BLP opening sentences

Hi. I don't know why an editor who's racked up over 39,000 edits on Wikipedia since 2007 is not aware of this, but it is standard practice across biographical articles on Wikipedia to mention in the opening sentence what the subject is known for, and by using the words "known" or even "best known." For actors, directors and other entertainment professionals, it is commonplace to simply list the most prominent works that they have been a part of, which is assumed by things like box office gross, awards won, ratings, etc. In addition, narrative or creative works such as films, TV shows, books, etc., function as their own primary sources for their content (cast and credits; plot), per WP:FILMPLOT/WP:TVPLOT. We do not need an inline citation for this, any more than we need one for the date on which Christmas falls, since a subject's notability is implicitly understood or assumed by virtue of the prominence of the works they've been a part of. The only aspect of this practice where they may sometimes come conflict is over which works should be listed, or in which order or prominence. Do you intend to go across the 600,000 or so biographical articles on Wikipedia to remove the words "known" from all of their Lead sentences? Nightscream (talk) 04:00, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

If an actor appeared in a movie, and the movie function as a primary source for that fact, then that's the same thing as saying he's known to have appeared in that movie. There's no difference between the two. That an actor's appearance in a film is what he/she is known of is obvious. (See Wikipedia:You don't need to cite that the sky is blue).
Btw, I neglected to properly link format the phrase "date on which Christmas falls" in my message above. I've now linked it as originally intended. I don't know if the discussion linked therein will change you mind, but Jimbo's comments therein about what needs to be cited and what doesn't bears upon my position here, similar to the "sky is blue" link above.
If you still disagree, we can start a consensus discussion on this matter with other editors well-versed in WP:V and WP:NOR. If they agree with your position, then I'll alter my writing convention accordingly. Let me know how you wish to proceed. Happy Holidays. :-) Nightscream (talk) 17:18, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
There is no difference between those statements. The notion that McKellen is known for his performance in that production would indeed by verifiable by his appearance in it, so long as that production is among the most prominent in his career by way of box office grosses, reviews, awards won, caliber of his costars, etc. Similarly, what Hutchison is best known for is easily assumed by virtue of which his roles. The aforementioned roles he was in are easily his most prominent, so he is obviously best known for those, since those are the roles which would have garnered the highest number of patrons/viewers.
If you don't mind my asking, did you read the "blue sky" and "Christmas" links I linked to above?
Since we seem to be at the Agree to Disagree threshold, let me know if you want me to start a consensus discussion. Nightscream (talk) 18:06, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
I do not disagree that there is a semantic difference the two phrasings. I merely hold that for Wikipedia's purposes, it is technical one that does violate WP:V or WP:NOR.
I did not say that McKellen is known for Lady Grey. If you read my post above carefully, you'll see that the statement I made was in the hypothetical: McKellen would be known for that performance, if that production were among the most prominent in his career. I would appreciate if it you made some attempt to understand my point of view before disagreeing with it, rather than engaging in Straw Man distortions of them, and for that matter, if you made an attempt to tone down the hostile tone of your messages, since talking things out during a dispute is both required, and makes it easier to reach a resolution.
Again, out of curiosity, did you read the linked pages I included above? Nightscream (talk) 20:59, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Hey Red Pen, if I can figure what all this means I'll be a monkey's uncle. Was that an email to Sue Gardner? I'm sorry for all she has to deal with--but then, she never took me up on a dinner invite at Wikipedia, so that's her loss. Anyway, that article is awful. I could go through, but my axe is, as is well-known, on the blunt side. Consider dropping a line to User:Biruitorul, who is of the Romanian persuasion and also a fantastic and helpful editor. Happy editing, Drmies (talk) 23:46, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
the sue gardiner thing is, as I recall, an attempt at a reminder that the user made a contribution to Wikipedia and let Sue know and she sent a "thank you" back. the rest are a series of my edit summaries on the page, I think. with the person being specifically upset with my last edit - when I reverted a bunch of their edits when they made the claim that they had a personal copy of the congressional record that says something that the Thomas published version does not support. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 02:12, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Unsourced

Per your invitation,

TRPoD, From your comment at Talk:Sync Mot, it seems that you wouldn't object if editors went from article to article deleting everything that wasn't sourced. Am I understanding you correctly? Thanks. --Bob K31416 (talk) 22:00, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

The behavior as you describe is WP:POINTy disruption and should be addressed in the appropriate forum for editor behavior such as RfC/User. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:01, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
The first sentence of wp:point,
"When one becomes frustrated with the way a policy or guideline is being applied, it may be tempting to try to discredit the rule or interpretation thereof by, in one's view, applying it consistently."
The deleting editor wouldn't be frustrated by policy but rather embrace it and think that Wikipedia would be better if there was no unsourced material in it. So it wouldn't be a case of WP:POINT. --Bob K31416 (talk) 22:09, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
I guess you would be out of luck then until someone else brought the disruptive editor under control. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:19, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Why would you consider the editor disruptive? The deleting editor would be acting in good faith, trying to improve Wikipedia by deleting unsourced material. --Bob K31416 (talk) 23:00, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
if an editors behavior creates a disruption, even if they are acting in good faith, it is disruptive behavior. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:02, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Getting back to the question, "Why would you consider the editors behavior disruptive?" --Bob K31416 (talk) 23:05, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Like everything else context matters. If they went around removing every piece of unsourced material and no one was bothered, then it would not be disruptive. However, as the reaction at the particular article page pointed out, such action is not likely to occur for long without a large number of editors being bothered - at which point it is disruptive to continue to remove every piece of unsourced information. But again, it is at the edtiors actions level that such disruption occurs and needs to be addressed, not at the article / content level. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:11, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Seems like your position is that, the editor is correct to try to delete all the unsourced material in Wikipedia, but he shouldn't do any deletions where he is causing a disruption to do so. --Bob K31416 (talk) 23:36, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

The Walken Dead

I don't understand why I received a message that you deleted my contribution to the article "Zombie (fictional)" as needing an adequate source. I included the YouTube URL as reference since it is the only place I know where this video, "The Walken Dead," is found. At that link under the "More" dropdown, the video attributions provide the creators of the video plus additional relevant URL links for the creators. Why is this inadequate since it is the primary URL for the video information on the Internet, and a direct link to the video itself? How would you source this? Thanks for your help on this. --Sdouglas7 (talk) 17:22, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

You responded:

If the only source for the information you wish to include is the youtube video itself, then it is probably not a significant example which provides any encyclopedic information or context. In general, news papers and books are acceptable sources, you can find them at books.google.com and news.google.com -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:59, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. It seems the rationale for my contribution is what is being questioned more than the matter of sourcing since primary sources are allowed. I included the brief note since it combined two pop culture phenomenons - the TV series "The Walking Dead" and actor Christopher Walken - in an artistic, creative, and comedic fashion which adds to the body of pop culture popularity and information about zombies/zombie apocalypse. I have seen other such notes and links in Wikipedia for art, literature, music, and film, and, thus, considered this a worthwhile brief note adding to the cultural use of and references for "Zombies (fictional)". The video has received attention on the Internet (as a Google search shows), which has become a reference source in its own right since people are using is as a point of information and publication, but nothing like "news papers and books." Not every YouTube zombie video is worth such attention - and most should be happily ignored - but I still think this is a valid contribution to the article. I would be happy for your thoughts as I am a new contributor. Thank you. --Sdouglas7 (talk) 17:43, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Removal of National Convention Information for TGOA

You recently removed a table of information about national conventions on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gardeners_of_America/Men%27s_Garden_Clubs_of_America. One reason that table was placed on the page is because past editors have complained that the page lacks sufficient independent citations and primary sources. The table was added because the list of conventions organized by clubs affiliated with the national organization adds such independent citations and sources. Indeed, now that the table is gone, a Wikipedia bot has flagged the page as lacking such citations and sources! So would you please explain your thinking here? Thanks!

