[edit] Congratulations

A consensus has been reached by your peers that you should be an admin. I have made it so. Please review Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list and keep up the great work. Sincerely, Kingturtle (talk) 21:31, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Let me be the first to congratulate you on your software upgrade. Tim Vickers (talk) 21:34, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To start off with

You might want to take a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ananeuzumab. DGG (talk) 03:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Looks like I can safely close that one, and delete all of the articles. Perfect practice... I just have to go over the closing procedure again. Thanks for the heads up.--DO11.10 (talk) 04:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Looks like you've done a good job--hope you don't mind that I helped out. I figured the load was pretty heavy (and I was just arriving to close it myself when you did). — Scientizzle 05:44, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you both. I considered leaving a note to the closing admin recommending asking for batch-deletion help over at WP:AN, but thought it would be overkill :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 12:21, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your first deletion

Good luck with your first deletion! Personally, I'd consider registering a bot to clean up that mess. But here's a cookie for your hard work! Someguy1221 (talk) 04:15, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Allergy

Congrats on your adminship, DO11.10! I note that you are an immunologist in the making. Could I ask for your help in deep cleaning allergy? And perhaps I could ask for your opinion on primary immunodeficiency, which I more-or-less rewrote a little while ago. JFW | T@lk 22:11, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! Wow nice job on primary immunodeficiency, it is such a huge topic. It looks much better than when I last happened across it. I have made a couple of minor changes, but I have a couple of suggestions/questions for now.
  • Could you clarify what is meant by "isolated SCID".
  • Phagocytes and complement are generally though of an innate immune systems, do phagocyte disorders and complement deficiencies fall under the broader heading of innate deficiencies?
  • Why the discrepancy in prevalence? 1:500 in the intro, 1:1200, 1:600? I am sure this has to do with population sample but maybe you could elaborate on here.
Allergy. I don't think I have ever seen that many cn, attribution tags in one article before. I bet I can dig some of these up tonight.--DO11.10 (talk) 00:34, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
H'mmmm, I see what you mean....especially the whole epidemiology section! I'll try and stop by regularly to help improve it. PS....noticed you became an admin since we last chatted - congrats! Guess you are going to be busier than ever now ;o) Later, ~ Ciar ~ (Talk to me!) 06:34, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Whoa! I wish I'd asked you sooner! Brilliant work (and Ciar too).

With regards to primary immunodeficiency:

  • I will look into the "isolated SCID" thing.
  • The 2005 consensus does not lump complement & phagocyte disorders under innate deficiencies, probably for grouping but also because complement & phagocytes interact closely with the humoral system.
  • The discrepant figures are based on different publications. I'll see if we can iron this out a bit. But epidemiological data is woefully inaccurate here anyway.

Cheers! JFW | T@lk 10:18, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Nope...just go ahead! I'm just slowly working my way down the article, but I'll leave that nasty looking Epidemiology section all for you to tackle ;o)!! ~ Ciar ~ (Talk to me!) 01:41, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copy, right?

Well, the license is certainly inappropriate. I would personally contact the uploader (he's edited recently) and ask about the source, as the image may qualify for {{PD-old}} or one of its subtags. I'm not an "image admin", as they say, so that's just my take. Deletion may not be necessary here. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:14, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't think so; CSD I3 is there for "non-commercial use" images not meeting NFCC, but I don't think there is black-letter policy or guideline on inaccurately tagged images. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 18:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copy/paste

Hey there. First of all - thanks for your help on Wikipedia:Copyright problems. We'll clear that backlog yet. One question: In this edit, you found that the synopsis section of the article was not a copy/paste. I looked at it myself since it wasn't stricken from the WP:CP page. That whole section was added in bulk when the page was created and it's not been edited much since. I think it might be reasonable to assume it is copy/pasted from a copyrighted source. What was your thinking to the contrary? Just curious... Spike Wilbury talk 15:20, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good, I was just wondering. Re: your second question, do you mean you looked at every entry in Wikipedia:Copyright_problems/2007_October_26/Articles? If so, you can just remove the entire day from the list on WP:CP. I don't understand why you couldn't strike them out though.. maybe I'm not getting what you're saying. --Spike Wilbury talk 19:12, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Ahhh, I see what you're talking about. That is weird. Well if the whole day is done you can just remove it from the page. Just edit the main WP:CP page and delete the transclusion for that day. --Spike Wilbury talk 19:27, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Van Meegeren

Hi - any reason why you changed "art restorer" to "portraitist"? He was both, so why not just add the latter? RobHutten (talk) 23:57, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This and that

Greetings. I came across your unusual username when I saw that you've been helping out with the WP:CP backlog, as have I. Thanks for mopping! Your userpage looks remarkably good -- I'm jealous. (I know, it ultimately comes from Phaedriel, along with almost everything else of beauty around these parts, but you implemented it quite well. Good show.)

By the way, I got my degree in computer science -- which of course isn't really a science at all -- but I'm still able to refer to myself as a "scientist" with the slightest modicum of defensibility, so I so at every opportunity. But since you're a true scientist, I think you should preface every single thing you say with "As a scientist. . ." (e.g. "As a scientist, I support" on RFAs.) It lends an air of validity to even your most random musings. I trust you'll give this idea the serious contemplation it deserves. All the best, – Quadell (talk) (random) 03:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

As a scientist, I had (of course) already considered this approach. I often find myself composing elaborately worded deletion summaries (e.g. "As a scientist, it is highly improbable that you could fool me with such an obvious cut and paste job. Directly from the product manual? Really, let's try to be more creative next time").
On further reflection though some might consider this biting, and alas I chose a simple: "Copy vio from..." All the while hoping, against hope, that someone might someday understand that what I was really saying—in the words of the great scientist/crime fighters of our century—was: "Back-off man, I'm a scientist!".--DO11.10 (talk) 18:33, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, Phaedriel definitely made Wikipedia a more beautiful place. I only wish I had gotten a chance to thank her, but unfortunately she seems to have left the project. :(--DO11.10 (talk) 18:33, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Sooth, you say. So I officially swiped your page design. No honor among thieves, eh? :-) – Quadell (talk) (random) 22:12, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I made it easy! Check out my latest masterpiece, {{Q-box}}. – Quadell (talk) (random) 20:53, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scalpels versus chainsaws.

