Silvera entry

No worries, re: tagging it for deletion. I'll try it again and make it more about their ideas so it doesn't sound promotional (they are an important NGO in Calgary and deserve a brief entry, so I'll just do a better job of it -- keep it short and sweet but more on their ideas/publications with links to 3rd party citations vs. just services).

Flight 409

Hello OluwaCurtis, I received your message about the deletion of the Flight 409 page. I created the page due to the significance of the band in the early 2000's alternative rock music scene. I am new to this and would like to create a band account for Flight 409. Any tips on how to do so? Thanks ModerateIt (talk) 17:59, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Regarding my page Daffodils Public School, Motihari

Dear OluwaCurtis, I got your notification regarding my page Daffodils Public School, Motihari. As I am new to Wikipedia please help me out where I am doing wrong. If I am wrong at any section please remove that section or word instead of deleting my article This page is not promotional rather it is created to provide information about the place. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prafullsranjan (talkcontribs) 07:43, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Bijurdelimon----

Questions regarding promotional concepts: I'm slightly concerned on the promotional sweep because as a person understanding oil lubrication products I see 100's of labels and old machines with "Vogel" and I'm told by my instructors that "Vogel" was the largest and most respected company 20 years ago. I can find a ton of their products on E-bay and some companies still reference them on their sale page. But, I can't find a tidbit of history about this company since is was acquired by SKF. It is really sad to see these dust collecting prices of equipment and not be able to turn to wikipedia for the history and inventiveness of the company. It is very troubling to me because I want to start a "Vogel" page but they are lost to history so I started a BijurDelimon page since they aren't the largest but the oldest still in business. I'm concerned about what is promotional to you isn't promotional to me because I'm interested in oil lubricators. Not being about to find anything about Vogel makes me sad because SKF is eating up companies with rich history "lincoln" was their latest and trying to erase them. BijurDelimon might be next.

George Kirwan Carr Lloyd (1810-1877)

I'm a bit mystified about your message.

First of all, George Kirwan Carr Lloyd died on 15 June 1877, which was 138 years ago by my calculation. I don't think that by any usual definition of the term he can count as a living person, though I am open to correction.

Secondly, the article I put up has three online sources. If you think further referencing would improve the validation of the facts, I'll be happy to do so.

Please let me know.--Clifford Mill (talk) 18:09, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Removing promotional elements from the wiki page on Reliance insuranec limited

Dear OluwaCurtis,

I wanna carry on working on the subject matter page. I am scrutinizing to remove elements even slightly promotional. I would request you to please check the page again to confirm that the promotional elements have been removed.

Luigi DiPasquale

Dear OluwaCurtis,

I don't mind at all if you delete it. Just change the dab page for it. I really made the article because the dab page existed with only one working link and the article that I made was just red. Devinthepeng (talk) 16:04, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Categories

Please see Category:Olamide albums. Note that there are four albums in this category and it is a subcategory of Category:Hip hop albums by Nigerian artists, which means every album in the Olamide albums category is already categorized as a hip hop album. If this was the way to do things, there would be thousands of articles in Category:Hip hop albums. Thank you. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 16:21, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Warning of editors

Firstly, this edit here does not constitute vandalism. Unnecessary tagging of editor's edits as vandalism is considered disruptive. I'm also aware of your warning here. A level 1 warning is more appropriate. Editors should not be issued a level 3 or 4 warning if they've not been previously warned. Issuing a level 3 or 4 warning as you did there is inappropriate and may be considered bitey to new editors. Warm regards! Wikigyt@lk to M£ 03:02, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Gabriel Olutola

There are some issues with Gabriel Olutola, which I just deleted.

I had previously identified some concerns with this article. You seem to understand that there were issues and agreed to address them. We let some time elapse so you could address them, but you did not make any substantive progress toward resolving the problems.

In addition, you are not communicating in a way that is desirable for editors. You are perfectly free to remove material from your talk page (although archiving is generally considered preferable). However, if you simply remove material and do not respond, it is difficult to understand your thinking. I don't know for example, whether you felt that you cured the copyright problems, or perhaps thought that the source of the text was an acceptable source. If you explain your actions it will be easier to help you.

I recently deleted the article because it had copyright problems and I saw no action by you to address them. I now see that you have restored the article in substantially the same form as the article that was deleted. Again, if you do not communicate I do not know what you are thinking. I don't know whether you thought it was deleted in error, whether you thought you cured the problem, or something else.

I notice that the version you restored is not exactly worded the same way as the source. However, we have seen editors who think that changing a word here or there cures a copyright problem. It does not. Please read the following link for more information: Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing

I also ran a duplication detector which does not pick up close paraphrasing, it only picks up exact matches. Even with this cruder measure the article is problematic. I'll provide the link below so you can see the results. However, I emphasize that changing a word or two here or there to eliminate the exact matches is not the cure.

Duplication Detector

Unfortunately, we have identified other articles with issues. I haven't had a chance to look closely but we may be following up with other articles which need addressing.

I urge you to take this quite seriously. If you are editing with a misunderstanding of policy we can help you understand the rules. If you do understand the rules and ignore them, you may be blocked. Explaining your actions will be the best way to ensure that doesn't happen.--S Philbrick(Talk) 15:56, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
