Good morning. Thank you for your comments about the Popov article update. Apologies but as a new user, it has taken me a while to figure out how to respond to you. As I said in the summary of the changes, my only interest is in bringing the bio up to date, as it is currently factually incorrect. I shall endeavour to find suitable references, though the obvious ones like Bloomberg and Forbes are also, as you may note, out of date. The first half of my update should be uncontroversial as it recaps information already in the original version you have restated. I note that this version has almost no references. The facts are not disputed. I have simply sort to add some more factual detail as I think it is helpful. As for the new information in the second half, the key facts are that Popov has now disposed of all his business interests and holds no more directorships. Sources are difficult as many common ones such as Bloomberg, Forbes etc have not updated their own information on this final point. I shall endeavour to provide references that show this to be the case. With regard to resigning all directorships, there is clearly no single public reference to back up this statement. However, anyone going through the lists of companies will see that Sergei Popov no longer features on any of their boards. I'll do my best. Let me know if it works. Not sure if I have done this correctlySedjeplace (talk) 16:55, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
Good morning again. As you can see, I have re-edited the Sergei Popov page and have put in a lot of references, which I hope will improve it as you suggested. I am not sure if I have done the referencing correctly. If not, I would be grateful if might be able to tell how it needs to be properly formatted.Sedjeplace (talk) 12:14, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of cockraoch (entrepreneurship) as allegedly "promotional"
Please provide any justification why this article should be promotional.
It fully compliant with the Wikipedia rules as it is not "for advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment of any kind: commercial, political, scientific, religious, national, sports-related, or otherwise." On the contrary, the article reports "objectively" about things; it describes "the topic from a neutral point of view."
Please refrain from deleting an article without any justification whatsoever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RachelTan (talk • contribs) 08:50, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
- Granted. I have removed the tag to give you a chance to improve on it.It looks like it is a new term that is yet to to get enough coverage to have an article on its own. KagunduTalk To Me 09:13, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
Destructive Comments: Withdrawing from Wikipedia
@Kagundu:
I don't know what's going on here. With your comment that my contribution was promotional and suggestion for speedy deletion you apparently triggered my public execution as a Wikipedia contributor. And still don't know what I am being accused of promoting: a book published by a university professor that is for free to download? Or a Web page that offers no services or products for sale? Admittedly I am new to Wikipedia and truly believed that I could contribute to this project. But this experience leaves me truly disillusioned. It appears to me as if some people want to turn (or keep?) Wikipedia into some sort tightly-knit old boys network would decide over everything, maybe not so different to the editorial board of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
It seems to me that some people want to shut me down for whatever reason: copyright infringement - unfounded, promotion - unfounded, advertising - unfounded and so on. Well, unfortunately these people have succeeded: I will no longer contribute anything to Wikipedia after this entirely destructive experience.
I believe that this is exactly NOT what Jimmy Wales had in mind when he created Wikipedia. But be it as it may, I'll keep on recommending the sources I deem of high value to my family, friends and fellow students. At least they don't accuse me of promotion or of providing a "neologism that has not gained much traction" when they suddenly understand a term that is new to them.
Enjoy editing & fare well,
Rachel Tan

Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
- Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!
Technology update:
- The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: T175225
General project update:
- On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.
- Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.

Dear Kagundu You removed text on Darshan Singh (Sant Mat) page A reverted your unexplained removal. You haven't left any reason of your deleting. So I can consider it as vandalism I'm not involved in any war at all.
Revert my changes in La Luna Sangre
Hi there, I was wondering why you reverted my edits as there were no reasons posted. I have been editing a number of poorly written sentences, particularity the improper use of pronouns. These are simple edits but it reads better when the proper syntax are used, I notice a lot of contributions made love to use "xxx is the father of yyy" instead of the more proper use of "yyy's father...". In its current reverted state, the article looks like it was written by an amateur. The possessive form is used with nouns referring to people, groups of people, countries, and animals. It shows a relationship of belonging between one thing and another. To form the possessive, add apostrophe + s to the noun. If the noun is plural, or already ends in s, just add an apostrophe after the s.. is there any reason why you reverted my edits? I did not write the original writer and did not change the content. I simply wanted correct grammar. Thanks! [[[User:Pipamidalton|Pipamidalton]] (talk) 09:08, 20 September 2017 (UTC)]
