This is a Wikipedia user talk page.
This is not an encyclopedia article or the talk page for an encyclopedia article. If you find this page on any site other than Wikipedia, you are viewing a mirror site.

Please read before posting

Post all new sections under a new header at the bottom of this page, not at random. If you make it clear you ignored these instructions by placing it elsewhere, I am likely to ignore your request in turn.

If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond (a ping will also suffice), it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
No lulztxtspk or emojis on my talk page, please. "You" is spelled "you", "though" is spelled "though", "because" is spelled "because", "people" is spelled "people", and so on. There is no character limit on Wikipedia comments, so there is no need whatsoever for ad-hoc abbreviating. If you don't even take yourself seriously, don't expect me to take you seriously either.
If you are an admin here to ask me about someone I blocked for vandalism or spamming/advertising, they've agreed to stop it, and you believe they intend to edit productively, go ahead and unblock them. If you still want my opinion please feel free to ask, but there's no obligation. For more complex cases I would appreciate a heads-up, but please go ahead with your best judgment if I don't seem to be online. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know after you do.
If you are here to discuss edits made to an article, please use the article talk page, not this talk page, to discuss them. If I made the edit and the question is specifically directed at me, you are welcome to ping me.
If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing, though I still may respond on your talk page rather than by return email.

Deleted page - InMerge Innovation Summit

Dear, Seraphimblade. First of all, I want to mention that I do not and will not receive any compensation for my article. Secondly, I reviewed very carefully my article again and didn't find anything related to spam or advertising. InMerge is an important innovation event for the region and Azerbaijan. It is the first such huge initiative in the Azerbaijan, and it is organized annually since 2022. As I mentioned in the article, lots of notable business people, investors, like Steve Wozniak, J. B. Straubel participate in the event. It is not just the product of one organization or company.

I do not breach neutrality rule. In the article, I just described events which were happened during the summits. I also cited numerous references as sources.

I have been editing in the Azerbaijani Wikipedia for years. I do not usually create articles in English Wikipedia, but I am always ready to get feedbacks. Please help me improve the article so that it can be generated again. Əhməd Qurbanov (talk) 11:56, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Əhməd Qurbanov, I do not know what the Azerbaijani Wikipedia's policies are, but the English Wikipedia does not permit promotional material, and that includes any kind of "talking up". As some examples, but by no means an exhaustive list: The summit aims to... (we don't care what it "aims" to, we care what reliable and independent sources confirm it has done), with participation from influential businessmen ("influential" is puffery, don't editorialize that they are "influential"), It fosters dynamic discussions on cutting-edge innovations and offers valuable insights (same here, "dynamic", "cutting-edge", "valuable", etc., are all the same kind of puffery and editorializing), and the rest is essentially "About Us" kind of junk. Articles should present what reliable and independent sources verify in a strictly neutral way, without any kind of "talking up". Since you kept inappropriately recreating the article in mainspace, I protected the title against recreation, but you can see if you can fix the draft to stick to reliable and independent sources and write it neutrally, and then request review by articles for creation. If AfC accepts the draft, I will unprotect the title. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 12:12, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear, Seraphimblade. I edited very carefully, and removed all the points which can breach rules. Please, if you can review within the Articles for creation, assist me. Əhməd Qurbanov (talk) 17:55, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have submitted the draft for AfC review. You will need to wait for that to be reviewed in the normal course. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 17:57, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give any feedbacks? Əhməd Qurbanov (talk) 17:59, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reviewer will do that. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 18:05, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editor abusing their second chance

I noticed that User:Nonameprivate triggered our new spam blacklist against two different sites, techbullion and techannouncer which were blacklisted by Kuru as part of a related spam ring. I then saw that Nonameprivate added a superfluous reference to a similarly dodgy site here, which I promptly removed. I was just going to give Nonameprivate a "unreliable source" warning until I saw that they'd be recently blocked for suspected undisclosed WP:PAID activity; given that, I'm inclined to reblock them, but I wanted to get your opinion first. User:Kuru, are you able to determine if verifiednews24.com is part of the same spam ring? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:03, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is ridiculous, it seems absolutely everything has an allegation of WP:PAID even if it isn't.

I've never seen the "new black list" and have never been aware of them even being on a black list or even considered as "spam". Nonameprivate (talk) 00:07, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ohnoitsjamie, straight from article spamming to link/ref spamming? Certainly no problem from me with reblocking. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 00:33, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thank you! OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:52, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the record; the techbullion nest of blacklisted domains is for an SEO group called the Rich Media Network Ltd. The "verifiednews24" domain belongs to another nest that I have not run across before, but seems to be run by "PRfire". Both SEO firms are London-based. Will have to poke around some more, but certainly bad faith sourcing again. Sam Kuru (talk) 02:12, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
