Why

I have been working on that for hours. What did I do wrong? Everything is factual. Allen High School is not 10-12. Jdh1973 (talk) 00:50, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Your most recent edit appeared very likely to be vandalism (e.g. "...this was more than the other very largest...") so I undid all your edits. I see now that some of your edits do appear to be factual, so I assume that was a mistake. You can go ahead and restore the page to your second to last edit and keep working on the page if you'd like. PopoDameron (talk) 00:54, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

why did you delete my edits about a new dimension of chills? i don't understand the reason

can you explain me? 151.53.209.48 (talk) 21:18, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Your edits appeared to be based on your original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. There were no sources to any of your edits. If you can find references to back up your edits, you can add them and republish your edits. PopoDameron (talk) 11:15, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Rajwa Al Saif (August 31)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:
Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Rajwa Al Saif instead.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Please combine draft and article.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
Robert McClenon (talk) 07:29, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi @Robert McClenon. That doesn't seem very fair to me considering my draft has been waiting for review for about two weeks now, and this new article was just made yesterday. My article is clearly better sourced and contains all that this one does and more, so I think it would make more sense to speedily delete the current article under WP:G6 and move the draft to the main space instead. Can an admin verify if that would be possible? I think the user who created the article had a responsibility to check for existing drafts of the article. PopoDameron (talk) 12:41, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
  • G6 is for uncontroversial technical and housekeeping moves. Your suggestion does not fall into this category. First, you've been around a while and you know, or should know, that unless you have an editing restriction to the contrary, you don't have to use the AFC process as an established user. You could have created this article from scratch just as Avicenno did. Second, we're not going to delete a perfectly acceptable, if sparse, article and substitute yours because your feelings are somehow hurt that you didn't get into the mainspace first. There isn't an admin here who's going to do that. This doesn't require a history merge. Take your references and content, edit them into the existing article, and move on. Katietalk 14:22, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
    @KrakatoaKatie: All right, I see what you're saying. At the time when I made the article I was definitely less established and didn't know I could just make an article from scratch instead of a draft, and then didn't think I would be allowed to move it from the draft space even when I was sure I demonstrated notability. Anyway, thanks for the explanation, and I'll get to working on the main article now. PopoDameron (talk) 14:37, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
    Thank you, User:KrakatoaKatie, for clarifying my comment, "Please combine article and draft". By the way, I have removed the G7 tag from the draft, but have replaced the content of the draft with a redirect to the article. As Katie said, this was an "ordinary" merge that doesn't require a history merge. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:42, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
    Cool, thanks for that @Robert McClenon, and sorry for not agreeing with your decision initially by the way. PopoDameron (talk) 16:52, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

