Pomeroy

Deleting the 'speedy deletion' was an accident. Please see my comments to see why Pomeroy should not be deleted. Mdkoch84 (talk) 11:45, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I didn't make the edits attributed to me, I think my IP must have switched or something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.126.144.219 (talk) 01:01, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

phalanx

 i know a good deal as i said before and do not like how i am being treated i mean really its just a theory like the pushing thing why dont you remove that its a theory. and who are the refrences other people who study history like me! they only know what they read which came from some one else who got that from  things they read which means the only things everybody knows are not facts we think they are but we cant be sure of it. only the ancient people can and we have read their writings and found out a good deal but just because i dont have a peice of freaking paper that says im a certified historian i cant write here! i bet if i was a freaking historian i couldnt write here cause the refrences would be myself! your design is flawed and badly done like the fuedal pyramid. yours truly --Hoplite54 (talk) 03:29, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
First of all you need to learn how to use the shift key. Nobody is going to take your edits seriously without at least that much. Read WP:NOR as well. And, no, you cannot cite yourself as a reference no matter what degrees you have. Eeekster (talk) 03:30, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Sea Turtle

Hi eekster.. I just attended a lecture a t UC Berkeley from a woman who had received her Master's in Sea Turtle protection and Remote Sensing. She said that Sea turtles have no natural enemy other than man.. do you have sources for your Tiger Sharks comment? Also the sentance I replaced is badly formed and rambling.. -Brian —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.92.13.78 (talk) 16:00, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, sources are plentiful and the ones I found trump "heard in a lecture". Eeekster (talk) 23:38, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

INSFOC

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NOT#DIR is the another issue - since when does English wikipedia have lists of names as valid articles :(  ??? SatuSuro 01:51, 11 July 2008 (UTC) Most lists like this in the Indonesia project are because they are usually put up by minimal english editors who love to see their red links and their lists in the English project - rarely do they ever edit further as they simply do not have the material to use for WP:CITE, or their englsh is not good enough to add sufficient body to the text - unfortunately. SatuSuro 02:00, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I can see that. The current editor certainly isn't adding much in the way of prose and can't seem to do cites well either. Eeekster (talk) 02:02, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunately its a cat and mouse situation at the project - im gonna sit and wait on this one - if there is any further issue I will put it up for afd - as it stands there is nothing to defend it - specially with the lists of names - sorry to have bothered you about it - its a long and complicated story on the indonesia project SatuSuro 02:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
No need to be sorry. I'm always willing to learn about things and now I now about this kind of problem. Eeekster (talk) 02:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Offline i could wax lyrically and take hours of your time explaining the ins and outs of dealing with lists in the indonesian project - but its so boring in the end SatuSuro 02:09, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

the undo on Perth Airport (Scotland)

While I feel the writer definately didn't do the best job on the article I am not so sure that an undo was the best action, but perhaps there is something I missed. I prefered to tag it with wikify since like you said the text was completely arranged wrong... and I was considering editing it myself. Is there any chance you could clarify why it warranted an undo? %%-SYKKO-%% (talk to me) 03:57, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

thermodynamics history edits

If you want to find out why i gave removed the recent edits to the thermodynamics page follow this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:History_of_thermodynamics#history or just go the discussion page. The claims that were posted by jagged in certain in instances are simply not true and not backed up by his source and the rest of it has absolutely no relevance to the thermodynamics history, and neither do the sources he listed make that claim. Jagged has resolutely refused to back up his points, which of course he cant because they are baseless. If you want to justify the edits he makes put up some credible sources that link what his edits are to thermodynamics, instead of just undoing the changes. I welcome you debate the topic on the history of thermodynamics discussion page.Tomasz Prochownik (talk) 02:53, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


i know i have a terrible habit of not doing that, but this time i have posted some comments so hopefully that should be enough, if you have any objections to my edits am always open to discussion, am actually hoping i could get someone to help me clean up this history of thermodynamics page because there is a lot of stuff listed their that is utterly pointless, i.e. ideas on vacuums hopefully you can offer some helpTomasz Prochownik (talk) 03:01, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

I see a lot of vandalism on Wikipedia. Deletion of content should aways have some kind of explaination in the edit summary. The talk page isn't enough. I think the uw-delete1 template makes that quite clear. Eeekster (talk) 03:04, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

User talk:Ftse2007

The guy above has been removing stuff from UFC events for a long time now. Maybe he should just be blocked instead of warning him because he keeps removing every warning from his talk page.--WillC 01:05, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

If you feel he should be blocked, go report him on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Eeekster (talk) 01:07, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to do that, I was just telling you since I don't work on UFC stuff and ever since I got blocked for no good reason I don't ask for people to be blocked.--WillC 01:09, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, if he continues to vandalize pages, I'll report him. So far he hasn't done enough to get blocked today. Eeekster (talk) 01:10, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

It looks like it to me from looking at his contributions and him removing stuff from UFC 87, UFC 88, UFC 89, and List of UFC events.--WillC 01:14, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but he's only had two warnings today. They won't block for that. Eeekster (talk) 01:15, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Well if you look at his talk page history he has had more than that. I believe he has had around 6 or 7 warning to quit. But I haven't read them all.--WillC 01:17, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. But for him to be blocked he has to be actively vandalizing at the time. So far he appears to have quit for the day.

Yeah, I guess he got tired of messing stuff up.--WillC 01:21, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure he'll be back. Just remember to put the warnings on his talk page if you revert the damage. Even if he erases the warnings, the record will still be available. Eeekster (talk) 01:22, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Well I guess he returned to remove all the warnings. Also what is with the Neo-Nazi link? The screen shot of her desktop with the Nazi flags and soldiers in-front of the white house freaked me out.--WillC 05:01, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Better just to leave him alone because he is just going to keep removing the warnings.--WillC 21:07, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
He can remove the warnings all he wants. But if he continues to vandalize pages, I'll request a block. Eeekster (talk) 21:08, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
I haven't seen him do anything for a while. So I can't say nothing about that, but he should be blocked.--WillC 21:11, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Take a look at his user page. Eeekster (talk) 11:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

please stop harassing me over my edits to this article. it is a fact that the individual in question was/is obese. do some research before you go harassing people for making LEGIT edits. 207.229.178.77 (talk) 01:31, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Noting and reverting your vandalism is not harassment. Eeekster (talk) 01:32, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

This page contained irrelevant trivia, as many songs/movie pages. They're pointless and random. Klow (talk) 09:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment re user page warnings

I'm using MTW, and it automatically pops up the user's page to allow comments. There are situations where I don't comment, one being when the tool crashes. Another is when there are already warnings of various severity, and the problem I'm commenting on is minor. In situations where there are already a couple "this is your last warning" vandalism messages, it seems to dilute the earlier messages to say anything at all. The next step might be to ask to have the user blocked, but that seems problematic, if the editor really is trying to reform. To confess, there are pages such as Lenin where I'm making a simple comment on a recent edit -- not taking a philosophical stance. In not leaving a warning on the user page, it seems to send the right message -- i.e., I'm not partisan in the dispute. Piano non troppo (talk) 08:54, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Removing categories from Brainwave Synchronization

Hello, you reverted my edits here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brainwave_synchronization&diff=239160830&oldid=239160741 I was wondering what you thought was wrong with the categories. Did you really think that none of them belonged or did you just remove them all because you didn't feel like going through them? I'd like to know why you don't think it belongs. Thank you 71.174.111.211 (talk) 01:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, but...

In reference to the Chad Szeliga page, it wasn't really me making a test page so much as me adding another reference to add more credibility to the article. Seeing as that reference was a link to the official website of the band he is part of, it made sense to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.236.20.6 (talk) 16:07, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Eichhornia crassipes

Hello there, what you call "fixing the cits again" is removing info from said cit. As I don't know how to sort out the cits when they are presented as you do it, I'm afraid I must reverse your 'correction' so as to bring back what you have unattentionately removed. You can also note that your formating does not follow the same presentation of the cits as the rest of them as I've eventually given. If you are on about the form, maybe you'll care about applying the same to all of them. Without removing any more info.

Moreover, I have seen your politely (thanks for that) requiring that I leave titles to the changes I make. I say, just as politely: thank you, but no, thanks. This is my way of compensating for the abuse that I have regularly been subjected to when abiding by The Rules of what I've come to call wikiatollahs, who unlike you are not polite, but whose impoliteness is implicitly justified by everyone who is "too polite", or too whatever ('brainwashed' does come to mind), to impose rules of decency such as for example not contradicting each other when they criticize someone else, not checking when they do changes that they do not remove someone's work, not politely apologising (as I've just done) for doing so if it happens and so should you in this case except I really don't care, etc etc etc etc. Up to a moron saying that one should keep to correcting commas, just because mossieur feels offended that he be told to pay attention, definitely feels superior to most othes coz Mossieur has a phd in something or another, and is nevertheless incapable of finding the banner saying that he is working on major restructuring of an article. He also wanted the status of surveilant or whatever you call it, and THAT is the sort of person that you lot elect as surveillants. That particular thing was in the french wiki, but I've seen the same in here. No, I have respect neither for that sort, nor for the ones who elect that, nor for those who bow to it and keep wanting to act as if that disgusting attitude did not exist. All in all I've seen so much of it, here and in other wikis, that I demand the right to non-participative participation: it's a lot quicker altogether, for you to check which IP address is doing what, than for me to do what you ask every time I make a change and thus feel like I'm bowing to a dictatorial b***t in disguise.

Also, I profoundly disagree and be upset with the principle of wanting to put in first line the form of encyclopedia before the actual giving information. A notable example of this is the complete removal of valid information duly referenced, or even not duly referenced, on various grounds that are each and all typical of a blatant lack of respect. Any decent world gives respect for people's work before that of the form. So I think that any info removed should either be placed somewhere else, with a link provided to it; or put on the discussion page.

None of that is a rule on here. So let's not ask me to give respect when I see so much of it lacking on much more important points. In these circumstances it's amply good enough that I still respect the information side and am not putting in any rubbish. Now, if my work does not please you, I'll definitely stop any contribution and moreover start saying around that wiki is crap, because it will have demonstrated itself to be so.

For those who may be unthinkingly offended by the word 'wikiatollah', I invite them to move in the vicinity of one of them preachers of hate such as that abominable hooked guy who was spewing forth his sick hatred in north London until so recently; thanks life he's gone, but there are more like his sort all over the place. The same goes for christians, buddhists or whatever else, who do not give a fig that their presenting themselves as such and not doing anything about the abuses made in the name of what they prone, is actually equivalent to giving silent support to such abominable practices. May people present themselves and identify themselves as people, before they do so as christians, muslims, buddhists, or whatever other diminutive concept of the world. I most certainly will approve any other term that expresses the demeaning value of insisting on applying petty rules when the essential ones are not respected. So if the politically offended ones would react to that sort in priority before playing that stupid game of political correctness spreading like a plague all over us, we would all live in a better world - and if I did not find in here the same spirit as what supports that breed, I would happily come back to communication on a more positive basis.

Thank you for reading. No I won't come back. This wiki is NOT something I could be proud of - I'm just using it, that's all. signed, ex-avowed "user". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.138.218.251 (talk) 03:53, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

If you can't deal with relentless editing, this obviously isn't the venue for you. I'd go into details of why your edits had problems, but you "won't be back" and that means it'd be wasted effort. Eeekster (talk) 08:04, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Friendly note regarding talk page messages

Hello. As a recent editor to User talk:75.165.89.45, I wanted to leave a friendly reminder that as per WP:USER, editors may remove messages at will from their own talk pages. While we may prefer that comments be archived instead, policy does not prohibit users -including anonymous editors like this one- from deleting messages from their own talk pages. The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed (as per WP:BLANKING) are declined unblock requests (but only while blocks are still in effect), confirmed sockpuppet notices, or IP header templates (for unregistered editors). These exceptions only exist to keep a user from potentially gaming the system. Thanks, --Kralizec! (talk) 04:22, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


Question

Is it vandalism blanking the page of user talk: 75.80.84.179, since that was me who just forgot to sign in for the edits of KKBB, KLLY, and KUZZ.. Shouldn't be, since user talk: 75.80.84.179 is my page when I'm not signed in.. Just wanted to find out though... Now any blanking of the radio edits would be vandalism totally, which will never happen. If I see any vandalism of that sort of nature, could I report that person? By the way, couldn't find anything wrong with KBFP (AM) --JoeCool950 (talk) 08:53, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

RE : Reverting text

Please exercise more caution when reverting deletion of information, by running a simple read-through the text. In one instance, nonsensical information was restored back into the article. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 17:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

The removal of that "nonsensical information" was done without explaination (that I was able to see) and it wasn't obvious that the information wasn't good. Since no edit summary was provided for the removal, I had to assume bad faith. Eeekster (talk) 22:33, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Assume good faith. :) This is minor given that it is non-biographical. It would have been worse if it were to be a Biography of Living Person. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 02:48, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Do-gooder, Not

Hey, it looks like you’re one of these do-gooders (in your own opinion then) patrolling edits by IP usernames – much too fast, unthinking, reverting legitimate edits. Give it up, instead spend some time ADDING to Wikipedia. If not, I’ll start reporting you disruptive guys. 69.183.70.203 (talk) 04:27, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

You broke the link you claimed to have fixed and I reverted that break. And, yes, I did check the link before I reverted your edit. Eeekster (talk) 04:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
OK, so what's this and this all about? No, your M.O. is clear. As said, step back for a moment and start to think for a few seconds. Unfortunately, it seems there is a whole group of people like you, as if you are being paid per revert. The only way, it seems, to stop this pest is to start reporting it. 69.183.70.203 (talk) 04:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Nothing personal. And please sign your comments. 69.183.70.203 (talk) 04:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
It sure sounds personal and as for signing, my finger missed on ~. Now you claim I reverted a legitimate edit. But your edit made the link http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.htmlres=9D05E3DC1638F934A35754C0A963948260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all which does not work. The link before your edit worked just fine. So how was that edit "legitimate" and my edit that fixed the link (by putting it back) not? Eeekster (talk) 04:59, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
The finger did it! And what's the answer on my this and this question - don't say it's the finger again. Re. the editing of the link, let's take this step by step. #1: Does reference 7 (in its original and present form) in this article look like it is properly formatted, yes or no? 69.183.70.203 (talk) 05:11, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Embraer E-Jets. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 23:46, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm not knocking what you think... I can appreciate a well formatted uniform encyclopedia that sticks to guidelines. However, I would prefer that Wikipedia not be so much like this. I prefer an organic, imperfect Encyclopedia, that becomes what people make it, with not so strict guidelines. A body of knowledge that is all inclusive. I'm all for talking and resolving, but man, it takes a hell of a lot of time. Takes me less time to just go about throwing stuff like this out. Does the person's contribution really need an ugly label telling them how shitty their contribution is? If it's imperfect, so be it! Someone will see it and may improve it, without there needing to be a label. So I will continue to throw out labels, despite your putting them back in. I'm sorry I just disagree. I hope their are more of me to strike some balance to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XQPJ8i1yHQ --Campoftheamericas (talk) 06:36, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

List of Disney theatrical animated features: "maybe you should source your changes"

Source my changes? OK, what about this;

  • 19 The Jungle Book October 18, 1967
  • 19-20 Crazy Monster's Party! April 10, 1967 (premiere)
  • 20 The Aristocats December 24, 1970

I removed "Crazy Monster's Party!" from the list, and you put it back again because I could't "source my changes"? Learn your Disney before you start editing the list. 80.202.40.85 (talk) 23:44, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

No, what's not cool is continuing to blank pages after being told that is not how to handle the issue. And I did not make any kind of thread, I simply pointed out what would happen if you continued to blank pages. BTW, I agree that the article should go; I just do not agree with blanking the page and neither does policy. Eeekster (talk) 03:58, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

That CSD on Moana falls should be a redirect to Manoa Falls if it is just a misspelling. —Noah 03:28, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps, but all I saw was an article so badly written it didn't even say where on the planet the falls are. Eeekster (talk) 03:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Yep, there were definitely many issues with that article. However, at the risk of sounding preachy, please note that the CSD page says Before nominating an article for speedy deletion, consider whether it could be improved, reduced to a stub, merged or redirected elsewhere or be handled with some other action short of deletion. A lot of good can be done by saving articles even if they start out in very poor form. In this case a redirect has the nice effect of preventing the article from being recreated with the same misspelling <grin>. Cheers and happy new year, —Noah 03:55, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
It's hard to know it could be a redirect if you have no idea what the article is actually talking about. I'm still not even sure it's worth redirecting. Anyway, it's handled. Eeekster (talk) 03:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Notability of BAMCEF

Thanks for making me aware that I have not given the notability of BAMCEF in the article. It is one of the most prominant social organization in India. It is the think tank of Bahujan Samaj Party, the ruling party in the state of Uttar Pradesh. You can verify its notability by searchhing it on google. I do not have much information about this institution, but I knew it is well worthy to have place on wikipedia; so I have started the stub article as wikipedia did not have it.

Wrong tagging for speedy deletion

Hi Eeekster. Thank you for your work on patrolling pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I just wanted you to inform that I declined to delete Treća strana medalje, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion under criterion A7 because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to albums and other musical recordings. A9 does but it requires the artist not to have an article here. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion and especially what is considered Non-criteria. In future you should rather tag such pages for proposed deletion or file them at articles for deletion. Regards SoWhy 12:59, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, wasn't even clear that it was about an album at the time I placed the tag. Eeekster (talk) 13:00, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Actually, it was. Also, I just declined another one of your taggings, at Legends of Motorsport (band). Please be more careful with A7, it only applies when there is no indication or claim of notability at all. Regards SoWhy 13:20, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

That's the most obnoxious answer I've ever heard. There is no rationale behind the deletion, and the smug way in which you say that like you're the Gd of all Wikipedia is just revolting. There are plenty of other pages of companies of the same size that have not been deleted. There is no justification and you can continue to live in the farce that there is.

Hiya Eeekster, you have nominated the stub Jairos Jiri Association for speedy deletion. Quite plainly you are not Zimbabwean. This article was a requested one. Jairos Jiri himself was a philanthropist of huge stature in Zimbabwe: a man, who though poor and struggling against the strictures imposed on him by the white govt at the time, nevertheless establsihed centres helping the crippled, blind and otherwise handicapped people of zimbabwe: black people that is - born into cultures that reject the handicapped; often leaving them to die or fend for themselves as best they can. It would be great pity to delete this article, which is admittedly a stub of a piece at the mo' - I started it hop[ing that others more knowledgeable would expand it. nuff sed. Lgh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.217.59.229 (talk) 04:37, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Even a stub needs to at least assert notability. Otherwise it might be deleted. Eeekster (talk) 05:08, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Don't assert it here; assert notability in the article. Eeekster (talk) 10:17, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
you claim there is a speedy deletion signal above the article. Well to quote the imperialist Nelson: 'I see no signal'. Presumably this means the speedy deletion 'db' tag has been removed. I hope this means the notability criteria have now been satisfied. Please inform me if it were otherwise. PS love your 'stud needs to at least assert notability.' Lgh (talk) 10:32, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm not claiming anything. You started this discussion. Eeekster (talk) 10:33, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
here is your direct quote: "you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without" etc. Lgh (talk) 10:36, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Churchill Football Club From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I added the {{hasty}} tag to your db-a1 tag, which currently says "Give someone an hour before you speedy them for an incomplete article". After an hour, if the article is still a db-a1, someone will probably speedy it. When I have a basically good feeling about an incomplete article that needs to be deleted, I will often copy the contents to the editor's userpage and ask them to work on it in userspace until they think it's ready, and sometimes I give them a link to a wikiproject talk page so they can get specific advice. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 04:32, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Automatic patrolling of tagged pages at New Page patrol

Hi there. There is a suggestion to get a bot to patrol any New Page that an editor has tagged for CSD, AfD, etc. As someone who patrols a lot, your opinion is particularly welcomed. --GedUK  10:09, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Eekster. I removed your CSD tags from two articles (Tom Patton and the other) because it looks like they are legit, but the editor that created them seems to be having problems figuring out the infoboxes. Just a FYI. §FreeRangeFrog 00:03, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Someone should not be tagged as creating vandalism solely for not using an edit summary. They're not mandatory, all I ask is that you're more careful as that was a legit page.

AndreTT: Response to possible deletion of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Álamos_Golf

NOTE: This was my first contribution to Wikipedia, so be kind cause I'm still learning.
I'm going to improve this page by inserting relevant images of the golf course.
I'm also going to insert relevant linking to several pages on Wikipedia's related articles.

My plan is to contribute to Wikipedia with relevant information on all Golf Courses in Portugal.
All of them are going to have the same structure, based on:
- Description
- Main Information
- Details
- Technical Details
- Facilities
- Score Board
- External Links
They're going to interconnect between each other.
There are going to be main pages listing all the portuguese golf courses, like:
- Portugal Golf Courses
- Golf Clubs and Courses by Country
- Golf by Country
- etc..

I still don't know many things but you should give me time to learn.
Instead of applying this article to deletion you should help me on this, the information I have about Portugal Golf Courses is very useful to many golfers cause its a premium destination for them. Having no information in Wikipedia on Portugal Golf Courses is unforgivable.

Thanks for your attention,

Perhaps you should read the definition of vandalism, and consider contributing to wikipedia in a more productive fashion than subst'ing warnings on people's talk pages? When I have the time, I might try intergrating this users edits (NONE of which qualify as vandalism) into the article in a better fashion, but for now I have too much work to do - you, however, apparantly have plenty of spare time, and could spare some of it to properly copyedit and integrate this user's good-faith contributions.

