Ärna (thanks)

Hi, thanks for finding a better reference for Ärna. I didn't realise that the reference that I added was commercial. I mean, obviously it looked private, but I didn't get the impression that it'd be spammy to use it.

But anyway, the one you've found now is much better. Thanks!

Question

AFD this again in a week, or send to deletion review?--Otterathome (talk) 16:19, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

That coca tea article.

Just dropping in to note that User:Paitalona has made a message on WP:WQA about the edits on the coca tea article. The user doesn't seem to be a native English speaker or writer, but I do believe you were a bit harsh in the warning of this user for vandalism. I'd remove the warnings, this user seems to have difficulties explaining the situation, but the edits were in good faith and would be constructive if proper referencing and better prose. I'm happy to help assist in problem resolution, but just throwing out the fact that the user has made several malformed inquiries thus far and it does refer to the matter you tried to resolve already. I do not believe the user understands Wikipedia well, judging how one message was a wiki-love (trophy) to another user in regards to the coca matter. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 00:01, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Internet industry

Hello Bonadea, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Internet industry, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: R3 specifically excludes redirects created as a result of a page move: see WP:R3. Could be brought up at deletion discussion instead if necessary. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Olaf Davis (talk) 11:33, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

I've declined your CSD tags on Hire Virtual Assistant; it is not about a company, person or product, but instead a piece of terminology, so it fails A7, and while certainly having tone problems it doesn't rise to the level of substantial spam, I'm afraid :(. Regards, Ironholds (talk)

ActivePath page edit

Dear Bonadea,

I noticed that you have completely removed the company description I took the time to add to our page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivePath) a few moments ago.

I am the Director of Marketing at ActivePath and I took great care to re-write the content fairly and objectively, since there was a comment at the top of our page accusing it of sounding too much like an advertisement.

You have removed virtually the entire content of the page, including content that was there previously which I did not edit today at all. What was so unacceptable about this content that it warrant total deletion?

If you have specific reprimands to certain content elements we add, please contact us and give us a chance to correct it BEFORE you delete the entire content without any prior notice! We now have to re-create the entire page content and I feel that this is grossly unfair, especially considering that we are attempting to comply with Wikipedia content guidelines.

This is very upsetting and I urge you to reverse the deletion immediately. Again, I have no problem to work with you to optimize our content to your satisfaction, but you must understand that there is a real company behind this page and that removing our entire Wikipedia page content is extremely problematic for us.

Thank you, Noya Lizor Director of Marketing, ActivePath — Preceding unsigned comment added by Activepath (talk • contribs) 12:22, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

I noticed that you have been blocked because your username and edits were promotional, so I'll respond briefly here rather than on your talk page. As had already been pointed out to you a couple of times, you should avoid editing articles about things you are personally affiliated with in any way. Quite frankly, if you feel that these edits constituted "fair and objective" editing, it signals that you are indeed too close to the subject to talk about it in an unbiased manner. The article before I edited it was wholly promotional - in fact my first impulse was to nominate it for deletion since it has never been objectively written. You are right that I removed material that was there before your edits. My edits were not in any way targetting your edits specifically - my only objective was to remove the promotional and otherwise inappropriate material from the article. The details about the company's product don't belong in the article at all. If the product itself is notable, some information about its functionality might go into that article, without any verbiage such as "relevant and engaging emails" or other phrasings designed to promote rather than inform.

There is never any need to contact other editors about editing an article, especially not when the whole text is unsalvageably promotional. Please note that nobody owns a Wikipedia article; nobody has any greater right to edit an article than anybody else, with the possible exception outlined above - people who are affiliated with a subject are allowed but strongly discouraged from editing its article. Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 13:01, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Explanation of editing the Christianity page

I would like to explain my actions. Actually, Christianity is trinitarian in doctrine. Hence, I deleted the non-trinitarian cults from the Christianity page. As for the footer, I was actually trying to edit it but couldn't, so I decided to just delete the footer from that one page as I didn't know how to revert it back. I do not like to be called a vandal just for performing what I thought was just to the Christianity page, as I am knowledgeable about this topic. Mirianth (talk) 03:56, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Well, as you now know, deleting content that is referenced by reliable sources, without discussion and without using an edit summary, is not appropriate. Thank you for starting a discussion about the content on Talk:Christianity rather than removing it again. I can see in the archives of that talk page that the subject has been discussed many times before, so I'm sure you will be provided with good arguments as to why the content belongs in the article. --bonadea contributions talk 10:04, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Link Removal - Your Talk With DrWhitefield

Hello Bonadea, first i would like to thank you for the time you spent looking up my external link/s and removing them. I don't know whether you are an automaton or real, or how this is done. I do seek to understand how you do it.

Second, I seek to understand what makes my external links any different from the following ones, which you will see on the Small business page. I am not doing anything different from what is permissible for the links below. Are my links being removed because I am non-US? Do only US people have ownership of external links regardless of their value to readers? Please explain so we can use the medium fairly.

