[edit] Mitch Epstein bio

Hi Bridgeplayer!

You have proposed deletion for the bio of photographer Maggie Taylor‎. While I understand that this article may be an imperfect stub, and Maggie Taylor's significance in the photography field may be challenged, I can attest to the fact that this was not a self-promotional entry, and I urge you to reconsider your deletion decision.

In fact, this biographical stub (as well as new stubs on photographers Katharina Sieverding‎, Mitch epstein, Nicolas Tikhomiroff, and Micha Bar-Am‎) were written by 16-year-old high school students studying photography, with the hope that their stub may eventually become the germ of a solid biographical article with the help of other Wiki users. (I am their photography teacher, and admittedly a Wikipedia novice myself.) The students were asked to choose a photographer whose career, contributions to the field, and body of work reflect someone worthy of a Wikipedia entry. They did their best; however I am asking them to take your challenge seriously and rewrite the stub to better establish the significance of their subject. I just fear their work will be deleted before they can do so. Thanks for your consideration! Any advice welcome! Cbaer 13:18, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry for the delay in replying but I have been away for a few days. What is needed in all these case are substantive independent sources attesting to notability. Examples are critical reviews in notable publications, meaningful awards, major exhibitions to which the photographer has been invited to exhibit etc. HTH Bridgeplayer 23:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Red House Yacht Club

That's way out of line for you to be nominating an article for deletion and then deleting references and text based on your subjective interpretations of the WP Guidelines. I have reverted your deletion. You may be right about the quality of the references, but this should be discussed. I'm sure that you are working with the best of intent, but as the nominator I see implied bias toward the article. --Kevin Murray 18:51, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Not at all out of line. I cleaned up a terrible article (which you should have done if you want it kept} and deleted trivial references that failed WP:EL. Bridgeplayer 22:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
  • It seems that you should withdraw the nomination if you believe that this can become a valid article through your hard efforts. Until then I can't respect your efforts as other than biased in support of your AfD nomination --Kevin Murray 22:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Please consider this a warning that removing large blocks of text and references woithout consensus during this AfD will be reported as vandalism. I'm willing to work with you, but unilateral modifications by an AfD nominator are a strange practice, which make me question your intent. Please discuss with me or other interested parties to the discussion. Thanks you. --Kevin Murray 22:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Since we seem to be in very differnt corners of this discussion, I've asked an admin to look at the situation, so that we can avoid any hard feelings. Please accept my appology if I have offended you, and misperceived your motivations. Sincerely. --Kevin Murray 23:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Post AfD editing

Re: Your comments at RYC talk and my talk page.

  • A problem with headings is that they can be overly restrictive. For example, you now have information of swimming, berthing etc. under a header sailing. To add another category would make the article choppy.
  • Chronology is desirable, but in some cases the relationship among the topics might be more important. Some of the history section could be more relevant to the information about the club's sailing program (e.g., national regattas). It's a fine line with no right answer.
  • To me telling us where the club is located is less important than the reason for notability. So I would prefer reordering the sentences in the introductory paragraph, but this is subjective. Removing the word “notability” is good, but it seems to help during the AfD when editors are doing drive-by voting.
  • I think that a reader with limited knowledge of sail boats would benefit from a description of why Lasers have dominated. I agree with the prior text as being a bit over the top, but I didn't feel strongly enough to remove another editors contribution. As the Laser is a class in the Olympics, there might be some way to tie that in, but I was reluctant to get too far off point.
  • You removed the statement about the diverse nature of the past fleets. It's not a huge loss, but it sure wasn't unsupportable. That comment allowed the removal of a large list of craft, without losing the flavor of the diversity.
  • Knowing of the sensitivity to your past involvement in deleting references and text during an AfD which you proposed, coming here to make large changes without prior discussion seems ill advised. I'll assume good faith that your intentions are for a better WP, but your comments seem to belie a sense of superiority about your POV of how an article should be structured. Guidelines are suggestions; there are many forms of style in use at WP.
  • If you feel that I have been unfairly harsh in my description of you actions, please feel free to seek the intervention you suggested at my talk page-- perhaps we might both learn something. However, as it stands I perceive your actions throughout this process to be at minimum unconventional. Yes, you can support individual actions out of context with the rest, but taken as a whole there seems to be an agenda here.

