Cello blues

strange that the search term 'cello blues' links to whatever except the cello blues page I have just created. It links the Freewheeler band to a gay car club.

Is this our knowledge base??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Basvossen (talk • contribs) 03:09, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

There is no Cello blues page, so I removed the See also link, that section is only for existing articles, not redlinks. – ukexpat (talk) 19:10, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

A different subject

I'm glad we stumbled over one another. Besides doing hangon patrolling, I'm a Third Opinion Wikipedian and there's a request for a Third Opinion pending at the Third Opinion Project page that you might, as an (ex?) subject of Her Majesty, have an insight about. If you wouldn't mind, you might take a look at the dispute at Talk:Ellie_Goulding#Council_housing and jump in if you have an opinion about the question. Best regards, TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 19:49, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I'll take a look. I am still a loyal subject, and have no intention of becoming a US citizen despite having lived here for 16 years. In fact I think I was one of the last holders of a proper blue British passport, that finally expired in 2000! – ukexpat (talk) 20:02, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, and welcome to the Third Opinion Project. (I've given you credit there for your opinion.) But just for my own curiosity: Would you, yourself, see a likely different reaction between the way an average American would react to a prominent person having been born and raised in a housing project than the way an average Briton would react to a prominent person having been born and raised in a council estate? (Warning: Long and boring explanation of why I'm curious follows:) Due to going to law school and getting a career established, I pretty much missed most of the musical trends which occurred between 1975 and somewhere in the mid-1990s. My teen-aged son later introduced me to punk (and from there I progressed on to, and developed for the first time in my mid-50s, a love for heavy metal, but that's a different story for another time). Though I prefer metal, there's a lot of punk and punk subgenres that I enjoy, too. One which I particularly like (and the only one I play regularly) is Oi!. My interest in that led to my researching (guess where) the culture from which Oi! developed, and that into things that I remember being mentioned in my youth such as Teddy Boys, Mods and Rockers, and the like. Reading about them led me to reading a couple of papers about youth violence in Britain and all of that seemed to support the idea that the UK has much more class-consciousness, in a way that affects one's choices and one's way of life, than does the US. Which is not to say that we don't have our own similar issues, though ours — I think — to turn more around race and less around class. Am I wrong about the degree to which class-consciousness is a significant issue in the UK? You're in a particular position to know. Best regards, TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 21:10, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Interesting question! I think class consciousness is still an issue in UK, though not as great as it was, say, when my father (now 80) was growing up. Both my parents are from very working class backgrounds - for example although my father attended a well known grammar school in the city where he grew up, there was no prospect of him going to university. (Indeed I was the first of the immediate family cousins to go to university and on to one of the "old" professions, thanks in no small part to my parents' desire that I have the opportunities that they did not.) Since my father's day, the increase in programmes to promote such opportunities, such as university and some post-grad grants (paying for fees and a percentage of living expenses) have "levelled the playing field" and certainly increased the size of the middle class, as have social programmes to improve the lot of the old working class (eg the National Health Service, for all its faults). As members of that middle class have succeeded in business and politics (people such as Alan Sugar, Richard Branson, Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher etc), the influence of the old "ruling class" has, rightly, waned. But having said all that, there is still in some circles an innate snootiness (probably borne out of jealousy) about the success of members of the working class, such as pop stars, football (soccer) players with multimillion pound, multiyear contracts, businessmen and women like Alan Sugar and Mary Portas. I could go on but I think you get the idea. – ukexpat (talk) 22:07, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you...

Hi Ukexpat... I've been enjoying Wikipedia for years but only recently discovered how to post new articles to it and, at the same time found myself fortunate enough to gather some useful information worthy of posting - see w:Cloak of Conscience, for instance. I have tried to keep within the standards of Wikipedians in creating and editing this article, and it has not always been easy (perhaps it shouldn't be), even though I am an academic with a masters degree to my name. So, if I can get through the haze of reference and citations and syntaxes needed to satisfy Wikipedia I now truly believe anyone can... :)

THANK YOU so much for all you to do to moderate, mediate and temper the content which is clearly exposed to so many millions of people every day. It is valuable work, as I'm sure you know.

Anyway, the purpose of this appreciation to you comes in hope that you might also know how to, or know someone who can, help me have a recent article I published translated. It is one which in English is valuable, but if it were in French, Italian, Spanish and German too, would be GOLD. Yes, it has true International appeal, and is sure to be searched for very soon by users of those languages.

