Account unbanned and unblocked

Robert -

Per the current discussion on WP:ANI regarding your prior ban and request to be unbanned and unblocked, as the sense of the community is that you've behaved yourself per your probation agreements with various monitoring administrators and so forth, I am unblocking your account.

I wish you good luck in editing Wikipedia in a constructive and cooperative manner going forwards. I am sure that you know that admins and checkusers will be keeping an eye on you - I certainly hope that you don't have any interest in transgressing again and won't dissapoint the community here. I assume that you've requested this and will behave yourself in good faith and with constructive intent.

Congratulations and best wishes, Robert. Welcome back to Wikipedia :) - Alison ^❤ 01:54, 5 February 2009 (UTC) (I know you won't let me down)[reply]

Hooray! I've started a thread at ANI as well to get a community-appointed mentor for you. Thanks for confirming my good faith in you over the last six months. Now I do believe there's lots of theater and film articles that need attention... :) ~Eliz81 ^(C) 17:38, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know you're not around Robert, but it probably makes sense to get you a well-established administrator or editor with a long positive history to give you the best possible shot over the next few months. I'll put out more requests and see who would be willing. ~Eliz81 ^(C) 17:13, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am willing to be your mentor. I do request an assistant (or associate mentor). My qualifications are that I am generally nice, do not have a political agenda to achieve about the Troubles, and have been cleared by a checkuser as not being your sock (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADurova&diff=267423818&oldid=267422659 ) Welcome to Wikipedia! If you agree to having me as your mentor, let me know. I am not offended if you choose not to have me as your mentor. Chergles (talk) 21:32, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back. I wish you the best of luck. :) Happy editing, Kingturtle (talk) 01:57, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mentorship

I received your response/request. You are an adult (I presume), not a child. So, let's start by treating you as an adult. Rather than have strict rules, let's try loose rules, first. One goal is not to give those who dislike you an excuse. Try to edit on a completely non-controversial article for 2 days. If you can't think of anything, no need to edit. If you really want to edit on a controversial article, let me know first.

I'll let you develop good judgement, if you don't already have it. After each day, summarize your edits to me on my talk page. Tell me what you did and critique it for me. Having you self-evaluate yourself is what you have to do in daily life as there is not a policeman on every street corner. Good luck! Chergles (talk) 16:00, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please note, Robert, that Chergles has been blocked indefinitely as the sock of banned editor Archtransit/Dereks1x. Don't worry - we'll find you another mentor, but in the meantime, you're fine to edit away. Sorry about the bad start back to Wikipedia. - Alison ^❤ 15:02, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great to see you editing, and I'm so happy your edits get to stay now :) ~Eliz81 ^(C) 02:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Colleen Howe

OK I stop editing for awhile. I know how frustrating it is to bump into edit conflicts. I will re-look I though I should add. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 01:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DEFAULSORT

Welcome back. Please omit disambiguation terms from DEFAULTSORT and sort keys, normally. See Wikipedia:Categorization_of_people#Ordering_names_in_a_category for that and other special considerations. ("The sort key should mirror the article's title as closely as possible, while omitting disambiguating terms.") I've fixed your recent edits; no biggie, I'm a sorting gnome. Studerby (talk) 02:05, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Duncan Ferguson

I'm not stalking you, really... But I happened to notice that your work on the Duncan Ferguson articles has left a great raft of links intended for the footballer article pointing at the disambiguation page (see [1] - I suspect a few mislinks are in there too). Not a tragedy, and well intentioned, but someone somewhere will likely be annoyed... Actually, I think that if you undo your changes and then move the footballer article to the name you want, then most of the links will be auto-fixed for you (a relatively new feature, I think) - a different way to get the same intended result. I'm pretty sure you still have to manually fix the links that were originally redirects, newly double-redirects, there's a note about that in the move success message. Also, using move preserves the article edit history under the new name, and will drag along the associated talk page, if you select the right option on the move. Studerby (talk) 02:22, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Cirt (talk) 16:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mary Warburg

Nice job with the expansion. Thanks. You should think about nominating it for a DYK. Bongo matic 08:53, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Raymond Corbett Shannon

I've unprodded and expanded this article. I think you'll agree it now clearly shows notability (e.g., three published obituaries, one of them in the New York Times). —David Eppstein (talk) 03:59, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Patricia Krenwinkel

You had left a POV tag on the article earlier but didn't leave a message on the talk page explaining your concerns. I think I know why, and I'm also thinking it has to do with the huge gutting that was done on the article last week. It's on my list of things to get back to and deal with, but I'm not quite ready to tackle replacing and sourcing everything the other editor removed. If that's the reason you've tagged it, or for whatever other reason it was, could you just please leave a note explaining that? Thanks.

