Straits Times Life! story on Singapore Wikipedians

Hi,

Hope you are not busy with exams or something. I'm a journalist with Straits Times Life! section, and am working on a story for this Sunday about Singaporean Wikipedians, and the trend of Wiki-ing here. Am hoping to speak with you about it. Could you give me a call at <deleted> or email at <deleted>? Much appreciated. Thanks!

How come the image uploader in wikipedia do not accept .bmp format?

BMP is not a standard Internet picture format. When you go to the upload form, you can see what are the types of pictures that can be uploaded. Kimchi.sg | Talk 10:11, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

sgForum History

Im wondering if you're wiling to specify the past of sgForums?I have seen a what seems to be an old website of sgForums which is different from the pesent..mind checking on that and putting the info on the page?

You will see lots of old versions of sgForums using the Wayback Machine. Just enter the URL into the box in the middle of the page and click "Take me back", it will show you all the old versions that the Wayback Machine cached. Kimchi.sg | Talk 14:55, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Singapore Human Rights

In regards to your POV deletions (I mean you're from Singapore), ill remind you that I am going to continue to compile Human Rights abuses in Singapore and publish them on the Singapore page. Other nations have "human rights" issues on their page, and so should Singapore with such a SHOCKING record for a self proclaimed DEMOCRACY.

Everytime you delete my work, ill replace it with even more evidence and more abuses. Ill check the Singapore page multiple times a day even to make sure my work is there and if not add more to what I previously added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattrix18 (talk • contribs)

What a brilliant idea! Except that you're not the first person to do it. Your edit was just basically a repetition of the entire paragraph before yours. Right down to the figures: According to an Amnesty International report, 400 people were hanged between 1991 and 2004, which the report claimed is "possibly the highest execution rate in the world" per capita. Although the Government claims this figure to be false and exaggerated, it has not provided information that would refute Amnesty International's report.

P.S. The United States' naval base at Guantanamo Bay is such a shining paragon of human rights, don't you agree? Kimchi.sg | Talk 07:21, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Producer of Bítið Fast í Vítið?

How do you know the name of the producer of Bítið Fast í Vítið? I mean, Dóra Einarsdóttir is credited in the EP as umslag, and that means "album" in Icelandic, but producer is "stukustjörn" or something like that (I don't remember now).

RE: Succession box

Hi Kimchi,

The reason why do I put User:ImpalerBugz as inactive. I know about him having three edits last month (and on one single day), but other than that, he's not active. That's why he is considered inactive. This may sound a little bias, but I don't think to put him as active is appopriate, after a hiatus of almost five months. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 14:11, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I love Kimchi

the hot vinegar cabbage salad, that is. I also appreciate User:Kimchi.sg's restoration of content on the Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons_controversy page. User:Netscott is trying to nail me on a three-revert violation, after having tried for most of the day to keep content out of this article that describes it in any way other than a conflict between religious zealots and free speech advocates. I have meticulously documented the <40 words I've added to that page, I've refactored, I've negotiated, but Netscott and another editor are determined to delete my documented references to how the controversy is unfolding when they don't agree with the people who's discourse I cite. PaxTerra 14:12, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Would you mind taking care of this again? An unregistered edit is pushing their viewpoint by claiming anything else is POV, and netscott is complaining that I've reverted too many times. OTherwise I'll have to fix it later. [1] PaxTerra 16:39, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Replied on PaxTerra's talk

Response to Kimchi from PaxTerra user page:

Fair enough. What I want is to cite precedent under International law for capital punishment in propaganda crimes. Otherwise, the article implies it is at most a hate crime, which pushes the pov that anyone who says it is more is an extremist. So to provide neutral context I referenced international jurisprudence for neutral context without reference to Streicher. P.S. I honestly don't have a pov on this - I am a scholar of communication and recognize it when people draw circles that isolate certain interests as extreme. That is what I am working against. For all I care, I could draw and publish cartoons of anyone in the world, but I wouldn't want to do so in ignorance of how some people might view them. PaxTerra 17:14, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the footnotes!

Thanks for fixing the footnotes on Oral contraceptive -- it's much appreciated. Catamorphism 10:58, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Muhammed cartoons

Hi, you removed the image in the article using the popups revert functionality. There is a clear consensus to keep the images in the article, and in any case you should not be using revert for something like this. It's possible that you made this edit by accident, in which case forget about it. Cheers, jacoplane 08:18, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Yeah, I know it is crazy to the level that people will go to save pages to sites they are affiliated with. I did put up a speedy deletion template but they removed it. I know wiki policy enough to understand that revert wars are bad so I'll leave it as it is. But I have informed the administator who closed the afd vote about the incident. They have also seem to gathered around another article I listed for afd and are resorting to name calling. "Kids these days..." It is getting ridiculous--Jersey Devil 01:05, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Reply

Personally, I feel that having hidden comments on the articles would look rather distracting to users. I did not eliminate the comments completely; you can find them in the talk page. I believe, that if an editor meets up with some problems on editing, he would naturally consult the discussion page first. Furthermore, unless it is a serious problem such as errant vandalism like those on George W. Bush, I personally strongly discourage hidden comments, especially those that are relatively trival in nature found on Rajaratnam. Mr Tan 13:10, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

The edits to my user page were just by a friend of mine. Please do not consider her a vandal.

Regarding my user page, I would actually prefer to see what vandals leave in the future, so I will thank you to not revert it.

Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, Kimchi.sg/Older messages, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. A spam list is maintained by Redwolf24 to keep members up to date; you might want to consider adding your name to the list. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee , Flcelloguy, Ryan Norton, and Acetic Acid. The elections have ended.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me via email or talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

Thanks!

Socialist Organizer on Wikipedia

I'm the contributor of this piece, and I'd like to know what you think needs to be done about it. I'd appreciate suggestions from people who think it needs work, not just to have it tagged with {{advert}}, which I just find annoying.

cargohook 23:32, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

The current problem with the Socialist Organiser article is exactly what the {{advert}} tag says — it reads like an advertisement for the party.

• For instance, there is an over-emphasis on the ideology behind the party. Compare this with the article Labour Party (UK), which largely focuses on significant events and people in the party.
• Also, the article states, "it has focused on helping to advance the struggle for independent political action by the working class and all the oppressed—at home and abroad." — how?
• There are no third-party links or newspaper articles mentioned in the article.

For thease and other reasons, the {{advert}} should stay, until others can edit the article to make it conform to the neutral point of view (which Wikipedia requires for all articles, Socialism-related or not). Please read this for details of this "no propaganda or advocacy" requirement. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 07:57, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks to Paul and Kimchi for your helpful hints. Kimchi's right, the base for this article was the front page of the organization's official site. I've just started to work on it, this is virtually a stub, and it will be continually improved and expanded over the next weeks. So I just ask other Wikipedians to be patient with me on this. One idea I have would be to compare and contrast Socialist Organizer's positions with the criticisms of other progressives; that means that arguments for and against S.O.'s positions would be explored. Do you all feel that this would help in dealing with the POV/advert concern? Thanks for your patience, just keep in mind, I'm new at this and still learning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cargohook (talk • contribs)

Yes, please include alternative points of view and coverage of the party from non-party sources when possible. This will help the article to be more NPOV. However, don't remove the {{advert}} tag just yet — it places the article in a "cleanup" category, and people looking for stuff to improve will be more likely to discover the article. Cheers, — Kimchi.sg | Talk 12:19, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Sweden democrats Nordic Council story

The Nordic Council and the Nordic Council of Ministers is a cooperation forum for the Parliaments and governments of the Nordic countries. Søren Espersen is the spokesman for Danish Peoples’s party regarding foreign affairs and a member of the Nordic Council.

The answer came from Jens Orback, Swedish minister for Democracy. This story was reported in both Danish and Swedish media about one year ago. Why shold this story not be on Wiki? SweHomer 22:50, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

"This story"... what story? If as you say, "Søren Espersen is the spokesman for Danish Peoples’s party regarding foreign affairs and a member of the Nordic Council.", this information should be added to the Sweden Democrats article in an appropriate place. As it stands now, Sweden democrats Nordic Council story is a long, rambling prose in the form of a "letter to the editor" that hides very well any "story" that it may have. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 00:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

Reach out Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Wikipedia to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience: "No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Wikipedia's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention." Stress Alerts The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them. Note from the editor Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!

The last AC meeting (full log) Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen. Signed...

Kimchi.sg/Older messages, thank you for supporting me in my recent RfA.

If and when that day comes, I hope you will once again support me. If at any time I make any mistakes or if you would like to comment on my contributions to Wikipedia, you are more than welcome to do so. Regardless of your religious, cultural, and personal beliefs, I pray that whatever and whoever motivates you in life continues to guide you on the most righteous path. --- joturner 07:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #2

Barnstar Brigade The Barnstar Brigade is a new program aimed at giving more very deserving yet unappreciated users barnstars. It will officially start on 2006-04-09, but signing up is encouraged before this date: "Here in Wikipedia, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Wikipedia has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated." Stress Alerts The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them. Information Welcome to the second issue of the new format Esperanza Newsletter - we hope you still like it! This week, it was delivered diligently by our new dogsbody. MiszaBot (run by Misza13): any execution complaints should go to him. Content comments should be directed at the Esperanza talkpage. Thanks!

The last AC meeting (full log) The next elections: Approval voting as before and, also as before, an previous leadership member can run. Please submit your name for voting in the relevant section of this page. Voting starts on 2006-04-23 and ends on 2006-04-30. There will be three places up for grabs as KnowledgeOfSelf is leaving Wikipedia. Please see the previously linked page for full details. The Code of Conduct is now ready for extensive discussion! Specific comments should go to the Code of Conduct talk page, discussion of having one at all should be directed to the main Esperanza talk page. The current process for accepting proposals for new programs has been deemed fine. All Advisory Council members and the Admin Gen are to endevour to be bold when viewing discussion. If they feel that consensus has been reached, they will act accordingly. A plea from the editor... The propsed programs page is terribly underused! Please leave any comments, good or bad, on the page, to help us determine the membership's thoughts on the ideas there. Signed...

Cantonese

You mean you speak Cantonese at home? In that case, you can catch up with the spoken characters easily - when you try to write anything, use your mouth to speak it up instead of attempting to type directly. Then for each word you speak (use a mic to record it and playback, maybe?) turn it into a word and type. Anyway nice to hear that you actually speak Cantonese. --Deryck C. 04:16, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I've never been typing Cantonese from an linux. I typed all my Chinese from HKSCS-enriched windows computers. Alternatively, as the HKSCS words are available on the edit toolbox of Cantonese Wikipedia, any computer with Chinese IMEs will do. --Deryck C. 14:52, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.1 is Now Available For Download

Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks.

Andy Miller

Mate what have you done with this article? I know Andy Miller's band is Hey Gravity, its on myspace and Andy has confirmed this to me.

Where do you get M.A.S.S from? And did you delete the Hey Gravity page?

What are you playing at mate? Check your facts. GWP 11:47, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

OK. I reverted my changes to your version. But added in this link. M.A.S.S. looks like the former group of another singer in Hey Gravity!.

And it wasn't me who deleted the page. Please look at the "pages started" section on your user page and you will see a few red links, which means that the page has been deleted, by a sysop. I'm not a sysop so I cannot delete pages at all. Kimchi.sg | talk 10:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

After taking a look at Dodgy, I decided to just make your article into a stub. It has very little information on Andy himself, and a lot on Dodgy and Hey Gravity!, which belong more properly in their respective articles. Kimchi.sg | talk 14:03, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

SARX

I noticed that you proposed a deletion for SARX saying that they don't have a fanbase throughout bc. i live in kamloops and have been to 3 of their shows in the past 6 months at 2 different bars and the second two times the bars were basically packed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by bcforlife (talk • contribs) 13:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

How can I just take your word for it? If they are really well-known, their songs will probably receive radio airtime or get written about in some newspaper. But the article does not mention this.

In other words, although I like the name of this group (and I said so right from the start in the deletion debate), if the band does not meet Wikipedia's band notability guidelines, the article on the band may be deleted. Kimchi.sg | talk 10:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Admin coaching

It looks like we've been assigned User:EivindFOyangen to coach under the admin coaching program.

Check the deletion logs. That page has been deleted soo many times it's not funny ;D! 68.39.174.238 04:25, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I would, but personal experience with things like that seems to show that things like that come across in the worst way, IE. a friendly request becomes an order, either explicitly by improper wording, or implicitly by reading between the (nonexistant) lines. I try and keep most of my 4th wall usrtalkpage communications couched so its extremely hard to read anything imperative out of them. It's not that big an annoyance, so I'm willing to just {{db}} it when I notice that tab's blue. 68.39.174.238 04:50, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

The matter of 'Wuxia' and 'Mohop'

Sorry, I happened to be the chap who modified the wuxia to mohop/wuxia. It is the same characters in Chinese but mohop is more universally used by normal Hong Kong Chinese (I was one of them, now an expatriate in the US). Wuxia is generally used by the mainlanders, Taiwanese, and others who speak Mandarin. Prior to the handover to the People's Republic of China, HK predominately speak Cantonese. No offense to Mr .(?, sorry) Kimchi but it appears his country identifier seems to be Singapore. This being an article on HK, I believe I owe it to the HK citizens who are proud to have created the mohop/wuxia phenomenon and have annotated it as such in their honor. If the Mandarin speakers wish to call it 'wuxia', ok but we Cantonese, Hakka, Tanka Hkers and ex-HKers know it only as 'mohop' or the whatever dialectical name (but 'mohop' will suffice). By the way, I only changed the 'gongfu' to 'kung fu' whenever it was a HK production orf mention not when it was not. Lastly, I reside (still) in a free and democratic society with flaws but nevertheless still free and if wikipedia still stands for freedom and honour then please permit me to modify the mandarin wuxia to Cantonese mohop. Pre-revolutionary China may have made 'wuxia' but HK made 'mohop'. It is one of the HK's more endearing legacies before the 1997 takeover. Please restore the changes or allow me to restore the changes and you chaps can supervise or edit it. Thank you.

                                                                                        Anonymous but still an HKer.

If you wish to challenge the naming, please post your requests on the Talk:Hong Kong action cinema, as it will be seen by those who frequently edit the article. I will only say here that your point is strange, the article has been edited quite extensively by native Hong Kongers and they, not me, are the ones who have settled on "gongfu" and "wuxia".

Hi! Is your bot game for another archiving job? The archive section of Template talk:Did you know, which is humongously big at the moment, needs to be archived to Wikipedia:Recent additions. In conjunction, Wikipedia:Recent additions will also need archiving to [[Wikipedia:Recent additions ''x'']] as necessary.

This job was once done by AllyUnion using a bot whose code can be found at User:AllyUnion/did you know.pl, but hasn't been done for more than 2 months now.

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

Administrator Coaching The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. Stressbusters The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome! Note from the editor As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!

The last AC meeting (full log) Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct. Referendums are to be held on whether terms of AC members should be lengthened and whether we should abolish votes full stop. Admin Coaching reform is agreed upon. Signed...

RfA offer

Hello Kimchi. I had planned to make a run at the end of May, but I definitely won't be going "now" (at least in the next week) because I suspect that Anwar saadat will launch an attack, based on his comments at my editor review. This was due to a dispute at Talk:Ajith about his repeated use of the terms "mega-star", "mega-hit", "!" in a very hagiographic manner, in which he accused User:Zora, User:Ganeshk, User:David Crawshaw, myself of trolling and vandalising for trimming the article, and then started to behave in such a way as to irritate most of the Indian noticeboard by leaving abrasive edit summaries in Tamil - see Wikipedia talk:Notice board for India-related topics, and raised eyebrows at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Re:_User:_Anwar_saadat, and left rude comments to Indian bureaucrat Nichalp at User talk:Anwar Saadat/Archive 2. He also made his RfA debut at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Srikeit to oppose on the grounds of not having featured material - I have never seen anybody oppose due to lack of featured content, which may have resulted from Srikeit asking him to keep cool on Talk:Ajith, which was their only interaction. If a lot of Indian editors kept a close watch on the RfA and defended me, (as Nichalp did when Anwar tried to gatecrash the Aucaman arbitration and decided to try and get Zora banned), it would make it better, but I think Anwar might be able to sway people who are not particularly familiar with me, so I would prefer to wait at least two more weeks to see how this issue pans out, rather than pass through in a somewhat undignified manner.

