Hi, I noticed that you added some designers for italian cars, they needs to be sourced and some of them also differs whats said on the main text, you cant also add new data to old referenced info. It would be good if you could find some sources for those additions--> Typ932 ^{T· C} 18:43, 8 February 2012 (UTC) reply

http://www.ajovalo.net/muotoilijat.htm

This is one of the sources, i'll start to cite all mine work, thanks

Is this a reliable source to identify a vehicle's designer, especially if it differs from the main text? Thanks, 72Dino ( talk) 17:32, 9 February 2012 (UTC) reply

There are few simillar or even identical sources, so i think it's quite reliable. There were some differences i agree. One more is: http://www.arcon.pl/press2006/wiadomosci/wiadomosci124.php

That ajovalo.net is finnish site (where I live) and it has other errors aswell, I would not keep it so reliable, for istance Alfa 166 is deisgned under Walter da Silva. I think we need to find better more reliable sources --> Typ932 ^{T· C} 18:01, 9 February 2012 (UTC) reply

On the wiki site of Walter de Silva AND Wolfgang Egger, both are listed as a designer of Alfa 166, probably the same as Alfa 147
"Among the cars developed by Alfa Romeo under his [Wolfgang Egger] direction were the Nuvola Concept, 156, 166, 147 and 8C Competizione.."
"The car was designed by Centro Stile Alfa Romeo under the control of Walter de'Silva, and was facelifted in 2003."

See http://archive.cardesignnews.com/news/2001/010530thisweek/index.html as Silva is the head of style centre he has the main responsibility of design. --> Typ932 ^{T· C} 18:07, 9 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Anyway we can list both, but I would change that ajovalo ref to others sources --> Typ932 ^{T· C} 18:09, 9 February 2012 (UTC) reply

de'Silva os a head designer till 2001, then Egger steps in
and the source is as good as the rest of simillar sources, just need some double checking, here and there, but mostly is ok

Found this on the 1966 Spider

09/1961–20/12/1963 Carrozzeria Pininfarina S.p.A., Grugliasco/TO (I)
(Chairman: Battista “Pinin” Farina, Director: Sergio Pininfarina; Design director: Franco Martinengo) from here
design director didn't change for 1966, so when duetto spider was designed, Franco Martinengo was the Design Director. And it does not exclude that Battista Pininfarina couldn't personally oversee the project.
also: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_Spider_%28Duetto%29

DAL 1952 AL 1972 CON FRANCESCO MARTINENGO,
http://www.educational.rai.it/lezionididesign/designers/PININFARINAS.htm

Yep good sources , better than that ajovalo site --> Typ932 ^{T· C} 05:54, 12 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Yes but they point to the same conclusion, just have to rewrite the ajovalo site, and look for bugs

from alfaromeopress.com
http://www.alfaromeopress.com/press/article/104

Come la possibilità di offrire un grande piacere di guida in ogni condizione. Complici le sospensioni anteriori a quadrilatero alto e quelle posteriori di tipo Mc Pherson a bracci asimmetrici, che garantiscono ad Alfa 156 quelle inimitabili doti di tenuta di strada e di maneggevolezza, da sempre tra le principali caratteristiche del Marchio.

?As the possibility of offering a great driving pleasure under all conditions. Complicit in the high double wishbone front suspension and rear MacPherson system with asymmetrical arms, which provide the inimitable qualities of the Alfa 156 roadholding and handling, always among the main characteristics of the brand."

http://www.webcitation.org/64W4Xq45t
rear suspension
The New Alfa 156 and Sportwagon confirm the geometry adopted on the previous model with its specific configuration of 'high' dual wishbone suspension at the front, MacPherson type rear suspension with transverse links of different lengths.

