User talk:Rjd0060/Archives


Hello

Hi, I just like to say hi to people who don't have discussions on their talk page. I'm Seth71. Seth71 14:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

veto

I will check the veto page, but do you know when the veto ceremoney takes place.

  • Last week it was about 2:30 their time...I dont know where you are but thats 5:30 EST.

Dang, I was hoping it would be at noon, and I only have the computer till 4:30 and I live in Ohio. Seth71 14:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Well it could always be earlier. You never know. Do you check any of the Live Feed update pages? I use this one. It gets updated often.

It takes place between 1-3

User Page

You should create a user page so that people can learn a bit about you. Since you don't have a user page that is why when you put your name on a discussion page your name is in red, everyone else with a user page is in blue. You can check out my user page it's not much, but it's alright. Just click on my name, if it goes to the talk page go to the top where it says user page and click on it. Seth71 15:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Did you give me there's a sucker born every minute page. Seth71 15:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

No. Wasnt me. Rjd0060 16:06, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Problem with a page

I created an AfD discussion for it, it seems to be entirely POV. You can comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/US Channels DirecTV Needs. Simply explain your reasoning, and we'll try to come to a consensus about what to do with the article. Hope that helps, Nihiltres(t.l) 22:57, 18 August 2007 (UTC) (cross-posted)

Big Brother 8

Good work Rjd0060 :) BB8 has been semi-protected - zachinthebox (User • Talk) 22:24, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Excellent, is there anyway to get it protected until closer to the finale? - zachinthebox (User • Talk) —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 22:42:34, August 19, 2007 (UTC).
Well, the first time I tried to request the semiprotect, I used WP:TW, and I put that I wanted it to last for 1 month. That didnt work, so I manually added the request to WP:RFP but didn't specify an amount of time. I guess we have to wait until this one expires, see if it still happens (probably will) and then ask for another semiprotect. (Cross Posted) - Rjd0060 22:49, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Alright, sounds good. Great work! - zachinthebox (User • Talk) 22:52, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Chute Boxe edit

Sorry about that. I usually try to remember that. I'll keep that in mind.Unak78 17:29, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

America's Player

Oh, no problem. I don't know how many time's I've reverted it to TBA. It's very frustrating to keep seeing it as Completed, when the issue has been debated and TBA is the only way that is sure to be right. But now that it's Semi-protected at least we can explain why it's TBA. Happy editing, zachinthebox (User • Talk) 23:04, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

America's Player

  • 1) I will not change the wording for "vote to evict" and "get evicted" even though it provides consistency because it is the way CBS worded it officially.
  • 2) Even though we are 100% that "who should Eric vote to evict" will be the next AP task, you are right, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.
  • 3) Every Big Brother website (i.e. hamsterwatch, jokers, reality insiders) admit Eric has completed at least 13 tasks and as of his revelation last night possibly even 15 though it is ambiguous where the last two came from. Please to not revert back to TBD as that would clearly be wrong.

-Comedy240 00:13, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Umm, excuse me but you are way out of line. I never reverted anything anyone did AFTER your comment on my wall (I've made three edits to the Big Brother page, only one after you wrote on my wall). I thought providing all sides of an argument that can be backed by sources was what Wikipedia was about but apparently I was wrong. I don't see how my most recent edit to the Big Brother 8 is wrong at all except that it is against YOUR point of view. Please explain to me while I can't add to what you have (mis-)written when I have a source and while I try to explain why some including Eric believe Eric completed certain tasks. I would greatly appreciate if you removed your incorrectly placed tag on my wall after you look and see I never reverted anything you or anyone else did after you asked me once not too. Comedy240 02:17, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry, I thought we weren't allowed to make wikipedia pages our babies where only wikipedians opinions matter, but I guess I was wrong. I'm not going to contribute to the BB8 page anymore as I don't feel like helping something that is incorrect and a complete mess. I'll keep to American politics where I can just write in data and prose and not have to deal with people who have been here less than a fortnight. I know I am not allowed to write other people's opinions besides yours, you might find these outside sources valueble, but then again probably not because you haven't in the past.
  • Jokersupdates (the largest BBUSA fan web site) says Eric has completed 13/19 tasks [1]
  • RealityInsiders (another fan web site) says Eric has completed 8/19 tasks [2]
  • Eric claims to have completed 15/19 tasks. [3] -Comedy240 15:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
TBA is the consensus because is an encyclopedia for factual information. CBS, the topmost source for this article, has dropped the ball with America's Player tasks by not clearly announcing the rules and/or results. All of these so-called "Big Brother websites" are all run by fans, i.e. not credible. All the editors want Wikipedia to be as reliable and accurate as possible and if it means leaving a few unknown tasks at "TBA" for a little while, so be it. Thanks. (Also posted to Comedy240's talk page) - zachinthebox (User • Talk) 15:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Comedy240, to gloat is not nice. Anyway, CBS just put that up because of all the misunderstandings. Now that is a reliable source. But the ones you posted before where not. It was never clear which ones he did complete, or not before CBS confirmed just now. So again, don't gloat, it's disruptive. Thanks.- Jeeny Talk 16:16, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Veto

I am unsure about the Veto I always thought that the Veto image stayed with the winner until the end of the week. I could be wrong ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 21:35, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Sure a discussion couldn't hurt. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 21:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

ok

Points matched with yours

  • 1) I see your point, I think what I added deserved to be mentioned to provide a true neutral viewpoint, but it did not have to be there, I could have added a subsection about the various counts the majority of fan web sites believe counted.
  • 2) I accept your apology, and will not bring it up again, and I admit I was more offended than I should be but when someone puts one of those on your userpage and you are 100% sure you are innocent you will get ticked a little too.
  • 3) My third edit where I sourced video from the official CBS feeds that showed Eric saying he completed 15 out of the first 19 tasks which any one that understands addition and subtraction would see he believed he completed those 4 TBD tasks. (PS, I'm not saying you can't do math, I'm saying that when we know he completed or failed the rest for a fact and he claims to have completed more than we had listed, than it has to be that Eric believes he completed the tasks we view as TBD). I understand there was a group consensus that they should be TBD, but I thought the minority opinion could be stated on the main article in a note as long as I found a good source (Eric himself actually).
  • 4) I didn't realize there was stuff on the talk page (it was archived because of the constant bickering on said page), and I'm sorry for not looking through the archives, and I'm sorry for making you revert me the one time I changed his tasks to completed when the group consensus was TBD.
  • 5) I haven't done anything for the Big Brother pages besides inventing the current voting history table last season, while you revert all the negative comments about the disliked HGs like Amber, Daniele, and Dustin. Comedy240 —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 17:25, August 22, 2007 (UTC).

reply

  • 1) Resolved
  • 2) Resolved
  • 3) Actually there is one small problem, CBS.com has task 3 listed as complete while my tivo'ed episode #5(?) has CBS buzzing and infatically saying Eric failed the task to nominate Jessica. Which is more official, CBS.com or an episode of Big Brother. I would personally think the episode because the producers help edit the episodes but leave the web site to the network, but I think this should be discussed.
  • 4) Resolved

You lost me

I don't what an edit summary is, you'll have to explain it to me. I've been making hundreds of Wikipedia edits and I've never done it once. So ya, you'll have to explain the problem. - Spyke1077 02:37, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for explaining that, Rjd. I'll try to remember to do that. - Spyke1077 04:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Spoilers

Quick question, I can't seem to find the discussions you were referring to, can you point them out for me? Axem Titanium 19:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Ummmmm... no sarcasm intended? Anyway, you are aware of the current incarnation of the spoiler guideline? It suggests that spoiler tags are not necessary if a current fiction template (such as {{Future television episode}}) already appears at the top of the article. It also strongly opposes placing a tag at the very top of the article. Axem Titanium 01:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Note from Chrismaster1

By the way, I undid ur revision because the talk page for Big Brother is not only to talk about ways to make the article better, but to also talk about the show that's why its called a Talk Page! So quit posting threatening messages on my talk page!!!!!!!! Chrismaster1 14:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Confusion on FCC Big Brother discussion

Sorry if I confused you, I meant the CBS message boards for Big Brother was where the "FCC statement" was posted/faked. I wasn't saying that Wikipedia is a message board. Wikipedia IS an encyclopedia. So, ya, just to clarify. - Spyke1077 04:33, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, sorry. I knew a minute after I posted that you probably weren't talking to me. Oh well, lol - Spyke1077 17:38, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Argument with Wanzhen

I agree with everything you have said as well. That was not directed towards yourself. I was saying that that discussion needed to end, and I named you and a couple of other people personally because you had made a couple of good, smart comments. I mentioned Alucard as well. We were all just people that were contributing frequently. No disrespect, man. I feel stupid yelling at someone on the internet. I shouldn't have to argue over something to someone I don't know, so I shouldn't have fought with Wanzhen. But he was starting to go overboard. So was I. I will no longer be contributing to that section of the talk page. I hope no one else does. Don't take my comment personally, because it isn't. That was for everyone. Even though I mentioned you, I don't accuse you of any wrong doings. You have been here WAY longer than I have and you know way more about what you are doing that I am. So I apologize that you took offense. While I don't need to argue about something with someone I don't know, I feel that I should apologize to you because you have been nothing but nice to me. Where Wanzen just came out of the blue and wrote this stuff, I just got angry. I don't want anyone else getting worked up over that discussion so it's over for me, and I hope it's over for you and everyone else. I am going to be taking a break from the Big Brother talk page for a while, until someone starts up a new discussion. Thanks for reading all that, stay cool - Spyke1077 23:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Overstated

Saying "Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with the page Big Brother 8 (US) on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed." simply because you disagree with an edit is obnoxious. Wryspy 02:02, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Does it matter whether or not you come across as condescending like you're talking down to a newbie or a vandal? Yes. Yes, it does. When you can't find script to match, just use undo and type a simple edit summary. Wryspy 02:05, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Final observation: Looking over your talk page, it looks like I'm not the only one who feels you have addressed people like they were newbies or vandals. I hope you meant what you said about keeping my thoughts in mind, although the bold face on opinion (like I don't know my opinion is my opinion?) conveys a different impression.

Re: BB AP again

The way I was doing it was based on standard English (0-9 are written as "zero" through "nine" and 10+ written with digits), but I'm thinking that we should make it all digits, just so that the amounts are easily found - zachinthebox (User • Talk) 20:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Big Brother (US) to GA status?

I posted this on the main page but I doubt that many people check it during BB8 but do you think that Big Brother (US) can get GA status? I think a peer review would be good but I am confused by the whole thing and don't understand it. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 16:17, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

RE: PoV page

I voted to keep it because if that is deleted people are just going to try to post it back to the main article and then it would ruin the slightest chance of Big Brother (US) becoming GA. I don't know what to do because if it is deleted people are going to be putting all the trivia and stuff in the main article again. I am surprised that anon users haven't already *knock on wood*. In the event it is deleted I should find a way to put mention of the silver and golden vetos. Right now in the main article the basics are only covered. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 17:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I managed to add that the veto was originally silver and nominees couldn't use it on themselves and that the Golden PoV replaced the Silver PoV and is now the standard Veto. I also added that nominees could use it on themselves. This is incase the PoV page is deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alucard 16 (talk • contribs) 17:55, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Nissan Cube

Hello, I am 58.28.148.104. You recently reverted one of my edits on the Nissan Cube's talk page. I am unaware of the fact that Wikipedia allows letters of such a kind on it's discussion pages. Correct me if I am wrong, but it doesn't contribute to the discussion in any constructive form. Not to mention that the person who wrote the letter did not leave his name. I know this can be found on the history page but his letter was of no value to the discussion. Please explain your revert and why you chose to warn me, as I do not consider it to be vandalism. I am new to the community so if I am wrong please be a little more understanding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.28.148.104 (talk) 03:09, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Regarding POV page

Sorry if I did something wrong, I though Adria's last name was Montgomery? Or Klein, or maybe both. At least that's what it says in the Big Brother 5 article. I thought Okins was the fake name she used before the twin twist was revaled. Sorry. - 99.243.247.227 22:11, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I definetely see your point. That makes so much sense. I only did that to match the season's article, but you are right. Thanks for the clarification. - 99.243.247.227 22:59, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

What did I do?

Hi there. You sent me a message that I had vandalized the Monica Gellar article, but I am very confused as to how I am supposed to have done that. All I did was change it to present tense, which is exactly what you are supposed to do with articles on fictional characters. It's really not helpful when someone makes a big, scary accusation of vandalism without explaining the reasons for the charge. Treybien 04:00, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Question

I'm new here at Wikipedia and I can't find any moderators. I added and fixed some things to the Big Brother page and someone named user:Alucard 16 keeps removing the things I add, even though they are correct. Like I added that the live feeds are provided by Real Networks and that they are blocked when houseguests discuss their Diary Rooms sessions and he took it out. I really don't appreciate it. Is there anyway to stop people from removing information that is accurate? I know I'm a newbie on Wikipedia, but I am an expert on Big Brother U.S. -- watched every single season and subscribed to the live feeds -- and I know what I'm talking about. Maybe I just don't understand how Wikipedia works? --Teehee11 02:40, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Reply

I don't really think it's a good idea to add the strategies section for each season, because there would be a lot of repeats. I'd have to add backdooring, for example, to seasons five, six, seven and eight. Is there any chance of an article stub or whatever you call it? An article with its own page that links back to the main page? It wouldn't clutter the main page but it will still allow us to span the strategies of Big Brother, in general. I don't know who I need to get permission from, but to me it sounds reasonable. There are more strategies I was going to add. And in future seasons, I'm sure new strategies will arise! --Teehee11 18:45, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: William cormier

Because it is unnecessary to delete the redirect. Having such redirects ease the navigation (well, when they are not double redirects of course, I fixed that one for you) by making it easier to search for the name. Moreover, redirects are cheap in terms of server storage, in the MediaWiki software (there used to be a page about that but I can't find it). -- lucasbfr talk 22:26, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Survivor/Big Brother winner notability

If the Dick Donato article gets restored, whichever of you relist it for AfD would probably be more effective if you tackle the issue rather than the individual article. I recommend listing all non-notable Big Brother and Survivor winners as a single AfD. You should save yourselves a lot of trouble in the long run by dealing with them all at once instead of one at a time. You'd also establish a more clearcut precedent than a single article's deletion could achieve. That precedent can be used to make subsequent related AfDs go much more smoothly. Travislangley 00:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

The admin relisted it. One of you ought to charge in and proceed with checking how to list all of the non-notable winners as one group AfD to make sure this really gets dealt with. An admin would then close the relisted Dick Donato AfD because of it being part of a group under more appropriate discussion elsewhere. Travislangley 03:09, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Create a new one including Dick Donato and all others -- soon, before the Donato thing grows much. It's better to address the issue as a whole instead of having one deleted here but another survive there. It would be screwy to get everything except Donato's deleted. Nominate the group, and then ask the admin to close the Donato discussion because it's now part of a larger group on nominations. Like I said before, addressing the issue works better than attacking one article alone, and establishes precedent. Travislangley 03:13, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
There's a ton of precedent and closing an individual AfD or CfD to open a group nomination is how I usually see it done, but I'd have to wade through a zillion old AfD and especially CfD nominations to find examples. If you'd asked the person who started the new AfD to close it so you could reopen as a group nom, that might have done it for you. Better yet, if you were already planning to do the new AfD yourself, you should have preemptively posted a notice at the deletion review stating that you needed to be the one to create the relisted nomination. Opening it yourself would have been stronger because you could have started with reasons for deletion instead of a balanced, "So, people, what do you think? Which way should it go?" kind of thing like the other guy has done. At this point, it doesn't really matter anyway. The AfDs are already in motion. Shoester 18:55, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
I know this might sound biased because we voted differently, but seriously, that's not what this is about because I'm okay whichever way that AfD goes: Commenting so many times on the same AfD can come across like you're trying to shove your opinion down other people's throats instead of letting everybody else speak. If someone makes a vague comment like that one person's non-explanation, regular AfD editors and certainly the closing admin will see that. Posting so many comments can actually cause people to underestimate the number of people who also posted comments along the same lines because some readers will blend them together as if a single person said them all. Also, posting more than one comment with the same point (about Wryspy's weird crystal ball thing) can make people underestimate the variety of comments that have been made. Shoester 19:01, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Re: Keep - As explained up there. BigCoop 09:06, 26 September 2007 (UTC) Comment: Sorry, but that is not really helpful. This is not a ballot and there are no "votes", so your "input" (or lack of) would have had the same effect if you hadn't even added it to the page. - Rjd0060 18:37, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Actually, comments like "keep per so-and-so's argument" or "delete per above" are common in AfD and CfD discussions. They're not votes. Rather, they assert that someone agrees with points that have already been made, thereby showing support. That matters to admins. Admins usually (though certainly not always) close based on consensus rather than by evaluating the specific points themselves. When you say, "This isn't a vote," you're right, of course, but by saying so, you've actually pointed out the amount of agreement for a position contrary to your own. New people weighing in on the AfD or CfD don't have to make brand new points any more than you do (although repeating yourself really does water down your own arguments). Arguing with each individual who disagrees with you just makes you seem argumentative, which actually weakens the arguments you have made. When you've made good, strong points (and from what I've seen, you frequently have), I really recommend against making them look like they're so weak that you must continually defend them.

Speedy deletion of Antec

Listen, I understand you're trying to get things done quickly, however, if you had taken the four seconds it would've required to Google 'Antec,' you would've easily found they are an actual, notable company. Don't go around marking articles for deletion just because you don't know what they are. Charles 03:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

"Before nominating an article for speedy deletion, consider whether it could be improved or reduced to a stub; if so, speedy deletion is probably inappropriate. Contributors sometimes create articles over several edits, so try to avoid deleting a page too soon after its creation if it appears incomplete." It would've been far more effective for you to consider actually contributing to a 100% relevant article rather than to mark it for deletion. In addition, you expect me to have to defend my article's "notability" before I've even spent five minutes on it? If there is an actual debatable reason for my article's relevance I would be glad to defend it's position; however, in this case you obviously marked it in error and ignorance, and in that case I refuse to have to explain my position rather than just adding to the article and moving on. Charles 17:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Replied on the users talk page - Rjd0060 18:48, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Beside the fact that you completely ignored my quote of the actual deletion policy, which states that it is inappropriate to consider an article for deletion if it can be improved, I don't think there is a better way to describe you than a bureaucratic tool. If you had any knowledge at all, or any will to do research, you would know that Antec is a very well known company. The "See also" section of my page lists many case companies that are far less well known than Antec that all have their own articles. The fact that I don't have the resources to expand upon an article does not mean it should be deleted, it simply means it should be added to. What's the point of everyone being able to edit Wikipedia, if I have to write the entire article first? Charles 19:44, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Personally I don't appreciate your vendetta against my article. Get off your high horse and do something useful. Charles 19:52, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Ghosttown, Oakland, California

You might want to visit this article again. When you voted for deletion, you may have been misled by the nominator, who deleted the article's source before nominating it for deletion. The article now has four sources. You may recall it was nominated on the grounds of being unreferenced. Best Regards. Anlace 03:47, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Egyegy's PA

I did not, and have not included a personal attack on my userpage nor my talk page against User:Egyegy. What I had on my user page and talk page were backed up with links to the issue of my blocks and were true statements that anyone could check out. I don't appreciate that you equate me with Egyegy who is evading a community ban and has many sockpuppets and only edits in a very hostile tone. And he has slandered me on his talk page and user page. He is a sockpuppet of the banned User:Verdict, check on that! I am so pissed off by these vandals and those who are intentionally hostile because they "don't like it", and those who create an atmosphere of hostility and lies so others quit. I will never come back again. Trust that! Also, I am by no means prejudice against different ethnicities. I embrace all, yet I am prejudiced against assholes. As assholes come in all colors, creeds and nationalities. Good luck. Jeeny 00:26, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

PS: Please stop threatening people with blocks it makes the situation that much worse. Thanks. Jeeny 00:30, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
As far as your first comment, I am looking into it so I'd rather not reply until I have my information double checked. As far as blocks, I am doing what Wikipedia provides, and that is block warnings. I see nothing wrong with that. The people who get the warnings are the ones who "make the situations worse". Jeeny, hopefully you know that I have nothing against you and appreciate all of your help since I've been here and its a shame that this had to happen but I did see comments from you that could be considered personal attacks. - Rjd0060 00:34, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry. My anger was not personally against you at all. It is frustration. Not against you. I said "this place" not you. I'm sorry you chose to report me, when you knew it only made me more upset the last time. Stay sane. Goodbye. I like you, and have nothing against you. Peace. Jeeny 02:53, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I would hope not. I am not doing anything different in your case as I would do with anybody that I didn't know, and thats try to prevent continuous and repeated vandalism / vulgarness or any edits that are disruptive. Something I learned from you. Oh the IRONY. - Rjd0060 02:56, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
I have not been involved at all in repeated vandalism. I may not have a good attitude at times, because I edit controversial subjects. But I am old and cranky. I have not been disruptive, at least I don't think so. At least against those who are really disruptive where my blood starts to boil. Like I said, I do not work here. I have done more good than bad. I may have a poor mouth (fingers?) at times. But, I've shown more kindness to others than I have hostility. Too bad that is not known. Again, I do not wish anything bad for you. Sorry I have put you in a bad place. :( Jeeny 03:02, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Everybody knows you have done a lot more good than anything. I understand what you mean about working with the controversial subjects. That automatically makes things more challenging than normal. Maybe you can have a laugh though about the comment from ANI "She should go on a week long Caribbean cruise with ScottAHudson". You know who Scott is. We've had fun with him. Coincidentally, I reported him tonight also (and he got blocked for 7 days). Take lots of pictures on that vacation. - Rjd0060 03:05, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, Scott was a pain, but nothing like the ones on the racist articles. Nothing. Another lesson, you have to WP:SUBST notices on user pages, like User:El_C corrected the one you left on my talk. I do appreciate the notice, but not the report, to be honest. Also you have to distingish between WP:Vandalism and WP:Civil. I have not vandalized anything. :) Jeeny 03:27, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Indeed, I was surprised to see it on AIV, a board reserved for vandalism. El_C 03:41, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Non-substitution oddness

Sorry about that. Thank you for correcting it. I read through the article (WP:SUBST) but have one question; you said it "created havoc". What did it actually do? - Rjd0060 03:34, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, np. Basically, everytime I edited that section to add another section, it moved it to template. I've never seen an unsubstituted template have that effect. Once it was substituted, everything was normal again. How odd is that? Regards, El_C 03:41, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Wierd. Well, before I read that article (WP:SUBST) I added subst to everything (including cleanup tags). When I was told not to do that, I stopped adding them to everything. Now I read the article and understand where to subst and where not to. Thanks again. - Rjd0060 03:43, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi there

Just in case I am not on your watchlist, as I know how big one can become. I wanted to say I harbor no ill will towards you. I would, though, like to suggest that you enable the email feature in your preferences. This is because once you start to give out warnings, fight vandalism, reporting other users on ANI and enforcing Wiki policies, it is a courtesy to have it enabled, you may be surpise at the support you may get. Don't worry about hate mail. I've had mine enabled since I began editing and never once have recieved hate mail. (That may change now, that I said it online. lol). If you want to keep your privacy, you can use gmail or yahoo or another provider so you don't have to use your ISP's email. Again, just a suggestion. When I was blocked, I wanted to email you rather than post on my talk page for obvious reasons. Not to attack you, but to explain a few things. Take care. Cheers! :) Jeeny 00:36, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

MY REPLY: OK, thanks for removing them. And thanks for the notice. (Without it, I would have become even more frustrated,

and perhaps even suspected vandalism. Sorry for my Newbie paranoia.

I'm trying to make meaningful contributions, but it has become very discouraging!)

PROTOCOL?
I tried to leave a question on YOUR talk page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Rjd0060), but it said you would reply to messages on MY talk page.
Does this mean I should ask questions on my own talk page? (Or is it OK to ask here, on your page; if so, do I then look on mine for replies?)


QUESTION:
I still don't understand what is the proper way to put appropriate images, logos, and photos into Wiki articles when I have the owner's permission. When I attempt to do so, they get removed, regardless of what info I provide. Please advise.

Thanks, in advance,

Ronald A. Carson

Hello: I saw that you had a hand in deleting Ronald A. Carson. I was hoping that you could assist me with re-creating the page so that it will remain permanent. Ronald A. Carson is a very noteworthy political operative and wonderkid. The articles that were cited on the page from the aurora advocate were written solely about him and his accomplishments. He is a role model to hundreds of thousands of african-american youth throughout the world. These youths looked to his page as a beacon of hope that they too might one day become as succesful as him. He has been commended by president's, acotrs and athletes alike for his rapid ascension into fame and stardom. I would greatly appreciate your assistance with allowing for his page to stand. Thanks Alinob77 16:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


Thanks again for getting back to me. Your advice is appreciated. I have been able to contact the editor of The Aurora Advocate and have retrieved a couple of newspaper articles featuring Carson. I have also been informed that they are in the process of putting these articles online, which would give them a url that can be used on a Ronald A. Carson page. Once that is done, this would satisfy the third party source that is lacking. Also, Carson has been the point person/strategist in cities across the country for President Clinton, Vice-President Gore, Senators Lieberman, Edwards, Kerry and now Clinton. He is a political strategist in the mold of a James Carville, or a Paul Begala. This is what makes him notable, becasue he is so young, a wonderkid if you will. Also, it should not go without notice that he is African-American and let's be frank, this is an accomplishment that not many African-American's can boast of. This is why this "story needs to be told" it serves as inspiration for the throngs of African-Ameican youth who feel that if Carson can do these things, why not them. So, I will find the url's to the sources and then I hope that, after this, you will assist me in making Ronald A. Carson a permanent page on wikipedia--thanks again.

Sorry about the late response. It was obvious that those accounts were Alinbob's sockpuppets, and they were blocked by another admin (whose name escapes me at the moment).

Deletion review Carson

Thanks for your reply. Do you know if the previous article resurrections were all Undeletes or article recreations or combination thereof? I have a real problem how pointless exercises like this waste so much time better spent elsewhere in the project. Do you know if the article was SALTed this time? It's warranted in this case. It's a shame at one level, since Carson's notability might conceivably be adequately documented some way in the future. But this long running history of heavy-handed chicanery with the article means any such future claims of its notability deserve to be viewed very skeptically.

I just want this to end!!! a brief synopsis, I created an article-went to a vote to keep or delete- I stupidly added a few comments while un logged in and some while logged in , I'm dyslexic-so sue me. but I got on some guys radar (for all I know a friend of yours) he then accused me of being other users and did a checkuser on me, came up negative, still the guy wouldnt let go of it, he put crap on my user page that was rude! and took it off and then he locked my account, so sick of it, I have sent an email to wikipedia foundation to help. but I just want the dumb account deleted right away! its so embarassing to me and also reveals my personal info-please help ! Canuckchick007 02:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I read that, I take it you are an administrator and can help? just let me know, I don't want to go through the rig-a ma- roll of dealing with head office-they probly take forever to get back to you!, also can a user block your account because you say you will put out a wiki alert and say you made a legal threat? This was just made up to freeze up my account, I m so ticked off as the checkuser proved my innocence!Canuckchick007 02:20, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
anybody you would recommend?Canuckchick007 02:27, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
this is all so annoying! I wish he would just go away! can you do me a favor and delete the comment I put on the administration board?Canuckchick007 02:35, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Military ranks and insignia of the Sri Lanka Army

I'm the author of the above mentioned article. After all the pictures were deleted by the admins who do not think ranks and insignias are not essential to the articles regarding armies and not deserves to be use under the fairuse criteria, I really disappointed and requested to speedy delete that. So if you think that article contains some context which is also have some encyclopedic value, then I'll keep the article as it is.

Navigating this thing is way confusing... I tried to post something and was in the wrong spot... can't it be easier to post?

Also I tried putting the template thing in buy the thing was deleted before I had a chance.. really you all should give more time to the noobs to figure out how to do stuff... and DUH... make it so you can't edit OTHER peoples stuff.. but thats just obvious! Manduck2k3 23:35, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I read WP:OWN, and it says you shouldn't try to prevent people from editing your articals, and what not, but it does not say who the owners of what are., The problem is that you have too much stuff opened to the interpretation of someting... not to mention it shouldn't be possable to edit "home pages" or "user pages" if there not yours.... and why do i have for and not just two? sounds like all the "power" can be missused if 3 people do a warning at teh same time that gets you 3 warnings.. and the ones regarding my own artical shouldn't count because I kept tring to used the form to show I wasn't done but I couldn't get it to work!

"Unintentional nonsense
While intentionally adding nonsense to pages is a form of vandalism, sometimes honest editors may not have expressed themselves correctly (there may be an error in the syntax, particularly for Wikipedians who use English as a second language). Also, sometimes connection errors or edit conflict unintentionally produce the appearance of nonsense or malicious edits. In either case, assume good faith." Manduck2k3 00:22, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I'm surprised that there wasn't an article on this stuff before now. I remember it well.

RE:CSD

OK, sounds good. Honestly, I'm not sure why it matters, because it's getting deleted anyway. jj137 (Talk) 02:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
It matters because some admin's will only speedy an article for the reason listed on the tag. If it does not match, they wont delete it. Also, when deleted, unless the admin specifies a more specific reason they deleted it, that tag will show up in the articles deletion log, and we should make sure it shows the correct reason it was deleted. - Rjd0060 02:05, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
To make it easier on the admins when deleting, ah, yes, that would make sense. I feel I have been making a lot of stupid mistakes when it comes to NP Watching lately, and as an experienced editor, I should know better! :) Thanks for the help jj137 (Talk) 02:08, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
It happens. Everybody makes a few mistakes. You have a point, it will be deleted anyways but here's an example. See this deletion log. Notice it says "content was: '{{db-attack}}Chase Oliver is born....". That admin didn't specify a specific reason for deleting it, so the system automatically inserts the first 100 (or so) characters from the page. Since that article had a proper template (attack) we now know the specific reason it was deleted. Otherwise, it would have just said "nonsense" or something. Make sense? - Rjd0060 02:13, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Perfect sense. I think I should start working harder at remembering all of the CSD types, as it will come in handy. jj137 (Talk) 02:15, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
It definitely helps. I don't know if you use any scripts but I use WP:TWINKLE and it really helps with vandal reverts. Maybe something you should look into if you havent already. - Rjd0060 02:17, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I have AWB and NPW. AWB is great, and I think NPW is pretty good, but it can mess up a lot, so I only occasionally use it. Now that I know it has all (or most) of the types, I think I'll give it another try. jj137 (Talk) 02:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

To expand upon my statement of "more article writing experience", I'd like to first to call your attention to your wannabe_kate edit count. At the moment of this writing, you have 904 mainspace edits out of a total edit count of 4028. It may be the epitome of editcountitis, but I prefer a ratio of around 50%, yours is only 22.4%. I'm biased, since mine is 59.9%, but let's just say that 22% is too low for my taste. In order to improve (at least my definition of improve) this, you'd have to work on articles, instead of spending time placing warnings on user talk pages and commenting on AFDs. While those are both good things, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and I think we should spend about half our time on the frontend (the actual encyclopedia) and the other half cleaning up the backend. I recommend joining some WikiProjects, a list of them can be found here. I am a member of four WikiProjects, such as WikiProject and WikiProject NFL. Just find some stuff you're really interested in, join those WikiProjects and help improve articles. Fix spelling, grammar, add sources and wikilinks. That's a lot of rambling, but that's the kind of editing I think you need to become a more effective editor. I do believe you'd make a great admin, but being a great editor comes first. Useight 21:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
P.S. -- That kind of editing will slow down your edit rate, but racking up a high score isn't the only thing that makes a great editor. Useight 21:11, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I nearly left Wikipedia yesterday because of the way some admins behave, so Irishguy's actions here really got my goat! DuncanHill 00:45, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I saw! DuncanHill 00:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
I made the heinous mistake of using a level 1 warning template on an experienced user who made a personal attack, and was shot down in flames for 1) using a template on an experienced editor (there's an obscure essay that says it's a bad thing), and 2) asking at WP:ANI if I had done the right thing. Apparently when an admin calls accuses me of "mindless policy wonkery" for trying to stop personal attacks it's OK. So, I don't bother with ANI anymore, as obviously ordinary editors aren't welcome there. DuncanHill 00:56, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
The admin who accused me of mindless policy wonkery hasn't made any edits since I told him I couldn't see any point in continuing the conversation. I must say that there are some very good admins, and some said kind things to me after the incident, but I don't really have much confidence in the system. The lack of an effective recall or review system for existing admins, and the apparent unwillingness of admins to police each other, are real weaknesses. I just looked at your RfA - do try again sometime, you seem to have your head screwed on and your heart in the right place. DuncanHill 01:08, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Imaginationland

Thanks for the help on the article. However, it's become increasingly clear that no matter how many legitimate arguments I bring up showing why the material does not merit inclusion, there will always be others there to bring up touching stories about how the material reconnected them to their material. This has reminded me why I stopped helping with the material in the first place. Because of that, I'm going to just go back to vandalism patrol. It's easier, and I don't have to worry about dealing with people who are arguing with foregone conclusions in mind. However, none of this is your fault, so I'd like to again thank you for taking the time to help me. Dlong 03:13, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I have taken a stab at re-writing the article that under AfD now. I have added references & re-written...

