Thanks for the wordy and quite kind post. Apologies for the error; Previous user didn't explain what the correct way of handling it was. --RichardMills65 (talk) 03:31, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Eh, no worries. (I was pretty verbose, huh?)Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:36, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

a good start...

See my comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beauty and the Beast (2009 film). The 2009 and 2003 films were shot at different times, at different locations, and by different production companies. Only thing they share in common is the director... apparently selling his idea a second time. I do note that the earlier film has been retitled and think that this current one perhaps could be retitled... but it does have enough decent sources available to show independent notability. At the AFD you can see only a few of the many I found when my own google-foo kicked in. Good looking out. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:59, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Researcher's Barnstar

		Researcher's Barnstar
		I am both pleased and honored to present you with the Researcher's Barnstar in appreciation for your work in finding sources showing Beauty and the Beast (2009 film) as worthy enough for inclusion with Wikipedia as a separate article. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:04, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I Survived BTK

Thanks for taking the time to respond. In response, I would like to inquire about your sources which lead you to believe that the film was released in Canada in 2007 and if you have any information on who supposedly distributed it. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.88.186 (talk) Caramelx129 08:13, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

This link has 2007 marked as the date of release.[1] This link [2] is for a 2008 award, which are 99.9% of the time given out the year following the film's release. (So they can take all of the films released that year into consideration.) As far as who distributed it, I maybe the site would remember?Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:23, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

A pedantic question

Hi, my apologies but I've a bit of a follow-up question for your !vote here. One issue I'd like clarification of is whether you think the murder itself, or Bart Whitaker, are notable. I'm honestly not sure, and I don't have enough experience with BLP1E to say. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated (but of course, feel free to decline if you're not sure yourself). Thanks, WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 19:13, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I wanna thank you...

...for lighting the way. Encouraged by the sources you brought to the article and by those I brought to the AFD, the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beauty and the Beast (2009 film) was quickly closed as keep/withdrawn by the nominator. Perhaps he might look beyond current state and judge stubs a bit less harshly in the future. Anyway... the stub has now gone through a 21x expansion and become a C-class since its nomination. We have enough sources to expand it much further... but perhaps you might suggest an interesting and suitable DYK for such this film, by which we could draw in additional editor? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:02, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Re: potential conflict of interest

Thank you for the information, Tokyogirl79. I'm new here so I didn't immediately know how to respond. Anyway, to address your very valid concerns I do not know any of the authors I have edited/created, although I admit do follow Nathan Farrugia on Twitter and I have subscribed to his blog. Despite this, I am trying to remain as neutral as possible. Your edits have helped greatly and I've continued to improve on my Wiki pages since then. It's actually been a fun challenge to strip away as many primary sources as possible. I'm still using primary sources for everyone's date of birth and place of birth, but I'm hoping that's permissible. Thank you again. Zippy2012 (talk) 14:56, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Konrath article

Why did you bother doing all that work on the J.A. Konrath article? He's a nobody. Are we to give full encyclopedia entries to every bad ebook writer who can't keep his mouth shut? That article is a perfect example of why Wikipedia will never be taken seriously. 174.91.6.120 (talk) 18:52, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Maybe he's a nobody to you and maybe even I don't really see what all of his fuss is about, but that does NOT mean that we should refrain from adding sources to an article. Konrath has been quoted in multiple journals as well as having been reviewed in several independent and reliable sources, which shows notability per Wikipedia guidelines. I can't help but feel that you personally dislike Konrath. Outside of editing Wikipedia, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. When you begin to edit an article that's when you need to leave personal biases at the door. Personal bias is NEVER a good reason to keep from improving an article or to suggest that it should be removed because you don't like the writer, don't agree with him, or think that he's overly vocal. As far as being less respected, I would think that Wikipedia would be taken less seriously for letting our personal feelings get in the way of improving an article or trying to rescue something from deletion. No offense meant, but he seems to pass notability guidelines and personal emotions should not stand in the way of editing. Also, please refrain from editing AfD discussions after they've been closed. If you have any issues with the results, feel free to bring it up at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 19:04, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

