Ian Carter (businessman)

Hello Rydex64, I hope you are good. You recently Draftified this article with the reason stating that it is not ready for the mainspace. I would like to seek guidance from you about the issues in the article and how we can improve it. I am looking forward to discussing it more. Thank you for your time and consideration. Dosedsneer (talk) 13:47, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

When you move an article from article space to draft space, please provide an explanation that is more specific than saying that it is not ready for mainspace. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:54, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey Dosedsneer, Apologizes for the delay in response. I was away travelling so I couldn't look into my Talk page much. I draftified the page since I couldn't find any Independent sources about the subject in the article. It would be great if you can go ahead and add them re-submit once it's ready. Please refer WP:IS. Thanks.

Mass Appeal India moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Mass Appeal India. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and does not pass WP:SIRS. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 05:41, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Varun Sunil

Hi Rydex64, would you mind explaining how you got the File:Varun Sunil.jpg image? Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 19:17, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Jeraxmoira, The image was actually photographed by myself during Masala Coffee's concert in JCT College. I do concert photography sometimes. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 04:41, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

That's great! Did you share the photographs with Varun Sunil as well? Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 10:06, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Jeraxmoira, Thanks! Also, I did share my photographs with their event team. May I know why please? 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 10:43, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

If you are directly in contact with Varun Sunil, you need to disclose this. I hope you are familiar with WP:COI. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 12:24, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Jeraxmoira, I'm totally aware about WP:COI. Currently, all the pages I contribute to on Wikipedia are purely out of personal interest in the subject. If a conflict of interest arises, I will disclose it. Thank you.

Varun's page was also done by myself. He's the guy behind Masala Coffee and I listen to them and him quite a lot! ;) 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 13:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Regarding non-admin closures

Hi Rydex64, I noticed that you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gul Wareen as delete and accordingly tagged the page for G6. However, while the consensus was clear in this case, it is generally not advised that non-admins close discussions for which they cannot enact the result, since an admin would still need to come by to ensure the process is completed properly. (In other words, non-admin closures requiring admin action do not save any admin time and so have the potential to cause more problems than they solve.) I would suggest you stick to cases where the result is an unequivocal keep/merge/redirect/draftify as you gain more experience with the process. Cheers, ^Complex/_Rational 12:13, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi ComplexRational, Thanks for the feedback! This is my first time experimenting with XFDCloser Tool. I really value your feedback and I'll ensure to stick with the suggestions you gave me. I have read WP:NAC. Let me know if there's anything else I need to be aware of, please! Cheers. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 12:32, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Certainly! And feel free to give me a ping if you have other questions. ^Complex/_Rational 13:54, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

To be very clear

Walter Breen was in fact convicted of those crimes, so if you want to remove it from the lede and have it stay out, I recommend a better rationale than just "not constructive". DS (talk) 22:36, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi @DragonflySixtyseven, Apologizes for the error! I mistakenly thought the content was non-constructive or possibly vandalism. It appeared to be categorizing the crime as an occupation, both in the content and the infobox. I don't have a personal view on the subject and I'm not attempting to safeguard the subject. I reverted it because the crime was already detailed under "Walter Breen Arrests and Convictions" and someone else previously reverted it too. Please feel free to revert it back and correct me! :) Thank you. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 05:48, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Whether it's appropriate right there is a different issue, but it was clearly well-intentioned, and thus not vandalism. Note my own edit summary here.

It's an interesting question: for people who were notable for reasons aside from their horrible offenses (e.g. Russell Williams, whose military career may well have meant he met general notability requirements), in what way should the offenses be incorporated into the lede? There may already be something about this in the manual of style; if not, perhaps I'll start a discussion. DS (talk) 16:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Vedan moved to draft space. Please relook

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Vedan_(rapper)

You have moved the above page to draft space from main space. Can you please relook now. More details added Navaneethmadhusoodanan (talk) 08:51, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

It looks like there's plenty of info missing about Vedan and discography needs to be updated. No sweat, just improve it in the draft and let me know when you're good. I can then move it over to the main page. Happy editing. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 09:15, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Do you not look at the page history when you draftify? I accepted the article as part of AFC review. Do you have an issue with it? — hako9 (talk) 10:09, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Next time do not draftify articles that AFC reviewers have passed. Better yet, do not draftify as you clearly do not know what you're doing here. If you disagree, you can nominate for deletion. Also, I hope you answer questions regarding your actions here. — hako9 (talk) 15:21, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

My bad, @Hako9! I didn't realize the article had already been reviewed. I noticed that the article needs quite a updates and there’s a lot of info missing for it to be ready for the main space, which is why I moved it to the draft section.

