Arbitration clerks

edit

Thank you for your note on my talkpage regarding becoming an arbitration committee clerk trainee. I appreciate your having noticed my becoming a Clerk the other day and expressing your interest. Just so you know, trainees and helpers work for the Arbitration Committee as a whole, so it is not set up so that I would have my own personal trainee or subordinate (it's a nice idea though :) although I would never call anyone on Wikipedia a subordinate to anyone else, we're all equals here). In my case, I started out by helping out with routine maintenance on the arbitration pages and things moved on from there. That is probably how future trainees will be chosen also. However, you might want to express your interest to User:Thatcher131, who is the most experienced clerk right now and has been coordinating selection. Thanks again for your interest and good luck!

Rwandan Genocide

edit

Hi Diez, please reconsider the Rwandan Genocide nomination to a good article. It's uncited, tagged, POV and incorrect in many parts of the text (fails on almost all criteria). It is rated as Start-class and there is no way it can pass Good article.--Pethr 02:23, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

You're right, that is a bloody horrible article. I usually nominate article for GA status after they have been the subject of an ACID. I really didn't look at this one, though. Diez2 12:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hi Diez, I thought so. Next time you might want to give it a brief look so someone doesn't have to review it. Thank you.--Pethr 22:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your GA nomination of Rwandan Genocide

edit

The article Rwandan Genocide you nominated as a good article has failed  , see Talk:Rwandan Genocide for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a review.

Speedy keep of George W. Bush GAR

edit

Do you know who "speed kept" the George W. Bush GAR? The GAR was closed due to withdrawal of the GAR nomination but if GAR follows similar procedures to AFD (which is from where we have inherited the "speedy keep" nomenclature) then the decision was out of process: one can not withdraw a nomination after others have contested it. I don't object to the "Keep" result but I do object to speedily keeping to the manner in which the discussion was closed. --ElKevbo 15:37, 6 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'd appreciate a response to my latest question and concerns on my Talk page as I honestly believe you acted out of process and I don't want that to become a continuing pattern. --ElKevbo 21:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletions

edit

This is a friendly reminder to be sure, when proposing an article for deletion using {{prod}} to include a reason in the tag, by adding {{prod|[REASON]}}. Also, please make sure the reason you give is explicit about your concern regarding the article. Thanks! --Tikiwont 16:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Prod Problem with you

edit

Stop it with prodding chemical compunds! I am going through each and every article and removing the prod tag. Once the prod tag is removed you have to use Afd procedure. --Parker007 21:23, 7 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

importance/notability

edit

Regarding the difference between the importance and the notability tag. I think it is important that there is a tag, that tells that an article does not state its importance. That is what the template {{importance}} is used for (apparently amongst other uses). One can choose to rewrite the importance tag so that it is saying the same as the {{notability}}, but then there would be no tag that states that an article is notable, but does not state its importance. If it would not be there I would create such a tag, and put that onto these articles. Now the thing with articles that don't state importance is, that they may indeed not be important. Hence, it would be good to categorise them into a category for articles that need to be checked for notability. And that is exactly what is done at this moment with the importance-tag. The problem is, that the incorporation of articles into that category does result in them being AfD-d or prodded. Now, as such I do not have a problem with that, when that would be done by people who would be able to assess the notability of a subject.

Result is now, that we are discussing in the wikiproject chemistry to retag all these chemicals with a tag for the chemistry wikiproject, creating our own notability-category, and they may stay there, because we have also other things to do. Having them in the general notability category would have the result that more people would see the article needs to be improved, and hence the chances are bigger that someone actually takes the effort to add an importance to them (a bit of pressure onto the wikiproject every now and then from the wikiproject notability might also help gaining that interest).

I brought this up at the wikiproject Notability (and you did answer to that once), but there seems no discussion going on there; though I think it is the right place to find consensus on this 'problem'.

I hope this is a bit clearer. I am sorry if I sound (a bit) cynical or frustrated, but this comes up every so many weeks. I know there is a backlog, but IMHO, deleting them all is a drastic and wrong solution to the problem, since many of these subjects are notable (also see earlier AfD's of articles in this category). What IMHO needs to be done is that these articles get improved (and others and I have done some of that already), but well, there is so much work to be done, and we are all just volunteers. --Dirk Beetstra T C 22:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Panoptical. Due to the high number of inactive users at WP:USRD, we are asking that you verify that you are still an active contributor of the project. To do so, please add an asterisk (*) after your name on Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Newsletter/List. Users without one by the next issue in 2 weeks will be removed off the list and off the respective road projects as well. If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page. Thanks.

Your name is still listed at Requests for an admin coach. If you are no longer looking for a coach, or you currently have one, please remove yourself from that list.

The instructions for getting or receiving a coach have changed. It's now a self-help process: just look for a coach from the list of coaches, and contact one. See the instructions on Wikipedia:Admin coaching. Good luck.

Boris Stomakhin mediation case

edit

Dear Diez. I have asked 3 more issues from arbitrators. Most importantly I expect you to rule on reliability of the two posted citations and their consistence with BLP policy. You must rule unambbiguously on these matters, because Biophys already disagrees with your decision. I would be very grateful to you if you would react quickly. Our case is already protracted for three months. Vlad fedorov 07:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I noticed that you removed {{backlog}} from Wikipedia:Articles for creation. I'm not quite sure why you did this, as AfC has one of the worst backlogs on Wikipedia.

Some serious work needs to be done before this backlog is cleared. Thanks. -- kenb215 talk 05:27, 3 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

GA on hold image revert

edit

Hey, sorry I reverted it without explanation. I used the auto undo function thing, and I forgot to explain myself.

I reverted it for two reasons. One is that the image you put in was a jpg instead of an svg, which in plain terms meant that it was not a really good quality image; it was sort of grainy. Second, it had a white background, which was unnecessary, and kind of detracting. If you really feel like it's a better image, by all means I would suggest that you take it to the talk page, but I think that other users may feel the same way as I do.

Sorry again for my lack of explanation! Jaredtalk20:32, 4 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Template:WAMnom

edit

A tag has been placed on Template:WAMnom, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

G6 uncontroversial housekeeping. Proposal has been rejected so no need to keep the template around.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on [[Talk:Template:WAMnom|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pascal.Tesson 21:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 00:32, 25 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Becoming the "ACID Director"

edit

Is there a way in which you can take over in rolling the ACID collaboration? I did it for about 9 weeks, but then moved on. I'm now seeing that no one else has stepped up to the plate... yet. So, please reply on my talk page. Thank you! Diez2 12:28, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sure. What exactly does the director do? — Pious7 11:41, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

July 2007 GAC backlog elimination drive

edit

A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

You have received this message either due to your membership with WikiProject: Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. --Nehrams2020 23:14, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Just what you want: another checkuser request ...

edit

Sorry to bother you; what I have isn't actually a checkuser request (I've already filed this one), but instead a request to expedite the request. In fact, there's been absolutely no action at all taken on this; according to someone who I asked for help on this (Antandrus), the request may have some problems with it that are preventing its being acted upon. (Their comments are here.)

Could you check this request and tell me if it's in the right place, properly formatted, etc.? And if I could bother you just a little more, would you be willing to help shepherd it through if it isn't? Obviously, I don't know all the ins and outs of this procedure. There's still a need for this checkuser to be done, I believe, based on this editor's continuing behavior. I don't want to throw the "sockpuppet" epithet around carelessly without actually knowing whether or not they're using those things.

Thanks a million! +ILike2BeAnonymous 19:06, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Seconded. This issue should be settled sooner rather than later so we can proceed to other things. - Richfife 19:52, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
