About your (non)participation in the January 2012 SOPA vote
Hi. I am Piotr Konieczny (User:Piotrus), you may know me as an active content creator (see my userpage), but I am also a professional researcher of Wikipedia. Recently I published a paper (downloadable here) on reasons editors participated in Wikipedia's biggest vote to date (January 2012 WP:SOPA). I am now developing a supplementary paper, which analyzes why many editors did not take part in that vote. Which is where you come in :) You are a highly active Wikipedian, and you were active back during the January 2012 discussion/voting for the SOPA, yet you did not chose to participate in said vote. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me why was that so? For your convenience, I prepared a short survey at meta, which should not take more than a minute of your time. I would dearly appreciate you taking this minute; not only as a Wikipedia researcher but as a fellow content creator and concerned member of the community (I believe your answers may help us eventually improve our policies and thus, the project's governance). PS. If you chose to reply here (on your userpage), please WP:ECHO me. Thank you! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:02, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hi User:Piotrus I am just curious to find out why hanyang.academia.edu which you linked above provides information to the likes of Facebook/Google+ about those who clicked it? Ottawahitech (talk) 14:54, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Ottawahitech: That's probably a question better directed to academia.edu. I am just using their free hosting service popular among academics. It's a bit like a LinkedIn service for academics, in case you are not familiar with the website. And of course all of those social networking services are selling all the information they can to everyone (advertisers, etc.). Btw, Ottawahitech, feel free to join in my survey as well, the more responses, the more reliable the final result will be! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:21, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi Tony, any chance you had the time to consider my request? And once again, thank you for all the templates! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:26, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

WP:FOUR query
Hello TonyTheTiger, I thought you might be an expert regarding WP:FOUR, so I would like to ask whether Wrestle Kingdom 9 could potentially qualify. While it's a redirect now, there's already some content written in as a sub-section of a list article. So would it not count as a new article? starship.paint ~ ¡Olé! 06:31, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Starship.paint, I was formerly involved in the project. I have no idea what the current standards are.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:49, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Okay. You're still listed as the first Wikipedia:Four Award#Reviewers though. starship.paint ~ ¡Olé! 10:25, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I don't understand your revert. You say that we should only talk about "shoots with encyclopedic merit". Could you please clarify what you mean by that? To me if a shoot or a fashion show or any work a model does is relayed by several important medias then it is meant to be on their biography. --MirandaKeurr (talk) 23:09, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
- MirandaKeurr, I am not a fashion expert, but it is my opinion that models do shoots all the time and that their article should not necessarily be a chronology of their shoots. If there was a notable photographer or theme to the shoot that is encyclopedic. Can you find an English language WP:RS for this content? If it is important should it be in the public domain in English. I don't know that this story counts as a proper source and I don't see much else in terms of RSs.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:04, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for your answer. There is a theme for the shoot I added, Valentine's Day. Also it's a special one because it is an e-book. About sources, you have Fashion Gone Rogue which is one of the most famous fashion websites, Zeberka a fashion website in Poland, Pure People which is not a good source as it is a French website about celebrities and Lui which is the one I added on the article. You want a source in English but from what I know, sourced are not required to be in english, it can be any language. --MirandaKeurr (talk) 13:36, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
