Factually Inaccurate Article[edit]

[[1]] (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hi there,

I hope you are well.

I would like to flag the 'Controversy' section of the Rated People page as factually inaccurate, as it does not have accurate, reliable or factual references to back up this claim.

I would like to request that this section of the page be reviewed as it does not adhere to the Wikipedia guidelines of being unbiased and properly referenced.

Kind regards, 81.133.144.31 (talk) 16:37, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Removed as the section was largely unsourced and was being used as a soapbox. However this source could be used to write neutrally worded content. --NeilN talk to me 17:02, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Inappropriate Actions and behavors by Editors Padenton and Msnicki[edit]

This isn't a forum to discuss user conduct. This forum is for helping editors how best to edit the content of articles. Editors who have issues with other editors' behavior and don't feel that they can hash it out between them on their respective talk pages should take their complaints to an administrator or to one of the conduct forums, AN, ANI, ARBCOM, or Arbitration Enforcement, as applicable. — TransporterMan (TALK) 16:31, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I would like to draw your attention to [[2]]. The editors that proposed this deletion have been running their own personal vendetta.

This deletion request is, in my opinion, a vendetta against my arguments to keep the article NIM. [[3]] by Padenton|✉  and Msnicki (talk) who have tried to retaliate by deleting a slew of articles. Sources of information that were and are in my opinion quite notable are being deleted by Padention and Msnicki. Notice from a comment in the comment in the Nim deletion discussion how many articles are now missing.(Written by Itsmeront 23:06, May 11, 2015‎)

Also note in [[4]] when the vote when against them Pandenton 'Msnicki' decided to inappropriately push the issue [5] "Sorry, I really hate when people blackmail me. Please take it to DRV if you think it has any merit.--Ymblanter (talk)"

This is just another long run of actions that should have wikipedia editors to consider the modivations of these editors.

Itsmeront (talk) 23:03, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

  1. The article you made as a memorial for your friend does not establish his notability and his notability is in question, which makes it perfectly fair game to be nominated at AfD, especially since searches do not establish his notability either.
  2. Those were all deleted fairly, you're welcome to talk to the closers and seek deletion review. Otherwise, get over it and stop re-posting this everywhere hoping someone will care, because they won't. I doubt even Trustable cares. You're welcome to ask him/her.
  3. I have NEVER edited on Ymblanter's talk page, and the history proves it, so don't accuse me of stuff I have never done. The vote also didn't "go against me", it was no consensus for both the AfD and the deletion review.
  4. It's nice that you notified Ymblanter on his talk page. But you failed to do so for myself and Msnicki as you are required to do in any editor dispute.
Can someone close this as there isn't a single honest thing Itsmeront has said and this isn't even close to being the correct venue? Though he's been forum shopping on this already a fair bit. ― Padenton|✉   04:23, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

I corrected the reference above and attributed the blackmail to Msnicki. I also added a notice on both of your talk pages. Dr. Raab was was notable on his own, he was the heart and soul of a very large open source community, the deletion request is a tatic and harrassment. See also: Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Roscelese for previous warning and collusion and the following on Msnicki (talk) page:

Please stay as far away from me as you can. If I do something wrong, surely somebody else will notice and take care of it. You do not need to try to police my activities or to make frivolous accusations that I started an attack page. Really? The nerve!

Itsmeront (talk) 07:53, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the link to ( Trustable Talk) I do think that the comments from Caroliano are very useful and should also be reviewed.

@Padenton: You nominated a whole bunch of programmming languages at the same time based on his list. I can't do a serious search for sources on so many languages at once, and I don't want to see them all deleted, so I came here to ask for help, as he was interested in Nim deletion, maybe he don't want some of those languages articles lost. And I do think Wikipedia is being hurt by this. Caroliano (talk) 20:27, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Itsmeront (talk) 08:11, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

@Itsmeront: Not sure why you're linking the Roscelese enforcement request I brought to ArbCom, it doesn't support or serve as an example of a single claim you've made. All it shows is I'm a responsible Wikipedia editor that seeks admin assistance when an editor with previous restrictions reverts 1 1/2 weeks of a new editor's changes, possibly providing insufficient explanation. But here's an idea: how about you stay out of discussions you know nothing about? It seems more likely that you are the one with a grudge here, if you're digging through my history looking at every discussion I'm involved in. Is your goal to link to random discussions involving responsible acts by those you've accused in the hope that the reviewer of your claims will not read it and judge us guilty based on our being in those discussions? I said ask Trustable if he/she cares, not ask Caroliano. ― Padenton|✉   14:09, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Little Miss Nobody (American murder victim)[edit]

Could someone take a looksie at Little Miss Nobody (American murder victim). I'm also wondering. Does the (admittedly small and getting smaller after 50+ years) possibility that the murderer(s) of this female child might still be alive affect the article in any way? Paul Austin (talk) 06:41, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Quest Diagnostics - claim of bias[edit]

