explanation
[edit]I removed an unreference tag from an article that already had references.
I see now you added the tag, and then added the references.
There are, I am afraid, some contributors who go around slapping tags like {{unreferenced}} on articles without regard to whether they are applicable, based on their personal cultural biases. I thought this tag application was an example of that.

The new “It” article
[edit]This article has endless potential for inflation. It's a good thing hard disks are cheap. Cheers, Jack Merridew 13:26, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- Holy moly! Perhaps someone, someday will think to themselves "where can I get a list of fictional vehicles from?" but it seems unlikely. I think my favourite "list of fictional X" article is List of fictional airborne aircraft carriers. Or possibly List of fictional aliens which should just have contained the sentence "All of them." pablohablo. 13:48, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- Priceless. And I added your {{ridiculous}} list to “it”. Cheers, Jack Merridew 14:56, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- I know! You would have thought that any list of fictional narcissists would start with the man himself. Most of these lists have about as much purpose as this one. pablohablo. 15:08, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- I was thinking of adding this to the list of fictional vehicles, referencing Cities in Flight - what do you think? Hal peridol (talk) 17:00, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- I suppose a flying city would count as a vehicle. pablohablo. 18:23, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

This page has been moved to Manchester North (previously Pheonics), with the claim that the team has changed their name, however their website here does not bear this out.

Regarding G. Shanmugam
[edit]A Good Morning to you (at least it's morning here). To deny a speedy deletion it is sufficient if there are alegations of notability (which in this case were there: "...eminent.." and "...leading the institute to become one of the best self financed...". I agree that the article would probably be deleted via an AfD, but speedy is out of the question. Cheeers and happy editing. Lectonar (talk) 06:55, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Nice tidy-up; thanks. For the avoidance of doubt; I had tagged it for speedy deletion because my initial edit to remove the most blatant of spam was reverted and the purpose of the article seemed clear. Your edits are more thorough and will hopefully prevent a recurrance of the spam, but I will keep in on my watchlist. I42 (talk) 20:19, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- Oh it was a blatant advert alright, and I completely understand your tagging it as such. I'm still not 100% convinced about its notability, but I think it's a fairly respectable stub now. I'll be watching too. pablohablo. 20:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
I expanded, sourced, and added reviews. I think between the 2 of us, we have saved the article. I asked the nom to consider a withdrawal of the AfD. A rename to The Legend of Gator Face can follow a "keep". Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 21:18, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
- Wow! I go out for an evening of jazz and food, and that's what happens! Perhaps I should go out more often. I'm thinking of buying this film for my next horror movie spectacular evening, see how it stacks up with with Night of the Lepus, Troll 2 and Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2. Great job with the structure and the sources, the "plot" needs attention, but I haven't yet seen the film so someone else can sort that out. pablohablo. 22:23, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
- Keep in mind that it IS a children's film intended to teach tolerance.... so I doubt if it will send any chills up your spine. Think its now worth keeping? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:52, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't think I would find it particularly scary. I'm always ready to watch a great film, but I have a special affection for films which, despite trying hard, are not that good, and this sounds like one. Apologies to all the cast and crew if I'm wrong, and I will kiss their collective bum when I've seen the film if so.
- Do I think it's worth keeping? Personally, yes. As far as Wikipedia's guidelines go, maybe/probably. pablohablo. 23:13, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well... it enjoy the film. And hey... that will allow a better plot section! Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 00:25, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

A page in your userspace
[edit]Please advise if you would have any objection to my deleting this page at this time. While I might understand the reason it was originally created, its contents are not really a proper use of userspace, and some of the "see also" links that have been added are really inappropriate for a humor page. Thank you, Newyorkbrad (talk) 14:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- If you think that is for the best, go ahead, (just not as a G10!). I don't think it's likely to attract a {{rescue}} tag.
- Note that this page was created before the arbitration case, and I would have requested deletion myself by now had it not been referred to and linked several times (not by me) in the same case. pablohablo. 16:42, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Naming of articles
[edit]Hello Pablo, you raised several interesting points in your email to me about naming, but I think it is best to do it in a forum where others can participate in a discussion. Perhaps WT:Naming conventions is the palce. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC
- Thanks for pointing me to this - I thought there would be an appropriate forum for it somewhere. Now I just have to trawl the archive to see if I would be resurrecting a dead horse! If not I will probably raise it over the weekend. pablohablo. 09:04, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
I've added a couple of refs, everything else that I've found so far just describe her as "yesteryear heroine", still trying though. If you can find a credible reference for the three movies I've posted on the talk page and Rickshawkaran 1971 (movie was on at theatres for 163 consecutive days), that might give some details. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 06:29, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Can you take a look at the page? Do you think it might be a good candidate for ARS? Since I normally don't add rescue tags, I don't know. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 19:10, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- I never add rescue tags! But go ahead, there are a few fine source-miners amongst the people who monitor {{rescue}}-tagged items. On a quick look, I think that this article will probably survive its AfD. I'll look in more detail later, or maybe tomorrow. pablohablo. 19:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Can you help?
[edit]Indian movies lacking sources, as usual. Arappatta Kettiya Gramathil should pass WP:NF, but seriously lacking in sources and I haven't been able to find much other than casual mentions, but it has a very very notable Director, and a very, very, notable actor in the lead role. Ee Parakkum Thalika not much info other than it was a hit and remade in other languages. Can you help with sourcing, like you did on Manjula? Thx. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 18:58, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

