A kitten for you!

Thank you for all your suggestions for improving the Molokai Advertiser-News Wikipedia page. I am a retiree and did not anticipate that my new hobby of being a Wikipedia editor would be such an involved process. Yet I still enjoy it. I attempted to edit this Hawaiian page with the three principles of fairness, balance, and neutrality in mind. I hope I was successful. Mahalo nui loa, Leilani.

Thanks for the kitten. I'm glad you're enjoying the experience and my actions weren't critical as such just suggestions of things to address and/or bringing the article in line with Wikipedia's manual of style. I still have concerns that the article is more about Peabody than the paper and while the two may be inextricably linked there are ways of giving more information about the paper rather than it's editor-in-chief/main reporter/dogsbody etc. If it's a one man band then so be it i nwhich case there needs to transparency of this.

Dibbles Bridge Coach Crash (1925)

Thank you for your edit. The reason for the "unnecessary" disambiguation was that The Dibbles Bridge coach crash was in 1975 at the same place when 32 people died, rather than ten.

I was aware that there are two articles relating to RTAs at this location and while disambiguation is necessary to tell them apart in the article titles, it isn't needed in this way within the body of the article or if it is the wording could be different. Nthep (talk) 14:33, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm Leaving!

Hi Nthep!,

I am leaving Wikipedia and NEVER coming back! I will NOT write another article on Wikipedia again! If you try to respond to this I will NOT post anything on your talk page! I am sending this to a few other users who have done the same thing as you did to me!

P. S.

Who deleted my main page?'

Judge Alonzo Conant jpg

Dear Sir: Help!!! The photo in question was taken in 1954 by my Mother and when she died, was left to in her will to my sister and me. My sister gave it to me in 1997. I assure you this photo is in my ownership solely. Look, I am 67years old, I assure you that I am not trying to do anything tawdry, illegal or inappropriate. The photo of Daddy is only owned by me. I have sent all of the requested information to Wikipedia as requested. And truthfully, I just want you folks to help me to re-post this wonderful photo of Daddy to the page. It has been on the page for over one year and all who have visited the page has commented on how the photo had reminded them of my dad. The photo is of import and well received by your viewers. I assure you that Wikipedia will never be in any legal debt regarding this photo. Please help me re-post the photo to the page. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Ellen Conant Krohn daughter of Alonzo Conant — Preceding unsigned comment added by Econantkrohn47 (talk • contribs) 18:24, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your continued assistance regarding the re-posting of my deceased photo that is owned solely by me to the Wikipedia page: Alonzo Conant. Given the fact that you are an Administrator for the site and my "in good faith" substantiation of my ownership and copyright of this photo, would you kindly re-post his photo to the page? I assure you, legally, Wikipedia will never be in any legal debt in my father's photo. I have provided everything needed and now I just need to know when you folks will re-post my father's photo to the : Alonzo Conant page. The photo is of importance and supportive to the page. It has been posted for over a year, and those who have viewed the page have appreciated and approved of the photo. Please let me know when this will be replaced. Thank you in advance. In appreciation of your concern and assistance. Sincerely, Ellen Conant Krohn (Econantkrohn47 (talk) 19:03, 16 October 2014 (UTC)) daughter of Alonzo Conant


Dear Nthep, I thank you so very much for restoring the photo of my Dad to the Wikipedia page. Your time, effort and action is appreciated to infinity. Sincerely, Ellen Conant Krohn (Econantkrohn47 (talk) 21:57, 16 October 2014 (UTC)) daughter of Judge Alonzo Conant

Penny Allen @ Ian mcEwan

moved to poster's talk page and replied there

I am grateful to you for explaining how to edit. My problem is this - you are taking your 'facts' from the media on the whole. The media has been silenced by Ian McEwan since at least 1995 - and its silencing does not permit it to say so. I too have been silenced very heavily by Ian McEwan so even if the media wanted to tell my story it would not be allowed to. This leaves Ian McEwan free to put out whatever story he likes through his many friends and relation on the press. I have written numerous letters of complaint to newspapers. No editor has ever corrected any mistakes or even deliberate defamation. I have complained to the PCC who tell me they cannot investigate because I am the 'subject of permanent injunctions'. I have complained about the corrupt judge to the Lord Chancellor who did no investigation. As a result the judge, whose court I refused to recognise, wrote defamation in his judgement which Ian McEwan then paid to have printed in the papers and has used ever since - no paper explaining the reason for Judge Clark's remarks or giving any context. The nearest that any paper has ever got to telling the truth is the Mail on Sunday and recently the Mail. They both sent journalists to interview me so, although they were heavily restricted from telling the truth, they did at least know the background. No other journalist has ever interviewed me; instead they take all their information from Ian McEwan who, when I told him I was suing for divorce, said, 'I am going to make you look such an arsehole'. All this is documented in my diaries, letters etc. I think you would be better advised to trust me as the authority on myself rather than the press.

