We noticed though that when you edited International Uranium Film Festival, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert Richter (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

License tagging for File:International Uranium Film Festival.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:International Uranium Film Festival.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 08:05, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

!!!! Wow, I rarely see any new Wikipedia be so prepared to create an article so thoroughly! You went from asking about the referencing system to citing all kinds of sources, and you put links everywhere in the article, and you made a really long article! I think this article is the most developed of any that I saw coming out of the event! About those pictures... there is a coordinator making a record of everything done during the event, and this person has asked me to confirm the copyright status of the pictures uploaded. Is it correct that you either took these photographs, or that otherwise you are certain you are the copyright holder? Thanks for coming, and thanks for developing an art article there which gives background on so many other people who have Wikipedia articles. Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:14, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Mmmmm, coffee! I am totally having a blast working on Wikipedia, Simply loving it!

I grew up across the street from a library, and it saved my life. Single parent home, wrong side of the tracks, the library was my baby sitter and sanctuary. I love cross-referencing concepts and sharing information.

I am confused, tho, if I should be posting this response on my own talk page or yours. Is this the right place? Hope you get this response.

There is so much I do not know about how Wikipedia works, so I'm working with the simple tools I do know how to use. The class you suggested, WIKILOO, - enrolled and looking forward to it.

Regarding the questionable photos on the International Uranium Film Festival page....I've asked Norbert Suchanek for permission to upload it as Creative Commons. If I don't hear back from him by the 14th, I know it will be taken down. If it's better that I take it down now, no problem. The image of the Black Hole I grabbed from Wikipedia Commons or Creative Commons, and I think it is ok to use (?). But if it's better to ask first, just let me know. Learning curve.

The other image another editor put up - it's of a video still of my work. What a surprise! If that's a conflict of interest, let me know.

It's been fun "meeting" some of the editors, they have been helpful, esp. with cultivating a "neutral tone of voice".

This has been the most challenging...finding that neutral tone. It made me think a lot about communication in general.

Thank you for all of your help and support, Bluerasberry. The Eyebeam workshop was incredibly energizing and empowering. Netherzone (talk) 03:32, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

WIKISOO & Blackboard

Hi Netherzone, thanks for the note,and for signing up for the Writing Wikipedia Articles course! @Sara, @Bob and I are looking forward to meeting our new group of students and getting started.

Sorry for the confusion around Blackboard Collaborate. We should have a general email going out shortly that will address this, but we're still tweaking it. You don't have to do any special sign-up for Blackboard; we have a version of it we're using that you can just click to join. There will be better instructions coming shortly, but if you'd like to try it out in the meantime, just try this link. You will need to have an up to date version of Java installed for it to work.

Hope this helps, and see you in class next week! -Pete (talk) 15:26, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to WIKISOO

Hello and welcome to the Writing Wikipedia Articles course (#WIKISOO)! We look forward to meeting you in the first class on 25 February (Americas)/26 Feb (Asia/Australia). By now you should have received an introductory email with some details about the course. If you can't find it, there's an archived copy of the email at this link.

To attend the live session, please check our course home page for instructions and the link. We recommend logging into Blackboard Collaborate (the live class software we use) before the day of class, to be sure it's working. (More tips on the home page.)

If taking the course in self-paced mode, please come say hello on the course talk page so we know who you are! Thanks for signing up, and we'll see you Tuesday! - Pete (talk) 06:09, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Jenny Holzer 1986.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Jenny Holzer 1986.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 01:45, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello, sorry for not replying to your previous email. I have not made time to completely check all your pictures, although the ones I did check seemed to be in order.

In this case the request is that the person who owns the copyright sends an email to the address. This email will be held semi-privately (certain trusted Wikipedians can read it, but not the general public). Ideally the email would be a copy/paste of this declaration. Also, good call in attending Pete's class. He is the best trainer there is. Sorry for not being around - I am here I just get distracted. Blue Rasberry (talk) 03:12, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Open education homework

Hi WIKISOO peeps,

There is a potential article I've been working on about the Ecological Art educator and curator, Linda Weintraub. She has made some of her books and study guides free and open on the web. Your feedback on how this article is coming along is welcome. Here' a link to my sandbox on this project:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Netherzone/sandbox

Not really sure if this is relevant to the OER homework, but thought I'd post anyways. Netherzone (talk) 23:02, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

WIKISOO Week 3

Hi Netherzone, we look forward to seeing you in class in a few hours. We look forward to seeing you in class in a few hours. Here's the link to our Week 3 class page and to the live webinar.

