Translation
Hello TwinTurbo. Just a quick note re Syamsul Yusof, if you to create a page from another language please follow the instructions at WP:TRANSLATION. Pasting a google translation as you did here is probably the worst thing you can do - they are generally so poor that they are considered to be worse than nothing and they are very difficult and tedious to fix, as evidenced by the huge backlog of similarly poor articles. If you are not able to translate something properly yourself then please do not use google translate again, just leave it for someone else to do--Jac16888 Talk 17:09, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
RFA
You might want to un-transclude your RFA until you've answered the questions more fully, and in clear, friendly sentence form. RFA !voters are looking for communication above all else - oh, and the ability to follow the directions :-) ES&L 12:07, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed; a malformed request is likely to put users off straight away. Also, I'm urged to say have your read WP:NOTNOW? With 2,000 edits (the majority to the main space) and
atwo year's tenure you're certainly on the right track - however I think you'll struggle to pass at present. Pedro : Chat 12:28, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- ...I agree you're on the right track, but as Pedro says, the odds of making it with less than 5000-6000 edits are extremely slim, and a failed RFA typically looks "bad" later on ES&L 12:48, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- This is all fair enough, thanks for the input guys. TwinTurbo (talk) 13:55, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Hi TwinTurbo. I closed your RFA per WP:NOTNOW, as it was obvious that it would not have passed. I hope this will not discourage you from continuing being a productive Wikipedian. You might want to consider running again at a later time when you have gained more experience. Widr (talk) 15:44, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is in need of archiving. According to Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines; "Large talk pages become difficult to read, strain the limits of older browsers, and load slowly over slow internet connections. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 KB or has multiple resolved or stale discussions." - this talk page is 105.9 KB. See Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a bot. If you have any questions, place a {{help me}} notice on your talk page, or go to the help desk. Thank you. --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:21, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Joshua Ribera, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page West Midlands (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Houdini (rapper) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Houdini (rapper), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Big H (rapper) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Cheers, Polyamorph (talk) 22:21, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
Non-free rationale for File:TripleMLogo.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:TripleMLogo.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:25, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Deletion discussion about The Essence
Hello, TwinTurbo
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Citrivescence and it's nice to meet you :-)
I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, The Essence, should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Essence.
You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Citrivescence}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Nomination of Frenzo Harami for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Frenzo Harami is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frenzo Harami until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:04, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Smoke Dawg
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Smoke Dawg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Smoke Dawg. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Conflict of interest
I'm going to save you the template, but I'm concerned about your uploads here which feature several professional and personal (ie. close relationship to subjects) photos which you've written articles about. Can you clarify how you're the copyright holder of these images? Praxidicae (talk) 13:40, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Praxidicae As much as I'd like to keep my private life separate, but long story short my job role gives me the position of being close with these artists and some are from shows I have attended. TwinTurbo (talk) 14:03, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- You really need to review WP:COI as you have a clear conflict of interest and I'd expect someone of your tenure here to know this. Praxidicae (talk) 14:06, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Will do indeed. Just to clarify, I have not been paid to create these articles. TwinTurbo (talk) 14:15, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- conflicts of interest don't necessarily mean paid. I'd also strongly encourage you to go through your uploads provide the metadata to avoid deletion. Praxidicae (talk) 14:20, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:TheEssence.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:TheEssence.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:45, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Concern
I have interacted with TwinTurbo several times the past few months and I have some concerns. Recently at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Smoke Dawg (2nd nomination), I noted here that TwinTurbo was canvasing votes. TwinTurbo also recently archived their talk page, which effectively hid the history to most users. This editor has also created a large number of articles about garage bands, which have ultimately been deleted. Now this sock puppetry, which I and others suspected here when the newly-created sock was used to influence Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frenzo Harami, an article TwinTurbo created. There seems to be a ruthlessness to preventing these TwinTurbo-created articles about musicians from being deleted. Why is this? Two weeks ago, User:Praxidicae started this discussion regarding their concern that TwinTurbo may have a conflict of interest. My concern is that TwinTurbo demonstrates a pattern of being paid editor. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:47, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Magnolia677: I am not a paid editor but I do wish I have been paid for my edits cos they are amazing. I just have an interest in music. What I have noticed with you is that you are a overzealous deleter and have been the only person who has requested to delete my pages. You have even requested numerous pages which met notability guidelines. I can see that we don't agree on numerous issues but I admit when I am wrong. TwinTurbo (talk) 18:50, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- I will take my block from Wikipedia as a vacation. Adios. I will return . TwinTurbo (talk) 18:56, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

TwinTurbo, you have access to this talk page solely so you can request an unblock. You are not permitted to solicit users to edit on your behalf while you are blocked. --Yamla (talk) 11:15, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
Hello there Turbo. I'm sorry to see this has happened to you. Had never noticed you about until earlier this week, but you immediately struck me as a someone who obviously has their heart in the right place.
On the socking thing, while many view it as corrosive to community health, it's far from an unforgiveable sin. Several of our most respected admins are known to be former sock masters. We all deal with the horror of AfD in different ways - few have the heroic character to handle it as perfectly as my buddy Dream. Personally I only look at a handful of AfDs a year, otherwise the relentless destruction just gets too distressing.
You've done thousands of high quality edits for us, and at least from a quick look, I didnt' notice even your sock launching personal attacks. So normally, a concise (4-8 line) unblock request that committed to no further socking, and demonstrated understanding that socking is wrong, may have been enough to get an immediate unblock. In this case, earlier unblock requests may have came across as intentionally misleading. For this reason, it would probably be advisable to wait 3-6 months before trying again with an honest unblock request.
In the meantime, as Yamla suggests it would be advisable not to log onto Wikipedia until you're ready to request an unblock. Folk who keep checking Wikipedia while blocked seem to just get more and more distressed. You might know all of this, but here are some useful things you can do with your wiki-time. Free online courses, some of which only take a few hours, give you certificates, and can help with all sorts of careers. There's thousands to choice from at sites like Alison or the open university. For your general browsing, a great wiki-like way to keep track of all the interesting sources & sites you find is roam app . If you wish to carry on helping others to learn, there's several other Wikimedia projects or you might like making articles on the big Inclusionist encyclopaedias like Golden or Everipedia. Or if you wanted ideas for any hands on ways to help in your local hood, there's nextdoor or Covid local groups. And if you find yourself making lots of different accounts, don't forget to download a free password database.
In the meantime, I'll take care of the Fredo thing for you. But please dont make posts like that again - you might get your talk page access revoked. I'd advise not even logging on to thank me. I already know you'll appreciate this message, and helping out a bro like yourself is its own reward. Try not to worry too much about what happens with your work - no good thing is ever permanently destroyed or spoiled. The ruins of time make mansions in eternity.
