Singapore National Co-operative Federation

I have created a page for Singapore National Co-operative Federation, and as I am from the organization, I updated the details and information about the company, its affiliates, and what it does. Unfortunately, you have deleted this page containing all the history, profile, and list of sectors concerning this organization.

Please give me an update on this matter as I would like to have it retrieved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SNCF Singapore (talk • contribs) 02:17, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Robert Lewy article

This article has several errors which are hard to disprove externally with third party sources but should be corrected. 1. I did never assist in suing breast implant manufacturers as stated in first line . On the contrary, I was a court appointed expert for a class action to which manufacturers were a party.Article should IMHO mention existence of class action and my role. Further down, I did not give expert testimony whatsoever in assisting lawyers to get "vast awards." I only physically examined patients sent to me by the court and issued reports. 2, use of term "alleged" in mid article implies I had some ulterior or legal goal. I only did peer reviewed medical research.. The editors overall have perhaps editorialized on top of the NYT article without sources, adopting it's tone toward the court experts and failing to mention the importance of the class action under Judge Poynter of Atlanta. 3. Most of my cited work is about heart disease and aspirin. Please check Researchgate and mention this and reference it. Otherwise the article is misleading about my scientific work by omission.I wish you would please consider adding some more balance to this article in consideration of these points.

Sincerely Robert Lewy

Eva Evdokimova

Hello Melcous.

I believe my external link was entirely appropriate because it contains much more information about Eva Evdokimova and her family (she was my fourth cousin), as well as many photographs unavailable elsewhere. Please restore it.

Wrongful Reversion of Contributions

You appear to have wrongfully reverted some contributions I made. I suspect that this is a case of false-positive in vandalism/unconstructive edit detection. I will rectify the matter presently. Cheers. 14.2.76.223 (talk) 06:25, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Page content removed

Hi, i just noticed that the wikipedia page about a music artist "rat boy" was removed. the reason was about references and citations, but the page was still under construction and i was editing stuff everyday and was providing references for most things. the stuff that was removed had references that i was planning on adding but now the whole content which i spent hours making has gone and i cant even undo the edit. so please try and help me and restore the content you deleted. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.51.84 (talk) 20:15, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Colette Richarme

Hi, I am trying to make improvements to the page, helping some French-speaking friends who initially posted it. I am a newbie at this so welcome suggestions. I definitely get the need to avoid promotion and hagiography. I have added some external references and an external link so it is not orphaned. Can you make any other suggestions? Also, how should I go about removing the reservations on the page, while respecting community standards on that--I'm a newbie? Sam Samrkaplan (talk) 20:19, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Cool Cat Saves The Kids

So you will know: I removed the PROD that you reposted. PROD is for uncontroversial deletion: if anyone (including the author) objects to a PROD, the article may not be re-PRODed. (See WP:PROD) You may be confusing PROD with speedy deletion, where the author is not supposed to remove the tag. —teb728 t c 04:13, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Harvey Proctor edits

I understand the reasoning, however the issue is a serious one as Proctor was accused of murder and child sex abuse. It is a very long time since we added any kind of link or edit, mainly because of the issue itself.

Operation Midland and the accusers are now discredited, but not before several lives have been seriously damaged by theaccusations.

Feedback on this revert you made: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Love&oldid=prev&diff=695314902 In this case, the personal blog belongs to a writer and academic. Also on the same blog is the complete text of several books by the author. The definition of love derived and announced on that page is not yet provided anywhere else. Rethink what a blog means; it is not inferior to a book; the author writes both. Books are slow, and in many years, this material may find its way into a book. Blogs for this author, are the thought pad, a level above the pen and paper notepad, a level below the book or thesis, and wikipedia is / should be "faster" than Britannica.

Hi Melcous, good job cutting out those excessive refs on the Arsh Shah Dilbagi page.
Did you notice that I was chasing around an editor who did a cut and paste move of it to Arsh Dilbagi?

Article

Hi Melcous, Thanks for your efforts and edits on the human rights activist' page Majid Rafizadeh. Do you think you can address the templates since you are a senior editor. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:2E8C:D950:70B1:2C7C:4FD8:3960 (talk) 02:13, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not a senior editor of any kind, but have been editing here for a while so have become familiar with policies and formatting etc. So I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, and there is no reason you cannot make changes yourself. I will say that while I have done some cleaning up of that article, I think it still has a long way to go. My opinion is that the maintenance tags should stay there because the issues they point out have not been dealt with. So please don't just remove them, but rather read the links, try to understand what the problems are, and have a go at improving the article in those ways! Thanks, Melcous (talk) 03:39, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Still learning the ropes here. I appreciate your trying to help with the Stassinopoulos entry. I used references from the CSUN Oviatt Library, and from NASA itself. If those aren't what's needed, what should I look for. Do I need to get a photo of the awards, for example? Or the patent notice?

