EliveLinux moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, EliveLinux, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, Triantares, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Thanatermesis (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. You may also declare it on your user page.

EditQwerty (talk) 20:59, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

@EditQwerty: To be clear I only have one account, this one. Others did help me out (in true FOSS manner) on my other submission (Elive), which we saw as a joint effort but eventually got so messy that I decided to do a fresh start on my own. Frankly I didn't know that submitting an article created a steward like accountability for edits done by others. :/

Triantares (talk) 06:06, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

@Triantares: I'm not accusing you of sockpuppetry: it just seems a bit fishy. If you do have any alternate accounts, please declare it on your user page as Wikipedia takes it very seriously. A CheckUser can see your IP address and check if the account is the same. EditQwerty (talk) 10:22, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

@EditQwerty:

No worry, there's only one account. thanatermesis (talk · contribs) is founder and sole developer of Elive and direct source of historic knowledge.

Concern regarding Draft:EliveLinux

Hello, Triantares. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:EliveLinux, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 04:02, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:EliveLinux

Hello, Triantares. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "EliveLinux".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:22, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Triantares. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Elive, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Would you like to declare a connection? -- Yae4 (talk) 12:47, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Well if using Elive as an OS and being a participant in their online community is considered a connection then yes, that would need a declaration. Personally I don't think it should.

This Elive community is so small that I am considered the 'go to' entity when it comes to writing (or correcting) English prose, that's all.

And if merely pointing to the existence of Elive on WP constitutes promotion or publicizing (which it always does IMO) then I'm most certainly guilty of that. IMHO anything to do with software (maybe even any fabricated product too) on WP always comes down to "the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything", whatever way you look at it.

IMO FOSS efforts in general do deserve a more lenient approach in such matters, than i.e proprietary commercial products. This naturally includes WP itself, so was actually kind of taken for granted by me.... but maybe I'm wrong there. Triantares (talk) 13:12, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

See: WP:NOTHERE and WP:MEAT. -- Yae4 (talk) 14:37, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

May 2023

Hi Triantares! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Elive several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Elive, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. FYI "Several times" is standard wording. I'm not counting, yet, but beware WP:3RR. --. Yae4 (talk) 14:18, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

I couldn't do an 'undo' as that would've changed a lot more, so I made the change with the reasons mentioned in the comment, knowing you would jump on it if you disagreed.

To be clear: I don't see the issue of 'self published' in External Links. In reality all those links are 'self published' by design. Triantares (talk) 14:49, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:EliveLinux

Userbox suggestion

​​​Triantares, Regarding your user page statements on WP:COI: A person once wrote,

"Be carefull about going around and adding [deleted] all over the place. Although it might feel like "as it should be", it will send WP moderators in a flurry if they get the impression you're abusing WP for PR (which in fact you are :shocked: )."

If one finds oneself thinking or saying similar things, or planning and coordinating efforts to make a project look better at Wikipedia or Distrowatch, or other places, then one certainly has a WP:COI on the topic, and should expect unconnected editors to observe the COI and resulting bias in articles. "Someone having a conflict of interest is a description of a situation, not a judgment about that person's opinions, integrity, or good faith. COI editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. It undermines public confidence..." Indeed, no one should have much confidence in most WP articles, partly because this type of biased editing behavior is widespread at WP. Anyway, why not simply use the {{UserboxCOI}} template for any projects, such as Elive, where you have a close connection? -- Yae4 (talk) 01:04, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
