I-35E and I-35W

Thanks for splitting these. Now we have a separate article for every current Interstate. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 07:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Glad to help out! Besides, I drove 35W enough when I lived in Waco—it was the best route to DFW Airport—that I had to help out on that road. C.Fred 15:33, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Endurance

Hey there

I was just gonna ask either Maden himself or Chris the winner from Season 3 since they both have blogs on myspace.com but found out that Vanetta was removed due to injury. I better put that in. Tom ended up being the first person to go to temple by himself.

Hope this helps y'all.

Capital Beltway Sign

This is now reflected by an update to the sign, but sorry I screwed that up in trying to fix it. I'm slowly learning this editing process. But yes, I believe the license would be "Copyrighted, free to use for any purpose" unless you see otherwise fit.

Capbw_2.gif: "This image was created by Bruce at www.pghbridges.com (http://pghbridges.com/hsotw/), and has allowed this image to be uploaded and displayed on Wikipedia. This is the Capital Beltway shield displayed under (most) I-495/I-95 shields along the Capital Beltway."

Yep, here is the exact email from him himself.

Hello, I was just asking if it would be okay with you if I put the Capital Beltway sign you made onto Wikipedia (for inclusion to the Capital Beltway article) and of course credit you or your site with it. Thanks,

I use Kate's tool to get the number of edits I've made. Then when I reach a milestone I go to Special:Contributions and figure out which edit the milestone was. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:21, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Can we get some consensus in Talk:Interstate 95? I know I'm still fairly new here, but SPUI and I need some help. Thanks. MPD01605 22:26, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I-95 exit list

Have you even looked at the articles like Interstate 95 in New York? --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 23:07, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I linked directly to one of them on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I-95 exit list. What more do you need? --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 23:12, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

In which browser did the TOC and length table overlap? It works fine for me in K-Meleon and IE. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 23:34, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's meant to have totals, but I'd like to verify several states against their data, as well as get a more precise figure for Maine, before adding totals. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 03:19, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Uggh- either report to WP:AN/I (where we have a SPUI section) or WP:RPP. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:40, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Reason why blocking him would be better- he's been subject to a ArbCom ruling and probation (see the WP:AN/I) and if we protect the page we can't edit it? (Well I can since I'm an admin, but still... )--Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism

Thanks for your vandal revert... just so you know it's good to put {{test1}} on their user talk page to warn them. If there is one, then there's {{test2}}. They do it enough, they get blocked. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:18, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I commend you as well for your vandalism fighting efforts. --69.232.218.27 05:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Question

I'm sure if I searched long and hard enough, that I could find the answer. But where would one go in order to lodge a complaint against another user? I'm sure I don't need to mention that it's SPUI who clearly doesn't obey any rules, regulations, or even care what anyone else says. That's what I feel is the problem, that there's no real hierarchy stated anywhere, like finding admins related to the article in question (in this case, I-95 exit list which I worked hard on and created almost all the state shields). If you could just point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. --MPD01605 22:58, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Please see WP:AN/I, we have a) a section on SPUI's behaviors there, b) a section regarding the blocking of two of the valued roads contributors, and c) a section on his mass CA page moves. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:21, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Wow. On your edit counter, it says that your average edit per page is 3.14 (pi). Did you intentionally plan this or is it just a coincidence? Freddie 03:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

NC routes

Anytime. I'm making shields on a need-to-make basis. I've also started three articles, if you'd like to check them out: NC 100, NC 86, and VA 86. I also created those stub templates, I just have some issues with them and the pictures, so that's why they're on top and not the bottom. If you need any shields, let me know. They'll be .PNG files until I take time to learn how to make .SVG's. Perhaps we should start a North Carolina and Virginia State Highway WikiProject? But yes, thank you. --MPD01605 22:46, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Ball live on the PAT in High School?

I don't know if Texas and/or Louisiana allow this, but I know that Alabama does.

I know that when I was in High School (in Alabama), in the mid-late 90's it was allowed, the rule may have changed since. The AHSAA doesn't have the Rules Book online.

Deletion

I think I might leave it there just in case the author wants to make a case for its undeletion.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 06:23, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Discuss or send message as to why article was nominated for deletion when I have valid scientific, cultural, points. I don't see a need to use an encyclopedia. Some of my sources may contain references to many sources which is why I use them. [1] There are some other sources that I haven't gathered yet, I don't believe my article should be up for deletion. Someone on the Anklet page before I managed to edit it, wrote that the clining sound of anklets attracts attention. Thanks for replying though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anyuse200 (talk • contribs) .

IKR1

I've been unable to explain to IKR1 (talk) why his article creations are inappropriate. I've pointed him to WP:N several times but he either does not understand this, has not read it, or does not think it applies to him. He's created a number of non-notable articles, one of which has failed AfD, one which was speedily deleted, another which is going to, and several which have been PROD'ed. But he keeps creating new articles. Could you have a shot? I'm not getting anywhere with this user. I suspect he's just stopped listening to me. --Yamla 22:40, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Of course, if IKR's films are notable, he should definitely be allowed to keep them. Well, at least, someone other than IKR should be allowed to write articles about them. Heck, I'd even be happy for IKR to write an article on them. I fear, though, that his current films are more likely to receive a cease-and-desist letter from the copyright holders than for him to achieve widespread fame. That's not a legal threat, mind you. He at least has a case for parody. And I really do wish him fame and fortune in the future. I've seen M. Night Shamalan's (excuse the spelling) early stuff and it was no better.  :) --Yamla 03:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

FSU Scholars Program

Hello Cfred!

You removed my prod from FSU Young Scholars Program. Another editor suggested in his edit summary that this program may not be notable and I couldn't find any policy on this so I started a discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy). I'd appreciate your insight. --JChap 03:26, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Second prod for BM titles

How did you know there had been a previous prod for Brokeback Mountain titles? Just checking the edit history, or is there an easier way? I didn't think to check if there had been a previous one when I did it earlier. eaolson 17:05, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I was just hoping there was a less tedious way. eaolson 17:30, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Second prod - Enaction, dicdef and a new user

C. Fred, I noticed you put a second prod tag on the article Enaction, written by Sankazim, a brand new editor. (I track the new users I welcome for a few days afterwards). The original tag's message: "This is a dicdef article that attempts to define a concept and fails" may be puzzling to a new user, especially the "dicdef" part. Also, while I think the article is both roughly written and a little jargony, it does go beyond being just a dictionary entry since it also describes research on enaction. New contributors sometimes need coaching; also they can get discouraged if they see their stuff shot down for what they think of as obscure reasons. You and/or Erik the Rude might consider coaching Sankazim a little on the talk page as to what you're looking for. I think it's better to improve articles with potentially useful content than it is to just delete it.

Regards, --A. B. 03:36, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Mario Milano prod

On your prod2 on Mario Milano, you questioned him retiring at 17. Actually, 17 is when he made his debut. It's tough to tell by looking at the article, but if you go into the edit page, you can see the way the editor intended it to look with the 17 being more clear. Don't worry though, I thought the same thing as you did when I tagged it as {{db-bio}} until I noticed the debut thing when I went to edit in the tag. Metros232 14:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Aurish Language

Hi. I see you added a {{prod2a}} tag to the Aurish Language article. The author has "improved" it and reflected your concern that there was no stated population of speakers by adding a statement that the number of speakers is "unknown, though expected to be extremely few" and removed the prod tag. As such I think it's still NN and probably just a vanity article of dubious, if any, encyclopædic value, so I've taken it to AfD, If you'd like to add to discussion there. Regards Tonywalton  | Talk 10:25, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

External links on Interstate pages

Look, I'm not trying to "advertise" anything. I maintain pages about the Interstate system that are relevant to the respective Wikipedia articles, and as such, I feel there's no valid reason they shouldn't be included in external links sections. If my material wasn't relevant to the article, I wouldn't link to it -- simple as that.