Hollyoaks

Hi. I felt that your edits to Hollyoaks were unconstructive, and didn't warrant the removal of the {{copyedit}} tag. As such, I've reverted them and restored the tag. ~~ [ジャム]^[t - c] 17:02, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting sentences in half

Is there a reason you're splitting sentences in half mid-way through a paragraph - for example, the large space between "Shallow Grave", "Trainspotting" and "Braveheart" in this edit? All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 18:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The high school one only had one mid-sentence break. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 19:08, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okonedo

IMDB isn't a reliable source for anything but film credits. This website, BFI, states that it "Checked birth at the Family Records Centre, London. Born in the Brent registration district" and lists 1968 - [2]. (btw, I've noticed "January 1" is often a date sites list when they are unsure of the exact date) All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 22:40, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Peter F. Donnelly

I just wanted to thank you for the changes you made on this article. I wrote it very late last night (finishing after midnight), wanting to get it online as the man had just passed and was very notable, especially in the Seattle community and I believed there would be some who would be seeking more information. However, I did struggle a bit near the end to keep my focus on details. The changes you made very much improved the article and ultimately made me look better as I had sought some research information from the organizations he worked with, who will likely investigate the article at some point. Your efforts are appreciated. Thanks. Laura OneHappyHusky (talk) 18:14, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Elaine Cancilla Orbach

A tag has been placed on Elaine Cancilla Orbach requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Dates

Hi, I noticed that you linked a date or two at Regina Ip. You may be unaware that this practice is no longer endorsed. Please see WP:LINKING and WP:MOSNUM. In fact, the following temporary injunction has been passed in Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Date delinking:

Until this case is decided or otherwise directed by the Arbitration Committee, all editors are instructed not to engage in any program of mass linking or delinking of dates in existing articles, including but not limited to through the use of bots, scripts, tools, or otherwise. This injunction is entered as an interim measure and does not reflect any prejudgment of any aspect of the case. I'm happy to respond to any inquiries you may have about the matter.

Inappropriate username

Please read WP:IU, and note that email addresses are banned as usernames. Please consider choosing an alternative username and moving your work to this. Thanks, Ian Cairns (talk) 12:31, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively, you could request a username change, in which case all of your edits are transferred to a different name. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 12:41, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do this ASAP, as otherwise there is a significant probability that an uninvolved admin may, quite innocently, apply a username block, which we do not want. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 14:09, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response on my talk page. I will seek advice from the previously involved admins, given that the username you are currently using is, in truth, not according to wiki policy. I should perhaps stipulate that I have no problem of any kind with your editing behaviour. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 14:58, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

May I echo Anthony's wise words - and state that I have had no problem with your good faith editing. Ian Cairns (talk) 15:04, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:Durova has corrected my incorrect assumption re your username, as you said s/he would. My apologies for hassling you. Happy wikying. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 19:44, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Clara Meadmore

I have nominated Clara Meadmore, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clara Meadmore. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Ironholds (talk) 03:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Katarzyna's birthdate

you stated that Katarzyna Dolinska was born February 14, 1985. what is your source for that information? ... MistyWillows ^talk 17:44, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you mean. I did an Intelius search for Dolinska, for which I paid $1.75, which gave the February 1985 birthdate. I actually was looking for her middle name but couldn't find more than the initial "M.". Instead I found that date of birth, which seems accurate. A paid Intelius search is an https URL which means you cannot link to it, but you are free to check it out yourself (http://www.intelius.com/), however, please remember that there is more than one Katarzyna Dolinska, however unique her name seems; there are at least two, maybe three.

However the date/year of birth can remain blank until it is confirmed if you prefer; it is not a huge deal for me.

