Welcome to Yunshui's talk page. I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your talk page (or the article's talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or let me know where specifically you'd prefer the reply.

Probably this is your 1st GA so congrats and thanks a ton for your great help.

How do I get back all of the information that you've just deleted

Hello. According to the history of List of State University of New York at Purchase people you have removed everyone that you considered "not-noteworthy". I have been working with the alumni of the college for the past 5 months to bring more awareness to what they are doing and have done. All of the names that you deleted were given with permission and had various links to biographies and current works attached. Now all of that information has been deleted. Where can I get it back? This is inexcusable.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bellaga (talk • contribs) — Bellaga (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

The concept of "notability" has a very specific meaning within Misplaced Pages. All of the names I removed from the list were insufficiently sourced to attest to notability in these terms - personal websites and IMDb entries do not even come close to the sourcing requirements. Per the inclusion guidelines for list entries, all entries on lists need to meet the same requirements as articles would.
It's quite possible that some of the people whose names I removed do in fact meet the notability guidelines - in that case, the appropriate thing to do is write the article first. Once notability is confirmed by the presence of an article, as it is for all of the entries which I left extant, that name can be added to the list. Yunshui 雲‍水 19:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Just so I understand correctly, if the alumni that we wish to include do not have[REDACTED] pages, we will need to create one for each individual alumna/us in order for he/she to be considered notable? I was also confused at the advertising and solicitation WP:ARTSPAM claim that you cited. How did List of State University of New York at Purchase people fit this? Both the College and I are extermely disappointed that this work has been deleted without warning, but we do want to get as much back up as possible. If you could help me create something that is 'wikipedia friendly' and thus won't be deleted, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bellaga (talk • contribs) 13:27, 29 June 2012 (UTC) — Bellaga (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

That's pretty much the gist of it, yes. I'd be happy to help create articles on some of these people; give me a few names that you think might meet the guidelines (basically, this) and point me to some sources if you know of them, and I'll get started on Monday. As to the ARTSPAM allegation, I apologise if it was unwarranted - it's exceedingly common here for people to add themselves and links to their websites for the purpose of self-promotion, and I assumed that was what had happened here. Yunshui 雲‍水 15:38, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)Bellaga, what is your relation to SUNYP? There appears to be some sign of a possible conflict of interest in your pattern of edits to Misplaced Pages. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:44, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Yunshui, that would be great. I really appreciate your help. I will confirm with my supervisor on Monday and get back to you asap. As for the conflict of interest, I am again confused by the claim. I currently work for SUNY Purchase in various capacities, and assist with alumni outreach. While doing so I thought it would be interesting to highlight that Purchase College has graduated not just successful performing arts students but some well-known Liberal Arts and Science students, also. The fact that almost all of the notable alumni listed on List of State University of New York at Purchase people are from the performing arts departments is misleading. Hence my expansion. Is this a conflict of interest? Thanks again. Bellaga (talk) 17:12, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Took longer than I expected (an illness in the family has kept me away from the keyboard the last few days), but this morning I've created a basic stub for Luis Croquer. Hopefully this will give you an idea of the sort of thing needed to demonstrate notability: note the multiple sources from independent parties, including several newspapers. This level of coverage is about the minimum required for inclusion in Misplaced Pages.
As regards conflicts of interest, you should be careful in editing articles relating to SUNYaP. The easiest way to avoid conflicts of interest is to post the changes you'd like to see made on the article's talkpage. Uninvolved editors can then make the changes for you in a neutral manner, assuming that they agree with them. Yunshui 雲‍水 07:40, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

The reliable resources

Dear, i am a Joomla Fan and I've just submitted my article to Misplaced Pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Joomla-templates/extensions#Install_extension I receive your message that my article lack of reliable resource. I read all the instruction of Misplaced Pages, but I am in stuck, i can not know what i can found the reliable resources to meet wiki's require. Can you help me and explain me more detail. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mobravebits (talk • contribs)

Hi Mobravebits. Much as I hate to say it, if you can't locate reliable, independant sources to support the notability of the Joomla extensions, then we probably shouldn't have an article on them. You could consider adding some of your information to the Joomla article (avoid adding intallation instructions and the like), but the extensions themselves may not warrant a separate page.

FDB suggestions

I have some two more ideas for FDB response template. First can be for unclear messages. Many users don't specify their experience, and that is why the response has to decided on the basis of the mood they have selected. The second one can be for those newbies who are feeling that thy have been bitten by other users. I have seen many such feedbacks where users have expressed sadness over the attitude of other users.

