Shaygan Kheradpir

Can't seem to draw sustained attention to the page from non-SPAs for the life of me. Do you have time to take a look here? I don't feel the sources directly support the material they are being used for. I have a COI of sorts. It would probably be accurate to say I just have a COI with the Juniper section. I posted an RfC more than a week ago, but it hasn't attracted a single comment from an un-involved editor with an established, diverse, non-SPA editing history.

I believe I have made all requested changes

RE: Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley wiki page

Hello!! - I have read a number of the links and articles - thank you very much! And some people kindly helped me add the necessary living bio info. But, it's still a bit confusing for me.

Can you please check this page again? I believe all subjective information has been removed, and everything else has been sourced - except when she herself provided information (always being interested, why she studies Hebrew, etc.).

Can you check again for me? Thank you! --Grmax1000 (talk) 17:40, 29 March 2015 (UTC) GRMax1000--Grmax1000 (talk) 17:40, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

M.H. Alshaya page

Hello,

I work in External Communications for M.H. Alshaya, and I'm trying to get our Wikipedia entry to be as factual and credible as possible. I see that you flagged the page as reading like an advertisement in 2013, and I'd like to remedy that! I have reworked the copy to try and be as neutral and factual as possible. What is the correct procedure to follow to get the material more compliant, and to have the "advertisement" flag removed? I would be most grateful for your input on this.

Regards, Peter

Didn't answer my question

Thank and I appreciate your caution regarding being too close to the subject. I will be objective with my edits. However the question I asked related to how I can revise/correct the title of the page. I could always initiate a new page under the new title but that seems wasteful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.56.208.223 (talk) 18:14, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

  The Civility Barnstar
Thank you! I was really impressed by the constructive and non-acrimonious tone and contributions from everyone involved in the recent AFD discussion on the Alliance of Women Directors article. What could have been—with the wrong editors involved—a very nasty debate, turned into a very positive discussion. Even editors who strongly felt that the article should be deleted worked hard to find sources and fix problems with it. This is the kind of positive collaboration people don't hear a lot about in Wikipedia-land and I'd like to recognize it. Carl Henderson (talk) 19:56, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
Much obliged.--ukexpat (talk) 20:04, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

COI related article nominated for deletion

Hi UK,

There is a new essay on the subject of COI that I recently nominated for deletion. There is a lot of back and forth going on as you might imagine, and I thought it might be helpful to ask some editors with a historical interest in the area to give their input.

Just to be clear, you are not being canvassed based on my perceptions of what your views are. I am asking for input from the top 10 contributors to the COI Noticeboard, expecting that some expertise and interest might be found here.

Thanks in advance for your input, if you feel able and willing to participate. Formerly 98 talk|contribs|COI statement 22:59, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

JPNSGRLS

Hi there,

You did an edit on my page for JPNSGRLS by removing Categories for Post-punk revival and Music of Canada because they red-linked as 'page does not exist'.

The thing is, both pages do exist and I don't understand why categories wouldn't pick it up.

Any ideas?

Corazon70Corazon70 (talk) 17:37, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Post-punk revival and Music of Canada exist as articles, hence they are blue links. But they do not exist as categories, hence they are redlinks.--ukexpat (talk) 18:10, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