--Kevin Murray 18:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

Please be careful about what you label POV. See WP:NPOV, SqueakBox 03:48, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

"He is well known to the UK puiblic" (sic) is opinion - please stick to sourced contributions and don't be so touchy. Bridgeplayer 03:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
You just reworded the sentiment anyway. Please just take care to help make this a nice atmosphere for others, wanting that isnt touchy, SqueakBox 04:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
OK, sorry, its been a long day! I reworded it with two sources which is, I suggest, a significant difference! Bridgeplayer 04:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh you did a good job with the refs, SqueakBox 17:27, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] H5N1

2007 Bernard Matthews H5N1 outbreak makes me think of Template:Bird flu around the world and Bird flu in India. WAS 4.250 04:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks; now added. Bridgeplayer 16:01, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome. I deleted your addition to the 2006 section of Global spread of H5N1 because the event is already in Global spread of H5N1 in 2006 which is the main article for that section. If the 2007 section gets too big we'll branch it off also, leaving a summary. Note that the article is about the spread of H5N1. Details not concerned with "spread" or "Asian-lineage HPAI H5N1" don't really go in this article. We have a whole series of articles on H5N1 and more are being created, so any data you see fit to go in Wikipedia will undoubtedly be able to find a home somewhere. Thank you for helping with the H5N1 series of articles. WAS 4.250 18:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
No problem - thanks for explaining it. Bridgeplayer 18:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure if it is a good idea to burden you with unwanted information or not but in case you care ... the "Template:Bird flu around the world" template is not up to date (ie it is inaccurate).

"Tens of millions of birds have died of H5N1 influenza and hundreds of millions of birds have been slaughtered and disposed of to limit the spread of H5N1. Countries that have reported one or more major highly pathogenic H5N1 outbreaks in birds (causing at least thousands but in some cases millions of dead birds) are (in order of first outbreak occurrence): Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Turkey, Romania, Croatia, Ukraine, Cyprus, Iraq, Nigeria, Egypt, India, France, Niger, Bosnia, Azerbaijan, Albania, Cameroon, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Israel, Pakistan, Jordan, Burkina Faso, Germany, Sudan, Ivory Coast, Djibouti, Hungary, United Kingdom."
"Highly pathogenic H5N1 has been found in birds in the wild in numerous other countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Iran, Italy, Kuwait, Poland, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland."

(from Global spread of H5N1) is accurate and up to date (I keep it that way). Other people keep other parts up to date but "Template:Bird flu around the world" is an orphan. Care to adopt an orphan? WAS 4.250 02:14, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Concerning this edit: That was not a broken link. It was a replacement within a quote. The source says "The European Commission has confirmed the presence of the virus in a farm in the southeastern Hungary" and "the virus" was replaced by [H5N1]. Brackets are used within a quote to indicate something not being quoted. Since the sentence is simple and plain with no creativity, there is no copyright-ability and the quotes could be removed or the brackets restored. I can't decide which is better. What do you think? WAS 4.250 08:15, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree that it can go either way so I have restored your version - cheers! Bridgeplayer 15:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WPCB

I'm guessing from your handle that you are a bridge player. As such, you might be interested in participating in the (somewhat limited, alas) activities of the bridge wikiproject. Matchups 02:19, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you - I'll take a look at it. Bridgeplayer 02:21, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review request

I see you are trying to file a peer review request. You need to follow all four steps under "Nomination procedure" on Wikipedia:Peer review. --Ideogram 04:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration

