Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Daphne, Alabama, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hurricane Danny (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Bernie Warren

Hi Jody This is Bernie Warren here ...one of mys students alerted me to your comments. First I hold the copyright to all the other links you mention except Arts Health Australia who I have repeatedly asked to take down the material they have up on their site about me (Moved by JodyB to the proper location on the pageJodyB talk 22:09, 20 November 2013 (UTC))

The copyright question is only part of the problem. In order to resolve that issue you will have to communicate with OTRS to confirm that you are who you say you are and to release the information in an acceptable license. But the other problem is whether your work rises to the point of notability. Not everyone and not every topic has an article here nor should they. I mean no disrespect when I question that about the article but that is the accepted standard in the Wikipedia community. JodyB talk 22:13, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

I am on my non-admin account at the moment because I am not on a secure site. But I will check the page again and get back to you. JodyB-open (talk) 02:34, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
Actually, I misread the CSD notice and thought it was a request from a user to delete in his userpage. It appeared to be nothing but sillyness and childishness and I, having misread the CSD deleted it. I should have looked closer and paid attention to the talk page. My apologies. If the user wishes it restored just have him ask and I will restore it. The page is not salted so he can recreate it if he prefers. JodyB talk 03:59, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi. A few fays ago I asked if you could block that IP user for his constant spamming/vandalism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive819#Vandalism

Here's his page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:23.241.51.168

Well he's come back and started to vandalize again after the block expired. I was wondering if you could block him for alittle longer since this is just purposeful and presistent vandalism with no regard for rules or conduct.Giantdevilfish (talk) 16:52, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Done. I might suggest you go back through the article and look for edits that might have gotten past your notice. He's blocked for a month. JodyB talk 17:11, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

PSIA article deletion

Dear JodyB,

On Nov. 15 you deleted an article on the Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA) on the basis of copyright infringement, citing the PSIA site, www.psialliance.org, as the copyright holder. This site has a Creative Commons license, which would allow Wikipedia to use material from the site. The PSIA site was also properly cited in footnotes.

Please restore the article, or allow me to restore it from my sandbox.

The PSIA, which is developing interoperability specifications for security equipment (e.g., surveillance cameras, employing badging systems) is similar to other standards groups working in specific industrial areas. An organization similar to PSIA, known as ONVIF (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ONVIF), has had an article on Wikipedia for some time.

Regards, Slavictechwriter (talk) 17:57, 25 November 2013 (UTC)SlavicWriter

I have restored the page, but unless you give it a fast rewrite to reflect its notability it will soon be deleted again. You must emply reliabe sources to verify the notability of the subject. just because it exists does not mean it deserves an article. JodyB talk 20:10, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

JodyB,

This is doable. Please give me a few days.

Deletion of Comparison of SSL certificates for web servers

I believe that in deleting Comparison of SSL certificates for web servers, you interpreted the consensus of the discussion incorrectly. First off, although I realise it wasn't a vote, there were three participants in favour of deletion and three in favour of keeping and improving the article. So, if it had been a vote, the outcome would have been a tie, which is manifestly not a consensus for deletion. But that aside, your "discounting" of WP:OSE was - if you check closely - a contradiction of WP:OSE; and your claim that the article was "obviously" a listing suggests not analysis of the discussion, but bias*. I believe that if you had based your decision upon quality of argument, you would have decided in favour of keeping the article. I would be grateful if you could therefore undelete it, to avoid any need for a WP:Deletion review. (*This is not a suggestion of bad faith; please see WP:TE if you would like confirmation that it is not.) zazpot (talk) 23:22, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your thoughts. I appreciate your message here. We disagree on the outcome. I stand by my decision. I will not delete it but I will not actively oppose your effort at a deletion review. I will of course answer questions if asked. My point regarding OSE is that just because there are other similar articles their existence does not necessarily support the existence of this particular article. As far as list v article that is not a bias and I do not assume bad faith. I have no bias for or against lists, articles, you, other editors or the subject generally. There was also a serious question of notability verified by independent reliable sources. I have no ill will toward you or anyone else. I just closed as I thought appropriate. JodyB talk 00:06, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. I was not suggesting you possessed a bias against lists; rather that your interpretation as an "obvious" list of what, to me, was an obvious comparative table, implies an obvious difference of interpretation. I see a clear distinction between the two formats, but you appear not to; and your not doing so seems to have biased your interpretation of the article such that you mistakenly concluded it was a list. As for notability, your claim that "notability cannot be established" is not supported by any evidence, and is therefore not a sound basis upon which to delete; moreover, the support offered by WP:OSE comes into play on this front. Anyhow, I, likewise, have no ill will; I merely feel the decision to delete was not justified by Wikipedia policy. I have requested a review (see below). zazpot (talk) 02:43, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kapampangan Development Foundation