Jonathan Drubner Wiki

I represent Mr. Drubner and wanted to make his Misplaced Pages page more resourceful to represent who he is not only on camera but behind the scenes and in the community. I am confused as to why you believe the article i keep posting is copied. Any bio on ESPN or any other site is property of Drub-Enduced entertainment where I do work and represent. I want to make Mr. Drubners Misplaced Pages page more informative especially his prior work to ESPN. Please resolve this issue so I can make this happen. Thank you and sorry for the constant questions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JordanLacrosse1729 (talk • contribs) 19:26, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jordan. There are multiple problems with your edits to the Jonathan Drubner page. First and foremost, you have a clear conflict of interest - it is therefore highly inadvisable for you to edit this page. If you want to see alterations made to the text, the most appropriate way to approach this is to post your proposed amendments on the article's talkpage, so that other editors can assess their neutrality.
Secondly, we have no guarantee of your identity. I'm not for a moment suggesting that you don't work for Mr Drubner, but if you do in fact have permission to release the text from ESPN (which seems unlikely, since you don't work for them - you'd have to provide evidence that copyright for the text was retained by Drub-Enduced Entertainment (surely "Drub-Induced"?) and was not released to ESPN) then you would need to prove it - I'm afraid we cannot simply rely on your say-so for copyright issues. Details on how to submit copyrighted material can be found here. However, since the text is promotional, rather than encyclopedic in tone (would you expect to see statements like: "And if you’re asking yourself, is that the same “Drubner” who wrote, directed, and starred in the award-winning short film musical comedy, “Antiterror Man,” about life in New York City the day after 9/11, yup... that’s him" in the Encyclopedia Britannica?) it is highly unlikely that it would be accepted into the article even if it was released under a suitable licence.
Finally, the same information was previously added by another account, User:MAXAARON1729. If this is also you (the appearance of the string 1729 makes this seem pretty likely) then you should be aware that operating multiple accounts is a blockable offence, especially when they are being used to add copyrighted, promotional material to a biographical page.

Abscence of copy rights violation for Ram Kishore Shukla

There is no evidence available which can establish a Copyright violation please check, I am restoring the article. It violated copyright as per revision done by user:Pharaoh of the Wizards "Remove text copied without ORTS persmisson from ]", which is appearing absent now, Please contribute Ballisticizer (talk) 12:12, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

See my note on the article's talkpage. Whether the Sharma article now appears online or not is irrelevent; the fact is, you did not write that text, and you have no evidence that the original author released it under an approriate licence. Unless a text is specifically released under CC-BY-SA or similar, we cannot copy from it. We cannot "assume" that something is free of copyright simply because there is no online version. I will be undoing your restoration of the text; unless you or another editor can demonstrate that it has been released by the author under a free licence, Misplaced Pages cannot legally host such content. Yunshui 雲‍水 12:19, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

B.D.Sharma is my grand father, i am his grand son Arunabh Sharma, top to bottom article has been rewritten totally in an entirely different tone. please permit to retain the article. I just gone through the website, it uses licenses from Creative Commons as Public domain, although as article text was rewritten entirely it does not do anything called Copyright violation, Please consider --Ballisticizer (talk) 12:25, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

What is the actual licence under which your grandfather released the content? There are a number of Creative Commons licences, and not all are suitable for use on Misplaced Pages. Yunshui 雲‍水 12:27, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

I do not remember actually sir, but it was CC free for any use internationally, this is india if we were as fluent as you what will be the problem, In the end i am telling this article is about my maternal grand father and my grand father helped me to write it, it is not that complex you are thinking, please respect my labour i have spent months on this article, i beg of you, Thank you --Ballisticizer (talk) 12:34, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate that you've put a lot of work into this article. It's perhaps possible that the text is usable; I'm going to start a thread at Misplaced Pages talk:Copyright problems so that some other editors who have experience with copyright issues can weigh in.