Also, User:Srikeit, User:Snottygobble and User:I@n had started work via email on a joint nomination, as they had already individually expressed interest in nominating me.

I was pleasantly suprised at the support, and was touched by it. I will also work harder on preventing disputes and boosting my edit count (which is on the up), so thank you to all your objectors. Hopefully I will re-apply soon and try again for the mop. Thanks again, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers}

My 23 Edits

I don't mean to be confrontational, but I wanted to respond to your comment about how I only have 23 edits here. I realize that that may strongly influence the perceived validity of my opinion on whether or not Rmrfstar should become an admin. However, I'd like to point out that I actually know that user personally and I only commented on things I actually know about him "real life" instead of what kind of a Wikipedian he is. I don't think that you can base the validity of my comment that he is trustworthy on how many edits I have on Wikipedia. Also, thank you for welcoming me to Wikipedia. --Jsherman256 00:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry, it's not questioning your ability to comment on Rmfstar's personality... it's just common at Wikipedia to note when a user with a small number of edits votes on RfA or AfD, as it is often a sign that they were invited to do so by someone else (or may be a sockpuppet). It's not always the case, though. Tijuana Brass^¡Épa!-E@ 05:09, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kimchi, thanks for supporting my request for adminship! Unfortunately, it ended with a final tally of 45/15/2, no consensus. I may have another go in the near future, once the school year is over. Thanks again! -- getcrunkjuice^contribs 22:06, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: translation request

Hi. It's true that i am a Vietnamese and my religion is Buddhism. But I am not a researcher in Buddhism, as in I don't study Buddhism theory in details. Since the article you specified contains too many vietnamese Buddhism terms that are difficult to translate into English, I am afraid that I cannot translate it properly without the help from an expert on the topic (a monk, nun, or a Buddhism researcher, ...). For your reference, Vietnamese doesn't have the Buddhism terms of its own - most of the terms found in the article are derived from Chinese (hanzi dialect), with the pronunciation changed a bit to match the Vietnamese style. Sorry. Mdanh2002 02:20, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi there Kimchi.sg . I might just butt and try and help on this. As you can see on my userpage I don't have much faith in my Vietnamese abilities, but I do have a Vietnamese -> English Buddhism glossary-dictionary which was published by a local monk I know of to help people like me I guess. It's about the Surangama Sutra, I think that's why the author used KLN1 for Kinh Lang Nghiem Book 1 (my computer doesn't have diacritic buttons). Regards, ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 02:31, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I did the first paragraph. Please see if they correspond. I'm no expert in Buddhism, it looks like a personal interpretation rather than a particularly strict encyclopedic material. Regards, ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 02:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC).

Glad you liked the page - it was one I knew would need a little care, as both the scientific name (Hamadryas) and the common name (Cracker) have other meanings in Wikipedia. Figured I'd get that straight while I was thinking of it.Dyanega 17:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Question about Burn bag page

No, not the grammar edits you made. Rather, the table you made. It appears to conflict with the photo in the article when viewed from my computer (1024X768). Screenshot here. Want your opinion on how to correct it. Thanks. --293.xx.xxx.xx 22:04, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll try fix it since it was my doing. Because I made the quotation from the Executive Order display as preformatted text, it ignores line wrapping and I forgot to preview it at lower resolutions. Whoops. Kimchi.sg 01:58, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I've fixed the bug, by 1. moving the image up, and 2. changing the preformatted text to <blockquote> which lets the browser wrap the lines. I've tested under Minefield (Firefox nightly) and Opera at 800x600 resolution.

P.S. My university's stupid proxy blocks any URL with "xxx" in it, hence I cannot reply to you on your talk page. This is darn irritating! (it also does the same thing with "sex" and "whore" though.) Kimchi.sg 02:25, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:Floodgap gopher in firefox 1.5.PNG listed for deletion

I have listed Image:Floodgap gopher in firefox 1.5.PNG, an image you uploaded, for deletion. I replaced it with Image:Gopher in Firefox 1.5.png for the following reasons:

1. The screenshot in the original was too large.
2. The text in the screenshot used RGB subpixel rendering, which does not display well on CRT monitors and makes viewing difficult on BGR or top-to-bottom RGB/BGR flat-panels.
3. The screenshot showed non-standard window decorations and widgets. This can be confusing for users, and can portray a skewed version of the application or its environment.
4. The screenshot showed unrelated additional content (the other open tabs, Firefox extensions)
5. The icons for the gopher directories and files were not drawn properly.
6. Finally, the proper extension for PNG images is .png not .PNG, which is important for case-sensitive systems.

Anatolia MUD

Hi Kimchi,

I created the "Anatolia MUD" page and I believe you proposed it to be deleted. Would you tell me why you tell me the reason why it is deleted?

I put my comments in TALK:Anatolia MUD. It is short, so I am copy/pasting here.

-- I believe Anatolia MUD is important in the MUD history. You can check the MUD name listed in MUD trees Wikipage. If you google it, you will see that it is very widely used. I am working on improving the article, but I believe deleting straight is not justified.

This is not a commercial project, so posting this at Wikipedia will not benefit me in any way. It is an open-source / free project to benefit the community.

I was trying to put some historical information about how the game came to existance, etc. --

Thanks for your time.

Sincerely, -Serdar

To avoid being deleted, it is not sufficient for an online game just to have its name mentioned on another Wikipedia page. The page must also state in what ways the game is "notable", or special. What most Wikipedia editors consider as "special" for online content (including games such as MUDs) is listed at WP:WEB. In summary, usually a game will need independent reviews in other newspapers or magazines in order not to be deleted.

I find your sentence "If you google it, you will see that it is very widely used." to be untrue. A Google search for Anatolia MUD -wikipedia [3] finds only 57 unique hits. Kimchi.sg 13:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Just place {{unblock|Reason to unblock the IP}} onto User talk:125.236.44.43 and hopefully an admin will come to unblock the IP. But admins may not unblock if the IP has been used for vandalism very recently. You may also want to put {{sharedip|Your school's name}}at the top of the page, but only if this IP is shared by many students in your school (for example if this IP belongs to a library computer).

Assam University

Firstly, repost really isn't supposed to be used for speedy deletions. The copyvio, in the past at least, has been from http://assamuniversity.tripod.com/assam1.htm.

Felipe Calderon Photo

Sorry about the photo, I was trying to quickly correct what had been done to Felipe Calderon´s profile. Somebody had placed a political cartoon that shows him in a bad light, while the rest of the candidates had their normal photos. Due to the fact it was already almost 12 AM and had to get to bed, I quickly placed the photo up out of laziness. It won´t happen again.

Still there has to a frontal shot of Calderon.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Libertythor (talk • contribs) 23:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC+8)

I appreciate your effort to get a decent photo of him on that page.

Vandalism on User:Tijuana Brass

Hi, Kimchi. Sorry, I didn't mean to revert you on User:Tijuana Brass--I didn't get an edit conflict, for some reason. Anyway, TB has declared that he's happy and amused with the dwarves vandalising his page, so I thought I'd not roll back but merely add a sharp-toothed "Darwinbish" to scare the vandalfish.

Adminship and You

Hi,

I am quite impressed with your thoughtful and calm demeanor and obvious dedication to the project. I haven't the faintest idea why you are not yet an administrator (perhaps it isn't to your liking?), but I would be honored to nominate you if that is an avenue you wish to pursue; or, of course, to support you strongly if another nominator is waiting in the wings! ;) Best wishes, Xoloz 16:56, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Just in case you're not checking your watchlist every 2 mins, or more likely that it's got lost in the flood of support, I'm letting you know that I've added an additional question to your RFA. Cheers, Petros471 20:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Heya, please chat with me on irc sometime (irc.freenode.net #wikipedia) , if you'd like my support. (And also, on how to answer Petros471s evil question about Ignore All Rules) Kim Bruning 21:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I may go there at 1300 UTC today, but no guarantees. Personally, I dislike IRC and MSN, because they take my eyes off WP. ^_^ Kimchi.sg 03:46, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello

Hi i was just wondering, can you please ask permsission for someone to create a forum pls? ty.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Necrowarrio0 (talk • contribs) 03:33, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not very sure what your question means. Does it mean, "can you please ask permission for someone to create an article about an online forum?" If that is what you meant, you can go ahead and write the article yourself, but it is subject to our content guidelines, such as what Wikipedia is not and notability. But if you're unsure, just go ahead and write it, we can always discuss its suitability for Wikipedia later. ;) Kimchi.sg 03:41, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh, i meant it so that can Wikipedia create a forum which anyone can talk about anything? Of course, it would be Monitored.

University of Sagar on DRV

Hi (aeropagitica)! Thanks for closing the AfD for this article. However, I have doubts about the decision reached, and have listed it on deletion review. Regards, Kimchi.sg 08:35, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

CorbinSimpson's Request for Adminship

Thanks for voting in my request for administrator rights, even though it failed (13/30/4). Sadly, work has forced me to respond to you all using a substituted message rather than a personalized response. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that administrators, to me, should be chosen and approved by the community, and I will continue working to become a better editor and Wikipedian. No matter what the alignment of your vote was, I will take your comments seriously and use them to improve myself. If you wish to discuss your comments personally with me, I would be more than glad to talk about things since the RfA is now over; just leave your concern on my talk page and we will sort things out. Thanks again for voting, and happy editing! - Corbin ^{Be excellent}

Stuff under redirs

The redlinks in the text made it get flagged by Special:BrokenRedirects. Rob Church nommed me for adminship, once upon a time, then de-nommed me, and, well, it wasn't quite unanimous support. Removing the button wouldn't make a difference- my last block wasn't even using the big red button. The edit conflicts were just a recent flurry of activity in that section (and you should be using the + button to avoid edit conflicts); TB2's talk is much more active. --Rory096 07:24, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Weird, MediaWiki doesn't conflict if you're editing two different sections, so one would think the + would be the same. Maybe someone else was adding a new section too, or something. I'll annoy robchurch in the morning, if I remember. --Rory096 08:54, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Copyvio image tagging

No, I think that tag is more for permission images with fair use rationales, or something (I've actually never seen that particular one in use). It should probably go on PUI, but if it gets deleted that way, it's fine too (though I'm not sure that category is patrolled much). Yes, {{nothanks}} is probably the only template to give him, but personalized messages aren't against the rules! Weird that Tdxiang would tag it like that, he's an experienced editor. --Rory096 08:54, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Greg Bravo and Steam

I nominated Greg Bravo (Gary Scott) for deletion because of false information. I have edited a related site, Steam (band), which is linked to by the Greg Bravo site. I have added the names of the original musicians and sources as well as indicating that the musicians were from Bridgeport, CT. I believe that the anon. users who were vandalizing the Greg Bravo AfD and dispute tags are reverting the [[Steam (band)] article back to a version that is more compatible with Greg Bravo's assertion that he is the lead singer.

Could you advise me what to do, since I do not feel that reverting back and forth with an anonymous editor (who is likely to be the banned Musicknight/Countdewiki) is going to be productive.

I am still looking for verifiable evidence of the names of the touring band in '69-'70. If I cannot find this evidence, I will remove the list of touring band members. --Fortheloveofhampsters 17:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

If the reverting is frequent and the anons have not been willing to use the Talk page for discussion, please submit a request for page protection. An admin will take a look to see if the page should be "locked" to a particular version (it might be to the "wrong" version!) to stop the reverting. Kimchi.sg 20:02, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Basic Vandalism Query

Hello. I've been encountering vandalism in a few on the articles I watch, and would like to do something more than simply reverting the vandal's edits. However, I couldn't figure out the best way to take action. Could you advise please? Wowbobwow12 21:40, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

You should warn a vandal using the {{test1}} to {{test4}} templates after reverting his change. Sometimes it could just be a new user testing if "edit this page" really works, and this will be a polite way of telling him it does (I ran into one such newbie user today). If the user does not stop after {{test4}}, report him to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism for administrator action. Wikipedia:Vandalism has a list of the most common vandalism warning templates, as well as when to use them. Regards, Kimchi.sg 21:53, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

CHEESQUIRE page

You know what, I posted a page, and picture of my Grandfather Cheesesquire. You removed it, stating it was copyrighted from a newspaper. Not only did I plan on adding to it in the future, the article itself was written with my families permission, and the images are form us, as we took them.

I also DID give credit to the writer. However, HE wrote it, WE gave him his information. It is a story about OUR family.

I would have to say it is VERY rude to delete it without warning. I guess it makes someone feel important.

Anyways, I would appreciate it being restored.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Cyndicate (talk • contribs) 13:00, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

If a journalist for The Graham Star wrote the article in his own words and it was published in the newspaper, the copyright for the article would be with the newspaper, regardless of where the journalist got his information from. If you want the text to be available on Wikipedia, please send The Graham Star a letter or email requesting them to either:

1. Make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL at the site of the original publication, or
2. Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions at wikimedia dot org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation.

University of Chicago Science Fiction Club

The University of Chicago Science Fiction Club was the center of the science fiction world in Chicago for at least thirty years. The article I posted covered the years I was active in it. Almost every name mentioned was of someone well known in science fiction fandom. Several were published authors. One was a science fiction publisher. Two were science fiction magazine editors.

By the way, that brings up a point. I realize (and agree with) your efforts to avoid becoming a personal sounding board for anyone. In the usual case, No Original Research is an excellent policy. But what about the case where what is being reported is an eye witness account of events observed as they happened? If the account is reasonably objective, shouldn't it be allowed if the matter otherwise meets the Wikipedia standars?

I feel this can be particularly important with a subject like science fiction, which for many years was dismissed by many as something not worth serious attention. This has resulted in an impoverished written record for the field, or writings in places like letter columns or material published by amateurs.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by LenZettel (talk • contribs) 23:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kelly Roberti

Hi, Kimchi.sg. Speedy delete criterion A8 requires the source to be a commercial content provider - a business that makes money directly from the content that has been copied. You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kelly Roberti as a speedy deletion under A8, but the artist does not make money from the content that has been copied, his biography, he makes money from his artwork. It would have been closer to an A8 if an image of his artwork had been copied, but A8 only applies to text.

His biography may be considered advertising intended to increase sales and make more money, but except in some unusual situations, people do not pay to see advertising. Money must be made directly from the content that has been copied, like a subscription encyclopedia article. Also, posting advertising to Wikipedia helps his business, rather than hurting it. Finally, there is a decent chance that he posted the material himself, giving permission for it to be used. There is a chance that he may try to unrelease it if he was unaware that the content can be edited by others, but there is still a fair chance that he will still let it be posted and he has given permission under the GFDL nonetheless by posting it.

I don't know if you were around when A8 was crafted ("around" meaning participating or reading the discussion), but it was made to only delete material that has almost no chance of being used with permission. Encyclopedia Britannica and the New York Times, for example, are very unlikely to let us use one of their articles after it has been posted to Wikipedia and it is even less likely that someone with the authority to release the article under the GFDL would post the article to Wikipedia himself or herself. Since A8 is so narrow, it is not very useful, but it was crafted this way to make it nearly impossible for content that we might be able to get permission for to be deleted, if the rules are followed.

The commercial content provider provision is ignored by some editors and admins, as is the under 48 hours old provision (included to prevent Wikipedia mirrors being mistaken as sources), and I won't bug you if you decide to ignore it as well. You could try to expand the criterion, instead. This has been unsuccessful in the past, but it might gain consensus now. I'll be offline for a little while, so I won't respond immediately to any replies. Thanks, Kjkolb 04:38, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

iskra deleated?

ok I am confused to how the band iskra fit that criteria. I read all the info on the pages about the criteria. Iskra has founded a genre of music and is exstreamly contraversial in that genre, how is this make them no important enough for a page on wikipedia?

Peacecore 22:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reading our notability ("uniqueness") criteria for music groups. I saw the article claims that Iskra founded the genre of Blackened crust, but a Google search suggests that it is not really a well-known genre at all. There are only 29 unique Google hits for "blackened crust" genre. [4] The second factor that prompted me to delete the article is that it has no links to reliable sources (such as a newspaper or magazine) that discuss the band or mention any of the information in the article.