This is clearly not a keep consensus. at best, a no consensus. It seems you have supplied your own supervote. can I ask why? LibStar (talk) 22:51, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your question. AFD is not about votes, it is about policy. But, if consensus was, as you suggest, "no consensus" then the article would have stayed anyway. But, as I mentioned in my close, there were two newspapers, at least one of which was at least a regional paper which carried what I thought was non-trivial coverage of the organization. It was clear also that the organization had an impact on the people of the area. True, the article is not well written and more sources could be brought to bear but of courser formatting is not a reason to delete. Again, thank you for your question. JodyB talk 23:49, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
It may be kept under no consensus but for the record no consensus is not the same as a keep consensus. LibStar (talk) 23:51, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
I don't necessarily agree that the consensus was "keep" but I will allow that one might reason that I should have said "no consensus" but isn't the end result the same? JodyB talk 00:03, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bilgehan demir

Hello, you deleted Bilgehan demir during the middle of an AfD with no rationale provided at the page history or at the AfD discussion itself. In addition, the same article is now bizarrely the subject of a "new AfD" - here. Please re-open the original AfD and allow discussion to run for a whole week or until consensus has been reached, as per standard protocol, or cite which Criteria for speedy deletion apply, deleting both articles. Thanks, C679 16:42, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

I actually ended up deleting the redirect which was created after the AFD was posted. I did not delete the actual article. Since the actual article is running at AFD as you mentioned I'm happy to let it run. I will make an appropriate note at the AFD. Totally my fault here. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. JodyB talk 17:17, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
I looked again and added an A7 note to the redirect deletion. I then looked again at the article itself and the current afd and speedied it also. If someone wants it usefied I am happy to do that too. If you think it should not have been A7'd please let me know that too. Thanks for pointing out my error.

Phyllis Dobbs

Hi, I'm supposed to be on Wikibreak so I won't give a long answer, but the AFD close (which was over five years ago, so you'll have to forgive my foggy memory) was to keep three articles and close the rest as "no consensus". I certainly wasn't opposed to merges happening, which to my mind seems the most sensible course of action, but there wasn't a consensus for any in that discussion. Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:13, 14 December 2013 (UTC).

Reg deletion of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demantra page in wikipedia

Ganesh Shankar Nagarajan (talk) 05:46, 4 November 2014 (UTC) Dear Jody,

I was trying to get information about Demantra and its versions. I could see that page has been deleted by your name. Below is the page link which I am referring to.

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

May I know, would it be available or the reason behind the deletion, as many people like me would try to access and get the information which was very much useful.

Thanks, Ganesh Shankar

05:46, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

I will take a look this morning. JodyB talk 11:05, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
I deleted the page in 2007? Wow. Hasn't been very important to you I guess. The page was deleted because it was judged to be spam. Wikipedia is not a point of advertising. The article offered nothing significant besides a promotion of the company. There was nothing which suggested that the company was notable. You may recreate the article but please be familiar with wp:n, wp:rs and other policies and guidelines. If you wish, please recreate an article in your user sandbox and I will review it and make comments for you. Thank you for your inquiry. JodyB talk 11:12, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm Happy to be Back!

After a sketchy hiatus, I am happy to be back at work on Wikipedia. There are few things I enjoy more than working on the encyclopedia but sometimes life is busy and requires my attention otherwise. I plan to ease back into my admin work and will probably spend considerable time lurking about the noticeboards before doing much. I will be away for about 10 days at the end of the month but otherwise I should be available. I am especially happy to help new users and look forward to meeting some new faces. JodyB talk 12:49, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Langone

Keep? Where can I contest this? - Cwobeel (talk) 15:09, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

