I rarely get involved in content disputes and even more rarely when they involve political figures like Keith Self. I think I stumbled onto it because of some vandalism to the article, and then I started editing the article, mainly to improve the wording and a little removal of unsourced material. Anyway, {{noping|Azyn}} was arguing over the inclusion of a couple of sections, at first because he said they didn't belong in a particular section of the article. That narrow objection was reasonable, but removing noteworthy, well-sourced material was not the solution. Another editor moved them to a different section, and Azyn objected again. My one comment you can see on the article Talk page, but Azyn was having none of it and insisted on their removal (they are no longer in the article as I write this). I warned Azyn for 3RR, but also felt that I couldn't revert him myself. So, I stopped participating in the discussion and stopped editing the article. Could you take a look when you have some time to spare from your more arcane interests?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:58, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

• Yes. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 17:26, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
• Not sure why you're thanking me, but I'll take it. On the article Talk page, you called Azyn Keith Self. You might want to fix it. And thank you.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:31, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
• I'm thanking you for your dedication in maintaining the integrity of our beautiful project. Drmies (talk) 18:33, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

• Sheesh Floq I'm sorry, and thank you. BTW I wonder if that's a jokey Dutch reference: "azijn" = vinegar. Drmies (talk) 20:11, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Hey, sorry, I dropped a comment after yours on the protection page but it was immediately clerked... I meant to ask, what exactly is AAIV? I've been here for ages, but the majority of my edits are gnomish, and I rarely engage formal mechanisms, so my familiarity is weak, to say the least. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 23:06, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

• Sorry, Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. One A too many. The problem here was that I think your first revert had an explanation ("vandalism") but later ones didn't, so I actually looked at you as edit-warring already. I blocked them because they removed sourced information, and then I looked at yours to see if you were playing by the rules--basically, explaining that it was vandalism. You can make your case stronger if you warn them, and that will also mean action will be taken quicker. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 23:09, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
• Thanks very much. I completely blanked on it being a 3RR issue, which it was, geez. I'll check out AIV. The problem from my perspective is that it was borderline as vandalism - if you go back further in the page history, you'll see I was originally using the 'reverted good faith edit' via UltraViolet, and including my rationale. Only a single time did this editor (I believe it's only one, even though across many different IP addresses) actually leave an edit summary, claiming "Unnecessary political obtuseness, image and text is repeated in historical sections below. It is redundant to have the information appear repeatedly.", which is false. And my sense of time is broken, it began barely a week ago, lol. Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 23:23, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick review of Draft:Harvey Najim. I saw that you removed the section mentioning his daughters. What was the issue with this source? You also mentioned problems with the other sources, which are unclear to me. Do you mean to say that there are not enough quality sources and the subject is not notable? What qualifies as an acceptable secondary source? Doughbo (talk) 20:39, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

• The one secondary source is [https://news4sanantonio.com/news/local/san-antonio-philanthropist-donates-seven-figures-to-fight-student-hunger-at-utsa this], and it's local. The rest are primary, one way or another, or not exactly secondary sources: [https://sanantonioreport.org/harvey-najim-foundation-future/ this is something], but it's not a news organization, and it's still local. The daughters--that's a company link, and BLP info needs good sourcing. I don't know if the subject is notable or not, but what I can say is that the sources you have now don't prove notability for our purposes. And yeah, the lead: it needs to be concise and focus on notability, so talking about military service in the lead is just not helpful. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 21:23, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
• Thanks very much for your reply. I'll get to work on improving some of these issues. Doughbo (talk) 19:18, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
• Doughbo--encyclopedic biographies here are chronological. Flip it around, following the example of other decent articles here. Drmies (talk) 22:09, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Hey Drmies, how have you been? I noticed that [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Zenevisi_family#Requested_move_29_November_2022 an RM on Zenevisi family] in 2022 was closed as "moved", but then the closer did not move it. They are not active, so asking them seems to not be of help. Can you take a look at it? Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:49, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

• The same thing happened with [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Kyle_J._White&diff=prev&oldid=1127348403 another RM] they closed a few minutes later that day. It seems that the script they were using was not working and did not perform the moves. Ktrimi991 (talk) 21:54, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
• You might want to have a look at John Zenevisi. Drmies (talk) 21:57, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
• Okay so there were a few Kyle Whites, but since there is no one who deserves the name more than any other, well you can see what I've done at Kyle White. Drmies (talk) 22:02, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
• Thank you, much appreciated. I will take a look at John and his family members; for some of them enwiki is using "Zenebishi" and for others "Zenevisi". If they were alive, I think they would complain to ARBCOM. :P Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:20, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
• Hmm I would wish them good luck with that. But yes, please, see if you can straighten that out if indeed, as that RM suggested, it needs straightening out. Drmies (talk) 13:18, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
• I will take a look at GB hits for each family member with an enwiki article, to determine the most common name in English for each of them. I suspect that in the case of John himself the most common form is "John Zenevisi", instead of "John Zenebishi" or "Gjon Zenebishi". This is not consistent with the name of the Zenebishi family article, but the most common name argument should prevail in each case. Ktrimi991 (talk) 23:33, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

The image File:Flag of the United States (Pantone).svg has been superseded and replaced by File:Flag of the United States.svg in most articles about the American flag, I am sorry for my vandalism, I thought it wasn't vandalism, as most other articles featuring the file replaced it the actual American flag.

• This is why we write edit summaries... Drmies (talk) 22:57, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
• Can you revert it back to the way I had it, since the Pantone file was superseded by the Actual American Flag. Djdjfjfjfnfn012 (talk) 23:01, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
• No, because I have no knowledge of this issue at all. You can do that yourself, with a proper explanation. If there is, for instance, a talk page consensus somewhere, you can point to that. Drmies (talk) 23:02, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi Drmies. IP 119.156.111.218 is back to doing what they were doing before you blocked them. Some of what they've been posting might also be a BLP violation since they seem to be mentioning court cases and the like. They also might have been using IP 39.63.41.87 to post similar stuff during March. -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:20, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

You reverted my edit and wrote in the edit summary: "Restored revision 1286081498 by Somajyoti (talk): Rv: overlinking, removal of reliable sources, insertion of unreliable ones."

But now, in the current version, there are four websites listed as references. The first reference works. The second one is a repetition of the first reference. The third reference leads to a 404 page. The fourth one goes to Britannica's Bangladesh page, which is irrelevant. Somajyoti ✉ 04:16, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

:You wrote, "removal of reliable sources, insertion of unreliable ones."

:But I did not remove any reliable sources, and I used sources from Banglapedia, the official encyclopedia of the Government of Bangladesh, and newspapers, which are the most reliable sources. Somajyoti ✉ 04:19, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
