Please be aware of wp:RSBLP as well as wp:RS and wp:V. Is Neroskeptic qualified to make this assessment, is it considered a blog? WP:BLPSPS?

May I recommend using {{cite web}} to format a citation? It is best to include more information about a source. Cite web will allow entry of a number of parameters including its source. Edit this to see this citation. Please add this to your citation on the Dutton article? template:reflist talk Cheers Adakiko (talk) 23:29, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

University of Tasmania

I noticed that you added Bill Mollison to University of Tasmania#Notable people. If you want Mollison's entry there, you probably should make his bio brief and add his image with the others in the section. It looks rather strange and out-of-place at this moment. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 10:59, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Maybe check out wp:MOS? Adakiko (talk) 11:00, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

As opposed to the Indian guy's bio which is in the same spot, roughly the same size, that no one has any problem with? I tried to add a photo as per the others, but my account does not yet have the ability to post images, as it is still young. Perhaps someone else can do it, if they care about adding notable people from the uni with actual significant intellectual accomplishments that have changed the world in a remarkable way (the kind of people universities used to be about: geniuses, not politicians and movie stars).

I agree with your sentiments on who is notable. Personally, I'd dump most of the "musicians", politicians, nobility, and poor little rich kids. Make having any significant discoveries or development make one notable.
You should have been able to edit the article and add the image from Bill Mollison which I did. I edited the caption to keep it down to four lines. Please feel free to change; but please keep it brief. If you have ownership of an image you wish to release or know of a free image, you should be able to upload it to commons: by now. You will need to be logged in. Wikimedia is a stickler about copyright. I think they have bots that do online image searches. That existing image of Mollison probably could use a contrast and brightness tweak.
Please remember to sign your post with four tildes "~~~~" It's best to format your talk with indents to (attempt to) keep threads intact. Help:Talk pages Cheers! Adakiko (talk) 04:30, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. Definitely agree. I'll try the Commons thing: totally new to Wiki and the whole thing is a bit unintuitive, but I'm getting the hang of it.

Edit: I think Mary is okay, being Princess of Denmark is rather notable, whether you like nobility/royalty or not. Personally, I will get around to replacing the politicians slowly. Flanagan can stay. I would like to see the institution represented better. How Mollison was not even listed is certainly astounding, given his influence worldwide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lute Currie (talk • contribs) 02:53, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

People, grads, that can be placed there instead (more so a note for myself): Andrew Inglis Clark (did study there); Vivian Smith (highly rated Australian classical poet); Michael C. Breadmore (influential analytical chemist/researcher); William Noel Benson (highly important geologist). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lute Currie (talk • contribs) 02:53, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia's wp:notability (people) guideline is not the way I nor you would likely write it. An anti-intellectual atmosphere. I one used some great software from a company which was ruined by his eminence Bill Gates who hired away all their good people by offering exorbitant salaries and options. When political storm clouds were brewing over Microsoft, they did this "Freedom to Innovate" ad blitz. I suspect lots of politician's war chests were topped off. Gate, BTW, is getting a divorce. I hope Melania gets half.

BTW: if you place four tildes "~~~~" at the end of your comment, they will be translated into a signature and time-stamp. The template:unsigned is for signing other's talk as I did to yours above. I had to enclose the four tildes comment with the markup wp:NOWIKI to keep it from being translated. See WP:SIGN for lots of (mostly useless) info on signatures. You might want to setup your WP:EMAIL. Good in case you loose your password or your account gets hacked. You can also set things up to send you an email for activity on your wp:WATCHLIST Cheers Adakiko (talk) 08:10, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

• Please leave an edit summary? Adding what you've changed and your reasoning for doing so helps others find changes using the wp:page history as well as understanding why you have changed it. Help:Edit summary & WP:EPTALK Cheers Adakiko (talk) 08:34, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Emil Kirkegaard (2nd nomination). Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Do not say that a statement about GNG in an AFD is a lie. The purpose of the AFD is to determine whether GNG applies. Stating that an editor is lying is a personal attack. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:46, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Connection to Emil Kirkegaard?

Hi Lute Currie, do you have a conflict of interest or personal connection to Emil Kirkegaard, or have you had another Wikipedia account previously? You have been creating Emil Kirkegaard's article also on the German Wikipedia [1] and Spanish Wikipedia and now you are uploading his photograph [2] (as your own work), so presumably you took that photograph in person? You might want to read WP:CONFLICT. Psychologist Guy (talk) 12:28, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

No, I don't. I have never owned another Wiki account either; this is my first -- I made it to make pages about historical figures etc. But you really want me to be Emil, right? I created the other pages because the reaction to his English page is quite aggravating as it is obviously politically motivated, given that pages about far less notable people are obviously fine by virtue of uninterrupted existence. (I really hate social charades.) I'm not stupid so I won't pretend otherwise. My autism will not permit me to pretend otherwise. --Lute Currie (talk) 17:57, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Copyright problems

You have uploaded photographs of Carl Julius Haidvogel [3] and Eduard Ritter von Josch [4] but they are definitely not "your own work". Please read [5] Psychologist Guy (talk) 13:22, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

The photo of Haidvogel was extracted by me and altered from blue fltered to black-and-white from an old book. --Lute Currie (talk) 17:47, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Sorry but it is a copyright violation. If you are going to upload photographs to WikiCommons you have to list the author and source not state they are your own works. When you upload a photograph you have to document where the photograph was originally published and what year. This is very important. Unless you can provide this evidence the photographs you uploaded will likely be deleted. You don't have to upload to WikiCommons though, you can upload to Wikipedia directly (see the upload file on the left). If you add an image for visual identification to an infobox then you should be able to use those images. You should probably wait until they are deleted on WikiCommons before attempting a re-upload.

Speedy deletion of Eduard Ritter von Josch

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

The page Eduard Ritter von Josch has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://www.academia.edu/48861670/Eduard_Ritter_von_Josch_Biography. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review Randykitty (talk) 21:06, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Those are my words. I am the author and publisher of that document. Look at the name: Lute Currie. --Lute Currie (talk) 21:37, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

• And I am Albert Einstein. There's no way of knowing whether your claim is correct. You will have to go through WP:OTRS to donate copyright to WP. However, the second author also needs to do this, as you apparently share authorship. --Randykitty (talk) 21:48, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