  • Two choices I believe. If you think there was an error you can go to WP:DELREV. Otherwise you can renominate it later. I am curious however. Why so important to have it deleted? I've had issues taken to review before but I don't think I've had a "keep" taken there. JodyB talk 15:17, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
    • I also request that you review your close. The numerical consensus was delete (yes, I know, not a vote); of the keep votes 1 is blocked now, and none of the keeps provide any basis in policy. This is a BLP article sourced solely to associated sources (and one passing reference). --Tgeairn (talk) 15:22, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
      • I did not know someone was blocked. That could have had an impact but at this point I do not know. You are correct it is not a vote. However, counting you there were 5 to Delete and 5 to Keep. I discounted one Delete which was without basis (years since worked on). That left me with a close call and certainly no consensus either way. There were no BLP issues raised. It is not required that he meet the WP:ACADEMIC guideline as he may also qualify under WP:GNG. In my judgement, he passed. The question you raised, and was raised in the discussion, concerned whether he was too close to some of the groups that published him. I don't think so and it's certainly not self-published. In any case, I am not offended if you wish to go to deletion review. I have no dog in this fight. I will present there what I have just presented to you. Thanks for stopping by and all the best! JodyB talk 15:32, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
        • To clarify, I now see the person was blocked, unblocked and reblocked for harassing you. Are you suggesting their comments in the discussion was driven by that conflict? Their comments, even if you do not agree, seem to be on point. JodyB talk 15:38, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
          • I'll just AGF on that issue. I disagree with their assessment (the journals and such in this field are all very tightly interwoven and "peer" reviewed by one another). The editing environment around all of these anti-NRM people and articles is so vitriolic that I'm highly unlikely to bother with a review. If Cwobeel wants to, I'll endorse it though. Thank you for taking another look, and welcome back! Tgeairn (talk) 15:48, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

ARTHC Site

I have talked to other staff, and they put me onto you

I want to know WHY you deleted the Arthc site

I had fixed the problems and could not see any other.

ArthcGundagai (talk) 12:40, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

  • Thanks for your question. I appreciate your work on Arthc but there were some problems remaining with the article. Your article was suggested for deletion by another editor. I reviewed that request and concurred. First, the entity does not yet exist. It cannot be "iconic" until it comes into existence. Second, the article makes no claim of notability. Even if it did exist, that alone would not make it worthy of an article. Next, the sound of the article was very promotional, like something you would read on a flyer or poster. Our purpose is not to serve as a promotional vehicle. Finally, the article had no reliable sources to back the claims it made. There is no way to verify anything said in the article. It might be useful to read the following articles: Verification, Notability and Reliable Sources. Thank you again for your question. JodyB talk 12:50, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Close of Top Hat Trading AfD

I see your close as causing more work than it saves. There was one delete vote and one leaning vote. Your close degrades the AfD process, as it might as well be a speedy delete. You gave no justification. Please reverse your close. — Neonorange (talk) 02:08, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

  • Thank you for your question. Closing an AFD is not about counting votes. It is about evaluating both consensus and policy. If you wish, I will move the article to your user space so you can add appropriate sources. Once that is done it can be moved to mainspace. However, I must decline your request. Alternatively, you can ask that case be reviewed at deletion review. JodyB talk 02:33, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for your quick reply. Closing these things can't be a lot of fun. Mainly, I think you would have better served the encyclopedia by waiting. Clear consensus was not on the discussion page. The creator is almost certainly paid-COI. Better to have waited a bit for one more reply from the creator that showed willfull-misunderstanding of the comments (enough rope). Now I expect the a more subtle repeat. Restoration to user-space would be counterproductive; so was the close a day or two early. A suggestion for nest time—read between the lines. — Neonorange (talk) 16:04, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
I appreciate your thoughts. The central issue in my eyes was the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. I have access to LexisNexis and tried myself to find something that could be used. I simply saw nothing in the article and nothing in LN. I know there are mentions but just not to the depth that could sustain notability. I'm sure you know that the article can be recreated at any time when sources are found. I'll be happy to do the undelete myself if you will let me know. As for the nominator - I don't know him. If he's paid it will be shown in time. Thanks again for your comments and your attitude. It's always nice to find people that can disagree agreeably. FYI, I will be in the jungles (literally) from Monday until about March 4 and will not have access. After that, let me know if I can ever assist you. JodyB talk 16:27, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Thank you again for your quick responses, and especially for your offer of aid. I intend to take you up on the offer. I have some special interests, but am still looking for broader work in Wikipedia. Enjoy your trip—I've spent time in a few jungles. Be careful—and keep in mind that there are equivalents of poison ivy that won't look anything like what we have in the southern United States. I swear by calamine lotion. — Neonorange (talk) 23:20, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of Lee Min-ji

I don't know why you delete the above.

So, my question is, should I create one for Kim Heung-soo?

I have created Kim Heung-soo (actor) because there is another sportsman with the same name. So what now?

