POV tags someone else added were removed...

Hi Rjd0060,

I was hoping that you would add back in at least the POV tags added by Xiutwel to the September 11, 2001 Attacks page. If you check the last edit on there, you'll see that it undid two edits which I made. If you feel that they were justified, I'd appreciate revert. If not, can you help me understand why they aren't? Thanks, Dscotese (talk) 01:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:NewWJBKlogo.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:NewWJBKlogo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear Rjd0060/Archive 5! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been many more new things going on at WP:HOCKEY; this newsletter will be sent every two weeks/months.


If you wish to not receive the newsletter, please remove your name from the newsletter mailing list. Thanks!

New recognized content
 

By The Pancake of Heaven!
There has been numerous new recognized content, so much that it's too time-consuming to sift through the "trophy cases" on WP:HOCKEY. Some interesting achievements:

Task forces

We are working to create a new task force within the WikiProject to deal with topics related to the Pittsburgh Penguins. It hasn't been created yet; but it aims to expand articles based on former and current Pittsburgh Penguins players and articles. Good luck!

Featured Topic Drive

By Maxim

The original featured topic drive, initiated by Scorpion0422, has concluded succesfully. National Hockey League awards is now a featured topic, with 24 articles in total. Of them, 20 are featured lists, one is a featured article, and the other three are trophy articles that were too short to become featured lists. Eight users signed up to help out, shown here. The next Featured Topic hasn't been decided upon, and the ideas and organization for it fell apart. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share them at WT:HOCKEY.

Notes
  • More editors are needed to help out with the newsletter. The newsletter creator doesn't have an infinite nor perfect supply of ideas, and thus he might omit some interesting news.
  • Portal:Ice hockey is being considered for featured status.
  • Should Chris Pronger have been suspended for more than eight games for stomping on Ryan Kesler? Vote here!
  • Help Patrik Stefan -- one of the greatest NHL draft busts -- become a GA status article.

Question?

Hi, long time no talk :) I have a question, I thought sandboxes or user sub-pages were for the sole purpose of helping/bettering a Wikipedia article? Remember User:ScottAHudson well I noticed he has a lot of subpages related to various reality shows. The Big Brother test pages he has looks like copies/replicas of Big Brother 3 (U.S.), Big Brother 4 (U.S.), Big Brother 7 (U.S.) and Big Brother 9 (U.S.) with the voting history table he suggested during Big Brother 8 (U.S.) but a consensus was reached to continue using the current one? Does these test pages violate Wikipedia rules. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 00:11, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah okay, thanks I just wasn't sure if it was acceptable or not. Thanks. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 01:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

RE: Couple things

I have an alternate logo taken from recent episodes on my computer that doesn't have the "'Till Death Do You Part" subtitle. Do you want me to upload it seperate or just have it replace the current image? I think that is good idea since other projects do it. What do you think about a starting a newsletter? I have been thinking about doing it since other projects have one. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 21:03, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Update: I have went through all the articles relating to Big Brother and I have tagged all images. I think a newsletter is necessary after seeing some of the other countries articles. I mean the US, UK, Australia, Philippines, and somewhat Africa looks presentable. For the rest eck! Most of the articles have duplicate information from the fan site worldofbigbrother.com and a lot of the tables don't follow the guidelines for a nominations/voting history table. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 22:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Descent 2 - semi protection of D2X-XL chapter rejected

The D2X-XL chapter of the Descent 2 article has been a target for plain vandalism or malevolent changes of its content for over a year. The issue has just started to get heated today, when a few people involved with the Descent community had decided to take this to a new level and mark the chapter as advertisement, restoring the mark whenever I remove it. You may want to take a look at that chapter. If you decide it's an advertisement, I will accept the decision. The people currently at work are however acting out of a deep personal resentment against me, and the Wikipedia entry is only a vehicle for their destructivity. FYI: Here is a link to a thread of the biggest English speaking Descent community forum, where the issue is discussed: http://www.descentbb.net/viewforum.php?f=37

Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology

I see Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology was deleted, but I was more puzzled to find Hersfold (talk · contribs) removing all incoming links. Hersfold says that he was acting on your request. To be sure, there is little doubt that FASEB is notable, and I'm therefore not convinced that all the links need to be removed. Could you clarify the situation? JFW | T@lk 00:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree, this was a really unnecessary action. Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology is perfectly valid and important article (also indicated by the number of wikilinks). You should not remove redlinks, and redirects simply because an article was deleted due to copyvio issues. The article was recreated immediately with non-copyvio content. Please take your time to check each case individually! Also, please try to remember all deleted redirects and reinstate them. Thanks, Сасусlе 02:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
(cross posted) Sorry to the 3 of you for the confusion. Yes, I deleted the article as a complete copyright violation. The links that were removed by Hersfold, was after I had asked him to do it, as my tool wasn't functioning properly. In this specific case, the links did not have to be removed and it may have in fact been best to leave them, to allow for recreation of the article without copyright violations. My apologies for this error, and thanks for bringing it to my attention. - Rjd0060 (talk) 03:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Tighina

I notice you have blocked the page Bender, Moldova from being moved by the request of Mikkalai. That user has abused his powers in previously protecting the page.

