GA
I know it has only been a few days but wanted to make sure you knew I wasn't ignoring you or anything. Busier weekend then I thought and I will make sure to take a look at the article.Cptnono (talk) 07:39, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 * No worries. Just let me know when you finish the review. --Ashershow1talk • contribs 18:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay. I was going to reply a few days ago but there are still multiple issues. Overall, it just does not go into the depth expected of a GA. The sources have so much more than the article that it just seems lacking. Copy and pasting the CBS logo into the YouTube screenshot is also not the way to do it. There is also a dead link and a source added wasn't formatted. It just didn't jump to GA level with the changes.
 * Furthermore, I do not know if it was my error or not, but the GA was closed out so it should not longer be edited. I am closing it but you can always open a second one. If you want a second opinion you can do that right now but I honestly would not be able to pass it in its current state. A second review will get its own page so add the template to the article's talk page when you feel it is ready: } Cptnono (talk) 22:00, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for looking into the article--this is my first nomination of an article for GA status, so I'm still very new at this. If you had to identify the most glaring overall flaw of the article (non-MoS related), what would it be? --Ashershow1talk • contribs 23:11, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It can be a weird process but it can be fun.
 * Detail. It seems too short for the information available. Try going a little nuts and combing through the sources for more information. Right now it looks like snippets but try to write it as if the media was not available to the reader.Cptnono (talk) 23:17, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Why did you delete Death planes (common game)?
If i may. There may be little evidence, but obviously in time this can be resolved. Can you honestly in your heart of hearts tell me you have never seen children construct paper planes? Is it possible a competitive game has been constructed out of this? This is not an unreasonable thought. I mereley ask that you allow this page to remain as it hurts no one. There are facebook campagins relating to the game. Surely it would be somewhat elaborate to make all this for something that simply doesn't exist? The page says nothing which is untrue. The somewhat unlikely origin stories, of which we all are sceptical, are not preached as fact; they are also sceptical and say that these stories are unlikely, but may be the source of the games popularity. I simply request further action is not taken. As for removing the notification, it was only because I felt justice would not be served. This game is probably being played at a school near you. Sincerely, Clem2011Clem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.15.117.19 (talk) 20:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You've raised a lot of issues about Wikipedia, and I will try to respond to each of them accordingly. First, it is important to remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a forum or chat room.  Everything that is stated must be completely and fully backed up by credible and reliable sources (a facebook page with 1 fan is not credible).  Thus, writing an article about a schoolchildren's game that is not written about anywhere, or mentioned at all in popular culture, violates the basic cornerstone of Wikipedia.   "I mereley ask that you allow this page to remain as it hurts no one."  But it hurts the encyclopedia.  Wikipedia is dedicated to creating a factual, reliable, encyclopedia; we are not analysts or psychics.  When I edit WP, I don't think "Is it possible a competitive game has been constructed out of this?," I simply write what is undoubtedly factual, nothing more, nothing less.  I realize that this is not something that is easy for all newcomers to grasp, so if you have any other questions feel free to message me anytime.  I'm also looking for new users to adopt, so if you'd like to become more involved in editing Wikipedia, I'd be glad to take you on as a temporary student.  Regards, Ashershow1talk • contribs 00:06, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Please do not delete the page Death Planes (Common Game). You must have seen children constructing crude paper planes. It is perfectly reasonable that this may have become a real game. As for my lack of evidence, what evidence is there to show that The Game (Mind Game) actually exists. It still has its own wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clem2011clem (talk • contribs) 23:56, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Again, your standard of evidence is way to light for Wikipedia. Wikipedia is in fact so strict on its standard for evidence that a man named Ray William Johnson, who has millions of subscribers to his Youtube channel, does not have a Wikipedia page because there are not enough third party sources surrounding his existence.  The Game (Mind Game) has numerous sources supporting its existence and notability, such as this and this.  For example, even if I had witnessed children playing with paper airplanes, and even if I could confirm the existence of a game called Death Planes, or even if a hundred people could confirm its existence, we could not make a wikipedia page about it because there are no written reliable sources.  I encourage you to read WP:Notability and Verifiability in order to better understand how Wikipedia works.  Remember that Wikipedia is not a local newspaper, it is the greatest encyclopedia the world has ever seen.  Wikipedia must maintain its standard of evidence in order to remain a reliable, encyclopedic source.  If you would like to help contribute to Wikipedia, please read the links I provided, and again I would be glad to adopt you as an apprentice.  --Ashershow1talk • contribs 04:43, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, it appears we have our differences, but I'm interested in learning so I would like you to teach me some ways I can make wikipedia better for everybody. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clem2011clem (talk • contribs) 21:15, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