You may look for references in newspapers or other places (besides the band's own website) that mention the band and its unique characteristics, and re-create the article with links to these references. Regards, Kimchi.sg 14:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

You removed an alert on the grounds it was not recent. Can you please check? Some vandalism (partial page blanking, removal of warnings) was done by the IP today. Andjam 17:05, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I didn't say the vandalism was "not recent", but that both of them had "stopped vandalising" by the time final warnings were issued to them. We don't need to block if the vandal has stopped after the last warning. Regards, Kimchi.sg 17:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

The user removed warnings after being given a final warning for vandalism. Does that not count? Andjam 17:21, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

No it doesn't. The removal of warnings was after I removed the report from AIV. The report was there for a good 12 minutes. At the worst if he insists on removing warnings his talk page may be protected, but the fact is, he was warned only 3 times for vandalism recently (including blanking his talk page). That is insufficient warning to merit a block. Kimchi.sg 17:32, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I presume Andjam is referring to me as the user "he wants to see blocked." Hi, I'm new to Wiki and I must point out that user Andjam and Sdedeo are both blocking any attempts by me to add an npov edit to the article, "CAIR."

First it was the user Sdedeo who tried to deal with my grievances, but since he wouldn't want to deal with me, he alerted Andjam to help him protect the page.

Andjam then revereted all of my previous changes from yesterday (which took me painstakingly 3 hours) on the grounds that 2 phrases didn't adhere to NPOV. I asked him, then why not remove those two phrases instead of my entire edit for the article. I mean that doesn't justify you removing all of my amendments to the article. But he didn't respond and is trying to block me anyway he possibly can.

Now I fear they are trying to boot me from Wiki by using my gullibility against me. I also fear they are trying to quell my protest of neutrality of CAIR article, by reporting me as being a 'vandal.'

I removed part of the article and erroenously pressed the 'saved' button. I then proceeded to remove the warning on the talk page. That function deleted the rest of the article. I apologized saying it was done out of mistake and not out of malicious intent, but the user "andjam" didn't respond.

Could you kindly remove the warnings on my page, or direct me to those in charge of doing that? As you can see both of these users are "teaming up" you can read their comments on andjam's talk page.

I'll really appreciate your help and mediation if you'd be able to read the discussion page for CAIR and tell him to revert to my changes. I even offer lengthy reasons for my edits, but the original user, sdedeo called it blabbering. I would welcome your help.

I can assure you that I have not committed any violation in respect of your concerns and actually own the copyright to www.kelly-roberti.com The text on Kelly Roberti's bigraphy page was given to me by Kelly Roberti to use as I wish.

Now - I would like to know if there is any way of retrieving the article without having to spend time in re-creating it ?

I'd also like to assure you that I am capable and indeed HAVE read all of the guidelines regarding wikipedias strict copyright rules etc.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blastphemy (talk • contribs) 17:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Kelly Roberti page and Blastphemy's response

I see that Blastphemy has restored the entire Kelly Roberti page after you speedy-deleted it. I didn't necessarily expect you to delete it immediately, but thought there might be some discussion. Blastphemy claims that he was given permission to use the copyrighted material. But (1) how can he prove that? And (2) even so, just copying material from a musician's own Web page is, as you know, not acceptable according to Wiki policies. I have marked the page for deletion review again but do not know if I followed the correct procedure, since the whole thing was completely restored by the original author. Could you please look into this further? I will also leave a message on Blastphemy's talk page. Thanks. Alan W 23:22, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Kimchi

But could you please tell me, what I should do when you editors constantly reverting my edits on an article and try and block me? Can I keep reverting to my page?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.225.226.57 (talk • contribs) 19:21, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

No, you cannot. Please discuss on the talk page of the article, listen to other editors, and try to work out which changes to include or not include. Kimchi.sg 03:07, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Response from Miranda (blastphemy) regarding Kelly Roberti contribution:

Hmmmm ... if everybody went around deleting information they had heard or read elsewhere, or that was relatively common public knowledge, I'm not entirely sure that wikipedia would be here!

I can indeed prove that I am the copyright owner of www.kelly-roberti.com and that I have Kelly Roberti's express permission to use his biographical content as and wherever I see fit. Can you prove that you are a fair decision maker ?

Please tell me what you need and where to send the proof of copyright ? And where Kelly Roberti may have to send his agreement ?

If there are any other issues you would like to debate please don't hesitate.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blastphemy (talk • contribs) 02:21, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of 'The Loaded Dog'

How's it going? I just got your message that the article I created was deleted because it was not an actual article, but just Henry Lawson's short story. Sorry about that- I didn't realise. But I just need some clarification. If I write a relatively detailed description of the short story, that's acceptable isn't it? Does this mean that I cannot have the actual story in the article at all? What about Lawson's poetry- are we allowed to use that at all? Thanks! Ackatsis 13:34, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

We can write articles about literary works, but the contents of the works themselves should not be inside the articles, except for quotation purposes. For example, we have an article about Hamlet, but the text of the play isn't in there; instead we store the text of the play at Wikisource. Kimchi.sg 13:27, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I guess I'll just have to include external links to the actual short stories. Ackatsis 13:34, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

It appears that the book was published in 1901, and hence should be public domain worldwide (the 1911 Encyclopaedia Brittanica, which was published even later, is already public domain). Hence you should seriously consider submitting the text of it to Wikisource. It will be made always available and freely sharable, and easier to link to from Wikipedia. Regards, Kimchi.sg 13:39, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of AWIMB

Hi,

Can you explain why you deleted this page please? Was it due to a complaint?

Ben.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.86.213.196 (talk • contribs) 14:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

It sounded like incoherent nonsense to me. If it was a page for an online forum or community, as the reasoning for speedy deletion seemed to indicate, it did not assert the notability of the group according to Wikipedia's guidelines. Either way it was deletion fodder. Kimchi.sg 14:37, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

How I Became The Bomb page delete

you deleted the page i was creating for this up and coming nashville band because i didn't have "references" and they weren't "important"...

just so you know they were mentioned on Pichfork media's website as a part of the Athens Pop Fest they're playing... along people with major record deals like The Apples in Stereo, Circulatory System, Deerhoof, and The Mountain Goats http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/36760/Deerhoof_Mountain_Goats_OhOk_Head_Athens_Popfes

there are local magazine interviews http://www.nashvillerage.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060511/RAGE0203/605110301/1207/RAGE02

they have a video for the song "secret identity" http://youtube.com/watch?v=V8fFx8c3TJI

been featured on podcasts and radio http://weownthistown.net/?p=206

there are good quality photo galleries http://flickr.com/photos/wafflelad/sets/72057594096814777/

people 2000 miles away blog about their music http://www.westondeboer.com/music/how-i-became-the-bomb/

so... just because i didn't have the articles paraphrased or the page done YET... you deleted it. if you don't mind, please let me have it back. i'll have the band history before too long, and then it will go up as well.

that is, if they are important enough. just because they are taking nashville by storm and bringing rise to a genre that isn't heard much in tennessee doesn't mean that you have to delete the page... or does it?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Greet death (talk • contribs) 02:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I will restore the contents of the article to a subpage of your userpage - User:Greet death/How I Became The Bomb, right after I write this comment. Please add more links to interviews and articles about them so that they can satisfy Wikipedia guidelines for inclusion of bands, edit the article there as you wish, then move it back to How I Became The Bomb when you're done (there is a "move page" command at the top of each page you can use).

If the final article does not mention (and provide links to reliable sources that mention) how the band satisfies the guidelines, the article may be deleted again. Kimchi.sg 03:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I have moved the article back to How I Became The Bomb after adding more references. Kimchi.sg 04:49, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

"No consensus" closure on PC Load Letter AfD

Hi,

Could you please add your reasoning in closing the discussion on the PC Load Letter AfD as "no consensus"? In looking over the responses, I see 17 Keep/Merge(11/6) versus 4 Delete comments, which seems to me to be a "keep" consensus.

Thanks for deleting vanity page

Hi Kimchi.sg, Thank you for deleting that vanity page that someone created in my userspace (and how bizarre of someone to do such a thing!) -- All the best, Nickj (t) 07:54, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

You're absolutely correct.

(copied from my user talk page) First off, this is not meant to be a nastygram. If it has that effect, I apologise in advance.

As rewriter of How I Became The Bomb, I have no further comments defending the article other than what I said on AfD. What I want to remind you is: When nominating stuff for deletion, please inform the editor(s) of the page by saying "AfD", "prod" or "db-band" in the edit summary. It's very easy to type, and your not doing it multiple times might lead to others suspecting you of bad faith deletion nominations. It's the very least you can do, for courtesy's sake. Regards, Kimchi.sg 13:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

You're absolutely correct. Chalk it off to my ignorance. I'll do better in the future. Dipics 13:31, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanx

...for the DYK promotion. Can you please quickly add the words "illiterate to the end of his life" just to round off the sentence and give a small punch to it? Just a suggestion. btw, I so love kimchi -- a Korean friend got me fixed on it. Anyong! ImpuMozhi 04:54, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I shortened the "hook" sentence (as Lar would call it), because "to the end of his life" sounds a bit redundant for me. I try to reword all the entries so that they contain the least words needed to make people curious and click on the bolded link. If people can learn all about the DYK item just by reading the hook, it is a poorly worded hook, probably too long. Keep up the good work! Regards, Kimchi.sg 05:09, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanx -- thats a good point. Are you at all Korean? I was just wondering, I see no indication of it, except for your username. ImpuMozhi 05:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm not Korean, but Singaporean. My username contains a 3-byte flag of the country at the end. :P Kimchi.sg 05:18, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I never realized the ".sg" stands for Singapore! So you are a near neighbour---another nice DYK: "... that User:ImpuMozhi's language, Tamil, is one of the Official Languages of Singapore?" ImpuMozhi 05:27, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

No, actually I am not a Tamil, but here is an ingenious piece of sophistry: my user-name is pure Tamil, so doesn't that serve the purpose of the DYK? --- my mother-tongue is Telugu, but I also speak some Tamil, and a large section of my family hails from the Tamil Nadu state in India, and for all these reasons I pass myself off as Tamil when expedient. I didn't put in a Tamil babel-box because my hold on Tamil is none too good, and I cannot help with translating, etc -- the language has a truly awesome "pure" vocabulary and cadence that I greatly admire but can never hope to master. I think I will now add the babelbox -- nobody has yet approached me to translate any Telugu to English for them, so why not add more babelboxes? Regards, ImpuMozhi 14:57, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

The Unsinkable Molly Brown 2006

Hi there! :) Just to clear up a slight misunderstanding we may have had re this article's deletion; I was assuming that it wouldn't be eligible for an A7 because it's about a theatrical production, rather than a person or group of people. I've been pulled up on this before - but thanks for your correction. It's gone, and it should have gone; that's what matters. Tevildo 15:11, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

The way the article was padded written (more than half of it lists of people involved) seemed to me that it focused more on the people behind the production, rather than the production (plot and other details, etc). Thus befitting A7. Kimchi.sg 15:15, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Paul Geisert

The history on that article shows that it has previously had two redirects that had been reverted. Therefore the redirect suggestion is contentious. You probably missed that when you closed the debate. It seems appropriate, given the history, to allow the editors involved in the article time to voice their opinion. SilkTork 20:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I have reverted my own closing of the AfD in light of what you said, but please note: If you say in your nomination that what you already have in mind is anything other than deletion, others are likely to call for a speedy close. Don't mention redirecting in your nomination, if you want the discussion to proceed naturally. Kimchi.sg 03:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Puzzling one

While patrolling new articles, I came across one from this growing category: [6]

Do you think Wikipedia needs a separate article for each year's playing roster of ANY sporting team, other than (perhaps) international ones?

Can you imagine what would happen if some of the cricket teams that have been around for HUNDREDS of years started doing this!!??! We'd be swamped.

Happy for you to advise. I'm reluctant (too inexperienced) to wade in, especially as someone's doing an awful lot of well-intentioned work. --Dweller 10:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

You are right, it does seem a bit extreme to have lists of players by year for every Australian Football League club. You can put them up for AfD, or have me do it if you wish. It's going to be a big nomination. :) --Kimchi.sg 12:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey - hate to be a bother, but I *think* you were involved in the deletion of Bravo's 100 Funniest Movies?

Hi, I contribute a lot of information about Battrick on Wikipedia and noticed the tag you put on Battrick and excuse me, because I am rather tired, but do not understand 100% what it means, but basically it means its not notable enough to be on Wikipedia (correct?), why?

nogallery

Hi Kimchi, I'm not sure if you noticed, but I just removed the nogallery flag from Category:Images with unknown copyright status as of 30 June 2006 after discussion at Wikipedia talk:Fair_use#NOGALLERY and Wikipedia talk:Fair use exemptions. If that is just how you prefer to work on the cat, that's fine (I'm the opposite), but there seems to be agreement that it's ok not to hide the images simply for copyright concerns so long as they're in the deletion process. Best regards ×Meegs 09:22, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I added the nogallery flag for different reasons altogether - to see how many images I'm about to delete. I only put it on when that cat's about to go. :S Kimchi.sg 09:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

graham blacow

excuse me, why have you deleted the page for graham blacow ' drummer of uk band yeti'

This is factual, informative and not legible for deletion under the reason 'nonsense'

I would appreciate a response to why this has been deleted,

Many thanks in advance—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.138.218.185 (talk • contribs) 10:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

The page was deleted three times. The first two times, the contents of the page was exactly: "Top bloke with great hair", which is totally uninformative at all. The third time it was deleted, the page read: "Drummer of UK band 'Yeti'" which is too short for even a beginning article.

I was wrong to say it was "nonsense", but there was too little in the article for it to be useful. Kimchi.sg 11:24, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi -- you just edited a sentence out of John W. Campbell with the edit summary "remove link to deleted article". That doesn't seem to be what actually happened.

Hi Kimchi .... advice needed please.

Hi Kimchi, I started editing this article [7] but soon realised it's a bit too much for me but I do think it urgently needs some correction. Could you look at it if you have time, or maybe someone else you know? Thanks :) Mirjay 02:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I looked through the changes you made to John Twelve Hawks, and didn't notice anything very bad you did to the article. Cheer up - it still reads quite nice! Maybe if you tell me what you think is wrong with the article, I'll have a better idea of what advice to give you.

P.S.: You can turn the "[1], [2],"-style links to newspaper articles into references, like what we did with the Kelly Roberti page. If you need help on that one, let me know. I messed that up a couple of times, on other articles. :) --Kimchi.sg 15:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

P.P.S.: I notice you made many small changes quickly to the page. Please don't - it makes the page's history quite messy. Use the "Show preview" button (beside the "Save page" button) to check how the page will look like, before hitting Save page. It will help you spot mistakes before making them visible to the world. ;) --Kimchi.sg 15:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

This article should not be deleted. The article is not an advertisement for a book. It is a very useful review of the key points in a very important and scholarly work about the Toyota philosophy (The Toyota Way) and the Toyota Production System. The Wikipedia article on the Toyota Production System is not very good and this review is a much better source to learn about the basics of the Toyota Production System.

Image of Panzerschreck you removed

Hey,

I noticed you removed the image I placed on the Panzerschreck page for "improper fair use". Since I am a newbie to Wikipedia, I was kind of wondering why - especially since the Panzerfaust page has a simmilar picture with a simmilar tag that has not been removed. If you could answer me back on my user or talk page I would appreciate it as I like to learn from my mistakes.

[Edit:] Because the Panzerfaust image tag seems to be acceptible to everyone I will likely be putting the Panzerschreck pic back up with that one attached.

