3DVHS draft

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:3DVHS the article in its current stage has already been rejected several times and i have already been reminded several times of Wiki policy and guidelines as its author. I don't understand the comment you left most recently; all subject matter written in the article is empirically, physically true. Text and style guidelines aside, I'm already seeking 3rd party intervention to improve notability and reliability measures. Please clarify the comment. Reminder- 1. Direct rudeness ... (c) ill-considered accusations of impropriety (d) belittling a fellow editor, including the use of judgemental edit summaries or talk-page posts (e.g. "that is the stupidest thing I have ever seen", "snipped crap") Adames1983 (talk) 14:05, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New IP hopper to keep an eye on

Hi, JamesB. Wanted to give you a heads-up regarding 109.148.132.143 & 109.148.132.94, almost certainly the same editor and not very keen on being corrected. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 20:17, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Skywatcher68: I agree, but since the editor has not edited now in over 24 hours, there's not much point in doing anything now. However, I have posted a note to User talk:109.148.132.94 , and watchlisted the article, and if the problem continues I will be willing to consider whether any action is needed. Of course, one of the difficulties in this kind of situation is that there is no way of being sure that the editor will ever see the message, as his or her IP address is likely to have changed again by next time he or she comes back, if that ever hapens.

Bankset

do you oppose the bankset article, please confirm here on my talk page if you oppose de facto ? or shall i proceed and start the article again.? please restaure the draft page and the 40+ references listed there to avoid a rewrite. thanks for you understanding i confirm am not related to this team only an engineer at the engineering institute and want to disscuss the topic with the scientific community --Sunlinestar (talk) 13:02, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sunlinestar: What do you mean by "oppose de facto"? You already know that I think the spam page that you created is unacceptable, since I deleted it, and you also know my reasons.

There is no question of restoring the page that I deleted, as it was an unambiguous copyright infringement.

No version of the page had as many as 40 references.

As for starting the article again, I agree with the answer already given to you by Deb on her talk page, after you posted the same message to her as to me. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:34, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

its probably an intelectual missunderstanding i dont understand what you want and your point is ambivalent and unclear seems linked to personal interest ?

we are relatively busy and have more important things to do

pls restaurant the draft page where more than 45 new references listed in major press articles and scientific research about the topic .

exemple : https://www.google.it/search?q=bankset+energy&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiVwJWDxc_eAhWi4YUKHQPSAV4Q_AUIDygC&biw=1366&bih=636

pls reply with a direct answear do you oppose the facto and will you delete the page if we start again with a proper format as per the 85 references and news line available on the topic.

if wikipedia does not want an article about Bankset make a clear statement that you de facto oppose and save us time . we will not come again.

end of the story i have no interest in arguing with a stranger that has no name but a pseudo....

THE POINT IS RESTAURING THE PAGE AND REMOVE THE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT THOUGHT WE ARE ALLOWED FROM THE SITE TO USE THIS TEXT SO ITS NOT A COPYRIGHT ISSUE.

"" --Sunlinestar (talk) 19:03, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

pls bring the article here cut and paste: with all the 45 references that we worked on for hours.... cut and paste here we can argue and progress from your talk page and look at the issues one after the other. no problem.--Sunlinestar (talk) 19:11, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a severe difficulty in communicating with you in English, but I will try just once more.

So you don't like the fact that I use a pseudonym. So presumably "Sunlinestar" is your real name? Or do we have rather absurd double standards?
So the owners of the web site have given you permission to use their material, despite the fact that you are "not related" to them? Or is there some kind of mistake there?
The article that I deleted had 35 references. I have checked every single revision of the article, and at no time did it have more than 35 references.
I can't answer "do you oppose the facto" because I have no idea what it is intended to mean.
Wikipedia's copyright policy does not permit me to restore content copied from elsewhere unless we have proof that the copyright owners have released the content for free reuse by anyone in the world, for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, as it is or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. Unless they have released it under such broad terms posting it to Wikipedia would be illegal. We need proof, not just the say-so of some unidentifiable person who comes along to Wikipedia and says so.
The page was an unambiguous attempt to use Wikipedia for advertising, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. If you came here honestly not knowing that advertising was not permitted, and therefore wasted a lot of time, then I have every sympathy for you, but I'm afraid having sympathy with you is not going to lead me to acting against Wikipedia policy. The best advice I can offer is always to read the terms of use of any web site where you intend to post material. I know that won't help you this time, but it may help avert similar problems in future.
I have spent a significant amount of my time writing these messages, in the hope that they will help you to better understand what the issues are. If you now do understand better, then my time has been well spent. If not, then there probably isn't any point in putting yet more time into trying to explain, as if you don't understand by now then you probably aren't going to. Like you, I have more important things to do. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:34, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There may be a clue here? Paid promotional editing methinks. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 16:50, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Stewart block

