Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 23:44, 18 January 2025

1% (South Park)

Hi. Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to 1% (South Park), as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Misplaced Pages cannot accept uncited material. Misplaced Pages requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here.

Also, keep in mind that Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, and not a news periodical, and so vague, dated terms like "recently" should be avoided in lieu of undated wording whenever possible.

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 21:25, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi again. Regarding your recent edit to 1%, the editors of South Park articles have decided that synopses of episodes prior to "The Big Fix" will retain the previous version of his name. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 15:05, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: User:বাঙালি জাতীয়তাবাদী/sandbox

Hello DACartman. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:বাঙালি জাতীয়তাবাদী/sandbox, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 03:15, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Socking

You were right--thanks. Drmies (talk) 22:13, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Clarification!

Dear @DACartman, ETV Bharat is a well-known Indian news organization, part of the ETV Network owned by the Ramoji Group, which also owns Eenadu. It has a history of credible journalism and is generally considered a reliable source for Misplaced Pages. Kindly research the topic before providing any suggestions. 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 02:58, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

I apologize for my actions regarding the source and the chemistry article. I did not do enough research and mistakenly thought they were incorrect. I am realizing I can improve in this area and am asking for your mentorship on what is reliable and is not. If you accept, that's good. If you decline, that's good too. Please let me know by January 1st, because I am currently on vacation, which causes my edit count to decrease . DACartman (talk) 21:09, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

ASA revert

DACartman, per NOCON the suspected content at ASA should have been discussed rather than just restored. This was a recent addition and disputed. The next step should be a talk page discussion. Please start one to make a case for the restoration in question. Springee (talk) 00:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

That sounds like a conflict of interest to me. The information was sourced properly and kept it in WP:NPOV. DACartman (talk) 19:52, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Are you accusing me of a COI? If so please take it to COIN. Also please review ONUS. Being WP:V is a minimum for inclusion. It doesn't guarantee inclusion, especially if the result violated NPOV. Springee (talk) 12:31, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sapri Sale

Hello DACartman,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sapri Sale for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Sapri Sale to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hi!

Is there a need for a Sock Puppet Investigation (SPI) for Anon03154? Knitsey (talk) 01:38, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes. Corf6184 is likely, I was just about to email @Drmies about this. DACartman (talk) 01:38, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Did you want to start one? Seems like there is some quacking going on. Knitsey (talk) 01:39, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

How exactly do I start one is the question DACartman (talk) 01:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Do you use Twinkle? Knitsey (talk) 01:41, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes DACartman (talk) 01:41, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Go to the TW (Twinkle) icon at the top right of the user you suspect of being the sock master, select ARV. Select report type and change it to sock puppeteer. Fill in as much info with diffs as you can. Ping me if you have problems. I would tick the checkuser box to look for any hidden accounts. Knitsey (talk) 01:45, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not sure if that first bit was clear, go to the user you think is the puppet master, then open TW. You will also need details of the users you suspect are socks of the master. Take your time with it, no rush. If it goes wrong someone might correct it or advise you. Knitsey (talk) 01:49, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

I guess we were both right. Thanks for helping me out DACartman (talk) 19:29, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Draftify redirect

Hello DACartman. Redirects like Joseph A. Tunzi should be marked for speedy deletion because they direct away from mainspace to draftspace. Also, you're technically not required to disclose a general COI, but paid COIs are. Thanks. Tarlby 20:15, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

January 2025

Please stop editing blocked user Talk pages. In two cases, the user blanked their userpage, and you reverted them, even though they are entitled to blank their pages. In one case, you replied to a stupid comment by the blocked user, which I reverted; there's no point in doing that. These are very adminny things you're doing, and you are not an admin, nor do you have enough experience to do them.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:06, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I just got your message. I apologize for any inconvenience this brought and I will take your advice. DACartman (talk) 17:55, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Revert?