I really ought not have to fight to have relevant, valid external material linked to from here. Honestly, if you have a problem with my material being added, you ought to have the same problem with most of the external links on Interstate pages -- and if you don't, that sort of indicates you're picking on me. --Larrysphatpage 07:29, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Christopher whatever his name is

Of course it's a hoax. I find that an administrator usually notices these things on AFD and deletes them within a day of the AFD launch. It shouldn't be too long and should be deleted before the PROD thing would've gotten it deleted. Mad Jack 00:04, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Your near-vandalism on Diane Kunz

You can disagree with me as to whether a non-admin close of the AFD is justified. You can't just wipe my comments off the Afd and restore the vandalized text of the article. That's close to vandalism, and probably crossed the line. Why don't you just withdraw the AfD, since your comments were based on the vandalized form? There's zero doubt she's WP-BIO-notable as a published author and a news subject. VivianDarkbloom 20:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• It is one thing to disagree about how to handle an unusual situation. It is quite another to repeatedly remove comments and opinions with which you disagree from an AfD discussion. To make false statements -- like the ones you made about the contents of the Amazon pages -- in those discussions. To delete references to links, sites, and searches which prove the falseness of your statements. I do not know why you are so determined to delete an article on a well-known woman whose work is highly regarded. VivianDarkbloom 22:48, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Diane Kunz and its AfD process

Thank you for coming to me. Actually, it is my area, and I would have no problem helping. However, it seems as if the situation had already been resloved, and the article has been deleted — thanks to User:Zscout370 (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Diane Kunz). I am going to protect the page, and ensure that it is not recreated without a valid reason. I'm also planning to have a word with VivianDarkbloom.

Books at Amazon

How many percent of published books do you think are available at AmazonDoctor Bruno 13:18, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Why there is no reply for this ???

I asked this question to make you realise that there are a lot of books that are not marketed by Amazon and just because a book is not in Amazon, you cannot tell that it is not notable

In my opinion, we have no right to delete articles regarding which we do not know anything

For example if there is an article about a French poet, just because I do not know him, can I delete the article. Such behaviour will result in Wikipedia becoming the encyclopedia for a group of guys rather than a global encyclopediaDoctor Bruno 05:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

This doctor could care less about nutrition. He has deleted the partial diet article on the gastric bypass surgery page. O yea this is what ya'll wanted this redirected too.

If you read the talk page on Gastric bypass diet his nutrition advice goes against everything published, so it really isn't good to trust a doctor without research. Now there is none on Wikipedia.....Cfred so if the article gets voted to redirect were is it going to be redirected too??

I know he was the culprit all along as he is upset I proved he was incorrect on his nutrition so he did what he did. Now there is nothing but a surgery page I feel this is wrong.

The I-74 exit list is fine. But, I found a list to potential exits throughout the state on Duke Univ's site here. Do you think, with a major speculation notice, that we could add those potential exits to the list? Also, it would connect the two existing parts of the interstate. I want to, but I just wanted to see what your opinion would be. --MPD01605 (T / C) 17:10, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok, if I find the time, I'll format the list from Duke onto the talk page. Never know when it might come in handy. It's on the back burner right now; I'd like to start the I-77 and I-85 in NC articles and get them going first. Also, User:NE2 thwarted my last attempt at exit list formatting like you and I did on the I-40 NC exit list, and as you just did on the I-66 list. So keep an eye on those. See the Interstate 77 in Virginia history and its talk page for all that. He's moving into the NC articles now, so we will see a lot of changes that we may or may not like. That's one of the reasons I left the Virginia articles. I could get into other gripes, but I'd prefer not to do it here. Although I would like your opinion on Talk:North Carolina Highway System down at the bottom. But alright man, thanks for your help and opinions. --MPD01605 (T / C) 05:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Restoration Hardware

Hi.. Just wanted to let you know, that in retail, Mid-October equates to the holiday/christmas season, and all the toys/gadgets/stocking stuffers are in full swing. On a daily non-holiday basis, there are limited number of toys/gadgets.. aka: toys are non existent. Even now, the toys are in a special "GIFT" section, not in a regular "accessories" or "utilities" section. Gadgets however are more present now, and during off-season, are limited to one screwdriver, one or two flashlights and a few pocket reference tools. During the holiday season, the tool selection expands to include almost one hundred (or even more) tools and varieities of the same tools in different forms, packaging, and depending on the use. Toys are obviously present for the holiday season, but of course, disappear after December 24th. The 'toys and gadgets section' that you're referring to.. is not a regular section. Note that it has it's own banner with "Shop Our New Gift Catalog" on it. Check the website in January, and the banner will disappear, as will the "Gift" navigation button on the top between "Sale" and "Accessories". I've been with the company for about three years now, and I'm pretty sure the information I'm trying to provide to the public is nothing top-secret-confidential, nor inappropriate or inaccurate. I've seen the company change it's image and the frustration that many of my customers have when I have to turn them away and tell them, "No, we don't carry that anymore, only during the holidays." when referenced to toys, tools, and gadgets. But I see what you're trying to do about keeping the wikifile on it current with the website. Neyugnj 03:56, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion BJCP page

I put a PD tag on this page 22 Nov., you came by and added request for sources, plus noted that I should have put the tag on the article. I am a little new to this (obvious? ;-)) and found this morning that the page is not listed in the logs for proposed deletion (for 22 Nov.) and that the tag has been removed from the page. Furthermore, I can't see when or who removed it.

Perhaps I am confused about the process, but what happened to the proposed deletion on 22 Nov? (BTW, I've put the tag back on this morning). If you have any suggestions on what I have done wrong or what more I should have done or anything else related to this, I would appreciate it. I have, of course, read the help pages and thought this was done correctly, but I will be happy to fix it if that is not the case.

IAC, many thanks for your help. Mikebe 08:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I read your note and thanks for the explanation. My reason for the NPOV violation is that the article is very one-sided in a positive way. A non-positive edit was made on 24 August, for example, and removed on 1 Sept.

But, thanks for your explanation -- it helps me understand better how things work around here. Thanks! Mikebe 16:56, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

There is another page that I am trying to have deleted and I would appreciate very much your comments/thoughts on the following: a restaurant (brewpub) lists three references. The three are: a listing (not review) in a local magazine, a fairly negative restaurant review in a major newspaper 11 years ago and a recent mediocre restaurant review in a local newspaper. Do you think this meets the requirements of WG:COMPANY? I ask this because the requirement is "non-trivial" and since virtually all restaurants are reviewed, it seems trivial. Thanks. Mikebe 18:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply Cfred. I was really wondering about the specific point of whether restaurant reviews qualify as "non-trivial published works" and whether a negative review, for example, would have the same weight as a positive review? I have given up on the deletion request, btw. Mikebe 07:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

The BJCP article in now in AFD. As you had agreed that it violates WG:ORG, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop by there and add your vote for deletion. Thanks for your help. Mikebe 13:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Extraversion

Under what criteria do you determine extraversion to be the most common spelling? Merriam-Webster lists it as the variation to extroversion. —C.Fred (talk) 05:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

The vast majority of psychologists call the trait extraversion not extrOversion. "Extra" is the original term coined by Jung and used by Eysenck and most other personality theorists. "Extra" is a more appropriate prefix because it denotes "outside the scope of something," as in extraordinary, extravagant, extraterrestrial, or extra credit. Similarly, extraverts go outside of themselves for social interaction and stimulation, as opposed to introverts who stay within themselves and "introspect." If that isn't convincing, take a look at the following hit counts on Google:

453,000 for extroversion

1,140,000 for extrAversion

8,100 for extroversion (Google Scholar)

35,800 for extrAversion (Google Scholar)

ExtrOversion is in the dictionary because people started mispronouncing the word and sort of morphed it with "introversion." Anyway, I wouldn't put a lot of stock in Webster's as an authority. Mine has an entry for ain't which is the classic example of incorrect usage of the English language.

I think we should delete Introversion and extroversion because it seems unlikely that anyone will search that specific phrase, and we already have blank pages for introverson and extraversion that redirect to the new entry.

By the way, I reversed the order from I-E to E-I because that is consistent with Eysenck's original terminology. Jcbutler 06:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Highway shields

There's an issue going on with some of these, and I think it needs to be cleared up, but I need some clarification on it. If a shield (logo) for something like the Pennsylvania Turnpike is re-created by a user, is it copyrighted or public domain (should the creator choose to release it as PD)? The Ohio Turnpike shield is released into the Public Domain, whereas the Pennsylvania Turnpike logo is listed as copyrighted even though it was created by the user. The Massachusetts Turnpike, New Jersey Turnpike and New York Thruway logos/shields are both non-svgs and I question where the NJTpk logo came from, but should those be remade by me or another editor, are they PD as well? I would imagine they'd follow the same rules of Interstate Highway shields. --MPD (T / C) 21:26, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Liferay

This is in response to the post you made on my talk page.

If you wanted independent sources, could you in the future just ask rather than just blatantly deleting the content? I guess that is the policy... so, that's the policy.

