King Edward Park Entry
editThank you for your feedback. I appreciate your point of view and yet I can't help wondering why you have deleted cited material I added while you are "telling me off" for removing a quote. I am referring to the fact that the majority of the Councillors in our Borough are against Thames water's plans and that two Cabinet Members are going to present a motion at the next meeting. You see, the difference is that the quote I removed was taken out of context and twisted to suit Thames Water's case (are you really sure you don't work for them?! only kidding). The quote you removed is hard fact: the motion is going in. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trumankemp (talk • contribs) 10:51, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- Oops, my bad. I meant to reinsert the deleted reference into the current article; I must have reverted to an earlier version by mistake. I did at least re-word the context of the Council reference in a way that I hope is a better reflection of the official position at that time. - Fayenatic (talk) 14:04, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – List of valkyrie names in Norse mythology
In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose which warriors will win or die in battle. The valkyries bring their chosen who have died bravely in battle to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin, where the deceased warriors become einherjar. There, when the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens, and sometimes connected to swans.

The word simply means 'old woman' in modern Scottish Gaelic, and has been applied to numerous mythological figures in Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man. (More...) |

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
editHello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
DYK for 2011 United Kingdom budget
editOn 27 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article 2011 United Kingdom budget, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that bookmaker Ladbrokes paid out on bets that former UK Chancellor, Kenneth Clarke, would nod off during the 2011 budget speech? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Block message:

- Blocking administrator: ProcseeBot (talk • blocks)
Accept reason: Per below (and also response from another editor) I've unblocked. The proxy doesn't appear to be open anymore, maybe just a misconfigured machine on the network. Syrthiss (talk) 13:37, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
My IP address at work is apparently 95.131.110.104. This belongs (WHOIS) to MessageLabs, a division of Symantec Corporation, which is used by many responsible organisations as an internet filtering service. A wholesale block on all editors using that service seems disproportionate to the vandalism of Royal icing committed by Special:Contributions/95.131.110.104, the last item for which a warning was left on the talk page. If other offences have been committed by registered users through this IP address, I cannot tell (as a non-admin), and no explanation has been recorded on User talk:95.131.110.104.
I'm not sure what is going on as the IP block is stated to be from 27 March to 27 May 2011, whereas I was able to edit from this location two days ago, during the period stated to be blocked.
Also, I am advised that MessageLabs is a proxy but not an open proxy. - Fayenatic (talk) 12:43, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- I'll ping one of the admins on the proxy project for you, and failing that could look into an IP block exemption for you. Usually proxy blocks aren't based on any specific vandalism (so you wouldn't see any warnings) but longstanding policy on not allowing edits from open proxies. Syrthiss (talk) 13:15, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Likewise, even watchlisting and keeping an eye out for upset editors removing my (full footnoted) notations about their possible Shudra status (an unpopular topic) would be appreciated. Thanks!