Albums produced by Van Morrison

per your speedy deletion tag, I have uncounted, at least thirty or forty albums to add to this category. Why do the ones I am adding show up red linked? because of the speedy deletion tag? Agadant (talk) 13:51, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

The CSD tag wouldn't cause red links. You have something strange in your page that might do it though. Eeekster (talk) 13:57, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
What do you mean? The fact that the other editor deleted it? Can you help me with this?

Agadant (talk) 14:28, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

American Society of Muslims

I do not think it is either helpful or useful to place tags on articles immediately after they are created, when they are clearly in a process of construction. Checking the subject before adding speedy deletion tags might also be desirable. It creates unnecessary work and stress for editors who are creating new articles to have to deal with such instantly-appearing tags. Paul B (talk) 12:30, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

"Immediately after creation" is the nature of new page patrol work. Eeekster (talk) 12:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

It may be a conflict of interest, but the tag implies that the article's neutrality is compromised by the COI. "Priit Karm is an actor" is a simple statement. If I said "HJ Mitchell is a Wikipedia editor", for example, my lack of notability aside, would you put {{COI}} on that? Try using it for situation where someone is obviously not adhering to WP:NPOV and seems to have a vested interest. The page was speedied anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

AfD nomination of Accord floors

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

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

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

Carl Cameron

Hello, I fully intended to edit the Carl Cameron page, removing the "praise" paragraph from the criticism section.

My reasons for doing so are as follows:

1. Within a criticism section, the inclusion of this paragraph is out of place. If a section should be included for any praise Mr. Cameron has received, by all means that can be added, however within a section dedicated to claims of journalistic criticism and allegations of fraud, this paragraph feels tacked on by a PR department.

2. Other users within the discussion page have expressed misgivings about this paragraph. Because this paragraph is under debate as to whether it should be moved, or even included at all, I have taken it down.

3. The referencing for this section is, in my opinion, bellow the standards of wikipedia, this is also mentioned in the discussion section by other users. However, I am new to editing, therefore on this I could very easily be wrong.

I started editing with this page because, in my honest opinion, it felt like damage control was being done to it. In the past I have read wikipedia pages that were mishandled by PR efforts (EA's page comes to mind) and I find such activity highly destructive to the purpose of this great site. If you believe this paragraph should remain within the page, please respond. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.117.223 (talk) 19:17, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Marriage

Hello Eeekster,

I was not logged in when I made that edit to the Marriage article which you reverted. Upon first glance, the edit may appear to be vandalism (removal of an entire sentence from a paragraph). And you obviously had reason to be suspicious since that was coming from an anonymous user. But if you had read my edit summary more closely, you would have seen that I believe I had good reason to remove it. The sentence has little to do with that section of the article. It certainly might belong somewhere else in the article. It appears that Gorillasapiens (talk) intended something a little different when he added that sentence six weeks ago. But in both that form and in its current (and grammatically incorrect form) it does not appear to belong. Thanks. JBFrenchhorn (talk) 09:45, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

well

Eek, alright, I don't know why I haven't removed your contribution to my talk page. I still might.
let me address something for you. do you know what seniority is? do you value it? have you noticed that other people besides you, the creator of the article in question, and me have edited the article? do you understand what the words without merit mean? you trying to delete the article is very unnecessary. if you want to "watch" a page so closely or at all, why pick "pop culture" stuff?
back to what I am saying. you are wrong. notability is also a quite controversial debate. anyway, go ahead and find other articles to check up on. it isn't needed on this one. I intend to not let you continue with the deletion of it. it isn't a power trip either. I have been editing on Wikipedia probably longer than any six or so editors and administrators you may know.
additionally, maybe I am stirring up a pot here because encouraging you to go find other articles to "fix or delete" is probably counter productive. I am sure however, that if you try to do so you will be thwarted so no matter. again, I don't have a beef with you, just how you think. perhaps you could apply your knowledge in more appropriate ways. regards.

You cannot request speedy deletion of an article of one of the few very famous watchmaker and inventor, just because you know nothing about horology! You should rather help me and other knowledgeable people finalize an interesitng page. Postitive critic is in demand, from people like you better versed in developping articles on wikipedia!

Appreciating your revising your opinion and helpo and assistance as from now.

My entry on AMAC is not spam and not advertising

You admins are just not taking the time to figure out what the entry is about before hitting delete. You hit delete before I had a chance to even read and understand why my article was being flagged, let alone rewrite it or discuss it. You should have a way to moderate without deleting someone's work immediately after they hit save. That is just obnoxious. Nice way to make an impression on a new contributer.

Nihiltres, the original fast draw on the delete key, agreed that my article didn't meet the criteria it was flagged for, then apparently went in search of another reason instead of undeleting it or apologizing. It seems to me you can find a reason to delete just about anything in the criteria if you try. It's that ambiguous. Don't just assume I didn't read and don't understand. There is some chance it is you that did not read and does not understand.

So let me explain to you what I am trying to do.

I am trying to document that there is a group trying to compete with AARP calling itself more "conservative", because oh yeah, everyone knows AARP is a bunch of liberal commies. I want to show that it is being funded by the insurance industry, which I believe is the reason it is anti-healthcare reform, but I can't prove that without a lot of research that is not my job, I can't just come out and say it. What I CAN say that Medicare advantage is a sponsor of AMAC and Medicare advantage is the privatized part of medicare, which is significant, but I had to do it in a way that relied on facts and did not show my bias, so it is subtle. Because it is subtle, if you quickly scan it and hit delete, you will miss ALL of that. You will completely miss the point. Which is what you all did. The rest of the content is mostly just some additional information to fill out the picture of the group. I could care less who founded it or where it's headquartered, but it seemed like something that someone might want to know. It needed some WORDS. There is NOTHING in there that was promoting this organization in any way, and it did have a point. You just didn't get it.


The last thing I am trying to do is advertise for this group. I want to document it's existence and expose it for what it is - a front for the insurance industry. Since the reason it was flagged is not valid, please tell my what I should change to make it comply. Work WITH me instead of looking for a reason to delete. It would probably take less or your time AND mine. Allisoj1 (talk) 01:44, 9 September 2009 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Allisoj1 (talk • contribs) 01:41, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

David Mason (mason) Page

I don't know why you marked the page for deletion within 10 seconds of it being posted (therefore not enough time to have even looked at it, more or less made a opinion on it. David is a notable person, he clearly meets notable people for creative people numbers 1 and 3. Just because I have not entered a full accounting of his career yet, does not make it less so. I was going to talk to him personally tomorrow to verify the facts before I entered them incorrectly. I will admit the article might become barely longer than a Stub, but it should be allowed for now.Gloern (talk)

Okay I was right and it will not be deleted yet, and you are abusing that script program Twinkle. The reference you used for David Mason states "...The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source." Please refrain from misusing such a powerful tool.Gloern (talk) 04:28, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from personal attacks. My csd tag represented my opinion and it was not agreed with. Calling it misuse of twinkle is uncalled for. Besides, when I did the tagging the article was completely devoid of sources. So no notability was established. Eeekster (talk) 04:54, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Sorry if you took that as a personal attack, I will admit it was overly aggressive, but it was never meant to be offensive. As for the substance of your edit, the quote clearly states "credible claim of significance...even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source" which it had before any links were put in. Also you could not have had time to even read the article and form an opinion since there was about 20=30 seconds between me submitting it and you marking it (the amount of time I barely had to go to the page I was linking from to the new page enter the name of the new page and click on the new link to test that it worked). I could be wrong, but it would seem like that amount of time would imply you click on a list of new pages and without even looking at them, mark them for deletion based on how much is written, not on anything substantive which to me clearly would be a misuse of twinkle.Gloern (talk) 05:18, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

My first attempt at contributing to Wiki

I admit I was ignorant initially. I wrote what I thought was a good entry that had some issues I didn't anticipate.

I was smacked down as a spammer. I was not.

I still have a problem with that.

The process works WAY too fast to not just moderate questionable content, but DELETE it, almost immediately.

Sometimes when you live with a system too long, you take for granted things that are really not acceptable, just because you become used to it, maybe even like it.

Perhaps wiki needs some new blood.

I'm not saying anything.. I'm just saying.

Just delete everything then deal with the appeals. That will save time a little time for the admins. It's not as if the contributors are important or anything. That's my suggestion.

First of all, I apologize for the inconvenience caused, if any, under my efforts to add content into wikipedia for my client Dr. Haris Rashid. I would like to understand, though, why it is not appropriate to add Dr. Haris Rashid's page in wikipedia since he performed a specific type of surgery for the first time in a country's (Pakistan) history.

Just because we provide technology support service to a medical professional does not mean that we can not be objective or would invariably suffer from COI.

Notability template

With all due respect, but setting a "Notability"-template into an article is not a minor edit! --Dingo (talk) 02:26, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Is too! (It doesn't change the content) Eeekster (talk) 02:27, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Ah, re-reading the help page says you are right. I shall change my habits (it's easy not to mark them minor anyway) Eeekster (talk) 02:48, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
IMHO, a Minor edit is an edit I can safely ignore - eg. if I misspelled you "Eakstar" and somebody did correct it. I don't have to visit the article if I see an "M".
Notability warning does not change the content, granted, but I sure as hell should get my butt to the article to provide proof of notability, or there may be no article the next time I look. That's my scan why I prefer it not to be marked "minor".

Ashlie Atkinson

While I fully accept the good faith with which you tagged the article 1 minute after the first sentence was put in main space [6], and yes, the author caught that and set a "hangon" on it 2 minutes later [7], and yes I understand how you replaced the Speedy tag 7 minutes later when he removed it from an article he created himself... Well... here's my question... Notability for this person was asserted and sourced withing the next few minutes. [8]... and a more finished version now exists. With the greatest of respects, don't you think your 60-second speedy was a tag premature? I did a search nyself for her name and immediately had articles popping up about her awards and nominations and reviews. Within an hour the article showed itself to be suitable for Wikipedia. Might not a encouraging word on the author's page might have sufficed instead? Specially since he was online and editing seconds before you tagged it? Just askin. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 07:49, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

New page patrol doesn't allow for coming back later. How would I know what the editor plans to do? The article at the time I tagged it, in my opinion, met the speedy criterion. I'm not in the business of reading minds. Asserting notability later does not excuse the original author removing the tag—that's the policy and I didn't make it up. I suggest spending some time on new page patrol before criticizing others. You'll see a lot of used food and make a few mistakes. Then you'll get criticism for your hard work. Eeekster (talk) 09:06, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Sheesh! I just looked at the article. Why are you defending someone that created a one sentence article? Then you criticize me for the uw-speedy—I looked at that too. The article was still really bad at that point. I spend hours doing this work; I don't appreciate being attacked for it. Eeekster (talk) 09:10, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Relax Eeekster. He was just askin. I also removed the tag from Stussy but that is a discussion for up above.Cptnono (talk) 09:18, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
As the the author himself apologized above for his inadvertant removal of the tag, my question was in no way an attack of your good work. I simply thought to ask the question, as the editor was online and editing the article when you tagged it. Certainly the author might have put an under-constructon or in-use tag on his article as he worked. Please accept my sincere apology if you felt my question was somehow a criticsm.

Also The Bestinvestor page has obviously been deleted too. I was under the impression that as a publication available to the public they may try to find out more about it as it.

Hi Eeekster. Thanks for pointing out the lack of material in the article I created. The reason why I created this article is to get ready for the up-and-coming Asean Basketball League, which will tip off in October. Apparently, this club has exist for quite some time, playing in the Indonesian League, and was even national champions many times, but the English community doesn't have a page for it, though there is an Indonesian version of it. I do hope that, with their entry to the ABL, the B-ball lovers of both the Indonesian and English community can combine their effort and cover this team better.Frankie goh (talk) 05:06, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

The N-word?

I agree that it is very important, which is one reason it has its own WP article which few other words do. However do you really think that of all the USA and African people related articles it is in the group of the very highest importance? If someone asked you what are the most important articles to read to understand the history and culture of the United States, or the history and culture of African people outside of Africa, would you suggest this as one of the most important? If so no problem, but I think there are other topics that are far more important, not that this one in unimportant. It's important but I would still vote for Mid importance not High importance.

Problematic user

It's been my experience that if you report somebody at AIV without a full complement of warnings, your report will get deleted with nothing done. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 21:13, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Sometimes that happens. But 90% of the time a vandalism only account report gets an indefinite block in my experience. For the other 5% you can then take it to incidents. Eeekster (talk) 07:10, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, saw the AFD, and note the comment - as far as I've always known, AFD does not preclude speedy where warranted - and given it's all of one line and no ghits relevant, A7 seems related.

Ok, I remember a bit wrong. But "rm code" doesn't say anything useful. And even so the reaction was way overboard. Eeekster (talk) 05:04, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
So rollback is the appropriate tool to use? You do know that's only to be used for vandalism, right? Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 05:06, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I considered the removal of content to be vandalism. That's why I rolled it back. Eeekster (talk) 05:09, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Please review WP:VAND and identify what criteria of vandalism these two edits fall under. I consider the first edit to not be vandalism - Reversion or removal of unencyclopedic material. How is the second edit (Pubic hair) vandalism at all (remember you used rollback). Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 05:17, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Steven, why are you pressing Eeekster? He has already stated that he thought the edits were vandalism. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time and Eeekster is a very helpful Newpages patroller. I see no reason to hound him over a mistake or ask rhetorical questions. <>Multi-Xfer<> (talk) 05:48, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Golden Buddha (Bangkok)

I agree that ideally all the articles should have references, but I just wanted that there was a reference to this landmark of Bangkok that was missing from the English Wikipedia. When I found the Spanish and French articles, I decided to translate them. I guessed it didn't do much sense to put those articles in the references, namely because they haven't any reference. I included the "unreferenced" template to make clear that the article needs to be improved. --Stegop (talk) 01:37, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashford.com

Please discuss why this should be deleted, or not. Bearian (talk) 19:26, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Eeekster

I need help to get my deletion notice removed from ==Speedy deletion nomination of Matt White (minor pro hockey)==

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Matt White (minor pro hockey) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Nikdak 20 (talk) 02:40, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Can you please help me.

He isn't notable. That's why I placed the tag and that's why the article was deleted before. See WP:NN for more information. Eeekster (talk) 02:42, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Pardon me

But, for all the millions of stubs out there that could have been scrutinized by your "un-cited nazi" craze, you happened to pick mine. The information contained in the article you cited, Waconda Lake, is of a general nature of geography. I created the article to provide a basis to which expand on and to remove redlinks from a template that I am helping to improve. My point is, however, that its pointless to go around and try to get sources for this kind of information on any and every tiny little three-sentence stub around. WaltBren (talk) 02:51, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Deletion review for Rood & Riddle

I am not sure why this article was deleted. You seem to quote that it was advertising, however, I fail to see this being any more advertising than putting up an article about any one of thousands of commercial enterprises. This article was written about Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital. Rood and Riddle has been one of the most respected and most recognized private equine hospitals in the entire world. They see paitents from all over the world on a regular basis soley because of their status. This was a very important stub article, that was in the process of being expended. It is referenced many times in wiki articles and I took a lot of time cross referencing those articles to point to the Rood & Riddle article to further explain what "Rood & Riddle" is when mentioned in these other articles. The Rood and Riddle article contained no advertising, gave a brief history of the facility, important capabilities of the facility and I was working with the owners of Rood & Riddle to expand the article with important milestones and a more complete history of the facility and the farm where it is housed, which has it's own colorful history. Your deletion of this article goes against everything that Wiki stands for and is a great disservice to the Wiki Nation because instead of improving the service, it sets it back considerably. I request that this article be restored so that this work can continue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coolrascal (talk • contribs) 05:41, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

CSD of Twilight tree

I removed the CSD you placed from Twilight tree and replaced it with a PROD. Note that hoaxes are generally not speedy deletion candidates. It is usually not enough for just one or two editors to investigate a hoax, as there have been cases in the past where something has been thought to have been a hoax by several editors, but has turned out to be true, and merely obscure. Suspected hoaxes should be investigated thoroughly, and only in extreme cases of blatant and obvious hoaxes should articles be tagged for speedy deletion. It is plausible that this is a Special Relativity thoery and that someone without expertise in that area would not be able to tell this was a real theory or a hoax Rather than one where no one (except maybe the creator) would have any doubt whatsoever. If you feel this is in error please feel free to let me know. Kindly Calmer Waters 07:32, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

I did major in physics and have never heard of it. Google hasn't heard of it either. So, in my judgment, it's a hoax. If not a hoax, why no sources? Eeekster (talk) 08:26, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
It very well could be a hoax, or it could be that he/she applied the incorrect term to the article. Maybe he/she haves parts of two theories confused together. Maybe the user is bad at putting references in articles right away. Maybe it is a hoax. I don't know. If it is a blatant or obvious hoax it all comes down to IMHO, if most or all of the people who would read this article would have any doubt that this is false. If not it should not be a CSD #G3, but rather a PROD deletion candidate. This is nothing against your judgement or field of expertise; however, I once had to go to the 127th page on google to find a reliable source do its low search engine ranking. Not that I would want to do that in this case :-) Calmer Waters 09:39, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
But if it isn't a hoax, the author will be able to supply a source without us going to the 127th Google page. Eeekster (talk) 09:41, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Understood but a PROD gives him the chance. A CSD doesn't. Maybe its out of a book like the possible word of word dication of his later article. Maybe its a fringe thoery worthy of deletion and maybe its not a hoax. He also appears to be fairly new by the repeated attempts to place a cited reference. I'm just AGF. It very well might be a hoax. However; its not the "The world is going to end in 2012" article that is fair to say most everyone who would read it would not consider it to be true. Is it so blatantly false and inconcievable that its existance even in the shortest amount of time is harmful to either the reader, subject, or Wikipedia to constitute all out vandalism and CSD G3? I don't think it is a great atricle as it stands probuly will end up being deleted (as it should if no sources or added) but feel it falls short of the critria for CSD. Kindly Calmer Waters 10:06, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
No hard feeling thru :) If you feel strongly about it, feel free to retag it for CSD. I won't revert or undo. Believe in collaberation and just wanted to give you my rational. Cheers Calmer Waters 10:50, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: The Working Hour, but article may not pass WP:AfD

Eeekster, your original request for speedy deletion for The Working Hour was a good one, but the article's creator has subsequently added enough material so that it now makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7 of criteria for speedy deletion. I am not, however, convinced that the article is notable under WP:Notability (music), but that will have to be worked out in the WP:Articles for deletion page, if necessary.

earthmine

Hi Eeekster,

I added some more citations to the earthmine article to try to show notability. I'm fairly new, so I'd appreciate some feedback on reliability of sources. Should I be looking primarily for sources in print? Seems like tech companies are primarily covered in online sources. I found a good broadvast tv news segment, but its currently only archived on youtube, is that citable? Thanks, -mprados

PS Ok, youtube seems like a poor way to research a broadcast video source. I've now got two mentions in nationally distributed magazines, a government research publication, and prominent online sources such as Wired, CNET, and O'Reilly Radar. Let me know if you have any feedbackMprados (talk) 04:17, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

About my alleged "disruptive edit"

You mind telling me what exactly I disrupted on that article? Akll I remember doing is changing the genre of that song to hard rock. Every other single from the album was changed to Nu Metal when I made the edit to that song as well as "Prayer" and "Remember", I thought I was doing a good thing. Because from what I hear, there's not a trace of Nu Metal on that album nor any other Disturbed album other than The Sickness. If you truly believe that there's Nu Metal on that album, you're sadly mistaken my friend. --Madroxxide17 (talk) 00:20, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Showtek article

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from [[{{{1}}}]], which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!


this article has been proposed for deletion on the basis that the duo lack notability however they recently won:

Best Dj and Best Track for 2008 at the UK Hard Dance Awards

have been the headline at many of the premier music events in the genre of music including and not limited to:

Xqlusive, BLACK, Defqon 1., Qlimax,

the are touring artists with solid fan bases in Australia, Europe and Northern America.

At a Rave (concert) they can draw thousands of people.

At the moment i cannot find the exact reference but i remember them playing on BBC radio to millions of listeners.

on this basis the article should be kept and references expanded upon.

I dont have a lot of time right now to gather an extensive list of references, but i believe that Showteks 2008 album did very in the UK charts and deserves investigation as well.

Dear User:Eeekster, Thank you for your diligence and WP:BOLDness. :)--Thecurran (talk) 23:34, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Nemacyst

Please review WP:RCAT and then explain how you consider my edit to be vandalism. Nematocyst redirects to Cnidocyte, and the lead paragraph of that article contains the word 'nematocyst in bold. I believe the redirect for spelling (see my edit summary) was entirely appropriate. 152.16.59.102 (talk) 03:14, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

It's an article about a band. How does your redirect make any sense at all? Eeekster (talk) 03:15, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
The original topic of the article makes no difference. Someone attempting to look up "Nematocyst" could mis-remember the word and type "Nemacyst". It would be helpful if Wikipedia automatically redirected them to the appropriate article Cnidocyte. 152.16.59.102 (talk) 03:21, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Then please wait for the speedy to finish. It it doesn't get delete, then you'll need to do a disambiguation page. Just redirecting an existing article to something so completely different is a bad idea. Eeekster (talk) 03:23, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Not a problem. Just please don't be so quick with the warning template if the edit summary seems to indicate a good-faith reason for an edit. I was shocked to get a warning template for something that seemed so appropriate. Thank you, and Happy Editing! 152.16.59.102 (talk) 03:26, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion Converted to PROD: MYPLASH Visa Prepaid Cards

Hello Eeekster, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have changed a page you tagged (MYPLASH Visa Prepaid Cards) from being tagged for speedy deletion to being tagged for proposed deletion. The speedy deletion criteria are very narrow to protect the encyclopedia, and do not fit the page in question. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Thanks again! NW (Talk) 23:52, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello Eekster...I wrote this to QueenFisher as well.