First, congratulations on your recent adminship. Given that you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed confronted by various admin backlogs, I don't mean to give you too much grief over this edit, but in the future, you might consider using a scalpel instead of a chainsaw, seeing as how the "entire Game Notes section" was not, in fact a copyvio, but rather the individual text summaries in each subsection were. The box scores (being non-copyrightable facts) and sub-section structure were not copyvios and can remain. That is certainly part of the reason Disavian went to the trouble to tag each summary. Thanks, AUTiger » talk 07:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

You're right, sorry about that. I do usually try to keep the chainsawing to a minimum, got a bit carried away here. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I'll keep it in mind.  :)--DO11.10 (talk) 18:01, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Congenital rubella syndrome merged into Rubella?

This merger is being discussed at Talk:Rubella. I think your opinion would be valuable, as it has some similarities with the issues you had on polio (what to put where). I can't make up my mind. Colin°Talk 14:56, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seville Fair - Feria de abril de Sevilla

Hello Do11.10. You could find allies (friends) to vote for "to translater" the article? I wish you a happy new year. I hope 2008 brings you peace and happiness. Thanks. --Saeta (talk) 18:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lassie (1954 TV series)

Hi, I see you've tagged this article for excessive non-free images. I raised the same concern at WP:Copyright problems/2007 December 26/Images but apparently there's a backlog there. I also proposed (on the article's Talk page) cutting back to a maximum of 3 non-free images, one for each of the three different casts/plots during the series' 20-year run. Would you agree? JGHowes talk - 20:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

That seems reasonable to me. I'll leave it to you to decide which images should be used. Feel free to remove the tag when you are done, and dropping a note on the talk page would probably be nice. Thanks for bringing this to my/our attention. --DO11.10 (talk) 00:06, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Done, also weeded out excessive Fair Use images on other Lassie-related sub-articles, which were loaded with Fair Use images by User:TimmyTruck far in excess of NFCC 3(a). JGHowes talk - 04:31, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm soo busy at the moment. When I get the chance, I'm looking at rotavirus. Smallpox next. Anyway, could you give me the rollback feature? Thanks, Colin°Talk 23:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The bees algorithm article

Hi, I just saw that the article called "bees algorithm" has been deleted. Well I didn't understand why it has been deleted, altough everthing looks normal in terms of copyright issues and references. Best regards, Cardiffbaybee —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cardiffbaybee (talkcontribs) 16:04, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: bees algorithm article

Hi, Many thanks for reminding, I checked it after this copyright issue, and added refferences to related places regarding that paper which I wrote. Well, are there any chance to turn back this article in normal? Regards, Cardiffbaybee

[edit]  ?!

Please, tell me how it is not free and why does it not qualify for fair use? Mghabmw (talk) 06:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

It's a parody, I own the rights to the parody. Mghabmw (talk) 06:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re: Copyright problem

Another editor has listed Image:Worship-leader.jpg as having a copyright problem. There has been a discussion here. For simplicity I've pasted the discussion from that page below:

Image:Worship-leader.jpg- Although this is the author's own work it does appear to include copyrighted material. Namely the lyrics to a song which has restrictions on reproduction. For example for a church to use those lyrics on a projector system as shown they must have a valid CCLI licence. Although done in good faith, I am unsure as to whether the appearance of the lyrics within this photograph constitute copyright infringement or not. I put a note on the image's talk page some time ago.Crimperman (talk) 13:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Okay, this is a free work that incorporates non-free lyrics. However, the use is minimal, and certainly counts as fair use under U.S. law. I think it's best to tag the image with both {{GFDL} (for the photo itself) and {{fair use in}} (for the lyrics), and then not use it in user space. – Quadell (talk) (random) 00:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Would it be possible for you to add the fair-use template to the image page? You will also need to remove it from your user page. Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers--DO11.10 (talk) 03:33, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Thank you for bring it to my attention. This was the first I've heard of it. I have commented on the discussion page. --Mactographer (talk) 10:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rotavirus

Hi, would you have time to take a look at Rotavirus ? I plan to take it to FAC around the 9th or 10th of March and I would greatly appreciate any comments you might have. Best wishes, Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 20:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets Deletion

You deleted a chunk of the article last week and I'm a member of the VTCC and I'm sure the Army ROTC detachment wouldn't mind, what do I do to get it back —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.82.67.163 (talk) 01:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of World Championship Motorsports

You may have deleted World Championship Motorsports because the same information appears on another web site. (copyvio from http://www.blatawcm.com/HISTORY.asp) As I wrote the www.blatawcm.com website and the World Championship Motorsports page on Wikepedia there is no copyright problem. www.blatawcm.com is my own site. I would much appreciate it if you could therefore reinstate the original World Championship Motorsports Wikipedia page. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Clifford WCM (talkcontribs) 09:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Frederik H. Kreuger

Du kennst mich von früher, ich habe die deutsche Version von Han van Meegeren geschrieben. Du kennst auch meinen Freund Primasz, mit dem Du Informationen über Han van Meegeren austauschst.
