Image Added

Hi KylieTastic,

I have uploaded a photo for article 2001 SN263 that works. I just did not know how to add photos that work. Thank you for undoing my failed edit!

  • Hi PhotoPuppy, good to see you added the image, a few relevant images can really make an article. We all learn the wiki way step-by-step, with a few mistakes along the way, but I'm glad to see you making a positive additions and to a subject I love. All the best with your wiki editing, and if your unsure of something feel free to ask. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 00:27, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Hel ok sael

Regarding the information on Wikepedia - heil ok sael. This is from an Old Norse greeting Hel ok sæl, which is still used on the west coast of Norway and in the North of Norway.

I felt that the information regarding an unsuccessful attempt of a political party to reintroduce the greeting is irrelevant to this page.

I can see absolutely no reason for this to be mentioned twice in a small article relating to this greeting. I believe that if used at all, it should be linked to the political party's side, and not as the main part of a Wikepedia page about the greeting.

Regarding the statement that this greeting is used by police or party members, no Norwegian policemen I know have heard of this.

It seems that this page is not about the Old Norse greeting and the fact that it is still used in Norway today, but rather a page with a political and Nazi agenda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.149.206.153 (talk) 17:39, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi 90.149.206.153, I can see your point and the information is unsourced anyway. Just removing lumps of content without explaining why in the edit summary is going to look like vandalism. As you say there is no reason for two mentions, I would suggest leaving in the sentence in the lead, but removing the National socialism section. As for the second change, again both the original and your change are unsourced - all I could find for "unsǣle" is [1] which suggests wicked. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 17:53, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


Thanks for the feedback and changes Kylie.

Maybe there should be a Wikepedia page about the Old Norse greeting Hel ok sæl, and its meaning, with a link to the Heil ok sael Wikepedia page.

Regarding scources as to the meaning of unsǣle, as sæl means happy, logic would suggest that unsǣle would mean unhappy. The problem with translations from the last century, which are still used as reference, is that they were created by people of religious ties, or political ties, and the translations were influenced by their beliefs.

Just as pagan has been used as a negative word, its original meaning was "region delimited by markers", then "of or relating to the countryside", "country dweller" and "villager". (according to Wikepedia) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.149.206.153 (talk) 20:06, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi 90.149.206.153, its up to you but creating a separate page would probably get challenged with a merge unless their is lots of information/references for the "Old Norse greeting". I would suggest just adding any information to the existing page. It may be logical that if sæl in Norse was happy unsǣle would mean unhappy in Norse, but Old English it could easily have been changed, English has a history of taking words and changing the meaning, especially as you say that people changed words for religious and/or political reasons. However although I find linguistics interesting its not an area I have much knowledge in - but in the end its sources that count on wikipedia.

Dear 'KylieTastic',

Thank you very much for repairing that file name in the link I had mistakenly broken as part of my current drive of serially correcting all occurrences of the name 'hurdy-gurdy' (when it's misspelt without the hyphen). After doing a few dozens of these, one ends up running the risk of ignoring the context of the word being corrected, which clearly happened in this case.

Therefore, I am very grateful to you for catching me out and fixing my unintended error, but please also accept my apologies for causing you unnecessary work, especially since you're supposed to be on a wikibreak.

In any case, get well soon and thanks once again for your helpful assistance.

With kind regards;

Image deletion in "Safavid Dynasty"

I have been working on the Safavid Dynasty article for a week now. In the course of it I added two image files from Wiki Commons, neither of which you have deleted. However, in the course of adding these (which are copyright free, IMHO), I may have moved from one place in the article to another this file. (I know I at least used the file as a model for importing my two images]:

File:Shah Tahmāsp and Humayun.jpeg
Shah Tahmasp greets the exiled Humayun

I did not originally upload the iumage on either Wikicommons or the Safavid Dynasty article, and I note that it was there before I started editing the article. (I say this to point out that it was not a recent addition.)

Yesterday you deleted the image on the ground that it was not properly uploaded (or at least that's how I understood your comment). I am not very familiar with how to properly upload images to wikipedia (I mainly edit text) and I don't know what was wrong with that image (which is from wikicommons), although I may have caused the problem by moving it in the text.

I'd appreciate if you could look at your edit and tell me if I am responsible for your deletion because I improperly "moved" it.

In any event, IMO, there is nothing wrong with the image. It is copyright free as something that was created over 500 years ago, it is a useful illustration and is from wikicommons.

Many thanks. AnthroMimus (talk) 16:39, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Black Rock Historic District editing

Hi Kylie-- I actually wrote that source document regarding the "John" Wheeler House in Black Rock. A lot of research has been done on that house since it was written back in 1978. First, Abbott Lowell Cummings of the SPNEA superintended a restoration of the house, and put to rest for all time the idea that it dated from the 18th century. It is undoubtedly a 17th-century survivor, and the only question is whether it dates from circa 1644 (which I believe, based on the historic confluences that took place in that year) or slightly later. Cummings assigned it a date of circa 1680 "to be safe," with which I am happy to concur. Secondly, a researcher by the name of Rebecca Walch has untangled the genealogy of the Wheeler family in Black Rock, which was confused by the fact that there were two individuals by the name of Thomas Wheeler operating at the same time (1640s) in this small community, and they happened to have been half-brothers. She has assigned them the names of Thomas Wheeler Sr. (the builder of the house) and Lieut. Thomas Wheeler (the builder of the fort that was constructed down the road). John Wheeler was a grandson of Thomas Sr. I felt the information contained in this Wikipedia page was erroneous and needed to be corrected. As the consultant who prepared both local and National Register nominations for the district, and the Historian of the City of Bridgeport from 1990 to 2004, I felt I was the man to undertake this task. --Charles Brilvitch

  • Hi Charles, thanks for the reply. Is this change of information on any web site, as the trouble is everything here has to be verifiable - which is a great principle until you get situations like this with an old official source being found to be wrong but not corrected. Assuming that this new research is not available to be referenced I have removed the contentious words - aka John and the date. However anyone following the source link or looking up themselves will still find the old data. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:35, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Change to Fay School page

Hi Kylie: I disagree with the change you made by deleting the entry I added.

Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement

Dear KylieTastic,

I received a message that my recent change to the page on ACTA has been undone because it did not appear constructive. I disagree, which is why I am writing this message. I changed generic into counterfeit, since the latest version of ACTA is not aimed at targeting generic medicine. It might be one word that does not seem to make a lot of difference, but it does. Generic medicines are cheap, but safe and tested, versions of a medicine for which the patent has ended or for which there is no patent in a certain country. Counterfeit medicines are fake (sometimes lethal, sometimes without an active ingredient) versions of a medicine, sold cheaply under the guise of being the patented product.

Patents were actually removed from the scope of the agreement to stop ACTA from targeting generic medicines. It does aim to stop counterfeit medicine. There are trademark violation provisions, which still fall within the scope of the agreement, that could have an effect (though limited) on the trade in generic medicine, but in no way is ACTA in its final version meant to do this. So could you please accept my change being constructive and change generic to counterfeit?

Toby Young

Hi Kylie.

Thanks for your message. It was indeed me who made some changes to my Wikipedia entry yesterday.

I've read the guidance under "You and your circle" and it says it's okay to edit your own page if the article contains defamatory material. I think the reference to my father's role in my entrance to Oxford falls into this category since it implies that it was only because of my father's personal relationship with the college admissions tutor that I secured a place when, in fact, it was solely because the college had sent me an acceptance letter by mistake. I confirmed this when I met with the admissions tutor many years later. He said the reason he decided to offer me a place was because the college had a legal obligation to honour the original acceptance letter, even though it was a mistake. Nothing to do with who my father was.

The second thing I removed was a reference to an article I wrote for the Spectator about "inclusion" which, for some reason, appeared under the heading of "Personal Life" (and which has now been restored). To begin with, it seems odd to include a single Spectator article under "Personal Life". I've been a weekly columnist for the Spectator since 1998 and it would make more sense to include a link to an archive of all my columns under "Career", rather than just one under "Personal Life". This particular column is often misrepresented by opponents of the free schools policy who falsely claim that I'm opposed to including children with disabilities in mainstream education. That, too, is defamatory, and linking to this article (in such a prominent way) was almost certainly done by someone intent on perpetuating this smear. I think it would be fair-minded to remove this, particularly as I don't want any parents of children with disabilities to be put off applying to any of the three schools within the West London Free School group and nor do I want those children with disabilities currently at the schools, of which there are several, to think they aren't welcome. However, I won't attempt that myself if you think that's a breach of Wikipedia's editorial policy.

The only other thing I did was to remove my middle names and date of birth, which I would prefer not to be included in the article because of the risk of identity theft, and attempt (unsuccessfully) to restore the photograph that originally sat at the top of the article. I had sought and obtained permission from the photographer, so I don't understand why that photograph was removed. However, I've asked the photographer to get in touch with Wikipedia and confirm that she has given her permission for that photograph to be reproduced.

Thanks again for getting in touch. I'm a huge fan of Wikipedia and use it a great deal.

Best,

Toby — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyoung8 (talk • contribs) 18:29, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Toby thanks for the message, I did try to be fair and not just revert everything and did leave the removal of "following the intervention of his father" as it was un-sourced content. Many would have done a full revert and maybe even flagged the article as dubious due to previous edits violating WP:COI - but I tend to think such actions are a bit harsh, and I don't believe there was any malice to your actions.
As for the "inclusion" article in one way I agree its a bit odd in the personal section, however in another way you could see it as not letting "mild controversy" tarnish the career section, as it isn't indicative of the rest of your career. Looking back though the history it was originally added in a more negative way with this edit and later changed. Although I can see some some would have twisted your words, I don't agree with that the current wording is particular defamatory or placed "in such a prominent way". If the worst anyone could site about you is a "mild controversy" that links to your own article in full then your doing better than most! As its the only criticism, and mild at that, it could be seen by others too not be ad-hearing to Wikipedia:Neutral point of view to remove, as someone thought it was important. However if you would like a second opinion ask on Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions - you'll find editors with more experience on such polices than I am.
Lastly as for the photo File:Toby Young with West London Free School students.jpg all I known is what it says here as once it's been deleted only those with the necessary permission can see any-more info. The only thing I could advise is to ask at the commons village pump hep desk - or it may be easier to just take a new picture yourself and upload.
Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 21:19, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Kylie,

Thanks for replying so promptly.

If you're going to keep that comment would it be possible to include it as a new paragraph at the end of the career section rather than tagged on to end of the "Personal Life" section, given that it has nothing to do with my personal life? Also, is it possible to rewrite it so it's less clunky? It's introduced a propos of nothing. It's also inaccurate to say I "courted controversy" with the article. Believe it or not, I didn't actively seek to be branded a disablist – it's not a label I "courted". As I said before, it's a smear based on a deliberate misreading of the article in question.

Can I suggest the following wording, which wouldn't change the substance of what's written or the point being made? Most of these are stylistic corrections, such as using only my surname rather than both of my names, using double inverted commas throughout instead of randomly switching from double to single, mixing up the tenses so it goes from the past to the present in a single sentence, and closing the gap between the footnote and the full stop at the end so as to eliminate the superfluous space.

"Young attracted mild controversy in 2012 after he wrote an article criticising the emphasis on "inclusion" in state schools, with some people interpreting this as an attack on including disabled children in mainstream education. He denied this charge, citing a misunderstanding of what he meant by "inclusion"."[23]

Best,

Toby — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyoung8 (talk • contribs) 16:32, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Toby I think your demonstrating why Wikipedia has rules against self editing, it's too easy to see things in an overly negative way. When I read that someone "courted controversy" I would not assume it was intentional. Yes some people may deliberately court controversy, noticeably the type of celebrity that craves attention but has no talent, but I think most times it is said it is unintentional and taken as such. Also reading the linked article gave no real sense that it was your intention. However, it's a very human response to have such a reaction, and partly why I keep my online life fairly anonymous. Lastly, after getting a totally unbiased second opinion between the original sentence vs yours from a work colleague I'm happy to point out that I have adjusted the article.

Reverted your unnecessary work

I created a new article that included an infobox image, while preparing the upload of the image in another browser window. I ensured the name of the image in the infobox was the same as the image I was simultaneously preparing for upload. By the time I completed the file upload and returned to the article, you had already deleted the file name from the infobox. Only a few minutes had passed; the red link literally existed for only a few minutes. I reverted your unnecessary work. Please do not work on articles that are only a few minutes old to prevent this from occurring in the future; I suggest ensuring the red link has been there for at least 24 hours. Thanks.

  • Hi Prhartcom I work on checking problems flagged in Category:Articles with missing files and after sorting 20,000 - 30,000 of them I know that in general their are very very few images added to articles that if not already existing are not uploaded in a couple of minutes. In this case I didn't actually note the time past as I was catching up after a few days so sorry I was a bit quicker than I normally would be! However it had been 8 minutes, and you didn't actually get around to uploading till 31 minutes later. One reason I still revert/remove even if its relatively new is even seasoned editors either forget to upload or make a typo, so getting a notification often helps fix the problem. An example in the same editing session is this where I actually noticed the editor had uploaded but it was a typo so fixed, however if I had reverted I guess they would have fixed themselves. So sorry again for the minor inconvenience but for every case like this there are literally thousands of random additions, erroneous corrections, and plain old vandalism I have fixed. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:55, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
That's OK, thanks for the apology; this is actually the third time this has happened; sometimes the other way around (I upload the file first, then the article, then return to the file and someone has eagerly flagged it for deletion). It's just going to keep happening, so I will just try to do both nearly simultaneous from now on. Thanks for your helpful housekeeping. Prhartcom (talk) 23:16, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Wrong reversion.

I wonder why a spelling error ( communale ) which was corrected into the proper Italian adjective ' comunale ' with only one 'm', was reverted into the original spelling error, when all one needs to do is consulting any ordinary Italian dictionary, to confirm the first correction CarloMartinelli (talk) 23:02, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

The Civility Barnstar
Thank you for addressing my concerns and being civil despite my frustrated tone. I can see why they put you in charge. Xyzerb (talk) 18:02, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Hi Xyzerb Thank you, always happy to help. However at Wikipedia no one is on charge, a very odd idea but one that appears to work overall. I started just like you a couple of years ago and I know when your new all the policies and things are overwhelming. Administrators are not really people with more say on what goes on that every other user, they just have more tools and responsibly. They are voted in and can be voted out, and can be challenged on any edit. If any thing is "in charge" it is the policies, and they are like the rest of the articles written by consensus not set down by any higher powers. One key policy I didn't get at first was Assume good faith - but you soon realise that most people are trying to the right thing, and often its just misunderstandings and frustration. All the best, and watch out being a wikipedian can be addictive (I only popped on to edit a single article....) KylieTastic (talk) 19:03, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
I like seeing that "assume good faith" is listed as a fundamental principle. As a new user, I had no idea how to contribute, so I searched for my hometown, found the list of companies and thought I'd found the perfect place for my first few articles. My first error was not thinking twice about the section: everything else is so well-documented--why is this area so sparse? Then, after some frustration with formatting, not understanding the draft process, and a couple of unceremonious deletions, I went into full-defensive mode. I still have a lot to learn here.
I still think moving rejected articles to user's page rather than just deleting them would preferable to the current "doesn't meet the standards, press the smite key" process (as illustrated here by Strong Bad).
Thanks again for all your help.--Xyzerb (talk) 19:44, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Image names

Oops - that was a ".jpg" vs ".jpg.JPG" issue. My fault. I've fixed it. DS (talk) 23:20, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

not going to bother re-uploading image or any more images or edits for that sake.

image was there for years, not a single issue or complaint. there wouldnt be, it's mine, i own it, uploaded it, and that's the end of it.