I thought I got it but I was sadly mistaken, too funny. Regardless, I am writing about a business and have a few questions if you could help me out. I understand the "circling" of Wiki pages already created i.e. bands, athletes, etc. but I'm wondering why I can't post the current list of signed licenses and reference them without an opinion to their current Wiki pages. Also, you deleted the whole page of content...are you able to review it first and let me know if any of it can be used? I wanted to post fees as there is a section about the company that is a false representation even stating that we are with MasterCard which is a direct violation of our contractual agreement and its written as an opinion. Simple Plan Does that make sense at all? =) I will rewrite the content and keep it more simple and in an encyclopedic format so to speak. I may reference you a bit if you don't mind as I do want to get this right. Thank you for your guidance, I really appreciate it. I will get a handle on this quickly. Everette M.

Hi - I'm just wondering why you put a tag on AJGKIS's talk page that refers to 'changing facts and figures', when the poor beggar had only made one edit - creating the article? It's possibly an automatic thing, which is why I do everything manually. Anna Lincoln and I have sorted some of the problems out, but we've not seen anything more of the creator.

About my alleged "disruptive edit" 2

Since you either eluded or missed the first time I asked my question, I feel I should ask it again to get your attention.

Now, you give me "last warning" for allegedly vandalizing the article, Liberate (song) for changing the genre from Nu metal to Hard rock. How is that vandalizing? I thought I was doing a good thing because the other two singles from the Believe article (Prayer and Remember) had been labeled "Nu metal" for their genres. If you ask me, THAT is vandalism because the only genres on that album are Alt. metal and Hard rock but you obviously believe otherwise and if you feel like debating that matter, then go debate in the article's discussion page because I'm sure other users will agree with me on that subject.

Anyways, I feel that you giving me a warning for my edit wasn't a good call because what you think the song's genre should be is a matter of opinion and not fact. --Madroxxide17 (talk) 18:29, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Blanking of articles

Regarding this edit [10] normally only attack pages are blanked as part of the speedy deletion nom. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:48, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea how it got blanked. Perhaps a twinkle bug? Eeekster (talk) 00:49, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
Huh. Maybe it was Twinkle, that's weird. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:51, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
The servers have been really slow in the last hour. That might have done something too. Eeekster (talk) 00:54, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
Twinkle does sometimes completely replace the article with the sd-tag. I've seen it happen before. I don't use it myself, so I can't comment further. HalfShadow 00:55, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Severity of the warning to User:333x6=1998

Greetings! I see you gave a {{uw-create3}} warning to 333x6=1998 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) early this morning. Could you take a look at my comment and consider whether the warning should be removed or softened a bit? Since this user is getting better, and since the attempt to create List of States in USA. was constructive and in good faith, a level 3 warning seems a little BITE-y. What I really don't want to happen is for him to create another borderline article and get blocked because of the warning. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 15:15, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Suggestions for better contributions

Hi I browsed your contribution list and noticed that you have not really contributed to the content of Wikipedia. And you have used speedy delete tag on many valuable articles. I'd like to encourage your to take part in developing content for Wikipedia and use the speedy deletion request more conservatively. If you are new to Wikipedia I'll be more than happy to mentor you in order to bring you up to speed. --Max Allen G (talk) 00:10, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I have added a number of links in the talk section for you. Please read them and if you have any questions please let me know. You keep reverting to a version that has a number of typos. If you want to place a tag please place your tag on the final version and please avoid reverting it to the version that has been improved. You are wasting my efforts on that page. TEDx is a free event. There was no intention to make it sound advertising if you feel that it sounds advertising please consider making it neutral. Placing a speedy delete ticket will not help anyone one here.--Max Allen G (talk) 21:41, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

In the interest of helping everyone out, I'd like to encourage both of you to assume good faith and hope that both of you were doing what you think was best for Wikipedia. That being said, if you can't come to some kind of agreement perhaps I can step in as a neutral third party to help merge the contributions both of you have made. I don't like to see two parties in disagreement, but unfortunately neither of you have linked the article(s) in question so I can't do much more than encourage both of you to relax for just a moment and try to settle your debate in a calm manner. Happy editing :) --Mpdelbuono (talk) 21:45, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Reference WP:Youtube for details on this. Do you have any other links that might be better evidence? If you could tell me which article this is referring to, I think we could come to some sort of agreement here. I have posted some comments in the AfD page for the article as well as the article's talk page, and I think that is the appropriate location to continue this discussion. --Mpdelbuono (talk) 22:47, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Hail to the Buff and Blue Speedy Delete CopyVio allegation

For the moment, I've removed the lyrics of the modern version of HtB&B. However, it seems common, for similar pages focused on other university's fight songs and alma maters to include the lyrics of the songs in question. Examples include:

Those are all from the first page of search results. I'm sure there are others, but I'm tired of opening links. It may be that almost every alma mater/fight song page on wikipedia is a copyvio, I don't know and I can't find any mention on any of the above articles' talk pages of copyvio.

Actually, my edit was constructive. What I wrote was true. That conception of democracy doesn't exist anywhere in the world, so it seems kind of irrelevant. Either an acknowledgment of this fact, or a deletion of that sentence is called for. 70.116.76.173 (talk) 18:21, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

User:Widavies

It seems he is trying to create articles for everyone on a list he has created: List of international rugby union players killed in action during the First World War. If properly sourced, I guess the "international RU player" bit would satisfy WP:ATHLETE. Another user has raised it at WP:ANI#Multiple articles regarding soldiers lost in WWI. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:56, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps they would satisfy WP:ATHLETE, but I have only seen one that was sourced at all and that source was only about being a rugby player. I susepect he's copying from a hardcopy book, but can't be sure of course. Eeekster (talk)
At least two were copyvio from regimental history websites. I have warned him about copyvio and he seems to have stopped - perhaps he will come back and discuss. I don't think it's a case for a block unless he resumes without mending his ways. JohnCD (talk) 11:11, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Ah, you don't know he's already been blocked? Eeekster (talk) 11:14, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I think that was maybe a bit unnecessary, since he had stopped; but Black Kite has left him a note about how to get unblocked if he wants to do them properly without copyvios. JohnCD (talk) 13:02, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

The purpose of my page is purely encyclopedic, can you please try to state the reason why you tagged it as advert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shield349 (talk • contribs) 03:19, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I tagged it as an advert because it looks like one. Why else would I do so? Eeekster (talk) 03:25, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

That's not a very good argument.

It's a statement not an argument. Eeekster (talk) 03:30, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Kristallnacht (band)

Hello Eeekster, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Kristallnacht (band) - a page you tagged - because: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. JohnCD (talk) 12:55, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

  • Forgive the rather curt note above - it's produced by a script. Having read the author's talk page comment, I think this is good enough to pass A7, but PROD or AfD if you like. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 12:58, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Looks like there were quite a few edits after I tagged it too. Eeekster (talk) 21:51, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


Can't Stop The Music

First off, don't accuse me of "blanking out" pages! All I did was remove off topic rambling, and irrelevant information from the page. (75.69.241.91 (talk) 04:55, 8 December 2009 (UTC))

You removed content. You did not give a reason for removing it. If it was "off topic rambling, and irrelevant," you should say so. Otherwise your actions are just seen as abuse. At this point you need to take to the article's talk page and get a consensus. Other editors are not agree with your edits. Eeekster (talk) 04:56, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I did say so. Did you read it? The only "warring" i did was one revert-that was it. The article is rambling, off topic and poorly written. I do not appreciate your assuming bad faith on my part, and threatening me with being blocked. Do you really think you are using your recently given privileges fairly? You have a point about concencus, but otherwise you are accusatory towards me. (75.69.241.91 (talk) 05:02, 8 December 2009 (UTC))

As I said, take it to the articles talk page and get a consensus. There's no point in continuing to complain here. Eeekster (talk) 05:04, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't complaining, I was pointing out that you came out accusing me of vandalism. Do you see any proof of that in my history? You also inferred that I would be blocked. Was the other party involved given the same treatment? (75.69.241.91 (talk) 05:07, 8 December 2009 (UTC))

Courtesy notice

FYI - an IP just posted a note here  7  05:48, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

That article is about me. My friend made it as a joke I can do whatever I want to it until it's deleted. How can you not tell that's a fake page to begin with? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.137.136.23 (talk) 16:40, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Cheers

Hey, thanks for the warm welcome.

I'm pretty sure my page meets the guidelines, I've just updated the talkpage with the relevant references, but it's a bit hard to get info on them since it appears that their record label has since disappeared (their website turns up blank) and the radio station that played their music the most has also since died.

Could you check to see if I have enough info there, and if you think it's still ok as an article? , like Slim (New Zealand band),

re:December 2009

I am still editing the pages that i've just created, and i am citing sources in the newer editions. If u check my record, I have created and edited quite a number of pages since 2005. I am not a new comer, so there no need to "welcome" me in my user page and remind me that I need to cite sources. I will do it steps by steps in creating a new page.

Pls check out others' contribution record before "welcoming" them to wikipedia, lest you should offend the others. Thank you.

Salt (talk) 05:22, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

I did look at your record and saw that you should know better. So please include sources! Eeekster (talk) 05:23, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Haha...you are so funny. If you had looked at my record, you should know all the articles created by me are well sourced. I don't know where you got the impression that I created unsourced articles. It is a serious offence for a real Wikipedian. So please make very sure before making such comments to other users.
In addition, it is a convention in Wikipedia that you should reply other users' message in his/her talk page, but not yours, so that he/she can take notice of your reply, unless you make a very clear message in your talk page beforehand. It is a kind of courtesy in Wikipedia. It seems if I do have something to learn about Wikipedia, probably you will have even more to catch up with.
Salt (talk) 06:50, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Your record isn't relevant (ok, it's relevant in that you should know better than to create unsourced artcles). You did not include a single source in several articles. That makes extra work for other editors. Now you are taking up my time complaining that you were notified of that lapse. Just include sources, as you know you should, and you won't get warnings. Don't include them and you'll get warned; continue and you'll be facing a block. Them's the rules. Complaining to me isn't going to change anything. And, oh yeah, "it is a convention in Wikipedia that you should reply other users' message" isn't true. There is no such convention. If you want to read my replies, it is up to you to come here and read them. Now please stop wasting my time. Eeekster (talk) 08:25, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Layout of user warning

Hi, Eeekster. Re this edit, I recently started using that kind of layout (although I got the heading wrong) because of WP:UW#Layout. I prefer the single-level myself, but I'm not very active with user warnings so thought I was behind a recent change. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:07, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

The big problem is the tools (such as Twinkle) don't recognive the multilevel headers. So it works out better to stay with the single level to avoid making a mess. Eeekster (talk) 22:35, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. I've made a change to WP:UW#Layout to reflect that. -- JHunterJ (talk) 23:13, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Looks good and reflects current practice. Eeekster (talk) 23:16, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Swasey

Hi,

You added a 'This page may be in need of a clean up' banner to the page for the surname Swasey I recently created, could you please tell me why?

I listed my source and added a reasonably detailed description of the variations of how the surname is spelled and where it has been recorded.

Dudley25 (talk) 03:18, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Simply put: I added that tag because it needs cleaning up. Please see WP:MOS. Eeekster (talk) 03:19, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Without being rude could I ask you how it needs cleaning up?

dePRODing of articles

Hello Eeekster, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD templates you added to a number of articles were removed:

  • PROD removed from Salvatore Rampone, by User:Nuttyprofessor2, with summary '(Deletion proposal removed. Reason: well known scientist/bodybuilder. Details added.)'
  • PROD removed from Valvan Dam, by User:Skarebo, with summary '(Reverted to revision 316114899 by Ak2431989; blanked it is…. using TW)'

Please consider discussing your concerns with the relevant users before pursuing deletion further. If you still think the articles should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may send them to WP:AfD for community discussion.

Taliban (screenplay)

If in fact it can be verified though WP:RS that a screenplay predicting something close to the September 11 attacks was written and deposited with the library of Congress months earlier, that might be notable. And questions of notability (outside the narrow limits of A7) are decided at AfD not by speedy. This isn't a blatant ad. It may not be notable, but that can't be determined without checking for sources. DES (talk) 04:54, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I see it as nothing but an attempt to sell their screenplay. Eeekster (talk) 04:55, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

What do you think "Under construction - checkpoint save" might mean? To use your tone of language, your lack of reply to my question "Must mean you can't bother" to think before you type. Is it necessary for me to explain to you in detail what it might mean?
Ever heard of WP:AGF? If so, then I suggest you AGF. If not, then I suggest you read WP:AGF BEFORE replying.
Also before replying, you may wish to follow the progress of the development of the articles, starting at List of Rhodes Scholars/Complete List.
"Is that so hard?" - As a matter of fact, when you are splitting a large page, Yes, it is "so hard". I'm afraid I can only do one thing at a time, and large pages are slow and tedious to edit, which makes the process slower and more tedious.
In future, please think before you act. Pdfpdf (talk) 06:07, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

UMS

While reviewing/editing an article on shipping, I came across the term UMS and found that in other disiplines it has other meanings. I added it to the list of UMS applications but did not write any further article. A UMS Certificate is a very important document determining the manning levels of modern ships. It is issued either by the state flag survey office or the Classification Society, probably the latter.

As a Marine Engineer, I can confirm that "UMS" is a term in daily use in the shipping industry. It should be inclued in the list of possible/alternative meanings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fenitharbour (talk • contribs) 16:00, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I copied and pasted from another article on the Wikipedia[12]. It wasn't immediately clear to me that it was a copyright violation. Additionally, the lead-in was 100% my own work, making it an invalid target for speedy deletion. Scrapping an entire article when it is perfectly salvageable is unproductive and actually against WP:CSD G12. In the future, I'll take more care to make sure to avoid violating copyright and hope that you'll take more care to prune articles of copyright violation, rather simply marking them for G12.

Hi, I am wondering why it's placed for deletion? The song exists, it exits as a single and there is video proof of it.

I'll keep my eyes open. Was a bit puzzled when none of the sources checked out. Eeekster (talk) 00:28, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Actually apart from the style of the prose, which, once you have seen a few examples being glaringly obvious once you have seen a few examples, other giveaways are the IMDb links that point to either the original film or a totally different film and the habit of overwriting links in other articles - actor articles, generally - to add the hoax. (He seems to copy-and-paste from the original articles) He used to be big into horror film franchise reboots, but 3D films are a big thing for him now. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 00:42, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Eeekster. You tagged this article for speedy deletion at approximately the same time that I renamed it, so the redirect got tagged and I received the message. The tag has been removed from the redirect by an admin. The reason I didn't nominate the article for deletion is that the website has a fair number of hits on Google News.

After looking through the news and web search hits I've had second thoughts and PRODed the article.

Speedy Deletion of Sins of my Father (film)

This page has been deleted due to the possible copyright infringement. However, the text on the Wiki page was the official synopsis that is listed from the filmmakers themselves. It looks like the publication you referenced for infringement just copied this information themselves as a description of the film. The description is also what is used on the official Sundance Film Festival website and, as such, should be allowed as the description of the film for the Wiki page. It is the official description put forth for press use. Pharaway (talk) 17:23, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

German Band

Hey Eeekster, I had just tried to make my first page yesterday. But when I looked back today I saw that it was deleted. First of all I know the name was wrong, but when I called it Callejon, the text was black instead of red. So I placed a pipe for the time being until I could have fixed the problem. Also I did have a reference but when I tried to place it, I kept getting errors. And as of 5 minutes ago I looked on the German Wikipedia and found the band. Would I be allowed to try and translate that and make an article on the English Wikipedia. Thank you for your time and hope my first article goes well. Lothp (talk) 02:49, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Blanking Talk Page

I was talking to this user in person about the large amount of random useless talk on the talk page. He didn't care that I deleted it. He doesn't know much about wiki markup. I am working on a project with him. I understand people are just trying to be friendly, but the clutter on mine and his talk page was making it hard to read. It wasn't vandalism. Vandalism would be clearing without consent. Please don't make accusations without being informed. Salamakajakawaka (talk) 03:23, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

If you had consent, you should have noted so in the edit summary and you story doesn't fit the edit history of that page. The only thing ever on it was a standard welcome template. Looks like vandalism to me. Eeekster (talk) 03:26, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
The "standard welcome template" is basically a spam welcome edit. It takes up about two pages worth of text. Second off, if all I erased was a welcome template, how would that be vandalism? I think you are mistaking editing someone else's page for vandalism. Let me refresh your memory.

Often, Wikipedians make sweeping changes to pages in order to improve them — most of us aim to be bold when updating articles. While it can certainly be frustrating to have large chunks of your text removed or substantially rewritten, edits that noticeably alter the text or content of a page should not be immediately labeled as vandalism.

Adding insults, profanity, etc. to user pages or user talk pages (see also Wikipedia:No personal attacks). This is the only user page vandalism listed.

Also, Wikipedia English says "Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. Vandalism cannot and will not be tolerated. Common types of vandalism are the addition of obscenities or crude humor, page blanking, and the insertion of nonsense into articles."

How would my edit be vandalism if the message was long and made talking on a talk page difficult? I believe that would be improving a page. By the way, my story does fit. If you will look at my recent edit page you will see that I am working on a project with that account user. If you are going to make a claim please support it with facts and don't try to make my life more difficult by making false accusations. Thanks.

Tagging of American Immigration Council

I notice that you tagged American Immigration Council for speedy under G11 (promotional) although CorenSearchBot listed it as a copyvio. In such cases you can use {{db-multiple}} to indicate that several reasons for speedy deletion all apply. in particular this was aimed at the combination of promotional and copyvio which often occurs when marketing types reuse a corporate website's text. Use of db-multiple can help indicate that simply cleaning up the copyright issues is not enough, and perhaps avoid wasting people's time with recreations that are also speedy deleted.

Speedy deletion tagging of Ollie richards

Hi there, I removed your tagging of Ollie richards for speedy deletion. The Article claims that he has represented a professional rugby union club. Whether that is strictly true and meets WP:ATH I don't yet know, but a google search suggests it might be true, so the article's claim to notability is at least credible, per A7. --Mkativerata (talk) 21:44, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I see no claim that he plays professionally. Eeekster (talk) 21:45, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
It is likely that he hasn't, but I think a claim that "X has played for a professional rugby union club" is sufficient for the A7 bar and in this case it is technically true and supportable by reliable sources. However until I find anything that suggests he played for the club in anything other than sevens tournaments and reserve matches, I'll be the first to !vote delete at an AfD. --Mkativerata (talk) 22:00, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
The word "professional" wasn't in the version I tagged. Eeekster (talk) 22:01, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
We shouldn't require articles to mention "professional" as a keyword to get over the A7 bar. Saying that someone has played for x club, when x club is clearly professional, should suffice. In any case, I have now prodded the article; while I think it meets A7, I think we will both agree that it doesn't objectively meet WP:ATH or WP:GNG. --Mkativerata (talk) 22:05, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
I don't see "club" as meaning professional. There are lots of clubs that are just neighborhood groups. Eeekster (talk) 22:37, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
But in this case the club was specifically identified in the article, and the club's article page states it is a top-level English rugby union club. If a new article on Tom Brady (assuming there wasn't one already) stated "Tom Brady plays for the New England Patriots, that would be a credible claim to notability. No difference here. --Mkativerata (talk) 22:40, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Whatever. I'm done with this. Eeekster (talk) 22:46, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Replacing CSD templates

Hey dude. I see you're also trying to stamp out this Glabber rubbish :) Just FYI, in case you didn't know, when you replace a CSD tag that the author has removed, it's better not to use Twinkle to do it because it adds extra notifications around the place.

French Flower class corvettes

You put an "unreferenced" tag on this page, less than 20 minutes into its construction. I put the "underconstruction" tag there to let people know it was unfinished; did you not see it? The reason why it's annoying is that bunging in tags while someone is still composing sets up an edit conflict, which means the stuff gets lost and has to be re-written.
If you are patrolling new pages, have you considered checking yesterdays? Or starting at the bottom of the list and working up, (which is what is recommended)? That way you won't be causing problems for people who are editing now. Xyl 54 (talk) 01:31, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello! Yesterday you placed a notability template on the Burton Y. Berry article. I created that page, and there was virtually no content on it when you reviewed it.

Furthermore, it's quite a bit more constructive to add information like references than it is to mar an article with something that suggests that it is incomplete. It also rather suggests that you really couldn't be bothered to improve Wikipedia and would rather simply find fault with others' work. Aren't we supposed to be working towards improving Wikipedia?

