About TPG

If you wanna know about the template, Terrible Posture Games is an independent game company founded in 2014 and known for making Tower of Guns, Mothergunship, 3 out of 10, and Invincible Presents: Atom Eve. Waxworker made a category page out of those games and I managed to fill in 3 out of 10 due to Story Kitchen making a TV series out of it. 107.77.198.6 (talk) 23:27, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Then link it in the header of the template. I am still unsure that it is required. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 06:10, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

DAVID WICHT

Thank you for your review on my DAVID WICHT article. I am not sure how to move the article into FILMMAKER from where it is. Could you guide me on how to do this? Karinvanderlaag (talk) 08:43, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

@Karinvanderlaag No. You are paid to understand everything here. This is a volunteer project where paid editors are tolerated, not tutored. Please learn your trade and read and understand what people say. Please also read WP:CIR 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 08:48, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Tim

Would you be prepared to write these articles for Film Afrika and David Wicht then?

I have been trying to learn this system for 2 years so I clearly do not make the mark.

This is not a sarcastic question. I just think that Film Afrika and David Wicht are worth Wikipedia articles. I have a Wikipedia article which appeared without my knowledge and I have done much less than Film Afrika, the company and David Wicht the individual, so I am happy to hand these projects over to anyone at Wikipedia who deems them worthy enough to take on.

Kind Regards

(talk page stalker) You are clearly having a laugh! You are getting paid to write these articles and you are seriously suggesting that someone else does the work for you! Theroadislong (talk) 09:08, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

@Theroadislong I asked Open AI to rephrase "They are taking the piss" somewhat more politely, bit it was too polite. I think I can do better with "They are misappropriating the micturatiion" 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 09:14, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

You do not deserve a response. I am trying to learn a skill. Clearly you enjoy trying to humiliate those asking for help. I do believe you don't know everything Mr The road is long and one day when you ask for help, I hope you will not be met with lousy puns and schoolboy humour. Karinvanderlaag (talk) 09:37, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

My request from Mr Trent was genuine.

I clearly do not know how to do this. I can admit what I do and don't know. I know what I am and am not good at. No skin off my nose. Perhaps you two could recommend a writer that I could recommend to people who would like a Wikipedia page or is that also a deadly secret? Karinvanderlaag (talk) 09:41, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

What i am asking by the way, Mr oh so important editor, is how an article gets written on wikipedia if not by one of you smug guys, because clearly getting paid is the last route to take... and even those who claim to be wikipedia writers on the web admit they need an insider. Is that this kabal? Karinvanderlaag (talk) 09:39, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

@Karinvanderlaag NO. I have never written and will never write any article for pay. And those I will not write free.

Please explain "I have a Wikipedia article which appeared without my knowledge " No need. I have found it. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 09:09, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

How did this happen then Tim Trent? Who wrote my article? I don't appreciate the sarcasm. I am trying to learn a skill. Not an arch attitude. Karinvanderlaag (talk) 09:35, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

@Karinvanderlaag THe article creator is list in the history tab. There is no sarcasm here, Instead there is bwidermebnt at ther fact that the article states that you have a degree in English and Drama, and you appear unable to understand written English.

I am humiliating no-one. You are now a huge time sink. You are paid to understand how wikipedia works. Please earn your pay. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 09:40, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

bewilderment is spelt like that Karinvanderlaag (talk) 09:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

I didn't sign up for a mud slinging match.

I am asking for your advice.

Do you have any advice on writers I could suggest or not? Karinvanderlaag (talk) 09:43, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

NIILM University

How fix that Issue? Wiki-CBO (talk) 17:33, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

@Wiki-CBO Find references as follows:

We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.

The article is vulnerable to deletion as it stands at present 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:37, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes,

I will update news on it Wiki-CBO (talk) 17:39, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

@Wiki-CBO Expanding this, assuming you can prove notability, will be a good exercise to do, an interesting one. Take the time you need and work carefully, please. There is no deadline. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:41, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Great,

Karen Oppenheim Mason

Thank you for your comments on my article on Karen Oppenheim Mason. She was president of the Population Association of America in 1997, and therefore meets notability criterion #6 for academics. I can add a link to the PAA website showing this, and I can also add dois to her citations. What other documentation is required? Eklanche (talk) 20:54, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

@Eklanche Yes, she likely meets it, but you have to prove with references that she meets it. For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 20:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

@Timtrent I added some more information and references, and added DOIs for her citations. I have resubmitted it and hope it will pass review this time. Eklanche (talk) 15:30, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

@Eklanche I hope it will too. Another reviewer will review it. I almost never review more than once 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:31, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello a gazillion years later

I saw your reverts on the Fairfax High School article and I realized it's been around 8 years since our paths last crossed. I have had that article on my watch list since I first figured out what a watch list is; it's in my neighborhood and it's legendary for its alumni. (I live in the the Fairfax District.) Anyway. Hello! I hope you are well. Julie JSFarman (talk) 01:29, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

@JSFarman What a lovely blast from the past. I found the school when following the odd edits from an editor who was "careless" in their editing! 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 06:45, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Careless! Lol. You have always been much nicer than me.  :) JSFarman (talk) 07:19, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

@JSFarman I doubt it. But I express it with militant politeness. See below. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 07:23, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I removed some turbocharged hype from the Will Tanous article and left an edit summary that said "...one should not throw up in one's mouth when reading Wikipedia articles." I win! JSFarman (talk) 07:43, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

@JSFarmann You have the Tao of snark 😈 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:23, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Karin van der Laag deletion of page

Hi Tim

I can send you my CV. I have been in many significant international films and television series, that the bot or whoever wrote my Wikipedia article did not include.

