Nathan McKnight -- Aelffin (talk) 16:06, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

sorry to pop up out of the blue like this, but i was wondering if i could just ask you a favor - the article on Naomi Klein is pretty regularly besieged by pov editors attempting to violate WP:undue by focusing disproportionately on the minority of criticisms of her recent book while failing to acknowledge the overwhelming majority of praise. whatever one's personal feelings on the book, it's pretty inarguable that it was well reviewed by most people, which wikipedia should naturally reflect. sorry to ask you, but i've been dealing with the same people for months, and it gets pretty boring reverting the same silliness over and over. i got into a thing like this over on the ralph nader page a few months ago with a user who was later found to be a sock puppet and blocked. i'll be posting this message on a few other user pages just in case you've gots your plate full or just plum don't wanna do it. thanks Marshmellowgoggles (talk) 22:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have just joined the Anarchist Task Force, and I have had some problems with publishing of my Anarchist International Wikipedia page, see my sandbox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Anna_Quist/Anarchist_International for the present version/proposal. This page needs improvements to reach Wiki-consensus, and this should be a somewhat collective project to avoid a "COI"-template. As I am new to editing here on Wikipedia I need help with the page, I hope for your cooperation with this improvement. As an introduction to this cooperation, feel free to read this note on my talk page:

Any contribution, matter of fact criticism, to give input and advice, or even contribute to new sections, will be helpful, and is much appreciated. Please join in the project...

Yo Nathan, I know you've put a lot of effort at Talk:Anarchism into the question of reliable sources and anarchism-related content. I'm trying to establish a guideline with the Anarchism task force about how to source anarchism articles. The rough draft of the guideline is here; we've covered most of the basics, except for how to treat mainstream sources. I remember you being vocal on this point; I wonder if you'd care to write that section of the guideline? In any case, any input or ideas you have on the project would be most appreciated. Solidarity, Skomorokh 14:16, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is not the reference itself that is in question, only the format. Take a look at the references for Playland (San Francisco). Thanks ttonyb1 (talk) 13:22, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That kind of formatting is excessively "codey". I prefer more transparent coding so as to avoid pushing new editors away from Wikipedia. Nathan McKnight -- Aelffin (talk) 13:25, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suit yourself, it is not really codey, but rather it follows the format suggested by The Chicago Manual of Style. ttonyb1 (talk) 13:35, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the result is consistent with the Chicago Manual, but the coding is messy by most journalistic standards. I'm a fan of WYSIWYG. Nathan McKnight -- Aelffin (talk) 13:39, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As you may already know, the AFD discussion resulted in the deletion of the article. It has been protected for one year. I am grateful for your thoughtful replies and civil attitude, and I encourage you to contribute to other election-related articles such as the 2008 election and 2012 election if you enjoy editing these types of articles. I know the article was not kept as you wished, but I hope you will not hold a grudge against those of us who voiced our opinion to delete the article. Hopefully, we will participate in other invigorating discussions in the future. Happy editing! Timmeh! 12:47, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yo, thanks for uploading File:Rat-flags.jpg; in case you're not aware, CC images with a "non-commercial use only" stipulation are (oddly) not considered free by Wikipedia standards (WP:NOTFREE). This particular image should be ok to use under fair use guidelines as a logo (I'll add the rationale in a minute), but you might run in to trouble in the future uploading similarly licenced shots of living people, for example.

Hi Aelffin. I've restored the redirect of Radler as it is the German term for Shandy. It is appropriate and acceptable to discuss the German culture regarding Biermischgetränke, of which Radler is one example, within the Shandy article, however the general approach on Wikipedia is not to create separate articles for each different language variation of a single topic. Radler / Shandy is a beer mixed with a carbonated soft drink - the actual beer, soft drink and proportions do vary, but the concept is the same.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 02:22, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Aelffin, if you still have the original email, perhaps you could forward it to permissions-en@wikipedia.org so that we can add a verifying OTRS ticket to the image? If the file moves to Commons this would probably avoid any other questions being raised. If there were other images that you uploaded relating to this copyright release the same ticket number could then be applied by an OTRS volunteer to all of them. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 16:51, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The contents of the email exchange are posted on the images' pages, along with Mr. Gunderson's address. As I've had to bug him about this issue several times, I hesitate to do so again. Feel free to take the initiative; I'm sure he'd be happy to clarify any copyright issues with you or any other Wikipedia representative. Nathan McKnight -- Aelffin (talk) 16:55, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, when uploading an album cover, one is not given the option of choosing public domain. Thus, this issue will persist until Wikipedia upload procedures are ammended. Nathan McKnight -- Aelffin (talk) 16:58, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you forward a previous email to permissions-en@wikipedia.org then there would be no need to bug Mr Gunderson for a repeated statement. At the moment there is no easy way of verifying the text pasted on the image page and an OTRS ticket (based on verifying the email file original headers) would permanently resolve that. Fæ (talk) 17:05, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great. Since you seem to understand the process better than I, feel free to take the initiative. Nathan McKnight -- Aelffin (talk) 17:14, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As an OTRS volunteer I do understand the process. I'll keep the page on my watchlist and if it gets moved to Commons I shall mark it as a possibly unfree file in order to ensure appropriate action one way or other (Commons tends to require higher standards of copyright verification than Wikipedia). As I do not have an original email and OTRS volunteers are too busy to speculatively write to potential copyright holders this seems the simplest course of action. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 17:20, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fae, it's funny that you're too busy to write a quick email but not too busy to harrass editors who are trying to build Wikipedia rather than tear it apart. Whatever floats your boat. *shrug* Nathan McKnight -- Aelffin (talk) 17:28, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Look, I'm not trying to be overly prickly, but I feel like I've put a reasonable amount of effort into properly indicating the license information of these images, and if after two or three exchanges, I'm still unable to grasp the process then either I'm a complete moron, or the process is too opaque to be useful. Either way, I doubt I'm the only one who finds this "delete first, ask questions later" approach to be obnoxious, pedantic, and lazy. Nathan McKnight -- Aelffin (talk) 17:42, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Gunderphonic.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:06, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:ECC promo bw 1.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