DYK
Your DYK proposal has been...    ...answered. Dentren |  Ta lk  17:27, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

BWV 159
Thanks for spotting an extra "in" in BWV 159. Teach me English: why do you think the passive "It was written" is preferable to "He wrote it". Typically (for some 200 cantatas) the line continues "and first performed it", to stress that he himself conducted (and probably played continuo in) the first performance, actively so. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:38, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Since the subject of the article is about the cantanta and not about Bach, starting the second sentence with "He" is somewhat ambiguous and generally inadvisable. Remember that the lead of an article should be able to stand alone if needed.  Therefore the subject of each sentence in the lead should be about the article's subject, not a continuation of a previous sentence.  Sentence continuation is, however, mechanically permissible in the later sections of the page.  Thanks for your interest in grammar! --Ashershow1talk • contribs 22:54, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for explaining. Would "Bach" be better than "he"? I still don't like "performed by Bach" so much, because it sounds (to me) like he was the sole performer, but there were soloists, the Thomanerchor and instrumentalists. This is explained in Bach cantata, and I don't think it needs to be repeated 200 times. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:43, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure. If you want to say "Bach performed the cantata," that's fine because the cantata is still the subject of the sentence.  I would say just try to make sure that in the lead of an article, each sentence can make sense on its own.  Refrain from letting sentences in the lead rely on each other.  Thus, "The cantata was written and performed by Bach" sounds better (to me) than "The Cantata was written by Bach.  He also performed it." --Ashershow1talk • contribs 16:50, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Then how about "Bach composed the cantata ... and performed it ..."? (Watching here) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:55, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what you mean....why don't you write the suggested lead in the article's talk page, and we can edit it from there until it's ready (sorry for all the talkbacks, I've had problems with people not getting my messages before). --Ashershow1talk • contribs
 * I don't think that is such a good idea, because it's a question regarding not only that cantata. Compare BWV 72 where it's all in one sentence. My suggested lead is the one which you changed. I think to say "by Johann Sebastian Bach. He ..." is clear enough in a sentence which doesn't have any other word "he" could refer to. In order to meet your concern I suggested above instead "by Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach composed the cantata ...".
 * First, there's nothing wrong with editing the lead in the article's talk page, because when we reach a conclusion we can make the same revision to all cantata articles. Second, I changed the sentence originally because it immediately struck me as grammatically incorrect, or at best, awkward.  The subject of the lead is the cantata, not Bach.  Here is the original lead:

The subject of the first sentence is Sehet, wir gehn hinauf gen Jerusalem. The mention of Bach is a sidenote, a comment at the end of the sentence. To start off the continuation sentence with a casual pronoun "he," is only correct if it refers to the subject of the previous sentence. For the sake of argument (this would not be appropriate for a WP lead), you could technically write:

Do you see the difference? The second version made Bach the subject of the first sentence, thus justifying the use of "he" in the beginning of the second sentence.

I'm going to move this conversation to the talk page of BWV 159, so please direct any other questions/suggestions there. --Ashershow1talk • contribs

Murders in MI on MArch 16
In regard to this page, I don't know if the statements in it were true, but if they were true, then tagging it as db-nonsense could be seen as very offensive by the article creator. I agree that the page is worthy of speedy deletion (how can we have an article about a murder without revealing the victim's name?) but under some other criterion such as db-nocontext. The page did not qualify as "patent nonsense" anyway because Wikipedia has a restrictive definition of that; see Patent nonsense. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:36, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Thanks for the tip. --Ashershow1talk • contribs 01:39, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

RE: Help
Hi, sorry I couldn't help with the PlayStation article - I was watching a movie at the time so didn't see it all taking place (I certainly would have helped anyway if I had seen it). Looks like someone has semi-protected it for 3 days now so there shouldn't be any more problems at least until it's auto-lifted. There seem to have been an awful lot of rampant vandalism attacks by various IPs on video-game related articles recently - as yet no single article has been re-attacked after the protection is released, so it should be OK. Anyway, in future you can request semi-protection at WP:PADLOCK - hopefully an admin will see it fairly quickly and semi-protect the page in question, at least for a few days.