Refer to the Wikipedia protection policy at Wikipedia:Protection_policy#Move_protection:

"administrators should avoid favoring one name over another, and protection should not be considered an endorsement of the current name."

However Mikkalai has stated that: "This is the official name of the city, according to the evidence presented. Period" in order to justify his actions.

There was previously a proposal to move the page, however it ended with no consensus. This definitely doesn't favour either name. I would be interested to hear your reasons for further protecting the page at his request. Rapido (talk) 10:42, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

What do you suggest we do to address User:Calton's tagging?

Calton continues, I randomly pulled user out of Calton's many spam warning contributions over the past day and got this one: User_talk:Billseidle - the user has never been blocked, let alone indef blocked. Should I start a separate WP:AN thread to address this issue? What are your recommendations? Calton never responded to your request for an explanation.--Doug.(talk contribs) 23:12, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Have you ever left a note on his talk page, asking him why he does it? . . . (posted at User talk:Doug)
Most certainly, you will recall this recent post by me at Wikipedia:AN#Talk_pages_for_indef_users (which we agreed was slightly off topic) :
Well, no offense Calton, but I know you commonly tag userpages as spam and then add {{temporary userpage}} to their talk pages. Several admins have addressed this issue with you before, including me, but we apparently have a clear difference of opinion over the proper usage of {{temporary userpage}}. (See User_talk:Calton#Temporary_userpage.3F, User_talk:Calton#Template:temporary_userpage, User_talk:Calton#Tagging_user_pages_of_unblocked_users, User_talk:Calton#Template:temporary_userpage_2). If I notice these I review them. Some of these are in fact indef blocked and don't have an indef block tag, so the {{temporary userpage}} tag is valid. Others have never been blocked, let alone indef blocked. If you look at CAT:TEMP you'll probably find that many, if not most, usertalkpages are due to {{temporary userpage}} on the talk page - though I'm not saying they're all there due to Calton - I have no idea. Alternatively, [4] will give a good starting place if you go through the ones tagged as spam in particular (Calton puts the template in the edit summary so this is pretty easy). --Doug.(talk contribs) 23:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
There are four notices to Calton there, comprising the concerns of five separate admins, the last one is mine. When Calton replies, it sounds like "Don't complain to me, I just tag them, complain to the admins who are deleting" - that's a paraphrase not a quote. Of course, the complaining parties are the admins. In at least one case, the third one above, Calton appears to convince the admin that he doesn't understand policy and should be deleting these. There is at least one other notice on his page regarding inappropriate use of CSD against user talk pages too. Calton's attitude seems to be that these pages don't belong here so I won't stop tagging them. I'm a new admin and don't really know the best way to handle this, several very experienced admins seem to have given up already. Problem is, from that AN thread we have evidence that some admins have been just cleaning out the queue and maybe not always noticing whether the user was actually indef blocked (of all the tags that I'm aware of that feed CAT:TEMP, {{temporary userpage}} is the only one that is not clearly an indef blocked tag) --Doug.(talk contribs) 23:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
So, any thoughts on this?--Doug.(talk contribs) 15:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I copy my reply here as well:
First of all, it is she not he. Secondly, I am taking my time to read all Wikipedia policies before I make substantive edits. It's a pity he does not since he manages to annoy. It is deplorable that he comes running to WP:ANI. As for the comment about him being a Page Blanking Vandal, that is a true statement of fact. He has been blocked twice from Wikipedia for being a page blanking vandal. That all came out in his humilliating attempt to become a Wikipedia Admin. Read the RfA to see how united people were against his application. It was not canvassing to inform User:Maddyfan about this [[10]]. Note the comments made by User:hbdragon88 about Vikrant Phadkay's outbursts of temper and acts of vandalism that led him twice to being blocked from Wikipedia. (he changed his screen name to Ultraviolet scissor flame).
Maddyfan at that point was in dispute with him and had warned him about being blocked again. Look here User talk:Ultraviolet scissor flame/Archive 3#Madonna.
I warned Vikrant Phadkay not to leave rude messages on my Talk Page again as did user:emerson 7, look here User talk:Ultraviolet scissor flame/Archive 4#i have been warned?.
He was the one who first left an attack message on my page. As for "blanking", he removed my message from his talk page and it was only afterwards that I removed his message from mine.
Look at his Talk Page User talk:Ultraviolet scissor flame/Archive 4 to see how many warnings he has received from other editors and how many photos, he uploaded, have been deleted from Wikipedia because of copyright violations.
He needs to learn that if he is nice to others then others will be nice to him and if he is rude to others then others will be rude to him. That is how life is.