I have tried navigating the Babylon section, and thought I was doing the right thing after posting a translation template into a user page there but it has come to no avail. Probably because I did the wrong thing. I'm sorry. I am trying, but I do find it difficult to master the protocol of Wikipedia, even though I realise and quite understand why it should be as tight as it is.

If there's anything you can do to guide me on getting the w:Cloak of Conscience translated into those four languages, I would be very grateful - and so (dare I say it) might be the world...! If on the other hand you think its not an article worthy of translation, I will understand entirely, but will be curious to know why (and will therefore beg a reason...)

Thank you Surrealist lover (talk) 22:51, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Harry Whitney

Thank you for your help on the "Harry Whitney" page--my first WP effort. Now that I have posted the article officially on Wikipedia, should I delete the draft? It is confusing having two versions.

Wildcatman99 (talk) 12:56, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

No problem, it looks very good by any standard! In fact, I am going to nominate it for a DYK spot on the main page. You can request that the draft version be deleted by adding {{db-user}} at the top. An admin will then come along and delete it. – ukexpat (talk) 14:44, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

It seems that something had changed about the way the API responds to the script's requests, but luckily it wasn't fatal. The script should be working again now; bypass your cache to see the changes.

amended page

I have amended a page (which you commented on) last year which I think now is ok. not sure how to make it go "Live". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Coverlifestudios/photoproductions Thanks, Coverlifestudios (talk) 06:43, 4 March 2011 (UTC).

To make it "live", you must move it to the mainspace. At the moment however, the sources do not IMHO adequately demonstrate that the company is notable per WP:CORP. You should also consider changing your username as it would appear to be in breach of the user name policy. – ukexpat (talk) 13:57, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Lennox Lewis

Hi thanks for your input though i would prefer more elaboration on your views. Can you at least see how inconsistent his identity is dealt with in comparison to South American footballers? Its just absurd when he self-identifies as British to label him Canadian. I agree there's a source that states he has dual passports, but as with footballers that doesn't alter how his national identity should be dealt with; or if it does we can and should alter the articles of other sportsmen/women. RegardsZaq12wsx (talk) 09:18, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

I expressed my view in an attempt to cut through the b/s and reach a solution. I am not going to justify it further. Just as an aside, you won't find a more patriotic Brit than me, but sometimes these disputes get way out proportion. – ukexpat (talk) 13:53, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks.

Thanks for your promptness moving the Bathysphere article. The talk page for that article doesn't get much activity, so I was concerned this was going to be one of those move requests which ends up sitting there for a week or longer, and it's nice that you got to it after only around a day. --Captain Occam (talk) 14:18, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Actually it was moved by User:Anthony Appleyard, I just dealt with the talk page clean up. When you add the "requested move" template to a talk page, the request is automagically listed at WP:Requested moves. I watch that page and help out with moves that do not require admin intervention. – ukexpat (talk) 14:57, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
Oh, thanks for telling me that; I hadn't noticed it was moved by someone other than who closed the talk page discussion. I guess I should post a thank-you message for Anthony Appleyard also. --Captain Occam (talk) 15:02, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

re george eastman, who is credited in wiki bio as being the inventor of roll film. This honour belongs to (according to wiki under "roll film") peter hansen of Wisconsin, who invented the format in 1881 and had his younger brother to patent it.

USM

Hello,

We do not have a conflict of interest. We are a media/SEO company that was hired by USM in order to complete their Wiki entry. It's simply being updated.

Can we go about editing the entry now?

Thanks, Erin Mhulnick (talk) 18:59, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Since "Erin" is clearly not Dr. M. Hulnick, I've blocked this username as a blatant impersonation of a living person. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:09, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
You have been paid to edit Wikipedia, you could not have a bigger and more obvious conflict of interest. Please read WP:COI again, particularly this bit: A Wikipedia conflict of interest (COI) is an incompatibility between the aim of Wikipedia, which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia, and the aims of an individual editor. COI editing involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote your own interests or those of other individuals, companies, or groups.
So, no please don't. Use the article's talk page to suggest changes. – ukexpat (talk) 19:12, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

How do we go to the talk page? Where is that? I noticed it said (or you said?) that we can not link to the entry (USM) own website (was under the impression we could). Should those be taken out? Please clarify.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mhulnick (talk • contribs)

