Paul Devlin (footballer)

Hi This is Paul Devlin, the guy who's page you have blocked me from editing. I tried to edit it a couple of times before creating an account, that's why its the same IP. A lot of what you keep re posting on there is either wrong, or stuff I don't want up. Can you please let me edit my own page and leave it alone?? Pdfc2025 (talk) 14:31, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, no. If you are who you say you are, then you have a clear conflict of interest and you shouldn't be making any edits to an article about yourself. Please make any edit suggestions on the article's talk page. For more information, please see the COI information that I've left on your own talk page.

@Pdfc2025: Paul, I know this might be upsetting or frustrating, but the simple fact is that you do not have any right of ownership or control over any Wikipedia article, even one about you. Wikipedia is a collaborative project where anyone can edit any article at any time. The content of articles are paraphrased summaries of material previously published in reliable sources that are independent of the article's subject. Naturally we strive for accuracy, and there are ways to address problems in an article about you. But you cannot insist that the article remain at a version that you prefer and tell others to leave it alone. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:49, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, i can tell you lots of the stuff you have on there is wrong, FACT. I am happy to prove i am who i say i am if needed. I find it amazing i am being told about my career by other people. Pdfc2025 (talk) 10:11, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

You can send an email to info-enwikimedia.org for instructions how to prove you are who you say. However, that doesn't mean you will be unblocked to edit that article. You'll still need to make suggestions on the talk page for any edits. And, unfortunately, anything added can't simply go by your word. It has to be back by reliable sources.

Tech News: 2025-04

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

• Administrators can mass-delete multiple pages created by a user or IP address using Extension:Nuke. It previously only allowed deletion of pages created in the last 30 days. It can now delete pages from the last 90 days, provided it is targeting a specific user or IP address. [1]
• On wikis that use the Patrolled edits feature, when the rollback feature is used to revert an unpatrolled page revision, that revision will now be marked as "manually patrolled" instead of "autopatrolled", which is more accurate. Some editors that use filters on Recent Changes may need to update their filter settings. [2]
• View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the Visual Editor's "Insert link" feature did not always suggest existing pages properly when an editor started typing, which has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

• The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is being progressively removed from the wikis. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. The last group of wikis (Catalan Wikiquote, Wikimedia Finland, Goan Konkani Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikibooks, Wikimedia Sweden) will soon be contacted. If you have questions about this process, please ping Trizek (WMF) at your wiki. [3]
• The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: updates about services from the Data Platform Engineering teams, information about Codex from the Design System team, and more.