PLEASE NOTE: If you're not in the USA, please double-check the class time. We have gone on Daylight Savings Time (also known as Summer Time) in the USA, so for some of you the class time will be an hour earlier. (If your country goes on Summer Time in the coming weeks, you will want to check again!)

This week we are going to start off with some basic review of all we've covered. So if you've been feeling behind or confused by all the details, we'll make sure we've got your questions answered before forging ahead! See you soon, -Pete (talk) 16:25, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Last week in class I was supposed to look at your draft and offer some feedback, but I got sidetracked by other questions. My apologies! I hope you are in class today, I will make sure yours is the first we get to. Also, if you'd like to go through the issues impacting your image uploads, I think it's a good time to address that for the whole class. Hope to see you! -Pete (talk) 23:43, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

OER inquiry

Hi Netherzone, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB (talk) 20:45, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback and help, I'm a new editor, and learning as I go. I knew the AEC was an anachronistic term, but in context made sense to me. However I see that it linking to a disambiguation page rather that the current agency name is confusing. Will remove link brackets and figure out a better plan.

undid contribution to environmental art

You undid a contribution i made to environmental art, with this comment "Undid revision 629496008 by Socialresearch (talk) It is ambiguous if this is the work of Beverly Naidus. Notability of artist cited questionable" I'm not sure I understand this reason. The paragraph I had edited was this "Ecological awareness and transformation". It describes contributions by many artists. I had started my contribution by naming Marina DeBris. I am not clear on how this is ambiguous to whom I am refering. Could you please explain further and let me know how to make this less ambiguous? Also, if you look at Marina DeBris' wikipedia page, you can see 43 citations, to a very wide range of sources. She has many more citations, to more varied sources, than many artists included in Wikipedia. It seems to me that if her notability is questionable, then the notability of many other artists in wikipedia is much more questionable. Right? Actually, many of the citations for many of the other artists are ones I found and contributed to wikipedia. Many of them had no or one citation, so I searched and added more. Please let me know how would I make Marina DeBris less questionable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Socialresearch (talk • contribs) 02:28, 16 October 2014 (UTC) Sorry, I forgot to sign Socialresearch (talk) 02:56, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

It followed a sentence about Beverly Naidus' book, and sounded like DeBris was the author, an editor or contributor - therefore the edit was undone. (Also changed the sentence before it to repeat Naidus' name.) Notability questions due to talk page histories, vague historical significance. The section "Ecological awareness and transformation" covers artists who engage in the transformation of an environment and the complex ecological systems that occupy it, usually by remediation/reclaimation efforts often in collaboration with scientists, urban planners or research team. This approach differs considerably from artists who make trash art out of found or recycled materials. Netherzone (talk) 13:42, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Soliciting Feedback for Art+Feminism grants

Hello Netherzone. Thanks for giving the thumbs up to our post on the A+F talk page. As you saw, we have written two linked PEG and IEG grants.

Additionally, we have confirmed International Women's Day, March 8th 2015 as the date of the international editathon.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cimarron Fuel Fabrication Site, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Atomic Energy Commission. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I need any kind of suggestion or advice to improve it. Support or endorsement would be fantastic. Many thanks, --Kenzia (talk) 19:16, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Netherzone! I think looking into this list of sources under "Bibliography" is useful for the article. I was able to dig up some of the Washington Post articles, but the ones that I think will really help are the "Art in America" (December 1980) issue and the "Art News" March 1981. They seem focused on just her. :) Here is the link. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 20:44, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Nuclear Whistleblowers Question

Hi, I read your feedback on the talk page of my article Nuclear Whistleblowers and I was curious if you thought that I should take down the section on the Fernald incidents? Thank you for your feedback!-AshleyFortierUML (talk) 16:58, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

