User talk:FreeRangeFrog/Archive 14Apologies on Taburu TuilagiDear Free Range Frog, It has come to my attention that my account was hacked and I just realized you were on the end of some nasty abuse. I would like to say that that was not me saying hate and I'm sorry that it came from my account. I am starting a new fresh account and hopefully I will not got hacked again! Is there anything I can do to trace the hackers? Many thanks, omgainsley3. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omgainsley3 (talk • contribs) 16:28, 26 May 2015 (UTC) QuestionLast month, you decided a keep on Presumptive Nominee. It is good that you had comments and suggestions rather than a "The result is keep". Here's my problem. Let me analyze the consensus.... Borock: keep reason is because there are references. No, not a good reason. David Gerard: beyond dictionary definition. No, it isn't JayJasper: per above two. Not a good reason. Used in the media. Also not a good reason, not establishing notability. The word "the" is use but is not an article. The Obama kids are in the media a lot, much more than Presumptive Nominee, but they are not an article. Above....3 users Deepavali 2014: definitions article and also no references about the history of the term Rhodedendron: dictionary definition and gives example. Also says references don't say about the term, just use the word. me (Dharahara): detailed explanation. It seems to me that the reasons given for deletion are more sound than keep and that the keep people, with weak reasons, don't outnumber the deletes. Even merge/redirect would be better (and if so, I promise to improve the Candidate article to include mention of the term). Also, basically, the users voting for delete address the issues raised by the keep voters. However, the keep voters do not address and are unable to address the delete issues because they don't have a leg to stand on. Thank you in advance for your discussion and not being a dictator or not considering the matter. Dharahara (talk) 17:27, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Help with BLP noticeboard postingPer my last comment at Reliable source question, I asked if an experienced editor (would you please help…you welcomed me to Wikipedia) to kindly advise me on the process of posting this citation for review on the BLP Noticeboard. I'm doing my best to understand Wikipedia policy, but there are subtleties and protocol I'm only gleaning from participating in discussions, and making missteps as I go along. This citation is an article about a living person, it does not identify sources, there are no corroborating sources, and there is controversy about the article's reliability. By my read of WP:BLP policy, that falls short of its reliability standards. But, WP:BLP also notes that care should be taken in posting on the BLP Noticeboard, including in some cases not making a public posting at all. I'd like to be respectful of that and also not make missteps on the BLP Noticeboard. I would be grateful if you could help me with some suggestions on how to proceed. Thank you.Starkcasted (talk) 15:57, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Sawdust Art FestivalDear FreeRangeFrog, would you please consider taking out the two warning boxes at the top of the Sawdust Art Festival Wikipedia page? One is a COI tag, the other is an advert tag. In response to these concerns, the creator and main editor of the page (not me) removed two categories and all the text in them, as well as one external link. I will admit that my previously published writing has been used as a reference in this piece. And I did add one of the categories (on Winter Fantasy). But that category has since been removed, and my contributions now are actually very minor, mostly grammatical clean-ups, which appear to be OK according to Wikipedia guidelines. Thank you very much for your consideration. Do let me know if you have any questions. Richiechang2002 (talk) 07:13, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

QuestionIs this part of the secret perks of admin? Last time I checked that's not your talkpage and not your comments. Being an admin, checkuser, arb etc does not make you special or give you special editing rights. Would you like to revert yourself and let Bbb23 take care of things? It's well within their scope and I dare say ability to handle. They don't need your protections. I'll point out that WP:TPO states "Cautiously editing or removing another editor's comments is sometimes allowed, but normally you should stop if there is any objection". I am objecting.

Chris "Zeuss" HarrisHello FRF! I noticed the Wiki page for producer Chris "Zeuss" Harris has been deleted. I'd like to help get it back up, with whatever fixes are necessary. Please note that when one enters "ZEUSS" or "Chris Zeuss Harris" into the Wiki search engine, numerous results emerge, as he's mentioned in multiple entries on rock albums and bands. He's produced record with Rob Zombie, Hatebreed, The Murderdolls, and another of other notable acts, and there are Wiki entries on many of his rock producer peers. Here's some backup to what I'm saying: <ref>http://www.allmusic.com/artist/zeuss-mn0001833532</ref> <ref>http://www.discogs.com/artist/270424-Zeuss</ref><ref>http://zeuss.virb.com</ref> I'm guessing the previous entry lacked sources and/or proper formatting.