Some moron comes to the page, deletes the files, and now I have to go through hoops to restore/reupload? No thanks. Not my job.

Please tell me the point of contributing to Wiki as the rights holder if some careless twit is just going to remove the contribution years later and then leave the rights holder to clean up the mess?

There is no answer, and people wonder why Wiki is laughed at as a valid source for information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:2203:1E00:387F:EBBC:3C65:575A (talk) 01:33, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi 2605:E000:2203:1E00:387F:EBBC:3C65:575A, I understand your frustration, I've shouted at my computer a couple of times at the actions of those over on commons. Why this image was not picked up for a year I don't know (Image was uploaded 14 March 2013 from file page still on Google cache). The annoying thing is warning messages are only posted to commons, in this case on commons:User_talk:Knacrob so unless you go there regularly or have changed the default email notification you don't know there is a problem till the image has gone. Without a copy of images or other details its difficult to comment further, only those over on commons could say more. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:06, 26 March 2015 (UTC)


Orchidarium ‎

Hello I am a first time contributor to Wikipedia. can you please help me understand why my recent edit was removed and how to revise or change the content of the edit to clearly explain the functionality and use of an orchidarium

I have created a talk page for orchidarium. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orchidariumguru (talk • contribs) 16:06, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Orchidariumguru, welcome to Wikipedia. The reason why your edit was reverted was because you added content to Orchidarium which is a disambiguation page. What this means is it's a page that just redirect the reader to several options to do with the title. In this case it only has two sub articles, but some a lot such as Cab. If you want to add your information about Orchidarium, you would normally add it to the relevant sub article. In this case, neither of the sub articles are really specific so I think maybe this could be a case to change the page from a disambiguation page to a normal one. I'm at work at the moment and wanted to just give a quick reply, I'll have another look later. The other big issue was the content was not referenced - and all content on Wikipedia should have valid reliable sources. The images were not valid either. I've added a welcome messaeg to your talk page to give you some useful starting links. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 17:00, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Hi again Orchidariumguru, I've reverted back to your work and done the basic tidy up. However without adding references soon it may be challenged or reverted by another editor. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 17:07, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Henry Edward Colville

Hi,

I was looking at this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Edward_Colville) and noticed that someone had corrected his name to 'Colvile' (though not in the article title) and you'd reverted on Feb 11. As one of his (distant) relatives, I can confirm that it's the correct spelling of our particular branch of the family - see this Spectator piece (http://archive.spectator.co.uk/article/29th-december-1900/3/it-was-announced-on-friday-that-sir-evelyn-wood-ac) or the title page of his book (https://archive.org/details/landnilesprings00colvgoog). Would you be able to cancel the changes? I'd have gone in and changed it myself but I didn't want to be rude...

Robert

  • Hi Robert thanks for getting in touch. At first I was confused as there are very reliable sources for 'Colville', such as the The Library of Congress. We often get these issues when both spellings were actually used, but for an Englishman of this period that is very unlikely. However I have done some preliminary research and found we have two people Colvile, H. E. (Henry Edward), Sir, 1852-1907 and Colville, H. E. (Henry Edward) are actually both listed at The Library of Congress. So it will need some checking to make sure all information pertains to the correct person and to work out if we need two articles. I'm happy to sort it out but it's late and I'm doing 11 hour days, and 7 days a week, at the moment, but I'll get around to it and sort it out for you. Just not tonight.

Keeping Wikipedia Expanding Not Shrinking

Hello User:KylieTastic sorry for disturbing you. The reason I am writing you is we all love Wikipedia and we want it expanding. However there is a discussion going on to delete a notable game article because of biased opinions. I saw that you edited this article: Yu-Gi-Oh!_Power_Of_Chaos and let it stay for further expansion, update and keep growing Wikipedia even though it has no references. But I am also totally agree with you to let articles stay for improvements and expand Wikipedia. So I believe you are a neutral, professional, objective and who believes in expanding Wikipedia not shrinking it type of person. So I would like you to check out this discussion Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/MonsterMMORPG_(2nd_nomination) and make your comment based on references it has. References are here Talk:MonsterMMORPG. Please feel free to delete my message to you after you read it. Thank you very much have a nice day.176.233.41.152 (talk) 14:06, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Bellarmine Emergency Response Team

Please explain your deletion of the Bellarmine Emergency Response Team addition to the Bellarmine University page. I saw that you noted a conflict of interest, however, while I am the VP of B.E.R.T., none of the information provided was false, inaccurate, misleading, destructive, berating or wrong. It was unimpassioned and purely a description of the team.

If there is something I can do to make this post more legitimate for you, please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by B.E.R.T.Car2 (talk • contribs) 03:01, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi B.E.R.T.Car2 their were a number of concerns regarding your post. The Conflict of interest guidelines are there for just this reason - when you are close to a subject you tend not to see the problems. There was no claim the addition was "false, inaccurate, misleading, destructive, berating or wrong" it was removed because it did not appear to meet the Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Firstly none of the information had references so failed Wikipedia:Verifiability and as such did not show reason B.E.R.T passes Wikipedia:Notability. Note that importance is not the same as notability, and just because what you do is admirable and important to your campus does not make it notable. Much of it read like original research and certainly not encyclopaedic and it read more like a promotional post I would expect to find on your campus website promoting campus groups. The section was also disproportionately large in the context of the article. A quick google shows enough references to support a small section written in a more encyclopaedic format.

Transfer of logo from French to English Wiki - help please

Hello KylieTastic, lovely name.

Such a manoeuvre is currently above my basic skill set. Best wishes, --Po Kadzieli (talk) 10:01, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you KylieTastic. You may have noticed, that the logo you replaced of the two children with France-shaped bodies, is very close to the 'Startright' shoe image used for decades on London Underground posters by the children's shoe manufacturer. It too had the back view of a boy and a girl with the statement: "Startright and they will walk right ever after". So much for copyright observance.

Monsohn Family of Jerusalem ‎

Hi KylieTastic, Don't know if I'm supposed to add this at the beginning or end of this section. In any case, I hope the matter of the family photo from 1905, the original of which was given to me by my great uncle, Shimon Barmacz, has now been cleared up. There is no copyright on it and it can be copied and used by anyone. As to the additional verification: I've verified practically every phrase and sentence in this short piece and can't imagine what else could be wanted. If there's anything specific please let me know. All good wishes, David David M. Bunis (talk) 14:12, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi David, I just removed the link as it wasn't valid not because of any copyright concerns - it's often a good way to point out an accidental error (such as forgetting to upload) to the original author. I must admit image copyright is a very confusing area and I'm not sure if it's likely to be challenged as it has no source or licensing information - however as it's a photo from 1905 it probably is in the public domain now, but it depends on the country of origin. If you want to get some feedback from people who know image copyright law better you could try asking at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:26, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Oh and to ask a question on talk pages you guessed correct on the bottom, but forgot to add a section header (I added one) - The simplest way to start a new question is to click the "New Section" tab at the top right between "Edit" and "View History".
  • David I looked over the rest of the article as well and it looks fine to me, certainly no major issues so I marked it as patrolled. All new articles are flagged for checking until someone checks them over for any major issues - yours looks fine so I've marked it so. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 14:35, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Taj images

Hi, KyleiTastic - I saw your edit summary and felt your frustration - (Fixed broken (red-linked) image - editor 'correcting' text in file names - again!) - so here I am to apologize. I don't know what is causing that problem to happen because all I'm doing is a copy/paste of the file name and moving it. I'm not changing the text. If I knew what caused it, I'd fix it. What's even more weird is that when I go back in the edit history, and pull up the diff to see what you're seeing as a red linked image, it isn't showing up as red linked. Maybe you can help me get down to the bottom of this filename cut/paste mystery. Atsme☯Consult 21:39, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Deleted Article - Shivprasad Koirala

Hi, I created a page yesterday, I just have to leave for a meeting. Shivprasad Koirala is one of the leading author of technical books related to Microsoft Technologies like ASP.NET, MVC, sharepoint and 7 times Microsoft MVP. I have searched and found many of English Author biography page in Wikipedia. My mistake is the page isn't Complete but I was collecting other information.

Can you please revert the deletion. You can search about Shivprasad and you will find almost all of the technical community recognize his contribution.

Prithvi Raj Bhatt || http://www.pyarb.com 06:05, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Pyarb having a page on Wikipedia is not based on what someone has done or if it is important but judged by Notability and Verifiability. There are a lot of authors who don't make it onto Wikipedia. If Shivprasad Koirala is notable enough then you need to create an article with good references to support what is written. It's difficult to comment further as I am not an administrator I can no longer see the article, but if I remember correctly the article had no sources at all.
From your talk page I can see this is the third time this has happened - you should work on new articles in your user area or the draft area and use the Articles for creation process, that way they will not be deleted and you loose your work. I suggest also reading Your first article.
Note if you do want to continue working on your article about Shivprasad Koirala you submit a request on Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion for a copy to be moved to your user area or the draft namespace. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:18, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

About edit change

Because the election results of the 2015 UK general election have been announced, I changed his majority numbers to up-to-date figures.

You removed the year for the date of birth, and adding the names to all the films reads like Wikipedia:Wikipuffery.

Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 18:45, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Hi RastaFarOut to add more on the film info... if you want to turn the films into a List use asterisks at the front of each item, but you should add info about what Tricia Vessey did in that movie, not add the most famous named actor or director to make it sound more important. After all a lead role in a lesser film is more important than a very minor role in a film with someone really famous. As such her profile at the IFFR [5] suggests writer/produced/directed to more things The Sad Guy (2009, short) and Weekends (2012, short) you could add those. Hope that helps?

Hi Kylie.

I've noticed that someone has added the word "Hon" to my name in the top right-hand corner of the page. Can you delete that? I don't use the title and including it is clearly intended as a political dig. Thanks. Tyoung8 (talk) 07:46, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Tyoung8, I agree the use of the title are wrong as policies suggest refraining from overuse of titles even when they are used. As I can see no evidence you've ever used the title it's certainly wrong so I have removed. However I can not agree that "it is clearly intended as a political dig" - looking at the users edits in case this was one of several needed reversion, I can see no such pattern. It looks like they just pop in now and then and make 'corrections' on all sorts of issues, come correct but some misguided. Wikipedia uses the principle of Assume good faith because experience has shown us most 'bad' edits are not done for malicious reasons. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:26, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

I also have a request. Could you copy edit the article? Thank you. Munifi3nt (talk) 10:48, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Munifi3nt, you can only use images on English language Wikipedia that are either hosted on |wikimedia commons or locally. This image is on the Persian language wikipedia so can not be used directly. Also the image has no source and looks like it was probably just taken from the internet as many other versions exist, so it is probably not 'public domain' as claimed but copyrighted. Both commons and English language wikipedia are much more strict on copyright issues, so if copied it would most likely be deleted. KylieTastic (talk) 11:47, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

However it didn't remove American from SuperHamsters page when you replied. Also there is a Preview option you should use, or at least look at the article after you edited. If this was somehow a mistake you need to work out how your doing this, because 4 times is no joke. KylieTastic (talk) 19:57, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Choking

Thank you for reviewing my first Wikipedia submission.

The key point on swallowing is that it can occur either at the level of the trachea or at the level of the throat (or both). It does not require obstruction at the level of the trachea AND the throat. This is misleading and inaccurate.

On another point, I am the copyright holder of two jpeg images which clarify this matter of obstruction well. How do I go about installing those in the article?

Keep up the good work.

cross border xpres/Tijuana cross-border terminal

Hi Kylie, you reverted an image on the cross-border xpress and I would like to ask if you could review images which were previously deleted from the article. The first images I uploaded in August, 2014, I clearly stated source, i.e. ASA (Mexican airport authority), City of San Diego and those which I created. Since I did not own the former and failed to understand the wiki protocol, I uploaded all the images under fair use. Stefan2 from Sweden flagged all of them for deletion and after a discussion with him, I requested all the images be deleted and then ONLY uploaded the images I created. I wrote most of the article and also submitted more than 3 dozen reference articles including a feature Wall Street Journal report which clearly established who I was and what I did. In September, 2014, the cross-border terminal article was selected for DYK, passed the review process and reached the 5,000 viewer threshold, no one objected to my images but then in December on Administrator claimed thaT I had made "false claims" and had the images deleted. My identify was also questioned, claiming that there was no proof that User:rnieders and Ralph Nieders quoted in the news article, were the same person. I have now spent more than 7 months, have submitted dozens of documents, 2 U.S. Congressmen have been involved in confirming I exist, a senior member of the San Diego Association of Governments can confirm my work since 1986, but nothing seems to satisfy that the work belongs to me, even though I have been the sole source for all these images. The original line drawings were done on a Toshiba 3100 (1987), which had a graphic's card but those lap tops did not support color, only line drawings. The actual images were actually air-brushed, not computer generated and I still have possession of the original. I started the cross-border terminal project in 1990 and carried it until 2006, during which computer and animation technology changed dramatically. The first image (Mexicana de Aviacion) was a pencil sketch, my original was never returned by Mexicana, but I still have the letter of intent and my last negotiations with the Otay-Tijuana Venture LLC is supported by over 100 emails dealing with the land acquisition. I have submitted documents from 1991-2006 including from Deputy Mayor Bob Filner of San Diego (1991), U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein (1993), Johnson Controls World Wide Services (1996) Mexican Presidential Commissioner Ernesto Ruffo Appel (2001), US-Mexico Presidential Commission Partnership for Prosperity (2002) Mexican Ministry of Transportation (2006), San Diego Reader (2014) which actually published some of my images one of which Google shows when Tijuana Cross-border terminal is entered into their search and I can still supply further information. I have been working with Hjmitchell in England. Could I send you the images for your review? This is the world's first true cross-border terminal and what made it happen were the images that were central in showing how the concept would work. They were used by from Washington DC to Mexico City. The images were central in making this project happen, I was the sole developer and promoter, designed the images which is also supported by a television news interview that shows my images of which I still have a VHS copy from 2001, but all this data seems to be ignored and the fact that this is a high profile project, the largest private sector project along the US-Mexico border. I am not trying to sneak any images into Commons. The images were central in the article I wrote. Could I email you the documents sent to Hjmitchell and the Wikimwedia Foundation in San Francisco? Respectfully Ralph Nieders Rnieders (talk) 18:43, 26 June 2015 (UTC).