Thanks,

Eldad aryeh.jpg

Hi Kimchi.sg, I reuploaded this image under fair use. I included a rationale similar to the one now up on its previous incarnation, though I admit that I'm not certain that I used the correct notation. If you still see a problem with the picture, please let me know why and how to remedy it. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 01:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to address that first point. While I can't guarantee that there are no free equivalents, I haven't come across any. Please advise. Tewfik^Talk 16:50, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

The point of criteria #1 is: As long as it is possible that you, me or someone else can take a picture of Eldad (since he is still alive, after all), we can't use a fair use photo of him on his article. It doesn't matter there isn't a free photo already; one can still be created. I know you're frustrated with this one, but it's policy and it's not going to be relaxed. :(

I suppose this policy is to encourage people to take their own pictures for Wikipedia to distribute whenever possible, instead of getting copyrighted ones from elsewhere. So you could solve it by taking your own picture of him. If you feel like asking others to take the photo, put the {{reqphoto}} or {{reqphotoin|Israel}} template on the talk page of the article where the photo is. These will put the article into "photo requested!" categories. --Kimchi.sg 17:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi and thank you for taking the time to reply. What you say sounds logical, but the picture is employed for the same purpose under fair use at Hebrew Wikipedia (there is even a template for Knesset member photographs from the official site), and the fair use policy says that English Wikipedia is more lenient than foreign language ones. Perhaps an official photograph of a sitting legislator on the legislature's website does meet the criteria? Let me know what you think. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 23:00, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

The "more lenient" part of the fair use page describes our policy only in general terms. There might be slight differences whereby other language Wikipedias are more lax in their fair use policy.

If you want to clarify what I'm saying is not a distortion of Wikipedia:Fair use, feel free to approach other administrators who handle a lot of image copyright issues, such as Drini or Howcheng. They are more experienced in copyright issues than I am. Regards, Kimchi.sg 07:27, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Agile Project Management (book)

Hello Kimch.sg. You removed the disambiguation from Agile Project Management. I just wanted to say this might cause some confusion. The generic topic "Agile Project Management" is essentially equivalent to the topic Agile Software Development but doesn't limit the application to software. I prefer the qualifier "(book)" to diambiguate between the generic term and the review of Highsmith's book. Agile Project Management should be redirected to Agile Software Development, but I have no idea how to do that. --Garrybooker 14:38, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Allo' Expat discussion and neutral publication

Hi Kim,

Thanks for the follow up on Allo' Expat page. The problem was that i could not participate in the discussion as it was closed a few hours after it was reported. Maybe a bit fast to get real feed-backs. I noticed that one of the members thought that it could be seen as viable: "Borderline notable. Appears to get a good amount of traffic considering its subject area. Needs significant cleanup, though."

I understand it may be seen as borderline. We just decided to add this page following expatica example, both website proving valuable information to the expatriate community. But i see they were removed, so I don't have much argument here ;-)

Finally, as we had article in the local press, expatriates magazines and chamber of commerce publication, how would you consider them yourself ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jduquesne (talk • contribs) 06:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

You may make a new article in your user page area, perhaps at User:Jduquesne/Allo' Expat, where you can add links to mentions of the website in notable sources. At some time when the article has sufficient references about the website from reliable sources, it can be moved back into article space. But the deleted version will in no way be restored, as it was taken right from the website and hence a copyright violation. Kimchi.sg 09:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Closing of AfDs with "delete" consensus

Please do not close AfD discussions with a "delete" consensus unless you are an administrator. It is better for AfD-closing admins to deal with the article directly, and if an AfD with "delete" consensus is closed by a non-admin, admins skimming the AfD log may never notice that the page hasn't been deleted. At the least, it will delay the actual deleting of the page, which will probably be not what you intend. Therefore, close only "keep" discussions yourself. Thanks, Kimchi.sg 10:20, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Nobody has complained to me about me closing "delete" AFDs. The way I do it is I close the discussion and then place an {{afdf}} tag to alert admins to delete the article. It also give the article's auther a chance to save the article to his/her computer before it actually gets deleted. It has worked out every time. Mostly Rainy 10:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

If they want to save it, they had the five days of discussion to save it, so that is a moot point. Just let admins close "delete" AfD discussions, please. I appreciate your good intentions, but it's less confusing the traditional way. Kimchi.sg 11:01, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

P.S. You are welcome to persist if you don't mind admins constantly asking you why you close "delete" discussions when you've no power to delete the pages yourself. I notice I'm not the first to do so, and won't be the last. Kimchi.sg 11:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Since you and User:Samuel Blanning comment about this, I'll just leave closing such AFDs to admins. I had good intentions, but if the {{afdf}} template has to be deleted, that's fine with me. Mostly Rainy 11:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Captain Olimar slow-motion revert war

Maybe once a week or so, someone, sometimes me, reverts over whether or not to inlcude speculation (that other people have made, not us!) that Captain Olimar will appear in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. The info keeps being removed and re-added over and over. I'm in favor of keeping it, as even though it is speculation, it did happen. It just got removed again, and this time I wanted another user's opinion before I go back and re-add it, if necessary. RyanGerbil10 (Drop on in!) 16:51, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Canadian identity, my thoughts

Thank you for your prompt response. I now understand a little better the policies of Wikipedia, but not really why some articles are listed under PROD and others under AfD.

Had I known beforehand that the Canadian identity was on the block to be deleted, I would have objected, but as that is past, I would like to request its resurrection - could you please undelete it. Here are the reasons I propose to keep it (or rather, bring it back):

• Length - most articles listed on WP:PROD, in my quick random survey, are short - a sentence to two paragraphs. Canadian identity was considerably longer. The length also supports that it is more than some random user’s vanity page, and has been a collaborative effort, one of the main goals of Wikipedia..
• Notability - Canada is indeed notable (I hope no one would dispute that). I agree that the question “What does it mean to be a Canadian?” is a slightly different topic, but I would suggest that it is a question that is fundamental to the country. From the American Revolution on, the simple answer was “not American.” Why was Canada formed? In part, to keep from becoming American. The same reason is why British Columbia joined confederation, why the west (now Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) was the subject of a huge drive on the part of the Canadian government to be settled, and why the Yukon Territory was formed. See also Canadian confederation. Canada is also special in the fact that its boundaries were not defined by war, ethic group, or common history, like most other nations (Europe, especially comes to mind).
• POV - it doesn’t surprise me that the article comes across without a NPOV. By vary nature, the article implies a point of view, because it is about how Canadians see themselves. As noted above, not being American is an important part of that. See “Mild anti-Americanism” in Canadian literature and the article on Molson’s I am Canadian commercials. I would welcome anyone to edit out the POV, but I would challenge them to do so without removing the facts. In any case, the mild POV throughout does not seem to cloud the message
• Uniqueness of topic - as you noted, the material here does not readily fit elsewhere. The topic is complex enough to require its own article, as demonstrated by its length. I read the articles that you suggested the material should be in, and found no significant overlap.
• Accuracy - this, above all, it what impressed me most about the article - it explained what it means to be Canadian in a clear, concise, and accurate manner. It is the sort of article I would point my American friends to. The clear explanation in and of itself is reason enough, in my mind, to keep the article.
• Suggestions for expansion/improvement (things I would be willing to undertake):
  • how the adoption of the maple leaf flag see Image:Flag of Canada.svg has made the maple leaf the Canadian symbol
    • how the maple leaf (or Canadian flag) is frequently attached by Canadian travelers to their backpacks to keep from being mistaken for Americans, who are stereotypically loud and rude
  • British ties, their influence on things such as architecture (I’m thinking of Victoria) and parliament
  • differences between French and Quebecois culture
  • folk songs such as I’s the b’y
  • issues with a united country and culture over the vast distance (it’s over 5000km from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador to Victoria, BC)
  • insuring relevant articles have a link to Canadian identity and the see also section at the end of the article remains relevant

Please advise me how best to proceed. Thank you again. –Mr Minchin 04:15, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

User page

Hello! What were those two test edits on my user page about?!? Thanks! --Vlad|-> 13:14, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Your userpage was in danger of being speedy deleted because it was sitting ducks inside Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. When I edited the page, I couldn't see any CSD tags, so I made the test edits to make the server clear up its mind about your userpage, to remove it from the speedy deletion category. Kimchi.sg 15:39, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, there is an explanation for that inclusion here: Re:Thanks but no thanks, but hopefully wikipedia admins are not sitting ducks :) they look at the page before deleting it (and like I've said, even if it got deleted, I think there would have been an admin to recover it! :)

But it is interesting what you tell here, I did not know that editing a speedy-delete marked page would remove it from that category?!? --Vlad|-> 18:52, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

No, it does not. The technical reason is, whenever any page is edited, the servers will keep the last edited copy in their cache for quicker loading next time the page is requested. The catch comes when a template which you transclude on your userpage is edited to include a CSD template, and then deleted - the last version edited (with the CSD tag) is cached by the servers, so they'll think your page is indirectly "tagged" for speedy deletion. The nicest way to remedy this is to invalidate the server cache by making a test edit. Kimchi.sg 18:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I see! Thanks for the edit, once again & for the tip, I'll keep it in mind! --Vlad|-> 23:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Monoculture in Research

Dear Kimchi.sg,

Thank you for reading my articles. I appreciate your comments, although I do not agree with the nuclear option you have chosen. My intent was to inform the public about new (and free for personal use) tool. If you think the articles do not serve this purpose, or this purpose is not aligned with Wikipedia guidelines, we should let the public administrators decide.

I do have a remark on your approach. It seems to me that relying on a single search engine results (google) shortly after the web site and the articles have been published is a poor rationale for discussion. I would allow both search bots and public more time to react.

Cheers, --Andy.goryachev 17:12, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Breckenheim image removed.

Kimchi, I noticed you removed the Breckenheim coat of arms. According to § 5 Abs. 1 of the German Copyright law, official works like coats of arms are gemeinfrei (in the public domain).

If that is not enough, is there a way to link it to the version on the German Wikipedia,http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Breckenheim_wappen.jpg

Thanks, Tartessos75 03:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

In that case, I'll undelete it and mark it as such. Thanks for the clarification. Kimchi.sg 08:43, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Endre Johannes Cleven image license

Well, apparently I used the wrong tag; it's in the family estate and I thought I'd released all rights to it in the drawbar; what's the tag I should use if we're releasing it to the public domain? The photo is at least 100 years old, possibly more like 107, although I wouldn't know the actual photographer but it was a purchased portrait, with the depictee owning the rights; and me, as his grandson, is in charge of the family photographic estate. I tried to have a look at the image by moving the old Wiki image tag to the article's talk page, but it appears to have also been deleted and no longer displays; so I can't check what I'd put or change the license. Since you're the one who took it off, please advise as to what tag I SHOULD use in this situation. I may replace it with another image, in civilian clothes in a double portrait with his wife, but it would be good to know in advance what tag for this kind of thing.Skookum1 04:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

BlairhillRailwayStation2.JPG

I took a series of photographs of railway stations in Coatbridge. When I uploaded BlairhillRailwayStation2.JPG, I must have missed the licensing drop-down. After upload I checked and found that it didn't have a license declaration, so I uploaded it again, this time with a license declaration. However, after 7 days, it was deleted. I've just uploaded it again with a license declaration. Will it be deleted again?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by ML5 (talk • contribs) 19:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC+8)

I have completed the URL on the image-page.

I just arrived back home after some weeks holiday and simply wasn't able to resolve the problem in time. I hope this image is acceptable to you and Wikipedia.

Bruce Bamer

Kimchi, about the bruce damer addition, I was thinking of doing a bio page for my work in cyberspace and with a lot of organizations. Many of my colleagues have such pages which I am sure they did themselves. How can I create a proper entry? You can see the range of my work by googling "bruce damer". I am new to wikipedia so really appreciate your guidance.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bdamer (talk • contribs) 02:13, 26 July 2006 (UTC+8)

Please refer to Wikipedia's guidelines on autobiography articles; many editors consider it bad form for one to write about themself in an article. If someone is really notable enough, it's better for others to notice the person, then write something about him. That said, I will assess your notability according to our guidelines for biographies later today, and I'll tell you whether you deserve an article or not. Biographies (whether autobiographies or not) that don't satisfy the biography notability guidelines are likely to be nominated for deletion. Kimchi.sg 02:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I checked the notable guidelines and yes in a way I feel kind of strange creating an entry about myself as a number of my colleagues have. Perhaps I could ask a colleague to do this on my behalf? On the other hand I feel I can make a great contribution to Wikipedia in the computing history realm and I would think it would be valuable to tie back to my own work and references/publications in this area.

Kimchi, so you don't live in Singapore?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bdamer (talk • contribs) 14:33, 26 July 2006 (UTC+8)

You can mention your own work in related articles, but I'm still not too convinced an (auto)biographical article is a good idea. Why not have a compromise: write your planned autobiography at a subpage of your user page, perhaps at User:Bdamer/article, where you can prepare the article before moving it into the article area? That way, we can have more time to add references about you to the planned article. I have just searched Google and it seems a lot of separate people/organisations interviewed you back in 1997.

As for where I live - I live in Singapore, as a "permanent resident". I reserve the right to scoff at the antics of my government. Which I do fairly often. :) Kimchi.sg 16:30, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Editing Image:Lance Secretan.jpg (section)

Thanks for your note Kimchi.sg I am a new editor (and thanks for the reference pages). I have looked them over and I still am looking for what I need to to properly tag this image.

Lance Secretan has granted permission to use this photograph on this article, and for others to have free use of it.

What tag specifically do I need to use?

I guess I am looking for the most effective way to have a photo of him appear in the article. I have others that I have taken of him if I have to use one of those I can.

any specific quidance on what comments I need to put in the tag would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Apreston (talk • contribs) 12:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC+8)

You are greatly encouraged to use a photo of him that you took yourself, over photos from other sources. This is because if you took the photo yourself, you can license the photo under a suitable free license when uploading it to Wikipedia. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#For image creators for tags you can use to label self-made photos; choose a suitable license and then tag the photo with it.

Request for an undelete of the Swede FA page

The Swede FA page was not an attack page.

It is an accurate account of the team's results and the team itself takes some pride in the 'celebrity' their record accords them.

They were determined to go out to win tonight so that they could edit the profile accordingly.

It is arguable that the only reason the team meets the notability criteria is because of their record.

Kind regrds,

Ebren—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 146.101.163.36 (talk • contribs) 21:35, 26 July 2006 (UTC+8)

I won't accede to your request immediately. Please read our notability guidelines for sportspeople and re-consider; even if I undeleted your article, it probably will still be nominated for deletion. Kimchi.sg 16:15, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Right,

A quick refresh on the guidelines and... The content is verifiable (Goals! website), I think there is a NPOV - the facts and not opinions.

Notability... 100,000 people in the UK alone play this (or a very similar) brand of five-a-side football. Additionally the atrocious record of the team makes them certainly notable (or is that notorious :) ) among this group.

I agree, however, that the strict sports team rules do not apply.

Perhaps a merge with the Goals Soccer Centre article? Possibly and entry for worst football (soccer) team ever (which would provoke interest).

But I respect your opinion on this and realise that - the poor record aside - it reads like a vanity article.

So the question becomes is the record notable.

Your call...

Ebren.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 146.101.163.36 (talk • contribs) 00:30, 27 July 2006 (UTC+8)

"Interesting" can be a subjective word. That said, I think at best merge the bottom half of what used to be the article into the Goals! article, probably under a new "League records" section. Don't include the stuff on how they started, etc, just state that they are the worst-performing team and back it up with the numbers. If it's indeed nice to know, other people won't remove it.

It'd also be nice if you can point me to the League tables for Swede FC, which would serve as the reference for your figures. I tried navigating the Goals! website but not understanding the league and fixture structure at all, it was a pain. Kimchi.sg 17:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

RE: the Accident Hash Image

Bruce Damer (auto)biography

Sounds like a good plan. I will build the bio as a subpage in my user page for later consideration as an article.

So some time down the road I will work on the bio, if it makes sense to have it as an article I will contact you to check it out.

