Headsup: a discussion wrt the possibility of renaming

"Internet homicide" has commenced at Talk:Internet_homicide#Name. ↜Just me, here, now … 20:27, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're invited...

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, establish a membership process for the chapter, review the upcoming Wiki-Conference New York 2009 (planned for ~100 people at NYU this summer) and future projects like Wikipedia at the Library, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the March meeting's minutes).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our mailing list.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Argentina–Greece relations

Hi, you may wish to be aware that the original AFD, on which you commented specifically on this relationship, has been refactored and replaced by this one. Smile a While (talk) 23:20, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your support

Bearian, Gaia Octavia Agrippa has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing!

Re: Outliers (book)

I just don't think that we need to link to reviews, especially in the External links section. What criteria would we use to determine which reviews to include and which not to? Typically, I like to keep the External links section short, usually only including links to official websites. People can use Google for the other stuff.

Detroit Lions vandalism never ends

Detroit Lions and 2008 Detroit Lions season came off protection today and are still getting vandalised by high school IP's. Just permanantly protect them both please. I'm sick of this B.S. TomCat4680 (talk) 21:00, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well they already semi-protected it for 1 year thanks to the high school kid. The school's IP was blocked for 24 hours. TomCat4680 (talk) 02:48, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Admin Coaching

I read that you may be able to coach after May 18th? WEll, I have 1.5k edits, and think that the quality is good, but I would like coaching so that by the time i reach 3k edits I'll be wise in most things on Wikipedia.

Help a user out

A user has requested help from A Man in Black here, could you help him out perhaps? pablo_hablo. 19:12, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ThankSpam

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my "RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (Ceoil, Noroton and Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record.
I recognise that the process itself was unusual, and the format was generally considered questionable - and I accept that I was mistaken in my perception of how it would be received - but I am particularly grateful for those whose opposes and neutrals were based in perceptions of how I was not performing to the standards expected of an administrator. As much as the support I received, those comments are hopefully going to allow me to be a better contributor to the project. Thank you. Very much.

Whose duty is it?

Hi, Bearian, this is just to remind you that there are two pages to delete: Michele Trimarchi and Neuropsychophysiology. They are tagged four times each, but no one decides to remove them, just as it happened in it.wikipedia. Thereby the question: whose duty is it? Thank you for your reply. ---- RingYourbell —Preceding unsigned comment added by PernillaPthor (talk • contribs) 06:31, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andy Wisne (2nd nomination)

I have rewritten Andy Wisne in a neutral, encyclopedic fashion. You wrote that "If I'm wrong and he really is notable, then presumably someone other than himself will inevitably be inspired to write about him." Your comment inspired me to rewrite the article. I hope you can take a look at it and reevaluate your position at the AfD. Cunard (talk) 08:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey!

Hi Bearian, I saw on the admin coaching page that you are available for coaching after May 18th and I was just wondering if that was accurate and if you would take me on as a coachee. Thanks, OtisJimmyOne 14:34, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. OtisJimmyOne 17:49, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deborah Voigt

Hello, Bearian, I left a question for you at the talk. And would you add more information about her singing and voice? I feel exhausted about expanding the article, and I'm not good at writing artistic evaluations on singers. I hope the article finally pass the Dyk criteria within days.--Caspian blue 16:35, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the barnstar! I've enjoyed working on the article, and right now all I have to do is just to plump up the article with "400 ~~pounds~~ characters"! Caspian blue 18:58, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which succeeded with 56 in support, 12 in opposition and 3 neutral votes. I am truly honored by the trust that the community has placed in me. Whether you supported me, opposed me, or if you only posted questions or commented om my RfA, I thank you for your input and I will be looking at the reasons that people opposed me so I can improve in those areas :).

Naomi Elizabeth

Thanks for your suggestion regarding this article. 4 more references have been added. Since yesterday, the page was vandalized significantly by IP address 71.36.101.63. I suspect it's possible that this person will make further attempts to deface the page. If anything else needs to be done regarding the references, let me know. Thanks so much, Hhtttt (talk) 00:04, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Bearian (talk) 14:00, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again, I really appreciate your help. As of today: The subject of the article has requested that personal information such as genealogy be omitted, because of an outstanding court case regarding a violent stalker, internet impersonator, and copyright violator. There is a fear that public records will be used to locate and potentially harm her or her family. In the interest of physical safety, all other names, aliases, and birth dates besides "Naomi Elizabeth" should be removed until after the trial. Hopefully this is possible.

NY-SCAN listed as a Stub

I have noticed your recent edits to NY-SCAN. You have added the {{stub}} template. This is fine and your contributions are appreciated.

Re: Botsina

Berian, I looked at those two. I could only access three of the four (of those three, one of those was an abstract that didn't mention the word while the other two were passing mentions). Nothing else came up on GScholar that wasn't last name-linked (i.e. Botsina was someone's name). Ergo, this is at AfD.Tyrenon (talk) 01:43, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ireland–Serbia relations

I am a bit confused at your comment here, were you serious about saying a 1 one off friendly match somehow helps establish notability? the whole reason I listed it in my nomination was to demonstrate the kind of coverage that arises from a google news search. of course, if you can prove to me that Ireland and Serbia (which only became a separate state in 2006) actually have a well documented soccer rivalry...I will stand corrected.

Re: Pigah

Hi Bearian! Thank you for putting so much effort into rescuing this article. I am still concerned that there is no indication to what modern river or Wadi it might correspond to, but am satisfied that it is not a hoax. Again thank you for improving Wikipedia! —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 19:22, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good job fixing the Pigah article. You might be interested to know that Kidomiyon was PRODed at the same time. The PROD was removed by another user, but that article could also use a similar fixing as Pigah got. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:36, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For the kind words on my talk page. I think that the middle ground must be sought.

You marked the page People and culture of Illinois with a 'rescue' tag but did not remove the PROD. If you disagree with a prod, you may remove the dated tag, and deletion can then move to AfD.