Ok, for some independent resources:

• eWeek labs studied Liferay as an open source alternative to the many commerical products out there.
• Infoworld did a write up comparing Liferay Portal against its competitor Jboss portal. It also describes many of its features, strengths and weaknesses.
• www.regdeveloper.co.uk has an article describing the product as an open source alternative to the commercial product Plum Tree.
• Linux.com comments on how Goodwill industries is using Liferay as does Techtarget.com.
• A blogger comments on why he chose Liferay over its competitor uPortal. Again, he lists many of the features, strengths and weaknesses.
• Several bloggers [3][4] have commented on what's new in the latest version of the portal (4.2).

How's that for a start? Caorongjin 04:59, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I am going to start a write up. But, according to your comments, you would not include the fourth set of links that includes Goodwill Industries (or, for that matter, other portals built on Liferay)? Caorongjin 06:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Per your suggestion, I have drafted up a new article under [User:Caorongjin/Liferay]. How do I get this reviewed to be submitted into the [Liferay] location? Caorongjin

I've made all the footnoting and other updates. BTW, I have to say, I really like the way Mediawiki handles citations! Caorongjin 03:11, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Just curious if you had a chance to look over that Liferay article for me? If so, could it be published?Caorongjin 02:50, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I see that nobody has really commented on the Liferay discussion section. Does this mean that my article will never be submitted? Or do I simply wait... indefinitely? I am not sure what needs to be done in this matter. Caorongjin 00:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Not to be annoying or anything.. but any updates?

Hey Cfred, do you have any updates on the Liferay article? I have done the things you have asked and noticed the lock has been lifted from the article, but does that mean I can enter the article that I had written? What should I do for this? How long should I wait? Caorongjin 07:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

American Football Rules

Thank you for your contribution.

I have had to reverse some of the changes you have made. I have copies of the NFL and NCAA rulebooks in front of me. College does have a two-minute warning if the game clock is not visible.

Steve Irwin death image

I never said I had ownership. GDFL means that it's a fair use image, right? I never said I made it or anything. I live in Los Angeles, there's no way I could've been underwater with a celebrity in Australia when he died. First of all, it's not copyrighted. The guy who photographed it never took out a copyright on it (and even if he did, Australia's patent system sucks -- some guy over there patented the wheel if I remember correctly), and wouldn't have been able to anyway because the video is in police custody. Floaterfluss ^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:16, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

As far as copyright goes, it's automatic unless you release it. That's what GFDL is—well, actually, you aren't releasing copyright, you're just licensing it under a more-or-less limitless license. The fact that it is in police custody doesn't change the copyright status. Now, had the police taken the image, then it's a different matter. Depending on who took the image, it could be public domain (US government images are, effectively; they can't be copyrighted), or it could be under crown copyright or local-government copyright.

In this particular case, though, it doesn't matter, since other editors have seen the image elsewhere and note that it is an artist's rendition and not legitimate. —C.Fred (talk) 05:20, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

No, actually, they've been proven to be real. Irwin's family even said they were, as well as those who witnessed his death. Floaterfluss ^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Then you've got a source for this image so we can all go see where it came from, right? —C.Fred (talk) 06:23, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Sigma Alpha Mu

I removed the links from the table of chapters and retained the rest of it. There is discussion at WP:AN#Fraternities and sororities and the consensus appears to be that such lists can stay in the articles but links to each chapter should not. Please feel free to add your two cents to that discussion. Thanks, Metros232 04:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Does the national organization have any chapter directory of links that we can add as a single link? That's one option that would work since all the links would be contained in one simple link rather than a table of them. I explored the national site and didn't see one, but thought maybe you'd know of one. Thanks, Metros232 04:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Zeta Phi Chapter of Beta Theta Pi

you might recall this entry was put up for a vote over deletion ~6 months ago. The issue was notability and chapter advocates cited Sam Walton, Kenneth Lay, Edgar Snow, Byron Calame, Gary Barnett, etc. The results were no consensus and it was allowed to remain. Suddenly it was deleted the other day, and appears to have been done so without any authority whatsoever. I didn't know who to ask, but you seemed to be judicious in handling the initial vote over notability, so is this deletion possible under the rules of Wikipedia? Personally, I thought the chapter had surpassed the standard of notability and am disappointed the page has been deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.63.10.24 (talk) 09:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC).

Thank you for your comments.

Location of Emory

Emory is located in the city of Atlanta. It is even referenced as being located in urban Atlanta by other encyclopedias, such as here and here (scroll down to Emory). Furthermore, the CDC and the American Cancer Society, which shares the Clifton Corridor with Emory, are both claimed to be located in Atlanta on their wiki pages, and no special distinction is made that they are in "suburban" Atlanta as opposed to "urban" Atlanta. I do not intend to make this specific distinction for Emory on its wiki page (although, clearly, other encyclopedias do). I only intend to indicate that it is located in the city of Atlanta, which it is. Emory is an Atlanta university. Please stop editing to the contrary.

Recentness

I don't have much of an opinion on the general matter yet, but regarding this edit, the fact that an event is recent does not make it encyclopedic, and in fact, likely the reverse is true... it's much easier to gauge the historical significance of an event after some time has passed.

Also, if you have any links that point out national exposure the event has gotten, that might be good to add to the article. --Interiot 16:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

My name is Pule Lechesa. Yesterday I sent a piece about an outstanding black writer in our Free State (Omoseye Bolaji) to you. I don't know whether I should reply you here, or on the original (Talk) page of mine (which you can also check). You asked for confirmation of the piece I wrote on Bolaji. Two more suggestions of ours here, at the request of the Provincial Writers Club:

1. Confirmation of Omoseye Bolaji garnering the "Lifetime Achievement Award" can again be seen from the highly respected (in Africa) website/blog: "the south african small publishers blog". See article titled "Lifetime Achievement Award for Omoseye Bolaji"

2. A completely impartial, competent, exclusive, international website (put together outside Africa...somewhere overseas) is the "worldcatlibraries.org" which lists all the recognised published authors in the world (including myself!). By checking "Omoseye Bolaji" on this website, you can again confirm that he has published about 20 books, adding authenticity to the small article I prepared on him for Wikipedia.

Thanks so much.

Congratulations. Here are what pass for words of wisdom from the puppy:

Remember you will always protect the wrong version. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. You will always pick the wrong one to do. (See #5) Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block. Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology. and finally, Remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

Assistance request

I have found myself involved in an article for deletion debate that seems to be getting too hot. I was trying to improve the page for Out Now Consulting using what I know about WP policies, but must confess that my experience here is very limited. I work in advertising and had their page on my watchlist for work from a project last year. I did not think the article should be deleted and said so, but I went back today and things seem just too hot - one user has been quite active in tagging people there for not contributing much, and I don't want to end up in that position. I set out trying to help by keeping an article that had been helpful to me professionally. Is there anything you might suggest? No-one else has been editing it much and I got most of it done last night I think but the citations apparently have to be tagged with templates and I did not get round to doing that. I contacted you because I noticed you were involved in a previous discussion about this article. Any advice, opinion or assistance is most appreciated. Thanks. PS - My username is apparently a WP problem and is going to be changed (if it can be?) My talk page has info on that. JeffStryker 12:49, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Block parameters

In reply to your question. The autoblock on the IP is only temporary - it wears off after a day or two. Just stops the vandal from creating a new account and starting again or using other accounts they may have already made. The autoblock will also affect editors with accounts but they can request that the autoblock be lifted. You can do that from Special:IPblocklist if the needs arises. The page includes a link to the autoblock finding tool [7]. If you check under my account [8], you will see that with an older block of mine (Nilmar2) the autoblock has now worn off (which is why its crossed out) so that block will no longer affect others using the same IP. The autoblock for Replkk is #515736 (there can be several if an account used multiple IPs) and you could unblock #515736 without lifting the block on Replkk if that was causing collateral damage for other users.

Not a major deal, I think it's a single bored schoolkid who'll probably give up once the weekend's out. :) There's been an unusual level of very similar vandalism of articles in or relating to a fairly confined local area in the South West of Western Australia (it hasn't even spread to the capital city, Perth), if you check the alleged puppetmaster's contribs the pic he uploaded should give some idea.

Yeah, I didn't tell them I was editing wikipedia, but they probably borrowed my station for something and one of my employees probably saw I was doing it. Not a big deal, as at this time I'm unable to verify it anyway.

