Restoring NewsWatch from my Sandbox

Hi - NewsWatch was originally deleted because it did not have references. I have added references and updated the article. Can you please restore it? Please let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done. Thank you. - Coocat86 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coocat86 (talk • contribs)

Hi. The NewsWatch I am referring to is the one in my sandbox. It was deleted in November 2013 for no references and then put into my sandbox, and now the references have been added and new updates about the television show have been added. I believe this is the exact link to the page I am referring to user:Coocat86/sandbox. If this is not the correct path to get the article published can you please let me know how to? Thank you! Coocat86 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coocat86 (talk • contribs)

  • To suggest that your article should be published at NewsWatch indicates a very selfish attitude - apparently you think that the numerous other entities that use this name all count for nothing. NewsWatch TV, the title from which I moved it seems suitable. I am certainly not going to move it because I am not satisfied that you have established notability. But what is stopping you doing the move yourself (it lurks under a "More" tab at the top of the page)? Make sure you do move it and not do a copy&paste. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:36, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Modification of User Page

I insist you cite a Wikipedia policy that justifies your deletion of content from my use page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaysonSunshine (talk • contribs) 20:08, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of Stellardrone

The original modification of Stellardrone article gave me 7 days, if I read correctly, to justify the page was worthy of staying on Wikipedia. What is the value in deleting the page only 3 days into that 7 day period? Why should there be less time when the creator argues that the page is notable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaysonSunshine (talk • contribs) 20:08, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

  • True, Reddogsix (talk · contribs) initially applied a prod but then changed his mind, as he is fully entitled to do, and applied a speedy tag. This was possibly as a result of the weakness of your arguments on the talk page. Perhaps you should change your view that this band is sufficiently noteworthy. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:28, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Arbitrary changing of minds leads to the perception of unfairness, often. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaysonSunshine (talk • contribs)

I have done a preliminary reading of the notability guidelines and I don't fully understand them. Popularity is mentioned as not being sufficient or even necessary. It seems there's a correlation between popularity and notability. Second, my current interpretation of notability for a band would be some level of popularity, combined with several citations from a 3rd party source that somehow indicates notability, combined with a reasonable amount of text describe this band. Would that be sufficient? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaysonSunshine (talk • contribs) 20:33, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

The general notability guideline states that a topic must have been discussed (in great depth; no trivial mentions) in multiple, reliable sources (i.e., no tabloids, blogs or wikis) that are independent of the source. For musicians, one can simply meet one of the criteria listed at WP:MUSICBIO.--Launchballer 20:41, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

That is a really good answer, Launchballer. :) I appreciate it. I think that should be sufficient for to ensure any future articles I try to add to Wikipedia will meet the notability guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaysonSunshine (talk • contribs)

Refusal to Cite Wikipedia Policy

Why do you refuse to cite Wikipedia policy that is allows you to modify my user page. You shared the single word 'freeloading'. Is this a reference to a Wikipedia policy (if so why don't you provide the link)? Is this how it makes you feel? Communication is necessary for a community of sentient beings with differing viewpoints to cooperate and collaborate. I did a Google search for 'freeloading + Wikipedia' and it doesn't return any results for a possible policy you're referencing.

I currently feel you modified my page because you do not like the topic concerning scientific investigation of pedophilia. I feel this is censorship and it bothers me significantly.

If you are an administrator, than be a leader of the community. Communicate to me why you have made this decision and how it is consistent with the policy of the community. We are both responsible for ensuring this doesn't turn into an ego war, as that is not productive for the community. Unfortunately, I predict you will never respond to this, and that's a horrible way to treat a human being. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaysonSunshine (talk • contribs) 20:28, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

I don't know what previous message you're referencing. 1 - " freeloading", 2 - "Wikpedia is not for essays. " 3 - "this is not the place to publish your essays". These are the messages I have from you on this topic. Is the message you're referencing in this set of three messages? Why do you say waffling? I don't feel I have waffled on anything. Why are you emotionally escalating the situation when you're an administrator? Leaders should de-escalate situations, yes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaysonSunshine (talk • contribs) 20:38, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

  • The only person doing any escalation is you. I simply felt battered by a barrage of messages arriving faster than I could answer them. You left a message at Modification of User Page above. I replied to it with what I claim is an adequate citation of policy. You obviously did not read the reply or you would not have written the "why did you refuse" message above. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:53, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

It is true I contributed to the escalation, and so did you. I agree I sent many messages, and I can see how you might feel battered. I got really frustrated at what I perceive to be arbitrary censorship. (Offers a flower of peace) —JaysonSunshine (talk) 01:24, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Censorship

Extended content
Violation of Wikipedia User Page Policy: Censorship.