For the talk page, see above. Not sure what your second question is referring to. You can cite USM's website (using a properly formatted reference) to confirm basic factual information. But in order to verify notability you must cite references to reliable, third party, sources. – ukexpat (talk) 19:37, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
A little confused by the 'talk' page. What areas need to be revised or taken out? What sections would be considered problematic? Thanks..Mhulnick (talk) 19:40, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Okay, so one can cite USM's website (using a properly formatted reference), but one shouldn't *link* to the website within the entry? Is that correct? Mhulnick (talk) 19:42, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
You are the one(s) seeking to make changes to the article, so use the talk page to discuss the changes that you want to make and why, and cite references in support.(all of your previous edits have been reverted). A citation to the website would include a link to it, so that's OK, but you cannot rely on the website as the sole source to demonstrate USM's notability, that requires third party sources. – ukexpat (talk) 19:49, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Quintessentially

In reference to the Quintessentially Group article. After the, accidental, trouble caused by my additions relating to this company, I have added a list of links to the article's talk page, which I believe help to demonstrate the company's notability. I have also brought attention to this on the article's deletion page. There is additional coverage out there which I am looking through now and will add to the list in due course. I hope this is helpful. Prdharmer (talk) 12:27, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Looks like the Afd will end in a "keep" so best to let it run its course. Note however that press stuff about the founders and how well connected they are is not really relevant to a discussion about the notability of the company. – ukexpat (talk) 15:30, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Fair point, I suppose my reasoning was that to some extent the notability of its founders contributed to a company's notability. A company launched by someone already notable is often treated as more notable than a comparable company started by an unknown. I have been letting it run its course, just thought bringing forward a list of press coverage could do no harm. Prdharmer (talk) 07:30, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

BLP, ethnicity, gender

Wikipedia talk:Biographies of living persons#Include "ethnicity, gender," to match all other guidelines

Some say source requirements for ethnicity and gender of WP:EGRS don't apply to WP:BLP living persons, simply because the two words aren't in the policy. (Apparently, they think it should only apply to dead people.) I see that you have participated on this topic at the Village Pump.

They also are trying to remove the notability, relevance, and self-identification criteria at WT:EGRS, but that's another fight for another day, I'm simply too busy to watch two fronts at the same time.

We're on the 6th day. Traditionally, these polls go for 7; unless there's no obvious consensus, when we go for an additional 7 days.

Is that right? --Mcanul (talk) 18:22, 24 March 2011 (UTC) Maria Canul

Yes, basically. Use the wizard but select the option to create the article as a user subpage draft. When it's done, head over to WP:Requests for feedback and ask for the draft to be reviewed, making sure that you declare your COI. – ukexpat (talk) 18:26, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Don't disclose your COI in the draft itself, you can do that on your user page, the talk page of the draft when it is created or in the request for review at WP:FEED.

One more question. I am confused about what to put for references. We have had speakers in the past that have been prominent enough to add to our page, but the only references I have to show that they spoke is on our website. That's the only place it was advertised because we did not allow media until just recently. So, do I link to our pages, or do I link to the speakers' pages, because the speakers themselves can provide a reference. --Mcanul (talk) 17:30, 25 March 2011 (UTC)mcanul

If all you have is a reference to the organisation's website, that will have to do. But, those references don't do much to establish notability, which is the article's biggest problem at the moment. You need to find and cite significant coverage in reliable sources for that. So I would concentrate more on that aspect at the moment. And please add new questions etc to this section of my talk page, rather than at the bottom, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks. – ukexpat (talk) 17:43, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

New Pages and New Users

I've recently been doing some thinking (and a great deal of consultation with Philippe and James at the WMF's community department) on how to keep new users around and participating, particularly in light of Sue's March update. One of the things we'd like to test is whether the reception they get when they make their first article is key. In a lot of cases, people don't stay around; their article is deleted and that's that. By the time any contact is made, in other words, it's often too late.

What we're thinking of doing is running a project to gather data on if this occurs, how often it occurs, and so on, and in the mean time try to save as many pages (and new contributors) as possible. Basically, involved users would go through the deletion logs and through Special:NewPages looking for new articles which are at risk of being deleted, but could have something made of them - in other words, non-notable pages that are potentially notable, or spammy pages that could be rewritten in more neutral language. This would be entirely based on the judgment of the user reviewing pages - no finnicky CSD standards. These pages would be incubated instead of deleted, and the creator contacted and shepherded through how to turn the article into something useful. If they respond and it goes well, we have a decent article and maybe a new long-term editor. If they don't respond, the draft can be deleted after a certain period of time.