The Full Monty (phrase); a bloke who thinks that he and his mate invented it speaks.
[edit]Hello there, I'm wondering why you reverted the information I provided back to it's original, and I must say, incorrect state?
Your ""addition of bollocks"" comment isn't helpfull either.
The information I've provided is in fact the origin to the phase, and therefore, I've reverted it back. The original article (yours?) states the phrase is of "uncertain origin". It isn't uncertain at all, it's well known to all living in the Preston area.
IF you want to live in ignorance and prove you're just being a cock, please change it back to it's orignal, false state. MrTiffUK (talk · contribs), via e-mail
- Because it was untrue. The phrase was in use before 1988.
- Agreed it may have not been helpful. Your addition was, however bollocks.
- No it isn't— see (1). Note that the article is not "mine".
- Your face.

[edit]Thanks for the note. I'm not going to comment on it (though I've tweaked a couple of technicalities), since at this stage I'm not convinced it's going to be productive. Someone apparently convinced of a broad consipiracy to delete their efforts, is likely to just see it as an extension of that conspiracy. I can never see the best way to deal with these situations, a brief look doesn't suggests they've formed any real links with other editors who they may respect enough to guide them, and it'd be difficult for anyone else to step in and help them move forward. --82.7.40.7 (talk) 20:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

AfD for Sharara
[edit]Hello. You suggested at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sharara that both Attia Sharara and Shararat are possible DAB targets for Sharara. I don't speak Urdu or Arabic, so I can't really evaluate that suggestion. Do you you happen to speak either language, or both? Barring that, do you know of another editor who does and who we might ask to weigh in at the AfD? Thanks, Cnilep (talk) 17:50, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- I speak some Urdu (where it overlaps with Hindi) and less to no Arabic. I read neither Arabic nor Urdu. I suggested a dab because the words are similar enough for a typo (there are films called Sharara and Shararat). I am pretty sure both words are from the same root, one meaning "a spark" and the other meaning "impish, mischievous". Typos are particularly likely given that both words are transliterated from other writing systems - consider Paratha, Parantha; Mohammed, Mahomet, Muhammad etc. pablohablo. 19:56, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure you're right about the common root, and I see your point about variable transliteration. Thanks for clearing up your thinking. Cnilep (talk) 20:06, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for asking, perhaps I could have been clearer at the AfD. I have added the gist of the above. Seeing as most Sharara(t)s do not have an article yet the disambiguation page as I suggested it would be a mass of redlinks, but these do sometimes serve to encourage people to start the article that they were looking for. pablohablo. 20:23, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
[edit]Hi
I don't remember my exact edit, but I do remember it had something to do with another person claiming that FBDO had inspired films that were made BEFORE FBDO.
OK I found the entries
Original:
The filming of Ferris Bueller's Day Off in the Chicago area boosted the area's reputation and inspired other Brat Pack films of the 1980s like Class, About Last Night... and Risky Business to film in the same geographic area.
My reply (which I am pretty sure was a note, not an edit)
Risky Business & Class were filmed 3 years before FBDO About Last Night was filmed concurently. Source; Wikipedia
So how is it that my comments were not constructive?
I noticed that 3 days later someone came along after you and pretty much repeated what I had said. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ferris_Bueller%27s_Day_Off&diff=295087127&oldid=294583467 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.101.59.91 (talk) 22:41, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Image move?
[edit]{{helpme}} I have uploaded a file File:CompletePlainWords5thImpresson1959.jpg. This is in fact an edition of the book from 1958, (typo in filename). Although the name of the file isn't wildly important I would like to move it to File:CompletePlainWords5thImpresson1958.jpg but I can't do this. pablohablo. 21:31, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, a software limitation prevents images from being moved from one filename to another. Re-upload the image under the correct filename. Then tag the image with the incorrect filename for speedy deletion. I think criteria F1 (redundant image) is most appropriate, but it will also fit under F5 (unused unfree image). If you don't know how to tag an image for speedy deletion, the linked page has instructions. Xenon54 / talk / 21:37, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi pablomismo...I have sited references for many of the statements in nandamuro balakrishna ( http:http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/button_italic.png//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nandamuri_Balakrishna), But why are you deleting the whole article, If you feel something is biased, please let me know, i will try to get the referece for that.Please let it have atleast biorgraphy and filmography, which cant be biased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.88.33.254 (talk) 13:36, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
- Nobody's deleting the whole article. NBK is a notable actor, and deserves an article.
- However - his fan site is not a reliable source, neither are blogs, nor is the likes of Telugupedia, or the IMDB. So we then have a problem - we need to find sources that are unbiased, reliable, and give us a high degree of confidence that what they report is fact.
- I agree that there should be biography and filmography sections, but we need to take out opinions that are not written from a neutral point of view. For instance
- he is good in all types of roles
- Balakrishna always experimented with roles that would inhibit other stars
- This is one of the unique feats that none of his contemporaries would ever dare to try
- are all opinion rather than fact.
- In addition claims that are made such as
- Film pundits thought Balakrishna deserved a Nandi for his Peddannyya performance
- claim to know what "film pundits thought". We need a reference so that we can read what the pundits thought rather than having an interpretation of it presented to us as fact.
- Do you see the problem? pablohablo. 20:25, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Agency
[edit]Anthony Giddens gives a good view on structure/agency problems. The idea is that there are multiple feedback loops between agency and structure (both positive and negative). Some actions generate structure but other actions may take structure as a given (in a nested sense, you can consider the structure creating actions as taking some other structure as given). It is a nice escape from the obviously incorrect enlightenment view of rationality and individuality and the stifling post-modern Foucauldian view of structure as dominating and totalizing.