It seems ironic that I should be sharing this with you, rather than vice versa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_pages "if desired, limited autobiographical and personal content" - This indicates your position may be correct, though limited is open to interpretation.

"Users believed to be in violation of these policies should first be advised on their talk page using Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your user page may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. If you believe that your user page does not violate our guideline, please leave a note on this page. Alternatively you may add {{Db-userreq}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's user page guideline. Thank you. when immediate action is not otherwise necessary." - Why didn't you advise me on my talk page before modifying my user page?

RHaworth: "Besides communication, other legitimate uses of user space include (but are not limited to):" "Personal writings suitable within the Wikipedia community Non-article Wikipedia material such as reasonable Wikipedia humor, essays and perspectives, personal philosophy, comments on Wikipedia matters"

You have violated Wikipedia policy. I demand you immediately, or another administrator, revert the changes on my user page. It appears you have modified my page because you don't support scientific study of pedophilia. This is your legal and ethical right. It is not your right to censor others here on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaysonSunshine (talk • contribs)

Hi, RHaworth. That is reasonable. I don't know if there's a better way to have these sorts of communications. I'm interested in learning about that. Also, one hour will be useful to allow a calming of the situation. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaysonSunshine (talk • contribs) 20:58, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

How long is it going to be before you cite Wikipedia policy. JaysonSunshine (talk) 22:49, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

You literally have a picture on your user page about how you boast about "growling" at new users more than you should https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RHaworth#mediaviewer/File:Charlie_210.jpg. You seem to be literally idolizing the mistreatment of new users on Wikipedia, which I would say is consistent with your behavior in this encounter with me. This seem to be the opposite attitude of an administrator. It's fairly evident you're never going to respond as an administrator. I accept this position. I no longer recognize you as an administrator and I shall have no further contact with you. I already escalated the issue to the general contact for Wikipedia, with citations of your violation several Wikipedia policies. I learned to sign my pages, maybe one day you'll learn how to cite and follow Wikipedia policies. Good luck. JaysonSunshine (talk) 22:54, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

He cited two above. Whether he follows them perfectly or not, I guess varies from case to case. It's good that you are now pursuing your disagreement via email, as that seemed more appropriate from what I've seen. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:58, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Pilot Season (film)

Hi. Thanks for closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pilot Season (film). If you have a moment, please could you add it to the hoax page, per the admin instructions. I've added the text and notes to the table on the page already. Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 13:03, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

  • Please provide links when you talk about articles. I think you were trying to ask me to restore the article. I really disapprove - the restriction for listing short lived hoaxes to those "covered in independent third-party sources" should be extended to any time limit. It is unremarkable that an orphan, uncategorised article should remain unnoticed for three years. Reluctantly restored. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:32, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

IP posting / Pusheen

The suggestion the signature was fraudulent is ludicrous. As it was *accurate*, it was arguably less fraudulent than the highly stylized signatures which (non-maliciously) obfuscate the username. ~~~~ does not produce "User:"; no user with any experience on the site would mistake what I did for the result of ~~~~. I will continue to do exactly as I did, if and when I post as an IP, whenever and for whatever reason I feel it preferable not to log in (like not having LastPass open at a public terminal) . People are entirely welcome to doubt whether or not it was my post until such a time as I log in and put the matter to rest. As long as I'm prepared for that, it's my business how I identify myself. - BalthCat (talk) 15:01, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