Think about it.Kelisi (talk) 16:49, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

RE: Fair use rationale for File:Hysterica Demo.JPG

The image I uploaded is an album cover. It is a cover of a demo album released by the swedish heavy metal band Hysterica. I put it under the "cover of an audio recording license" because it is the cover of an audio recording. I have now added the band's website as a source for the image. Go to the bands website and click on "Discography" and you will find the album cover on that page titled "Demo 2006" Metalfan72 (talk) 20:20, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

That's nice. Now put a rational on the file's page and you'll be done. Eeekster (talk) 22:48, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gilbert Guillaume

A tag has been placed on Gilbert Guillaume requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Image file 'Illusion Island Dizzy Screenshot'

Hi Eekster, you've stated as the reason for flagging this image that you don't believe I own the copywrite for it. I wrote the game in it's entirety, so can assure you that I own the copywrite for it, and am obviously therefore free to take screenshots of it. I do realise that anyone could say this, however if you visit my website at www.dizzystories.co.uk, you'll see the game available there, along with others. You can also email me using the email on there, and I will verify that I am the owner, and am free to upload a screenshot here. Thanks! Peakhiker (talk) 09:16, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. –xenotalk 21:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Selena_Gomez_&_the_Scene.jpg‎ Image Issue

The picture was taken by me at Selena & The Scene's concert Meet & Greet in San Francisco. I had just begun using Wikipedia at the time I uploaded it, and thought that the picture would appear in the article in it's actual size. So, I downsized it to what I thought would be a good size for the infobox.

So, I went ahead and uploaded a larger version because the size was the problem? I have another similiar pic, too, if I can't upload the same picture twice, but it's fine by me if the smaller pic is deleted now. Please inform me if there are any other problems! Thanks!

Speedy Deletion of Multibionta Wikipedia page

Hello Eeekster:

I was wondering why you feel that the Multibionta page I posted last Friday was not suitable for Wikipedia? I am unsure as to how any of the content posted would be considered "unambiguous advertising" (G11). If you could let me know what parts/sections are of concern, that would be very helpful. Also, I am a fairly new member to Wikipedia network, and with this in mind, would love to have your support and guidance in being an effective article contributor. What can I do to revise this page to ensure that it is of encyclopedic quality and suitable for reposting?

Thanks Eeekster. I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts and becoming a better Wikipedia community member! Have a great day.

Album Covers: Gloria and Back Door Men (Shadows of Knight); Give The People What We Want (Kinks Tribute)

Skip Spence "classic photo" and Moby Grape Promo; More Oar Cover

The "classic" photo and the Moby Grape Promo are Columbia Records promotional photos from the 1960s, which I recognize as such. In the case of the "classic" photo, it is used both as the cover of Spence's Oar and on the tribute, More Oar. I don't know how to provide a further justification. In the case of More Oar, once again, it is an album cover and permitted as such. Do I have to reupload it to provide the more correct album cover justification, instead of the "promotional" category?

Dreadarthur (talk) 14:40, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

In terms of the Skip Spence "classic" photo, could you please check to see if I have provided sufficient justification. I believe the evidence is particularly strong in terms of how the image has been subsequently used for promotional purposes, but would appreciate your opinion.

Dreadarthur (talk) 21:59, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I have referenced Columbia Records in response to the cautions and deleted the cautions, to avoid automatic deletion. Please see if there is enough here. If not, I will try to provide more.

Note that another editor provided substantial justification in relation to the More Oar cover. I hope to become more familiar with this justification format.

ACC-Uniform-combination-CLM

I'm not exactly sure how I could upload a smaller file without seriously compromising the quality. If anything, I've fulfilled the request even before you put that template on the file since the version I uploaded is 13 KB smaller than the previous version. --Kevin W. 02:54, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

It's not how many KB the image is, it needs to be smaller since it's under fair use. At 1,459×413 it is way too large. Eeekster (talk) 03:01, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Can I see the relevant regulation that governs image size for fair use? --Kevin W. 03:03, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Ok, I see, it's the low resolution provision. I fail to see how the size of my image violates that. It's hardly a massive image, and I think that the decision of whether they do violate the provision shouldn't be left up to one person. The non-free use template doesn't give an explicit standard for pixels so for all you know, you could be completely wrong. Besides, there are far larger non-free images all over Wikipedia. --Kevin W. 03:36, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Please do not change the image until this issue is fairly resolved. Not only are you arbitrarily and unilaterally imposing your decision on my work, but your version of the image completely destroys the quality and makes it almost unusable! What's the point of using it to identify the team's uniform if you can't see the damn image? The licensing template clearly states its purpose is "to illustrate the sports team in question." If you make it that small, it is completely impossible to use as an illustrative image. You can't see the logos. You can't see the details. You can't see anything that identifies it as the uniform of the team! Do not change my image again until someone else is able to give their input. I want more than just your opinion on this before any unilateral action is taken. --Kevin W. 09:30, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
There is nothing to resolve. Do not revert back to the large image. Eeekster (talk) 13:40, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Skip Spence photo

The photo has now been deleted, despite my queries to you as to the adequacy of justification. I guess I should have deleted the caution, rather than waiting for a reply--or maybe there was a reply that wasn't messaged to me. This is a photo, as described, that is both a promotional photo by Columbia Records, as well as a photo that has been used on both a solo album and tribute album cover, as well as on his own gravestone. There is clearly fair use in incorporating it here. Must I upload it again, or can you simply reinstate the photo, so that it thereby become automatically linked to the Skip Spence article?

Please let me know if you have further reservations.

Dreadarthur (talk) 21:29, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

All you had to do is specify where you got the file. Uploading it again won't change that. Eeekster (talk) 04:51, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

I have received your recent message, which is appreciated. The copyright status is that of Columbia Records, this being evident from how the photo was used promotionally at the time (1968). If you go to "Skip Spence images" in Google, you will see this photo being used repetitively in promotional contexts. A recent example is in relation to an article on Spence's son performing his father's music:

http://www.metroactive.com/metro/06.18.08/music-spence-0825.html

I am uncertain as to how much more proof you could possibly want. I could try to search music magazines from 1968, though I don't currently have access to an elecronic search engine with that capability.

I ask that you consider this matter addressed.

Dreadarthur (talk) 15:02, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

I have provided further justification through citing the Metroactive link and related article as a source. A contemporary newspaper is not going to use an image without attribution (as was done in this article) unless there is a similar fair use rationale to that applied at Wikipedia.

I hope the matter is now considered closed, and have taken the liberty of deleting the photo caution. If the matter is not closed, please let me know what else might be required. Furthermore, if you aren't prepared to view matters as being closed, I would appreciate a second editorial opinion. It appears that you are rather new at this and, from what non-archived comments are available here, would appear to benefit on occasion from a second opinion, rather than acting unilaterally.

Dreadarthur (talk) 15:19, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Could you please eliminate the categorization of the photo as one that is without fair use rationale. A rationale has been provided at the outset, and is now supplemented. I can't seem to eliminate the categorization, which is inaccurate. Dreadarthur (talk) 15:41, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Multibionta - inquiry

Hi Eeekster:

I was wondering if you have recieved my message posted last week on your 'talk' page? I cannot seem to locate the note I had left. In any case can you please let me know why my Multibionta page was tagged and removed by yourself? I thought the page was extremely impartial and non-biased as all information was obtained from the probiotic multivitamin's packaging and supported by third-party reputable scientific sources. This page was not intended to be promotional by any stretch of the imagination. I am a health professional myself and thought that this topic - a new to market probiotic multivitamin supplement - was indeed a quality encyclopedic topic. In my experience, I have come accross many questions about this product/supplement class as it is a new modality of probiotic consumption (i.e. capsule form). This form differs from other means of consuming probiotics as live cultures contained within the product capsule are actually preserved longer and thus are delivered in larger quantities to the gut (i.e. the active site of digestive system bacteria). This is different from traditional probiotic foods and has become a significant topic of scientific discussion relating to general health and immunity. With all of this in mind, I think it is reasonable to request your support and guidance with respect to revising and reposting my page. Please help and feel free to contact me with questions or concerns. Thank you Eeekster. (Voyageur0209 (talk) 19:09, 29 June 2010 (UTC))

Did you read what the tag said? I think it explained the reason quite well. Eeekster (talk) 22:12, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Eeekster. I did read your explanation - the deletion was put forward based on the criteria of section G11 relating to unambiguous advertising. I would like to know how you deemed the page promotional? G11 explicitly states that "simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion". Furthermore, the information that I included in the page was all extremely factual, impartial, and supported by good solid third-party resources. In fact, most of the article was obtained from formulation/dosage information found on the packaging. There was no promotional/advertising information within the article in my eyes (this was by no means the intent). Can you please let me know specifically what the problems were with the article. I would like to better understand your concerns so that I can revise and repost my page.

(Voyageur0209 (talk) 13:46, 5 July 2010 (UTC))

I would like to know how you deemed the page promotional? G11 explicitly states that "simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion". Furthermore, the information that I included in the page was all extremely factual, impartial, and supported by good solid third-party resources. In fact, most of the article was obtained from formulation/dosage information found on the packaging. There was no promotional/advertising information within the article in my eyes (this was by no means the intent). Can you please let me know specifically what the problems were with the article. I would like to better understand your concerns so that I can revise and repost my page.

Thanks. (Voyageur0209 (talk) 15:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC))

It was promotional in my eyes and in the deleting admin's eyes. Eeekster (talk) 20:32, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

This file is my own creation intended for use on my user profile page. (I thought it would be a nice touch.) What information must I add in order to prevent its deletion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tryanmax (talk • contribs) 21:27, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

A license needs to be added just like the tag says. Eeekster (talk) 21:29, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

No, you should pick something like public domain or creative commons. What you have now is a fair use license which isn't what you want. Eeekster (talk) 22:37, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Why do the images I upload get flanged for copy writing? they're all screen shots, and I clearly listed that they are owned by Cartoon Network Inc. and Turner Broadcasting, and were exactly the screen shot came from.

What you are doing wrong is removing the templates without correcting the problem. You need to include a license tag and you aren't doing that. Eeekster (talk) 19:42, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

"unconstructive" edits to exosphere.

I felt that my edits to exosphere were constructive. I'm not quite sure what causes you to feel otherwise. As I have stated before, in many forums, the exosphere wiki, at this stage, is hardly more than a stub. I feel my edits helped to "broaden the picture", so to speak, making it a better seed bed, and thus, much more conducive to growth. There is so much more to be added to the exosphere page, and I will try to enhance it as time permits. I invite others to enhance it, as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.240.178.90 (talk) 22:44, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Let me ask you though, if I may.... in a situation like that, would it have been proper Wikipedia etiquette to remove the tag myself, or should I let the editor who placed it know? Pianotech 02:33, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

You could do both. If you just remove the tag, say why in the edit summary. Eeekster (talk) 02:42, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Bill Bentley (producer)

I just need a bit more time here to more clearly demonstrate his notability through external sources. Hence the "under construction" tag. Bentley is personally responsible for two significant tribute albums that are notable in their own right: Where The Pyramid Meets The Eye: A Tribute to Roky Erickson and More Oar: A Tribute to the Skip Spence Album. Profile articles have been written about Bentley as a consequence

Dreadarthur (talk) 22:07, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

You also need to supply sources when you create the article. Eeekster (talk) 22:08, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I have now referenced two independent profile articles on Bentley and deleted the related cautions accordingly, which I hope seems reasonable. The "under construction" tag remains, since there is more to add, both from the referenced articles and from his contribution profile in Allmusic:

Permission to use in the article is not enough. Wikipedia requires a less restrictive license than that. Eeekster (talk) 02:25, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Convoy PQ 8

Hello
I dunno if you're familiar with this at all; {{newpage}} It’s a new page tag, which says the editor is well aware of WP guidelines about sources, etc, but is still in the process of constructing the page.
So ignoring it and tagging a page for a lack of references one minute after its been started is less than helpful, n’est ce pas?
Particularly if, when you do plonk your nag tag on a page while its being written, it sets up an edit conflict that loses whatever is being written, so it has to be done again.
You might also profitably read the guidelines for New Page Patrolling, which say:
“It is advisable to patrol new pages from the bottom of the first page of the log. This should give the creating editor enough time to improve a new page before a patroller attends to it, particularly if the patroller tags the page for speedy deletion. Tagging anything other than attack pages or complete nonsense a minute after creation is not constructive and only serves to annoy the page author.
OK? Xyl 54 (talk) 00:24, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

No, tagging is fine since it had no sources. Sheesh. Eeekster (talk) 00:26, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Seeking Editor Monitoring of Birdman Records Page

Could you or one of your editorial colleagues please put Birdman Records on a continuing watchlist, with a view to blocking certain IP addresses. It appears that, since 2008 or so, the page has become a bit of a juvenile playground for people who want to put up false group names to see how long it takes before someone appreciates the vandalism. Since the label features a number of independent artists with unique names to begin with, this seems to provide an impetus for the juvenalia.

Many thanks in advance for any action that you or your editorial colleagues are able to take to preserve the integrity of the page.

Further to what has been happening to the Birdman Records page, I am wondering if it is time to eliminate the right to contribute to Wikipedia without having established a contributor account. I note that images can only be uploaded by account holders. As a screen against vandalism, I suggest that all contributions to Wikipedia must be by way of a formally established account. Could you please discuss with your editorial colleagues or forward to the appropriate forum; many thanks in advance.

Erection edit

I believe your reversion of my edit on the erection page is in err. Your reason for reverting was that I removed information from the page without properly citing a reason why. In fact, I had cited a reason, which was the incorrect or controversial nature of the information. The user who had written on the page cited "excessive masturbation" as a reason for erectile dysfunction and cited four sources. I reviewed the sources. Of them, only one made it apparent that there were doctors or medical professionals running the page. Overall, the sources dealt more with "Eastern medicine," religious guilt, and anecdotes about prostate rubbing than actual science. I'd appreciate if you'd reconsider my revisions as the controversial information may cause some to irrationally fear masturbation (and for impressionable teenagers, such as I, that is a TERRIBLE result!).

If so (and if the permission is compatible with WP), the tag will be removed. Eeekster (talk) 02:44, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
Is it standard policy to use speedy deletion tags when one is merely awaiting confirmation of permission sent by e-mail? If so, could you please direct me to the relevant policy page? I would have thought that even a regular deletion tag would be inappropriate in such circumstances, not to mention a speedy-deletion tag. Gregcaletta (talk) 02:46, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
The page cited as the source indicates the files are copyright protected. That's the reason for the tag. The reviewing admin will look for the email permission before deleting. Eeekster (talk) 03:05, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
Don't worry. An admin has now removed the tag. Speedy deletion tags are not appropriate for files which are awaiting confirmation of permission. In the future, if you unsure about this, it would be best to use a regular deletion tag. Thank you. Gregcaletta (talk) 06:31, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

DB Declined

I have removed the {{db-band}} tagging of BUNT. I realize the article is a mess, but that is probably because it was written by a non-native English speaker. There are assertions of notability in the article (topping Serbian charts, large sales, etc). It is unclear whether any of the assertions are true, but they are there.

Unintentional spam Godsmosque.org

I apologize for making edits that violate the guidelines of Wikipedia. It is not my intention to spam. I just thought the website was a relevant contribution. I have read your warning, and the link to what is considered spamming. I had not read that previously. After reading the spamming article, I see why that link is inappropriate. I will reassess the links I added to a couple of other pages as well.

Thank you

Unintentional spam Godsmosque.org

Did I trigger blacklisting mentioned in the "final warning"? I am asking because I received a final warning, but it was only a few minutes after my first. I had added the link to several pages that I thought was appropriate at the time. This link was removed from all of them, before I had a chance to remove the others myself. After reading the spamming guidelines, I have a better idea of a couple of pages where I feel it is definitely appropriate, but I before I proceed I would like to know if the website is blocked or blacklisted as was warned in the final warning. If it is how do I make amends?

Thanks

However this particular image, uploaded by me on behalf of Christian Fellowship Church is licensed under a CC Atribution license. So I hope this satisfies all objections raised in this PUF.

Uruguayan cinematheque -general notability guideline. Please

Dear Eeekster,

Thank you for your feedback. I have created the Uruguayan cinematheque Article yesterday, the source for it is the http://www.rau.edu.uy/uruguay/cultura/Cinemateca.htm ,the page is in Spanish, as this is the language spoken in Uruguay the page belongs to the Red Academica Uruguaya, the Uruguayan Academic Network of the Universidad de la Republica, in English the Republic University. University of the Republic so I believe a University is indeed a reliable source of Information. The information is in Spanish but if you take the time to translate it, you will find it corresponds with the information mentioned in the page.

The organization is the main organization in what Cinema Culture difussion respects in the Republic of Uruguay. It was in fact included in the list of National Archives that Wikipedia has: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archives , look for the entry for Uruguay.

Generaly speaking you can search for Cinemateca Uruguaya, which is the spanish name for it and you will find several sources. From all of this, I believed the University to be the most reliable.

I am keen for the Article to meet whatever criteria required, please let me know what do you think needs to be added for the criterion to be meet.

About the Pathak Picture

Yes I understand that. I know merely being in possession of a picture physically does not give one right to publish it. That way tens of thousands of people will have a right to publish his picture ( he is India's most widely read living author and his picture is there on every novel he writes. That means millions of Indians are in possession of his picture. ) But please note that it was especially send to me, as a friend, as a person who knows me. He knows that I am a writer and my works appear now and then in many magazines etc. He gave the picture with the intention that I will probably use it for my benefit.

Re - August 2010

I was trying to help with that by archiving discussions that are a year old. Eaglestorm and me has have a long rivalry since December 2009. On Metal Gear Solid their is a section that mentions Bleemcast that has been there for months now. Eaglestrom removes even though it is sourced. I have been trying to help this encyclopedia but Eaglestorm compromises this. Whitmore 8621--Whitmore 8621 (talk) 04:40, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Ok, then where is the archive and why didn't you say anything about this "archiving" activity in your edit summaries? I'm not buying it. All I see is you censoring discussion you don't like. That's not appropriate. Eeekster (talk) 04:42, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Well I was removing old information and I thought it needed a clean up. What is wrong with Story over plot and also the reason some of the bond movies have sub heading is because people constantly change it over and over again. The MGS Archive was labelled as Talk:Metal Gear Solid/Archive 2. I did not edit the summary because I did not notice or thought I had to I apologize for that. Whitmore 8621--Whitmore 8621 (talk) 04:49, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

What's wrong with just leaving it as plot? Eeekster (talk) 04:51, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Story sounds better in my opinion Whitmore 8621--Whitmore 8621 (talk) 04:57, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Then get a consensus instead of just changing it to fit your opinion. Otherwise you'll probably end up blocked again. But the reality is making that change is really quite silly and your time would be better spent creating real content instead of edit wars. Eeekster (talk) 04:59, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey remember two weeks ago I asked you for help and you never replied back and reverted my question?, I have been helping this encyclopedia for months now but some users like Ealgestorm are most likely jealous and revert my contributions because they are not sourced even though they actually are. I admit I was wrong with the copyright tags I made a mistake and I served my 7 days suspension from Wikipedia. I feel so outnumbered by this encyclopedia I am trying to help but people make my life so hard and tough. I got into a incident years ago in Grade 6 where I was outnumbered by 6 people. I do not like being bullied or ignored, Whitmore 8621--Whitmore 8621 (talk) 05:05, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

I am sorry for the trouble I have caused sometimes but I am not entirely the bad guy. Whitmore 8621--Whitmore 8621 (talk) 05:08, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

So what is happening with this edit war am I going to be blocked again? Whitmore 8621--Whitmore 8621 (talk) 05:28, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

There's an easy way to not get b locked for edt-warring: Don't edit war! Admitedly, it can be harder to not revert someone when you really believe you're right, but the best thing to do is to swallow your pride, stop reverting the same edits over and over, and discuss the issue on the article's talk page. If you can make yourself not revert more than once, you'll never have to worry about getting blocked for edit warring again. If you check my contributions, you'll see I have difficulty stopping reverting at times. But I've been on WP 4 years this week, and I've only been blocked twice for edit-warring, though I have come close a few more time. So be careful, keep yur pride and temper in check, and you'll do OK here.
As to the current Edit war discussion, just apologize now, admit you went too far, and promise not to do it again. Then make sure you don't edit war for the next few days. That might not keep you from being blocked this time, bu without an apology and a promise not to edit war, you probably will be blocked. - BilCat (talk) 05:38, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to enter this discussion, but..
HEY WHITMORE, haven't you got anything else to do than include my name in every sympathy fit you put up here? Judging by your behaviour these past few hours, it seems you're back to your old habits of "I'm sorry I won't do this again"... then you pull the same edit war crap every single time, even when the tides are against you. Oh, you don't want being "bullied" because of your off-wiki experience in sixth grade? BIG FN DEAL, and you expect those whom you told that story to feel sorry for you? And I agree with Eeekster's original response here, you're definitely censoring stuff you don't like (like that IP sock you're so ashamed of), you insist on ramming your version of things in the article despite consensus stating otherwise. Drop the blame game and go somewhere else. NPA notwithstanding, you're just plain pathetic. The hell with you. --Eaglestorm (talk) 06:17, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

I apologize to both Eeekster and Bilcat for this edit war I had no intention of being anything like a moron art all I just being I bit upset with some of my conflicts over the last few months.

But 9 other uncited names were allowed to remain. Treatment of uncited items should be consistent.

Hi Eek. I saw you tagged the above as a WP:Proposed deletion for WP:BLP. Given some of the content, I was wondering if this might just qualify as a speedy; seeing as there's no category for "WP:NOTENCYCLOPEDIADRAMMATICA then maybe under G3 (or G10 even). I've rarely ventured into ?WP:CSD territory so am not confident about making a call myself. Anyway, what do you say? All the best, Plutonium27 (talk) 04:07, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

It seems to have some assertion of notability, albeit not much. The BLP prod should do the job unless we learn more. Eeekster (talk) 04:46, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

El Paso & Ciudad Juarez.jpg

I took this image and edited from the original file, El paso city.jpg link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:El_paso_city.jpg according to the copyright on wikipedia the license states the following: You are free: to share – to copy, distribute and transmit the work to remix – to adapt the work Under the following conditions: attribution – You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work). share alike – If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this one.