Removing information from List of Hispanic Republicans

You need to stop vandalising this article as the version you are trying to add is both messy and misses out alot of Latino people. The version that I am trying to keep not only shows the rise of Hispanic Republicans through the years, but also shows what positions they have held, when they were elected/appointed, images of prominent Hispanics, if they are not a politician then I have placed them under a specific category e.g Law or Science. The article now features a section that one could describe as a graph showing hispanic's in federal government. Why then are you trying to remove all that and put in its place a article that only shows names?? Ilford North Scott MP (talk) 18:01, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Miami cannibal

The point of mentioning Stuyvesant High School in the first place is because it is prestigious. There would be little point in mentioning it at all if he just went to Joe Schmo High School. But our readers may not know what the school is, so it is perfectly reasonable for us to describe it as a prestigious highschool. The fact that he went there was mentioned in all the sources, which I suggest you read, as well as reading the article on the school itself.

I am restoring this material, and giving you an edit warring warning, because if you continue to remove it without consensus on the talk page I will take this right to the edit warring bulletin board. I do understand your concern in general, but believe it is misplaced here. Please seek consensus on the talk page if you think this is problematic.

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion

 

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "Moshe Friedman".

Guide for participants

If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form.

What this noticeboard is:
  • It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction.
What this noticeboard is not:
  • It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct.
  • It is not a place to discuss disputes that are already under discussion at other dispute resolution forums.
  • It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN.
  • It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy.
Things to remember:
  • Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors. Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion.
  • Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page.
  • Sign and date your posts with four tildes "~~~~".
  • If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage.

  • Opinions are a problem for Wikipedia. Wikipedia relies upon facts.
  • If you tell me of a person's greatness, I will dismiss it. If you tell me a person worked for 10 years to become a scholar, I will accept it.

Emma Degerstedt "best known"

Yes, there aren't any sources confirming she is best known for 13 but given the several news articles about this play, it would seem this was the most significant theatre production she did. As for television, she is obviously best known for Unfabulous as that was the only show in which she was featured in more than one episode. Additionally, she won two Young Artist Awards nominations for Unfabulous, suggesting this was indeed her best known television work. As for the "most recent work", that was only this past December and, if she is attending UCLA, it's unlikely she would have much time for many productions. But of course, I wouldn't know what she is spending her time with. SwisterTwister talk 03:57, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Not all of my statements above are assumptions though including the Young Artist Awards nominations for Unfabulous, which as I said, has been the best and most significant role of her career. I'm not going to argue with you but, although I agree there could be better information for her, it's better than before and enough for now. SwisterTwister talk 04:39, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Oprea

Leonard Oprea: Discrimination, Racism, Ignorance & Censorship, or ..what against me? I protest firmly against the slandering of my article in your English Wikipedia. Your “creation” of my “Biography” and “Works” are OUT of the reliable sources, OUT of the truth concerning who I am as writer worldwide. I never wrote a novella “X-Ray of an Instant”, for example; this is the title of a short stories and novellas volume. My first book – well-know – is “Domenii Interzise” / Forbidden Areas/ 1984 published – but premeditatedly you made my article a FALSE image of my biography and works. Premeditatedly you “adjusted” my image as looking … stupid… Probably I have to sue you. I want to be civilized and I like to have a common sense dialog with you… Alas! sorry, you do not have any excuse for your American ignorance and more for your OBVIOULSY CENSORSHIP. I do not agree to have such an article in your racist American space, AT LEAST ACCORDING TO MY FORMER ANTI-COMMUNIST DISSIDENCE WIDELY RECOGNIZED. I did not do anything to deserve this discrimination. Therefore, I think I will have to make public your discrimination. This is NOT a threat – yet what can I do against this evil ignorance?

oversight and feedback

The oversight team has been trying to get the message out that the same standards for suppression apply to article feedback as to actual content. Most vandalism, even BLP violations, does not rise to the level of warranting the harsh action of suppression, although it can be hidden or revdeleted. The policy outlining the circumstances in which it is appropriate to suppress material is at WP:OS. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:29, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Repeated creations and deletions of user page

I noticed you keep having to request deletion of your user page, presumably because you want it redlinked in accordance with your username. If you want, I can protect it so other users can't vandalize it. Unfortunately full protection would prevent you from editing it too. Please let me know. In any case I could semi-protect it, which would have prevented some of those edits (and personally I believe semi-protection should be the default state for user pages). ~Amatulić (talk) 17:31, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Andrew Brenner

Saw your edits regarding the Andrew Brenner article. Agree fully that that editor has a significant COI, however, I did delete some of the content you had restored. Do not disagree with your restoration due to his COI, but after reading the sources, the article is about his reelection, and the "criticism" entry in the source was a one line "in-passing" mention, with no sourcing, no attribution etc in the WP:RS, so I deleted it as I believe we would need more than that to avoid a BLP issue. Gaijin42 (talk) 17:33, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

I could have sworn that from when I was working the article earlier, the sources had made such a connection, but it does not appear so. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:04, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
I saw two sources touching on the issue. 1 source was about the issue in its entirely, but did not criticize Brenner directly, or accuse of any wrongdoing, just statement of simple fact of the business relationship and being behind on taxes. The other source was all about the election, with a one line "brenner was criticized", with no details, attribution, etc. Gaijin42 (talk) 18:52, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Leonard Oprea

RedPen, I'm a bit surprised you reverted Biruitorul. This is just fine, and it's the standard way of doing things. In fact, we owe him a thank you for turning this article into something legible. Biruitorul is one of the good guys. Drmies (talk) 17:51, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

If you look closer the verbiage contains many point of analysis/commentary/interpretation/opinions that are presented in Wikipedia's voice as well as numerous WP:PEACOCK descriptions. I will stand by the removal of that content. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:57, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
I've looked at the verbiage: it is nothing uncommon, and not peacocky at all. You might quibble over "influential", but the rest is neutral. Drmies (talk) 19:15, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

I have to concur with Drmies, and add that I recollect someone removing a word from an article about a Nobel prize winner, citing PEACOCK;, the word came from the 1911 Enc Brit. Sometimes people really are brilliant or influential, and it isn't P to say so straight up. KillerChihuahua 19:24, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

if they really are, then there will be oodles of reliable sources to support such gushing, and sources of any kind, are sorely lacking in the article under discussion. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:28, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
"Influential" is hardly gushing; the edit did not, for example, state that he "transformed dissident literature for all time and is the most influential Romanian ever" or any such nonsense. Influential merely indicates others have been influenced by his work, and is a very modest claim. One puppy's opinion. KillerChihuahua 19:38, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
but again, if he was so influential, there would be multiple sources noting his influence. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:47, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
There probably are, in a language neither you nor I master. Drmies (talk) 20:03, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