I have initiated a Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#Nearly Headless Nick disregarding consensus and consensus-related policies, a matter in which I believe you to have been involved in the case history of. Your commentary may be appreciated. Balancer 13:50, 17 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Your GA nomination of 2007 Bernard Matthews H5N1 outbreak

The article 2007 Bernard Matthews H5N1 outbreak you nominated as a good article has passed , see Talk:2007 Bernard Matthews H5N1 outbreak for eventual comments about the article. Good luck in future nominations. Themcman1 15:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks for this. Bridgeplayer 20:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, good job on rooting out that sock nest. Here's hoping it's the last of them. Seraphimblade Talk to me 09:29, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Joe Peacock

Heya. Saw your afd nomination for Joe Peacock. I was kinda expecting it, so don't worry, I ain't angry ;-) I think the writer in question is notable, since he is signed a contract with Penguin Books. He is also previously published (albeit with his own publishing company). Creative Loafing published an interview with him, which I think really does make him notable. In 2002, when this article was deleted originally, he wasn't quite notable enough for Wikipedia, but since then, his rise in fame definitely warrants a WP article. What dya reckon? Talk to you soon, -GilbertoSilvaFan 16:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

What I am looking for are better secondary references attesting to his notability. Having said that, I am sure that editors, more knowledgeable than I, will have a view on him so lets see how the discussion develops. Bridgeplayer 17:20, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New socks

Nice catch on that last one. I'll have to add that article to my watchlist too. --Onorem 18:48, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Socks

Don't be sorry, glad you're catching them! Let me know if you find more, if this keeps up I'll put up an abuse report and you can just report to WP:AIV and point to that. The checkusers will hit the proxies too (and don't bug them about it too much, they're generally not allowed to comment on IP addresses, so they probably won't say they did that), but there's a lot of open proxies out there. Seraphimblade Talk to me 23:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Global Pastors Network

Hi Bridgeplayer. You flagged an article I was starting on the Global Pastors Network for speedy deletion. When you flagged it, it was deletion-worthy, but since then I've improved the article greatly, and while it is not "complete" by any means, I hope you'll be willing to remove your tag or let me know what I should do from here. Thanks a bunch! Nswinton 17:06, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, I have shifted the 'speedy' tag. However, if it is to survive an AfD then it needs the addition of reliable, independent sources attesting to the significance of the organisation - see WP:CITE. Bridgeplayer 22:39, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I'll get on that. Thanks a bunch! :) Nswinton 23:35, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I put in a bit of effort on the article and with your approval it should be stub-worthy. The Time Magazine mention helps support notability and I wikified including an infobox. Come take a look please. ClaudeReigns 01:37, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Well done; I agree that it now meets notability criteria. BTW there are some inline references that could do with converting to footer references for consistency. More importantly we need to decide what to do about Notable members and leaders and Notable sponsors. Apart from the CEO the other members are only considered notable in a WP context if they have their own article. On the sponsors, unless there is independent confirmation eg on their website rather than the GPN website, I think that section should come out. Thanks for all your hard work. Bridgeplayer 03:41, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the tips. The article really doesnt matter, I was just trying to expand it a little bit because I like the band. It's no big deal, I'll just make a talk page for it. Thanks again, Marshmellow Mind 01:40, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Some Help?

Hi Bridgeplayer,

Thanks again for your constructive criticism on the GPN article. I was wondering if you could help ClaudeReigns and I out on something else if you get the time. Could you come take a look at Great Commission Association and the discussion page and possibly do some third party/moderation work for us? We could use some fresh blood, and the article has been through several months of edit wars and needs someone new. Thanks again! Nswinton 18:20, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I applaud your rewriting of the introductory paragraph (clap, clap.)Mmoneypenny 10:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] framing merge proposal

Please see Talk:Framing (sociology). - Grumpyyoungman01 14:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nelson Burton (bowler)