re speedy deletion of Builder Lynx

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... the subject is "notable" because it is a small company that competes with several other large ones Sage, Yardi, Builder Software Tools, Lasso, NEWSTAR Constellation and it "describes its subject from a neutral point of view" as described in Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion section G11 Could you please clarify which language on the page you find to be non-neutral? Mucm (talk) 18:45, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Your article lacked reliable sources and was otherwise written like an advertisement for the company. Take a look at WP:RS and WP:PROMO for more information. Thanks, PopoDameron (talk) 18:50, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi PopoDameron, with respect, WP:RS (Reliable Source) and WP:PROMO (Promotional) were not the reasons given for the proposed speedy deletion, it was Speedy Deletion section G11 "Unambiguous Advertising or Promotion". Can you please clarify which wording you found unambiguously promotional, or glowing, or even mildy positive?
Re: Reliable Sources, improving it in that way can be a goal for a page that deserves improvement, not speedy deletion.
Re: Promotional, that page lists the things that Wikipedia IS NOT, such as "Advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment, Opinion pieces, Scandal mongering, Self-promotion, Advertising, marketing or public relations"
Can you clarify which sentences, or words in the deleted page were propaganda, or scandal mongering, or such? Thank you. Mucm (talk) 19:25, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
WP:PROMO speaks directly to what WP:G11 considers for deletion. The article did not have reliable sources, and otherwise it was written listing the company's virtues, which is what an advert looks like. I personally no longer have access to the article, since it was deleted and I am not an administrator, but maybe @Athaenara can clarify this for you as they are the admin that performed the deletion and can go back to the article to cite specifics if necessary. PopoDameron (talk) 19:51, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Again with respect, I would appreciate understanding how you detect "listing the company's virtues" from a simple sentence listing the name of the company, the date and city it was established, and the industry in which it operates, and the products it offers. This describes the opening paragraph of every page on every organization. Mucm (talk) 20:32, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
As I mentioned, I no longer have access to the article, but I expressly remember it containing more than a single sentence. In any case, I think it would be best for you to wait for @Athaenara to reply since they have access to the article. I would also like to ask you if you have any direct relation to this company, such as being the owner, an employee, or having any other direct link. You would be required to report being paid or compensated in any form to edit per the Wikimedia terms of service. Thanks, PopoDameron (talk) 20:49, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply and I am sorry to take up your time. I'm just confused as to whether you just superficially reviewed it and suggested Speedy Deletion and assumed that the deleting editor would think it through, or Athaenara just superficially reviewed it and assumed that you had thought it through. And yes it contained a few other sentences, all equally neutral to the one I mentioned. Unless you can expressly remember some non-neutral words, perhaps you could withdraw your recommendation for Speedy Deletion. Re Terms of Service, yes I have read it years ago and again recently. I think you'd agree if you dug into them that my ~2 dozen edits going back to 2007 (albeit mostly minor), are good-faith contributions. Cheers. Mucm (talk) 22:15, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
@Mucm: The article could easily have been speedy deleted under CSD A7; there was zero claims of significance made in the article and it in no way meets WP:ORG (or even basic WP:GNG as written). Please don't recreate it in article space. If you feel it somehow does meet WP:ORG, then I strongly suggest you use WP:AfC to create it and have a reviewer move the article if approved for publishing in mainspace.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:24, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments. I, as a user, went looking for an article on this company and Wikipedia said one does not exist, do I want to create one? so I did. I read as many of the guidelines as I could but they seemed endless. I understood that Wikipedia is a work of the community so I was just writing a starting point that could be improved by others, clearly I should have used some sort of draft process first while the notability and references get fleshed out. In any case, I appreciate your suggestions, and it may be so that it could have been deleted by pointing to other reasons, but how can I fairly object to the Speedy Deletion if the actual reason given cannot be backed up -- which I have yet to see -- a word or phrase that is "unambiguous promotion", or "highlighting virtues", or in the least bit glowing, or even positive (or anything but neutral). I simply tried to write this as similarly as I could (but much shorter initially) to other organization pages, e.g. Kobo Inc., neutral information on place of organization, line of business, product, history, etc. I'm just trying to understand where the "unambiguously promotional" words were so I can avoid it in future articles.

Tagging pages for deletion

Hello, PopoDameron,

I'm concerned that you are tagging articles with clear notability for deletion. Please be sure you know the different Criteria for Speedy Deletion thoroughly and know when it is appropriate to use them. If you focus in on certain areas, like politics, be sure you sure the relevant notability guidelines well. Tagging pages for deletion is something that should only be done when you have a lot of experience actually editing articles, not just doing counter vandalism work. I just encourage to spend time becoming very familiar with the policy pages devoted to different forms of deletion.

If you ever have questions about deletion or notability, please bring them to the Teahouse where more experienced editors can offer some guidance. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 05:24, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

P.S. Since you are already using Twinkle (which is great), you should enable Twinkle to start up deletion logs for you so you can keep watch over pages you have tagged for deletion. Just look in your Twinkle Preferences. I've been editing here regularly since 2013 and I still maintain deletion logs for CSD, PROD and XFDs and I sometimes look them over and see where I might have misjudged an article. It's useful in improving as an editor. Liz Read! Talk! 05:28, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Ah all right, thanks. That's a pretty useful feature. PopoDameron (talk) 05:31, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi Liz, thanks for the heads up. I see now that I definitely jumped the gun on that one, but I think I have now successfully tagged over a dozen articles for speedy deletion, and I do believe myself to be familiar with the criteria. I'm pretty sure this was my first mistake in this area. I could be forgetting another, but I generally think that my contributions in CSD have been a net positive. I totally could be wrong about that since as you know I'm pretty new here, but in any case I'll definitely be more careful in the future. Thanks again!