Thanks Casseb (talk) 23:47, 9 June 2015 (UTC) Linking rulesI am not fully on board with your advice at the teahouse Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions#linking_from_Wikipedia_articles_to_draft_article. Rather than debate it there I thought I would discuss it with you here to see if I'm missing something. If I am missing something and your advice is fine there will be no need to modify the teahouse answer but if I persuade you, then a nice clean adjustment to the advice can be made. I agree that articles in main space should not have links to articles in draft space. However, your advice suggested that the reverse is also true; that articles in draft space should not have links to articles in main space. If we adopt that literally it means that all articles in draft should have no links and links should not be added until the draft is moved to main space. I don't believe that is our recommended practice. Do you disagree?--S Philbrick(Talk) 17:06, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Question re: suspicious null editsHey, I just wanted to ask you something as an admin and you're the first name I picked from ANI-- on the Ratchet & Clank article, I've seen a couple IPs going in and making some weird edits over the last few weeks-- either completely null 1-character back-and-forth reverts, or just one-word changes in a bunch of unnecessary consecutive edits. I'm not sure if it constitutes obvious vandalism to justify a warning or an AIV report, as I'm willing to consider it could be a newbie to WP experimenting with editing... It's obviously not to speed up autoconfirmation, so the only other reason I can imagine is to give the appearance of an established contrib list, but since I'm not really sure about what should be done, and it seemed all-around suspect or at least annoying, I thought I'd ask. What's your take on it? The IPs I've noticed doing this as far as the article history goes are 95.66.147.254 and 171.249.165.133. BlusterBlaster beepboop 14:57, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
MetaProp NYC article speedy deletionHi FreeRangeFrog, The page I wrote up, MetaProp NYC, was speedily deleted and I believe it was because it was thought to be advertising for the company. I'm not sure why and what was written that made it seem to be advertising the company; I simply wanted to write a description of the venture capital that wasn't already on Wikipedia. Can you please let me know what needs to be changed and how I can get the editing for my article back so I can fix whatever it is that made it deleted. MetaProp NYC is the #1 real estate technology accelerator that recently opened applications for its 2015/2016 class of 8 startups. It has been in the news: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/16/metaprop-nyc-launch-idUSnPn7lMxdB+89+PRN20150616?irpc=932 . It also has its own website, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. In no way was I trying to advertise the company and I would like to change whatever it is in the article that I need to change in order to let the page be public. Please let me know what I have to do to make MetaProp NYC's Wikipedia page public. Thank you, Slyandvert 173.70.36.93 (talk) 18:39, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Page Deleted - Believe it's an errorHi, The page for the organization I work for, NewTV in Newton, MA was deleted by you on July 11. I believe this was in error as it was an information page and the reason cited was that the page was purely for advertisement. I'd like the page to be restored. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me. If you found a particular part of it did not meet guidelines, please let me know. Thank You,