Thanks.--Jjaey (talk) 07:31, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

The Lee Min-Ji page was a disambiguation page which was unnecessary. It was unnecessary because there is only one article with that name. If you wish to prepare an article on Lee Min-ji you may. Just do not make it a disambiguation page. Disambiguation pages are only used when the same name or word could point to more than one article. As to the Kim Heung-soo (actor) page I see there is already a page for her, which you created. There is no such article for anyone else so a disambiguation page is not needed. Thank you for your question. JodyB talk 11:16, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Thanks for your review on Joejo but firstly i think the page is good togo as it is linked to some other website referencing him.

Secondly on the article 9janimi Channel i created, i see no reason why some frustrated people should be nominating my contents that i took time to prepare for speedy deletion, i search wikipedia everyday and i see some small articles that are not up-to-the contents of the 9janimi Channel... so i think should give it a look too and consider it.

Thanks Joe! Soltesh (talk) 22:30, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Cwobeel's trolling

I am not sure why Cwobeel is so blatantly trolling again - I left the latter trolling statement about "the royal we", but I removed the other because this is not helping the article's improvement and my patience for this user has gone to near zero after their previous BLP violations and disruptive behavior led me to AE. Cwobeel got sanctioned and Cwobeel still - to this day - does not understand WP:BLP at all - including WP:BLPSELFPUB which applies to Langone's own statements. He tried removing 2 of the 4 Langone sources (out of dozens which exist) in this edit. Now he is going and removing Langone's presentation of ideas and twisting words and actions to establish a clear POV.[2] It is irritating and I think Cwobeel is playing dumb - because the repeated blank and redirecting right after AFD is not "error" its disruptive. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 00:29, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Cwobeel is passionate on this topic but is not automatically bad. When the sources were removed, you reverted and no further attempt was made. The process here is best described as be bold, revert and then discuss. It's a little clunky sometimes, but it works in the long run. If you sense POV issues then discuss them on the talk page but focus on the edits and not the editor. One other thing, I will be leaving the country for the South American rainforests and savannahs early Monday morning. I will not have reliable access to the internet until March 5 or 6. Therefore, you will need to speak with someone else if acute concerns arise. Keep working, keep your cool and all will work out nicely. Thanks! JodyB talk 23:13, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
I don't have access to the specific library where much of the material written by Langone is being held, but I see numerous citations and such. I'll be watching, but I don't think I can devote several hours to fixing Langone's page - I'm just not that familiar with his work. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:50, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
@ChrisGualtieri: if you are not familiar, then let go and let others that do. You also need to go easy on your accusations, and look in the mirror. - Cwobeel (talk) 16:35, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
Mmmm... "look in the mirror"... what an appropriate response for someone who has been accused of using "the royal we" following the decision to keep an article after AFD and my personal reversion your blank and redirects following it. No matter that it comes on the heels of some 90+ citations in international publications. I do not share your concept of "non-notability" because it is clear that despite my inability to access Gale Research (for birthdate and education) you are not content with Langone's own biographical details from himself for such things and you removed 2 of 4 major publications out of the dozens he's written. There was absolutely no reason to do that other than reduce information in support of "merging". ChrisGualtieri (talk) 17:43, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Please guys, I am sitting at the gate in Miami about to head to South America for some time in the rain forests and savannah. I will not have internet and cannot contribute effectively to this discussion. Please take the discussion to the talk page. JodyB talk 17:58, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

...for taking care of the vandal. BTW, I see you're from Baldwin County. During my time in Pensacola, I visited Foley many, many times to shop and eat at Lambert's. I miss those throwed rolls. Cheers. APK whisper in my ear 14:40, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

You might not recognize it as it keeps growing. Lamberts is solidly booked every afternoon. I actually live Daphne but my sons love to go there for birthdays and such. If you ever make it back let me know, we can have coffee. JodyB talk 14:43, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the actioning on the impersonation incident I reported. I'm now wondering if there is any way to find out whether the reported account is a sock puppet of another editor? Tvx1 02:14, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Tvx11

Hi JodyB,

I have been directed to you as the admin who took care of an account called "Tvx11" the other day, as I have found another account that fits the same style of posting. Before they blanked the page, this user stated that their account was created "for fun", just as the Tvx11 account was:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ADarrandarra&diff=650895838&oldid=650895532

I am keeping an eye out for others like it. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 19:22, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