  • Hi Rnieders, yes I did revert some vandalism on Cross Border Xpress that also effectively restored the broken image. I sympathise with your problem but there is nothing I could do, I've had my own troubles with copyright images. Even if you sent me the documents and I think your the valid copyright holder my opinion would not help resolved the issue. If you've already been talking to admins such as HJ_Mitchell and the Wikimedia Foundation about this there is nothing more I could add. All though I would be surprised if the Foundation had any input on content issues such as this. There maybe a process either here or on commons that could help resolve things but I don't know of one - I'd suggest asking for advise in the Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions - lots of editors with more experience than I have help out there. ALl the best KylieTastic (talk) 09:44, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Kylie, thank you for replying, your input has helped. The Foundation does not get directly involved in issues but their legal counsel did write back and supplied the protocol which begins with trying to resolve it directly with the Administrator involved, who has chosen not to respond, then I can start the appeal and finally the arbitration. What is frustrating that while the accused has to spend months and hundreds of hours get a US Councilman and two Congressmen involved, supplied dozens of references included in the Wiki article and there is a significant amount of information on me on Google, and Administrator can simply make allegations, actually take sentences out of context from prior discussions, then not support them, refuse to acknowledge any information sent or freely available, and then simply say no and then claim that regardless of the outcome, the images have no educational value, are self-promoting and therefore are excluded. That is an abuse of privilege that discourages legitimate people from becoming involved with Wikipedoa anmd Commons as none of this was suggested during the DYK review and I would not have wasted my time submitting anything to Commons. I am a novice to this Wiki process which places me at a disadvantage against a seasoned Administrator that instead of having stated the problems upfront as Stefan2 from Sweden did in August when I uploaded the images under fair use, he made no allegation, not personal attacks and simply facts, he was clear and professional, the Administrator that emerged in December began with accusations of "false claims," stated that a Cessna 210 is a "hobby" plane, a plane used for surveillance and aerial photography from the U.S.-Mexico border to Colombia, no hobby plane, that I used hobby cameras, not knowing what I did in Mexico, is abuse. This is not a normal case and again, thank you for being open and clear, I appreciate it and will follow the protocol suggested. All the best Rnieders (talk) 15:14, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Blank album cover images

I noticed you were making a bunch of changes around non-images being used in Template:Infobox album. Some of those articles had the image set to "blank" which was rendering incorrectly. The infobox documentation recommends the use of "blank" to avoid categorizing images in Category:Album infoboxes lacking a cover, but a recent change to the template broke this. I've raised the issue on the template talk page, but once it's fixed, would you be able to undo those edits? hinnk (talk) 18:40, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you removed the in-line link example I provided for 'Comparative SWOT analysis'? If you have some better examples, you are welcome to include them, but if not, why is it invalid to include a link to an example site? Why would you remove them?ISWOT (talk) 08:19, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi ISWOT, I've just got to work so only a quick answer... but the number one reason is we don't use direct links to external web-pages in articles. The reason being I believe is its not clear to readers that its going to an outside site, rather than an internal link. Links in article content should only be Wiki-links, external links go either in a dedicated external link section at the bottom or most of the time via a reference. Here's the article about External links and another for Referencing for beginners. Lastly all-though I'm sure people who know the subject would understand what www.MindFraming.org is about you had it as Comparative SWOT analysis - A reader just wondering what Comparative SWOT analysis was and would click be expecting another article would be confused. Hope that helps explain. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 08:54, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Toby Young

Hi Kylie.

Someone has made some silly changes to my Wikipedia page.

They've added "formally styled 'The Hon Toby Young'", which simply doesn't make sense. I am not "formally styled" anything – whatever "formally styled" means, which is a mystery to me.

This sentence has a word or two missing and, as such, doesn't make sense:

His mother, Sasha Moorsom, was a BBC Radio producer, artist and writer[4] by her husband Michael, Baron Young of Dartington, a Labour Life Peer and pioneering sociologist who coined the word "meritocracy".[5]

Please replace the words "by her husband Michael, Baron Young of Dartington..." with "and his father was Michael Young..." His formal title was "Lord Young of Dartington", not "Baron Young of Dartington", but it would be odd to add that after just his first name "Michael".

This sentence is syntactically eccentric:

He then retook his O-Levels and went to the Sixth Form of William Ellis School, Highgate, leaving with two Bs and a C at A-level and managed to obtain a place at Brasenose College, Oxford after he was sent an acceptance letter by mistake; apparently he had been offered a low BBB place under a scheme to give access to comprehensive pupils.[6][7][8]

There should be a full stop after "mistake", the word "apparently" should be deleted, since it suggests it's not true when it is, and the next sentence should begin with the word "he".

There's an eccentric use of a colon in this sentence:

He is currently an associate editor of The Spectator for which he writes a weekly column, and a blogger for The Daily Telegraph: his blog was long-listed for the 2012 George Orwell Prize for blogging.[12]

It should be changed to a full stop and the word "his" should be the beginning of a sentence.

This sentence is both non-sensical, because of a missing word or two, and contains a typo:

Simon Pegg played Young, who co-produced the film,[16] released in Britain on 3 October 2008 reachiong the number one spot at the box office in its opening week.[17][18]

The first sentence should end after "film". Then the next should begin, "It was released... etc". The word "reachiong" should be spelt "reaching".

This paragraph is misleading and contains a superfluous comma:

Young was lead co-founder of the West London Free School, the first and pioneering free school to sign a funding agreement with HM Education Secretary, and now serves as CEO of that school's charitable trust.[21][22] The Trust opened a primary school in Hammersmith in 2013 and a second primary in Earls Court in 2014. Young is a follower of the American educationalist, E.D. Hirsch, and an advocate of a traditional knowledge-based approach to education.[23]

There's no such position as "lead co-founder" so the word "lead" should be deleted. The words "first and pioneering free school" are non-sensical since a school, being an inanimate object, can't be "pioneering". So delete the words "and pioneering". The words "HM Education Secretary", which I've never heard used before, should be replaced with either "Michael Gove" or "the Secretary of State for Education". There shouldn't be a comma after "Hirsch".

Finally, this sentence is inaccurate and insulting to my wife and women in general:

Young is married to Caroline née Bondy (The Hon. Mrs Young)[24] with whom he has four children.

She is not "nee Bondy", but "Caroline Bondy" since she didn't change her name when she married me. Nor is she "The Hon. Mrs Young", so that sentence should be deleted. And there should be a comma after "Bondy". So the sentence should read: "Young is married to Caroline Bondy, with whom he has four children."

Is there any way of putting a lock on the page after you have corrected these mistakes? It's tedious having to send you these messages after people who don't have a good command of the English language or its grammatical rules – and are careless to boot – inadvertently vandalise this Wikipedia page. Either that, or allow me to simply revert to the version you originally signed off on.

Hi Kylie.

Toby — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyoung8 (talk • contribs) 00:18, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Toby sorry I've been (still am) sick and works been crazy as well - and it was a very long message! Ok, so lets cover the easy stuff:
  • From Advice for editors with a COI its perfectly fine to "fix spelling and grammatical errors"
  • If a user adds odd stuff, consider posting them a message on their talk page - after all Wikipedia works because the majority of editors mean well.
  • If you think edits add incorrect information one option you have is to add tags questioning the content if no source given: {{cn}} (that adds [citation needed]) or {{According to whom}} (adds [according to whom?]), or maybe {{Dubious}} (adds [dubious – discuss]).
  • You can also post to places where multiple people will see the message try to help. The friendlist place is Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions or as the article is a BLP you can post concerns at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard
  • It is very unlikely that any administrator would lock the topic as this is usually only done for persistent vandalism - requests are made at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Also that would stop any new valid information being added, which is against policy. Wikipedia like life is a balancing act.
I've made some changes, but I don't really have the time or the inclination at the moment to spend more time as I feel dreadful. I'm moved, rather than delete, the odd title issue as it's been added twice before, and noted your statement of not using it since the 80's. I've change the weird "by her husband" but not your fathers title as the main article is Michael Young, Baron Young of Dartington and I don't have a copy of the 1978 "The London Gazette" or Burke's Peerage & Baronetage to verify either way. I've removed the "apparently" as I agree its not what the source says. A few other copy edit items as well.

Masai Mara

I understand that I don't have a sign in and that my claim to be anthropologist is unverifiable, however, if you look at the user who changed the entry to Maasai Mara, from Masai Mara, you will see that the links they give do not support the change. I'm finishing my diss right now and after I'll try to get a sign in name, or whatever the procedure is, but in the mean time I figured that my unverifiable claim is just as good as his/hers, especially since it's not something new, but a reversion from an edit that should not have been made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.22.1.18 (talk) 19:13, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi 129.22.1.18 Wikiepdia runs on the principle of Verifiability, as such if you can find sources to back up your claim then the name could be changed. Linked from the article is the Kenyan website http://www.maasaimaraconservancies.co.ke/ however a quick Google also found a government site http://www.narok.go.ke/maasai-mara and a Kenyan University site http://www.mmarau.ac.ke/ all using Maasai Mara. No one is disputing that the locals use "Masai Mara", but there are many such naming issues around the world so as a general rule the official name is used, but the local or historic names are given fair mention, and unfortunately we can't please everyone. I've come across some locations with more than 2 names all with people claiming their version is the correct one. Personally I prefer local historical names, however it is not personal opinion that counts. The locals need to get the official name changed, as many indigenous populations are doing world wide. If you can find authoritative sources to back your argument then great, but you can't just assert. As I'm sure you can imagine that can just result in articles reverting back and forth, usually resulting in editors being banned. Also these types of point asserting usually introduce errors in the form of broken wiki-links, categories, templates, images, urls... just as your edit did (broke several images) thus degrading the information for the readers. So find good Wikipedia:References and bring up on the talk page as a new section, as comments on old posts tend not to get noticed. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:47, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Hey, I didn't realize I broke the links. Sorry about that. I understand your argument, and the links you provided. I hope you replaced the unsupportive link with yours. I'll look for references in the future. I know that it doesn't make any difference at this point, but just for your information, it would be good to take Kenyan sites, even government ones with a grain of salt. They are often wrong and I learned this the hard way when I was trying to get my research permit.

I actually think Maasai Mara is a better name because it discards a colonial imposition, but it is just not actually used inside Kenya in any official capacity. In fact, I've never seen it used at all that way when I was over there. The Maasai are a minority and don't have a lot of political power or they would probably force the change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.22.1.18 (talk) 20:13, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Reversion of Henry Adkinson change

Hi Kylie,

I edited that submission because according to Baseball-Reference.com(which the original contributor cites, but has conflicting information) and baseball-almanac.com, the information is wrong. Henry Magee Adkinson did not play for the St. Louis Browns in 1895 (or ever) according to the above-mentioned sources. The player was actually John Harry Atkinson which is what I was reflecting in my changes. I am in the process of procuring a copy of the St. Louis Cardinals Encyclopedia so that, hopefully, I can put this issue to rest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Msw sportscards (talk • contribs) 18:52, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

In addition, you can look at the team and MLB sponsored page at: http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/stl/history/players.jsp

in addition with the click-through of the player at: http://m.mlb.com/player/110081/harry-atkinson

I'd say that's enough for me to show the information is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Msw sportscards (talk • contribs) 18:59, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Kylie,

I will create a new article about John Harry Atkinson. However, if you look at the references you left, they are erroneous sources when compared to more reliable sources. Henry Magee Adkinson never played for the St. Louis Browns in 1895. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Msw sportscards (talk • contribs) 19:52, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Msw sportscards I must admit to knowing little about the subject in general so not sure if the two sources have any merit at all. I had a look for other information and found a grave stone here suggesting a person existed. However, I agree the information is dubious. I found this which (if trusted) explain the issue "Henry Adkinson had actually existed and had played baseball for the University of Chicago a few years earlier, but he was not the major league player." KylieTastic (talk) 20:08, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Kylie,

The source you provided reflects the same information that is on the Major League Baseball website. I would think that the League would have the most accurate information. P.S. I didn't know there was such a site as FindAGrave. That's amazing and will be a big help in the near future. I'm really not trying to cause problems. I'm an amateur Cardinals historian working on a big project and just noticed a case of what I perceive as mistaken identity.Msw sportscards (talk) 20:21, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Msw sportscards as it looks like although Henry Adkinson existed they are not notable so once you create the proper player article we should just redirect the Henry Adkinson to the new article. As for the find a grave site, you have to be careful with the text on the site (a lot of mistakes) but it can be a good source for grave/monument images to back up claims. Oh and if you have any questions on editing as your new you can always ask for help at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions where you'll find lots of friendly editors willing to help.

From Where you got this information about Halwai ?

Origins of the Halwai Caste
The Halwais have a detailed and multiple mythological accounts of the origins of their community. The most dominant account is that they have been originated from Lord Brahma, and had a common lineage with Agarwals till Pranshu. Pranshu had two sons: Modan and Pramardan, From Modan, the further decendents were Shri Yagnasen, Shri Ganinath and Shri Modansen, from whom the Halwais originated. Pramardan's decendent was Shri Agrasen, from whom the Agarwals descended.

I'm not sure how you are using the history to think I added the information, unless you have just been selecting the date parts and found that my edit was the first line that didn't contain what you think is incorrect. You need to use the "cur" to see what has change since; the "prev" to see what the edit changed; or select the edits by the "radio buttons" (highlighted circles) and use the "Compare selected revisions" cutton at the top.

Streetfighters

Hi, i edited the Streetfighters article as its simply not correct, its based on the kind of Motorcycles that appeared in Streetfighters magazine, rather then the correct facts. The photo i put up pre-dates most of the sources in the article, simply put the term was used to describe a new style of fast aggresive chopper style bike (as featured in back street heroes magazine) way before most sportsbikes even existed. There are a wealth of magazine scans around the internet that back this up.