This article was tagged NPOV in 2014 with an unsigned Talk comment that it was "very biased" in favour of the company. Looking at the article, I cannot detect bias, other than that the so-called "history" of the company was material which usually appears under a section titled "Controversies" i.e. lawsuits etc. IMO this is arguably bias against the subject, but let that pass. The rest of the article appears to be a factual timeline of acquisitions and management changes. I've re-titled the lawsuits bit "controversies" and the timeline "history". I would also remove the tag, except for the warning not to remove it till "the dispute is resolved". Another editor has expressed a viewpoint broadly concurring with mine, and the original tagger has not responded. So how can the dispute get "resolved"? If an editor tags an article NPOV then drops out of the discussion, it seems that it never can be. My thought was to escalate it to a third party editor, but I don't want to get involved in the acrimony common on Talk pages. Does a senior editor have any thoughts? Could one please look at the article and see if the accusation of bias is fair? Chrismorey (talk) 00:26, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

At the first glance, the history section reads like a list of company's press releases. To be unbiased it has to represent all the major events regarding the company, good or bad. Here and here are candidates for some of the bad events. “WarKosign” 03:40, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Liberland[edit]

I'm asking for experienced editors to join the discussion on Liberland. I have tried to bring some neutrality to the text which has an odor of promotion. Currently most editors that support my efforts have been barred from editing because the page was semi-protected by a moderator from Czechia who just happened to sit on the other side of the argument. I do not enjoy being on the receiving end of personal attacks, which is happening now. So if nobody comes, I'll consider the article a lost cause. Cheers, The Jolly Bard (talk) 18:59, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Carbon Disclosure Project[edit]

Hello,

I work for the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and have noticed that our Wikipedia is quite out of date. CDP has reorganised since the page was last updated and also has new programs which are not mentioned in the entry at the moment. https://www.cdp.net/en-US/Results/Pages/reports.aspx We also have more investors supporting us than cited under the "mechanism" section of the page, https://www.cdp.net/en-US/WhatWeDo/Pages/investors.aspx , are operating out of more offices, https://www.cdp.net/en-US/Pages/Contact-Us.aspx , and work with three times more companies than the article suggests. https://www.cdp.net/en-US/Programmes/Pages/CDP-Investors.aspx . Since I am employed by the organisation I will not make any changes myself, but I would be really grateful to anyone willing to make the CDP page more accurate and up-to-date. Many thanks, Alex AlexCDP (talk) 16:25, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

You know, maybe I'm too soft on this but I don't see any real problem with your making purely factual, well-sourced edits to an article where you are affirmatively and clearly disclosing your COI. I'd just say something in the edit summary like, "factual edits by interested party - see Talk" and then lay it out there. But let's see what others say. (Also I hope you don't mind but I took out the reference coding from your links above, to avoid the annoying floating list of refs at the bottom of the page here.

Robert Sears (physician)[edit]

Robert Sears (physician) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
The current article does not follow a neutral point of view. It also only focuses on Dr. Sears as an anti-vaxers and does not include other information about him as a pediatrician and author. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BookwormAtTheBorder (talk • contribs)

Harbhajan Singh Khalsa[edit]

Harbhajan Singh Khalsa (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hi! I am the major contributor to an article that has been flagged for numerous issues over the years. These issues are as yet unresolved and I am hopeful that you might help me resolve them. They are: a/ This article relies too much on references to primary sources (September 2008); b/ This article possible contains original research (September 2008); c/ The neutrality of this article is disputed (May 2011); d/ A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject (January 2015).

{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbhajan_Singh_Khalsa%7CHarbhajan Singh Khalsa}

Let me confess that I knew the subject of the article and that in 1983 he assigned me the job of writing his biography. Though that bio is still uncompleted, it means I have unparalleled knowledge of the subject and the associated primary source material, some of which was used in the writing of this article. Interestingly, I recently found that the material in this article has been used for a Catholic Secondary School textbook, which I presume could then be cited as secondary source material.

Kindly advise me as best you can. If the entire article should go down because by Wikipedia standards I am "unqualified to write it" then so be it. Guru Fatha Singh Khalsa (talk) 20:19, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

For the secondary sources, you might like to ask at the WP:Reliable sources noticeboard. Apart from that, if you experiment by stripping the content that is directly linked to primary sources and seeing what you are left with might find that you still have a reasonable Wikipedia article. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:26, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

edit war on Hamid Arabnia[edit]

I added an entry on Hamid Arabnia that is relevant and supported by authorative citations, but it keeps getting deleted. Arabnia's name recognition in the sciences is comes primarily from the fact that he started a large number of conferences, all of which have been delisted from DBLP. I did not comment on whether or not DBLP's action was justified, all I did is simply report its action (an action that impacts many people). I see no legitimate reason that my edit should be deleted. MvH (talk) 21:25, 22 May 2015 (UTC)MvH

We don't deal with content disputes at this forum. Please continue the discussion on the article's talk page at Talk:Hamid Arabnia and if that doesn't work, try WP:DRN. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:19, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