I'll watch them closely. I susect you are correct. Let's see what they do. JodyB talk 20:30, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
He so far seems to be trying to stir up trouble at Talk:2015 Formula One season. I am going to avoid contributing to that discussion because he clearly wants a reaction, and I am willing to bet that he will use anything I say to fuel tensions. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 23:27, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
That is a wise decision. It's usually best not to feed the trolls. He hasn't posted for about 6 hours so maybe he will remain quiet. I've watchlisted his talk page and I check his contributions from time to time. I imagine he will fade away. If not we will deal with him as we have to. JodyB talk 02:28, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Fred Bendheim

Hi JodyB, You deleted my article on Fred Bendheim. Please let me know why. The article is in progress and there are more references that have not been added. Please let me know specifically what you or Wikipedia need to allow the article. Thank you.Staffer55 (talk) 00:55, 17 March 2015 (UTC)Staffer55

Thank you for your question. I see that the article has been moved into draft space which is a good place to work on it. The original article was tagged for speedy deletion because it did not assert the significance of the subject. There are many artists but not all deserve a page. You need to show that he is notable. read the notability article for help. You must back up your claim of notability through the use of reliable sources. If you wish, I will be glad to take a look at it once you are done and offer suggestions. Regards! JodyB talk 02:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Ikonomidis

I cannot see how you can say that there is a consensus to keep here. Even if you exclude arguments not based on general notability, there is still a greater number of editors (if you include me) saying the article should be deleted. If you feel more discussion is necessary, please relist the debate. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:36, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your question. I thought long about the closure and, as I noted, it was saved, because in my judgement, it met the general notability guidelines. AFD is not simply about votes. Administrators evaluate the discussion and act accordingly. I'm afraid I must decline your request to relist. You may take the close to deletion review if you feel so compelled. Thanks! JodyB talk 18:42, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

AFD closes

I'm sorry to have to raise this with you, but I thought it better to do so here than in some other forum. I, like others who have expressed the same sentiment, are glad you have returned after your hiatus. I am concerned, though, that jumping right back into AFD closes upon your return has yielded some questionable results. Beyond that which I have commented on at DRV, there are the two closes mentioned in your most recent archive as well as this one and this one. I should point out that I participated in both, so it might just be that I am in the unique position of having had a stake in three of your closes in the last few days. The former of those was closed as delete when the agree-upon consensus (which you made a point of praising) was clearly userfy (a perfectly valid close option). Instead you deleted it (rather than moving it without a redirect) meaning an inexperienced editor needs to approach you to undelete it to maintain attribution - they are far more likely to simply create a draft which will later need to be history-merged with the deleted version (if anyone notices). The latter of those is problematic too, and that's from someone who "got their way". One of the keep votes was simply an attack on the nominator and my work/opinion acknowledged there might not be enough coverage there. Two people argued there wasn't and one argued that there was. None of that makes for a particularly strong consensus. I'm not going to go as far as to suggest you not close AFDs but could you please give some of these more thought, particularly with regard to alternatives to keeping and deleting? Arguably, all of those could be reviewed at DRV. 5 questionable closes in a week, sorry a month, isn't great. St★lwart111 00:28, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Stalwart111, thank you for your thoughts and for the manner in which you've chosen to address your concerns. I appreciate any criticism which is constructive in nature. Let me say that I intended to convey a willingness to userfy the article you mentioned. I will immediately move it to the author's sandbox rather than waiting to hear from him. Not a problem at all. I will look closer in the future although I cannot promise we will always agree. Please know that I am open to your thoughts always. JodyB talk 02:10, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Absolutely, I certainly don't expect blind agreement and as I pointed out, several of your closes actually went "my way". Your willingness to look closer is reassuring, as is your willingness to fine-tune that particular close. St★lwart111 02:31, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Can you also correct the close to reflect that the consensus was actually userfy? Is that possible? It may not actually matter, but it might. I don't want the article to be speedily deleted for not being different enough when other editors expressed the idea that it was "almost there." Lizardbones (talk) 08:21, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

The article is presently at deletion review and the closure is being discussed there. I don't think it would be wise to make any change to the close during the discussion. But my close did mention that I was willing to userfy the article. Once the discussion is done I will make an "after-the-fact" notation. I honestly thought I was helping but it looks like I muddied the waters instead. My apologies. JodyB talk 11:11, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
Lizardbones I was confused. Please disregard the above. I confused your article with one at DRV. I have made the notation you requested. JodyB talk 16:45, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

deleted page Endpoint_Mixing

Dear JodyB, regarding a recent deletion of page Endpoing_Mixing, I had responsed by pressing the button "Delete Contest" and query about which part of the content I should have changed, but there is no answer and it was being deleted very soon. May I know what is the reason why it is deleted and how should I change the content in order to put it back on wiki? Thanks!