Cited backcover blurb
editC/E from my talk page: "Hi, were you getting a little creative with this citation? - Fayenatic (talk) 09:24, 10 May 2011 (UTC)"
- My mistake there as a quick check of sources turned up this book but only an image of the cover; book blurbs (real word) predominately include an author note, and without the book in front of me, I assumed I had identified the same Tuttle, however, a further search corresponding to a Bill Tuttle who is a contemporary aviation consultant fits the profile of the author, and the last revision and reference source should suffice. Why am I such a prig about the original reference? The BreitB*rt sites are very suspect as sources of information as a number of historians and other reliable sources have taken the founder and people like editors like teabagger Queen D*na to task publicly as being shills for a rightwing effort to rewrite history. The sites are predominately blog sites although they do regurgitate other news sources but then comes the inevitable comment section dominated by absolute craziies. Just go onto the site once and scroll into the bottom comments section to get a feel for the conspiracy theorists that inhabit this low-life site. My major concern is to establish any precedence where BIG...... (anything) sites are accepted as credible, authoritative or verifiable sources of information, despite the one or two actually legitimate pieces of data that are found there. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 12:53, 10 May 2011 (UTC).
- Thanks, that explains it all nicely. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:02, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Ignorant & irresponsuble removal of vital evidence on Devasahayam Pillai page
editHello Fayanatic london,
It seems that you are getting played into the hands of certain religious fanatics who, deliberately bluff and come-out with blatant lies and remain fully biased beyond recovery, yet pretend with their hypocritical vows as they are still safe-guarding the neutrality standards of Wikipedia. Kindly go and study sincerely the Christian martyr's history, without any prejudice,if you are a Christian before attempting to poke your nose! No one on earth has the right to destroy the evidence and corrupt the truth! If you are truly claiming in your User page, then please go and do justice to your claims immediately! Otherwise, it 'd be assumed that, unlike your brain-washed Hindu fundamentalist friends, you too are Brutes? or Judas? Also inform your misguided friends that it is not a page to portray Hinduism or any Hindu personality or philosophy, but a page about a Christian martyr! Can't you see the biased irrelevant reference quote No:3? On which published work or book Mr.A.Sreedara Menon / M.G.S. Narayanan / P.Paeameswaran wrote about Devasahayam Pillai as given there? (that is referred as quoted by Balram Mishra who himself is not a neutral scholar but a member of Sangh Parivar activists' association in India). If you are a neutral contributor, why this question didn't come to your mind?
Please don't try to hide facts with your misinterpretations and misunderstandings as far as the life of Devasahayam Pillai is concerned! Even now I wonder why you do this silly vandalism intentionally or out of any compulsion to serve your master(s)! Correct the faulty edits at once please!
Either you write the truth or keep quiet, but please never write similar lies on Wikipedia pages, O.K.! By doing this at least you can remain a good human being instead of becoming a poisoning catalyst by misguiding the esteemed readers of Wikipedia!--Kumaripriya (talk) 16:41, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
- I replied at User talk:Kumaripriya#Martyr Devasahayam Pillai. As for that source, it was stated to be printed in The Pioneer (Indian newspaper) rather than a book; the bias is all carefully declared in the article; and the relevance really is obvious. I must say, I have had more appreciative comments in the past, e.g. this and this. - Fayenatic (talk) 17:40, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for your kind reply. But it is indeed unfortunate that contributors with little or no knowledge about Devasahayam Pillai are attempting edits. A good majority of them are either Hindu-elites who are suffering from Christophobia or active-members of Hindu-fundamentalist groups who have prejudice, hatred, cognitive bias, etc. against Devasahayam Pillai for obvious reasons. However, please note the following cold-facts regarding their quotes as evidence.
1. The Pioneer (Indian newspaper) is neither neutral nor impartial today, but simply a mouth-pice of Bharatiya Janata Party whose Rajya Sabha M.P. Dr. Chandan Mitra owns & edits it at present. So one can simply guess the quality of articles pulished in it being a pro-Hindu right-wing publication.
2. In Wikipedia Devasahayam Pillai article's reference note no:3 quote cleverly remains silent about when, where & in which writing M/s. A.Sreedara Menon, M.G.S. Narayanan & P.Parameswaran uttered their opinions about Devasahayam Pillai's martyrdom as given by Balram Mishra, who himself is a Hidutva-activist, in The Pioneer article.
Hence it's proven beyond doubt that these elites are hell-bent to prevent the beatification of Devasahayam Pillai and so indulging in these sorts of mud-slingings at will without reason or rhyme. Also the provisions of WP:NPOV, WP:POV pushing, etc. are getting abused rather than being used mischiveously. Already an innocent soul was sacrificed by our ancestors foolishly, at least let'us not commit the same blunder now!--Kumaripriya (talk) 07:51, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
- You can "simply guess" if you wish, but I look for evidence. I have added the facts about Mitra's ownership and political affiliation to the article on the paper, with a WP:RS citation. Nevertheless, as for the journalistic standards of The Pioneer, ITOPC rates it a great deal more highly than you do. Or are you going to "simply guess" next that the Indian Tour Operators Promotion Council is another Hindu extremist front?
