Sui juris

Thank you for reviewing Sui juris. Please direct me to the information page(s) that will help me create a quality page for Sui juris. I would attempt a good repair of Sui iuris but it appears to be controlled by the church sui iuris. I meant no violation while my attempt to produce Sui juris I only started with definitions and planned to add the more working aspects of the term. Maybe it should be applied to the church sui iuris as a section or perhaps other. My research into sui iuris finds nothing while sui juris is plentiful. If I am trying to hard to make something out of sui juris, tell me so and I will find another area of interest, I am easy to please.Suijur (talk) 21:31, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for you response, very kind and informative. I will utilize it with the respect it deserves.Suijur (talk) 00:56, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Need Help Creating an article!

I have made an article "City Express Money Transfer" however, it was deleted by another user "RHaworth".

Please let me know what things do I need to remove/ change or edit. I am desperate now because I had made two articles and none of them were approved. Please I need you kind assistance. PLEASE!!!

(Your suraj (talk) 03:59, 21 January 2019 (UTC))

@Your suraj: You still have a draft at Draft:City Express Money Transfer, so there is no need to have multiple copies. I removed what you posted here. (Thanks to Thegooduser for collapsing it.)
I think you may be having difficulties creating articles because you have not embraced the need to write neutrally and establish notability. My suggestion is that you stop trying to create new articles for a while and spend a considerable amount of time working on improving existing articles. Creating new articles is particularly hard because there are a lot of policies, guidelines, and style conventions that you have to get right to be successful. New editors often make a lot of overlapping and entangled mistakes when they try to create a new article from scratch. It's hard for other editors to explain what all needs to be fixed because there are so many issues. When working on improving existing articles, you generally still make some mistakes, but they are usually one-issue problems that can be easily explained and understood. After you've done a bunch of these edits, you'll be in a much better position to start trying to create a new article. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 07:00, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

RE: Criticism Section for Thomas Woods

Hey there! I saw you were a previous editor on this article, and I wanted to let you know I posted on the talk page. I was hoping to get some feedback about this proposal, and so I was not sure who else to notify. Seems there has been some meta-controversy that I only just now noticed, so I would like to avoid getting into that.

Many Thanks, ―Matthew J. Long -Talk- 20:26, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello,

This profile has been maliciously attacked by the user "BestTandoori" and we cannot have libelous information on Wiki. Although citations are present, they do not accurately reflect the content. For instance, certain terms utilized such as "lobbying" never happened nor did the public in figure in question ever say he was. Additionally, these users have strategically removed information that holistically also represent the overall contributions of this public figure, with intentional removals of positive accolades. I previously factually represented both the positive and negative when I first amended this profile. Malicious accounts like "BestTandoori" are solely made to instigate and vandalize this public figures character. I did not have time to fix them at this present moment. I will incorporate accurate and reliable citations with facts not opinions, but my efforts will be thwarted if they continue to be removed by accounts such as this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sigma58 (talkcontribs) 23:30, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

I cleaned up the second paragraph about bankruptcy which I agree did not accurately reflect what was in the cited reference.
Nevertheless, this material is neither libelous nor vandalism. It is a content dispute and you need to explain your removals, based on policy, and probably discuss your disagreement on the talk page of the article in question. I see no effort by you to engage with the other editor. Wikipedia is a collaborative process and working with other editors, even editors you think you have fundamental disagreements with, is required. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 23:35, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Creating a New Page and Answering your question

Thank you I believe I turned on the twinkle. So all I have to do is add ˜˜~ or ˜˜˜~ ? Or will it automatically show up now as signed?

Thank you, I believed it constituted as vandalism " is the act of editing the project in a malicious manner that is intentionally disruptive. Vandalism includes the addition, removal, or modification of the text or other material that is either humorous, nonsensical, a hoax, or that is an offensive, humiliating, or otherwise degrading nature." The tags you mentioned are more specific. No conflict of interest exists, I have been editing many other pages, this just seems to be the only one that has such drastic changes. I hope you understand that when you spend a long time on something, to have someone change it with ill intent is in itself should be a conflict of interest, especially when that page was created to solely attack the profile of the public figure in question. I am spirited when it comes to these types of attacks because it goes against the reason I would like to become a good Wiki contributor. I will send an email to the public figure to let them know this is happening if it continues, just so they can deal with it, since it has taken so much of my time.

My goal is to be fair and holistic to everyone.

Thirdly, how do I create a page? I would like to create a page for the public figure Karen Wang from BC? I searched and it does not exist. I believe she is notable enough because she has been in the news so much and deserves a profile that fairly gives a holistic overview of her current endeavours. It says an admin needs to create one. Your assistance in ensuring I am creating one properly and following all guidelines would be appreciated. I intend to apply all of your feedback and thank you again for your time.

Here is a link that gives you an idea of the candidate I am referring to.

It takes exactly four tildes to create a proper signature. Three and five do something else. And they need to be ordinary 7-bit ASCII tildes, not the Unicode look-alikes that you were using.
Clinging to the dictionary definition of vandalism is not going to carry the day. Experienced editors looking at the face of what's been done will all call it a content dispute, not vandalism. As I said, it may actually be disruptive editing carried out with bad intent, but you are inferring the bad intent. If the other party does not respond with discussion, that lack of proper behavior is something that admins might intervene for.
Most of the time, candidates do not meet the notability guidelines as laid out by NPOL - the extra publicity they get for being a candidate is discounted somewhat. Once they win the election, for certain offices, they are presumed to pass. But this article indicates some doubt as to whether she'll be the candidate this year.
It sounds like you should go through the Articles for creation process to create a new article. There's information at your first article that you need to take on board before you go through this. Creating new articles is hard because of the large number of policies, guidelines and conventions that you have to get mostly right for an article to be accepted.
You appear to like the word holistic but keep using it in ways that make me wonder what you think it means. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 18:54, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
How about this, Murray Wright Mayor of Verdin Manitoba? I am surprised he does not have a biography. Can someone get this one started so I can add to it? [1] Sigma58 02:38, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
Hey, it looks like the signature almost worked this time! It's not linking to your user page or your talk page, but it's progress. Now you need to work on indenting (with colons) your replies.
Mayors of small towns generally do not pass the NPOL test, nor do politicians who get into the news once for outrageous statements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmcgnh (talkcontribs) 05:55, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