Did you see the discussion on the AfD on the list of today about the proposed deletion of the article about positive vs. negative rights? I really hope they keep that. That's a very important article. So tired, can't wait to go home from work. As a side note, do you know where there's a list of the formatting rules? I'm not sure how to put this, but most of this I'm picking up as I go by looking at edits other people make. For example, I've leaned two equal signs gives me a new topic, and that the four tildes give me a signature, and three apostrophes bold it, etc. Is there a list anywhere where I can see how to do a bunch of those types of things?

Starting with : April 1, 1941 Iraqi coup by "The Seven," re-installing Rashid ‘Ali al-Kaylani as the head of a government of “National Defence”. Nuri al-Sa‘id and Faysal II flee. At first, Rashid ‘Ali signals intention to adhere to Anglo-Iraqi Treaty, but The Seven refuse the passage of British troops as required under the Treaty, and articulate pro-Axis positions; also supported by Palestinian pro-Axis leader Haj Amin El Husseini who had fled to Iraq.

Leads to: May 2, 1941 Britain invades Iraq to restore pro-British government. Rashid ‘Ali requests, and obtains, German support and other Axis support, but it is ineffective; Ali escaped to Tehran (29 May), then Germany (Nov 41) & Saudi Arabia (May 1945). Husseini likewise escaped to Germany. Click for details of Mufti, British Intervention and the Farhud

Leads to: June 1941 Farhud - civil order breaks down in Baghdad : became known as the ): extensive pogrom against Jews (120-600 killed, 2100 injured) & looting of their property by soldiers. The British ambassador, Kinahan Cornwallis, refused to allow British troops to enter the city until the pogrom was over. Click for details of British Intervention and the Farhud

Leads to: July 14, 1958 Qasim Coup in Iraq. King Faysal, Nuri As-Said and crown prince of Iraq are killed, together with Deputy PM Ibrahim Hashim & Defence Minister Sulayman Tuqan of the Federation; ‘Abd al-Karim Qasim becomes PM of Iraq. Qasim was initially Nasserist, & there was pressure from his deputy ‘Abd al-Salam ‘Arif (supported by ‘Aflaq, who moves to Baghdad; but discouraged by Nasser) to join the UAR. However, but Iraqi communist party, Shi‘a majority (Qasim himself was of half-Shi‘a parentage) & ethnic minorities urge Qasim to reject UAR: vying for leadership in Arab world turns Iraq against UAR.

Leads to: Oct 7, 1959 Failed Ba‘thist coup attempt on Qasim in Iraq; Qasim is injured and his driver killed. 78 Ba‘thists are tried, but one of them, Saddam Hussein, escapes to Syria & then Egypt.

Leads to: Feb 8, 1963 Qasim overthrown in Iraq by Ba‘ath party coup, led by ‘Abd al-Salam ‘Arif, who installs himself as President; Qasim executed by firing squad on 9Feb (the "Ramadan revolution"). ‘Arif also recognises the independence of Kuwait (Oct).

Leads to: July 16, 1979 Saddam Hussein replaces Ahmad Hasan Bakr as President of Iraq after dispute over Bakr favored closer links with Syria; Hussein cites Bakr's poor health, places him under house arrest and blames Syria for plotting a coup (28 July). Bakr dies, possibly due to poisoning, in 1982.

Leads to: Sept , 1980 Start of Iraq-Iran war - Iraq invades Iran after alleged Iranian artillery bombardment on Khonqin & Mandali (4 September), Iraqi abrogation of 1975 treaty ( 17Sept); Iraq quickly captures Khoramshahr (10 November) & Abadan. Both attack each others' oil facilities.

Leads to: 1987 Reports of chemical warfore attacks on Kurdish villages and guerrilla fighters became more frequent and detailed. Clinical evidence as well as soil samples, confirmed the use of mustard gas and the nerve agent tabun against the Kurdish population. Although the exact number of casualties is not certain, it is generally believed that several thousand Kurdish civilians and Iranian soldiers in the area were killed and several thousands more injured.

Leads to: August 2, 1990 Iraq invades Kuwait. UN resolution 660 calls for Iraqi withdrawal.

Leads to: January 17, 1991 The allied attack ("Operation Desert Storm") begins with an Apache helicopter strike at 2:38 A.M. Palestinian groups - PFLP & PLF support Iraq, with PLF sending troops to assist Iraq; Faruq al-Qaddumi, Yasir ‘Arafat & 84% of West Bankers in al-Nadwa poll in mid-Aug90 indicate solidarity with Iraq; 58% of West Bankers support Iraq's invasion in same survey) » subsequent expulsion of 300,000 Palestinian workers from Kuwait; Jordanians & Yemenis expelled also from Saudi). Saudi closes its border with Jordan, and suspends all foreign aid to it (as does US). All other Arab States oppose Iraq's actions.

Leads to: March-April 1991 Uprising of Kurds and Shi'a in Iraq, based on US encouragement. Begins in Basra, in early Mar. Major cities in South & Kurdish areas come under rebel control (government has continuous control over only a third of governorates). Southernn revolt crushed by 29Mar with recapture of Samawa & Northern revolt by early Apilr. Approx 1.5m Kurds flee into N & E Iraq, Turkey, Iran.

Leads to: Dec 17-20, 1998 Extensive US & British bombardment of Iraq in ‘Operation Desert Fox’, after UNSCOM head reports Iraq’s failure to fully cooperate; after end of the operation, Iraq again refuses UNSCOM permission to reenter Iraq, and US & UK continue bombardment, aimed at Iraq’s air defense capacity.

Culminating into: Hold your applause... March 19, 2003 War begins with US raid on meeting of Saddam with his advisors. Saddam is apparently unhurt. US forces invade southern Iraq, meeting relatively light resistance, but by March 22 are bogged down at Um Qasr and Basra in the south and Nasariyeh on the road to Baghdad.

Sorry to butt in but this is a blantant lie he has been explained the reason behind the format both on his talk page and in edit summaries. -凶 01:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll be echoing this to the talk pages of you both, but here's what I'm seeing:

1. An edit to make a change.
2. Reversion of the change citing the Wikiproject standard.
3. Reversion/"discussion" via edit summary.
4. Edit war ensues.

The place to settle this is the talk page. The project allows for an override at the article level, but it needs to be done through consensus, not unilaterally. I do point out to TheClownPrinceofCrime that the onus is on you to make a persuasive case, since you're requesting a change from what's established Wikiproject article structure. —C.Fred (talk) 01:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the Victoria Park Collegiate Institute article

Hello. I was wondering if you could tell me how you can make a MediaWiki installation in the library that's limited to just students. Then, I will try talking to our instructor about this. Sorry to bother you and thank you in advance. Eternal Memories 03:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

As you have asked, the school project does require the inclusion of other articles. It is easier to contact the teacher physically rather than attempt to e-mail him. If you require someone to do so, I will be willing to help. Uncompetence 01:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Its not a bad idea and I don't think there's going to be many objections. The difficulty is in getting the information to all the students. There are roughly 50 students I believe (many of them still procrastinating), but I think its a lot more efficient to speak to the classes physically. Uncompetence 02:24, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Apparently, they have until Sunday, I don't know anything about accomplishing this by Friday. If the idea is essentially to use the student's user pages as a means of holding articles, I don't think its too difficult to explain. If nothing else is an issue I could talk to the class myself tomorrow. Uncompetence 02:46, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

I attend Victoria Park CI and I know a couple of the students who are participating in this school project. That's how I came to watch the page. When you mentioned friday, I went and double-checked it with a couple more students, and it is definitively Sunday. And just to simplify the task, we could get one user to store all the subpages under their name. Uncompetence 03:02, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello... I've done some cleanup on the Thrillville (theater event) page, which you had marked with a "notability" tag.

Could you please check it and, I guess, remove the "notability" tag if it now meets the threshold? If you still deem it to lack notability, please feel free to let me know, I'm currently researching other citations (in 3rd party print) and can work to incorporate them.

Question

Hey quick question for ya, you recently deleted a section in the Utah DECA article explaining what DECA was. I added this as just a quick reference to what DECA is so you wouldn't have to read the entire DECA page to figure it out.
Do you feel that it should stay out or be put back in? and if it is a matter of a copyright violation, it is not. The paragraph in question is not a copyright violation, it was created by the 2006-2007 Utah officer team for the purpose of explaining what DECA is.

reply

maybe i wasn't totally clear with what i was saying about that paragraph. They wrote that for everyone to use as a way to explain what deca is. they released it for public use so that all of the members could have a dialog to explain. it is not a copyright violation because they released it for public use.

I should probably say "my bad". I've come across a few incidents where the original creator of a vanity/non-notable individual article have kept removing the speedy deletion tag.

