List of password managers

Hello Kuru,

We see that you are an editor of the wiki List_of_password_managers page. We believe our Qwertycard product ( please see https://www.qwertycards.com ) falls in this list category, however we fully respect the wikipedia policies on these things and so we will leave it with you to consider if it should be included.

Kind regards, Alex Qwertycards.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.250.65.48 (talk) 12:41, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

User: UxUmbrella behavior on Rihanna videography

Hi Kuru. I have a big concern about the behaviors of this user on Rihanna's articles in all, more specifically on Rihanna videography. He adds a picture which is about to be deleted, with so non-sense caption and he is also sourcing it which he doesn't need to do. Additionally, he is removing a sourced material and adding unreliable sources linking them directly to the names of the directors. As an admin I would like to take care of him. Cheers! — Tomíca(T2ME) 19:48, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Done. Please be careful in the future; content disputes, even with disruptive editors, do not allow you to break the 3RR yourself. I concur that the image is a copyright violation, and its repeated removal was exempt - just be sure to clearly state that in your revert summaries. Kuru (talk) 20:03, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
I will. Thank you on the well-meaning advice. All the best. — Tomíca(T2ME) 20:04, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
You won't believe, but he is back. He is now UxUmbrellaEditor (talk · contribs) and continues with his stubbornness. -_- — Tomíca(T2ME) 15:58, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
That is pretty astounding. I blocked him earlier today; feel free to simply revert his questions in the future when he's evading his blocks, you don't need to respond to him. Kuru (talk) 01:04, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Questionable editors

Hey Kuru,

Sorry to bother you, but I need an administrator's help. I was wondering if you could look into a few editors. On Weekend Today (Australian TV program), a few editors, who only edit this article, keep adding names to the article who are not notable per WP:LISTPEOPLE. Those users are User:Tomatoseds, User:Happyies, User:Howards storage world, User:Jillop, and User:Usernamesed. Like I said, they are all making the same edits and only to this article. I've created a discussion on the talk page, but they don't pay attention to that. If there is something else I need to do, please let me know. If I need to explain more, I'll be glad to do that. Thanks, Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 03:57, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Apologies; I'm only on briefly in the mornings; will check this afternoon. Kuru (talk) 13:07, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
No problem, thanks! Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 14:57, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
And these users as well (I'm 95% sure they're the same person)... User:Giraffesde, User:Factoriesed & User:Pigglots Thanks, Corkythehornetfan | Talk 00:31, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Were you able to find out if they are the same person or anything about the users? Corkythehornetfan | Talk 13:39, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Nevermind, I've asked another administator. Corkythehornetfan | Chat? 19:05, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Help on Big data--is User:Jugdev being disruptive?

Hi! Apologies for bothering you. Since you intervened once before on Big data, I was hoping for your advice.

Right now, I feel I feel that while User:Jugdev is most likely acting in good faith, he is engaged in disruptive editing. I think we're locked in a pattern: If I revert the page during the US day (and explain why), he'll revert it again in the middle of the US night (and post a message saying "I already explained that my change is in keeping with WP style and it comes from a highly respected source"). (example, example, example)

I'm not sure if this formally crosses over to disruptive editing, though. He tends to avoid WP:3RR, I think because he's on a different time zone from the other editors involved. And he's finally stopped removing the "tone" tag from the Big data page. But Talk:Big_data#RfC:_Is_the_opening_paragraph_a_good_summary_of_the_topic.3F on the talk page, all he does is keep insisting over and over that his edits "are in keeping with WP tone" (nobody else seems to think so) and "are factual" and "come from a respected publication on the topic of Big Data" (which is never named or linked to). I do feel like talking to him is not going to help, but I'm not sure what the play is. Should I just try to round up other editors to keep taking turns reverting him? Or have we crossed to the point where I can request administrator intervention?

Huge thanks for your help! And apologies once again for bothering you about this. Narsil (talk) 19:29, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

I think he's clearly edit warring again, but I've left one last warning on his talk page. The discussion seems to be solidly against his version. Apologies for the slow response; my availability is limited during the day. Kuru (talk) 01:32, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

RE:hcltech

Vedanga - you seem to be dedicated to adding small paragraphs sourced to trivial "whitepapers" which are basically brief corporate puffery for the same firm. Do you have a conflict of interest here, or do you really feel these are reliable sources? Kuru (talk) 12:12, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Kuru - As part of my research I referred the pdf files from only one source in order to ensure continuity. I completely understand your concerns and rest assured that I am not associated with the said firm. As and when I come across content that I deem fit to be uploaded on wiki as part of the reference section I will do so without any other intention in mind. I personally feel that resources that I have uploaded as part of reference section are reliable, however if you feel otherwise please let me know.

External link

Hi Kuru,

I am really disappointed with my try to contribute some related articles to the topic "corporate fixed deposit". In my view the article that I added LINK REDACTED is related to the said topic, so I wanna know how can u define it as spam?

Waiting for your reply..

Ileana — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ileanalyardson (talkcontribs) 05:21, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Ileana; If you add any more links promoting bank bazaar, you will be blocked and the site blacklisted. This is obviously a promotional puff-piece and is in no way an acceptable WP:RS for that article. Note that this also goes for using alternate accounts and/or paid editors linking to your blog material or slide shows. Kuru (talk) 12:34, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Am sorry

Hi Kuku,

I apologize for spamming Wikipedia with the Bizagi keyword and I know its not the right way to do things. Having said that, there are a few companies like IBM that have keyword spamming too.

