Hey, just to let you know that I've commented on the AfD debate for this. In summary, I think the article overdoes it a bit, but he might be notable. If you could give it another look that would be great. Quantpole (talk) 15:54, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

The fair-use one I removed because it should be deleted. There are a number of legit photos on flickr of mcqueen, and we just need to ask these photographers and get one to change the licensing. The others are clearly professional photos randomly posted to flickrstreams (low-res, and only pro photographers have the seats where they can get this angle). I haven't gotten around to nominating them for deletion, but since they're copyvios they shouldn't be in the article. Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:12, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't believe that all unsourced information is contentious; there are plenty of unsourced statements in BLPs that have not given rise to any contention. That is not the case for BLPs that are unsourced in their entirety, however: clearly those are contentious. Steve Smith (talk) 23:33, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your referencing work on the article Herbert Schildt. Much appreciated, -- Cirt (talk) 05:30, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
This is an interesting case. The use of WP:BLPDEL was bold, but the deletion was appropriate per WP:BLP, WP:NOTSCANDAL, WP:ATP, and WP:BIO. Schanze is known (rather than "notable") for his annoying ads, which led to public attention to otherwise trivial events.
WP:BIO states, "The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded."[1] Notable in the sense of being "famous", or "popular"—although not irrelevant—is secondary."
In my opinion, Schanze is not notable, only well-known in a limited geographical area because of poor journalistic standards there. --Ronz (talk) 16:10, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Ready for your review before going live. See User:GRuban/Dell Schanze, and please comment (if short, here, if extensive, on the "article" talk page). --GRuban (talk) 08:15, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
At a glance, I'd say absolutely not for the very reasons brought up before. No offense. You've obviously put a great deal of work into this. --Ronz (talk) 16:23, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
It's deleted. How about you pick one source that doesn't have the problems mentioned in this discussion? That's what I was looking for. I didn't find one, but I stopped looking when I saw that the first few independent references were exactly the type that were cause for concern previously. --Ronz (talk) 18:07, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
OK, let's go in the order I wrote it.
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dell_Schanze&oldid=369012282 The source there is VARBusiness, "a USA magazine covering Computer Applications... 20 years in print", which is being used to source business statistics, and the fact there was a dispute with the Better Business Bureau. For all this it seems to be a reliable source. Agree? --GRuban (talk) 19:22, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
To save time, I'll pretend that's good, though please do confirm. Next:
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dell_Schanze&direction=next&oldid=369012282 The source is "'Super Dell' files for mayor of Saratoga Springs", Donald W. Meyers, Salt Lake Tribune. From our article, "The Salt Lake Tribune is the largest-circulated daily newspaper in the U.S. city of Salt Lake City, Utah.... founded in 1871 ... circulation 128,000 daily ... [listed in the] 2007 Top 100 Daily Newspapers in the U.S. by Circulation ..." The words "tabloid", "rag", and "scandal-sheet" are conspicuous by their absence. When information was leaked to a tabloid, heads rolled. Good enough?
3. Same revision, third source is the State of Utah. A Wikipedia:primary source, but for sourcing a number, hopefully it'll do. Yes? --GRuban (talk) 19:38, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
I've gone ahead and endorsed the DRV, trying to make clear the problem we've been discussing. I appreciate the time you've spent discussing this with me. I wish the relevant policies and guidelines were more clear on these issues. --Ronz (talk) 17:11, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
I have tagged File:A_Mysterious_Presence;_Macrophotography_of_Plants.jpg as ((no rationale)), because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using ((non-free fair use in|article name)) or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 03:31, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm afraid I've deleted that article because the individual appears to be marginally notable at best and almost the entire article, while sourced, dealt with very negative aspects for which he isn't notable, thus I felt I was obliged to remove it per WP:BLP. If you want the source code, I can email it to you on the promise that you won;t repost it on here. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:03, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Nice work on the diplomat, and I agree that he seems notable. I still believe that the pages need to be temporarily deleted, to sort out the mess that has been left behind, but otherwise you are correct.

Hi G- I appreciated your support on my proposed changes to the Shimano page. However, I have been meeting with steep opposition, especially from user Slp1 who now has started a BLP entry saying there was unanimous consensus against my changes - which is clearly untrue, as you are my witness. Would you mind giving your two cents at WP:BLP/N#Eido_Tai_Shimano. I even made changes sense that I felt better improved the passage and added greater clarity, accuracy and readability.Tao2911 (talk) 22:54, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Thank you, for your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant. I happen to agree with you, the coverage received from WP:RS secondary sources is indeed both "national" and "regional", not simply "local", and have started a discussion of The New York Times being distinguished as a "regional" versus "local" source, at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#The_New_York_Times_a_.22local.22_source.3F.