Regarding your comment on this AfD: In cases where specific notability guidelines are lacking, the general guidelines apply. They read "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

Mr RJD

Hey there, I completely understand the 3RR & am well aware of my edit war. I am wondering if you could assist me or guide me in this matter.

I feel that the main issue at stake in this instance is Loopla's attitude towards my edits. I simply made a cosmetic adjustment to an article. I am completely open to the fact that maybe alot of people disagree with me about the images size, in which case I will take on board others' opinions happily.

What hurt me, is that thes user Loopla could have easily said "i think it should be smaller than that", but instead crticized me of blatant vandalism! I am as much as you completely opposed to vandalsim, and I think that is completely inappropriate to make such judjements or suggest that I was making "test edits".

Thankyou - Designdonkey 09:08, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I am aware of all that you said on my talk page, but i think that you are failing to understand that i was to no extent attempting to "vandalise" wikipedia in any way or form, i merely had an opinion on how something should look, but others disagreed with me and i am more than prepared to acept that. I just feel that numerous established wikipedians hold an unjustified prejudice against other users that they assume to be completely inexperienced. - Designdonkey 08:15, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

The bot I was talking about was Siebot, and its owner Siebrand. I caught them at the Rangpur District page; it had been vandalized by the bot.

Out of line comment

RE: This edit on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jacob Apelbaum. (Rjd0060)

As much as I appreciate your other comments on this AfD, there is no reason not to link to relevant policies, even repeatedly. A discussion isn't a mainspace article, and "redundant" linking helps editors discuss their points and refer to policies succinctly and precisely. The fact that you don't like that is your personal preference, but to call me a dick because of that is completely out of line. Since you assert that you're well aware of policies, I won't bother to link you to WP:CIVIL, WP:NPA, but you yourself linked to WP:DICK, which states: Telling someone "Don't be a dick" is something of a dick-move in itself, so don't bandy the criticism about lightly. Linking to policy succinctly and appropriately is no reason to resort to what is essentially an unfounded personal attack. --Cheeser1 05:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

It has been reviewed!

Yes Big Brother (US) has been reviewed but it failed. You can read more about the review on the talk page of the article but the person who reviewed it said "good start needs several fixes". I think between me and you we can correct the article and fix it and then we can get it up to GA status. But it has finally been reviewed. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 21:09, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Pulling a pickles

Could you please explain how Pulling a pickles is not an attack page? If somebody wrote a page called "Pulling a Rjd0060" and talked about how it means doing or saying something stupid, wouldn't you consider that an attack page? Corvus cornix 23:34, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I also don't appreciate your calling my edit vandalism. Corvus cornix 23:35, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

OK. First, I wasn't talking about your edits as vandalism. I was talking about the IP edits. Secondly, It isn't an attack page. Not that it matters, as it is going to be deleted anyways, but who is the subject that that page is disparaging? Pickles? Does the article have a controversial tone? No. - Rjd0060 23:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

The subject of the attack is the person in the image, whose name is clearly identified in the attack. Corvus cornix 23:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Where is his name in this? - Rjd0060 23:39, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

You mean, besides the name of the image? And the link to Derek pickles? Corvus cornix 23:40, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

The image titled "dpickles" and there is not link in the version I restore to to anybody. - Rjd0060 23:42, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
The link to Derek P. is the "vandalism" from the IP that I removed. - Rjd0060 23:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

There's no point in arguing this, but don't revert my edits and call me a vandal again, please. Corvus cornix 23:44, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I did not call YOU a vandal. I reverted the IP edits, along with yours, and stated I reverted vandalism and I stated that it wasnt an attack page. We all have opinions, however before you accuse people of calling you a vandal, get the facts straight please. - Rjd0060 23:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

You reverted my edit and said you were reverting vandalism in your edit summary. What else am I supposed to conclude? Corvus cornix 23:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

You are incorrect. I restored the page to a version that was 3 edits back. So doing that, reverted your edit, and two edits prior to yours which were from an IP. That IP is the user who added the link to Derek Pickles and that is what I was referring to as vandalism. - Rjd0060 23:50, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

...for reverting vandalism. It appears that I've ticked off at least one ED troll (looong story). --Calton | Talk 16:00, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey!

"Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. The most common types of vandalism include the addition of obscenities or crude humor, page blanking, or the insertion of nonsense into articles.

Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not considered vandalism. For example, adding a personal opinion to an article once is not vandalism — it's just not helpful, and should be removed or restated. Not all vandalism is obvious, nor are all massive or controversial changes vandalism; careful attention needs to be given to whether changes made are beneficial, detrimental but well intended, or outright vandalism.

Committing blatant vandalism violates Wikipedia policy. If you find that another user has vandalized Wikipedia, you should revert the changes and warn the user (see below for specific instructions). Users who vandalize Wikipedia repeatedly, despite warnings to stop, should be reported to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, and administrators may block them."

Read the rules next time, I am not vandalizing anything. I changed that wiki page for a reason, and it was irrelevant. All that is true of what I posted. I am changing it back to what it truly is. By hindering that your vandalizing the pager yourself. That is not my Point of View, thats the truth. All that I changed was truth, and stop reverting it. I am not vandalizing anything, when you change a page back like that your technically vandalizing the the page yourself. If you think that editing wikipedia is that big of a deal, then please, get out of your moms house and get a real life. I am editing that to fix the false information on that page. Stop hindering me for trying to fix a legitimate problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cerciosmd (talk • contribs) 23:49, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

If you feel so stronly that you aren't doing anything wrong, even though I've warned you 3 times, than go ahead and do it again, but you can be blocked if you continue to vandalize. - Rjd0060 23:58, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

While I did leave a message on Jeeny talk page referring to him as an "annoying Vandel" I did realize my mistake as I reviewed what I had just put on his page. I did edit it out, so I believe you looked through the edit history. After I finish, I am heading to his page to leave an apology. Regards, Javascap 21:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

In addition, I read you reason for the revert and it is labeled "Jeeny has bene blocked and could not have made any edits" A quick revision of the edit history on my page would show that he did 2 edits. Just letting you know ;) Javascap 21:07, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I reviewed Wikipedia:Guide to layout#Standard appendices and descriptions but am unable to find where this is stated and was wondering if you could clarify, I just want to make sure I understand. Most articles I've seen have External links below See also. For example, two articles listed on the Main_Page, Hurricane Noel (2007) and Dominican Republic have External links at the end below See also, should they be changed?

I took another look at the time stamps. you're right: he had gotten a final warning—and an answer to his question at the help desk—before his last deletion. I've blocked him, but in such a way as to invite him to discuss the issue rather than push him away from Wikipedia. —C.Fred (talk) 03:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I guess the difference is that I don't ascribe malice as a motive. I concede that there may be a conflict of interest at some level, but I think it's a severely misguided but reasonably-good-faith editor. That said, if he refuses to discuss the matter in good faith, then his edits cease to be good faith, and an indefinite block makes sense. —C.Fred (talk) 04:40, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

What are you talking about? Did you actually read the section I removed from Talk:Race debate?

I was merely following the rule that wikipedia is not a soapbox. For doing this I get warned by you? I'm just really angry now, possibly your warn was not a mistake and you knew exactly what you were doing? You think personal attacks and soapboxing on talk pages are OK?

Alun, Wikipedia is supposed to be non-ideological. For instance, a crime is a crime, hate or no hate. A rule violation is simply, a rule violation.

Hi again. Judging by your user page, it looks like the vandal is on a dynamic IP (or at least have access to more than one static IP), so the indef blocking discussion is moot anyway. I will keep an eye on your user page too. Cheers TigerShark 00:32, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Yep, I just noticed that. So what happens now? How can that happen? It was still the username, not an IP that made that last vandalism on Rjd's user page, during a block? ~Jeeny (talk) 00:36, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Oh, nevermind it wasn't the "same" username, but a variation of the last one (yet the same person). So, indef blocks don't work? That pretty much sucks in this case. Oh well. And people like me, who is an angel has to sit out a block for the whole time. lol ~Jeeny (talk) 00:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Well the underlying IP is only auto-blocked for 24 hours. The auto-block will be refreshed every time the blocked account try to edit, but if a new account is created the auto-block will not be refreshed. In this case the user must have a dynamic IP, as they were able to edit within the first 24 hours. Cheers TigerShark 00:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Work permit

Oh, I get it, so any edits which you don't agree with can't be modified? Take a look back at the original material and then what is being posted. The US embassy references contain NOTHING relevant to what is being footnoted. If people are so sensitive about links, then they should come up with their own material instead of modifying material which was placed there by someone else (even with commercial intent). So, take out the commercial reference and the resulting material and come up with something else. Would seem to me that the other content would be copyrighted. VivaBelgivaBE 10 November 2007 (UTC)

No, you are misguided. This was already done on the discussion pages and no one responded. Hence, my original question remains, and I will be in touch with the copyright owner about removal of said content. Life is not about cutting and pasting. If you don't like it, then come up with something on your own. Alas, for some folks it is much easier to comment and hide behind lists of rules than it is to come up with something original. VivaBelgicaBE 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Look, the supplied links have nothing in relation to the original information. Ergo, unless someone can find info to substitute for the original citation (i.e. the commercial link), then the entire thing should be removed. Leaving someone else's info (whatever the source) and lazily substituting a non-related site that doesn't contain remotely relevant (i.e. special work permits for highly talented people) is intelectually lazy and dishonest. So, remove it all. Otherwise, leave the footnote. Furthermore, the site does give away some info on spouse work permits and for Poland and Slovakia (I looked), so the claim by the person who substituted the US embassy pages is just plain wrong. VivaBelgicaBE 10 November 2007 (UTC)

...then I will put the original footnote back in and not blank the info. VivaBelgicaBE 10 November 2007 (UTC)

multiple AFDs

Hey, I actually did find the group AFD section and have been setting up a bulk afd for all the really obvious deletes (I'll post seperate ones for the articles that at least try to establish notability), but thanks for the heads-up... it's a daunting task for my fingers Epthorn 06:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, yes I plan to. I am not finished tagging them all quite yet- as soon as I do, I will create the page, which will be so that people don't start before I actually have everything collated there. Some seem to have been tagged by other people, and some seem to still be prod...ed(?) but I should be done with the rest soon. Epthorn 06:47, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I think I correctly posted everything on the AFD page. Hopefully I won't have to deal with all of them again soon...Epthorn 07:38, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppets

I think you might be mistaken about 74.244.11.122 being involved as a sockpuppet/puppeteer in this instance of Legacy7. 74.244.11.122 has only made one edit, which was reverted, and it seems that they haven't been involved since. However Legacy7/70.46.67.98 (note the different IP address) started out trying to add information about the Wreck Parade that wasn't appropriate for the article and got into an edit war with the article's main contributors using those two accounts. He hasn't tried to obfuscate that he's the same person editing from two different accounts. I think that 74.244.11.122 just was so unfortunate to have made a good faith, but unsourced edit that was also reverted within the span of this edit war, and now Legacy7/70.46.67.98 is using it as another means of disruption by reverting back to it to make some kind of point (as evidenced by his edit summary on the edit that you reverted). Does that make sense? LaMenta3 18:43, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

:74.244.11.122 added this, which was removed. It was then re-added by 70.46.67.98 here which was removed and re-added again by Legacy7 here. All accounts became active within a couple days of eachother, and all edits on all 3 are to related subjects. I think they are all the same. - Rjd0060 18:49, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but 74.244.11.122, if you look at his contribs, all of his edits pertained to Lyman Hall. He actually put the same content on that article, which was reverted, and no one has put it back since. I would think that if he were the same as Legacy7/70.46.67.98 an edit war would be going on there, as well. Particularly since 74.244.11.122 seemed to be more focused on Lyman Hall than the traditions aspect of things. If nothing else, though, if you are right, I think you've got the puppeteer/puppet order mixed up anyway. 70.46.67.98 was the first to make any contentious edits, but generally, the registered account is considered to be the puppeteer of any suspicious IPs, which would be Legacy7. LaMenta3 19:00, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
You're explaining yourself just fine, I just have a different take on things. However, if you run a WHOIS on each IP, it's physically unlikely that they're related. 70.46.67.98 is an IP owned by Florida Digital, located in Maitland, FL. 74.244.11.122 is owned by Bellsouth, located in Atlanta, GA. There is the off-chance that one is a meatpuppet, though generally those don't crop up in simple cases like this. LaMenta3 19:13, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I think since you're the person who made the report, you can change it up as you see necessary given the new information you now have. Just make a comment to that effect on the suspected socks page. I'm pretty sure there's no problem with that. LaMenta3 05:02, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Hmm...Well, still make a comment about that, then try to flag down a currently active admin, preferably one who usually deals with the sock page. Barring that, try flagging down any admin. They should be able to help. LaMenta3 05:09, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
I suppose so, but as you're the one who had the "initial" suspicions, it might be good to clarify that you see what I mean and that the suspicion should be -X-. Now that I think about it, I think that you could probably move the page to the correct sockpuppeteer name, unless only admins can move pages in Wikipedia space. I forget.

Template:2007-2008 NBA Western Conference Pacific Division standings

Thanks for the feedback. At the time I added the PROD, it wasn't a template, just an article 2007-2008 NBA Western Conference Pacific Division standings. According to the history page User:Sonoran dweller moved it to a template shortly after I added the PROD, probably in response to the message I left on the user talk page. My justification for the PROD, which was on the article's discussion page, apparently got lost in the move. My basic reasoning remains: the information in the template is duplicated in 2007-08 NBA season#NBA standings, and I was trying to eliminate the duplicity and the need to maintain two articles for what will be daily changes. It's also interesting that there's a template for the NBA Pacific Division but not for the other divisions. Should I just drop this or do you think it is worth pursuing?

Spare me the lectures. Thanks. Otto4711 (talk) 20:37, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

  • If the "appropriate response" was to file a report, then part of the "appropriate response" is to file it on all of the involved parties, not singling one out. As far as I'm concerned, removing sourced material from Wikipedia is vandalism and that's exactly what the other editor did. So in the face of an editor engaged in active vandalism and one whose response to a lecture you didn't care for, you choose to try to bust the latter and remain silent on the vandal.
  • As for trivia sections, I will point out once again that WP:TRIVIA is concerned with content, not the name. If you had any idea how much trivia I've integrated into articles and how many unencyclopedic "in popular culture" articles I've AFDed you would understand that the idea that I'm some sort of trivia-fiend is laughable. This information is not trivial, it is encyclopedic and this day and a half of sturm und drang about it is ridiculous. Otto4711 (talk) 01:52, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Question about sourcing

Good to talk to you, Rjd0060. Perhaps you can provide some advice, leadership on a question I haven't been able to get answered. The Jackson Free Press site has run into, essentially, two sourcing issues. One is over circulation/readership numbers. Allstarecho (who doesn't like the paper for personal reasons, but I digress) is insisting that the entry cannot point back to the papers's wiki, where contact info is provided to confirm those numbers. Those numbers are verified in numerous materials, but not published in a "publication" online. Is it Wikipedia's policy, then, that the numbers aren't valid here because they don't have a URL? And does this policy apply to all publications with a Wikipedia page evenly?

Secondly, he does not want the JFP referencing its own site in which its founders say that they named the newspaper after a civil rights-era paper. Clearly, that is the most primary source one could get on why the owners chose the name. Thus, do the owners have to be quoted saying that to a third publication in order for the information to be included in Wikipedia?

Oh, and finally, allstarecho, said that blogs, apparently even for newspapers, can never be used to source anything in Wikipedia. Is that a correct policy?

There has been a warning box added to the top of the site about using sourcing, even though the only questions seem to be the ones resolved above. Could you check all this out and give guidance? People at the paper do not wish to do anything wrong, but do wish accurate information to be stated about it, without negative bias behind it. Thank you for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfpwebguy (talk • contribs) 15:06, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Your message (CSD of Mazel Tov (band))

Hi Rjd0060,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you; you actually messaged me while I was writing you a message, which meant I had to rewrite my message, which I didn't have time to do because I had to run, and on and on and on >.<

At any rate, thank you for your message. Regarding your concerns, I actually caught your change when I was going back re-checking my tags. I understand your concern about tagging pages too soon and see where you are coming from, but I have to respectfully disagree for a few reasons.

The first reason is the effect a tagging produces. Since I use Twinkle to tag, as you know the original creators of pages I mark for CSD are notified with templates specific to the type of tag--in this case, a template with a link to WP:BAND was dropped on the user's page. As it's not uncommon for users to post a line or two in their article and then move on or log off, I find that speed actually is of the essence if you want to catch them while they're still online, as doing so produces one or a combination of three effects:

  • The user does nothing and an administrator deals with the page as is
  • The user adds a {{hangon}} tag and either tries to explain why their topic is all right or works to bring it up to speed
  • The user asks on your talk page why you tagged their article for deletion

The first case does not happen every time the page is tagged while the user is online, but it happens 100% of the time when the user is offline. The second two cases, meanwhile, can only happen when the user is online, and I think they both produce a desirable effect. The second effect means that the user edits the article with a goal--they understand what is lacking in their article, and they have an opportunity to do something about keeping it. And since I always respond to users who ask why I tagged their pages, the third effect means that the user learns more about Wikipedia policy and gets some one-on-one advice on how to write a successful article. In short, the effect of rapid tagging is a net positive effect.

The second reason for the fast tagging is the content of the article in question. A new article about a band (especially one formed in the past year or two) that doesn't mention a label, album, or effect of the band on a local music scene in the first version is going to be about a non-notable band. After all, if the author is a member of the band in question their first instinct is going to be to mention their success--if they're a fan, they're going to mention either how cool the band is or where they heard them. In those cases I'll take the time to check it out, but when no such claims are made in the first go-around you can basically guarantee that the article is unsalvageable.

And finally, there's the guidelines. The section you're referring to in WP:CSD reads as follows:

"Before nominating an article for speedy deletion, consider whether it could be improved or reduced to a stub; if so, speedy deletion is probably inappropriate. Contributors sometimes create articles over several edits, so try to avoid deleting a page too soon after its creation if it appears incomplete. Users nominating a page for speedy deletion should specify which criteria the page meets and consider notifying the page's creator."

I do my fair share of stub and notability tagging during newpage patrol and top it off with return visits to pages I've tagged for CSD. Sometimes these return trips involve me retagging articles and warning the authors for deleting them, occasionally they find me removing a tag from an improved article, and every now and then something a little less expected happens. While I am keen to make sure that what needs to stay on Wikipedia stays on Wikipedia, given what it takes to actually delete content I consider the high potential return to be gained through prompt sorting to more than balance out the low risk of an inappropriate tag, and I think this philosophy adheres to the spirit of the guidelines.

I know I'm probably just preaching to the choir and that you may very well come back with irrefutable proof that my fast tagging is inappropriate, but I wanted you to know that while I appreciate your concern and the time you took to leave me a note, there is indeed a method behind my madness :) Take care! --jonny-mt(t)(c)Tell me what you think! 13:55, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I happened upon Neptunekh's request and found it very strange. So here's my own strange thought: Is there a reason that person asked you that? Because it looks awfully random (yes, even more random than my question).Wryspy (talk) 18:34, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

MyFootballClub

You are incorrect it was not a personal point of view. It was put under the heading controversy and is echoed by many—Preceding unsigned comment added by Davey c20071987 (talk • contribs) 22:06, 23 November 2007

It certainly is against a Neutral Point of View and blogs are not reliable sources anyways. - Rjd0060 (talk) 21:09, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
The blog cited was part of the article before DaveyC's vandalism, and I believe WP:RS is inapplicable because the blog referenced is not being used as authority for facts, but rather to show that certain fans, including the person who writes that blog, have reservations about MyFC's takeover of Ebbsfleet. I don't think we should need to wait until a newspaper article, or the like, reports that differences exist and itself cites to blogs, like the one here. The blog cited is a reliable source for showing the opinion of its author. (BTW, I am not that author, and disagree strongly with his views, but I thought it was important for NPOV for it to be in there.) Friejose (talk) 17:55, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
You said on my talk page, "The blog is not reliable per our guidelines. The blog is a POV piece, and statements souced by it have been removed." Okay, but that misses the point. The blog was not cited for a factual proposition, i.e. MyFootballClub will do this or that tomorrow, and has done this or that yesterday. Rather, the blog was cited to show that opinions on a certain issue are divergent. Obviously, a blog is non-reliable and secondhand for facts, but when it is being cited to show the opinion that is being propunded in that blog, it is a perfectly good source. And that's how the citation referencing a blog was being used here. Friejose (talk) 18:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey I want to thank you for editing the URLs of the STIDS page. If the definition does not get deleted on me, I'll work more on building the page and its inside meaning. Any NON Tech Support person (would) want it removed as seeing the term VIRUS only. But it's not. We as TECH ( guru's ) use this term and use it often. If you are able to LINK definitions from TERM to TERM that will help in the Definition DETAILS. Thanks Again, Outboundglitch (talk) 07:37, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Rude false remarks

I wrote an article about Margareta Svensson. It upsets me that it is deleted, but even more so that there are harassments from so called administers that apparently can say whatever they like, with no knowledge at all and no interest in finding out either. THOSE FALSE ALLEGATIONS will be what people will read about Margareta Svensson, not her extraordinary international career as a singer-pianist. There was NOTHING in that article that wasn't true, and if you administers were half-way professional you would find that out.

I had written I think three sentences when I had a message that she was not notable. And yes I did delete that message, and I only deleted that ONE, because it was not relevant. The article was not up. I couldn't imagine that someone who could write such a rude false remark after me having written almost nothing at all, could be favored. Is Wikipedia a game to see who can stand unfair beatings and just turn the other cheek?

I may have made the mistakes of creating an account with the name Margareta Svensson, because I thought that was how it was supposed to be done. And I also uploaded much before it was the final article, because I wanted to see that it worked. I didn't think anyone was that interested in my work that I got a comment long before I was done. Another lengthy rude comment, complained how I had worded a sentence, and I made changes to accommodate.

One comment that it couldn't be valid because references were in Swedish - I must say that arrogance does not even begin to describe such a comment. English is the language that is used by the world, but most people in the world does NOT have English as their first language.

It seems that administers are people with too much time on their hands who have nothing better to do than to quickly, within minutes of first activity, beat a new person down with rude, false remarks. Shouldn't you be interested instead? But being mean may be how you get your satisfaction? You are no better than bullying kids on the playground.

Seeking Guidance

I am new to Wikipedia, and thought the best way to learn would be to write an article from scratch about a subject that I am uniquely qualified to address. I have not yet reached the phase where I explore the pages looking to make edits, or involve myself in back and forth with admins and users. I appreciate the work that you and others like you do, but it's frustrating for new people like me when at the very beginning I get tagged for speedy deletion, and I'm fighting my way out of a corner from the outset. If I knew more about the process, for example, how long it takes and how many votes before a page is deemed unworthy and deleted, I'd be less prone to dramatic monologues like the most recent one on the discussion page for StudioBard. I want to be a productive, respected member of the Wikipedia Family, and I know that doesn't happen overnight... so please, help me reduce my stress level... offer some personal insight, and don't consider me to be a suffocating fish on the deck of the ship, frantic for breath, even if that's how I'm starting to feel... don't toss me... give me a bucket of water and let me breathe for a bit. Wikipedia can be quite overwhelming for someone new, especially when the most experienced folks around are circling for a deletion. Studiomanager (talk) 19:44, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, glad you like it. It makes things clearer. I was thinking about going ahead and applying it after a few more people have their say. I was thinking about applying it to the US article so we can list Marcellas as a former host before someone adds him in the same manner as the UK sidebar. Plus we can put After Dark in the list of shows since it is not currently listed in the sidebar due to it having no host. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 06:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Well I guess your right, were not in a hurry its very unlikely CBS is going to do anything special with Big Brother.

Karyn Kupcinet

I noticed you had left a note for one of the editors who have been disrupting things at this page. Would you look at the Talk:Karyn Kupcinet page and weigh in on the problem with the anonymous IP 66.77.102.10? Thanks. Wildhartlivie 00:08, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Personally, I believe they are the same person, and I think they are anonymous accounts connected to the other regular editor to the page. We made a sock puppet request earlier in the month, but apparently the editor was gone over Thanksgiving week (first break he's taken in months), and we didn't do a good enough job in outlining the evidence. However, I've done a search on all the anon IPs listed there, plus the new one from today, and they are all in the Los Angeles area, including LAX, UCLA library, LA County Library and two from the exact same provider (socal.rr.com). It's a little creepy. I'm not really sure where to go with all of this from here. Wildhartlivie 00:45, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Personal Attacks

Hi. You warned me today about making a personal attack on another user which, granted, in the heat of the moment and after months of frustration, I finally did on another user's talk page. For that, I apologize. However, I am now being personally attacked by an anon IP on the Karyn Kupcinet talk page. As you can see from my initial response, I did not verbally attack them nor did I respond to them. In fact, I haven't engaged in any debate with them seeing as it is an anonymous IP user and I'm guessing it's the first time they've edited the page. Me and another editor have had nothing but trouble with an editor on that page for the past month or so. Last night, a new one took it upon themselves to remove sourced info because they don't agree with it. After reverting their changes, they called me an "obsessed fan" (which for the record, I'm not) and then proceeded to talk down to me on the article's talk page. Today, I get attacked and accused of things I've never done by an anonymous user. As I said, calling someone a name isn't right, but this is an ongoing battle and it's getting beyond irritating and l snapped. Me and the other editor have tried all methods to get the page protected and even have some sort of administrative help and so far, nothing has worked. Now it seems to be getting personal and slanderous. I like editing on Wikipedia and a quick check of my history will show that I contribute regularly and have had no problems with other editors in the past, but this has gone too far. I don't want to stop editing here because of a few bad apples, but I find it a bit unfair that these personal attacks and constant edit wars are allowed when basically, me and another editor are trying hard to be civil with people who are constantly rude and growing more disrespectful as the days go by. The more they're allowed to do, the bolder they are becoming. I am not attacking you personally as I know you have certain procedures to follow, but I try not to get into trouble or cause problems and I wanted you to know exactly where I'm coming from. Pinkadelica 06:37, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. I kinda lost it for a second last night and felt that I should explain myself. Thanks for looking into the personal attacks too. Pinkadelica 06:49, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Tagging Articles

I know it can be a useful tool, but when you tag every single station in the entire state of Pennsylvania, that is just weird and puts a TON of work on editors to either revert those tags or admins to update them (if they stick). I have no problem with someone working on those articles, hell I encourage it! I just don't want to see 200 some odd stations tagged unnecessarily.

Also, the entire time (except for my last post) I have been nice, even encouraging at one point (which is rare for me). I liked the "poem" quote though. :) - NeutralHomer T:C 05:41, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Like I said "except for my last post"...I lost my patience with the guy. When all you get is nonsense and a person isn't listening (and I am trying...honestly trying...to help) you lose your patience. Should have I? No, but I can only try so much. - NeutralHomer T:C 05:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
I understand that people work off that category, but I have never seen someone tag page after page. A year and a half here (and I have seen alot) and that one...well, ya really can't be sure how to handle that. How do you handle that? I will be honest, I don't have much patience, but with newbies I try and give them as much of it as I can and benefit of the doubt (we were all newbies once). But when I seen that...I wasn't sure what to do and when the editor continued to not get what I was trying to say and throw his brand of "insult" at me (which made me laugh) I began to lose all patience.
If people can update those pages without erasing 3/4 of them, great...I'm all for it. But someone has to tell me what I should do the next time this happens (cause I have no clue...and I obviously didn't do it right this time around....again). - NeutralHomer T:C 05:51, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I wish there was something direct from CBS too but the only thing from them is their homepage that can't be sourced.