Cheers, Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 23:11, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. But remember, there may be a good reason why she is keeping her birthdate private, as per reasons listed in WP:BLP. I would prefer to leave it blank until it can be found on say a modeling agency webpage or in a newspaper. Thanks! Plastikspork (talk) 23:19, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jaslene Gonzalez

Please read WP:BLP regarding the need for WP:RS. Your edit removed the "fact" tag by her birthdate. I am reverting your edit until a WP:RS is produced. Thanks! Plastikspork (talk) 22:00, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I forgot to mention that I am not the editor who inputted her date of birth. That was someone else.

Yours, Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 23:16, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I realize that, but it's still a good idea to have a RS before removing a {{fact}} tag. For a WP:BLP it's usually best to just remove the entire statement as per WP:BLP. Thanks! Plastikspork (talk) 23:21, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Patty Costello

No problem. I think that birthdate is correct now, but I'll be on the lookout for further confirmation. Zagalejo^^^ 20:56, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Morgan Ogg

A tag has been placed on Morgan Ogg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Removal of extraneous CSD tag on Morgan Ogg

Hello, I took the liberty of removing the db-copyvio tag you re-added over the Morgan Ogg article. The mentions of changes should go to the article's talk page (as you did), an administrator will investigate and decide on the article's status shortly. The article itself should normally not be speedied again. Cheers, MLauba (talk) 21:52, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Date linking

I am concerned that you are removing date links quoting an edit summary of "dates delinked per WP:LINKING injunction" The actual injunction prohibits the mass removal or addition of date links until the arbitration committee has completed its work. Please see the Injunction. Thank you. Keith D (talk) 22:22, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mentorship

God knows I have serious reservations about this, as I don't know your own earlier history beyond some details I've read elsewhere, which frankly aren't encouraging. I am enough of an idiot to try to give virtually anyone another chance, as can be seen in my votes and actions elsewhere. I may not be able to offer a great deal of time on a regular basis, but I am willing to help you out as much as you want given the other constraints I have. I realize this isn't necessary the most encouraging message you've ever received, but if you want a mentor, I would be willing to do what I can. John Carter (talk) 16:08, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then you might want to change the content of your user page, which indicates that you are actively seeking a mentor. And please don't take the above comments as being too critical. My own fields of "expertise" if I have any are primarily religious and geographical, and I wasn't sure whether either would be useful to you. I might myself very seriously consider requesting to change your user name to something else as per the other comments you've received. Requests at Wikipedia:Changing username generally get answered fairly quickly. And happy editing. John Carter (talk) 16:27, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

date of birth missing should be placed in the talk page

Hi. Please read instructions in Category:Date of birth missing. This category should be placed in discussion pages. Moreover, be very careful when adding Category:Date of birth missing (living people). Please read instruction very very carefully and WP:BLP as well. Sometimes date of birth is sensitive private data. Be sure you understand the difference between this category, which is intended for talk pages, and Category:Year of birth missing.

Moreover, keep in mind that Category:Place of birth missing should be place in discussion pages as well and not on article's pages. Thanks, Magioladitis (talk) 21:24, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AFD Re-opened

As you are an editor who had been involved in the Afd discussion of Jennifer Fitzgerald, I'm here to let you know that I re-opened the discussion on the article to gain a stronger consensus. After some discussion with a few other editors I agree that I may have closed the article too hastily and that further discussion is necessary before a final decision is made. Best wishes, Icestorm815 • Talk 19:28, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Request

I've moved the article to your userspace. It can be found here: User:Rms125a@hotmail.com/Lessie Wei. Now you can work on the article here and when you feel that it meets the criteria of notability you can move it back into the mainspace or ask another user or myself to help you out. I do agree that the article didn't necessarily merit a speedy deletion because it made assertions of various positions that she held. However, the article will need a bit of improvement, such as inline citation, more sources, and a bit of expansion in terms of content. At the article's current state it would most likely be deleted through a WP:Prod or through AFD. (Don't worry, we usually don't delete articles that are being worked on in userspaces, the prod and AFD generally applies to only articles that are in the mainspace.) Hope that helps. If you have questions, feel free to let me know. Icestorm815 • Talk 20:58, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
