List of Prolific Inventors

Hi Edcolins. I wonder if you'd be kind enough to review List of prolific inventors, which is a new article unreviewed since last October. I've done about as much on it as I can think to do at this stage (appart from maintaining it as new patents continue to issue). Thanks in advance, AlexBartlett4 (talk) 10:26, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Edcolins! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 5 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 944 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Request for restoration

Hi, Edcolins. I have an admin request of you. I picked your name more-or-less randomly from the list of admins; I recognized your ID from some articles (mostly IP law) we've both edited.

This morning,I tagged the talk subpage Talk:Melvin T. Brunetti/OfficialObituary, which I had created some time ago, for a {{db-self}} speedy deletion. No problem with that, so far as it goes; the function of subpage was replaced by the original DJVU-converted PDF I'd uploaded to to Wikisource (since moved to Commons). It no longer serves a purpose on Wikipedia.

Except that I was too quick on the deletion trigger; by deleting the subpage, I just realized I deleted the page that took me an afternoon to copy and carefully format, and I want to copy the text to Wikisource.

Could you please restore Talk:Melvin T. Brunetti/OfficialObituary to my user space (or restore in place, and I'll move it to user space), so I can contribute the text back to Wikisource? Thanks. TJRC (talk) 18:59, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Perfect; thanks very much. TJRC (talk) 17:34, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Ab initio

Hi Ed, I have been editing disambiguation links with wikicleaner. ab initio was on the list requiring re-direct away from the disambiguation page, If you look at the conversation I had with Pol098 on his page, he pointed a similar error. I was trying to correct it, there was a company called Ab Initio as well that pages were getting re-directed to, I moved the company to a different page to avoid confusion and have been reverting my last edits for Ab initio since then. I am sorry for any inconvenience in the mean time, it was a genuine mistake. Thanks--Theo10011 (talk) 20:02, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I tried to revert some of my edits, the disambiguation page is listed as "Ab initio" with A in ab in uppercase So a correct lowercase term ab initio would revert to the aforementioned page. Even if I revert my edits it wouldn't make a difference, both terms point to the same page regardless of the case. Most of my edits for "ab initio" also became pointless since they were intended to point away from the page, maybe I can try to move the page or create another page.--Theo10011 (talk) 20:25, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, I got an admin to move the page and separate the disambiguation page now. I also expanded to the main article, maybe you can take a look if you have some free time. Happy editing to you too!--Theo10011 (talk) 16:42, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Kamil Eltayed/Eltayeb Idris

Hello Edcolins, and thanks for the pages that you have provided to me.

Concerning the middle name of Kamil Idris;the main problem is that there is no rule for writing the arabic names in other languages, i mean if you have an arabic name and want to write it in english , there is no rule that tells which letter in english is corresponding to that letter in arabic, which lead to a different english writings for the same name.This usualy happens when people try to issue an official papers(mainly passport and certificates) and found that their english name is written in a different way than what they used to do.As an example,the name( Mohammed,Muhamed,Mohamed,Mohamad,Muhamat).

Eltayed/Eltayeb:

In Sudan, the name Eltayed(الطيد) is not exist, the known name is Eltayeb(الطيب) which some times is written in English as(Altayeb,Eltayib,Altayib), and that is the middle name of Kamil Idris. I think Eltayed is just a mis-typing in the provided referencen.

In Sudan people do not use the First/Middle/Last name system . Instead the official registering use a Four Name system , which implies that one should be registered using his given name/father given name/ grandfather given name/his father's grandfather given name. as example ,my registered name is Yezeed Jafar Ali Satti, and this is the name which i use in the official papers(passport,id,driving license...etc). Where the registered name of Dr. kamil Idris is Kamil Eltayeb Idris Abdelhafeez.

When people form Sudan comes to the western contries, where they must follow the First/Surname name system; some of them use their forth name as a Surname name and their 2nd and 3rd names as a middle names, as what I a did:

• First: Yezeed
• Middle: Jafar Ali
• Surname: Satti

Other people ignore the forth name and use only three, as what Kamil Idris did

• First: Kamil
• Middle: Eltayeb
• Surname: Idris

The reference which i found for Eltayed/Eltayeb are all in Arabic and can not be used hare .The English ones are even more worse , where it write the name like this(Altayib), but i will keep searching for an official and if i found any i will add it to the references list.

