Unsourced HIV positive people

I see you have included Gerald Chapman (director) in this list. I sourced most of the information about his early life and the circumstances of his death from his brother's published diary which is listed under References. It is clearly stated that the cause of his death was AIDS.

Entry for Friday, 8 November, 1996

And yesterday was the birthday of my brother Gerald, who died nine years ago of Aids. He would have been forty-seven and I still miss him terribly. Jud 20:38, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I've added a comment to the talk pages of every person on the list of unsourced HIV positive people, excluding Gerald Chapman. Do you think the above will suffice as a reference? I've not seen the book myself but I'm willing to trust Jud's word on this. Trezatium 19:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment

Could you please stop editing articles that i create or add significantly to, i know that you think you have the right to change everything to the way you want, but please have some consideration for the person who spent time editing an article and then you come up and just change everything.

That would be appreciated. thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bradles 01 (talk • contribs). 21:24, 10 January 2007

Urticaceae

I know I haven't edited the page since some days (I would have if I could, it was not my fault), but it is still inuse. It cannot be used, I don't think Urticaceae are divided in Alloideae, Youroideae, Baseoideae, Areoideae, Belongoideae, Tooideae, and Usoideae. I know I shouldn't make silly edits (this makes me a vandal), but I wanted to test if somebody would notice it until I was editing the page (I'm not a real vandal, I'm serious about botany, I wrote Ranunculaceae, Geraniaceae, Cannabaceae and others). Aelwyn 21:54, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I know, it was a test to see if anybody in ProjectPlants had put that page on watchlist, as I had requested. I'll finish that page as soon as I can Aelwyn 12:25, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

User:Alai/oldcats

That should indeed be possible, I'll have a rummage around for the SQL I used for that, and once the two long-running jobs I currently have on the go (that are probably forcing each other to thrash) have completed... I probably won't use them to populate the "previously categorised" category, since that seemed to cause more grief than it helped any. Alai 16:58, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

• OK, here it is: User:Alai/prevcat-Jan07. I've tweaked the format from last time, since a number of people seemed to think some of the old categories weren't what they were expecting. If it would be more useful in a different format, or filtered in some particular way, do let me know. Alai 01:14, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Sections are a good idea, I should have thought of that. Hopefully that will help with the size. Alai 01:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
• How's this version? User:Alai/prevcat-Jan07b It's even longer, but it has more sectioning... Also somewhat reformatted. Alai 03:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hrm, that's a little arcane: it was categorised in the Nov. db dump, and is definitely not in the January one (I just run a query to check). And it hasn't even been edited in the meantime, much less uncategorised, as you say. I've no idea why that would have happened, though it may be related to this discussion. Why this happens for 'ordinary' categories I have nio idea: one for the devs, perhaps. Alai 08:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Beware of redirections! :)

Hi! I was patrolling the recent changes on the copyright violations, and I came across SapgoBI. When you tag a page for deletion, don't forget to tag the redirection that led to it too :). That's why I always put a link to the pages I take care of in my edit summaries. If the page is still blue after a couple hours, I suspect there is something wrong (either a redirection, or a tag removal). I hope that helps! :) -- lucasbfr ^talk 16:09, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Erik the Red

The trials of my patience will never cease, my deepest apologies. The entry was made by middle school student while the class was overseen by a substitute. Following a brief investigation the child that edited the entry "Erik the Red" has been dealt with. Online vandalism of any sort is seriously frowned upon, thankyou for you messages.

adminship

Okay, the nomination is here Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Garion96. I'm probably not the world's greatest nominator so if there's anything you think I should change, let me know. But otherwise, just fill out the questions honestly and accept, then transclude the nomination onto WP:RFA. --W.marsh 22:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Pointless reversions