Conclusion: Alfa 156 has McPherson rear suspension, NOT multilink

Read the talk page of 156, it isnt real mcpherson , there is no explanation what is real multilink either --> Typ932 ^{T· C} 12:42, 11 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi, where did you get those numbers?, I think 3 L GTV has bigger top speed than 240? --> Typ932 ^{T· C} 02:20, 30 April 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi, owners manual, 240kmh for 220PS 3.0 V6, 250kmh with aerokit. Probably 218PS 3.0 V6 has the same top speed, but it was not covered by mine owners manual, as i have a car from 05/1998-08/2000. Also 0-100 tome for 2.0 V6 turbo is not 7.0s its 7.4

There was written with overboost, does the turbo have overboost function? --> Typ932 ^{T· C} 16:17, 30 April 2012 (UTC) reply

Yes the 2.0 V6 TB has overboost, but don't know which of them is with overboost in account

Hi, can you comment my writing in Talk:Alfa_Romeo_GTV_&_Spider#Production , what do you think it? --> Typ932 ^{T· C} 09:36, 7 June 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi, it would been much easier and no need for reverts if you always put citations to your edits and for model years its used only in lately, its not used like in American cars or cars that are sold in USA, I dont see any point to use those because we cant get those for all models. And model year doesnt tell anything about the car because they are not done as American car or can you tell what difference is MY 1997 and MY1998 156? "For vehicles sold in North America where the use of model years is widespread, the model_years field of the infobox may be used in addition to production" --> Typ932 ^{T· C} 03:03, 13 November 2013 (UTC) reply

The citation is hard to do because of the original research, secondly the use of the model year was only to indicate as with GTV when the car was available not when it was produced, and as there is no such categry i used model year category of the infobox.

"on standarized factory data" So you really believe that that the factory data that manufactures publish for theirs cars weights are correct especially from Ferrari. I posting the lowest correct kerb weight for each car i stumble upon. AutoMagazine, Motortrend, Carandriver all weigh individual cars with the same criteria. If Ferrari reported kerb weighs are so credible why are all their cars literally weigh over 100kg then the manufacturer kerb weight. Do i need to give you examples?

What does it matter? You are only giving a single example against a whole series of cars and they are publishing the lowest common denominator for each model. Ask them why their kerb weight is different than journalist cars, then make a change. Right now You are working on an asumption not a factual information.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

Request reason:

In my opinion I am being punished for defending myself against an attacker. I have proven that my edits were maliciously attacked (more than 45 times) and now I'm paying for being forced into this mess. After one of those attacks I was manipulatively reported and could not show my arguments in that bludgeoned thread. I felt I was not heard. I have never reverted others (any users) edits out of spite. I have checked my past 500+ contributions and there should be no issues with them. All are referenced, clear and informative. Subjects that I edit are not of an easy nature, because of many differing opinions and very few sources, and it is very frustrating when someone just deletes part of it through lack of understanding and don't want to own up to a mistake. I have improved greatly quality of my edits and have many more tough projects planned. I can assure You I have no issues with other editors, can cooperate with them and this disruption was one-way only. I shouldn't be punished for trying to better Wikipedia and myself inspite of constant attacks. Thank You for Your time and administration for finally seeing that I was being harassed. (My punishment should reflect my actual misdeeds and not be the same as the attacker) YBSOne ( talk) 16:23, 17 June 2019 (UTC) reply

Decline reason:

Here are three quotes from what other editors have said about this in the ANI discussions about the two of you.

1. "Both of you, stop ... all you've managed to do is prove that you're both fighting, instead of collaborating."
2. "When I look at the histories and talk pages linked above, I see two editors being rude, two editors edit warring, two editors threatening to report the other to "the admins", and two editors arguing about the quality (or existence) of the other's sourcing."
3. "I ... am, indeed, confident that this long-running feud is 2-sided."

There is more, but those three examples will be enough to illustrate the point. Now, which is more likely, that several uninvolved outsiders have each independently come to the same wrong conclusion, or that one person who is involved in the case has seen the situation from something other than an objective perspective?

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I've looked at your contributions and you both clearly seem to be following one another. I see no evidence that this dispute is one-sided. I am not inclined to you having an advantage in this dispute (editing articles frequented by the other party, or both of you) by virtue of only one of the parties being blocked. As far as I'm concerned, the disruption has been 2-sided and I see no reason to reconsider the block on the basis of this unblock request. El_C 16:30, 17 June 2019 (UTC) reply

Would you not agree, in order for a car to be (fill in in the blank) in "The World" said car would need to be available in the World? It is undeniable the USA was Porsche's largest market in that era. It is also undeniable the 959 was not ever 'street legal' in this largest market. In Wikipedia's very own definition of "Production Car" - street legality is one of the main pillars that qualifies a car as such. Otherwise, you could reference any number of 'kit cars' 'tuners' 'special one offs' etc.

The claim it is the fastest car in Europe, sure. But to say it's the fastest car in the world is disingenuous.

