== Who the heck are you to keep reverting my edits?! ==

I have been working on the "Richest Lebanese in the World" list for years and know exactly who is who being a Lebanese myself. Who the heck are you to come and destroy all that hard work and revert all my changes and insult me with that ("you are pissing people off" Why? Because I am actually working on this list unlike you who just sweeps in and acts like Wikipedia's prima donna!?). And your argument of removing Corm is bullshit. If you remove him, then you have to remove Edmond Safra and Nicolas Hayek (the founder of Swatch!). They are both dead but their fortune is now spread among their family hence my note (Family). And yes, for your information, a family can be a billionaire. Everyone knows that! That's like saying that the Walmart family are billionaires but putting the entry under the founder because in the Middle East, nobody knows how that fortune is then divided by the heirs to the billionaire in question! You conceited, uncivil, insulting person! Revert again my edits and I will escalate this beyond your wildest imagination. And that's not a threat. That's a fact. I hope you enjoyed your wiki-break!

Spotjobs

Hi Sionk,

SpotJobs definitely celebrated their 1st b-day October 31, 2013. Please see this article (www.startupsmart.com.au/growth/how-i-did-it/spotjobs-celebrates-its-first-birthday/2013103011048.html) and altho it's dated 30 Oct, the actual date was the 31st (you can verify on their Facebook account).

Any chance you could help me reference this article? I was going to 'talk' yesterday, but your account said you were on break. I'm new to Wiki but work for SpotJobs and have the OK for all these edits.

Thanks much,Tee (talk) 13:29, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again!

Thanks for making the change to Proprietary Company link . . . how exactly did you do that? I also need help linking 'beta' in HISTORY section; should link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Beta.

As I said, I'm new here and altho I read the Help:Link section, still need help!

Appreciate any assistance you're willing to give, Tee (talk) 13:42, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Tee nme, it would be a good idea to add the url above, to verify the birthday. Add it between a <ref> and </ref> tags and it will appear at the bottom of the article as an inline citation. To link "Beta" to Software_release_life_cycle#Beta, use [[Software_release_life_cycle#Beta|Beta]], which creates this wikilink - Beta. Have fun! Sionk (talk) 14:16, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you, Sionk! (Oops, even missed the Subject line earlier :>)) Tee (talk) 17:07, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sionk,

Requesting your advice: I'm thinking to add a section on the Sign Up process to give more of a feel for the site. Or would that be considered inappropriate/too much like advertising?

Thank you, Tee (talk) 00:21, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like advertising to me. And Wikipedia is supposed to provide notable information, not operating instuctions. Unless the sign-up process is particularly unusual and has been written about in reliable secondary sources, I'd recommend you leave it out. Sionk (talk) 00:50, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Sionk, for your guidance and edits! Tee (talk) 13:49, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Women artists

Great job on the worklists!
You've been making a lot of headway on the worklists: saves, the ones that need to let go, and new articles! Great work! CaroleHenson (talk) 03:08, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Completely undeserved, but thanks! In the main I flit around Wikipedia and apart from a couple of artist articles, I've just been doing housekeeping for other people's hard work. Sionk (talk) 15:15, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Richard Feilden

Thanks from the DYK project and I Victuallers (talk) 00:03, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Hi there Sionk - I'm new to Wikipedia and only slowly working out what to do/not do and how to do/not do it! Thanks for the message - I have visited the page this morning and made rectifications, and will return to it and hope to improve further. Thanks again, Mancunian Matters Mancunian Matters (talk) 08:45, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please revert yourself

You've added a source to fido.net that is clearly not talking about the UK ISP. See the talk page there. Someone not using his real name (talk) 02:04, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome to revert it yourself, though it is certainly confusing when they are both named as Fido.Net. Sionk (talk) 02:20, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

A proposal has been made to create a Live Feed to enhance the processing of Articles for Creation and Drafts. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/RfC to create a 'Special:NewDraftsFeed' system. Your comments are welcome. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:14, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral point of view

Hi Sionk,

Not sure if you've noticed on our page, but the 'neutral point of view' message still displays. Do you know the process for having this removed and/or any suggestions for making article more neutral?

