Speedy deletion declined: Madlamark skole

Hello CapMan07008. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Madlamark skole, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Doesn't seem to exist in Norwegian, at least not at the link in the speedy nomination. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers 16:57, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it must've been deleted. I remember checking it. Thanks for letting me know. The Determinator p t c 17:00, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

June 2012

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Francis Bacon with this edit, did not appear to be constructive, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Foreign-language articles

Hi. Thanks for patrolling new pages, a tedious but essential task. When you find a foreign-language article like Faarax Gaarane Faatule, WP:CSD#G1 is not the right tag to use: the definition of that specifically "excludes poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, implausible theories, vandalism and hoaxes, fictional material, coherent non-English material, and poorly translated material." There is advice on what to do at WP:NPP#Dealing with foreign language new pages. This was a difficult one because it was in a language (Somali) that Google Translate can't yet cope with, but it was reasonably clear that it was an NN autobio, and I deleted it under WP:CSD#A7. There is a useful set of templates, some of them bilingual, at WP:PNT/T, that can be used to point foreign-language contributors to their native WP. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:53, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Lana Del Rey, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. The name of the place is....-Babylon-5-> 14:35, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you post the link to the diff for which you are giving me such a harsh warning. Thank you. The Determinator p t c 14:42, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]


No problem, it was a | BLP violation. It read in part:

Del Rey was born Elizabeth Grant in New York City and grew up in LANAREYDELMAR IS A [** READACTED**] (MEMES DESCRIBE HER PERFECTLY!!!) 

+

It was unreferenced and without a reference , it could have been construed as an attack The name of the place is....-Babylon-5-> 14:50, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like KoshVorlon mistakenly restored a vandal edit The Determinator reverted,[1] I think trying to remove it himself in an edit conflict. KoshVorlon then apparently got confused and thought The Determinator was the vandal in the first place, posting this warning here, just as you identified his edit as vandalism when it was just a mistake. The only thing The Determinator failed to do initially was revert all of the vandalism, because the all-caps statement was posted by the editor before the last one he initially reverted.[2] Probably means we all need to slow down a bit and doublecheck what we're editing and the article's edit history to see who is actually responsible for what, and you should certainly do that when you are asked to explain a vandalism warning. Also, a note to KoshVorlon: when reverting obvious vandalism, don't treat it as if it were just an ordinary unsourced statement about a living person in your edit summary ("REMOVE BLP" also doesn't mean anything; BLP = "biography of living person", so the article is a BLP, not sentences within it). An all-caps sentence calling the article's subject a "stalker bitch" is obviously nothing other than juvenile attack vandalism and not something that can be sourced. postdlf (talk) 14:56, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RE: What's next for me

Hey there, nice new username ;). I am just letting you know that I am interested in helping you in administrative-related areas (CSD, AIV) when I am done with my break (which will end on June 16, a week from now). Perhaps I should create an "adoption high school" ;). Anyways I promise that I will help you with CSD and AIV as soon as my break is over. Regards, →Bmusician 12:30, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I matched my usernames with my signature. I know it caused some confusion here and there. So I changed it to simplify things. The Determinator p t c 18:44, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Determinator, I've been back from my break for a few days already, can we get started with CSD? ;) →Bmusician 15:19, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm ready! Thanks again for willing to help me. I have been CSDing (it's a verb now, lol..) for a while. If you can you can glance at that and give me some feedback on the ones where I've gone wrong. Or, we can do it your way, since you are more experienced. Either way I await further instructions. The Determinator p t c 15:27, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy declined and converted to BLPPROD" Doug March

Johnathan Coleman

Hi, I wanted to let you know I challenged your CSD nomination at Johnathan Coleman. In regards to criteria A7, playing Div 1 football is a clear claim of importance sufficient to survive criteria A7. As for the G11, its a closer question, but I think there is sufficient encyclopedic content that the article would not need to be fundamentally rewritten to fix the problem, and is thus not eligible under criteria G11. The subject may well fail the notability guidelines, but that is a matter for a WP:PROD or WP:AFD nomination, which you may want to consider making. Monty845 19:27, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate that. The Determinator p t c 19:30, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association

Just to let you know that I removed the Speedy from the above article. The author had added some reasonable claims of importance to the article. I am not a regular at New Pages, but I am pretty sure you should allow a bit more time before tagging an article wit ha Speedy. Two minutes is on the short side and in some cases the author is about to add more information. AIRcorn (talk) 03:08, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RfA

I hope you are not discouraged by the outcome of your current request for adminship. Inexperience is something that can be overcome over time.

My suggestion is that you explore more thoroughly the other aspects of the deletion process, such as WP:PROD and WP:AFD. Go through some topics of interest, add or improve on some text, or even write new articles (which helps better your understanding at NPP). - Mailer Diablo 16:38, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No I'm not discouraged at all. Wiki is fun. I do appreciate all the comments, guidance and help. The Determinator p t c 16:40, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your RFA

Hi, The Determinator. I've closed your RFA as unsuccessful per WP:SNOW and more specifically, WP:NOTNOW. It is clear that it will not succeed, and because of that, I don't think there is any virtue to be had in whacking you over the head with the same comments every day for the next week. Well done for running though, and I hope you found the feedback useful. Remember there's always Wikipedia:Editor review if you'd like further feedback from the community. WilliamH (talk) 20:13, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not succesfull RFA

