thread_title:  Break petition out of lead 

message: , I saw your edit removing Fair Vote Canada's twitter account.  I do not see anything in WP:UGC or WP:ELNO which prohibits linking to a topics' own twitter account.  WP:ELNO reads:
::Except for a link to an official page of the article's subject, one should generally avoid providing external links...
This Twitter account is an official one.  It is linked to from the organizations' offical website.  I do not see anything that requires Twitter "verified" status to include the account here.  That is Twitter's rule not ours.  As I noted in my edit, Twitter has put on hold the "verified" program for some time.  If organizations or persons wish to become verified their is no avenue for them to currently do so.  I think you are taking a pretty strict interpretation here, and not one that is supported by the policies you are referencing.  Is there something I have missed in our policies on this?  Thanks.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 01:33, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: . Yep, WP:ELOFFICIAL suggests to me that we can include this as an official account.  Am I missing something?--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 01:48, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The  is the official page. The Twitter  could (conceivably) be run by anyone. WP:TWITTER: point 4. Which translates into: verified accounts only. If Twitter has suspended their verification program, that is awkward but it doesn't mean we just include the account. I think it's safer to err on the side of caution. —Joeyconnick (talk) 02:20, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess, it could be run by anyone... except the fact that their official website links to it suggests that is not the case.  I am not sure there is "reasonable doubt" about whether it is official.  If it isn't, someone has also taken over their website.  It is not a hill I am going to die on, but I think insisting on "verified" status is not going to be a good policy.  It seems the verified program has been "on hold" since about July 2018. .  I don't see anything indicating when it will be back up and running.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 02:41, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Is Fair Vote Canada affiliated with FairVote USA in any way?  Given that the two organizations have very similar names and goals, it would be useful to find a citable source (e.g. a public statement from either organization, or perhaps a video from an event that the directors of the respective organizations were both on a panel for, where they describe the relationship between the organization).

Template talk:Userfied

message: I really think this template has a rather harsh tone. It certainly doesn't appear to assume good faith, and has as much a feel of a reprimand and a "we don't trust you" as anything I've seen in template space. It's my feeling that most bio pages appear in articlespace because the creators are new and unaware that they have a userspace (easy to tell if the page title and their login name are the same), and would not trouble articlespace with their bios if they knew where to put them. I prefer a much gentler initial approach (there's always time to bring out the guns and knives later). This is the boilerplate I use when I find a bio obviously written by the person it's about: "If you want to include information about yourself on Wikipedia, the best place to do it is on your user page, which can be found here. Otherwise it will likely be deleted. On your user page, though, you are free to share as much or as little as you want about yourself. Please feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions. ~~~~" Not only does this present the message kindly, it also offers a direct link to their userspace. Denni talk 01:43, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Tone

message: This seems to be two completely different warnings mashed into one.
The first warning is a warning about a non-suitable Wikipedia article, where the editor moves the text to a user subpage instead of nominating it for deletion.  If moving a page to a user subpage and speaking with the user first is an accepted practice, then it seems that we should split this into a warning that's separate from part two, and that contains links to afd.
This warning mentions deletion, but doesn't explain the process and it should, especially if it's a new user who has created the article.  I'm not sure that a template is needed for this, but I like it.  It seems like a nice alternative to throwing a new user into the deletion process head first.
The second part of the template addresses users having inappropriate information on their talk pages, and it seems to me to be a well written warning.  But these two warnings really shouldn't be together on the same template.  Opinions? TStein 06:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

The route map is not accurate.  Whitehorse is in the wrong location!

thread_title: A photograph

message: Why was he famous and why was he working in Hut 6. The article seem to miss this. The reason he was famous, was that he discovered the most important and primary weakness in the Enigma machine, which was lack of fixed points (letters encrypting to themselves) due to the reflector. Turing and several German Enigma testers of the Enigma including  Gisbert Hasenjaeger missed this important weakness. This discovery enabled him to decode 10k's of messages, and is a singular achievement in mathematics and cryptography.   scope_creep (talk)  17:12, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.   The reason he was (or at least later became) famous needs to be included in a position of greater prominence - presumably in a second mini-para in the intro section.   My problem - and I don't think I'm so very much more dumb than your average wiki-reader - is that I don't understand in sufficient (for my own satisfaction, at least) detail what you are writing about.

Talk:Einstein's Special Theory Of Relativity

message: This doesn't read like an encyclopedia entry. The (home-made?) diagrams don't fit the Wikipedia style/format. The article is unnecessary unless it is to be annexed to the similar existing articles on this subject.
I put this article together from a PowerPoint presentation, since my ‘encyclopaedia’ entry was removed due to an accusation of plagiarism. I had copied it from a previous article I had written myself. [Guilty as charged but although I gave myself permission to use it, this was still not enough to resolve the issue] This article is meant to be a brief alternative introduction, which may be of benefit to the neophyte, rather than being aimed at those who are already knowledgeable in the subject. The diagrams are “home made” to avoid any further plagiarism dispute and I feel that they unfortunately need to be that size, since some of the original PowerPoint text would otherwise not be clear enough.  89.240.95.93 16:39, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the below. It's vandalism and rather ludicrous in tone and content.
In 1993, Bogar Reyes (Serbian Cyrillic Богар Рейес), a Mexican inventor, electrical engineer and physicist started working in the Orangutan Friendship fields before emigrating to 'Murica. He soon struck out on his own with financial backers, setting up laboratories and companies to develop a range of electrical orangutan-frienship-thingy trigger. That's how Clyde was born.
Bogar Reyes' achievements and his abilities as a showman demonstrating his seemingly miraculous discoveries and inventions made him world famous, along with Clyde of course. Clyde is basically every orangutan in the world; however, what Bogar Reyes discovered is that they all can be true friends (not to mention how easy it is to get laid after people sees you have an orangutan friend). Right after a Clyde's friendship is triggered, he'd ask for a high five and a milkshake. His name is non-negotiable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.65.229.26 (talk) 00:15, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:IT Strategy

message: I am a little confused about the circular arguments being presented for this article. 
I had posted this without any reference to CioIndex or any links to the site. Someone deleted it because it was a "potential copyright violation" and suggested that I provide reference to the source. 
Subsequently, I posted the article arrtibuting the definition to the source - and links to - CioIndex which I believe has a very good definition of the term and process. Now, it appears I have committed "thinly veiled advertising and link spam". 
I am not sure if I agree with either characterization. So I am deleting the template till someone can elaborate on their objection.
I am in support of the spirit of the comments. However, they need to be elaborated. There a links all over wikipedia. These links point to commercial sources. How is one link "thinly veiled advertising" and another "legitimate source"?

Talk:Yukio Aoshima

message: Yukio was a famous politician however his political party was not majorities' one , consequently Yukio's participation to the cabinet was not found and sometimes hie political activities were beyond our understandings.
Foreign researchers , including the researchers of Japanese political decision procedures , are expecting Yukio's political tactics or strategic behaviors . They are also seeking Yukio's excellent political talents.
I guess , Yukio had no evil and therefore his political tactics were not found . The Japanese populism had driven Yukio's winning at the election in 1995.
In Japan , most of the representatives , councillors , local government governor (prefecture)
have their careers as public officers.
To our regret , the splendid talent ( Novelist , artist ...) will be refused in political circle and political decision.