3RR warning on Kevin Clash

 
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.166.31.191 (talk) 09:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Quit removing sourced material just because you find it personally objective

We've been over your edits at Neturei Karta, yet you're at it again:

  1. There is no violation of WP:COPYVIO, the policy itself is irrelevant. You can find everything under WP:QUOTE.
  2. You really have no clue what WP:COATRACK refers to. A reliably-sourced money transfer, followed by a reliably sourced public denial of the person involved, equals a legitimate story. Since the person involved is a leading member of the organization, about which the article is written, the story is directly pertinent to the article. Same with the testimony.
  3. We only use the {{who}} tag when footnotes do not specify "who". In this case, however, you simply failed to read the supplied sources. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 19:18, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Manish Sharma (Panasonic) should not be mentioned as Non-notable Corporate Bureaucrat

I made this page Manish Sharma (businessman) on Manish Sharma who is the current Managing Director, Panasonic India. There are certain issues with the page, the biggest one being that Manish Sharma is being termed as a Non-notable Corporate Bureaucrat. In my opinion this is not correct. I understand that we need to provide proper facts/references to support it and here they are: I would start with a statement from The Economic Times (Category-A Business newspaper in India) here, "Japan's largest consumer electronics company, Panasonic has for the first time ever appointed an Indian to head its flagship consumer durables business in the country. Manish Sharma (41), erstwhile head for sales and marketing of Panasonic India, has been promoted as its managing director from April." Here is the link of the same: http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2012-03-06/news/31127441_1_panasonic-india-daizo-ito-durables-market His name has appeared in other major newspapers and magazines in India. Here are the links: http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2012-03-06/news/31127441_1_panasonic-india-daizo-ito-durables-market http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/features/brandline/article3707404.ece http://www.4psbusinessandmarketing.com/07102010/storyd.asp?sid=4042&pageno=1 http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/industry-and-economy/marketing/article3516096.ece?homepage=true&ref=wl_home Apart from these, he has received various awards, one of the most recent one being, the National Conservation Energy Awards 2012 held in December on behalf of Panasonic. Therefore, Manish Sharma by no means necessary can be categorized as a Non-notable Corporate Bureaucrat.I request you to please help me correct this issue.Gadgetsgigs (talk) 13:02, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Re your recent "work" on colostomy

Destruction is easy, replacing unsourced content or content based on 2o sources takes more time, but it is better for the encyclopedia. Lesion (talk) 12:05, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

How can the content be reinserted? It is lost to the history. Don't pretend you are doing some important task, this is just aimless, destructive vandalism. Lesion (talk) 14:37, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
issue is not about how long unsourced statements were present. Better to find sources and edit article responsibly than what you have done. Remember the template is "citation needed" not "blanket delete without looking for supporting citation". Lesion (talk) 15:43, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
you are choosing to ignore parts of policy and then claiming that your own interpretation of policy "trumps" any other argument. Stop destructive vandalism, you create more work for serious editors. Also, I am pretty certain that warnings are given in order (if indeed a warning was justified at all here), instead of skipping straight to a final warning. Another example of your selective interpretation of policy. I think you may be a troll, seeking out conflict as an expression of dissatisfaction with your own unhappy life. Leave wikipedia alone please. Lesion (talk) 13:36, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
TheRedPenOfDoom has a habit of removing section he/she disagrees with using selective/personal interpretations of 'policies' as an excuse, to the point of disregarding verifiable sources provided. Zzsignup (talk) 00:29, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

claims of "controversial" must be attributed

Per your policy link "(labels) are best avoided UNLESS WIDELY USED by reliable sources to describe the subject" (emphasis mine). As Niemti have pointed out, there are MULTIPLE reliable sources describing the video as controversial, and it is rather self-evident (see Wikipedia:You_don't_need_to_cite_that_the_sky_is_blue) to anyone who followed the video (have you?). As I have pointed out, the Wiki Kony video article even called the video 'controversial' multiple times without challenge. Why is it so hard for you to accept that factually, it is a controversial video? If you have a problem with how the edit is sourced, then correct the edit or add 'Citation needed' as others have suggested. Simply removing them even when they can easily be verified smacks of unilateral censorship/ownership/disruptive editing.

Regarding the source, did you even read the article or look at the title? The title is "Invisible Children's 'Kony 2012' viral video stirs emotion and controversy". A direct quote from the article "In less than a week, the video has garnered over 26.6 million views, but it's also sparked controversy." How can you claim the article is about Invisible Children the organization and not the video?

Nice straw-man argument. However you clearly knew that the source was about the Kony 2012 video, which IS a section on the Joseph Kony page. If you feel that the video is not relevant to Joseph Kony (I disagree) then the whole section should be removed. If you feel the video is relevant, then the controversies need to be mentioned as they are part of why the video gained notoriety, and balance the section out. As it was, only the positive effects of the video are mentioned and unchallenged, which I don't doubt is intentional. Zzsignup (talk) 07:25, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Uh, hey

    • In the context involved I would think it best not to use op-ed pieces. Op-ed pieces tend to want to get people to act, an article like this one needs to have restraint and focus on the facts. Horrific indicents get momentary overeactions that should not be incorporated into an encyclopedia. If the claims are valid they will find publication in more reliable sources than op-ed pieces.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:44, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
      • exactly what "facts" ?
      • the horrific incident is, according to all of the commentators that I have heard, not is not bringing "momentary overeactions" - it is opening a space where people are finally talking about things that have long existed and been ignored. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 04:26, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

My editing of Mike Milken page

I do not believe Wiki guidelines prohibit me from editing a BLP, even if I am a representative of that individual. In fact, I believe I have followed Wiki guidelines by being completely transparent in noting my bias. I then have posted on the Milken talk page the evidence supporting my suggestions. That said, please address my concern - the fact that there is documented proof that Mike Milken has funded medical research since 1982. This documentation exists not only at www.mff.org, but has been reported by Fortune magazine (^ a b c Daniels, Cora (2004-11-29). "The Man Who Changed Medicine". Fortune. Retrieved 2009-07-28.) Also, please be so good as to review Wiki editing guidelines so that you understand that I do indeed have the right to edit this article. Quoting from Wiki policy: "The Arbitration Committee has ruled in favor of showing leniency to BLP subjects [or their representatives] who try to fix what they see as errors or unfair material. Although Wikipedia discourages people from writing about themselves, removal of unsourced or poorly sourced material is acceptable.. Indeed, as in this case, Wiki policy states that "Contentious material about living persons (or recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." LarryWeisenberg (talk) 15:18, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in here, but I just followed this conversation regarding this article. While your statements are well thought out, the problem is that the recent edit you made today here removed a factual, properly source material, and that your removal of that information shows particular bias. As something that would certainly be considered a contentious statement "Since his release from prison", you should avoid editing it directly it. Your rights to remove "unsourced or poorly sourced material is acceptable" but that is not the case here, it is factual and properly sourced. I understand you would like to avoid negative statements about your client, however wikipedia is not the platform for sanitizing an article or whitewashing history. With regards to what you want to edit, please see WP:NPOV, in addition to WP:COI which you have previously been presented with. Tiggerjay (talk)

