Carlo Croce

Hi. I saw you created a redicrect page for Carlo Croce. Now Carlo Croce (I guess given the subjects) in this page Sailing at the 1972 Summer Olympics – Flying Dutchman is redirected to Carlo M. Croce. As I am a newby, I am still not sure how to act in this case. Can you take care of it? Thanks Mpaa (talk) 11:51, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Done, the Olympics article now links to Carlo Croce (sailor). -- Brianhe (talk) 15:59, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

File:Everest Masala.JPG

Hi there, can u explain why you nominated this file? KuwarOnline ^Talk 08:45, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Because the product packaging is copyrighted, posting a high-resolution image of it constitutes a reproduction, hence copyright violation. I think this is in WP:COPYRIGHT but I can't look it up right now. — Brianhe (talk) 15:00, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

A note on your recent speedy deletion tagging

Hi Brianhe. Thank you for your work on patrolling pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I just wanted to inform you that I declined to delete Dawesome, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion under criterion G1 because of the following concern: the criterion you used does not cover this kind of page or the reason you specified is not a valid reason for speedy deletion. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion and especially what is considered non-criteria. In future you should rather tag such pages for proposed deletion or start an appropriate deletion discussion. (I did, however, tag the article with a PROD as it doesn't meet article standards per WP:NOTMADEUP and WP:NOTDICT.) elektrik SHOOS 07:44, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Amanda Staveley

On 26 February 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Amanda Staveley, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that before Amanda Staveley reportedly turned down a marriage proposal from Prince Andrew, she was a model and Cambridge student, and later became a self-made multi-millionaire? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

SME Rating Agency of India

I have edited the page for the article SMERA. Please let me know if it meets the notability guidelines for companies and if so, please remove the same from the article homepage. Pratul 08:38, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

It probably does with the press coverage of the ADFIAP award, though more independent coverage wouldn't hurt. The directory listings are less helpful. — Brianhe (talk) 15:47, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

I would like to alert you to the article CRISIL. The company information has been taken word for word from the website crisil.com. Is that permitted? If it is, can I take information from www.smera.in and provide that information? Pratul 18:13, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

No, copyright violation is not permitted ever on Wikipedia. You should be bold and remove the offending content. Brianhe (talk) 20:49, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

I understand I am new to creating articles and hence will take some time to get used to it. But clearly, there is some confusion here. If the article CRISIL can be taken word for word from www.crisil.com without objection, why am I not permitted to do the same for SMERA? Apparently experienced wiki users like yourself are turning a blind eye to copyrighted material in CRISIL but new articles like mine are getting edited for the same reason. Please edit the same on CRISIL and if you can't, please explain why copyrighted material on article CRISIL is permitted while I am not allowed to keep the same in SMERA.Pratul 06:23, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm telling you that you should go fix CRISIL. I don't own it or any other Wikipedia article. And if you go look at my edit history you'll see that rather than turning a "blind eye", I've removed plenty of copyvios. — Brianhe (talk) 07:56, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

By the way "why am I not permitted to do the same..." is not a persuasive argument, read Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. — Brianhe (talk) 08:03, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

I get the point that I can go and fix it...but I am still learning about setting up new articles and getting used to the rules and regulations in wikipedia. So I am not sure if I am abiding by the rules if I delete a whole section of info on other articles. My point is since you are a very experienced volunteer on wiki, you can probably check it out and edit CRISIL. If other articles abide by regulations, then new users like me will have a good idea from you experienced guys of what info we can add on articles and what we can edit. It is far easier to learn from others who have a good idea of what material can be added on wiki than just reading about rules and regulations and interpreting them. --Pratul 14:33, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Can you please provide a response to the above query? --Pratul (talk) 09:02, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I don't see a question here. Check the edit history of CRISIL. -- Brianhe (talk) 15:26, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Its much appreciated that you have edited CRISIL on 28 Feb 2011 after I prompted you. This gives a clearer picture what needs to be done or not.--Pratul (talk) 08:53, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Shahid Balwa airtstrip!

Please read the reference I have cited:

"Home Ministry report says that Etisalat should not come to India but it has been allowed. How can the Telecom Ministry allow it"? he said.

Swamy claimed Swam Telecom promoter Shahid Balwa, arrested for his role in the 2G scam owns a private airport at Palanpur in Gujarat, which is illegal as per the laws of the land.

He said Balwa uses the private airport to travel frequently, even abroad, and may be without informing the authorities.