Othman Abu-Sahnun the Italian

Hello, I am the author of the entry on Othman Abu-Sahnun the Italian, which has been deleted. The point of the entry was not to attack the subject of the entry, but to clarify some things of his biography. Thus, I intended to begin the stub of an entry for others to pick up and complete, relying in that on their more expert knowledge. The things I wrote about are things which I personally know about but do not have verification, i.e. there is no documentation in terms of public papers of any sort available to me, although such must exist, and so was really seeking verification from others. This is relevant because Othman is the author of a web-site in which he writes on a number of subjects, and thus his biography is at least of some interest. After all for some of the subjects he writes on, a search on Google often turns up his web-site as first port of call. I am happy to re-write the entry to remove anything that might be considered inflammatory and unverified. And really only want to create a stub that might be filled in by others with better information.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Abdassamad (talk • contribs) 02:20, 27 July 2006 (UTC+8)

I deleted it because it simply said he is the owner of a website at [address] "devoted to a number of themes: works critical of psychiatry, eugenics and of the Murabitun movement". This article did not assert the notability of the person according to our notability guidelines for people - no mentions in a reputable media source, or awards, or anything else was mentioned.

This article was deleted twice, and I was the second person to delete it. I have also considered the first deleted version, which says that this person had a "mental collapse" in 1994, stabbed his father-in-law in the abdomen, and "wrote a book [critical of] Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir", in addition to having a website. All of these are still not assertions of notability; in some countries publishing a book has become easy with vanity publishers publishing anything if the author will pay them. Stabbing other people and having a mental condition do not automatically make one notable either. Kimchi.sg 14:01, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Diadema palmeri

Hello, Just wondering why you deleted my text:Diadema palmeri? A species of sea urchin which has every right to be on wiki - even though it is a bottom dweller. Can the text be retrieved or should I go back to the sandbox and start again. Bit new at this, havn't read the all the small print or for that matter italic or bold print. I should read the instructions before diving straight in.I have permission for the use of the Diadema image, so what Tag/notes do I need to put on it so it can be viewed on wiki - a GNU? How? Any help would be greatly appreciated.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jonathan Palmer (talk • contribs) 09:31, 27 July 2006 (UTC+8)

Well, the article certainly did not say that it was a species of sea urchin. It said it was "An exploding super nova suspended in liquid and time, with bright reddish-brown spines radiating out from a never blinking eye" - and the diadema link, which goes to a page that says the word has several meanings, wasn't sufficiently helpful. Thus I couldn't find any context to explain what the article was talking about - one of our criteria for deleting articles on sight.

I have restored the page and added in the bit that it is a sea urchin, without the exaggerated description. Please note that the accompanying image will stay deleted - the first deleted version said it was used "with permission" from the photographer, making it unusable for use in Wikipedia. In light of that, the claim in the second version - that the image is licensed under GFDL - seems dubious. It might help if you indicate which website you got it from. Kimchi.sg 14:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, if you are the photographer, or know who the photographer is, it will be greatly preferred if the photograph can be released under a free license that allows both commercial and non-commercial users to distribute the photo, modify it, and distribute their modifications.

edit to duncan macpherson article

I noticed you had changed an edit I had made to the page of Duncan MacPherson, changing what I had:

had fallen into a crevasse on the run, and was buried by the snow grooming machine.

To:

had fallen off-course and become trapped in heavy snow.

That's not correct, so I had changed it to what actually happened. I've not edited articles here before, so I'm not sure if I'm not supposed to say anything or if I change it back again, then check later to see if it's changed. Anyway, just wanted to clarify in case I am supposed to.

Thanks.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gribbler (talk • contribs) 13:57, 23 July 2006 (UTC+8)

Is there anywhere else on the Internet that confirms what you say? I read again the provided reference on the story of his death, but it seems to contradict what you said, from my limited understanding of the wording: MacPherson's family... speculates that MacPherson broke through a snowbridge on the controlled ski slope, but nobody was on hand to witness the accident. Nothing about a snow-grooming machine. Kimchi.sg 07:19, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I can probably find some article(s) if you need, but since Duncan was my brother, I'm much more familiar with the details of the case. Thanks.

Well, your statement would qualify as original research and is liable to be removed, unless you have sources to back up your claim. Even if your statement is true, we can only include verifiable information. Kimchi.sg 12:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. Understood. There is an appeal into the lack of a proper investigation of his death, when this is decided upon, I could probably post that info; though there's about 700 pages of data, I'd not be sure if I can just put ALL that info up here or not. Any suggestions?

This #REDIRECT[[11]] states: "Since the discovery of the body, MacPherson's family has noted that it was found within the safety zone, roughly 25 meters east of the lift. The family speculates that MacPherson broke through a snowbridge on the controlled ski slope, but nobody was on hand to witness the accident." Initialy the police released information that Duncan was found 125 meters east of the chair lift, this information is wrong and if this article is not proof enough, let me know and I'll find others.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gribbler (talk • contribs) 03:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC+8)

There is no need to post the entire report that supports your statement.

The report so far is not in the public domain, it's in front of the Austrian Government awaiting their decision in regards to Duncan's death. The investigation wasn't complete and wasn't handled properly. I will do some more digging and see what I can find in the public domain. Is the info you're basing your statements on from a online news article(s)? Thanks --Gribbler 22:39, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Not sure whether that site is a news report, but it's all we've got on his suspected cause of death, until a more authoritative source mentions otherwise. Wikipedia's job is just to present stuff from other sources, so if there's only one source for some info and they report wrongly, we'd have to echo them. Kimchi.sg 00:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Please do not use Wikipedia as an advertising vehicle. Kimchi.sg 00:20, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi again Kimchi,

It's not about using the Wikipedia as an advertising vehicle. It's about given the correct information and giving a description which is accurate. You article state 'sanctioned by', which is factually incorrect. 'Sanctioned by' implies that it is a private body and has the approval of the Ministry. The actual situation is that ITE is part of the Ministry of Education and is a wholly-government organisation. There is a difference between 'sanctioned by the Government" and being a body set up by the Government. Also, the National ITE Certificate (Nitec), is an internationally-recognised qualification.

My RfA and your vote

Hey Kimchi, Thanks for participating in my RFA! Ultimately, no consensus was reached, but I still appreciate the fact that you showed up to add in your two cents. I was surprised to see a wikipedian do so much investigation....I appreciate the positive examples you found. You can feel free to talk to me about it or add some advice on my improvement page. Sincerely, The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 21:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

On removing fair use images...

Re: [12]. Suggestion? Just remove them. The policy, which is based in large part on U.S. copyright law, is unlikely to change. Commenting it out is perhaps less effective than removing it entirely, and since the policy is unlikely to change, it's just as well to remove it I think. You? --Durin 14:13, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I was just imitating Orphanbot. :-S And it is easier to see if the uploader re-uploads the same picture again and uses it in the same place, which occurs more often than I initially expected - the diff will just show removal of the comment marks. Kimchi.sg 16:11, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Thankyou for your participation in my RfA. Due to an almost even spread of votes between Oppose and Support (Final (16/13/6)) I have decided to withdraw for now and re-apply in a couple of months as suggested. I thank everyone for their kind support of my editorial skills; it meant a lot to me to get such strong recommendations from my fellow editors. If you ever have any hints as to how I can improve further, I would love to hear from you. Viridae^Talk 15:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of successful automobiles

Kimchi, excuse me for the bother, but I believe that among the personal slurs the real issue was lost, and the article still should be deleted. Therefore I would like to renominate it highlighting its inherent unfitness for WP rather than issues that don't merit deletion. How do I do that? (my problem is that after placing the subst:afd1 template on the article's page, the "this article's entry" link would lead to the archived previous nomination).

Automobile pictures copyright

Hi, you have sent me several messages indicating that my images have insufficient copyright status. The website in which I got the images off do not own the images. They were released by Holden (an Australian car maker) to promote their product. These series of images can be found on several other websites. So I clearly think that these images fit within the GNU licensing. Reagrds.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by OSX (talk • contribs) 18:57, 3 August 2006 (UTC+8)

I am sorry to bother you again, but what am I supposed to use as my copyright tag? I have come across a number of images that are from other websites that look as though they are not supposed to be used on Wikipedia and they have been there for some time. If I make my own website and place those images on it and have a copyright policy saying these images may be redistributed then would that be applicable?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by OSX (talk • contribs) 20:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC+8)

central blues afc

hello,

according to the deletion log, you were the user to delete the "central blues" stub due to "no assertion of club's notability.

I was actually in the process of writing a message to assert the club's notability, when it was taken down.

this club is part of a league of 9 teams, each of which has a stub in wikipedia. the club had one such stub, but it was deleted after I expanded the 2 or so lines into a short paragraph. although this is an amateur league, all the clubs have web pages, corporate sponsors and fans, and take themselves seriously. this club IS notable and I would greatly appreciate it if you could restore the stub, or tat the very least not take it down when it is put back up.

Question about the deletion

Dear Kimchi

Could you please not to remove the Bradford Networks information? I am just interested in the company, which initially developed the NAC solution. Especially, this company invented a NAC OS technology. I will keep adding more information about NAC OS. Also I will be adding more objective information about this company little by little.

I should have read the Wikipedia manual before I posted a message. I got a bit confused. sorry about that. I will not post any adv-relasted messages. But if you still think that this message need to be removed, I will remove it.

Thanks for uploading Image:Headquarters 2.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kimchi.sg 05:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Nanking Massacre images

Hi. Thanks for listing the "Body everywhere.jpg" picture - I wasn't sure what to do, as Mib was partly abusing his admin powers to undelete without cause.

However, as a side-note, another picture that I listed for deletion was Image:Nanjing ditch.jpg. Now the image on wikipedia was successfully deleted, but it has a counterpart on the Commons site which is just as dubious. I have listed that for speed deletion too, but I have noticed that there is a massive backlog on Commons with such a listing. Is it possible to ask some admins to deal with the backlog, or are Commons listings normally purged/deleted at less frequent intervals.

Just curious if there was anything I could do to resolve the issue, rather than have it drag on for months (with tags removed by third-parties again). John Smith's 16:31, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, what are you refering to? I haven't reverted any tags since you protected the image. John Smith's 17:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

You implied I was still reverting, which I didn't understand. But I'm clear on what you meant now, and, sure, I'll use the alternative method of reporting pictures.

So what you're saying is that Berne Convention means that it is the duty of the external website to ensure the material is properly copyrighted, etc and not a website like wikipedia? John Smith's 17:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

And can you please have a look at the following request and check as to whether it is suitable or not? [13] John Smith's 17:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, you mean copyrighted once scanned or whatever. Ok, well that makes all the difference then. By the way, does the deletion request appear "valid"? I'm not sure what exactly is an acceptable argument on that page. John Smith's 17:30, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm just as much a stranger to Commons practices as you, but that request sounds okay. Kimchi.sg 17:32, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Fleur de lys window

Hi!

With regard to that window, it's a bit of a puzzle to me as to what constitutes free and fair use of an image of an artwork.

I was the photographer in this case. But this photograph is not an artwork. It's simply a straight-on good shot of the subject. The subject is a window which looks medieval. Most people who photograph it, probably several hundred times a week, would think that it was 700 years old and publish it without as such without hesitation. But I happen to KNOW that it was created about 1986.

I can't, in all honesty, claim the artwork because I took the photo. I'm an artist myself. On the other hand, because this window has been installed in a uniquely significant building (the first church in the Gothic style), it has become an almost-public work of art, like the Eiffel Tower, Nelson's Column and the ten new statues of 20th Century martyrs outside Westminster Abbey. The only real difference is that because these other things are outside, they are clearly Public Art. You can't stop the public from photographing the Abbey, just because you have created one of the statues that graces its facade.

In every church that one goes into, there are artworks both old and new. They are photographed and published all the time- particularly the stained glass. My case here is that it is Public Art and Fair Use, because it is an outstanding example of what it is, in a building of unique significance.

I refuse to claim it as my own work.

I think it must be PD Art, but I'm not sure.

--Amandajm 12:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

When I uploaded the article in the first place, I made the date of it's creation and the reason it was being used perfectly clear.

But we are left with a grey area. What is the case for art works that occupy public spaces, are on public buildings or are part of tourist attractions? The statue that is currently on the 4th Plinth in Trafalgar Square, for example?

--Amandajm 12:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

They retain their copyright. The "publicness" of the location in which the work is displayed does not matter, once it has been made visible to the public (the act of "publishing" the work). Kimchi.sg 12:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Alternative picture?

Can you suggest a free use alternative for File:Darvel.jpg, which was deleted? Thanks. -- Britishagent 13:58, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

That image is easy to replace, hence why it's not allowed as fair use around here. Someone just needs to visit the town with camera in hand and snap a picture. Kimchi.sg 14:10, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I substantially improved the article when I recreated it.

Shadowclan

You deleted the Shadowclan page again after over a month of it having been recreated. What was the problem this time? Bagginator 23:09, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

It's created again with basically the same text. Still the same problem - no assertion of notability per our guidelines on groups articles. No mention of coverage in magazines, newspapers, anything. If you can't say in the article that Shadowclan has been mentioned in any media other than this website, even after the article has been existing for a month, maybe they really just doesn't deserve their own article. Kimchi.sg 23:15, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

We could do a side by side comparison but it wasn't recreated with basically the same text, unless I edited it wrong recently and put back the same text from the first draft, but I don't believe I did that. There is also other media that has mentioned Shadowclan and interviewed Shadowclan members. So you will put the article back up as long as a link is added to the Media interviews?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bagginator (talk • contribs) .

I'll restore it for listing on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Be very sure to add in whatever media references you have right away. Do not remove the articles for deletion box at the beginning of the page. Kimchi.sg 23:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, in the deletion page you write that no previous media articles were linked but there are currently two linked, one for Ultima Online and one for Dark Age of Camelot that were linked prior to deletion. Could you please correct this statement? Bagginator 01:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Please re-read my statement. I said "no references provided as of last deletion". This was the last deleted version and it indeed doesn't have any references. Kimchi.sg 01:41, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I take that back - This is a detailed mention of the clan. The last one doesn't count, it mentions the clan in less than a sentence. Kimchi.sg 01:44, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Gaming clans not notable.

Under the thread about Shadowclan deletion you refer to Shadowclan as a non-notable gaming clan. You then go on to point explain that if the notability of Shadowclan is not sourced then the page will be deleted. Under that two people vote for delete and give the reason that gaming clans are not notable.

This doesn't seem to fall under the reasoning stated for the possible deletion. Does an answer to these votes for deletion that have nothing to do with noteriety need to be answered? Bagginator 05:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I guess what i'm trying to point out is that it says this under articles of deletion Indeed, if you can address the points raised during the discussion by improving the article, you are encouraged to edit a nominated article but their criticism of the article isn't that it can be fixed in any way, which makes their comments particularly frustrating as they don't seem to follow the guidelines you posted at the outset.Bagginator 05:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Not all objections about articles in any AfD discussion are actable upon. Just concede that gaming clans are inherently not interesting enough for Wikipedia - there are too many of them. Kimchi.sg 07:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I didn't know there was an interesting enough clause at Wikipedia. Is this the new reason it will be deleted now since the other reason has been overcome?Bagginator 07:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure... and I'm not sure you've overcome the objections convincingly either. Don't press me for details. Lastly, there's no need to automatically write something in response to every delete comment - it makes you look silly. Kimchi.sg 08:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

To my knowledge I havn't written a response to any delete comment, could you be more specific?Bagginator 08:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I also think you should reconsider the AfD. Bagginator has worked hard to find many sources for the gaming clan's notability. Its Wikipedia's loss if the article is deleted.Bakaman _Bakatalk 14:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential! What's New? In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs. To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed! The In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign. Signed...

What if there is a history of animosity between opposing parties involved in the article? Cufece 18:58, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Without knowing which AfD you have in mind, I suppose the antidote will be to say "keep" in the AfD, and then state why you believe it is made in bad faith (e.g. "nominator's only edits are to nominate obviously notable people for AfD", etc). If your claim is plausible, there are likely to be people who investigate it further. Kimchi.sg 21:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Dark and Shattered Lands

I just stumbled upon the discussion/deletion page for Dark and Shattered Lands and just thought that it should be kept as a page, even if it was originally created in bad faith. Even though its membership is small, it is a notable MUD within the mudding community and deserves an article.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Claymoney (talk • contribs) .

cyber bullying

My son has been the target of a cyber bully, who has attempted to create a damaging Wikipedia page with insulting words and profanity, as well as mailing it to a long list of hotmail associates.

Is there any way to find this person's ISP, so I can contact them with a complaint?

