Help editing Michael Deibert article

For some time now, I have been trying to clean up a low-importance article on the American journalist and author Michael Deibert but a user registered as Context23 keeps vandalizing it. Chiefly, Context23 continues to link to what I believe is highly contentious and possibly libelous material in the form of an article attacking Deibert by a Haitian politician named Patrick Elie (one of Deibert’s specialities appears to be Haiti) in a website I have never heard of before. I researched Elie and found that he evidently has a history of making false claims (on his website, Deibert links to articles chronicling how Elie spent time in prison for falsely claiming to be a diplomat and using a false address on a federal firearms transaction in connection to some sort of apparent assassination plot), so I am very worried that this link goes several steps beyond Wiki’s no-libel policy. There is already one article linked to critical of Deibert’s writing (which appear the point of the creation of the Context23 account) and that article falls within Wiki’s standards. However, I find the second article - the one that Context23 continuously links to - and another one linked to by someone named Diana Barahona that accuses Deibert of libel - do not. Thoughts? Thank you for taking time to help with this! Just trying to make Wiki a better community for all concerned! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MultiWorlds (talk • contribs) 11:44, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Re help editing Michael Deibert article

First of all I have to admit that the frequency of my edits in the past 24 hours has been excessive, I do understand that and will refrain from making such frequent edits in any articles in a given 24 hour period.

In regard to the Michael Deibert article on Wikipedia: Wikipedia user Multiworlds has repeatedly deleted references with links to newspaper articles documenting the massive amount of criticism Deibert's journalism has received, especially where it pertains to his reporting on Haiti.

The differential edits do show my high frequency editing, but also serve to document that both the edition to the article as well as the references used, stay very well within the scope of user guidelines for wikipedia, and that any disputes should have been resolved on the discussion page. That of course includes me, which I must also admit that previously, I had not laid out my reasons for the edits with due diligence as could have been hoped for. I do realize that the need for discussion is implicit, but it should come from all sides involved in the editing process in order to result in Wikipedia articles that are of any value.

The range of Michael Deibert's vociferous critics includes among others Haitian, Canadian and U.S. activists for example a former Haitian government official in several administrations, political activist and writer: Patrick Elie , as well a plethora of journalists from the Caribbean nation and abroad such as Justin Podur: [see: A dishonest Case for a Coup : part of a dialogue with the writer Michael Deibert].

Many newspaper articles, blog entries and and other written material attest to the not inconsequential amount of negative attention Deibert has garnered. The criticism, ranging from the very well documented and researched to perhaps more deceptive claims, gives strong evidence that any objective article about Deibert should mention both the quantitative as well as qualitative discussions Michael Deiberts book and articles have engendered. It is not within the scope of the Wikipedia/Deibert article to examine all claims, may they be proven or unproven, in regard to the journalistic merits of Michael Deibert's journalistic skills, instead, in order to have any merit, it is imperative that the article examines both any positive as well as negative connotations being associated with Deibert's media contributions.

The claim that articles that were linked to by me are potentially libelous is especially spurious in light of the fact that Mr. Deibert very frequently uses the accusation of libel in his comments and articles [see for example the numerous comments the writer leaves in public forums.

Deibert's journalism has included allegations of child sacrifice: ["The charges culminate with Deibert’s uncritical reiteration of a gang leader’s claim, from his Florida exile, that a baby missing from a Port-au-Prince hospital had been kidnapped by So Anne and murdered in a vodou ritual to strengthen Aristide." by a well known Haitian activist, Annette Auguste a.k.a. Sò Anne [see: Amnesty International ]

Some of the media's claims against Deibert may be libelous, but in much the same fashion as his spurious and undocumented claims of child sacrifice in Haiti, just to stay with one example. No one has ever brought any allegations of this sort before a court in Haiti or abroad and no documents of verifiable testimony exist to make these claims any less absurd as they are even on superficial examination, given the well documented track record of of Annette Auguste as a community activist singer and grass roots activist in both Brooklyn, NY and Haiti.