In this situation, I would:
  • Add <onlyinclude>(your signature) ([[(where you explain yourself)|logged out]])</onlyinclude> to any part of your userpage. (The only reason I can't do that is because I transclude something else on it.) If this sends this over 255 characters - which it doesn't as yours is the default signature - then so be it, because no reasonably thinking admin will complain.
  • When logged out, use {{subst:User:BalthCat}} ~~~~~. This will make it clear to any user what the situation is.
But, as you say, it's your business.--Launchballer 19:35, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Stellar (payment protocol)

Please could you undelete Stellar (payment protocol). After the deletion notification was added to it I added info as to why it is notable. So please could you undelete it. — Jzlcdh (talk) 08:02, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

[1] [2] [3] [4] — Jzlcdh (talk) 08:06, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Stellar is not its own protocol, it is an instance of the Ripple payment protocol, albeit with a couple of extensions like inflation. The network needed a new name, like Stellar, when they forked the Ripple codebase due to trademark and branding reasons, but aside from a few minor extensions, it is still the Ripple payment protocol (RTXP).
When Microsoft and Netscape added their own extensions to HTML, they did not rename the spec from HTML to something company specific. Instead, people just referred to the result as HTML with either Netscape or Microsoft extensions. The same idea applies here. 69.94.201.250 (talk) 08:58, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Yes you are right technically it is very similar to ripple. However, as you probably know, their business models are very different. Therefore I believe it should have it's own article in the same way that Litecoin has its own article. If you agree what do you suggest the title of the article should be? Jzlcdh (talk) 09:18, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Ripple and Stellar aren't just similiar, at a server and protocol level they are nearly identical since stellard is a very recent fork of rippled 0.25.1. (See links at end of this comment)
I don't necessarily take issue with Stellar having a Wikipedia entry, I take issue with naming the Wikipedia entry "Stellar (payment protocol)." A more accurate description would be "Stellar is a payment network based on the Ripple protocol." In this instance, "Steller" is just a trademark/branding name for a system using the Ripple protocol (RTXP) with some extensions. The Stellar Foundation did not invent an entirely new protocol, they just added some transaction types to the Ripple protocol. Stellar_(value_network) seems to fit well.
This is all provided that Stellar sticks around and becomes used enough to deserve more than a section within the main Ripple (payment protocol) entry as an attempted fork. Litecoin has been around a long time, Stellar is a very recent fork.
Open Source code gets forked all the time, and renaming the project is a part of that. However, renaming the protocol used by the project isn't. A Stellar Wikipedia entry should certainly talk about the distinct qualities of Stellar as a Foundation and payment network, but when it gets to the description of the payment protocol, it should detail the extensions it added to the Ripple protocol and then reference the main article on the Ripple (payment protocol). Not only does that article describe the underlying mechanics of the protocol, but it gives the history of the development of the systems back to the original 2004 Ryan Fugger whitepaper. Being the same base protocol, there would be tremendous overlap by describing the Ripple protocol again within the Stellar page.
Some history and context for you:
* The commit where a Ripple Labs employee changed the version from rippled 0.24.0 to rippled 0.25.1. Before this, most committers are Ripple Labs employees; after this, most committers are Stellar Foundation employees.[5]
* Master branch of rippled merged back into stellard.[6]
* An instance of Find/Replace of Ripple references for Stellar references.[7] 69.94.201.250 (talk) 18:02, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
Since I made the previous naming suggestion, it came to my attention that there is a discussion happening on the Ripple_(payment_protocol)'s talk page about splitting that page into separate pages for the Transmission Protocol, the Payment & Exchange Network and for Ripple Labs. In light of that discussion, I would support moving the Stellar RTXP extensions into the proposed Ripple Transmission Protocol page and creating parallel pages for the Stellar Payment & Exchange Protocol as well as the Stellar Development Foundation. Provided that the latter two meet the notability guidelines (I'm not going to judge that).
Please stop by that talk page and join the discussion. Since Stellar and Ripple are nearly identical twins, it would be nice to get the naming and structure consistent. 69.94.201.250 (talk) 01:24, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Llanrhydd Rural

Following deletion of this page, I received this from the co–ordinator of the Ruthin area web presence team: "Robin has now received an open content agreement from DCC and has notified Wiki accordingly." Sorry I can't remember Robin's surname, but he is Welsh and employed by Wikipedia in some capacity, with a responsibility for content in Wales. [edit: found it Robin Owain <[redacted]>] Is it possible that this page can now be reinstated? I have more villages to add, but the data source will be the same, so there is little point by adding the content, if someone is then going to remove it.