The offender is listed as gunzandswordz@hotmail.com, and was earlier the subject of an email to us from the wiki admin with this message:

javascript:ol('http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Jobb'); This page has been deleted and protected to prevent recreation for the reason specified below. If you would like to contest this decision, please see Deletion Review. Further information may be available by contacting the administrator who protected the page. Reason specified: "CSD A7 - biography with no assertion of notability, deleted 3 times today".

Please contact me, or let me know how to deal with cyber-bullying of this nature.

RE: Image:Dr manzoor.GIF

Hi,

I am new to editting and creating new articles...Been a wikiGnome for quite sometime now...I am a student at Usman Institute of Technology in Karachi and the editor of our quarterly newsletter called "The BE Junction". Me and my sub-editor interviewed Dr.Manzoor sometime ago. We took about 5 pictures with my friend's camera phone. I think it was Nokia N90 but I could be wrong.

You can find another picture in the same setting and the transcript of the interview at:

http://uitec.pbwiki.com/Interview

Let me know if there is anything else I should do to fix the article. Please also check Usman Institute of Technology and fix any wiki formatting errors.

Removal Of The Unblock Thing

Hi, I was wondering who I could complain to over the treatment from Dr. Glasgow. Vice President In Charge Of Office Supplies 23:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

IMO, There's not much you could complain about. He blocked you, then unblocked again with apologies. You could try the Administrators' noticeboard. Kimchi.sg 23:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

What to do?

Hey Kimchi, I'm not sure of procedure in this case - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xcellent. When i went there to vote Keep I noted the nominator has now advised he has withdrawn his nom after learning more about the subject. As you are very experienced on AfDs, what would you do? Close it as withdrawn nom? I really shouldn't because I oppose deletion (even tho I haven't actually posted a keep vote). Cheers. Moriori 23:45, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

The nomination gets closed once its nominator withdraws. I've closed it as withdrawn. Kimchi.sg 23:50, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for assistance. Sheesh, you must be busy.. Moriori 23:54, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

William S Sadler and Lena Kellogg

The photos that were uploaded are not copyrighted. They were free given by the family and in use for many years. I got them from our archive of the historical society.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hershberger (talk • contribs) .

Have they said that the photos are public domain? I would not wish to assume this. Kimchi.sg 13:43, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

The Urantia Book

I got this e-mail:

Wikipedia is about providing the major published views to readers and that very much includes views that are critical. I invite you to post to the discussion page of The Urantia Book article to provide suggestions about any large revisions you think are necessary. Thanks. Wazronk 04:14, 14 August 2006 (UTCRegarding the editing on criticisms.

This is an encyclopedia not a book review on Amazon. I looked on the website for the Roman Catholic church, the largest denomination of Christianity. They do not have a critical review section. Neither does Methodism, Presbyterian, Mormon, Hinduism, Tao, Congregationalism, Orthodox Christianity, or Lutheranism, etc. Why should this entry?

My two history of Dr Lena and William Sadlers have references and are supported by historical documents. The photos are in the public domain, there are no living heirs.

FYI for another reader's thread: As far as its classification, in the Religions list, it is probably from the in the Encyclopedia of Relgions by Gordon Melton, and Urantia and is listed as a splinter or branch of Seventh Day Adventist. But in the "American Religions Collection" at UCSB of which Melton founded, the Urantia Book Movement is listed as a separate organization that has never been affliated with the SDA and I am sure Melton will update that as well in his next edition.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hershberger (talk • contribs) .

That email wasn't from me, was it? You should copy this to Talk:The Urantia Book too - I don't edit that article regularly. Kimchi.sg 13:45, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

My upload

It is a promotional still used to promote the show. I didn't see that on the drop down list. The pic is used for promotional purposes.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by JohnnyBlaze (talk • contribs) .

Yes, you indicated that it is a copyrighted still image. But you haven't told us where you got it from. The source of the image is as important as what type of image it is. Kimchi.sg 02:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Even if you told us the source, a TV still of an actress cannot be used in an article which is not mainly about the TV show. According to the fair use tag on the image, it can only be used "for identification and critical commentary on the station ID or program and its contents". Not in the actress's biography, whose main topic isn't the TV show. Kimchi.sg 02:41, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Angelo Frammartino

Two reasons to keep:

1) There is a developing controversy regarding the lack of coverage of his death, and

2) If this page deserves to be deleted, so too do the Tom Hurndall and Rachel Corrie pages. It's a double standard otherwise.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Darianb (talk • contribs) .

User talk:David Sneek

Was there any particular reason you deleted this page? The user continued editing after you deleted it, and now is requesting for it to be deleted again. CSD U1 applies to user subpages, not their main talk page. Userpage can usually be deleted if the person has actually left, but talk page only in exceptional circumstances. I wanted to check if there was any. Petros471 12:42, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

It looks like he wants to exercise his right to vanish, but came back for a little while. When he first requested it be deleted, I saw that there were no warnings or suspicious history on the talk page, so I deleted it. Kimchi.sg 12:53, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Operation Expose The Government Terrorists

No nomination was withdrawn. Number of "keep" votes^{AfdIsNotAVote(TM)} remains zero. Weregerbil 14:20, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

And you were saying, "Please close this nomination"? Kimchi.sg 14:21, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I do not recall saying that nor can I find any comment of mine on the AfD page that contains the word "close". Weregerbil 14:26, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

That was NawlinWiki. Alright, I'll change the closing text. Kimchi.sg 14:29, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Your AfD nominations of ongoing uncontested proposed deletion articles

Sorry about the AfD nominations of the PROD'ed articles. I have just been reading the PROD and AfD policies, and it's not really clear from those policies that a PROD'd article should not be taken to AfD - particularly since Wikipedia:Proposed deletion says:

If you feel that the article should be deleted, but not without discussion, you may nominate the article for an Articles for deletion debate.

--Dsreyn 14:48, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info on how to handle the PROD / AfD transition. Does this information exist somewhere in one of the policies / guidelines? Dsreyn 14:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

From WP:PROD: "An article flagged for both PROD and AfD should be dealt with in AfD, and the {{prod}} tag can be removed." Kimchi.sg 15:05, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Foundation issues

The task of improving access to video on Wikipedia is a complex one, and one which I have not only thought about, but explored in many places on Wikipedia and Wikimedia over many months.

I see you commented on my understanding of foundation issues. You will notice that foundation issues item 4 calls for copyleft licensing of content. And yet, interestingly, not all content on Wikimedia is copyleft. This image: Image:Cheatsheet-en.png is explicitly copyright in fact by ... Wikimedia themselves: © & ™ All rights reserved, Wikimedia Foundation, Inc..

So I hope you can now see that there is a gap between idealism and realism even at the heart of the Wikimedia Foundation. While some of us work to close this gap, I hope you can appreciate that this ideal has not yet been reached even amongst the most committed at Wikimedia, and can perhaps begin to appreciate that your initial hasty response on my RfA may not reflect that my understanding of foundation issues may be deeper than it first seems. Stephen B Streater 17:43, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikimedia

I can see your commitment to Wikipedia. I would appreciate it if you could find time to add the main thrust of your argument to the Wikimedia debate. If you can think of a way forward within your framework, I'd be interested too. Stephen B Streater 19:01, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Please Reblock Me

Hi. I am a doctor who works in the Baltimore area. Ever since January, I used Wikipedia to assist me in difficult decisions if I had no knowledge of a patient's condition (or if I forgot). I get accused of vandalism since I used to vandalize wikipedia a week ago. Why would I ever use Wikipedia to assist my patients again if it's just going to cause more uproar with the administrators?

User reported - remove Ali doostzadeh, not warned

Ali doostzadeh was warned multiple times, he keeps erasing the warnings from his Talk page. They are listed in the Ali doostzadeh Talk:History pages with notations "test 2,3,4.

Fair use image removal

Hi, thanks for removing the fair use image from my user page. However, since the image was given as part of an award given to me by another user, you also inadvertently removed the text as well. I suspect that you also did that to other people who also received the award. I would like to suggest that instead of removing the entire section, you should replace the image with something like "fair use image removed" or something so that the text of the award is still preserved. I didn't like going to my user page and finding that Evilphoenix's words of praise were missing from it. Thanks, Deathphoenix ʕ 18:11, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Replaced with free flamethrower for all pages, thanks to Samir who found the image. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 06:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

The Blaques

Could you please unprotect and restore "The Blaques". It is a highly regarded club and for some reason all attempts to make articles detailing them have been deleted. I believe this is unfair. - Sam Marcy—The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 16:57, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

"Highly regarded"? How highly, and by whom? Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 09:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

It is highly regarded by all its members, adults children; pretty much most of Sydney. - Sam Marcy—The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 17:23, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Are there any other reliable sources, than this website, that supports what you say? For example, a newspaper? Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 09:40, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes. The Sydney Boys High School has a column dedicated to The Blaques in their weekly newsletter, High Notes. - Sam Marcy—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.7.166.166 (talk • contribs) .

That's no different from any of the thousands of other small groups in schools around the world. None of them are notable enough to deserve an article. If this school is never given any publicity other than the local school newsletter, it doesn't deserve an article either. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 11:48, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Jennifer Walcott

Interesting name change. Anyway, just a quick note, "nominator doesn't give any reason for deletion" currently is not a speedy keep criteria. Please reconsider your close at Jeffer Walcott's AfD. Thanks. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

There is nothing precluding you from nominating it again with a decent reason for deletion. Any number of Wikipedia articles suffer from a "lack of interest and information". Given that sort of terse nomination, letting other editors figure out just what made Jennifer Walcott look especially "lacking in interest and information" to warrant deletion was being manifestly unfair to them.

My mistake; possibly led to improper speedy

Hi! I came across an article posted by User:Clippark that was a copyright violation. I then found that multiple articles by him (17) were cut and paste jobs all from the same AT&T website. Trying to tag them expeditiously, I did so in multiple windows. Unfortunately, I only later realized that a number of them were preexisting articles with copyvio text added and the first few I oooked at were the only ones that had been created by him. I immediately rectified the error in those that were preexisting by removing the speedy tag and reverting to a noninfringing prior version. Unfortunately, by that time you had speedied August Busch III. A google search [19] finds that article, which leads me to believe that it was one of those that preexisted. My mistake and lesson learned, but that article must have preexisted so it should accordingly be restored.--Fuhghettaboutit 02:24, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I undeleted the edits before his and your tagging. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 03:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Blogtronix

From George (Blogtronix) Hello Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh Thank you for your comment - I think your statement is a little incorrect. Being first in more than one aspects should allow us to be included in Wikipedia. Plus we do have way more than 5 articles about us in newspapers. We can not become Forbes or Fortune 500 company in 18 months but we are aiming there. There is nothing wrong with our software or company type - you do not know the Corporate Blogging software industry to state that We can not be included because we are nobody. I am honestly seeking advise how we can be inclued in wikipedia,i am not arguing with the editors. I need advise what to do as I am certain my opinion is valid as well as the infromation for Blogtronix which should reside in Wikipedia

--GeorgeAthannassov 21:08, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I can only repeat what I've said. Come back when you're in Forbes 500. We can well afford to wait till then. And where are all those newspapers featuring your company in more than 5 sentences? All the links you gave were to blogs. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 21:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Plenty of places, with more than 5 senteses. Anyway.. I see what is the wikipedia policy. I will make sure that I have in my mind for quite some time. When we get to fortune 500 hights - believe me, wikipedia guys will enter the info themselves. So talk to you then!

Lyrics

Sorry to bother you again, but I have another doubt which I can not find the answer for. One user just added lyrics to the U2's song Beautiful Day, right in the bottom of the article. I was going to place the lyrics in a more adequate section of it, but then I realized that I've never seen any song lyrics on Wikipedia before. So, is it okay for them to be there in the first place? Thank you.--Húsönd 23:21, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

No. The song lyrics are a copyright violation, and must be removed. I doubt U2 has released the copyright on their songs. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 23:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Lex Luger page

Can you temporarily protect the page from non-registered edits? There is someone vandalizing the page multiple times daily from different computers.

--Neoyamaneko 03:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

The rate of vandalism of Lex Luger doesn't warrant page protection yet.

P.S. You removed some info in your last revert, which I restored. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 04:00, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Many of those moves came in the last few days, leading me to believe it was the resident vandal sticking in moves as much as he could until he got caught, so I reverted those changes to the ones before the wave of vandalism started. And the "All-American Hero" thing was a nickname given by the announcers. It was never an official name used by the ring announcers, hence its deletion.Neoyamaneko

Rake Free discussion

I strongly disagree with your decision to remove my comments from the Rake Free article. The discussion was only open for less than 3 hours before you stopped it. This was barely enough time for me to enter my opinion. Some rules can be bent in certain circumstances, and this is certainly one of them - you should let my entry stay. I feel that my freedom of speech on Wikipedia has been infringed upon. I stated my case in a fair and impartial manner, and you have deleted it. I have lost all faith in you as a fair and reasonable Admin. Cloudreaver 00:00, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Sir,

I was extremely shocked when I discovered that you had removed the article about American composer Dennis Bathory-Kitsz. Mr. Bathory-Kitsz is one of the most active contributors to the scene of contemporary and electroacoustic music. His contributions are always followed with interest and he has gained a considerable reputation in the field.

I kindly ask you to put the article back to Wikipedia.

Image:Twelvemonths.jpg

It's a poster for a film. There's a fair use rationale for it, right below the notice that you posted. I quote,

"It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of movie posters

   * to illustrate the movie in question or
   * to provide critical analysis of the poster content or artwork

on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law."

Also: [21], [22]

The image is only used on ONE page - the site of the film. What is the problem here, and how does it violate wikipedia policy? Esn 01:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... didn't know that. Well, the source is the Russian wikipedia. [23] From the info at the bottom of the page, it seems that a user took a picture of the poster and uploaded it. Is that an adequate description? Esn 02:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Utopia Spells

I do not understand why did you delete the article that I have created ORIGINALLY and of course, I did violate the rules by taking some contents from websites. Soon after that, I modified everything and it has nothing to do with original contents. I did it by myself.

--Survivor88 12:03, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

"Nothing to do with the original contents" is quite misleading. I looked at both versions side by side, and at least half of the "new" version is copied from the old one word for word, but with the sections rearranged. That still makes it a copyright violation.

On my own behalf

Hi,

I just discovered a discussion about me, asking for credentials.

There is a resume at http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/bathres.html that should take care of any concerns. I have had several books and hundreds of articles in print, and work in many fields. Your entry could just as easily have covered my role as a major author during the first generation of personal computers (1979-85), the post-Fluxus art movement (1973-78), Vermont's Alliance of Independent Country Stores of which I'm director (2001-present), as bibliographer of playwright Kenneth Sawyer Goodman (published by the Newberry Library, albeit with "Bathory" spelled as "Batory"), or even as an experimental elementary schoolteacher (for which I won the Regional Laboratory for Educational Improvement's New England Regional Award).

My music has been reviewed in the New York Times and the Village Voice (along with print, broadcast and online reviews, references all available on my music catalog page), but my concentration has been online since 1981, with my influence deliberately outside of academia.

The Kalvos & Damian radio show hosted by David Gunn and me won the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award in 2000, which you can easily verify, as you can my appearance on Travel and Discovery channels with respect to my opera (http://bathory.org/). My conducting work has appeared in the accompanying CD to the Longman Anthology of English Literature. I was just talking about my groundbreaking "We Are All Mozart" project on New York's WKCR last week.

If you're looking for academic references, though, you won't find many. Those thousands of hits online represent my work in the very area that Wikipedia used to build its own reputation -- the edge of new information.

I'm not making a case for a Wikipedia entry; folks can find me without it. My point is that the discussion I've been reading is very sloppy, the research poor, the logic unsubstantiated, and the commentary often ignorant.

