Speedy deletion nomination of User:Marknutley/The Gore Effect

Hi this is already being dealt with here [[1]] Is there a reason you have put a speedy deletion notice up? --mark nutley (talk) 17:36, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

KINDERDANCE INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Thank you for your response. I can edit the parts and take out the trademarks and I can actually mention Essence and Entrepreneur magazine as sources that have written something about us. May I use these sources? I actually did not write it up, we just submitted it. The information is taken out of published article. Please advise. Thank you.

Speedy Deletion of GalenLogoExplained.png

Ukexpat,

I have reached out to the Galen Institute, who should be sending information allowing me to use their image on my Wikipedia page. Once they send this information and it is received by Wikipedia, how do things proceed? Andrewpsroyal (talk) 21:56, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Premier Asia

Regarding your issues with my article, you state that one problem is notability yet the Hong Kong Legends page (which I did not write or contribute to) has no such issue. I state in my article that Hong Kong Legends and Premier Asia are sister companies owned by Entertainment One (with a reference to prove it). How can one company be notable and the other not when they are both owned overall by the same company and both produce the same product (DVDs) from the same area (Asia)?

You also state that the article may contain improper references to self-published sources. Can you tell me where? (Keeping in mind that I did not write or contribute to the Hong Kong Legends article)

Lastly you request additional references. The two I provided detail the company's history from their ownership under Contender Entertainment Group to present under Entertainment One and a list of the company's releases up to and including 2007 (keeping in mind the company stopped releasing films at the beginning of 2008). You say the references must be significant coverage rather than passing mentions, does a list of titles excluding only the one or two releases in the few months from summer 2007 (when the company was sold) to the beginning of 2008 (when the company ceased) not qualify as significant coverage?

technical problem

Can you help me with a technical problem? The page I did on Francoise de Graffigny has been tagged as needing inline references. I spent much of the day trying to post it with inline references, and kept getting the error message that I had to have a "references/" tag. I did have that tag, but it would not work. Do you have any idea what the problem could have been? I tried it in the sandbox; I tried posting the article in small pieces; nothing worked.--Panpichon (talk) 02:55, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Your pre-review of my draft on Maxwell Anderson

Many thanks for your help. I've looked into double brackets and am on my way to read all the other (slightly unusual to me) editorial markup features! Editing for Wikipedia is definitely going to introduce me to a new world, but it's one I guess I have to understand better if I'm to be useful meeting with senior Wikiupedians on these matters of museum involvement that I think have longterm strategic importance to both communities. If I make further changes to the Anderson article or post it, I'll let you know. David Bearman (talk) 16:18, 9 January 2010 (UTC)David Bearman, January 9 2010

Thanks for the ongoing watch. I'm sure that will prove very helpful as it has been already.

I'll make the Wikipedia markup my weekend project:-) I exercised the new knowledge once this morning by brackleting AMICO and removing the reference, since AMICO was a Wikipedia article already. As always with new environments, its not the intrinsic complexity of the new data language that is a barrier but the fact that it is a different language from the many I usually use.

HOW? Still haven't the answer?