Biography of Roland Grossenbacher

Dear Edcolins, you asked me, why I had been deleting Mr. Grossenbachers middle name. First there is a typing error, Edouart instead of correctly Edouard. Further on, the changes (not mentioning his middle name at all) had been made in accordance with Mr. Grossenbacher himself. As an employee of the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property, I ask you to accept my changes on the biography of Mr. Grossenbacher. Thank you!

Updating "Aerotel v Telco and Macrossan's Application" article now that EPO Enlarged Board of Appeal has provided its opinion in case G 3/08

Dear Edcolins,

Now that the EPO's Enlarged Board of Appeal has responded (on 12 May 2010) to Alison Brimelow's referred questions to it in case number G 3/08 (per http://documents.epo.org/projects/babylon/eponet.nsf/0/DC6171F182D8B65AC125772100426656/$File/G3_08_Opinion_12_05_2010_en.pdf), do you plan to update the Wikipedia article entitled "Aerotel v Telco and Macrossan's Application" (published at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerotel_v_Telco_and_Macrossan%27s_Application#Parallel_procedure_before_the_European_Patent_Office), and in particular that part of the article under the sub-heading "Comparison of EPO and UK practice", and in even more particular, that part of the article which (now) incorrectly says that case number G 3/08 "is [still] pending"?

I could have a go at it myself, but no doubt at least some people would think that I may be biased.

Deleteion alert Vincent de Coorebyter

Another editor listed this article , which you started some time ago, for speedy deletion, As reviewing administrator , I think this indicates at least some minimal importance, so not appropriate for speedy deletion.Nut it must be expanded with a list of his accomplishments and publications, and especially references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. I advise you to do this very quickly, before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process. If not improved, it will, in my opinion, undoubtedly be deleted. DGG ( talk ) 14:30, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Xavier Mabille

The article Xavier Mabille has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unsourced BLP, unclear notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Maashatra11 (talk) 15:03, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry

Hi. I just saw your message about posting references. I didn't realize that cites that provide information were inappropriate simply because of an affiliation. I will not post such things again.

Current Events

To describe categorizing to something akin to that "book" that is mentioned by a discredited essay of dubious reliability is not something that is conductive to the debate, to be brutally honest. Can we at least propose solutions? That's why we are here, right? To improve Wikipedia, not make it worse, or stop it from improving... Kiteinthewind ^{Leave a message!} 18:58, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I now understand your rationale, now that I know you are not trying to sink the proposal by using a completely discredited essay. Given that the efforts only started a few days ago, we are still trying to work out the kinks. I posted a link to the taskforce I created on the top of the thread.

Prosecution disclaimer

Hi Edcolins,

Thank you for your edits. I agree there should be a better citation regarding the evolution of the formal doctrine in the Historical basis section. However, I think the other cites are reliable and used appropriately, since the reference is an article written by a practicing patent attorney and is used for statements regarding present-day patent prosecution practice. If I fix the case law citation, can I remove the warning as well? 72.83.142.166 (talk) 15:10, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

I am totally with Edcolins and have gone further and actively removed your additions. Sorry, but I didn't think they were helpful in making an encyclopedic article about the subject but were written as an advice or how-to guide. My view on patent attorney articles is that they should only be cited if they have been published by someone other than the attorney or their firm. For example, one day I may get around to writing an article about CFPH's applications, in which case I'll probably cite my own article published by the IEEE, but I wouldn't cite any of the other articles I wrote for my old firm's website, even though I researched them all just as carefully.

Proposed deletion of MHG Systems article

Hi, I would disagree with you, about proposition of your article deletion. In my opinion, this article have the right to exist. It is an article about a company, done in a neutral manner, with a clear references of each statement.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:18, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ed, thanks for the note. The 'method' that I added to that page does fit the definition given in the first paragraph. Although analytical methods do relate to science, they don't actually have anything to do with the 'scientific method'.

Hi Ed, This actually is my first edit to this article. This machine may have been used by another individual but this is my first time. The Grammy awards website is certainly a reputable an verifiable source. Please explain how it is not if you disagree. As far as viewing your edits as improvements that is an opinion that you hold and does not mean that it is the only writing style. As I mentioned before we can discuss these edits and create an informative and well written article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.14.149.118 (talk) 00:19, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ed, Please help me understand a "primary source" in this instance. If we need to verify the fact that Grammy awards were given to ArtistShare releases wouldn't the ONLY verifiable place be the Grammy awards website? In this instance where else would we be able to verify this? Please help me clarify this so we do not end up going back and forth on this. 98.14.149.118 (talk) 00:27, 8 October 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.14.149.118 (talk) 00:24, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Ed, OK. That is fine. We will list them one by one and will put a total then. I am assuming that the aggregate number is what is bothering you. How about if we do that?