I've been trying to nominate an article for deletion that was previously deleted (the speedy was denied by an admin) and I'm not sure how to correctly format the AFD page. Since you've helped me before [[18]] I was wondering if you might be able to point me in the right direction. The article in question is Halogen_Software and the AFD page I created is here. I'm having trouble listing it on the deletion debate page. Thanks, and sorry for the formatting question... my days of programming and software are long behind me. Epthorn (talk) 08:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Re:moving pages

Gee, sorry, thanks for pointing that out. I am keen to fix the problem but as I'm not entirely familiar with archived talk pages, I was wondering whether it would be better to move the archives or to just redirect the links on the current talk page? Thanks, •97198 talk 10:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Fixed. Check the diffs to see how I did it. Jeffpw (talk) 10:54, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Reply

Help, I'm trapped! lol. I don't know how to get back on line. Although there were some hints on the wikibreak enforcer page that let's one know how to bypass it. But, I'm stupid and so lost. I have to search for my username to find you. lol. Oh well, I guess this must be a "sign" from the higher power. lol. Meaning I should stay the heck away from this place. Thanks for the welcome. :p Jeeny 04:57, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Jeeny, I changed the date on the wikibreak enforcer so that you can log in. — Carl (CBM · talk) 06:00, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Jeeny (redux)

I reverted the edits on her user and talk page to the last edits known to be done by her or someone she trusts. I see no evidence on any of her contributions that she actually would have made those edits. One summary said "See User:Picaroon for confirmation", but there is nothing on his page from anyone who made any edits to her pages. Unless you have an email from her stating that she made personal attacks in her edit summaries, I think it is better to treat this as vandalism from that Haydan person again. Jeffpw (talk) 09:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

<sigh> She emailed me. She did make the edits. Why does life have to be so hard, sometimes? Jeffpw (talk) 14:26, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
This edit is particularly troubling, since that is an alternate account of Jeeny. — Carl (CBM · talk) 14:45, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I would contrbute to wiki more, but there is only 1 computer in the house and my mom's on it during the day. I try to contribute the best I can. I check t osee if there are any edits to make and everything seems to be okay. I'm trying to put up a picture for a page I've created right now. Sony Urban Music The Hayden thing is complicated I know it. I've just been trying to get stuff out of him to find out why he does the things he does. I've e-mailed jeeny about it to see what she thinks, but I don't know when she'll answer back. <rm PI> Seth71 (talk) 00:43, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Since this IP apparently does not meet the criteria for abuse reports, how can the warning stating "This IP address, 144.226.173.68, is registered to Sprint. In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts should be made to contact Sprint to report abuse, which can be done here. Contact information can be viewed in the WHOIS report." on the user's talk page be removed? That message must have been put on there by a prankster.

reply

With all due respect, Rjd0060, I think you are letting your loyalty to Jeeny get in the way of your objectivity. Yes, I went to ANI when I realized Jeeny was using an alternate account. I was her mentor, and the terms of the mentorship (which I brokered to get her unblocked) clearly stated that I would call for an administrator if she was disrupting the project. Using profane edit summaries while editing under an alternate identity is clearly disruptive. And now Jeeny is disrupting it again by changing an image that is on over 100 user pages. I'm sorry if you think I am disloyal to a friend, but my loyalty lies with this project. Jeffpw (talk) 06:28, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

False and hurtful allegations

Please stop and think before criticising other user's contributions. I am doing this because at the moment the way the date formats work in Wikipedia is U.S. centric, in breach of the long standing policy that all variants of English have equality in Wikipedia. The redirects will allow people to use British English dates in auto-generated footnotes without creating red links. If you check you will note that such red links exist for most days in 2007, and for some dates in other years. They will proliferate in the future. I have asked the user who has made a false and hurtful attack on me for this constructive contribution to Wikipedia to make an unreserved apology to me. LukeHoC (talk) 17:08, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

What are you in favour of, red links, or U.S. centrism

Which is it? I estimate that my work will clear at least a thousand red links. LukeHoC (talk) 17:31, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Re:

Actually, there is a Wikipedia page which says that one isn't to refer to user's past blocks to try to gain the upper hand. Since you like to stick to the rules so much, please stop trying to use rather unoriginal tactics to goad me into an argument. If you wish to lecture on "civility", then feel free to refrain from making comments like "You should try it sometime". This is the pot calling the kettle black, but if you don't like the truth then you're talking to the wrong person. This specific user has been causing nothing but hassle on Wikipedia, and more to the point been giving me hassle. Then, I have to put up with you accusing me of being the one causing hassle. LuciferMorgan (talk) 00:52, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
For the record here, the user has removed a message I put here. They can refer to the edit history to see that message. In response to "I am not going to argue with you", I feel these are the words of someone who tried being argumentative but is now backing down. If you wish to be civil to people in future, do not leave short comments on their page. Even though to you your message was civil, to me it was extremely uncivil and the use of the word "please" rather patronising. As far as I am concerned, Rock Soldier is a sockpuppet. I even reported his disruptive edits to ANI, only to have administrators accuse me of actually being disruptive. My experience of admins is that most of them aren't that good in their job, and that's why I refrain from such places as the ones you named. I do not even know how to use them, or how they work. LuciferMorgan (talk) 01:03, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Mika Edwards

Looks like I was wrong about Mika Edwards; she apparently does exist. The claim that she worked for the TV station was removed by an IP address, so that info might have been false. But the rest of the article might be legit. I kept and updated the prod tag because, in my opinion, she still isn't notable. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 02:01, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Also, that image is not PD, it is fair use and this usage is not fair use, it can only be used in her article. KabuliTajik (talk) 04:51, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, and wrongfully so. I know what I'm doing and I am more familiar with these people and how famous they are than you are, with all due respect. KabuliTajik (talk) 04:53, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
I am aware of concensus. There are only a few editors involved in this article and they will understand the reasoning of my edit. If not, they will object, I'll put it back then discuss. KabuliTajik (talk) 04:56, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

You are already aware that the image is up for deletion, so you should understand that it might as well be removed. Again, I was right about the image and you can read on up on her, do a Google search and you'll realize she is not famous. I was once a senior editor, so please have more faith in me.

Question

How'd you find out about those new accounts? Equazcion •✗/C • 05:38, 3 Jan 2008 (UTC)

I checked User:Nercronalon (LWA)'s user creation log. You can do that by going to somebody's user page, and in the "toolbox" section on the left click "Logs". Or, just go to Special:Logs and enter your search information. - Rjd0060 (talk) 05:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Comment left on AnimalBoy talkpage

The (HANGON) was left on the page, and, per directions, a positive defense of the validity and importance of the band was left on the talkpage for the SECOND iteration of the band's page.

It is the presumptuousness of certain Admins which rankles, we all have fields of ignorance (lack of knowledge), and if one's lack of knowledge about, say, the Garage-rock scene in the Pacific Northwest in the 1980s, happens to be wide and deep, then why in acts of counterintuition, delete contribs which reduce such topical ignorance?

I guess I am in one of my "fields of ignorance" because I don't know what you just said. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, to put it simply for the standees:

"Admin X" professes an interest to the point of self-declared expertise about, say, "True Crime novels" down to the point of, possibly, having a framed lock of Ann Rule's hair (complete with a notarized C.O.A.).

"Admin X" however, knows NOTHING about the Garage rock scene in the 1980s (inclusive of being ignorant about what model of Vox guitar Danny Demiankow played on "Inside Out".)

YET, said "Admin X", being ignorant about the field of Garage rock, counterintuitively deletes a page contributing to the knowledge about Garage rock.

Begging the question: "Is wikipedia about knowledge or random pissing matches?"

"Vandalism" of George Washington

I just realized the proposal has a problem; should it be 30 days after the account has been blocked, or 30 days after the last comment was posted? If it's the former, the criterion can be followed easily, but if it's the latter, we'll have categories that would be hard to clear out completely. —Kurykh 02:43, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Yea, i use Twinkle as well, and over all i really like it, the downside to this program is it does not redirect you to the vandalizers talk page, and does not auto insert the name of the article they vandalized, it must all be done by hand. Though it is much faster. Tiptoety talk 01:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Yea, i saw that. I was just about to say something, but hey yea at least you tried! :) Tiptoety talk 01:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Image lab

You've been very helpful for me before, so I come to you to ask --- Do you know where I can find this on Wikipedia. I had come across it a few days ago, and didn't save to my bookmarks, (didn't think I had to) but I can't find it now. It's either called "image lab" or "graphics lab", I forget which, even if I use both in a search, nothing useful comes up. :-/

Also, why is it so difficult to find anything using the search box? There are so many rules/policies and hidden (not intentional) help pages that do not appear when using the search function (so unlike Google). Why is that? And why does Wikipedia not have them all in one place where it is easy for people to find these useful pages, portals and policies? Is there a special prefix or special term one needs to use to find these pages? Thanks in advance. :-) ←Gee♥Alice 22:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your response, and sorry for not being more clear. As far as the "Image/Graphic lab" I'm referring to, it is similar to the Help Desk or Reference Desk, I think. I'm not quite certain that is the correct name though. It's a "place" where there are users who volunteer time by working on requests creating and cleaning up images/graphics. Does that help clarify? As far as the rest, I was just venting...kinda. lol. ←Gee♥Alice 00:15, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
YES! That's it. "Maybe you are looking for Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Images to improve? - Rjd0060...". I guess I was using the plural while searching, as in GraphicS Lab, rather than "Graphic Lab". Although I didn't try that search term. See what I mean about the search function? Anyway, thank you so much for your help. You're awesome! It was driving me crazy. I spend more time looking for "things" and never finding them, than I do editing articles! Thanks again...gracias mucho! :-) ←Gee♥Alice 00:34, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:revert

This] is probably the most comprehensive debate on the topic, though there have been several more. In short, the compromise solution over the debate is a project-specific variant of WP:ENGVAR. The NHL, and North American sources, do not use diacritics at all in player names. They aren't English characters. It was agreed that for NHL related articles, the NHL's/North American format would be used - no diacritics. Exactly as the names are spelled on the back of their jerseys. For European and international articles, diacritics can be used. Resolute 18:34, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem. Personally, I am glad I stayed mostly out of that debate. As far as "Go Wings" goes, you could have not let Vancouver get a point last night, eh? Resolute 20:45, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Myanmar

My edit to the Myanmar article constituted a vital factual correction, not vandalism. Encyclopedias are based on facts, not "consensus." I am not aware of a single sourcebook or encyclopedia that has an entry on Burma as opposed to Myanmar. Myanmar is the name recognized by the UN and the majority of world states. Maglev Power (talk) 04:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, indeed, but for an article of this importance, listing at WP:RM is de facto compulsory. Otherwise we'd certainly get ourselves a move/edit war, then we'd have to fix the mess, and protect the article, then lots of drama would follow, and in the end we'd still have a proposal listed at WP:RM anyway.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Rjd0060 2

Ryan Postlethwaite would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact Ryan Postlethwaite to accept or decline the nomination. A page will be or has been created for your nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Rjd0060 2. If you accept the nomination, you must formally state and sign your acceptance and answer the questions on that page. Once you have answered the questions, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.
Get the questions written, accept, and let's rock and roll! Ryan Postlethwaite 18:29, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
(spoiler alert: read my RfA comment before this one...). I'm not sure why your name stands out to me either (see sarcasticidealist below), but it's a positive impression. A Postlethwaite nom sure doesn't hurt either :)...When I say that I have a "few editors in mind" to watch for in RfAs, most of them are negative, diffs in hand. Glad you're not one of them, happy to support! Best of luck to you, it's a fun ride - enjoy it for what it is and ignore it for what it isn't. You know what I mean, I'm sure. Cheers and good luck!

Stupid question

Do you happen to know when/where we've interacted? Your name is certainly familiar to me, and I have your talk page watched for some reason, but neither one of us appears to have posted on the other's talk page at any point. I ask because I'd like some context on your RfA. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 18:55, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh well; I guess I'll have to actually do research before commenting on your RfA. So tragic when that happens (on the surface, you look like a very likely support). Sarcasticidealist (talk) 19:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Andrew Nichols

So happy you asked. There was a totally nn version deleted April 12, 2007 by WKnight. User:04anichols created the article about the parapsychologist on May 17. User:Hurly101 vandailzed it beyond all recognition on January 11 this year. This is the version you tagged and that was deleted by AliveFreeHappy the next day. User:04anichols recreated the parapsychologist version yesterday. Not sure it would pass an AfD, but there it is. . (You're gonna love being able to see the deleted versions.) :) Hope that helps. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 20:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Really, I agree with "backwards Mike Reichold" here, you are gonna love being able to see the deleted contribs. I put the onus on AliveFreeHappy to check a db tagged article's history before simply deleting. Articles get tagged all the time that do not qualify for speedy deletion, trust me. He/she should not have deleted the article, but instead should have reverted back to the most current correct article, and given you a talk page message. But, bygones are bygones.

WWWQ

Please see my response to you on the WWWQ discussion page. The listing of that many individuals on the article of a station that has only existed for about seven years sets a dangerous precedent for the expansion of MANY other articles on Wikipedia about stations that have existed for MUCH longer. The main editor of the article is very likely the radio station's current night personality, whose ego is the driving force behind everything he does. I have no problem listing the members of the Bert Show and doing a very basic list of the other FULL-TIME personalities. But to list all of the part-timers, the traffic reporters, and all of the former personalities (making an exception for those who may have gone on to achieve things that justify them having their own Wiki pages) is a little overboard.--InDeBiz1 (talk) 03:07, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

National Tramway Museum tramcar list

I'm afraid i fail to see how it will be useful in any way. It was originally moved because it was deemed that the new name was better. Search terms... all the words are also in the other title. I really cba with RfD, and surely it should be a contested tag rather than removed.

I am prepared to get into all sorts of trouble with this page, 3RR etc. If YOU feel so strongly, then please get a 3O. And, please don't insult my intelligence by brandishing pages about how WP works. I am not stupid. Of course redirects don't have incoming links (then theyd be double-redirects). if you really want a redirect, a better one would be NTM tramcars.

And finally, why would people be looking for a list, when there's a page that outlines individual tramcars?

Speedy tag replaced - thats 2R.

Quick question

Hi. I have a quick question about the Texas Department of Criminal Justice article. I stumbled upon it and found there's loads of issues with it. I consulted another editor (who just tagged it for said issues) who agreed that what is written is basically original research and from the POV of someone who has been incarcerated. On the talk page, a user who admitted to being an ex-offender added the present content which seems like a COI in my opinion. Would I be completely out of line if I rolled back the article to its original version (February 17, 2007)? I would rewrite it, but most of the content that is currently presented cannot be referenced as it is not avaliable to the public and I just don't think what is presented is encyclopedic. Before I made any huge rollbacks, I just wanted to check with an admin first. Thanks! Pinkadelica (talk) 05:31, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm an ex-employee of TDCJ so when I read this, I realized how much this is actually someone's opinion and was written as such. I know that having an interest or going through an experience doesn't automatically mean it's a COI but, in my opinion, quite a bit of the article isn't neutral, factual or verifiable. Every prison is different so certain examples are not the norm and can't be proved. I won't rollback the article, but I will be restoring most of the original content if that's ok.

Nat.utoronto

Please ask him to refrain from playing edit wars under this thread:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_China_presidential_election%2C_2008

He is letting his political views (pro-KMT) influence his editing and has resorted to playing edit games with me. For example, when I tried to balance his one-side article in support of Ma Ying-jeuo, he cited the "no copying rule". However, while I can understand this rule would allow him to erase long quotations in my edits, he went further to modify other parts of the article not subject to this rule. As a result, I think he is trying to hide under this rule. What I did was to clearly state that Ma Ying-jeuo's proclamation of innocence is under Ma's own beliefs, and therefore it is justified to say "Ma believes" XYZ. Thanks.

MattMan24 concerns

You, RJ. I'm having a bit of trouble getting the report on the SSP page to show up. I've notified the guy and sure enough, no answer. Typical of Mascot Guy. So's his choice of subject matter. What am I doing wrong with the report? --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Beautiful. Works for me. Please do.  :) I hope I'm wrong about this because if it is Mascot Guy, he's the most prolific vandal in the history of this site. One of his old usernames a few years ago was his actual e-mail address, so I tried writing to it back in my "Lucky 6.9" days. Believe it or not, I heard back from his mom. He's an autistic teenager out of San Diego and while his mom tries to limit his online time, he just keeps coming back to Wikipedia. I don't think he's malicious, but oh boy, is he a pain. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

HI

If I deserve a warning (I don't think I do), then i am CERTAINLY not the only one who does. Please do not single me out. My edits for the page in question are merely reverting vandalism and hate speech, not that I owe you any explanation. Veritas Aequitas WikiTony (talk) 02:30, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, i swear i looked before i typed that and didn't see it. I still don't think I did anything to deserve a warning. I consider what I did removing vandalism. I update the portal and revert vandalism (see for yourself in my history) on that page on an almost daily basis. Also keep in mind the name of the portal is "current events," so sometimes multiple edits are required in a short period of time, because after all, the information is current. Also, the other editor has recently been warned for typing almost the exact same hateful speech on other pages. Every one of his edits under the IP he uses is an edit bashing Scientology. I really do not care about them or their beliefs but they do not deserve to be badmouthed in a place reserved for contemporary global affairs. I know I owe you no explanation, but it cannot hurt to have my thoughts on the matter in words. There is a time and a place for everything. Current events is not the place for intolerance. Like I said, I add and edit the portal almost daily. this is by no means a claim of ownership, only meaning that I think I know what I am talking about and my opinion on the subject should have some merit over somene whose sole purpose for adding the item is intolerance.

Carnatic Music article that needs extensive corrections

Please post on the discussion of ‘Carnatic Music’ why the 'Carnatic Music' article is locked from editing directly by editors. I am not contesting your decision. Just trying to understand the reasoning. Many editors are making badly needed changes to this article that currently contains distorted information. Detailed discussions are already posted. If it is still decided to lock this article a separate article on ‘Karnataka Classical Music’ needs to be started to state the real facts to Wikipedia readers. Both can be merged later based on fully validated facts and judgment of Admns who are also proven experts (need to disclose their qualifications about the topic on user’s page) on the topic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Naadapriya (talk • contribs) 19:30, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your response on my talk page. Your judgment is understandable.

IZAK

Hi, Rjd. I'd like to thank you for trying to mediation and step in between IZAK and I. I must say that his recent personal attacks (referring to my actions as Kristallnacht), calling my exactly two AfDs a "rampage of deletions" and now his threats to stop or "stronger action" are leaving me in a very difficult position. I want to be a party to the discussion but it's growing near impossible with IZAK's increasingly threating and uncivil statements. At this point I want to respond to the questions and concerns Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Judaism#Deletion_of_synagogue_articles but I genuinely fear to. What might you suggest?

  • You know, Bstone, for someone who was so tough and unrelenting with your nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beyt Tikkun and your stubborn renomination and defeat at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 February 14#Beyt Tikkun (closed) and the strong criticism that is being directed at you for your lack of good faith with your subsequent nominations of other synagogue articles for deletion in spite of all the arguments against that that are being posted against it, it is hard to believe that you must now run to an admin who has no real knowldege of Judaic subjects and who is only getting one side of the picture from you. May I respectfully suggest that just as you had no fear with doing what you did earlier, you continue with that attitude and be part of the serious debate about all this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism#Deletion of synagogue articles with the Judaic editors who have become increasingly concerned about your moves and aims with regards to syngagogue articles at this time.

I noticed you deleted the user page as blatant advertising. I was trying to find the guideline that supports the deletion. I checked Wikipedia:User page. There is some discussion on the talk page but I can not see a deffinitive answer to the deletion of user pages that advertise. I am not disagreeing with the decision I am just looking for clearification for future reference. Thanks in advance. GtstrickyTalk or C 16:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks... It does seem that it could use some clarification somewhere. Again, not disagreeing, but I seem to remember users being told to place content on their user pages (especially in WP:OR or WP:COI situations). It seems that the message has been "this is not appropriate as an article but feel free to put it on your talk page". I think we would let people violate the other speedie criteria (nonsense, test page, blanked page etc). The WP:NOT is a good rational and should possibly be added to the WP:User Page criteria.

Hi, a few days ago, I appealed a block I had been wrongly issued, and you replied and said reasonably that if I created a new account, there shouldn't be a problem. I have now done this, so therefore, I'm assuming you believe it is appropriate for me to go ahead with my constructive edits to the Maria Sharapova page (bearing in mind the edit logs show I did not reverse 64 edits, the offence I was blocked for), without fear of harrassment from the user BanRay? Thanks Masha4ever (talk) 23:31, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

You' were blocked for trolling, vandalism and disruption and not for directly reverting 64 edits. Again, you can propose your edits on the talk page and wait for green light there, but seeing that there is a clear consensus against your version, you should probably just move on and leave the page as it is. BanRay 23:47, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
No, BanRay, you issued me a warning for reverting 64 edits (Which is not the case - and in fact, are non-admins actually authorised to issue warnings?), then I was blocked for "failing to adhere to the warning", even though it wasn't legit in the first place. If I did not revert 64 edits, please tell me how I trolled or vandalised? I merely put through constructive edits. Masha4ever (talk) 23:51, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I didn't read your full comment before responding, so just to add to your other comments: is it Wikipedia policy to wait for the green-light? Because I believe Tennis expert didn't several weeks ago when he rewrote the Career section (the action that began this edit dispute). You say concensus is against me - actually, by my count, there's me, Musiclover565, that user who edited earlier today (please don't tell me you're going to accuse him/her of being me/ML565?). In addition, Escape Orbit has seen acknowledged the edits, and presumably saw no problem with them, seeing as he did not revert them. So that actually just leaves you and Tennis expert wanting the other version, doesn't it? Meaning concensus seems to be against you. Masha4ever (talk) 23:58, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Big Brother 10 page is back

I just wanted to let you know that the Big Brother 10 (U.S.) page is back. But this time I am not going to put it up for deletion due to the simple fact that Big Brother 10 will be our summer season and the UK already has their page Big Brother 2008 (UK) up for their ninth summer series. There was a discussion about it and it was keep so I feel we should just leave BB10 alone for now plus Survivor has their 17th and 18th season pages up. What do you think? ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 21:39, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Well for now I put a source to the House Calls episode that had Robyn Kass. I do think it is early for both Big Brother 2008 (UK) and Big Brother 10 (U.S.) but my stance is if one is acceptable to keep then the other is too. Plus the UK article doesn't have any sources while ours does. And I personally don't think we should make a fuss right now it is usually one of us that puts it up for deletion anyway. We have Big Brother 9 right now and that is a handful. Plus like I said with Survivor we should just let it say unless someone else slaps it for AfD. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 22:09, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: post on my talk page

Well, I have been battling this guy for quite some time. He apparently has access to a dynamic IP assigner, because every so often, a different IP address comes on and starts changing all these different articles' categories from "in Orlando, Florida" to "in Orange County, Florida", as well as saying they are southwest, northwest, etc. of Orlando instead of saying they are near Orlando. I am not the only one who reverts this guy. Someone else does it with an edit summary that says something like "rv per consensus on talk page". I am using huggle, so I don't usually use a custom edit summary. In any case, the guy who is changing articles does so slightly faster than I can revert with huggle, so there is no way he is just doing it with his hands and a keyboard. He is using some sort of a web program to change article en masse.I have no idea what his point is. Saying that Seaworld is in Orlando is the same as saying that Cedar Point is in Sandusky. Neither are technically in those cities, as there is not enough room, but they are near those cities, and thus they are associated with them. Also, I am not an admin, so I do not know why you are telling me you disagree with the page protection. J.delanoygabsadds 20:20, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

What's wrong with correctly categorizing Magic Kindom as being in Orange County?

I was hoping that you would add back in at least the POV tags added by Xiutwel to the September 11, 2001 Attacks page. If you check the last edit on there, you'll see that it undid two edits which I made. If you feel that they were justified, I'd appreciate revert. If not, can you help me understand why they aren't? Thanks, Dscotese (talk) 01:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:NewWJBKlogo.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:NewWJBKlogo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

My request for bureaucratship

Dear Rjd0060, thank you for taking part in my RfB. As you may know, it was not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to call me out. ~ Riana ⁂ 04:44, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Featured Topic Drive

By Maxim

The original featured topic drive, initiated by Scorpion0422, has concluded succesfully. National Hockey League awards is now a featured topic, with 24 articles in total. Of them, 20 are featured lists, one is a featured article, and the other three are trophy articles that were too short to become featured lists. Eight users signed up to help out, shown here. The next Featured Topic hasn't been decided upon, and the ideas and organization for it fell apart. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share them at WT:HOCKEY.

edit 
Notes
  • More editors are needed to help out with the newsletter. The newsletter creator doesn't have an infinite nor perfect supply of ideas, and thus he might omit some interesting news.
  • Portal:Ice hockey is being considered for featured status.
  • Should Chris Pronger have been suspended for more than eight games for stomping on Ryan Kesler? Vote here!
  • Help Patrik Stefan -- one of the greatest NHL draft busts -- become a GA status article.

Question?

Hi, long time no talk :) I have a question, I thought sandboxes or user sub-pages were for the sole purpose of helping/bettering a Wikipedia article? Remember User:ScottAHudson well I noticed he has a lot of subpages related to various reality shows. The Big Brother test pages he has looks like copies/replicas of Big Brother 3 (U.S.), Big Brother 4 (U.S.), Big Brother 7 (U.S.) and Big Brother 9 (U.S.) with the voting history table he suggested during Big Brother 8 (U.S.) but a consensus was reached to continue using the current one? Does these test pages violate Wikipedia rules. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 00:11, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah okay, thanks I just wasn't sure if it was acceptable or not. Thanks. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 01:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

RE: Couple things

I have an alternate logo taken from recent episodes on my computer that doesn't have the "'Till Death Do You Part" subtitle. Do you want me to upload it seperate or just have it replace the current image? I think that is good idea since other projects do it. What do you think about a starting a newsletter? I have been thinking about doing it since other projects have one. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 21:03, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Update: I have went through all the articles relating to Big Brother and I have tagged all images. I think a newsletter is necessary after seeing some of the other countries articles. I mean the US, UK, Australia, Philippines, and somewhat Africa looks presentable. For the rest eck! Most of the articles have duplicate information from the fan site worldofbigbrother.com and a lot of the tables don't follow the guidelines for a nominations/voting history table. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 22:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Is it wrong for a user (registered or not) to change the replies that one person lives on their own talk page? 91.105.221.196 did that after I left a kind reply.

Descent 2 - semi protection of D2X-XL chapter rejected

The D2X-XL chapter of the Descent 2 article has been a target for plain vandalism or malevolent changes of its content for over a year. The issue has just started to get heated today, when a few people involved with the Descent community had decided to take this to a new level and mark the chapter as advertisement, restoring the mark whenever I remove it. You may want to take a look at that chapter. If you decide it's an advertisement, I will accept the decision. The people currently at work are however acting out of a deep personal resentment against me, and the Wikipedia entry is only a vehicle for their destructivity. FYI: Here is a link to a thread of the biggest English speaking Descent community forum, where the issue is discussed: http://www.descentbb.net/viewforum.php?f=37

Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology

I see Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology was deleted, but I was more puzzled to find Hersfold (talk · contribs) removing all incoming links. Hersfold says that he was acting on your request. To be sure, there is little doubt that FASEB is notable, and I'm therefore not convinced that all the links need to be removed. Could you clarify the situation? JFW | T@lk 00:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree, this was a really unnecessary action. Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology is perfectly valid and important article (also indicated by the number of wikilinks). You should not remove redlinks, and redirects simply because an article was deleted due to copyvio issues. The article was recreated immediately with non-copyvio content. Please take your time to check each case individually! Also, please try to remember all deleted redirects and reinstate them. Thanks, Сасусlе 02:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
(cross posted) Sorry to the 3 of you for the confusion. Yes, I deleted the article as a complete copyright violation. The links that were removed by Hersfold, was after I had asked him to do it, as my tool wasn't functioning properly. In this specific case, the links did not have to be removed and it may have in fact been best to leave them, to allow for recreation of the article without copyright violations. My apologies for this error, and thanks for bringing it to my attention. - Rjd0060 (talk) 03:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Tighina

I notice you have blocked the page Bender, Moldova from being moved by the request of Mikkalai. That user has abused his powers in previously protecting the page.

Refer to the Wikipedia protection policy at Wikipedia:Protection_policy#Move_protection:

"administrators should avoid favoring one name over another, and protection should not be considered an endorsement of the current name."

However Mikkalai has stated that: "This is the official name of the city, according to the evidence presented. Period" in order to justify his actions.

There was previously a proposal to move the page, however it ended with no consensus. This definitely doesn't favour either name. I would be interested to hear your reasons for further protecting the page at his request. Rapido (talk) 10:42, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

What do you suggest we do to address User:Calton's tagging?

Calton continues, I randomly pulled user out of Calton's many spam warning contributions over the past day and got this one: User_talk:Billseidle - the user has never been blocked, let alone indef blocked. Should I start a separate WP:AN thread to address this issue? What are your recommendations? Calton never responded to your request for an explanation.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 23:12, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Have you ever left a note on his talk page, asking him why he does it? . . . (posted at User talk:Doug)
Most certainly, you will recall this recent post by me at Wikipedia:AN#Talk_pages_for_indef_users (which we agreed was slightly off topic) :
Well, no offense Calton, but I know you commonly tag userpages as spam and then add {{temporary userpage}} to their talk pages. Several admins have addressed this issue with you before, including me, but we apparently have a clear difference of opinion over the proper usage of {{temporary userpage}}. (See User_talk:Calton#Temporary_userpage.3F, User_talk:Calton#Template:temporary_userpage, User_talk:Calton#Tagging_user_pages_of_unblocked_users, User_talk:Calton#Template:temporary_userpage_2). If I notice these I review them. Some of these are in fact indef blocked and don't have an indef block tag, so the {{temporary userpage}} tag is valid. Others have never been blocked, let alone indef blocked. If you look at CAT:TEMP you'll probably find that many, if not most, usertalkpages are due to {{temporary userpage}} on the talk page - though I'm not saying they're all there due to Calton - I have no idea. Alternatively, [28] will give a good starting place if you go through the ones tagged as spam in particular (Calton puts the template in the edit summary so this is pretty easy). --Doug.(talk • contribs) 23:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
There are four notices to Calton there, comprising the concerns of five separate admins, the last one is mine. When Calton replies, it sounds like "Don't complain to me, I just tag them, complain to the admins who are deleting" - that's a paraphrase not a quote. Of course, the complaining parties are the admins. In at least one case, the third one above, Calton appears to convince the admin that he doesn't understand policy and should be deleting these. There is at least one other notice on his page regarding inappropriate use of CSD against user talk pages too. Calton's attitude seems to be that these pages don't belong here so I won't stop tagging them. I'm a new admin and don't really know the best way to handle this, several very experienced admins seem to have given up already. Problem is, from that AN thread we have evidence that some admins have been just cleaning out the queue and maybe not always noticing whether the user was actually indef blocked (of all the tags that I'm aware of that feed CAT:TEMP, {{temporary userpage}} is the only one that is not clearly an indef blocked tag) --Doug.(talk • contribs) 23:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
So, any thoughts on this?--Doug.(talk • contribs) 15:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Vonita

He canvassed once.[30] I warned him to stop it.[31] He blanked it.[32]

He sent me an attacking message "You are a page blanking vandal. That is all you are and all you ever will be." But what disturbs me the most is that a user who has not made even 50 edits yet tells me to read WP:MOS.[33] I find it futile to warn him again as he has blanked one. Ultra! 14:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry you have been dragged into this and I do not know why he has chosen to involve you since he went to WP:ANI and I replied there.
I copy my reply here as well:
First of all, it is she not he. Secondly, I am taking my time to read all Wikipedia policies before I make substantive edits. It's a pity he does not since he manages to annoy. It is deplorable that he comes running to WP:ANI. As for the comment about him being a Page Blanking Vandal, that is a true statement of fact. He has been blocked twice from Wikipedia for being a page blanking vandal. That all came out in his humilliating attempt to become a Wikipedia Admin. Read the RfA to see how united people were against his application. It was not canvassing to inform User:Maddyfan about this [[34]]. Note the comments made by User:hbdragon88 about Vikrant Phadkay's outbursts of temper and acts of vandalism that led him twice to being blocked from Wikipedia. (he changed his screen name to Ultraviolet scissor flame).
Maddyfan at that point was in dispute with him and had warned him about being blocked again. Look here User talk:Ultraviolet scissor flame/Archive 3#Madonna.
I warned Vikrant Phadkay not to leave rude messages on my Talk Page again as did user:emerson 7, look here User talk:Ultraviolet scissor flame/Archive 4#i have been warned?.
He was the one who first left an attack message on my page. As for "blanking", he removed my message from his talk page and it was only afterwards that I removed his message from mine.
Look at his Talk Page User talk:Ultraviolet scissor flame/Archive 4 to see how many warnings he has received from other editors and how many photos, he uploaded, have been deleted from Wikipedia because of copyright violations.
He needs to learn that if he is nice to others then others will be nice to him and if he is rude to others then others will be rude to him. That is how life is.

Chandu thanks you for reverting the mistagging. Image:ChanduTheMagician.jpg. EraserGirl (talk) 16:28, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Can you explain something small? Your comment on the Incidents page "Actually, the image isn't being used, as evident from the empty "File links" section on the Image description page. " Confuses me. as the image has always been linked to the article and vice versa. I didn't fix the link and it doesn't appear that you did, so how was it ever empty? EraserGirl (talk) 04:00, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Well then you are in error, the image has been displayed ON the page since it was added, not just linked but actually appeared in the infobox. I can see if the image size was incorrect there might be a problem but it didn't prevent the image from actually being seen and yes the file link was actually THERE when I checked all the info on the image page after the bot tagged it. Perhaps you are confused. No matter it is all fixed now. Thanks again for fixing the tag. EraserGirl (talk) 12:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Actually I only briefly came back to correct some absurd references in a "Middle East" article about Pakistan. I wasn't intending on coming back for good.