I have asked questions under the title, HOW? and still don't have the answer...First I was told by you my submission didn't fit a User Page....I then asked how I could put it on a page that would be seen by searchers for my name, using the example of the long pages found under Alex Karras, with a link to other people from Gary, IN. I now get an answer from Colin Fine telling me I apparently used the wrong term in calling it a PROFILE... I have explained that I am not familiar with Wiki jargon...I don't know care what it is called, I just want to place it on Wikipedia so people can learn from it...certainly Karras's pages reads more like a PROFILE than mine does....Mine describes a book with all kinds of historic events centered around Gary and NW Indiana, names of important celebrities including four US presidents, and concludes with information about solving one of America's most baffling cold-cases, the murder of three young Chicago girls in the Indiana Dunes....What more historic posting can you look for in an encyclopedia? PLEASE TELL ME EXACTLY HOW TO LIST MY CONTRIBUTION THE SAME AS THAT OF ALEX KARRAS, WITH TO INCLUSION OF MY NAME IN THE ALPHABETICAL LISTING WHICH COMES UP WHEN YOU CLICK THE LINK, OTHER PEOPLE FROM GARY, IN...SO WHEN PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO WAS LOOKING AT KARRAS'S PAGES, THEN CLICKED ON THE LINK FOUND OTHERS FROM GARY THAT I KNEW AND READ THEIR PAGES....I WANT WHEN PEOPLE SEARCH GOOGLE FOR MY NAME, LIKE I DID FOR KARRAS, A LINK COMES UP SENDING THEM TO WIKIPEDIA AND MY PAGE, OR IF LOOKING AT ANOTHER GARY RESIDENT AND AT THE END CLICKS THE LINK TO OTHERS FROM GARY, THEY WILL SEE MY NAME AND CLICK IT ON AND FIND MY CONTRIBUTION....WHATEVER YOU CALL IT...IF IT ISN'T A PROFILE...PLEASE ADVISE HOW TO GET IT ON WIKIPEDIA WITHOUT ALL THE JARGON OF NAMES THAT ONLY WIKIPEDIA USERS KNOW....JUST PLAIN LANGUAGE ON HOW TO GET THIS INCLUDED LIKE THE ALEX KARRAS PAGE...

Disambiguation for Hannah Tompkins

I won't clog up the WP:New contributors' help page with a small point, but hatnotes should not be used on pages that do not require disambiguation – see WP:NAMB (part of WP:Hatnote#Examples of improper use). If you think about it, there's no way a user could search for 'Hannah Tompkins' (as in the wife of Vice President Daniel Tompkins) and arrive at Hannah Tompkins (artist). So although the hatnote at Hannah Tompkins is perfectly proper, the hatnote at Hannah Tompkins (artist) should be removed. It's not a big deal, but we might as well get it right! --RexxS (talk) 02:23, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

use of images?

I was under the impression that the images in Commons are freely available, which is why I was using them in my user space. Were the images I used not from Commons or am I mistaken about what Commons is? Thank you. --Neptunerover (talk) 02:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, now here [[2]] is one that definitely says non-free boldly in various places on it's page. I don't remember noticing that on the others. Although actually, I might have just copied some of those photo links directly from an article page since I was just under the impression that everything on Wikipedia is free and all the pictures come out of commons. I was naive.
So can I ask you (or is there a better place for me to ask) why an advertisement for a movie such as the one I just linked to above is not considered free? They put those all over the place when the movie came out, in magazines, newspapers, and on the posters in the theaters. They put the stuff all over the place for us to look at, but we can't use it? It's not like I would draw a moustache on his face or put him in a dress, which would be defacing an original advertisement, but why can't I put the add out there too? I should think they would like that! They had to pay for that advertisement the first time around, but now they don't want anyone to look at it unless they get paid? That can't be right. --Neptunerover (talk) 08:32, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Jason Smart

Thanks, UKExpat! I appreciate your criticisms, ideas and help in helping me to write this article about Jason Smart. I think that it is a good article, but it could use your expert analysis!

Brenda Jean Patrick

Dear Ukexpat,

Thank you for taking time to review my proposed article about Ms. Patrick.

She has spoken at the school where I am on the foundation board of directors, and we were much impressed with what she did for our school.

Please help me understand how to gain greater neutrality:

Do I need to find negative comments about Ms. Patrick or about the concept of greater customer service in schools?

Are some of the details about her life more than is needed for a Wikipedia article (e.g., her comments from her father)? These comments were made to the graduates at our school for "challenged" students and seemed to strike a chord with them.

Are there other aspects of "neutral" I haven't mentioned?

Thanks again.

Brenda Jean Patrick

Dear Ukexpat,

If you saw the other comments regarding this proposed article, you may have seen the one regarding using more sources (News, books, etc.)