- As for that citation in the article Devasahayam Pillai, it explicitly states "Cited at HinduWisdom.com", so the possible bias is sufficiently declared (just like the heading "Account of his life as given by Roman Catholic devotees"). IMHO you had no excuse for deleting it, and were blatantly abusing WP:NPOV yourself. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:28, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Kindly don't beat around the bush anymore. This is a page written about a Christian martyr. It has no place for character assassination, whatsoever. Also distortion and corruption of historical truths and facts can never be allowed in it. Kindly inform the concerned radicals to go for their promotional articles somewhere else, but not on Devasahayam Pillai page in Wikipedia. If you are a genuine, unbiased and neutral contributor, then please make necessary [citation needed] amendments to the quotes of A.Sreedhara Menon, M.G.S. Narayanan & P.Parameswaran additionally in the reference note number 03 on the Devasahayam Pillai page. Till then, please note that the article will only remain biased and inclined towards pro-Hindu groups instead of being a neutral one in Wikipedia.--Kumaripriya (talk) 16:52, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
- I try my best to WP:AGF, but you seem to be incapable of looking at this except from your own partisan point of view. For your info, I am a preacher myself, but I don't do it here.
- You come out with lots of strongly-worded allegations but you don't seem to listen. You say the Pioneer is a mouthpiece of the BJP; I wouldn't know, but ITOPC praises the quality of its journalism. If you can show me Indian broadsheet newspapers repeating your allegations, I will take them more seriously.
- The article states objectively what other people have said, alluding clearly to where it was reported, and disclosing any reasons to suspect bias. It's getting the balance about right, although on reflection I will reduce the content about the objections, bearing in mind WP:UNDUE. Thank you for helping me reach this conclusion. - Fayenatic (talk) 18:27, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Regarding the article cited as published in 'The Pioneer' now was initially quoted as having been published in 'The Organiser', a mouthpiece of R.S.S.(Kindly scrutinize view history to confirm it)! I also had my regards for the old "The Pioneer" newspaper, but not for the present 'converted' one! I am not a preacher, but I don't get carried away & jump into conclusions so fast since I am very much aware of media manipulations, religious indoctrination, distraction by misleading, distraction by scapegoat,etc. particularly in the Indian context. Man who sleeps can be woken up easily, but not the one who pretends sleeping. I just asked where others did say those quoted statements? As long as a satisfactory answer is not furnished, I will be simply helpless. Either you oppose the truth and support the propaganda to cover-up the blunder of the past Travancore-rulers or openly support the innocent victim Devasahayam Pillai. The choice is yours. By the way, You never clarified which denomination of Christianity you preach full-time in London? I hope definitely not the Catholic faith! I am sure that you don't believe in martyrdom and Sainthood of Catholic church either! --Kumaripriya (talk) 09:19, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- Please clarify: what is R.S.S., and what history are you recommending me to view? You ask me "don't beat around the bush" but then you leave me these vague and puzzling hints. Be clear, paste some links! Do you realise that when you are viewing history, you can copy the URL right then, and paste it into my talk page so that I could see exactly what you see? - Fayenatic (talk) 23:39, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
What is meant by R.S.S. now in India is nothing but the one and only organization called Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh which is supposed to be the main-force behind Hindu fundamentalism and atrocities against other religions (including Indian Christianity) within the country.Even Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Naturam Godse was its active member. Many books are already written about it. The very fact that it was banned several times in the past after Indian independence will make things clear about its true nature. Majority of the B.J.P. members, including its national president Nitin Gadkari, are basically appointed by the R.S.S. as part of its agenda. P.Parameswaran, mentioned in Devasahayam Pillai page, is also one of its such full-timers. I will definitely try to provide links wherever possible in future. Thanks for your kind advice and will also be incorporated later.--Kumaripriya (talk) 15:48, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not the place to indulge in RSS-bashing or propagating any political or religious ideology. The Pioneer is a reputed Indian newspaper. Of course, it does have its inclinations; there are even people who believe that even the Chennai newspaper The Hindu is slightly left-leaning. If you feel that allegations against Devasahayam Pillai are made largely by Hindu nationalists you ought to reword the statements in the article in such a way not remove them altogether. Your edits are tilting the balance of Devasahayam Pillai's article. This is not acceptable especially as there is so much criticism of him. And then most of the books you have provided as sources have been published by his devotees or Catholic organisations which patronize him. Now, this is highly improprt.-The EnforcerOffice of the secret service 14:53, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