Thanks, Dennis Bathory-Kitsz bathory@bathory.org

Indeed, while the image was fair use, it was a specific award offered by the image creator to various users, for explicit use on their userpages. --Salix alba (talk) 15:09, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... why was this image tagged as fair use? It was tagged as coat of arms or similar, and the creator wasn't obvious from the image descrioption. Then somene came along and tagged it as "no source", and I deleted it. Which is where we're at now. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 15:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it was User:Dmharvey who created it, [24]. He's away at the moment, so probably did not see the deletion warning when it came up. I can't say why he licenced if as such, probably as an award he did not want indicsriminant use. --Salix alba (talk) 16:08, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Further to Bathory-Kitsz deletion discussion

Hi again,

I have been following the deletion discussion. Since there seems to be a reluctance to do any homework on the part of some editors, may I offer the following assortment of links that are *not* to my own sites, but give a flavor of my 40-year career. They include reviews, books, awards, repertoire, etc. I'm afraid many other articles will require a physical library search, and finding my older books is difficult, but they're still listed on Amazon.

Speedy tagging of untagged images

As far as I could tell images with the untagged template aren't automatically tagged for speedy deletion after 7 days, as the category goes all the way back to August 29th and all the images from that day as well as the 30th should be deleted by now. Are you saying that the images in those categories automatically do get marked for speedy eventually? I'm not quite sure I understand. VegaDark 07:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I saw there was such a huge backlog that I figured those were being neglected, so I was tagging them. Perhaps more admins should visit that category as often as they visit Category:Candidates for speedy deletion in order ro reduce the backlog. VegaDark 07:42, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Image:Pilot2backgammon.jpg

Hello:

On September 6, you deleted an image as falling under "CSD I4: image from unknown source, tagged for more than 7 days." However, this is incorrect: The image was tagged as a television screen capture (by me) and noted its source as the pilot episode of the series. Further, the image clearly falls under fair use, and is specifically discussed in the article it was part of, Thematic_motifs_of_Lost: Their dichotomy is laid out in the show's pilot episode — Locke explains backgammon to Walt by holding up one black and one white piece, saying, "Two players, two sides — one is light, one is dark." I would appreciate returning the image; otherwise, I'll re-up it. --Leflyman^Talk 17:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

That was an incorrect summary I provided. The reason it was deleted is that it was not being used in any articles. As for "source", noting which episode the screenshot is taken from does not suffice; who took the screenshot (or where the screenshot came from, at least) must also be indicated. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 23:12, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

• Again, I took the screenshot. But putting myself as the "source" is an entirely silly suggestion, tantamount to claiming a need to list the editor who quotes a section of a book as the "source". The person who performs a screen capture is not a creator, nor originator -- the television broadcast itself is the source, just as a publication would be the source, not the person taking an extract of it. Your claim that it wasn't used is incorrect: Prior to your deletion of the image, it was used in the article I noted above -- you, yourself, removed it from that article: [25]. Again, please undelete the graphic, as well as returning it to the article prior to your deletion.--Leflyman^Talk 18:58, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

By "source", we mean that uploaders should just say where the particular file they uploaded came from. Although the show's content certainly wasn't produced or copyrighted by you, by making a screenshoot of a scene from the show you created a particular file containing part of the copyrighted content. This file of the screenshot didn't come from the show's producers. Alright, it's my fault and I shall now go set things right. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 05:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello,

I wonder if I could ask for your input a second time about this image which is proving more problematic than it should. I have tried to assist the uploader User:Leflyman in stating the source and creating a fair use rationale for the image through discussion on his talk page now in an archive. After waiting for a time to see if a source and rationale was forthcoming I removed it from the article Thematic motifs of Lost and tagged it as an image without source info. I see that the source was considered implied and that the image was eventually restored. After waiting a little longer to see if a fair use rationale was added I removed the image from the page and tagged it as orphaned. Leflyman has restored the image and deleted my tag. I wondered if you had any suggestions about how to proceed in convincing him of the need for a fair use rationale. He has suggested that I should write the rationale myself but I am not convinced that the image is fair use. Our most recent discussion is here and here. Sorry for involving you in such a trivial matter but I thought you might be able to help because you have been involved with this image in the past.--Opark 77 20:46, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I do not recall ever asking you for the reason behind your edits, or having even looked at the page in question or its discussion page in recent months. However, I must say that if you wish / have to explain your editing, writing your reason over the Discussion page will clear up the animousity better than an email between only two people.

AWB problem

Regarding this edit to Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, please note that converting the unicode string to exclamation disrupts the infobox, as it is then interpreted as wikitable markup. If you continue to use AWB to cleanup pages, please preview, especially when the converted code contains possible wiki syntax. I apologize for bringing up such an old edit, but I don't check that page very often (it's a rather horrible article currently) and just noticed it. Is there anything that can be added to tell AWB to not convert the unicode string? Thanks, Pagrashtak 05:35, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

So that's what happened when I left "make general cleanup and fixes" (or something like that) turned on. I'll check more carefully in future. (Notwithstanding the fact that I haven't used AWB since my user rename) Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 07:24, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't know about 69 but for 666, if it would be offensive to those groups of people (which btw there are plenty Christians among English speaking people), it should be avoided. WP:U says: "...so take care to avoid anything that might cause offence to someone from a different culture, religion, or ethnic group." I am inclined to reblock User:Chrisyy666.

September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors! What's New? September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves! Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there! The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself!

There's a cleanup action going on to remove old protected/deleted pages since usually the people recreating them give up after a couple of months. The reason behind it is that there are now so many p/d pages that they start showing up on google and randompage. Hence, the deletion of Fransesco.

MTR Vandalism Problems

I noticed that a vandal has been constantly vandalising MTR related pages, substituting the chinese characters with obscenities and phrases like "MTR shut up". I noticed that the vandal probably is operating from an open proxy, with the address having the range of 222.166.160.0-255. When I checked the WHOIS, it seems that the character is having a random IP address assigned by I-Cable, which is a Hong Kong ISP.

Instead of deleting my work (which I had not saved, not expecting deletion) could you please tell me what I did wrong so I can correct it?

If you're not going to explain why this was deleted, that's fine. I mean, it was copied directly from an arcile about another webcomic. Same format and same types of info and link. That's fine. Can I just have the text that was on it, please? Perhaps on my talk page?

Rock's Backpages

Why did you delete Rock's Backpages? In terms of notability, we have been reviewed by the Library Journal (http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6322018.html), listed in the top 20 music websites by the Observer newspaper (UK) and the Sunday Telegraph newspaper (UK), plus numerous other reviews in the music and mainstream press in both the UK and US. Therefore I believe we conform to the following Wikipedia guidelines: Criteria for web content

Web-specific content[3] is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:

  1. The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.
         * This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper and magazine articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations.[4]

I can supply you with a complete list of all references to Rock's Backpages if you so require. Meanwhile, I would ask you to reinstate Rock's Backpages' entry. Pringbat 11:57, 8 October 2006 (UTC)pringbat

--Pringbat 11:57, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, so you rinstated the Rock's Backpages page, but you cut large sections. Justify your cuts please.

I have put in external links to a number of the reviews we have had on the respective newspaper and magazine websites.

--Pringbat 13:17, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

The article as you submitted it looked exactly like a blatant advertisement for the website ("blatant advertising" also happens to be a reason why many articles get deleted). There is zero need to go into extra praise of the database features or the extensive list contributors in an encyclopedia article.

Also, please don't make a new section everytime you want to reply. If you wish to reply to this message, click the "edit" link next to the "Rock's Backpages" heading. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 13:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about new sections.

Would you like me to list for you all the pages on Wikipedia that list their contributors? Given the nature of what Rock's Backpages does, listing some contributors (many of whom have their own Wikipedia entries) is essential. Also, why then leave the list of magazines?

Regarding the, your term, 'praise' for the database features, I can assume on that basis that you'll pull the Discogs and All Music Guide entries on that basis?

As to the text you have deleted, please study the following:

"The articles are full text and fully searchable (by artist, date, genre, keyword etc.) including an'advanced search' option."

Saying 'full text' is to distinguish this database from 'list of title' databases. The above information is important for academic users.

"All the material in the database is presented with the full agreement and permission of the copyright holders – freelance writers and journalists – or of their estates."

You don't think this is important? Given the amount of stolen material and rights abuse online, this is not 'praise' but essential information.

I'm happy to remove the bit about it being a subscription site, though I would have thought that would be of interest to Wikipedia's users. I'm frankly baffled as to how what I wrote could be read as 'blatant advertising'.

No, it isn't.

If all the templates OrphanBot deals with ({{no source}}, {{no license}}, {{no copyright information}}, {{no copyright holder}}, and {{no rationale}}) are updated to use "<span id="delete-tag-date">", I can update the bot to use that to pick out the date. --Carnildo 06:42, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of my Stub on MC Bearman

I am dissapointed that you have deleted and locked my stub on MC Bearman, I am unsure in which way I have failed to convey his notability, in the context of the UK Grime scene he is particularly notable and he is a worthy addition to the category Grime artists. It is particularly hard to convey an artists notability in the context of the UK Grime scene as major record labels are unwilling to sign/promote artists therefore there is not a huge amount of referencing that can be done as promotional websites/albumn sales etc are not available. However I was under the impression that the internet and particularly wikipedia was supposed to be an environment in which specialist subjects can be catalogued and made accessible not just those that appeal to the masses. If you could kindly unlock the stub MC Bearman and address my concerns then I will re-write the article to convey the notability of this artist further. Thank you.

--213.120.245.71 15:41, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I have restored the last version of your text to this temporary page in your user space: User:Tullett2006/Mc Bearman. Please expand the article at this page. I have indicated in the page code placeholders for the sources and external links you'll want to add into the article. Once you have expanded the page, make a request on Deletion review to undelete the page, and make sure to mention that you have expanded the article at the temporary page. If no one disagrees after a week, an administrator will move the page back into its original title.

Lastly, you will want to refer to our music artiste biography guidelines as you expand the article. Articles which do not satisfy at least one of these "rules" mentioned therein are unlikely to be undeleted. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 08:30, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome!

Nice welcome template. Btw, while your signature in that template redirects to your talk page, I'm thinking "ask me on my talk page" should be auto-linked to the talk page of the user giving the welcome. It's a shortcut, and could be invaluable to users who don't know where that talk page is.

PS: Why the Don't type the 4 tildes? I see your template for generating it, now that I've previewed this, but it's contrary to the usual habit and the welcome message ("Please remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (Balsa10 11:00, 18 October 2006 (UTC))"). I presume you have a special reason for doing it, though I typed it automatically and had to delete it when I remembered. And just had to do it again (laugh).

I've been looking at the Stock Market ticker that is Recent Changes and noticed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olry which appears to still assert no notability of the professor. He appears like a cool person but not notable in the larger sense. I'd readd the db-bio template but it seems obvious they'd remove it again, which wouldn't solve anything. What's the proper thing to do in this instance? Balsa10 11:55, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I was about to summon an admin via your link, but it looks like you're on top of it for the moment. The message you left on Monique's talk page is not technically correct, as it hasn't yet been deleted, but it'll probably come true soon. Balsa10 12:20, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, it's being contested. Fascinating! If they can assert WP-type notability, I'll be surprised but pleased. Balsa10 12:21, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, there's some assertion of notability. Don't know if it'll be enough to pass the PROF test, as the AfD says, but I'm willing to keep an open mind. Adding those papers would definitely help, and the article would have to be vastly rewritten, emphasizing his notability, not how cool he is in Warcraft, but we'll see. Balsa10 12:40, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Btw, I was looking at your contributions and noticed " (Protected Image:Picture 001.jpg: generic image name [edit=sysop:move=sysop])" and I don't appear to be able to edit it as I'm a new guy. How'd you do that if you're not an admin? Balsa10 12:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

To be more gentile to the editors, you may wish to include in your "image will be deleted" posts a sentence that inform them of the Requesting copyright permission option. I really would have appreciated seeing a sentence such as, "As an alternate way of Wikipedia retaining the image, you may wish to review Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission."

A humble request for your opinion

Hello! I hope you are feeling fine. Recently, you expressed an oppose opinion with regards to my RfA. I would like to thank your feedback on this but I need another critical feedback from you. If you could spare a few minutes to voice any concerns you may be having with regards to my contributions to this project since my last RfA on this page, I would be most grateful. Once again, thank you for your time! --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 05:48, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Your changes to the Editor Review template

Hey, thanks for the edits you made to the template(s). You made the kind of changes that I didn't even knew could be made, in my ignorance, so it's good to see them done eventually. :) Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 07:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Netheril

Good day,

I see that the article Netheril had been deleted. I created this article as well as a hundred others in part of a wikiproject. As you can see it is related to this page: Geographical index of Toril, so, however big is the article, it does make sense in the context of the whole project, something that had certainly be overshadowed. Consequently, I'd would request this article to be put online again (especially considering that a lot of other FR articles, some even smaller, have not been deleted).

Adminship

Thank you so much for your expression of confidence! I have considered applying for adminship, but I don't think I'm ready just yet. I probably have to contribute more "behind the scenes". But now that you've suggested it, I'll do some research to find out how to better my chances of a successful application. So why aren't you an administrator, then? ... discospinster _talk 23:08, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Latin American Boxing

Jeffrey,

The reason I tried to changed that article is because of this insane paragraph:

• • • • "Latin America has had a great history in boxing, the two best countries are panama and cuba, wich has had the best champions, nicaragua and chile have also had great history.Puerto Rico and Mexico are the two worst latin american countries, with awful fighters every generation. Roberto Duran from panama is almost alaways considered to be the greatest latin amaerican boxer ever."****

I mean...COME ON...Puerto Rico and Mexico are the two worst Latin boxing producing countries???

THEY ARE THE TWO BEST!!

They have had the most champions by FAR, this is clearly the work of a hater.

Chile a great boxing history???

Name me ONE Chilean boxing champion worth something.

Please, this is a TRAVESTY!!!!!!!!

And the dude who wrote that garbage can't even spell properly.

Thanks you.

Hector. --Galactusz 05:04, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I've finally had the time during my long Wikibreak to thank the voters and commentors on my my RfA last month, and I thank you! I'll try again as previously planned in the late of spring, and hopefully I'll win it. I sure learned my lesson on a fair use image misplacement!!

A very Californian RfA thanks from Luna Santin

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of (97/4/4)! I've never been able to accept compliments gracefully, and the heavy support from this outstanding community left me at a complete loss for words -- so, a very belated thank you for all of your kind words. I have done and will continue to do the utmost to serve the community in this new capacity, wherever it may take me, and to set an example others might wish to follow in. With a little luck and a lot of advice, this may be enough. Maybe someday the enwiki admins of the future will look back and say, "Yeah, that guy was an admin." Hopefully then they don't start talking about the explosive ArbComm case I got tied into and oh what a drama that was, but we'll see, won't we? Surely some of you have seen me in action by now; with that in mind, I openly invite and welcome any feedback here or here -- help me become the best editor and sysop I can be. Again, thank you. –Luna Santin

Review Deletion of Wave Structure of Matter Wikipedia Article

Hello,

I have been away for 4 months and on my return discovered that pages on the Wave Structure of Matter have been deleted. I have spent the past day reviewing relevant guidelines and have posted a very detailed reply at my talk page;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Haselhurst

I believe that the reasons given for deletion are not valid, and I have spent considerable time explaining this in my talk page. Could you please read this and review this deletion.

Thanks, Geoff Haselhurst (26th October, 2006)

PS - I am a philosopher, so I take my work at Wikipedia very seriously (encyclopedias were first created by philosophers!). I also have a fairly large website (gets around 50,000 page views a day) so i don't get much time to work at Wikipedia. However, I notice that people keep putting articles back into Wikipedia on the Wave Structure of Matter (often quite poor) and because the original articles were deleted then these further articles also keep getting deleted. My point is that I did not put the Wave Structure of Matter page up originally, but I am convinced that this knowledge is important to Wikipedia, and it will also stop this confusion of pages continually being added by the public and then deleted without reason.

--Haselhurst 05:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my RfA

Thank you for supporting my RfA that I have passed with 73/2/1.--Jusjih 09:25, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, The Halo, Shreshth91 and HighwayCello 20:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

Thanks.