I have followed the suggested links, and I discovered that many of them lead to newspapers in Texas (Dallas Morning News and other smaller papers). The links are there, but in order to view the full content, a reader is charged $2.95 for seeing the full article.

In the world of Wikipedia, is there a way of solving that problem? Would I create the link and let a reader choose whether or not to spend the money?

Right now, this seems like a pretty "sticky wicket" to get around.

Thanks.

Hi Ukexpat Thanks for the welcome. I created a new article and (I think) put out a request for someone more experienced than me to review it and check that it is 'up to scratch'. Do you know how I can check progress on that? --Wickie Bruce (talk) 09:50, 14 January 2010 (UTC) Wickie Bruce

Need help having my article reviewed

Hello,

I need some help having my article reviewed, I followed all necessary steps to add it to the "article review request" page, which it now sits, but no one has yet to review it.

The article is on a producer/director who has done much work for National Geographic.

Can you lend me any advise on how to make this article not say: "This page is a new unreviewed article." at the top?

Any advice would be appreciated!

All the best,

Michio Kaku

Please stop revering the correct information. He is American just for the fact of being born in the USA, but ethnically he is Japanese because both of his parents were 100% Japanese. If one of them was, for instance, Chinese, you could say that he is Chinese-Japanese. And considering that North America is made up of people from all over the world, it has hard to have american ethnicity, unless you are one of the ethnic peoples. Norum 20:03, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion?

I understand that this page is nominated for speedy deletion. However, ImaGem as a company is the ONLY diamond grading lab that can objectively grade diamonds and give numerical measurements for diamond Light Behavior. The chairman and founder of the company created the technology in 1989 and is the first and only to use machines to grade diamonds! This is why I feel this is notable, and the technology has a lot of other uses, such as the clarity mapping machine that can enter the medical industry to assist cancer research. Please give me more time to reorganize, if the whole thing needs to be RE-DONE I am ok with that, but I WILL keep trying until I get it right.

The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 35 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag.

Giulio graglia

You nominaged Giulio graglia for deletion under WP:CSD#A2. This category only covers articles that actually exist in another language's Wiki. If the article doesn't exist on another wiki, then it is not eligible for deletion under this criterion. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:26, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I was coming here to say the same thing - A2 is only for use where the identical article exists on another Wikipedia, and this one is not in :it. (The point of A2, which took me some time to find out, is that a cut and paste from another WP violates the license terms by losing the attribution from all the contributors there - WP:TRANSLATE explains how to bring an article across properly). The thing to do with an article in another language is put {{notenglish}} at the top, or {{notenglish|Italian}} etc if you can identify the language, and follow the links on that template to list it at WP:PNT. Of course it may be obvious, as in this case, that the article is speediable db-person; in that case just tag it as such. If you specify the language in the {{notenglish}} template, it provides a helpful link to Google Translate, whose results are surprisingly good and often enable you to confirm that the article is speediable, in which case add the db tag at the top and don't bother with WP:PNT. There is a useful set of templates at WP:PNT/T which you can use to point the foreign author to his own-language WP - I think many people are unaware that there are any others. Apologies if all this is telling you stuff you already knew. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:12, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Purpose, Credibility and Opinion

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The recent editor (racepacket) states in the "Discussion Section" that if a (black) student wants to become a leader, that he or she should attend an Ivy League school.

The recent editor further discusses alumni of Ivy League schools (Dartmouth, Harvard, Cornell....etc), Ivy League alumni such as Clarence Thomas and other matters related to the actual Ivy League.

None of that discussion is relevant to the group of seven or nine HBCUs who are members of the Black Ivy League, to the history of these school became what is referred to as the Black Ivy League or the term's meaning.