Wing Chung

Hello, I undone your revert. I understand what you are saying about a consensus, however, a consensus isn't needed for material not sourced, which over half the list has been. Also, there is a procedure for how lists are suppose to be done, which was not known by myself not seemingly the other person on the talk page. Lists are suppose to have their own pages and be linked to. Presumably this is why the practitioners page was changed to this format as well, this also makes how lists are handled consistent within the page. Please post on the Wing Chun talk page if you have any other concerns on the format that lists within an article should take. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lists_within_articles — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bverji (talk • contribs) 03:19, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Would you like to WhatsApp me for sources?

@Mihalis52: Heh sorry that's not how it works. If you have reliable sources, check out WP:CITE to learn how to cite them in the article yourself. PopoDameron (talk) 04:46, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Would you like to WhatsApp Me for sources, it’s very rude to remove other peoples stuff with out first massaging then directly I don’t know how to add things WhatsApp Me and we can talk and you can go through things with me? Mihalis52 (talk) 04:52, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

@Mihalis52: Sorry I'm not giving you my number bud. If you want, you can read up about how to cite sources and do it yourself, or if not you can post about it on the article's talk page and people will help you out. PopoDameron (talk) 04:55, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Popo Dameron massage me and explain to me how to add and edit please and it would be kinder to massage a source first before deleting what they have contributed Mihalis52 (talk) 04:55, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

My 23Sept edits on Sanskrit

You left a message on my talkpage that my 23 Sept 2022 edit on Sanskrit does not have reliable citation. My edit clearly cites a reputed source ThePrint (<ref name=veda1>[https://theprint.in/india/education/technical-regulator-asks-universities-colleges-to-recognise-admit-students-of-vedic-board/1138372/India Technical regulator asks universities, colleges to recognise & admit students of Vedic board], [[ThePrint]], 22 Sept 2022.</ref> 58.182.190.156 (talk) 21:14, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Prague Metro

Do you have any motivation as for why the constructive edits were deemed inconstructive, other than me not being an administrator? This structure hasn't been reverted in Germany, Italy and is used in your native country the US without problems. --Assimo23 (talk) 22:31, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

I left a message on your talk page about that, but the reason I reverted was that part of the definition of a metro is that it is underground, so it is rather redundant to specify that in addition, especially to the short description which should be as concise as possible. Are you acting with any kind of consensus? – Popo Dameron talk 22:33, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Julius Maddox

agree with your removal of the unofficial maddox lift citing source reliability. given that the lift was performed out of competition without any robust verification measures, do you reckon i'd be able to find a reliable source that recognizes the lifts? or would i be wasting my time. asking for your opinion as a more experienced editor 216.164.249.213 (talk) 08:39, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

I agree with the other editor who said that there shouldn't be an unofficial records table to begin with. Official records exist for a reason after all. If there were multiple genuinely reliable sources, then maybe I would change my mind about that, but certainly a youtube video wouldn't count. – Popo Dameron talk 17:33, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Fine-tuning

Hi PopoDameron! Just a quick query; would it not be better to keep fine-tuning (physics) as just fine-tuning? It is generally what one means when referring to the topic, so it would make sense. This seems to be a overall policy on Wikipedia as far as I can tell; the (...) is reserved to whatever the secondary topic is (Say inflation versus inflation (cosmology), or correlation function and correlation function (quantum field theory). OpenScience709 (talk) 12:02, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Hey User:OpenScience709! I can see why you might believe that the definition of fine-tuning in physics is what one generally means when referring to the topic since you seem to be very involved in that world. I am personally the same but in the world of machine learning, and I can tell you that 'fine-tuning' is a very, very common term in the field and that I don't believe it to be a secondary topic. When I Google fine-tuning now, I see around as many results that have to do with the definition in ML than the one in physics, so I think it's fair to say that both are frequently searched. Let me know if you still disagree though and I'm sure we'll figure something out! – Popo Dameron talk 14:27, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
I mean fair. Let's leave it as is for now. If in a few months one has overwhelmingly more views than another we can reconsider, but I'm also not very fussed. OpenScience709 (talk) 20:38, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi PopoDameron. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:29, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
