Rhode Island Red, at it again

Can you please intervene on the Julia Havey article. Rhode Island Red has taken it upon himself to undo edits and make the article basically non existent. He took off all documented appearances, links, mention of endorsements, everything and it is all because of the personal agenda on the Juice Plus article because she dared edit 'against' his opinion.

This is ridiculous that no one stops this jerk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.40.232.236 (talk) 22:58, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Friends2support page deletion enquiry

Hi Kusma,

I see that Friends2support page was deleted, as it was misinterpreted to be "Unambiguous advertising or promotion."

Friends2support is a non profit NGO based in Hyderabad-India, where people voluntarily pledge their commitment to their society by registering as blood donors online(http://www.friends2support.org). We have 50,000+ donors registered in the last 4 years. We were commended by various leading news papers in Hyderabad & India and decorated with accolades, most recent one being runner-up at world youth summit under the category of FIGHT HUNGER, POVERTY & DISEASE(http://youthaward.org/node/88)!

We wish to have our representation on wikipedia, as it will help people get to know about our organization. Also, we have all the leading news papers citing(written dated proof from news papers) our presence and cause.

Now that you know about our Organization, kindly acknowledge confirming your acceptance of our cause to have a wiki page.

Eagerly awaiting your response, Chandan, Friends2Support.

I am sure that you are working for a good cause. However, the article was not an encyclopedic description of your NGO (that should have started something like "Friends2support is a non-profit NGO based in Hyderabad"), but looked like an attempt to advertise for your organization. Advertising, no matter for what cause, independent of whether you do it for profit or not, is not tolerated on Wikipedia, see WP:NOT#ADVERTISING. Advertising would violate our neutrality policy. Another problem with your article was that it did not give any hints about the significance of the organisation: are there significant third-party sources writing about it? From a quick glance at your news coverage, I could see that it was mentioned many times, but not described in much detail in news media. Check our notability policy, specifically WP:ORG, to see what is usually considered worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. If you are certain your organisation meets these criteria, you may create a new article, but be sure to not just copy from other websites and to cite reliable sources for all of your claims. Hope that helps, Kusma (talk) 13:51, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your pointers. I have completed the article to my best, and I would be thankful if you can do a review and comment on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends2support —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notifychandan (talk • contribs) 10:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Linux templates

These can't currently be speedily deleted without further work as they have incoming links, and another template depends on them. It might be useful to delete that other template and move this one over, but the ones you nominated are not currently redundant. Please use WP:TFD if you think this issue needs to be addressed instead of attempting speedy deletion again and again (you already did so in March). Kusma (talk) 16:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I did so in March, when there was no dependency, and you guys didn't do anything. If you want me to undepend the other and orphan it I guess I can do that. Then maybe one of you admins will do your job? I guess we'll see. ¦ Reisio (talk) 05:11, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

As I found out that the templates were kept at TFD (somebody just posted that on your talk page), please don't do that without previous consensus at Talk:Linux and/or Talk:Linux kernel. Thank you, Kusma (talk) 05:55, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

The template you tagged in March 2009 was deleted on April 13 and then undeleted on May 20 when I untangled the template mess, see the log and User talk:Night Gyr#Template:Latest stable software release/Linux. There certainly was a dependency on the template when you tagged it in March; when it was deleted it broke the infoboxes for both Linux and Linux kernel. As for orphaning them, that won't be possible without removing the infoboxes from both articles completely, which you certainly don't have consensus for.
Removing my previous comments [1] does not make them any less valid and in fact doing so only reinforces my original concerns over your motivations for trying to get these templates deleted. --Tothwolf (talk) 11:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
I removed your comments because they are irrelevant to me, and because instead of letting a duplicate template get removed, you went out of your way to make it more difficult. ¦ Reisio (talk) 18:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't need consensus to replace one utterly duplicate template with another, that is the whole reason it's a criterion for speedy deletion. ¦ Reisio (talk) 18:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

deletion of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marty_Judge

hi i was just wondering why you deleted this page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sangueazul (talk • contribs) 11:53, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

From the article, it was explicitly clear that our criteria for inclusion of people were not met, and in fact, it qualified for speedy deletion for not asserting the significance of its subject. Or more simply: Wikipedia does not carry articles about random 16-year olds. Kusma (talk) 12:00, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

he's not a random 16 year old, marty judge is an australian footballer. it is my first time using wikipedia and im sorry if i didnt get it quite right when i was making his page, but i dont see any reason for having it deleted.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sangueazul (talk • contribs)

