User talk:Cabayi

Hello, I removed the COI template after checking content for neutrality etc., which you've re-added. Please could you recheck and inform of any issues with content on talk page? Or steps needed to remove the template. Many thanks for any help or advice. 194.74.185.34 (talk) 11:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you are Nick Jordan who has a history of editing the article about himself. I believe, and the COI policy states, you lack the objectivity to judge the article. There is no problem under policy with you starting a discussion on the article's talk page, but your continued interference and self-promotion is contrary to Wikipedia's neutrality policy.

Thanks for reply Cabayi. I'm not the subject of article, but was trying to help fix any flagged issues on their behalf. User @Jorbert30 has decalared COI on their userpage, and I understand their previous edits were an attempt to update dead links on citation references and reduce the content of article, but were rejected as copyright infringement/vandalism. Hence they tried repeatedly to fix the issue and were apparently blocked for a short period. Should either Jorbert30 or myself start subject on article's talk page and request clean up to resolve any issue? I believe the article meets neutrality guidelines, and all the citations appear legit. Many thanks for your time and any help. 194.74.185.34 (talk) 14:40, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) I agree with Cabayi that the article has issues with neutrality, and the sourcing is dodgy. Example: Jordan's work has been shown widely at international galleries, museums and film festivals. The word 'widely' a relative, subjective term, which is effectively WP:PUFFERY - it should be omitted. The source supporting that assertion is a piece written by the subject about himself on the website of an art project he's a member of. That is a primary, self-published source, and is entirely inappropriate for an assertion of that nature. If the rest of the article is anything like that sentence, it needs substantial pruning, and the tag is more than warranted. Girth Summit _(blether) 14:51, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback Girth Summit. If you're able to prune and edit anything that constitutes puffery or self-published source that would be much appreciated. Or should I put request on talk page. I'll have to look up code on how to do that, as this is all a new area to me! Any help by you or other editors appreciated. 194.74.185.34 (talk) 15:02, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do you do the little icons you have on your User Page like the little Wikipedia Admin logo for example? ReallyAmazingDude13 (talk) 04:01, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ReallyAmazingDude13. They're a bunch of templates called top icons. You can find them listed at Category:User top icon usergroup templates or in Template:User topicon. Happy editing. Cabayi (talk) 10:01, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