In the spirit of good faith, I added no less then 10 citations, also added the clear qualifiers (Available worldwide, and at time of purchase) - further more the Last 959 was made before 1992, the extra 8 in 92-93 being a limited run (below FIA's definition of a production car of having at least 25 made)

Again, in the effort of harmony and consensus, happy to add this info in the entry for additional context. Always to add more data, instead of censoring. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Changomo ( talk • contribs) 17:21, 17 July 2019 (UTC) reply

I see, that makes more sense. However, having read through that website, I don't think it's useful to readers to have the redirect point at the article for the DB7, as that article doesn't say anything about the Twenty Twenty. Readers would have to already know about the Twenty Twenty's relationship to the DB7 in order to make any sense of the information on the page, in which case they could just look up the DB7 directly. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 00:27, 4 August 2019 (UTC) reply

It is an intersting subject. In my opinion the race winner is the overall winner as is the case of this list: List of 24 Hours of Le Mans winners. Class win is also an accomplishement but not the same rank as an overall win. Race is won by one team not by several. YBSOne ( talk) 18:38, 29 August 2019 (UTC) reply

To leave an edit that Trintignant won 1953 Le Mans would be contradictory to the 1953 overall winner Rolt/Hamilton. He didn't win Le Mans he won it's class in Le Mans. YBSOne ( talk) 18:42, 29 August 2019 (UTC) reply

Hello, I'm not sure why you changed the cc from 2405 to 2404 citing "2404.7.." as the capacity.

2404.7 is nearer to 2405 than it is to 2404 so if 'rounding out' then upwards would seem to be more logical. I've yet to change it back though. Eagleash ( talk) 19:46, 13 September 2019 (UTC) reply

Hi, either the capacity is 2405 or is almost 2405, and every capacity below 2405 is not 2405. It can be rounded up to the full litres ie 2.4 L but it cannot be rounded up to the full cc ie capacity of 2404.74 cannot be rounded up because it didn't achieve that mark. A person that has height of 199.5cm is roughly 2.0m high, but is not 200cm high etc. In my opinion that is logical. YBSOne ( talk) 20:29, 13 September 2019 (UTC) reply

Similar problem is with 0-100 times. Maserati 3200 GT has 5.12s to 100kmh. It cannot be rounded up to 5.1s because in tihs time the car would not achieve 100kmh. YBSOne ( talk) 20:39, 13 September 2019 (UTC) reply

Also consider a reader that does not yet have the ability to distinguish all the different Ferrari racing models, and there are a lot of them. If he sees 2404.something on the official website that person will look for the same values on Wikipedia and may find the same car under a different more common title. If 2405 is put instead it may be confusing that a different model was found. It may be better to just cut the decimal point to the last full centimeter and not round up.

Hello, Ybsone,

Thank you for creating Ferrari 290 S.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

It seems like the only cited source with significant, independent coverage of the subject is the book by Leonardo Acerbi, which I was unable to access. However, even if the coverage there is independent and significant, this still fall short of WP:GNG's requirement of multiple examples of independent and significant coverage.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Rosguill}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Hi, @ Rosguill:. I have added more secondary citations to the Ferrari 290 S article, please re-evaluate. Consider that the car is a first for Ferrari, there are some distinctive differences over its predecessor and it was an important milestone in the Jano V12 lineage, that in its whole is not very long.

I was thinking that too. "One-Off & Few-Off" category is not ideal for competition cars. Obviously a lot of competition cars are one-off. Furthermore the word "few" lacks an accurate meaning and it isn't a problem only for competition Ferraris, but for road Ferraris too. 30 cars in 1960 were a lot of cars, 30 cars today are a limited edition. People could start never-ending quarrels about what Ferrari model is a "Few-Off".
Proposition 1: changing "One-Off & Few-Off" to "Special Projects" (in this case only the P80/C is eligible to be in this category).
Proposition 2: help me find a better category (so the P80/C is still eligible and maybe cars like the 250 GT SWB Breadvan could be in this category too).
Proposition 3: changing "One-Off & Few-Off" to "Special Projects" and pretending "Special Project" is not an official Ferrari term (so old cars can be in this category too). -- Torque Vectoring ( talk) 10:56, 5 November 2019 (UTC) reply