AshleyFortierUML Hi Ashley, I think what you are doing is great! And I'm glad that you included Fernald, however it is not a nuclear power plant - it was a weapons material "feed" plant - meaning they processed materials for nuclear weapons. If you want the article to be about nuclear energy-power then Fernald would not apply. To my way of thinking, since the page is named Nuclear whistleblowers, it makes sense to include both nuclear energy/power as well as nuclear weapons. If your intention is to focus on nuclear power whistleblowers, then you may want to rename the page Nuclear Power (or Energy) Whistleblowers. Conceptually and historically, energy and weapons are linked, but since you are spearheading this article, I wouldn't want to tell you which approach makes more sense for the encyclopedia. Netherzone (talk) 20:40, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! I will be adding both power and energy to the page because I believe that nuclear whistleblowing is nuclear whistleblowing no matter it be on energy or power. I have changed the section that claims Fernal was a nuclear energy site to the weapons feed-material plant. Thank you very much for your heads up I appreciate it!--AshleyFortierUML (talk) 22:36, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Saturday October 22, 10am: WikiArte Latin American Edit-a-thon @ MoMA

Join us for a full Saturday of social Wikipedia editing at the Museum of Modern Art (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Latin American artists. The WikiArte (Wiki Arte y Cultura Latinoamerica) edit-a-thon is a global campaign to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Latin American arts and culture and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia. Featuring an opening Artists' Panel at 10am, with Sol Aramendi, Sharon Lee De La Cruz, and Marisa Morán Jahn, to be moderated by Rocío Aranda-Alvarado, curator at El Museo del Barrio. The Museum of Modern Art and Fundacion Cisneros/Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros are uniting with international allies to focus on the lives and works of Latin American artists, architects and designers. With keystone events scheduled for October 22 in New York City and other cities throughout the month (Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Caracas, & others), the campaign aims to further similar goals to Art+Feminism. All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. Introductory training on the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given throughout the edit-a-thon. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand. Saturday October 22 WikiArte Latin American Edit-a-thon @ MoMA (meetup) (eventbrite) 10:00am - 6:00pm at The Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building at MoMA, 4 West 54th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenue) Please note that this entrance is one block north of the main 53rd Street entrance, closer to 5th Avenue Newcomers are very welcome!

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 11:22, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Fernald Feed Materials Production Center copyright problem

Some of the material you included in the above article was copied from http://enquirer.com/fernald/stories/021196c_fernald.html, a copyright web page. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you think I made a mistake. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:23, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa thank you for your message. No harm intended. That was the original source of the timeline, however the text was changed - tho not up to encyclopedia standards. Did I inadvertently not cite the source? Still, I find the time-line (as a compressed history of events) useful to readers, and may consider working with the content in a sandbox to bring it to acceptable standards, if there is no objection. Netherzone (talk) 15:33, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

We can't host it in a sandbox, because it's way too close to the source material. We can't host copyright material anywhere on this wiki, including sandboxes and talk pages. I suggest you work on it offline in a text editor. I can send a copy to you by email if you like, or you could work from the source webpage. I can check your new version for you via email if you like before it goes live. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:38, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback Diannaa I understand. I'll work offline. (I can retrieve it, so no need to email me.) It did occur to me that the raw chronological information (and additional info from EPA & DOE that I have already compiled) may work well in a table format. I'll put that on my to-do list as I eventually would like to learn how to make a table on Wikipedia. In the meantime, be assured that it will not be made live until I run it by you and/or other editors. My intention here is to help clean up an article with a multiple issues.

Statue by Louise Lawson

I saw on the WiR Talk page that you are able to photograph historical statues in NYC. I just created a page for 19th century sculptor Louise Lawson, whose best-known work is a memorial statue of Congressman Samuel S. Cox that stands in Tompkins Square Park. Since Lawson has been dead for over a hundred years and the statue in public for longer than that, there are no copyright issues. It would be great to get a pic of it for her page (and no reason it couldn't go on Cox's page as well). Maybe you would be willing to add it to your list? Cheers Alafarge (talk) 20:08, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Alafarge - yes, when the weather clears up and the semester is off to a start, will be photographing around NYC. I will check Louise Lawson's page, and put the statue on my to-do list. Nice seeing" you here. -Yves Netherzone (talk) 20:51, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Performance art