  • Can you explain something small? Your comment on the Incidents page "Actually, the image isn't being used, as evident from the empty "File links" section on the Image description page. " Confuses me. as the image has always been linked to the article and vice versa. I didn't fix the link and it doesn't appear that you did, so how was it ever empty? EraserGirl (talk) 04:00, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Well then you are in error, the image has been displayed ON the page since it was added, not just linked but actually appeared in the infobox. I can see if the image size was incorrect there might be a problem but it didn't prevent the image from actually being seen and yes the file link was actually THERE when I checked all the info on the image page after the bot tagged it. Perhaps you are confused. No matter it is all fixed now. Thanks again for fixing the tag. EraserGirl (talk) 12:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Why did you fully protect the page? I can understand a semi-protect, but a full is absurd. Every other article about the Playboy "playmates" that I have seen here on Wikipedia includes the disputed information. While I disagree with the tactics employed by a certain editor, I agree with his basic point. Playboy is a reliable source for articles about the "playmates," unless someone can make a darn good argument as to why it's not, in my opinion.

I guess I'm not asking you to unprotect the page. I am asking you to restore the information that was being disputed because, in the end, it is accurate and it is standard information for articles of this nature. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 00:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Roald als title page

Hi Ryan, I was searching the Wikipedia talk:How to edit a page for information about a slight problem that I needed to fix, but couldn't find an answer. I saw your sig in the history section and decided to ask an admin directly. I created an article page recently but failed to capitalize the title name. (I confess that I am an idiot, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a fairly common problem.) Is it possible to correct this with a simple page edit -- or will I need to recreate an entirely new page under the correctly capitalized name and then submit the older version for deletion?

Hi -- I wonder if you might reconsider the deletion of Mudhouse Mansion. It's mentioned on several WP articles, and I sunk a fair amount of work into it, as it's a good example for folkloristics. It gets 1410 google hits, and really does (IMHOP) pass the notability test. Somehow, I failed to put it on my watchlist, or I'd have offered input long before the deletion notice expired.

Tibet during the Ming Dynasty

Point taken on my repeated reversions in this article today. I am stopping. But can we get an administrator to look at this a little more closely? If you look at the quality of the article, and you look at the quality of User:LaGrandefr's edits in both the main article and the talk page, you'll see that User:LaGrandefr's edits are tantamount to vandalism. Several users have tried repeatedly to reason with him and advise him, but he generally seems not even to understand what is going on. It looks to me like some mixture of ill will and incompetence on User:LaGrandefr's part. As such, I reverted his edits today without comment, as is commonly done to unconstructive edits.

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 04:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hindemburg Melão Jr.

I saw that you deleted this article because of an expired prod. I basically supported the prod but I am a little surprised by what happened. I thought that I saw in my watchlist earlier today that some IP editor removed the prod (and, if I remember correctly the edit summary, removed the notability tag as well) and that then User:Tosqueira restored the notability tag. As I said, I am personally in favor of deleting the article but would like to make sure that it was done correctly in the procedural sense. I could be wrong and maybe that IP editor did not actually remove the prod but only the notability tag. I did not actually look at the article when this was happening and only saw the edit summaries in my watchlist. In any event, could you please double-check?

Raquel Evita Saraswati (Seidel)

Why has her former name, marriage, and religious heritage been deleted? These are all common, mundane, non-libelous elements of a biography. How do they violate the BLP guidelines?

If this persists, I will bring it up with Jimbo. If the wikipedia bureaucrats are skewing information, this is a serious matter indeed.

You have NOT stated how the information deleted violates the BLP guidelines. Why has her former name, marriage, and religious heritage been deleted? Virtually all wikipedia biographies contain this information; Carlos Memen for example. Plus, all of this information is public. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.150.34.208 (talk) 01:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Because you cannot add unconfirmed information to a biography article. But the information IS confirmed. The marriage is a matter of public record. Her other name has been confirmed -- by herself on Wikipedia no less, and in other places -- as being her other name. Her religious affiliation during college is noted in public records (scholarship announcements in an offline newspaper) as well. So, please explain to me what information is 'unconfirmed'-- or let the information stand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.150.34.208 (talk) 10:03, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

No offense, but... (Yeah, I know what that means—I'm going to tear you apart but don't be offended :P )

Seriously, I own a PS3 and I know many people who own PS3s and Xbox 360s. I can assure you, PlayStation 3 should probably remain semi-protected until the PS4 comes out (i.e. at least until 2011, probably longer.)

Basically what I am saying is, don't unprotect PlayStation 3. There is no way it will not be vandalized until the PS4 comes out. Even then, I'm not so sure. J.delanoygabsadds 18:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Here is the section you seemed to miss "Anonymous edits that blank all or part of a biography of a living person should be evaluated carefully.

How does it not violate this "Wikipedia also contains biographies of people who, while notable enough for an entry, are not generally well known. In such cases, editors should exercise restraint and include only material relevant to their notability, while omitting information that is irrelevant to the subject's notability."