I know this isn't necessarily your standard fare, but with your help page and new pages work I thought it might be up your alley. If you're interested, read Wikipedia:Wiki Guides/New pages, sign up and get involved; questions can be dropped on the talkpage or directed at me. Thanks, Ironholds (talk) 21:00, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Deletion Dispute

RE: below is a help question from me that you replied to:

The Question: "I moved my page from my user space to Ayurveda (Band) in an attempt to the launch the page. In return, I now have this message at the top of the page: This page is a new unreviewed article. This template should be removed once the page has been reviewed by someone other than its creator; if necessary the page should be appropriately tagged for cleanup. If you are the article's creator, you can seek feedback on your new article. (July 2010)

Will the "review" happen automatically by WikiReviewers or do I have to take some other action. I am most anxious to get this page launched. Thank you. Whysosirius (talk) 19:53, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Your Answer: The article has been deleted as unambiguous advertising so it is a moot point, but in any event the best thing to do is ask at WP:Requests for feedback. – ukexpat (talk) 20:10, 25 March 2011 (UTC)"

I would like to dispute your decision to delete the Ayurveda (band) page as "unambiguous advertising". I dispute it for many reasons and in no particular order. 1. The information provides a different meaning to the pre-existing Wikipedia page on Ayurveda which has to do with Ayurvedic medicine. 2. I looked at similiar musician Wiki pages such as that for St. Vincent and I see a correlation between the two. Both bamds play at common venues and therefore can be considered peers. Why one and not the other? 3. Ayurveda has a legend of followers for exammple, over 15,000 fans on Reverbnation. Clearly there is an interest in knowing more about the band, its history, and its catalog of music/videos. 4. There is a multi-cultural aspect to info on Ayurveda as 2 of its members are Nepali and there are thousands of fans from there. 5. Ayurveda's latest work "H. luminous" is of interest in that it is a concept piece that plays off an existing Wikipage, 2012. The piece, "H. lumionous" is a work of art that espouses beliefs contained in the 2012 page that this period is "spiritually transformative"...and centers "upon various interpretations of the Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar." 5. Ayurveda is also relevant in that they are a group of young men who are committed to the environment and global issues. From silkscreenting their own merchandise and T-shirs to being active in social issues, this page sets them apart from many other bands that are featured in Wikipedia. They are committed locally and globally and the telling of their story isn't about marketing but informing. Taken as a whole, I cannot accept that this page represents a marketing and I am committed to getting your decision to delete the page overturned. Please let me know a point of contact within Wikipedia that I can argue the case for making this page available to online users. Tnank you in advance for your assistance. 12:12, 26 March 2011 (UTC) Whysosirius (talk) 12:12, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. You need to read my reply more carefully. I said the article has been deleted not I deleted the article. I am not an admin, I cannot delete articles, so you need to take this up with the deleting admin, in this case User:Orangemike. – ukexpat (talk) 00:34, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Apologies...

You're absolutely right, I missed that. In my defense, it wasn't easy to determine who exactly deleted the page. I'm trying to dispute the deletion, if you have any helpful hints as to how I can best do that, please share. Whysosirius (talk) 17:10, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Editing Chandler School

I thought I had kept the additions neutral in tone and loyal to the facts. I'm not interested in the page being a full-on advertisement, but Chandler is not known for its athletics, it's known for its academics. So the page isn't a good representation of the school or its reputation. Since I am not allowed to fix that, how can we fix it?

Tomchandler1950 (talk) 20:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

No, you just copied and pasted copyright material from the school's website. If you want to discuss changes to the article please used the article's talk page. – ukexpat (talk) 20:37, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Tarkett Head Office Image

Hello, the image you have tagged is a free image without any copyright issues. It belongs to the Tarkett Group in France and is made available for public usage on their online media library, to which I subscribed and to which I have unlimited access. All images on that media library can be used freely and without limitations. It is however possible that I have labeled the image incorrectly. I have been struggling with this for quite some time and can't figure out which tag to chose in the scroll down menu on the "upload" page. If already asked for advise on this issue, but have been helped so far. Could you advise? Many thanks, BBPMB (talk) 14:08, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

The problem was not with the way that you tagged it, but rather that there was no indication on the company's website of the terms under which the image was released. If you have evidence of the terms of the release, please communicate them to OTRS as described at WP:IOWN. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 14:16, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks loads for your quick response. I'll try my best. Find the upload rules quite confusing though for someone like me who's just starting on Wikipedia. All the best, BBPMB (talk) 14:20, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
You uploaded it just fine, the terms of the release are the key missing data. – ukexpat (talk) 14:23, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Publishing to main site?

Ukexpat-

When I search for the page I created (Steven Bryant) it doesn't appear on Wikipedia's main site? How can I get my article published? I'm very new to wiki and find it difficult to understand! Thanks!