Why did you fully protect the page? I can understand a semi-protect, but a full is absurd. Every other article about the Playboy "playmates" that I have seen here on Wikipedia includes the disputed information. While I disagree with the tactics employed by a certain editor, I agree with his basic point. Playboy is a reliable source for articles about the "playmates," unless someone can make a darn good argument as to why it's not, in my opinion.

I guess I'm not asking you to unprotect the page. I am asking you to restore the information that was being disputed because, in the end, it is accurate and it is standard information for articles of this nature. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 00:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Roald als title page

Hi Ryan, I was searching the Wikipedia talk:How to edit a page for information about a slight problem that I needed to fix, but couldn't find an answer. I saw your sig in the history section and decided to ask an admin directly. I created an article page recently but failed to capitalize the title name. (I confess that I am an idiot, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a fairly common problem.) Is it possible to correct this with a simple page edit -- or will I need to recreate an entirely new page under the correctly capitalized name and then submit the older version for deletion?

Hi -- I wonder if you might reconsider the deletion of Mudhouse Mansion. It's mentioned on several WP articles, and I sunk a fair amount of work into it, as it's a good example for folkloristics. It gets 1410 google hits, and really does (IMHOP) pass the notability test. Somehow, I failed to put it on my watchlist, or I'd have offered input long before the deletion notice expired.

Tibet during the Ming Dynasty

Point taken on my repeated reversions in this article today. I am stopping. But can we get an administrator to look at this a little more closely? If you look at the quality of the article, and you look at the quality of User:LaGrandefr's edits in both the main article and the talk page, you'll see that User:LaGrandefr's edits are tantamount to vandalism. Several users have tried repeatedly to reason with him and advise him, but he generally seems not even to understand what is going on. It looks to me like some mixture of ill will and incompetence on User:LaGrandefr's part. As such, I reverted his edits today without comment, as is commonly done to unconstructive edits.

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 04:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hindemburg Melão Jr.

I saw that you deleted this article because of an expired prod. I basically supported the prod but I am a little surprised by what happened. I thought that I saw in my watchlist earlier today that some IP editor removed the prod (and, if I remember correctly the edit summary, removed the notability tag as well) and that then User:Tosqueira restored the notability tag. As I said, I am personally in favor of deleting the article but would like to make sure that it was done correctly in the procedural sense. I could be wrong and maybe that IP editor did not actually remove the prod but only the notability tag. I did not actually look at the article when this was happening and only saw the edit summaries in my watchlist. In any event, could you please double-check?

Raquel Evita Saraswati (Seidel)

Why has her former name, marriage, and religious heritage been deleted? These are all common, mundane, non-libelous elements of a biography. How do they violate the BLP guidelines?

If this persists, I will bring it up with Jimbo. If the wikipedia bureaucrats are skewing information, this is a serious matter indeed.

You have NOT stated how the information deleted violates the BLP guidelines. Why has her former name, marriage, and religious heritage been deleted? Virtually all wikipedia biographies contain this information; Carlos Memen for example. Plus, all of this information is public. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.150.34.208 (talk) 01:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Because you cannot add unconfirmed information to a biography article. But the information IS confirmed. The marriage is a matter of public record. Her other name has been confirmed -- by herself on Wikipedia no less, and in other places -- as being her other name. Her religious affiliation during college is noted in public records (scholarship announcements in an offline newspaper) as well. So, please explain to me what information is 'unconfirmed'-- or let the information stand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.150.34.208 (talk) 10:03, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

No offense, but... (Yeah, I know what that means—I'm going to tear you apart but don't be offended :P )

Seriously, I own a PS3 and I know many people who own PS3s and Xbox 360s. I can assure you, PlayStation 3 should probably remain semi-protected until the PS4 comes out (i.e. at least until 2011, probably longer.)

Basically what I am saying is, don't unprotect PlayStation 3. There is no way it will not be vandalized until the PS4 comes out. Even then, I'm not so sure. J.delanoygabsadds 18:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Here is the section you seemed to miss "Anonymous edits that blank all or part of a biography of a living person should be evaluated carefully.

How does it not violate this "Wikipedia also contains biographies of people who, while notable enough for an entry, are not generally well known. In such cases, editors should exercise restraint and include only material relevant to their notability, while omitting information that is irrelevant to the subject's notability."

Permissions for Images

Hello User:Rjd0060

I was recently given permission by a company to upload some images, also recently had some previously uploaded images put into question as possibly unfree. I just noticed that you had placed OTRS permission tags on those said images, and am wondering if you could tell me the best bay to upload the new one's I have been given permission to release, without having these also tagged?

Deletion of Cuthbert Blanedale Frunk

Hey Rjd, I wanted to drop you a line to protest this deletion. I think the PROD was pretty off; as a fictional character, it's tough to establish any kind of real-world notability outside the books, as you well know. However, WP:OTHERSTUFF aside, targeting that one article out of the slew of Redwall character articles that we have seems a little unnecessary and unfair. Would you consider restoring it, or at least merging it to a different article, like List of Long Patrol hares? If you choose the latter, I'll be happy to help. Thanks.

DELETION OF THE CHUCK LEONARD PAGE

Chuck Leonard was a notable disc jockey because he was the first African American (and if I'm not mistaken the only African Amercian) to work at WABC on the air and the reason for that was because back in the 60s as you probably remember ws the time of the Civil Rights Movement. Chuck Leonard did something what not a lot of people were able to do, he became one of the most popular and most remembered radio Disc Jockey's on the air at WABC and he became known across the country. Also, if I remember correctly, I never saw a notice on the Chuck Leonard page about it being deleted if noone said why Chuck Leonard should be remembered. SO I think the page should be put back up. Thank you

--Chrismaster1 (talk) 19:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Midnight Cabaret

Did you see my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Midnight Cabaret? I'm thinking of taking this to DRV (or perhaps I don't need to, maybe I can just nominate for deletion again??). My concern is that clearly the solution the original nominator and his supporter were aiming for hasn't actually been achieved. The article is back in the state it was. Further, if this theatre company are notable, then the users writing about it are doing the right thing in putting their article where a redirect used to be (although they should add a hatnote). Yet if they're not notable, allowing the AfD to run its term would establish a consensus to that effect - thereby enabling any further recreation to be speedied, or the redirect to be protected, or whatever other action then becomes necessary. Do you agree? AndyJones (talk) 12:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

  • My initial response was only on the basis that I did not think it was a deletion matter. Also, the only reason that the solution myself and Lugnuts agreed on didn't appear to be implimented is because the apparent single purpose editor insists on reverting it. I look forward to a more binding outcome being formed and I welcome the gathering of consensus to allow this. Regards, WilliamH (talk) 17:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Spike O' Neill Page

Hello, you recently deleted and protected this page, citing the reason of 'A7 Nothing noteworthy about person'. Spike is a Pacific Northwest radio personality, with a fairly sizeable listener base. I created the page as a placeholder to be filled in. He had expressed on air an opinion that wikipedia was an unreliable source of information, and I contacted the show with a challenge, proposing that they announce the pages existance to the listeners. The point was to test the speed and accuracy that the page could be created once it was announced. PLEASE undelete and protect this pave ASAP, as continuing this blockage is going to produce negative publicity for wikipedia. If in another week or so there is still no worthwile content, his point will have been validated, and you can delete it again.

Actually, that isnt the point at all. Quite the opposite. There is no encouragement to vandalize the page or wikipedia in general in any way, shape, or form.

Deletion review for Dark Horizons: Lore

You chose to delete the article for this game that I and a thousand other players participate in because you subjectively claimed it was a "non-notable game without sources" and I wish to counter the deletion.

I take offense to your reasons for deletion, unfortunately by your criteria, almost every "indie" game or game related product or service made that is listed on Wikipedia should be deleted because it is non-notable. As for your "lack of sources" just how many sources do you need? Do you want every link listed where a person can buy this game electronicly and retail? What about all the fan sites? You tube vidoes? etc. I listed a decent amount to begin with which I felt was adiquate, but if you would like more I can go forth and deposit more if you feel that this is enough to qualify it as "sources" to proove it actually exists and that people play it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LoganCDN (talk • contribs) 15:49, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Small question

I can understand why you closed the 3RR request as you did, but I have to wonder: Who's responsibility is it to start a discussion on the talk page, the editor who made the initial bold edit or the editor has said, or is going to say, "No, that's wrong"?

In this case, I've got a bad feeling that if it were me (2nd editor) I would have been the only one posting to the talk. No, that isn't assuming bad faith, I can see that the ball started with an edit that, in that editor's opinion, improved the article. It the sinking feeling that the editor was disinclined to discuss it. And yes, by extension that means it's a dead issue since that version has "won", that image is up and the other is in a likelihood going to be deleted. I could start the conversation, but why would the other editor want to even bother?

I've also run into situations that make me wonder how long an edit has to be in place before it stops being the "bold initial edit". Worst case (not this situation) was a removal of stuff that had been in an article for over a year. The editor removing it took the position that the inclusion, not the removal, was the bold edit that had to be justified. Now I'm second guessing, was the image change or my reversal of it the bold edit that needs to be justified.

- J Greb (talk) 23:11, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry that read as a request to rehash this specific dispute, but that's the one that has left me very, very confused.
Looking at where your decision left it, I'm not sure if I'm even supposed to initiate edits, much less respond to them with out posting to the talk page.
That's what I was asking. Where in the generic cycle should I be thinking "Talk page, I'll start the thread"? In general, is it different when I initial a bold edit and when I respond to one? And, regarding the last paragraph above, in general when is an edit an initial bold one instead of a response to one?
I though I knew those things. I'm no longer sure.

Vatican twins

I noticed that you speedily deleted the Vatican twins redirect I created. The term is a synonym for Irish twins. I read the term in "The Antelope Wife" by Louise Erdrich, had no idea what it meant, and spent a considerable amount of time trying to find out the definition. Eventually, a friend of mine found the definition of the term in a book, and I determined to place the information on Wikipedia so that no one would have to go through all that effort to find out the meaning of that term again. Why was it speedily deleted? Neelix (talk) 12:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I was not notified about the deletion suggestion before the PROD expired, so I didn't find out about the deletion until now. I do not see how either of the two guidelines you quoted are applicable in this case. The article to which Vatican twins redirected was merged into the sibling article, not deleted. For this reason, it would make sense for Vatican twins to now redirect to the "Irish twins" section of sibling. As for WP:WINAD, that guideline was written in order to keep unencyclopedic stubs from being created. If a concept has two different names, either name should direct a user to the appropriate article when it is typed into the search bar. That is the purpose of redirects. Would you object if I recreated Vatican twins as a redirect to Sibling#Irish_twins? Neelix (talk) 16:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I had no idea The Citizen or Canwest Global Media contacted Wikipedia to remove the 31 year old images with no commercial value in them. It hard to believe their sole reason is self-centered selfish possessiveness. I believe it is more an attempt at subterfuge which I have also detected on this site in relation to my 1981, 4000 mile hike to Whitehorse, Yukon to draw attention to Revelation 19.11. Having recused myself from editing the article, rightly so, I have been pleading with other editors to correct the obvious gap in the article vis a vis the 1986 trip east to complete the Canada wide mission. Maclean's Magazine provided written permission to use their script in the article but it is orphaned because the reference to it is removed. There has been no speedy action on this either.

My article on [36] was deleted for not meeting the notability requirements. There have been several articles in the QSR Magazine, the top independent publication in the fast food industry, discussing Mediox's concept. The company is the first one one the market to bring digital signate into fast food outlets and holds several seminal patents in the field. Its software is open source with several independent open source programmers developing applications. Please check www.mediox.com for latest news. If possible, please re-instate the article.

Willamette Falls Community Hospital Heliport

Any particular reason why you decided to single out the above article an not any of the others: List of private-use airports in Oregon & List of airports in Oregon? --Trashbag (talk) 19:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

just visiting, but it does seem that we need a general policy discussion on this. Not sure which way I'd go. DGG (talk) 23:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
I examined the list of articles mentioned above, and it seems that we do include every possible private airport on official lists, including that of other hospitals. I'm not sure whether individual articles on them are a good idea or not--I think that a list usually s enough for all the information available. But it does seem a little problematic to delete a particular individual article from that list because someone has happened to notice it. Not my main interest of course, and probably not your's, but it should get some attention from those who do care. Anyhow,should you tell the user than a prodded article can be restored as a matter of course on request? DGG (talk) 23:43, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

"Yes, because as evident from the articles deletion log, this is the only article that was proposed for deletion. - Rjd0060 (talk) 20:49, 15 July 2008 (UTC)" --What? That makes absolutly no sense. Please restore the article if you have no other basis then "because I saw only this one." --Trashbag (talk) 12:57, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Note that Rjd0060 only deleted the article, s/he is not the user who placed the Prod tag, so you might want to look at the page history and check in with that user as well... Katr67 (talk) 21:10, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Just for the record, I'm the one who proposed this action. I acknowledge that DGG is right that a general discussion need to occur rather than a bit by bit deletion. Pdbailey (talk) 00:28, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
That is not how WP:PROD works. If you're proposing deletion, perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the process. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you mean when you say, "That" in "That is not how WP:PROD works." Maybe the confusion is that "acknowledge" is present tense, not past tense. Pdbailey (talk) 03:23, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
I was just referring to your comment ("DGG is right that a general discussion need to occur rather than a bit by bit deletion"). Perhaps I misunderstood you. I deleted this article solely because it was Proposed for deletion, nobody contested within 5 days. I did not delete any related articles because they were not proposed for deletion. - Rjd0060 (talk) 03:28, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Yes, that's exactly the section that I now (00:28, 17 July 2008 and forward) acknowledge is correct. Glad we cleared that up. Pdbailey (talk) 03:32, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Easily Embarrassed

Hey, I'm a little new to Wikipedia and it's still a bit overwhelming. I had trouble with my first article's casing (Easily embarrassed) and I probably went wrong about trying to rename it myself, as I had moved content to new article Easily Embarrassed and made redirect from old article Easily embarrassed to Easily Embarrassed. I suppose I should have read more into wiki policy, but there is just so much :) Now I went to the deletion log and altough I don't understand what TW is, I do understand Easily embarrassed was deleted and in follow up I understand you or somebody then proposed deletion for the real article Easily Embarrassed. I just haven't been around to see it and respond within 5 days I suppose and now it is gone :( Are you able to restore this one or something? I'd like to continue on it. Also any pointers to wiki pages I should read are appreciated. Thanks Ayane1985 (talk) 15:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh come on! Did you look at the contribs of the "suspected" socks and the accuser? You really shouldn't take the word of day old accounts over the edit trails of two users that have been here for years.
By the way the accuser is a documented sock. MARussellPESE (talk) 15:24, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Did you notice that the accuser had already filled in the conclusions? So, if I get this straight. The word of a days old SPA account is given the same weight as that of two seasoned editors who've never crossed paths before? And an accusation that already fills in the conclusion is not an attack. Thanks. MARussellPESE (talk) 15:33, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Wait a minute. You resolved the IR concluding that this was not an attack page. When people come to administrators, we're looking for a little more discrimination than house-keeping.

Evidence:

  1. The accuser filled in the conclusions themselves[37]
  2. The accuser is a days-old and obviously an SPA account[38]
  3. The two accused are years-old and have entirely different editing patterns[39][40]

Removing evidence of new 3RR violation

Hello Rjd0060, yesterday you mentioned on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR that if the anonymous user with IP address 86.83.155.44 would continue with edit warring it would result in a block. You wrote there:

"If the user resumes edit warring, he'll be blocked." [41]

Well, he did continue as several users mentioned on that page. My evidence of a new 3RR violation was removed for 3 times by him

By doing so 3 times within 30 minutes this resulted in yet yet another edit war. I cannot undo that anymore since that would mean I also was violating the 3RR. Please take some action. - Robotje (talk) 14:41, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Min Chen

Hi. Ok, I know the article was deleted due to a PROD, but since I have no idea who put up the PROD, I will ask here. Compare the murder of Alicia Ross, an incident of similar media coverage in Canada, with a similar outcome (murderer convicted of second-degree), and thus, in theory, have similar notability. "Single incident coverage", how is that different from the Alicia Ross case, other than the fact that the victim in this case was a minor? Also, what specific BLP concerns were raised? Apparently we must get the article right, but a search for "Cecilia Zhang" finds thousands of potential news sources. If an article is not warranted, should there not be a brief mention in a particular related article? Thanks. ~AH1(TCU) 15:07, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I only just noticed thatInhabitants was deleted "This is a game that was never developed, as part of the GOAT game line. The article was a violation of WP:CRYSTAL, and now it turns out it never was published for the Dreamcast. Totally non-notable."

I'm a little surprised as well, since its easily verifiable that it was released and is for sale.

AI effect (2)

Hello

I have asked you around a month ago about the rightfulness of your decision to speedy-delete the article about the AI effect, however, since I did not receive any answer until now, I wanted to notify you once again, in case it got overlooked. You wrote a short explanation in the deletion log, saying that the article lacked a good reference, but I think this could have been fixed easily in this specific case. I couldn't also understand why the article was lacking of notability, when it is a much debated phenomena within the field of A.I. and there were at least five pages on wikipedia that linked directly to the article, such as

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_artificial_intelligence

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loebner_prize

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Artificial_intelligence

I have never been really affectionated to such radical methods like deletion reviews, so I'm asking you again to restore the article or respectively giving further explanations about the reasons for deleting it.

Thank you and best regards -- Columnist (talk) 13:17, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

RE2: AI effect

Hello Rjd0060

Thank you for the response. The correct adress of the article is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect

It had since been restored and deleted again; Although I do not understand what the reason for restoring/deleting was, I suppose (regarding the comments in the deletion log) that the article page had been redirected to a user page, and that this redirect had been removed again later.

Please contact me if you have any more questions.

best regards -- Columnist (talk) 10:43, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Can you specify which parts of the article need to be changed in order to perform a restoring? (In my opinion, the article is short enough to meet the criteria for being a stub, but I don't think that it would in any way meet the criteria for a PROD, which would mean that it was an uncontroversial deletion candidate) -- Columnist (talk) 17:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out with this. There is a soccer player named Jack Wilshere who was just recently made a starting player.

He needs to be dealt with. He will not be swayed from putting that information in again and again. The stuff I really cared about is gone, so I'm more or less fine. However, the insistence of him to keep up this laughable debate and his unwillingness to even have a reasonable debate about the subject...it's very bad. He doesn't need to be blocked for 24-48 hours, he needs to be on indefinite block IMHO.

Deletion review for Thomas Wm. Hamilton

PP on UDR

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
Would you guys mind not bringing the dispute to my talk page? Thanks. - Rjd0060 (talk) 15:06, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Rjd0060 could you please explain to me how you came to the conclusion that User:The Thunderer was tag teamed on the UDR page. So you feel that User:Jdorney here, User:Valenciano here, User:Blueputtnam here, User:Maxburgoyne here and myself here all teamed up together got consensus on the talk page which also included User:Traditional unionist here just to lure The Thunderer into breaching 3RR. This is a ludicrous claim, so what you mean is five editors who disagree with an addition to an article and all get consensus and remove it are all part of a tag team. BigDuncTalk 22:54, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

No Dunc, no-one thinks Max and TU were involved and there is friendly dialogue to support that, plus Max made a number of edits which were absolutely fine. As for Jdorney, Blueputtnam. and Valenciano - who knows. Why did they suddenly start deleting the same item you've been tring to delete for a week? Why did you not make them aware of the situation as I did with Max? You've been spotted tag teaming before and it looks as if you're doing it now but that can all be cured if the disruptive edits stop. I keep repeating my words - play fair and you and I will get along fine on this article. As I said on your own page; the olive branch is extended.The Thunderer (talk) 00:02, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, just to say, I had no knowledge of controversey on the UDR page, though I suppose I could have predicted it, nor have I had any contact with BigDunc before. i just edited it as I saw it. If my edits are disputed I'll discuss them, but I'm not involved in some sort of conspiracy against the Thunderer, who, likwise, I had no previous knowledge of. Jdorney (talk) 15:42, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I accept you acted in good faith. Please do join in the editing and discussion of the article at User:The Thunderer/Ulster Defence Regiment whilst the main article is under protection. Your input would be much appreciated.The Thunderer (talk) 15:59, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
As above. I've had no contact with BigDunc and such unfounded allegations are not only unproductive, they're also a breach of WP:AGF. I would suggest that even when the article is unprotected you would discuss controversial additions like that rather than blindly reverting. I won't be about here much for the rest of the month but I'll have a look at the article in September and hopefully we can come up with agreement then. Valenciano (talk) 10:08, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
I can only apologise that you were wrongly implicated. I have to confess that I don't think it was entirely my fault but I have to accept my part in it and for that I am very sorry. It has been rather emotive on that article.The Thunderer (talk) 15:04, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

UDR Proposals

I have started a work page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_Thunderer/Ulster_Defence_Regiment and also posted a set of objectives on the talk page. I've invited BigDunc and others to participate in an editing and discussion session to see if we can agree something which might resolve the issues which seem to exist. I would very much appreciate your examining the objectives and perhaps commenting or correcting anything which you think is inappropriate.The Thunderer (talk) 14:00, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I think the dust has settled on that particular edit war now and it may be appropriate to open the article for editing again as fresh, interesting and friendly dialogue is going on at the workpage. Would you mind examining the evidence and considering an unblock? Obviously, and if it is possible, I would appreciate you monitoring the situation for a few days.The Thunderer (talk) 19:38, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
If you don't feel it's time yet then I will respect your judgement. My main reason for the request was to let the new editors in to have a go at reshaping the article. Their logic is sound and reasonable in my opinion. I realise there is the danger of further skirmishes however and am content to wait.The Thunderer (talk) 19:42, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Edit War

Wow. Three admins (now four, it seems) gang up on me and I'm the one who is engaged in an "edit war." If you'd like me to initiate an admin-abuse claim against all four of you, just keep doing what you're doing. -- Skaraoke (talk) 18:10, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Holywell, Swords

The article relating to the community where I and 2000 other people live was deleted as a non-notable housing estate on 23 April. I disagree with this interpretation of the Holywell community and if I had been aware of the proposal for deletion I would have made my views known and discuses with the proposers.

Dismissiveness

Would you please restore the Dismissiveness article to my user space, as it was deleted without notifying me as the creator on my talk page. Dhaluza (talk) 09:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I've seen the discussion. Restoring an article to user space is a courtesy that any admin can do for someone who wants to work on the article, but it is also a courtesy to ask the admin who deleted the article first. Your response on my talk page indicates that you are either unfamiliar with this process, or unnecessarily defensive. Either way, if you decline to restore it, I can always ask another admin. Dhaluza (talk) 15:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
I did not say this was a requirement, just a courtesy that most admins would do for an editor who wants to work on a deleted article. BTW, WP:DICDEF is one of the easist concerns to address, and should be handled with care at AfD, since all articles start out with a definition. For a specific example in this case, see [47] as a source of content that could be added to expand this article. I prefer to work on it in my user space, so please restore it there with the history as requested. Thanks. Dhaluza (talk) 15:54, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. I can now see that it was in fact edited down to a dicdef by User:Cumulus Clouds who then nominated it for deletion on this basis (and without seeking my input as creator). Rather dirty pool IMHO. Dhaluza (talk) 16:06, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Have a look now, and see if the subject really couldn't be more than a WP:DICDEF.
Would you consider overturning your close of the AfD, since the point of the discussion is now moot. Dhaluza (talk) 12:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Oversight question

Hi. :) I note that you cleared the article Paul Doktor after receiving verification of permission. I'm so glad it came through! I'm dropping you a line to see if you are also handling clearing Yaltah Menuhin. The articles were created by the same user and sourced to the same website, and the copy of the permissions letter he cc'ed to me addressed both articles. I don't know, of course, if he sent another letter to the Communications Committee that only covered the one. However, I thought I would check, since the second article covered in the same letter may have been overlooked. Please let me know if I should forward that letter to Permissions again. I had such trouble contacting the gentleman in the first place, thanks to e-mail wonkishness, that I'd hope not to have to ask him to send the letter again himself.

I'll be watching your talk page, so feel free to answer here. On the other hand, I'm comfortable with an answer at my own page, too. I like to keep complex conversations together for continuity, but this one shouldn't be that complex, I shouldn't think. :D

Thanks for any enlightenment you can offer. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:40, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks so much! I'm so glad to mark that one off the "to do" list. Certainly one of the most complex copyright clearance situation I've ever gotten involved in!

Deletion of Afterburn(Carowinds)

Hi there, I'm a little confused as to why the article on the roller coaster Afterburn was deleted. The deletion log says it was proposed because of lack of notability, but I don't see how Afterburn is any less notable than many of the other rides in the same park.

Basically I'm wondering why this article was singled out.

Thanks, Abowers87 (talk) 04:07, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, okay, it isn't called "Administrator reports", but this is more informative to a new person finding their way around. If they want to report something to the administrators, they'll click on "Administrator reports", but there is a higher chance they'll be confused with "Administrators'", because the latter could almost be construed as a place where admins exclusively posted. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 02:18, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


Image removal

Hi, Is there a policy discussion somewhere about image removal vs replacement? I fixed the image from Marian Doctrines page by using another, but instead of removing it, is there a better way of admins replacing them? I am no Wiki-experet, but pleas esuggest that to other admins as a policy issue. Thanks History2007 (talk) 05:39, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

No problem, I usually have no idea what I am talking about either.

Intervention it is an admin removing images inline with policy. Once again you are involved in an edit war, with an admin now, who removed images from your article. I seem to recal that you said you would not engage in any more edit wars so as to avoid a block for edit warring, but yet again you are, and the article is only unprotected. God forbid an editor who trys to change this article to anything that YOU dont like doesnt matter if you are violating policy just a case of I put it there and it stays. BigDuncTalk 17:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I am not getting involved in this dispute. - Rjd0060 (talk) 17:26, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Firstly: I didn't know the guy was an admin to start with. When I reverted his removal of the images I posted a discussion message on his talk page. Secondly I discussed the mantter with him politely then thirdly realised that the problem could be overcome by using Crown Copyright in stead of Album Cover Rationale. You can clearly see I posted a message here asking for assistance and opinion and kept the other admin up to date as well with what I was doing. So no, I didn't engage in edit warring. I see from your prompt interjection however BigDunc that you're sitting there like a vulture waiting for the first mistake I make. Let me advise you that I have made sometrhing like 700 edits on Wikipedia since the UDR page was protected, just over 100 since the page was unprotected, of which 38 have been on the Ulster Defence Regiment page. I have had no difficulties with anyone in that period until now. Of course I realise that none of this carries any weight with you at all. Being polite, asking for assistance and generally playing the game by the rules and making 750 useful edits doesn't seem to suit your agenda but one little problem and you're right in there. Go ahead then, fill your boots, follow me around like a dog and see how much it affects me. The Thunderer (talk) 17:37, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
No one has challenged any of your edits and when they do, guess what, you editwar, 2 reversions in succession is an edit war. And dont flatter yourself in to thinking that I am sitting like a vulture waiting to correct your mistakes. I could have removed the images when I saw them but left them as I knew as soon as I did the tired old accusations would have came flooding out and as I said I just couldn't be arsed to deal with the nonsense. BigDuncTalk 17:50, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Rjd0060, not withstanding the above I would still appreciate your comments on how I handled the issue of the images. I believe I have sorted it out properly by changing the tags to Crown Copyright and as the admin who removed the images hasn't intervened again I can only assume he accepts that. what do you think? The Thunderer (talk) 17:39, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Once I realised the other editor was an admin I engaged him/her in dialogue and searched for a way round the issue. I discovered that Crown Copyright allowed the use of their published material for educational purposes. I then changed the tags to that of Crown Copyright, non-free and after informing the admin of that, reverted the images back and removed their orphan status. I have not heard from that admin since so can only assume I've done the right thing. If it subsequently transpires I haven't and he/she removes them again then I shall have to follow the policy to protest their removal, find the correct tagging and ask to include them in the article again. Do you think anything I've done in this instance has been improper? I've loaded quite a few images in the last few days but most of them have been simpler "own image-public domain" stuff or where copyright has expired. This is rather a new experience for me.

May I draw your attention t0 this please? The Thunderer (talk) 17:06, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Burnt Oak Records Deletion

Given that Wikipedia features article on the members of parliament for Yukon, it seems strange that anyone would suggest the deletion of the 'Burnt Oak Records' page in lieu of them being one of the foremost indie labels responsible for the recent surge of musical output in southern Ontario. Moreover: they've received extensive coverage from the music press in Central Canada, and two of their artists (Elbow Beach Surf Club & Richard Laviolette) are apparently noteworthy enough to have pages on Wikipedia created by different parties.

Deletion of Zero Hour

Hey,

Are you the guy to talk to about the deletion of the Zero Hour article? I had a look into Notability (music) and find that Zero Hour fulfills two of these criteria, namely:

  • Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.

and

  • Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).

Zero Hour are *the* foremost Technical Metal band. As for the label, they are signed with Sensory Records, a label that features Gordian Knot (band), Redemption (band), Edenbridge (band), ARK (band), Spiral Architect, and which released Riverside (band)'s first album.

Because of these factors I respectfully ask for an undeletion of the Zero Hour page.

Thank you!

--Daniel Klein (talk) 18:27, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Further to this (I'm not sure where to properly reply to things you said on my talk page--is this okay?), I have reviewed the proposed deletion page and I did refer to the notability music page in my text above. I'm not quite sure what sort of work the article needed? The band *is* signed with one of the major independent labels (one of *the* most important labels in the progressive metal niche) and I believe the article stated that? I'm also not sure if I can view the article at all right now while it is deleted. I'm sorry I haven't participated much here on WP and thus don't know a lot of the rules or how these things are usually done. I was just checking the article earlier today to remind myself of the drummer's name and was shocked to find the article gone. So in short: exactly what do I need to do to help undelete the article? --Daniel Klein (talk) 19:43, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Oh, alright, so: could you please restore the Zero Hour article? And once you have and I have had a look at it, would you mind very much if I came back to you and asked you what sort of edits it needs to survive? (Assuming, of course, the answer to this question will be non-trivial, which I assume it will be.) Thanks! --Daniel Klein (talk) 02:41, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the restore! I've had a look at WP:MUSIC and the article, but I'm still not sure what I need to do to improve the article because it is my interpretation that it already fulfills the guidelines in that it states that the band is signed with Sensory Records and Sensory Records are definitely one of the major labels in progressive metal. I've asked for help with the Wikiproject Metal guys; I'm also considering to make Zero Hour's importance in Technical Metal (a subject which I notice still doesn't have a page here either) clearer. But I guess my first step will be to wait to hear back from the Wikiproject: Metal guys since they should know best. So I guess this is just to let you know that it might be a few days until I do anything to the article. Thanks! --Daniel Klein (talk) 15:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Baklunish

Hello! :) In July, Baklunish was apparently proposed for deletion. It may not be a viable article on its own, but there may be potential to merge it into an article on Greyhawk. I'm wondering if it's possible to restore the original article, and turn it into a redirect, thus preserving the edit history? Thanks!  :) BOZ (talk) 16:06, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, question

I don't know if it was you, but the user name User:OpenBoxes218 has had its talk page edit protected. I understand that the user did a vandal-move. My question is; Why is their page edit protected? I'm a patroller and was about to leave a warning with Twinkle and of course it failed. Just wondering? :-) Fr33kmantalk APW 21:34, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Please help

User:J Greb is trying to edit war with me again. I uploaded a clearer image of Kristin Wells which more closely follows the Wikipedia guidelines and explained my changes on the talk page, J Greb reverted my edits and told me I was changing the imagae for "changes sake" and when I changed it back after he made no further attempts to talk to me he got a another user to revert it to avoid 3RR. His image is a comic book cover from DC Comics Presents 2, which is cluttered and does not focus on the character the article is about), while mine is an actual image of Kristen Wells herself with the backgorund removed. You were very helpful when J Greb edit warred with me over the Psylocke image, and I would appreciate your assitance again. It is frustrating when I am following the guidelines for main images, and he steadfastly refuse to discuss why he "feels the prevoius image gve her more 'context'" and won't allow an image that the wiki rules state is preffered. thank you for any help you can offer.