Hi there,

Just trying to get a sense of why you reverted my edit on Antioch University Midwest. I have no COI with that university, have never even seen or visited it. Sorry if my comments were confusing to you. Please considering undoing your revision. Thanks! Jjazz76 (talk) 00:23, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

My apologies, I did not take the time to read it carefully. Thanks for pointing this out and I will put it back. DACartman (talk) 00:24, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

All good! Completely understand. I was trying to read closely to see if this place was open or closed, so I thought at first you might have just thought I was wrong, which certainly can happen with these institutional closures. I follow institutional closures in the higher ed space as a hobby, and sometimes when places close, even with RS it is hard to figure out exactly what is going on!

And thanks for your hard work with COI editing in the higher ed space. It is definitely a HUGE need and a HUGE issue. If I can be of any future help please let me know. I've learned a lot in 4 years on Misplaced Pages and it has definitely made be a better researcher but still a lot to learn! Jjazz76 (talk) 00:28, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Please feel free to ignore this. If you had taken a look at the ip (the one that posted a fake block notice) you would have seen their first post was to another blocked user that is a sock that has been around for at leat 7 years. Even if you didn't look at that edit, ip posting block notices are fake notices.

Please just take a little care in future before restoring vandalism and then templating an editor with contributions going back 2 years. We all make mistakes occasionally. Just take a little time in future, especially with other users talk pages. Cheers, Knitsey (talk) 22:10, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Stop blanking other users' userpages and sandboxes. If you think they qualify for speedy deletion, e.g., WP:U5, you may tag them, but blanking them is unacceptable.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:26, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

I will tag them in consideration of your advice. I am sometimes too aggressive with my understanding and need to cool off. DACartman (talk) 19:28, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Reversion

Hi,

Just trying to get a sense of why you reverted my edit on Charles Lee's page. The modifications are all verifiable facts regarding the person. Is there something specific you saw that warranted reverting all the edits? Wingfully (talk) 20:00, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, some of these edits violated wikipedias ethnic guidelines. DACartman (talk) 20:22, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Can you clarify what you mean by that? The only modification related to ethnicity could be Charles' nationality - we added that his nationality includes South Korean, which makes sense since he was born in South Korea. Is that what you are referring to or something else? If that is the only issue, I'd like to put the other changes back (such as his thesis title and year, awards, field, etc). Wingfully (talk) 21:22, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Well, the ethnicity is fair, but I do apologize for my unfair conflict of interest suspicion. DACartman (talk) 22:48, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. In that case, I will bring back the changes now. Wingfully (talk) 20:17, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Talk:Elisabeth Prueitt

Hi, DACartman. Thanks for all the work you do on COI-related things, but I wanted to have a quick word with you about the situation on this talkpage. Yes, the editor involved has a conflict of interest, and I've advised her to use the COI edit request template and discuss things on the talk rather than edit the article directly. However, this isn't the standard "evil spammer" or "self-promotional-Youtuber" style COI situation you generally see - it's an individual human worried about the safety and privacy of a child she is related to. While the information about the child's medical condition will likely have to go into the article (the sources are just too strong), this is an area where it's much better to go in with a gentle approach, and prioritize policies like WP:BLP over an aggressive take on the COI guidelines. The safety of children is really important, especially non-notable children and vulnerable individuals who just happen to be mentioned in the biographies of their relatives.

Additionally, while it's a really great idea to encourage editors with a COI to use the COI edit request template, it's not actually mandatory. There's no indication that this isn't the BLP subject's sister, and therefore she most likely isn't a paid editor and we can't actually force her to use the COI edit process. It's a good idea, yes, but not mandatory (however much I wish it was). Just remember- we're all here to build an encyclopedia. COI editing gets in the way of that because it's so prone to being non-neutral, but editors with a COI still have the potential to improve articles, or at least give other editors access to information that will improve articles. Keep on doing good work, but remember to go slowly and carefully, and always put the BLP policy first. And thank you for reading this far! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 09:44, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Not vandalism

Regarding this edit.

Thank you for trying to keep Misplaced Pages free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism are not considered vandalism under Misplaced Pages policy. Misplaced Pages has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please see what is not vandalism for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. Canterbury Tail talk 23:37, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I did not notice that wasn't vandalism and I apologize for the inconvenience. DACartman (talk) 23:38, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Reverted edit

Hi, Why are you reverting my edit here Kick-Ass? I added that filming began in September 2008. St4rr3y3y3s (talk) 23:44, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
