Tagging of User talk:Deepkang

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on User talk:Deepkang. I do not think that User talk:Deepkang fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because WP:UP allows "limited autobiographical content" and I do not see an infobox as exceeding that. Also, we do not normally delete the main user talk page of an editor. I request that you consider not re-tagging User talk:Deepkang for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page.

G5

Hi, please note that speedy deletion G5 only applies to articles created by a sockpuppet of a blocked editor created after the sockmaster has been blocked as per WP:CSD, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 17:39, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Ping

Sorry, I pinged you by mistake, thinking you were the other Taivo. I suspect HammerFilmFan above made the same mistake. I hope that you don't mind the link I added to your user page. The other Taivo was very active here, and a lot of us have gotten confused. — kwami (talk) 20:04, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Tagging pages for speedy deletion

Hello, Taivo,

You recently tagged a User page for CSD G13 deletion that wasn't eligible for this criteria. Please review Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G13 and the entire Criteria for Speedy Deletion page before tagging any more pages for deletion. Please use the appropriate criteria when you tag pages for speedy deletion.

If you have questions, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:38, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

@Liz: I tagged the page as {{db-draft}} and in my opinion the page was eligible for deletion due to that reason as abandoned draft (no edits since March). And really, the page was deleted. But next time, if I see such page again, I'll tag it as {{db-spam}}. Taivo (talk) 11:05, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

I am just happy you're still around

Disambiguation link notification for March 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Indrek Allmann, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Aidu and Randvere. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:09, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

May 2022

Hello Taivo. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Taivo. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Taivo|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:59, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Taivo,

On some of your edit summaries, you state that you were paid to make the edit. But you haven't posted a paid editing disclosure on your User page. Failure to do this can lead to a loss of editing privileges so please do so before you edit again. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:01, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, @Liz:. I ask advice. I am not paid for most of my edits. If I put paid edit message on my userpage, then it will make impression, that I am paid for most and maybe even every of my edit, and this would be wrong. Instead, if I write that on edit summaries, then it would be easier to understand, which edits I am paid for and which I am not. What do you think?

Second question. Let's imagine, that I put paid editing message on my userpage. Now let's imagine, that I am not paid anymore. Does it mean, that I can remove the paid editing message? If not, does the paid editing message will remain on my userpage for eternity, although I am not paid anymore? This will create wrong impression as well. Taivo (talk) 07:00, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Utah meetup during Wikimania 2022, August 13?

Hi! I thought I'd host a meetup during Wikimania this month. What do you think? See Wikipedia:Meetup/Utah/August_2022. KarenJoyce (talk) 02:53, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

@KarenJoyce: Good idea! Personally, I have never in my life been in America and probably never will. Taivo (talk) 13:00, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Ah! I see it's time to introduce myself to TaivoLinguist. Take care! KarenJoyce (talk) 13:35, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

sock tagging

Why are you tagging troll socks, years after they've been blocked? This is pretty disruptive and there's a reason CUs and clerks don't tag every sock. PRAXIDICAE🌈 19:50, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

• Praxidicae is correct Taivo. There are many reasons why an account may not have been tagged, please leave it to the CUs, SPI Clerks and admins.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:00, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

  (edit conflict) A bunch of these were deliberately deleted by DoRD ages ago, which he explicitly noted in the SPI. Others had usernames that were clearly highly abusive and should obviously not have been tagged. I'm going to go ahead and delete them. --Blablubbs (talk) 20:06, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

  @Ponyo can you actually delete these? Some aren't confirmed but DoRD had previously tagged and then decided to delete, which is the better outcome especially since some are lockhidden for being disgusting. PRAXIDICAE🌈 20:06, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

  Looks like Blablubbs is going to zap them. Don't want to trip over them.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:09, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

  Now zapped . --Blablubbs (talk) 20:10, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Taivo, you came back after a few months' break to create 124 of these sockpuppet User pages! I can think of many more useful ways to spend your time on Wikipedia. These were edits that needed to be cleaned up after. I trust this was a one time mistake. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:26, 12 August 2022 (UTC) (Well, strike that ill-placed comment, then. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:37, 12 August 2022 (UTC))

@Liz: They have been active on their main projects (Commons and et.eiki) where they are admins. I think this was likely just a carry-over error from another project-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:12, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Harassment

I will report you for harassment, and for forcing a vote. Good fortune to you, looks bleak to me. For, forcing a vote against a 1-1, and for intimidation. You think this is okay? 1 2. Radlrb (talk) 18:35, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