--Sarahjmeals (talk) 15:17, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Your article is still in draft form in your userspace at User:Sarahjmeals/StevenBryant. As I mentioned in response to your move request, the subject probably meets the guidelines at WP:CREATIVE but the draft does not cite a single reliable source to demonstrate that notability. Without sources the article will quickly be proposed for deletion per WP:BLPPROD if moved to the mainspace. Please let me know if you need help citing sources. – ukexpat (talk) 15:45, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

"COI" edits

Thank you for your post. Please note that David James and I were not in touch until after I created his page and he has little to no interest in it; he does not pay me to maintain it either. I try to keep all pages for all clients neutral, even those with whom I'm friendly on a personal basis (his is not the only page I've created and watch). I have removed promotional information from client pages that is not appropriate, and have left in less-than-flattering information, including on David's page (poor reviews for a movie role), for the sake of neutrality. I realize that my posts and pages are more wordy than most, but I chalk this up to being a writer by trade rather than to being promotional for clients (i.e., "While his was only a supporting role, it did still garner the attention of critics..." versus "Here's what one newspaper said..."). If there is something in particular that concerns you on any of my contributions, please don't hesitate to note on my talk page as I'm more than happy to discuss. P.S. I'm also aware of how to sign posts, I just keep forgetting! Bobbyandbeans (talk) 19:45, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

NK Maribor Peer Review help

Hello. I am working on the article about Slovenian football club NK Maribor and have made recent efforts in preparing the article for GA nomination process, which would, if approved, become the first Slovenian article, related to football, that would have been graded as GA. In addition, WikiProject Slovenia has only three GA articles (+1 FA) out of over 10,000 Wiki articles (the ultimate goal for this article is to become FA in the future, but lets take one step at a time:). The Peer Review of the article is allready in progress and I have been helped by one of the Wiki users (Ruhrfisch) in adjusting the article to meet the GA criteria. He did, however, expressed his concerns that the "language in the article is not as cleaned up as it could be". The problem is, however, that I am not from an English speaking World and English is not my first language. Therefore, I am pretty sure that I have streched my limits regarding what is written in the article and dont really know how to improve it further. Because of that he has suggested to me that I could ask someone for a copyedit and I have found your name in WP:PR/V list. I saw that you are a fan of football, so it probably cant hurt in asking you for help:). Thank you, Ratipok (talk) 19:36, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Notability tag

Expat, I saw your comment on my notability comment in the help section. I am just not sure what more I can source to make this scholar more notable. I have seen less in other scholarly pages and there is no notability tag? I am not judging your expertise by any means, but simply pointing out what I have seen. I am very interested in his work, especially around cymatics, and I have used some of his work (particularly the guidance in the book he contributed to, and his work on readers) in some of my studies. I believe he is a good scholar, and in my view, his work deserves a mention. Your help will be needed here (if possible), or else the page must simply be deleted, seeing as I can add no more at this time. Thanks for your help though.

Infrasupra (talk) 19:20, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Don't focus on other articles, we judge each article on its own merits. I can understand your frustration, but some subjects/people are not (yet) notable enough to meet Wikipedia's criteria. However in this case, I don't see a need to rush to deletion just yet. There is no reason why the article cannot stay as it is with the notability tag in place. Other editors may take a look and be able to help work on it. – ukexpat (talk) 19:31, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for the advice. I will leave it as is, and see what happens. Take care. Infrasupra (talk) 03:36, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

For continued excellence helping new editors and the project Jalexander--WMF 21:47, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

I saw all the great work you've been doing and wanted to drop by to 1. Say thank you and 2. see if you were interested in helping out on the WikiGuides project that we're running. The nutshell idea is that we are actively reaching out and helping new users soon after they edit (and gathering information about it so that we can see what works and what doesn't). We've moved into a new phase recently where instead of everyone getting a random list of users individually to try and help each guide joins a team that shares a list (that I add new users too every day or so) with a total understanding that not everyone can be active every day or for the same amount of time. We've also switched to specifically reaching out to users who need help and are doing good work (rather then everyone) and are looking at more ways using tools or just ideas to make it easier and more effective.

If you're interested I'd love to talk to you more but regardless thank you for all your hard work! Jalexander--WMF 21:47, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Ixigo.com

Hello Ukexpat, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Ixigo.com, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Logan Talk Contributions 20:50, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

No, you declined it. I fully understand the criteria, so please no more patronising template messages. – ukexpat (talk) 00:44, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