"Balwa owns private jets and all kind of VIPs and criminals can go from there without any check," Swamy alleged.[1]

There are others [2] [3]. Thanks for patronizing me with the WP legalese. Much appreciated. Now if you will please undo your removal. Nshuks7 (talk) 08:07, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Oops, apparently you have to click 'next' several times on the original source, hence I missed the mention of an airfield. I don't have a problem with the article stating that a claim has been made, currently uncorroborated by any facts or acknowledged by the authorities. Maybe we should let things gel for a bit, after all Wikipedia is not a newspaper. If you don't agree, feel free to bring this up on the article talk page to build consensus. — Brianhe (talk) 08:20, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Oops accepted :) But by that yardstick (of allegations) you will have to delete half the material on Balwa, including Dawood links and list of misdoings, since all of it is under investigation. So either do that or add the airstrip part of it. As for the consensus, and since you quoted a WP policy to me short while back, I am tempted to cite WP:Democracy on this. Since it is an article in development, i.e., mostly "under construction" I would say that it's better to keep building the content up and save the nitpicking for later.

Hello. The copyright holder (the artist/photographer) first needs to choose a license listed at WP:ICTIC, for example GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), choose an attribution requirement, or release it to public domain. Once that's done he/she should tag the image with the appropriate template. There's also a way to send email to Wikipedia, but it's a bit more complicated. — Brianhe (talk) 23:32, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Which is suitable

Context -- Ehsan Sehgal#Literary career and Ehsan Sehgal#Bibliography

Hello dear Brianhe,you removed the reference,and added direct in Biliography,I do not know it is right or not, but the book De wijz weg is with different translations,in biliography ,De wijz weg(The Wise Way) and in literary career,De Wijz Weg (The Wise Road),which translation is suitable, please change it,any one you prefer suitable.Thanks.Ehsan Sehgal (talk) 20:17, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. The two terms are more or less interchangeable in English. For instance, in the city I live in, thoroughfares are called both Way and Street (as well as Road, Avenue, etc.). But the article should be consistent. I'll ponder it a moment and change one. Unfortunately I am not fluent in Dutch, but from my knowledge of German, "way" may be more appropriate. It has a more flexible meaning than something used just for physical transportation, and is consistent with non-use of the term "Strasse" in the original. — Brianhe (talk) 20:26, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

I agree with you.You said may be,but I say surely "Way" was appropriate.Anyhow,thanks for changing.84.82.112.84 (talk) 08:49, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
Sorry forgot to log.Ehsan Sehgal (talk) 08:52, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

In the end I deferred to the original translation provided by Drmies who appears to be fluent in Dutch. It's still open to refinement, however; I see that you have asked some other editors for their opinions. -- Brianhe (talk) 18:27, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

I thought you will prefer "Way",but you didn't,actually it should be refined,let's see what is the Lady's opinion?.As a subject of article I can only request in this regard to avoid conflict of interest,although I assume good faith.Thanks for your assistance. Ehsan Sehgal (talk) 21:08, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi,Brianhe,you are silence,I waited for response of User:Drmies,but I think has been ignored.I will take this matter at my talk page soon.Now I would like to ask you please take a look at reliable sources/noticeboard,and give your opinion and help me in this regard again.Thanks.

It Happened at the World's Fair trestle

Yes, I was afraid this was borderline original research, but I couldn't find any really good sources for the location being the White River trestle. I'm convinced it's not Wilburton, but I don't know how else to approach the problem. By putting it out there, I was hoping someone could help. Comparing the scene from the movie with a contemporary photo of the Wilburton Trestle and a photo of the White River trestle site would help, but the movie is copyrighted, and this would still be original research.

Actually, I did cite one source, but it looks like hastily formed website with a history blub from the city of Buckley. It's out of date too; it implies that the trestle is still standing, when it was demolished around 1981. Arthur Allen 23:50, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Agree, the usacitiesonline source is pretty poor (who publishes this anyway). Maybe opening up a discussion at WikiProject Washington would be fruitful to find better sources? — Brianhe (talk) 03:04, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

I'll have to go to the Enumclaw Library and look for newspapers of the time to see if they mention the shoot. It may take a while until I have the free time. Arthur Allen 04:18, 28 September 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthur Allen (talk • contribs)