I noticed that you reverted User: Netscott's edits on Lee J. Cobb, because he is pointless reverting an anonymous ip's edits, because he for some reason thinks that that IP address is a sockpuppet, even though there is no evidence of such, and all of the edits being made are good, non-vandalizing ones. Please review Netscott's user contributions and continue reverting his pointless reversions against good edits. I'd do it myself but my account is new and he'll probably flag me as a sockpuppet too, noting his aggressive behavior on sockpuppet accusations. Forthegood1 17:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Garion96, sorry that you've been drug into this. All of this is an ongoing problem with this banned user. There may occassionally be good edits that this user makes but in the long term this user is a big liability for the project. This user has been defiantly utilizing sockpuppets and anon-IP addresses to evade his ban and keeps popping back up. Per this section of WP:BAN I've taken to a proactive method to encourage this user's depature from the project. See this page for further details. Cheers. (→Netscott) 18:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Image questions

Every day there are going to be some that one needs to think about. I'll tell you how I'd handle the two you asked about.

• Image:Obeissante.jpg -- Google image search on keywords from the article. If you find a source, maybe it will have enough information for us to keep it. But don't spend hours playing detective.
• Image:PunchMuch.gif -- I'll only "repair" an unfree image if I am willing to take responsibility for the Wikipedia:Fair use claim. Logos are often pretty straightforward. If it is from the official website, is small resolution, and seems to be playing some role in the article other than decoration, I'd probably fix it rather than deleting. Be conservative about this, though.

Incidentally, you might want to refer your correspondent above to the Foundation, if the matter is serious. Jkelly 01:48, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Hand in cookie Jar

Strange Ip address doing some dammage, if you got my email you know the background on this.

69.106.7.122 is strangely the same as users:ISpy, no checksum needed, it's the same that matches the email headers I get here routinely. Please check Jessica Lunsford article.

InstaTornado and user: ISpy just as I told you in email. Now you can see for yourself and play match the ips.

Cheri DiNovo

I've asked User:Abebenjoe if it would be possible to post a written confirmation from Diane O'Reggio on the image's talk page to resolve the matter. Please be aware that if Diane O'Reggio has given him proper permission to post the image on Wikipedia, then it is not necessary for the website that the image was sourced from to explicitly include an additional reproduction permission; as the provincial secretary of the Ontario New Democratic Party, O'Reggio's personal consent to reproduction of images whose copyright is held by the party is entirely sufficient. Bearcat 02:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I believe we should give him a reasonable (but certainly not indefinite) period of time to post and/or provide the relevant confirmations. Say, if he hasn't provided anything in a week or so, then proceed with deletion — but in the immediate meantime, I don't really see what there is to be gained in pressing ahead with immediate deletion when he says he does already have the permissions and just hasn't posted them. He is relatively new, and doesn't fully understand the intricacies and quirks of Wikipedia processes yet; at least to me, it feels like a violation of WP:BITE to not give him a bit of leeway to get it done properly. Bearcat 03:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

True, the image has been here for a month...but I've been reviewing the discussion around this and it doesn't look like anybody actually explained the situation, or how to resolve it, to him until just over a week ago, and even that explanation seems to have been delivered to him in a slightly condescending tone (vintage Chowbok, IME) that might not have really clarified the matter as well as Abebenjoe really needed. It really looks to me like you and I were the first two people in this entire matter to actually talk to Joe about it calmly and rationally, as sad as that is. Bearcat 03:45, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

VegaDark's Request for Adminship

Was there a earlier AfD?

Noticed this so apparently the article was not deleted nor is there any evidence of the AfD. Could you tell me what happened? Anyway I nominated the article today. Nomen Nescio^{Gnothi seauton} 19:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Copied reply from my page here: to keep discussion together

Hi, that was a long time ago I gave that editor that message. :) This article has been deleted as a copyvio (I put the copyvio tag on it, the source is now a 404) and then later recreated as a one sentence article, which again was deleted. This is the third recreation of it. Garion96 (talk) 19:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Could you retrieve those deletions, or some evidence thereof and mention it in the AfD? So people know it has already been deleted before. Thanks. Nomen Nescio^{Gnothi seauton} 20:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Correction, just the links. I of course will insert it. Would not want to influece you in anyway, sorry. Nomen Nescio^{Gnothi seauton} 20:06, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

You can link to [5], the deletion log of the article. Garion96 (talk) 20:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Recent Changes

Sorry for my recent reverted changes. I didnt realise that was the policy on the 'Prof' titles. I didnt like the (professor) in brackets though as it looked unprofessional and didnt even have a capital letter.