Furthermore Vodoun, the main religion of Haiti that Deibert implicates as being involved in child sacrifice in the case of Anette Auguste, is not mentioned in academic literature as being involved in human sacrifice which is not prevalent in contemporary Haiti.

Given the facts at hand: that Michael Deibert has made several highly defaming cklaims, to date unverified or backed up with primary research materials, it should not be considered potentially libelous to include articles into the Wikipedia/Deibert article that merely serve to illustrate the contentiousness of his writing. None of the changes to the "Michael Deibert" article as edited by me, contain anything that could be construed as defamatory or libelous.

The article is very one-sided in its current form and mainly reads like a public relations piece about the author. Without any references providing a more balanced viewpoint, the article merely mirrors the authors own web-pages and has no encyclopedic value.

Thank you!

Thank you for your comment, I did find your talk page after User Multiworlds started deleting multiple times on my talk page and also deleted content I had posted in the Michael Deibert article over 16 times without much any discussion. Since I was unable to have a constructive talk with Multiworlds, I thought responding to Multiworlds' comments on your talk page might at least lead to a dialogue. I hope that was o.k.. Context23 (talk) 02:25, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

It's fine. It's just that I don't do much wikipedia anymore. I'm not sure why that other user decided to talk to me. Hopefully someone will deal with it at the noticeboard. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 02:39, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Re:Talk page edits

Dear User:Peregrine Fisher, thanks for your advice. I appreciate it. I'll consider archiving at a later date. With regards, Anupam^Talk 01:04, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Dear User:Peregrine Fisher, that might be a hard habit to break! Also, thanks for the compliment. That really means a lot. My concern is that if the article is made a dab, the content will no longer be relevant to the other articles, which often discuss different subject matter, since all of the references I found in the article explicitly use the phrase "militant atheism." In fact, if you look at the article, every single citation has the original quote from the author in it and uses this phrase specifically. Nevertheless, thanks for participating in the discussion there. All the best to you! With regards, Anupam^Talk 01:29, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Clarify comments on User talk:Spidey104

Hello. Spidey seems to think that in your comments on his talk page meant that he was right and that the pages shouldn't be redirected. I got the impression that you felt the redirects were valid, but you just wanted to make sure I was doing it for the right reason. Can you please clarify your opinion? JDDJS (talk) 00:15, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Neither person is right. The articles probably could be sourced, which means keep, but they probably never will be, which means redirect. It's basically just personal preference. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 00:28, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Keep up the great work!

Special:Contributions/EEMIV. 500 edits

• Redirects without discussion
• Actions against consensus of discussion
• Subversion of AfD process
• Use of redirects to bypass the AfD process

EEMIV seems to think that mentioning proposals at the Star Trek project page gives rights superseding the AfD process. So I guess that makes the others at that project page complicit in this as well. I have seen this sort of behaviour before, but it has always been isolated incidents. This user does it habitually, and seems to have the backing of other editors as well. I think a message needs to be sent, that nowhere in WP:REDIRECT does it say that redirects are what you do with articles you do not like and cannot be bothered to nominate for deletion, or that you think might have a chance of being improved later (as many and various guidelines and essays indicate that stubs are for that purpose).

They do know how to upload image to Wikipedia, they just don't get the non-free content policies. They have also uploaded the same image to commons to try an circumvent the policies here. Lastly, they started out on the Russian Wikipedia with the same focus and seem to have had similar trouble there

Proposed deletion of Headlights (slang)

The article Headlights (slang) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A search for references failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources to comply with notability requirements. This included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Headlights (slang) – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. G. C.

Non-free rationale for File:Yukio (comics).jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Yukio (comics).jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members). So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers: Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available". Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497). Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 15:10, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Laura Ann Kesling

The article Laura Ann Kesling has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not asserted. No major roles in multiple films, etc. No major awards.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Scrapped Princess s01e08.png

Thank you for uploading File:Scrapped Princess s01e08.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