I don't have anything personal against him but based on what you've written above clearly you're letting emotion negatively affect your judgement. His being vocal isn't an argument against inclusion but apparently one for it. He writes a blog and contributes to others but that and the few mentions in legitimate non-blog media aren't enough to warrant an article on him. Should he have an entry when so many others of the same degree do not simply because he makes more noise? No. The inclusion of people like that does make Wikipedia look bad. It makes it seem amateur, a place where anyone can have an entry as long as they have a few sources for the details of their unremarkable career. 76.64.153.241 (talk) 01:22, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Well, you've got to see it from my point of view. I find enough sources to show that Konrath passes Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Not my guidelines, Wikipedia's. I get a note from someone saying that the article should be removed because they personally don't think that he's notable, that he's a bad writer, that he can't keep his mouth shut, etc. To me that comes across as you saying that the article should be removed because you personally don't like Konrath, which is against the spirit of Wikipedia. We don't remove articles because someone doesn't like them, nor do we remove them even if the article subject doesn't exactly fit the idea of a respected writer. If you have nothing against Konrath, then that's great- it just comes across to me like your reasons behind wanting the article to be deleted are more from a personal point of view than from a WP:AUTHOR POV. This is just the way Wikipedia works. If you can find enough coverage for someone over long enough periods of time, then yes- that would show notability per Wikipedia's guidelines. The thing is, if you have a problem with it then you should sign up with an account and take part in some of the discussions on the talk pages for notability for individual people. Coming onto my page and complaining doesn't accomplish anything, nor does vandalizing the AfD page. If you want the standards of Wikipedia to be changed to be more strict, then WP:BEBOLD and do something about it. Just make sure that you back up your ideas with something more that WP:IDONTLIKEIT because there are a lot of people who don't want things changed. Am I one of them? Sometimes. I happen to agree that some of the standards for notability are rather wide, but unless I am going to actively try to change something and complain about it in the forums that can actually do something about it, then my complaining is pretty meaningless. Seriously, rather than complaining on my talk page you should try going to Wikipedia talk:Notability (people) and try to start changing Wikipedia policies there. I'm glad that you feel that you can be vocal with me and I encourage that, but this just doesn't really accomplish much because I'm neither an admin nor someone that has the time to go about changing Wikipedia notability guidelines because stuff like that takes a lot of time.

You know somethin' I don't?

"this isn't exactly a self-published book" - I've looked at Leadstart and they appear conventional. Have I missed something? (Currently can't even get into the site...) PS You can chuck Doritos at me any time. Peridon (talk) 13:25, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Lol, I was sort of being a little facetious when I said that. It looks like Leadstart is an actual publisher, but is one of the ones where they pick up the books and then do absolutely nothing with them publicity-wise, essentially making the author do all of the work as if they'd published them via CreateSpace.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 13:29, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

That could perhaps explain why I couldn't find the book there, but there were some others listed (I think). Can't get into the site at all at the moment - not just a quick glitch, it's been inaccessible for me for some hours. I was suspicious when I deleted the first article in March and couldn't find anything at Leadstart, but surely they would at least put the book up on their site? Lulu and all the other usual suspects do that much for the aspiring writer, and with CreateSpace you're on Amazon (of course). Lulu are quite good in that respect, in fact. Oh now, look what I've just found: http://www.hotfrog.in/Products/Self-Publishing Well, well. "As the India's fastest growing book publishers we help authors to publish their manuscripts quickly." And another - http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110107052911AAEZuXS Yahoo! Answers isn't a reliable source for answers, but it it a reliable source for questions? Peridon (talk) 15:12, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Not really- anyone can answer questions there, so many times questions can be outright wrong or used for promotional purposes. In this specific case though, this looks like the answerer really knows what they're talking about. Unfortunately I don't know if YA is really usable as a source or not. I've never really asked about it. You could certainly use it as fuel for the AfD, though.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:57, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

When I redirected this name after closing the AfD, I was surprised to find five incoming links from film articles referring to this guy who has evidently been a redlink up to now, though on the basis of these references is probably as notable as the pseudonymous author. I have turned him back into a redlink at Charles Brokaw (actor) to encourage somebody to write his article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:14, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the help with getting rid of all the Dunn content. It is rather annoying when people try to use Wikipedia as a mere promotional tool. (It's also kind of pathetic...I think my "favorite" edit of his was when he listed himself as a notable alum from his high school.)