You mean next to the term Golden Jublilee Hit - it needs to be mentioned than the film ran for more than 50 weeks. Shall I put them in brackets? In case of Silver Jub Hit - it means ran for 25 weeks and more.Onceshook1 (talk) 06:11, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Rajesh Khanna

Hi Bonadea,

In the Wikipedia page on Rajesh Khanna, there is mention of Anita Advani being his live-in partner. This is not substantiated and is only her claim after he died.It is widely suspected that it is for publicity and for his considerable property.

Any live-in relationship to be part of a biographical article should at least be acknowledged by both parties and in public. No one, including his manager, his long-time friends, his children or his wife knew about this person as his partner, only as his friend. In a youtube video interview about a year ago, Rajesh Khanna himself said this:

"Anita and I have been known to each other for 32 years. She was in school then. We are just friends. She is a lovely person. I am very fond of her. But we haven’t reached the stage of love”.

Rajesh Khanna has really touched a generation who grew up on his movies and was highly influenced by him. I belong to this generation and his loss is a deep one. It is important to us to keep his memory free from unsubstantiated claims and the bitterness that this woman is creating. Just by someone claiming to be his partner does not make her one.

Wikepedia is a great source of information and I request you to remove any reference to Anita Advani as his live-in partner as it is only gossip and her own claim.

Jessie.kaur (talk) 14:36, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Please bring this up on the article's talk page, where other editors may participate in the discussion. All I can see is that there are several reliable sources verifying that the claim has been made, and one weak source verifying that there is a counter claim. After all, it's reliable sources that are the foundation for the information in Wikipedia articles. --bonadea contributions talk 14:49, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Baskin-Robbins Dhaka

Hi Bonadea, Thank you for checking my changes and notify me. I visited the Dhaka outlet of Baskin-Robbins few times. When I saw It wasn't mentioned in the article I just put it there. But after you deleted it, I checked the official website of Baskin-Robbins and found that the outlet wasn't mentioned. But it is mentioned in the Dhaka City Article of Wikipedia (Dhaka#Culture). Its information can be found in many sites on the internet.

As there is a confusion created about this outlet, I'm not putting it back until I find a reliable source.

OPN800: Blocked

Indeed, my priority would be to improve Wikipedia but, alas, it takes two to 'tango' and whilst my edits were frowned upon by my alleged colleagues, I was eager to enter a discussion rather than receive a dictatorial stance. The 'balls' reference was merely to the lack of courage needed to discuss edits that are made to an article and while these remain subjective subjective, it should be an opportunity to enter a discourse to improve Wikipedia. However, the manner in which some of the community members conduct themselves leave nothing more than an elitist perspective. I'll endeavour to 'convey a different impression' but I refuse to be bullied by the elitists within this community.

I hope it helps.

Link Removal

Hello Bonadea - I saw that you removed the external link for brand evangelism with the explanation of "ELNO".

link removed from "personal web page"

Hi Bona dea , goddnes of good and watcher of wikipedia :-)! You removed a link I made in the Personal web page, stating it's spam. As you can see, I'm a real person and I'm not trying to spam. I just want to add to the article that some people enjoy to do stuff by themself, and would create a personal web page by themselves rather then use something like Facebook , twiteer etc.. The link that I provided was to my own webpage, which I developed myself using python and django. I wanted to link it in that article so that people could see how a personal web page developed by oneslef would like, a sort of "do it yourself" example. By the way, there's no adds or other stuff like that on my web page, it's intended mainly for family and friends but anybody is welcomed! I hope you reconsider itand see it from my side of the pond aswell!

Hi Andrei! I'm sorry if I made you feel like a spammer -- the templated messages are sometimes a bit blunt. It's not that it looked as if you were out to sell something, or anything like that. But there are pretty strict guidelines about what kind of external link is appropriate on a Wikipedia page -- it's all outlined here. There are millions of personal webpages around, and it's difficult to say that one page is more representative of a personal webpage than another page. I hope that makes sense.

Brand strength analysis

Hello Bonadea, my message is in regards to your repeated editing of the article Brand strength analysis. The content was written objectively and based upon my university learnings, as well as research on two companies that have methodologies around the subject, Brand strength analysis. While the methodologies are offered as services by two organizations, they are commonly accepted approaches in brand management. They are open, well documented, and can be applied by an individual within their own organization without purchasing services from either firm. In fact, I once conducted an analysis in a university class project. I then wrote a blog article on the subject, and have since responded to inquiries from people around the world on the subject. Thus, this information is sought out in a non-commercial context, and should not be considered to be spam. I do not believe that a lack of academic research on the subject implies a lack of objectivity.

Further, I am interested in your approach to directly edit the article instead of discussing on the article's relevant talk page.

I look forward to your response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueadept1 (talk • contribs) 22:52, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
