Thanks. I was just curious, because it has been protected for so long. Corvus cornix 01:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi!

I don't believe that adding RfA's to WikiProjects falls under the scope of a "friendly notice" as described at WP:CANVASS. Also, please revist WP:POINT, as its application to my edits certainly does not apply gaillimhConas tá tú? 04:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I've already suggested many a venue for a third opinion and a fresh set of eyes on the talk page of the AWNB and haven't received a response (even though people have showed up to re-insert RfA's in the notice board). gaillimhConas tá tú? 04:36, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Out of Order

I suggest you read this discussion and have a serious think about whether you are suitable to perform administration functions on this site. You are out of order. --GeorgeWilliams 07:21, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, sorry - I did mean to post a courtesy link here to the discussion at WT:CRIC, but I wanted to test the opinion of the Wikiproject before bringing it up with you. Unfortunately, I have been beaten to the punch. For what it is worth, I also apologise for the invective that others have aimed in your direction: I can understand why you deleted the recreated articles, although, you will see from the discussion that I think there is a good case for reinstating then, even if only temporarily. One solution that we have been discussing is to aggregate these short articles into a longer overview. -- ALoan (Talk) 15:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I am in serious need of help because I have continuous problems with people accusing me with "advertising". I had so many problems on my old acount that I put it on a Permanent Wikibreak. I need help neutralizing the articles I edit. Can you adopt me?--Mxc140 01:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Royal Brunei

Hello, Gnangarra.

I would like to move Royal Brunei to Royal Brunei Airlines, as even the article itself states that Royal Brunei is actually Royal Brunei Airlines. When I flew with them last December, they even recognised it as Royal Brunei Airlines. Thank you, Social Studiously 12:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

It's mentioned on the page itself as Royal Brunei Airlines... Social Studiously 12:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, so I should bring this up? Can you help me? Social Studiously 13:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Do I put the {{move|Royal Brunei Airlines}} template on the main article page as well? Social Studiously 13:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I thought it was fairly uncontroversial, but I couldn't move it because Royal Brunei Airlines already exists as a redirect. I have to go, see you tomorrow. Social Studiously 13:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Giraffe

Hi, you semi-protected Giraffe about 3 months ago. I'm assuming whatever vandalism was going on must be long finished by now, perhaps it's time to unprotect it? (There may be a more appropriate official method of getting pages unprotected, but I don't know what it is). --Xyzzyplugh 17:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Cleaned-up

I cleaned-up Providence Marketplace by putting a history section, with about 4 new references. I also removed all of the non-marquee retailors, and also removed many tags. No tags have been added upon since! I also removed compeditors, except for one, which foiled its original plans for an indoor mall in the 1980's at the same site! Hope you will like it. However, I approve of the move to its proper name, Providence MarketPlace. I have put a temperary link to it, until the move can be implimented.--Mxc140 18:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Just Delete It!

Can you please delete Providence Marketplace? According to the adopt page, you are an administrator, therefore, you can delete pages. I have tried redirecting it to Providence MarketPlace, but now, it is now up for deletion. I agree completely. I would rather get rid of the wrong title, than anything else on this page. can you do this? I will just update my Providence MarketPlace entry. Can you just get this out of my hair?--Mxc140 23:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Presbyterians

Sorry, should have mentioned this two weeks ago but forgot. When you deleted and userfied User:JRG/List of Australian Presbyterians, it was previously raised that this was a copyvio from here. The original author admitted he'd copied and wikified the list in his early days. So, in summary, can a copyvio exist in the userspace? Thanks for your help --Steve (Stephen) talk 02:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd prefer you not delete it - it's helpful for me to use the list to build up a proper list of people - and it's not strictly a copyvio as it is a referenced source (by various links) - it's really a single source page which is just extremely bad researching. If you want you can delete all the headers so there's just a list of people's names. JRG 13:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for that. Hesperian 03:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

speedy of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Paull

hey there I don't disagree with your assessment, and Kevin Paull has been speedied.

