August 2014

Hello, I'm Helpsome. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Helpsome (talk) 18:19, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please don` t edit the the user pages of other editors as you did at user Helpsome. It is considered bad practice. Please use the talk pages of the users you want to talk to. I have copied your comment to his talk page. Thank you JimRenge (talk) 19:07, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. JimRenge (talk) 19:33, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved. Gamaliel (talk) 19:58, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Maura Kelley (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Your reason here Hello, I am a new user, and have edited my comment and I send you my extreme apology and respectfully ask that you unblock my editing. I have read the wiki rules and understand how my edit would have been construed as a "promotion" as suggested by Helpsome. Again, I apologize for addressing him/her in a way that was taken as "threatening". This was not my intention. Thank you for being fair and considerate, Maura Kelley Maura Kelley (talk) 20:04, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

Withdrawal of legal threat. Gamaliel (talk) 15:37, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"This was not my intention." I fail to see how what you posted at User:Helpsome could be intended as anything but a legal threat. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:26, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You asked him for his email so that attorneys could contact him, and that wasn't intended to be threatening? Apologising is one thing, but before anyone will consider unblocking you, you must specifically withdraw any legal threat. Peridon (talk) 20:31, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, I realized IMMEDIATELY that this comment was NOT appropriate and it was IMMEDIATELY - WITHIN 2 MINUTES AFTER POSTING, CORRECTED. There is NO LEGAL threat. I AM SO SORRY; I MADE A HASTY and obviously GRAVE MISTAKE, REALIZED IT, AND IMMEDIATELY CHANGED the comment to read in a POLITE VOICE. Here is the comment: "Helpsome, The information you removed was simply a neutral reporting of expert professional Wildlife Ecologists and Biologists' scientific analysis. The reports are professional and public documents, and the public has a right to know what the scientists in the field of their expertise have to say (I believe). I request that you please check with your supervisors before making such a judgement decision as to delete their information. This is in NO WAY meant to be any kind of PROMOTION. Perhaps they can explain to you directly if needed? Thank you, Maura Kelley" AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE for 2 minutes of Irish-female HOT-HEADEDNESS.

We don't wish you to remain blocked for a simple error in judgement, but as Peridon noted, the rules specifically require a withdrawal of your legal threat, even if your statement was not intended to be a legal threat. Once you do so any administrator will be glad to immediately unblock you and this incident will be forgotten. Gamaliel (talk) 14:50, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I withdraw any threat of legal correspondence (that was posted for the length of about 2 minutes). It was a grave misjudgment, I removed it physically, immediately - displaying my withdrawing of the 'legal threat' statement. It WAS CERTAINLY AN ERROR in judgement that lasted for about 2 minutes. I WITHDRAW, AND WITHDREW IT. Thank you VERY MUCH for your kindness, consideration and UNDERSTANDING. Such a scenario WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, as I explained IN GREAT LENGTH in the "unblock submission form". Thank you again, Maura Kelley

Consider to change the text in the "unblock submission form" - you might just copy/paste the comment obove. JimRenge (talk) 15:33, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. You are now unblocked. Gamaliel (talk) 15:36, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Maura Kelley. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Jason Quinn (talk) 20:44, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nubian wild ass references

Hi. I notice you take an interest in the Nubian wild ass article. That is great. It's an important article that needs attention. I write to let you know that some of the information you've been adding and the way you've been citing your sources is not how it's done at Wikipedia. Although there are occasional exceptions, Wikipedia uses secondary sources, not primary sources for the information in articles. These most often are books, peer-reviewed journals, or reputable newspaper articles. They are not usually letters. Please read the policy Wikipedia:No original research (in particular the subsection about secondary sources)and the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. These links (along with those I posted above with your belated welcome) will help you orientate yourself to the way we work at Wikipedia to produce the highest quality articles. Jason Quinn (talk) 20:45, 15 November 2014 (UTC) Hello Jason, Thank you very much for your correspondence. I am a little frustrated that the owner of the scientific reports as well as images has emailed very specific permissions for the use of this material a number of times as requested by wikipedia administrators. Permission letters have gone out about 4 times (requested each time by a different administrator) and I'm not sure the correct person at wiki-permissions is receiving it. The "letters" are actually scientific reports administered by professionals in their respective fields. Their credentials can be verified and emailed to archive at wiki if needed. There are no peer-reviewed journals in this case. A public record document was also used as a reference. There are no books on this subject matter to cite. Newspaper articles I don't believe are always legitimate as they are often opinionated and we do not want "opinions" but ONLY facts. I'm sure wikipedia wants facts only which are totally unbiased and non-promoting to any individual(s) 'promotional' agenda. I will most certainly re-read wiki structure policies. Respectfully, Maura Kelley (talk) 23:41, 29 November 2014 (UTC)Maura[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Nubian Wild Ass of Bonaire Research Report by Craig C. Downer.pdf

A tag has been placed on File:Nubian Wild Ass of Bonaire Research Report by Craig C. Downer.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. – Train2104 (t • c) 02:54, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