  • Hi I assume your talking about Streetfighter and the edit that I reverted that left the article like this (even though this was by a similar but different IP address). Firstly look at the current article, the images are valid, and it has references, then look at yours here, the image is not valid, and there is no reference for the addition, plus you deleted all the referenced content. Wikipedia runs on the Golden rule most importantly in this case reliable sources. You not only removed sourced content, valid images, but added an invalid image and un-sourced (badly formatted) text. If you can find reliable sources to back up changes then great please do, but otherwise its counts as original research. If you want further help of advise on this may I suggest The Wikipedia Teahouse where you can find a number of experienced editors willing at answer questions on editing. Or in the case of this article try Wikipedia:WikiProject Motorcycling where you'll find people also interested in this subject and may be willing to help.

Susya Reversion

I had added a section regarding the controversy surrounding Susya. I didn't not alter the the rest of the page and merely added a section presenting the views of the Israeli government about the town. I would think this is relevant even if one does not agree with the Israeli position. Could you please explain why you reverted the article to remove my section rather than editing any parts you might have found problematic? Mee243

  • Hi Mee243, the only edit I have made on Susya was to revert this edit by 82.72.176.223. Your edit appears to have been removed by a mass removal by these 4 edits by Settleman which from the comment appears to be splitting the content into several articles. You content appears to now be in Khirbet Susya. Its not a subject I know about, I only reverted what looked like vandalism (an Ip editors 1st edit changing Israel to Palestine.

National Lighthouse Museum

Hello, I created this account today, and I realized I couldn't upload a picture while editing the National Lighthouse Museum page, so I just put the caption on the page and posted a request in Files for Upload. I guess that wasn't the best idea since you removed it swiftly after, along with revoking my Good Faith edits. Sorry for my silly mistake, I should've put it on the talk page or something, or waited until the picture was posted by a confirmed user. I just want to let you know I'm not a spammer or bot or something, in case you put some form of restriction or something on my account, since I plan to use this for further editing of that page, including more pictures, like of the inside of the museum.

Thank you, --KidHQ (talk) 18:30, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi KidHQ no worries at all, we all start to learn how things work around here my making a few mistakes. If you had added an edit summary at least it would have been obvious to others your reason (i.e. you had made a request at Files for Upload). Also Assume good faith is a key principle around here so no one should jump to any conclusions of you being a spammer etc, or blocking an account for such a minor thing. Unfortunately the image is unlikely to be uploaded as images on imgur appear to have a copyright attached. You can not upload locally to English Wikipedia until your auto confirmed (4 days and 10+ edits) however you can upload 'free' images to Wikimedia Commons (upload wizard here). However as it has been uploaded already they may say its been taken from the net and delete, so if you can you should delete from imgur (assuming you only uploaded to make it available for your "Files for Upload" request. Hope that helps. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 18:48, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Thank you very much for all of your help! I uploaded the photo to Wikimedia Commons, removed it from imgur, so I'll check again soon, or just wait a few days until I can upload it myself. Once again, thank you! --KidHQ (talk) 19:01, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Hi KidHQ you can use images on commons directly here on English Wikipedia (or any language Wikipedia). Where images uploaded locally can only be used on the local language they were uplaoded to. The difference is commons only accepts 'free' images, so images you take yourself or come from a compatible licence (i.e. Creative Commons Share Alike, etc. this). So I have added your image back to the article (changing the name to match). So congratulations, you've successfully donated an image to the greater good and improved an article here.

Not confirmed- but want to share my image Saguaro National Park

Hi KylieTastic!

I'm a Wikipedia newbie and wanted to add an image (that I own/took). I tried your link in the edit history but am not a confirmed account yet. I'm not sure I can think of 9 more contributions in the near term to get me to that status, is there any other way to contribute my image to the article?

Thanks so much!

  • Hi Sunshine-AZ, as you said that you have taken the images yourself then the easiest and best way is to upload to Wikimedia Commons (upload wizard here). Wikimedia Commons is a sister project of Wikipedia for hosting all copyright free media (mostly images). Any images uploaded to commons can be used directly here on Wikipedia. Commons uses the same account so no need for any other registration etc, just click on the upload wizard and follow the instructions. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 09:12, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Reason for reverting the edits?

Hi Kylie,

Could you please tell me the reason for reverting my edits completely?

Though most of them were agreeable.

And it doesn't make sense that you have done the same mistake again like using different spellings for same name "Qutub" as "Qutab" and "Qutb". If you think I have made the edits wrongly, then atleast you have must have done it the right way.

Just go and check out the edits reverted and you can find that the name qutub, qutab and qutb is used for the same name. Hope that using this way will definitely irritate the readers. So please finalize with any one of those names and use it everywhere.


And I would also strongly suggest you to add the spelling "stempede"(as edited by you) in all the dictionaries as well. Because all these days I have learnt the spelling of " stampede" as "stampede" and not "stempede" in every dictionary I have used.

But I strictly agree with one revert that you have made to my edits, i.e., the spelling of "qutbminar" in the wiki URL since the URL won't work if it is changed. But even that will be fine if the page is redirected to the new URL with the changes suggested.

One last thing from my side is, it doesn't mean how proficient and experienced you are in editing the wiki pages, but you will have to do it with perfection so that amateurs like us will gain inspiration from you rather than criticizing you.

I'm sorry if I have hurt you by my fierceful words. But I will always suggest you to review all my edits when it comes to your notice so that I can improve myself and reach heights like you in editing the Wikipedia pages.

Thank you.

Waiting for your response.

  • Hi Nirmal Balakrishnan and welcome to Wikipedia and please do not be discouraged by a revert. Editing Wikipedia is an incremental process in which we hope, and the evidence so far shows, we can build a great encyclopedia.
Sorry that one of your first edits got reverted, I understand how that feels the first time - I did not actually notice you were a new editor - it was just 1 of a few hundred edits I made yesterday. Also note that almost everyone is reverted, even administrators, seasoned editors and new editors. We all make mistakes - we are but human.
I know it may seam odd at first but the way we work here is by the policy BRD - you correctly made Bold edits; I spotted errors so I Reverted and now we are Discussing. Also you can if the reason is clear just try to edit again correcting issues such as per my edit summary fixing the "breaking ref urls, wiki-links, images."
Yes I could have corrected the introduced errors, and sometimes I do, but it is the responsibility of those making the changes not to introduce errors, and not the responsibility of other to spend time correcting them. As the page history is preserved its not like your work is deleted and lost, something that isn't always clear to new editors, so when you are reverted you can go to the history and either recover work to re-add, or you can if no one else has edited after just edit from your old version.
Although you are 100% correct of the spelling mistakes such as "stempede" these can easily be spotted and fixed, however once links to external websites, other articles and images are broken they are not obvious. So reverting these type of errors will always take prescience over typos, spelling mistakes and capitalisations.
As for your "fierceful words" I actually found you polite and friendly, just expressing obvious concerns than many of us had when we started editing here. As such you meet another of the Five pillars to aspire to here (Wikipedia:Civility).
Finally onto the article: unfortunately with a lot of articles like this there are multiple names and people assert back-and-forth and things get to be a mess. We normally try to find an official name but even officially places and people can be refereed to as different things. However my research I believe gives a conclusive answer - from the main given sources....
  • Archaeological Survey of India is a government site here uses "Qutb Minar"
  • The UNESCO World Heritage Centre is a respected site here and uses "Qutb Minar"
  • http://qutubminardelhi.com uses "Qutub Minar" but does not appear to be official in any way and its references are a mixture of Qutb and Qutub
  • Also the Plaque from the site uses "Qutb Minar" - so a very good source.
— As such it looks like "Qutb Minar" is the official name and "Qutub Minar" is used more in other cases. So I have updated the page as per this, and also added back some of your other changes (I may not have got them all) - All the best KylieTastic (talk) 13:12, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

17:50:02, 1 August 2015 review of submission by Bling Art


Bling Art (talk) 17:50, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

My page was delclined after only 10 seconds after sending it. I do not know how someone could review it in 10 seconds ?? What is needed to be done to get this well known author and artist listed ?

Please advise thank you Sunny

  • Hi Sunny as the decline notice links too we have policies for the Notability of subjects on Wikipedia, and one specific for people (Wikipedia:Notability (people)). Also there is the golden rule that states "Articles generally require significant coverage, in reliable sources, that are independent of the topic.".
  • The first link is to amazon and thus proves that they wrote a book, but is not independent writing about Andrea Jarvis as its purpose is to sell
  • The second link is a huge issue not independent either as it appears to be her own promotional site. It's important to have these links on the article, but it does not satisfy the Notability or Golden rule
  • The second link also has a massive issue I missed the first time round - pure copyright violation - the page is a copy of the About page - Wikipeida can not accept text just copied from other websites.
  • The third link just returns a "page not found" page
Lastly it was not reviewed in 10 seconds the page history shows it was submitted at 18:18 and reviewed at 18:20 - although no it did not take much longer to open three links and realise that Notability had not been met. I hope hat helps explain things, but unfortunately it will need to be completely re-written to avoid the copyright issue, and you'll need to find other sources to show notability.

  • Hi Bling Art as per my answer to your first question it took more like a minute. Also most complain in takes weeks to get a review only to be declined.

about Lane Frost wiki edits

I will admit i am not very clear on how to ask a question but here it goes. i have read about Canada's 1988 winter Olympics having bull riding as a host event and that Lane Frost had won the bronze on the gold winning us Olympic team, the teams Ted Nuce having won the gold. so when i saw that it was not listed anywhere on the Lane Frost wiki so i tried to corrected it. if i was wrong and he just won a cultural event i am sorry but as i understand it Canada chose bull riding to be their host sport, the host nation having the right remove one sport and ad another the year that they host. so from what i had read off of sport and official sights was that 1988 was the only year that rodeo was an official event and thought i should put that on wiki. if my edits where removed for another reason i would like to know.

I never even looked at this page. What on earth is happening here?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.216.222 (talk) 18:25, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi 82.132.216.222 I've just traced this IP address (see here) and it says that this is a "Confirmed proxy server" and also that this is a "Telefonica O2 UK" address. So I would guess your using the mobile network to access Wikipedia - So all this means is that someone earlier in the day was using the same service to vandalise Wikipedia. The talk page for this IP has a warning on the top that indicates it may be used by more than one user, and the page history shows today was not the first time someone used it to vandalise. So if it wasn't you then just ignore the warning and don't worry any more about it. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 18:38, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Esteban Cambiasso again

Dear KylieTastic, Thank you for your reply to my query about why you accused me of making edits on a page that I had never even visited. Yes you are right I do access Wikipedia from the O2 UK mobile network. BUT - Wikipedia has now blocked EVERYONE using this network from making edits. This is crazy. I have NEVER done anything wrong or vandaliam on your site. I am a writer, and some time ago someone put completely incorrect information on one of your pages because they had completely mis-read one of my books. At that time I was able to edit and so was able to change the awful remarks of the idiot who had written them. But now I am blocked - through no fault of my own - and therefore if someone else does the same thing I am now unable to answer. This is terrible. What is Wikipedia doing? These blanket blocks are ridiculous and completely TOTALLY unfair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.217.233 (talk) 20:17, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi 82.132.217.233 no one accused you as a person of the vandalism - as of this moment neither the previous IP is blocked see here, and that's the one that twice was used to vandalise Esteban Cambiasso earlier today. Nor is this current IP blocked see here and by the fact that you posed this. Note that there are no blanket blocks, in fact because they are not tied to individuals anonymous IP edits tend to get only short blocks to stop the behaviour at that time only. Sometimes I've seen these accounts vandalise dozens of articles before we can temporarily block them, think of the damage they can do. We always recommend anyone who wants to contribute create an account, this is even more important if you use a shared network to avoid being tainted with the actions of others. You do not even need an email address, although it only serves to help notify the user, so privacy is not an issue. To to answer "What is Wikipedia doing?" - Wikipedia is attempting to be the most open platform possible, but to safeguard the efforts of the vast majority has to put temporary blocks on anonymous IP addresses currently being used for vandalism. Without this they could destroy faster then we could repair, and that would be as you said "ridiculous and completely TOTALLY unfair". Anyone who wishes too contribute can via creating an account, and 99.99% of IP addresses can edit 'anonymously' at any point.

Hi, I'm trying to understand how the page I created "New Tech Network" is any different from something like the "EdVisions Schools" page as far as notability requirements go. EdVisions is a similar organization, so just wondering how their page is okay, but the one I have posted is not.

Thanks! PBLfan (talk) 21:36, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi PBLfan well first off Other stuff exists is not considered a good reason around Wikipedia, and is far more likely to get the other article nominated for deletion than your one accepted. However even to start with your article did not clearly link any sources at all, and note that External links should not be used (yours had 2-ish). The other article was created some time ago and it would appear procedures are getting tighter here over time (I've relativity new at a couple of years). Lastly I tend to be more of an Inclusionist but many aren't and thus even for a nonprofit you need to have a minimum number of references. I have tidied up a bit to remove some of the problems but you really need to find some other external references for New Tech Network - the more you can add the more likely it will be approved, and references also make readers more likely to believe what's said (even if they don't check the sources themselves).

I think in some cases such as old war letters copies have been uploaded to commons: however I don't think that it would be acceptable for contemporary letters as they could easily be made up. So to be totally honest I'm not sure - sorry. So I think for an answer on those letters you'll have to ask more experience editors in this area - I'd suggest either the Wikipedia:Teahouse or the Reliable sources/Noticeboard.