I will revert the changes back in the next day or so.

List of bisexual people

I can do that. Do we maybe want to have a wider notes field for this one? Some of them have explanations that should probably stay near the name rather than being stuffed into a footnote. —Celithemis 01:13, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Nah, no worries. It didn't take long at all. —Celithemis

List of Personality disorders

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article List of Personality disorders, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Request for clarification

Hello, can you clarify this edit for me? My understanding of CSD G12 is that it applies to any image that is taken from a website with a license incompatible with Wikipedia (which appears to be the case here; the image is copyright Getty Images), and the uploader does not assert permission aside from tags (which again is the case here). I don't understand how mentioning the source means the image doesn't meet CSD G12. Can you help? --Muchness 20:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello, thank you the reply. I spend a fair amount of time tagging images, so it's important to me to get the policies clear. What I'm confused about is that the image appears to meet all the relevant parameters of CSD G12. G12 doesn't state that there must be deliberate intention to violate on the part of the uploader, it only states that the copyright violation must be blatant, i.e, able to be established beyond reasonable doubt. If the assertion is questionable, it meets G12, but if the assertion does not exist, as is the case here, it also meets G12. As you say, the image is going to be deleted anyway, so this discussion is moot. But I want to get things cleared up for future cases. And I appreciate the reply. --Muchness 20:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

For the record, I was about to revert myself when I noticed you posted a second message on my talk page. I apologize for my initial revert, it was inappropriate. --Muchness 21:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

What happened to the article on Roger Arliner Young

My daughter found this article about a week ago and came back to reprint it but it was blank. Fortunately I was able to figure out how to access earlier versions. What happened to the article? Why was it blanked out? 71.85.147.60 03:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, concerning the Roger Arliner Young article. Some anon editor blanked the whole page, I reverted that. I don't mind doing that, but If you encounter a thing like that again, you can also revert it yourself. See Help:Reverting. Hope that helps, Garion96 (talk) 11:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Question on sourcing

Hola, Garion96. Question on Juan Felipe Herrera page. You (or someone) has stated that it needs sourcing. Let's say the author is a close relative and I got the info from him. How would I source it? Thank you. Huicholo 03:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

--

Hello again Garion96. I read two of those pages. It seems that a "primary source" can be used, that is if the author—JFH, himself—were to give this info to me, wouldn't he be a primary source?

Here's my question, and I hope you get what I mean in the right spirit: Sadly, I dont have as much free time as I'd like. I would love JFH to have a page, because he certainly deserves it. Can you save me some time, since you have much more knowledge of Wikipedia already in your head, and tell me what you think I should do to make the article acceptable, given I am not the author, but have a close relationship to him? Is there a way to source it that would not be toooo time consuming, knowing what you do about the specifics? If when all is said and done, the page must be removed because I cannot track down every instance of verified fact on the page, that will have to happen. I don't mind spending some time on it, of course. But I'm worried I'd need to track down a load of degrees, award citations, etc.

Text can leave nuance out of the picture, so I hope you know I mean all this with care, and not rudely, as it could read. Thank you, Huicholo 19:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining the primary sourcing. and for your help. it is greatly appreciated. Huicholo 15:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Association of Art Museum Curators

Hello, I am responding to the message concerning the Association of Art Museum Curators page which I created yesterday. I was told that the page was deleted due to copyright material copied directly from the site www.artcurators.org, but we ARE the Association of Art Museum Curators who wrote the material on the site www.artcurators.org and it is our organization indeed. Therefore, we hold the copyrights to the material and would like to post a page with our information (which yes will come directly from OUR VERY OWN SITE, www.artcurators.org). How do we apply for this page and accept the copyright laws? Please let us know, we would very much like to post our page. Also, we would like to be linked to the page on curators. How do we become a link on that page since we are the Association of Art Museum Curators? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aamc (talk • contribs) 17:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC).
