Vandalism

Your latest edits amount to vandalism please stop immediately.

Thank you for letting me try to help millons not get sick. I am an RIT science graduate of mechanical engineering, practicing HVAC thermal controls engineer for the NYS offices. At least give me a chance to find an expert to addendum the article with some further information about how enviromental control affects illness suceptability. Within the article there is no mention of thermal biological fluidmechanics and the adverse affects of ecomonmy space enviromental control the cold weather season. Cold weather indirectly affects the propigation of viral strains, and cold weather does affect illness rates as compared to summer. It's just common sense, we can feel cold when the air has low enthalpy and our surroudnigns are stealing our heat through radiation heat transfer, cold and dry makes the lymph slow. When we slow transport the viruses do their bussiness uninterupted in one spot. Who would ever want to admit that keeping warm and hydrated would raise immunity, it would cost facility owners a fortune. Sorry HVAC controls and common sense doesn't make sense to you. I can rewrite it if you wish sire.

This is the only warning we give you today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikebinger (talk • contribs) 11:03, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi

I don't know why you accuse you me of being jontyjoseph i am frankly outraged by this as I have only been part of urban community for a few months.

Please re-tract your accusations as you have no proof its wrong to accuse just because we agree with each other and we disagree with your view

Speedy deletion declined: Nathan J Lester

Hello Pontificalibus, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Nathan J Lester - a page you tagged - because: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Coffee // have a cup // ark // 11:43, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I am familiar with the critera but I didn't believe the assertion of importance or significance was credible in this instance. A list of years for unspecified awards is not sufficient information to be credible. --Pontificalibus (talk) 12:03, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Since you're familiar with the criteria you should know that if notability is asserted, it isn't worthy of speedy deletion. The deletion process for articles that assert notability is PROD (as I see you have done) or AFD. Please take another look at the CSD criteria, thanks! --Coffee // have a cup // ark // 12:06, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I believed an article needed to make "any credible claim of significance or importance". I don't think there was such a claim here. If there was could you point it out to me? Sorry if I come across as accusatory, but I genuinely can't see what the credible claim is here! --Pontificalibus (talk) 12:09, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Sure! Where it says "won numerous awards for his work", this statement is enough "assertion" to make you have to take the article deletion process to the next step, ie PROD. --Coffee // have a cup // ark // 12:13, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Out of interest what counts as "credible". I note A7 "does apply if the claim of significance or importance given is not credible". Are there guidelines as to what is credible or not? --Pontificalibus (talk) 12:22, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Altered Speedy Deletion rationale: Kellyville-Rouse Hill Bushrangers

Hello Pontificalibus, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have deleted a page you tagged (Kellyville-Rouse Hill Bushrangers) under a criterion different from the one your provided, which was inappropriate or incorrect. CSD criteria are narrow and specific to protect the encyclopedia, and the process is more effective if the correct deletion rationale is supplied. Consider reviewing the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Thanks again! Coffee // have a cup // ark // 11:52, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry but this article was a clear case of db-club, it may have been G11 also, but often articles can fall under more than one category. However the critera I chose was not incorrect. --Pontificalibus (talk) 12:01, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Daniel Mamora

Hi. I must disagree with your removal of the speedy tag from Daniel Mamora. The article (created by a user with the same name as the subject) states that the subject is a student at a K-12 school who has been a substitute announcer on The Price is Right and is a host at a major-market radio station. That alone defies logic. A little bit of investigation produces no evidence whatever that the latter two claims are true. Wikipedia's been punked. JTRH (talk) 15:53, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

You had tagged the article as a blatant hoax. This applies only when no investigation is necessary (e.g. Daniel is head of the United Nations and King of England.) When I read it this was not the case - if I'd known what Loma Linda Academy was or what K-12 meant I might have thought differently I suppose. However I have now tagged it appropriately under critera A7, as there is no credible assertion of importance or significance. --Pontificalibus (talk) 16:13, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Haitians in Miami

Hundreds gathered Wednesday night for a prayer service at Notre Dame d'Haiti Catholic Church in Miami. At the beginning of a Creole song of mourning, attendees were restrained. But emotions gradually erupted and by the end of the hymn people were wailing, some of them kneeling in tears with their hands in the air, or even rolling on the floor.