New England Railroad

Would it be possible to have New England Railroad be a redirect to point to the New York and New England Railroad article? The company was a significant railroad that made the last attempt to compete with the large and powerful NYNH&H in the late 19th century and it seems the redirect would help rail history readers find the relevant information in an article about the subject matter. 164.55.254.106 (talk) 20:56, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Patras streets

Maybe you can restore most of the streets articles that were posted that are from Patras. This time, the article may be tidied and also by some users. On these restorations, one example, the street title on the top and the first sentences, then on the bottom Intersections or Notable intersections. And all articles that will be restored will be tidied. Thank you. My translating skills are improving. Some of the articles I will write will not be translated. Another, this will be avoided by some users which lack the ability to write. Pumpie (talk) 02:35, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

The article titles for example "Kolokotronis Street". The messy information once added will not be restored. I will talk again next time. 02:39, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

You don't understand on some parts. Okay when you restore most of the street article, keep the first sentence only like: is a street in Patras or that runs in the city of Patras, the street name meanings are kept and intersections are kept. I know that downtown streets of that city will be restored. I also visited the city many times, that's where I know those street names and some information, one example is Riga Fereou which runs from the north down to Papaflessa between Agios Andreas and Maizonos Street, do you know?

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Canadians of Asian ancestry

Hey, how is one Good Faith keep argument with no reasoning, against 4 Competent Delete arguments grounds for no consensus? - Jimmi Hugh (talk) 23:19, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Ahh, the old, some people are of differing opinions, so forget who has the stronger argument and close it... good way to make sure nothing happens. As for assuming good faith, I did indeed assume good faith, and the poster confirmed in a response that he had made his point in bad faith, which should of course be up to you to judge. I also didn't count a delete argument because it offered no reasoning, and I wasn't offering numbers as a show of votes, but because there was a clear consensus in favour of delete and the community has to wait until it's considered "proper" to put it up for an AfD again. - Jimmi Hugh (talk) 23:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Your comment on my page confused me. On Krazykev929's talk page you called what he did vandalism, When he put spculative information in the big brother page. But now, when he adds a completely speculative future elimination order, on the ANTM page, you say it's not vandalism? Just to remind you what you put on his page before:

This is your final warning.
The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Big Brother 8 (US), you will be blocked from editing. Although your edits are probably accurate, they are a bit premature. Please review "Wikipedia is not a Crystall Ball, and wait until the event actually happens (which will happen on the live show Tuesday) before you make this change again. This is now considered VANDALISM as you continue to disrupt the BB page, therefore this is your final warning! Rjd0060 15:39, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Deleted something that should have been kept!!! - Towns in RSK

Hello, you have disrupted a perfectly viable and just wikipedia page. The link is, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towns_in_the_Former_RSK . You seem to put some rational for its deletion there. However, if you even bothered to read the rational that you put, you will see many faulty things. That rational link that you provide shows clearly that the page should stay. The rational link agrees that the category should be deleted, and it was deleted a long time ago. However, it clearly says that the towns should be listified as they have been in that topic. Why did you delete this topic then? That talk/debate was about the category, and the decision was to keep it as a topic. You are disrupting wikipedia! Please put that topic back as soon as possible. (LAz17 (talk) 02:12, 26 September 2008 (UTC))

Hi, Rjd0060.
I've restored the tag for the speedy deletion on this article Towns_in_the_Former_RSK.
Please, see the talkpage Talk:Towns_in_the_Former_RSK#Article_needs_to_be_deleted (it's the summary of the discussion on WP:CFD, see link there).
Keeping that article is ordinary evasion of the results of the discussion on the deletion of the category (category, created by the same user; articles were categorized, beside others, with few sockpuppets). Delete (15 votes), keep (7 votes), delete and listify (6 votes).
15 is more than 7+6. Please, we must respect the results.
Otherwise, what are we getting into? Towns in the former Third Reich?
I repeat again. When LAz17 saw that he's about to lose in voting on the deletion of category, he created the article. Kubura (talk) 06:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Some of the news articles at http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Centre+Sheraton%22+Montreal are probably sufficient to establish notability for the hotel. --Eastmain (talk) 15:59, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

It was even a successful story of openusability http://season.openusability.org/index.php/2007/09/30/success-stories-07-okular/

it meets all the criteria for the Project:Notability_(software) guidelines, almost every computer site that talked about kde 4 covered okular too since it was one of the main new features of kde 4.

I am a fan of Astyplaz who created their page on Wikipedia and I have noticed that it was recently deleted. I cannot fully understand the reasons that you have produced for this action of yours. I daily run into hundreds of other articles about bands or individuals that are literally "self-advertising" to a pretty high degree (there are so many cases in point!). I really do stand aghast – what was the error, or the omission? And, my question is, how can someone’s biographical page/article/post get a space on wikipedia without being characterized as “non-notable” or “a self-advertisement”?

I do hope that you will take my protest into consideration and expect to have an answer soon. My request is the page’s restoration.

Etiquetting

Hi, Rjd0060.
This discussion took event two weeks ago, on September 29 and 30. I've stayed away from this discussion, ignoring the provocations and inflammatory messages, trying not to make things worse.
How would you describe this kind of language [54]?
Opponent in the discussion, that defends "its" article, draws this kind of language ("Ustashe (croat nazi fascists)", "The Croats want to complete the genocide on the serbs by deleting all our Krajina pages", "the start of a bigger project aimed at the erradication of anything to do with Krajina. "...)
Instead of staying inside the topic, user LAz17 uses the talkpage for propagandism, general discussion, etiquetting, personal attacks. He ignored several rules here, WP:CIVIL, WP:NPA, WP:ETIQ.
User SWik78 warned him about his behaviour [55]. Instead of improving, user LAz17 made things worse.
In his reply [56] he said "is well known that Croatia's president was a fascist, " , "they are the most fascist country in Europe in various ways" (???) ...
After etiquetting the users, he continued with throwing the mud on whole country and its inhabitants, using the etiquette like "fascist". This is not "who spilled the milk". Of course, he never bothered for giving references for so heavy accusations. All his argumentation is contained in words "it's well known". So encyclopedic, isn't it.
LAz17's message [[57]. "they're just a bunch of extremist nationalists". He obviously thought that we'd applaude to territorial conquest of our own country. Since we weren't happy with that, he immediately declared us (Croatians) as extreme nationalists.
SWik78 warned him about that on the talkpage. Since LAz17 reacted, it's obvious that he saw the message and that he's informed about warning. LAz17 is long enough here, since Jan 31 2007, he's supposed to know the rules. However, LAz17 remained unpunished [58]. Kubura (talk) 07:47, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

the Jason Anderson page was deleted but he meets the guidelines

I know meeting the guidelines doesn't guarantee that an artist will not be deleted but Jason Anderson(a.k.a. wolf colonel) is way popular so I don't know why he was deleted except for the reason listed on the deleted page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Anderson. Since you listed he fails WP:Music I figured I would object.

guidelines he meets A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:

5)Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).

Jason is signed on K records and has released 2 or more albums on K Records. K records is/has been home to people like Beck, Modest Mouse, Mirah, and Bikini Kill. In fact Jason is the only artist listed on wikipedia's K Records page who doesn't have an article!


1)It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable. Jason has been artist of the day on Spin.com http://www.spin.com/articles/jason-anderson He has been written up by plenty of magazines/papers but I guess this one is the most "national." I would mention more but I don't know exactly what you would call non trivial. Would a large regional paper count? Cause he has that.

10)Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article.) As Spin.com notes "He has drummed with several bands, including Yume Bitsu, the Microphones, and Son, Ambulance."

I don't know how to put this at the bottom of the page- I just signed up for an account to dispute this. Shmaitlin (talk) 15:10, 26 October 2008 (UTC)shmaitlin

Thank you

Thanks, I may need it when I run a Wikipedia workshop at a conference in December, since the number of people registering would probably hit the cap at a single IP address.

18XX games

I think the deletion of List of 18XX games was a mistake. Unlike other game articles or Wikipedia lists, the separate 18XX game articles had been combined into this list because of their similarities, and the base articles had been deleted. Without the list there is no record of these games at all on Wikipedia. Maybe the mistake was calling it a "list" and not an 18XX game article, which is what it was. --Jcbutler (talk) 06:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Request to Restore Chris Rosica page

I think that the article on Chris Rosica meets the guidelines for notability- I had included examples of secondary sources like his appearances on WABC-TV and News 12 NJ.

Woe to the bandwidth-challenged

This is a personal lament. Although I understand the need to clean articles up (for space and other reasons), it is still regrettable that articles that were written but not maintained for lack of Internet access fall prey to accusations (notability or original research) which cannot be rebutted in time to prevent quasi-automatic deletion.

ACC

Ay, quick question. I think you were already asked, but I will go into detail. I could not find out who created this account, I was wondering if you knew how to track it down. It was requested through ACC, but was already created when I looked at the case. The ACC Log tells me Nja247 (talk · contribs) created the account, but when I look at wiki logs I do not see that.

  • Calvinthekillerthai created 00:56, 13 November 2008[59]
  • Nja247's latest account creation 08:21, 12 November 2008[60]

I can confirm I had intended to create the account, but was unable to as the server told me it was already in use.

Question about my handling of suspicious multiple account requests. (WP:ACC)

Dear Rjd0060: I wanted to ask you about my handling of a situation involving multiple account requests in a suspicious way. I am unsure as to whether how I handled the requests was proper and was hoping you could advise me and tell me if my reasoning was sound. I am referring to requests 16537, created by me, and 16536, created by another accountcreator. I noticed both of these requests came in right in a row, from the same IP, but from email addresses that were different but only slightly so. It had the feel of an abusive attempt to create multiple accounts, whether as sockpuppets or to later vandalize with I could not say, but it also could have been nothing. I, of course, also wanted to assume good faith. One of the accounts had already been created. I realized that, if the effort was abusive I could create the account but still short circuit the abuse by linking the accounts with a template or talk page message, and figured if the user was legit such a thing would do no harm. So, I created the second account and left a message on both talk pages linking the accounts. The note said nothing more than that the accounts were closely related. (Diffs [61], [62].) While I gave out no privileged information, I find myself concerned that I may have gone too far with even what I did do. Did I? If so, what do you think I should have done? ⇔ ∫ÆS dt @ 11:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Request to restore Judicial Shamanism article

Hallo Ryan, I'd like to request to restore this article. It is quite unfaire that someone can delete an article without giving a reason. You wrote "The cited sources don't use this term." - THIS IS NONSENSE. Do you what to say that professor Jean Baudrillard does not use the word "shamanism"? Ryan, did you ever read anything of Jean Baudrillard? No, you did not. Do you want to say that professor Rodell does not use term "high-class mumbo-jumbo"? Yes, he does. Do you want to say that professor Pierre Legendre does not use term of "shamanism" in the book "Le desir politique de Dieu"? Ryan, did you ever hold this book in your hands before writing this? No, you did not. Concerning professor Duncan Kennedy from Harvard - of course he uses this term. I do not think that you would ever read anything of professor Duncan Kennedy. For more information visit the British Library http://direct.bl.uk/bld/PlaceOrder.do?UIN=211909788&ETOC=RN&from=searchengine , read the paper of professor Rolandas Pavilionis http://www.paksas.lt/ci.admin/Editor/assets/Tauta_03.pdf , take a look at the abstracts of the World Congress of Philosophy of Law http://www.law.uj.edu.pl/ivr2007/Abstracts_SW.pdf Do not administrate topics that you are not able to understand.

I have repeatedly tried to engage the other person in discussion, on talk:Zoot, but they refuse to AGF, refuse to discuss the matter, refuse to answer any questions, and refuse to address the issues I raise. Further, there history seems to suggest they enjoy making points and editwarring. His edits are unpredictable and inconsistent, and he chops and changes in his decisions on which parts of the MoS he is going to follow or ignore, and when, and contradicts himself. I am attempting to discuss the matter and address the issues he raises,but don't seem to be having any success. Further, I have made a number of compromises, but he refuses to entertain the idea of compromise. (Or even the idea of discussion, for that matter.)

I agree. He did what he as an administrator believed was right, and undid his actions upon consensus. This is perfectly acceptable. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 20:43, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Don't pay attention to Malleus. He means no harm. :) Synergy 21:10, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
I notice the water's getting a bit hot here, but I do see the logic behind your block. The resulting discussion shows that the community is not quite on board with blocking for edit-warring that doesn't surpass 3RR, when the person blocked is a long-time good contributor. It's my impression that MBisanz was careful to give symmetrical warnings to all the participants in the war. If blocks are ruled out as a possible remedy, it's not clear how WP:Edit war is going to be enforced in non-3RR situations. To be continued, probably :-) EdJohnston (talk) 21:23, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Tiptoety, acting in "good faith" means to give people warnings first. There is a rule called WP:AGF, which this block violates. There was no warning. There was no assuming of Good Faith.

Deletion review for Easy Java Simulations

Dear sir, I have seen that you deleted this page because it was advertising of a non-notable product. I respect your judgement but I kindly disagree. I wanted to provide an interesting link for people who look for simulation programs. The program described in this page is open source and hence completely free. It is been used as the development program (among other places) in the (USA) NSF digital library comPADRE for hundreds of simulations there, and the number of (free) users worldwide is large and growing. Easy Java Simulations is also mentioned in another page of Wikipedia, and I thought it a good reason to add an extended entry for it. Finally, it is easy to find entries in Wikipedia of products of similar scope and importance, which was the reason why I felt encouraged to create this page. (Please, excuse if I do not cite examples here.) For all these reasons, I dare to ask you to reconsider the deletion. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.121.78.163 (talk) 09:14, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

What I am asking for is edit rights but only when logged in using my "Manchester Warrior" non-de-plume on IP 194.203.201.92.

I seem to have been caught up in the cross-fire caused by some other person (or persons) using IP 194.203.201.92 being involved in an edit war.

Have therefore set up my "Manchester Warrior" user name (N.B. Whilst I have used this "nom-de-plume" elsewhere, it's "new" to Wikipedia) as a possible work-around solution to the problem of anonymous postings under IP 194.203.201.92 having been blocked.

Template talk:Callsigndis/doc

No particular issue with the deletion but, for what it's worth, that redirect was put in place per the instructions at WP:DOC:

"You may wish to redirect the talk page of the /doc subpage to the talk page of the template itself. Then all talk relating to the template and its documentation will end up on the same talkpage. For example, redirect Template talk:X/doc to Template talk:X."

Your input

Hey Rjd0060. I think your input would be highly appreciated here. Regards, — Aitias // discussion 04:23, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

your assistance please...

The record shows you deleted the article Mike Moran (firefighter) -- as an expired {{prod}}.

Could you please userify this article, and its history and talk page, to User:Geo Swan/review/Mike Moran (firefighter)?

You may have noticed this phenomenon -- some of the wikipedia's quality control volunteers are impatient, overzealous, or unwilling to comply with the spirit of the wikipedia's civility policies. They do not comply with the deletion policies' recommendations that those nominating articles for deletion leave an advisory heads-up on the talk page of the contributors who started the article, or made major contributions to it.

The result is "stealth deletions" -- the deletion of perfectly satisfactory articles where those interested in the article didn't defend the article because they were unaware that it had been nominated for deletion.

I write on controversial topics. And I am afraid I have encountered vandals who count on this weakness in the wikipedia's policies in order to push their private, personal agendas.

Personally, I would lobby for a change in policy where the advisory heads-up was no longer an optional courtesy, but was required, and policy stated administrators should decline to conclude nominations where the article creator didn't inform the interested parties.

Sure, lots of article that are {{prod}}ed or nominated for speedy-deletion merit deletion. But I believe that skipping the step of informing the uploader or creator is a mistake in those cases too. When contributors add material that does not comply with policy and merits deletion I think the policy on assuming good faith implies they should be told that someone thought they made a mistake that serious. Informing the contributor who the nominator thinks is making serious mistakes is the best way to try to make sure that contributor doesn't keep making the same mistake. And, of course, there are going to be cases where the nominator is the one who was mistaken. Hopefully that is going to be a small minority of cases. But I have experienced this many times -- instances where someone nominated an article I started for provisional deletion, didn't offer me the courtesy advisory, and, when I found out about the deletion, long afterwards, and got it restored, it was clear the nominator erred.

I think I must have gone through this at least a dozen times. It is a lot of work, and in my opinion it highlights a serious flaw in the existing policy.

Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 04:10, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I started an article, over a year ago, about the firefighter who lead a team that made the highest known advance in the first building to collapse. I spent some time writing it, and finding references. Some time afterwards it was realized that his time had made it much higher that had previously been realized, and that they had been unaware that the building was about to collapse until practically the last moment.
I can't find it now. I believe it was subjected to a stealth deletion.
Thanks again. Geo Swan (talk) 04:36, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

"List of XMPP library software" deletion : disagreement

It was proposed to delete the "List of XMPP library software" with following arguments : "This is a list article with only two entries which have articles. Everything else is either a red link or an external link." That's not an argument at all for deletion : please let to the community time to make the article grow, we are not in hurry.

"As such, it seems to be a list of probably non-notable software."

Please, your deletion is based on assumption. After checking myself, this libraries are notable software, since they allow to build jabber software on top of them. There is already a "List of XMPP Server Software", and "List of XMPP Client Software" : it makes sense to have a "List of XMPP Library Software". I checked the C section and php section : they are ok. Again, as computer engineer, I say that this content is valuable and must stay there.

"Maybe some of these are notable but there are no references to help determine which ones." You didn't let us time to put notes on them : you let us only 5 days before deletion, and during christmas. It really does not make sense under this condition... It seems that you was determined to delete this article without further discussion.

"Not verifiable. For all we know some of these entries could be hoaxes." Based on assumption again, and easily verifiable since I do it for the C and php section.

So please revert the deletion, and let us several months with a proposal to enhance the article contents. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.93.61.213 (talk) 15:36, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Year parameter

Awesome job, but there's a glitch: it suffers the Y2K bug! The season articles are written 1999-2000... and the parameter seems to want to write 1999-00, so it makes red links for all of the 1998-99 article templates. A solution would be to make redirects, want me to get on top of that? Andrew647 03:28, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I'd found it going through the Toronto seasons. I'll get on those redirects asap. Andrew647 04:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Done, except there's an issue with the St. Louis Blues: it seems to be a disambiguation problem where the team article is labeled "St. Louis Blues (ice hockey)", and I think that has an effect on the year parameter. Just check out 1998–99 St. Louis Blues season. I'm not sure what to recommend to fix this. Andrew647 05:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries"

Deletion of Information visualization reference model

Hi,

You've deleted the above articel with the reason "Deleted because expired WP:PROD; Reason given: There seems hardly any reliabe sources here, just the original work by E.H. Chi. There is serious doubt this subject is notable. See talk page.".

I think this happened in error as the version from google cache shows 6 references from 2 distinct groups of authors including contributions published with Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and CHI_(conference). These should coun't as reliable sources.

Regarding the notability the Article seems a little bit thin but it's not just an idea but it's used in the real world as you can see with Prefuse plus it is linked in from some Articels that discuss visualization in general. This design pattern is usefull to understand the way visualization software is built and used and is not specific to an implementation. Software design patterns are well documented in wikipedia with a less reference material (although these patterns are not so specific). I wasn't able to take a look at the talk page to this articel so I can't see any arguments there.

Deletion of "The Reincarnation"

I noticed that last month you deleted the page of "The Reincarnation", a browser-based computer game. While i do have a vested interest in the topic, i'm more curious about the reason given than the actual deletion. This is a game with thousands of players that has existed in one version or another since 1998(ish?). That no one has "published" any "sources" hardly seems a good reason to delete a page, neither does low enough readership that no one noticed the deletion tag within 5 days. There are towns with smaller populations than this page that are far less well developed than The Reincarnation page was before it was deleted, yet they remain because they are more "verifiable" per wikipedia's "encyclopedic contents" policy? There has to be a better way to determine legitimacy of this type of article... Sorry, i guess you don't really make these rules, but i wanted to vent.

Can you do me a favor?

We've had a few encounters in the past, so sometimes if I need admin help I come to you because I know I can get a quick response. Anyway, we are having some trouble over at United States men's national soccer team. Now, I don't know if you follow soccer at all, so I'll try to explain this well in case you aren't familiar with any of the subjects. One of the players on the US team (Bocanegra) plays for a French team called Stade Rennais Football Club. This club is located in the French town of Rennes, and since "Stade Rennais" is sort of long, more often than not the team is referred to as Rennes. Ligue 1 is the French league, and if you look at the 2008-09 league standings right here on Wikipedia you'll see that the team is listed as Rennes. It is the same on websites such as Yahoo Eurosport and the BBC; basically, this is the accepted common name for the team. So, we had a discussion and determined it would be most accurate to use the name Rennes to refer to that team. Everyone agreed except for one editor: User:Grant.Alpaugh. Usually when an editor loses a discussion, they just let it go. Grant refuses to do that and has taken a "everybody is wrong except for me" approach to the problem. If you look on the talk page for the US national team article, a vote has taken place and everyone except for Grant is in agreement. Also, if you read the section "Club names," you will get an understanding of the immense frustration that grows when one editor ignores the decision making process and unilaterally makes changes (I had a problem with doing this in my early editing days, so I know firsthand how annoying it can be).

Basically, Grant needs to be blocked from editing this article for the time being. If you read my talk page you'll see that he started a 3RR report against me. I readily admit I broke the 3RR, but only because, in my view, Grant was repeatedly vandalizing the article by making edits against established consensus. If you choose to block me as well I fully understand. However, Grant not only broke the 3RR himself, but has continually shown a vast disregard for the opinions of other editors and conclusions we have come to after extensive discussion. Basically, he thinks he runs the article and refuses to accept other opinions - even when he is vastly out numbered. If you could take a look at our horribly messed up discussion and get back to me, that would be awesome. Eightball (talk) 19:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I feel you deleted the page on Ciarán Ó Con Cheanainn in error. Past Winers of Corn Uí Riada and this one also, should be mentioned- just because there isn't a lot of info on him or the others doesnt mean that he shouldnt be included- its more just the fact that pepole havent gotten around to writing about them yet./ In realtion to this particular person many of the main media outlets/ newspapers in Ireland carried obituaries of him- Irish Times is one example. One of the past winners Máirtín Tom Sheáiní- a radio presenter on Radio na Gaeltachta- extant- if someopne were to start an article on him would it be deleted because of lack of information on him? In general I think one can't realy delete a page on a particular subject (however small) especially if they are not an expert in that subject (I imagine you are not) - imagine someone writes a topic on a rare scientific subject- you can;'t just delete it if you feel taht its not "big" enough- not to say that the article you deleted was off small interest- it isnt- And the competition he won and his winnign of it was covered on state broadcasters in ireland. I really think you should reconsider your own guidelines - you can answer me at eoinomurchu@hotmail if you wish.

Ioquake3

Once again the ioquake3 wikipedia entry has been deleted for being without notability when, in fact, this is wholly inaccurate. ioquake3 is the de-facto standard in quake 3 engine technology with many games and other projects being based on it. Some of those games include Urban Terror, World of Padman, and tremulous. I created ioquake3 in 2005 and it has continued since then with the help of many contributors. To say that it is irrelevant does the project and those that use it a severe disservice and I think contributes to the overall discouragement of smaller open source and free software projects, as if they and the contributions made to them are without merit. id software created the original code base and released it onto the internet. To say that projects based on the original source release are not notable is like saying that it wouldn't be notable if Ray Bradbury released a book under a creative commons license solely to the net and someone took that and made an entirely new and interesting work of fiction based on it.

Of course, having created ioquake3 you can take my words with a grain of salt. Please don't let that stop you from researching the notability of the project yourself. Perhaps starting with these links:

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/566/1040566/two-free-games-based-on-the-quake-3-engine-tip-up

http://www.linux.com/feature/136752

--TimeDoctor (talk) 02:53, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

ioquake3 is indeed the best updated version of id Software Inc.'s GPL release of the Quake III Arena engine source code. Over the years the project stayed true to it's objectives to make the original code base easier to work with, available on a wider variety of platforms, and to provide a solid base for several projects that wanted to build upon the technology.

I was the maintainer of Quake III Arena for several years until the company released it as GPL, and I am pretty happy there are people like Zachary who stepped up to the plate afterwards.

It seems very odd to me that content would be removed based on an individual's personal appreciation of relevance. If the article provides useful information and references, it should at least be valued for the efforts of the contributing individuals.

Timothee Besset,
Software Engineer
id Software, inc.

TTimo (talk)

How can ioq3 not be relevent when some of the maintainers have, as part of the project, provided fixes that have made it into id's official Q3 codebase? From the Quake 3 1.32c readme:

1.32c (5-8-06)
- Ludwig Nussel and Thilo Shulz discovered a vulnerability letting a malicious client download files from a server if auto download is enabled ( sv_allowDownload 1 ).
- A second issue fixed in this release (R_RemapShaders buffer overflow) would let a malicious server exploit a buffer overflow to execute a shellcode on connecting clients.

I would like to point out that both Ludwig Nussel and Thilo Shulz are active participants in the ioq3 project. If id, the producer of the original game that ioq3 is based on, recognizes ioq3's work as being relevent, what more is needed? Isn't that both verification and validation of ioq3's contribution to software? I mean, heck, you can cite actual publications (not blogs or other sissy webpages) as references to show that ioq3 is recognized time and again as one of the premier OSS games released.

ioq3 is especially notable for its wide range of platform support and write-once-run-anywhere Quake Virtual Machine ability which lets ioq3 run on Windows (x86 and x64), Linux (x86 and x64), Linux PPC (32 and 64 bit), FreeBSD, Solaris (SPARC and x86), Irix (MIPS), Mac OS X (x86 and PPC), and was recently the initial basis for a port of Quake 3 to the iPhone, an ARM-based device. Just google for "quake 3 iphone" to see all the press and buzz THAT generated. If that's not notable, I don't know what is! There are many modern commercial game engines that don't support what ioq3 supports such as in-engine VoIP and IPv6. Heck, the VoIP stuff is from someone recognized both in the professional game programming arena and also by Wikipedia itself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_C._Gordon

Shame you thought this article had to be deleted; this could have been a discussion on improving the article to wikipedia's standard. But you might have too much work to do in the foreseeable future as probably so many articles, about softwares/video games, are failing to meet those same requirements and therefore need to be "cut off" (weird principle for a participative online encyclopaedia).

Regards,

Tam

Wireless Thessaloniki

Please undelete our wireless's community page (Wireless Thessaloniki, WThess in short). It was deleted by you on 18 of September under WP:COR. I beg you to reconsider. We are the oldest wireless community in Thessaloniki. In Thessaloniki there are 4 communities and all of them existed before our deletion in wikipedia. Take a note on TWMN's page, which refers to us (Wireless Thessaloniki, WThess). We have participated with TWMN in Helexpo's Infosystem (Information Technology Exhibition) and we were noted in local press. It would be an omission to exclude as from wikipedia since the other 3 wireless communities are present.

Thank you. Arxytas

I was surprised to be informed by a fellow WThess node owner that the wikipedia entry for the Wireless Thessaloniki network that I had posted to the site does not exist anymore. I am not a frequent wikipedia author, so I wasn't aware that the article was candidate to be deleted. I also see that a picture that I have included in the article, which was actually taken with my photo camera, was deleted for copyright reasons! It is obvious that the problem arise due to the fact that I am not well informed on some aspects and conditions of keeping an article in Wikipedia, and I would like to apologize for that. I would like to re-establish the page. WThess is actually one of the last wireless communities left in Thessaloniki, as most of them decayed after aDSL subscriptions became cheaper and affordable. It is a part of the wireless communities' history of the city, if not of the country. Thank you for your time. ThanaSakis

Deletion of AbleNET

Hello, you deleted the article for AbleNET without any form of due process or notification and I'd wish for you to first, reconsider as well as explain your position. Notability arguments seem questionable. Notability is no greater or less than other articles of comparable content.

Article was up for AfD on 2/12/2006 through 2/14/2006 and successfully passed.

"As a shortcut around AfD for uncontroversial deletions, an article can be proposed for deletion, though once only. If no one contests the proposal within five days, the article may be deleted by an administrator."

It appears that your deletion may be contrary to the ToS regarding deletions.

Would like to request a discussion to review and reverse this decision.

List of pies

Hello, Rjd0060. I have a question regarding the pie article (list). Yesterday I just came across List of breads and List of cakes, so as a member of WP:FOOD, I want to develop those lists with images.

Frank Duff (writer)

Hi, just noticed that the Frank Duff (writer) page has been deleted with the given reason that all of the author's work is self-published and the reviews self-submitted. I've met Mr. Duff and I know that his work has been published in print magazines including Wired (magazine) and his novella Lysergically Yours was not self-published, it was published by now defunct Insurgent Productions (Toronto) with which I used to be involved when it was still solvent. And though I don't know for a fact, I'm pretty sure that those reviews were independent. Anyway, I know this qualifies as original research, but nonetheless, just thought you know that the given reason for deletion is inaccurate and, if nothing else, the delete notice should probably be changed so as not to misrepresent his professional work to anyone who might find their way to the page.

Addendum: Noticed that the Lysergically Yours article was also deleted on the basis that it was a "self-published internet story with no reliable independent coverage." Just to be clear, Lysergically Yours was published comercially by brick and mortar imprint Insurgent Productions (Toronto) in two print editions, with the first print run having ISBN: 0-9734807-0-X. Again, whether or not the book is notable enough for Wikipedia is one thing, but the current page with the delete notice shows patently false information.

User talk:BetacommandBot

Is the large obnoxious talk header really necessary? I guess you could argue it had a place when the bot was editing, but it is blocked not not editing, so it just serves as a BITEy notice with no apparent purpose. Enigmamsg 19:01, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't really matter to me, but if you look at the talk page history and several other places, the language clearly bothers people. It's not a polite helpful message. It's written in a very rude tone. I'm sure you would agree that it could be written in a better way (removing the obnoxious oversized image, not referring to anyone who edits the page as a "whiner", etc.). Perhaps it should be replaced with a general notice about image questions? I don't care about the banned notice. I just think that it's better not to bite newbies. Enigmamsg 19:07, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
If we were collaboratively editing the notice, my suggestions would be:
  1. Remove 14 and 15, which are unnecessarily obnoxious and rude. Try reading it from the perspective of an inexperienced user. They could easily be rewritten.
  2. Remove 11 as deliberately BITEy.
  3. Remove the stop hand, or at least make it smaller.

The tragedy that has befallen Wikipedia

When I read his appeals to people to donate to the cause these days, I feel a sense of pity towards Jimmy Wales. The reason why is because I get the feeling that on an individual basis, he is a positive and altruistically minded individual, who genuinely wanted to create something which would be of value to the world.

Unfortunately, however, his site has become infested by an army of pedantic, pseudo-empiricist douchebags, to put it bluntly; and they are in danger of wrecking it more or less entirely. They largely already have; a number of said people don't exist here for any reason other than to revert material which others try to add. The line about this site being something which anybody can edit has become, in practice, a complete lie. If what you add to an article isn't approved of by one of the usual pedants, who can twist policy any way they like in order to justify their actions, it will be wordlessly deleted every time.

