Personal note

Hi, زرشک, besides the note I left in the discussion you started at AN, I'd like to add a personal note. I feel for your frustrations over at fa:wp. Dealing with folks here that edit out of a radical political POV is frustrating enough, but to have the small number of admins vs the problem seems quite overwhelming. Please don't give up, your efforts are appreciated. I don't know Farsi, so there isn't much practical that I can do, but if you need an admin here at en:wp to just bounce ideas off of, feel free to drop in on my talk page.

I most definitely will. Thanks for the message!--زرشک (talk) 15:06, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

I think there are two questions that can answer your initial question and any problem you may meet as a sysop :

Let's name the issue : this

Q1 : Does this help for the improvement of the encyclopaedia ?

Q2 : Does this disturb the functionning of the encyclopaedia ?

If Q1 = Y, then keep this

If Q1 = N and Q2 = N, then you should not take care of this

If Q1 = N and Q2 = Y, then you should get rid of this.

Hope this help.

Good way of looking at it indeed. Thanks.--Zereshk (talk) 19:40, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Request

Hi, as a request from another admin who works in this topic area, would you be willing, just as a courtesy, to set up a signature here that uses Latin characters? You don't need to create an entirely new username (I assume that you're using unified login?), but having a Latin-character name in your signature would make communication a bit easier here, per WP:SIG#NL. Thanks, --Elonka 17:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I will certaily do so from now on :-).--Zereshk (talk) 19:39, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Excellent, thank you! BTW, you are welcome to keep the original spelling in your signature as well if you'd like. A signature of "زرشک / Zereshk" would probably work well. But up to you, whatever you think looks tidy.  :) --Elonka 22:43, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Ashbel Smith Building

Thank you for creating the article on the Ashbel Smith building at UTMB. I was surprised that one did not already exist on such a historic building. Anyhow, thanks again. nsaum75^¡שיחת! 02:29, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Glad I could help. I took some good photos of it. I'll upload to Commons.--Zereshk (talk) 02:39, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John O. Merrill

A tag has been placed on John O. Merrill 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 a person or group of people, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

I posted the following at User talk:FT2#Skidmore, Owings and Merrill

You deleted an article which should be restored:

• 02:51, 22 May 2010 FT2 (talk | contribs) deleted "John O. Merrill" ‎ (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content): Essentially "Was a partner in a big firm". Would need more reason to sustain an article.)

  Your decision-making in this instance was flawed. The fact that Britannica considers this figure sufficiently important to include in its online encyclopedia for children is sufficient argument for the article to be restored -- see here.

  Please do what you can to rectify this unfortunate mistake.

  When restored, you may trust that I will add material sufficient to clarify its legitimate status as an article.

  Thank you. --Tenmei (talk) 21:17, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

John Ogden Merrill (b St Paul, Minnesota, 10 August 1896— d Chicago, Illinois, 13 June 1975) was an structural engineer and founding partner of the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM).<:ref name="wilson">Museum of Modern Art (MOMA): SOM citing Richard Guy Wilson (2009). Grove Art Online, Oxford University Press.</ref>

Merrill's notability

Merrill's contribution to the firm was seminal. He is credited with establishing the multi-disciplinary nature of the firm.

SOM defined a new architectural approach of team work and total or comprehensive design, since the firm undertook everything: design, engineering, landscaping, urban planning and interiors. Also an innovation, especially given the quality of work and the prominence of the firm, was that none of the founding partners actually designed.

The unique character of SOM’s work was influenced by the engineers who became partners in the practice.<:ref name="wilson"/>

When the deleted material is restored, perhaps you will join me in improving the article so that it rises to the requisite "stub" or "start" level? I look forward to working with you. --Tenmei (talk) 21:25, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Please email me. I'd rather not give personal info out here any more.--Zereshk (talk) 18:26, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you so much for answering me, but, how can I get your email? Zarin87 (talk) 06:28, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi again, I just confirmed an email for myself, so you can send me an email this way. Thank you again, Zarin87 (talk) 12:40, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Excuse me, I'm kind of new around Wikipedia, and I couldn't put the email link on my page, I would be so glad if you could guide me to how to email you or how to put up the link so you can send me an email.

Thank you. Zarin87 (talk) 12:47, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
