Hey Vgbyp! Was looking at the DOS link you added on the O visa page, I don't see any information about how O visa applicants (unlike other temporary visas) do not need to show binding ties to a residence outside the U.S. Was wondering if maybe you saw something different? Weirtz7 (talk) 18:14, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Hey Vgbyp! I don't agree with your changes on the O visa page. The first one you linked to an article that does not contain any information about the specific copy that you added the reference too. The second, you took away useful information to the user about what the O visa is commonly called. Have you taken a look at other Visa wiki pages? They link to similar content. Or even the O-1 page I linked^[1] to? It's a very thorough piece of content. The DOS link you added as a reference to the following text was removed because the page mentions nothing about O visa applicants not having to prove binding ties to residence, unlike other visas: "Unlike many other temporary employment visas, the applicant need not demonstrate proof of binding ties to a residence outside the United States which the applicant has no intention of abandoning." Weirtz7 (talk) 18:57, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Hey Vgbyp! Where exactly do you see that an applicant need not demonstrate proof of binding ties to a residence outside the United States from your notation? It seems like you are not keeping relevant information in the article. (No longer a case according to https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/employment/temporary.html) --- I undid your change because one of the main advantages of the O-1 Visa is that a holder does not have to prove binding ties to residence outside the U.S., this does not apply to O-2 Visas however. I updated the copy to reflect the facts. Weirtz7 (talk) 15:46, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Hey Vgbyp! I don't know why you keep saying self-promotion as a reason--- I don't own a legal website. Why do you keep removing relevant information?

Hi Vgbyp!

Could you please help me remove the official website (iqoption.com) from the blacklist? I have no idea why was it included, it must have been a mistake. Since it's blacklisted, I cannot make references to it to make the article more informative. Rrusl u (talk) 10:22, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps, it was blacklisted for a reason. Anyway, linking to the primary sources for reference is not a good idea.Vgbyp (talk) 10:34, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Hey there! I just re-launched the WikiProject Investment.

The site has been fully revamped and updated and I would like to invite you the project.

Feel free to check out the project and ping me if you have any questions.

I'd like to invite you to join the Investment WikiProject. There are a lot of Investment related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help get this project off the ground and a few Investment pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks!

Hi Envid! I don't understand what parameters were used in the current list, since most of sources are outdaded or divergent from UNODC latest report, how we can use Non-UNODC sources for some countries, and not for others? Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hesteriana (talk • contribs) 02:01, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

@Hesteriana: The list - the main table titled "Intentional homicide victims per 100,000 inhabitants. From UNODC." - uses only UNODC data. If some data there diverges from the UNODC report, please update it. We shuldn't use any non-UNODC sources there, not for any country. However, we can use any other reliable sources in the "Country subdivisions" section below the main table. Thank you! Vgbyp (talk) 07:55, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to take the subject of EB-5 Regional Centers seriously, Envid.

I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that the entry you deleted was in no way promotional ... it described a notable and unique occurrence in the establishment of EB-5 Regional Center designations, just as the two previous RC entries before it regarding RC designations in Rockland, IL and the District of Colombia. This is not promoting an investment opportunity, as the NatureAll Regional center has since explored options of moving to Texas and sought to establish a new entity and new Regional Center designation in another state, requiring that the process of applying with USCIS be started again from the beginning. The entry is also not advertising a service, nor is it recommending any business or promoting any product.

Accordingly I have, respectfully, reversed your redaction ... I do, however, as a new member editor on the Wikipedia platform, appreciate your contribution to the important subject of foreign investment in the US economy through the EB-5 investment program. Please let me know if you have any questions for me!

I am reverting it because it is unencyclopedic and promotional in nature. Vgbyp (talk) 16:33, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

With all due respect, sir ... you would have to erase the two other entries regarding specific regional center designations. This seems to have gotten personal for you. I will be re-reverting it back into existence as part of the official record kept here on Wikipedia, as it has as much, if not more, encyclopedic value than the previous two passages regarding regional center designations, and is not promoting any product, service, or investment opportunity. If you can point out my error where I am accidentally advocating for a product, service, or investment opportunity, I'll gladly agree with you. Otherwise, I urge you to enlist the opinion of an impartial third party, and be sure to mention my point about the previous two regional center designations, specifically mentioning by name not only the corporate entity serving as the EB-5 investment vehicle, but also principal agents as well as investment amounts. If these aren't promotional in nature, as you've mentioned, then how is the entry about the now defunct NatureAll RC? Thank you Envid! Please have a blessed 4th of July holiday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheNetOutcome (talk • contribs) 23:49, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia, your entries and responses are as well ... spamming: "unsolicited or undesired electronic messages" ... as long as we ignore, just as one would need to to consider my entry as being "spam," the complete absence of any kind of commercial advertising in your responses. Think about what you're doing and why you're doing it. I suspect you feel it's your personal duty to fight for the virtue of Wikipedia. In your quest to do so, however, you've become part of the problem. I can do this every day, Vgbyp.