Respected sir, grammar mistakes will be solved in 2-3 days with help of my friends. There was never a copyright sir, i only used Misplaced Pages text use it as a source nothing else, please do not kill me, i am dying here that my written article has no value please permit me to edit it on my text, free from grammar mistakes after 2-3 days, please sir i will do what ever you, once again there was NO ORIGINAL ONE, i used itself as a source of it. please pardon me, or send me to hell, but please allow me to edit on my way. I will be grate full til the end of my life. Ballisticizer (talk) 14:19, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

There's really no need to be so histrionic. If you don't like the amended version, continue to edit it. However, you don't own the article - once you save your work on Misplaced Pages it is immediately available for anyone else to reuse, alter or flat out delete if they want to. I and other users will continue to add to and amend the article to bring it closer to an encyclopedic standard; that's how Misplaced Pages works. Yunshui 雲‍水 20:20, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
Please do not say this sir, it is not like that, i was never that expert like you, it was just due to my sleepless night efforts i spent to write it (with full of errors), i will always have pleasure to have you as editor of that article, in fact it was you who taught me to, how to use books to use them in inline citation by
[REDACTED] This user used the Misplaced Pages Citation Tool for Google Books before it broke in July 2021.

from which i organised it more and more, how ever i got the point that the article was extended and untoned, due to all this i am unable to concentrate on my studies these days, i will return after several months, Good bye and thank you very much. --Ballisticizer (talk) 12:47, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Respected sir, once you told me that i am free to edit the article, look at the introduction paragraph, you have left unnecessary html symbols in para and infobox top, i am serious and responsible to edit it, i have already told you that, that document hosted at docstoc.com was copied by me to use it as a source, but when i learn't about copyright policies i removed it at once, please allow me to edit it, you are going to be an administrator now, congratulations, i am going to edit only the introduction para, non neutral tone is nowhere in it, i must had to mention why he was remained notable, it was because of his ideology and principles only, you added he held office continuously from 1951 - 2003 which later got tag by other user, i going to edit it please cooperate. --Alcides86 (talk) 09:24, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Labels such as "pre-eminent" and statements such as "Awarded several times for his constitutional and societal reforms," (without any source for such a claim, or any mention of such awards later in the article) are not neutral. There is also no need to claim in a biography that the subject is "notable because..."; the fact that the article is present and sourced is sufficient to attest to notability. However, that's pretty much irelevant give that the text you are inserting seems to be just about identical to your grandfather's essay, which, as we've established, has not been released under an appropriate license. You are also editing under multiple accounts, in violation of the policy regarding alternate accounts.
You have been given far more leeway over this than most editors ever are (operating more than one account usually leads directly to a block), whilst the conflict of interest, refusal to abide by policy after being made aware of it and, frankly, competence issues are also severely disruptive. Your response above indicates to me that you still do not seem to understand the situation; I will therefore be filing a report over my concerns at WP:ANI, and will notify you once it has been logged. Yunshui 雲‍水 09:55, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages is not favorable ground for people like us who did not know how to write an article, but you must understand my side also, as i am only here to edit this article nothing apart. please guide me or block me if you feel, but please understand my side also article got turned god knows what, initially by an user called Arthur Rubin, and later by my mistakes. Do what is right, i have faith in you, i am removing, some words like notable etc. --Alcides86 (talk) 10:05, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

You seem like a nice guy, and I feel like a heel for doing this to you, but the fact is your actions are disrupting both the individual article and the encyclopedia as a whole. Unless you can give assurances that your behaviour will change, that you will abide by Misplaced Pages policies and that you will only operate one account, I can't see that your tenure here is going to be a long one.

Thank you, that's very kind of you. However, I'm not entirely clear on the purpose of this cabal - is it countervandalism (in which case thanks, but the CVU pretty much has that covered), new page patrol, article feedback or something else? I'm also somewhat wary of any group on Misplaced Pages that requires special permissions as an entry requirement; it seems to me to go against the communal spirit of the overall project...

I see he's already requesting a username change.

Thanks for spotting this potential problem. Let's try to co-opt him into constructive editing without promoting his company. (A good number of our productive editors are initially drawn to Misplaced Pages to make some sort of non-neutral edit and then learn the way we really do things.) --A. B. 14:51, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Co-nomination

Hi Yunshui! Should I co-nominate you even if the RfA is not transcluded? ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ 10:23, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

You can't (or at least shouldn't!) co-nom after the transclusion, so yes, go ahead. I'm still waiting to hear back from one other person before I start the process, so there's still a few days left to put your nomination together. Thanks! Yunshui 雲‍水 10:27, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Images

Hi Yunshui, thank you very much for your very comprehensive instructions they were a great help. I was wondering if you could give me so more of this type of help regarding uploading and embedding images. I am trying to upload images to put into my article I have permission for this from owner and I have forwarded this to permissions wiki or whatever its called but having technical issues about uploading the images have resized them and they are jpegs so there shouldnt be any trouble on this front so can't understand why they are not being uploaded?(Jkidner (talk) 12:53, 20 July 2012 (UTC))