Father Reginald Jean-Mary reminded them that Haiti has historically suffered misfortune followed by worldwide apathy. But he said Haitians are the children of God as much as anyone, and they deserve common fairness.

"Worry bordering on despair" was paraphrased, and I think rather conservatively. Everyone is waiting for news. Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood is significantly affected by this. Do you have a way to express this other than the wording I added to the 2010 Haiti earthquake article? --Moni3 (talk) 13:46, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

It is obvious that many people waiting for news will be worried, we don't need to tell people in the article. See Wikipedia:Words_to_avoid#Avoid_editorial_opinion. Also, the quote you give above is a group of people at a prayer service, not "Miami's Haitian population of 110,000" described in the article. I expect those 110,000 will be feeling a lot of different things, including happiness and indifference depending on what news they have. --Pontificalibus (talk) 13:55, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

The focus of the article is a neighborhood with significant ties to the disaster. What you expect is not relevant. It is what is represented in the source. So, again, how would you--and read the source, please--convey the ideas in this article in one phrase? Work with me here. I'm saying that Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood is waiting for news is insufficient. While people waiting for news express worry I admit may seem obvious, there are 110,000 Haitians in Miami, and the source represents many of them as quite emotional. How would you represent this idea? I'm watching your page, so a talkback template is unnecessary. --Moni3 (talk) 14:08, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I have been thinking about this but I just can't imagine any adjectives that could be added here so as to enhance the article.--Pontificalibus (talk) 14:21, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Another source. And another. The Miami Herald does not have these stories, I suppose, because they do not have specific stories about the Little Haiti neighborhood. They are, however, printing in Creole, which I have never seen before. --Moni3 (talk) 14:27, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't doubt the sources, I'm just concerned that our reporting of them must not make the article seem sensationalist or otherwise less encyclopedic. I don't think adding extra adjectives here will provide more information beyond what would already be evident to any reader of the article. --Pontificalibus (talk) 14:55, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I suppose we are diverging on what we consider accurate vs. sensationalist and what constitutes encyclopedic writing. I do not consider it sensationalist to summarize the sources to say that Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood is deeply affected by the earthquake worsened by the disruption in communications. I do not consider them extra adjectives either. Encyclopedic writing does not mean representing issues without any emotion at all, especially if sources specifically express the intensity of such emotion. Humans are clearly affected by this event; writing for an encyclopedia allows us to represent how they feel about it. Do you have suggestions about how to convey what these sources have written? --Moni3 (talk) 15:04, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Well I made this change. I do think we disagree somewhat as I found the main point from those 2 articles you have there is that many are "waiting in limbo" for news, which I think was originally conveyed quite adequately. --Pontificalibus (talk) 15:12, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I think there is room to expand this when much more information comes out about the connections of friends and families between Miami and Haiti. I'll compromise on "anxiously" and welcome your assistance to expand this when more developments come to light. Thank you for working with me. --Moni3 (talk) 15:21, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, although it might be better in Response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake where there would be more room for writing about this, and keeping the section in the main article as more of a summary of that. --Pontificalibus (talk) 16:36, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Venezuelan accusation

Hi, what part of the talk page of 2010 Haiti earthquake exactly should I look? I looked at the one with the HAARP conspiracy theory. One thing is that the section I added to the article wasn't promoting or providing information about the (highly questionable link) between HAARP and the earthquake but instead about the accusation of the Venezuelan government (the note was published by its main news organ) to the United States of America. While the content of the accusation (IMO is) can be nonsense, the fact that a government is making echo of such a thing is an important (political) event [linked to the earthquake]. It is like the Bush administration claiming the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Whether or not it is true is questionable, but it is important news that a government is making such a claim. Thats why the section I added to the article wasn't approving or disapproving the content of the accusation information but just stating it as something claimed by a government about another government in relation to this earthquake. Please, give me some feedback in the talk page of that article. Thanks. franklin 00:32, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