editThank you for your considerations. However, I enjoy tagging more than typing articles. Typing articles, to me, is time-consuming, and even tagging citations is more time-consuming.

- Hmm, it's not to my own taste at all, and in my experience people move away from garish designs once they start contributing on article talk pages or other behind-the-scenes stuff. But if you do want to keep the border and the coloured background, I preferred your old one,
- so how about this: MikeBeckett Please do say 'Hi!'
- or this, based on the latest: I'm MikeBeckett If I can help, ask!
- These both include a link to your user page as well as the talk page. - Fayenatic (talk) 23:16, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- As most accessible colour scheme is black on yellow, which I am told is the easiest for the majority of the population to read, this is my rationale. Quite frankly I was going for accessible and friendly, in case this background brief helps...I think I personally err towards the former but it has too many characters to fit in the signature box...

Medical-themed films
editDoomsday (film) is not a medical-themed film, at least not based on the category page's definition. I assume you're wanting to categorize films that have infections, and I think that should be a different category. Perhaps "Films featuring infectious diseases"? Erik (talk | contribs) 17:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. I was thinking about something along those lines, but yours is better. I was taught that "infectious" only meant transmitted by air, but I see that it is defined to include contagious diseases; right, here I go! - Fayenatic (talk) 17:48, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Ray C. Hunt
editThanks for moving the Ray C Hunt page to Ray C. Hunt. Right after I created the page I saw that I screwed up the title. I had moved a page once before but it was many months ago and I was not in a mood to attempt it last night. I actually hoped some other editor would take pity on me and move it. Thanks again!
I have an intense interest in those who fought as guerrillas in the Philippines. I think I have most of the books written by many of the survivors. I have a few on my wish list to get though. I did almost all the work on Wendell Fertig, and I started the page and added a lot to the page on Jock McLaren which some Australians have also significantly contributed to. I also contributed to other pages on this group of people.
However, after a few run-ins with kids who say they know more than I about subjects that I have professional knowledge of (entomology, U.S. Marine Corps) and who revert my edits, I have pretty much opted out of doing any significant editing. Maybe after I retire in a year... Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 00:29, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, and you're welcome! If you feel some of your edits have been wrongly reverted, feel free to drop me a line with the specifics. So long as you're citing WP:reliable sources rather than personal knowledge, there shouldn't be a problem. - Fayenatic (talk) 12:56, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Millennium Mills
editHi I left a similar message on User talk:LoopZilla but since you have been making lots of contributions to the Millennium Mills article I think you may appreciate a similar note. I was very happy to discover last night that an article to Millennium Mills had been created. I have been gearing up to it for about one year now, writing and uploading photos to commons (see User:France3470/sandbox9) although haven't quite managed to get to it yet. I have been researching the site quite extensively for over a year and have been working on a userspace article which encompasses most of this research. I just thought I would let you know some of the things I'm planning; it would be great to collaborate and share our knowledge of the site. I also live in London. At the moment I have plans to move my userspace draft, after a bit more editing to Grain Milling at the Royal Victoria Dock or a title along those lines. I should be able to finally get around to this sometime in the coming weeks, I have simply been unable to find the time required before. This article will (hopefully) include detailed information about all five flour mills formally at the site and their history. At the moment my intentions are to try to bring it up to GA class over the summer. I have some additional information to add from a few more books I've recently bought and lots of editing of prose to do. But it's something I'm exciting to continue to develop. Since there is now an article on Millennium Mills, which I always thought could easily warrant it's own article, some of the information from this soon-to-be article can perhaps be merged there. Would love to hear your thoughts, France3470 (talk) 15:47, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, that looks like great work. You've clearly found a lot more WP:RS that we had. I recognise several of your sentences self-tagged as cn, from the best photo essay at urbex -- I was aware that it was not RS, but it seemed too good not to use! How about contacting the writer of that forum piece to ask about his sources? Meanwhile, do you mind if I use some of your material & sources straight away, as I'm planning to make a DYK nomination? - Fayenatic (talk) 17:06, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- Actually I