I felt like I needed a smaller image that mainly focused on the city of Juarez. I don't feel like it should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ricraider (talk • contribs) 23:45, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Altered speedy deletion rationale: Larry lawaan

Hello Eeekster, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I deleted Larry lawaan, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided. The speedy deletion criteria are extremely narrow and specific, and the process is more effective if the correct criterion is used. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:28, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Leaving a template without saying what was actually wrong with my tagging isn't much help. I can't even look at the article's history to see what my tag was. Most likely the article was changed after I tagged it but I can't know that for sure. Eeekster (talk) 21:20, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Photograph

Dear Eeekster, This is a reply to your message regarding the File:Dejan Stojanović, Chicago, 1991.jpg. Should it be specified at the other site http://www.archive.org/details/RainByDejanStojanovic&reCache=1 that this photograph can be reused under the CC-BY-SA? Or should it be specifically said that it can be reused at Wikipedia? This can be done, but if you feel that anything else needs to be fixed, please feel free to do so. When you send me an answer, additional description will be placed at the other site. The person who took that photograph died six or seven years ago; he was not a professional photographer and he never intended to use this photograph for any other purpose except to give it to the person on the photograph free of any obligation.

Indian cabinet ministers

Hey, I know most of the Indian cabinet minister pages are stubs, but some of them are not and none of them should be.

Would you have any problem with me reverting all your redirects from the minister pages to the ministry pages? I could talk more about why I think the stubs should remain and not be merged if you question this. Blue Rasberry 17:04, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Why do we need minster pages? Eeekster (talk) 21:28, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
  1. Because there is precedent for other countries, such as in these examples.
  2. Because stubs are useful without merging and encourage other editors to add to the articles. See WP:STUB.
  3. Because India is a world power with an educated citizenry who are highly computer proficient, and I think I am justified in having a reasonable expectation that the amount of content to be found justifies separating the minister articles from the ministry articles.
Is this sufficient reasoning? If not, why not? Blue Rasberry 05:48, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

WQUlrich (talk) 04:03, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

You added an unreferenced tag almost too quickly for Ohio State Route 295, which you did while I was going through my source to get the distance necessary for the reference to appear.

Just for your future reference. There are several Ohio route sans pages right now, when they are brought back, just note that if you see one right away and the route length is not displayed yet, thus not activating the corresponding reference, it will be added within 30 minutes of debuting. This just saving you a step, because the ref tag would be taken right down in a matter of minutes...it would all be done in one sitting, just it might be spread out, timewise. Thanks.

Image on the preview of Retro force

Hello, now you've given me the warning that I appreciate that you've let me know, but for the simple reason why I've uploaded this image is because, Retro Force is an under-rated game which everyone from all around the world (Except for Europe) doesn't know the game, now I apologise that I haven't got the rights to upload this, but the simple being, this game is under-rated and it needs to be spread around the world so that everyone would know the game, I don't think this image should be deleted, if it was, then how would everyone would know this game? What would the preview look like if the game is played? Please, I would like to have the request if the image should not be deleted at all times, I understand that you're doing your job on whether this image has to be deleted or not, but let me offer it as a suggestion, if the image is going to be deleted, then how would anyone know on what the gameplay is like or what the preview of it looks like?

Speedy delete CUPP Computing

Hi Eekster, I am trying to put some info up on CUPP Computing which is a company in Norway with some quite interesting technology. I didnt actually mean to post it as it was a work in progress. In the middle of editing using show changes I hit save. It might indeed have looked like ad copy because I took it right from the site at first. But I have edited that, and a lot of the background came from various tech sites like endgadget and whatnot, all of which I cited on the bottom. And now NONE of the text is cut and pasted. I have just been trying to edit it properly. I should indeed have used the sandbox... but now I am stuck... and its not right if it keeps getting blasted as a blatant advertisement and so on. Its not intended to be, and it shouldn't be seen as such. Frankly, there are any number of people who could write this for the company. I just wanted it here as a reference. The tech will pan out or not. If it does, it will be here in any case. Let me know what the deal is on that, because if it going to be a tug of war with wiki admin tossing big giant disclaimers on it, I would prefer it just go away. There is no hype in it. And I think the assessment of it as such now is untoward. I would just add this as well. The reason I even did this is was that it was suggested from among user comments within some of the articles referenced on the bottom of the page. If you want outside support for the relevance of the CUPP page, I would suggest a quick perusal of a few of those articles. But again, I stress, if we are going to be in tug of war about this page, then I heartily endorse its "speedy deletion" for now. I planned to refercne internally all the tech terms (like x-86, Chipset, RISC, CISC and so forth) to make it cool as a tech page. But I am not used to the format, and clearly that was going to take me HOURS. I also made a few errors, but this is not my gig as a rule. So I would prefer its either considered as reasonable as a valid reference before I put any more time into is, or it be made to go away with expeditious ferocity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupp_computing (celtnorseCeltnorse (talk) 00:47, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

FYI - I have declined the speedy deletion for the Talaris Institute. The article shows promise and the author is developing sources. At present, notability is marginal, and if it doesn't improve, it can still be nominated for WP:AfD. -- Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 03:00, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Malak Koura

Hello Eeekster. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Malak Koura to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. Kimchi.sg (talk) 04:16, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Did you look at the deletion history? Eeekster (talk) 04:18, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
It was substantially expanded from the first deletion. Wouldn't call the second version A7, though the claim is buried inside the middle of the page. Kimchi.sg (talk) 04:26, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
I just based my nomination of memory of what it had been and the previous A7 delete. Couldn't see the old version of course. Eeekster (talk) 04:28, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

PRODs

Hey, keep up the NPP work. However, if an article doesn't meet one of the more serious CSD, it's usually better to leave it for a while and then come back and tag it later if it hasn't been improved, especially if it's not a speedy. For example, you prodded Ruth Ginio just three minutes after its creation. While the subject almost certainly isn't notable, there's no harm in leaving it for a few hours to avoid biting a newbie. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:08, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Actually I think it did qualify for a speedy. I was just trying to be nice by using prod. Eeekster (talk) 20:21, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

It is not my product. and I am using it. I just bought the software. ANd I want to document the things I know. And hopefully some people will add up to the documentation so we can share more knowledge. I am not advertising it, but want to synergize knowledge hoping other user would post soon as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itpvision2 (talk • contribs) 05:02, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Two things: add references to reliable sources (see WP:RS), since this is a biography of a living person (see WP:BLP). Second, edit the article so it looks more like an encyclopedic article. Right now, it looks like a combination of a resume and a press release: it's not neutral, it's much too wordy. Good luck. Drmies (talk) 01:59, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that's fine. Eeekster (talk) 23:45, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Very good. I'll go through the others now to apply similar size reductions. I am intent on following the WP photo policies to the tee, as there is certainly no margin for error when it comes to copyright/trademark issues. --Jeff Bedford (talk) 23:50, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Hannibal Reitano

Dear Sir or Madam "Eeekster",


Thank you for your email regarding the entry for Hannibal Reitano in Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal_Reitano
I apologize for my English, I’m from Argentina.


I’m working in the article in discussion, and after your comments I have added web links and coat of arm.


All the references that I introduce previously were from the House of Reytano family information but the specific data about each book (page, etc) I will have to wait until May when Hannibal Reitano returns to England where he has all the books to fill all the specific information.


I commit my self to complete the references section on May, in addition I will ask to you if there is another part of the article that you consider it should be improved.


Thank you for the help.

Sincerely yours.

About Vytool utility: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vytool
it is used by 20-30 people and is discussed by Open-Source community on Vyatta.org and Vyatta4People.org sites.

it is actually the first free router automation tool I've spotted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Davenport

I wanted to make my case for not deleting "Adam Davenport." The article has been improved and updated to include a credible claim of the subject's significance as an important emerging African American director. So I feel it is a subject of interest both for members of the film industry and those interested in learning more about African American directors and significant professionals in the film industry at large. I will also be adding pages for other significant emerging directors as it is important that these voices in film are acknowledged and documented.

Grier Laughlin and Notability

Hi Eekster I have posted this comment on the Grier Laughlin talk page.

There is now an annual Grier Laughlin Memorial Water Polo Tournament. This is notable because the history of water polo in the state of Colorado has been altered by his existence. Furthermore, Grier also Co-founded Quintus Financial Services which has more than 150 clients nationwide. Grier was also a nationally recognized college athlete for Dartmouth. I need to find sources, though, indicating what awards he received while at Dartmouth.

It may be possible that Grier is not notable. However, I thought founding a successful financial services company constituted notability. His company will be changing the ideas of others in the field as academics, through publications, influence people. Theropod (talk) 03:01, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Provident Personal Credit redirect

Hello. You recently redirected the Provident Personal Credit (PPC) page to the Provident Financial (PF) page. I have looked into your comments and I completely understand the reasons why you did this. I have taken your comments on board regarding the need for references from 3rd party independent published reliable sources in the article and I have found numerous ones, including an article from Joseph Rowntree, that I am going to add into the content. You mentioned in your comments that PPC is a reasonable search term and I completely agree, is some respects it is probably a more popular search term than PF as PPC is the name that PF trade under and therefore the name that people associate with the service. If I included a number of 3rd party references and I undid the redirect would the article be OK or would it still be at risk of deletion? I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

"Grandfather Birds"

Hi Eekster. I removed your tagging of this article as I feel that receiving national recognition is enough to satisfy the A7 criteria as it implies significance or importance.

Hi, just dropping by to give you a heads up that I refactored your AFD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JohnnyBoyXo which was an old AFD, I moved your nomination to a 2nd nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JohnnyBoyXo (2nd nomination). I know messing with other people's signed things on pages is generally frowned on, but I felt it was what you intended to do. I didn't mess with your reasoning, just moved it into a separate nomination from the archived on. Hope you don't mind. Monty845 06:19, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

It looks like the original AFD was closed with a delete result. Wish I had noticed that. Eeekster (talk) 18:20, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

VG Grocers Logo FAIR USE ONLY.jpg

Thank you for tagging my image; however, that *is* the highest quality copy I have- it's a small detail isolated from a larger photograph and has been stretched horizontally to correct for perspective. Short of a miracle, it's not going to look better, and it's really not accurate enough to use as the basis for reconstruction (assuming I had the time and inclination).

CSD changed

Just a note, I changed Chumlee (Austin Russell)'s CSD tag from G2 to A7, because the page didn't seem like a mere test at all. Regards, Swarm X 04:39, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

I used G2 because the page was just one line with little to no context. Eeekster (talk) 04:42, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Lack of context would be A1, while G2 would be like... "Can I really create a page?" or "testing..." or pages that were clearly created by mistake. Swarm X 04:47, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
I've used G2 that way before and had it stick. Mostly I mis-read the article and thought it was a fictional character and not covered by A7. Eeekster (talk) 04:49, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Watching own talk pages by newcomers

I’ve just found that I posted to your talk page having failed to read your post on mine. This happened because I just had no reasonable opportunity to check there “watch this page” box.

IMO, common sense suggests that this checkmark should be placed onto new users’ talk pages by default. Or, if it is unfeasible, respective advice should be included in your speedy deletion notice. SorkinY (talk) 00:24, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

The big orange banner isn't enough? Eeekster (talk) 00:50, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

And where could a user review respective templates or references thereto?

Yet amendment to my original question now arose - last time I had already checked "watch this page" box, but still received no notice of your reply, sure I checked "Spam" folder and haven't block any possible sender nor authorized ISP or someone else to do so. Where should I go? SorkinY (talk) 04:42, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Eekster,

Thank you for the notification. Both the "Poster" and following photograph that I am using for my article located at

1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Poster_for_America-A_Call_to_Greatness.jpg 2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Warren_Chaney_directing_Gene_Autry_in_his_Final_Performance.jpg; were not copyrighted by Paige-Brace Cinema (the production company for America: A Call to Greatness) and...

Both images were distributed for press and media publicity in 1995.

I thought that the tag I attached to both was the appropriate one but obviously it was not.

I would appreciate any help that you could provide. I will eventually get this down!

Thanks, Robert J. SinclairSinclairindex (talk) 19:22, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Eeekster. Would you take a closer look at this article, or leave some notes on the talk page about phrases you find promotional? I don't believe anything is unsourced and it was just recreated from userfication to rely on RS. I think if you look at it again you'll find the discussion is not promotional and the seemingly grandiose language is indeed accurate. Cheers, Ocaasi c 19:23, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Having sources doesn't change the fact the article sounds promotional. Eeekster (talk) 20:45, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
I think what I was saying is that the promotional sounding language reflects the sources. Ocaasi c 21:11, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

What's your point? Eeekster (talk) 01:15, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Image sources

With regard to image sources, precisely what information do you wish to see? I have not been able to find the cover artists' names. The books were published up to 31 years ago, and ownership rights may have changed repeatedly since then. Would the name of the original publisher (the last known copyright holder) be sufficient? Luke Jaywalker (talk) 02:06, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Mostly where you got the image. If from the web, a URL of the page containing the image. The important thing is for other editors to be able to confirm its copyright status. Eeekster (talk) 02:08, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale

I had been under the impression that, when an article is specifically about a book, a low-resolution image of the book's cover (when marked as such at upload), counted as sufficient fair use rationale. So that I don't make this mistake again, would you be so kind as to point me to the section of guidelines where it's indicated that this does not - and, for the purpose of fixing present error, the guidelines that say what *does* constitute an acceptable fair use rationale? Thanks. Luke Jaywalker (talk) 02:06, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

It says you need a rationale right in the copyright tag. You'll also find links to policy there. Eeekster (talk) 02:10, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your helpful advice. But the WP help files can be very opaque - can you explain exactly how to edit these fields? Very appreciated, Luke Jaywalker (talk) 02:20, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
The edit button should work. Eeekster (talk) 02:26, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Ellen MacArthur Foundation

I have already sent in the permissions to Wikipedia, and so what else do I have to do to not get this logo of Ellen MacArthur Foundation reduced in size or blocked?

Alastair Carr (talk) 19:54, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) You need to wait for an OTRS volunteer to verify the permission statement and then the image can be restored to its original size. If you could clarify where you sent the email to, that would also help, since there's currently nothing in the system at permissions-en@wikimedia.org. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:07, 16 April 2011 (UTC)


VernoWhitney,

I'm sorry, I've discovered it does not need permission because it is only a mixture of simple shapes. Therefore it is in the public domain. However, I can't edit the copyright now, because I'm blocked from editing it.

License tagging for File:GB2K04 - Invasion of the Body Squeezers, Part 1.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:GB2K04 - Invasion of the Body Squeezers, Part 1.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Hi Eeekster. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request for TIMs, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers and review the criteria for speedy deletion. Particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion, proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. I turned it into a redirect for the time being. Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) T/S 02:09, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

You nominated this for speedy deletion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TLane01.png

I suppose I can see both sides of the issue on whether or not that should be allowed, however, I'd rather find a solution to this problem rather than read through page after page of copyright rules in an attempt to prevent deletion. I came up with an idea that I think will work, and perhaps you are more experienced in this matter and able to tell me if this is a good way to solve this problem.

Can I simply remake the chart and label it as a remake of the chart on page 5 of Tom Lane's book, thereby avoiding any copyright issues while still allowing me to show the information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SolarCoordinates (talk • contribs) 04:35, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

How so? In my mind, a derivative work is when you simply add onto someone else's work. I wouldn't be adding onto his work, but rather recreating it entirely. Surely there is no copyright on the underlying information, and it applies simply to the graphical representation.

Heidi/Heather pic

Hi - Although I have a history on Wiki, I've never tried uploading a pic and only did it this time because I hated the current picture on Heidi's page. I know that the picture was a publicity still done by UVA and I've seen it in several print articles and on dozens of other news pages and some other sites (which I know doesn't mean anything). I'll have to dig to see if I can find the source. Please do not delete the picture. If I can't verify the copyright, I'll let you know. Ckruschke (talk) 20:57, 19 May 2011 (UTC)Ckruschke

Nevermind. After re-reading your post and the one from another editor who flagged the picture for speedy deletion, there are so many requirements on me to ensure that the picture is freeware that I will never be able to get it done today and its therefore not worth my time.

Geoffrey Burnand portrait photograph

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Geoffrey_Burnand_portrait_photograph.jpg Hi. I've tried to find something applicable as a copyright permission, the one selected, as I understood it, seemed the best. This was a self-portrait photograph taken by Geoffrey Burnand. It passed directly from him to Mr R. East, with whom any and all ownership and copyright then resided. It has not been published anywhere. Both options in the blurb you've sent refer to "original publication". There are two things I hope you will kindly answer: (1) He essentially grants whatever permission is needed for it to be used on wikipedia (if that means wider permission for it's use anywhere, that's fine) - In that circumstance, what copyright licence should I/he be citing? (2) "SENDER'S NAME AND DETAILS" - does this mean a full name and full real-world address or what? In any case, where is this information held and who has access to it? Thanks for any help, Regards. 7ames (talk) 02:35, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Reverted Edit on Lillian Osborne High School By Accident

Why are you telling me? Eeekster (talk) 02:11, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Because I resolved the problem for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fire_Department.jpg , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Baptist_Chruch.jpg , and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:General_Store.jpg . You asked me to do so didn't you?. I added the right tags and emailed a copy of my explicit permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Permission is her for you to see: (email)

This is completely fine, as long as you use this credit: Photo Courtesy Brian Brown, plus a live link to my site. Sounds like a great project, and thanks for your kind words! Let me know at some point which images you'll be using... Thanks again! Brian

I emailed the permission files and removed the tag like the tutorial says. Furthermore I'm simply trying to improve the site. I live in this area and have great knowledge on the region. I'm not trying to 'violate' the site. Telling me I'm doing so is both rude and insulting. If you're so concerned that it's done right you could give me help instead of waving a possible ban in my face.Violeta123321

Kevin Stea article deletion discussion

It might be best to delete the article since Kevin Stea and those who work with him are not sure how it got there in the first place, and when I tried to put up a mug shot for the page to make it look better, matters got worse, because I mentioned I was a distant relation. However, he is an accomplished actor who has had a starring role in Naked Boys Singing and in Showgirls. He got his start in the Disney Movie "Newsies" in the role of Swifty... which still has a fan club blog for him active today because the movie has become a cult favorite. I am done with Wikipedia for now, do not want to read voluminous policies (I am too old to learn a new language) and only wish I coud get rid of my login altogether.

Do whatever you want to do Eeekster, it's totally up to you. Gmccombs (talk) 05:20, 4 June 2011 (UTC) Greg McCombs

Eeekster is correct that this isn't the best place for the discussion since this isn't where the decision will be made. He or she's just the person who happened to point out that the article has serious problems. The article's talk page at Talk:Kevin_Stea is a good place for discussion on how to improve the article if you want to do that (to give it a better chance). The official discussion of whether the article can be kept is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Stea. Cloveapple (talk) 09:58, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

inre Dead Fury

You proposed the article for deletion 36 minutes after it was created and only 30 minutes after its newcomr author made his last edit. It was then sent to AFD just 84 minutes later. Excuse me, but why the rush? I found the topic to be notable, and while I can understand your concern about an article-in-progress that was at that time only an 11 word unsourced stub, it was not at all difficult to expand it (so far) into a 559 word start class article to serve the project and its readers. Care to help out if further improvements? Might be a nice joint DYK in it. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:50, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

I didn't send it to afd and 36 minutes is quite a lot of time. All too often an article gets nothing more after that much time. A PROD can often work in the sense of being a verb and it looks like that happened here. Eeekster (talk) 03:23, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
I know that you were not the one to send it to AFD... and to those editors who are hunt-and-peck typists or have slow internet, under WP:WIP and WP:POTENTIAL 36 minutes could have seemed a teeny bit hurried. But I do understand your reasoning, as newcomers sometimes write one sentence and never return to their articles. I suppose my greater worry was in it being so quickly sent to AFD... requiring either immediate improvement or consignment to the trash bin. With your early awareness of the stub's shortcomings, I had thought to seek assistance in building upon my initial expansion and improvements. But that thought is less of an imperative as I now have it at 4674 characters (805 words) and, in expectation of a 'keep', have nominated it for a DYK. Hopefully the newbie author will realize that A) others can and will help build an article, and B) unless one is willing to create something with a bit more meat and at least some adequate sourcing, it is better to begin work in a userspace where one has the luxury of time. Thanks, and best regards. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 17:55, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Bulldog Mansion dispute

Pretty quick throwing in a reason to remove the Bulldog Mansion image before I could even edit the page where the image would be referenced? I've stated my justified reasons in the pages but if you feel you still have an issue to the image, just delete the document and revert the article. I'm new to article editing on a group where there's enough interest but no one is willing to expand the article stub. Already there is a different user who's opting to delete the article altogether but if the last-ditch resort to save the page by adding an image brews concern, it's not worth my time to deal with Bulldog Mansion altogether. I feel pretty resigned as is...

