User talk:Shereth/Archive07RfA thanks
Hi Shereth, I missed this notice and discussion completely. This page was deleted at this person was not deemed to be sufficiently noteworthy to be included in Wikipedia, that this was based on a single incident, and didn't have sustained coverage. This is my fault as I didn't maintain the page and wasn't sufficiently aware of teh BIO requirements of Wiki. I would like this article to be re-instated so I can update it, as follows; Antonino Rizzuto was the administrator for Public Health in Palermo. (Centro Siciliano di Documentazione "Giuseppe Impastato" 11 January 2000, http://www.centroimpastato.it/php/crono.php3?month=1&year=2000) He was responsible for issuing exemptions to builders allowing them to bypass normal public-health requirements (Mafia News, 12 January 2000, unable to locate original source) He issued safety-certificates for dangerous and illegal meat products (Centro Siciliano di Documentazione "Giuseppe Impastato" Cronologia, 21 January 1997) He was heavily involved in the running of the Noce cosche of Cosa Nostra (La Repubblica) At the time he vaccinated the Riina children, he was Director of Vaccinations for the entire region of Sicily. ("DA PICCIOTTO DI LIGGIO A DITTATORE DELLA MAFIA", La Repubblica, 16 June 1993). At the time of his arrest the State confiscated property and possessions valued at EUR 50million. (Centro Siciliano di Documentazione "Giuseppe Impastato" Cronologia, 21 January 1997) This is a person who was sufficiently trusted by Riina, one of the most infamous gangsters in modern times, to vaccinate all 4 children, over a period of several years. U Cortu, according to Wikipedia, probably killed 40 people personally, and is certainly responsable for several thousand deaths in the Mattanza of the early '80s, including judges, prosecutors, police, women, children etc. etc. Anyone trusted by U Cortu with the wellbeing of his family is by any definition a noteworthy person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seaneendubh (talk • contribs) 13:20, 4 September 2008 (UTC) BP and Todd PalinPlease let me explain why the status of BP is relevant. The average reader will not know BP is a foreign company, since they no longer go by their former namee, British Petroleum." The US has not had a VP whose spouse was the employee of a foreign company. It may or may not be a security risk, but it is important that voters be aware of it so that they can make their own decision. --Zeamays (talk) 00:56, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
SnappingI am sorry if you object to my concern about deletion of public-domain photos. My request was not to delete public-domain photos marked as such. I have found the Library of Congress collection of government photos invaluable for illustrating Wikipedia articles, and for no good reason I get automated messages stating that they will be rapidly deleted. Apparently certain users have some kind of program that posts messages which can't read the posted statement of the origin of the photos and don't bother to actually look at them before deleting. I have had this happen any number of times. It is not a rare event. --Zeamays (talk) 17:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
St. Marks FloridaThe graphic you have created on the page for St. Marks , Florida, could use an edit, it appears you have the city placed just a littl north of where it actually is. I know scale is hard, but the city is only 6 miles from the coast via the st.marks river.

Easy as pi?: Making mathematics articles more accessible to a general readershipThe discussion, to which you contributed, has been archived, with very much additional commentary, Image licensingHey there... I am trying to clean up some of the images with minor licensing issues and I came across Image:Arkyan truck snow.jpg which is only used on one of your subpages User:Shereth/Bio which I see you have not edited in a while. I wonder if you still need the subpage and/or the image. If you do not need the sub-page, just add {{db-author}} to the top and an admin will come and delete it. If you do not need the image, follow the instructions at WP:IfD or drop me a note and I will nominate it for you. At a minimum, if you are going to use the image, could you go and fix the licensing on the image page and be clear about releasing the image under a GFDL license. Thanks. If you have any questions, please drop me a note on my talk page. --Jordan 1972 (talk) 22:25, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

BJBot (talk) 06:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC) Baiting?I'm tired of people who decide to come up with utterly unreasonable and illogical oppose rationales, like "don't like the user name", "feels bad to me", "no obvious problems but can't trust" , "too much automated editing", and then when they come on to RfA with the very same issues feel like they should be ignored. I find his oppose rationales upsetting, and I'm asking him why should we not hold him to the same hypocritical standard he seems to hold others to. I'm sorry that you feel I'm bating this user, but to me it's a valid question. May I please ask why you feel it's "baiting" and how you classify that? -- Logical Premise Ergo? 18:09, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Weirdo82Pursuant to this discussion, you issued a final warning against Weirdo82 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). I did not notice the final warning (he deletes them), and reissued another final today.

Corrupt SVG from User:ArkyBotI noticed that the SVG image Image:Delaware_County_Indiana_Incorporated_and_Unincorporated_areas_Albany_Highlighted.svg, uploaded by ArkyBot is corrupt. Do you still have an in-tact version available to re-upload? Koert van der Veer (talk) 07:39, 7 October 2008 (UTC) Wikipedia StatsHi, i saw that you have participated actively at WT:RFA especially into the adminship candidates and stats etc. I agree that it is definitely something that we should all think about and something of note that i would want to know is keeping a watch of Special:Statistics especially the stat of active users (registered users with at least one action the past 30 days). At the moment it is 153K and i would like to know out of curiosity what the figure has been over time. Do you think this is possible, what the count was say 1 yr ago? It would be interesting to see.