Sure!

Hello Tokyo Girl,

Thank you for the info' given just now re- the discussion going on. After a stormy introduction to each other, I would like to believe that we may now be friends. How about you? Cheers, Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 17:30, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey, no problem - I absolutely have no problem with becoming friends here on Wikipedia! After all, I saw in your edit history that you've worked on the James Rollins articles and hey, anyone who is a fan of Rollins has got to have some pretty good taste! Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:42, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Well done! Seen the result on the Charles Brokaw redirect. It was what you wanted, wasn't it? Knew we had some things in common. I have read all the Sigma Force novels in chronological order and looking forward to the next. Devil Colony did not get published here till early 2012. Also read more than half of the "stand- alone" books, eespecially liked Amazonia and Ice Hunt. How about you? Best wishes, Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 23:13, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

I have to say that Amazonia is one of my favorites as well! There's just something about ruins in the middle of a jungle that's so exciting! I'm also a big fan of Scott Sigler (most of his books are free in their podcast formats), Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, and Andy McDermott. I'm pretty much of the persuasion that as long as a book contains historical mysteries and people shooting at each other, I'm probably going to like it. XD Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:34, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

I was glad to receive your list of authors the other day. Always good to have some recommendations. Here's one for you that I have just discovered. I am currently reading the 2010 novel, THE DEATH INSTINCT by JED RUBENFELD. Very good style, excellent English, gripping story. I shall certainly try to get hold of his first novel. He is an American lawyer/author and lives in New Haven, Connecticut. This is his second book. His first, called "The Interpretation of Murder" held the number 1 slot in the Sunday Times chart for seven weeks. They are published here in the UK by HEADLINE REVIEW, which is an Hatchette UK Company. Kind regards, -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 12:38, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

That's a little irritating, to be honest. I understand the idea behind it, but really... it's a waste of our time for them to continually do this. Unless they're going to be removing this stuff after the semester is over, this is pretty much the equivalent of vandalizing a page. Yeesh, they should just block the entire campus from editing if this is what they're going to do.

I just wanted to extend a warm and hearty thank you for saving The Dead Fathers Club. This was part of a school project done by a student in my class who did his very best but did not properly document on the talk page (as required by the assignment...) the fact that it was a part of the project. His sandbox, which has some good articles cited, is here. Again, thank you so much. I'm glad his new article landed in such good hands.

I agree. It's certainly not School Library Journal or anything. But I'm not using it as a source of news or review -- I was just using it to cite a statement on the author's part. If I've read things correctly, I don't think there's anything wrong with that unless the site carries a poor reputation. -- James26 (talk) 04:29, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello Tokyogirl79.

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tomie: Re-birth

My sense is that the nominator did not feel accepted reliable genre sources were unsuitable, and that his search for sourcing for this Japanese film was perhaps limited to English sources only. You were wise to point out that we likely have Japanese sources, and I have thus begun improvements to the stub he nominated. While like any film from a series, it deserves mention in the film series article, I belive that as a start class, it serves the project to allow it to remain as a separate article and be improved over time and through regular editing.

speedy deletion of Duotrope

As best I can tell, less than four hours went by between the time you nominated Duotrope for speedy deletion and the time you deleted it. That seems too speedy to me. I protested to one of the people on the list of people to protest to, but never heard back, so I'm contacting you directly.

Duotrope is a resource used by many writers. It is stable and has been around for a long time. Forty-four Wikipedia pages mention it. Your deletion has left a large number of red links. Here is an article about it: http://www.storysouth.com/comment/2006/08/duotropes_digest_an_interestin.html I respectfully request that you reconsider and restore the article.