Hi, I am trying to create a page for the Broadway producer Roy Miller. He's the producer for Pee Wee Herman's show, and also is the producer who brought The Drowsy Chaperone to the US, among other notable items. I made this page for him, but can't figure out how to make it go live.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Adelmang/Roy_Miller_%28producer%29

I added a link to it to the disambiguation page and since you were the one who mentioned that you deleted the link because the page doesn't exist, I thought I would start with you and ask you what I am doing wrong. I can't figure out how to make the page exist on the live site.

conduct

Your comments concerning conduct on my talk page were unwarranted considering the conditions.. I was the one attacked prioryman used name calling in his unprovoked comments on my page for a subject he wasn't a part of. I suggest you direct the comments to him as he needs guidance in approaching individuals in a nice manner. (Sandots (talk) 01:49, 16 June 2011 (UTC))

In additon as you are pointing out policy procedures and codes LET me remind you of this one which clearly states do no antagonize, or berate newcomers for being misinformed for their mistatakes I have attached a link for your recall. I believe calling someone a "NUISANCE" as Prioryman did me is in direct violation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers (Sandots (talk) 02:14, 16 June 2011 (UTC))

Being "attacked" is no excuse for your the comments you left of his (and your own) talk page. And as for being called a "NUISANCE" he never did; Prioryman asked you to stop making nuisance edits to Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case and he was quite polite about it. Next time you find your edits being reverted please pay attention to the reasons given, it'll save a lot of time and effort for many people. Eeekster (talk) 03:54, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
Referring to someones comment as a nuisance is not different than calling them one, there was nothing polite about (Sandots (talk) 11:36, 16 June 2011 (UTC))
Once again: he didn't refer to you or your comment as a nuisance. He said your bad edits of the arbitration page were (and I agree). You kept repeating the same bad edit and that is, by definition, a nuisance. Please stop confronting people and try cooperating, this isn't the place for fighting.

Hi, Eeekster. Thank you for your post on my talk page. Please note that I did not upload files with missing or false information although it might appear so. I have full permission from the creators of those image files. In fact, the file that you mentioned, which is Arevan logo.jpg has been authorized for use by the creator of the Arevan game and logo. She e-mailed me personally and I even got her to change the license to the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License, which I chose when uploading. Unfortunately, the image was already deleted before she put up the license information on her website - you can see it there now at the bottom of the page at: http://www.OverCloud9.com I tried uploading it again but I seem to be having problems. Would it be possible for you to undelete it please? I have found a better license which is a non-free license that I am using for the Aldorlea Games logo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aldorlea_Games_logo.jpg I will change it to that license if you undelete the Arevan logo image for me. I am sorry for the inconvenience. I am just a big fan of RPG Maker games and I think the authors/companies/games deserve to be on Wikipedia considering how famous they are among the gaming community.

Please undelete Sherman3D

Sorry to bother you again but can you also undelete http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman3D for me? I tried to explain to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PMDrive1061 just as I did to you above but he retired. I got Sherman3D to give me the license to write about their company and I did extensive research but the article was deleted because I quoted from Sherman3D's website. Again, I got the permission and got the copyright noticed changed but before I could notify PMDrive1061, he retired. Please undelete for me and I will use the non-free license that I am using for Aldorlea Games. Sorry for the inconvenience as it was one of my first articles. I have apologized so many times to the company and PMDrive1061. I must be really unlucky that he retired. Thank you! Alphakimori (talk) 17:21, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Just an idea...

Hi. When you apply PROD and BLPPROD templates, it's a good idea to keep the pages on your watchlist in case those templates get removed, or if the article after the research you should do for NPP turns up insufficient or no WP:RS, such as Bisma Karisma for example.

Hello - The deletion of the edit I made under Clostridium Difficile which you called vandalism was insulting. I am a medical professional and wanted to contribute my experiences in dealing with the nature of this particular issue of stool transplantation to cure this disorder. The Yuck or Ick factor (which you have a listing for) is a problem that we face trying to deal with this problem, even though it is an effective cure. This a major impediment to this procedure.

Fraunhofer diffraction calculations

I have twice tried to create a subuser page in which to develop this article. It was deleted first time before I got a chance to put anything in (I had to rush away for my dinner!!). I did put an explanation in the talk page hoping it would be undeleted, but got no reply.

I then created it with a slightly different (corrected) name and added the stuff I've written so far. But now I find it has been coonverted to a full article, which I certainly did not want as there is much work to be done, including tracking down a discrepancy between two different results for the same calculation. I have put a note to that effect on the page, but would really much prefer if it existed as one of my sub-pages, as I don't want anyoen to waste theier time going through mathematical derivations which are wrong.

I obviously have not got this sub-page business right though I have already created two such pages without any problem.

Would it be possible to turn it back into one of my sub-pages? If not, can you tell me where I have gone wrong (talk) 07:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Marked as Patrolled

Hi there, Eeekster/Archive. Just a little request. It seems that Twinkle, quite annoyingly, doesn't mark pages as patrolled even when you tag them for WP:CSD, WP:PROD or WP:AFD. I've just come across an article, that you'd tagged for WP:CSD on the unpatrolled list. I'm sure you already know, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the article, there will be a little link in square brackets that says [mark this page as patrolled]. Clicking that means it'll get taken off the unpatrolled list and so no-one else will come across it on that list. It's not your fault, I know; it's Twinkle's. But until they fix it, it'd be great if you could click that link just before you tag an article. I've marked that one as patrolled. If you didn't find the article via the new pages list then just ignore me; you won't have had the option to mark it as patrolled. Sorry to be a pain. Keep up the good work. — Fly by Night (talk) 01:00, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

About some MD cover images

On July 4th I uploaded some images to the Muscular Development article and though I am no expert on fair use, called both images "fair use" based upon my admittedly amateurish understanding of the criteria. (I... uh, looked at how similar images were classified and figured it could (might?) apply there as well.) File:Muscular Development 1993 November Vol 30, Num 11.jpg was flagged with a resize note (downsized bodybuilders? There's a joke there somewhere.), but evidently was fine for fair use, at least after it was resized. I'm cool with that, glad the file will survive, and should a reader want the full resolution they can find it elsewhere on-line. File:Muscular Development 1991 January Vol 28, Num 1.jpg on the other hand, has been flagged as not qualifying for fair use and the stated reason is that the article had too many. (apparently the straw that broke that camel's back) My intention certainly wasn't to flood the article with a zillion images, but rather to include some modest (100 pixel wide) images that showed the two covers with Max Rep as referred to in the article, and I would hope the different purpose of those two covers (Max Rep covers versus a typical example of a MD cover) would make their use acceptable. But then again, rules are rules.

To my surprise the other day File:Victor Martinez.jpeg appears to have been deleted and removed from the page. I thought I somehow indirectly caused that with my adding of two additional images (in no way my intention), but amazingly, searches suggest that the file was being considered for deletion several days before I uploaded the Max Rep covers. So was that file's deletion a coincidence? Should it have been deleted independently of my actions, then given the deletion criteria for File:Muscular Development 1991 January Vol 28, Num 1.jpg of "Too many FU images in article. It only needs one.", does the removal of File:Victor Martinez.jpeg "make room" for both it and File:Muscular Development 1993 November Vol 30, Num 11.jpg? Though the fully illustrated cover with both Max Rep and Quadra Blu is of much greater importance, it would be ideal for both covers to be kept, though I should add that I in no way would want their presence in the article to prevent future images (cover images that are truly fair use) from being added.

BTW, can, according to fair use criteria, File:Muscular Development 1993 November Vol 30, Num 11.jpg be located in the Max Rep article as well? That's where I most would like to locate it, and will add it there if doing so is considered acceptable (along with File:Muscular Development 1991 January Vol 28, Num 1.jpg should it not be deleted) but I want to stick with the rules.

Why do you think you need more that one? Eeekster (talk) 07:06, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
Because to my knowledge there are two and only two to feature the characters. The 1991 cover was the first and the 1993 is the more significant of the two as it was fully illustrated and with both of the strip's characters (And looked better anyway.) Had there been more, like three or even several such covers, they would not be as notable and maybe only a single might have seemed more appropriate.Andrew Y.

You tagged the article for concerns a few minutes after it was created.[21] A fair assemement of a new article, but you did not notify the author.[22] Such happens, and I am not here to scold. What transpired though, is that six hours later,[23] it was nominated for deletion because it was not improved during the intervening six hours. I would ask that you take a look at the version you tagged and compare it with the one currently being expanded and improved and ask that you might perhaps wish to assist in its further improvement through use of available sources.

I resent having my work drive by tagged with little to no thought at all and told to wait around for some other interested party to stumble by, which could be months, when both the article as it stands and the articles writer (i.e. I'm not a newbie and probably know what I'm doing) suggests notability. jorgenev 01:50, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Please explain to me what is wrong with my article on Alexander Hausvater, I added references, a published book containing interviews with Mr. Hausvater, in which he tells his life story and I added links to pages in English that certify everything I wrote. I did not add sources in Romanian, since I didn't think it would be appropriate for the English Wikipedia... Thank you, Cristabilciu (talk) 20:42, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Swietlan Kraczyna

Hello,

After reading the instructions of how to incite, I am sorry, I cannot follow the technical side. i can only tell you I need a guideline to be able to follow the rules. How can I bring in sufficient proof of veracity, than what I saw personally. Justified and secure information about a person is hard to give. But that's what I want very much to do. But I don't know, like not knowing the language of wikipedia, when I started i thought an administrator helps out, I cannot formulate categories in this case, I can shorten the article, but a thing as important as his work being in the Uffizi in Florence, how to prove more or verify? It is a museum like the National State Gallery in Londen and I then think, everybody understands. But to prove or verify the etchings are indeed there? Yet, it would be a pity, sorry that this is my personal conviction, when this printmaking genius would be left out of the english wikipedia.

Fastrad

Hello, I created the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTRAD[[24]]. You added a suggestion of removal because you said it is written like an advertisement. I have removed as many words as possible that could mislead. But I'm open to other suggestions. When writing this article on a tool I use and consider extremely useful, especially in predicting the dangers of radiation, I considered other articles like: CATIA, Geant4, Creo Elements/Pro, Solid Edge, Autodesk Inventor, NX (Unigraphics), etc. These software are similar in some ways to Fastrad. Apparently, none of these are considered advertisement.

I am totally open to suggestions! New to Wikipedia, it took me two months to write the article and figure out how to post it correctly, so please be patient with me! (PS: I will be absent for 3 weeks, so I will only be able to take account of your remarks from Aug. 8th onward.) In any case, many thanks for all suggestions.

Robert Aiss

Hi, you listed my page for speedy deletion. Actually, Robert Aiss SHOULD be listed in wikipedia because, as an up and coming film director, I was curious to know who he was when he first got in contact with me. I googled him and I all could find was slanderous articles on ONE website. I took my chances and met up with him anyways and all the stuff written about him was FAR from the truth. He is the real deal and so far I've made numerous contacts in Hollywood and am now on my way to the top.

Robert has worked with many film Legends such as Otto Preminger and John Schlesinger and is only looking for TALENT. When he does find Talent, it's hard for that talent to see what they're getting into because of certain things written about him. There's is currently a defamation suite being filed against the person who wrote that stuff. So again, I'm speaking for myself and any future artists that he may find that this wikipedia page is definitely beneficial and SHOULD be available to the public. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_aiss — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xerxes Sangco (talk • contribs) 00:56, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Re: Mount Islip

I curious as to why you change the link style for the gnis link in your edit of Mount Islip. The peakbagger link is a cite web style link. I don't see the advantage of using a different style link for gnis. I changed it back to {{cite gnis}}. –droll [chat] 03:55, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Why? Because using the GNIS template is the standard way. Why would you change it back? Eeekster (talk) 03:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
I don't like to be contrary, but its not the normal way. External links, IMHO, should be displayed using a consistent format. The choice is between the format produced by the citation templates, such as {{cite web}}, {{cite book}}, etc., and links using the [URL text] syntax. While there seems to be no universal preference, there is MOS:CONSISTENCY. {{cite peakbagger}} generates a link using {{cite web}} as does {{cite gnis}}, while {{gnis}} uses [URL text] syntax. –droll [chat] 04:38, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I am working in my sandbox on the Un Techo para mi País summary page and trying to iron out the kinks before putting it on the actual site. I created both of these images.

Premiere Pro CS5 Screenshot

Hello, You added a template to the image I uploaded (Adobe premiere pro cs5 mac.png) and told me to make it a lower resolution. I understand, and will comply if required, but the reason I didn't originally do this, is that so many other screenshots are not in (what I see as) low resolution. Take for example:

File:Photoshopcs5.png

File:InDesignCS5win.png

File:Dreamweaver CS5 screenshot.png

File:C4dwindow.png


So, which of the following is correct?

  • Are these actually low resolution, and mine isn't?
  • Are you going to go through and put the template on these pages?
  • Is the resolution I uploaded the image in OK?

Not sure if this account is a robot, but if it's not, could you help me out with something? You (or a program under your control, or something) tagged File:1907 Lillian Wulff.jpg for deletion, but it's not clear why.

  • If it's a matter of the the file being under copyright, not clear how that could be since it was taken over 100 years ago.
  • If it's a matter of -- and I've run into this before -- the right hoops nob being jumped through in terms of the correct template being used on the page, could you um instead of deleting a perfectly good image for this reason maybe
    • add the template yourself, if you know what it is, or
    • if for some reason you're unable/unwilling to do this, at least use a deletion template that tells me where to go to get the right template to put on the page? It's all rather confusing finding the right templates.

The Ghosts of Mendez (The Tomorrow People)

You tagged an article I'm working on, The Ghosts of Mendez (The Tomorrow People) as needing inline citations and needing more references. This is an audio adventure and is largely self-referential. In comparing it to similar Doctor Who audios from the same company (i.e. Sirens of Time), I don't see where it differs other than the fact that it needs to be fleshed out more (which is what I'm working on). Please let me know what type of references you think it's lacking so I can improve it.

Speedy Deletion

Hi im not sure if this is the correct way to get in contact with you but you tagged one of my articles http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Klitch_(shoe_clip)&action=purge however I do not understand why as it is completely factual and fully unbiased. I would be very grateful if you could tell me how I can make the article so that it does not get speedily deleted, Thanks. Vamos124 (talk) 00:15, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Factual and unbiased isn't enough. Eeekster (talk) 01:17, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi, you flagged Full Compass Systems as an advertisement. I work for the company and am trying my best to make the article as unbiased as possible (against my supervisors best interests). I removed what subjectivity I could before creating the article but I am looking for any help or friendly suggestions to make this article completely neutral. Is it the writing style? Sources? About half of the sources are from newspapers or online audio publications, the other half are from the Full Compass website. Is there an issue there? Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Understandable. I'm trying to be as transparent as possible while speaking from the most unbiased point-of-view. What can I do to bring in other neutral confirmation of the facts in the article? Are the listed sources considered not credible? I'm really just seeking guidance on how to fix the issue in making the article truly encyclopedic. Grantmg2 (talk) 05:33, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Bsr template

Hi Eeekster,

You've tagged a number of my album cover uploads with the Bsr template recently, and you left a message on my talk page with the most recent. Can you explain why the template applies to album covers? Such images are not always borrowed from the internet; they can be scanned from the actual item. Futhermore, these images are being used under the most restrictive license. I would guess that the template is normally used when it's suspected that a user is misrepresenting the copyright status of an image to avoid deletion...

Speedy removal Invantive Estate

Hola Eekster,

I just made a page for Invantive Estate and see that you tagged it for speedy removal.

I was trying to write an objective article on this product. I avoid to use advertisement slogans and summarized the features of the product.

Can you help me by telling me what i should do to inform objective by giving me some clues.

Looking forward to your reaction.

Best wishes, Jan

PS

The reason that I tried to write this article as I was trying to get the product in the project management software comparison table.

I feel it should be there as the product is sold many times in the market and pretty successful.

After I put Invantive Estate in the table it was removed as it doesn't have a reference as an article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janve (talk • contribs) 23:56, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Possible tag contradictory to Autoreplaceable

Just a thought, but I see you tagged this image as DI-F4 no license. Referring to the first version of that page, I'd note that "Autoreplaceable fair-use" is labelled as a license from the upload menu, despite simultaneously being a deletion tag. It would therefore appear that {{Di-no license}} and {{Di-no source no license}} are not necessary. With the additional exception of {{Di-replaceable fair use}}, the other DI-nonfree tags are suitable to use with Autoreplaceable. mechamind90 05:44, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

While I appreciate your diligence in maintaining accurate information, in this case you are protecting inaccurate in formation. Perhaps I should have provided an explanation with my original edit however minor it was. I am curious why you chose to revert my edit.

I am a long time Forest Service employee and I wanted to correct the misstating of the agency name US Forest Service, Inyo National Forest by using Inyo National Forest Service. The author combined the agency name with the forest name but in doing so, created an incorrect name. The agency is rather large, in order to accurately describe the agency and the location, it is necessary to state the agency and the national forest. The full name could read USDA Forest Service, Inyo National Forest or US Forest Service, Inyo National Forest or even Inyo National Forest. In this instance, I chose US Forest Service, Inyo National to accurately reflect what I thought was the original authors intent. Hoops44 (talk) 06:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of DigiCULT Page

There was an entry in wikipedia for an initiative in the cultural heritage: DigiCULT. This entry was recently deleted (July 2011). The reasons for the deletion would have been quite easily addressed. So if I believe that the DigiCult entry in Wikipedia was deleted in error and that the reasoning that lies behind its deletion could easily be addressed, what can I do to have the entry reinstated. After the page is reinstated I will make the necessary amendments providing evidence of the long-term impact of DigiCULT and it is significance to the cultural heritage community.

Speedy Deletion of Harris Media LLC.

Greetings!

I would like to cheerfully contest a recent nomination of a "Speedily Deleted" page that I wrote earlier this afternoon, labeled Harris Media, LLC! First, let me start by saying these deletions are a great practice of perfecting the art in article writing and actually become quite enjoyable after a few times.

Anyhow, I understand there is a lot of talk about advertising and business in the article I've written, however, I feel that the topic is relevant to the firm in ways other than their services. My use of references was poor, however again, the .pdf reference listed was relevant to all topics referencing. I understand the concern, but I think this page should pass for a legitimate article deemed fit for the world's largest online encyclopedia.

I look forward to your response!

LibandJustice (talk) 03:17, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Photo release

File:I AM EQUAL photo - participant1.jpg I'm quite new to adding articles, so maybe I don't fully understand the complexities of uploading and using images on Wikipedia, so I could use some clarification. I would like to upload and use images from the I Am Equal Photo Documentary (http://photos.iamequalproject.org) for the article. I have spoken with the photographer and project creator, and they assure me that the images can be posted anywhere (as evidenced by the many news articles, blogs, and social networks). When I uploaded some previously, they were instantly deleted. I thought perhaps it was because they were of celebrities, but now this new photo (File:I AM EQUAL photo - participant1.jpg) has also been flagged. I know it can be published and shared (as that's the point of the project), so what am I supposed to do to get them into the wiki system and accessible by the article? your advice and expertise is greatly appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steinway1701 (talk • contribs) 03:04, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

The last upload of yours I looked at had a license tag that claimed the work as your own. That's not at all accurate. Previously you had uploaded the images claiming them to be the work of the photographer and pointing to his site as the source. His site claimed all rights reserved. You also said that only non-commercial use was allowed which is not compatoble with with Wikipedia. So nothing you have provided so far substantiates any claim of a public license.

Orphan: I Am Equal (photo documentary)

An orphan template was added to the I Am Equal (photo documentary) article (I totally agree) but when I went out into Wikipedia to add the appropriate references to the campaign (i.e. Chelsea Handler, Jabbawokeez, Ralph Becker, Kevin Johnson, etc) some other admin removed them all citing "promotion." I'm confused (probably because I'm new to this) as to why one admin would tell me to add links and the other would follow me around the site and remove them all. I created a new article (because Chelsea Handler mentioned the her participation on her Facebook Page and the front page of her website and I was curious to learn more) about a relevant and noteworthy project and used a ton of references to support it. Then I went to the articles of associated participants (referenced in the main article) and added a reference to their involvement in the project (and even attempted to include the actual photo from the campaign in support of the additions). Now all of those references and links have been removed by one single admin (Fut.Perf.) and the article continues to be "Orphaned." I would really appreciate some insight on this. How can I resolve the orphan issue if a single admin is removing all my links and references (and challenging all the images I upload)? I'd like to be a productive contributor to the Wikipedia community, but this is proving complicated and convoluted as each admin seems to work from their own set of rules, unilaterally making decisions and edits without discussion or debate. I like that some of the admins just jump in a resolve formatting and reference issues (such as reference and citation oversights I made in my ignorance of building the article) to maintain the style guidelines of the site...but I get confused by other admins that seem to make their own rules. You're obviously experienced in the ways of Wikipedia and I would appreciate some guidance on this. Steinway1701 (talk) 20:40, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

There are many references to this person online which in my opinion indicate that he meets notability criteria and in fact should be in the English-language Wikipedia. Regards, THFCPrideofLondon —Preceding undated comment added 23:39, 27 August 2011 (UTC).

AFD on Ben Flanagan

Please don't remove AFD tags 6 minutes after they are added to an article. Some folks don't have automated tools and the AFD was finally created 2 minutes after you removed the tag. I've relisted the AFD and restored the tag to the article.--v/r - TP 01:41, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Please don't add an AFD tag if you haven't an AFD going. Create the AFD first and then tag the article. Eeekster (talk) 01:42, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
You are welcome to propose changes to the procedure at Wikipedia:AFD, but until then new users will continue to follow them in numerical order which says to tag the article first. Why are you defending such an obvious and somewhat minor mistake? For the record, I didn't AFD it.--v/r - TP 01:45, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Apparently, when I try and click on the source for that image (Google search easily finds it), the site itself has 404'd temporarily. In any case, it should already be good as far as the non-free licensing and rationale are concerned. –MuZemike 08:30, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

sound files

Hello! You seem to be a helpful type when it comes to new files and I can't seem to find relevant guidelines so I thought I'd ask you.