Digorious (talk) 05:25, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your question. First, I will be happy to restore the article and move it to your user sandbox so that you can work on it and bring it into compliance with our policies. Just let me know if you wish to do that. The problems with the article seem to revolve around two things. One, it is written like an advertisement or brochure. You use words and phrases like "new and ground breaking" which smack of promotion. Articles must be written like an encyclopedic article. Second, all articles must be properly sourced in order to verify their notability. Before doing anything else I would read the following pages, Notability, Reliable Sources and Verifiability. There are no exceptions to these "rules." Some outside, independent and significant source must have already written about Endpoint. If you have more questions, please let me know. I'll be happy to help. Also, if you want the article moved to your sandbox, let me know that too. I'm happy to help. JodyB talk 11:54, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Dear JodyB, thank you for your detail and prompt response. I understand and fully agree with what you said. I am happy and wanted my article moves to sandbox, please do so for me. And I will revise according to your instructions and resubmit. By the way, please note that I am new with Wikipedia writing so if I have question and asked your advise, please give me some help, and thank you so much and God bless! Digorious (talk) 12:23, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Well, Welcome! I am happy to help with any question, just post here and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I'm sure you will do a fine job. Give me a few minutes and I will get the article moved. JodyB talk 13:25, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

There is a problem with your last deletion - brought about by a series of page moves. I think Talk:Arnis used to be Talk:Eskrima which had content including archives.

Edit war on Tito

I am trying to discuss with user Tuxiver about a more compromised formulation for the lead of Josep Broz Tito's article but fail to discuss with the aforementioned user. Any suggestion? Silvio1973 (talk) 17:48, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Well, you can seek help from the reliable sources noticeboard if you wish. It seems the discussion there centers on what source should be used. There has been a discussion at the article talk page with little progress. However editors are communicating. Use caution with reverts and stay calm. JodyB talk 20:46, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
@Silvio1973 Let me be a little stronger. After looking closer at the history, you are dangerously close to a 3RR block. Do not revert again today. JodyB talk 20:57, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
OK, I did not revert, but modified another section of the lead. I hope this is OK. Please tell me. --Silvio1973 (talk) 21:08, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
Silvio1973, Revert does not mean pressing the revert button. It means changing what another has added. For example, "Tito is seen by most" to "Tito is seen by some" is a revert. You should stop now and leave it alone. Read 3RR and EW. before making anymore edits. JodyB talk 21:14, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
@JodyB OK, clear enough. Please mind well I do not contest the source, which is fine. It's the use of the source itself. The entire lead is built with selective choice of sources. However, your message is clear. I won't revert and hope discussion will follow, although I am pretty sure it won't. Silvio1973 (talk) 21:20, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
@JodyB The point is that I posted sourced edits but they are removed without any explanation. --Silvio1973 (talk) 18:47, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

I understand Silvio1973 but this is a content dispute. Administrators typically avoid content disputes. You have to work it out on the talk page. From what I see, you do not yet have consensus to make your desired change. Just be careful and do not edit war or get into a 3RR situation. Either will get you blocked. JodyB talk 21:05, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Unblock discussion

Hello JodyB. In this edit you seem to be declining the appeal of the block you imposed yourself. This would be unorthodox. If you wish, you could add the same comment, just not using the decline template. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 01:29, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

deleted my page Pierra Akwero

Hey JodyB, i created a page for a former model cum musician called PIerra Akwero. Recently i discovered the page doesnt exit, and so when i logged into wikipedia, i found out that it had been deleted by you. Reasons, that the person doesn't exit. The person does exist and i thought wikipedia was an open platform with no limitations, as long as what is posted makes sense. Besides, i have seen alot of blank, useless wikipedia pages that are never deleted. Please help me.

thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danogwok (talk • contribs) 07:21, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

The page was tagged and sent for a discussion at Articles for Deletion. The consensus was not that she does not exist but that there is no evidence of notability. You will need to read the page on notability. Thanks! JodyB talk 09:40, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Re the JTB article

I feel I have to say this: it isn't justified to treat Silvio1973's actions equally with those of Tuvixer. Silvio has tagged and edited sourced segments of the lead (very well sourced segments of the lead) based on nothing but his own "appraisal" of the sources' accuracy and reliability. If you read his comments in the discussion thread, you can see that he expects opposing users to now "compromise" with nothing but his own views. You can also see he has not even inspected the listed references to the point of clicking on them, that he might discover what they are and what they say (he questions whether a source is cited correctly - while there's a direct quote in the ref), etc..