In my opinion only prop 1 is viable. All of the early cars with unique bodywork are just that, race cars with unique bodywork. Racing Special Projects are road cars converted for track only use. YBSOne ( talk) 11:02, 5 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Hi Ybsone, as we both share an interest in editing articles about vintage Ferrari, I wanted to offer access to my complete collection of Cavallino magazine. I find these an invaluable historical resource and they are all completely indexed by model/subject here. Lots of material by well respected Ferrari historians. If there is a particular article you are interested in I am happy to dig up that issue and scan/email the article in question. I can't guarantee I can do it promptly, but as a lot of these back issues are super rare/expensive no access is better than some access. Prova MO (talk) 23:09, 11 December 2019 (UTC) reply

• This is in answer U1Quattro's questions, but I'll post the same thing to both users because I hope it will help.
  1. Don't go to a page the other person has created and fiddle with the wording.
  2. Actually, don't fiddle with the wording of the other person's additions at all, particularly when your edits don't significantly improve anything; it's basically baiting them.
  3. Don't over-react when the other person tweaks your wording; no real harm has been done to you.
  4. Don't revert the other person while claiming to be enforcing the interaction ban. Enforcing the interaction ban is not your job.
  5. Don't bicker at each other incessantly whenever an ANI thread is created
  6. In general, go out of your way to avoid bugging the other person, and go out of your way to avoid bugging the community by complaining about the other person.

Dear user, the production of Type 916 start in 1995, there are the ANFIA - Associazione Nazionale Filiera Industria Automobilistica date and many articles of Archivio Storico La Repubblica about the production start in spring 1995 in Arese Plant

See Maserati coupe/spyder/gransport. See 8C Competizione and Spider (500 each). See Lancia Kappa Coupé. YBSOne ( talk) 12:22, 24 March 2020 (UTC) reply

Claim about a pre-production cars is false and unprovable. Every inconvenient car can be called as pre-production and discounted from production start. There are 4 VIN of Spiders (916) from 1993 and one of the was sold to a customer, so it is not pre-production. Also "05proditamodello" shows cars produced (in my opinion sold) from 1995 so it cannot show 1994 as is the case with Alfa 145, the document is just incomplete for cars produced earlier. YBSOne ( talk) 12:29, 24 March 2020 (UTC) reply

As for the recent news, U1Quattro would have still violated IBAN and removed my contribution no matter if I was blocked, uninvolved or active, because he still to this day do not understand what an IBAN violation is and still every page is his and his alone and noone else is allowed to edit them.

Hi Ybsone!

I have found unused pictures of a 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Pininfarina Coupe Speciale on the commons ( /info/en/?search=File:Ferrari_250_GT_(3156808447).jpg) I mistakenly added these pictures to the /info/en/?search=Ferrari_250_GT_Coupé article.

Hi Ybsone, I was going to format a reference at Vignale, and I realized that it appears to be either made up or at least very wrong. It was added by you on 2 December 2020. Did you just find this reference somewhere else in the project or do you know anything else about Palmieri and this non-functional ISBN  978-987-86-6277-0? Thanks,  Mr.choppers |  ✎  02:50, 3 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Ah, I found the original introduction of this "source": [1]. Added by an IP with no other edits, I am going to remove this from wp.en and wp.es as well. Best,  Mr.choppers |  ✎  02:58, 3 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Yeah, must have been carried over. Best. YBSOne ( talk) 08:54, 3 August 2022 (UTC) reply

I suggest you stop doing this change. MOS:RETAIN says to retain the original variety without a good reason to make a change. --jpgordon ^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 16:22, 10 September 2022 (UTC) reply

As an owner of several older Mercedes models, I have made edits to pages of certain Benz platforms. I am finding YBSOne has reverted several of those edits. I would appreciate those edits being preserved or, at a very minimum, not reverting edits with merely stating something "does not enhance the article." I also realized I'd apparently logged out of Wikipedia and have logged back in so future edits will be posted under my username. Respectfully, -Norwick Norwick ( talk) 05:37, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi, glad that You have added content but the quality of said content was in my opinion below the standard of those articles. Those pictures contributed nothing new to those articles. YBSOne ( talk) 08:22, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Below the standard of those articles, even though multiple other pics on the page were lower res or poorly cropped? Simply not true. Norwick ( talk) 18:51, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Start with a Manual of style/Images. Not every version has to be pictured, this is not a requirement. YBSOne ( talk) 08:27, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Likewise, it is not a requirement for you to delete models that previously had not been seen. Simply no reason to consistently revert edits. Norwick ( talk) 18:53, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply

You have added those 2 photos to the Mercedes-Benz W126 article:
Why do we need both those pictures? Cars look exactly the same from the outside and the different engines are not seen from the outside. There are tens of versions of engines, we don't need all of them pictured. YBSOne ( talk) 22:43, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Respectfully, what is the harm in having those images to break up the wall of text on the 126 page? What is the harm in the 210 image referring to the OM606 engine powering the car? I can accept revisions and feedback. But I'm failing to see a valid reason for the repeated removals, particularly as other variations' photos have been left alone. My view, again — respectfully, is more images that are higher-resolution and well framed helps add visual interest and an overall enhancement to text-heavy articles. Norwick ( talk) 00:17, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply

There is nothing wrong with having pictures, but maybe an interior or engine bay picture would be more informative? On the W210 page there is a whole series of pictures that create a blank space, more pictures create more blank space. Picture of the W210 added was not of the best angle and there were much better pictures already. YBSOne ( talk) 08:21, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello, I noticed recently that you’ve added Mercedes-Benz supplied archival sources as references for the start of production dates for some of their cars. However, in many of these cases, you are citing the start of pre-production test models; these vary some from the final, series production models and are often hand assembled, not on a traditional assembly line. Some of the dates in question predate the actual series production by 12-18 months, a relatively major discrepancy. This isn’t to say your sources are bad (although they are sometimes off by a month or two), but you are reading the first number in the production column, which is clearly labeled as the “pre-production” data. For example, with te W220:

Production period 05.1997 / 07.1998 - 08.2002 Note on production period production start-up pre-production series / standard production - end of production

The pre-production figure (the prototypes) were first assembled in April of 1997, about a year after the design freeze, fine, that’s reasonable. What is not is claiming this date as the start of production. No final W220 cars intended for sale or anything other than internal testing were produced in 1997 or most of 1998. The actual start of production date is listed here as the much-more reasonable July of 1998 (although production actually began in August, but regardless, it’s much closer).

I appreciate you supplying OK citations, but I just wanted to let you know you are gleaning the incorrect information from them. Hope this isn’t too rude of me. 129.210.115.226 ( talk) 08:50, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Thank You. I have contacted Mercedes Heritage, I urge You to do the same, and they explained that pre-production cars are not what is commonly and mistakenly assumed as test or prototype cars. They are production cars with VIN that will be sold to customers. They are trade fairs cars, they are factory specified as opposed to customer specified. They are for dealers as demonstrators. But they are cars from the particular type and signify the production start. Those cars are not prototypes. Best. YBSOne ( talk) 09:34, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Quote from Mercedes-Benz Konzernarchiv correspondence: "Preproduction vehicles are generally already customer-ready vehicles that were produced e.g. for trade fairs and dealers for the presentation of the new vehicle model series. Also to prepare production on the line for the main series, i.e. if more quantities have to be produced.". So again the pre-series production is about the quantity and who specified the car, street-legal, homologated, VIN-assigned and customer-ready car of particular type. If said car is from 1997 and series production of customer-specified cars started from 1998, therefore production of that whole model series started in 1997. YBSOne ( talk) 09:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply

This is incredibly interesting, I did not know they were referring to road-ready production vehicles simply produced that far in advance. What still puzzles me is the documentation; Mercedes-Benz does not appear to include those in their total production count, and despite searching everywhere, I cannot seem to find anyone who currently owns one of these pre-production cars, nor have I found any surviving examples outside Mercedes-Benz’s ownership. Was the total output low enough as to facilitate this? These cars must be exceedingly rare. 129.210.115.226 ( talk) 21:28, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Pre-production chassis numbers are in a different register than the production cars. So the totals may not include those. Most interesting is CLK 430 Cabrio as it was manufactured even before the 430 coupé but was in turn not available as pre-facelift. YBSOne ( talk) 21:39, 22 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello User, If you visit NYC Droidcon > Sponsers > Media Partners section, You can see official logo of Global Tech Gadgets media site. So at least please check the sites before marking it randomly spam. AkiraAnastasia12345 ( talk) 17:44, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Fine, please use the reference to reference a particular section, not to add it to the references section. What particular text do You want to reference with this link? What does this link contain in reference to the article? YBSOne ( talk) 17:46, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Thanks for guiding. Added to the reference to reference - a particular section. Thank You. AkiraAnastasia12345 ( talk) 17:54, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi users, as you said previously, I was adding one site only. As a Newbie on Wiki, I wanted to know it is compulsory to add multiple sites? As I am not robot, I read few blogs only. So how adding a unique content is Spam according to you. I would also like to know what things make sites spam and which content makes it not spam? for example, a informational / news content about Samsung S24 Ultra can be similar on TechRadar, The Verge, TechCrunch? But they all can be cited on Wiki. How does it work? Thanks for your guidance. AkiraAnastasia12345 ( talk) 10:59, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