The most cowardly among such people never offer any concrete justification for their actions, either. Why bother to be accountable when you can simply cause any complaints which anyone levels at you to disappear?

Jimmy Wales, as much as I pity him, will also never receive a cent from me in response to any of his donation appeals. The only time I would remotely consider donating to the maintenance of this site, would be after someone seriously cleaned house; and I'm talking bans, and in large quantities. Most of the current administrative staff would be a good thing, and the deletion of the site's current policy would also be a fairly large step in the right direction, as well. Neutral Point of View, is to put it simply, a complete lie; as are most of the other elements of entirely subjective horse manure ("weasel words," things, "not sounding encyclopedic," things, "sounding like a magazine article." What on earth do any of these phrases mean? The answer is largely nothing, other than conveniently twistable, subjective justification for the earlier mentioned pedants to entirely arbitrarily delete something which they decide they don't like) that passes for this site's policy.

Your policy, and a very large part of the way you do things, is broken, Wikipedia; as is your inexcusable atheistic bias, and even worse, your attempts to pretend that said bias does not exist. In time, you will be replaced.

Revert this addition to your talk page, if you wish, or ban me for having made it. The one thing which I do not expect from anyone associated with this site, is any form of integrity.

EDIT:- I just discovered yet another example of material being arbitrarily removed from an article's talk page, simply because it expressed a statement which someone else decided they did not like.

I am going to continue to fight the continuing abuses of this site's stated policies until I am banned. I cannot tell you how overjoyed I also am at finding the talk page of one of this site's administrators, because it means that I finally have a relevant place to vent my frustrations. You are going to be hearing a lot more from me.

Please revert a deletion of a Aleksandar Sørensen-Marković article

Aleksandar Sørensen-Marković is a licenced Danish PRO Ironman triathlete and has placed consistently in top 15 in highly competitive races. He is sponsored by Yakkay and Adidas. His personal sites are at www.pulsslag.dk and www.pulsslag.com. He was a member of Danish national team and is a member of several other competitive teams.

Danish article was deleted by mistake. I disagree with that deletion as well. He certainly needs to be documented in Wikipedia in both English and Danish. Why Danish admin decided to delete his page I am not sure, however I disagree and he ranks much higher than most triathletes and professional athletes who are already featured in Wikipedia.

You can also check my record on how many triathlon biographies and articles I published.

I hope you revert the deletion of Aleksandar Sørensen-Marković. NikolaT (talk) 17:36, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


Ain't Goin' Down (deleted article)

The song definitely exists: it's on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOvzUH46nWM (though could be removed at any time since I don't think the user who posted it on YouTube has permission from copyright owners).

RE: WSLK

The only reason I am removing the information is because the person says they can hear it in their car from such-and-such a point to such-and-such a point. That is original research.....if they had something to cite, it would be different. I live in Virginia and I can hear WCBS (AM) from my house, but I don't put in there that it can be heard in Virginia...cause that is OR. If they had something to cite, it would be different. - NeutralHomer • Talk • April 23, 2009 @ 00:19

OK....that is a little steep. Asking for my opinion and then threatening me with removing my rollbacker status. If they can cite it, then it should be allowed, but we can't and don't allow WP:OR unless there has been a change in policy that I missed. - NeutralHomer • Talk • April 23, 2009 @ 00:23

Also, we can stop with the threats of taking me to ANI, that is not WP:AGF. - NeutralHomer • Talk • April 23, 2009 @ 00:30

You did what Metros (Either Way) couldn't do...you got my TWINKLE and Rollback. You stood up for an article full of OR and punished someone for standing up to them. You told me about an OTRS not while things were going on, but after. You have also got me to seriously consider whether my time here is done or not. I personally have been bitter being around this place and today with this whole thing that was started by you, made that bitterness all that more evident.

Campbellgirl

I noticed that you reprimanded Campbellgirl for vandalism in 2007. I just wanted to point out that 1) she appears to me to be an employee of PRI (look at her talk page, she has been posting press releases verbatim as Wikipedia articles), 2) The Takeaway is a PRI program, and 3) she has been undoing my edits on The Takeaway page for the entire year that the program has been broadcast. I have addressed her on her talk page and I discussed her edits on The Takeaway's talk page but to no avail. I want more than dueling edits her, I can undo hers and she can undo mine but I really would like some kind of reprimand if she is promoting her economic interests with POV edits here. I have no axe to grind except that I live in the New York area and I listen to WNYC-FM a lot, and I think the program is kind of unworthy of WNYC's schedule.

Deletion of "The Master Key System"

Hi Rjd0060

I see that you deleted this article when a WP:PROD expired. The reason for deletion was "Chronic lack of reliable independent sources to establish notability and provide the foundation for a credible article" - though I cannot see whether that was _your_ reason or from the user that nominated for deletion.

As for notability, just do a google search. As for reliable sources, well, there may be problems with some of the material, but I'm sure that the most basic facts can be safely established from e.g. Library of Congress. In my opinion, it would be better to restore the article and then let people remove just the material that they find to be unreliable.

In any case, I find that the RfD procedure is better suited than PROD, for articles such as this one that a lot of work have gone into writing. Rune Kock (talk) 03:29, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Joe jobbing put-in-bay.com

I think our Edgewater Hotel spammer (see MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/June 2009#Putinbayonline.com spam) is trying to bait us into blacklisting put-in-bay.com -- that's a Chamber of Commerce domain, not one of his. Certainly his edit summaries seem calculated to goad us into this; see Special:Contributions/65.43.193.9. This behaviour even has a name; it's known as a "Joe job".

I suggest that when he turns back up again with a new IP to spam a Chamber of Commerce link you just let the link stand and ignore him.

I blacklisted every Edgewater-related domain that I could find but I suspect our spammer owns more; I'll be happy to blacklist new ones as they reappear. Just list them at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist with a link to the June archive section above. If you're unsure as to the domain's ownership, let me know and I'll check them.

More On Non-Free Images; Clarification/Assistance?

Hello RJD -

Two years ago you helped me in my work on an article regarding Bob Shane, one of the founding members of the Kingston Trio, by adding a correctly-formatted template for WP:NFCC for a picture of Shane [73]. As you can see from the page, User:Aspects is disputing the claim of fair use and has slated the image for deletion tomorrow, 7/1/09.

User:Aspects maintains that a personal snapshot of Shane decades past the period of his notability - which is, however, non-copyrighted and free - uploaded and placed on the page by me is sufficient to serve the needs of the article. I have responded both here [74] and on the Talk page with examples here[75].

I have read thoroughly and pondered the ten criteria on WP:NFCC and the fair use section on images here [76].

The regulations surrounding fair use on the pages cited are substantially subjective - e.g., and operatively here, #9 from WP:NFCC - "Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding."

Essentially, I maintain that the use of Image:Shane62.jpg meets that criterion; User:Aspects does not. I have considered going here [77] for review. However, before I do so, I would appreciate any input/reaction you might be able to give me, however brief, since image use does in fact seem to be an area in which you have substantial experience. Thanks, Sensei48 (talk) 16:41, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt response here. Que sera, sera. I think though that the "wiggle room" occurs in the interpretation - and it is just that - of the passage quoted above. The non-free image was intended by me as an addendum, and I'll likely remove it - it serves no central educational purpose to the article.I may be able to upload legitimately a non-copyrighted image that fits the bill. Sensei48 (talk) 17:22, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Question per your offer

"So if you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Please post the OTRS ticket to the extent it does not compromise anyones privacy or put their life at risk. Thanks! Hipocrite (talk) 19:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I cannot do that. OTRS tickets are confidential and it would be extremely inappropriate for me to release the content of one. - Rjd0060 (talk) 20:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Could you request that whoever submitted it permit its distribution?
Either way, in the interim, could you describe the relationship of the ticket submitter to the individual kidnapped, and give a brief summary of the rationale used by the submitter for the removal of information? Were you, or other OTRS individuals aware that the individual was, in fact, kidnapped at the time, were you left in the dark, or were you actively misinformed? Hipocrite (talk) 20:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Hipocrite, as Rjd0060 has explained, the OTRS ticket is confidential so questions of the sort that you are asking are inappropriate. FloNight♥♥♥ 20:39, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Hipocrite, User:Rjd0060 deserves, and got, a barnstar, not the third degree. Fred Talk 20:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Hipocrite, as a matter of policy, it is not a good idea for us to republish OTRS tickets. It is especially not a good idea to do so if the purpose is to find fuel to retrospectively debate a policy decision of this sort. MikeGodwin (talk) 20:46, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
It is especially not a good idea to facilitate retrospective debate over a policy decision that was made by a small cabal of Wiki elites in contravention of Wiki policy? Why not, exactly?

64.22.103.251 (talk) 18:18, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Mike, I am not asking this as a result of the policy discussion on Wikipedia. This is a national news story of interest to millions of Americans who are only now finding out that they were misled by the press such that the press could protect one of their own.
  • Fred, he offered to answer questions. If he wants to retract that offer, I'll certainly stop asking him and go back to pestering the NYTimes Public Editor, who will hopefully come clean about how many people they lied to in perpetuating this cover-up. I'm not pestering any of the other admins, who I suspect are quite blamless in this self-serving media self-dealing. So, now that that's over...
  • Flo, I don't see how my questions are inapropriate. Firstly, the word "confidential" from the OTRS info page on en.wp links to the meta privacy policy. Specifically, that says "The ticket system team may discuss the contents of received mail with other contributors in order to respond effectively." Secondly, it does not guarantee the privacy of the identity of the sender of the mail. Further, putting all of that aside, asking the question is not inapropriate, while answering it might be, because I'm not bound by the privacy policy. Let me try a different question, as this might solve all of the problems.
  • Was the OTRS mail sent by Jimmy Donal Wales? Were you misled by Jimmy Donal Wales at any time? I hope we can all agree that the WMF has no duty to keep his coorespondence private. Hipocrite (talk) 20:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
    • Hipocrite, you are way out of line here, as already alluded to by another arb and the wiki lawyer. Knock it off. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:02, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
      • Again, I am not out of line. Difficult questions are difficult, and if the owner of this talk page wants me to stop, I will, but it's not against any rules or policies or procedures for me to ask embarassing questions, and it's certainly not going to get anyone killed, anymore. Hipocrite (talk) 21:04, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
    • Hipocrite, playing 20 questions to figure out the content of the ticket content seems like it violates the spirit of the OTRS policy that allows people to send anonymous comments and request to the WMF volunteers for processing. The on site actions are present in the article history and speak to the way that the situation was handled with the article. I don't think that the other details are as relevant as you make them appear since the contributors voluntarily made the actions of their own accord. FloNight♥♥♥ 21:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your time, everyone. I got a copy of the ticket from a source. Hipocrite (talk) 21:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

As the author of the email to OTRS in question, I have no problem publishing the full text of it here. I have no idea what Hipocrite is going on about, there was nothing misleading about it, it was the immediate emergency request that I made upon learning of the situation, and it is precisely as has already been explained in the press and elsewhere. I believe Hipocrite is trying to make something out of nothing here and I find his line of questioning, and manner of questioning, extremely rude.
"Due to an extremely sensitive BLP issue involving grave personal danger, please protect the biography of David Rohde for 3 days. I would do it myself, but having this be done quietly is important, and me doing it would likely raise special notice which would be counter-productive."
Within a short time after my making the request, Rjd0060 did the protection requested, and either soon after or just before, he and I also had an IRC (I think it was IRC, but I am not sure at the moment) conversation in which I gave him more information, so that he could - on his own - determine what course of action to take.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 21:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Speaking as a journalist, I'd like to publicly thank Hipocrite for going through the aggravation necessary to obtain that information. Running the gauntlet seen above is unpleasant. Jimmy, note as a logical matter, the event does involve, well, let us say, many statements which make it completely reasonable to be skeptical of other associated statements (I'm trying to put it as politely as possible, but it is a simple fact which shouldn't be denied). -- Seth Finkelstein (talk) 00:30, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey Rjd. I asked on #wikipedia-en about the admin channel, got pointed to Wikipedia:IRC#Pending_requests_for_access_to_channels, and told I had to be cloaked. Where can I read up on that stuff? I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I'm now using Chatzilla since my mIRC timed out. I'm not hugely knowledgeable on the IRC stuff, just want to be able to ask a question here and there at times.

Thank you for protecting the article Xenu. However, I fear that a longer period of semi-protection may be required, in light of the prior protection logs on the article and the propensity for vandalism to it. Cirt (talk) 13:37, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Question regarding clarifying David Rohde article actions

Hi, speaking as a journalist, could I please ask you for clarification of something you wrote?

"I wish people would stop complaining about Jimmy who really didn't do anything in this situation, contrary to the NYT article who made him out as a "leader" of sorts. I heavily reviewed a request that was received via our email ticket system and I acted on it in a way that I felt was appropriate."

But Jimmy made that request per above, right? Isn't that being a "_leader_ of sorts"?

"We (as in OTRS agents) respond to sensitive queries on a daily basis (though I'll admit none are quite like this one)."

Right, but when it comes from The Co-Founder, isn't that a little different from the day-to-day request? I mean, are you really ever going to act against his directives, much less ever roundfile him with something like Wikipedia-is-not-censored?

General Disclaimer, addressed to all: I know, good intentions, etc., and Jimmy thinks I'm a (insert-personal-attack-here) - I KNOW. Can we all just focus on the material, thank you? -- Seth Finkelstein (talk) 05:46, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I really don't believe it matters who the original request came from. Whoever sent us the request, I would have reviewed it the same and acted as I felt appropriate and/or necessary. - Rjd0060 (talk) 14:27, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. Now, I cannot argue with your belief _qua_ belief, but I'll note that such belief is not objectively convincing. That is, I'll accept you "really don't believe it matters who the original request came from". But that's not evidence that it doesn't matter who the original request came from. Anyway, do you see how your original statement conveys a very strong impression that Jimmy did not send the initial ticket, and so the _Times_ has misreported the events? If I understand you correctly, you're basing your objection on an interpretation of the word "leader", where a request (ticket) from The Co-Founder does not qualify as "leader of sorts" and means he "really didn't do anything"?
I'm not interested in pounding you over this relatively minor aspect. That's not why I do journalistic work. But I urge you to look over your comments and see how it could happen that you'd get accused of trying a cover-up (note, I'm NOT accusing you of being part of a cover-up here, I'm saying to be sensitive to a way you could easily be misunderstood in a very negative manner).
A word of advice - if you're ever asked to do something, well, let's say "controversial", by someone in authority (and let's not pretend Jimmy is some sort of aw-shucks peer), for your own protection, make it very clear who is leading. Because documents get leaked, others talk, and if it comes down to a crunch, those authorities aren't going to take a fall for you. Wikipedia's mythology about being community-run is particularly pernicious here (there are legal reasons for it), and I suspect eventually some naive acolyte will get badly hurt one day. -- Seth Finkelstein (talk) 20:07, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

IRC cloak

User talk:0kmck4gmja

At User talk:0kmck4gmja, you have just deleted 678(!) edits. I object to this. The talkpage history is indeed relevant to reconstruct article histories, and the talkpage contributions are not owned by the user in question but by whoever made them. I also object to the obscurantist practice of hiding pages under titles like "0kmck4gmja", this isn't above-the-board. I see no reason for this deletion, as any edits made by any editor are irrevocably released under the GFDL. User talk histories are often relevant in reconstructing the history of content debates. --dab (𒁳) 14:10, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I am aware of WP:RTV, which explicitly states it's best to not delete user talk pages on request. I apologize for implying you moved the user to 0kmck4gmja. This was apparently the user's own attempt at obfuscation, not yours. I still object to the deletion, and talking down to me isn't going to change anything. Judging from the talkpage history, this is a case of IRC-admining, to the effect that administrative decisions have been made that cannot be traced on-wiki. It is also not a big deal and I am not going to go on a crusade over it. I have simply told you, as my fellow-admin, that I object to a decision of yours. I don't expect you to jump to attention but I do expect you to take due notice. --dab (𒁳) 16:02, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Sonia Sotomayor Supreme Court nomination

Hello, I was wondering if you could temporarily semi-protect the article Sonia Sotomayor Supreme Court nomination over the next twenty-four hours. There is likely to be random IP vandalism, and is expected to be a high visibilty article as the event progresses in just a short time from now. I didn't want to add this to the Requests for protection page as I've been declined once before for something like this, and it ends up being vandalised to hell and back until hours after the event is already over, and a lock is finally added. (Shaheen Jafargholi's article was a prime example during the MJ funeral.) Anyway, sorry if it seems random that I contacted you, you were the first administrator I saw on the Requests page. Any help will be extremely helpful in managing the article, when the time comes. Gage (talk) 15:41, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

I am extremely familiar with the policy, thanks though. But, seeing as you seemed to be more accesible than the delayed response on the part of the RFPP volunteers as a whole, contacting you here would probably be better if it gets out of hand, which is almost certain. I hope you don't mind, as it would, again, be extremely helpful. Gage (talk) 15:48, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Why was I deleted?

I am "Steven Pederson" the subject of an article you deleted. (Yes, I realize *I* was not deleted, an article on me was deleted. However it does feel a bit like being srubbed into non-existence.)

The article wasn't a vanity article--I didn't create it, it was reasonably sourced, and I made it a point to leave it alone (resisting the temptation to update it and make it a vanity piece--my subsequent ventures have not been the source of independent coverage.)

I'm not any sort of member of the wikipedia community--have done no more than correct an few inaccuracies (unrelated to this), never before even needed an account. From what I can divine, the reason for deletion was so obvious that it didn't need to be explained. Well maybe to insiders. As a mere mortal who simply uses wikipedia as an information source... breaking all the links stands out as a red flag.

As I write this I realize that coherence to outsiders is a general issue, and you're just probably just one editor, not a spokesperson for the organization. But you DID delete the article so you're the touch point for wondering why....

Interestingly, the deletion didn't even make it into deletionpedia. Talk about ground into insignificance. ;)

Sorry to drag this one out, but thought the following gem from the French article might be of interest: [[78]]. It's a well-known "fact" that he changed his name (as did many other musicians on converting to Islam in the '50s, 60s and 70s) and I'm sincerely worried that the Wikipedia Foundation is being hoodwinked over this matter - not by Jamal himself, but by his close collaborators. Do you know if the evidence submitted via OTRS been taken at face value or has the Foundation itself accessed the public records? Obviously if the Foundation were being threatened with legal action as part of this polemic the perspective changes, but verifiability is where Wikipedia is at!

That's strange considering the fact that the New York Times told you to remove my David Rohde edits. I must say that you being a part of that cover up surprised me greatly. Pahjwok Afghan News was really unreliable, eh? HA, whatever. At least you gave Darrenhusted a warning too. Thank you for doing that. 72.186.97.162 (talk) 01:10, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for pointing out that I made an edit on AN/I that removed other people's text. I would never have noticed. I don't understand why there was no edit conflict notice. I double-checked everything to make sure I wasn't somehow deleting more text as I was putting the other text back, and I'm pretty sure it's OK now (this diff stream shows no deletions). -- Soap Talk/Contributions 02:04, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Knee-jerk reversion

Please exercise care when performing a blind revert, as you did here. Not doing so will undo not only changes you find problematic, but also the valid changes made during that same edit. It's an easy mistake to make; one that will happen less frequently with experience. You can find more information at WP:Revert. With regards to your comment on my talk page, thank you for the link to the WP:BLP section on relatively unknown people. I do not see how that applies to the 3 sources listed in the Lewy article; perhaps you could elaborate? If you choose to do so, it would probably be advantageous to respond on the article talk page in case other editors are interested. Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 19:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Rjd0060 -
You came to my talk page to advise me on the fundamentals of BLP, a category of articles I have specialized in since I began editing Wikipedia. Bad form. You then reverted content you considered negative, while claiming you didn't see the 3 high quality sources to which it was cited. Possibly an oversight on your part; possibly willful negligence. During that revert, you also deleted other content without any explanation at all. Bad form. When I asked you to elaborate on your reasoning for the deletion of sourced content, you responded not with your reasons, but with further incivility: your blatant disregard to the BLP policy is appalling; I see that you're not interested in logical discussion; [you are] ignoring one of the most important policies that we have. On top of all that, you inform me you are OTRS, and therefore I "clearly don't know the full story". Wait, is this the same OTRS described in the opening paragraph as comprised of "Volunteers trusted to give courteous and helpful responses?"
Here's the full story, Rjd0060. I hate drama, but you have pushed too many buttons here. I am one step away from taking this situation to the noticeboards for review. I am requesting that you strike your comments from my talk page, and I am re-requesting that you elaborate on your objections to the 3 (now 4) sources cited for the content in the Lewy BLP. Please take this opportunity to return this to a cooperative effort, instead of an adversarial one. Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 20:51, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
You are correct your assessment that my edit summaries could have been a little more ... let's say, constructive. Let's see if we can resolve this to everyone's satisfaction. Xenophrenic (talk) 21:09, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Chugworth Academy Deletion

"A small web comic with no significance" seems pretty harsh, considering that at its height it received 50,000 unique hits a day and a nationally licensed book from a legit publisher. http://us.macmillan.com/chugworthacademyvol1 http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/chugworth.com

Just check its max trends, it remained in Alexa's top 100,000 for the portion of its lifespan while it did update.

Now admittedly, the comic has been in remission, but it seems like the proposed deletion was right before it started up with new updates, and so no one was paying attention to the article, but lacking in updates is not uncommon to web comics. It seems at the very least that the grounds for deletion are erroneous, as the comic had quite a large reader base and some significance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.2.228.8 (talk) 22:41, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Eric Violette

This article is one you salted a little over a year ago -- would you consider removing the protection? (The subject is the guy who plays the pirate in the FreeCreditReport.com commercials.) I'm not sure about notability -- it's a singing pirate, after all -- but since the article was salted (and since the last deletion review) there have been reliable sources reporting on the subject. (See [79]). It may be worth opening it up to see if anyone writes a usable article.

My primary concern is that if we leave something salted that long, a subject that was not notable under the guidelines can become notable -- but we won't get an article about it because rank and file editors won't be interested in navigating deletion review or unprotection. Unless we really need to leave this salted to avoid disruption, I think we should try to open it up to see whether the subject has become notable. Thoughts? --TheOtherBob 16:30, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Hylden Lord

I noticed you deleted this along with Hash'ak'gik which redirected there. I am not sure what these originally looked like, but while it probably did not deserve an individual article since it was not the main character of these games, they could both redirect too List of Legacy of Kain characters#Hash'ak'gik which describes the guy. Would it be okay to restore these and change them to redirect there? Also I am wondering, whatever content was originally at this article, would it be possible to find an archive to see if any could be incorporated and merged into his description on the LoK character list page? Sarafan Lord, Hylden General & Dark Entity are other terms for the same character which I hope can also be directed there, since they were not previously deleted I figure they might be recent additions.

I have references listed in the article for each artist, over 120, I don't see any reason not to create the list page since it's fully referenced.

Heemraad

Hi, I am recreating the Heemraad page which you previously deleted. Since the Dutch have a peculiar form of government with a separate shadow government for their struggle against water, I think it is important to have pages for these low government positions. It may seem silly, but it is necessary to distinguish them from the regular government officials. To sum it up, the government bodies today in order of rank are 1) National, 2) Provincial, 3) Municipal, and 4) Water boards. In medieval times and earlier however, the water boards were the same as municipal, and since it was a country of duchies, this was also the highest form of government. Jane (talk) 07:41, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Came to Rjd0060's page in pursuit of another deletion of his. Upon reflection, I thought the deletion (that I wanted reversed) was technically "correct" but improperly implemented. So too with Heemraad: the material should be rolled into Water board (The Netherlands), and "Heemraad" should redirect there (likely with an anchor). 24.130.67.253 (talk) 05:11, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following 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 over 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 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 and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

I see you removed the section on the MU/FO 4GL back in 2008. MU/FO was an important development in the early 80's in systems design, and should be recorded here.

Objection to decision

I object to your labelling me an edit warrior by upholding the complaint at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring#Dmcq_at_Wikipedia:Fringe_theories.2FNoticeboard.2FHeader_.28result:_Page_protected.29. The person who brought that does not allow me to notify them of problems on their talk page and did not contribute to the discussion or give reasons for their revert. The wording removed by him was that proposed by another person in the discussion. I have seen that person using records of blocks etc against people before in discussion to blacken them and I don't wish that against me. I had not been on the page for a day and a half so why else did they suddenly go and file a complaint on that evidence. So could you please revert your protection with a note saying it was a mistake. Otherwise could you please explain how I was edit warring as described in Wikipedia:Edit warring. Dmcq (talk) 11:32, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes I would have preferred you look at it with a view to blocks rather than upholding that other persons complaint when there were only two attempts to put two lots of different stuff up with people reverting without discussion and the one complaining not providing any other means of communication. Plus it was stale and there was a discussion going on, what was the point of that person asking for a block then except to try and blacken me in anyway they can? I am sorry that you have chosen to uphold this decision and hope in future you will check what's happening a bit more closely rather than bolstering up people who just block without discussion.

Listeners of The Ron & Fez Show on SiriusXM have been purposely asking Mark Zito questions to update his Wikipedia but now it has been deleted because it was deemed autobiographical. Since he hasn't been writing it himself and it had been edited by multiple people, this doesn't make sense to me. Is there anyway to get it reinstated?

Invitation to events in June and July: bot, script, template, and Gadget makers wanted

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.

We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!

I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 21:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Dartmouth

I'm concerned about full protection at Dartmouth College. The problem on that article is IPs and newbies deleting material they don't like, even to the point of edit-warring. If there's no sanction for that behavior, there's no incentive for them to discuss and work towards consensus. After all, we're talking about people who don't know how Wikipedia works (and in some instances manifestly don't care, as continued reverting even after a 3RR warning shows).

Deletion of "Wikipedia:SpiderGraph chart article"

Dear Rjd0060,

I'm contacting you because this is my first article and I need help to understand how Wikipedia works. I'm the Author of "Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion/SpiderGraph chart", that I started 7 months ago and have rewritten 4 or 5 times and on 3/24 you deleted. We were in the middle of an AfD discussion proposed on 3/27 by Glrx and I was in the middle of addressing all their comments and objections and when I went back to paste in another discussion response, the article was gone! I don't see how a decision to delete could be carried out, after I have proven all of their objections wrong and no decision has been made, that I know of?? Did you even read the discussions?

Previously, I had sent the following message to a friendly Reviewing Editor for her advice, but as yet, have not received any reply:


Shearonink, 4/22/12, A Plea for Help and a FAVOR regarding: Articles for Deletion/SpiderGraph chart

Dear Shearonink,

During January & February, you were friendly and very helpful while my article was in AfCreation! I forget the date, but at some point, I wrote you about someone seemingly wanting to put notches on their belt & trying to establish a Kingdom?? I forget the exact way I phrased it??

Mabdul, declined my article on 1/22, I made his changes and tried to clear up his incorrect assumptions with a 2 page response on 1/23. Mabdul replied on 1/24 and also asked his friend CharlieEchoTango to join in. My 1/31 response to them, mentioned the "Six (6) Comments" section of the article using other user sources (which I believe Mabdul later deleted) and also the "impartial comparisons" from other sources to address their COI comment and to answer Charlie's WP:NOT comment, I found WP:NOT#DICT (#2), that proves this article to be Very Notable per a Wikipedia Policy, which is also mentioned in this discussion.

Around Feb. 23rd, my article went public! On Feb. 24th, Chap, the Ripper did a Major Overhaul & Removal of most of my article. It was almost unrecognizable. I almost gave-in to his intimidation, but I didn't want it to reflect bad on WP, so I rewrote the article for the 4th or 5th time, around 3/12.

No new tags were placed on the article for almost 2 months, but the old Tags from early Feb. remained on top of the article. I thought someone had just forgotten to remove them. I thought all the hurdles had passed!

On 3/27/12, I received a notice that my article had been Proposed for Deletion by Nominator Glrx, which I answered on 3/31/12, with a 6 page Objection to Deletion reply, because all the accusations sounded like he hadn't even read the article or didn't understand it! Glrx, a PhD in Philosophy, hit me again on 4/3/12 with more of the same:WP:N, DUE, NOR, NPOV, & COI, and again on 4/9, with 11 more items. However, I proved all of his assumptions incorrect in my 4/10/12, 8 page reply!

Also on 4/3/12, Gene93k Added a Note Stating that "this debate has been included in the list of Science-related deletion discussions."

So Far, everyone that has come forth to vote for deletion, sounds like they never read the SG or Radar chart articles and maybe not the discussion either. I feel like I'm being Sandbagged for a Speedy Deletion by a tag team of kids! I try to spell everything out for them to clarify or correct their incorrect assumptions or accusations, but I guess their vote still stands?? Today, I spent all day writing a reply to Jorgath (a 26 yr old, non-technical, college student) & Livitup.

IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, please do me a favor and read over the deletion discussions and see what you think They all seem in a big hurry to hang the article & me out to dry and I don't know why. I just want to get on with my life! When you read my answers, you will see that this article is very Notable! It looks to me like, no matter what I say or do, they intend to go ahead with the Deletion.. As you read the discussions, I believe you'll see that there is definitely no COI.

End of message to Shearonink


PS - Rjd0060: I was going to file a Grievance, stating Admin Abuse to Glrx and request an undo, but didn't because I noticed that he didn't delete the article, even though he has been extremely prejudice and unwavering. Have you ever performed any informal mediations? Is there anything you can do to help me?

Deleting the page: Shazzie

You recently deleted the page Shazzie which I believe to be in error. Your comments were that "it was self promotional and that you can't call yourself a TV presenter if all you've done is record an 8 min clip for an obscure…" This information is incorrect. Shazzie is a writer, TV presenter and recording artist. She has contracts with publishers both in the UK as well as the USA. Her TV show is in the final editing stages and is due to be aired soon throughout Europe. If you take issue with the TV show not being live yet, then of course remove that and it can be added again once aired, and even query anything that you find "self promotional". But it's not on to remove the whole page of a recognised published author, and I am requesting that you undelete it immediately. I look forward to your reply. Thanks for your time.

UEFA EURO 2012

I see that you have made a full protection of this article. Even though I understand the background of this, with the many editing conflicts, I am worried that it will not be updates as well as before. Right now I see that the subarticle are already updated with the info on the Netherland versus Germany match. But since the article is now protected the editors normally doing this work can not do so. Have you considered how this article will be updated after every match? Are you going to do that twice a day, or have you asked other adminstrators for help. This article depend on fast updates for internet trafic, if it are not updated the trafic will stop. And I am sure we all agree that Wikipedia being popular is a good thing.Before the full protection it was updated during the games, that I guess is not necesary. But it should be updated straight after each match, and preferly at halftime too.

I will put this notice on the talkpage of the article, maybe you would like to explain the actions you have taken to keep the article updated there too? To put everybodys mind at ease.