For your suggested and direct additions to the template I award you, in imagination and inner-performance, one of those standing ovation gifs given by stars of yesteryear, today, and lights yet to come, each dressed in the memes and costumes of their era, with lasers and wordworks illuminating the sky above and sky below. Nice work. Randy Kryn 18:14, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

And I commend you Randy Kryn and SlimVirgin any others who created the template, and hereby bestow a Supernova! I added a few items to the works section and one more artist. I've realized how few significant performance pieces by important performance artists have their own articles. Something to put on my to do list. Netherzone (talk) 18:23, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Cool. I like that the first name in artists, alphabetically, is still the first name after the additions. Kind of like Hank Aaron in baseball. It's nice you know about the field, and the pages which are still needed. Randy Kryn 18:42, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Randy Kryn do you think that Survival Research Laboratories should be included in Groups, rather than in the Other section? That makes more sense to me, but would like to hear your thoughts. Also, what about people who are scholars of Performance art, like Joanna Frueh and Roselee Goldberg and Linda Weintraub? Do you think it's relevant to add them to a template? I have never worked on a template before. Netherzone (talk) 18:53, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Nice list. Your last comment and questions maybe should be copied over to the template page, and I'll comment there. Gets the community involved. I know I'm going to learn a lot looking at the pages you've added and your proposed additions, thanks. I've found templates enjoyable and productive to work on, even if only for an edit or two. Have stopped making full templates lately, but have a couple in mind I've wanted to do, and should make that happen. It takes a burst of attention and energy, and requires, I've found, making a mental map of a subject and presenting it in such a way that it's coherent to the reader. A fun area of Wikipedia that has lots of room to roam in, as you've seen by the Performance Arts template which you've enhanced and kicked up to a new level. When the map is done right, the thing really has an educational potential, and I can easily see Wikipedia's templates collection (most editors call them navboxes) becoming more known and respected at some point before Wikipedia wins the Nobel Peace Prize. Enjoy the "new world" of templates, it has its own adherents and a few major differing opinions which bubble over into Wikipedia points-of-view clashing discussions (a site wide phenomena).

A WiR barnstar for creativity

	Women in Red barnstar
	Thank you, Netherzone, for creating this really attractive barnstar for Women in Red and for all your interesting biographies on women in art.--Ipigott (talk) 09:47, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

My pleasure - it has been a wonderful experience, and I will continue to help out with WiR projects. Netherzone (talk) 14:52, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Hear, hear! Totally agree. Love the barnstar! even more love the articles. By the by, I have done a lot of prep work on a group of WPA muralist women on a project I work on as I can with Buster7. If you are interested, you can see the women here. Any and all of them with enough sources can be worked up. Because there were so few sources when we started, I began by looking for those first. If your commitments/preferences are elsewhere, no worries. SusunW (talk) 17:40, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

SusunW Thanks Sunsun! I will have a look at the muralists - it's interesting because I just came across a woman mosaic muralist yesterday, and I should have written down her name. My immediate goal is to complete all the red-linked women on the Women's Caucus for the Arts Lifetime Achievement Awards (only about 6 or so to go!) and then move on to another arena representing women. Muralists are a great idea! Will see you and Buster7 there shortly. Netherzone (talk) 17:49, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

SusunW is such a wonderful teacher and provided so much wonderful information to work with but I must admit I am a poor student and have not been much of an editor lately. It would be wonderful to rekindle the muralist project. Buster Seven Talk 01:40, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for working on Dinah Watts Pace. I had been working on a draft for a couple of days. She lived in my old neighborhood in Atlanta and I was fascinated with her story, as a bunch of the places mentioned in that article from Kim were really familiar to me. I merged my stuff into the article and then didn't have time to thank you, as I had an international call with one of my Mexican students who is in England working on his master's degree. I have been perusing some of your files and think you should apply for being Autopatrolled. Basically, it just stops your new articles from appearing in the New Pages Feed and being reviewed by bots and people who may not have a level of expertise with your subject content. The requirement is that you have created 25 articles and you have 38, which a review of clearly shows you understand the protocols of article creation on WP. I didn't nominate you, because I don't want to make assumptions that you want the right. Happy editing :) SusunW (talk) 18:28, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi SusunW great to hear from you. I saw the redlink on the Dinah Watts Pace's photo on the WiR site, and decided to go for it. I just looked at the article and see all the great material you merged with it! Thank you for your suggestion - I will request permission for Autopatrolled status. If you think a nomination or endorsement would help in the decision making process that would be great - but only if you have the time. Netherzone (talk) 18:53, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

