Matsuo Sugano

Thank you for expanding and verifying the page on Matsuo Sugano. I'd put the page up for deletion since it's one brief unsourced line had remained untouched since it's creation in 2004. I'm glad it got the attention of someone who could improve it.Amentet (talk) 00:56, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Happy to be of service. There are several pages on amateur Japanese astronomers. I don't know that they can really be expanded much beyond Start class, but there are mentions of them in the JPL database and books such as the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names.

Italic languages

I appreciate the clarification, and after looking at the definition, doesn't it seem to be applied incorrectly in the article? It's a list of Spanish words that are (maybe this is a layman's term) "loan words" from the Italian language, whereas Italic seems to encompass other Romance languages as well. In any event, I think that in the case of a Wikipedia article, it should be assumed that the reader doesn't know much about the subject and is consulting the article to learn more. I didn't know the definition of Italic from reading the page, and I'd say that it's true of most people. Mandsford (talk) 19:35, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Quite so. Both Oscan and Italian are Italic languages, so the usage in the title is correct. But since the lead section doesn't explain that, it's unhelpful. If the page is kept, this should be addressed. A further complication is the fact that Spanish is also an Italic language, as are Catalan and Galician. Cnilep (talk) 19:48, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia mirror showing copyright notice

{{adminhelp}} There must be some notice board meant for this sort of question, but as I don't know which one, I'll note it here and call for general admin help.

While patroling new pages I came across the the web page http://www.72vanityunfinished.co.cc/wiki.php?q=H.N._Swanson. The page contains the content from H.N. Swanson and cites that Wikipedia page as its source, but it adds the notice "© 2010 http://www.72vanityunfinished.co.cc/". This seems to violate WP:CC-BY-SA. Should I mention this to Wikimedia or something? Cnilep (talk) 21:00, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I'll leave the "adminhelp" tag in the hope that someone more knowledgeable will come along, but my impression is that there's not much to be done, and I doubt if the Foundation will be interested. WP:Mirrors and forks discusses the situation and gives a procedure for complaining, but implies that it's best done by someone who has contributed to the article in question, so that his copyright as author is being infringed. The talk page of that page does not seem very active. JohnCD (talk) 21:15, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

It's a fairly new page. I was patrolling the backlog and looking for copyright vio. Thanks for your advice. Cnilep (talk) 21:17, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I meant the talk page of WP:Mirrors and forks, which I thought of as a possible place for you to post about this; but the last entry there is three months ago. JohnCD (talk) 21:32, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I see. Maybe I'll try there anyway. Cnilep (talk) 21:40, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Steven St. Croix

Thank you very much for your work on Steven St. Croix. I appreciate it greatly that you helped source one of our unreferenced BLPs in an area that could be very bad for us if our information is wrong. Thank you, NW (Talk) 16:08, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

History merge

Will the merge happen on Prostitution in Asia now that it's tagged? Or does a admin need to be notified that? Thanks. EeepEeep (talk) 19:38, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

The admin who performs the deletion should also perform the history merge. I don't think there's anything else that you or I need to do. Cnilep (talk) 20:23, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Merge of Headset (telephone/computer)

I'm glad you noticed the prod on there since I don't think there's any chance it would be an uncontroversial deletion, but I don't think those two topics are in need of a merge. The Headphone topic, by its own terms covers a different criteria (headphones with microphones). I'd appreciate any input you have on the talk page. Shadowjams (talk) 03:42, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't claim any expertise in headphones/headsets, but didn't want the information to be lost. If the Headset (telephone/computer) can be cleaned up to satisfy the issues raised in the various maintenance tags, that's fine by me. Cnilep (talk) 14:32, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Merge discussions

Hi Cnilep, I was just on new page patrol when I stuck on the merge tags, I think they were warranted, but I also don't have enough particular interest in any of them to spend a lot of time debating it, I was mostly just putting them up for the benefit of active article editors there who may want to be alerted of possible duplication of effort. But thanks anyway for asking me to be involved! Montanabw^(talk) 05:12, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough. I don't have particular interest in either topic either, but thought it would be good to have a place to discuss the proposed merger. Cnilep (talk) 14:34, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Back to School Backpacks, Inc.

Thank you for the help. How would i go about doing this article incubator? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexGreer13 (talk • contribs) 17:50, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

I have moved the page to Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Back to School Backpacks, Inc. You can edit it there. Note that articles from the incubator generally require at least two reliable sources before they can be moved back to main article space. The article also needs to be written from a neutral point of view. Cnilep (talk) 18:06, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

-Alright thank you i will work on that--AlexGreer13 (talk) 18:09, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