Doesn't "all" imply "without exception"?I'm sorry, but especially in the context of talking about a relatively small number of clearly listed items, I think it's pretty clear that "all" clearly implies "every one of the listed items, without exception". If a plain vote (no caveats stated) of Support means anything other than "move all of them, without exception", I don't see how the votes could be counted. Just trying to understand your objection to my interpreting "all" as "without exception", especially in this context. Thanks. --Serge (talk) 00:17, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Delaware County, Indiana MapsHey Arkyan, or Shereth as your moniker now implies. Long time no type. I noticed an issue with the city map images of Delaware County, Indiana where the maps wouldn't display properly and show a white block where the image should be. I went ahead and fixed these particular maps by manually editing the .svg XML and reuploading them, but I don't know now if any of the other Arkybot maps have the same issue. I just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Something I've recently noticed is that most if not all U.S. counties are predismabiguated with , Statename. Including this unnecessary information in the article titles seems like a violation of naming guidelines and conventions since precision only is supposed to come into play "when necessary". I've raised the issue in a narrow sense at Talk:Los Angeles County, California#Predisambiguated_article_title, but am interested in whether you agree county names should be at [[Countyname County]] unless there is a conflict to work out. Thanks... --Born2cycle (talk) 20:32, 3 November 2008 (UTC) Thanks for you input on the above. I decided to try to go after the root problem.

South Kenmore extends quite aways down the east shore of Lake Washington, in addition to the area that you've highlighted. I don't have the tools to modify your image, so I'm letting you know here.

I was wondering if you created one for Antelope, CA? If you have I haven't found it on wikipedia... if you didn't create it, could you possible make one? If you have time. The current picture on the Antelope page is atrocious. I have no idea how to edit graphics or anything, so I'd really appreciate it.

The map you have representing the Phoenix freeway system, especially the conceptual corridors, is not consistent with current MAG planning efforts and conveys troubling information to the public at large (especially your route 803 across native American lands). Respectfully, please return the map back to its original form where the known freeway corridors are illustrated and the speculative corridors are removed. The best source for this map is available at [[1]]. If you have any questions, please Email or phone the MAG offices at 602 254-6300. Thank you.

If you would like information about future corridor planning, please consult the Building a Quality Arizona website [2]. This is a cooperative website, between MAG, ADOT, and the Arizona COG and MPO Association, where we are looking at future of growth in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area and the potential high capacity corridors that may accompany them, especially in the Hassayampa and Hidden Valleys west and south of the urban area. I think you will find the information interesting as the region figures out how to accommodate another 5.2 million residents and studies other connections to and from the Phoenix region. Feel free to contact me through that website if you have any questions.

US Obesity MapHere are some improvements for your US Obesity map. First, the legend isn't part of the image. The legend is only viewable in its caption at Obesity. Second, it uses a rainbow color map for ordinal values. People don't have a built-in perception of order when it comes to the rainbow. For ordinal values, it is better to use something like gray-scale, the black-body radiation spectrum, red-to-green, or blue-to-yellow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.244.101.157 (talk) 07:42, 4 December 2008 (UTC) Bradley vs BaxterGreetings. A number Bradley County Alabama maps created by you on commons incorrectly highlighted Baxter county. (Such as: this, though I deleted the original because of past problems with people reverting maps and it going unnoticed) I've fixed the highlighting so not action is required there, but you may want to check your contributions for any similar systemic error. Thank you so much for creating nice maps for Wikipedia. --Gmaxwell (talk) 04:31, 10 December 2008 (UTC) city boundary needs correction on Sarasota map insertYour insert drawing in the infobox for Sarasota has an error that I am hoping you can correct. This is a really odd situation. Contrary to your drawing, the city boundary follows the bay front right to the Manatee county line on the mainland -- including a small portion of one incorporated neighborhood, The Uplands, the governance of which is divided among the city, Sarasota County, and Manatee County. The city portion extends from the waters of Sarasota Bay to the property lines of those parcels at Uplands Boulevard. The boulevard runs parallel north to south about 400 feet from the shoreline. At the intersection of Uplands Boulevard with Edwards Drive is the Manatee County line, runing east to west. At that point the city (on the bay front side of the boulevard) and Sarasota County (on the eastern side of the boulevard) abut Manatee County. The boulevard extends into Manatee County, terminating in a dead end. Making matters worse, the mailing address of all properties in the subdivision is "Sarasota" due to postal boundaries drawn before Sarasota county existed (all used to be in Manatee, but everything south of the natural barrier of Bowlees Creek (about a mile north) was considered "culturally" part of the city of Sarasota before 1921). It is even more complicated because below the current Manatee county line, all of the state property on both the eastern and western boundaries of the Uplands subdivision, is within the city (and of course Sarasota county as well) -- but the central portion of the subdivision remains only in Sarasota County, totally surrounded by other juristictions. So the configuration is a u-shaped portion of the city surrounding the only-county-portion and both of them abuting the line for Manatee County -- it is quite a conflicted neighborhood because of the divisions. Thanks for providing the insert and if there is anything I can do to help you with the correction, please let me know. ---- 83d40m (talk) 06:21, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Re: Username ReportsHi, and thanks for your note about username reports. The reason I reported these users to WP:RFCN and not UAA is that users had left username concern templates on their talk pages, indicating that discussion had taken place and that the username may possibly have been declined at UAA previously. Due to this I thought it might be seen as poor protocol to report them to UAA again. Also, I was not really sure about several of the violations. However, I have started to report "admin" and "bot" usernames to UAA instead of RFCN, since these were found to be clear-cut violation. I hope this sounds ok.