I was thinking that the article should be moved to Nelson Burton Sr. with a redirect--what do you think? Also, please note that there is also a hockey player by that name, so perhaps "see also" links and/or a disambiguation page would be in order. --Finngall talk 23:33, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I am happy if you make that move. I also agree that a DMB page is justified. Bridgeplayer 23:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
The hockey player has been moved to Nelson Burton (hockey) and the dab page is in its place. I've also fixed links on the hockey pages that referenced the original. --Finngall talk 01:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Nice job, thank you. Bridgeplayer 03:47, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
I see you moved the hockey player's article again--I've updated its linked pages to match. Poor guy is getting more attention here than he ever got when he was playing.  :-) --Finngall talk 16:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
LOL. Yes, sorry about that, but I had to go out before I could finish the relinking. Bridgeplayer 02:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This Tuesday in Texas Afd nomination

I'm not sure why you nominated this article, the W:PW project has three main things to edit. Wrestler bios, championship pages (the belts and champions) and PPV articles. Any PPV produced by WWF/WWE is notable, I'm not sure how familiar you are with the project but I would suggest looking at the project talk page in future before nominating any more articles. For fututre reference any PPV nominated for deletion will always be a keep. Darrenhusted 11:35, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I nominated the article because it wasn't sourced - project or not WP:V still applies. Bridgeplayer 15:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conduct issues

I've spoken to him about the issues, and made clear that anyone is allowed to edit any article that they wish, and on civility. Hopefully, that'll be the end of the issue, I'll keep an eye as well. Seraphimblade Talk to me 02:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Bridgeplayer 02:25, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rodrigo Rodriguez bio

Hello Bridgeplayer, I don't understand why you have proposed delation for the bio of artist Rodrigo Rodriguez. You said that it lacked the necessary secondary sources to establish notability, but it has some reliable sources (like All Music Guide, Discogs, etc) which were approved by editors. Also Rodrigo's music was recognized by international radios and record companies who licensed his music. If these things are not secondary sources, could you explain what type of informations are secondary sources? Thank you.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Koku (talk • contribs)

What I am looking for are reviews by notable publications favourably reviewing his work not simply saying his work exists. Bridgeplayer 17:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello Bridgeplayer, thank you for messege, I am still dont undertand about notable publications, mostly of New Age artist and World Music, apear in that type of resources, very rare they will apear in Famouse Magazine like celebrities etc right?.

His music is released WORLDWIDE, on Air in very famouse radios online of the gener NEW AGE,World.Like Echoes Radio,Anne Williams Show of Nightscapes, Within the radio. etc He has performed in the most prestigius stages ,for exemple in Japan. like "Imperial Hotel" and the NHK broadcasting.

He has licensed tracks to American Record company,Gemini Sun Records in 2006. all this information you can find in his site. Studied with Masters in Japan like biography said.

I readed the policy of notability and said about ALLMUSIC and Discogs are two data base with Notability.

What type of publications for New Age artist, and World ?

Thank you in advcance.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eli El-Chantiry

Hello, I ask that you withdraw the nomination of this article for deletion. It has long been accepted practice for city councillors for major cities to have articles, especially in Canada where such offices have a fair bit of prominence. A quick look at Category:Canadian city councillors will show you that for cities across Canada most councillors have articles. Wikipedia:Notability (people) is out of sync with standard practice in this regard, and I have thus amended it. - SimonP 20:16, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but no. The standard in WP:BIO is clear. If you wish city councillors to be notable then please consult on a widening of the guidelines. Bridgeplayer 21:22, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DRV

Citing Shalom in the AfD closure: "the nominator's rationale (no assertion of notability) no longer holds true..." If the concern was fixed before the 5 days, there isn't a reason that the AfD needed to be held the full length of time. Of course, you are welcome to relist the article, citing a different concern. Sr13 21:16, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scarborough Athletic F.C.