I was thinking about uploading an excerpt from a 2010 edition of the Giant Bombcast in which the editors discuss being quoted in The New Yorker when talking about Assassin's Creed II. It's a 2 minute excerpt and I'm not sure if it's too long or acceptable content on a Wikipedia page for that matter, can you shed some light on the subject? --FLStyle (talk) 16:00, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Image size reduction

Hi there. You recently tagged a file with {{non-free reduce}} or {{reduce}} that was, in fact, within acceptable size for fair use images. Standard practice places the maximum size at 160,000 pixels, which is 400x400 in a square image. However, 500x320, 600x266, etc. are also 160,000 pixels, and are acceptable. DASHbot, the program that does almost all image resizing, actually won't even bother with files that come out to less than 160,000 pixels, so chances are low that the files will ever be reduced anyways. If you really want a file smaller than 160,000 pixels reduced, you can do it easily with the free program Paint.NET (what I use), or ask me directly.

Just letting you know for the future, Sven Manguard Wha? 13:45, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

  1. . You did not notify me on my talk page as stated in the template. Such a non-cooperative action is directly unhelpful and impolite. Respond, please.
  2. . The resolution was reduced by 4x. Is the resolution supposed to be so low that the text is unreadable? There is no guidance on this. Rather than reply, you forced me to seek clarification from other editors, when your direct response would have been helpful. Respond, please.
  3. . Source page now stated. Tag commented.

Per this [comment http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BlueSapphires&redirect=no]

Hi Eekster,

Four years ago, I spent about 2 working days 'getting' that copyright information, writing the school photo company (dialogue attached to photo) and making a lot of pixel-related information, vis-à-vis reasonable-use purposes (though the copyright holder had given clearance, anyways).

The extensive information I included with the photo in August 2007 was deleted. "just like that".

The copyright holder gave permission (it's the school photo company that holds copyright). I gave information as to their contact details, and they 'signed off' by email. So I'm frankly vexed that this Amyphoto.jpg keeps being deleted.

Can you please organize that it gets put back? I can't spend 2 days every year re-justifying the work I did. The girl's photo is desired online by the local community for crime purposes (at least that's what I was told in 2007.

Many thanks - BlueSapphires (talk) 12:37, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Better source request for File:CHRI-Logo.gif

I uploaded another version of this logo that seems to work better in an infobox, and gave the url of the page the logo appeared on rather than the url of the logo itself. Links rot. The logo image could be deleted, the page could be deleted or the page could be changed to use another image. Whatever happens there is no claim by Wikipedia that the copyright is owned by anyone other than the organization identified by the logo. I suppose there could be some question about whether Wikipedia is falsely representing the organization by using the wrong logo? Aymatth2 (talk) 00:55, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

STOP STALKING ME.

I am telling you one time...please stop putting your tags on all my images. Tom Danson (talk) 20:33, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

If you don't want the tags, just fix your sources. It's that simple. WP:HOUND does not apply. Eeekster (talk) 21:11, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
It's a POLICY...and you say policies don't apply. Please explain how that doesn't apply? Tom Danson (talk) 21:23, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
Have you read all three paragraphs at WP:HOUND? "Correct use of an editor's history includes (but is not limited to) fixing unambiguous errors or violations of Wikipedia policy, or correcting related problems on multiple articles. In fact, such practices are recommended both for Recent changes patrol..." If the tagging is consistent with policy, Eekster is doing nothing wrong. Monty845 21:26, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
Tom, Firstly, they are not "your" images. at the bottom of the page where you saved them was the text "By clicking the 'Save Page' button, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution..." You don't own your contributions to Wikipedia. That's why they are called contributions and posting them is called releasing.
Secondly, Eeekster recently tagged an image that I am rather fond of. Instead of complaining about him pointing out a problem, I and another editor started working on fixing the problem by getting the author to release the image under the appropriate license. Blaming Eeekster for identifying the problem is like saying "my drinking isn't the problem. Your complaining about my drinking is the problem." So drop the attitude, quit making unfounded accusations, and fix the problems Eeekster identified. --Guy Macon (talk) 21:49, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
My mistake, I meant to say the ones I've uploaded. However, Eekster's last several edits have been targeted at ME...and it really stresses me out. Tom Danson (talk) 22:24, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
I'm working through your edit history because of the systematic problems I'm finding. Why should that stress you out? So far every image I've looked at lacks a proper source and most fair use images are way large (in fact some are huge). These problems won't correct themselves. Tagging the large images causes a bot to do the reduction and the BSR tag alerts you and other editors to correct the source issues. Eeekster (talk) 22:29, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
But in most cases, the reduction makes the image's quality REALLY low, so much that it's barely visible (and you'll need a magnifying glass to see what that text is). Look, I can supply links in most cases, but I thought the goal of Wikipedia editors was to improve its quality, and you seek to diminish the image ones. Tom Danson (talk) 22:33, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
Reduction is policy and is a legal issue due to the images not being freely available. And certainly images such as File:KentuckyStickhorses.PNG don't need to be so huge. Eeekster (talk) 22:38, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
In any case, "too big" is pretty subjective...I don't see where Wikipedia lists a size limit (some of them are barely bigger than how they're portrayed in their Userbox). I think any image under 500px should be safe. Tom Danson (talk) 22:47, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
Do you see me tagging the ones that are barely bigger than their infobox display? Eeekster (talk) 23:00, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
Re: "Eekster's last several edits have been targeted at ME" When a Wikipedia editor identifies an issue, whether it be vandalism, spam, COI, a typo, or a copyright/sourcing issue, that editor is encourages to not only address the problem in the one article, but to do a quick check of the contributor's edit history and address any similar problems. That's the way Wikipedia works. Make a mistake on one image and it gets tagged. Make a mistake on a bunch of images and they all get tagged. Nothing personal, just someone doing what he has been encouraged to do. Re: image reduction, it is a requirement for using non-free images under fair use. Legally, Eeekster does not have a choice. Any further complaints about image reduction should be taken up with the Wikimedia foundation.
I strongly advise you to stop accusing Eeekster of stalking, targeting you, etc. when he is clearly acting correctly and within policy. If you continue doing it I will report you myself for harassing him. I also strongly advise you to fix the issues with the images you have uploaded where you can, withdraw them where you can't, and figure out a way to insure that future uploads will not require any extra attention to make them compliant with Wikipedia's standards.

Screencast for new NPP tool design?

Hello. This is Ian Baker. I'm a developer over at the Wikimedia Foundation.

tl;dr: We’re designing a much-improved UI for NPP tools, and we’re seeking guidance—and hopefully, screencasts of your NPP workflow—from expert New Page Patrollers like yourself. We’re asking for this so we can see (literally) what actions you take during patrolling which could be better supported through software.

I'm contacting you because, according to our statistics, you're a particularly active New Page Patroller on the English Wikipedia. Here at the WMF, we're working on a design for a much-improved NPP user interface. We hope that it will (as part of a larger strategy) address many outstanding issues in the article creation process, while also providing a more modern, streamlined and efficient UX for patrollers.

To do this successfully, we are relying upon the guidance of our most experienced patrollers. I'm sending this message to the ten most prolific patrollers in 2011, and a few other people who've been participating actively in this discussion.

Specifically, I'm hoping you can take a few minutes to record a screencast of yourself doing NPP. We're looking for a 10-15 minute session, but more is okay if you feel it's needed. Ideally, you'd first walk us through your process, explaining as you go, and then switch to doing NPP at your usual pace.

Our preliminary examination of this feature has shown that many experienced patrollers have evolved their own specially-tailored interface and workflow, often using external tools and plugins. Making an interface that works well will require understanding those tools and the motivation for using them. However, even if you haven't done that, observing your NPP technique will still be valuable, giving us insights into what factors inform your judgement, how you use the existing interface, and how long NPP generally takes an expert patroller such as yourself.

If you'd like to help, great! I've posted a set of instructions over at the relevant thread on the Article Creation Workflow talk page, which should get you everything you need to know. If something's missing or you have a question, post it there. That's also the place to go if you want to learn more about the reasoning behind this request.

I understand that people have differing expectations of privacy with regard to their own computer and voice. Therefore, you can either post this screencast publicly (place a link in the talk page above) or if you'd prefer, send it to me privately at ian@wikimedia.org.

Of course, any other input on this feature that you’d like to provide is also welcome. Don't hesitate to get involved in the discussion on the above-linked talk page, or contact me personally. I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks! raindrift (talk) 00:15, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Image licencing issue

Hi. Thanks for pointing out where I may have made errors in my addition to Wikipedia of a photo file. I searched for a file published under CC-BY-SA 3.0 specifically so as to avoid any licensing issues. Is the problem that you think the correct licence may not have been granted to merlin.wikia.com (source) by the user who uploaded the file there? My head hurts just thinking about this stuff. The source I found publishes all its content under CC-BY-SA 3.0 (unless otherwise blah blahed) so is it not fair to assume that all the while that are happy with the licencey thingy stuff, we can be? Prolly not :( I was just trying to help. I had a look to see if I could find an author name or contact but only found the uploader user name. Maybe I'm lazy or maybe I'm jaded (it's the latter but don't tell anyone) but I don't feel very much like getting into a wild goose chase right now. You seem very knowledgeable and efficient ;) Any chance you feel up to working it all out instead? -- fgTC 00:25, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Hi again. I changed the source URL to the file page at wikia.com. I checked the licencing info at wikia.com and it states that all content is available with CC-BY-SA 3.0 unless otherwise stated but I found no statement to the contrary. It can therefore by safely assumed that the source is free to use? Please help solve this. I'll learn from your example and get it right next time. Please :) -- fgTC 00:51, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Permissions for Uploaded Photo

Hi Eeekster, Dayglored here.

You flagged an image I recently uploaded: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bill-Owen-King-of-Trivia.png for permissions. I contacted the subject (Bill) and learned that the photo had been taken by his daughter (Carolyn Owen) in 1983 in their home. Carolyn has just submitted by email the permission form specified in the message I received from you. I have added the "OTRS Pending" tag to the photo description page, and also corrected the "Author" text in the Summary to include the fact that Carolyn was the photographer.

This is the first time I have been through this process, so please check what I have done and let me know if anything else is required. Thank you very much for your help and guidance. Dayglored (talk) 02:06, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

File:Rancid - Ruby Soho cover.jpg

I stated why I removed the {{Bsr}} tag on this file in my edit summary: I got the file from a google image search; It was the best version of this album cover that I could find with respect to meeting Wikipedia's size & resolution requirements. However, the url for the image redirects to a filesharing site that doesn't even have the image on it (here are the search results: it's the 5th image in the top row, click on it and you'll be redirected to this site), so all I can give is the direct link to the image itself (http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/9062/rubysohogscr.jpg). Neither of these, it seems, will satisfy the Bsr tag. In any case the specific URL is irrelevant, as this is an album cover and therefore the original source of the image is the album itself, or the record label. --IllaZilla (talk) 18:58, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

And yet all the page says is the image can be obtained from the label. That's not good enough for removing a BSR tag. Eeekster (talk) 18:59, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Because the cover can be obtained from the label (they even have a version online, but it's too large and of insufficient quality for our purposes). The record label is the original source for the album cover, regardless of any specific digital versions. They hold the copyright on it. Copyright is what the Bsr tag is supposed to address, right? As explained, it is impossible for me to give a URL that will satisfy what the Bsr tag is looking for. In such a situation, giving the copyright holder as the original source is the best solution. --IllaZilla (talk) 19:06, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Why is it so hard to give a link to a page with the cover art on it as requested? Eeekster (talk) 19:23, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Did you read my initial comment above? I can't give a link to the url where this specific digital version comes from, because for some reason it redirects to a filesharing/adware site. I got this specific image from http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/9062/rubysohogscr.jpg, but that's won't satisfy the BSR tag because it links directly to the image. Why is it so hard for you to grasp this? Are you suggesting that I just give a link to any page with the cover art on it, even if that page isn't where I got this specific digital version? Because that seems contrary to what the BSR tag is looking for in the first place. --IllaZilla (talk) 19:36, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
The purpose of the source is allow others to evaluate the copyright claims. Pointing to the page at the label would be fine in this sense; having nothing but a generic "go see the label" isn't. Eeekster (talk) 23:27, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman

Hey Eekster. Thank you for reviewing my edit and pointing out my lack of a source and too-large file. I have added the source as well as a much reduced jpeg of the poster. I am afraid I misunderstood the revert function and I accidentally reverted the image. Is there a way to undo that? I would also like to add a comment to the latest image of the poster. Is there something you can point me to that details how to do it? Or is it just impossible?

Anyways, thanks for your help and please let me know if I am not complying with any rules for uploading images.

File:VPC logo.jpg

Hi Eeekster, I spotted the note at the top of your talk page just now and realized you prefer to reply to queries here: didn't mean to annoy you with my talkback.

Thank you for your message about the copyright for File:VPC logo.jpg. I actually was provided with this logo by The Voter Participation Center, as the version on their website would be too long horizontally to be used in the infobox. This is an alternative version of their logo but is not featured on their website currently, although it is used for their Twitter account, so I'm not able to provide a Web page as you request (unless the link to their Twitter profile would be appropriate?). I hope that this is sufficient explanation of the source of the logo.

Also, as I've now replaced the .jpeg file with a .png version, here, would you be able to delete the .jpeg file? Thanks! Sylvanshine (talk) 15:15, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Resolution of non-free image

Hi there. I'm not new to Wikipedia, but I'm very new to the images. I've tried to read about policies regarding images, but there were quite a lot of rules and procedures. I tried to follow as much of them as I could, but in the end I really was hoping I was doing the right thing. I'm sorry that I messed up on the resolution on this image, and I noticed you made a banner that indicates that I should lower the resolution. How much should I lower it by? I just kind of confused. I didn't have to pay anyone for this image, and the software it's of doesn't cost anything either, but to my knowledge the image is not "open as in freedom" which makes it "non-free" I guess. Anyway, the whole reason that I went to the trouble of finding another image is so that people could actually get information out of it. The old one was super tiny/blurry and you couldn't read or see much of anything. What is the largest I can have the image? This doesn't really make a whole lot of sense, so if you could explain a bit I'd appreciate it and I'd be happy to follow through with whatever you recommend. In the meantime I'll continue to fix the text on the Folding@home article. At least that's relatively easy to work with. :) Thanks. Jessemv (talk) 04:34, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Folding@home images

Hi Eeekster, I'm making a new section since it appears the original one was archived. Anyway, I'm humbly requesting your expertise in how to handle image permissions and whatnot. I've been putting significant amounts of effort into the Folding@home article, and one of the outstanding items that remains is to resolve the image permissions. I've read up about licenses and whatnot, but I'm a little shaking on the protocol and was hoping you could help. It seems Wikipedia is pretty serious about copyrights, so I feel a bit over my head. I can handle text just fine, but images I'm fairly new at. The images in question are on the Folding@home article, and I asked for permission for some of them here. Vijay Pande responded, and he definitely has the authority to say things one way or the other. I'd like to know if his answer was adequate and how I should apply it. I've been told that I don't need his permission for screenshots of software, but I'm not sure about that. I would appreciate any and all advice you have regarding what I should do. Also, it looks like the bot has not reduced the size of the PS3 screenshot, so I may have to do that myself. Again, what's the maximum size I can make it? Awaiting your advice, Jessemv (talk) 03:45, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Please stop removing the deletion tags. The file isn't licensed for use on Wikipedia. Eeekster (talk) 04:12, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
You changed the deletion reasoning in your latest tag. I have to ask again, the image is clearly marked on Flickr as being under cc-by-2.0 Creative Commons license, but even so it's not licensed for use on Wikipedia? Dreadstar ☥ 04:15, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
No, it is not so marked. The license isn't compatible and if you continue removing the deletion tags, you risk being blocked. Eeekster (talk) 04:16, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Yes it, on the lower right hand side of the Flickr page the image is on, there is a "License" section that says "Some rights reserved", if you click on that link, it is linked to Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 Generic (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0). Dreadstar ☥ 04:20, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Now that I've looked into the cc licensing, I understand why that particular cc 2.0 license isn't compatible with Wikipedia; but I must say that you could have been much more helpful and informative with a simple explanation - and saving the threats. And the Wikipedia instructions on the subject aren't very helpful either, they actually seem to contradict themselves. It was a very unpleasant experience stemming from a good faith attempt to add and provide licening information, thank you for that. Dreadstar ☥ 05:34, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Empty weight for stages in the rocket info template

While browsing the Saturn V article, I noticed that the S-IVB empty mass was circa 90% of the gross mass (obvious error).. I corrected the article, then checked the S-IVB article, and noticed that no empty mass was even given there..

This seems to be a shortcoming/error in the "{{Infobox rocket stage" template, to not allow for the empty mass and gross mass fields. IMHO this is interesting and important information, so I would like to change the 'Infobox rocket stage' template to allow for Empty Mass to be specified. However, I am a little reluctant as I am not sure how to do it, or what ramifications it might have in other articles Could someone comment, provide advice/help, or add the Empty Mass field?

I also notice that the 'Infobox Rocket' uses the 'convert(.. lb kg' syntax, where 'Infobox rocket stage' has the manual 'alt-xx' syntax, and I wonder why convert is not used for both.

Being "obvious" doesn't satisfy policy. State where you got the image and make a rationale if you don't want it deleted. Eeekster (talk) 08:02, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Look at the very bottom of the article the Glyptapanteles image is from (not the linked page, which takes you directly to the image itself). You can also click on the Promachoteuthis images on their Tree of Life Web source page, and the licensing is shown below them.

Welcome to Lovelock, Nevada

I've just disputed your nomination to delete the Welcome to Lovelock image for the following reasons given on the template: Editor cannot take photo himself since he lives in U.K. and the article is about a town in the U.S.A. Nor are there freely available images online. Of the two possible alternatives, the welcome sign is difficult to read on one - Ken Lund's image at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kenlund/2635180027 - while Judy A. Mosby's very legible image at http://www.panoramio.com/photo/18299643 was taken at night and gives no sense of the town to which one is welcomed. It is further disputed that a written description of the sign would be sufficient; the image is used for its contextual significance (rationale 8) as one example of several others mentioned in the text.

If you know of free sources of a suitable alternative, I'd be very grateful if you'd let me know. The image is important to the article and fair use was not claimed lightly. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 08:52, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Lack of known sources doesn't make the image fair use. Eeekster (talk) 20:08, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Then why did you cite availability of other sources as a reason for deletion? Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 23:20, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Because anybody can drive there and take a picture. Fair use isn't applied just because it isn't convenient to do your own. Eeekster (talk) 23:24, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

I have a sort of cousin in Arizona who offered to take photos if he was ever in Lovelock, but he was pretty busy last time I heard from him.

CisDavidBlack (talk) 10:03, 8 November 2011 (UTC) Hi sorry, I never read the rules on your talk page. However, Me and my Group members have contested the deletion of 'The Nerd Machine' as it will be a completed Factual article on our project which is about 'The Nerd Machine' This is not a promotion it is writing an article about the workings of a Community and the man behind making it happen. 'The Nerd Machine' will be at comic con this year and next which makes it beneficial to have a wiki page about it, so it'd be massively appreciated if you undid the Speedy Deletion. Thank you.

Replaceable fair use File:William_Anthony_Artist_Portrait.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:William_Anthony_Artist_Portrait.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please remove the tag.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Closedmouth (talk) 18:15, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

I would cite MUSICBIO No. 5, which is because he has released two albums on a major Chrisitian record label Sparrow, and it does not specify it has to be individual or compilation albums.

In this diff he continued to editwar revert after being blocked on the previous IP (refer to article history) [29]. Though the article in question is now protected but the real issue was of personal attacks at different places including the AVI page and my talk page. Since he's already blocked does it call for a range block for block evasion? (he'll keep coming back otherwise with his personal attacks). --lTopGunl (talk) 23:35, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

but i LIKED Nandy-Cline

Hi Eeekster - just looked at my talk page (first time in awhiles) and saw the thing on the rapid deletion of an article on Nandy-Cline. Now, I didn't write that article (I don't think), nor did I edit it (I don't think) - there's nothing on my "my contributions" page about it. I don't even remember reading it <g>. HOWEVER there must have been some connection, as I know what it is, and I miss it existing! (It's on my watchlist, although I don't recall how it got there.) To my best recollection, it is a (fictional) planet in the (fictional) Federation of the Hub, the space-opera setting for many of the science fiction stories and novels of the author James Schmitz. His novel The Demon Breed takes place entirely on Nandy-Cline, and there are also a couple short stories (which I could dig up, given some time) which take place there. Nandy-Cline is of interest for two reasons. First, the protagonist of The Demon Breed (could find her name if I work at it) was born and raised there, and she is a terrific very early example of a (quite rare, at the time) strong female protagonist in science fiction literature. (She also appears in one or two short stories, also set on Nandy-Cline.) Secondly, the planet itself was a terrific portrayal of a predominantly water-covered world, with many novel and fascinating concepts ensconced in its (fictional) biology. As part of the canon of James Schmitz's work (not, in my estimation, adequately documented in wikipedia), I think an article on Nandy-Cline would be of interest to the larger community, and I therefore would like to request possible reconsideration of its unfortunate rapid deletion. Thanks. Lanephil (talk) 04:56, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Serra Fox1.jpg

I'm sorry to be so helpless, Eekster, but I can't understand why you claim there is no information about source and authorship for this file. There was no special box to add this on the upload form, so I added the information to the description of the picture, as #3 requested. Where should I have put it? Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 22:23, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Okay, now you have a source. But perusing that source I find the license there is not compatible with Wikipedia policy and is not the license you tagged the image with. Eeekster (talk) 23:31, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

During this last week I've been in touch with the photographer on this issue and we discussed what license would be most appropriate for English WP. He thought Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic would do the trick but when I uploaded I saw a notice I thought was saying that this was now equivalent to Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported. Should I ask him to change to that? He would be prefectly willing. & while we're at it, do I need to add a fair use statement for that kind of licensed image? I really want to get it right. There's a second article, on the sculpture itself, backed with the same image and another from the same set, that I want to write. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 00:03, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

The "NonCommercial" part of that is the problem. Eeekster (talk) 00:04, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
You're probably going to need that in writing. So perhaps the photographer should make a notice on the Flickr page that he releases it under said license. Otherwise we have no way of knowing whether you just picked that license at random, or if it actually is valid. I'm not sure the proper way into linking to the photographer's writing about the license, but probably the easiest solution is to just make it somewhat obvious in Flickr.