Again, I am asking who wrote it in the first place, before I had a chance to work on it and make it better? You have not answered this question.

It appeared one day out of nowhere as I have said before.

I have never paid any publicist to put any article of me anywhere. If you were familiar with what actors get paid in South Africa you would understand this.

I find the timing of the deletion of my page suspect.

I will be reporting this.

Why is my page suddenly attacked because you are angry at my "tone" or whatever has offended you about me and the David Wicht article.

Please be transparent.

I have looked at the deletion page and it looks like a bunch of vultures laughing up their sleeves enjoying putting someone down.

I contest this deletion.

Who put it up in the first place.

Karinvanderlaag (talk) 11:32, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Karinvanderlaag: why does it matter who "put it up"? And why are you grilling Timtrent about this, as if he is somehow accountable for that article's provenance?

But since you ask, it was created in November 2020 by Gihan Jayaweera, who has subsequently been blocked indefinitely. I don't know if other versions have been created before or since, but that is the one that was deleted following a recent Articles for Deletion discussion.

HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:41, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

It matters who put it up because it seems that putting an article up is impossible without the help of one of you guys but taking it down seems to happen in an instant is someone like Tim Trent gets angry with you meaning me. So spitefully removes my page because I called him out on his tone towards me about David's page. That, dear DoubleGrazing is why it matters Karinvanderlaag (talk) 12:51, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

@Karinvanderlaag No, thank you. Do not send me anything.

I saw it, I saw that, as presented, you do not pass any of our notability criteria, and I nominated if for deletion. Others discussed it and agreed. This it was deleted.

I am about to warn you formally against incivility on your user talk page.

Do not ever post on my talk page again. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Timtrent

I added information to the article based on the information requested. Would you be able to take a look? Draft:Robert W. Amler

Jrodriguezrentas (talk) 17:27, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

@Jrodriguezrentas I am mystified. I said I looked at it. I have seen that it has been rejected and thus will not proceed further. You may query this with the reviewer who rejected it. and you appear to have misunderstood that as encouragement to edit it further. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:52, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Sock

User:ChineseDognut is just another sock puppet of User:Tochi Clement, seeing the Johnel page history. The subject has prevented been vandalising the article. A checkuser tool should prove this! 102.89.23.163 (talk) 16:25, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

See here. A new user User:ChineseDognut, out of the blue, nominating an article he previously vandalising for speedy deletion. 102.89.23.223 (talk) 16:28, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Will do. Thank you for understanding. Also, if you go to the sock puppet investigation page of User:Tochi Clement you'll also notice that this is the exact same claim User:ChineseDognut makes of the article. 102.89.23.223 (talk) 16:32, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

I have suggested that the two investigations be linked, as you will see. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:33, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

How am I a sockpuppet, I have edited only on one draft Draft:Muyeez, I've spent days learning about wikipedia policy and how to make new articles. I'm not the one that banned TheChineseGroundnut, I was editing Muyeez draft and learning from everywhere I could, then I found out that TheChineseGroundnut has been banned and Adambenji is a sockpuppet to the user and Johnel was created by Adambenji, review and approved by the same person TheChineseGroundnut. I'm only doing what every wikipedia editor would do. 中国人 狗坚果 (talk) 16:52, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Because you've used several scope like this (starting a total different topic to cover up and use it as a point to defend yourself) and later on, get caught. A checkuser will look Into it and most definitely, you would be blocked. It's so obvious that you're another sock! 102.89.23.215 (talk) 16:55, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

You're only angry because a newbie on wikipedia caught your act and reported you. 中国人 狗坚果 (talk) 17:20, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Either you are or you are not. That is what the investigation will determine. Me? I don't care either way. I think you are, so I started the investigation. Others will judge. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:56, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Help to make my article better

Hello Fiddle,

Thank you so much for giving comments on my article. I was kindly requesting you to help me edit my article Draft: Nicholas Omonuk as I have received 3 past declines and I have always made edits but I dont know exactly which areas I go wrong. Could you assist me in this area. Clare Nassanga (talk) 23:21, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Nicholas Omonuk is the article Clare Nassanga (talk) 23:23, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

@Clare Nassanga I will assist, but not in the way you expect. I will teach you to fish rather than give you some fish.

The article needs rewriting. The existing text is the wrong place to start.

Please start by reading this essay and pay special attention to the process. Start with references.Do not wrote a single word until you have looked at the references. Do they show that he passes WP:BIO? if they do, yhen create a storyboard from what you select from them to say. Then, using 100% of your own words, write the article.

If they do not show he passes, abandon the project until he does things that others write about with significant coverage in multi independent secondary sources and then write the article 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 06:15, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Maratha Confederacy

Thank you for calling our attention to the edit-warring report. I thought briefly of closing the DRN case, which is what is done if there is also a dispute at WP:ANI, but then I realized that sometimes at WP:ANEW the edit-warriors may be told to request mediation at DRN. So I will just wait and see what happens next, either another post by an involved editor, or an uninvolved admin action. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon I feel in my water that the ANEW report was filed maliciously as part of the dispute. I do not see much good faith exhibited by those in dispute. I think your approach to be sound, though DRN is an area I have never become involved in. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:44, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

The other editors have not replied, even though you told one of them that it would be polite to advise the DRN people whether they were going to participate. Now I will close the DRN report as ignored. Somebody may get blocked unless they go off and edit in other articles. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:50, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon Not that you need my agreement, but I agree. They are none of them well behaved, I think. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 06:49, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