The page was deemed inappropriate because it was an article about a person with no assertion of significance or importance (see criterion for speedy deletion #7 for articles). Given that you have been previously warned for introducing non-encyclopedic articles, that's why I gave the warning that I did. Additionally, the article was auto-biographical; you have a user page to write about yourself. —C.Fred (talk) 03:45, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Violadamore

Could we please discuss why you deleted my article? Thank you —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Violadamore (talk • contribs) 02:15, 18 June 2007 (UTC).

I deleted the article because the strongest claim of notability was a guest appearance on the Oprah show, and because no independent sources were provided to back up the claim. —C.Fred (talk) 02:19, 18 June 2007 (UTC) (as posted at User talk:Violadamore)

First, allow me to remove a shred of doubt that is probably clinging to the back of your mind, I am not Phil McCrea. I would say that his most notable contribution was being the president of the NABT. I thought that this article, given that the National Association of Biology Teachers article is considered to be a stub, and needs help. I agree, being on the oprah show is not worthy of a Wiki article, but i feel that he has done more than that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Violadamore (talk • contribs) 02:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC).

Presidency of NABT was second on my list of possible claims of notability. It's the one that gave me the most hesitation. Had there been a source to support that, the article would have gone to proposed deletion or AfD instead of being speedily deleted. Have you got a source for it? —C.Fred (talk) 02:29, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Here's one source that Lists Phil multiple times. However, seeing as this is the promotional brocure for their conference this year, he is not the president, only the 'local arrangements chair' Brocure

Here is a page to an article he wrote while pres. article

Here is a publication from his school congratulating him on his title Congrats

Lastly, here is another brocure from the NABT listing him as a past president past pres.

Clearly, the man is still vrey active in the NABT and perhaps that deserves more attention in my article, but he should not be speedily deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Violadamore (talk • contribs) 02:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC).

Yep, that works for me. Bear with me here. While you're at it, you can write up a fair use rationale for the Oprah screenshot. Otherwise, that needs to come out of the article. —C.Fred (talk) 02:45, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Could you explain how and what I do to add credability or whatever to the picture? I'm new to the whole Wiki images thing —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Violadamore (talk • contribs) 02:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC).

Also, thanks with the formatting help on the page, I was wondering how you get it all justified like that —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Violadamore (talk • contribs) 02:55, 18 June 2007 (UTC).

First, congratulations! You are the first person who has requested and presented a case for restoration of an article I have deleted. I have placed it under the better title of Phil McCrea. I have also added an intro to the article stating his "fame" and made a few other additions, including adding references to support that he's a president of NABT.

Second, any time a non-free image is used on Wikipedia, a fair use rationale needs to be provided. As a general rule of thumb, you can't use nonfree images—of which TV screenshots are included—in articles about living people. Because the image was a screenshot of him appearing on Oprah, and because that's discussed in the article, we may be able to skirt the issue here. However, the rationale needs to state, in your own words, that 1) The image is used to complement discussion in the article and enhance it, 2) no free image is available as an alternative, 3) the image is low-resolution, to prevent unexpected downstream use 4) using the image won't financially hurt the copyright holder.

Finally, as a housekeeping note, don't forget to sign your comments on Talk pages with ~~~~ at the end of your comment. That adds your name and the date/time.

Happy editing! —C.Fred (talk) 03:02, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

One last thing, I swear. Where do I say all this about the picture? Thanks so much for your help and everything you have done to help my little project come along. Uh, Let's try this signature Violadamore 03:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, good point! The fair use rationale for the picture goes on the image page itself—in this case, Image:PhilMcCreaOprah.jpg. That way, anybody who stumbles onto the image knows the story behind it and its status. All images need a copyright tag: in this case, I've added {{Non-free television screenshot}} to indicate what the image is. Below that, you just start a section with the rationale. —C.Fred (talk) 03:16, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Pine Glenn Cove/Glorifying Prose

Fred, You tagged the page with "needs sources" tag, yet you removed what I view as a reliable source--the Deseret News. You may wish to visit deseretnews.com . This is arguably Utah's number 1 daily. Please consider reverting this source. Much of the wording now used in the article comes from Deseret News. Further, I disagree with the removal of the recollections. It is based on these very facts, sentiments, and "prose" that awards a place into the national historic register. Pine Glenn Cove was granted this standing in large based on the value of Odlum's contribution and is in a way a tribute to his memory.

I agree with your comment on the adjectives. Consider restoring the deletion, or make a suggestion on improving the phrasing of the deleted material. Afterall, people are looking for information, and I suggest providing it to them. Especially when it's relevant, "verifiable," and pertinent to the historic matter of an encyclopedic entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sgetmanenko (talk • contribs) 06:24, 19 June 2007 (UTC).

Fred,

Instead of being helpful you are being uncooperative. I have contacted the Deseret News and inquired about using their text and giving them proper credit. In citing them I followed their recommended pattern. You, on the other hand, only talk up big rhetoric and do nothing to help anybody here. Chill out, tough guy, and instead of throwing around accusations of plagiarism restore the reference that gave credit to Deseret News. There are plenty of newspaper and other media citations on wikipedia and so far I haven't seen you delete them. That ought to keep you busy for a while. And last of all swallow your pride and act with some dignity and professionalism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sgetmanenko (talk • contribs).

Fair enough. I think I will live with the article which doesn't include the memoirs. What about removing "needs sources" tag? There is nothing too controversial in the article. Nothing that really needs additional "third party" verifications. Basic time line and description of the property. All of this was verified by the National Historic Register before admitting Pine Glenn Cove into the Register. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sgetmanenko (talk • contribs) 23:19, 19 June 2007 (UTC).

Longview Baptist Temple

It seemed in the discussion page that deletion was based on notability, but I'm quite sure that 4500 member (based not only on newspaper articles, but also on listings for United States megachurches) church would be notable. On top of that, a semipopular book and thriving online discussion sets it above a common establishment, not to mention that much of the discussion is based on quite a bit of notoriety. I would seem that the fact that there are Wikipedia users looking for an article, multiple users have attempted to write an entry and discussions are taking place as far away as Canada, that there is more to the deletion than notability. What needs to be done? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BURNyA (talk • contribs) 03:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC).

Hey i just wanted to know why "Bandit edwards" was deleted? Is this a personal decision? Everything there was factual. Could you give me a valid reason as to why you deleted my content please? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rob burl (talk • contribs) 12 Jun 2007.

You're right, the subject is not human. Does that make it ok to disregard the fact he/it ever existed? I'm sure if you search "Tiger" you'll find ample evidence of it's existence on these very pages. How can the content be verifiable when it's only known to a few choice people? Please explain to me how i can create a Wikipedia article in memoriam of a loved one. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rob burl (talk • contribs) 12 Jun 2007.

Medical Spa / Day Spa

I am trying to figure out why a link I added to Medical Spa is removed when the link just above my entry was nothing different. Unless there is a reason to leave the other that I don't know about, it would seem both should stay or go, rather than this apparent prejudicial approach. Additionally, I am more than willing to discuss what it would take to contribute valuable content to both articles (I have plenty of appropriate material), but I'm not going to spend a second on it when it can all be deleted with a click (and the link deletions are an indication of how easy it is). I'm glad I tested the waters before spending valuable time contributing to a community that shoots first and asks questions later. Alliedhealth 17:08, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Interesting. While I must commend you for attempting to adhere no further than an angstrom from policy, all you ended up doing was to discourage me from contributing in the future, for fear of wasting my time. While I would have enjoyed contributing a plethora of information to both articles, the value of doing so has been permanently exterminated. Oh, and obviously you have little understanding of these industries. The crippling impact of lawsuits on the health and beauty industries have made the topic of significant interest to both practitioners and clients - a topic that, to be included in the WP, will now have to be supplied by someone else (who somehow has all this valuable knowledge without also having some sort of 'conflict of interest'). And a final note: 'repeatedly adding links' = 'twice?' and 'multiple' = 'two?'. Wow! 'Nuff said. I'll spend years laughing at your time twiddling with these WP articles for the rest of your exciting life. No wonder there's so much vandalism and inaccuracy. Haughty admins are spending all their time on truly vacuous frivolity. Enjoy. Alliedhealth 22:00, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Nope. Directly from WP's policy page User_pages: "You are welcome to include a link to your personal home page, although you should not surround it with any promotional language." Which I did. And it was deleted. Thanks WP. I'm gone for good. You either lie about the policies, or wield the sword in disregard of the policies. One or the other. Alliedhealth 17:49, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I didn't ever even imply that you modified my userpage. That would be idiotic considering the deleter signed his/her name. I was merely pointing out that living within an angstrom of policy is an apparent common creed among wiki admins that limits contribution by knowledgeable individuals. One of your cohorts proved that when my userpage was wiped. It must be awe-inspiring to feel so much power below the fingertips. Good thing it's always a keyboard instead of activity that could pollute the gene pool.

hello, I noticed that my page was deleted. You gave some reasonable explanations for why it was deleted.