Would you make the same assessment for any/all of the following:

If you'd agree - what do I need to do to speedy an article? Note: I haven't got a mop handy, nor do I want one.Garrie 05:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Garrie - we can't speedy an article because the subject is not notable. We can only speedy an article because it makes no assertion of notability. All of these articles contain assertions of notability, so they are not speedyable. You would have to take them to AfD, for the community to decide whether the claimed notability is sufficient. :-( Hesperian 05:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks to you both for your comments, I hadn't had anything to do with speedy deletion before and was a little suprised when it came out that way for Kevin Paull. I will group AfD the above articles excluding Lawrence. To me it seems Bryan is only notable in the context of AC (unless he did something remarkable, and becoming a captain (1 per infantry company - 100 or so soldiers) is not in itself particularly remarkable).

Pivot Stickfigure Animator

Can you suggest something? Social Studiously My Editor Review! - 11:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

There isn't much information available, I'm afraid. Just so you know, a primary source is a source created during the time a person is looking at, and a secondary source is a source created afterwards (like a modern-day book describing the Third Servile War). A primary source is not when the source is created by the developer. That's social studies! Social Studiously My Editor Review! - 11:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok. But in history, a primary source is a source created during the time a historian is studying. Social Studiously My Editor Review! - 12:15, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

List of Hunter × Hunter episodes Image upload

Hi, you reacted on my talkpage because I was uploading images on the List of Hunter × Hunter episodes page without saying under which license. I didn't do that because I don't exactly know. I have the images from [www.youtube.com] from the video animation serie: Hunter x Hunter. This serie is a free fansub, which is legal put on youtube and I think free to spread. So which licensing term and thing I must add?

Links to the Australian Dictionary of Biography

Why did you remove these links? As far as I can tell, they are links to a useful, authoritative reference that is available at no charge and does not even contain advertisements. These links are useful for anyone reading these articles, i.e. people wanting to find information about these persons, and are useful for editors who want to improve the Wikipedia article, as the dictionary itself contains substantial information and a bibliography for further reading. —Centrx→talk • 18:23, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Centrx on this, the A.D.B. is a good reference. I have used it in some of the articles I have created (see WP:ADB) and I have quoted the reference. People are always encouraged to quote reliable references when creating or editing Wikipedia articles. I believe the ADB links should stay. — Diverman 22:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I removed them because they were being spammed onto articles, they werent being utilised as a reference (see the list below). The editor was making no other edits to the articles just adding links. I removed those edit added by the annon IP. Gnangarra 02:10, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

This person simply thought it would be a good thing to have these links on the articles, which it is. He does not seem to be affiliated with the Australian Dictionary of Biography and anyway it is a free site with no advertisements. In his e-mail correspondence he seems to be acting in good faith but is confused as to the reason for removing these links. In some cases, the Australian Dictionary of Biography was used as a reference—but the addition of the link was slightly redundant because the articles already referenced an older version at a different link. In others, it does not seem to be a reference but appears nevertheless to be a suitable addition as a link. While spamming is a problem on Wikipedia, it is generally a problem with a) commercial sites for pay or with advertisements, i.e. where traffic makes money; and b) non-authoritative POV sites, i.e. where the links are added to push a particular POV. Neither of this seems to be the case here. —Centrx→talk • 02:32, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

as per WP:SPAM#Source_soliciting
  • Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam. Although the specific links may be allowed under some circumstances, repeatedly adding links will in most cases result in all of them being removed.

The removal isnt as a result of an opinion about the site, its purely in response to the IP actions. Gnangarra 04:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

  • What evidence do you have that the purpose of adding these links was to promote this website or product?
  • Why are these links not appropriate for these articles?
—Centrx→talk • 04:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Because the actions were done by an anon IP address, single purpose systematic editing by adding the EL(see the list above), I warned the editor multiple times but the edits continued. Since the IP editor wasnt adding content to the articles they aren't source for information added by that editor. repeatedly adding links will in most cases result in all of them being removed from WP:SPAM. As I've already said I was responding only to the actions of the IP not commenting on the EL. Gnangarra 06:35, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm not bringing this up to question your actions or to know whatever section of the rulebook justifies them. I'm bringing it up to ask:
  • Should we not have these links on the articles?
  • What can I tell this person via e-mail as the reason why these links are not appropriate; to me they seem fine?
—Centrx→talk • 06:44, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
The removal was in response to the actions of the IP ie spamming. I havent said A.D.B. isnt an appropriate source(I've used them myself), only the method of inclusion. Gnangarra 07:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

AfD - List of Seven Network slogans

Hey there. I'm not normally one for argueing the toss but in this case... I know it's not a voting based process but you seem to have given exceptional weight to the claim by John Vandenberg that he had five citations to strongly back up individual slogans. I've just finished looking at them (I know, I'm probably five days late) and guess what? None of them are inherently about the slogan. So while they do - if you look, very hard in some cases! - tend to confirm that something was a slogan "sometime in the 80's" for one of them, they are hardly the reliable sources that WP:ATT suggests we build articles around.