would say that most of the information at the urbex forum, having read all of it many times, is at best false assumptions. Having done lots of research there is a ton of unreliable, incorrect statements out there. In actual fact, the Portcities website is incorrect in some of their fact as well. So I generally try to avoid almost all web sources. The ones self tagged are basically facts I know are true but cannot find reliable sources for. I think though some can actually be resolved with some of the material I am currently sitting on at home. I suppose this is the main reason it has taken so very long to write the article in the first place. I'm been tracking down books, old and new which are much more reliable but I haven't had the chance to add it all. I'm alright with you adding some of the information, although it might be faster if I add them and then you give it a check over. I'd be really up for a co-nom if that's alright with you and I actually have a bit of time for once. France3470 (talk) 17:21, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yes please! Co-nom would be fine. Also, I notice that you've identified the backdrop in File:DESTINATION1.jpg as CWS, although someone wrote in Royal Victoria Dock that it is Spillers (and I just linked that to Millennium Mills). Is it definitely CWS? - Fayenatic (talk) 17:31, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- Excellent. (very excited about this!) I'll start now, might take a while but I'm on it. Not sure about the image, I know that Millennium Mills was painted as used as the backdrop to Jarre's concert, but I know that the CWS was also involved. The photo looks to me more like Millennium Mills so perhaps I was wrong in my labeling. A while back when I was doing that section I saw a youtube video (this one I think [1]) about the setup for it, and I had printed out an extensive article about the production, although not sure where the link for that is at the moment. Might be worth giving the video a rewatch. Let's leave comments on the talk page. France3470 (talk) 17:44, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Re: Image for DYK - Millennium Mills
editI see no basis for swapping the current image in the set at Template:Did you know/Preparation area 2 with the image from your article. As noted at Wikipedia:Did you know/Additional rules#J6, "Not every submitted picture can be featured in the picture slot". This leaves two options:
- Leave things alone and let the set be moved to the queue in normal fashion
- Return the Millennium Mills hook back to Template talk:Did you know.
Before you jump at option 2, it should be noted that this option will not and can not guarantee the image will be used and with current timing the article is very likely to make its Main page appearance during a time period with lower normal viewership numbers than the one it will receive by staying in its current location. --Allen3 talk 14:04, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
DYK for Millennium Mills
editOn 24 June 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Millennium Mills, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Millennium Mills, a derelict icon of London's post-industrial docklands, is a favourite destination of thrill-seeking Urban Explorers? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Arabic languages
editI reverted all your changing of categories from Arabic languages to Arabic dialects. This is by no means a cut and dried affair since these varieties of Arabic are distinguished as languages by multiple sources. I am aware that Arabic sources tend to call them "dialects", but many sources call them languages and the majority of them have separate ISO 639-3 codes. Wikipedia has compromised the name of the article as Varieties of Arabic. I see no need whatsoever for two categories: Arabic Languages and Arabic Dialects. "Arabic Languages" is quite sufficient for the matter. --Taivo (talk) 23:58, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I had suggested the change at CFD on the parent category Arab, but obviously that didn't gain sufficient attention from linguists. You missed putting the parent back into Category:Dialects by language - I have done that now. I thought of the change in the first place to be consistent with the other sub-cats of that one. - Fayenatic (talk) 07:44, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Deleting the Page on Dr. Nabil Ayad
editHi there I am writing with regards to the above page which was was tagged for proposed deletion at 07:32, 21 June 2011 by your smart sense. I have already placed an undeletion request. Please see below and what is appropriate about it:
The deletion of the page on Dr. Nabil Ayad is quite surprising and I find it hasty and reckless because Dr. Ayad is a notable and distinguished personality of worldwide recognition and repute.
If you had just googled his name you probably would not have proceeded to delete the page.
Dr. Ayad is the founder head of the Diplomatic Academy of London which is world's top school of diplomacy and the only one of its kind. DAL has taught and trained generations of diplomats for over three decades and Dr. Ayad is the founder leader of the school. He has worked with Sir Peter Marshall and written a number of books on the subject. A detailed description of his achievement and contributions is available on the website of Global Diplomacy Academy. Please follow the links below for references:

http://culture-multicultures.blogspot.com/2010/11/interview-with-mr-nabil-ayad.html
Currently, he is Director, London Academy of Diplomacy, University of East Anglia, London and Professor of Diplomatic Studies, Nyenrode Business University , The Netherlands: http://www.uea.ac.uk/london/lad .
I hope you can restore the page with appropriate changes/additions/citations. Once it's back on the site, I'd add further details. I'll be looking forward to your quick response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarral 99 (talk • contribs) 21:40, 10 July 2011
- That article was tagged for proposed deletion at 07:32, 21 June 2011 (UTC) by Fayenatic london with the edit summary Propose deletion as insufficiently notable and the concern Notability not asserted, see WP:ACADEMIC. Per WP:PROD seven days passed during which time, if independent reliable sources existed per Wikipedia:Notability (academics) (there had been none since December 2009), other editors might have found and added them. That did not happen, so it was deleted a week later. You are free to consider Requests for undeletion. – Athaenara ✉ 22:33, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- My apologies, I think failed to read the article thoroughly enough, and only took in that he was a professor at Westminster, which on its own would not be sufficiently notable; I failed to take in his role in the Diplomatic Academy of London. Thanks for getting it restored. - Fayenatic (talk) 22:22, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Fayenatic London, does the "Reference Improvement" tag at the head of the article need to remain as additional citations have been made available? Auditguy (talk) 11:20, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, because some sections (e.g. History) still have no citations. - Fayenatic (talk) 11:24, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, will keep an eye on it. In the meantime, I've cited the reference for the History section from the ICAEW library index of UK and Irish accountancy bodies. Auditguy (talk) 13:16, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, could you please have a look and see if the additional references/citations is okay. Thanks for your time! Auditguy (talk) 13:32, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Fayenatic London, noticed the copy edit you did on the IFA with regards the IFAC membership update. Many thanks! Cheers! Audit Guy (talk) 12:47, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Re: [Beta Group and Rajmohan Pillai]
editThank you for disclosing at Talk:Rajmohan Pillai that you "have been interacting with the Beta Group for the last 6 months". As you have continued to edit the article after being notified of Wikipedia's policy WP:Conflict of interest, please would you disclose the nature of your interactions with that Group? - Fayenatic (talk) 17:24, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
- I've been interacting with the group for the last 6 months with regards to business dealings from another company. I've interacted with Dr. Pillai and his team over the period and I strongly believe that with regards to the good work that he has done to the society, the point regarding the legal case is insignificant, harmful and incorrect in its stated form. The following are some of the arguments for deleting the section on the legal case and I'll provide Wikipedia citations towards the same effect within a few days:
- The conviction by the lower court has been stayed by high court on the same day, and till the time the high court doesn't take a hearing on the matter, there is no conviction neither are any fundamental rights of the individual taken away. (references would be given to this effect).
- There is a delay in settlement of legal cases in India (references would be given to this effect)
- For this one case against Pace Hitech, which is one of the 9 companies in the Beta Group, there are quite a few others that have been concluded and where Dr. Pillai won the court case against the Government.(I would provide you citations with regard to the case numbers). These could be added to the profile with citations and case numbers. However, this would make the profile look more biased to the legal aspects.
- All legal cases against a company would be appealed against the managing director or one appointed thereof. In this particular case, the case against Dr. Pillai is the fact that he "should" have been aware of the malpractice in one of his 9 companies - more sort of a moral responsibility. There is no physical evidence that is found to support the same, which you could read from the case details.
- Dr. Pillai over the period has created many jobs and given support to many entrepreneurs and I think it is unnecessary to give such importance to this case which is still not concluded, in Wikipedia.
- I would like to give you an argument slightly at the extreme level to try and prove my point. The revolutionary Indian freedom fighter, Bhagat Singh were in many articles referred to as a revolutionary "terrorist" [2] . However, Indians consider him a one of the most influential freedom fighters & martyr, and it would deeply hurt our sentiments to even accept such a point of view and Wiki has taken note of the fact and not included the same in the main page though certain references are added to this effect from good sources.
- Hence, I request you to invoke the 5th guiding principle of Wikipedia:Five pillars , to delete this section in the view of the above reasons. If required you could give a link and add this as part of the references, but not the main page.
- As you advised, I've created an article on New Age International University. There were certain errors I committed since I was new to Wikipedia and I apologize for the same. Further changes would be made once the discussions reach a conclusion in the discussion forum. Thank you.
- Thanks. I replied at Talk:Rajmohan Pillai - Fayenatic (talk) 06:05, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Sunlight Soap WW 1 Ad.jpg
editA tag has been placed on File:Sunlight Soap WW 1 Ad.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so 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 page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Yes,i read it,sorry i am a beginner,i will improve it soon i hope ..About classifying cemeteries by religion: - it is sort of important to do that,maybe not our time,but in the old days, religion had played an important role in life- as well as death. And since most of those (almost all) cemeteries i edit are historic ones, denominational background plays an important role in terms of genealogical research.