By the way, the thing that should be deleted on this page about Nicolas Poussin is the category "French Baroque painters": Poussin was definitely not a Baroque painter! Thank you and at your disposal for further information if necessary. User:Guillaumeh75 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:40, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your welcome and your explanation, but I honestly think that the website linked meets WP criteria, notably the 3 points of "What to link" and the 3rd point of "What can normally be linked" of the WP:EL. Available in French since 2006, the whole site (except the news section - to come) has just been translated in English and now offers an important amount of information about Poussin for English speaking people: his life (and his biographers), his works (notably at The Louvre Museum with many pictures of the paintings and engravings), his bibliography (almost 30 books), his circle... I don't understand your deletion, even if I agree with the principle that Wikipedia is not a farm of links. Do I really need to ask for consensus on the talk page? Thank you Guillaumeh75 (talk) 17:45, 16 February 2013 (UTC)


I QUITE AGREE: in French Art History terms he is the paragon of Classicism. It is a German Art History expression to call him "Baroque". May be that need to be explained to wiki English readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.226.60.68 (talk) 06:07, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Edmund White

I deleted the incidental elliptical clause that seem to be a challenge and made the sentence as plain as it can be. I believe it is important for readers to know that White, from an early stage, wrote about his first sex experience with his grand father, with his grand mother's approval hence the "sweetest 'thang' remark now deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.226.60.68 (talk) 06:04, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Doomed (novel)

Why do you keep on removing "Doomed(novel)" from the Doomed page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stergiosss (talkcontribs) 19:07, 18 February 2013 (UTC)


did your recent edit[1] stem from The Oregonian being somewhere declared as now failing WP:RS?

I can agree that Geek Magazine has not yet have their reliabilty determined, and understand THAT source being removed... but where and when was it decided that authored articles (even if brief) in The Oregonian were not reliable sources? Sure, the author is reporting the novelist's announcement,[2] but do we now have an assumption that that newspaper no longer has editorial oversite or a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 00:36, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
The typically reliable source is putting none of their reliability behind the claim, they are simply repeating a claim made by someone with a conflict of interest -and so in this case, no it is not a reliably sourced claim to be made in wikipedia's voice without specific textual context. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 00:43, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
The COI would be if the newspaper article itself were authored by the novelist rather than by an independent journalist choosing to report upon his announcement... OR if were shown that the novelist specifically paid The Oregonian to simply post "an announcement". As The Oregonian does not specialize in unsubstantiated gossip, I do not think we can assert or assume without evidence that a typically reliable source is somehow not putting their own reputation for fact-checking and accuracy and editorial oversight behind something they publish. I have acted on our suggestion that the names need "contxt".[3] However, you are welcome to state at WP:RSN that The Oregonian does not check what they publish. Best, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:34, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't get it. You ask the community to correct the grammar on Rader's page and yet when I correct it, you change it back. When you say "he published", it means he self published.

Your recent editing history at William C. Rader shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:42, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Potential conflict of interest

You seem to know a lot about Rader and his background and his publishing.

  Hello, Grammaring. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- User talk:Grammaring 22:48, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

I am quite willing to say publicly that I have no connection to Rader and know absolutely nothing about him other than what I have found in the reliable and not so reliable sources that that have been included to create both hatchet job and beatification of the man and what my google-fu has found in trying to get the article to approach something that does not make a mockery of our polices of WP:BLP / WP:V / WP:NPOV and WP:MEDRES. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:54, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your message regarding the verification of accuracy in articles that I review.

Stem cell educator

Hallo, I see you have removed materials from Stem cell educator. This passed detailed and very proper scrutiny at AfD. I note you are concerned to apply the policy on medical references, which is good and right. However, there is no reason why a 'Reception' section - whose job is, after all, to describe the reaction or reception by the world's media to the subject of an article - should be written to the standard required of medical claims. The standard for 'Reception' of something is what it is everywhere on Wikipedia, namely that it is true that the press said something of relevance, and that what they said is reasonably substantial, and that the claims are properly cited - which they are. We cannot insist that the journalists conduct medical research; they have neither the time nor the training, and that is not their job.

Similarly, you have removed some truthful description of what the 'stem cell educator' does, viz the material flows through in a certain way. This is not controversial and should not have been removed.

Therefore, I'd be grateful if we could find a way to restore the article. I do not believe that it is correctly tagged, for the reasons given. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:33, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Please be careful when you make comments such as this one. Avoiding profanity when contacting an editor you do not know is a basic tenet of the civility policy.

That doesn't mean anything, I meant stop coming up every where I go deleting everything but you still haven't answered my question

the only thing "just leave me alone" can mean is "dont post on my user talk page" as any content you contribute to article space is free to be edited by anyone according to policy. and since most of your edits in article space fail one or more of the policies of WP:V / WP:RS / WP:OR etc. the editing of them will generally consist of deletion.
And you havent answered my question about your potential involvement with the articles that you have been editing. do you have a conflict of interest? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:48, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

how can I risk causing public embarrassment

when newspapers or other forums find the people have been attempting to use Wikipedia as promotional vehicle and the actions of those involved come under scrutiny, it is generally not a favorable impact on the image of all of those involved. "caught with the hand in the cookie jar" . -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:10, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

well i'm not it as a promotional vehicle, I just love this band and I like to make their pages on Wikipedia good, what's so bad about that

spamming articles that dont meet the basic criteria for stand alone articles and removing clean up tags without addressing the clean up tags does not actually make their pages better - it makes the band look worse by indicating that their fans want to try to highjack wikipedia into a fanpage instead of presenting actual encyclopedic content. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:17, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

but I'm not editing it all the time any ways. and I thought it was 'encyclopedic', it would make sense to have someone who know's al lot about them rather than someone who doesn't

no, it doesnt take someone who knows about them, it takes someone who can find published content and present it in a neutral manner. Fans depending upon their own personal knowledge are generally very bad at making good encyclopedic articles. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:28, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

This includes articles such as Kareena Kapoor and Vidya Balan, which are featured articles now, so saying that the "Special appearances" should be located in the Role section is like refuting reputable articles like those above. Also, even Hollywood stars like Jennifer Anniston have it this way.

