Mind your own business, I have no interest in your opinion as it is irrelevant. Comment
Clearly you dont know how to use Google and also I resent your comment of my impersonating Devlin Crow. He asked me to set it up for him and he had created his account and gave me his log in information so I could do his page for him. His aim was to link with other individuals on this site that he had worked with. He doesnt need to write an autobiography as he has his own website for that. Although there are plenty of autobiographies on this site, so there are no set rules.
I checked your status and it seems you are irrelevant to my complaint as you could also be called a Stalker. So kindly mind your own business and deal with people who actually want to talk to you, I not being one of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Devlin crow (talk • contribs) 04:22, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Devlin crow: Actually, it is my business. Now, to answer your comments:
- Accounts with multiple users are not allowed.
- Wikipedia is not LinkedIn.
- A person going by his name was writing his biography. How is that not an autobiography?
- There are no known autobiographies on this site.
- Once again, this is my business.
Additionally, please sign your comments by putting four consecutive ~ at the end of the comment, like this: ~~~~ Thank you. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 04:35, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Hey Uncle Milty (grew up with and love that name!)
I posted my biography and when I got up today I found you deleted it. I am not sure why. I can assure you I am a real person. I posted it on my user page and it was supposed to go into the category of "American Cannabis Activists". Can you tell me what I did wrong and please tell me how to fix it. I appreciate your time and considerations. Thank you so much.

Paul Golding
Hi Uncle Milty!
just thought you should allow my edits of the Paul Golding page, as he is a racist who runs a far right racist organisation, and it's something we need to eradicate in the current climate. Understanding and acceptance is the only way forward for the human race right now. :)

Hi!Uncle Milty
I am new to Wikipedia and still can't get a hang of where abouts. The web site which i shared for reference was no way related to me but still i realized it should not be done that way. I'll do better referencing. Can i still have the same title "Snack-Seedai" and go ahead or should i frame a different title for it.
Hoping to create better pages in Wikipedia
Regards,
Meena Kumar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snack-Seedai (talk • contribs) 4:26, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
- Your best beginning move would be to abandon the account you have at the moment, as the user name violates Wikipedia's rules for user names. Create a new account with a less commercial name, and use that account only. Once you have your new account, visit The Teahouse where they have some excellent guidance for new users. They can help you in many areas, including the creation of your first article. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 12:01, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
Thank You Uncle Milty!
Would take up the advise and start a fresh one.

I suggest you review the article in question. Its a poorly sourced, mostly self-sourced, article of an individual which fails WP:MUSIC. There are 20 connected articles without any sourcing. I suggest you review the qualifications of WP:MUSIC, review fully the article in question and cease attempting to impugn my integrity as an editor as your comments are one of a bully not one of competence. I trust this was an oversight on your part. You may wish also to weigh in on the delete discussion of the article itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthbetold123222 (talk • contribs) 13:35, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Watusi (band) listing
Hi, I just updated the Watusi (band) page here. and I see its considered for deletion?! Please dont delete. Its important to have it listed, Watusi is my group for 30 years, we are touring Costa Rica right now, and soon S. America....growing and spreading our positive music. I can be reached at 469-338-9237 usa and rasjimbe@yahoo.com Thank you, blessings. I am trying to figure out how to add a few images. Rasjimbe (talk) 23:47, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
- As far as I can tell the group doesn't meet the guidelines for notability for a musical group. If you can find references that prove otherwise they need to be added to the article, and then you should probably stop by Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Watusi (band) and discuss it. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 00:00, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Plural name
Hello, I'm new to editing on Wikipedia and my name is plural because it said STLeditor was taken. I'm just a guy from St. Louis. Is there a way to change it to something with numbers if having a plural name isn't ok? Still figuring out this message thing hope this is the right way to contact you, I don't know how to respond to the talk thing without sending a message which I think this is, hah.

Hi, thanks for reporting that character… I don't even want to say the name… the Raquel Horton guy. Did he really think he would be allowed to use a name like that? These people amaze me sometimes. Bishonen | talk 23:24, 29 December 2015 (UTC).
- Well, it took me a bit to figure out how to report it and if I should wait until the user did a bit more editing. I thought it might be a typical 'say a bad thing about a school chum' name, but then I got smart and searched for the actual target. Didn't look very good at that point.

Hello Uncle Mitty
In response to your notification, I was asked by a colleague to review the page. The edit that was executed does not in any way constitute vandalism as it is defined by Wikipedia code as "any addition, removal, or change of content, in a deliberate attempt to damage Wikipedia. Examples of typical vandalism are adding irrelevant obscenities and crude humor to a page, illegitimately blanking pages, and inserting obvious nonsense into a page. Abusive creation or usage of user accounts and IP addresses may also constitute vandalism."
Thank you for the heads up and let's please support free speech, new artists, and broader definitions of significance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drcspanos (talk • contribs) 13:42, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

My page is not for advertising.
Hello, My name is Patricia Monna and I am a professional psychic medium . I am trying to bring awareness to the fact that psychics should be used (with proven abilities) In law enforcement in missing person cases. I am new to Wikipedia and I am trying to figure out how to post an article regarding locating missing persons through the use of intuition. I have no intentions of trying to sell myself or my business as I already work with law enforcement. Please give me a chance before you delete my profile, to figure out Wikipedia and how to post my article. Thank you, Sincerely, Patricia Monna — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patricia Monna (talk • contribs) 23:18, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- "I am trying to bring awareness to..." That's the very definition of promotion, and that's why I tagged your user page for deletion. Wikipedia is not the place to advocate an idea.