Jack Bornholm (talk) 21:08, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to echo these concerns. Euro 2012 is an extremely high-profile topic right now, so I understand your decision to institute full protection. But it seems in doing so that you've locked a great many good-faith editors from ensuring accurate coverage of the event. As Jack has pointed out, there's an awkward inconsistency with the latest match. The way I see it, these inaccuracies and incompletion will reflect more poorly on Wikipedia than anything that's being prevented. I hope you'll consider dealing with individual troublemakers, if that was your concern, and a return to semi-protection. Thanks for your time.
--BDD (talk) 21:29, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Jack, you were one of the ones involved in the edit war so you're not quite neutral on the issue. Putting that aside, yes it is a highly watched article. More the reason to prevent edit warring. I don't believe this is a valid reason for unprotection. If some sort of conclusion is reached on the talk page (I see that there is ongoing active discussion) the page can be unprotected. And of course, if you disagree with my action you may request unprotection on the relevant noticeboard (but please link this discussion to it as well). Rjd0060 (talk) 01:44, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:SpiderGraph chart

GregLChest has left long message on my talk page where he clearly wants a WP:DRV of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SpiderGraph chart. My sense is that he believes he's started the DRV by leaving the message on my talk page (he's tagged my talk page as the subject of a deletion review). I believe such a review is doomed and I don't want to bother other editors with it, but I also think it is his right to request it. Consequently, I think the right thing to do is submit the DRV for him rather than let him struggle with the procedural mechanics. The first DRV step, however, is a discussion with the reviewing admin. Do you want to discuss the AfD result with him first, or should I just submit the DRV? Or adopt some other course?

PLEASE UNDERSTAND, I DON'T BLAME YOU! THE ARTICLE WAS NOT IN THE PROPER CONDITION DUE TO 3 REVIEWING EDITORS AND CORRECTIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE BEFORE THE ARTICLE WENT PUBLIC, UNFORTUNATELY, THE ERRORS WERE NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL DURING THE DELETION DISCUSSION.

THE FOLLOWING IS A COPY OF THE DRV I POSTED ON Glrx's USER TALK PAGE, BEFORE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE WRONG PLACE FOR THAT ACTION. I HAD DONE SO BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE NOMINATOR WAS ALSO THE MODERATOR OF THE DISCUSSION. THEREFORE, A LOT OF THE DISCUSSION ON Glrx's TALK PAGE PROBABLY DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THE DISCUSSION! SORRY, BUT THIS WAS MY FIRST ARTICLE AND I'M STILL NOT AWARE OF ALL THE WP POLICIES AND PROPER ACTIONS TO TAKE!

I HAVE LEFT THE FOLLOWING, AS IT WAS POSTED TO Glrx's TALK PAGE, TO SAVE TIME AND AVOID ADDITIONAL ERRORS:

ATTN.: Glrx,

In your 27 March & 2 April 2012 "Proposal for Deletion," you stated that: "This article has many faults. It fails WP:N. It appears to be based on a single 1985 journal article by G. L. Chester. Secondary sources endorsing this particular chart are absent." You additionally questioned compliance with WP:N, DUE, NOR, NPOV, COI, and ADVERT. [88] [89] Then, in the 2 April 2012 revised Proposal, you muddy the waters by adding comments about my trademark, that had been removed long ago and has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion!

In my 31 March 2012 "Objection to Deletion" and Response to your concerns, I answered you're WP policy concerns and included a copy of my15 January 2012 reply to WP:N/N:

Complying to your comments regarding Notability, I have copied my 1/15/2012 response to WP:N/N:

This suggestion doesn't sufficiently explain the importance or significance of the subject. See the speedy deletion criteria (A7) and/or guidelines on notability. Please provide more information on why the subject is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Thank you.

THE IMPORTANCE & NOTABILITY FOR INCLUSION IN THE FOLLOWING SUBJECT MATTER: "Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/SpiderGraph chart" [90]

In the above Notability Response, in the 7th paragraph, beginning with: "Fortunately ... " the (1985 primary source) trade magazine article (Ref. #4) and the (Very Notable 1986 Secondary Source), The Standard Handbook of Industrial (a/k/a Factory) Automation, that is found in the Library of Congress (Ref. #5), were mentioned! Those facts were mentioned again twice in the body of my response. (re WP:N & V) (NOTE: I think 3/31 was the 1st time that Glrx saw these references and I don't believe any attempt has been made to inform the Reviewing Editors!)

(THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE ABOVE TWO REFERENCES, that was not discovered until after the article went public and was Proposed for Deletion: a Reviewing Editor, Chiswick Chap, performed a "Major work over & removals" on 24 February 2012 to the whole SpiderGraph chart article, cutting it in half and incorrectly blending the above two (2) references into one (1) called "SpiderGraph paper by G.L. Chester" in the "A Charting Style Timeline," that was also reduced to just "Timeline" section.[91] Unfortunately, at that time, all mention of a secondary source was scrubbed from the article, which wasn't discovered until later, which biased the voting Reviewing Editors against the article!) (Most Reviewing Editors, including Glrx, stated that they thought the "SpiderGraph chart was just another Radar spider chart!" This is definitely contrary to the purpose of the article!)

On 2 April 2012, Glrx added his "Delete as nominator." comments.[92] Chester's claims ... are not persuasive, and they fail to understand the axis-order and linear/sqrt scaling problems of the radar chart (and how those faults directly carry over to a SpiderGraph). (A FACT THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FALSE!) The computer software used to create the radar charts causes the problems and the SpiderGraph charting method uses no computer! (In my 4/9 reply to Glrx, I asked him to clarify his statement, which he ignored and has never complied with!)

On 21 May 2012, I reminded Glrx again about the drastic revision that had removed any mention of a secondary source for the article[93], which had caused his "incorrect assumptions" and all of the "Delete votes" from the Reviewing Editors. Still no message went out to the REs about the omission that could have informed them and hopefully cause them to change their votes!

Glrx's 21 May 2012 reply was "I am not the route for an appeal on the AfD decision. (And yet, I thought he was in charge of the Discussion. Unfortunately, he never stated that the Discussion was over??) In his 3rd paragraph, he states: "I don't see any new statements in your comments above." (Which seems to be one of his "pat answers" for not answering and doing nothing!) I had previously mentioned the Industry Handbook as the missing secondary source 3 times in the discussions, but never received one comment whatsoever back from any of the REs, so I thought it must mean more if it comes directly from Glrx, the Nominator.[94] Consequently, I replied back stating: "You should have known, that w/o all the facts, no RE could be expected to make a sound judgment!" Also, I tried to clarify my reasoning for not citing the obvious facts when comparing the two charts and the necessity for a jury of technical peers![95]

I waited about 10 days to see if you would comment on my reply to your 21 May statements, but nothing! I had to assume you were trying to run the clock out, without commenting on my suggestions to Recuse yourself or obtain informal mediation, so I asked you if you needed more time to do the right thing. (which was, Respond to my answers to your accusations and do something!) [96]

Your 8 June 2012 reply was more of the same: Discussion going nowhere; You haven't stated anything new; Repetition won't make them true; I've understood your position for a long time (but you haven't taken any action on!); You haven't "proven" anything; My position is you don't understand the substantive content issues (please describe what you're talking about here??) or WP's requirements for articles; and oh yes, "this one takes the cake": You clearly do not understand the axis order, area, or manual vs. computer arguments above. (You have never answered my question about "how," in your statement that "Radar chart faults carry over to SpiderGraph charts, because they don't, they both have different charting methods!).

HERE ARE SOME OF WHAT I THINK SHOULD BE DESIRED TRAITS FOR A GOOD REVIEWING EDITOR OR ADMIN: a) I believe they must know more than just WP policies, they must also DISPLAY GOOD COMMON SENSE. b) They must do more than debate, THEY MUST MAKE HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS, BE NEUTRAL & TAKE ACTION, WHEN NECESSARY! c) They must have A WELL-ROUNDED EDUCATION (just having a degree doesn't mean much!). d) They must DEMONSTRATE MATURITY, to help keep one's Ego in check! e) They must know that Maturity breeds INTEGRITY! f) They must BE SELECTIVE TO WORK ON PROJECTS THEY HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE OF! g) They must AVOID FROM BUILDING POWER-BASES!

HERE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS I HAVE, FOR FILING A "GRIEVANCE OF ABUSE OF ADMIN POWERS": 1) Glrx has not demonstrated "any" of the above desired traits in our dealings!

2) Your PfD stated: Secondary Sources are absent! My Reply mentioned the Industry Standard Handbook in the WP:N statement and twice in the body of my reply! You did not ACT to find the reason for the Difference in Statements??

3) When I mentioned the Secondary Source Handbook 3 times in the Discussion, again you did not ACT to look for it in the article nor to acknowledge my comments about it in the discussion!

4) When I told you that RE Chiswick Chap had rearranged & shortened the article and omitted any mention of an Industrial Standard Handbook, as well as goofed-up the Reference citations, which helped create this whole SNAFU, I was surprised that you ignored it and didn't try to verify my comments & inform the voting REs! I further believe that the REs were not informed in order for you to retain your advantage of "100% Consensus for Deletion," mainly because you could not see the difference nor explain your "carry over comments" regarding the two charting methods! Which has now been exemplified by your "You clearly do not understand ... " intimidation comments in this, your very last response! [97] It would have definitely changed the outcome! (Two & a half months and never receiving your explanation is to long a time to wait??) (I think nine months is also a very long time to write any article for WP!) (It was never fun! I lost a lot of sleep!!) (To many non-technical, egotistical Bullys, making haphazard deletions, about something they know nothing about!)

5) When I told you I had noticed that Mabdul had lied in his RfA/Question #5, you ignored that and told me "to learn about colons & diffs!" You also didn't comment when I told you Mabdul had previously deleted 3 sections of the article! Mabdul has proven himself to be an Egotistical Bully and when you told me that you came to this article through Mabdul, you became suspect to me, which later proved to me, the old adage: "Birds of a feather, ...".

6) You could have treated my WP:NOT#DICT comments with Common Sense, guide me to a location or even made an exception when you knew I was looking for a rule of thumb for writing encyclopedic articles & learn about their acceptance and that I was not planning to use it for a Dictionary! The same is true about using Common Sense, when "not citing, when the facts are obvious !"

7) You could have used "Due Diligence" and better discretion in the selection or elimination of educated(?) REs when their first comments were: "I...wow. I just have no idea, but I'll give this a shot." or if they were a 26 year old college student! You should have known that at least the RE's Education and Maturity were very important for them to be fair & impartial for this article! (That's where an information sheet about each RE (at least sex, age, & education) would have been very helpful to know who you're corresponding with!) (Having a PhD in Philosophy really doesn't tell me anything about who Glrx is??)

In addition, like I previously mentioned, a Wiki Foundation survey for new authors to make comments about REs would have been a good Checks & Balance idea, to help eliminate Egotistical Bullys! With that, maybe this SNAFU would never have happened!

Needless to say, I would appreciate the SpiderGraph chart article being reinstated (undeleted) and having Chiswick Chap correct his self-inflicted errors!

PLEASE NOTE: If your lack of action is not corrected, I will be submitting this Grievance to the Admin Noticeboard, of which, I'm sure you are well aware!

Respectfully submitted,

Rjd0060: IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK! Gregory L. Chester 22:58, 22 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GregLChest (talk • contribs) Gregory L. Chester 21:09, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Sorry to disappoint you but I really couldn't care less what happens to this particular article. I have nothing to do with whatever you're talking about here ... all I did was undelete the talk page, per a request. You'll have to pursue this elsewhere. Rjd0060 (talk) 13:09, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

ATTN: Rjd0060,

Ryan, I realize that you had nothing to do with my plight, that's why I started out with a Disclaimer and then filled you in! I didn't expect you to care about the article, but I did think you'd care about the WP Process of being helpful & impartial, especially when a Reviewing Editor makes a mistake, but doesn't care enough to correct it?? I'm only asking you for helpful advice about the proper action to take, because you are neutral?? Unfortunately, "pursue this elsewhere" doesn't help me very much??

Sincerely, Gregory L. Chester 19:21, 25 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GregLChest (talk • contribs)

Ryan,

I just happen to think, since the SpiderGraph chart article was deleted because the very notable secondary source reference in the article was removed by a non-technical Reviewing Editor just after it went public and then the article was deleted before the error was discovered, is it possible to undelete the article into the AfCreation area, so I could make the necessary corrections and then have it Relisted with an "expert-subject" tag, so comments from a more knowledgeable group of peers could be obtained?

Thanx in advance for your consideration, Gregory L. Chester 00:40, 27 June 2012 (UTC) Gregory L. Chester

Www.eardisley.com

Hi Rjd0060, I would like to hear your opinion on the deletion process for the above article. I tagged it for deletion under A7 (club). The tag was later removed and removed with the {{newpage}} which asserts that the user is aware of the notability criteria. However, it is relatively clear that the new user is not familiar with the notability criteria. In this situation would it be appropriate to restore the speedy deletion template? -CTS talk 04:38, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Except for obvious cases for deletion, speedy tags (once removed) shouldn't be re-added. Not a rule, but general practice. You might want to go to AFD for this one though. Rjd0060 (talk) 05:10, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
But keeping in mind that it was removed by the creator, I think that it should be appropriate to send it through the normal CSD process. -CTS talk 05:27, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
My mistake. You're right, I deleted the article (again - it was already a7'd earlier). Thanks! Rjd0060 (talk) 05:32, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Hey Rjd, I don't have a conflict of interest regarding this topic and I don't mention myself or any businesses I'm involved in. However I do think the content is helpful and that wikipedia is very light on good video content so I wanted to share this video. I'm new to making contributions to wikipeida though so I could use some help. Do you think the video is helpful? If so, what is the best way to add it? Any help is greatly appreciated as I really do care about the topic and spent a lot of time creating a video that I thought was helpful.

I guess the Metricstream company page is deleted by mistake. Could you please restore it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.251.15.178 (talk) 04:52, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

It was no mistake. It was deleted for the reason listed in the deletion log. In this case, the reason for deletion was "Effectively unsourced since creation. No improvement since tagged in Sept, and no sources of significant depth found in search." There were also references in the deletion to a Wikipedia inclusion guideline, WP:NCORP. In accordance with the proposed deletion policy, the article may be restored upon any reasonable request however I would be hesitant to restore this one without knowing somebody was going to work on improving the content so it is more suitable with Wikipedia guidelines. Rjd0060 (talk) 05:01, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Did you actually review that before you posted to my talk page? If you did, study more on the reading thing. If not, please do before posterizing up. God I despise this community. But the only way to work in this very important project is to put up with this nonsense.

Joe Kearns Goodwin

Hello, You recently deleted an uncontested PROD of the article Joseph Kearns Goodwin. My friend, the creator, complained that the article had been deleted, and I, a mostly-retired Wikipedian, decided to help her out. I found references to confirm that the subject meets the general notability guideline (it is true that they do not (yet) meet the WP:POLITICIAN guideline, but that's irrelevant), and I added those references, in addition to making some edits. While Goodwin does not necessarily meet WP:POLITICIAN, he clearly meets WP:GNG. I understand the desire to delete poorly formatted pages, but I believe that wikipedia as a community should work to avoid deleting pages where a simple Google News search would have proved that the subject meets the guideline. This would be extremely helpful to the public image of the site. I have created the article at Joe Kearns Goodwin, and I will create a redirect from the other page. Please feel free to reply on my talk page with any questions or concerns. Regards, ~Gosox(55)(55) 05:04, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

I think I understand correctly why my article on Rev. Cieminski was deleted. As written, it did not sufficiently explain his significance.

Cieminski, I would be very appreciative of your opinion on whether I should reattempt the article or not.

OTRS question

Hi, I was looking at WP:OTRS, and had a question. What kind of backlog do we usually have (or currently have) in it?

I was reviewing Shannon T. Boodram (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), and noticed that the image in it was uploaded on January 1st with a comment "The license agreement will be forwarded to OTRS shortly." However, the user that uploaded the image is now blocked as a sockpuppet, which forced me to question the legitimacy of such a ticket ever having been submitted. Is the backlog sufficient that this could still be in the queue; or if no such ticket exists, should the image be sent the way of the copyvio disposal system? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

I think I located the answer to my own question ... after checking a sample of images in Category:Items pending OTRS confirmation of permission for over 30 days, I found some with no edits since July 2012 still awaiting either Wikipedia:OTRS confirmation or deletion. So, appears to be a sizable backlog. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 21:56, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

OTRS Retention

I'm sympathetic to the need to recruit new users to OTRS but I wondered if you guys have considered the impact of poor communication from the OTRS admins on existing OTRS volunteers. If you are not sure what I'm about, look at ticket 2011120510017359. I resigned from OTRS because you (the OTRS admins) wouldn't engage with what turned out to be well founded concerns about a particular user. Just a thought for you to ponder on. I'd send you an email but obviously my experience with you taking them seriously is pretty limited. At least this way I'll know you got the message. Spartaz Humbug! 16:45, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I'll first say that this ticket was the first I've seen of the whole "situation" that it refers to. I was inactive for a while, and just came back to OTRS mid-late 2012. On the general subject of communication, however, yes ... this is something we're working to improve. Not sure if you're familiar with some recent discussion on Meta, but it yielded a number of changes both internally and on the 'public' side of things. And we're constantly working to continue this move towards appropriate communication and transparency. If you have any specific suggestions we're always open to hearing them. Thanks. Rjd0060 (talk) 17:04, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, simple suggestion, don't ignore your hard working and reliable users when they have genuine issues of concern. Bit late for me, but with falling admin numbers and few good candidates coming through you can't afford to lose any more good volunteers with this kind of stonewalling. I raised the lack of communication with the foundation as well but they couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge the email. Any wonder people don't want to be associated with this place? Spartaz Humbug! 20:00, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but you're referring to an issue that happened in December, 2011 - so it's not quite right if you're insinuating that nothing has changed in the year since then. But as I've said, our "doors" are always open, and we've been working (and showing progress) on a number of related issues. Rjd0060 (talk) 20:08, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm not insinuating anything Rjd, I'm providing feedback. You asked for my suggestions and I commented on the issue that made me give up OTRS activity so I don't understand why you need to be so snarky back. It does rather belie your statements that you are open to hearing suggestions, which doesn't exactly auger well for being more communicative and listening does it? Spartaz Humbug! 02:37, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Snarky? Well, I'd disagree. Anyhow, as I've pointed out, your concerns pointed out are related to issues from over a year ago so I assure you that such issue has been resolved. Thank you for your feedback. Rjd0060 (talk) 04:48, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) Hi Spartaz. What you said about poor communication from OTRS admins may have been true in the past, and indeed there were some public complaints from agents themselves about some of the recent actions of admins (see m:Talk:OTRS/Volunteering#"Comments" on prospective OTRS helpers for the discussion). To that end, the admins made a statement about increasing transparency and accountability. I know actions speak louder than words and whilst I'm not an OTRS admin myself, I've been working on a complete overhaul of the pages on Meta-Wiki (and to some extent OTRS wiki). You can see what I've been working on at with a couple of the OTRS admins at m:OTRS/Cleanup - a small step to increasing this communication is the addition of extra details at m:OTRS#OTRS administrators. There's also been a rewording of all of the pages that a prospective volunteer or interested user would see to clarify what OTRS does and who to contact if you have any problems. I'd appreciate any input you have on how to improve any of the pages that are being worked on here, on my Meta talk page or feel free to just boldly edit m:OTRS/Cleanup too. Thanks! Thehelpfulone 21:56, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
I don't mean to be unhelpful but since you don't have access to the emails/issue underlaying this I'm not entirely sure how helpful your intervention is because it doesn't in anyway touch on the issue that upset me. Spartaz Humbug! 02:37, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Is there a minimum OTRS activity level required?

Hi, I saw your plea for more OTRS volunteers at WP:BLPN, and thought I'd volunteer, but I wonder if there is a minimum level of activity needed? I've been a Wikipedian for many years now, but I have inactive periods, I can't guarantee being available every day. If I would be able to take the occasional ticket when I'm available (and follow it through to the end) I'd love to help. --GRuban (talk) 14:54, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

While there are no activity requirements per se, accounts that are long inactive are closed as we don't just want open access if it isn't being used. :-) You're not required to do any amount of work though. One email or a hundred emails ... every reply is helpful! Rjd0060 (talk) 19:12, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
"long" means a month or a year? I don't think I've ever gone a year without wiki work, but I might have missed a month once or twice... All right, will volunteer. --GRuban (talk) 19:35, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! So, what's the next step? Should I get email, talk on En, or talk on Meta? Or is there some other page of instructions I should be reading and following? --GRuban (talk) 20:45, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of Eva Pierrakos article

I am wondering why you decided to delete the article on Eva Pierrakos, considering her "not notable." I object to this determination. Eva Pierrakos was the founder of the Pathwork, an internationally known spiritual path, with some 10,000 adherents worldwide. She was the daughter of a famous Austrian novelist, Jakob Wasserman, and the husband of the son of another famed German novelist, Hermann Broch. The Pathwork itself is remarkable for being a marriage of Eastern philosophy and Western psychology. I note that there are very many wikipedia pages on people who have had much less influence on people and society. How can wikipedia create a page on, say, Daft Punk, which is just a couple of guys who have cut some records? Hmmm

Thank you for your response,

Thanks for uploading File:Malaysia Airlines logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

I'm writing an article about text based games from the 80s and the information on that page would have been very valuable to me right now.

Your assistance please

I am watching Errol Morris's documentary on Joyce McKinney. I see that you deleted an article on this individual in 2008. Your deletion log entry merely says "(blp)".

Was there a discussion over whether this individual merited a stand-alone article? If so could you direct me to that discussion?

McKinney is the subject of several books, and a feature length documentary. It could be argued that the extensive press coverage, these books, the documentary, would be enough to establish her wikipedia notability. I'd like to see whether that argument was made in the deletion discussion, and I would like to read whatever counter-arguments were offered, to see if I found them convincing.

A year later another administrator made Joyce McKinney a redirect, and protected it from editing -- presumably out of respect for the original reasoning that you relied on when you deleted the original article.

If there was no discussion, if you deleted the article in response to a speedy tag, or on your sole judgment, what steps do you think would be in order to unprotect it? Geo Swan (talk) 12:31, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Brian Treanor

Ryan.

I'm updating some pages (environmental virtue ethics) as well as creating some new ones (environmental hermeneutics, martin drenthen, and others to come) in order to flesh out wikipedia's content on these developing fields. In the course of doing so I was going to update/revive the page on "Brian Treanor," which you deleted some time ago due to notability issues. The person in question currently holds a named chair at a university (the Taylor Chair of Philosophy) and, in addition, has work cited in a number of third party books and articles, which seems to meet the criteria at this point. Comparing to a number of other pages, this seems sufficient, but I'm interested in your thoughts. Other pages I hope to develop or flesh out include links for organizations (International Association for Environmental Philosophy, International Society for Environmental Ethics), and scholars (David Wood, Ted Toadvine, and others).

It was citied as being deleted for lack of 3rd party sources when in reality it has just as many sources as many other college marching bands.

Moon Seon-min

I was about to remove the Prod for Moon Seon-min as he appears to meet WP:GNG with a lot of media coverage, but you deleted it while I was still researching it.

Can you restore it? Thanks Nfitz (talk) 02:49, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

 Done Rjd0060 (talk) 02:55, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Emiliano Tade

Another one I'm afraid. Can you restore the prodded Emiliano Tade. Not sure how the top scorer in last year's Champions League wouldn't have achieved WP:GNG. Nfitz (talk) 03:10, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

 Done Rjd0060 (talk) 04:54, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Gullringens GoIF

Can you unprod Gullringens GoIF and Svalövs BK as well. At a minimum they should be redirected to Swedish Football Division 3 or Swedish Football Division 4 - though as almost all Division 3 and many Division 4 teams have articles, and the articles all seem well referenced, one has to wonder about WP:GNG and cup play.

Pandey Narmedeshwor Sahay, Renowned Bhojpuri Poet

Hi,

I removed the BLPPROD from Pandey Narmedeshwor Sahay, Renowned Bhojpuri Poet, since the article says he is dead. The WP:BLPPROD policy says that it is intended only to apply to "actual biographies of living people", and that in cases where there is any doubt of its applicability, another deletion policy should be used. I've always taken that to mean that if the article says the person is dead, BLPPROD should not be used. Since a prod was also previously contested, please take the article to AFD if you think it should be deleted. I agree that the article has problems since it is unsourced and the main contributor might have a conflict of interest, but it still needs to go to AFD to be deleted since that is the only deletion policy that is applicable. Also, it looks like you previously restored the article but forgot to restore the talk page. Since the article currently exists, the talk page should also probably be restored. Thanks. Calathan (talk) 15:48, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

I am aware of the BLPPROD policy. I overlooked the fact that the person was no longer living and just saw an article that is definitely not up to our standards. I don't care if the article stays or goes. At all. I was only carrying out the maintenance task of deletion per the request of whoever added the PROD and trying to ensure all biographies are sourced. I've restored the talk page as well. Rjd0060 (talk) 01:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC)


Guilherme de Jesus da Silva

And another Guilherme de Jesus da Silva who has 3 appearances last season for Gremio in the top Brazilian league, easily meeting WP:NFOOTBALL. Is no one else looking at these prods? Nfitz (talk) 05:07, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Ah ... hold on. I've goofed, and I've mistaken Campeonato Gaúcho Série A1 for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. (the top state league vs the top federal league). So please leave they way they are. Thanks, Nfitz (talk) 15:07, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Let me know. And if you reviewed the articles prior to deletion (which I don't know if you did or not) is there a reason you left the PROD tags on? Rjd0060 (talk) 20:42, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks. It's my mistake. I thought they'd played in the top national league, not the top state league, so the prods make sense. I didn't review the prods before deletion. I only tend to pop in every week or so, and there were a whole pile of articles that were deleted just as I started looking through the recent prods. Nfitz (talk) 03:08, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Ralph Sarchie

Hello Rjd0060, I would like to dispute the PROD that was placed on Ralph Sarchie. I believe from what I saw from the article that if it was to be deleted, it should have been via AfD as he seemed to meet the WP:GNG.STATic message me! 18:33, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Restored per policy. Next time you see a PROD'ed article that does not meet PROD deletion guidelines, remove the tag. If nobody disputes deletion it will be deleted otherwise. Rjd0060 (talk) 18:35, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Drewfer5. I've restored the article however I strongly encourage you to improve it if you can. It does not appear to meet Wikipedia's quality standards at the present moment. I would not be surprised if somebody begins a deletion discussion on this. Rjd0060 (talk) 02:01, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Gene Abel

I would be grateful if you would at least review your recent deletion of Gene Abel - so far as I can judge (for reasons explained at more length at WP:Articles for deletion/Abel Assessment), the WP:PRODder had ulterior motives, and a GScholar search fairly clearly shows the subject as meeting WP:PROF#C1. Having not seen the article, though, I accept that the WP:BLP reasons given for the WP:PROD may, whatever the motive for them, have been sufficiently justified to outweigh the subject's notability - if, on review, you think this to be the case, then feel free either not to restore the article or to take it straight to AfD.

Edit warring

Hi. I think I should explain about the edit warring in the Swedish general election, 2014 article. It was all started by an user who kept pushing forward his own view of things in the article without consensus, constantly reverting others' edits and even adding an OR tag in order to be able to defend an "there is an OR tag and you can't remove it"-like argument. We brought the issue to the talk page, but in the meantime the user refused to undo his editions until consensus could be reached whether for the tag to be added or not. Furthermore, user Number 57 and myself posted links explaining how there were no violations of wikipedia policy for translating party names, and in case of doubt, even posted links where those party names where shown in English (yet that user kept maintaining the OR tag). The user in question did none of those, only defending what was a personal opinion. Respectable as it was, of course, but still merely a personal opinion. While I understand the rationale of sending me a warning, since this is how Wikipedia works, I don't believe it is fair to ask me to stop, seeing from the article talk page that I had already expressed my intention (and I did it twice) not to further engage in that edit warring, precisely because of the 3RR, not making any edit since I first expressed my will to do so. I hope this brings some light to the issue. Cheers. Impru20 (talk) 08:45, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Impru20. Edit warring is disruptive to the editing atmosphere and the page history. Edit warring over content is one thing but once it started to reverting a maintenance template, that was about all I needed to see. I stand by my warnings to all of you and suggest the use of discussion or pursuit of dispute resolution methods. Rjd0060 (talk) 16:50, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
The maintenance template was added by the user in question in the middle of the edit warring, without either consensus or strong argumentation behind it, with the sole purpose of preventing others from discussing the issue because of such a template's sole presence. I mean, should not the addition of such a tag in such a disputed situation require, at least, a previous consultation with the involved parties or some kind of consensus? I don't think it is fair that an user keeps reverting others' edits without consensus, turns the article into an edit warring because of users trying to revert his doings, then adds a maintenance tag on his own right to prevent others from intervening and then, when an administrator intervenes and orders the warring to stop, the tag is left there; without discussion ever taking place about the opportunity of the template being added or not.
I do recognize, however, my fault on entering that edit warring, something I should have refrained from doing earlier than I did. Cheers. Impru20 (talk) 17:06, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

The Generation Rescue, et al situation

Resolved

Look, I think all or most of us would be quite happy to leave the situation if OTRS administrators were dealing with it. But so far, all you've actually said is:

  1. That you are aware of it
  2. [In response to proposed restrictions on OTRS volunteers] That this was an isolated incident.

You haven't actually given any indication that, for instance, the OTRS admins have procedures in place for dealing with it, and will do so, or even - and I do think this would be enough - that you have talked to Mdann, and are sure the situation won't arise again.