Message (Filigree)

Dear Kylie,

I decided to return to our talk and to tell you, that, because of your very helpful review, I realized, that my article is not really suitable for Wikipedia: recently I carefully studied all the rules, what made clear for me, that a personal admiration of the talents of artists is not enough reason for these persons to be in Wikipedia. Thanks for your friendly advice - I am on the way to the point, where I can start to call myself a real User. But before that, I need your advice again, if it's possible: as I like to read all Wikipedia materials about art, I found the article, called Filigree, and it was all fine in this article including all beautiful pictures, with the exception of one picture at the very end of the article, called Filigree silver earrings Mauro Cateb - Own work. For me this picture was not a pleasant surprise, because instead of filigree work you can see there a metal work, unrelated to filigree work completely. It can create confusion, as people are ready to see the information in Wikipedia as a very reliable one. So, my question is - how can I remove this image and explain why I did it not to upset a person, who uploaded it, as I am ready to explain, why this item is not a filigree work in a polite way? What link would you recommend and in which form should I do it? Great thanks in advance. Regards, Kur. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kur Kerdirichi (talk • contribs) 20:24, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Kur I wish more people were as understanding when it came to such things - many people have people/topics that they admire that haven't yet reach notability standards and want to add them. Often people get very upset and take it personally when articles are declined. You never know, maybe at some point later some more people will write about Jim Oliver and he'll meet notability.
Filigree is not an area I know about but I do agree with you that the last picture does not match the description in the lead section at all. As with all such edits the advise is to firstly Be bold (a key part to WP:BRD) - the second is to leave a clear Edit summary. If you removed with an edit summary explaining you do not believe it to be Filigree, and certainly not a good example, that would be clear and polite. If an editor disagreed they may revert and you can discuss on either the users talk page or the articles talk page. However, I would guess though this was added just because the file-name contained Filigree and not because the editor particularly wanted the image included - It's not their own image, and they have only edited the article once. Hope that helps, all the best KylieTastic (talk) 20:52, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Ohio maps

Please stop reverting me on Ohio map additions (example) — I'm in the middle of uploading maps for all Ohio communities (more than 2200 in total), and barring mistakes, the maps you're removing will exist. If one doesn't exist, I've made a mistake somewhere along the line (for example, with Milton Center, the file was misnamed at upload), and I need to be alerted: reverting leaves the article where it was, without the map, but alerting me will allow me to fix the problem. Nyttend (talk) 05:15, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Nyttend sorry for the confusion, but I was attempting to do what you've asked "alerting me will allow me to fix the problem", just a case of two different approaches to achieve the same goal. I reverted fully expecting you to fix the problems when notified by the revert notification. Also I had not seen your previous edit summaries such as here as they were not reverts or mentions. However I did make a mistake last night with [7] as I had meant to put a more specific comment rather than just one of my pre-defined comments - fingers working quicker than my brain going through the daily issues flagged on Category:Articles with missing files. I'll try to notice any more of these from your work and leave a friendly note on your talk page in future. I had looked at your uploads on commons the first couple of times as I thought they may have been typos, but didn't spot them as you have been very hard at work an uploaded a lot. However after seeing your fixes I kicked myself as I should have noticed them. On a side note as your working an Ohio I wonder if you'd look as this edit after yours on Athens, Ohio - it broke an image but I was not sure if the image filename should just be corrected or if the whole edit should be reverted - I'm not sure if the editors summary is correct or just their personal opinion? All the best, and keep up the good work. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:11, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Ah, I'm sorry. I completely forgot that the Notifications thing, by default, notifies you when someone reverts you. I disabled that option as soon as it came out, because it makes it so easy to get into edit wars: it's much less tempting to edit-war with someone, and much less stressful, if you don't know that you got reverted :-) I wouldn't have noticed, except that Milton Center appears on Special:RecentChangesLinked for User:Nyttend/Ohio, which links all Ohio municipalities and townships that haven't yet gotten images: I check it frequently, hoping to notice any pages that got illustrated, so that I can discover if anyone's started adding hometown images and ask the "anyone" if he'd be willing to contribute more local images. Athens: I don't think that we need to. "Uptown" is also used elsewhere, e.g. one goes "uptown" from campus in Oxford, Ohio, but at least in Athens, it's also "downtown"; see Athens Downtown Historic District for example. I just edited the Athens article, and while I don't think file renaming would be appropriate (especially because it's the first word; one could say that it's just descriptive, "an image from downtown Athens", not a proper noun), since it doesn't meet any of the Commons renaming criteria, I didn't undo anything that the IP had done, except for putting back the filename. Nyttend (talk) 12:33, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the reply Nyttend, I had forgotten that you could disable that notification - it's a pity there is not an indication when notification are sent or not when making edits. If there was indicators of if people had been notified of revert and mentions or not it would make it easier to know when to leave a talk page message.... but I don't think that's a feature likely to get added :/ Thanks for the edit on Athens, Ohio, and as I said I'll leave you a proper message if any other Ohio map issues pop up.

Title date is wrong on "Peeping Tom (1897 film)"

Hello Kylie Tastic,

I understand why you felt me changing the dates was not constructive to the page, but the date on that page is inaccurate. Peeping Tom directed by Ferdinand Zecca was made in 1901...not 1897. Ferdinand Zecca's first film was 1899 so he couldn't have made the film in 1897. Also nobody was making films with this kind of sophistication in their narrative editing in 1897. George Albert Smith has been cited as being the first director to use narrative editing in the film "The Kiss In The Tunnel" which was made in 1899. This 1897 date predates that cited film by 2 years. Zecca learned from Smith not the other way around. Smith's movies are not as sophisticated a Zecca's because Smith is discovering the technique for the first time in film history. Zecca expands on it as film technique advances. I wanted to change the title from "Peeping Tom (1897 film)" to "Peeping Tom (1901 film)" but couldn't figure out how to do it. If you want to verify my statement then go to Google and type in Peeping Tom Zecca and you will find sites that confirm that it was made in 1901. Also this movie is on a DVD box set called "Movies Begin". If you go to Google and type in Movies Begin the first listing is the kinolorber.com site which Kino Lorber is the company making that disc. Click on that site and the 4th disc is called Experimentation and Discovery and it lists "Peeping Tom (1901)".

Hopefully this can be changed by either you or someone else because the history's wrong in that title. It should be title "Peeping Tom (1901)".

Thanks for listen to me on this. I was hoping to be able to contact Wikipedia to get it corrected. That way I can link the 1901 film page to this title subject page and maybe add some more details to the page like the directors name (Ferdinand Zecca).

If you have any more questions please let me know.

Sincerely,

  • Hi 67.7.10.116 ok first off I see that you meant well by your edit so I will remove the warning. Also I'm not doubting that a film called Peeping Tom (or similar) directed by Ferdinand Zecca was made in 1901. However I'm not sure why you think Peeping Tom (1897 film) relates to the Ferdinand Zecca film. You state "Zecca learned from Smith" and that Zecca film was 1901, and the IMDB link on Peeping Tom (1897 film) says it was made by George Albert Smith in 1897, and a comment states "Ferdinand Zecca made a more elaborate version of it in 1901, with almost no change save a more elaborate ending.". This also matches the YouTube video info here. So as far as I can tell from both what you have said and the sources that Peeping Tom (1897 film) is the George Albert Smith (film pioneer) film and currently Wikipedia does not have an article for the Ferdinand Zecca version in 1901. In fact I just found "Par le trou de la serrure" (Through the keyhole?) is also on YouTube here but they do actually appear to be the same. The only other thing you say is that the date of Smiths version seams early as before "The Kiss In The Tunnel" which was made in 1899, however that appears to be based on a judgement of technique - and this is not an area I have a clue about!
However in the it comes down to the Golden rule and reliable sources - (in theory) all information added to articles should be verifiable from sources, and no Original research. It appears you agree "Zecca learned from Smith", and I think we can agree a film (probably called "Par le trou de la serrure" rather than "Peeping Tom") was made by Ferdinand Zecca was made in 1901. I think you either think Smiths version did not exist, or was just later than 1897 but in either case a source would be needed to back that up.
In summary as far as I can tell this is two different issues:

PBA to PBE but again to PBA, why?

Why did you revert back the grammatically correct changes I made? Affect is a verb. It should be 'Effect' - a noun. Aks23121990 (talk) 11:42, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Aks23121990, at first I noticed the edit due to it causing errors on the page (breaking an image, multiple wiki-links, and editing a reference url). 'Fixing' grammar, spelling, typos, etc without looking at the context can cause lots of problems. Wikipedia articles are not just plain text, and things such as markup, file-names, linked article names, reference urls cannot just be changed. As such you need to be more careful when 'fixing' things.
  • Secondly is the wider 'context': where the article refers to something that may have grammar, spelling, typos, etc. for example I have come across paintings, music works, book title, place names, etc that have these errors in them in 'real-life' - so if for instance a book has a grammar/spelling issue in it then that is still its title and must not be corrected. If an American came across your name should they "fix the date format" and call you User:Aks12231990? A name/title etc is what it is and should not be 'fixed'.
  • In this case as per the article title it appears to be "Pseudobulbar affect" not "Pseudobulbar effect" - look at the sources. If you Google "Pseudobulbar effect" it asks "Did you mean: 'Pseudobulbar affect'". Also one of the links you broke was to Affect (psychology) (its not Effect (psychology)) - this along with the article title and the sources should have made you stop and wonder why? I believe that in psychology (and possibly some other medical fields) affect is used for a reason I do not know. If someone is diagnosed with "Pseudobulbar affect" or PBA, it really is not going to be helpful if someone has 'fixed' the grammar to "Pseudobulbar effect" and PBE.
  • In short "Pseudobulbar affect" (PBA) appears to be the correct term on its own and thus you cannot just break it up and assert grammatically rules on it.
I'm sure you meant well and your edit was in good faith, but please be careful of context when fixing grammar, spelling, typos, etc - All the best KylieTastic (talk) 12:15, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Well your three edits after this one ([8], [9] & [10]) clearly show you are a vandal. However I understand you are doing this out of a difference of opinion - as such edits will never be left un-reverted why not try to add constructive alternate positions sections instead of these destructive edits.

Leah Goldstein

Hi Kylie,

I noticed that you removed my revisions on the Leah Goldstein "Wiki". I am one of Leah's consultants and we were wondering if you could guide us on how to add something less promotional that would be approved here. Thank you.

Penny Pennyturko (talk) 15:49, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Penny yes I reverted your edits because they did appear to not be written from a Neutral point of view and did appear to be more Promotional rather than Encyclopedic. Also I see that Editorofthewiki had reverted your previous attempt for the same reason. This is why Wikipedia has a policy on Conflict of interest as although not completely banned, writing with a COI is discouraged as even with the best intentions its difficult to be Neutral. (Note the links are to the relevant Wikipedia policies). There were also other problems caused by you also being a new editor such as random <gallery> tags; trying to hot-link external images; inline External links; duplication of content; and a big problem being lack of References for any of the additions. Another key principle to be aware of is the Wikipedia:Five pillars. As for the promotional aspect of your edits they were written like a marketing piece for promote the book. Phrases like "a stunning example", "A natural athlete", "extreme lifestyle", "horrific crash", "But even Shermer’s Neck wouldn’t stop Leah" and not neutral or Encyclopedic. So I would recommend not trying to add such material back in. If however you have simple factual additions or correction, such as results since 2009 to bring things up to date that would be ok (but due to the noted COI other could disagree) - but for instance results should be as per the existing years, list of results not embellished - note content with references may be removed buy others see Help:Referencing for beginners for how to add a reference. Also If you want to add an image it must be uploaded WP:UPIMAGE (copyright allowing). Hope that helps explain things a bit. If you have more questions feel free to ask me, or if you want broader help you can ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 17:54, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi 178.167.254.106 images can only be used on Wikipedia, whether on Articles or other pages such as user pages, if they are uploaded WP:UPIMAGE either to English Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. For both you need an account, and locally you need to have been registered for four days and made 10+ edits. However apart from some "fair use" cases the images must by copyright free (either public domain, has never been copyrighted, or is licensed under an open licence such as Creative Commons CC-BY or similar). In this case although there is no obvious copyright claim, there is no free license statement so they will be treated as copyrighted by commons. If you actually own the copyright you have to email in with the required information to 'prove' you didnt just steal it from a website etc. See Commons:OTRS for details. Hope that helps.

Mgmcs (talk) 04:39, 9 September 2015 (UTC) i want to get involved with wikipedia but i don't understand what i am supposed to do, to add something to an article now in wikipedia. what do i do, where do i go, how do i do it? wikipedia is not user friendly to me. can you give direction? in the article olly olly oxen free i would like it to include the following information: the french, allez allez aux hommes (free)means go go men free

  • Hi Mgmcs, I'm sorry that you haven't found Wikipedia friendly to you - but you have been answered in a friendly way when you asked before, maybe you did not see the answers? Also you have said you want to add to Olly olly oxen free but you keep trying to create a new article? Are you actually trying to create or add? You first asked at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk here and got an answer with several options. You then asked at the Wikipedia:Help desk here and have another answer. As this second answer points out:
"Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a translation service - so simply adding "In French, the phrase is XXXX" is not appropriate. If you have a reliably published source that discusses how the French phrase has been influenced by or influenced the English phrase, then that type of content can be added."
I did a quick Google search and found no hits for "allez allez aux hommes" so this does not look like a valid thing.
If you want to get involved with Wikipedia then I would suggest maybe play The Wikipedia Adventure to learn how to edit. Also if you have questions the best place for a friendly answer is the Wikipedia Teahouse. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 09:51, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Request on 14:17:36, 10 September 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Woodrowwilson1912


Hopefully someone other than Onel5969 can review this submission. Onel5969 is clearly biased for whatever reason, maybe, based on Onel5969's page, because s/he is originally from the town where this firm is headquartered and has an issue with it. In any event, there are multiple secondary, verifiable sources in this article, including the New York Times, Bloomberg, New Jersey Law Journal, United States District Court for the District of New Jersey website, Ballotpedia, Super Lawyers publication, and PolitickerNJ.com. There should be no issue with approving this article. Thank you.

Woodrowwilson1912 (talk) 14:17, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Woodrowwilson1912 I'm fairly new to reviewing "Articles for creation" so for now I'm just sticking to the clear cases. The first submission only had decotiislaw.com references so clearly failed independent notability. You have added a number of other external refs so have fixed that issue. So its certainly been improved both after my review and again after Onel5969's review. However I'll leave it up to someone with more experience for now. Good luck with it.

Response (olly olly oxen free)

i followed your suggestions but i'm afraid i am still confused. yes, you have been very friendly but i still don't know how to include my suggestion for that page. i understand wikipedia is not a translation service. when i started this there were 2 references in the olly olly oxen free page that the phrase may have come from other languages: 1. [citation needed] All-y all-y in come free is phoenetically very similar to the Dutch phrase " Alle Alle inkom vrij" (Everyone is allowed in free/ all free entrance) 2. There is also some speculation[attribution needed] that the phrase originates from the German phrase "alle alle auch sind frei", which loosely translated means "everyone is also free". Mispronunciation of this by non-German children resulted in the current "olly olly oxen free".[citation needed]

NOW as of sept.7,2015 they are no longer in the article . i just wanted to add to the article that in the french language allez, allez aux hommes (free) may have been the source of olly olly oxen free. thank you in advance for reading this. i still would like to get more involved with wikipedia besides my monetary contributions for the past few years and will keep trying to figure out how to do that.05:21, 11 September 2015 (UTC)Mgmcs (talk)

  • Hi Mgmcs you can see who changed an article by looking at the "View History" for the pages, and see the Edit summaries for why. In this case it was TheRedPenOfDoom doing a tidy up probably because of the questions you have asked and they answered. This often happens when you start working on and talking about an article... other editors notice and will join in. You may be correct that "allez, allez aux hommes" is related, but often these links between phrases are lost over time and can't be shown to be true. The same goes for the Dutch and German versions. I can believe they are all linked. However, it may just be a coincidence hence why Wikipedia requires sources. I know its frustrating but it is a problem that most Wikipedians run into that if you can't find a source then it shouldn't be added. I have had several things I could not add for lack of a source, and also no been able to add images because I could not locate a copyright free one. So you can continue to try to find a source, or just decide to leave this one and find some other articles you can improve. It's nice to see someone with a desire to get involved, so I hope the frustration with this will not put you off. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 11:49, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Photo Question

Dear Kylie,

I am returning to you for an advice again. Just came back from the interesting trip to Germany, where I have made several photos in Berlin, which, in my view, are worth publishing on related pages. I know, that only those, who made not less than 10 contributions can do it, but I have just one so far; so, is there some way for me to do it with my only one contribution? I heard, that it is possible to place the photo into Wikipedia Commons and then take it from there, but how can I do it and does it apply to my case? Regards, Kur.Kur Kerdirichi (talk) 20:38, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Kur Kerdirichi glad you had an interesting trip. If you have taken pictures yourself then commons: is always the best place for them. Just use the upoad file link on the left hand menu to the Upload Wizard to add them. You can then use the images direct of English Wikipedia (or any other language) directly with no other extra mark-up. Each language Wikipedia can use there own local images and those on commons. You are also already able to add images locally as I notice you have already discovered as your question here and then at the teahouse completed your 10 edits.