The article doesn't have to go through AfD because the subject has good sources. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 16:03, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Ok. Usually, reviewers just need to check whether the WP:AFCPURPOSE test is fulfilled, i.e whether or not the article will survive afd. I passed it in the above case, because obviously I thought it would survive. On a side note, you absolutely have the right to question an afc review. Doesn't matter if the person who passed an article has 1k edits or 100k edits. But instead of re-draftifying (which is basically edit warring with the reviewer) you should go through afd or bring the afc reviewer to an admin's attention (if that reviewer isn't doing their due diligence before passing). — hako9 (talk) 16:17, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know about that, @Hako9! I'll note that. Cheers!

Also, Just curious on your thoughts on Vedan (rapper). Do you think moving it to main space would be a better idea until the article is developed in draft or let it be on main space and let editors update the page eventually in the future? 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 16:54, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

I already moved it to mainspace. — hako9 (talk) 17:05, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Rydex64, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! – Joe (talk) 16:06, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Moving to drafts

Please ensure that you are linking to the drafts instead of the mainspace article while moving articles to draft [1]. User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft script does it for you. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 19:57, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I have wiki-linked them now. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 20:06, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

@Jeraxmoira, Thank you for letting me know about that. Will be doing that! I have installed the script. Cheers! 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 03:51, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

What's this about? Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 16:57, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

I have noticed that some pages doesn't index online even after reviewing. I tried adjusting the "Let this page be indexed by search engines" setting, to see if that would fix it. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 17:02, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

No, it does not work like that. But why did you think adding will make the article indexed? Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 17:27, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Apparently, I did the same for two pages, but it seemed to index afterwards. Please let me know what would be an alternate solution if this happens. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 17:32, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Please revert your edits on the other two articles. Articles get indexed whenever Google's crawler crawls a page, provided that they have already been reviewed. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 18:06, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Jloukiss/sandbox

Please do not move other editors' sandbox pages unless they have submitted an article from their sandbox. They are allowed to develop articles in their sandboxes. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 18:11, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

The editor had the mainspace page title (as Jloukiss/sandbox). It wasn't a sandbox page, but the editor moved the article directly to mainspace without changing the title. While draftifying, I have moved it to a new page Draft:Stuart Brotman, making it easier for the editor to work on it and re-submit. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 18:32, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Sugar cosmetics article cleanup

Hi @Rydex64,

I noticed you tagged the article SUGAR Cosmetics as {{Cleanup-PR}}. Could you please point out which parts look like promotion, or provide suggestions to rectify it? Anoop Bhatia (talk) 09:20, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

@Anoopspeaks: I looks like the article got deleted. I tagged it with {{Cleanup-PR}} because almost the entire article is based on the company's revenue and financial growth. I suggest you work on it and cleanup. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 10:24, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

@Rydex64 Don't get me wrong, I am asking out of ignorance. Which details should be added, and do you have any suggestions for other section headings required? Note: Previously, it was deleted because it was just a paragraph written by someone, and it looked like a promo. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 11:22, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hi! It seems like this is a mistake! I got a notification stating my account was blocked indefinitely for advertising and promotion and I'm making paid editing. If this is an error, please revert. I'm not involved in any undisclosed paid editing or COI as of now. I've been editing and creating pages out of my interest. I'm also currently an NPR where I review new pages. Kindly check. Thanks!

+ Just looked into investigations. None of the accounts are owned by me. I believe this was verified by UserCheck however, just a quick mention that I reside in a rented flat where I use their open WiFi for my network - has a large people living here. Requesting for re-verification if that account was ever created by someone else. Apologies for not requesting IP block exempt. I wasn't aware.

+ I noticed that you have mentioned some other accounts as well because I edited the page Rusha & Blizza. It was a part of the NPR process and I quick edited the page because I've heard about the Indian duos and just did some tagging and category adding. Kindly check. Thanks. Tagging Blablubbs

Leaving a note, I missed out on adding that I have an external relationship outside Wikipedia with the creator of the page Rusha & Blizza. As mentioned in my last message, It was still a part of the NPR process and I know the I completely abide by Wikipedia Policies and COI and strictly do not look forward to paid editing in any way or through any relationship whatsoever. My edit history will show that my editing towards any page or my NPR process is completely transparent and in accordance with WP:GNG and NPR policies.