About a year ago you blocked diff an editor named Professorreason, who was Robert Stewart (saxophonist) and 'editing' the article that is about him. There may have been one or more IPs blocked at the same time. He's now back diff. As a non-admin, I'd prefer not to get involved in all of this with him again (his COI, abuse, self-promotion, lack of understanding of sourcing requirements, etc etc), all of which is shown in Talk:Robert Stewart (saxophonist)/Archive 1 and the article edit history. Is it definitely the same person? All of the previous edits by the IP listed here were to add info about... Robert Stewart. Normally with an edit like the "he's now back" one I linked to, I'd just revert, but this could be a more complex situation, so I'll follow the course of action that you or other admins recommend. EddieHugh (talk) 00:55, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@EddieHugh: The IP has been used since June 2016, and the sole purpose of its editing has been promoting Robert Stewart, in various articles, in very much the same way as Professorreason. The talk page post is also rather reminiscent of Professorreason's talk page posts. I think it's pretty clear that it's him, and in any case persistent promotional editing, refusal to accept consensus and Wikipedia policies, etc, would be enough to justify blocking. I have blocked the IP address and reverted its recent edits. I wondered about protecting the article, but I decided that is not justified unless he comes back and evades blocks again with another IP address or another account. (Incidentally, in answer to your comment "There may have been one or more IPs blocked at the same time", I didn't place any other blocks on the same day that I blocked Professorreason, and I can't see any IP blocks that seem connected.)

Thanks for that. EddieHugh (talk) 16:59, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Stewart_(saxophonist)

Robert Stewart is going "public" (every known news organization) with this biased organization's purposeful attempt to downplay his contribution to the jazz idiom. Your group has "citation bombed" the page simply for "spite." New upload gives some 80 citations & the kids there simply erase them, and revert back to the citation bombed page; not even reviewing the information. Suing isn't worth the time, but he will not rest until justice is served. He will send a video deposition to news outlets. People need to know how Muslim musicians are treated by Wikipedia. Thanks for reading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1010:B05D:1896:1A18:7051:C91F:4009 (talk) 19:31, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot password

James, I have forgotten my wikipedia password. However, I am still logged in on my mobile and so I am asking you this question with the same account here. Please tell me how to add my email address to my existing Wikipedia account so as to recover my password. Thank you!-Karumari (talk) 10:31, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Karumari: At the top of the page there is a link to your "preferences". Click on that. There are many options you can change there, including changing your password. I don't actually remember whether you have to re-enter your existing password, even though you are already logged in, but if not then you can reset your password there. If you can't do that then there is also an option to add an email address. Even if you can change your password from your mobile login, it would be a good idea to add an email in case you have similar problems in the future. Best of luck with getting it sorted out. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:23, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

JamesBWatson,It is asking me to login first with my existing password which I don't remember, please tell me what to do. Thanks!—Karumari (talk) 13:54, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Karumari: Is it asking you to log in with your old password both if you try to change your password and if you try to add an email address to your account? I have just changed my password, and then changed it back, and neither time did it ask for my old password. If it did ask you for yours then the only explanation I can think of is that I had recently logged in, so it didn't ask me to log in again, whereas obviously you have not recently logged in, so it needed confirmation. I haven't tried changing my email address, so I don't know whether it would ask me to log in again or not. Unfortunately if you have tried both changing your password and adding an email address and neither is possible, then I think there is probably nothing you can do about it. However, you could try asking at Wikipedia:Help desk, in the hope that there just may possibly be someone there who can offer another idea. If you can't get password access back, then create a new account, and say on its user page that it's a new account of Karumari, because otherwise if anyone realises that it is and you haven't said so, you may find yourself accused of sockpuppetry and your new account blocked, which would obviously be pretty frustrating, to say the least. Also, it may be a good idea to give the new account a name that shows the connection to your old account, such as "Karumari 2" or something. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:50, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It is asking for my old password, so I will ask at the helpdesk!-Karumari (talk) 11:42, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rogue IP

Hi James. You might want to have a look at this one, whose only intent seems to be to disrupt Wikipedia: User contributions: 92.68.248.155, User talk:92.68.248.155. Thanks. Acabashi (talk) 12:52, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