If the images have been released under an appropriate licence by the copyright holder (i.e. they've licenced the pictures for reuse and alteration under a CC-BY-SA or GFD licence) then you should be able to upload them to Wikimedia Commons. Start with the Commons Upload Wizard here and just follow the steps. The Wizard will automatically generate a code (it'll look a bit like this: {{File:Kidnerpicture.jpg|A picture of something}}) which you can copy and paste into your article to display the image. Let me know how you get on. Yunshui 雲‍水 13:03, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your response The images have the CC-BY-SA tag. Is this enough with the permission email? I am following all the steps and then it says image is being uploaded which seems to take an age and a half to upload. I never get any message to say that it has been uploaded.(Jkidner (talk) 13:36, 20 July 2012 (UTC))

If they're available under CC-BY-SA, they're fine; you don't need to worry about getting email permission from OTRS. Do you have a record of the filenames you were trying to upload the pictures under? If I know what you called them, I can have a look to see if they've uploaded or not. As far as I can see from your contributions, the answer's "not"... Yunshui 雲‍水 13:41, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi if you wouldn't mind having a look I would be very grateful. I have just tried to upload another image and again it saids image uploading for ages without a message to confirm it has uploaded safely. Thanks again for your time(Jkidner (talk) 15:26, 20 July 2012 (UTC))

Sorry the image I've just tried to upload is called Moving_Green.JPG(Jkidner (talk) 15:31, 20 July 2012 (UTC)) Hi Yunshui, Good news I've solved the problem it was a very slow and sporadic interntet connection. I am working at a different computer so it works (Jkidner (talk) 16:38, 20 July 2012 (UTC)) Hi again, sorry to keep pestering you but can I have just a little more help having now successfully embedded my images in my article is there any way I can align the images to the centre or the left rather than having them all on the right please?(Jkidner (talk) 17:10, 20 July 2012 (UTC))

Yep, just change ] to ], for example. Yunshui 雲‍水 19:27, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Your only edits to date have been to add links to the (now blacklisted) site http: //guide.slinky.me, which are not suitable under our external links policy. This suggests that your only purpose here is to promote slinky.me. Misplaced Pages is not a venue in which you can do this. Yunshui 雲‍水 09:20, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

CSD Log page

First, All the best for your RFA. I saw some one there mentioning about your CSD log page, after which I visited it. I have tagged a few CSDs, but I could not figure out how automatically log them into a page. Can you help me out... --Anbu121 (talk me) 10:12, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

If you use Twinkle, you can set your preferences to automatically record all your CSD tagging (tick the box marked "Keep a log in userspace of all CSD nominations"). Otherwise, the only way I can think to do it is to create a User:Anbu121/CSD log page and add to it manually each time you tag a page, I'm afraid. Yunshui 雲‍水 10:34, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Thank you, done. --Anbu121 (talk me) 10:42, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

My RFA Question

I like the answer - just a couple things (plus an answer to your question). There are elements of it which are true and bits which I've exaggerated. Yes the consensus bit on a BLP is correct (it was a very unknown person (would have been deleted for notability is someone took it to AFD)) and about 7 users had decided to use an unreferenced version (the verifiable truth wasn't the opposite but it was different to what the consensus was). The bit about the rollbacker is true they issued a 4im warning for something which should not have been reverted and wouldn't respond when the IP user asked them about it and wouldn't respond, then the IP put it back they reverted it again and didn't respond when I asked them about it.

hiyua,

i am not trying to resolve the dispute on ani i am trying to prove my inccocents becaus the ip users is clainming i have socket puppoet etc i am breaking rules i am trying to shows wiht the information i am not i am trying to reoslve it thorught eh proper means ie the next step is request for comment--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 12:43, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Andrew. Sorry, but that wall of text was never going to get read at ANI, which is why I hid it (it's still there; clicking the "Show" link at the end of the hatnote will reveal the hidden text if other readers do want to look through it). A Request for Comment, on the article talkpage, would be a much more sensible idea. I'd also suggest that you try breaking the issue down; deal with one thing at a time rather than trying to fix the whole problem with a single enormous dissertation.
If the IP user posts an SPI report against you then you can challenge it there, but random accusations of "you're a sockpuppet" are pretty common fare - just ignore it. If you comment at the ANI thread again, I would suggest that you simply explain what you want the administrators to do (block the IP, protect the article etc.) and leave it at that; most admins are more than capable of assessing a situation without you having to provide every source in the universe that supports your position.