I've been around for years and I can't answer Tuvixer's question: what was he to do? Imo, had he gone to a noticeboard he would either get ignored or blocked alongside Silvio1973. -- Director (talk) 01:34, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

The point is he knew better but still violated 3RR and/or edit warring. Plus, he was specifically warned. Maybe a brief break will be useful. Thanks for you thoughts. JodyB talk
Followup: just a few days after his latest block, Silvio1973 is again edit-warring to push another non-consensus, opposed edit, in exactly the same manner, this time on the Istrian exodus article, with exactly the same rhetoric. I won't edit-war with him, but, like Tuvixer, I'd like to request assistance.
In my opinion, this is a very disruptive user, and the need to follow the most basic policies and behavioral guidelines should be impressed upon him. He doesn't seem to give a damn whether or not anyone objects to his edits. -- Director (talk) 09:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. I will take a look. JodyB talk 14:20, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Pierra Akwero

Hey JodyB, does that mean i can't create a page for Pierra Akwero? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danogwok (talk • contribs) 11:47, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Not necessarily. But what must be done is that when you create it you must include proper sourcing. The sourcing verifies that what you say about Akwero is true and that they are notable by the standards of Wikipedia. That sourcing must come from reliable sources. My suggestion is that you read each of the policies I just linked to, ask any questions and then create the article. Be be prepared to do it fast because it will likely be tagged for deletion very quickly. Let me know and I will be happy to take a look at the article and offer suggestions. The sourcing is critical.

Your deletion of my article Thank You

Hi I don't know how / where to post this, so I am just adding here so you can delete / move this if necessary afterwards. First, Thank you for deleting my last article, it was not ideal having it sit there in limbo with warnings.

Second, on the deletion discussion page for my 3rd article there are 2 erroneous comments I'd like corrected for the record, if at all possible. My first article was about John Wick, whose carbon protocol has now been accepted for CA climate change impacts. This was also deleted as, and I understand the regulations better now, it was an article albeit citing 7 years of research that still focused on future notability. I had 3 articles deleted, (2 environmentalists, 1 engineer) and had prepared 3 more environmentalists' articles, when suddenly the deletions began and I realized I was not a good wiki writer. The deletion remarks, however, incorrectly ignore John Wick and imply propaganda of the other two because they are married. Could that "sole contributions" comment be corrected?

The other correction I'd like to request, is regarding the intention. I was using the same humanizing format for these impactful sectors that wikipedia uses to celebrate entertainers. Articles on entertainers describe inspirational people and all 6 of my articles were on non-political philanthropists donating money and time to working on climate change. Clearly, using that inspirational format was not a good strategy. And it was badly executed, as you see from Bbb23's comments like "dreadful" and "messy" and life is better now that all is deleted as if it never happened. The definition of the word Propaganda is "biased, misleading, promoting political cause or point of view." Is this referring to being pro-environment? No politics is mentioned and all of the body of work information is correct, verified and reinforced by news articles. I did mention a connection to the BP oil spill, a clean up program in the 3rd article, neutrally I thought compared to other Wiki BP articles. That was removed first, I noticed. The negative implication that the article was propaganda is unfounded. Can the "propaganda" comment be corrected?

In answer to the question by MelanieN Why wasn't there an article about the charity, that was because any information on charities that isn't immediately available on google, the website or in the news would be extraneous and quickly out of date. And I thought that the regulations on promotion and advertising would be more relevant to articles on organizations which would benefit from the publicity than of the specific, replicable work of their (in these 6 cases) uncompensated founders. I'm still confused about the wikipedia warnings and if I'm not alone, that's a possible sign of a definition that could be clearer.

Finally, as obviously I won't be involved in wikipedia in the future, could I leave a couple of suggestions with you? A) I couldn't find a quantifiable definition of notable. I picked for my 6 article subjects, having multiple, national media source documents and a body of work including at least 2 separate public outcomes that impacted a minimum of 1 million people. And that was insufficient. Reading your other comments below, I'm not alone in my confusion on this definition either. The subjective nature of the review process notwithstanding, better definitions could save a lot of time and effort. Could Wikipedia quantify notability in its definition?