Hello,

My name is Tijana and I am a team leader of Wikinvesting.com project. Along with five of my colleagues and friends who are investment and trading enthusiasts, I have started the Wikinvesting which is based on MediaWiki platform.

Wikinvesting is a non-profit, game-changing movement which aims to round up all those individuals who believe that unbiased financial market information and knowledge should be extensively available to everyone. And this is also how I got to you :) Namely, I was searching for information I needed on financial markets and I have noticed that there isn’t a lot of "useful" information available on Wikipedia (to my surprise). In addition to that, the information available through sites such as Investopedia or Investing is tightly controlled by the business owners and hence easily manipulated. Simply, traders like me could not trust such sources in planning the investment and trading strategy...

So, what we want to create is a base where active or aspiring traders, content writers, investors, and generally financial enthusiasts will share their knowledge and experience, discuss investment opportunities, analyze news etc., all for the purpose of wikinvesting becoming the biggest financial knowledge “open source” base. I am not sure if you are familiar with the recent case of GameStop where gaming enthusiasts gather around the GameStop via reddit forum and prevented the hedge funds from sinking it down. They were basically our inspiration to starting this project.

I would love to share more information about this project with you and also discuss future potential opportunities, hence if you are interested, please let me know so we can continue this on our slack channel.

Cheers,

Hi Vgbyp, I work for Tezos and have written up some suggested changes to improve the article's accuracy. As you have been active in discussions related to cryptocurrencies, I thought you may want to weigh in on an ongoing discussion on the Tezos Talk page. I welcome any feedback you have and would appreciate assistance implementing the changes due to my COI. Thanks very much, Marko at Tezos (talk) 15:34, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

The change in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bitcoin&diff=1130056766&oldid=1130010872

You reverted my change, saying it appeared to be original research. I'd like to discuss what falls under that category for you. There is a reference to a Senate bill, by Senator Warren. I suppose that part you would agree is not OR. Perhaps your issue is with the part I added following that, that it is the users of the network, rather than the network itself breaking fungibility. You may have have a problem with the next sentence as well, that users can use a CoinJoin transaction to regain fungibility. Are those last two sentences the problem? Thanks.

Haxwell (talk)

Actually all three sentences are problematic in my opinion. The first one would require a secondary source that supports the said bill does indeed ban anonymized digital assets. The second one (about 'users not network') needs a source for itself. And the third one has two problems with its source: although the source excellently explains how CoinJoin works, it doesn't serve as a good non-OR support for the actual claim of the sentence, and it is also a wiki-website, which, being a user-generated content, shouldn't be used as a reliable source. Vgbyp (talk) 18:24, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

- The first one would require a secondary source that supports the said bill does indeed ban anonymized digital assets. That is literally what the bill itself says. Section 3.d of the Bill reads: "TREASURY REGULATIONS.—Not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury shall promulgate a rule that prohibits financial institutions from ... (2) handling, using, or transacting business with digital assets that have been anonymized by the technologies described in paragraph (1)." As is mentioned in the lead up to this sentence in the article, chain analysis is how financial institutions will comply with the law, and how courts will determine if the law has been broken.

I think that passes verifiability, and the Bill itself was published by Congress. It does not need a second supporting source; it is the source! And because the statement is relevant, verifiable, and the source is reliable, it is not Original Research.

That said, I do need to word things better here, and you were right to delete it as is.. Overall it is not up to snuff.. I will go back to the drawing board on this one. But its not OR even now :p

Haxwell (talk) 06:06, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

The cited piece talks about financial institutions and anonymization by some specifically described technologies. Maybe that's exactly what was written in your edit to the article, but it's hard to judge - that's why a secondary source that would support the claim would be much more preferable here. No offense, but considering there is no urgency to add this information, it is best to get it right than to add it fast but poorly, decreasing the section's overall quality. Vgbyp (talk) 10:49, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm putting this here rather than in talk:pound sterling because it is incidental to your main point (and my reply). Because Ireland had an Irish pound until it joined the euro, it was common practice in Ireland (and, seemingly, still is in banking circles) to disambiguate the £ sign. "For avoidance of doubt".

RamzyM (WMF) 23:10, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

I am trying to update the table in this article:

• List of countries by firearm-related death rate

I want the latest year available for each country. I have finally figured out filters enough to get the UNODC source data down to 3 columns:

• https://ask.libreoffice.org/uploads/short-url/c4WknbwCD8xIJpOxRy9P5lKUyB1.ods

But I don't know how take it any further. If you could get it down to one year per country (the latest year) I would greatly appreciate it. The download link is from a LibreOffice forum thread. I messed up the filtering a lot, so I wouldn't waste much time on that thread:

• https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/csv-file-only-keep-last-entry-for-each-country/105990

You can paste the resulting plain table in this sandbox:

• User:Timeshifter/Sandbox250

I can take it from there.