The title of the article is: The Black Ivy League (a term which refers to the nation's premier HBCUs). The article is however, not titled: "Blacks who attended Ivy League schools" or "The Ivy League is making efforts to increase their Minority Enrollment" Or "Obama and Clarence Thomas went to Yale and Harvard."

Instead, the article serves to give historic reference to the "phrase" The Black Ivy League, its meaning and in some manner, identify those institutions which make up the Black Ivies (i.e., Howard, Morehouse, Spelman, ....).

Hence, statements regarding (the efforts made by Cornell to enroll African-American students), are irrelevant for purposes of the subject article.

More pertinent than the recent edits by racepacket, and more relevant to the overall purpose of the subject article is discovering just how theses HBCUs came to be known as the "Black Ivies" or "the Black Harvards." Explaining how they fair in the various collegiate rankings and identifying who "their" prominent alumni are provide more insight into the why this article exists. MuJami (talk) 21:36, 18 January 2010 (UTC)MuJami

With all due respect, the above is not a fair characterization of my position and concerns. I have addressed this in detail on User talk:MuJami, on Talk:Black Ivy League and on SPI. During a recent AfD on Black Ivy League, 25 sources were identified, and in November, I did my best to summarize those sources. I received praise for my efforts. Later John E. Rhea came on the scene and made unsourced additions with WP:BOOSTERISM problems. He alleged racism, and was rebuffed at his ANI. He is now silent and newly registered User:MuJami is taking up his argument. If you want to help mediate a content dispute, that is fine, but I have not seen either Rhea or MuJami address my concerns. Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 22:49, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
OK enough, please take this dispute elsewhere, preferably the talk page of the relevant article. – ukexpat (talk) 22:52, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

first article blues

Hi Ukexpat

Thanks for the comment about my article. I am not sure I published the article correctly and need some guidance.

I know that my article is up but I don't know if that makes it part of Wikipedia and when it will show up in the Wikipedia search tool and Google.

I created it in my userspace and pressed the move button because I thought that was how to post it. But when that did not work I opened up the article wizard and copied and pasted it.

I might also have pressed the upload file button.

Sometime after that my article appeared with a URL that looked like it was up on Wikipedia but I am not sure which one of my actions triggered it appearing.

I am not sure what the next steps are. Is someone going to formally OK the article and will I be contacted?

Thanks for the information,

J.A. MacPhee (talk) 22:55, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi J.A. MacPhee
Pardon my butting in. The article is fully in Wikipedia now. Moving the article out of your user space put it into "article space". It is up, and will be indexed etc.
I recommend that you work on improving the references for the article. While the claims to notability are clear (winning multiple awards), it is not obvious that the subject meets the notability guidelines for inclusion. The sources that you have provided are not independent of the subject. You should seek to find coverage of (not only reference to) the subject in reliable sources that are independent. News stories specifically about the subject would be ideal.
I suspect the subject does meet the inclusion guidelines, but you should nail it down.
Regards, Bongomatic 01:29, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
No problem and excellent advice.

Could I take you up on your kind offer to help me move the article, to go live, in the main directory.

One of the song titles, on line 104, "Sharon, you're a shit", might cause Filter 9 to flag it up as an insult to someone.

Veena Rawat article

Reinclusion for 'Women of the Apocalypse'

Hello there,

You nominated Women of the Apocalypse for deletion (and it was deleted) because it wasn't 'notable'.

It has since garnered another exterior review with Vue Weekly (an online and print publication in Edmonton). The link is here: http://www.vueweekly.com/article.php?id=14134

Would that be enough for me to add Women of the Apocalypse again?

--Luthar28 (talk) 00:37, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Steve Brudniak

Ukexpat--

Thank you for your help.

I've looked at other entries for artists, including those of similar standing to Steve Brudnaiak, such as Houston's The Art Guys, and I'm now wondering if it might be enough to list the publications under the heading "Selected Bibliography." The publications tend to repeat similar points about Brudniak's work, so attributing specific reference footnotes might be overkill.

