After my previous cry for help

I have uploaded sccessfully the photo of Laszlo Garai but I am not able to add it to the text "Laszlo Garai". Please, help me--Szalagloria (talk) 00:52, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

{{ | Prof. Laszlo Garai in his office = | = |2002 August = |University of Szeged, Faculty of Economics, the office of the head of department of economic psychology | Gloria Szala = }}--Szalagloria (talk) 03:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

After this question:

Where did you upload it to? Special:Contributions/Szalagloria does not include any image. —teb728 t c 01:41, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

I received the following kind support:

I guess you refer to hu:Kép:Laszlo Garai Hungarian scholar of theoretical, social and economic psychology.jpg in the Hungarian Wikipedia. You cannot display that in the English Wikipedia. You must either upload it to the English Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons (if the license allows it). PrimeHunter (talk) 01:59, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Recently the image in question has been placed to the Hungarian version http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garai_L%C3%A1szl%C3%B3_%28pszichol%C3%B3gus%29 I would like to have the same picture to the English version http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garai_Laszlo as well. Only I have absolutely no idea how to perform this goal.--Szalagloria (talk) 12:31, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The best option might be to look at the image on hu.wikipedia and ask the person that uploaded it to put a copy on en.wikipedia I am unable to see the image currently but you can also save it to your computer and then put it on en.wikipediua yourself. If you are still not sure what to do you can put a request to the talk page of the article and hope that someone will do it for you. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 15:53, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically human basic need

This is a very eccentric title and you have (repeatedly) failed to make the case for the article you're trying to write, having that title. It sounds as if you are trying to describe one person's esoteric definition of basic human needs, but it's not clear in any of the deleted versions. Guy (Help!) 19:25, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, what is this article? I suggest you put anything relevant into Laszlo Garai. Hopefully this page you just created will be deleted. The text of your article is:

According to a hypothesis of Laszlo Garai, a paradoxical need for a needfree activity is specific for humans and basic for their other needs. The structure of the hypothesized need is isomorphic with that of the work considered as a "specifically human basic activity" and defined as that of arranging in one and the same structure ends and means[1]. The hypothesis is based on the activity theory of Alexei Leontiev[2].

Vandalism

Read our definition of vandalism. Admins do not "vandalise" by deleting vague and impenetrable text, it's a normal part of our mechanism for keeping the content of the encyclopaedia in line with our policies. Guy (Help!) 14:13, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

True. But I ignored that JzG was an administrator. What I did know that s/he destroyed what I built up, and s/he did so without giving any explanation. Given that I did present three sufficiently important references (originated from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences) I thought it was simply a mistake committed with good conscience but when I repeated my time consuming job and its product was once more destroyed, still without any explanation then (and only then) decided that it was an act of vandalism. If explanation was given only I have not noticed it, I was mistaken, too.

You've had several explanations, you just choose not to believe them. Guy (Help!) 08:09, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

June 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Laszlo Garai, you may have a conflict of interest.

I am affiliated indeed: I am actually the research manager (practically the head) of a university department that has been created and at the beginning directed by Laszlo Garai. So what. That kind of relations may motivate jealousy as well as veneration. Have I claimed in my article that LG is a scholar of genius? No, I haven't. I claimed only he formulated a theory. Is it wrong? One may check it as I indicated a book when he did so, I maintain. In addition, that book has been publish by an Academic Press. And on top of everythink, that Academy, the Hungarian one 40 years later returned to the Garai's theory in his prestigious central review. So, what is wrong?

 In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.

I did exactly what you are suggesting. Am I wrong if I think that all these principles are effective to both of us?

Thank you. I noticed your user name is an anagram of "Laszlo Garai." See also: hu:Szerkesztővita:Szalagloria#Anagramma. Gyrofrog (talk) 22:51, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is about a really stupid idea of mine. When I joined the university departement of Laszlo Garai there worked already a friend of mine who called my attention to the funny circonstance that my name was almost an anagramma from the professor's name. Then I decided I would change two letters (well, my real name is Széll Glória in the Hungarian manner [since I am Hungarian although I live in France] and, thus, I create a complete anagramma and the name Szála Glória may be for me a pen name. It seemed to me funny but it turned out to be a stupid idea because, given that László Garai (sic!) is a well-known name (in Hungary and in France)and mine is not, some people think it is LG's pen name and not mine.

since I started writing Wikipedia

OK, I give in!

OK, I'm editing the László Garai article to make it more like a Wikipedia page. I need your help:

I have removed "Invited (as a Keldysh grant winner) to the Department of scientific discoveries’ psychology in the Institute for History of Natural Sciences and Technology in the Soviet Academy of Sciences (Moscow, 1969–1970))" for three reasons: I can't find out anything about Keldysh grants; the title "Department of scientific discoveries’ psychology" is bad English and I don't know the real name of the department; and, most important, nothing is said about what he did there. Maybe he worked with someone who was well known? Maybe he studied some particular scientific discovery? Make it interesting!
The article is empty of contacts with other people. Who else has he worked with? You see I fetched in the names of Rom Harré and Fejto Ferenc. You could do that sort of thing better than I can. Some of the people he worked with must already be in Wikipedia. All such links are good.
I have put some English and some Hungarian publications in the bibliography. Don't remove the Hungarian titles -- they are important -- but you could insert [...] English translations of these titles.
To demonstrate his notability one more thing is needed, more important that anything else. You must help me here or the article risks deletion even now. We need real, precise, accurate references to whatever other people have written about Garai's work. If it's praise, OK. If it's controversy or criticism, that's much better! Reviews of his books -- surely the book about Attila Joszef got some reviews? News articles about the departments he founded? Articles that comment on his work, his writings, or his theory of "specifically basic human needs". They must be by other people, not him or people in his department. And you must imagine that you are writing a scientific paper and give true exact references, volume numbers, page numbers, dates, real article titles, real titles of journals or newspapers. If there are links to online texts, even better. Andrew Dalby 12:03, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
