Diannaa (talk) 21:48, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Lyall Swim

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Lyall Swim, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 deleted 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.

Please don't copy material from elsewhere online

Hello. I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the copyright policy of this website to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. The Wikipedia copyright policy and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policy. There's a simplified version of our copyright rules at Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright. Further copyright issues will result in you being blocked from editing. — Diannaa (talk) 20:21, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Miranda Patrucic

The article Miranda Patrucic has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

There is no independent, significant coverage of this journalist in reliable sources. Furthermore, none of the below are fulfilled.
WP:NJOURNALIST:

The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors; or The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique; or The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series); or
The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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. बिनोद थारू (talk) 00:40, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