B) Wikipedia's list of policies has a section on conduct and mentions rudeness, insensitivity, personal attacks and I think it would be useful for that to apply to the admins as well because I find terms like "dreadful" (and there were many other such words in my "messy" 3rd article's delete comments) unnecessary, unprofessional and over-emotionally charged for the situation. I did wrongly think I had done something mechanically incorrect or possibly it was a robot glitch the first time I saw so much of the content removed on the third article and as I was able with one click I just foolishly put it all back. This greatly upset the deleter more, which was my fault, and the clearly sentiment lingered. The other articles had just been removed entirely (too short, too new). A simple, polite, instructive exchange would have made the third experience less traumatic.

If the purpose of the wikipedia website is to provoke then the emotional comments and publicly visible, condescending, yellow warnings are accomplishing this. If the goal is to inform then perhaps simply moving articles in question to a Wiki Under Review section so that the public isn't witness to the sausage being made, might benefit everyone from visitors, to editors to admins to your fundraisers.

At least you now have this truth on record in case corrections can be made. Again, I am so grateful for the rapid article deletion. And no worries. Never again.

Energizerbetty (talk) 22:07, 9 April 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Energizerbetty (talk • contribs)

Your article that I deleted was removed as the result of a deletion discussion. I was the closing administrator and deleted after other editors reviewed and commented. There is a clearly delineted policy of notability which you should consider. If you find reliable sources to verify notability you may consider recreating the page. Please ask for help first so that it isn't immediately deleted. As for correcting the record I cannot edit others comments. JodyB talk 01:08, 10 April 2015 (UTC)


Yes, I saw the thread of editors, I realize you were following protocol and the comments I'm referring to were earlier. At least the corrections are on record here. Thanks for your help and suggestion. If / when the climate becomes more of an issue, someone else will probably do these or similar articles and do them properly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Energizerbetty (talk • contribs) 05:24, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Titoists

I have already alerted user:Salvio Giuliano for talk:Josip Broz Tito#Dispute: why titoists remove tag of POV and did remove section -Criticism- which was a result of report in ANI? In introduction I removed false sources inserted by titoist gang but in article titoist rubbish remains! What to do against titoist vandals? Several logged users and IPs criticized tioist POV of whole article!RegardsPassando (talk) 10:53, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

User:Jamessaveryofficial/sandbox

Hi, With regards to your decline of the U5 speedy request for User:Jamessaveryofficial/sandbox, your decline comment asked if you had missed anything. This sandbox is being used to host a fake X factor article, probably somebody's fantasy version. It purports to be the fourth season of the American X-Factor but that series only had 3 seasons before being shut down. Also note that one of the judges listed in the infobox is the user himself. Please reconsider. Regards -- Whpq (talk) 03:12, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Got it. I did reconsider and deleted the article. Thanks. JodyB talk 10:31, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

GoGoDragons -- advice requested

Sigh...the creator made a minor improvement and and moved the article back to mainspace without submitting it to AfC. The article as it stands is still A7-bait, but retagging it as such seems just a little WP:BITEy at this point, I really don't want to prolong the back-and-forth by moving it back to draftspace, a prod will likely get reverted, and sending it to the fiery pit of AfD feels like overkill. Your thoughts on the best course? Thank you for your time. --Finngall talk 22:25, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Finngall, I agree. He's got to find some reasonable claim of notability. I'd love to help but I am heading out to the hospital tomorrow for open heart surgery and an aortic valve replacement. I'll be out of service for a week or so. I'm glad you are trying to help him. Just shoot straight and give him an assignment to find notability. JodyB talk 01:07, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Tag

I have cause of complaint pertinent disputed article Josip Broz Tito because user:Tuvixer always removes POV's tag, like a sentinel who shoots on sight, during discussion regarding POV in related talk, against project's rule: is there anything you can do for this violation? RespectsPassando (talk) 13:30, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

What violation? The guy never goes on the talk page. He ignores any discussion. He never mentiones why he makes the changes to the article, and now he did the same thing with POV tag. That is not how Wikipedia works. Tnx. --Tuvixer (talk) 13:39, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Never on the talk page? I proposed a neutral introduction: but do you know what talk about or else?Passando (talk) 13:51, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Sry, but your English is not so good. I don't understand what you want to say. --Tuvixer (talk) 13:55, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

don't worry my English neither your: this project has rules and you can not eliminate tag during a disputePassando (talk) 14:03, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Information icon Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
