Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "((DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual))" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
OR
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "((DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual))" with "((MultiLicensePD))". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

If that's a bit too much shorthand:
On 20 Feb you put a picture of Luigi on the Luigi Waites page.
In case you hadn't noticed, on 13 June Howcheng marked it as "image for deletion".
i.e. "The image above is proposed for deletion. See "images and media for deletion" to help reach a consensus on what to do."
Please visit the Luigi Waites and image-for-deletion pages and see if you can satisfy Howcheng's requirements, and thus stop the deletion process.

G'day - I'm dropping this note in to you because earlier today I responded to a request to file a request for arbitration. My examination of events led me to believe that there may be some use in the arbcom examining this matter, and perchance resolving an issue or two, and you have been named as an 'Involved Party'. As such, your thoughts would be most welcome at the Request page.

As for being more, I never wrote I am worth more so please give me the quote where I did so or stop suggesting I did so. Besides, I didn't give you a warning on this Wikipedia, you did. And that warning was for supposed vandalism. Well, the same admin who blocked you for the period of 1 month also reverted your last edit in 4 of the 5 articles you were constantly re-inserting a self-reference to your book (the 5th article with your last self reference was already reverted by another user):
Thanks for letting me know. By the time I read the message, he had already been blocked, and is blocked for 1 month. - Rjd0060 (talk) 14:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
OK, I did have a thorough second look, as I do not like the situation that is there with this user at all
First, our conflict of interest guideline (guideline, not policy) states:
COI editing is strongly discouraged.
Strongly discouraged, not forbidden.
User:86.83.155.44 seems to be D. A. Borgdorff. And indeed in this series of edits a sentence and a reference to apparently their own work is introduced. That was on September 7, 2008.
Now I am not knowledgeable enough in this subject to see if the reference is actually covering the sentence added, and if it is an appropriate reference. I do think it should be formatted in a different way, but that is a different question.
On July 29, 2008, more than 10 months and approx 400 edits later, you remove the reference, without reason, comment or discussion, leaving the sentence unreferenced. I am sorry, but that to me is not a correct way of handling this situation.
When the edit gets reinstated by 86.83.155.44, it gets removed by User:Erik Baas, again without reason, comment or discussion. When 86.83.155.44 rereverts that, you come to me.
Somewhere I saw a list of blocks for this user on different wikipedia. All for not discussing. But I do also see that in many of these cases I do see that this user is problematic, and I do think that a bit more social skill would help. But I am, as I said above, absolutely not happy that this, it looks to me like wikistalking, and although it is maybe self-promoting, your unexplained removal of a reference without explanation is here explainable as vandalism.
I would like to hear your side of this, and I may invite User:Erik Baas to this discussion as well. In all cases, I would like to invite all three of you to discuss the edits. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:14, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
When I removed dAb's self reference in the article Tram it wasn't clear to me the line was a reference to some statement in that article because these are presented in a different way. Also when you reverted his last edit in that article this was not obvious to you I guess. So now I see 3 options; 1. The corresponding text should be removed as well; 2. The information doesn't need a reference; 3. The reference is needed because the information cannot be found in other books or online. In the last case that means almost automatically it is original research which is not allowed (see WP:NOR). So that last option doesn't seem to be a logic choice. Another point of mentioning his books in articles is, can a reader easily get access to such a book (Are they still for sale? Are they available at libraries world wide? Is there only a Dutch version?). - Robotje (talk) 15:45, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
I know, and I do see that. However, I would have expected a bit more explanation instead of removal without comment. I don't know the book, but I do see the situation. For me, as an outsider, I see a reference, which may very well be OK. OK, he published it himself, but say that I would have added the reference? If I would add the data, and add a reference to my own work, where the work is in a peer-reviewed journal, then I am in 'violation' of the conflict of interest guideline (though it does not forbid me to do that), but not of WP:NOR.
The question is not if the book is still for sale. The only thing that needs to be true is that the book actually exists, and that there are, whereever, still copies available. That means that the information is verifyable (OK, we will have problem verifying it .. but still ..). Your answer, and the removal, does show me that the removal was not fully researched, and that you assumed that it was added by him (quite right, other editors would format the reference different), and not by someone else. I understand that there have been situations with this user in the past, and I don't know what happened then, but that is not a reason to take out all edits by that user, there will be parts that are OK, even in a whole set of 'bad' edits.