Hi. I'm new here. As my first page, I tried to create a page for one of my favorite comic book writers... but it was quickly deleted. I'm not sure why. This writer's name appears in several other articles (Power Pack, Franklin Richards, Chris Eliopoulos) as a dead link. He is not an unknown person either (he has been nominated for many major comic book awards). What makes this person unworthy of a page when so many other artists and writers are represented? Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Comicfan72 (talk • contribs) 01:25, 28 June 2007 (UTC).

Thanks for the help. I've read several articles on this writer on-line over the past few years. If I cited one of those interviews and reposted the info, would the page be less likely to be deleted? Just trying to figure out how this all works. Any help is appreciated. Comicfan72

Great. I reposted it with a bunch of sources that I've read about this guy. Legitimate newspapers, publishers' websites, on-line industry sites, etc. Hopefully that does the trick this time. Otherwise, I give up. --Comicfan72 02:50, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Brooke Thompson AKA Pumkin

I think it's crazy that she can't have a page. I think she meets the standards of Wikipedia:Notability (people) because she:

"Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following" -She's very popular with anyone who watches VH1, heck, she was fired from her job because kids kept wanting to take pics with her. Even on Charm School, some guy recognized her and wanted to to spit on him, that's definately a 'cult' following.

"Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment" -She HAS made a unique contribution to a field of entertainment (reality TV)...she SPIT on someone! That's not a good thing but it her action was the highlight of the series.

She's a popular TV icon and I think she should have her own page. Now since you deleted her page, I suggest you do a search for "Red Oyster" and delete that page because Red Oyster was far less popular than Pumkin and it's rediculous that she be allowed to have a page if Pumkin isn't.

Also, you made mention of how Pumkin's "15 minutes are up", based on that statement, you might as well delete "Hoopz" and "Deelishis" because, yeah, they both won, but who's heard from them lately? It's like they feel off the planet.

Epidermolysis Bullosa

If you haven't guessed from the edit comments, the edit-warriors on this article apparently have an off-wiki dispute. There are at least two OTRS tickets about the issue - although I don't see OTRS being able to help in what is essentially an off-wiki content dispute. Maybe we could get someone from WikiProject on Medical genetics involved? --Versageek 02:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that, and I very nearly blocked the other participant in the war for the same reason. (It takes two to tango, after all.) I considered whether to comment on the talk page about the links, but in light of the war, I don't think I'd get a fair sample of opinion by asking there. I agree that getting the WikiProject people involved is a good idea; best case, they've got a policy about links and what should(n't) be included. —C.Fred (talk) 02:27, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

THANK YOU for getting involved. I agree it looks like an outside conflict but I assure you EBmom's motives are corrupt and it won't take long to point out. Please contact me or Liberty1960 (preferred) so she can point out the rather transparent corrupt activities going on on both websites. This issue has been reported and we were told nothing could be done through the channels we went through. For now all we could do is try to prevent her websites to remain here. In her talk she claims she has left our websites alone and this is not true. The proof is in the edit history. She also said some nasty things in Talk and as you can see we did not reply to these things. We realy do need your help in this matter. Wellmagic1089 02:45, 9 July 2007 (UTC)Welmagic1089 - 9 July 2007

GREETINGS - I am the founder and event organizer of "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" Relay-Rally for National Epidermolysis Bullosa Awareness Week 2007. I'm Director of Awareness & Education for dEBra Canada, and a volunteer for the two nonprofit charitable organizations listed on the "Epidermolysis Bullosa" Wiki pages - DebRA of America and EBMRF, as well as DebRA International, the umbrella organization for all DebRA chapters. These two nonprofits, DebRA and EBMRF are (as you will see if you go to www.ebrelay.org) benefiting from, and supportive of this national EB awareness - both even have articles about it on their websites - see http://www.ebkids.org/newsevents.html and http://www.debra.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=90. In 2005 and 2006, I led the volunteers who passed the Senate and Congress legislation, making this awareness week a reality. You are welcome to write to either nonprofit and ask them if what I say here is factual.

Also, all of the Reference persons who posted medical information are involved in this event. Unfortunately, the woman who has repeatedly REMOVED the information about the "Walk a Mile" event and website, www.ebrelay.org, is not involved in the campaign, and she is apparently jealous enough that she is stooping to this level.

When the above person, wellmagic1089, saw that she'd removed the site and added her own, he then began to try to do something - granted, this may not have been the best plan, as she has continued to remove the Relay-Rally site over and over again, and put hers up in its stead. wellmagic1089 is a coordinator of the EB Relay-Rally, so he felt he was protecting this national awareness event. I did so once myself, when I saw she had removed the event, and immediately wrote to Wikipedia, but I have done nothing since but await your response. After all, I had posted the "Walk a Mile" information originally, before she ever attempted to post anything, and I do not believe she has the RIGHT to remove this information!

Silvia Corradin's website EB InfoWorld is a PERSONAL website, nothing more - and EBAN, which she is on the Board of Directors of, is not even a legally approved (in the sense of the IRS naming them a 501(c)3) nonprofit organization - which you can see for yourself by viewing www.ebanusa.org - there is no 501(c)3 number indicated OR available.

PLEASE block this person from continuing this harassment on all pages related in any way to "Epidermolysis Bullosa." I invite you to contact scohen@debra.org, the Executive Director of DebRA of America, and ebmrf@comcast.net, the President of EB Medical Research Foundation, or Dr. Ellen Pfendner, Dr. Jounni Uitto, or Dr. Jo-David Fine, as I have alerted them all to this regrettable provocation. Thank you for your speedy attention to this problem, as time is of the essence and October will be here before we know it.

BUT HE HAD A PRO CONTRACT COMING TO HIM AT MILLWALL AS WELL AS FIRST TEAM FOOTBALL ONLY HE DIDNT STAY!!!

And you cant even say that there is no guarantee that wouldnt have happened. If Amoo was big enough to go to Liverpool, Millwall would have been hoping against hope they were able to make Amoo stay.If u r aware of football 100% cases like those of Amoo u wud have seen the player become a first team footballer if he stayed at the smaller club when he turned 17.

What is surprising is that James McCarthy has a place here(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_McCarthy_%28footballer%29#_note-3) but not Amoo.McCarthy maybe a first team player for Accies but Hamilton Academical is much smaller club than millwall and had he been playing in england then he would have not have had any first team football until he turns 17.Further if he had signed for a big club like liverpool he would have had to wait even longer. So the policy is very strange.

Why cant u guys wait for a few days and check how many hits u get on an article before u delete it?--Anaswakhani 22:43, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Check this link out: http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=441114&CPID=8&clid=14&lid=&title=Blues+eye+Accies+starlet

Just like Amoo,James McCarty does not have a personal page on Skysports.com, which should appear next to the news piece and below "Team Pages"

For example see following site: http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=476907&CPID=219&clid=114&lid=2&title=Becks+targets+ton&channel=football_home&

You can see also that Hamilton does not have a club page but Millwall DOES: http://home.skysports.com/club.aspx?clid=103&cpid=11--Anaswakhani 22:49, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

If Amoo does not deserve page so should be the case with mccarthy regardless of whether he plays first-team or not.It all comes down to the circumstances and you cant a keep rule set in stone that says 'footballers not yet porfessional dont get page'!--Anaswakhani 22:57, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Quote:As for James McCarthy, he makes a separate claim of notability, being the youngest player to appear for Hamilton Academicals in the 21st century. Since that's a squad in the second tier of the Scottish football system, I'll by that as an assertion of notability.

This is unbelievable. If McCarthy was in england and had singed in january for liverpool he would have been in the same position as amoo- no pro contract, no first team football. What wud u have done then?--Anaswakhani 23:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Quote:Further, the rule isn't that all non-professional footballers don't get pages. There are other criteria for notability; additionally, certain amateur athletes can be notable on the virtue of their amateur career alone. Since all you touched on was his pro career, that's the only piece of the puzzle I looked at.

So wat else do u require.I have given the biggest proof in Willie Donachie's comments which tells u that david wud HAVE been a first team footballer had he signed. Even though he isnt now, had wiki considered the CIRCUMSTANCES, he wud have a page.His level is same as mccarty.