I would strongly argue against inclusion of any of John's citations into the list, and without any references the article does not comply with WP:ATT.

I understand that there is a limited timeframe for the AfD process, and in any case, just because in this instance it came back as Keep, if the article isn't improved then at some point it will probably come back for deletion again. Garrie 23:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

G, I'll agree with you that we should be cautious from edits from banned used but the edits were reverted solely becuase they were done by a sock puppet. That was my only issue. In them reverting all his edits, they also reverted this one which was a valid and good edit. This is what brought my complaint. Good edits were reverted, only because they were from a sock puppet. I only want to hear people agreeing with me: An adit should be not reverted if its a good edit, even if its from a sock puppet.--Matt57 23:54, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

That notice "All your edits have been reverted" - this doesnt make sense. Suppose I'm a good editor and I've made 1000 edits. Then I go wild, make sock puppets and get blocked. Ofcourse all my edits should not be reverted. As another admin pointed out, it depends on a case to case basis and if its a good edit, it should not be reverted. I see your point but in the discussion I'm involved with, the edits were good. Thanks for letting me know about that text. --Matt57 00:24, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Matt, why don't you provide a link to the discussion [3]. That admin said:"Just to clarify, I'm talking specifically about reverting edits made before and after a block. If the user is evading their block, that's a whole 'nother issue. I'm pretty sure you're talking about the same thing that I am from your comment, but just wanted to be clear...That's more of a grey area. I would personally agree with you, that each edit should be weighed on its merits, but it's certainly not something that I can use the word "absolutely" about (like I did above), nor say that it's mandated by policy. If it's an unquestionably good edit, then I would say it shouldn't be reverted. Beyond that, it's a matter of degrees and should be considered on a case-by-case basis." --Aminz 00:30, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
edits made by users while they are blocked or banned (i.e. through sockpuppets) are to be undone, because those edits aren't supposed to have occured in the first place. ITAQALLAH 00:44, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
When dealing with socks editors dont always know enough to determine whether the edit is honestly good, its better to revert all edits. Hence why its acceptable for another editor to reinstated the edit but they then accept responsibilty for that edit. Gnangarra 00:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. The point that "they then accept responsibilty for that edit." is central. Maybe we should add this to wiki policies.--Aminz 01:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
G, thanks. Yes it would be good to see policies on this. I am of the opinion that if a user reverts the edits of a sock, they should know what they are reverting because blind reverts can result in a loss of good information as was illustrated in reverts like this. We have collectively bothered 3 admins over this small issue. --Matt57 01:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
"We"? I think it was only Matt who threatened Itaqallah of getting block simply because of reverting David's sock. --Aminz 01:23, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I struck this comment, it isnt adding anything to this discussion Gnangarra 01:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I've learnt the hard way I check policies over and again as events like last night unfold. It(responsibility) is in the policies some where but family stuff today will mean I cant continue this until tonight. Feel free to keep the discussion here in one place I'll comment if necessary next time I'm able. Gnangarra 01:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
This was becuase I believed and still believe that it is not the best thing to revert good edits, no matter who makes the edits. This results in loss of good information. There's no Wikipedia policy on this as well. Can we move ahead now and let admins spend their time on more useful things? I think we've talked about this enough. --Matt57 01:42, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
edit conflict, -- these discussion are useful I'm more than happy for it to continue
  • please see the contributions of this user. the GA reviewing and inappropriate image insertions parallel with other DY sock activity. ITAQALLAH 01:48, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Also interests in editing homosexual related articles. --Aminz 02:12, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Is User:Qisas latest sock?

--Merbabu 07:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

This account is apparently created only to revert to DavidYork's puppet versions. The edit summaries of this user are also misleading. --Aminz 08:59, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

FA: Mt Henry Peninsula

Hey Gnangarra,

Long time, no see!

I'm making an application for the mt. Henry Peninsula to become a FA, you might want to put your opinion forward (and hopefully support us) and vote.