  • It is a very bad idea to publish email addresses on Wikipedia. What you should have provided were links to his bio and his user page. Please read what I think of people who copy a website and think they have created a Wikipedia article. Llanrhydd Rural was an example of what happens when people do that - a totally unbalanced article - too much about the church, even a contact phone for visiting! and nothing about the village. It contained a very cheeky claim that the source page was licensed under the GFDL when it is nothing of the sort. By all means use small extracts from properly licensed sites but in general Wikipedia articles should use text specifically written for Wikipedia.

POET Technologies

Hello, I see that you have deleted the POET Technologies page? I was actually hoping to learn more about it and came to Wiki to find that it had recently been deleted by you? I actually follow the link from Ajit Manocha's Wiki page after finding that he had recently become Executive Vice Chairmen of the company. From what I understand the significance of the POET Technologies process is that it is likely going to be a huge leap in technology stepping in where silicon is now finding itself becoming stagnant. I have been researching it for a few weeks new and I saw that the Lead Scientist presented the topic at the Empire Club of Canada a very prestigious forum, one I am sure have herd of. Maybe you can put the page back up and have it edited to indicate the importance and significance?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JordanBaldwin (talk • contribs) 15:33, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Re List of Mega64 episodes (season 2)

What happened here? It looks like you deleted this article out of hand, which a good case could be made that it's utter cruft, but on the other hand 1) there was a discussion about these episodes in 2007 and the decision was to keep this stuff in some form, plus 2) now we have a non-parallel situation as described here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Mega64 episodes (season 1).

how do you expect RHaworth (talk · contribs) to read the article without a wikilink to the article? And always remember to sign your contributions. Wikicology (talk) 13:40, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
  • @Amsterfiend: what you must do here on Wikipedia is not to gain notoriety for a topic or subject, but to establish the notability of the topic or subject by what you write in the proposed article about it. WP:42. And no, citing a single newspaper that discusses the subject would not suffice, because notability requires multiple independent sources to discuss the subject in detail. And yes, a news publication that is offline is totally OK as a source, I suggest you read WP:REFB to learn how to cite it. You do not need to upload it anywhere (although on a very very few occasions I have requested such a thing from others.) --Demiurge1000 (talk) 17:53, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Copyvios

Sorry if I was 'bugging you' in suggesting that they contact you, since you were the deleter. TLSuda actually suggested in IRC that getting them the content just mailed so they can recreate the page without the copyvio would be easier. Anyhow, was trying to be 'polite' and not actually say what you said on the wiki instead of IRC (since it's harder to give a not-mean tone to it) but I fully approve the sentiment.

I should just start saving copies of all these G-12 pages, given the amount of talk page traffic they are getting me all of a sudden, but meh. FYI, I'm trying to actually scan the majority of the huge AfC backlog, since it seems like about 10-15% are copyvios.

But more importantly, it turns out that the editor is actually speaking on behalf on an organisation representing the Mbunda people and the content being injected into numerous articles is generated by said organisation. I have opened a COI entry here and thought you might have an opinion on the matter. Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 21:17, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Apologies for being long-winded, I was trying to be comprehensive and show that there is enough evidence. Your guidance would be welcome. Can you point me to an example of "a good case"? Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 03:21, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Restoring Draft:Hallsville, North Carolina

Hello. You recently flagged my article Hallsville, North Carolina for an "ambiguous copyright violation" and it was deleted before I could make changes and resubmit it. I spent a deal of time writing the said article and was unaware that this would occur. The source provided as evidence for the copyright violation contained information that was public domain, so I do not think that there was in actuality a copyright violation. However, if you could restore the draft for me to edit, I will be happy to rephrase the information in a manner that does not raise any red flags. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marc.bratcher (talk • contribs) 21:10, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello, You recently reviewed and flagged my page, Draft:Hilco Global for deletion due to copyright infringement. I would like to appeal this ruling since the information flagged as copyrighted is from the Hilco Global Website and as a party related to Hilco Global i give permission to use this information. If this is still a problem then could you please give me some information for how to fix this issue? do i just need to re-write it in my own words? I have been trying to get this article published with little success and little guidance or help for several months now. I look forward to your response. Thank you. also, i would like to get my content back so that i can amend it to an acceptable and appropriate version. — BenHilco (talk) 21:41, 3 September 2014 (UTC) BenHilco

The Honey Do Service, Inc.

