Plagiarism
[edit]Oh wow. And I think they are taken fairly seriously as a newspaper. Have you sent them a note explaining how the GFDL works? JoshuaZ 08:08, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- I haven't as of yet! It's more amusing than anything else. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh my. What a lovely collection. Maybe someone should send them a note about GFDL reattribution :) Cheers, and nice job, Daniel Bryant 08:12, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
It is ridiculous but congrats all the same ! The Pathan thing is outrageous. They probably don't even read what they copy-paste. As for plagiarism, this piece was copied from a vandalised version of the World Cup article by an idiot journalist who put it in Financial Express (the real BCCI President was NKP Salve).

- I should drop my dry style of NPOV writing. If I had used hyperbole on Virender Sehwag, they would have plagiarised that too! Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- You could have put the idea of people being "groomed for captaincy" on every Indian player's page, then people would assume that India has no idea who they want for future captaincy. I can't really imagine Pathan as captain (especially when he's dropped). — Nobleeagle [TALK] [C] 07:04, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, as a newbie who wrote that in December 2005, who did not know about OR, etc, I just decided it to be the case as he was the youngest of the guys on an A-grade contract, and nobody else born later than 1981 was even on a contract at that stage. Yuvraj (81) and Kaif (80) were on a B-grade contracts, and even if they became captain they might retire before Pathan does. Apart from that, well I couldn't see Harbhajan ever being captain of any team, not even the most volatile Pakistan team, and aside from that the next youngest guy on an A-grade contract was Laxman, who is ten years older.....Well I guess it'll probably be Karthik once Dravid, Sehwag and Yuvraj are all retired. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. You made some comments (indeed objections!) to Monaco's FAC some time ago. Believe it or not it's still on the list. I think your point about the writing still stands, but I'm not even going to start on that until I've sorted the structure. We disagreed about the validity of having a list of 'notable races', but I've proposed an approach on the talk page which I think might address your concerns anyway. Could you have a look and comment? Cheers. 4u1e 11:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- I really should take another look. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Chacor RfA
[edit]I am currently writing up an RfA for Chacor. Can you check with the other Arbcom members and make absolutely sure that he's authorized to run? Grandmasterka 04:04, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, this will be interesting. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- FYI, recall that he ran once before after his desysopping, and some ArbCom members expressed at that time that there was no prohibition against his doing so. Newyorkbrad 04:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment, if he does run, I suspect a fair number of users will want more details about what precisely caused the desysoping. JoshuaZ 04:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- He was honest enough to give lots of links and diffs in his first RfA, so I don't doubt he'll do that again. – riana_dzasta 04:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Could you please take a look?
[edit]Hi Blnguyen, would you mind taking a look at Steelersfan55 (talk · contribs)? When I first became aware of him he was trying to add content to high school articles. Since then he seems to have headed towards a vandalism only account (although not a very active one), but I just became aware of this now. I saw the latest addition to his user page, which seems to violate WP:NPA and checked his other contribs. Since he hasn't edited in main space in almost a month, I am not sure what harm he is doing now. If he were active more, I would just report him at WP:AIV, but I was not sure what to do in this case and hoped you could take a look or steer me in the right direction if there is somehwere to notify about users like this. Thanks, Ruhrfisch 17:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

- Can't remember reading anything about him getting married. The most recent that I could find from the usual places of gossip is from July 2006 which talks only about "marriage plans". Your favourite site talks about Harby denying the relationship, but it is from Jan 2005, and there are many newer links about their relationship from there and elsewhere.

Oh, I was just about to comment on its FAC about more pics but see that you have already taken care of that. Great Work! now Imma go and support it. Also not really knowledgeable about Sikhism but whats is the thing with hair? I know that they can't cut it but they can't show it either? Because hair is hair; body hair, beard or the hair on your head, right? --Thugchildz 07:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- No cutting of hair, beards, etc, head hair is tied up. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I have already done the usual combing last weekend. Saw the FAC but I usually don't comment on them unless it is to register some concern (last support vote IIRC was in the Ashes FA in May 2005). Only suggestions for improvement (not serious ones, so may be ignored) is that more prominence should be given to the chucking affair and less to the whiskey business which is one of the things media stirred up because they had nothing better to do. Throwing, IMO, should be included within his description of his career because it is one of the first things that you would remember when you think of Harby. Tintin 06:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Re. SCG/GSC, please stick with the authoritive sources like CI (where they are not into gossiping) and Hindu and not minor cricket sites, and sources like rediff and ToI who are more interested in masala stuff. Tintin 08:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

http://www.b5media.com/the-perils-of-design-theft/ That explains some more about it. That is the b5media.com site, where Jeremy Wright, the owner of the company that pays for professional bloggers, writes about dismissing Scott.

Sir, regarding this article which was much vandalised and seems to have stabilised now after the exit of Sarvabhaum, I am concerned about his POV on citation #34. From past experience with Sarvabhaum and Mahawiki I feel this citation may be a fabrication. No historian of repute (Altekar is well known) will make such a sweeping statement given the evidence from so many scholars to the contrary and mention things like "heart of Maharashtra" etc. I hate to remove a citation no matter how flaky it looks and hence this message. ThanksDineshkannambadi 16:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Cheers! The Rambling Man 21:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, thanks again for your comments on the FA nom for Adam Gilchrist. We copied them to the talk page and have responded to each of them individually there. We're pretty close hopefully, so it'd be good if you could cast your eyes over our changes and the most up-to-date article version to see if might be closer to meeting your standards for a featured article. Thanks for your time thusfar, all the best with HS's nom, a great article (not sure about the colours in the MoTM tables, but no-one else is bothered and I'm not going to oppose on that!), currently only a tiny smidge bigger than Gilchrist's! The Rambling Man 22:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Blnguyen. Rambling Man's addressed 9 of your criticisms and I've rebutted the other. (Hope you don't mind!)

