WP:UPE redirect
Due to how prevalently "UPE" is being using as the primary abbreviation for "undisclosed paid editing", I was surprised to find that WP:UPE still redirects to Wikipedia:Use plain English..... when looking at incoming links, all the 2017 most recent ones intend to link to the topic of undisclosed paid editing! IMO the best solution would be:
- Create a new shortcut WP:PLAINENGLISH, put it in the shortcut box at Wikipedia:Use plain English, and change the old links to WP:UPE to that new shortcut (about 70 or so)
- Retarget WP:UPE to reflect its current usage, either at the same location as WP:PAYDISCLOSE or WP:COIPAYDISCLOSE and add it to the relevant shortcut box.
Just my humble proposal to resolve the problem of people linking to a shortcut thinking it leads somewhere expected when in reality it leads somewhere else entirely (some recent examples: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oliver Isaacs, [1], User talk:Serial Number 54129/Archive 11, User talk:KrakatoaKatie/Archive 52).

- Maybe RfD is a better venue to discuss this? Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 12:14, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- Not sure about the venue, but retargeting WP:UPE sounds like a good idea to me. Rentier (talk) 18:04, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not a fan of creating more and more shortcuts for the same destination. Because commenters often use the unadorned shortcut in prose instead of using readable link text, readers have to remember more and more synonyms for the same target. isaacl (talk) 18:18, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- undeclared paid editing is a problem that cannot be expressed otherwise. The need to use plain english can be said in many equivalent ways. I think it therefore best for UPE to redirect to the editing; if we need a redirect for the English style, there's PLAIN. DGG ( talk ) 03:53, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
- Redirect yep, agreed above; recently I used UPE in an AfD discussion and a reply thought I was talking about the fact that the article wasn't written in plain English (which of course it was, so they must have thought I was a bit odd). jcc (tea and biscuits) 11:19, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
- Redirect I kind-of dislike this yet another new acronym, but I was a bit confused when people started using it and since they are . . . there you go. -- Alanscottwalker (talk) 17:50, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
Please remove this bump once WP:UPE has been transitioned. Bumping thread for 1000 days. Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 17:43, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
"My" Wikipage.
Hello - this is truly the real Dr. Cynthia Ross Friedman here. I did NOT set up my own Wikipedia page, contrary to what is being stated. I also notice a student tried to have the page removed by calling me a "fraud", etc., etc. None of what he said (and I know it is a he) is true aside from the fact that it did take me 8 years to do my Ph.D. Mr. Anonymous (hello, I could see your IP) has never been my student and had learned everything from a few disgruntled students. What Mr. Anonymous has done is make a very real attempt at defamation; either please remove all attempts of his edits from the public or remove him (his IP) for attempted defamation.

- Without knowing the details of this case, I am going to link to this comment at Talk:Cynthia Ross Friedman, and at WP:BLPN. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:23, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
COI disclosure by IP sufficient?
In Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2018 March 25, we have an IP editor disclosing their COI (quote: In the interest of COI, I should make clear that I am a paid representative of Komodo). Is that really sufficient disclosure? It certainly meets the goal of alerting everybody that the writer of the specific comment is biased. But, it seems like we also should have a stable user account attached to the comments so we can know what other edits that person has made. Thoughts? -- RoySmith (talk) 14:05, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