Revisiting Peter Hancock (CEO)Hi FreeRangeFrog! Hope you're doing well. I was wondering if you had a minute to look over some changes I've made to Hancock's BLP in my sandbox. I was looking over some of the references and found conflicting information about whether he was hired to AIG Financial Products or AIG itself, and after some research realized that he was hired directly to AIG. Additionally, he is no longer on the board of the Japan Society. Here's the diff. Thanks!--FacultiesIntact (talk) 20:55, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
Need admin eyesHi FreeRange! Many thanks for your recent support. :) Unrelated to that, I'm picking you at random in an administrative capacity. I'm involved in a discussion at Talk:Balochistan, Pakistan. I know nothing about this region or their politics, blah blah. I became aware of Balochistan a while ago in my capacity as a gnome. About a month ago I noticed some edit warring between a couple of IP editors. One of the IPs was trying to add sourced content to the article about human rights concerns in the province, content that seemed reasonable to include, but others kept reverting it. The IP started a RfC and I subsequently notified a few WikiProjects like Human Rights, Pakistan, Geography to get outside comments in case we had a situation where page regulars were inappropriately trying to suppress content. But of course, the IP turned out to be a sock operator, so after
Response from Stephen J. Lawrence (AKA Stephen Lawrence)Thank you for the opportunity to answer your questions. I am a self-employed composer. I have freelanced all my life. I simply do not have time to write, for example, to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences to ask them to "verify" that they awarded to me three Emmy Awards and countless Emmy nominations, and, I wouldn't know whom to write to. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awarded me three Gold Records but, again, I wouldn't know whom to write to ask them to verify this. And I don't have time to write to all the movie studios and television networks (and wouldn't know whom to write to) to ask them to verify that I scored television shows and movies for them. Although it would be embarrassing to me, I could write to Marlo Thomas and ask her to verify that she gave me the following quote for the Endorsements page of my Website: “I’ve worked with Stephen several times in television and records. He composed some of my favorite songs for my children’s album and television special “Free To Be…You And Me,” and wonderful music for my TV movie “It Happened One Christmas.” – Marlo Thomas I could write to Sheldon Harnick, legendary Broadway lyricist (Fiddler On The Roof and many others) to ask him to verify that he gave me this quote for the Endorsements page on my Website: "Stephen invited me to provide the lyrics for an animated half-hour version of “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” for HBO, starring Carol Burnett. I’m awfully glad I did because it was a joyous collaboration and, if I say so myself, we came up with a delightful score!" -Sheldon Harnick. Regarding the photo of me, Mary Lou Williams, and George Wallington, my father paid the photographer and I inherited ownership of the photo when he died. I never knew the name of the photographer. Mary Lou Williams and George Wallington are also deceased. I asked my Website designer to write the Wikipedia page with my guidance out of desperation. For example, The IMDb (Internet Movie Database) has a GREAT DEAL of incorrect information about me. I have tried many times to correct this but it was so complicated and difficult that I gave up. Perhaps this will help: I have a rather elaborate website (StephenLawrenceMusic.com). Click on "Photos". This page includes photos of me with many of the celebrities I have worked with. It also includes reviews, including some from The New York Times, which mention my name. If you would like more information, please write to me and I will do my best to answer your questions. redacted Thank you for taking the time to read this message. Stephen J.

Signpost paid editingDo you have any interest in writing two paragraphs about paid editing for the SignPost? I offered to help put something together that's a collection of two-paragraph viewpoints that answer two questions: What is the overall effect of paid editing on the project and what can be done to handle it better. The idea is that a lot of the Signpost stories on paid editing are written by editors with strong opinions, extreme views, or financial interests, and I wanted something a little more balanced and reasonable. Editors with strong views are never ideal in article-space either! What I've started on is located here if you have the time/interest. CorporateM (Talk) 15:16, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

It would be a photo that relates to the Wikipedia article. I had another editor tell me not to use any of their stored images on Wikipedia Commons (and I have not done this), I didn't even know about them until they contacted me about an edit I'd made on some random article, it was not an edit to a photograph, just some text. I was just wondering if I could add the link to this image on a Wikipedia article. Or are photos that someone uploads to Wikipedia Commons only for use by the person who uploaded them? Neptune's Trident (talk)
FreeRangeFrog, please refrain from giving others permission to use my pictures of René Bazinet, without my consent. Neptune's Trident and NeilN, common courtesy and consideration should be exercised in such cases and the ownership of a photographer’s work should be respected. I had previously composed and posted a comprehensive profile/bio, of René, only to experience others making inappropriate edits and finally being notified by an administrator that due to a lack of published references it didn’t meet Wikipedia standards, in any event. I had originally added the images, which are copyrighted, to accompany my composition, but was under the misconception that others could only use them with my permission. The policies regarding permission and image utilization were ambiguously stated and I did not interpret them correctly, as it turned out. Neither was I aware that once they were added to Wikimedia I relinquished the opportunity to remove them, from that site. However, after a talk with my lawyer, who assured me that your organization is not entitled to keep them, rather than file a contentious lawsuit in order to protect my work - by demanding their removal - I decided not to press the issue. I’m sure you can understand why I wouldn’t want my photographic work to be used by unauthorized people to represent their text, especially, after I deleted all of my unappreciated contributions from the René Bazinet page. Thanking you all, in advance, for honoring my wishes regarding the use of the René Bazinet images, I took of him, without my express approval.

Box Hockey - Not Constructive EditHi. You removed my edit to Box Hockey At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Box hockey, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. and I don't understand why. I added information about the box hockey product manufactured by International Sports Corporation, essentially not much different in content to the one on Box Hockey International. As there are only two companies in North America manufacturing box hockey products and they are significantly different I don't understand why my addition would be considered 'not constructive'. I added some new content with references, and edited for brevity, and added a photo under the modern equipment heading to the best of my ability. I'm new to this and don't want to contravene any rules / policies so if you can tell me how best to correct the content so it might be considered 'constructive' I'd be happy to hear.