Come on!! You're refuting featured articles!!! They've been edited by experienced people! How can you argue with them? PLUS, this is the first time somebody's been editing articles like this..you just can't edit an article because YOU personally don't like it that way!!! How stupid is that! Yes, the Role column should contain info on his role. In Luck By Chance and Chillar Party, his role was HIMSELF!! You can't add "Special appearance" there!! By that logic, that would mean that you'd have to add "Lead role" for every other film role (eg. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani- Lead role as Bunny). You don't do that, do you?? If you think that the Notes section should only contain info about awards, then why isn't it called the "Awards" column???? And, you're not "plopping" information anywhere..it is the standard for editing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chulbul pandey ab (talkcontribs) 13:03, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Ok, so that argument was irrelevant, but what about the other points? I'm guessing that since you didn't respond to that, you think I'm right? So, why don't we just go by accepted Wikipedia conventions, and put the "Special appearance" note in the Notes section?!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chulbul pandey ab (talkcontribs) 00:23, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
These "kids" that you are referring to are experienced Wikipedia editors who've made articles into featured articles. So, yes, if I'm trying to emulate how they edit, then there's nothing wrong with that!
And you seem to have forgotten about this- "If you think that the Notes section should only contain info about awards, then why isn't it called the "Awards" column????" Chulbul pandey ab (talk) 00:38, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, well I'm still not agreeing with you on this one. It just sounds like you're the only one that wants this. I mean, if you apply this here, then that would mean you'd have to apply it to EVERY other article too! Imma ask around, and see what other people say..

  Hello, I'm Karthik Selvanayagam. I noticed that you recently removed some content without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Karthik Selvanayagam (talk) 16:13, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Please please please do read more good and featured articles in Wikipedia and try to learn before you make your edits. Not every edit of yours is justified and even reviewers and admins would undo some of your edits. Forget me, more experienced editors will object your edits as well. Thanks to you, I totally lost interest in editing and I may quit. Have a good life! Karthik Selvanayagam (talk) 16:18, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

if your complaint was about my previous edits at Andrea Jeremiah (which you undid without providing any rational), if you look at the edit history you will in fact see that every edit DOES have an explanation, one based in policy and Manual of style guidelines. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:17, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

I've removed your "discussion closed" and archive tag - do not disrupt the talk page on The Beatles

I've removed your "discussion closed" and archive tag - do not disrupt the talk page on The Beatles. You can see the date with the signatures. You archived the thread for reasons other than stated. It is not your decision to decide when to archive other editors comments on talk pages. I will report you to admin for disruptive editing since you chose to archive a thread only a few hours after the last post while the discussion is still ongoing through user talk pages (check my edit history) and may return to the original article once we have finished discussing some finer points of article editing and its relationship to The Beatles article.

Sluffs (talk) 01:53, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

no, you are wrong. I archived it because it was not and had not been about your proposed edit to the article for some time nor any other points directly related to the Beatles article content. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 05:34, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Red Pen of Doom - hmmm - interesting name. Go on then have it your way - you obviously should consider a career in teaching then you can cross out with a red pen all the mistakes your pupils make. It would also give everyone here a rest from the impending swipe of doom from your phallic red pen. lol

Esben and the Witch

unsourced are you serious, nobody put's sources for the genre of music they have, I'm going to give you a list of successful band's that don't have sources and the Wikipedia pages are fine.

Hole (band)

Babes in Toyland (band)

Nirvana (band)

Pixies (band)

The Breeders

The Dead Weather

The Kills

I could go on for ages and I know it's not that much but you know, these bands are highly successful (although babes in toyland aren't MASSIVE)if sources where necessary there would be some, the only one I could fine was The White Stripes.

Yes we all know there are lots of content in Wikipedia which doesnt yet meet our standards. When there is a conflict or disagreement about what should or shouldn't be in an article, directly applying the policies and guidelines solves the issue. If none of the people involved in the discussion can provide a valid source for their position, then none of their personal opinions belongs in the article - and the disagreement is over. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:48, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Just ignore Red Pen of Doom. His user name tells you everything you need to know about what role he has decided to give himself on Wikipedia. Blame it on the parents - usually a domineering father. Someone in his childhood gave him this perception of himself as judge beyond all others. What Red Pen of Doom doesn't realise is that sometimes the ink well runs dry and then we just have a scratchy pen. lol

I am so hurt. I am going to tell my mommy that you said I play by the rules! -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:27, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Glad to see you have a mum - is she the one to blame for your blind and overbearing adherence to the rules? You could try relaxing on the red pen strike-throughs - at least then it will give new editors a chance to judge their own work rather than have you judge them. I also wouldn't want to make you feel uncomfortable here but you obviously don't understand the nasty impact that your over-zealous approach has on making others feel uncomfortable. All editors have mums and dads but only one editor here received a red pen from his. Someone should take that pen and shove it where it really belongs. lol. Back in the pen case I'll add just so you don't strike me with your metaphorical pen of doom. Oh no! there's a big red pen standing outside my door - blimey you are quick on the "draw". lol

oh my god your still going and this time with a threat, get a life.

not at all a threat. a simple statement of fact.
policies require that challenged material must be supported by reliably published sources before it is returned to the article. repeated violations of policy after being advised of policy is actively disruptive behavior. disruptive behavior will be ended by a block.
simple facts of the way things work around here.
you can follow policies and be a productive contributor enhancing the quality and status of the articles of the bands you are a fan of; or you can be actively disruptive and end up being blocked while bringing the articles of the bands you are a fan of into a bin of turmoil and ill repute. it's your choice. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:04, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

When you have made it your position and habit to make edits that are not within policy and guidelines after you have been told about them, it is entirely proper to "follow you" to see if your edits other places are within policy.

Editing reliable sources

Ref-List of highest-grossing Indian films worldwide Don't edit on you whim. It is agreed that boxoffice india is the most credible box office source.If you have any, doubt check BOI references given on the page. Article also says that rankings are based on Boxoffice india. You should consider at least that.Different papers can give different data.On all the articles,boxoffice information is given by boxofficeindia. If it is not available then only,other source is taken into account. Please consider that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.212.33.195 (talk) 20:47, 29 March 2013 (UTC)


Why are you behaving as if You are new to such articles on wikipedia. Box office india specializes in box office information. While other articles are generally unverified aricles on net,which are not even published in news paper.On every wikipedia article in Indian movies, references from Box Office India is given. So, we should do that here also. If any other mistake is there,you should correct that,not main source.

Actually the numbers you are mentioning, were claimed by Enthiran producers.other news sites simply repeated their claim.Read the article on Enthiran.

User 101.212.33.195 is right. We should give data on basis of Box Office India.If the data is not available in Box office India then only, we should take help of other sources. Otherwise everyone will start claiming that a given data given by Box Office India is wrong.Kumarila 03:01 30 march 2013 —Preceding undated comment added 21:32, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

You can not edit on your personal opinion. News paper articles that you are giving, don't specialise in boxoffice data.They gave the data reported by Enthiran producers. Box office india is an independent source,whose sole work is to track boxoffice data. If you do like this,I can give articles giving different box office figures for different films. We should follow a common parameter for ranking.I think your bias is reflecting in you edits.

Why do you keep reverting my edits?? Yesterday, on Ranbir Kapoor's page, I added information about his reviews for Bachna Ae Haseeno and Anjaana Anjaani; fixed up all the punctuation errors, added references for his future projects and removed the unnecessary info; and you reverted all of this because of one sentence that had an NPOV concern. Why are you doing this? Did you even read my edits? You know, people work hard here to improve articles, but from what I know, you seem to be doing the complete opposite!! Please, next time, read my (and other peoples') edits, and then revert anything that seems incorrect. Don't just carelessly revert huge chunks of information that's important!