Hey GRuban, another editor and I are trying to implement your suggestion from the RN board about having a line that mentions the Sonoran in the Okanagan and the dissenting views. This other editor has put up a proposed wording here Talk:Okanagan_Valley_(wine_region)#Desert_Issue_Compromise with Skookum offering up an alternative wording. If you're interested would you be willing to take a look at the proposed wording and offer your view? Though, if you're sick of this whole fiasco, I certainly understand. :) AgneCheese/Wine 06:04, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

No prob. I did try to look through the sources when I first found it, and tried looking for sources elsewhere too. It's not like a take any pleasure one way or another in deleting an article, and others find sources for it, that's fine by me. When I am informed good sources exist for it, I sometimes exhibit an almost addictive tendency to improve the article myself, as a kind of personal project. But thanks for the compliment. It was very nice of you. :-) Nightscream (talk) 20:06, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Hey, I got your message, and yes, there are multiple sources. I didn't follow the noticeboard and I'm sorry, I know you were at work trying to resolve the issue. Ok now, there are a lot of references saying she signed Owen Hart's contract: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/06/22/politics/main6607909.shtml http://www.journalinquirer.com/articles/2010/09/03/page_one/doc4c80f1564e99e965394771.txt http://www.ctmirror.org/sites/default/files/documents/Complaint.pdf
her congressional testimony is pretty good, because it asks her a lot of contract related questions. it could be better, because most of what she did was deflect questions about the company's drug policy http://blogs.courant.com/capitol_watch/Linda%20McMahon%27s%20congressional%20testimony.pdf

Gruban, Ihear you, however, the user in questions has never stated that's there name. Per WP:OUTING:
Posting another editor's personal information is harassment, unless that person voluntarily had posted his or her own information, or links to such information, on Wikipedia. Personal information includes legal name, date of birth, identification numbers, home or workplace address.....
You get the idea. If the user doesn't say there name, we can any assumnptions, even if we think it's obvious It's outing. @-Kosh► Talk to the Vorlons►Moon Base Alpha-@ 18:36, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Elizabeth Catlett.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as ((non-free fair use in|article name)) or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

Thanks for uploading File:Lane McCotter briefing Wolfowitz.jpg. 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. Skier Dude (talk) 03:56, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Much appreciated, thank you. Chrislintott (talk) 07:26, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:RWRPG.jpg. 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) 16:28, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
If you get a chance, could you take a look at Talk:Alpha Phi#What was actually said at RSN. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 18:15, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Welcome to the first edition of The Olive Branch. This will be a place to semi-regularly update editors active in dispute resolution (DR) about some of the most important issues, advances, and challenges in the area. You were delivered this update because you are active in DR, but if you would prefer not to receive any future mailing, just add your name to this page.

Until late 2003, Jimmy Wales was the arbiter in all major disputes. After the Mediation Committee and the Arbitration Committee were founded, Wales delegated his roles of dispute resolution to these bodies. In addition to these committees, the community has developed a number of informal processes of dispute resolution. At its peak, over 17 dispute resolution venues existed. Disputes were submitted in each venue in a different way. Due to the complexity of Wikipedia dispute resolution, members of the community were surveyed in April 2012 about their experiences with dispute resolution. In general, the community believes that dispute resolution is too hard to use and is divided among too many venues. Many respondents also reported their experience with dispute resolution had suffered due to a shortage of volunteers and backlogging, which may be due to the disparate nature of the process. An evaluation of dispute resolution forums was made in May this year, in which data on response and resolution time, as well as success rates, was collated. This data is here.
Leading off from the survey in April and the evaluation in May, several changes to dispute resolution noticeboard (DRN) were proposed. Rather than using a wikitext template to bring disputes to DRN, editors used a new javascript form. This form was simpler to use, but also standardised the format of submissions and applied a word limit so that DRN volunteers could more easily review disputes. A template to summarise, and a robot to maintain the noticeboard, were also created. As a result of these changes, volunteers responded to disputes in a third of the time, and resolved them 60% faster when compared to May. Successful resolution of disputes increased by 17%. Submissions were 25% shorter by word count.(see Dispute Resolution Noticeboard Statistics - August compared to May) Outside of DRN other simplification has taken place. The Mediation Cabal was closed in August, and Wikiquette assistance was closed in September. Nevertheless, around fifteen different forums still exist for the resolution of Wikipedia disputes.
Given the success of the past efforts at DR reform, the current RFC proposes we implement: 1) A submission gadget for every DR venue tailored to the unique needs of that forum.
2) A universal dispute resolution wizard, accessible from Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.
3) Additionally, we're seeking any ideas on how we can attract and retain more dispute resolution volunteers. |
Please share your thoughts at the RfC.