I know how to keep multiple years (one year per column) in order to get the latest available data for all countries in the list. But that would mean keeping these 12 years: 2008, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022. That is too many columns.

That is why I only want the latest available year. This method is needed for many Wikipedia country and state tables.

Please explain the steps you take in Excel (or whatever you use) to get the results. I will try to figure it out in LibreOffice, and write up some more instructions. --Timeshifter (talk) 01:20, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Here is how to do it Calc:

1. Sort the columns by Year descending.

2. Select column A (Location).

3. Data->More Filters->Standard Filter.

4. Column A = Not Empty.

5. Options: No duplications.

6. OK.

7. Note that extra rows aren't deleted but hidden. You can now copy the remaining rows to another table.

Please let me know if you encounter some issue with this method. Vgbyp (talk) 14:15, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I followed your instructions and it worked. I don't understand it all, but it worked. I hope to write up the instructions and put them on a help page. I have started here: User:Timeshifter/Sandbox249#Instructions.

I will be putting the results in the article.

Question: How do I round off to 3 decimal places without changing the single "0" to 0.000. See:

Help:Creating_tables#Round_off_numbers

I can do ctrl-click on those numbers after selecting the column. That is what I did for the single column at User:Timeshifter/Sandbox249#Table with flags.

But that is tedious, especially if there are many countries with a "0" rate in many columns. For example, the 2014 to 2022 table here with many year columns:

User:Timeshifter/Sandbox250

I am going to add that updated table to List of countries by firearm-related death rate. Along with the latest available year table with just one column.

The 2014-2022 table has all the countries except Egypt (2011) and India (2012). --Timeshifter (talk) 07:53, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

To round off to 3 decimal places without changing zero to "0.000", you need to use custom cell formatting:

1. Select the column you wish to format.

2. Right-click.

3. Format Cells...

4. Under Format Code enter 0.000;-0.000;0;@

5. OK. Vgbyp (talk) 08:20, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks again! See: User:Timeshifter/Sandbox251
What exactly is happening with this?: 0.000;-0.000;0;@
--Timeshifter (talk) 22:52, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

The first part 0.000 is the format with three decimal places for positive numbers.

The second part -0.000 is the format with three decimal places for negative numbers (I understand that you probably don't have those, but you cannot skip the negative number part in such formatting strings).

The third part 0 is what to display in place of zeros (this is what you asked for specifically).

The fourth part @ is what is displayed when it's not a number at all and it means that it will be displayed as is. E.g., if you have a cell with text 'word' in it, it will be displayed as 'word'.

Please let me know if you need any further help with this! 06:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC) Vgbyp (talk) 06:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation!

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IC Markets (4th nomination). While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. TarnishedPath^talk 04:03, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, but your warning is clearly misplaced. I didn't notify any users via their talk pages, but only did so by pinging from the relevant talk page. The only bias of choice was in regard to the topics that those users edited, while the pings remained limited and nonpartisan. If you check the edit history of those users, you will notice that they all reverted my own edits in the past. Calling those pings an 'indiscriminate cross-posting' or accusing me of sending them only to "those who are believed to hold the same opinion as me" borders on abusive. I kindly ask you to be careful when using warning templates. Thank you! Vgbyp (talk) 11:22, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Per WP:CANVASSING, "Canvassing refers to notification done with the intention of influencing the outcome of a discussion in a particular way, and is considered inappropriate".

The fact that you wrote "The only bias of choice was in regard to the topics that those users edited" indicates clearly that you selectively pinged edits and is WP:INAPPNOTE.

The only way your pings would have been appropriate were if you pinged ALL editors from some previously related discussion. Alternatively you could have left messages on related projects informing editors of the discussion.

Please do not continue this behaviour in the future. TarnishedPath^talk 12:56, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, my bad! I didn't notice that user Sargdub already participated in this debate and I would like to apologize for that. That wasn't my intention to ping any of the users from the previous debates. My aim was to notify editors who made substantial edits on the topic, which is appropriate according to WP:APPNOTE.

nice work !

Hi Vgbyp, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! _signed, Rosguill ^talk 20:14, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi, this is an automated reminder as part of Global reminder bot to let you know that your permission "patroller" (New page reviewers) will expire on 00:00, 30 September 2025 (UTC). For most rights, you will need to renew at WP:PERM, unless you have been told otherwise when your right was approved. To opt out of user right expiry notifications, add yourself to m:Global reminder bot/Exclusion. Leaderbot (talk) 19:42, 23 September 2025 (UTC)

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points. The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026. The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive. Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants. Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points. Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds. Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in participating? Sign up here.