And if you're up for more, please take a look at this multipart nomination that no one else seems to feel like closing, probably because it mostly consists of an argument between Timeshifter and me.--Mike Selinker (talk) 23:32, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

- I put that on working as well. Think we're done here. Thanks again!--Mike Selinker (talk) 00:23, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

- All taken care of. Thanks for closing this! Also, I've suggested an adjustment to one of your speedy nominations based on this, the "plays and musicals" category. Adjust if you like.

- From your close, should I have merged Category:Works based on plays by William Shakespeare into Category:Adaptations of works by William Shakespeare? It's now the only "Works based on plays by..." category.--Mike Selinker (talk) 07:53, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- You did it right, but it's a good point: I did not consider upmerging that one. I thought it was right to keep a subcat of Category:Adaptations of works by William Shakespeare by play alongside the sibling Category:Adaptations of works by William Shakespeare by medium. For clarity, I would have liked to keep the end of the category name "by work" or "by play" but I could not think of a good one in that form. Considered on its own, the old Category:Adaptations of Shakespeare by play was perfectly clear, but I concluded that the long form "works by William Shakespeare" could not be avoided for consistency with others. Category:Adaptations of works by William Shakespeare by work/Category:Adaptations of works by William Shakespeare by play strike me as too long-winded, so I plumped for the nominated rename.
- At the time when I followed "Foo based on bar by...", I kept this "Works based on plays by..." because this did not seem OCAT, as it was not a lower level of category intersection than "Films based on works by...". However, on further reflection, upmerging would be a good outcome. Would it be cheating to change my closure again? I'd be happy to make a further nomination. – Fayenatic (talk) 13:41, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure you can change your closure as many times as you like. :^) I will upmerge as noted.--Mike Selinker (talk) 18:16, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
- Neat, thanks again. I finalised the closure. – Fayenatic (talk) 22:27, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Hosanna
editI am going to be bold and remove the entire Islam subsection as it sounds unreliable and unrelated to the article. I hope that is OK. --Farzaneh (talk) 14:06, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

- Yea, sorry for that. I saw the AfD a few days ago. I took almost a year of wikibreak (electromagnetism was not gonna understand itself =P), but I'm back! Anyway, thanks for saving the template .^^ --Neo139 (talk) 23:45, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
The information already existed in the article. Follow the existing link in the article for "National Theatre School in Berlin" in the "East Germany" section, which if you hover over it you will see it point to the academy. So according to his article, he was the director, hence the category. Hope that explains it. Aboutmovies (talk) 04:22, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Navy categories
editThe November CfDs are all closed except for these three Navy categories:
- Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2011_November_17#Ships_of_the_line
- Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2011_November_23#Category:United_States_Navy_schooners
- Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2011_November_24#More_United_States_Navy_categories
Feel up to closing them? If you decide to rename any or all of them, I will implement the close.--Mike Selinker (talk) 02:29, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
- Done. If I had participated in the discussions I would have supported the minority view that the short name was clearer, but the majority outcomes were unavoidable. – Fayenatic (talk) 08:36, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
- Nice to know. I often find myself in that spot. Out of curiosity, would you like to be an admin?--Mike Selinker (talk) 15:04, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
- My usual answer is that I'm having too much fun editing! I wouldn't want to get drawn away from contributing directly. The status quo works for me. Do you or others feel that editors like me ought to get round to adminship, especially if we close Xfds? – Fayenatic (talk) 15:51, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
- I kinda got dragged into it, and I haven't regretted saying yes. It gives you lots of tools. Totally up to you whether you want to pursue it.--Mike Selinker (talk) 17:31, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