Bear with me (video game) deletionHi FreeRangeFrog, I'd like to know how to improve the Bear with me (video game) article without getting it deleted. The previous writer (from our studio) didn't respect the guideline, and I'd want to improve the article as much as I can. There is without a doubt enough information about this game to ensure it's existence on wikipedia, due to the fact that the very same game was previously released as an Alpha version. Considering this information, I conclude that it could be considered as an almost-done product, still half-through the production and on it's way to a final release. There is a quite big amount of information my colleague forgot to mention or was poorly written, leading to it's deletion. If you have any suggestions on how to improve this article or give an exact reason why it shouldn't exist, feel free to respond. --PetraStev (talk) 22:24, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Edit warGreetings. In the article about Chicken, Alaska, an IP user has started an edit war with Gilliam, and others. The IP user has clearly violated 3RR (by repeatedly deleting sourced material) but I didn't see any notice regarding 3RR on the IP user's talk page, so I just placed one there myself a while ago using the uw-3rr template. I am hopeful that the 3rr notice will suffice to stop the IP user from edit-warring, but the situation needs to be monitored. I would do it myself and simply report the user to the appropriate noticeboard if the disruptive editing continues, but I am actually on a semi-wikibreak for work-related reasons and will likely not be back on Wikipedia for a few days, or very often through the end of August.

As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

Waiting for a replyFreeRangeFrog: This Model Mugging again regarding evidence of self-promotion and COI regarding attack on us by competitor. I reviewed your page and see other issues people are having with site vandalism, securing sites, site removal, reliable sources, harassment, good faith, reliability of sources, and edit wars. I have identified tag teaming efforts of Nefariousski in latest Impact Self-Defense attack against us. She is loaded with hypocritical contradictions such as COI, biographies of living persons, lack of editing balance, failure of editing in a NPOV, disregard to consensus for disputes, using an unreliable source to make libel-slanderous statements. She is involved in a campaign to promote a competitor, Impact Self-Defense. Impact group has repeated a misquoted a training incident that occurred 30 years ago from a tabloid magazine written by Peri. American Press Association Principles of Journalism identifies journalism‘s first obligation is to the truth, and also discipline of verification…as listed on the APA website. Nefariousski’s sole source is an article that violates the APA’s principles. This source also falls into Wikipedia tabloid journalism definition and sensationalism. Nefariousski and other writers insist on using the term ‘sexual assault’, which is not used in the article. Even after you corrected Nefariousski about her inappropriateness of using the term “sexual assault”, she insisted on using it. Additional editors have also changed the current line to be even more inaccurate. However, ‘rumor’ is used numerous times. Peri writes, “The staff of Women Defending Ourselves had finally begun to feel empowered, but it was a passive sort of empowerment, based on whispers and rumor campaigns instead of direct confrontation.” A 25 + year old rumor campaign is exactly what Nefariousski as Impact are doing! How is this single source thereby reliable - Mother Jones was not a major publication in 1990, especially when publishing admitted rumors and is loaded with misinformation? Nefariousski planned to link the Wikipedia ESD page to a derogatory Model Mugging Wikipedia page highlighting a tabloid source written with accusation heading, “controversy”. Impact also wrote a promotional page and pasted it into her Sandbox. They are also getting around Wikipedia rules against self-promotion using Wikipedia search engine ranking by keeping their page in the sandbox status - FIRST PAGE on search results for "Empowerment Self-Defense". PLEASE CLICK the pdf link as evidence to view images in summary report of her COI campaign promoting Impact Self-Defense: http://modelmugging.org/history/impact-self-defense-wikipedia-attack.pdf Is this nefarious behavior? Should she be blocked and all her edits scrutinized? Does Wikipedia see a problem with hypocritical editor(s)? I had written a response in Model Mugging Talk prior to discovering the ESD page. We need the Model Mugging site corrected. We need protection from other Impact organizational associates tag teaming inaccurate edits, or better yet remove Model Mugging from Wikipedia all together.

This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image. 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".

As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA.

Extended confirmed protectionHello, FreeRangeFrog. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. Notification of imminent suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivityFollowing a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next several days. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA.