Please refrain from deleting the citation about the patriots game viewership. Your subjectivity on doing so swayed the vote of a later editor who specifically stated that because the performance was not broadcast to live TV, like a playoff game, it was irrelevant. But it was as on a live broadcast and the editor missed that because of YOU. I have brought this to the attention of an admin. Please do not remove he citation to unduly sway any more editors. Selmaflora294 (talk) 23:01, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

No really cares about bets you are willing to make, and your assumptions are just assumptions. I will consider what to do. But you are a rude editor (I have read the history) and should exclude yourself from further edits. I will certainly bring it to the attention of an admin because I think you are both biased and ill informed. Editors like you give wikipedia a bad name. Selmaflora294 (talk) 01:30, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

You have not done your homework. The source from diablo magazine is reputable and mentions the performance. Because they are in the Bay Area they could not have known about the performance unless they saw it National TV.

Also, see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lOUubkE8Sk

If you still don't believe that it's true, then you are purposefully doing all this to sabotage the article. And I will gladly report that to an admin. Selmaflora294 (talk) 01:47, 4 April 2013 (UTC)


Sir, whoever you are, you are way out on a limb here. You don't realize what you're saying.... The magazine chooses what to write about and in this case had to have had visual confirmation of the subject performing. They could not have posted such a thing unless it was true, and on TV. Your being so obstinate about this matter points to your personally trying to keep and significant aspect of notability off the subject's page, clearly because you know it would sway other people voting on deletion. I could make the assumption that you are acting as a saboteur. But I don't know for sure, therefore I ask only that you use your eyes as well as common sense. Please reconsider your position. Selmaflora294 (talk) 01:59, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

I apologize if I've offended you, I was simply sayin that assumptions are pretty worthless. I understand that you probably did not do anything purposefully, but you are also, despite knowing wiki terms, guilty of not doing your homework. I can see why you are against the 23 million number. I have done further research and discovered that the real ratings for when the subject sang (the start of the game at 8pm eastern time) was 17.7 million people. So I will make the chane immediately to reflect the facts. But do agree that your ignoring this matter might have influenced unduly one of the 'Delete' votes? If not others? Selmaflora294 (talk) 02:17, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

One of the voters specifically said that he didn't think singing the anthem is significant because it wasn't televised. You knew FULL well that it was and removed the source based on a technicality. Now that I have done th research and ascertained that an exact amount of 17.7 million were watching the moment that subject sang at 8pm sharp, I hope that the numbers and the Nielsen ratings are proof enough to make it a notable and appropriate part of the subject's article. Again, I apologize if I've offended you, I just don't see why you didn't do the research. Why you didn't watch the video where you can see with your own eyes that it was on national TV. Why you would make the specious argument that a PR agency manipulated an entire editorial staff at a major publication for ONE client. More importantly, if he was SO important as to be able to manipulate an entire editing staff at Diablo Magazine to write about a performance that no one according to you saw, he would definitely be worthy of a wikipedia article (joke). Seriously sir, consider what you are arguing... It's highly dubious. Selmaflora294 (talk) 02:30, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

3rd party sources did cover the matter, and despite what you may think its a big deal to sing at a major NFL football game. You have to be selected and go through a rigorous audition process. Obviously it's not written about in newspapers! But it's a huge deal, you simply probably work in a differ field and don't respect it. Selmaflora294 (talk) 02:46, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello,

Firstly great to see a response on this forum from you. I am humbled by your pointers as a heads-up for me. It has given quite some clarity to ask a few questions.

Lets take an example of a movie review citation. Lets take 'MillionLuck' or 'MovieCrow' How are these sources deemed as reliable sources?

When it comes to the Indian space who are deemed to be critics? How are they elevated to that level? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charan2987 (talkcontribs) 12:56, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

A few other questions. Have you checked the credibility of all the references that are generally seen on a movie page? How do you arrive at the authorial credibility? A review is a viewpoint, it does not need to undergo a credibility check. All it needs to have the relevance (meaning a movie review citation should not point to something totally different). Who are these community folks who arrive at consensus? What's their background & knowledge with respect to the topics under discussion?

Kindly answer to all the questions raised, to the point and then continue preaching reliability and credibility sermons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charan2987 (talkcontribs) 18:36, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Purappadu film

This is a very old film and its hard to find any coverage on the internet. But the people involved in the film, including the director and major actors are notable enough and hence I thought the film meets the notability guidelines. Rest is up to you. Thank you.

Question

Hello TheRedPenOfDoom, I have a question regarding the reviews by reviewbol, there's a user who has repeatedly adding reviews from that site to upcoming Bollywood movies. I am quite not sure where that site is a reliable source since I have never seen that used in other articles before today and also that there are summary of reviews from other sites (like toi, zeenews, bollywoodhungama etc). I hope you can help me. Tolly4bolly 11:43, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello,

You have sent me a message that you have removed an external link which I have placed to the site Tax Havens Guide. I don't see any reason why this link shouldn't meet the guidelines, since it is totally on topic (the site is about tax havens with specific sections for offshore companies), is of non commercial nature and I guess it adds a lot of complementary information about the topic. Since you have removed the link immediately after I have posted it, I doubt that you really had the time to review the linked site to get a full picture about the content. Thus, I would like to ask you to review it again an reconsider your position. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Offshoreguru (talkcontribs) 11:53, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Drugstore Band - new edit - further sources

Hello there, Thank you for your message. I have updated the page and reverted your last edit, as believe the inclusion of external links (2 interviews + 1 live review) adds context, if readers want to pursue further information regarding the artist in question. I have based this addition upon following other similar artists pages on Wikipedia, and I think the 2 or 3 extra links are not exessive, as most bands/artists usually add a much greater number of linked reviews and interviews.
As for further citations and references, could you please be a bit more specific? and I'll be more than happy to follow your advice, and add as many referenced sources, as necesary. But probably good to keep in mind, that we don't need to add hundreds of references, that would be in disproportion to the size and weight of the article itself. Once again, thank you for your help, and please let me know what further references you think should be added to improve the article. Regards,Lovelyshopper (talk) 12:19, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Also noticed you have deleted links to album pages and created a re-direct to band page. I believe this should be re-included, as all 4 albums merit reference.
The 1st album, (Drugstore), I believe sold over 120.000 copies and was, at the time of its release, named 'top 50 album of the year' in both Q Magazine and Melody Maker. The 2nd album 'White Magic for Lovers', which also charted - features a top 20 hit single (El President). The other 2 albums, also need also to be included, for historical continuity.
Again, I am following other bands' Wikipedia pages of similar stature, for guidance. The indicvidual album pages provide accurate information and reference, and is a reliable resource and good alternative to Discogs for many record collectors. I will re-intrduce the pages, but try to keep'em with just the minimal information (tracklists, credits etc) Once again, thanks for your input.Lovelyshopper (talk) 12:28, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Curve