Request for undeletion of Context Sensitive Solutions

Hello,

I would like to request undeletion of the article on Context Sensitive Solutions. Here is the reasoning behind my request, which I also posted to the discussion page for the article:

"This article was deleted for a supposed copyright violation. However, the material in question is in the public domain. The lists that appear under the sections "Qualities of a CSS Project" and "CSS Principles" are generally agreed upon by transportation planners as defining the practice of Context Sensitive Solutions. They were originally produced at a conference sponsored by the state of Maryland Department of Transportation in 1998 and have since been reproduced online in several forums, including The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, Carter and Burgess (a private firm), and dozens more that can be produced with a Google search of "Qualities of Excellence in Transportation Design."

"In light of the consensus that has emerged around these principles (Federal legislation has referred to them as design criteria for the federal highway system, see SAFETEA-LU, Section 109.c.2.C), I believe it is justified and necessary to include them in this article. I have altered the citation format to make it clearer that the lists are not my words, and I re-directed the reference to point to the original document on the Maryland State Highway Administration website.

"Also, there is other material in this article besides those lists, which I believe should preclude full deletion."

Thanks for considering this request.

--Hobisfried 16:25, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your courteous reply. I appreciate your rigorous standards and welcome your suggestions. I realize that I have not met the burden of proof, and I would like your help understanding what conditions must be met to either prove that I have permission to use this material or prove that it is in the public domain. Since the source document is a PDF on the Maryland State Highway Administration website, would confirmation from a representative of that public agency be sufficient? I've already reviewed many pages pertaining to copyright protocol on Wikipedia, but I hope you'll be able to give an authoritative answer that will allow me to pursue a course of action free from doubt.

I understand that the most reasonable thing to do would be to find another way to convey the same ideas. However, the reason I'm resisting re-wording the disputed text is because my colleagues in the transportation planning field firmly believe this particular phrasing is intrinsic to the meaning of the term. Perhaps that stance is contrary to the very nature of Wikiedia, but I am trying to explore all available options to preserve the disputed wording before going another route.

I'm also curious as to why the entire article was deleted when the disputed text was only a portion of the whole. Is it possible to restore the remainder of the article?

Thanks again for your assistance.

--Hobisfried 04:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Toxic Pijin

it is insulting that an article for a notable do it yourself band {I.E a none signed band that has been on three tours thus far including a european one,} such as the pijin can not be added to wikipedia. Yet I see many inifinitely more pointless articles littering the server that don't deserve to be here. The moderation of this site is bigoted and hypocritical in nature. I propose you allow this article to be recreated and I shall spend a little more time adding images and information so you can see that this act are actually notable and unlike your pre conconceptions not a piece of petty trivia.. Toxic Pijin have been around for three years they have a wide cult fanbase in both europe and England. They have produced four albums in this time period I am very insulted by the fact I create a user name, log in, start to create and article and it is deleted twice and before I can add my coding to it you decide to protect it so I cannot recreate it again and add my further editing. Also I find it very hypocritical to send me a message claiming I am not contributing when in all fairness I have tried to contribute but you have deleted it twice!

I apologise for swearing at you I was merely making a point not everyone has the time you do on your hands and I would appreciate it if you would consider that

thanks

re: toxic pijin I notice that I can claim the completed article as notable under point 3 . Criteria for musicians and ensembles - Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,[1] reported in notable and verifiable sources. "There are, at present, no precise definitions of a "small", "medium" or "large" country in this context. However, a very limited definition of "small" will generally be used, excluding only a few of the world's smallest countries."

I therefore propose I produce links to reviews of their european tour last year and a scan of their media coverage. I have several reviews of their recent england "Oberon gisepe wemblequest" tour. I would also like to add that no other band in the world throws bread, brocoli, dog food at their audience and no other band has the balls to throw tabasco sauce in their eyes and express their pain through feedback and anger.. I am also sure no other band has songs about the number 27, tea breaks, ikea and preaching teachers who tell you to "get in the cupboard with jesus and think about what you've done". I admit I have a hard task ahead to convice you but they are worthy of inclusion due to the fact by their very nature the toxic pijin go out of their way to offend everyone.

You deleted Publimedia International as {{csd-g11}}, which it was. However, I think the company is a notable Romanian publishing company, and it would be helpful if you could restore the article and turn it into something NPOV, if necessary by turning it into a stub. I wasn't the original author, but I was trying to expand another article written by the same author and saw your note on the user's talk page about the deletion of Publimedia International. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 14:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Subiaco Marist Cricket Club

Jeffrey,

Thank you for the feedback (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subiaco_Marist_Cricket_Club, Nov 15). It is fair that the reader shouldn't have to take the author's word for it when the words "renowned" and "notable" are used. As such, these assertions have now been backed up by references to the 24 state championships claimed by the club and the 11 SMCC players who have represented their countries at the highest level. In terms of achievement and contribution to the sport of cricket, these criteria are more reliable than the number of Google entries.

Thank you JoshuaZ. My intention was definitely not to spam anyone, but W.marsh's initial concern was that those who had voted Keep in the first round didn't know about the second, and the agreement we had apparently reached involved notifying them (thus my comment to Awyong and the two others). When the nomination went up a third time on procedural grounds, I thought it was only fair to re-notify the Delete votes as well. Believe me, I understand very well that it's bad form to go out soliciting for votes, and totally unacceptable to do it on random User_talk pages, but that wasn't what I was doing in this case (nor would I ever). --Arvedui 09:09, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Hiya, I have just noticed that you speedily deleted Vangelis (Buffyverse) & User:Mets501 speedily deleted In the Heavyskies (WP:AfD/Vangelis & WP:AfD/In the Heavyskies). I can see that at present they are not very notable since they are unlikely to see the light of day until at least 2007, and even then it will remain to be seen if they are covered by some notable sources. Would it be possible for the article to be put onto my user space:

User:Paxomen/In the Heavyskies, User:Paxomen/Vangelis (Buffyverse)

I put a lot of work into the articles, researching them on the web and writing them, and would be interested in using my work, on a Buffy wiki (e.g. http://buffy.wikia.com/wiki/Buffyverse_Wiki).

I would have saved the content myself for use elsewhere, but I was never informed about the deletions. Please could you help out.

Album covers tagged by sockpuppet vandal

Please be more careful when deleting images tagged with {{no source}}.

Please advise me

I posted User:Xyz_or_die on the vandalism page and you deleted him stating that his last edit wasn't vandalism. So please advise me on what action to take. His last six edits have been identical edits to an article to stick an unfounded opinion in. The first time, it's an honest mistake, but he's done it at least 10 or 12 times now after repeated warnings on his talk page which he doesn't respond to and ignores every attempt to explain what 'opinion' and what 'documented fact' is. There is no evidence he will stop making the same edit over and over again. If he can't be banned for vandalizing, what action can be taken? Thank you TheHYPO 13:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

RE: I do perceve it at vandalism. I do not, in good faith perceve it as vandalism in the first instance. I do perceve it as vandalism if they ignore repeated explainations on THEIR talk page (not the article's) that the content is not appropriate and simply make the same edit 6 times in a row (and several times before that). It's not a content dispute because there is no dispute - the person has made no communications, and if they did there would be no argument. An opinion "this song is similar to that song" has no basis on wikipedia - particularly without any citation. Nor is the fact that the same writer (who has written dozens and dozens of hit songs) happened to write these two, even arguably worth mentioning. The vandalism isn't the comment in itself. It's ignoring any discussion and repeatedly forcing it upon the articles. If I went into The Simpsons and kept writing "This is a really really great show, and the same guys created Futurama." in the lead, and ignored any request to stop adding that, I'd expect to get banned.

A message from SupaStarGirl

I am sorry about my "vandalism" of the Afd page (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United States). However, I never intended to become a vandal, and just wanted to play a joke once.

I never intended to hurt anybody:

• It was an obvious joke, and I only did it once.
• The joke was done with intention that the entry was not serious, and that the article would not be deleted. Only true vandals would really want to delete the article on the United States.
• The sentence "Non-notable place. Too few people." was not meant to be serious either. In fact, I'm from the USA!
• AfD is part of Wikipedia, but not part of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. It won't give people any misinformation.
• The most important reason: On Special:Contributions/SupaStarGirl, the joke is surrounded by real AfD votes and vandal reversions. I would never convert to vandalism.

I am truly sorry. Thank you. SupaStarGirl 14:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and P.S., your userpage looks exactly like your talk page. Some users do not have a userpage, and make their userpages redirects to their talk pages. At first I thought you were one of them! SupaStarGirl 14:33, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use pics

Theoretically, we can use a whole pile of fair use pics of Ian Thorpe to describe historical races right? As they are "replaceable" as we can't go back in time? A few people are insisting on multiple pictures for the FAC.....Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Like stuff from the BBC? and ABC? Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

It appears as though in many articles on actors like Shahrukh Khan you can describe the subject in the actual event - like {some pic - SRK portrays the title character in Devdas}, so I think you could put a pic of {Thorpe competes in some event at a past olympics}. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:34, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I thought Quadell was pretty strict but it seems he has added a fair use picture to Grant Hackett which shows Hackett winning in Sydney 2000. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:36, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

A Bad Dream

Thanks for clearing the page up a little bit, but it's a waste of time. This article has been deleted several times after a unanimous AFD[28], and is just being recreated by the User:Fluence, who is destructively precious about his low quality contributions. I've asked another sysop to help out with this, but he doesn't seem to be active right now. As you've turned your attention to the page, perhaps you could deal with the matter and with Fluence? He's been blocked for this sort of behaviour before, and certainly isn't hiding his intentions with comments like "suffer now Mekon, Mr. Scare, Richyard. Added back article. Reverted vandalism" (calling official deletions of his content "vandalism" is part of his overall pattern, and something that should be addressed, I feel) and "I told you stubborn: A Bad Dream. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!" (on my talk page). The Mekon 05:21, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Ivy Goh Nair

Thanks for the advice on my talk page about removing the article Ivy Goh Nair from this Singapore talk page. I am learning something new everyday.

Afd - 2nd nomination procedure?

Hi - I see you deleted The Fortunate Sons which I had attempted to do a second nomination for. I had nominated a previous incarnation of this article, although for a different, non-notable unsigned band. For future reference, can you tell me, or at least point me to, the procedure for nominating an article for a second time? Thanks. Camillus (talk) 14:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

The Bayesian Poisoning article is my own work!

Re: Bayesian Poisoning.

I wrote the article the you are referring to both the Wikipedia version and the original. I am the copyright holder of the original text and can decide what I do with it. I cannot change the version on the Virus Bulletin site to release if under the FDL because they are licensing that writing from me for their site, but I can put it on Wikipedia if I want to since it's my writing in the first place.

John.

Your edits to "A Bad Dream".

I'm not arguing about what I've said to The Mekon since all he has said to me in the past. I mean, let's not get involved in that. However, I MUST TELL YOU. The article about the single you've just deleted HAS BEEN CONFIRMED to be released as you can see here:[29] and here [30]. So if you can't believe me please visit these pages to see why I keep on reverting the article. So I'm just requesting the unprotection of the page to finally create the article. Please don't let the Wikipedia fail now.--Fluence 16:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

OK. Hope it works.

A Bad Dream on deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of A Bad Dream. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review.--Fluence 17:01, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your support and well, I didn't take "silly" as an offense so don't worry if you thought that ;). I hope this can be solved soon. I also thank you for showing me another thing about Wikipedia on the deletion review. I'll avoid making also crystal-ball articles in the future!--Fluence 01:00, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

re: Category:Date of birth missing

Good evening. Per the discussion about privacy concerns expressed at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of birthdays, date of birth should generally not be added to the biographies of living non-public or semi-public figures. So far, that policy has been interpreted fairly strictly with a pretty high bar being set for the definition of "public figures" who are assumed to have given up their rights to privacy.

By the same token, we should not be adding Category:Date of birth missing to articles unless we have made the case that the person meets the "public figures" threshold. Otherwise, we're just baiting new users into adding content even though the community has already said that we shouldn't include that particular data point. Category:Year of birth missing is okay but the exact date is often not. Thanks for your help. Rossami (talk) 02:16, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

You deleted my article!!!

im seriously annoyed you deleted my article for no reason! did you even read the talk page? i wrote my reasons for the article there and for ppl NOT to delete it. Seriously. What was wrong with "Peter Marshall (16yr old bum)"??? Why couldnt you just leave it? But, no. Ppl like you have to make everything 'perfect'. grrr. i spent a whole ten mins writing that tribute article. Only for it to be deleted because it didnt 'assert the importance of blah blah blah'.

About Xunlei _

Do you think the site http://www.marbridgeconsulting.com/newsletter/archive/xunlei_bitcomet_cooperate_on_legal_video_downloads.htm is a reliable source that can prove Xunlei is notable enough?

If not, read these tow articles here(article one , article tow) as well. Both of the articles come from blog. However, I am not sure whether articles from blog can be considered as reliable sources.

Besides the sources above, there are still somethings I intend to tell you. First , in my opinion, Xunlei is notable enough because one can easily find a lot of things, which are independent of Xunlei's company themselves, concering to Xunlei by using Google to search "Xunlei" as a key word. If you still do not believe, TRY HERE!
Second, it may be positive if you delete the article of Xunlei, because Xunlei is , indeed, nothing more than a malicious software that will cost a lot of problems(Xunlei decieve its users by lying them that there is no problem). On of these problems is as the number of Xunlei's user(they are mainly Chinese) keeps on increasing, the downlaod speed of non-Xunlei users will become more and more sluggish. So, to remove the article about Xunlei from wikipedia will certainly reduce Xunelie's probablity of becoming famous all over the world. Now I will not remove the "{{notability}}" in page of Xunlei, without your agreement. And I will try my best to find the reliable sources for you.

TELL ME, if you change your viewpoint.

Deletion request on French Wikipedia

Hi. You need to let me know why you want it deleted. I looked at it and I do see a link to alt.sex stories, etc., but most of the rest seems to be cell phone and news-related. Maybe I'm missing something, but I was under the impression that userspace is separate from Wikispace and that a user can, by and large, have whatever he wants on a page. Am I mistaken? -FateSmiled&DestinyLaughed 10:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Here's the thing -- I agree with you, he's probably not using all those links for any sort of purpose on Wikipedia. And I suppose I see how you'd want to get rid of it. However, I don't see anything negative or disruptive about his page. Therefore, at this time, I'm unwilling to get it deleted. Maybe you know of something specific this user has done... If I could give you some advice tho -- if this is deleted, it'll probably be recreated. I know it's frustrating, but you might want to leave it alone. -FateSmiled&DestinyLaughed 17:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Momoj's "not apparent vandalism"

How can you seriously claim that someone that repeatedly inserts comments implying that a company is proud of poor customer service is not engaged in vandalism? I have never been so ashamed at the non action taken on a vandal. I wasn't looking for indefinite, but to have no block at all is just plain wrong. Multiple warnings ignored...if I thought I could express myself and remain civil, I'd be leaving a much longer note. Severely disappointed. --Onorem 03:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

It is not vandalism according to any interpretation of WP:VAND. POV can be re-worded and he did attempt to provide sources justifying the criticism. Kimchi.sg 15:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree. I would consider it to be Sneaky vandalism by the definition at WP:VAND, specifically "Adding misinformation".

In his first edit, he claims, "Best Buy is proud of its top performance for dissapointing customer service. Best Buy has worked hard to create a brand that is synonomous with bait and switch tactics and various other strategies that deliver an unexpected level of customer satisfaction."

In his next 3 edits, he claims, "The company is proud of its undesirable customer service. Best Buy has earned a top notch reputation for bait and switch tactics which have succeeded in giving customers unparallaled experiences."

His next 2 edits create a new section to once again claim they are proud of having bad customer service.

Then, once he finally stopped trying to make it sound like bad customer service was something the company was proud of, he began reverting any changes that were in the way to get to his own previous edit, losing multiple good edits in the process.

He has since been indefinitely banned...although I had to sit out for 24 hours after accidently reverting his vandalism too much.

Oh well...I guess I'll just accept that we disagree. --Onorem 15:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Was it untrue or incorrect? Please do not mix up "POV edits" with "outright misinformation". Kimchi.sg 15:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

It was untrue and incorrect. Their customer service might suck. They might not care that it sucks. They aren't proud that it sucks. His edits were disruptive and deserved a warning from you at least. He's blocked now, so like I said...I'll just agree to disagree. --Onorem 16:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