The article is about the earthquake. This is clearly a fringe theory. Yes it comes from a national government but has no bearing on the situation we are trying to cover in the article (unlike the weapons of mass destruction claim which was a notable aspect of the invasion of Iraq). Perhaps you might consider saying something in United States – Venezuela relations? --Pontificalibus (talk) 08:53, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Howdy,

I'm sorry, but before doing this and accusing me of copyright violations, did you even bother to check the [linked source] of the text? At archive.org the whole 1922 issue of The Entomologist seems to be handled as "NOT_IN_COPYRIGHT" (probably due to age, pre 1923 and all that?). Even with that I tried finding info on the author (W.J. Lucas, entomologist) but could find nothing definite (only one hint that he may have died in 1922 too, but not clear enough it was the same person). So, I've assumed proper reasoning/research by archive.org. If you have proper reason to believe that the copyright status on archive.org is incorrect, please let me know. If not, please be so kind to redo your undo. Cheers, 82.75.10.66 (talk) 03:27, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

In answer to your comments. Yes. The information is relevent. Reason - This is phase two of the Greater gabbard project. Phase 1 came from China and Phase two from Denmark which we designed. Thus, the information is totally relevent. WE are fully involved with the shipwoners, BBC, Fluor, Siemens, and all players. Thus I think all parties involved would not object to the information. Also they would also agree that they would also see the information as an enhancement to the success of their project as it shows innovation and achievement to the project. So I say again, YES, it is relevent. YES - others would add this information. YES - it is factual. YES - it is welcomes by all parties involved. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MBMConsultancy (talk • contribs) 09:37, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

"a cradle to transport the lower towers for the wind farm in the vertical position. The design was completed and installed on the hatchcover of a sea going vessel" might be suitable for an article about windfarm construction equipment, but it's not useful in this article. Regardless of that, you have a clear conflict of interest in adding this information in contravention of our promotion policies.--Pontificalibus (talk) 09:45, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

I saw the point for the first submission. But for the second submission it followed the same outline as the following paragraph. Thus, there is no conflict of interest is all about the greater gabbard project. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MBMConsultancy (talk • contribs) 10:02, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Also, what do u think this project is all about? It is totally about "Wind Generators" about how the project was undertaken and achieved. About who did what, when and how. This is how the wind turbine towers where transported. Wikipedia requires information, factual information. Well, teh facts about this project is that MBM Consultancy did the design for this project. MBM Consultancy innovated the design to tranpsort the towers and we did it in August 2009 from Denmark to Harwich. We were the first company in the world to do it. If Wikipedia does not want the facts on its site, I am sure there will be others that will. There are many other facts regarding this project that we are involved with, during the start of teh spring phase in 2010 and those facts will not be published here if we are not allowed. Also, there are other projects i.e. BP whiting, and others that we are involved with, and have facts about.

Does the Tesco article mention details about the MAN lorries that transport food to it's shops? As you clearly have a conflict of interest, perhaps you should propose your additions on the article's talk page, and see what support they have from from other editors? Note that facts need to be supported by reliable third-party sources. --Pontificalibus (talk) 10:17, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

OK - Where do I present the additions, i.e. where is the articles talk page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MBMConsultancy (talk • contribs) 10:34, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

You can find that here.--Pontificalibus (talk) 10:35, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Just a second too early

If you had waited for another minute, I would have had the source for the tsunami arrival times at 2010 Chile earthquake in place. But you were just ahead of me. ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreas Willow (talk • contribs) 18:50, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Anal cleansing

I've been debating whether to nominate it for AfD myself. I just asked another admin that I respect for his opinion. If you take it to AfD, I'll definately support it. Niteshift36 (talk) 01:18, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Sorry

AWB must have scrapped it and I did not notice. C6541 (T↔C) 09:45, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Camelford

Hi Pontificalibus, not sure what happened with the Camelford lead! I seem to have only partially ammended it to bring it in line with other WP:Cornwall places-in-Cornwall articles. Thanks for fixing it. Andy F (talk) 20:10, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Election protection

22:37, 5 April 2010 Shimgray (talk | contribs | block) changed protection level of United Kingdom general election, 2010 [edit=autoconfirmed] (expires 21:37, 6 April 2010 (UTC)) [move=sysop] (expires 20:39, 9 June 2010 (UTC)) ‎ (calm down the reverting until it's formally announced...)