My hunch is that my first attempt at posting was deemed "promotional" because I relied on many quotes from art reviewers and curators. Trying to hard to establish Brudniak's place in the art world? Hopefully the entry is neutral now.

If the current version looks Wikipedia worthy I'm wondering what is the next step. Best to post it to a review area for further editing? Must confess that I'm feeling a bit lost and klutzy when it comes to navigating around Wikipedia's inner workings.

Thanks again,

You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Many thanks Ukexpat. I've really appreciate your help with the Marcus Cornish article. For the moment, I'm back to wading through lists of typos :) and doing minor tidy ups of articles I come across while I'm doing that. I'm concerned, though, about some of the articles I'm seeing about villages and towns in Pakistan (poor English, and lots of stuff about people of note only within those locations - "my uncle's family have been bakers there for many generations and everyone loves their cakes" - that kind of thing), but I know so little about that topic I wouldn't know where to start, to try and clean those articles up. I've flagged one up on the WikiProject Pakistan discussion page, but that project doesn't look very active at the moment. If you have any recommendations for how best to flag up the need for work to be done on those articles, I'd be grateful. -- DMS (talk) 16:03, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for response...1 more question

Hello, thank you for the feedback on my first article on Tobias Sherman. My object here is to be the FIRST to be the first to "publish" the fact that these 4 Miami Socialites are the next big Celebrity to hit. I know for a fact huge celebrity is starting to surround these key 4 young people. I can validate the fact that they are the who's who of Miami Beach right now and are in talks to collaborate on different projects with different celebrity. Am I just too early out of the gate on this since I can't back up in print why these guys are Miami society?

I would think for example just the fact that Mr. Sherman was able to purchase scores miami with all of the press behind scores NY would make him notable. As far as Mr. Sherman and the others go each has a specialty that makes them attractive to athletes, actors, and musicians. I just want credit for being the first to break the story on them, and hopefully gain future interviews.

I once created an alternate account

Good day to you! Since you welcomed me on this wiki, I'm taking the liberty to ask for your advice.
- Last March I created a different account (KerenOr9) for my computer needed fixing while I was sick and could not handle that ,
- and I was competing in the fr.wiki so I could not wait for too long,
- and to help me I was given a second hand computer with only English and Hebrew which did not allow me to enter my password for Hope (I did not manage to find out how to enter a special sign which is used in French) and I did not know yet that I would be given the opportunity to register a new password -the depth of my ignorance is amazing, it was so simple!-,
- and I did not want to contribute anonymously,
- and I don't want sb else to use the Keren account, so I want to keep it (even if I don't actually use it anymore),
- and indeed I didn't know that using different accounts is ill considered on this wiki -I found that out this week-,
- is the above explanation a bit too obscure? sorry for that, if it's not really clear... I can elaborate if you ask for more lengthy details, my question is: what do I do now to be on the safe side? many thanks in advance, Hope&Act3! (talk) 18:33, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Murder of Brenda Dawn Hirons

Dear Ukexpat I am trying to express my concerns with the article Murder_of_Brenda_Dawn_Hirons. I have struggled to edit part of the article myself (with my very limited understanding of how to work Wikipedia) and the piece has been reverted back within hours/minutes. This could be because of my errors so please can you help. I have these issues with the piece. 'Victim' section. 1. The victims son is named and his year of birth given. This results in this Wikipedia article, his mothers murder, appearing on the first search page if you Google his name. This could cause distress and possibly influence employers, so out of respect and privacy I wish to have these removed .ie. 'Grant, born in 1970'. 2. The victims full maiden name and place of birth appears, this could also create a direct link back to 'still living ' relatives of the victims family , so I wish this information to be removed .ie. 'Born Brenda Dawn James[1] on the 31st January 1938, in the small village of Brotheridge Green of Upton on Severn'. 3. The article appears to include far more personal details than in other Wikipedia murder articles I have read, giving it a sensationalist tone. This amount of detail is upsetting for both 'still living' family members of the victim and also for the 'still living' family of the mistress. These innocent family members have already lived in the shadow of this crime and the distress it caused at the time of the murder and trial. I am trying to bring about these changes in good faith but appologise if I do not understand the official way/or how to ask for delition of atleast the most sensitive information. Thank you for reading my concerns, I hope you are able to help. Malvernwoman (talk) 21:13, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I remember you helped me with my last article, and I was wondering if you might help again. I wrote an article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_B._Wilkins, that I was hoping you might take a look at. I am also, once again, having trouble posting it. Thanks a bunch! And thanks for your help last time around. Pensrulerstape (talk) 05:30, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I certainly would like to be told if anything in the article added by myself which constitutes a conflict of interest. Divorce fairs happen around the world and are a fairly recent phenomenon, and since no one else has added relevant information to Wikipedia, I felt that it was right that I should - as someone who has good knowledge of the area - post information, history etc on this site.