It's giving the impression that the OTRS admins either have no means in place to deal with volunteer problems, or don't see this sort of behaviour as an issue. Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:05, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

I've replied on the board. Rjd0060 (talk) 00:21, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. That should go a long way to calming the situation. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:46, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

It seems the same OTRS team member has made assertions of "super editor" status on other articles. See Suzannah Lipscomb and the related discussion on BLPN. I think this is further reason for emphasis and clarity at VTR. Just informing you, I reasonably assume the situations with the individual editor are being addressed through OTRS admin. As this involves the same editor I am also going to assume it is not a widespread issue within OTRS, but I believe close scrutiny should be applied in reviewing OTRS team agents edits by appropriate admins, with particular attention to claims of authority and lack disclosure of COI driven edits. I understand the outreach value of OTRS and the volume involved but quantity is not an excuse for policy violation etc. My desire is not to cause extra drama, but to ensure policy is adhered to. - - MrBill3 (talk) 04:56, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

That edit is over a month old. As I already stated, the issue with this editor has been addressed and policies/protocols, internal and external, have been clarified. Rjd0060 (talk) 05:03, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Is there a clear and explicit policy that state ANY edit driven/inspired/suggested by a party with a COI made by an OTRS team member MUST disclose such COI nature on the talk page of the article edited? I think this is absolutely and urgently needed. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter and for your contributions to the project. Sorry for bringing old stuff up, it just came to my attention. - - MrBill3 (talk) 05:08, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
It needs to be done. -- Brangifer (talk) 05:45, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Again, as far as OTRS goes, we're done with this issue. If the WP community wants to continue to discuss things, go right ahead. But we've done everything that we need to do to ensure our agents are aware of policies. You may wish to continue talking with the other two admins who have stepped in if you still have questions. Cheers. Rjd0060 (talk) 05:49, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Please point me to the OTRS policy on COI and the other involved admins. Thanks. - - MrBill3 (talk) 05:54, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Yes, please do. The discussions have shown that this type of stonewalling is creating a Streisand effect and not meeting concerns. We believe you when you say that you have been discussing these problems internally, but the community needs to see written measures which satisfy us that future problems will be prevented. We need more than assurances that "we are taking care of this", because they don't cut it. -- Brangifer (talk) 16:25, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
Resolved

As I stated very, very clearly: I have supplied more than what was requested. If you wish to continue to beat this horse, you can do so with the assistance of some other OTRS admin. Both Keegan and Pajz have been commenting throughout. I am not prepared to continue the back-and-forth circular arguments about the same thing over and over again. I am not the only OTRS administrator and I have taken steps back from this situation several days ago. Good luck. Rjd0060 (talk) 18:15, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello, quick question

You answered a post I had on another page so I thought maybe you'd answer one on your own. :-)

I have a problem with an editor. I'm working on talking it out, although they are currently dismissive and not at all assuming good faith ("useless edits" and accusations of NPOV against me for no apparent reason) and I have had no response from them yet. They've even warned me about edit warring, although I could equally do the same to them... Anyway, my question is: how do I escalate a conflict? If I find a person is being protectionist/possessive of a page or otherwise intransigent in a way that isn't related to appropriate Wikipedia behavior, what is the next step? I'm a long-term user, since 2004, but my edits are normally not very confrontational: I fix wikilinks and spelling and grammar and formatting (cites, etc.) so honestly I don't know what I do next. Ogress smash! 21:36, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Ogress, I happened to see this and left them a note of my own. A lot of their recent behavior is contrary to a few policies so if they continue, we'll be having more discussions. WP:ANI would likely be a good place (if it escalates) given that there is more than one issue so a separate noticeboard would be inappropriate.
For other information on dispute resolution, see this page. I hope this helps. Rjd0060 (talk) 21:51, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
Oh! Thank you. I'm just hoping they are simply tired of pro/anti-Dorje Shugden trolls and were having a bad day, we've all been there. I had posted on their own page a hopefully polite laurel branch. Ogress smash! 21:54, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Rjd0060, I've been watching these articles and trying to be a neutral there, but I am seeing an ongoing pattern of WP:BAITING of VG by a bunch of people who appear to have single use accounts or even sockpuppet accounts (Notably Audrey37 for the latter) and are dogpling her with POV pushing all linked to the Western Shugden Society perspective. Ogress appears to be new to the party and may not realize the environment she has waded into. VG is probably feeling a little besieged and needs some support; she's up against some people who aren't playing fair. Montanabw(talk) 22:01, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Montanabw, unfortunately that does not matter when it comes to the civility, potential ownership and/or other issues I saw. As I said, I was not commenting on the content - but anybody would agree by looking at the history that things are not right. Ogress is surely not the only one at fault as it typically takes two to tango, but I still stand my my comment on their page. Ogress has the same dispute resolution options as everybody else. Rjd0060 (talk) 22:05, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
Just saying that in this case, we have about five tangoing, and some are trolls... FWIW. ;-) I'm trying to watch out there, but I have other drahmahz elsewhere too. Sometimes "ownership" is quality control. But I do think there was a point about piped links and I commented on it at VG's page. I think she trusts that I am not one of the trolls attempting to sanitize the article. (If you want some background, note the pointy RM request by yet another user at 14th Dalai Lama) Montanabw(talk) 22:11, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
Sure. :-) I briefly skimmed the situation prior but I realized the content issue itself was a bit too much for me to opine on. My only intention is to encourage more discussion and less banter. Thanks for the help. Rjd0060 (talk) 22:15, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

The justification is that I am an admin, you are an admin; if I tell you it's up to you, it's up to you. I thought that was being friendly enough. Shame you had to make an issue out of it. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:25, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Kudpung, it is indeed a shame that an administrator feels that being an administrator is justification enough. Very well. Rjd0060 (talk) 01:32, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Safety of electronic cigarettes

Thank you for protecting the page. But the mammoth edits still remain. They were never discussed and most of them are part of an ongoing RFC. Rather than discuss the edits and come to consensus its been a revert them back in problem. Per WP:CAUTIOUS major edits should be discussed, they never were even after removal. Letting them stay allows those that want to bypass consensus building just ignore any discussion. AlbinoFerret 22:37, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

AlbinoFerret is continuing to delete reliable sources from position statements from reputable organisations. AlbinoFerret also deleted a number of sources including reviews without a specific objection on the talk page. See Talk:Safety of electronic cigarettes#Positions. Most editors disagree with AlbinoFerret at the RfC. See WP:SNOW. User:Bbb23 blocked AlbinoFerret for violating the three-revert rule at the Safety of electronic cigarettes page.[104]
AlbinoFerret claims "Reliability does not guarantee inclusion."[105] But AlbinoFerret has not given a specific reason for excluding relevant information about safety. AlbinoFerret has turned the page into a WP:BATTLEGROUND. AlbinoFerret is continuing to delete reliable sources.[106][107][108][109][110][111][112][113] See Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive864#User:AlbinoFerret for background information.

I just noticed that you blocked them the other day because of their username. It's not really a problem because they have got a new name, User:Rosiecornwall, but according to Wikipedia:Username policy#Usernames implying shared use that particular style of username is permitted: "However, usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", "WidgetFan87", etc." Cheers.

N00b question- Just to eliminate all categories, I deleted the current content on the page. I have been working on all of the information to list in my user sandbox.

If so, do i follow the same procedure to publish this article as I would if this was in a sandbox? ChoklatGeisha (talk) 21:55, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Newbie confused

I am new to Wikipedia and just edited my first article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wantage_Hall. I know that there have been a lot of edits in the past so I read the comments and tried to reference things properly, which seemes to be the main issue. My edit was then removed. I have tried to find out why using the talk page of the editor who undid my edit, but now I am unable to edit the post at all. I was just wondering why? I am confused by the 'vandalism' comment that you made- as far as I could tell, I was acting within the Wikipedia guidelines? Could you please let me know where I went wrong? (Also sorry if I'm not using this chat properly too-I'm a bit confused by it :/ ) Aperrett (talk) 00:04, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Aperrett, a simple look at the history should be an indicator that something is not right. Wikipedia does not tolerate such behavior, as outlined here. Once the page protection expires please do not engage in the same activity and engage in discussion with your fellow editors instead of edit warring. The notes left in the edit summaries in the history to you will likely also be of help. Rjd0060 (talk) 00:11, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
Rjd0060 Please explain to me what I have done wrong- I made my edit, which contained far fewer words than previous edits, so should have avoided the 'too much detail issue' and also used reliable sources, such as the University of Reading to enforce my edit, which was the other historical issue. This was then undone. I disagreed with this, so I reinstated my edit, and then wrote on the other editor's talk page hoping to resolve the issue. I only undid someone else's edit once, so I did not break the 3 revert rule. As this was my first ever edit, I am really not sure what I have done wrong and am regretting entering the Wikipedia minefield in the first place. As far as I am aware I acted as I should, so could you please explain to me why this is classed as 'edit warring'? Aperrett (talk) 00:25, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
Review the page history. Aperrett was not the only account involved but there are way too many disruptive edits, thus page protection or blocking was warranted. Most people do not complain when I do not block them and protect the page instead but I could have went that route. You need to discuss things with the people you were arguing with, not me. I am completely neutral on the topic. Rjd0060 (talk) 00:28, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Your protection of Wantage Hall

Greetings Rjd0060, I noticed you recently semi-protected Wantage Hall with the reason given as "Persistent vandalism". As far as I can tell, before your intervention that article had only been edited 4 times in the last year, and none of those edits could justifiably be classed as vandalism. Could you double-check your action please, and consider unprotecting it. Thank you. Des Titres (talk) 20:11, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Des Titres, if you don't see a significant amount of edit warring and other disruption in the history then I am surprised. It would appear (though I cannot be certain, of course) that one of the users engaging in the reverting was originally using an IP and then created an account to continue the same behavior. Apologies that the reason I selected was incorrect. I've fixed it. As you know, the alternative to page protection (during edit warring or other situations) is blocking accounts. We could unprotect it and go that route if the dispute continues to interfere with the article history - and I fear it would as I see no discussion on the talk page regarding the disputed items.
And of course you're free to request another opinion if you disagree with my decision but please link this discussion there so the reviewing administrator has full context. Rjd0060 (talk) 23:23, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, MichaelQSchmidt. To be brutally honest, I have no opinion on either the deleted article nor your proposed one. I deleted it solely as a procedural action. If you'd like me to restore the old article once you move your draft to the mainspace, I can do that - it is especially important if you used parts of the old article.

Heart of Light

In future, please do a google book search before deleting an article. It should never have been deleted. A lot of very notable articles are unsourced, even ones like Sunset Strip. We don't delete them. Unsourced doesn't necessarily mean non notable. If you've been given tools on here, I expect you to use them with caution. As the person who deleted this, it was your duty to check in google books to assess notability rather than taking the word of the person who wrongfully prodded it. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:01, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Dr. Blofeld. I will have to respectfully disagree. In accordance with the proposed deletion policy, it is not up to the deleting administrator to work on improving the tagged articles. Somebody else should have removed the tag in the allotted period. As you'll see above, a lot of people have issue with the policy. Unfortunately, I'm just the messenger in this case - and if you'd like to change the PROD policy, you'd have to take other steps to do that. Otherwise, I would have happily restored the article per your request, in accordance with the aforementioned policy. While I do more extisive reviews on some of the PROD deletions, all that is required is a 4-point check prior to deletion. Apologies for the inconvenience. Good day. Rjd0060 (talk) 20:16, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
I didn't say it was up to you to work on the articles. But I do think before you delete anything here you should do a quick check yourself as people frequently tag notable articles because they're short/undeveloped. If you do a check and it seems they;re right, delete it, if it seems actually there's a fair few hits, remove the tag and alert the article creator. How much is it to ask you to do a 10 second google search in books and assess whether there's hits or not?♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:21, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Well, if I was going to put the effort into finding sources I might as well add them to the article while removing the PROD tag since we wouldn't want an article around without sources. Especially a BLP. Every editor has access to PROD'd articles a whole week before they are ultimately deleted (or not). That's the time for article improvement. If a PROD tag is removed, by an admin who denies it for example, chances of the article getting updates and brought up to standards? Slim to none, considering it was up for deletion for a week and nobody noticed that, either. So again I don't think we have an issue here but more so with the process of proposed deletions. Thank you. Rjd0060 (talk) 20:28, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Another give away should be if the article has several interwiki links to other wikipedias.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:43, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
I'd delete it again if I ran across the same situation. So again, take your argument to the PROD talk page and change the policy if you do not like it, rather than complaining to me for carrying out the community-elected protocol. I have nothing else to say on this, Dr. Blofeld. Rjd0060 (talk) 18:45, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
People who can't admit fault are a real problem on here. You can't be trusted with the tools. Do this again and I'll have you desysopped. It's pure laziness.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:48, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Question about article deletion

Hi there! I noticed that your username was listed as having deleted List of programmes broadcast by Cartoon Network UK & Ireland since it was apparently a redirect to deleted page Cartoon Network (Middle East & Africa). Do you know if that had been the case for long? A UK & Ireland article wouldn't have existed as a redirect for a different version of the channel in a different country, so I'm wondering if the redirect was a result of some temporary vandalism, and possibly one sockpuppet editor in particular who has affected a number of similar articles in the past. I can't see the article history as the article has been deleted, but I'd be surprised if the redirect had been in place for very long, and it wouldn't have been a legitimate edit if it was. Do you happen to have any more information? Thanks. Bonusballs (talk) 18:20, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Bonusballs, it was a redirect to that target page since the page was originally created and moved in 2011. The target title changed a couple of times since then but it always led to the same article. Rjd0060 (talk) 21:49, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Anyone can claim their website is a "tea party" website. There really isn't any evidence to support the claim that the Koch Brothers made the first tea party website in 2002. I recommend a review of this claim because it's in the main introduction and i can find ZERO evidence. Catsmeow8989 (talk) 08:45, 30 May 2015 (UTC)


Here is the section that I feel should be examined:

In 2002, the first Tea Party movement website was designed and published by Citizens for a Sound Economy and stated "our US Tea Party is a national event, hosted continuously online and open to all Americans who feel our taxes are too high and the tax code is too complicated."[22][23][24] According to Fox News Channel commentator Juan Williams, the Tea Party movement emerged from the "ashes" of Ron Paul's 2008 presidential primary campaign.[25]Catsmeow8989 (talk) 08:47, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Uplike

Hello, I notice that you deleted the page for Uplike.

Uplike was just named as France’s fastest-growing tech startup by The Newt Web (TNW) and won the Tech5 startup contest. There is also official a video on Youtube posted by TNW.

Uplike is also mentioned in the The Next Web wikipedia page.

Please could you re-activate the page so I can work on improving it and add new essential references, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatkarl27 (talk • contribs) 09:47, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Jack Harris (broadcaster)

I see you had deleted the page for Jack Harris (broadcaster) for notability being in question and non-encyclopedia standards, as this is a local sports and news broadcast personality. In this day and age Wikipedia has grown to have more content than any print encyclopedia ever could, including content relevant to certain specific audiences (such as local history). You'll notice most major local journalists and media personalities now have entries. Refer to [staff of WPVI in Philadelphia] where every personality has a page. In the case of the Tampa Bay market, figures such as Keith Cate, Dick Crippen and Paul Dellegatto all have pages, though only of significance to one or two media markets. In fact, on the WTVT page, Jack Harris is now the only Notable former on-air staff not to have a Wikipedia entry.

The previous Jack Harris page was rather long and included a good deal of information that wasn't necessary in its level of detail and failed to provide enough references to back its notability. With restoring this page, I (or another contributor) could create a considerably trimmed down version (a paragraph or two), explaining his significance as a 50+ year sports, radio and television broadcaster, with ample references and citations.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mistercintas (talk • contribs) 21:09, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

FBReader

I plan to revert the deletion:
FBReader is essential for epub reading on Linux,
the only other choice is CoolReader for GNOME desktop environments.

Xb2u7Zjzc32 - as the PROD policy explains they may be undeleted in most cases simply by request. So I don't see any issue in your comment. But you'll need to pull it out of the userspace as I see it was usefied in order to do so. Regards. Rjd0060 (talk) 12:22, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
EPUB shows several Linux readers, so "essential" may be a bit of an overstatement, but that isn't a deletion criterion, is it? LeadSongDog come howl! 12:29, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
LeadSongDog: EPUB shows several Linux readers
  • FBReader & CoolReader are the only GNOME desktop ones in the Ubuntu software repository
  • not as usable as iOS or Android ones
  • FBReader is the least-bad stand-alone EPUB Reader

Deletion of Toms (cartoonist)

You had deleted this page after WP:PROD expired. This person is actually the best known cartoonist from the Indian state of Kerala and notability can be easily established.

Deletion of Ben Kirshner

Hi

I noticed you deleted the page for Ben Kirshner because of the concern that he is CEO of non-notable company. I just want to confirm you took into consideration that he is the CEO of Elite SEM and Coffeeforless.com. He is a well known business man and part of a few company boards, organizations etc. The article page I believe was flagged for deletion because the company page (Elite SEM) on Wikipedia page had issues. There was a large discussion taking place on the Talk section for both pages with many other users discussing this. I would ask that you please reconsider and undelete the page. I can help improve the article as well.

Thank You Tonyeny (talk) 15:01, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Tonyeny, no - I did not take anything into consideration other than the fact that a Proposed Deletion tag remained in place for a pre-determined required amount of time thus making the article eligible for deletion. Please read the aforementioned policy for further information. Rjd0060 (talk) 19:14, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Power rangers actors

  • Hey, is here any sort of way we can have a consensus or a discussion on getting the Nakia Burrise and Karan Ashley articles back? They were deleted as they didn't fall under Wikipedia guidelines, but I disagree. They are both very notable actresses. Boaxy (talk) 23:35, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Boaxy, if you provide the specific titles of the article(s) they may be undeleted in accordance with the PROD policy. Of course if the articles are not brought up to standards they still could be deleted via another process so I encourage improvement if you do want the article(s) restored.

Michael Turner (actor)

Information and articles on Michael Turner were hard to find but he was consistently in British Film and Television. As he wasn't generally a principal actor, I think jobbing actor is the term, he would probably remain one of those actors whom you had seen but couldn't always name. A reliable source IMDb was used and listed his appearances over 47 years. It does seem a shame to have deleted his entry, but as there seems to be little information on his personal life it may not have made for an informative article. Similar actors appear in a BlogSpot named familiar-unknown. Stedbeat (talk) 10:15, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Stedbeat, I've restored the article. Rjd0060 (talk) 04:54, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Why did you delete Nupur Sharma Page?

The oage indicates that you deleted the page because of notability. Let me point out that Nupur has fought two elections, one which she won, and the other which she contested against the Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal. She is an author, lawyer, youth leader and one of the youngest leaders of the ruling party. Please do reinstate the page. happy to provide you content to back everything of what I have said User: rajneilkamath — Preceding undated comment added 17:17, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

To RJD0060, Hello!

As far as we know it shows that you deleted the page "Nupur Sharma" on 31st July 2015 at 17:56 pm. The reasons that you've mentioned for deletion of the page are incorrect which are -

1. She has fought 2 elections and not just one. First was the DUSU election in 2008 and won the position of the president of Delhi University. She fought her second election in January (Vidhansabha 2015) against the chief minister of Delhi and gave him a tough fight.

2. Talking of "no notability " - we have been going through several Wikipedia pages of people/personalities we've hardly heard of /seen - extinct in the world of media (I can share some examples if you ask for some)

3. To use the word Unsuccessful is easy but to justify it is a task. How can a woman who at the age of 30 has recently fought an election against the chief minister of Delhi cannot be successful? Somebody who we keep watching on almost all news channels all day long - how can she be unsuccessful and have no notability. So if you say that by loosing the Vidhansabha election against Kejriwal by a very small margin is unsuccessful then what do you call winning the DUSU elections in 2008? Let's be very clear on what we are trying to proove. A lawyer by profession, a columnist and a young leader of the BJP definitely is famous, active and successful.

Please do reinstate the page. We will be happy to provide you with the correct content/information as and when required.

Deletion of Strangers Within Page

The deletion log lists the reason as a lack of multiple reliable sources. There are a few I have found already - two credible news sources and a video interview - which contradict this. The production company haven't had any involvement with the page since its creation where multiple authors - apparently not just people connected to the film - have contributed. The Wiki page for this film acts to educate people on what is achievable through determination and how money doesn't always dictate a project's success. The page also conveniently aggregate all of the key information from articles written on the film so far onto a well presented, extremely familiar format for people across the globe.

By reinstating it you will help lots of young people achieve recognition for their work and start their careers.

I hope you don't mind me contacting you but I believe this is a really worthwhile cause. I contributed to this project on the Kickstarter early last year but am not directly connected with the film or its creators, for your reference.

RealDownloader page undeltion request

Hello Rjd0060, could you please undelete the RealDownloader page? I wasn't aware the page was under review until today that I realized that RealDownloader, which I have been using for a while, appears to not be included in the newest release of Real networks with Windows 10 (not sure about previous versions of Windows). RealDownloader is, or maybe was, a very reliable video downloader utility supporting different video formats. Along with RealDownloader RealPlayer Converter and RealPlayer Trimmer were also installed... an edit that I'll make next to the RealNetworks page ;)

I never read the deleted article so not sure what I would find there but I was looking for the current state of the RealDownloader product, wheather it works with Windows 10 with which browsers and whether it is included with the new RealNetworks media player so I could decide to upgrade or not. The RealNetworks website does not talk about it at all.

Power Ranger actor one more

I need you to restore one more power ranger actor who you deleted as you assumed that was his only notability. Kevin Duhaney, is also an established cartoon and animation voice over artist, been in many disney channel shows, and also is a musician with music on youtube. So he has not only just done Power Rangers. So please restore his page like you did with the other two, thank you. This is also the last one it should be. Boaxy (talk) 08:10, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Boaxy, well what I need is for you to refactor your request with a complete list of articles you'd like restored. Furthermore, I don't appreciate your comment that "[I] assumed". For your information, the proposed deletion policy takes the decision making away from the administrator who deletes the article. It was nominated by a user, remained pending for a deletion without a single objection for 7 days, and I simply came along and deleted it. In fact, I likely didn't even read the article. Remember that assumptions are dangerous. Regards, Rjd0060 (talk) 12:42, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
  • As I mentioned before, this is the last article. I originally meant to conclude it in the first request. I apologize for my attitude. I just saw your reason for deletion was non notability outside of power rangers. I would agree if he didn't have nobility outside of that, but he does. Boaxy (talk) 12:45, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Margaret Sanger

I'd love to know how you hope this will play out. The page has been something of a hotbed since the start of the latest assault on Planned Parenthood funding in July, and certainly we can expect that to continue through the anticipated Fall Congressional session, and perhaps into winter’s GOP primary season. If the problems cannot simply be made to go away, it might be better to deal with them sooner rather than later -- both because long wrangles are bad for volunteers, and more pressingly because this might well come ripe just as Arbcom gets finished with Shabbazz/Israel-Palestine. With continuing attention on Gender Gap and Gamergate at Wikipedia, a blowup here won't be good for the project.

But you do have some advantages. It might not be obvious, but Margaret Sanger falls under Gamergate as a gender-related dispute: if Lena Dunham’s sister does (and we have an ARCA ruling on that), certainly Sanger does. The 30 day/500 edit rule in place at Gamergate won't solve all the problems, but may make life easier. MarkBernstein (talk) 21:33, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

MarkBernstein, duly noted however as I noted I chose not to block you all for the reason that there are other things you can contribute to if you don't want to discuss and reach some sort of agreement. And to be honest your account stands out the most when looking at the reversions in the history. So back to your initial comment about my thoughts on how it will play out: my only interest was to cease the current edit warring and disruption. I've done so. Rjd0060 (talk) 21:37, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
sorry you think so. I'm not entirely sure, strictly speaking, that I've proposed a single revert on that page. I did do quite a bit of line editing today-- something in whichI have some professional background, incidentally, and which the article sorely needs.

Hello Rjd0060. I understand the reason for deletion. We would like to work to improve the article, to meet the Wikipedia quality standards for Wikipedia. Would it be possible for you to undelete it, so that we may work on it. Also, can you point me to a resource that explains a period of time by which we need to make updates? I want to be sure we are working within the Wikipedia guidelines. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance. LeahVanRooy (talk) 20:43, 23 August 2015 (UTC)Leah Van Rooy

LeahVanRooy, I've restored the article. There is no time limit for improvement - it's a matter of an editor finding and creating a discussion for deletion. Those discussions take about a week - during which time you are free to work on the article. If people see an improvement is begin made, chances are they will work with you. Rjd0060 (talk) 21:04, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Micheline Montreuil

If I indef'd it for an extended period, it was strictly an accidental selection of the wrong item from the drop-down menu of time options. I certainly didn't intend to protect it for anything more than the minimum amount of time necessary (i.e. 3 hours, the smallest block of time possible) to ensure that I'd have the time to explain to Ms. Montreuil why I had made the changes to her version that she was re-reverting — if I did select anything other than 3 hours, it was a pure accident and not at all what I was trying to do. Bearcat (talk) 20:46, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Would you mind kindly restoring that and fdirecting me to the person that did the prod. they failed to notify me that it was nominated. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 01:39, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Did you overlook this? Hell in a Bucket (talk) 01:17, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
No, I haven't visited the wiki since you left both messages. Note that people are not required to notify you but are encouraged to do so as a courtesy. Additionally, you could request undeletion elsewhere if we're not around. Anyways, I've restored it. Rjd0060 (talk) 02:40, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Yeah I understand all that it's common courtesy though at least on articles. Content creators should be respected to to fix the work. All that being said would you mind re-deleting it I reviewed it and did quite a bit of searching and the nominator was correct in their assessment, so while I'm irritated with how they did it ultimately I agree with the rationale at this point.

RealDownloader page undeltion request

Hello Rjd0060, could you please undelete the RealDownloader page? I wasn't aware the page was under review until today that I realized that RealDownloader, which I have been using for a while, appears to not be included in the newest release of Real networks with Windows 10 (not sure about previous versions of Windows). RealDownloader is, or maybe was, a very reliable video downloader utility supporting different video formats. Along with RealDownloader RealPlayer Converter and RealPlayer Trimmer were also installed... an edit that I'll make next to the RealNetworks page ;)

I never read the deleted article so not sure what I would find there but I was looking for the current state of the RealDownloader product, wheather it works with Windows 10 with which browsers and whether it is included with the new RealNetworks media player so I could decide to upgrade or not. The RealNetworks website does not talk about it at all.

Kalkitech is a 16 year old company and doing great work in utility communication standardization in India. I am not sure what Wikipedia guidelines for notability is, but i do believe if a page has been there for many many years, i do believe it has survived the test of time and one fine morning, it getting deleted is not correct or good.

Power Ranger actor one more

I need you to restore one more power ranger actor who you deleted as you assumed that was his only notability. Kevin Duhaney, is also an established cartoon and animation voice over artist, been in many disney channel shows, and also is a musician with music on youtube. So he has not only just done Power Rangers. So please restore his page like you did with the other two, thank you. This is also the last one it should be. Boaxy (talk) 08:10, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Boaxy, well what I need is for you to refactor your request with a complete list of articles you'd like restored. Furthermore, I don't appreciate your comment that "[I] assumed". For your information, the proposed deletion policy takes the decision making away from the administrator who deletes the article. It was nominated by a user, remained pending for a deletion without a single objection for 7 days, and I simply came along and deleted it. In fact, I likely didn't even read the article. Remember that assumptions are dangerous. Regards, Rjd0060 (talk) 12:42, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
  • As I mentioned before, this is the last article. I originally meant to conclude it in the first request. I apologize for my attitude. I just saw your reason for deletion was non notability outside of power rangers. I would agree if he didn't have nobility outside of that, but he does. Boaxy (talk) 12:45, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
    • So yes again this is the final article, I took the time to make sure, there should be no further inquiries about this issue.

Hello Rjd0060 I noticed that CEVA logistics page has been deleted. The reason for deletion that was mentioned was: Fails notability requirements per WP:CORP). Can you undelete the page. CEVA is one of the largest logistics companies in the world and as such notable enough to have an article on wikipedia. Thank you. Pemberly (talk) 08:37, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Pemberly, I'm afraid you are not realizing one of the core principles of Wikipedia and that is articles should contain verifiable material rather than the alleged "truth".

Please restore NewsBank -- it is most obviously a very notable archival news database service available at hundreds of libraries around the world -- akin to LexisNexis.

Further, the cites had lots of incoming links to the article as a way of helpful verification for the reader.

If need be, I'll work on it to ensure the article is properly cited.

After all, I see it was just a Prod and not AFD. If someone wants, after my quality improvement work is done, they can then try AFD.

Deletions

Hello, Rjd0060,
I don't think we have crossed paths before. I was just looking at the deletion log and noticed that somehow you deleted dozens of CSDs and Expired PRODs in the same minute. I know how that action is done if it is a mass revert of a banned users edits. But how to you simultaneously delete so many pages from different editors all at the same time? Is it a script of some kind? Thanks for any answer you can provide. Liz Read! Talk! 22:35, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Liz, the deletions were all related to the proposed deletion policy. The CSDs were simply a result of the deleted PROD article. But to answer your question, the deletions are assisted by Twinkle. The process that I use when deleting these articles is ensuring that the PROD tag remained in place for an uninterrupted required pending period and that there were no previous deletions. If those conditions are met, the articles are eligible for deletion and deleted. Any talk pages and redirects are also deleted in accordance with the deletion policy. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Rjd0060 (talk) 02:51, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Undeleting Appknox

Hello Rjd0060,

The reason for deletion as stated was: 

07:55, 2 October 2015 Rjd0060 (talk | contribs) deleted page Appknox (Expired PROD, concern was: WP:PROMO, WP:TOOSOON article about a non-notable one year old startup, created by undisclosed paid editor.)

Which is not true at all. Regarding WP:PROMO the article was written in neutral stand-point. I would like to contribute and make sure, I can edit it properly and make the language more Neutral.

Regarding WP:TOOSOON is not applicable, since we are a funded start-up and we are already 1.65 years old. I don't see a clause which talks about a requirement for having an Article entry.

If you can un-delete the article, I can start working on it, and try to make the article better with a neutral standpoint and make sure, it doesn't falls under the WP:PROMO category.

Request for information for deletion of SmartFocus page

Hi,

My Smartfocus page was deleted due to the coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline.

How can i find out which coverage it was within the page that wasn't justified enough?

I am unable to now view the page to justify any articles further, and we believe the page was reported by a disgruntled ex-employee of ours.

Can you please suggest how i move forward with this, as we would love to get the page back up and running.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have deleted or made changes to some of the content that sounded like an advertisment, as this was stated as being the problem i believe. I have also add more / different references to justify what has been said.

Is there still a cause for concern for the page to be removed? Or can the page remain up now?

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emvfr (talk • contribs) 15:09, 4 November 2015 (UTC)


Hello,

Further to my previous comment, can you confirm if the SmartFocus page is now within the Wikipedia guidelines, or if there is still a cause for concern?

I believe the changes i made have improved the page as to make it not sound like an advertisment and have justified the articles further by adding more relevant links.

Please let me know if the page is now fine.

Request for undeletion: Magnolia (CMS)

Kindly undelete the article Magnolia (CMS). The article was deleted with the reason "Expired PROD", citing insufficient references per Wikipedia:Notability_(software) guidelines. I would like to attempt to revise the article to better meet the notability guidelines and provide more reliable references. Thank you, Ahietala

Hi Ahietala. I've restored it. It actually shouldn't have been deleted in the first place since it was deleted via PROD once previously. My mistake. Thanks for the note! Rjd0060 (talk) 21:40, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Request for undeletion: List of The Sword of Truth characters

Can you please undelete List of The Sword of Truth characters? There are 17 books in the series, they have sold millions worldwide, and the TV series lasted for 2 seasons. While it does need to be improved, it should not be deleted. At the most, it should be merged to The Sword of Truth, but honestly I don't see how you could fit everyone on that page, even if you only include characters that appear in multiple books because there are a lot of them. JDDJS (talk) 15:03, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

In addition to what JDDJS stated, I came here to ask why you felt the article needed deletion per WP:G8. I also thought about asking Sandstein why he felt the need to tag the article for deletion when he is aware that such articles exist for every type of television show; for example, Sandstein and I are fans of the Game of Thrones series, but I don't see that he tagged the List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters and List of Game of Thrones characters articles, which are not much better than the List of The Sword of Truth characters article, for deletion. Yes, I'm invoking WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. I didn't notice until yesterday that Sandstein had prodded the article for deletion. I didn't think it would be deleted just like that, which is why I didn't address the matter on the article talk page. There are interviews given by the portrayers of the Legend of the Seeker characters, and that is just one way that the List of The Sword of Truth characters article can be fixed up. I suggest WP:Userfying the article in my userspace until it is further fixed up. JDDJS and others are more than welcomed to work on the article that way. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 18:43, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Furthermore, such articles are always mostly plot, even the WP:Good and WP:Featured ones. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 18:47, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

JDDJS, Flyer22 Reborn: I've restored the article in accordance with the proposed deletion policy. You should be able to find the answers your questions there. Rjd0060 (talk) 21:53, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Request for undeletion - Sematext

Hello Rjd0060 -

My company, Sematext, is a legitimate IT consulting and software firm that has been in business for 5+ years. We have clients like Salesforce, Walmart, Thomson Reuters, Microsoft, and many others. Please check out site to see for yourself: https://sematext.com/

Several months ago our Wikipedia entry was deleted with the reason given as: "Advert for unnotable entity." With a customer list like we have, it is very far from being unnotable. Although we are a small company we are certainly legitimate. Can you please reinstate us soon, as we have some partnerships to be announced with larger companies this month and in 2016, and it looks odd to not even have a Wikipedia entry.

You can contact me directly with any questions: mick.emmett@sematext.com

Thank you,

Deletion of page "List of obfuscators for .NET"

May I ask why you have deleted the page "List of obfuscators for .NET"? I can't see any reason for this in the talk page. LonelyPixel (talk) 14:28, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello Curro2. Articles deleted via the proposed deletion process can be re-created upon request. If you wish to ensure its deletion (should it be re-created again) you'll need to pursue AfD. Rjd0060 (talk) 00:40, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