It's a little confusing to read the log, certainly! I protected it from editing for 24 hours, which'll elapse sometime this evening, but it was already protected from moving due to the edit-warring over the title last year. It's this second protection that elapses in June - the two types can have different expiry dates.

Given both reasons for protection are now a bit passé, I've lifted both... Shimgray | talk | 10:29, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Cardiff

Hi Pontificalibus, saw your revert at the Cardiff article here and I'm not convinced it was vandalism. It looks like the IP was just trying to add some local info. May be a case of WP:ADVERT though. Would you mind taking another look, please, and consider WP:BITE. Thanks, Daicaregos (talk) 15:21, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

(Moved from Daicaregos' Talk page) The IP is from Concept Publishing Ltd and they have added blatant WP:COI/spam stuff to three UK place articles. They have been warned three times with clear explanations on their talk page and now seem to have desisted. I don't really see any reason to undo my revert and neither do I think WP:BITE applies to my actions in this instance. --Pontificalibus (talk) 21:50, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you from your reply. Fair enough. Although, I didn't ask you to undo your revert, just to reconsider. To prevent misunderstanding, it may be better to label any future reverts as WP:COI or WP:SPAM, rather than vandalism. Cheers, Daicaregos (talk) 06:17, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Dramatic Performances Act

I saw you just put a copy-paste tag on it. I was about to do the same. It has a lot of hallmarks of copy-pasting, including extended ascii characters (like positional quote marks) and bad character-return formatting. The kind of thing you expect when something's copied in. However I've google searched lots of segments of it and haven't found anything yet. If you come up with anything let me know. I've already left a note on the creator's page regarding the multiple article creation. You might want to attempt something similar asking about this. Shadowjams (talk) 16:37, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes I couldn't find anything either. Going by the style of English, I suppose it could be the author's personal essay, like something they did for college? I will ask them about it. --Pontificalibus (talk) 16:41, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

The first sentence, at least, comes from http://www.india<to get around spam blacklist>netzone.com/29/dramatic_performances_act_dpa.htm (on the spam blacklist apparently). Not sure about the rest, might be scattered about. • ɔ ʃ → 15:58, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Greyson Michael Chance. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greyson Michael Chance. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:07, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Pontificalibus. Thanks very much for your note and explanation re the spammers, anonymous IPs. Not sure if I am to message you here or on my page. I'll err on the side of caution and do both! Please excuse the dupe. Some of the ways here are still unknown to me. thanks again RodeoDriver (talk) 21:50, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk To Frank

Hi there,

Why is talktofrank.com not a reliable source?

The page is the face of government anti-drugs campaign and is therefore likely to include scientifically proven examples and other substantiated information.

Many thanks, Dvmedis (talk) 21:43, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

You state yourself that it's an anti-drugs campaigning website, and the material on there is likely to be chosen specifically with that POV in mind. If there are "scientifically proven examples" then we should reference those scientific journals or similar publications that orginally published the research.

Specifically, their claim that "It is likely that substances sold as naphyrone or “NRG-1” actually contain one or more illegal Class B cathinone derivatives." appears to be pure conjecture. One can however say for certain that the perpetuation of such conjecture as fact would support the known agenda of the site. --Pontificalibus (talk) 14:55, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Chinese subs

Since when is a Submarine made of "manure and grass" not a hoax? (not arguing with your redirection of the article, but suggesting perhaps that the article may not have been fully read before you made your decision).

Yeah didn't see that bit, was focusing on the pinyin to see if it was real or not. Anyway at least I remember to sign my comments! --Pontificalibus (talk) 19:48, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I undid the recent edit you made to this page. Check out User:Georgemn1991's contributions... all related to linking that site around. Them From Space 10:03, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough, I was just trying to help Georgemn1991 on the technical side of things, assuming good faith. --Pontificalibus (talk) 10:15, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
