[edit] CIA articles (plural)

As you probably noticed, the main CIA article has gotten extremely long, and a number of editors are trying to make it shorter, containing the key details of legal foundation, structure, and general missions, with the details of intelligence collection, covert action, authorizations/orders for covert action, etc., in subordinate articles.

Your material would be great in CIA transnational human rights actions#Torture and rendition. I've copied your contribution there, and, if you agree, would like to have just a link to the subject in the main article.

Thanks! You might find it interesting to drop into the Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history section and look around for the Intelligence Task Force and /Essays/Declassified documents

[edit] Template

I'm aware of the template, since I'm the one who actually created it. Just like the template {{9-11 hijackers}} however, you'll notice we do list the "wrongly-accused" on the same template as the "guilty". This is actually for a good reason, because it keeps our "mistakes" visible and in the public conscious - they may see Omar Khadr listed on the template, but they won't automatically assume he's a "terrorist", maybe he'll be proven to be "another Arar". I am however, thinking of separating the template into two parts - one specific to pre-9/11 (Canada and Terrorism) and one specific to post-9/11 ("Canada in the War on Terror"). Your thoughts on that? Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 03:26, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure if there are enough to justify a template, there are I believe five minors who were detained at Gitmo, including Khadr (btw, I'm trying to get Omar Khadr to featured status this month, would appreciate your constructive criticism and discussion on the talk page) - and I've been looking at army reports trying to find the name of the kid who shot Nathan Chapman, but no luck thusfar. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 03:44, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Much appreciated, your edit actually enticed me to look a little harder for an article about the test itself, which luckily seems to be quite thorough. I think I'll try to contact Trupin and Matthews, see if there's any chance they'll release their findings into the Creative Commons so they can be put up on Wikisource and linked from the article. What's your opinion on the best place to "split" the Guantanamo section? Remove the CSIS details and put them in their own section? Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 03:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Since you haven't made any major edits to the article, you're qualified to be the deciding vote on whether it gets "Good Article" status - which is the first step towards Featured status. Personally, I think it's well beyond GA right now, and it's more of a "formality" in my mind - but the details are at Wikipedia:Good article nominations. If you think it passes, you remove it from the list and add {{GA|~~~~~}} to Talk:Omar Khadr, if you think it has some unresolved issues then it's {{GAReview|status=onhold}} on the list beneath Khadr's name, or if you think it fails, you remove it from the list and add {{FailedGA|~~~~~}} to Talk:Omar Khadr.

[edit] Khadr II

References to Omar Khadr's upbringing were deleted by Speaker for the Dead, and he deleted the POV banners placed on the article by another contributor. Thus, the POV banner you noted. I've responded to your comments, and would appreciate it if you had would have some time to provide feedback.
As an aside, I get abusive remarks hurled at me for questioning anything that Speaker for the Dead says. For instance, I was told I needed to study Logic 101, and when I explained that I was studying law at Cambridge University, the response was to question my academic credentials.--Dlafferty (talk) 10:54, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Saint John's School of Alberta article

Hi Fremte, To answer your questions, the child welfare investigation I obtained through a freedom of information request to the Alberta government, child services . There are also other documents of interest from the same series of FOI requests I will post. Also I have other interesting material that would round out the article nicely. The world authority on the history of Saint John's schools is Stephen Riley. My archive is tiny in comparison. Nonetheless, I will keep posting till all interesting material I have is exhausted. It would be easier if I had some way of forwarding the scanned files rather than having to re-type them all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjresearcher (talk • contribs) 04:36, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Create a [Kelly Kettle] page.

Hi Fremte,

I am writing to you as I wish to create a page for [Kelly Kettle] however am experiencing difficulties at the moment as the page has been protected.
There had been Intellectual Property Rights Infringement whereby searches for [Kelly Kettle] & [Volcano Kettle] were been redirected incorrectly to the [Storm Kettle] page. These Redirects have now (correctly) been removed. However, a page I had created for [Kelly Kettle] was taken down and now the [Kelly Kettle] is PROTECTED and I am unable to edit it.

There seems to be a lot of confusion and misunderstanding here by the Administrators and as such, I am only pleased to point out the following facts which should help clarify the situation:

Sharon Cawley (talk) 16:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC) 1. The Brands [Kelly Kettle] & [Volcano Kettle] are Registered Trademarks of the Kelly Kettle Company in Ireland.
2. The [Volcano Kettle] is the Generic name for these type of kettles (it dates back to the 1890's in Ireland) and is now owned by the Kelly Kettle Company which has been trading for over four generations. In the early 1920's similar type kettles appeared in New Zealand (The Thermette) and Afghanistan/Mongolia (Samovar - as pictured in a recent edition of the National Geographic magazine) and both are believed to have been slight variants of the [Volcano Kettle]
3. The [Storm Kettle] is not the generic name for these type kettles as the brand was only established in the 1990's and is a direct copy of the [Kelly Kettle]
4. Kelly Kettles are sold all over the world and I know from converstaions with Patrick Kelly, Director of the Kelly Kettle Company, that they have in excess of 40,000 new visits to their website every month.
5. The Kelly Kettle has been described in Irish Media recently as a 'Global Microbrand' i.e. a Brand which is recognised world wide in niche markets.

As such, I want to create a separate page for them. The Kelly Kettle is extremely popular globally and I don't see why the page should be protected or why there were ever redirects to a copy Brands page in the first place!

Please let me know what needs to be done here to unprotect the page so that I can insert Text and Pictures
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Thanking you in advance.