I am avoiding promoting any specific events or websites directly, other than providing links to specific pages that provide useful information. My own 'fair' was featured on Thought For The Day on the Wogan Show last year, which indicates how the events are a genuine resource and not mere 'exhibitions' - and of genuine value to people going through life changes.

If there is anything in the article that should be deleted or amended I would welcome that feedback, and if the article is accessible by others world wide it should develop into a record of a significant trend that is occurring world wide, with more information than that provided by myself. I just wanted to get it started!

deletion?

The article I contributed is NOT an autobiography. And following the rules of wikipedia, would qualify due to notability of the person for publication even if it was. I hope this issue can get sorted out soon wothout removal f the page.

Veena Rawat article

Hi UKExpat

I hope you are well. I need your advice. I definitely do not understand this message. RV - I think it has had too many editors for a speedy, may need to go to Afd. (TW)) (undo)

I had a problem earlier todayn that I am still trying to solve. This message above might be referring to the photo of Veena Rawat that I had been asking for help with deleting in the past few days. The photo has disappeared from Wikimedia Commons, which is good.

However I was trying to find a way to avoid this problem. When I do a Google search and put in Veena Rawat Wikipedia, I get an unexpected result. It is

User:J.A. MacPhee/Veena Rawat (engineer) - Wikipedia, the free ... Dr. Veena Rawat is an engineer and the President of the Communications ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:J.A._MacPhee/Veena_Rawat_(engineer) File:Veena3.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia English: Photo of Veena Rawat. Date. 2009(2009). Source. Own work ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Veena3.jpg More results from en.wikipedia.org »

How can I avoid the file name "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:J.A._MacPhee/Veena_Rawat_(engineer) File:Veena3.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" from coming up? I only want the file name "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veena_Rawat" to come up. That is the file name that comes up when you type Veena Rawat in the Wikipedia search box.

Earlier today I tried to delete the contents of the file en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:J.A._MacPhee/Veena_Rawat_(engineer) File:Veena3.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia but when I navigated to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veena_Rawat, the article has disappeared so I put it back in.

Any advice would be appreciated on how I can avoid the file name en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:J.A._MacPhee/Veena_Rawat_(engineer) File:Veena3.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia from appearing in Google.

Thanks very much for reviewing the page. You will have noticed that Orangemike had been by and given me the heads up on a few bits that I tried to correct, some yes, others perhaps not quit. I appreciate your help and kind words. I have a bit more to do, including a photo of his statue. All the best to you Richard Avery (talk) 20:50, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Phantomsteve's RfA

Hey there, how's it going? I've been admin-coaching User:Phantomsteve for a while, and after a bit of discussion, we've decided now would be an appropriate time to run an RfA. Since you offered to nominate him in November, would you still be interested in including yourself as a co-nom? Cheers, –Juliancolton | Talk 01:48, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Cool, sounds good. I'll start off the page and ping you when it's ready! –Juliancolton | Talk 02:08, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