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add ((OTRS pending)) to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 09:12, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your responses will help online communication researchers like me to better understand the collaborations, challenges, and purposeful work of Wikipedia editors like you. In addition, at the end of the survey you will have the opportunity to express your interest in a follow-up online interview with the researcher.

This research project has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Research Committee as well as the Office for Protection of Human Subjects at the University of Oregon. For a detailed description of the project, please visit its Meta page. This survey is voluntary, and your confidentiality will be protected. You will have the choice of using your Wikipedia User Name during the research or creating a unique pseudonym. You may skip any question you choose, and you may withdraw at any time. By completing the survey, you are providing consent to participate in the research.

If you have any questions about the study, please contact me via my Talk Page (UOJComm) or via email. My faculty advisor is Dr. Ryan Light. If you have any questions regarding your rights as a research participant, please contact the Office for Protection of Human Subjects at the University of Oregon.

Thank you very much.

A tag has been placed on Mario Masic requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the notability of the subject, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Dmol (talk) 00:48, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mario Masic 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 good 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. Pianotech ^{Talk to me!}/_Contribs 00:08, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article The Moveable Museum has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is a service provided by the AMNH, and is not overly significant in its own right. This info could be (and to an extent is) included in AMNH's article under "educational outreach."

This article contains too much detail for what is essentially a non-notable, canceled program of a larger, notable institution.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ViniTheHat (talk) 15:27, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But, I guess you can discuss it at the AfD. ViniTheHat (talk) 14:18, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is a minor offering compared to many of the permanent exhibits in the AMNH, which do not have their own articles on Wikipedia, let alone a mention on AMNH's wiki article. It is a service of the Museum's education department, not in any way a major part of the greater museum's collections or research. Simply, it's not it's own entity.

The wiki-link to "Gottesman Center for Science Teaching and Learning" which just redirects to the AMNH article, which does not even have a section on its gottesman center, something so improbably looked up at all, makes this look like a bit of a vanity page created by someone in the museum's education department.

The majority of the sources for this article are either published by the museum, or are regarding specific events, visits by the moveable to communities in local papers, or municipal education dept literature also describing specific events. I can not find any articles about the MM in a de facto NYC news source, say, the Times. ViniTheHat (talk) 14:12, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The 18th edition of Ethnologue just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request.

A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old.

Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim).

Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article.

Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the ((sigfig)) template. (First parameter in this template is for the data, second is for the number of figures to round it off to.)

Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway.

If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old.

The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of.

Jump in at the WP:LANG talk page if you have any comments or concerns. Thanks for any help you can give!

A tag has been placed on Ohio Valley Filk Fest requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Adding the the hangon tag merely lists it for speedier deletion. What you need to do is fix the article by expansion, adding content that will use the references, and writing the references out in full. Try to use as wide a variety of source s as possible. I've added an "underconstruction" tag, that should give you a few days. DGG ( talk ) 02:09, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is in need of archiving. According to Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines; "Large talk pages become difficult to read, strain the limits of older browsers, and load slowly over slow internet connections. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 KB or has multiple resolved or stale discussions." - this talk page is 114.2 KB. See Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a bot. If you have any questions, place a ((help me)) notice on your talk page, or go to the help desk. Thank you.--McGeddon (talk) 19:21, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:00, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Aelffin,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from German to English Wikipedia?

This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original German article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including German , using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from German. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:

1. Disarmament of the German Jews
2. Dismas Hataš

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the German article, and assess them "Pass" or "Fail" (the ((Pass)) and ((Fail)) templates may be useful here). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then assessing it, that's even better, but it isn't required.) Also please note that we are assessing accuracy not completeness, so if the English article is much shorter that is okay, as long as whatever has been translated so far is factually accurate.

If you can help, please ((ping)) me here to let me know. You can add your pass/fails above, right next to each link, or you may indicate your results below. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 06:30, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