Route markers

Hi KylieTastic. In the future, if you come across missing route markers such as you did at List of road routes in Victoria (numeric) ([11]), would you be able to request them at WP:HWY/RM? That way the missing images can be noticed and created, rather than the article potentially languishing without them unless someone like myself happens to be watchlisting it. Cheers, and thanks for your good work on missing images - Evad37 [talk] 14:02, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Evad as you can see from the WP:HWY/RM history I usually do this, or create myself. However in the past a lot of the non standard markers such as alternate/historical have been problematic to source so I made a judgement call to comment out, and had meant to then post to WP:HWY/RM with the diff to revert the removals if someone was going to create. I then got distracted, and forgot - oops! Sorry about that. Also I was being a bit lazy as I should be off to work and didn't actually look up the markers myself to see if they would be easy to make, which they would have been! Thanks for catching and fixing - Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:16, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

RGunz (talk) 22:41, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello,

I was hired by Krystin Goodwin to create a Wikipedia page for her. She works for USA Today, Huffington Post, AOL, etc... but all the information I have for the page comes from her directly and her IMDB page. I was told in the chat room that as those sources aren't "reliable," I can't possibly create a page for this journalist, at least as a "notable" person. Is there any other category I can place her page into? Would I be able to cite her work with USA Today, HuffPo, etc?

Thanks.

  • Hi RGunz, there are a few issues here but the all revolve around What Wikipedia Is and What Wikipedia is not. Primarily it's an Encyclopedia and not a place for promotion. Also by your own statement here you have a Conflict of interest and thus very strongly discouraged from editing affected articles. As for the actual questions the same rules apply for Notability and reliable sources - so she would have to have done something of note for USA Today, HuffPo, etc. These articles do not have a list of all the journalists that have or do work for them. Most people are not notable, and I would guess most journalists aren't as their job is to write about others and not to be written about.

Thanks!Writerlauren (talk) 19:05, 17 September 2015 (UTC) Writerlauren (talk) 19:05, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Writerlauren I'm actually new to reviewing articles and for the moment just picking up easy accepts/declines so I'm no expert. However in this case I would say that the main problem is four of the sources don't appear to mention Innotech and the last one is from their own website. So it breaks the Golden rule badly. Also the article appears to be more about Laser printing (that already exists) than Innotech Laser, so it basically needs more about Innotech_Laser to be found/referenced.

What do i specifically need for my page to be approved?

Other than references, which i added. I don't know any other way to reference my sorority other than our homepage.

I added those, but i don't want to be rejected again, so could you please give more feedback? Thanks Naiele3 (talk) 03:30, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Naiele3 unfortunately if there hasn't been any coverage of your sorority then it won't pass the Wikipedia:Golden rule on Notability. Notability is the general standard by which all articles are judged to stop there being an article about everything and everybody in the world. Sorry, I know it's not really the answer you were hoping for. If you want more input or a second opinion from other editors I would suggest asking at the Wikipedia Teahouse where lots of experienced editors try to help. All the best KylieTastic (talk)

Dear Kylie,

You edited Sam Sarpongs Wikipedia page. There was a mistake in his age, and year born the correct age is 34 and year born 1979. Your edit states 1975. I have enclosed three links that prove his age. If you can please change it back to the original age it would be apprecited. I was contacted by another editor who told me I had to submit it via the articl'es talk page as its the approipetate way.

That was back on the 3rd September, and I see a lot has moved on from then. I see other editors have questioned the DOB: Stabila711 said "Removed birth date. Conflicting sources on birth year (some say 1975, others say 1979)" which was removing 1980 that you entered, and Dbfirs said "Removed dubious birth year" in the last edit. The links you give are not really reliable sources as they tend to just gather dates from any source including each other. I see his twitter link to http://samsarpong.com but the site does not work so can't tell it he has an official bio up. As the validity of the date has been questioned a good reliable source is required as per the policy on Biographies of living persons. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:26, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Tribute to my friend

KylieTastic,

I see that you declined the article I submitted about Gaige Robbins, my 19 year old friend who lost his battle with cancer last month. I would like to know why. His attitude throughout his long fight made him famous not only throughout his community but throughout the entire world. He gained supporters from places from as far as Tokyo, which is obviously a long ways from Melbourne, FL. If you knew a little about his story, maybe you would've thought twice before your decision in declining it. Please read his story and then decide again if you should've declined it.

Here are some links to Gaige's story: http://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/local/2015/06/29/gaige-robbins-cancer-laughing-matter/29469769/ http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/08/24/cancer-patient-surprised-adam-sandler-dies/32297269/ http://www.mynews13.com/content/news/cfnews13/news/article.html/content/news/articles/cfn/2015/4/3/melbourne_skydiving_surprise.html https://www.facebook.com/SupportGaige

I hope that I do not sound rude. I apologize if I am. But I am extremely frustrated and offended someone would decline something I am making in tribute to my fallen friend.

Thank you for reading this and again, I apologize if I sounded rude. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.47.201.29 (talk) 23:31, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi 71.47.201.29 firstly sorry for your loss - its a tough thing to watch someone die of cancer, and even worse at a young age. The reason the article for declined was because Wikipedia only accepts articles that pass Notability and the Golden rule. This is not a judgement on how important the subject is - for instance many charities doing important work do not pass Notability as they do it without publicity. In this case your article was totally un-referenced which would be accepted by no reviewer - however as you've shown above they do exist so you could add them. Most importantly an AFC decline is not a rejection of the article outright only of the version submitted. So it's possible if you add references to the article and re-submit that it would be accepted, but I haven't had time to look deeper at the links as I'm at work. I just wanted to reply quickly due to the sensitive nature - If you want further advise from friendly experienced editors I would suggest asking for advice at the Wikipedia Teahouse.

What's up with Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images?

You have Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images listed under things you're doing on Wikipedia on your user page. I didn't even know it was possible to wedge the thumb parameter into an infobox template... and what would be the point? The template resizes images to fit in the infobox anyway. On the other hand, is it actually a problem for someone to put the thumb parameter in an infobox image? Does it cause display issues? I'm just curious about this as I like adding infoboxes and infobox images to articles when I can, and want to make sure I'm doing it right. Plus if I understand the problem, I can fix instances of it I come across. P.S. Your edit here (I can never remember how to wikilink diffs) made me laugh out loud, so thanks for the giggle! —GrammarFascist contribstalk 03:33, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi GrammarFascist unfortunately as you can see by the ~6000 entries it is possible and done often enough! It's usually done only because new users don't understand the infobox parameters. It's not a big problem, but I think it's ugly (and I think its mentioned in a policy as being discouraged). So I have a link to the category and sometimes have a bash as fixing up a few, however it takes a low priority compared to most of the other things I work on. It's usually something I only do when I just don't want to deal with vandals, or things that require more thought. Glad I made you laugh with that comment :) — All the best KylieTastic (talk) 09:59, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Bot edit

Tracked in Phabricator

Thank you for reverting my recent bot edit on Torchon lace. I've manually fixed the reference, and reported the incorrect changing of the File links to the AWB developers.

in English it's Irish . but it is one of the oldest languages in westren Europe the word Gaelic is not a language but a group of languages decended from the Irish . which includes Gaidhlig = Scottish and manx = Gaelg . i got Goalann wrong it's proounced Gay linn .anyway im getting sick of people not knowing what it's called . even people from Ireland don't know . i made this video to clear things up once and for all . Gaeilge seems to be the most popular deliect . thats probably why people get confused . there are 3 delicts Gaelic Gaeilge and Gaoliann . if you have any questions let me know . note Scottish Gaelic or Gaidhlig is not called Gaelic it's called Gaidhlig and pronunced GAH LICK . and there's also manx Gaelg . they are all decended from old Irish called Goidelic. so they are all Goidelic languages . there are 3 delicts of Irish Gaelic Gay lick . Gaelige GAEL A GA which is the most spoken and Gaolainn GAY LINN which is the least spoken . the delict that is the only celtic language in the EU is Gaeilge . so the 3 delicts are GAELIC = GAY LICK .GAEILGE = GAEL A GA .

13:22:17, 3 October 2015 review of submission by Lorzendel2


You don't accept a reference to a major newspaper such as the Denver Post???? (I could also cite others.) You have heard of Denver, CO, haven't you? (----).

  • Hi Lorzendel2 it looks like you just need to sort out your referencing - if you mean that adding <Copy of Denver Post article held by D.L. Hudson> is a valid reference. It means no more to readers that "A piece of paper on my desk". So yes we definitely accept all major newspapers as good sources but they have to be cited properly. Also to make it clear a decline for Notability reasons is not that the subject is not notable, just that the version of the article does not yet demonstrate it. See Help:Referencing for beginners, and I'm off to work in a minute so if you have any questions on improving your article so it will be accepted ask the friendly people at the Wikipedia:Teahouse (I'll also answer there when I've got time). All the best KylieTastic (talk) 13:35, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Newspaper References

So, to accept a newspaper reference (A recognized newspaper, etc.) WHat am I supposed to do with copies of a fairly long, detailed articles about Delton Hudson and his music? It has to be turned into something with a URL? I would have to scan it on my printer, then save it into my computer, then what? Upload the article to Wikipedia--I don't thing that is right, since in the guidelines it looks as though readers just have to have a way of clicking on a URL to access it ? (I am studying the guidelines, etc. (----). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lorzendel2 (talk • contribs) 17:04, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Lorzendel2 just a quick answer as I'm still at work - No not all references have to be online, although these are preferred as they can more easily be checked or used by users who just want to read more. Also although it would be nice to upload scanned copies for people to read unless very old documents these normally could not be uploaded legally due to copyright. The essential point is to give enough information that if someone had access to a good library that they could locate text if its from newspapers, books, journals etc. So say for your "Copy of Denver Post article held by D.L. Hudson" the missing information would be the date and page. See References not online and Citation quick reference which recommends using {{cite news}}. If your using the the normal editor (not the new visual one) you should see a "Cite" option on the right of the toolbar above the edit area - click this and you get the cite toolbar - you have a drop down list of citation types that will given you a form to fill in rather than having to use the templates directly which I know can be confusing to new users. However if it is all to confusing just add all the information so others could fix up the formal style later i.e. for example add something like: <ref>Denver Post Newspaper - 3rd October 2015 - page 99 - "Article title ...."</ref>. Hope that helps explain things a bit - all the best KylieTastic (talk) 17:29, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

OK, I had never thought about copyright on newspapers! So I will study some more, though your example you gave me is quite clear. What about the letter from Paul Creston, one of America/s most famous composers? Should I upload it-- I mean shorter things like that, or program notes from performances, etc.? Cheers, Del — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lorzendel2 (talk • contribs) 16:03, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Lorzendel2 just a quick reply as I'm currently not well so not doing much wiki work. I'm glad my example was clear, but I'm afraid I don't know the answer about the best way to handle letters or similar items. Assuming there are no copyright or other legal issues they could be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons as they host all media and then easily referenced. I've come across old war letters being uploaded before but I'm not sure if its an issue if the people are still alive? I'm afraid you'll have to ask someone with more knowledge on this one (been doing this 2 years but still lots to learn) - I'd suggest asking at the Wikipedia:Teahouse - a number of long time editors and admins answer questions there so they should hopefully know the answer.

Randy Ryan page?

This is probably a little misunderstanding about this "Randy Ryan" page but... The original page was 'Randy ryan', however with the last name not capitalized I moved it to a proper title of 'Randy Ryan' and added a link so that it could be verified as a real person and wouldn't be deleted. I guess the author reinstated the article I originally moved (since they seem they might have not gotten the jist of Wikipedia's basics or known the reason why I moved the page). I just wanted to make sure were on the same page, hope you have a great rest of your day! Adog104 (talk) 22:50, 9 October 2015 (UTC)Adog104

  • Hi Adog104, it took me a while to catch on but I see what happened now - Twinkle posted the notice on your page rather than on the creators! Sorry about that, yes I was just marking the Randy ryan copy for speedy deletion. As for your second question, yes you can remove messages from your own talk page if there was an error, or if a situation has been dealt with. In fact the only times I believe its not allowed to deleted from your own page is if its disruptive or dishonest: such as removing vandalism warnings to avoid the escalation process, or editing other editors comments to say things they didn't say. I've removed it myself anyway in this case. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 12:00, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Systems Engineering

Hello, KylieTastic

I am Cherdchai Iamwongsrikul, and I have some suggestions that I would like you to review.

I would like to suggest that the term "Systems Engineering" is ungrammatical. And the grammatical term should be "System Engineering".

In case there are two noun words, the first noun gives more detail to the following noun. And the first noun must be in "Singular form".

Let's think about these questions.

How do you call a kind of business which washes, cleanses, and waxes customers' automobiles ? - Car care business OR - Cars care business ? Car care business is the correct one.

How do you call the making use of illegal labor of many children ? - Child labor OR - Children labor ? Child labor is the correct one.

How do you call a kind of brush which usually people use this kind of brushes to brush not just one tooth but many teeth ? - Tooth brush OR - Teeth brush ? Tooth brush is the correct one. Note: Tooth(singular), Teeth(plural)

How do you call a kind of paste which usually is used not just for brushing a tooth but for brushing many teeth ? - Toothbrush OR - Teethbrush ? Toothbrush is the correct one.

How do you call a place especially made for parking many cars ? (Not just for 1 car to be parked) - Car park OR - Cars park ? Car park is the correct one. We can see that even the place is used for parking many cars, it is still called "car park", not "cars park".