  • Would you mind if you stop messing the pages of Curve & Pink Girl With the Blues? I put a lot of effort on them and I don't like to see them vandalized by you. You don't have anything good to do on Wikipedia than erase things? Thanks. Deepblue1 (talk) 13:28, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
    • You came with big words and all kind of Wikipedia shortcuts. Those shortcuts were edited also by some people, they're not the 10 laws of Moses. The point is: with what right you try to remove the content written by me? How you would feel if I would delete the pages edited by you? You're the police of Wikipedia or something? Mind your business and leave my edits as they are. I will not allow you to erase my edits. Be sure of that. Deepblue1 (talk) 16:52, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
    • "Every editor has the right to edit any article - if their edits follow the policies and guidelines." Then it's my right to revert your reverts because I don't agree with them. "...applying the standard content policies of WP:N and WP:RS and WP:EL is NOT WP:VANDALism". By who? You're just an ordinary user. I don't trust that your judgement is fair in applying these policies. These policies aren't set in stone and they could be interpreted in many ways. You obviously interpreted in a destructive way to remove content. What's the reason for that? I will ask an admin to solve this problem. You're clearly biased. Deepblue1 (talk) 17:03, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
    • One more reason that you're 100% biased: you tracked the edit history of the user User:Violetcries. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:TheRedPenOfDoom#Reply He/she edited the page Pink Girl With the Blues (fixed a mistake) and then you made your appearance, ready to mess his/her edits. Tell me I'm not right... Deepblue1 (talk) 17:10, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
yes i followed the inappropriate edits of User:Violetcries and got to an article where another user was also making inappropriate edits. the "who" is making the inappropriate edits on an article is of no real concern to me. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:11, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

If an admin deletes it for that speedy deletion criterion, I will learn something. However, it wasn't an attack page, so I wonder how they will see it. I'm actually a bit surprised there's no criteria that has personal information on it like that. (And, of course, there's a reason I'm not posting the link to the page... obviously.)

Imran Khan

Hey TheRedPenOfDoom! I was wondering, would you be willing to copy-edit the Imran Khan article.

Re: Asian Heart Institute and Asian Hospitals

I am mystified as to why over 80% of the page of AHI has been removed. I edited it last night, and toned down what had been toned down repeatedly. Even descriptions of hospital services have been removed! I spent a lot of time looking at other hospital's pages and took language, style, editing content cues from there. Please provide some guidance, or at least give us an example of what you believe is the epitome of a really neutral page and we will follow it. We welcome any amount of work to meet Wikipedia standards. In this case, this hospital really is an extraordinary organisation and a mere listing of its features could seem like advertising. Every single fact was linked to an external source. I request you to temporarily restore the page while we correct it to meet your requirements. Alvin J Saldanha 04:38, 14 April 2013 (UTC) Alvin Saldanha — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alvinsaldanhaecd (talkcontribs)


May I request you to restore the page and I will completely redo it to your satisfaction? The hospital is a very important part of the Indian healthcare landscape and is very highly regarded globally also. This article will be corrected to Wikipedia standards and to Wikipedia's satisfaction. Alvinsaldanhaecd (talkcontribs) —Preceding undated comment added 06:51, 14 April 2013 (UTC)


How do I find the page as it stood before you changed it? This allows me to show the hospital what was the last set of changes effected. This 'last' page also has the links to outside sources. Since 'external' links are vital to the credibility of an article, I had taken pains to link each and every claim made. I also want to submit that if an organisation like JCI recognises AHI to be 'The Safest Hospital in the World' and it a link to JCI and the article reporting it is provided, how does it fall short? If the hospital is chosen by the PM of India to do his redo bypass and links are provided, (and they can be found by the dozens on a simple Google search) what else is required? I would honestly appreciate a little advice. Thank You for your time, and your help. God Bless.--Alvin J Saldanha 07:30, 14 April 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alvinsaldanhaecd (talkcontribs)

Thank You very much. You have been very patient with us, and I really appreciate it. Disclosure: I am the Creative Director of AHI's advertising agency, but this is NOT what we are signed on to do and we are NOT compensated for it. The info, in my personal opinion is vital to millions of people in the region, who we know are looking for inexpensive top-quality cardiac care. Having had a quintuple bypass I know how desperately people are searching and what a relief it is to find corroboration of information on Wikipedia. I put all these entries out of my own personal effort. I can completely see the points you are making, and in respect to your intention but also for the sake of people looking for a reliable information on AHI, I will work at it. I am also very happy to submit the redone page to any Wikipedia 'independent editor' to correct. God Bless. --Alvin J Saldanha 07:49, 14 April 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alvinsaldanhaecd (talkcontribs)

edit war warning

 
Your recent editing history at Chashme Baddoor (2013 film) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

you have now fully crossed into the territory where you will be blocked] unless you revert yourself. I urge you to take that chance. Otherwise, I hope that while you are blocked you actually read up on copyright and its application at Wikipedia. Saman Zara Zaidi (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Re:please be careful at what you call "vandalism"

Hello. I just wanted to inform you that I was a former editor who started back in 2006 and had even worked on couple of good articles, so I think I pretty much know what's right and what not. Removing films, including ones that are in production, does definitely not violate any guideline. A film that has started principal photography and/or been official announced can be listed in a filmography, if it is reliably sourced, that surely is NOT crystal balling. Crystal balling means speculating, but these films ARE in making, that is a fact and a difference. That too couple of those films do even have separate articles or are listed in IMDb already. You may or may not like that, but adding upcoming films in a filmography does not violate any rule, so I request you to refrain from making this change again.

With regard to the awards section, you may be right be that it was not properly sourced, but that's by far not a reason to remove the entire section. When I was promoting articles to good articles, I was told to include only the most notable awards in the filmography and the others in a separate section. So which guidelines prevents me from having an awards section please? Wilhelm Chandrahaasan (talk) 20:03, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

