Susan Etok page

You have gone through the article that I wrote about Susan Etok removing credible references and trying to get the page deleted. Your efforts have been noted by other editors as well to the point that I am convinced that you have a vested interest in this article because you are a Michael Jackson fan. Your comments in the article for deletion section seem full of malice.

I do not know and have not met Dr Etok, I wrote this article because I live in the town that she is from and she is always in the local papers and local news. Most recently last week.

I have spent alot of time researching this article and will not have my work destroyed because you have a grudge against the person in the article.

You have also made some comments in the article for deletion section about the subject in the article that could land you in legal hot water, but that is not of my concern.

If you are nothing to do with Ms Etok, then how come you are in possession of a studio-quality photograph of her? That seems rather odd. Shritwod (talk) 11:57, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shritwood, I am not sure what is wrong with you but you have some obssession with this lady that us not healthy. Why I have a studio quality picture of this lady because I downloaded it from her website with permission on no copyright restrictions. What has that got to do with anything? Objectivity is key here and you are not being objective. Anyone would think that you were racist or a Michael Jackson fan. You are not committed to getting accurate articles out there, you are hellbent on trying to ruin people's reputation. As an editor, you shouldn't be working on this article because it is clear that you know or have been involved with this woman. Your reaction is far too emotional to be one based on good editing and accuracy. Respect77 13:00, 28 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Respect77 (talk • contribs)

You claim in the copyright details that you are the copyright owner. You must therefore know the subject, or you must be make a false assertion about ownership. End of discussion. Shritwod (talk) 13:03, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am the copyright owner of the photo because I own the company that took her photographs. I am not the photographer and I have never spoken to or met the woman personally. We still ask for permission to use photos - it is courtesy!

So you own Paul William Photography? I am surprised that it has more than one person working for it. That should be very easy to verify. Oddly though, you said that you downloaded it from her web site. Now you say that an employee took the photograph. Perhaps you should get the details straight in your head. Shritwod (talk) 13:15, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Be my guest. Please verify the source of the photo.....Respect77 13:16, 28 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Respect77 (talk • contribs)

Counties

They are indeed accurate to the place where the people were born. Anyone born in Birmingham before 1974 was born in Warwickshire. This is indisputable. Anyone born in Munich in 1985 was born in West Germany. To take your view to the logical extreme, you might as well say King Harold was born in East Sussex, Immanuel Kant was born in the Russian Federation, or that Abraham was Iraqi. None of them were, obviously, so why hold different standards for people born in the 20th century? Where being "helpful" diverges from accuracy, I side with accuracy. JamKaftan (talk) 20:38, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but we are not dealing with historical figures, we are dealing with contemporary ones. The addition of the counties in many cases does not add value and it does not seem to fit in with the WP:UKPLACE guidelines. Shritwod (talk) 22:50, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff Davidson (speaker)

Most of the edits that have been made by moderators has not been to correct neutral tone issues, but rather the mass cutting of information. I understand perfectly fine if there are issues with neutrality, however I have sought to substantiate all of the claims on the article with some sort of citation or another. Many hours have been put into researching the necessary citations, and I would appreciate if the concerned moderators would not remove the properly cited information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by C3po2398 (talk • contribs) 14:12, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Multics-book.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Multics-book.png. 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 in section F6 of the 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.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:British-independence-day-canvassing.png

Thank you for uploading File:British-independence-day-canvassing.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.

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Nokia 3650. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Matthew Tye

Hi! Revisiting the AFD for Matthew Tye (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew Tye (3rd nomination)), I found South China Morning Post covered him in this 2020 story. This can be combined with this profile from the China-based That's Magazines (intended for foreigners living in China). Perhaps we can see if we can write a new article about Tye. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:04, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, I would also like to follow up on the AFD for Matthew Tye (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew Tye (3rd nomination)), Various internet articles related to Matthew are available so this indicates he is a notable person - should we proceed to create a new article or can we have the previous one restored so we can make updates.

@Infograbber19: I think The Beijinger should be a good source too. The Forbes article is written by a "contributor" (non-staff) and Forbes does not editorially review articles written by contributors, so that one does not count.