I'll keep my eye on it and if it gets stalled, I'll jump in, but I honestly think you'll have no issues whatsoever. It's one of the few ways we can help other women on the site, other than editing together, so I always keep a look out for new editors doing a good job of creating. Far too many articles about women get prodded or AfDed because either the reviewer or a bot determined they weren't really notable. I'm totally in favor of not having garbage be part of the encyclopedia, but I have issues with folks who delete rather than try to improve. ;) SusunW (talk) 19:02, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Not remotely a problem. She isn't going anywhere ;) SusunW (talk) 21:05, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi SusunW I'm back in the saddle again, and can help with the Emma Ann Reynolds photo. I couldn't find it on Commons, tho. If you can send me the link for it I'll retouch and upload the improved version. Netherzone (talk) 00:58, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Welcome back Netherzone. I didn't upload it because I wasn't sure anything could be done with it. I'll do it now. SusunW (talk) 14:15, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Okay here it is [1] SusunW (talk) 14:26, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi SusunW - That was a difficult one - retouched version is up on the same link you sent earlier. [2] Netherzone (talk) 16:52, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Wow! How you do that is beyond me. And yes, I knew from the poor condition that it would be hard. It's why I wasn't even sure it could be done. Thank you, thank you, thank you! SusunW (talk) 18:28, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.

Yeah, so please don't edit other people's comments, even if it's just for a laugh. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 19:55, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Rhododendrites Please forgive me for that - I have a web browser app (peeaisee) that automatically changes his name (for laughs) when I read web pages, but I did NOT realize it would actually change it in the Wikipedia if I made an edit. I can't apologize enough for this. I am so sorry. It was an innocent and embarrassing mistake, which has probably infuriated some people. Netherzone (talk) 20:43, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

There was only one edit in the two hours between your edit and my revert, and nobody commented, so I think it can be filed under "no big deal". I looked at your immediately preceding edits to see if it was a running goof, but didn't see any. If there's a chance there were others, you'll certainly want to look for yourself, as that's certainly something people can/would be touchy about. :) BTW in reverting I also removed your actual comment that I neglected to restore. Given we've now talked about the revert and some time has gone by, I'd presume suggest you restore it yourself, but I can do so if you prefer. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 20:50, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Rhododendrites Thank you for understanding. I seldom edit political pages, and focus on other topics, so I don't think there are other instances of this. I hope that it did not offend anyone, it was certainly not deliberate vandalism. Perhaps it's time for me to uninstall the web browser extension. I do not want to cause any controversy!

Proposed deletion procedure

At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frank Fu you wrote, "The PROD was reverted three times without due cause" This reflects an misunderstanding about PROD. Wikipedia:Proposed deletion is a procedure to be used only for uncontroversial deletions, and a prod notice that has been removed for any reason--or no reason--should never be restored. As the page explains, "PROD must only be used if no opposition to the deletion is expected. It must never be used simultaneously with a deletion discussion (AfD or FfD), and it may only be placed on a page a single time. Any editor (including the article's creator or the file's uploader) may object to the deletion by simply removing the tag; this action permanently cancels the proposed deletion via PROD."

You may be right that the subject is not notable (although I have so far found two substantial articles about him [3][4]), and your nomination of this article for deletion using WP:Articles for deletion was a permitted response to the removed prod notice. But your warning at User talk:Artfair [5] was not a correct statement of Wikipedia procedure, and I request that you retract it. Thanks for your understanding. --Arxiloxos (talk) 03:42, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

The cleanup tag seems self-explanatory except for the NPOV part. It would be helpful if you could either explain that bit on the talk page or use more specific tags (ie, section or inline) for the parts that give you NPOV concern. VQuakr (talk) 01:11, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