Notable Alumni @ University of Colorado Denver

There was a reason why I reverted it and I feel that the notable alumni list is not necessary. At first, it was just displaying the one person who he made an entire article full of accuasations but he's adding more alumnus to get away with his change. I was following Misplaced Pages:Notable alumni as a guideline even though it is inactive and these people are not significant to make any contribution to the article at hand. I need your opinion regarding this. ViriiK (talk) 07:45, 25 July 2012 (UTC) Also, I'm going by WP:NLIST as well to guide this. But I'm just going to end up getting reverted anyways which will result in an edit war. ViriiK (talk) 07:50, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi ViriiK. I've trimmed the list still further, limiting it only to individuals who are notable enough to have their own article already. Per WP:Source list, list entries need to meet the notability guidelines, and the simplest way to confirm that is to ensure that the people listed already have an article about them. In a couple of cases, I may have been overly severe in my pruning (one or two names on there may actually pass the notability requirements but simply haven't been written about yet); if that's so we can create pages for them and add them back in.

Gold Peak

Hi Yunshui,

Since the information of Gold Peak, GP Batteries Int'l Ltd and GP Industries Ltd is outdated, we therefore update the information and add back the corresponding external links. Please review again and do not revert my information on Gold Peak. Thanks.

Capasserby (talk) 08:59, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Your addition was self-evident spam; statements such as, "GP Batteries supplies an extensive range," "Its extensive array of products," "innovative battery technology" are promotional and utterly inappropriate in an encylcopedia. You also added a direct link to the company's online shop in the article text, which is contrary to Misplaced Pages's guideline for external links. In addition, it appears from your response that you work for the company, meaning that you have a clear conflict of interest. The text is also a very close paraphrase of this site, and is hence a copyright violation. Please do not add your PR piece back into the article again. Yunshui 雲‍水 09:07, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui,

How about if I move away those words with promotional effects? Since the information contained in the profile now is totally outdated, we should provide up to date and accurate information in an encyclopedia. Please note.

Capasserby (talk) 09:41, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

If you can rephrase the information in non-promotional terms then there's no problem - you could even theoretically use the website as a source for the information, if you cited it correctly. Why don't you post the proposed revision here or at the article's talkpage first, and we'll see what we can do. Yunshui 雲‍水 09:43, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui, Please help have a look and review at the proposed version with factual statements below:

GP Batteries International Limited

GP Batteries is engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of batteries and battery-related products. GP Batteries supplies battery products to original equipment manufacturers, leading battery companies as well as consumer retail markets under GP brand name. Its products include primary batteries (alkaline, carbon-zinc, lithium, silver oxide), rechargeable batteries (nickel metal hydride, lithium-ion and lithium polymer) and chargers. GP Batteries also produces batteries for electric vehicles like Vectrix scooters, and emergency starter batteries using thin metal film lead acid technology. GP ReCyko+ is the new generation nickel metal hydride battery equipped with the latest battery technology. It can be recharged and reused up to 1,000 times, equivalent to 1,000 pieces of alkaline batteries.

GP Industries Limited

GP Industries is mainly engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of electronics and acoustics products, like KEF consumer speakers and Celestion professional speaker drivers, and automotive wire harness.

GP Industries also holds a 100% interest in GP Industries Marketing Limited, which is engaged in the marketing and trading of parts and components, and personal hygiene and health care products.

Definitely an improvement, but product lists are still regarded as somewhat spammy. Given the actual information there, I think all of the above could be mereged into a single section. I'd suggest trimming it to something like this:

Holdings

Gold Peak operate a number of subsidiary companies. GP Batteries is a manufacturer and distributor of batteries for the commercial and retail sector. Their range includes electric vehicle and rechargable nickel-hybrid batteries. GP Industries develops, manufactures and distributes electronic and acoustic products, and holds a controlling interest in GP Industries Marketing Ltd, the organisation's marketing arm.

Hi 25¢. I'm flattered that you would continue to request my feedback on this, but do be aware that peer review is not intended to get an article to any particular status, and badgering contributors for more reviews is somewhat futile. I've offered my opinions on the article, and I'm glad to see that you've acted on them; I'd also like to congratulate you on doing so much work to improve it. However, if you want to get it to Good Article status, then I'd suggest you make a request for GA review, rather than trying to iron out every issue at the peer review stage. That way, you can directly address the measures required to pass the Good Article criteria, rather than dealing with everything that anybody thinks needs doing.