Well, we need to talk some sense into this guy. But he just won't listen to reason. Is it you he's referring to when he says the "american"? Goodness me, as well as being unreasonable, he's clearly a xenophobe. Mattythewhite 19:36, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

As we are, in the current sisuation with this article, we're all in a mess. I would like you and SalvoCalcio to go to the talk page, and each write why this info should be on the article, and to reach a compromose on what to do. Mattythewhite 19:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eddie Davis (boxer)

Hi, why is SmackBot converting the sources tag to the unreferenced tag? The unreferenced is used where there are no sources whereas sources is used where there are some sources but a need for more. Bridgeplayer 21:36, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, the reason is that {{sources}} used to redirect to {{unreferened}}, whereas it now redirectes to {{refimprove}}. These conversions should no longer happen, thanks for letting me know. Rich Farmbrough, 07:39 22 July 2007 (GMT).

[edit] Huddersfield

Hi I'm a little confused as to why you created the Category 'Geography of Huddersfield' and then moved the articles in the Category 'Huddersfield' into it. I thought the 'Geography of' category was only used for countries not individual towns? Could you enlighten me please? NB: please reply here for continuity I will wtch your page for the reply. Richard Harvey 18:12, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Subcategories are used to keep like pages together to make it easier to find them. The problem with leaving localities in the main Huddersfield category is that they are scattered about making it hard to gain an overview. Several towns and cities have different means of grouping, for example Category:Geography of Oxford, Category:Geography of Doncaster, Category:Areas of Birmingham, England, Category:Districts of Manchester. If you think that the category should have a different name then please go ahead and rename it. Bridgeplayer 23:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick reply. Your answer and reasoning seem quite logical. Perhaps you should now take a look at Category:Oldham, which certainly needs sorting out, as it contains geographic localities that although in the Metropoliton Borough of Oldham are not part of the town of Oldham itself. Richard Harvey 07:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes I will; there has been a major problem where the Met Borough has taken the name of the main town. The best way is to extend the town cat to include the Met Borough - see Category:St Helens, Merseyside. Bridgeplayer 22:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] University of Huddersfield changes

Hi, I note you've been making some arbitary changes to several Huddersfield articles and categories. Please can you put these up for discussion, requesting a formal decision through WP:AFD & WP:CFD where necessary, not arbitarily rearrange things - the People associated with... category is the standard structure for UK universities and just emptying individual ones and putting them up for speedy deletion on the basis of said emptiness is not the best way to do things. Timrollpickering 19:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I have put Huddersfield Hawks up for an AfD. I was not aware that the People associated with... was a standard category and I am grateful for your guidance. Bridgeplayer 23:34, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lettuce vandalism

Hi, I guess my computer showed up as 75.4.236.17 and I can't argue with the web recognizing me as somehow having made those changes because I'm just not smart enough to argue against it, but (this is my user account; I think maybe two or three times in the last 12 months I have made changes without having logged in) I did not make those changes. I do not engage in vandalism. I use Wikipeida very constructively. That said, I'm sorry for the vandalism that was done. Wikitoddia 21:46, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gombe State

Where they've been created, the lists of governors and military administrators for 36 Nigeria's states have been kept separate from the article on the state. Do you intend to merge all of them into the state articles, as you did with List of Governors of Gombe State and Gombe State? Picaroon (t) 00:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

This was unlinked from the main article and as now formulated all relevant information on the State is kept up together and can be found. Why splinter the information across two very short articles? I dealt with this merge on its merit - the structure of articles on other States is not relevant. Bridgeplayer 00:11, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear Bridgeplayer, activity is not always a good thing. The image of Sidney Coleman (who died on Sunday) is my work, I've released it to public domain, and all websites in the world that have used it respect the public domain status of the image. Please don't erase other images of mine again because of this wrong reason. I think that all images I uploaded are my work - includes dozens of physicists.

I see that another editor has placed a prod tag on this subpage that I restored for you in user space some time ago. It looks like you have in fact revised it in the main space, in which case you no longer need it, and should place a {{db-userreq}} tag on it. If you do still need it, put a justification on it's talk page and remove the tag. DGG (talk) 20:13, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:SnagIt.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:SnagIt.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 08:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