It's not about one site it's about how persistent You were in addind this particular site for unknown purpose, like I mentioned, outside of any section. That was a red flag. YBSOne ( talk) 11:29, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Unknown purpose? I am not Robot to read thousands of blog at a time and then add them on WIki. So you thought its Spam? Did you even check that article on that site? I can understand if there's any problem in content, but i don't think that's problem here. So how do you think its Spam without reading article? If there's no problem with TechRadar, Verge, TechCrunch press releases citation on WIki, almost same, then why you are against 'particular' site with rich, unique content? Just trying to understanding Wiki culture. AkiraAnastasia12345 ( talk) 11:39, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I knew it was a spam because of where You put it. Links are meant to reference a particular sentence or paragraph or a section. In Your history of contributions I found that You were mostly interested in inserting this particular link. That was a red flag. YBSOne ( talk) 11:42, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Please guide me more about "Where To Put It". How to give references to unique, rich articles? Wikipedia is for worldwide people right? About "particular site", if someone puts multiple links to their own Media sites, Like Forbes and their affiliates, then you won't find any problem because they are adding Multiple sites there (All are own by same media company)? And I am not Robot or huge media team and browse unique blogs so adding one single site makes me Red Flag? AkiraAnastasia12345 ( talk) 11:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Examples [2] (Added Droidcon NYC official Media sponsor- Global Tech Gadgets™ to reference section) [3] (Added reference for rich content, users can see multiple images, interiors of Bugatti Chiron "Edition Noire Sportive" on source) and this sounds very promotional of the link [4] (Added reference of latest big laptop brands in 2024). You were clearly promoting this website. YBSOne ( talk) 11:50, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

It seems to me You are not interested to add content and reference it but to add a promotional link and get away with it, to camouflage it as a regular reference. YBSOne ( talk) 11:53, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Can you give example of what references can we add in such paragraphs? Where I am wrong? Would like to know. For example; If I added Bugatti Chiron Noire Sportive related reference, what was wrong in that content? What reference can be added?

About blog, Why you are assuming I am promoting? I am adding value. You don't talk about value or if there's any problem in content, you are ASSUMING just because I added ONE blog. As said before, i am NOT A Robot to read 1000 blogs. Neither Forbes or big media affiliate to add multiple links at a time! So can you confirm your problem is you are ASSUMING I'm promoting site, but not problem with content of site right?? AkiraAnastasia12345 ( talk) 12:01, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

You don't have to add it. It does not have to be here. There is no compulsion to edit. Just let it go. YBSOne ( talk) 12:25, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

(Redacted) coincidence? YBSOne ( talk) 12:29, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Why not?? Wikipedia is not for Big media houses only? Or you are affiliated with them so don't want to add any rich content which can result in loss of your affiliated sites?

About Coincidence? So someone can't use Pinterest blog? And you are Doxxing users? Great culture of Wikipedia! I am not Robot or a media team to add like Forbes or big media affiliate to add multiple links at a time! Please share more doxxing proofs so we can share it on Reddit and other blogs. AkiraAnastasia12345 ( talk) 12:46, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

What is Your affiliation with Global Tech Gadgets? YBSOne ( talk) 13:39, 28 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I read that blog, world should ask you first to read or Pin anything?

what's your affiliation with Forbes? or big media sites? That you are so desperate to doxx because you can't argue with article quality? have problem with me adding a blog, not problem with content of the source.

If someone puts multiple links to their own Media sites, Like Forbes and their affiliates, then you won't find any problem because they are adding Multiple sites there (All are own by same media company)? And I am not Robot or huge media team and browse unique blogs so adding one single site makes me Red Flag? So if I add multiple sites you won't have any problem?