Hi Eekster. I was wondering if help me submit this photo [30] in a manner which is acceptable to wikipedia policy.

File source problem with File:Tringa hysa.jpg

Replying for (talk)

The file uploaded: File:Tringa hysa.jpg already has the source written. The source is FACEBOOK. I took the image from the persons profile pictures and I dont understand how should I put a link to that photo (to the source) when you know that you cant view that image due to that you are not friends ???

And I just wrote earlier that she allowed me herself to share her photo in wikipedia and anyone can use it thats why I used the license cc-by-sa-3.0 What if FACEBOOK is not acceptable by wikipedia, can I upload the photo in flickr or somewhere else and then (add the sorce) add the link to file. How should I fix it, I really dont get it ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Altin.ukshini (talk • contribs) 22:57, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

You listed "Facebook" as the source. That's a wee bit on the vague side and doesn't allow anybody to confirm the license claim. Eeekster (talk) 23:33, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
You can try to supply the link to the photo thread in Facebook. It should still be viewable, just not modifiable by outside people. Facebook does not comply with WP:Reliable Sources anyways. I don't know if this applies for photos. I guess if it's your own work or friend's that given you permission, I guess anything goes as long you provide a reference as to where you got it from. Open the Facebook photo thread and copy the web address at the top. Paste it in here as your source and paste it on this talk page to see if we can see the thread. I recommend doing that and making a decision from there.—cyberpower (Talk to Me)(Contributions) 23:38, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
If you "took the image from the persons profile pictures", why do you claim yourself as the author? Eeekster (talk) 23:44, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Carrier IQ is back up, quite rightly.

Do I have to say, in my description, that I got it from their site? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Apacheble/My_sandbox jessimath

You have to stop stealing, i.e. you have to stop uploading screen captures of websites. It's a violation of copyright and if you continue to do it, you will be blocked from editing. Eeekster (talk) 08:08, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

As helpful as that statement IS, that doesn't tell me what to do to FIX IT. I would like to pass this class and never edit a wikipedia article again. Then we can both be happy. SO do I have to say what website it is from in the description and give them credit for the UI, or do I have to request permission from the website that has yet to get back to me? I understand it is THEIR information, but will a simple citation suffice? At least until my TA sees it? I acknowledge that I do not own the material and am simply altering. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JessiMath (talk • contribs) 08:12, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Help!

Eeekster, you recently posted some questions on our article- Engin Akyurek

We have tried to include all the references we have found, and frankly, our biggest issue is that we find Wiki so incredibly confusing to use.

All the pictures we have posted have been from open sources such as the TV station on which this actor's show is on- KanalD in Turkey. Other shots are screen shots from the show's scenes, that viewers have sent to us.

I don't know how to get permission from KanalD, because their site provides the pictures to the viewers- we have referenced the site as KanalD for many of the pictures

Viewers send us screen shots from the show's various scenes, which they have cropped and enhanced.

We have uploaded some of these pictures, as well.

Please help us, because we really would like to get information about this actor on Wiki in English- it is included in Viki, in Turkish.

Engin Akyurek is an actor in Turkey, who is very popular in Turkey, in the Middle East, the Balkans and many EU countries.

thank you.

Infuzein (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:17, 9 December 2011 (UTC).

Well, Eeekster, please don't get grumpy and revert back to your old edits! I don't understand the questions, and Wiki is incredily confusing for us If you are one of the administrators, we would sincrele appreciate any guidance or help that you can provide to us.

You had left this on our talk page-which I just discovered- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Engin-Akyurek-1-500x333.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1

But, looks like the item in question is already deleted. We are tyring to create a page on Engin Akyurek, a Turkish actor, and we are only including pictures that are found publicly, and have included all the references, but really don't understand how we can get the copyright information? For example, some of the pictures are from KanalD, a Turkish TV station- they upload the images of the show a couple of days prior to the show airing, and it is for consumption of everyone. Do we need to contact the TV station to get permission to use the pictures?

Some of the actor's fans have made screen shots of from the show, which they have then edited and sent to us. Who do we get permission from?

Please help, because we are trying our best to make this article as clean as possible, and we sincerely respect copyright infringement issues.

We are also afraid that the article will be deleted, and we have spent an incredible amount of time working on this.

Thank you.

Caffenol

The Caffenol page is a work in progress and as such I would request that I be allowed to finish writing it before it is edited by others. I have already had four edit conflicts! I am attempting to share what I know, and am trying to do so in the best way that I can, but if there is a better way to create a page, please let me know. The method I am using is the only one I know (i.e. write, save, write, save...) Thanks - Ken (DrWhatIKnow) — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrWhatIKnow (talk • contribs) 02:28, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps you should consider drafting the article in user space first. Please don't remove maint. templates. Eeekster (talk) 02:31, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

With regard to my "Personal Note" section and your removal of it from the Caffenol page. I wrote that section to establish the intent of the article and as it's author I feel I have a right to comment on my creation. I do not appreciate it's removal in the manner in which you did. I did not offer it as an encyclopedic or other text, rather simply as my comments on the material. I will not restore it to the page as I understand your intent, but I take offense at it's removal since it was intended as a statement of the general flavor of the alternative photographic movement - reproduced here:==A Personal Note On Sources And Informational Content On This Page== Photography is both an art and a science, and as such, many of the practices, knowledge and techniques of photography are without encyclopedic references and exist, instead, as 'community practices'. Without a governing body, or a codified set of practices, the arts are often developed through the open and free communication of ideas and concepts. That is the purpose of this page, to provide a framework for the understanding of Caffenol in it's context as an alternative process. As such, this page is and will remain a work in progress. It is compiled from years of experience in photographic and scientific experimentation and is offered as an introduction to the world of personal experimentation in the field. I have sought to provide as many references as possible, but in the field of alternative photographic process there are few unified sources, so the sources provided serve as a springboard to further research and investigation. Although some would argue that blogs are not reliable sources, the sources which I have used herein are used based on the principle of statistical correlation of content (i.e. they are chosen because the represent the majority of the community knowledge in the subject). Therefore I would encourage other Wikipedia authors to READ and UNDERSTAND the CONTENT and PURPOSE of this page rather than simply dismissing it on the basis of it's sources. Further, I should state again that this is a work in progress and that I will continue to refine and add to this page, and would encourage others to do so in a constructive and amicable way.~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrWhatIKnow (talk • contribs) 07:39, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

I Lynnbwilsoniii (talk) created these PDF files, which are Wind spacecraft publication lists. There are no copyright issues here, as all the information is completely open and free to the public.

Can you explain why this file and none of the other 15 was flagged with a copyright issue? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lynnbwilsoniii (talk • contribs) 03:45, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Why? Because I thought one was enough for now. Doing just one saves me work and allows you to explain in the discussion, if you can, why they aren't subject copyright. Eeekster (talk) 03:51, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
I am the Wind spacecraft deputy project scientist, currently at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The PDF files are nothing more than a compilation of publications that used (directly or indirectly) data from one of the Wind spacecraft's suite of instruments. These lists were compiled for PR purposes and for the upcoming senior review in 2013 (available to the public at: http://wind.nasa.gov/). All references were compiled using Google Scholar and NASA ADS (BibTeX references). As Wind was part of ISTP and funded by NASA, it is subject to the Freedom of Information Act as well. Therefore, all of its data is publicly available at CDAWeb. Regardless of how I obtained the information, I fail to see how a list of publications from a ~17 year old spacecraft can be, or needs to be, copyrighted. I already have all of this information available on NASA's Wind spacecraft page at: http://wind.nasa.gov/bibliographies.php . Is this a sufficient remedy?

Jumping the Gun

Hey Eeekster. I don't often do this, but I figured I'd say hello. You've been around plenty long and have contributed plenty to WP. In the last couple days I've seen you react a little too swiftly for my liking in regards to media uploads and also nominations for deletion. Editing WP is a multi-step process. You don't always get things right the first time around; it often takes multiple edits to tweak your work to something that follows policy and contributes in the manner intended. WP:AGF always applies and as an outside observer, I think both the editors and yourself would benefit from slower reactions and more constructive advice, rather than tags. Slapping speedy deletions onto new articles certainly doesn't make the individual feel welcome to contribute further. Feel free to discuss, but just wanted to drop a line. Happy editing. --Slazenger (Contact Me) 04:24, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

I disagree. Come back and discuss attitudes when you've done a few thousand hours of new page patrol. Eeekster (talk) 04:49, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
You're as welcome to disagree as I am welcome to attempt to give you an outsider's view of what I've come across. We all operate in our own ways, but we can still benefit from discourse. Time allows us to gain experience, but it also causes us to stray from the path at times. There are multiple ways to interpret what you said, but if you're saying if I had that much time patrolling I'd have a different view - I think you're mistaken. Everyone deserves chances and the majority of editors need a helping hand (even many experienced editors). No editor is perfect. Again, I wish you the best. --Slazenger (Contact Me) 04:55, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello Eeekster, can I just comment as someone who has done a fair amount of New Page Patrolling, although possibly not as much as you. As you know, patrollers are encouraged to start at the back of the queue. It can be terribly demoralising to a new or inexperienced editor to have their first article slapped with a speedy deletion notice 4 minutes after creation and while they are still working on it, as happened here with Alexander Street Baptist Church. The article was also inappropriate for an A7 speedy deletion. It was about a historic church building in Toronto and as you can see from the now developed article is a good contribution to Wikipedia. So yes, sometimes it is better to take things a little more slowly. I hope you will take this advice in the spirit in which it has been offerred.

Hello Eeekster, you deleted an image of a book cover on my info page despite having been informed the very next day that I OWN THE DESIGN AND COPYRIGHT. What don't you understand about that. Would you kindly replace it and explain yourself. Long Ben Every (talk) 11:43, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Images

Hello, I uploaded .jpgs of a series of paintings today and they were all marked for speedy deletion and I was even issued a warning. I am sorry I did not realize that I was doing anything wrong. I have the artist's permission to use these images and thought I met the criteria under which I tagged them. I would appreciate it if you could tell me what needs to be done to keep these images up and remove the tag for speedy deletion. Included in the images are FishFerrisWheel.jpg RedSocks.jpg FearfulSymetry.jpg SecretLifeOfTurtles.jpg GettingReady.jpg KeepYourEyeOnTheBall.jpg and TheFairerHand.jpg PaulLouisM (talk) 02:33, 8 February 2012 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:RedSocks.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1

Hello, kibitzing here. I looked at one of these files. A message there tells you: Unless a link to a webpage with an explicit permission is provided, or an email from the copyright owner is sent or forwarded to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, the image will be deleted after Tuesday, 14 February 2012. Well, you either:
  • (a) point to a web page by the copyright owner that explicitly says that the image is either (i) released into the public domain or (more likely) (ii) is appropriately copyleft; or
  • (b) get the copyright holder to write to that email address, saying either of (i) or (ii) above.

Thank You. I have contacted the copyright owner and he has e-mailed a waiver for each of the images to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Should I expect the image that has already been removed to be restored. PaulLouisM (talk) 03:49, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Does anyone know the best procedure for trimming the ears of the Copyright Police? At least one of them seems to be quite abusive. The Copyright Police exist to keep Wikipedia from being sued but they seem to be doing a much better job of keeping editors from doing their job. Is there a reporting procedure for them?Trojancowboy (talk) 22:23, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
Why can't you just do what needs to be done to keep an image? A quick look at File:Ghez9.jpg shows you haven't even put a license tag on the image. You also claim to have email permission but have been told that claim isn't enough. So instead of dealing with the issues you come here with personal attacks. The attacks won't stop the image from being deleted; fixing the issues will. Eeekster (talk) 22:29, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I understand, and it's a trap that I occasionally fell into during my very early days here. However, when reviewing articles we must remain neutral and do what the policies expect us to do, which includes both making minor improvements to those that will stand a chance of survival, but being firm and tagging for deletion those that almost certainly don't.

About the Image: Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg

Dear Sir,

With due respect, I would like to draw your attention to the following fact that about a couple of months ago I have created an Article on Wikipedia with the Title: Stefan Brunnhuber. The link to the Wikipedia Article is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Brunnhuber. On that Article, I have uploaded some images. All of them were deleted. One of the image was named as Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg. The Link to the image file is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg. Mr. Stefan Brunnhuber has personally contacted Wikipedia through Email and the Wikipedia Authority has approved the image called Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg with the Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg. So, I have re-post the image on WIKIMEDIA Common? Or is there anything else that you can suggest me to do. I would eagerly wait for your reply.

I, therefore, hope that you would be kind enough to give me a solution about the problem and oblige me thereby.

I remain, Yours Sincerely, Sourov0000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sourov0000 (talk • contribs) 17:50, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Backblaze Storage pod image

Hi, this is regarding a picture that was recently flagged by you and subsequently deleted by another: 07:52, 26 November 2012 Jimfbleak (talk | contribs) deleted page File:Backblaze storage partially assembled.jpg (F9: Media file copyright violation without fair use or credible claim of permission.) In the information section of the picture, I linked the original article, in which the author explicitly grant permission (and strongly encouraged) to general public to use his storage pod design. He provided detailed parts list, wiring diagrams, and assembly instructions to encourage anyone to build the design. The assembly picture was part of this instruction. Does it not fall under fair use context? Please let me know what I need to do to get that reinstated.

Ikuhiko Hata page

Dear Eekster,

Thank you for your message. Yes, I am trying to ensure that this entry is changed from its earlier version, which was an entirely one-sided and very inaccurate piece of publicity for Prof. Hata's work, to a balanced and accurate account. The revisions I have made recognise the praise some of Hata's work has received, but also recognize the fair and serious criticisms that have been made particularly of his recent highly controversial and questionable historical opinions. Please do compare the two versions of the page (the one written by Curtis Naito and the one that results from my most recent revisions). I think you'll understand what I mean. I am seeking to explain this view to other editors (and have just sent a message to one of the most recent, Deniarona, to explain). Please be assured that my revisions and those of other editors with similar concerns are not vandalism. They are the actions of historians with expertise in the field, who are trying to maintain historical fairness and accuracy.

Hi Eekster - CascadiaNow! Page and Advice

Hi Eeekster,

Thanks for your wonderful introductary message. I am hoping you might be able to give me some advice.

Earlier today, I created the article Cascadianow, which I think has some nice Wikipedia validity, but which was removed for A7, G11. I'd like to figure out the best way to either contest this decision, or recreate the article but in line with Wikipedia standards.

In regards to:

A7 - No indication of importance.

CascadiaNow is the largest organization promoting the idea of Cascadia. Over the past year it has been featured in : Anniston Star, Atlantic Monthly, Business Insider, Canadian Broadcasting Company, City Arts, Crosscut, Huffington Post, Humanosphere, KUOW/National Public Radio (Audio), National Journal, National Public Radio, Occupy Wall Street, Over the Edge, Pigsquash, PolicyMic, Portland Mercury, Post Defiance, Seattle Globalist, Seattle Times, Slate, Somewhere In Colorado, Swiss Public Broadcasting, USA Today, Vice, Washington Post. I don't have time to format reference properly, but I have included links at the bottom of this message to each of those.

All of these are verifiable third party sources.

G11 - Promotion

The format used for the article was copied from a very similar organization the Bullitt Foundation. The style and paragraph content was used almost entirely verbatim, so I am confused why one would be considered promotional, while the other would not.

Any recommendation you can provide for next steps to take, or ways to clean up the article so it's appropriate, would be wonderful!

Thank you so much, and look forward to being a part of the Wiki community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Happycowboy (talk • contribs) 00:05, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Although the Summary of "Media data and Non-free use rationale" displays a space for "Author or copyright owner" neither the Upload Wizard nor the edit function for the Summary allows such an entry to be made, which is why it seems to be missing... I assume that this is probably because the Description usually makes the ownership more or less clear (in this case: Logo of the Blue Stars Drum and Bugle Corps)... I would have gladly entered this information during the upload, had it been requested, but I have never had it requested when uploading a logo... I did add the URL to the Source line rather than just stating where it was found... GWFrog (talk) 21:17, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Question about using an image for biography

Hello,

I have a question about uploading an image for using it as someone's photo for their wiki biography. I just made Lorenz Studer's page on wiki the other day and it seems like the photos I am uploading to wiki commons are being deleted for possible copyright violations. Even if the image is not just exclusively found on the person's professional work page (outside of wiki) but found throughout various other places online, does that still mean that I am restricted from using it? How can one use such images for wiki purposes?? Thank you!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doe P Amine (talk • contribs) 01:46, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

The reason why I deleted it because it's already written on the "personal life" section that she and bieber had an on-off relationship from 2011 to 2014. (Bistymings (talk) 01:40, 13 October 2015 (UTC))

You need to actually say that in the edit summary. Eeekster (talk) 01:45, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I revised the page on Sharia because it gave some incorrect information about Islam. There are many documentaries created by Muslim scholars explaining Islam's view on several of the topics in the page, but the page itself gave incorrect information. I attempted to explain this in my edit summary, by there was an error and I was not able to leave an edit summary. I believe I have edited the page correctly, and do not understand why my changes are being undone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shifasabaat (talk • contribs) 02:28, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

John Jacobs (producer) image

Hi,

I have forward the email with the image sent from John Jacobs to the email address you gave me!

Thanks Jacquelyntwiki (talk) 20:35, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

I created those photographs. I am the photographer.

Kindly stop tagging my images for speedy deletion please. Yes, I have published them elsewhere, but I don't have time to track down all the links. Yanping Nora Soong (talk) 20:29, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Read the notices. Since the works are previously published with "All rights reserved" you cannot just publish them here with a different license. The notices have links to the procedure you need to use. Eeekster (talk) 20:31, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
I am the photographer. (Yanping Nora Soong) I can choose to publish them under a different license if I so choose. Also, I have uploaded my self-portrait photographs to backpage.com to use in personal escort ads, so it's not my fault if website aggregators pick them up. Yanping Nora Soong (talk) 20:32, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
We can't just take your word for that because the works have been previously published. Read the notices and do what they say or the photos will be deleted. Eeekster (talk) 20:33, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
Under the flickr account: it says "Yanping Soong". That is my name. What is the established procedure? You're not making it clear. Do I need to change the licensing on Flickr? That is extremely troublesome. Yanping Nora Soong (talk) 20:34, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
The established procedure is pointed to on your talk page. Please read what the notices say. Eeekster (talk) 20:36, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
I am the copyright holder. Yanping Nora Soong (talk) 20:37, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Also, the escort site you're linking to is simply a mirror of my backpage ad for NYC. I have extremely limited word space on that ad. Please involve administrators in this before you replace the maintenance template. Yanping Nora Soong (talk) 20:39, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

I don't make policy here. So there's no point in continuing to argue with me. If you read and follow the instructions pointed to in the deletion tags, everything will be fine. If you don't, the images will be deleted. Eeekster (talk) 20:41, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

I changed it to a speedy-the guy keeps on reading the page with a different spelling each time-check his talk page. Wgolf (talk) 20:47, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

I was planning to revisit the page after giving him a chance to add sources. But I really suspected I'd be tagging with A7. Should have checked his talk page. ;) Eeekster (talk) 20:52, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Could you add the photos yourself?

Could you add the photos yourself that I keep getting mine deleted the one with Steve OEdekerk, D.B. Sweeney? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ngh93 (talk • contribs) 22:41, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

No, they are licensed for use here. Eeekster (talk) 23:03, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

file deletion:

I contested the deletion of the file you tagged of the image file Allison Amend2.jpg on its Talk page, yet the file was deleted without any discussion. As I have said previously, the file is not not copyrighted. Why was it deleted without discussion after I contested it deletion? It should be restored immediately. JoePeschel (talk) 17:11, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Stating there is no copyright doesn't make it so. Eeekster (talk) 20:19, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

That's your response? You're kidding.

I have the permission of the owner of the file to use it on Wikipedia and anywhere else. The owner of the file is also the subject of the file. She's given me permission to use it. That's enough to use the file in any publication online or in print. What else do you think is necessary for fair usage on Wikipedia? JoePeschel (talk) 00:42, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

In that case you'll have to deal with OTRS. Eeekster (talk) 20:21, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

I have uploaded a new logo with what I believe to be to correct permissions. ThanksLG Brichetto (talk) 20:51, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

User talk:Mfhamil

Hi there! It seems when you added a template to User talk:Mfhamil, it propagated itself five times :) I restored the version with just one template, but you might want to check and see why it happened. Happy editing! Air ♠ Combat What'sup, dog? 21:45, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Looking at the edit history it doesn't appear to have been me. Eeekster (talk) 21:46, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