Hi, Sorry for the bed news you have got.but as far as my knowledge is concerned regarding your user contribution, I suggest that you should try again in 6 months.By the way, See the references on Mayank_bhardwaj, It made me laughing till i rolled on floor.Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 20:23, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did see "refs" before tagging. I got some good feedback from there, although most of it was just generic. I think it was worth it. I will retry in a few months. The Determinator p t c 20:26, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since the RfA is closed, I will say it here. You looked at the wrong section of my criteria page.—cyberpower ChatOnline 21:52, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrolling

Hi. Thank you for patrolling new pages. Please familiarise yourself with our criteria for speedy deletion before controlling new articles or content - in particular you may wish to learn the difference between WP:A7 and attack pages - this means reading what you tag. If you need any help understanding our policies, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Happy patrolling! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:36, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Post-RfA work

Thanks for continuing to create new articles despite your recent unsuccessful RfA. It's a great thing whenever an admin hopeful is unfortunately shot down but continues to contribute just as s/he did before (coughHistory2007cough). I am sorry for opposing you at your RfA, and I would like to thank you for your kind and polite response. That really went a long way for me, you have no idea. Next time you decide you want to submit an RfA, please let me know and I would be more than happy to offer a Strong support or even nominate you if you wish. You probably won't remember me telling you this, but I will. If I don't appear to have any edits for a while, shoot me an e-mail; it won't bother me a bit. Again, thanks for being such a great editor!

Thank you. I do this to contribute something to the world not to gain something back for me. I will contact you in about 1500 to 2000 edits asking you to nominate me. Thanks again. The Determinator p t c 17:09, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Determinator! There are 2 reasons why your talk page is still on my watchlist, 1) You are an amazing adoptee at BM's school and 2) Because of your ability which will lead you in becoming a great admin one day.
Anyhow, adding 2000-5000 odd edits to your count is going to make zero difference in your RFA. Your RfA2 would also fail unless you show good understanding of wiki policies like rectifying your CSD problem; having 95% + success ratio, and showing good judgement skills (Afd, ANI, etc.) But the biggest factor is experience. At least wait for 6 months before starting rfa2 and in your case (more problematic one) I advise to wait for good (avoiding conflicts, not doing CSDs hastily, not misbehaving and always assuming good faith) 10 months. I don't wish to discourage you, but this is where the standards of our community are right now (too high). 10-12 month gap with good edits is enough to get the confidence of the community. You are a good asset to us but just needs little brush up to be ready for admin rights. At the end of the day, it is totally your call that when will you go for RfA, but give a thought to my words and look at unsuccessful and successful RfAs this year and compare it to previous year's (2006-2009) RfAs (look at edits and contributions of editors this year and previous years, also see the number of successful rfas). I m sure that you are smart enough to get the difference and understand my point. Best wishes, →TSU tp* 06:39, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for believing in me, and for your feedback. I totally agree with you. A great basketball player once said something similar. (See below). I have a question for you, Is there tool that I can use to quickly calculate my CSD percentage? Which, I think it's above 90%, but I'm not sure. I will take part in more discussions like AfD to illustrate my understanding of the policies. The Determinator p t c 10:42, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 "You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong,
 then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way.
 Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.”
 ~Micheal Jordan
Precisely, your CSD success ratio is 88.73% right now per your CSD log. There is no tool for calculating it and I did it manually (total number of Success full CSDs*100/total number of Attempted CSDs). And one more thing, if you remove an entry from your log which was declined, then it looks as if you want to hide that mistake, so please avoid it in future.
I agree with what MJ said. I personally have 1 motto for my self in real life which was stated by a baseball player (don't know that he was talking about his game or other but it inspires me); Keep Swinging
I now see that your CSD tagging is vastly improved as most of them are turning out to be right lately. Keep this tempo up and I may come up with your RfA2 in 6-9 months :) Thanks and Keep Swinging! →TSU tp* 14:11, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Dr. Aamir Liaquat Hussain.pdf

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Dr. Aamir Liaquat Hussain.pdf. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:38, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion

This represents an invalid speedy deletion nomination. The criteria for speedy deletion are fairly clearly spelled out: if an article does not fit one of the categories, it is not a candidate for speedy deletion. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:23, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Aalim Online for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Aalim Online is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aalim Online until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. BenTels (talk) 13:18, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aalim online

Hi there,

Listen, a thought occurred to me. You seem to be trying to write an article about this controversy that lead to the death of the doctor rather than about the show. So why don't you rename the article and actually write about this controversy? You probably have enough sources to get a good ways with that... -- BenTels (talk) 06:49, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Actually, I'm been trying to write about the show. The controversy is just one thing that happened on the show. Worst case scenario I'll have an admin userfy the article so I can take my time to finish it. In the mean time, we can redirect Aalim Online to Aamir Liaquat Hussain -The Determinator p t c 12:06, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

November 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 23:36, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sock puppetry

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/The Determinator. Thank you.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 02:50, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

The Determinator (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

user:thunderite is a long time colleague, and we've known one another since undergrad and he is my current chief resident. We talk frequently and sometimes about stuff that we have run into on Wikipedia. Sometime I ask his opinion on discussions. I have NEVER forced him or asked him to support me in any of the discussions. I have almost 3000 edits including several articles created. More than 100 CSDs and numberous AfDs. I have barnstars for fighting vandals. I ask you to please see my tract records, assume good faith and unblock me. If you want I will ask user:thunderite to stop contributing to discussions that I participate in. I am willing to do whatever that is needed. Thank you for you consideration.

Decline reason:

After running a checkuser, and looking at the behavioural evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/The Determinator, I don't consider your explanation to be entirely convincing. PhilKnight (talk) 05:07, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Thanks for uploading File:Annals of Pharmacotherapy(cover).gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 23:30, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