Could I request you consent to add the less spamming links back to Bizagi page please?

Regards

Business topics

Your name just popped up on my watchlist on the Sageworks page and I saw that you had an interest in business topics and have a business background - that's a rare find in these parts.

I was wondering if you had any interest in chipping in every once in a while on business topics where I actually do have a COI. See here for example. I've been trying to get that page up to GA for months now, but it's been very slow going without bold editing, since WP:COI requires I use the Talk page and even after my suggested changes are made, they are often reverted by an SPA. CorporateM (Talk) 22:38, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

I understand the difficulty and from what I've seen you've done a good job of managing your COI; as well as can be expected with the rather nebulous set of community expectations related to paid editing/advocacy. That being said, I'm not comfortable assisting on demand - too much gray. If I see issues pop up at ANEW or AN, I'll look into it. Kuru (talk)
No problem. I actually just now remembered that you were the one from the edit-warring board. I've been brought to ANI a few times in similar circumstances, so you may see me there again from time to time ;-) CorporateM (Talk) 00:09, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Edit Waring

Neither Harari234 or Zekenyan have learned anything from their pervious blocks. They both continue to edit war, break consensus, etc. AcidSnow (talk) 01:50, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

I have provided reliable sources and you have not. You and another user have removed my sources. Zekenyan (talk) 01:53, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

You didn't proved any "reliable source" for your claim. In fact, this was pointed out to you by two other users. Though, you don't seem to care. I haven't provided sources? You honestly must be joking since the article is filled with them. But once again you don't seem to care even the slightest. This isn't surprising though, since as I pointed out earlier: "I have plenty, though what's good will it do? You don't even bother to read the article so why read something that complete crushes your claims"? AcidSnow (talk) 02:01, 15 March 2015‎ (UTC)

In other words you are trying to say you will not have a discussion with me. If you will not participate in the talk page during a content dispute then dont bother editing articles. Zekenyan (talk) 02:09, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

What?!? I was the one who first told you to go to the talk page, I was the one who started the conversation, I was the last person to reply, etc. What more false claims would you like to make? More importantly, you shouldn't be editing any of these articles as you have deliberately chosen to break consensus. AcidSnow (talk) 02:17, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Which article did you last revert me on? I am talking about this article Talk:Harar. Either you participate and provide a source or I will take this matter to an admin. Nowhere on your edit summary did you talk about consensus. I repeat this is your own words "what good will it do". You are not going to discuss you have made that clear. Zekenyan (talk) 02:23, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

That wasn't the last article I reverted you on. In fact, the last article was on the Harari people; which I too was the creator of the discussion and the last to reply. Even then, I too was once again the creator of the discussion and the last to reply on the Harar page. I didn't talk about consensus? Dude the whole point of going to the talk page is to get consensus; which you have consistently failed to receive. Isn't it ironic that you accuse me of not discussing even though I have been involved since day one? You, on the other hand, haven't in more than four days! But nonetheless, you still had time to continue to break consensus. Anyways, if I read it correctly you want more admins involved? By all means be my guest as it won't do you any good. AcidSnow (talk) 02:48, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

It is a reversion of my addition on article Harar Look through the edit summary I had cited my work before a user by the name of Maddayexpresso removed it. I believe sanctions will be needed if you do not come to the table. If you have trouble with the english language. A translator should be arranged if possible. Zekenyan (talk) 02:59, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Haha, did you just imply that I poses poor English skills? Dude you're the one who made a sentence fragment when you wrote that: "If you have trouble with the english language". Anyways, that claim made by that author you provided has already been proven fringe. More importantly, you have no power to impose sanction against me, but my all means try to. AcidSnow (talk) 03:32, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
Apologies; I had logged out for the night. Will look at this in a minute. Kuru (talk) 13:32, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
Don't worry about it. AcidSnow (talk) 13:40, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
Also the discussion has been moved to here: [1]. AcidSnow (talk) 21:06, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Continued Edit Warring on Sageworks page

User CorporateM has begun to edit Sageworks page without developing consensus first. I kindly request your intervention to help as I do not want to resort to reverts. I would request that the article be protected until consensus is developed.--Harald Forkbeard (talk) 17:50, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

I don't see anything requiring an immediate revert (BLP, copyright, etc), nor do I see anything needing immediate page protection. Thank you for taking the right approach and adding a tag to the article instead of reverting. I've commented on the talk page. Kuru (talk) 01:02, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Spurs winning percentage.

I will concede the point. The page you show; however, directly contradicts this page which was posted at the end of the 07/08 season (http://www.nba.com/history/records/alltime_team_wl.html), which clearly displays the Spurs record containing ABA games as the team has not yet reached either the win or loss mark shown in NBA games alone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevster999 (talkcontribs) 17:08, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Continues to remove block notice, warnings, etc. from the talk page. I believe that only users are allowed to do that? If I am correct, you should just revoke access to the talk page. Thank you. OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 17:32, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

He's perfectly welcome to. Declined unblock requests are the only thing that can't be removed, and that's only during the block. Some may view it as problematic if it's a high traffic shared IP, which that one clearly was not. I'm mobile at the moment and will not be able to review in detail. Kuru (talk) 17:36, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for describing in detail. OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 17:49, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

I'll bring it up at WP:FILM or WP:BLP to see what the options are. As this is an easily verifiable fact, it may be that your only option is to pick your projects more carefully in the future, but I'll let editors in that field make the call. Kuru (talk) 21:59, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