Updating pages

I am trying to get a page updated for Timur Gareyev. It is out of date, but because I work with him there is a conflict of interest and all my changes have been reverted back to the old, incorrect and outdated information. How can I have someone update the page to use his correct spelling of name, include a more recent photo of him (he has not approved the photo that is currently being used) and include more recent chess accomplishments and update peak rating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blindfoldking (talk • contribs) 00:19, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

pictures

Hi Mel, I'm not making any content edits. It appears that the creators & editors of the page who added photographs ran into copyright issues. A fan that added a photograph emailed me saying that it was removed even though i'd told them it was fine to upload it. So I uploaded the images myself, as I am the copyright holder. I hope thats ok. If it's ok I'll upload the album covers and I'll just let the fan know so that they can link the images themselves; I don't want to piss anyone at wiki off.

Best,

       SS SamanthaScarlette (talk) 06:31, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm aware of copyright laws. The photograph was taken by my personal assistant for me while she was on the job as per her working agreement I own the copyright on photos she's taken for me. I also own the copyright on the photoshoot pictures and the album covers. The actual album art was designed by me & the photographer gave me 100% ownership of the original photographs. So I don't see where the copyright issue lies.

User:Twolamps

Hi, Melcous. I noticed you put a speedy deletion tag on Insure the Uninsured Project. This is an article created by User:Twolamps. User:Twolamps is part of a group of people that I recently met at a meeting about public policy issues. I am giving a brief lesson on how to edit at Wiki to different members of that group. Each individual in that group has their own public policy interests, so there will likely be little overlap in their article topics. I don't have much time to spend at Wiki, especially on talk pages. If you have time to help mentor User:Twolamps a bit, please do. MBUSHIstory (talk) 17:24, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Kamran Nezami Bio, Am I Doing This Right?

Hi Melcous,

I noticed you've been editing a bio that I would like to add to Wikipedia. I'm not sure if this is where I'm supposed to talk about this. This is the first content that I've tried to add to Wikipedia. I'm trying to stick to the guidelines.

I would like to discuss specific citations that you had on the bio for Kamran Nezami. Is this the proper place to do that? Or should I respond some other way?

Thanks High5Texas (talk) 06:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC) Steve

Proposed deletion of Brandon Tyler Williams

Hello Melcous,

The autobiography was intended to circumvent a page that someone already had attempted to create for me without my knowledge, but was riddled with false narrative and information and was also subsequent deleted, at least according to this link - http://www.thefullwiki.org/Brandon_Tyler_Williams

As I am referred to in various Wikipedia articles about the projects I have been a part of, the intent was to provide an accurate, objective page to mitigate false information being added about me on this platform while also filling in the blanks to the articles that have cited me. I understand your position, do what you must.

Thank you for your recent edits to the David Bain article. The article needs input from editors who have not been involved in the past month's contentious editing, and I'm glad to see you taking part.

Just scroll down to add him on here: List of English Academy Award nominees and winners. Wgolf (talk) 22:52, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marcus Simaika, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Coptic. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Melcous, thank you for the feedback, I have added a citation to my addition. I was surprised that there was no reference on the Wikipedia page to Michael Guest's approach to Judith Collins, it is a material event which in my view needs to be included.

OK thanks for the feedback, I will re-word to remove the direct link between the e-mail and the decision.

Underwater (band)

I'm not 100% sure how this (talk) works. Regarding the underwater page please feel free to roll back or adjust however you see fit. Yes, I am associated with the band and I was tired of various incorrect or incomplete info being posted there...Example, the band was not from Phoenix. I did add information. I did not add anything not-neutral. Just facts. Real and true facts. If you feel the need to remove what I added please do but please at least correct Phoenix to Atlanta, GA. That is an easy fact to establish. I was not trying to ADVERTISE. I was trying to correct the public regarding facts which I thought was the point of the website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nomovement (talk • contribs) 00:03, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I have added a list of sources to the Underwater talk page. Now I will proceed to walk away slowly...Nomovement (talk) 20:42, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

I work for Mr Bentley - I know what I wrote was accurate, and I also know that many of the "sources" that are currently quoted are absolutely not true, even though they are linked to some angry reporters site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DarrynBelieu (talk • contribs) 07:01, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

reference

Good morning Melcous, My message is about the biography of Hervé Roullet: In the latest revision, you say, "this is still not a reference." Yet I put the IAE graduate certificate in the sandbox. If that is not enough, what information must be given to be a valid reference? Thanks for your help.

Diplomas

Concern Hervé Roullet

Hello Melcous and thank you for your explanations. Now, my question is the following one: Can wikipedia consider that a certificate of diploma (PDF for ex.) or an extract of the directory of graduates is a correct reference to reliable source? I indeed thought that these sources were valid; that is why, I put them (PDF) in the sandbox. But, I dont know if the sandbox was the good place... Thank you for your help.

Jim Jupp page

Hi,

I modified the page for Jim Jupp on 4th feb, taking out the redirect to "belbury poly" and adding in referenced biographical data. I understand this was taken down because there was another page for "Jim Jupp". I believe this was a mistake caused by the fact that his band's page "Belbury Poly" was incorrectly marked as a persondata page (which I have now edited).

Could you advise me further ?

thanks, Bob — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobbyspiral (talk • contribs) 13:15, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