As the word "system" is singular and the word "systems" is plural, the grammatically correct term should be "system engineering".

Finally, if you have any suggestion I am willing and ready to look into it.


Respectfully yours, Cherdchai Iamwongsrikul — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cherdchai Iamwongsrikul (talk • contribs) 22:11, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Cherdchai Iamwongsrikul, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia based on what is available from reliable sources - many things in the world are not spelt 'correctly' or follow the 'correct' grammatical rules.
  • If you actually looked at the sources you would see it is known as "Systems engineering". Maybe you want to tell NASA and the DOD that they are wrong?
  • You examples such as car park does not work as you park your car (singular) in a car park; similarly child labour is about it being wrong for a single child to do child labour; but "systems engineering" is not the collection/plural of doing system engineering, but engineering on "systems" as a singular entity. It is to engineer a solution with regard to a group of systems, not a singular system.
  • You also blindly changed "Systems engineering" to "System engineering" breaking reference urls, images, the actual names of books, wiki links, etc leaving an awful mess.
So even if you were correct you would still be wrong on all these points: a url is what is it, so is a book name, or image name, or wiki link name etc
  • In you previous edits you changed other peoples comments on the talk page. You should not change other peoples comments on any talk pages. It is considered highly rude in general - plus in this case makes it look like others agree with you when they did not.
  • You also did the same to International Property Rights Index with these edits - without looking at the source: http://internationalpropertyrightsindex.org - again maybe you would care to tell the international organisation they are wrong?
  • Others do the same such as earlier History of Cleveland was changed to 'correct' a spelling error - but they were wrong! The place is called Cleveland but the guy is called Moses Cleaveland
In summary don't apply your own grammatical ideas to established topics, and never do a search/replace without looking at the context of each. If you find a page where the title and all/most of the references look 'wrong' to you there is probably a good reason for it. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 22:59, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

14:35:16, 30 October 2015 review of submission by Mortgage loans

Hi just wondering if you could provide any further advice for getting this published. There are a variety of financial/real estate trade publications that publish LifeComps results on a recurring basis as evidence of legitimacy, although they are not a source for the article. One can just google LifeComps to view. Thanks for your assistance.

  • Hi Mortgage loans yes I agree it looks like respected organisations do re-publish LifeComps data, however I cannot see any that write about it as required by WP:Notability and the golden rule. A decline does not mean the article topic is not important just that it does not meet the WP:Notability standard that Wikipedia uses. As such it look like the data is considered useful, but not to a degree anyone has decided to write about it. Without reliable sources to show notability it would be more promotional that encyclopaedic. As organisations/publications do appear to be using the data hopefully at some point they may write the odd piece on the company/index at which point the article could be created. However as I see they have been around since 2003 it could be that the sources already exist but just not easy to find - the way search engines work would mean that all the links to big organisations/publications just using the data now would probably swamp out the odd little article in the past, so you may want to just send time digging. If you want to get further input and maybe other ideas I would suggest asking at the Wikipedia:Teahouse. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 12:11, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

It seems like you removed a link to a deleted file[12] which had been deleted WP:CSD#F1 because it was redundant to another file.[13] It would have been far better to have changed the link to the "duplicate" file File:Hydrogen bond arrangements in Schellman loops.pdf particularly because this later file was then sent to FFD as being "unused", Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2015 October 25#File:Hydrogen bond arrangements in Schellman loops.pdf Best wishes. Thincat (talk) 10:06, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Thincat Yup, your correct that is what I should have done and actually mean to do generally do when images are removed as being redundant or duplicates. I just missed it in this case so thanks for catching my mistake and fixing. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:42, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
    • Yes, cheers. My reading of WP:CSD#F1 is that only unused files should be speedied but it's possible to read it as allowing used poorer quality files to be deleted. So I don't think the file should have been deleted in the first place. Also, to me the FFD seems be of highly dubious validity. Thincat (talk) 12:23, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
Just thinking more about your comment. Are "lower-quality/resolution copies" often deleted, do you know, even if they are in use in articles or was the speedy a rather one-off aberration? Thincat (talk) 12:26, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Hi Thincat I agree that WP:CSD#F1 states it is for unused and thus I would think should not have been used without first changing the uses of the image so it becomes unused. It's my understanding that this is what more normally happens as it both improves articles and keeps things tidy. Luckily its not something I come across that often but it does happen now and then - unfortunately as we now have bots (Filedelinkerbot & CommonsDelinker) that delink most deleted images they would not catch this (I don't think they do anyway) - although they could be asked to check for it. You could also message RHaworth as he deleted this image to see if they would normally fix up articles and this was just an over-site this time?

Hey Kylie! Gaurav here from Mumbai, India.

I just opened Wikipedia this morning (IST) to read about something and this message popped up -

I wish to clarify that I have not made any changes to the said page and I hardly ever edit Wikipedia. On the internet, IP addresses are usually hopping from one person to the other and so I guess its a bug if such errors are shown to random people visiting the site (without logging in)

Let me know your views on this and I'd be willing to share any more information required to clarify this issue further.

Those edits were a long time ago so no one would have associated with you. Its unfortunate that new users get the shock of warnings for edits they didn't make.

Hi,

what kind of references should i use in the article? as it was published in just some news papers

  • Hi User:Rizwan ashraf khaksar Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia and your article currently reads like a newspaper opinion column. Firstly if by "it was published in just some news papers" you mean this article was then we can not accept as it would not be allow as per Copyright violations. If you mean that the information comes from various news papers then look at Help:Referencing for beginners which covers all references including newspapers. Also note articles need to follow the Wikipedia:Golden rule i.e. "Articles generally require significant coverage,in reliable sources,that are independent of the topic." Finally, Wikipedia articles need to be written from a Neutral point of view and this article at the moment reads like a very non-neutral opinion piece.

Frank Stanford

Re: your Frank Stanford edits and deletions. Your actions constitute vandalism. In fact, I am the copyright holder and the photographer of the photo you deleted of his grave. I took the photo myself on October 13, 1998 at his grave at St. Benedict's Cemetery at Subiaco, AR; I also personally scanned it and uploaded it to Wikipedia. Save your scorched earth editing for trivial pages and meaningless subjects. The Frank Stanford page is meticulously researched and scrupulously coded, in large part by me and I and others don't appreciate vandals such as yourself who flagrantly violate Wikipedia codes of conduct to advance a personal agenda that does not come close to overriding the consensus reached on Frank Stanford content by myself and pothers knowledgeable on the subject who created the page. Marking a photo for deletion that should not have been deleted proves you are a vandal and your access should be restricted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ozarkhighlands (talk • contribs) 00:13, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Ozarkhighlands before accusing people of vandalism you should check your facts first. Your list of false accusations shows that in contradiction to your claim that you do not understand the "Wikipedia codes of conduct". I suggest you read Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:Vandalism for a start. Now onto your points....
  • "your Frank Stanford edits and deletions" - I've made 1 edit only on that page and as per my edit summary it was to revert your reversion of the ImageRemovalBot edits thus adding back the already deleted images. This just meant you added red-linked error messages back to the article. You appear to have made no effort to reinstate the images, and failed to give an edit summary with your reversals.
  • "Your actions constitute vandalism" - I doubt you can find any admin or experienced editor that would think removing invalid links to previously deleted images giving a hint to the correct action (aka re-upload or restored by OTRS first) could be called vandalism.
  • "In fact, I am the copyright holder...." - Good then you should either re-upload, msg the deleting admin, or use another of the official routes to reinstate the image.
  • "Save your scorched earth editing for trivial pages and meaningless subjects." - Is this just random abuse? Personally I try to treat all pages with the same respect be they subjects I love or subjects I personally believe to be no interest. I believe the integrity of the project comes first. This type of edit is rare compared to most of what I do reverting real vandalism, reverting accidental image breaking, and valid image removal.
  • "vandals such as yourself who flagrantly violate Wikipedia codes of conduct" - name one? I can state WP:REDNOT for my edit which includes "Do not create red links to files"
  • "Marking a photo for deletion that should not have been deleted proves you are a vandal"
  • Firstly wrong again, I did not mark the files for deletion, in over 75,000 edits across the Wikipedia projects I believe I've marked less than 2-dozen for deletion, most for fragrant copyright violations.
  • Secondly, just marking a file is not vandalism and if it was flagrant bad faith flagging the user would be cautioned by the admins and the file not deleted (as these were)
  • Thirdly you have a message on your own talk page from Kelly informing you File:FrankStanford St. Benedict sCemetery.jpg was marked for deletion and why - not the action of a vandal. As I cannot see the original page I can only guess that this may have just been a technicality with the licence information you gave. English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons take copyright very seriously.
  • The other file, that as you had no notification I assume you did not upload, was File:Emery Memorial Home.jpg and was deleted as "No evidence of permission for more than 7 days" and as per your file was deleted by the admin Explicit
  • However after saying all this I will assume good faith and this post was just out of frustration, maybe just have a bad day. So as I really do think the good, relevant images are important to articles I encourage you, as you say you are the copyright holder, to either upload again with as much detail as you have for the licence, or possibly contact Explicit as the deleting admin, or you could ask at the OTRS noticeboard. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 21:43, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

@Ozarkhighlands: I have gone ahead and restored the image which you uploaded. Please understand that it was tagged for deletion as a possibly unfree file because an author's name was cited, but it did not specifically indicate that you were the same person. In cases like this, it is assumed that someone other than the uploader is the author, but lacks evidence that said file was released under the specified license. I understand your frustration, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. It is simply a safeguard to delete image that may possible infringe on someone's rights. — ξxplicit 06:37, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Taylor Lianne Chandler

Suggesting additional information regarding this entry. Since she had gender reassignment surgery, should pronouns "his, he and him" be used in discussing Taylor? This separation of pronoun within the timeline is important in the identification of this person, especially as a proclaimed advocate of the transgender community.

Also, is the term "legendary" in describing the horse jockey subjective?

Lastly, according to her, her "alleged" boyfriend was dating her for less than two weeks although he has never confirmed their relationship (reference available).

Your feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

Juliealyssa Juliealyssa (talk) 16:19, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Juliealyssa and welcome to Wikipedia - it's not really a subject I am familiar with my edit being the last on Taylor Lianne Chandler was just maintenance. I'm not aware of any policy on this type of thing - I can only suggest asking at the Wikipedia:Teahouse were lots of experienced editors hang out. Hopefully someone knows of a policy and or wiki project for this type of question.
I think the term "legend" is a bit Wikipuffery for me, but the linked source does use the word
Lastly I'm not sure what your asking on the alleged boyfriend issue? Normally I would say such items should not be included - however it appears to be one reason she "gained attention" thus is substantive to her Notability rather than just rumour or gossip.
As I said I'm not familiar with the subject so recommend either the Wikipedia:Teahouse, or start a discussion on the articles talk page or if you think these are concerns that violate the Biographies of living persons policy than you could post to the BLP/Noticeboard.

new to wiki

hi kylie I'm new to wiki and for a university project i need to create a page on an artist a colour or typography that does already have one, i made my account a couple of days ago but wiki said i may need to edit a few pages before i create my own, where do i start? thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamielewist (talk • contribs) 10:30, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Jamielewist sorry for the delay but been at work with no time to answer. If you want to create a new page then it's recommend to create either in your own user area, own sandbox, or the draft area. This is especially important for new users as otherwise you can end up with the page being deleted for violation of one of the many policies. i.e just as you did for for AfC submission User:Jamielewist/sandbox/Jamie_Lewis which was declined as it was a statement more for your user page User:Jamielewist than it was an article. On to your question where to start?
  • First I would say do The Wikipedia Adventure - which you've done so checkY
  • Look around for small changes you can make to existing articles. I would normally suggest subjects your interested in, or the 'Random Article' on the left hand menu. However as you want to "create a page on an artist a colour or typography" I would suggest looking at those that already exist. Maybe find one that has a good structure to base a new one on.
  • I would think there are more missing articles on artists than colours or typography, however note that if the artist is alive you'll need to be aware of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons
  • I would highly recommend either do as you did for User:Jamielewist/sandbox/Jamie_Lewis or use the Article wizard to start a new article.
  • Lastly if you have any other questions or want advise on editing you can ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse where lots of friendly experienced editors help out, no having to wait for individuals to get off work ;)

How PAW Patrol won the West

Hello and thank you for reverting various film articles after unhelpful updates by dynamic IP 67.44.*. With the date changes, good-faith copyvio from IMDB and fantasy plot rewrites, this kid is keeping a few of us busy! I see Rio Conchos (film) is now protected. Is there anything more we should do to deter this pest?

Here's a probably incomplete list of damage in case it helps. I've not provided diffs, as most changes span several edits and are repeated from a different IP after reversion.

Thanks again, Certes (talk) 13:36, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Certes I had hoped that little pest had got the idea after they had been blocked several times and then I got Rio Conchos (film) blocked. Didn't notice them back as maybe they hadn't made the same mistakes as before that made me notice them. I've been fighting an even more pernicious vandal using large chunks of 2.24.* and 2.27.* vandalising transport articles - even had a block on a few thousand IP's for a while due their persistence. With more of these cases and the trouble IPv6 users can cause I'm starting to think they are going to have to block anon editing eventually. I'll keep an eye out and run a scan on 67.44.* as well as the other ranges now and then. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:35, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Nicosia district

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lefko%C5%9Fa_District&action=edit

I don't get how me editing all "Lefkosa" words is nonconstructive. Why is it in Turkish and not in English? It's Cypriot land not turkish, it should be in English or Greek. It's an offense and if I could of edited the title as well to Nicosia I would of done so.

Λευκωσία/Nicosia/Lefkosia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.228.62.32 (talk) 07:03, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi 62.228.62.32 the reason why it looked non-constructive was no reason (edit summary) was given for the change. So without knowing the context to others it looked the same as say you changing "Lefkoşa" to "HELLO". We unfortunately get a lot of random vandalising like that. As the page did not even mention Nicosia as another name the reason was not obvious, however as it's clear you were not being un-constructive I will remove the invalid warning. However as for the name change, you'll need to provide a source for what you say. The given source for the Census 2006 lists "Lefkoşa District". Up till you posted this I didn't even know there was a self-declared state of Northern Cyprus - but just as we have the article on Northern Cyprus we also have the main Cyprus article. Similarly we have Nicosia which covers the governance, as well as Lefkoşa District. Just as you see it as "an offense" I guess the people on the other side of the dispute see it the other way. As such Lefkoşa District is a valid encyclopedic entry, however it does appear odd that Lefkoşa District does not make the disputed status clear.

