Can Wikipedia block Angie's list for spam?

Angie's list has a "homeadvisor" website with a fake-business listing.

The fake-business listing is https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.GrizzlyBearHandyman.27455136.html

I hate the construction industry, and Angie knows that. Angie is still spamming me, Timothy_Treadwell, and John_"Grizzly"_Adams with her list.

Why is Angie's list a trusted source? 71.198.140.17 (talk) 01:42, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, no idea. I would maybe ask at WP:TEA. They might be able to point you in a better direction. Snowman304|talk 05:56, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ref request

Hey, if you have the time/interest could you take a look at the refs on Roger Woodward? I just came across it and it's a mess... could probably all be sfn too. Sorry to bother – Aza24 (talk) 22:32, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you weren't kidding. No bother at all. I'll take a stab at it. Snowman304|talk 23:08, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Much appreciated! Aza24 (talk) 00:03, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I got through about 2/3 of the references. The last third I'm going to save for tomorrow unless some intrepid editor takes a crack at it while I'm away. Snowman304|talk 01:31, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shameless plug

Hiya. I noticed that you added {{duplicated citations}} to Treaty of Trianon. You may be interested in User:Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences which can do that for you, and specifies which of the refs have been duplicated to make cleanup easier. Polygnotus (talk) 18:04, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ronald Daniel Bass

A tag has been placed on Ronald Daniel Bass requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

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.

Maxton Rollerskate edits

Hi Snowman304, I reverted your edits to this page. I was curious as to why you made the changes you did.Kumboloi (talk) 20:53, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kumboloi: I did notice that, and I didn't understand why you reverted them. My edits were to clean up the citations—removing unused parameters and adding archives to make them easier to check in case links change/rot. If you peruse my contributions, you'll see thousands of similar changes. Snowman304|talk 21:27, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I suspected. It just seemed a little unusual to convert so many working references to archived items, and leave some. When I scanned through the changes, it also appeared that some author attributions were lost (although they may have just been moved). I also noticed some odd looking artifacts left, like "last=< !--Not stated-->", instead of "author=< !--Not stated-->". It looked like a script error.
