Connected contributor[edit]

Robert Rowlkey (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) self-identified as "webmaster and Vice President" of Tucson Pride in his upload description of File:TucsonPrideLogoLargeNew 7.jpg. Is there any reason this editor should not be deemed a connected contributor or should not be deemed to have a conflict of interest due to his position? —C.Fred (talk) 20:04, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since he's requesting deletion and has threatened to have a meatpuppet recreate the article, I'm escalating this WP:OWN issue to WP:COIN. —C.Fred (talk) 20:16, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you so against the LGBT community Fred? Why this harassment? Have you pulled this same crap with San Diego, Long Beach or San Francisco Pride? I WILL be making this a public media issue and have screencaps of all this. If you can discriminate against the LGBT communty here on Wikipedia then I think the public deserves to know it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert Rowlkey (talk • contribs) 20:20, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Robert Rowlkey: There was nothing in C. Fred's actions that should be deemed as harassment. You are, by your own admission, connected to this organization, so the "connected contributor" tag on the article was appropriate. It didn't mean that the article was facing deletion; only that other editors would recognize that the article might not represent a wide enough viewpoint of the organization and some scrutiny might be paid to it. Such scrutiny can only improve an article (although not necessarily in the eyes of the connected contributor). WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 20:25, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

After reading over the page, the event and group does seem to meet WP:GNG for an article here. I restored the page itself, as it does read from a neutral POV, and is well sourced. If there's a concern over a COI, that needs to be taken up at the COI noticeboard. Wildthing61476 (talk) 20:27, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Your actions deeply appreciated and highly professional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert Rowlkey (talk • contribs) 20:30, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copy-paste?[edit]

Not sure if this material is copyrighted, the notice is obscure on the websites page. Thought I would bring this up because it was not in the previous section.

TheCaliforniaKansan, it would be helpful if you told us from where precisely this was copied. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 06:09, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know that I didn't include the url: [[1]]. -TheCaliforniaKansan (talk) 06:49, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yup....it's unambiguously off limits for us, so I removed it. Will remove your tag next edit. John from Idegon (talk) 07:05, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@John from Idegon: it appears that the user has re-pasted the previously deleted content that was copied from http://tucsonpride.org/history.html. Not entirely sure what steps ought to be taken. -TheCaliforniaKansan (talk) 19:47, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I'd remove it again and report him at the already open thread at WP:ANI. I'll report it of you like. He doesn't need another target for his personal attacks. John from Idegon (talk) 20:05, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