I noticed your username commenting at an Arbcom discussion regarding civility. An effort is underway that would likely benifit if your views were included. I hope you will append regards at: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Civility enforcement/Questionnaire Thank you for considering this request. My76Strat (talk) 10:02, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
We're talking about different articles. You're talking about the 9/11 article, I'm talking about the collapse of the World Trade Center. The one small positive contribution that my appeal to ArbCom resulted in was to have a "see also" link put into the collapse article [2]. But it remains true that Wikipedia does not want to be place where one can go to be actually informed about the content and status of the alternative theories about 9/11. (Many readers of the collapse article are seeking information to help them decide whether one or another conspiracy theory is right, or just partly right, about some particular fact. They now meet an article that pretends those theories, and a great many facts that the theories cite, sometimes entirely correctly, don't exist. So their questions remain unanswered and their quest continues, often needlessly.) It's an editorial line that has been determined by consensus. So long as it stands, I've got nothing to contribute. And I'm not allowed to contribute, anyway.--Thomas B (talk) 09:44, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Murder of Deanna Cremin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page WGBH (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:
You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:15, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the image, and it will be more informative to readers.
If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

Thanks for uploading File:Miss America, 1945 Bess Myerson Cover.jpg. 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.

Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site.

Hello. I've noticed your recent edit relating to this Act. The short title of this Act was given by the Statute Law Revision Act 1948. If this Act was cited as the Toleration Act 1689 in a legal document, that document would on the face of it be legally invalid. If the Act was in fact passed in 1689 that would on the face of it be irrelevant, because Parliament has on the face of it only decreed that this Act may be cited as "the Toleration Act 1688" and has not on the face of it authorised its citation by any other name, and what Parliament says in that respect is final ("parliamentary sovereignty"). Please bear in mind also that "short title" is a legal term of art, and the field "short title" in the infobox should certainly give the official one, and not a name that private persons have invented (no matter how much of an improvement it is on the real short title), because that is not a short title. Thank you. James500 (talk) 06:12, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Your comment to Lightbreather that she should drop the stick was appropriate. However, your suggestion that she and Scalhotrod collaborate on an article as a way of moving forward, while well-meaning, not only showed a lack of empathy for Lightbreather, but comes across as deeply dismissive of everything that she has said. Did you intend to be deeply dismissive of her concerns, or did you only mean to be telling her to move on? If you only meant to be telling her to move on, it would have been more appropriate to advise her to work on an article by herself. As it is, it came across as meaning that, in order to be an accepted member of the larger community, she has to acculturate herself to working with the "good old boys" whom she dislikes and has difficulty working with? If you did not mean that, then I suggest that you strike that part of your suggestion. As she reads it, I am sure that she will take that as meaning that, in order to be accepted as members of the community, female editors not only have to contribute to articles, but have to immerse themselves in a male-dominated culture that she sees as deeply offensive. Please consider striking that part of your comment. I think that you didn't understand how deeply hurtful it would be seen by her. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:21, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello, at one of the WP:ANI pages you commented and used male pronouns to describe me or subsequently used a comment like, 'Pretending to be something they're not'. I would like to note that I am a woman and referring to me by male pronouns by mistake, and fixing it later is perfectly fine, however given the context of the situation, I don't approve of it happening when I've made it clear several times that I am a woman. ArbCom especially has already set a precedent on this in the Manning case, where editors should respect other editor's gender identities, gender, backgrounds, and the like. I would like to be respected so I am going to ask that you edit your comment to use female pronouns. Thank you. Tutelary (talk) 15:08, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Regarding this, I didn't tell anyone to do anything in the thread that you linked. I merely suggested that it wasn't productive to continue at that time. Like everyone else there, I have no power to instruct people regarding what they do; unlike some, I chose not to hat and/or quickly archive it as means of keeping on top of things. I think hatting etc really is a last resort because it does give the impression of control/authority.
What you said in your reply to Smallbones is no big deal until someone raises it somewhere a few months down the line in evidence and the context is skewed because they do not follow your link. I can live with it now but, sorry, you've misunderstood. I've actually intervened on a few occasions to calm things down there and, IIRC, on that occasion it was intended primarily to get Eric to shut up because it was pretty obvious where things might have gone soon after. I hope this makes sense: I'm not the evil bigot etc that I'm sometimes made out to be, although you and everyone else are entitled to whatever opinions of me you think are appropriate. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 00:24, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