@Shritwod: Hi - Just wondering if it's best to create a new article or is it possible to undelete the existing one based on the sources relating to Matthew Tye (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew Tye (3rd nomination)) Infograbber19 (talk) 09:28, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@WhisperToMe: @Infograbber19: Not one of those looks like a reliable source, they are all blogs, non-notable of the mention of Tye is incidental. Even the Forbes one is a blog (see WP:RSVETTING). I don't think notability has been established and you have to bear in mind that the article has been deleted three times already. Without better sources I think it would just get deleted again. Shritwod (talk) 14:06, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One of them is an article of the South China Morning Post which in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources is deemed generally reliable (though with caveats for recent articles about Chinese politics). The article was published in 2020, after the last AFD (which was in 2018). The article gives Wikipedia:Significant coverage to Tye. That's one of at least two needed articles for notability. Now there's another consideration: The Beijinger, which did an article on Tye and Sterzel doing a trip in China (and the author is the "Deputy Managing Editor" so this is not a blog), is published by True Run Media and is a publication for expatriates in Beijing. There's also That's Magazines, which are published by Shanghai-based JY International Cultural Communications. I could start a reliable sources discussion about these expat publications in China if you like. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:16, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Shritwod: Following up on this one - as mentioned this individual has become more notable since 2018 and in relation to the source material, I believe taiwan news , national review , and fr24news are valid sources? Do you think these have enough content along with @WhisperToMe: comments about The Beijinger, South China Morning Post That's Magazines? Finally the initial deletion was for a different individual Matthew_Tye First RFD , 2nd and 3rd were back in 2018, Thanks. Infograbber19 (talk) 05:17, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Infograbber19 and WhisperToMe: If you guys need any assistance, let me know. I was actually planning to create a new article on Matthew Tye a month ago (around the middle of August), but due to limited time and being busy with other things, i forgot about it. In my opinion, of the ones already shared, the following are fine:

Taiwan News article (here)
National Review article (here)
South China Morning Post article (here)
US-China Today interview (here); US-China Today is a student-driven publication of the University of Southern California's U.S.-China Institute

Here are some additional sources:

Yibada article (here)
Voice of America article (here; in Chinese)

I don't like the fr24news article (here), since it lacks the author's name. If there is no objection, i can create a new article with some basic information, and we can begin adding from there. What's your opinion Shritwod? Demetrios1993 (talk) 13:51, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Those are better sources, but I'm not sure they pass the threshold of WP:BIO - to be fair I think a LOT of biographies in Wikipedia exist but don't really pass the threshold - specifically, if we count Tye as being a film-maker then I'm not sure it passes this:

Authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, and other creative professionals:

The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors; or
The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique; or
The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews; or
The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

What makes Tye's work stand out from any other social blogger? It might be worth going to WP:YTP and having a look there if you think he's a significant YouTuber, they have a list of requests for articles for creation. Shritwod (talk) 13:24, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that he's a foreign blogger in China, which is something of a novelty. It's the same reason why Amy Lyons and David Gulasi were covered in the Australian media. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:43, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment. I do agree with you that there are many biographies which don't meet the necessary requirements. Matthew Tye is sort of in a grey zone at least. He is cited in a number of articles, and aside of being a successful YouTuber, he has also co-starred in the documentaries Conquering Southern China and Conquering Northern China. Personally, i don't think there will be any assistance by posting in Wikipedia:WikiProject YouTube/Articles Needed For Creation; there is not much activity going on there.

Hi - I would like to add that both Winston Sterzel and Matthew Tye are original content creators and fairly notable social commentators who have documented unprecedented footage of life in and around China - both Winston and Matthew had been subject to a campaign to remove their presence from Wikipedia by now defunct Wikipedia users back in 2018. Matthew Tye was previously linked from Winston's wikipedia page as these 2 characters are synonymous with each other and i believe it does the wider Wikipedia community an injustice to not be able to find out some more information about Matthew, as people can do about Winston. I believe there is definitely a fairly good case of reinstating Matthew's page as I was also drawn to lookup Matthew after recently seeing various articles as we have described above as well as their documentary. I had noticed the quite aggressive campaign to remove Winston's page [[2]] and also the same users who at the exact same time also campaigned to remove Matthew's page - this in itself suggest they are both notable considering the amount of discussion they have generated. Based on these criteria I believe that we have a reasonable case to reinstate Matthew's page and also recreate the links from Winston's page to Matthews page as had been there originally as these 2 individuals work as a team on their public activities. Pinging previous Admin on (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew Tye (3rd nomination)) User:Sandstein and Admin for (Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Winston_Sterzel_(2nd_nomination)) User:Oshwah to review the conversation, please review the history of the AfD's for Matthew / Winston as well as the talk and discussion they have generated and I am sure this will show that they have generated enough interest to each have an individual article Infograbber19 (talk) 14:04, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I was not able to contest the speedy deletion nomination in time. I think you missed my comment on the Talk Page. The page wasn’t a repost; I spent days creating it from scratch with many sources. The deletion debate lacked thorough research. There’s significant coverage of the subject, as confirmed in a previous debate [1] years ago. I added all the sources from that debate and more. Reviews of his books and descriptions by respected experts like Andrew Keen and Chris Brogan, all cited in my page, support his notability. My page should be restored and you can nominate it for a deletion debate to determine the current consensus. The first debate had more comments and arguments and resulted in a keep. Even the nominator changed their vote to keep, while the second ended in delete with only two comments. So, is he notable or not? My page and the earlier debate both affirm his notability.