Hi Grumpy Old Man, My draft Draft:The Honey Do Service, Inc. was recently deleted due to copyright violations. I've run the article through a duplicate content search and changed the things which violated copyright. I saw the message "If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the deleting administrator using the information provided below." I'd like to resubmit the article and would like to know the next step. — Honeydoservice (talk) 00:59, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Please dont totally delete my User page Engr. Joelar V. Larion. Just revert it as my User Page. It is suppose to be a User page of mine, Im trying to revert it using the revision history but the system fail, i guest only you admin can do the revert my page only as a User page. Thank you Larion 07:02, 4 September 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jvlarion (talk • contribs)

Had it been a straight WP:A7 more generosity would have been given, but it also falls foul of WP:G11, which means it also would have been deleted if it had been your user page. Please learn: to sign your posts with --~~~~; wikilinks; to wait until someone with no COI deems you notable and writes about you here.--Launchballer 07:30, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

But why totally delete it? its been up for 2 years ago but why only now? its too harsh, give me a change to improve it but now how can i retrieve the deleted page of mine? -- Larion 08:17, 4 September 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jvlarion (talk • contribs)

Have you read my page? its been up for almost 2 year, there is a time that i move it in folder wikipedia and some of the admin just move it where it belongs in my User page not deleting it. you can view the revision history of it. My page is too important not only for me I hope you understand thank you. -- Larion 08:47, 4 September 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jvlarion (talk • contribs)

  • Yes, I have read your page. It is pure social networking. Obviously it has no place in the (article) namespace and it has no place in the user: namespace either because you are not a Wikipedia editor and in two years you have made it obvious that you have no intention of becoming one. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:31, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

I want to become a wikipedia editor, And I want to start in my own User page, so my concern is how can i retrieved my User page to start. Please don't judge my intentions of becoming one its unfair. Those social networking you probably you saw is just a link that I thought okay if it is not, I can delete that and anything against the rule. But how can I retrieve my User Page? I've created it with hard work and full of dedications so please dont just delete it just because of some rules, I learning my lesson here so please give me another chance, please revert back my User page. Thank you very much sorry for all inconvenience that I brought :) -- Larion 10:53, 4 September 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jvlarion (talk • contribs)

As I said before I do some revert but the system itself cant retrieved my User page. I can do that contribution if that is what you require to be one. But I need a honest answer is my User Page can still be retrieved? you will be held liable for all my hard work after doing what you required then at the end my User page cant be retrieved, my heart will be pierced with eternal agony if my User page cant be retrieved. I hope you understand. --Larion 11:22, 4 September 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jvlarion (talk • contribs)

  • "Eternal agony" indeed! I can let you have the text immediately if you promise to post it somewhere other than Wikipedia. Indeed even if you became a proper editor, your page would still be unsuitable because it is too much about you and not enough about what you do on Wikipedia. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:43, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much mate that will do, I will not post that page here. You can send the text in my email I already checked the Enable email from other users, Thank you very much I really appreciate it. --Larion 14:24, 4 September 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jvlarion (talk • contribs)

Draft:The Trouble with Barry

Draft:The Trouble with Barry (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2400473/combined). Hi there, My article (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:The_Trouble_with_Barry&action=edit&redlink=1) was deleted for copyright infringement (I think) because I copied and pasted the same plot synopsis I posted on IMDB into the "plot" section of the article. Would it be possible for me to submit a new article on the same subject with an originally drafted plot synopsis that I come up with on the spot, that isn't featured anywhere else? Thank you.