Rick Norwood (talk) 12:39, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm actually not one of the people who can delete pages or restore them. I can nominate them for speedy deletion but that's about the extent of my abilities. As far as reasons to restore an article, you have to show notability per reliable sources, which I was unable to find. The source you provided is a blog entry, which cannot always be used as a reliable source. I notice that it does have a Wikipedia entry, but having an entry doesn't always guarantee that it's a usable source. There's a lot of sites on here that have entries that do not warrant them. Part of the issue I see with the article for storySouth is that it uses a lot of primary links to stories. Those stories might be notable in themselves, but that does not extend notability to storySouth and to be honest, should be avoided at all costs. (Primary links are only supposed to be used when the claims can be linked through reliable second-party sources, meaning that it should be largely unnecessary to link to them.) I'll have to go through and clean the article up and see if I can properly source it. In general blogs are not considered to be reliable sources unless they're by a notable person or someone who is considered to be such a complete authority that they're quoted repeatedly in scholarly journals, reliable sources, and/or books of the same type. As far as the redlinks and mentions go, being mentioned in other articles doesn't exactly bestow notability either. The notability of the subject of those articles (if there is notability) does not extend to Duotrope. (WP:NOTINHERITED) If the powers that be choose not to restore it, then all that means is that we remove the redlinks and if you so choose, work on a copy of the article in your userspace until you can show that the website has received enough coverage through reliable sources per Wikipedia to warrant re-adding. I must warn you, it must be a reliable source per WP:RS and it must be in-depth coverage. This means that you can't use blog entries, trivial mentions, press releases, or anything that would be considered WP:PRIMARY. If you have any questions over what might be considered a reliable source, feel free to ask myself or anyone on the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 13:44, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

I have no idea what kind of shape the two previous versions were that had those two versions deleted,[3][4] but the current version... though it started off as pretty crappy,[5] has gone through some improvements.[6] What was nominated as a 93-word unsourced stub, is now somwhat better than when I found it.

inre Smiley (2012 film)

I have myself performed some work on the article (as you might have noticed). And while a fair case could be made for a return to mainspace, it could result in an AFD and tussle between those who believe WP:NFF is a policy and those that understand that guideline does allow exceptions. I think if we wait a 4 to 6 weeks before returning it, the pre-release publcicity will give us more sources and thus allow a stronger case to be made for its return. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:17, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

In the AFD you said "This isn't a slur against the spirit world"... it's a good thing, too, because the spirit world has ways of getting back that we don't even want to think about!— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 13:29, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Re:Maquedasahag

Hello, sorry for the delay, I do not usually use my English user. As for your request, of course that helped. One suggestion: you can write me on my talk in Spanish so you can answer quickly, no matter what you do not know Spanish very well. After all, I do not know much English and I use Google. Greetings from Sahagun City.--Maquedasahag (talk) 03:21, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

DYK for Nick Stone Missions

On 12 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nick Stone Missions, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the plot of Crisis Four in the Nick Stone Missions book series, written before the September 11 attacks, involved a plan by Osama bin Laden to destroy the White House? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nick Stone Missions. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Cookie

back to you....

Addressed issues, fixed references, and feel it actually may be ready enough now for mainspace. When you referred the author to me (another well meaning newcomer caught in the Article Wizard trap), I took his article out of mainspace and placed back in his sandbox for work without the pressure of needing "immediate improvement else face deletion". Tone has been neutralized. Any "seeming" pov is directly atributed to sources. I found the topic itself has been covered in numerous books since 1964, and had made a spalsh of sorts back then. More, it was re-released 40 years later and meets several points of WP:NF#Other evidence of notability. AS you were the one who referred me, I now invite you to User:TheWriteGuy2/sandbox/Parable (film) for a re-evaluation. If you think it now has a better for survival chances, please move it to article space, alert the author, and ping me so I can correct the talk page and set the proper categories. Thanks, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 03:42, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Paige Clark

Hi, I saw that you put Paige Clark up for CSD. I don't know if you noticed, but it had been put up for CSD twice previously, and those had been removed. Anyhow, that's probably what will happen to yours as well, which is why I started the AFD. Feel free to put in your thoughts at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paige Clark.

Disambiguation link notification for August 19

Hi. When you recently edited One on One (novel), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Print (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