Cheers, --Dweller 11:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to bang on about it, but yours is now the only oppose and hopefully all your concerns have been addressed while you were on your brief wiki-break.

Hey, I see you're doing the hack-and-slash on Gilchrist, good on you. We don't have free-to-air either, thank Rupert Murdoch for that, but I have Sky so will be catching as much as I can. I enjoyed some of the tail end sixes yesterday for the Windies, something of a turnaround in form from the friendly against India! The Rambling Man 08:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- Right, I'm just off to bed, hope you manage(d) to catch some of the Scottish slaughter, there's a warning to most of us, e.g. Hogg scoring 40 odd from 15 odd deliveries. Let me know when you're done with Gilchrist - I've added a brief section to link to WCC'07 which will inevitably grow a bit, but it shouldn't preclude the article getting FA. At least, I hope not...!

please do not add statements in Murali's article without citations to back them. Just saying that he was called Chuckalitharan without a link is just plain defamation. The other edits I did were in the interest of making the article error-free and cohesive. Bedi's statement should be given at the beginning of the paragraph.

Richard Walter - Fraudulent Article
[edit]Arbitrator:
Richard Walter seems to have been created with a large amount of false information, perhaps gathered from a phony/ anonymous press release posted at "www.richarddwalter.com". Walters's false testimony was actually confirmed in NY v. Robie Drake. In 2003 and again in 2006 his testimony was determined to be false, misleading and could be presumed perjurious on at least one point (perjury being a very specific type of false testimony) by a fedeal judge.
This is all confirmed in the judge's ruling at: "NY v. Robie Drake" (2006). The acrobat file here was obtained from United States District Court, Western District of New York. Just select judge John Elfvin's rulings for March 2006 re: the Drake case. You'll need to select more than 100 documents per page to see it. Get the drake file.
I editted the many factual inaccurancies in the page with references to the court record online and articles regarding Mr. Walter's false testimony. However an anonymous editor immediately swooped in and removed those edits. I have reverted the page and posted a warning to the anonymous editor. Now Buzzle45 (talk · contribs), an original anonymous creator of this false information page designed to rescue Walters flailing credibility, has stepped in to replace anonymous editor 24.240.17.187 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). I am not certain these are two separate individuals.
At any rate, I expected that whoever created the page would change the edits and that this issue would become something that needed an official look - as there are quite a few dedicated and obsessed people determined to keep the actual substance of this court ruling from being public. It hurts Walter, and it hurts more than a few because of their association with him.
Anonymous editor 24.240.17.187 has removed the Richard Walter page at least six times aleady and has also removed this section from the Talk: Richard Walter page at least six times, since 3/18/07 to prevent me from even having a civil discussion about it with others. Buzzle45 (talk · contribs) has done the same. Not exactly actions that are conducive to resolution, let alone communication. They just don't want the ruling public because of their hero worship (that's assuming that one of the individuals is not actually Richard Walter -this a very distinct possibility).
This informaion is not libelous. It is corrective. It is the posting of a court's ruling using the court's own document. The Wikipedia entry currently states that Walters was exonnerated by the judge in the Drake case. This is not just false, it is beligerantly deceptive at this point.
Note please that I am the only person in this dispute who must testify in court on a regular basis, under oath - and that I am also the only one willing to be identified.
As it stands, the article is full of false and bloated information about Walters that is designed to prop him up despite the court ruling - so that those who use Wikipedia as their primary nfo source (and there are many too many) will be misled. It is a disgrace to the professional community, and it is the furtherance of a weakly crafted fraud.

Richard Walter article - Libel
[edit]Why is Mr. Turvey so relentless in trying to slander Richard Walter?
To accuse someone of perjury is a serious charge. Mr. Turvey makes that claim on his own websites, but that is a matter between Mr. Walter and Mr. Turvey to settle in civil court.
I hold Wikipedia to a higher standard.
In reading the court document, in the final ruling in the Drake case, the judge overturns the appeal.
In his opinion, the judge states that Mr. Walter "may" have committed perjury (which he did not), but he rules that such an issue is a moot point because Mr. Drake does not have the basis for appeal.
Thus, Drake's appeal, and all of its allegations are ruled false.
I welcome you to read the decision on Lexis-Nexis and not Mr. Turvey's version on his websites.
While on Lexis-Nexis, I would also encourage you to read about Mr. Turvey's false statements under oath in Mississippi last year and his previous false statements under oath regarding his employment by the Sitka, Alaska Police Department as a detective. (Mr. Turvey lost in court in his bid to claim that he was employed as a detective in Sitka).
Because Mr. Turvey was not allowed into the AAFS, he has spent his short career creating his own organizations and schools. His organizations are nothing more than him and a few of his former "students" posing as a substitute for the AAFS.
Still, the bitterness of rejection has never been exorcised from his soul. He maintains a website that lists several well-respected forensic pathologists as "frauds" (Mr. Walter is not his only victim).
With all due respect, his situation reminds me of a jealous child in the playground who wants to "take his toys and play on his own".
I suggest that the Richard Walter page remain permanently locked in its pre-March 17th state.
Please disregard Bturvey's threat to "show why wikipedia can't be trusted as a source in my class". He has many more enemies than friends; no one will stand in his defense.