My complaints regarding recent defamation and libel in the Sunday Times and the Times are currently under investigation by IPSO. I have rewritten letters of complaint regarding irregularities in the courts to the Lord Chancellor, the Home Secretary and the Attorney General.

Could you please let me know how to make a complaint about libel and defamation in your pages?

I hope I have submitted this in the correct way. If I haven't it is simply an error and would appreciate correction. Thank you. Penny Allen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheltenham penny (talk • contribs) 12:49, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Page deletion

Hey, I can't seem to edit the page 'The Porn Dude' any more because you deleted it. Can you fix that up please, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poundgroup (talk • contribs) 23:09, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

I deleted it because another editor suggested that it didn't meet the notability criteria for inclusion. A suggestion I agree with and also that the article was little more than an advert for the website. This was after another admin had deleted it for the same reason and you recreated it without considering why it had been deleted. I suggest that you read Wikipedia:Notability (web) and if you think the site is notable then you create an article through the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process where you can get feedback without risk of deletion.

I didn't even finish writing the article or including the relevant sources before you deleted it. Seems a little trigger happy for the both of you to just decide 'nah, this isn't good enough' before I've even completed its creation. It seems really impossible for new users to Wikipedia to even do anything without just getting shat on by people like you. Honest question: how many seconds did it take you to decide that the notability criteria wasn't met? Oh and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_a_jerk - read it, jerk.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Poundgroup (talk • contribs) 23:23, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Not many because I'm familiar the criteria and what should be there. If you can't post notability from the outset then you shouldn't post the article to mainspace but work it up as a draft first. Nthep (talk) 09:11, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Julian Smith MP

Nthep, you have deleted my recent addition to the page on Julian Smith MP on the grounds that "voting in line with a whip is hardly encyclopedic". It would have been more courteous to have discussed this with me first. You need to note two points. Firstly, this has been a very thin and basic page for a long time, with a specific request for more content. If you or another contributor comes up with better content, fine: but don't just delete stuff that is helping to flesh out a very skeletal page, unless you put better material in yourself. Secondly, the vote in question saw a large number of MPs of Mr Smith's party rebel. It is therefore a useful illustration of the extent of his party loyalty. An encylopedia is not just about dry facts but should include examples too, which may not in themselves be major facts but are illustrative. I am reverting your deletion. Zamedi

Then try putting it into context rather than a single statement and expecting others to make the connection between the last sentence and the preceding one. Better a stub with meaningful content than a longer one filled with random facts about the subject. Nthep (talk) 18:20, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Firstly, you have not explained why you discourteously deleted this addition without discussion, contrary to Wiki etiquette. That is not the behaviour of a responsible editor. Secondly, your description of my additions as "random facts" is a further discourtesy. The facts I have added are clearly not random and it is abusive to suggest they are. Such abuse is also not the sign of a responsible editor. Thirdly, I do not think it is unreasonable to expect readers to make a connection between two sentences in close proximity. Fourthly, if you consult other pages about British MPs, you will find many have very substantially more circumstantial detail than the few lines I have added to this stub: using those as a comparator, no responsible editor could possibly object to my changes. Zamedi

Read WP:BRD, not every edit has to be discussed to the nth degree before it is enacted. Picking two votes out of all those he has or could have made to establish a point about loyalty is close to cherry picking and/or could be construed by some as conducting original research, for the sake of clarity I would point out that I don't believe you have engaged in OR but that others could construe your edits that way. A simple statement to the effect that he has demonstrated a strong loyalty to the government line with a reference to theyworkforyou or publicwhip would suffice. You might also want to check out your statement that he opposes gay marriage as all the news stories point to the opposite. Yes, publicwhip shows him as a rebel because he voted for the bill which put him in a minority of Conservative MPs not because he opposed government policy - he may not have been completely in favour at the outset of the bill's progress through Parliament, I haven't checked, but that is not how he ended up voting and certainly not a view now expressed on his own website. On the seven occasions when a vote was held on the topic of gay marriage he voted in favour four times and was absent the other three as publicwhip shows. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a great point to rely on, we are discussing one article not all articles on MPs. Nthep (talk) 20:39, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

(Sigh.) I give up. I will delete the changes I have made. Feel free to delete this dialogue. Zamedi

Re: File:Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 cover.jpg

02:12, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello Nthep. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).