I believe that Przdnt may have been connected to our residential WiFi as I was showing through the process of Wikipedia Tools and how NPR Tool works and it's features along with teaching how the process of editing works while he was interested in editing for music artists, same as me. I had agreed to review Rusha & Blizza's page since the subject was already notable and met WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. This was done along with the editor on my side while I showed how the tool worked. This process involves strictly no paid editing or COI with the subject I reviewed. I do not review paid articles unless disclosed on user's talk page.

Secondly, I will hereby agree that I have no connection or affiliation with another suspected account as it might be created by someone else and I would like to get IP Block exempt in this case.

Request reason:

+ PhilKnight, Thanks for checking the review. I'm unsure what you're referring to does not outweigh the technical evidence. As mentioned, I have an external relationship with Przdnt but the account was never created on my device nor have I created any other accounts for editing purposes myself. I'm aware of WP:SOCK and have not made any other Wikipedia accounts to my knowledge.

You have mentioned to me that checkuser date indicates the same device was used, which I, unfortunately, cannot process how yet. I'm unaware of how CheckUser tool or system works, but I think that either this might be an error or somewhat surpisingly created on same specification device as mine (Tagging Blablubbs who did the Checkuser). If not, this must have been created accidentally in worst case sceniero (which I'm sure not done by myself - could be anyone I know on my device without my knowledge. but again, I oppose this). I have also just checked the User contributions and account creation date of the suspected account here and it shows there aren't any edits either.

I apologize for this issue cased. The block was also initiated mainly for UPE which I believe, I already stated every detail back and fourth and concluded that I'm strongly not involved in any UPE or COI, except that I had an external relationship with Przdnt to review one of their page and guiding them on how tools works and NPR process works, but not involved in any COI or paid editing. Altough, I was involved in minor editing on the page, such as adding category, tagging and a minor tag fix check here.

I would really appreciate if the admins can lift the block so I can continue editing Wikipedia. I can ensure to request for IP block exempt and the issue with accounts won't not persist again. Thank you! 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 17:03, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

The evidence in this case is clear, both for abuse of multiple accounts and for undisclosed paid editing. Your request is denied. – bradv 18:08, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi Bradv, Apologizes for the ping! Can you state how am I involved in the abuse of multiple accounts when I don't own them or it's not at all my accounts? Moreover, I have never done any paid editing or had any COI for any articles I did. I appreciate it if any admins could give an insight on this claim, please , when I wasn't a sock or UPE. I would like further discussion.

If this request is final and cannot have a further review, please let me know, I will step down as an editor or reviewer and will refrain from making further unblock requests. Thanks!

More?

You have changed your story three times now. From not knowing Przdnt to accepting the fact that you have an external relationship with him. Do you also know the User:NorwesterTakesPics?

You have mentioned here that the image, File:ThirumaLi.jpg, was taken by your friend. The image is obviously from a separate photoshoot and not from any concert, which again proves you have an external relationship with ThirumaLi. Adding to that, you have also created the article for ThirumaLi. When I asked you earlier about COI on Varun Sunil, you said you never edited in areas where you had COI. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 17:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

I have never mentioned that I do not know Przdnt in any of my earlier block request. I have additionally added about my external relationship outside Wikipedia with him. I clearly stated "None of the accounts are owned by me.".

Secondly, File:ThirumaLi.jpg was indeed captured by my friend and I have already mentioned that in here. That does not prove any claim that I have relationship with ThirumaLi. I have ONLY advised my friend NorwesterTakesPics to upload the picture to Wikipedia page since he has the rights to the picture from the photoshoot he did and added it to the page. As mentioned last time, I do concert photography sometimes and I'm connected with other photographers as well, asking them to upload pictures to the pages I do if that's possible. I have mentioned same case about Varun Sunil here [2] (but, that was taken by me!). I'm NOT involved in COI so far. And If I did, I would take procedures on disclosing it.

I write mostly about Malayalam musicians, rappers, movies and couple of EDM artists out of purely my personal interest. Thanks! 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 18:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