At 09:44, 20 October 2009 (UTC)Anna Lincoln approved this change. See discussion on her talk page. I will now make the change again.Bobbieball (talk) 10:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- Anna may have, however I believe that her first actions, when you were editing under IP address 80.41.73.114 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), were correct. You should not be censoring this article, and you should definitely not be edit-warring to do so. I will seek another opinion. pablohablo. 10:43, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

a possible sockpuppet speaks ...
[edit]Hello, why am i a sockpuppet? what is that? I've never used wiki b4 untill now, i made an account to stick up for GPRO.... so why have i been made a sockpuppet? Peterjr-07 (talk) 13:08, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
- You, and those other two accounts, turned up at the same time and focussed on the same AfD. A sockpuppet is the same person operating more than one account.
- However, given the amount of canvassing that you and others have been doing here maybe the sock allegation is moot. pablohablo. 14:12, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Central link to unsourced articles
[edit]{{helpme}}
If you view Category:Articles lacking sources from March 2008, there is a box entitled "Articles lacking sources" which appears to the right of the page. I would like to transclude that box directly to a userpage, but I can't figure out where it comes from. Thanks! pablohablo. 12:24, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
- It's {{Articles lacking sources progress}}. Regards, AJCham 12:31, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) It's here: Template:Articles lacking sources progress, which (when entered on the page as

gives the following:

Ecolig
[edit]Just a friendly heads up on Ecolig, which you prodded a couple of weeks ago. Another editor has requested the article be restored, so I have restored it as a contested prod per the usual practice. I've advised the editor here that the article may end up at AfD -- feel free to take it there if you like. Cheers!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:16, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks - still on my watchlist, I'll see what, if anything, happens to it in the next few days. ps - gender assumption fine. pablohablo. 23:24, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Ecolig
[edit]Dear Pablo, I appreciate the opportunity to keep the Ecolig name as a contribution to Wikipedia. About the paper (pay per view) you described as a possible reason to start a deletion process, if you prefer, I can send you a free copy of that article and exclude that reference in Ecolig Wikipedia description. Thanks for your support. Rgds, Paulo Miguel Paulomiguel (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:26, 7 December 2009 (UTC).
- Thanks for the offer, but unfortunately that won't help you very much. It's not a matter of whether I've seen the paper, the problem is that (last time I looked) there was no evidence that "Ecolig" had been reviewed or commented on by anyone apart from you. Our policy on sources states that articles should contain references to multiple, independent reliable sources. Magazines, peer-reviewed journals and books are all useful, also news sources.
- Since this was undeleted, the article has not been changed do add those independent sources. I have posted a note at WT:WikiProject Science to hopefully get some more eyes on this article, however I will be nominating it for deletion if it isn't sourced soon. pablohablo. 15:42, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