Thanks,Tee (talk) 17:03, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Hodges (artist)

Hi Sionk! A representative of Thomas Hodges contacted me based on your deletions to Thomas Hodges (artist). I encouraged the rep to post at Talk:Thomas Hodges (artist), and I hope you can respond when you return from your wikibreak. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 01:14, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rosalie Parker

I believe the subject, Rosalie Parker is notable. The World Fantasy Awards (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Fantasy_Awards) are considered to be of some prestige, as evidenced by the notable authors who publicise their awards, and the various websites that report on the awards. I have added the extra World Fantasy Awards and the Horror Writers Association Award she has won jointly through Tartarus Press. With reference to the editing work, although she is not credited in some of the books she edits, reference to the publisher website shows that she has edited the volumes she is credited with in the Wikipedia article. Looking at the publisher website also meant I was able to correct a mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tartarusrussell (talk • contribs) 19:43, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

SpotJobs neutral viewpoint

Hi Sionk,

Not sure if you deleted my previous message or it got lost 'cuz I forgot a subject again! Anyway if you are able to offer advice for how we can get the 'neutral view point' message removed from our article, that would be great.

Thanks, Tee (talk) 00:11, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging of Sean Fannin

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Sean Fannin. I do not think that Sean Fannin fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because "Fannins first exhibit was during the 2009 finals of the national open art - Duke of Richmond award in Chichester" is a claim of significance.. I request that you consider not re-tagging Sean Fannin for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. Take it to AfD if you think the subject isn't notable after going through WP:BEFORE. DES (talk) 20:37, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As you know, I've raised it on the Talk page. If you want it to be dragged through AfD then so be it. I can see no evidence of the existence of a senior Duke of Richmond award for art. Sionk (talk) 22:56, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orlady (talk) 05:18, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Appropriation (art), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tate Publishing (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Removing advert & additional citation needed tags - Clint Bolick

I have a question - but first I want to say that if this is in any way an imposition, please let me know. You've already been very generous with your help, and I can take this to the Tea House or some other forum if you are busy. With that said - I've been working to improve an article (Clint Bolick) that is tagged with "appears to be written like an advertisement" and "needs additional citations" tags. I'm not done, but I feel like the advertisement tag could come off now. I've tried to tag specific items in the article that need citation, and only a few are left. I think the citation needed tag for the entire article could be removed now, or after I do some more work on the article. Should I just remove the tags myself? Flag the article in some way? What is the best (that is, most constructive & least antagonistic) way to handle this?

Also, any advice on the article itself will be appreciated! Thanks once again - James Cage (talk) 23:13, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Happer Taylor article

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Thomas_Happer_Taylor

Hello, Sionk. I revised the Taylor piece, mainly adding references from notable sources such as The New York Times, Booklist, Library Journal, and the Library of Congress. When you have a chance, please see if I've solved the problems that made the earlier version not ready for publication. Thanks. MurraySuid (talk) 01:30, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Article: "Halliday Sutherland"

Sionk, Thanks for reviewing the article. I have fixed up the citations as suggested. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RetroAuth (talk • contribs) 05:44, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks- Peter Liddle Article

Joseph Gray (painter)

Thanks for the tidy-up etc. Can you fix the entries in the Categories at the bottom of the page please? In all 5 categories his name is listed under J (for Joseph) when it should be under G (for Gray). And how do I add his entry to this page? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Gray . regards, Adrian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herveus1 (talk • contribs) 09:10, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Sionk: Thanks for noticing that the text in this article was part of an existing article. The previous decline called for references, so I just added some without investigating further. I have added the references to Art Gallery of Ontario as you suggested, and nominated the draft for deletion. The Art Gallery of Ontario is an enormous and very active gallery with a lot of history and architectural significance, so it's likely that its article will have to be subdivided eventually, but I agree that there's no point in making a new article without expanding the content. —Anne Delong (talk) 13:35, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you're happy with the solution. To be honest I had no idea you were the author, considering you work as an AfC reviewer yourself it was a bit of a surprise to find out. Keep up the good work! Sionk (talk) 23:32, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, I didn't write it; I just found it when looking through old declined submissions and added some citations. I've been doing that a lot, because 50,000 older ones are being deleted and there's a lot of good material among them. (User:Anne Delong/Afc submissions for improvement) I should have checked that one out more carefully before starting to improve it. I don't run them all through Afc, just ones where I may have NPOV problems (as an Ontarian I am proud of our amazing Art Gallery, you see...) and in this case it's a good thing I did. The backlog drive seems to be working; I'm going to have to get busy and contribute. —Anne Delong (talk) 00:03, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Jon Bunch entry

Hi, Sionk, I'm new to Wikipedia, and I'm trying to get my submission approved. I've been told that I need more notability and more reliable news coverage. I have included sources for nearly every sentence I wrote with reliable news coverage from well-known media. I'm a total loss as to how I can make the right edits for approval. Please help.

Just spent ages re doing this and every fact is supported by press articles to verify each point I am making? Every point has been checked and there is press for every thing I am saying.Unsure what you now mean about supplying a range of independent, reliable, published sources when I have put over 100 citations, press articles in and nothing is 'in house' as you describe?