The Grammy award site is perfectly acceptable for identifying grammy award winners, but it fails to associate those winners with artist share. The artist share site is a primary source which is not suitable for supporting the association of the artist with artist share or the resulting implication that artist share was relevant to the artists's success. For that, a third party source or a statement from the artist (eg on their official site) would be needed specifically attributing artist share. Basically, you can't promote artist share's alleged association with success by quoting artist share's version of events. GDallimore (Talk) 00:33, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ed, Can you let me know why to you declined to unlock the Brian Camelio page? Thanks. 98.14.149.118 (talk) 04:27, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Biased news feed

I am sorry to keep focusing on this subject Ed but the Brian Camelio article you are controlling seems to have been turned into some sort of biased news feed on current events. Why are you insisting on keeping questionable information in there and not allowing folks to edit? You clearly have taken issue with this and rather than let the community correct the article you are refusing to even make reasonable edits. If information is questionable it should be removed until it is resolved. Not the other way around. The way to do it is on the talk page for the article not to hold it hostage.

Understanding sysop guidelines and abuse

Hi Ed, I was just reading the sysop guidelines as I feel that you are unfairly blocking the public from editing an article to which you were a significant contributor - view history. All requests I have made thus far are completely reasonable and have been denied with no conclusive reason. After reading the guidelines of being an administrator and the use of that power I feel like it may not be within the guidelines. Perhaps I am not understanding this correctly and we should bring others in to have a look.

Conflict of interest, non-neutrality, or content dispute – Administrators should not use their tools to advantage, or in a content dispute (or article) where they are a party (or significant editor), or where a significant conflict of interest is likely to exist. With few specific exceptions (like obvious vandalism) where tool use is allowed by any admin, administrators should ensure they are reasonably neutral parties when they use the tools.

Accusal of disruptive editing

Journey and Camelio

Just FYI, I have undone your Journey edit. In five minutes I found three sources indicating that Camelio was not a former member of Journey, including the band's official site. The BBC article is the only source for the reference to Camelio being in Journey, at both the Journey page and the Camelio page. I would say that makes it more verifiable that he wasn't in Journey than that he was. Dave Golland (talk) 19:51, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

The BBC article suggests he was a session player. I am not at all surprised that this is not widely credited. He would only be credited specifically in the album sleevenotes. I fully support Ed and his inclusion of this well verified material. GDallimore (Talk) 20:45, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

I also tried to find independent confirmation of the BBC article and couldn't. If it wasn't controversial, I'd say the BBC is normally enough. But since it is controversial, I see no harm in leaving it out pending independent confirmation.--Nowa (talk) 21:13, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

I have read the credits and liner notes for every Journey release going back to 1975. Camelio has never been a session player for Journey. Also, one article from the BBC can be a mistake (and in this case is a mistake)--so that hardly constitutes "well-verified." I have been writing about Journey for over a decade, and never heard of Camelio before today. Dave Golland (talk) 21:26, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

I agree with the removal. The BBC seems to be an isolated source. I have also removed the information from Brian Camelio. --Edcolins (talk) 09:59, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Living person biography pages

Hi Ed, I see that you once again went in and edited the biography page for Brian Camelio. Why so excessive with the citations? There are plenty of verifiable resources to back up everything on the page. Can you point me to an example of another Biography page you have edited so I can see the rationale behind all of these citations. All of the information in the wiki entry is clearly verifiable in various parts of the page. Do we really need a citation for the same info in every part of the page where it is mentioned? If so, we can but it makes for a difficult read. I also noticed that you added a section called "PATENT DISPUTE" with a paragraph on a laswsuit. I believe we all agreed that these blogs were deemed unreliable as they clearly did not do any fact checking (Dave pointed out the Camelio was never a member of Journey which they all seem to center around). On top of that the information is contentious. Please explain your continued desire to focus on this subject as it is really irrelevant to a biography page. Seems like a tabloid story at best. I look forward to hearing your rationale. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesrand (talk • contribs) 20:53, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