Query on your revision of my update to Kendall Ansell
Hi Uncle Milty, Happy New Year to you. I was updating the page for Kendall Ansell and noticed that it was reverted by you. I am still learning about wikipedia edits, though would appreciate some specifics on how I could update the edits [now lost??] to ensure they are compliant. Were certain descriptives too promotion-oriented or was it other elements? Many thanks! Chris — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wandsworth12 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- The entire article was loaded with promotional language before you added even more promotional language. I have trimmed much of the previously-existing promotional language, and I'm at a loss as to what she's done to be considered notable enough to have an article in Wikipedia. My suggestion is that you visit the notability requirements for inclusion in Wikipedia and see what you can do to improve the article along those guidelines. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 23:43, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

User creating hoaxes
Greetings, Uncle Milty. You happened to tag Christian_Mootson a few seconds before I did; so thanks! I'm wondering, though, how best to deal with the user, given that all that they have done on Wikipedia is to create hoaxes? Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 19:12, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
- Tag their user page(s) with the template warning them for creating hoaxes. If they continue then you can report them at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 19:22, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
- That's the warning I was looking for, thank you. If it continues, they will certainly end up at AIV, but I did not want to hit them with an "unconstructive edit" template when this was slightly different. Vanamonde93 (talk) 19:53, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
Nomination of Christian Mootson for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Christian Mootson is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Sismarinho (talk) 22:03, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Agreed PAGE deletion (User:KailleAtLight)
This page is fine to delete, but not the user, no!
I am new to editing and creating with Wikipedia and misinterpreted the User page link at the top to be something like a user profile. Still learning my way around. I had intended to add more to it, but now that I understand what it is actually for, that page can be deleted.
The account I created will be used by me for valid purposes and is not a spam account. Please to not delete me!
I have familiarized myself further with the page creation policies through my attempts to understand and will not be making that mistake again.
Please don't delete my user. I am new and despite many hours of reading, it's still very confusing. It's fine that you delete my page. I only created it trying to adhere to the transparency rules. I'm not here to promote myself. I'm simply wanting to write an article for a friend of mine that's not even a client.... 67.44.208.163 (talk) 21:27, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
- @KailleAtLight: Your user account is not in jeopardy. However, you user page is very promotional and that's why I tagged it for deletion. I do not have the power to actually delete the page, that will be done by an administrator if they agree with my assessment of the page. If you are trying to adhere to the transparency rules, you should probably visit Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure for more information. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 21:37, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

If I had to make a bet, I would bet that the sandbox:
is never going to be part of a Wikipedia article. That said, someone could make a plausible case that it was a legitimate sandbox for testing purposes and just happens to use the name of the fictional place. My preference is to wait a bit to get a clearer picture of the editor’s intents. Feel free to nominate again, and maybe someone else will reach a different conclusion but I prefer to use as much AGF as possible.--S Philbrick(Talk) 14:11, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Sphilbrick: No problem, I understand. It looked like game data to me, and the tables are really well formed for a brand new Wiki markup user. Thanks for letting me know. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 18:52, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- I'm fine with removing game data, but I think it was a temperature chart. I actually thought it was for a real place when I declined it, then I looked again and it is for a made-up place, but I still considered the possibility they want to add some temperature tables to some locations and used a make-up place for practice. I'm taking more time than this really is worth, but sometimes I decline a nomination, and want to use it as a learning experience for an editor, to see why it shouldn't have been nominated. This is in a different category and I didn't want anyone seeing that I declined it to infer that I was calling it a mistake.--S Philbrick(Talk) 19:17, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Question about Timeline (TV series) edit
Hi, you've warned me about COI and need for citation on edits I recently performed on the Timeline (TV Series) page. Certainly I was involved in the series 28 years ago but my intention was simply to correct mistakes and add additional information on the previous stub page. Since this was long in the past, there should be no conflict of interest provided the information is accurate. However paper citation of credits (requested for my edit) no longer exist. The best citation is the actual credits on the tail end of each PBS episode of this timeline series. I attach a screen grab as an example. My question is whether such visual citation on an old TV show is sufficient to prove accuracy. Thank you Eaton Creative Eaton Creative (talk) 20:26, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

- @Eaton Creative: That was actually Melcous (talk · contribs) that was editing that article and left you the note about citations. Melcous will know more about this particular article than I will, so you should ask on their talk page. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 20:56, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

You could send it to RFD, but that's the only course of action. The criterion is unambiguous: "This criterion does not apply to redirects created as a result of a page move." It's not hurting anything, so it's not a case of IAR, and it doesn't meet any of the other criteria. Nyttend (talk) 00:25, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