A film in making is a film too. Anyways, as I stated above there is no such guideline in Wikipedia that explicitly stated that it is not allowed to add upcoming films in a filmography. You may remove unsourced or unneded trivia from filmographies (I would do that as well!) but not reliably sourced claims. Wilhelm Chandrahaasan (talk) 20:13, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
In fact, the correct method would be adding it in prose AND to include it in the filmography. As you said lazyness is one reason, why a text is not written, but again it shall be included in the filmography too. That is valid, my friend! Wilhelm Chandrahaasan (talk) 20:16, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
First of all, I don't agree that it is "something that hasnt even happened", how is a film that IS being made at the moment something that "hasnt happened"? The third world war is something that "hasnt happened". And second point, what do you actually think is the purpose of filmographies? Did you ever notice that a filmography will always have "duplicate content"? It is a short, handy form of the article's prose, it, more or less, summarizes an actor's career. Not all people (not even I) are going to read through the entire prose of every actor's article to find out which films he/she was/will be part of. Do you do that? That's why there is thing called filmography. Much easier, much faster. In fact, the lead section of every article also comprises "duplicate content" only, it's a summary of the entire article, so shall we remove the lead sections from all articles? I can't believe I have to explain this to you. Wilhelm Chandrahaasan (talk) 22:20, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Haha, oh dear, you are really adamant. In any case, there is absolutely nothing "unencyclopedic" about this. The rice might burn, the author may die, you know, THAT is speculation. Let them be "works in progress" but the decisive factor is that there IS some progress, that there is something happening, so it can't be crystal balling. So I repeat, it is not a crime to add them in a filmography, it does not violate any guideline, period. So please don't remove them just because you think that a cast or crew member might die (even then the person will be replaced and the project will be continued). Also many films (and other projects as well) that are in production and not finished yet, do even have separate articles, did you know? Everything wrong, is it? I have explained my view in great detail now, I don't see any violations and I'm sorry, I really cannot spend my precious time on fighting over such petty issues, so please don't bother me again regarding this matter. Thank you. Wilhelm Chandrahaasan (talk) 11:51, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
Wait, so a whole article about a yet to be completed film is ok, but a single remark in a filmography table is not? Ah, alright sir. No seriously, I have had enough. I have made my points clear, your arguments are not convincing, definitely not complete crystalballing for me. Let it be, "not a film yet", but a "notable work in progress", no rule says it shall not be added, so I will continue to add. No rule says it shall be removed, so it will not removed. If you still want to carry this through, don't argue with me hereafter, take this matter to the Film project page and try to convince other editors. Discussion closed! Seriously dude, why are you trying so hard? Wilhelm Chandrahaasan (talk) 22:16, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
Because in filmography there is the word film? That's your argument? Seriously? Oh yeah! Anyways, as I told you, please conside WikiProject Film from now on, they are waiting for you, good luck! Until then, I will keep adding "upcoming films" (look, this terms also contains the word film, oops!) to a filmography! Cheers! Wilhelm Chandrahaasan (talk) 22:26, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
list of films. That is released films and to be released films. They are also films. Yes, they are! And your second argument... what the heck? That's not even remotely the same dude. Eggs, milk and flour ARE NOT cakes, why should they be added in a list of cakes. You're trying too hard and it's becoming sillier and sillier. I have given more than one reason, you only pick up the last one always. You still have not proven that a guideline tells us not to include upcoming films too. And I have told you where to continue this discussion. Bye brother! Wilhelm Chandrahaasan (talk) 22:56, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
that is your opinion only, and opinions differ. What shall do with this page for instance? A page full of upcoming films only, oh no! You can't win this. And you don't do this again, before you have proven me that it is not allowed. I have given the strongest argument so far, not you. You still have no rights to remove it. This was very ugly of you to revert back, though we have not come to an conclusion yet. Wilhelm Chandrahaasan (talk) 09:51, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Haha, I have countered all your arguments and now you are trying to turn the tables, very very poor. "You have yet to provide any evidence that such works in progress belong in a filmography". Absolutely not, it's exactly the other way. If there is no rule, it is allowed. You have to prove me that it does not belong there. You were trying to prove that and since nothing worked out, you are turning the table. Brilliant! Please dear, let's close this discussion. You are running out of arguments and no use in discussing with stubborn people who refuse to accept that they were wrong. I told you to at least get the "permission" from the WikiProject page. You didn't do that either. Alright, then you continue removing them, I (and loads of other editors too) will continue adding them until we both get blocked. I'm fine with that. Wilhelm Chandrahaasan (talk) 20:22, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
You have not proved anything, you only assumed so and I have stultified your arguments. And come on, isn't that obvious that if something isn't prohibited it is generally allowed? And before pointing at me, I would suggest you to look at your edits first. Anyways, this leads nowhere, so no more replies from me. Happy editing!

Ping Fu draft

Hi there, I wanted to reach to you after your note on my Talk page to ask if you would like to review the draft for Ping Fu that I've prepared, and possibly move over the remaining sections that haven't been added in to the live article yet? A few editors have reviewed now and one has moved two of the sections (the more controversial ones: Early life and family and Memoir) into the live article. The introduction, infobox, Career and Awards and recognition haven't been moved but are much less controversial and generally just involved tidying up the information and making sure everything is sourced correctly. I made some changes based on feedback from editors on the Talk page, see discussion here and FreeRangeFrog recommended at WP:BLPN that I move the sections myself, however I would prefer not to since I follow the "bright line" rule for COI editors. If you're able to take a look and move the sections if you think they're ready, that would be great. Thanks. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 21:58, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Warning

Will you please stop removing the contents from Sanjeev Nanda page? You are trying to modify the page to focus only on the accident. This page is not about the accident. It is about Sanjeev Nanda. It is a very crucial information that this fellow is a grand son Indian Naval chief and how he was able to influence the outcome and his time in jail due to his lineage. This is my last warning to you. It almost looks like as if you have been paid by Nanda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hankspanks (talkcontribs) 04:02, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Asian Heart Institute

 

If this is the first article that you have 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.

A tag has been placed on Asian Heart Institute 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Uberaccount (talk) 00:01, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alphonse Putharen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tamil (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:37, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Sridevi FF "awards"

These people don't give up easily, huh? BollyJeff | talk 15:04, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

If only such dedication and effort could be harnessed to actually improving the article content! -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 15:16, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
LOL - so true! BollyJeff | talk 15:19, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
They were adding that to every conceivably related article: Sridevi, FFA, FFA Best Actress, Mr. India, Nagina?, etc. I don't know the present condition of all those. Sridevi's article is in pretty bad shape. Unfortunately, it seems that the only editors willing to work on it are the fanatics. BollyJeff | talk 16:53, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Feedback?

Can you help me understand why you deleted the external link I added? I thought it was very relevant. I'd like to get more involved as a wiki editor again (I tried to get involved in 2007 but gave up as a didn't have enough time) I do now but I'm scared that anything I add or edit will be deleted because I'm new. I hope I have followed the instructions right here Redtango88 (talk) 17:15, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Re: Wendy Williams Talk Page

Please... don't try to speculate as to the thoughts I have regarding Wikipedia's purpose. It's clearly written right here. If memory serves me correctly, you tried serving the same explanation to omit an incredibly notable event in the subject's career, only to be disagreed with by another user. In your attempt to come off as politely condescending, your correspondence comes off as uncivil and overbearing. I cannot speculate as to whether or not that is who you are beyond the reach of the internet, but that's certainly how your thoughts are represented in the section. I'm not sure if you're clear on what the purpose of talk pages are for, so here's a refresher. "A talk page (also known as a discussion page) is page which editors can use to discuss improvements to an article or other Wikipedia page," per WP:TP. Just in case you're rusty, I'd like to acquaint you with some of the guidelines presented here How to use article talk pages. The Discuss edits is one of the principles I abide by, and according to the Make proposals portion, I'm well within reason to suggest material I think is pertinent to the subject's BLP. I'm not in the business of trying to take possession of a particular article per WP:OWNER, but am more interested in reaching WP:CON through discussion with other contributors to the page. By the way, WP:CIV might also be of some assistance. Silver Buizel (talk) 20:33, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Milagrow

Why did the Honour and Recognitions under Rajeev Karwal get truncated? Those were reputed honours received from prestigious bodies..definitely not "unsupported hype". Why was the subsection on "Milagrow" get deleted? It was merely informing..no advertising or promotional feature for sure. I have discussed this issue with PinkAmpersand extensively he gave me approval too "as currently written, I think this has enough sources and doesn't appear to be an advert". We merely want it to be more informative, it is not hype/advertising.marketing in any way Ayush.datta Want an urgent reply from you, since I intend on adding the honours.Ayush.datta (talk) 06:04, 26 April 2013 (UTC)(talk) 08:26, 25 April 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayush.datta (talkcontribs) 08:20, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