Quote:I'm not going to keep going down the hypothetical road, but yes, if McCarthy hadn't done anything notable, he wouldn't be notable.

Oh wow being the youngest player in 7 years for a tiny club, which I proved does not have a page on skysports, and can give examples of more sites if u want,but even the 4th english league clubs, the coca cola league 2 clubs, have their own pages(http://home.skysports.com/league.aspx?cpid=12), and being the youngest player to score for the same tiny club makes him notable.Incredible!--Anaswakhani 23:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

He rejected a professional deal in favour of Liverpool, where he can't turn pro until he turns 17(in january) and even then he won't get any first-team football.In same ways,therefore, he's even less notable than david amoo.Also no links or sources are given. Proof he's not first team player-Liverpool's official website squad list has no dani pacheco listed: http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/team/squad/ Why wasn't the pacheco page deleted?--Anaswakhani 00:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Misunderstanding

Hi C.Greg, It seems we have a misunderstanding. it is true i was fooling around with that page in some aspects. However, if it is to be a true neutral article both sides of a story should be shown. now do i edit what they write to be true or do I add what is true in an article after the opening. My father was a creator of the school so as far as my knowledge of the topic I know more than they would like to share. is that against the rules? btw iam sorry for the slanderous remarks i did make. be it known however they were made in jest and there was no foul play involved.

well in that case why would the article be there in the first place? It was written by someone directly affiliated with the school in question. Their side of the story is the only one presented. Therefore I would like to add my experience with that particular school as an actual student. if neutrality is what is wanted then you cannot only accept what the page maker would like you to believe about the school.

as far as proof... what proof is there that a student was expelled for dying their hair from brown to blond? or a student being expelled for not wearing their blazer jacket walking into the building even though their star student did the same without any reprocussions. How is it that those researching the school can get a picture of what they are getting into without any first hand accounts and the only sources are those that make the school out to be something it isnt. Iam trying to balance the article as it is already wildy tilted one way.

Undeletion review on Terrorstorm

I'd like the deletion of the page about Terrorstorm to be reviewed, for the following two reasons:

• The request for deletion was biased strongly biased, I've read the user page of user Pablo and it says the following:

I have come to find out that any group with the word truth in its name exists for the sole purpose of spreading lies.

How to find articles that should be deleted

The best way to find an article that fails Wikipedia's policies on inclusion is to use an article's what links here page. Often, crappy articles link to more well-known articles within the same subject. Here are some what links here links that are especially helpful in finding bad articles:

* Loose Change * 9/11 Truth Movement * Daily Kos More coming!

• The reasons for deletion no longer apply. After reading the discussions on previous deletion, most arguments were concerning the fact that the movie was not well known, using a simple search on Google I found out the movie Terrorstorm has more hits than another movie which does have it's own article, America: freedom to fascism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Joehoe665 (talk • contribs) 22:03, 28 July 2007 (UTC).

Church Of God In Christ Changes

Fred, you elimated the COGIC statement of faith from the file update that I did. I believe this is in error. You seem to have been worried about copyright infringement. The Assembly Of God information on this site lists 16 beliefs (Faith Affirmations) in detail regarding their beliefs as an organization. There is no reason to eliminate the ones I posted on COGIC without also eliminating the Assembly Of God info also. I will be reposting the information on the site as it is representative of the beliefs of COGIC and I believe it is highly in ordera and appropriate to do so because it is reflective of "common knowledge" among both COGIC leadership and membership. Additionally, the information from the other gentleman regarding C.P. Jones is inaccurate. I know because I have interviewed people who were there during the events mentiond. Many of the individuals I interviewed knew the individuals involved personally. Bishop Mason won the use of the name Chuch Of God In Christ in court because he had the name BEFORE Elder C.P. Jones or anyone else and was able to sucessfully make that argument. The Assemblies Of God also initially retained the title Church OF God In Christ untill they were required to change later. So far as the split was concerned Bishop Mason was never kicked out or disfellowshipped from the Church Of God In Christ. The parties seperated themselves and formulated other organizations. I am aware of the books published that you listed however, those works offer inaccuracies that the former Presiding Bishop L.H. Ford addressed both sermonically and in church video presentations. We will continue with the preservation of the factual record as espoused by church leaders and them that knew the former generation personally Thank you for your attention to this matter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pastor H. Burnett (talk • contribs) 14:18, 3 August 2007 (UTC).

COGIC Information

Thank you for your response but please know that I can verify my sources as being from church leaders and currently published records. I was trained under an 90 + year old COGIG Bishop who passed away about 6 years ago, I have personally written about these facts so my statements ARE NOT speculitive. I have self published (Poor Boy) work regarding the Histor Of Pentecostalism and Holiness- Dunamis Publishing 1997. So my statements are not only relevant in my work but also in the other work that I will provide more specific detailed information on as soon as I learn how to notate and footnote on this system. Please don't treat me as a novice. Although I'm new to this system, I've done this for over 26 years. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pastor H.

John Klemmer Bio

C fred

I was posting the bio of John Klemmer with his permission. In fact he wrote text. His computer skills are not that good so he had me post it for him. He would like his bio to be the way I edited it.

If you have questions about his authorizing me, email him at remohjmusic@earthlink.net .

Is it possible to return the bio the state I had it? Or do I have to do it over again? Please respond asap as John is upset as he doesn't want the bio as it appears before the changes, he wants the bio to be as he wrote it.

Greetings! I saw the proposed John Klemmer bio that you posted on my talk page. Just doing a quick scan, a lot of it would have to go, as there are assertions made, e.g. about his innovativeness, that don't mention what critics consider him to be. Second, I don't see any indication of what independent sources you used in preparing the bio. My gut feeling is also, the way it's worded, it would get deleted as advertising relatively quickly. —C.Fred (talk) 21:18, 4 August 2007 (UTC) as posted to User talk:Pfbrunner

On closer inspection, that text is not usable, because it is under copyright by Klemmer.[15] The Foundation would have to receive correspondence from Klemmer licensing that bio under GFDL for it to be usable. However, I don't see any particular justification to use the article wholesale; I think we're better served with an article made up of editors' text. —C.Fred (talk) 21:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

An important letter

Dear roads editor,

You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.

This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.

After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.

The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.

In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.

For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.

In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.

All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.

In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.

Deletion of Peggy Levitt article

Hello C. Fred,

I am working for Peggy Levitt and was wondering why her article was deleted on August 2. I see that it was up for a proposed deletion and unfortunately I wasn't on the project until after it expired and therefore the article was deleted. We would like to request for it to be undeleted and so if you can tell me what needs to be fixed or changed, I would appreciate it. Thanks! Smalin28 14:42, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Again!?

I created a page and it was deleted before I had a chance to finish it. I put 'hold on' at the top, and still, it was deleted. When I finished the article, I copied it and started a new page of the same material. I was told by someone not to create the same page twice, but I didn't get to finish the first time. I know that you are trying to protect this site from bogus articles, but my article was true and useful. It deserved to be in this encyclopedia, but it was deleted twice.
There are many other articles on this site that are far more useless than mine and no one deletes them. I know that my article wasn't that long, but it was longer than many other articles. And my article was actually useful. If you have any suggestions for me on how to keep my page from being deleted, please talk to me. Thank you.

My name is Marcellas Reynolds. I have come here many times and seen many nasty things written about me. In an effort to help I corrected my date of birth, took out my location as that is private and in a climate where celebrities are constantly stalked I don't want that information out there.

Thank you for directing this to the talk page of the article. I have warned Seaver for a possible violation of the three-revert rule.

I had looked at his edit history and his talk page before reverting - I followed WP:AGF and tried to give him an opportunity to make good on his comments.

Not sure why my entry keeps getting deleted. I created a page for Don Tate. I'm an author/illustrator of children's books. It was deleted. Then I realized I needed more information, so I added my list of books, and then a list of verifiable and critical sources, articles that have been written about me (not by me) — Publishers Weekly, Booklist Magazine, Kirkus,Black Issues Book Review. It was deleted again. I am not self published, by a long shot. And my sources -- page numbers included, are good.

Uner 'Criteria for notability of people" I would fall under "Creative Professional, author illustrator." And I felt that I fit those criteria, listing awards and recognition. I've seen others in my field with less information or sources listed.