Hi Kylie

Ah I see! Sorry about this.. can I just ask you if think these links are reliable sources for my page and meet notability standards? I'm not sure what other sources I can use other than online links?

http://www.vogue.co.uk/miss-vogue/whats-up/2015/04/steven-young http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevenyoung http://soundofbrit.fr/review-steven-young-moveable-feast/ http://www.discogs.com/UNKLE-Where-Did-The-Night-Fall/release/2832340

Many thanks for your time Ruthie

  • Hi Ruthie I'm no expert on this I just try to help out at AFC and accept/decline the obvious (such as no references). Vogue I would believe would be considered a good source, however it does not really say that much about them. Also I followed the link to the facebook account and 385 likes does not help (not that popularity = notability). The cdbaby.com link is a reference for the information it contains, but is does not really help for notability as these days its easy for anyone to make albums, write books etc and get listed on such sites (but all valid references are still good to add to the article). As for soundofbrit.fr my french is not great, but English Wikipedia does not require sources to be in English - however it looks like a good source with a lot of information. Lastly although discogs.com goes to show his link with UNKLE, it does only list him as bass on one track so rather than "... part of the band UNKLE..." he just looks like a session musician from that link.
  • So firstly I definitely think you should add the first three references, and use Help:Referencing for beginners to add them as inline references. Look around for more online references would help, but you can also reference print media if any news papers or magazines have written articles about him (see References not online section). You could also ask for more help/advise than I can give by asking at the Wikipedia:Teahouse where lots of experienced editors answer questions and sometimes help more directly. You can then decide to either decide to submit again and get more feedback, or if you think you havn't managed to meet Wikipedia:Notability (music) then maybe just a bit of time is all that is needed. A good new artist will soon enough get articles written and/or reached one of the other conditions. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 20:51, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

16:42:07, 7 December 2015 review of submission by BeaufortPatrick


HI Kyletastic - thanks very much for your response. Could you please elaborate on which information needs supporting sources/verification? The biographical details are fairly straightforward - how much detail is required? Or is it a question of providing links to the publishers? I looked at Julian Maclaren-Ross' entry, which is similar, and could not see much in the way of citations. Any guidance you could offer would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  • Hi BeaufortPatrick I had assumed the intent was all information was included in the Obituaries section but it is far from clear. I guess maybe not all of the obituaries are not online, but I'm assuming you had copies to work from otherwise. Thus a big improvement would be to improve the obituaries listed as references. Firstly for those that do not know the publications the refs would be difficult to follow, if you use the ref toolbar or Template:Cite news (or cite web) directly you could add the url and page numbers and any other helpful details. Secondly if you <ref name="">... </ref> tags with names you can add inline links to show which items come from which sources (see Help:Referencing_for_beginners#Same_reference_used_more_than_once and Wikipedia:Inline citation). Obviously its easier for people to verify online links when they exist and that would help get the article accepted more easily, however its certainly not mandatory. I've not got the time to be more helpful at the moment but I have added an example ref to The Scotsman link to give you an idea of a ref and using it in more than one place (you may wish to add <ref name=scotsman.com" /> to other points).

  • Hi 98.25.9.242 and Schemel - Yes there is a way to try to stop repeated vandalism by IP users by submitting a request to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. However as semi protecting the article would block all anonymous edits its usually only added for a short time. However in this case I'm not sure its vandalism per se rather than a a difference of opinion as both versions are unsourced. As such it would be best to find more sources as then edits removing sourced material would be reverted by more editors as non-constructive/vandalism. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 10:46, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

The information being removed and changed had 2 citations.Schemel (talk) 14:01, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

I have edited the info back to how it was before it was messed with. The info that is being removed is cited info that can be easily verified. I would like to request the protection you mentioned above for 30 days or so, in order to protect the page in hopes that the malicious editing will stop.Schemel (talk) 15:36, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

The vandal has repeatedly attacked the page and its talk page since protection was temporarily imposed. Is there anything else I should be doing?Schemel (talk) 22:03, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Schemel, I see they have chosen to not block ip editors but put the article requiring review - as such yes the ip editor may continue but it will be listed at Special:PendingChanges until someone with the relevant permissions accepts or reverts. So their edits are now being effectively watched by a lot of people so if they persist they will end up blocked. Unfortunately this sort of thing is the price we pay for the Anyone can edit) policy. As least they are not ip swapping every few edits like two other persistent vandals I'm tracking. So my advise is keep an eye on them; report any other targeted articles to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection if needed, but most of all don't let them wind you up. I know that can be difficult, but it's best to walk away from a problem user and continue to be a constructive editor another day than to let the tiny minority of problem editors wind you up and possibly drive you away. The article is being watched, so go have a great weekend. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 22:25, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

hi I'm not sure if you got it correct as I did not make any changes to any webpage before nor I have a Wikipedia account. Regarding the Korea contributions, I did not search on it before. please check before sending next time. Thank You for being a contributer to Wikipedia.

Draft Data Excellence rejected.

Hello KylieTastic ! My article was rejected but I do not understand why?

This is the two cases what I understood: 1.This is the style of writing because you say: it is not an item worthy of an encyclopedia 2. Do I have edit my article in the wrong area ? Do I have write it in the sandbox ? If this case, i will remove my draft in the sandbox ?

So, can you clear up please your reject and explain the procedure to follow to be accepted ? Have a nice dayYanniyolo (talk) 05:00, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Yanniyolo the Articles for creation procedure is for submitting encyclopaedic articles, where the text you submitted was just a statement of who you are, etc. This would normally go on your user page User:Yanniyolo, and within a few restrictions you can put what you want on your User pages and they do not have to be submitted or accepted. This goes for all of your pages including your sandbox, which can be used to make test edits, or write new articles - so you are welcome to write there, its your area. Personal sandbox pages usually have the template {{User sandbox}} at the top that gives you the button to easily submit articles if that's what they contain.
  • So if this was meant as just a page to introduce yourself and what you would like to do on Wikipedia then you can just move/copy to User:Yanniyolo (just like I have mine User:KylieTastic)
  • However for an article to be accepted for the mainspace see the following articles:
The Golden rule and The Five pillars
What is an article? and What Wikipedia is not
Wikipedia:Your first article
All the best, and happy editing KylieTastic (talk) 11:50, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
EDIT: Sorry I got confused I thought you were talking about the article User:Yanniyolo/sandbox that I declined you mean Draft:Data Excellence which has not been declined, but it was moved from User:Yanniyolo/sandbox/Data Excellence by another editor. This article has not yet been reviewed and it looks well formatted and has a number of references, so someone willl get arround to reading, checking and reviewing soon enough. Note we currently have 325 article in the queue so how long it takes will depend on how many people are reviewing - Its a busy time of year for many.

Thank You Kylie

Hi Kylie, I thank you so much for helping me correct my first wiki page, i added references to article due to no cite indexing on page can you please re-check any advice i sure appreciate it thanks Kylietastic Toniaesposito76 (talk) 00:06, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Toniaesposito76 happy to have helped. Sorry I'm currently a bit busy with work for the next few days so not really got the time to look at it the moment. It's a long article with a lot of references, and although that makes it a longer job to review it's a good thing to have a well referenced submission. A quick look makes it look like it should pass notability which is also an important thing. The only problem I noticed is the in-line external links; generally external links are only allowed in the reference, external links sections at the bottom (or in the infobox) not in-line in the article text. The reason is people (readers) don't expect to go to another site from links in the text. All in-line links should be Wikilinks and external links as references. Apart from that it's looking good. I would suggest you tidy these up first, but then you can either submit for review (lots more editors review with much more experience than me), or ask for more advise at the Wikipedia Teahouse where lots of experienced editors and admins hang out. On that last point I am not an admin here - so thanks for the barnstar but I had to remove so as not to make others think I was. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 15:42, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Hairstyles

I was wondering if you are a hairstylist... I am a hairstylist and there are quite a few errors in those descriptions.... JessBant (talk) 19:10, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi JessBant I see your talking about List of hairstyles - no I'm not a hairstylist, my edit was purely maintenance (reverting an invalid attempt to use an external image). Be careful when doing such large changes, especially until you understand the wiki-markup. For instance you changed a valid link to Afro-textured hair to an invalid link natural ethnic. Also note that such things could be a mater of opinion, or local usage (English Wikipedia is for all English speaking countries). Another error you introduced was changing [[Temple Fade (hairstyle)|Blowout]] to [[ (hairstyle)|Blowout]] - the double square brackets are Wikilinks (links to other articles), if it contains a pipe | then the first part if the article (the one you changed from Temple Fade (hairstyle) to invlid (hairstyle) the second part is what is displayed. So it still shows Blowout, but the link is now broken (it was Blowout). Regards KylieTastic (talk) 19:39, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi there Kylie. I just wanted to mention that I removed the speedy deletion template, not the creator of the article. I do believe the subject is notable, at least in her profession of stripping, and that the article can be rescued. Coretheapple (talk) 21:55, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Coretheapple yup I had noticed. I replaced the tag only because they ignored it's contents as the article creator and removed rather than contest. I then made a couple more edits and was just looking to see myself if the speedy was still valid as they had added content when you got there before me. The notice on the talk page was for their removal (before even adding any refs) not yours. All the best KylieTastic (talk)
Oh I see. Well, he/she shouldn't have removed it! I will amend my remarks. Thanks, Coretheapple (talk) 22:36, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Jules-Ladoumègue (Vitrolles) Stadium article image

Hi there,

I understand why you removed the image path from the infobox in the

Jules-Ladoumègue (Vitrolles) Stadium article, (and one other small article I had done). However, this image does exist on the frwiki article if you look at that. Where does this image ly?

Endo999 (talk) 20:25, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Endo999 it looks like the image was upldoaed to the French Wikipedia. Images can only be used on each language Wikipedia in on there own language or uploaded to commons. My French is not that good, but I believe the red tag on that image says that it its not suitable for transferring to commons. I would guess because of the French laws on pictures of buildings. I don't know if it would be allowable to upload on English Wikipedia, if you wanted to upload to English Wikipedia I would ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions for help.

coat of arms of Venezuela deletion

can you go here and tell Ezarate how much of an idiot he is? Same applies to user The Photographer. Incendiary Iconoclasm 21:48, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Antirom

I'm not blind, I just hadn't realised the image had been deleated....I've corrected the link so it's visible. must say I'm confused as why so much effort has been made to get rid of it as the image is only there to illustrate the article and is of no monetary value but is of historical interest being the only image of the full lineup of the original team, you'd have thought wiki moderators would have bigger fish to fry.

  • Hi Synthiaks yup sorry about that edit comment just let frustration with the real problem users spill over, which is totally unacceptable, so again sorry. I'm not sure why the original was deleted as only admins can see info on files after they are deleted and the reason "Violates non-free use policy" can be very open to opinion. I'm had enough troubles on the other side of that argument with my files being deleted. As for "so much effort" its not really - its just the combination of individuals doing different bits of work. The first would be someone who reviews uploads, the second an admin going though flagged files, then a bot kicked in and removed the dead link, and on my part I review Category:Articles with missing files to try to spot various issues from vandalism; editors correcting text in file names and breaking them; attempts to hot-link images etc. So I just noticed yours in passing the hundreds I review each week. As for "bigger fish to fry", copyright is a very important issue as if Wikipedia did not take it very serious they could have serious legal issues compromising the project. Yours would have been just one in probably several hundred removed each week. Hopefully they will let your new image stand, I had a quick look and you've done a good job with the info added, but as I said it comes done to a matter of opinion. All the best KylieTastic (talk) 15:03, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi KylieTastic no worries and thanks for your comments, I appreciate copyright is a large and complex issue (i work in film so have to deal with clearance issues on a daily basis which can be mind numbingly frustrating) but as its for illustative/historical purposes just seems weird to have it taken down as no one is profiting from it....anyhow, I've also emailed Jeremy the photographer as well just to see if he has any opinion on it's use & made him aware of my uploading it to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Synthiaks (talk • contribs) 15:29, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

    You took a portrait of Antirom many years ago which I've uploaded it to wikipedia to illustrate their article on the company, do you have any issues with that as I'm not sure of copyright would be yours or Antirom who commissioned it....obviously its only a low res version for illustrative purposes only.

  • Hi Synthiaks, often the copyright holders do not mind an image being used but the problem is, apart from the fair use of Non-free content, if an image is used outside of this then Wikipedia needs to be granted full permission rather than just permission to use. The reason is people expect to be able to take anything from Wikipedia and use copyright free. So you have two options use as you are as Non-free content, or if they want to get the copyright holder to release permission via OTRS see: Wikipedia:OTRS noticeboard.
  • please note this is just my understanding - I'm no expect on the whole copyright issues, if in doubt ask at The [Wikipedia:Teahouse for more help.

18:18:11, 22 December 2015 review of submission by Gsukin

I have added citations which was the request of an editor on the page. I'm wondering how the page will be reviewed moving ahead and how I will know when it is published. Thank you.

  • Hi Gsukin good to see your working on it - I see your problem the 'Resubmit' button hasn't appeared as you appear to have turned the template into static text. I've fixed that so you can re-submit when when happy. I haven't looked at the details as its been a rough day dealing with abusive vandals and I've had enough, however I wanted to just be polite and point you in the correct direction. If you want more input before submitting I suggest the Wikipedia:Teahouse where lots of experienced editors and admins try to help. Also to answer the other part of your question once you re-submit you should be notified on your talk page of either an acceptance/publish or it the reviewer thinks other issues need addressing. Note if your account has an email address you can control if you get email notifications here (same as the Preferences tab at the top-right). I've also left some helpful links on your talk page.

Hey KylieTastic! Thanks for all the great work at the Teahouse! I'm pretty heavily involved with copyright issues so though I hate playing the schoolmarm I felt compelled to drop a note when I saw "All images on commons must be copyright free" at a recent post. Images licensed under a free copyright license. e.g., CC-BY-SA 3.0, are copyrighted and the copyright requires compliance by anyone seeking to use it to comply with that copyright. If I upload an image I own under such a free license, I still own the image, have not given up my copyright at all, and could even sue someone for misuse. The free license just makes the re-use (irrevocably) very non-restrictive. It would be correct to say "all images at the Commons must bear a suitably free copyright license or be copyright free".

User Pages

It is clear that many new editors don't understand what a user page is, because there are a lot of sandbox drafts that are submitted to AFC that would be suitable for user pages but are not encyclopedic. At least that author, unlike the other one for whom I asked for help at the Teahouse, didn't berate me. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:30, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi Robert| yes a lot could be done to help instruct new editors of the basics and stop the same old issues popping up... and yes reviewing the AFC submissions is a double edged sword as by helping out you do open yourself up to the kickbacks from the declines. I just keep reminding myself its all for the common good (say three times and click your heals). Cheers, and Happy New Year KylieTastic (talk) 18:35, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