You should check this out: http://sites.google.com/site/wafilmlocations/filmsblog/ithappenedattheworldsfair1962 Looks like Wilburton trestle. Brianhe (talk) 06:24, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Those photos actually prove my point. The trestle pictured in the movie is four sections high, and the Wilburton trestle shown is six sections high. You can't see Mt. Rainier while looking at the Wilburton Trestle broadside; the mountain is at the wrong angle in relation to the trestle. Cougar Mountain is in the way, and you may not be able to see Mt. Rainier at all from there. It's unlikely they would have optically added Mt. Rainier to a view of the trestle. There are no other seamless optical shots in the movie. The previous photo on that page correctly identifies Mt. Rainier as viewed from Enumclaw, and the trestle shot shows the mountain with the foothills viewed from about the same angle as the photo identified from Enumclaw. I may have to bring this up with that website. Unfortunately, I found a site that lists only scattered microfilm issues of Enumclaw's newspapers at local libraries. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn87093291/ Arthur Allen 02:49, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

After looking at some maps, I think you're right. Here's hoping for some corroborating sources. Brianhe (talk) 05:26, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

I've also realized that even if I do find a newspaper article about filming in Enumclaw, published before the movie's release, it still wouldn't preclude the possibility that the filmmakers could have shot at Wilburton too, and used that shot. The Enumclaw Library wrote back and said they have copies of the paper from 1962, so that looks promising. And the author of the Washington Filming Locations wrote back saying he'll correct his page based on my suggestions.Arthur Allen 00:49, 30 September 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthur Allen (talk • contribs)

I searched the Enumclaw newspaper for several months around the filming of the movie and found no mention of it. I'm now open to any and all help in documenting the White River Trestle location.

Question for Brianhe

Hello Brianhe -

I read your Yankee Clipper page in Wikipedia with great interest. I'm contacting you because you obviously know a great deal about the period and far more than show in the artivle.

I'm trying to learn about the tender boats of the clippers up to 1855 that would have been used by shore-parties.

How much variation in the number of rowing men was there across the numerous clippers that were built? I'm looking for boats that would normally require 7 or 14 men to row them, because of a pre 1855 literary writing that cites the number 28. Could this be 2 14-man boats, or 4 7-man boats coming ashore from a Yankee clipper? If you know whether one of these sizes was common for the tender, do you also know (from drawings or paintings) which sizes were commonly in use for the specific famous clippers (Flying Cloud, etc) that were visible around the U.S. up to 1855?

I cannot seem to find this information anywhere. My email is C I N N A (dot) M A R Q U I S A (at) Y A H (you know the rest of it) Thanks, Cinna — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cinna3 (talk • contribs) 22:27, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Is this about a disagreement with WLU (talk · contribs) concerning surnames? Has his last edit on your user talk page (17:36, 22 October) put this to rest or are you still dissatisfied? -- Brianhe (talk) 00:43, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes I am dissatisfied because according to WP:SURNAME,this phrase,support my argue as it,

"However, where a person does not have a surname but a patronymic (like some Russians and most Icelanders) then the proper form of reference is usually the given name. For example:

The Icelandic prime minister, Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, should not be referred to as Sigurðardóttir but as Jóhanna; "Jóhanna was elected to the Althing in 1978.":

Umaira Ahmad is given name,Ahmad is not a family name and she is famous and known Umaira Ahmad.

A tool for you!

Hi Bri! I've just come across one of your edits (or that you have been patrolling new pages), and noticed that you might appreciate some help with references.

I case you're not aware, you might consider using this tool – it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script:

// Add [[WP:Reflinks]] launcher in the toolbox on left
addOnloadHook(function () {
 addPortletLink(
  "p-tb",     // toolbox portlet
  "http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/webreflinks.py/" + wgPageName 
   + "?client=script&citeweb=on&overwrite=&limit=30&lang=" + wgContentLanguage,
  "Reflinks"  // link label
)});

onto Special:MyPage/skin.js, then paste the bare URL (without [...] brackets) between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for PDF documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. So long! --Sp33dyphil © • © 05:15, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

No problem, it looks like Biker Biker clarified it already. I wanted to send you a note last night because my edit summary was so brief, but you beat me to it. Cheers! Brianhe (talk) 17:26, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Revision of my article

Dear Brianhe, thank you for your cooperation helping me to improve my article about Andrés Durán on Wikipedia. I have been learning the links you have recommeded me, althought there are some things I do not understand very well. But I guess it is a matter of practice and patience. I also appreciate your help with my other article, El Expreso del Rock. I guess I will make many mistakes while I learn how to work for Wikipedia, so please excuse me in advance. Kind regards, (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:44, 15 November 2011 (UTC).

Howdy, I'm glad to hear from you and look forward to your contributions. Please remember that Wikipedia is collaborative and nobody owns an article. So saying "my article" might get a reaction from other editors. — Brianhe (talk) 02:41, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