Hi there: I'm having a problem that I thought you might help me with. You may want to look at The BRA, created today by User:Ogwuegbu121. This page was previously speedied about four times as The Best Rapper Alive by a user that you blocked a little while ago for, among other things, vandalizing your talk page. I noticed the page without having investigated the history, and simply put a ((db-band)) tag on it. However, another user quite rightly deleted the tag because it doesn't apply to mixtapes. Frankly, I can't think of a way to get this page speedied, and I don't think it merits the entire formal deletion process. Would you care to take a hand, even if only to advise me on what to do? Many thanks in advance for any action you care to take here. Accounting4Taste 02:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Chase McCullum

Can I not honor someone who is arguably the most famous resident of a small town in Mississippi? The page is new and will have further revisions as I add historical significance and reasons for the biography, but he's a figure that is putting a small town on the map and the town has honored him by having a day named after him. May I continue? --J0rdantay10r 04:37, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Athol Visser.

If you had read devil incarnate you would know that Athol Visser is a very signifigant individual. He was involved in the Olof Palme assasination,one of the great crimes of the twentieth century. He is also an amazing special forces soldier and was involved in the Nyadzonya raid with the Selous scouts. I would request that you restore my page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mm1306 (talk • contribs) 12:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Deleted Acrocat Software

You had deleted without warning an article about Acrocat Software. Rather than immediately delete it, you should give me an opportunity to fix the article.

Milan Hlavsa

Hi, I'm the guy writing the page on Milan Hlavsa (the bassist from the PPU). I'm new to wikipedia, and writing this for a class that deals with the fall of communism in eastern Europe in 1989. In the Hlavsa page, I fully intend to flesh out the article and explain Hlavsa's significance both to the Plastic People (and their importance to Charter 77, Havel, and thus the fall of communism).

If this gets deleted, it's going to be a pain to rewrite.

Just give me a few days, and then I'm sure you'll see the relevance of what I'm doing. I intend to add my sources and other things as I learn how (as I said, I'm new to wikipedia).

So please!!! Stop flagging it for deletion!!! I really appreciate it.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thesandman2099 (talk • contribs) 02:19, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Hlavsa

That would be absolutely fine.

I have no idea of wikipedia ettiquite yet, so I'm sorry if I caused any problems. If you could "userfy" it for me that would be fine.

User:Notespace is Getting Blocked

Any objection to an indefinite block as a single-purpose account, and for the username? Tom Harrison ^Talk 18:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Midgetism

I feel that the deletion of the page: Midgetism was unjust. The speedy deletion warning due to "nonsense" and “no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent" was deleted by accident. I'm contesting this deletion because (1) I do not feel my hypothesis is "nonsense" and (2) I would not have staked my whole University credit on this topic if it was "unsalvageably incoherent". So I feel just because as of yet my hypothesis doesn't have any 'tangible" evidence I still believe people aught to know, and you are therefore censoring me. True I did make up a reference and person but i felt that if I didn't do that it would be deleted for sure.

---

The whole thing was MY hypothesis based on a theory by one of my professors. What i put on wikipedia is a summarization of said hypothesis and theory and was put on wikipedia to see what other people thought of it. So therefor the "reliable source" would be my professor. Although he is a source there is no proof of his involvement as he didn't publish this theory.

São Paulo

Hi Fred,

I noticed you've reverted Fel Arthur and warned him. Well, he's at it again. Do you want to take care of this yourself, since you are the one who issued the final warning, or would you like me to put it on AIV?--Dali-Llama 02:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

No, there hasn't. I didn't pay much attention to him in the past couple of days, but a simple diff from my last version the version before will show all his changes. He's sandwiching pictures, making the right side one long picture gallery with no breaks in between, and adding machine-translated text ("etnias" section) with several translation errors. He's been reverted by at least Fvasconcellos and myself, if not others (it's hard to go through all the diffs. He's refused to engage in the discussion page. If you'd like something more "formal", he's already violated the 3RR today.--Dali-Llama 02:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

And he just deleted text, which is what I explicitly warned against. He just earned himself 24 hours to read the MOS and study your comment—which i advised him to in my block message. —C.Fred (talk) 02:30, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Florida-Florida State rivalry

Fred, you deleted my addition to the Ron Zook/Bobby Bowden Field aspect of the Florida-Florida State rivalry. I inadvertantly was not logged in at the time I added to that article, so perhaps that's why you did this. I assure you, I meant my additions to be fair to both schools and that I have no bias towards either school, just a genuine interest in College Football. - Poucher (talk) 09:10, 10 September 2007 (EDT).

Update: User C.Fred subsequently made some minor edits to my original post and reposted it after I raised my concern, which I think is fair and I agree with. - Poucher (talk) 09:51, 10 September 2007 (EDT).

Mark Gastineau

Hi, I have had to revert the above page on *numerous occasions to stop "superlative" edits by IP user: 70.181.10.95

Despite warnings on that person's talk page, they persist with these type of edits.

It's tiresome to have to keep on reverting, so as someone who has a big interest in that sport do you know if they can be blocked once and for all? Thanks for your help, bigpad 09:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I see your point about the pattern of vandalism by the anonymous editor. I gave a uw-vandalism4 warning today and cautioned them that any further disruptive edits from that address may be grounds for an immediate block. Please advise (or report to WP:AIV) if the editor comes back. —C.Fred (talk) 21:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

User talk:201.151.123.9

I reported this vadnalism on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism and you removed it without taking any action. You didn't even put another awarning on his page. At this rate, he will do it yet again.--Dr who1975 16:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I didn't act against the address because one edit was made from there in the preceding week, which was two days before your report. It hasn't made any edits since then. That doesn't qualify as "active" in my book, so no action is warranted at AIV. —C.Fred (talk) 21:00, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

You deleted the article about Perimeter Records. I will attempt to rewrite with a better discussion of it's significance. One thing worth noting is that the owner has a long history in the music business with many gold and platinum recordings to his credit. Other awards include the Visionary Award from 3M for work with Mary J. Blige and and the Ampex Golden Reel Award for work with Heavy D.. Jamey Staub has also been written up in Mix magazine and Allmusic.com. The label itself is noteworthy for it's strong commitment to only signing acts that believe in their art as opposed to preprogrammed crap written for the unintelligent masses.Rocktheknobs 04:22, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Napier message

Hi "Please stop. If you continue to add defamatory content, as you did to Napier, New Zealand, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. —C.Fred (talk) 03:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

wasn't defamatory per my understanding of the word and definition, defamatory would be if he was ALLEGED to have, however in this case he was CONVICTED in open court.

Of course I could always be wrong, but to me stating an irrefutable fact isn't defamatory. If I alleged other offences, sure defamatory, but I didn't. It may not be pleasant, but neither were the acts for which he was convicted.

If you want to unedit on that basis, by all means - I will trust your discretion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sintoo (talk • contribs) 04:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Edit Wars

Hi Fred. I noticed your comments to Calton regarding Edit Wars on Reverting along with quite a few others having the same problem with that user. I'm currently trying to enter a new tv series and am new at all this.. i've only recently learnt how to communicate on wiki. but how can i stop him from reverting my page everytime. Its been at least 4-5 times now and each time i try to edit it somehow to make it acceptable. now its only one paragraph after being a really in depth page about the show...thanks,

I've also noticed he groups up with others to revert pages continiously in ways that seem unethical to Wikipeida... as per these comments on his talk page:

"Anyway, he's already reverted your edit. I or someone else will revert it again after a while, but I've done that twice in the last day or so, so I'm being careful not to overdo it. I welcome you to revert it again, though of course, don't get yourself into 3RR either. There are a couple others watching that page and eventually someone else will do so too. But for now, since he's active today, if you don't mind one more revert, that would be cool.

If you'd rather not, no problem either way; thanks for your help and have a good day. --Parsifal _Hello 21:53, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Where should vandalism report be filed?

Apparently I complained at the wrong place. Where should I complain to get this person's User:Leevoy IP blocked for obvious vandalism on the Pat Lang biography article. Sample of his six edits even after he was waned by a bot and another editor reverted him. "Walter Patrick "Pat" Lang, Jr., is the president of the cannington handymen. He is a retired Jehovahs witness Colonel who served in the Handymen army (the Green Berets) during the Yobs attack. Lang graduated from the Penrose with a BA in English and from the College of bridgwater with an MA in Handymanship. He is a member of The darts team. Lang is a member of the Chess men, a Jehovah order, in which he holds the rank of the longest gone with out sexual inntercource in sommerset . Patrick is known by many as the local handyman around cannington. He is currently a vergin but maybe this will sonn change." Godspeed John Glenn! Will 00:01, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