The problem is that I see here a 'reference' being removed which was there for (on Tram) for more than 10 months and for about 400 edits (by a lot of editors) .. without question, on the other article it is in a list with a lot of references, and still this one is picked out to be removed (again after more than 10 months).
What I would like to see is a wider discussion with an appropriate wikiproject, and to see some discussion on the reference, and its appropriateness. WP:NOR would then apply when the source is not reliable, but it seems to me very strange that the book is unreliable (except if it does not exist) as a source for "Since 1981 onwards, nearly 150 articulated LRV-trams of the last kind are e.g. to be found in The Hague Netherlands." .. there will be other sources stating the same, and I don't see how this is possibly an interpretation or a self generated theory. The only violation would be the COI violation. We have had that before, and reverts of clear coi-additions which were in a questionably helpful way have been discussed on a high level here, even these reverts are very controversial.
I hope the IP got the warning that he is not to touch that reference (even if it gets removed), but instead ask for help somewhere else, and to engage in discussion. --Dirk Beetstra T C 16:22, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Luckily I do read/speak Dutch, so no problem there. As this site is also not a reviewed site (it is a personal website, with possibilities of typos etc. And maybe less reliable than a book), I would suggest, add them both. Hey .. this reference makes the book actually a more reliable source .. they say the same. --Dirk Beetstra T C 16:58, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
By the way, at the end of the edit where you started this topic you wrote ".. I would like to invite all three of you to discuss the edits .." so let's not draw any conclusions before the others have added their point of view. At what page did you think of having that discussion anyway? - Robotje (talk) 04:15, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
In the case of the reference of his book in the article Tram is maybe less obvious but as mentioned before, only in the English Wikipedia he so far added his books in at least 8 different articles. It still is not clear to me why in a general article about trams mentioning the about 150 trams in The Hague is important. Were those the first trams of that type world wide? What makes those 147 trams so special to insert that line in that section of the article? I guess that is something we better discuss on the talk page of that article. And dAb can then also better explain why he first states the tram-book is ".. written primarely by mr.Dr. Ploeger .." and later ".. I'm the writer and mr.dr. Ploeger co-author only as editor in collaboration." - Robotje (talk) 05:03, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
As the situation still progresses, I have opened a ANI thread: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Dutch_administrators.2C_bureaucrats_and_editors_handling_of_User:86.83.155.44. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
This got mentioned this on his talkpage (after his last block here). There it was off topic and a non-argument, but I want to remark it to you seperately. I noticed that you mentioned DABs blocks on the Dutch wikipedia on a talkpage (and I think I saw that more often, don't know where and by who). I don't think that that is necessery, it did not have anything to do with the discussion in progress (which was running off topic and into an edit war anyway; we all know that DAB has a tendency to do that and is the reason for the block again). I therefor ask you to not mention those things (or use them in an argument); guidelines and policies are different here (I actually get the feeling that the english conflict of interest guideline is less strong than the Dutch, should give the Dutch one a read ..), and blocks on other wikis are therefore not an argument here. --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:32, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
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) 18:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Whiteguru (talk) 08:24, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
I can see the your perspective here - there were three sources listed when the tag was placed on the article. The problem is that there's is so little information about those sources that they were impossible (or at least very difficult) to identify.
About the notability question - assuming the assertion is true that they were elected to public office at a national level, then NPOL is satisfied. So, the only problem jumping out is the lack of information on the citation templates.
Until you sort the issue raised, the tag stays. You can remove the tag yourself, it says so with the Page Curation message. In doing so you leave yourself open to other editors placing tags. Like life, everything is a choice.
Now, about this pinging. At Wikipedia, we are all volunteers, Go read WP:VOLUNTEER and learn that it's frowned upon to repeatedly demand that someone else do something. --Whiteguru (talk) 11:37, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