Please see WP:BIO for our inclusion criteria and check whether there are published reliable sources about this person. The reason we delete pages on people that do not seem to be notable is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not the White Pages or Myspace. Kusma (talk) 12:09, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Cactus 1549

That was an error on my part. I was actually going to R3 Cactus fifteen forty nine, but I think I mixed up my tabs on Firefox. There are more than too many abnormal redirects for this page (over 50), so I'm going to take a few to RfD, so I'll take care of that at the same time. Cheers. -SpacemanSpiffCalvin‡Hobbes 04:31, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead. I'm not actually sure we really need the redirect where I declined the speedy either, I just think it didn't qualify for speedy deletion. Kusma (talk) 04:37, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Protection and templates

Recently I've had to fix an "incorrect protection template error" on pages you had changed. like on Template:Stub-Class td. When you change the protection level of a template, please remove the text {{pp-template}} from it. Debresser (talk) 19:26, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

About 'the other' Prussia

Kusma, you edited at Georg Forster. Please read the reference books I put on talk: Royal Prussia [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Royal_Prussia&oldid=303580181#Western-Royal-Prussia_distinct_political_body.2C_independent.2C_nothing_in_common_with_Polish_Republic.. including the Staats-Verfassung- Constitution, printed in 1762 in Danzig etc. Thank you Observing 71.137.200.221 (talk) 19:13, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

From the English-language source, one reads that Royal Prussia was as independent of "Poland" as the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was (under the same king). That makes it more appropriate to link it to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth than to Prussia, of which it only became a part later (of course, what really happened is that Prussia became part of Brandenburg, and the Elector of Brandenburg became King in Prussia, and later on, the whole country was called Prussia). Really, Prussia is an article about the lands rules by the Brandenburg Kings, and West Prussia was not in this "Prussia" in the time we're talking about. Kusma (talk) 19:22, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

-

What we are talking about is the name of the contry (countries)... no part was ever called Poland or Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, or anything like it (these are later inventions).

When the Land-Country of Prussia became politically divided, the reference was to the Prussian countries (plural), Preussische Lande. The names remained Prussia, the people remained Prussians, and just to identify the different political situations one part was referred to as Prussiae Occidentalis or Regal Prussia, later Polish Prussia and instead of Occidentalis in German West(Preussen) and the eastern part or Prussiae Orientalis as Ducal or Brandenburgian or Ost(Preussen. The two parts of Prussia West and East) and the Ermland/Warmia part, governed by Prince-Bishops were all together parts of the Altes Preussenland (Ancient Prussia).

So if you want to connect western Prussia to somewhere, connect it to Ancient Prussia, Altes Preussenland or to Preussische Lande- Countries or States of Prussia.

The claims nowadays are wrong, false, incorrect and untrue, as unfortunately much in Wikipedia, that the name of the country was Polish-Lithuania or Poland. Observing 71.137.200.221 (talk) 20:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't see any modern references that do that. Kusma (talk) 05:52, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Stephen Parkhouse

I beleive Stephen Parkhouse meets wikipedia's criteria as he plays in a notable league with a notable team, and ive added 3 sources to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:80SRFC80/Stephen_Parkhouse If you could do with this, what you did with Rafael Cretaro's page, that would be great. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80SRFC80 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

You could just move it yourself if you want: Just click Special:MovePage/User:80SRFC80/Stephen_Parkhouse and remove everything but "Stephen Parkhouse". Kusma (talk) 09:56, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

support for FA on German Unification

Kusma, I know you're away, but leaving this message for your return. Last month German Unification was not promoted to FA because, apparently, not enough people had taken the time to read and comment. If I nominate it again, will you read it (it's lengthy) and comment? Auntieruth55 (talk) 16:43, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I've renominated the Unification of Germany article. There is some documentation and rationale for things on the talk page. I think we're reasonably good on it. I'd appreciate your support. Auntieruth55 (talk) 14:51, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Kusma, I found your name at wp:Translators available and am wondering if you could help me out by translating a very short page from the German Wikipedia.

Request for assistance: WikiProject Slovenia

Hi, Kusma! Could you please have a look at the template {{WikiProject Slovenia}} and help me correct the mistake that prevents it from showing class=B appropriately (for an example see Talk:Sava). Thanks a lot. --Eleassar my talk 07:45, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I think that (displaying C) is a feature, not a bug, if you have the B checklist in your template. The article is not known to be B (checklist not completed), so it is assumed to be C. — Kusma talk 21:06, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