 * Hey, sorry for the frantic tone of my message, I was afraid that if I let it go on for a few more hours some seriously annoying damage could have been done.

Please put Obama photos on Commons
Dear Ashershow1, Thanks for working on the Timeline of the Presidency of Barack Obama (2011). I noticed that you uploaded to Wikipedia. It would be extremely helpful if you would upload public domain images to Wikimedia Commons instead of to Wikipedia. Especially for United State presidential photographs, there are a number of categories that should be applied at Commons. You will see what I mean by browsing some of them there. Please see WP:UPIMAGE for more general information. —Diiscool (talk) 01:04, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Work (physics)
Hello Ashershow1. Thanks for your simpler explanation added to Work (physics). I have reverted your edit for a couple of reasons.
 * The introductory paragraphs (and perhaps the whole article) is written in terms of the work done by the net force. No mention is made of the net work or the algebraic sum of the work done by all the external forces.  I think your explanation was potentially confusing because it added new concepts - namely the idea of the work done individually by all external forces, and the algebraic sum of the work done by all these forces.  In my experience, introductory physics text books including Tipler, the one cited in our article, define work in terms of the work done by the resultant force (Wikipedia calls it net force), not the algebraic sum of the work done by all external forces acting on the body.
 * Secondly, your edit began In other words ... I think this expression is colloquial and not appropriate in an encyclopedia.

Regards, Dolphin  ( t ) 01:24, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation of your revert. The reason I added a simpler explanation to the article was because I felt the lead was confusing, especially to someone who has little or no prior knowledge of physics.  The equation stated in the article; $$W = \Delta E_k = E_{k_2} - E_{k_1} = \tfrac12 m (v_2^2 - v_1^2) \,\!$$, can be simply stated: The net work done on an object is equal to its change in kinetic energy.  That is effectively what the equation represents.  I don't see any reason not to call a spade, a spade.  Perhaps "in other words" can be replaced with "in essence" or "essentially," but, frankly, many readers of this article will be high school students and will appreciate the use of a minor colloquialism to demonstrate a point.  Let me know what you think. --Ashershow1talk • contribs 01:42, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The concept of mechanical work and its application to the work-energy theorem can be explained in either of two ways:
 * the work done by the net force acting on a body is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the body, or
 * the algebraic sum of the work done by all external forces acting on a body is the net work and is equal to the change in kinetic energy.


 * These are two significantly different ways of explaining the work-energy theorem. Any explanation of the subject should take one of these ways and stick to it, not mix the two together and assume they are the same.  After your recent edit to the article I felt the lead was presenting readers with a mixture of the two.
 * Wikipedia already has an article on net force but no article on net work so readers can't refer to an existing article to find an explanation of net work. (There is a link called net work but it is a redirect to Network and has nothing to do with physics.)
 * I agree with calling a spade a spade, but I don't think that is what your recent edit was doing. It was confusing two different ways of explaining the work-energy theorem.  I have no problem with a separate section of the article talking about the work done by individual forces (such as weight whose work is directly related to gravitational potential energy), or introducing the concept of net work, but it should be in a separate section, not in the lead.
 * I also agree that the lead to an article should be relatively simple so that it is accessible to newcomers to the subject, such as high school students, but remember that WP:NOTTEXTBOOK explains that Wikipedia is not a textbook. Cheers.  Dolphin  ( t ) 02:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * How about:
 * --Ashershow1talk • contribs 02:39, 23 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The cited source is Paul Tipler's Physics for Scientists and Engineers, page 138, 3rd edition. I don't have a copy but I understand it (and certainly my own College physics textbook) says:
 * the work done by the net force is equal to the change in kinetic energy
 * You are proposing another sentence following immediately afterwards that says:
 * In essence, the work done by all the forces acting on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy
 * These two will appear contradictory until there is a separate explanation that the work done by the net force is in fact equal to the algebraic sum of the work done by all the forces.
 * The lead to the article should present an unambiguous explanation of the work-energy theorem, not a mixture of two. I don't particularly care which of the two explanations is presented, so long as it is uniform through the lead and is supported by a cited source.  Tipler is a suitable source for the net force explanation.  Do you have a source for the proposed algebraic sum of all forces explanation?  Dolphin  ( t ) 03:24, 23 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, Paul Zitzewitz's Physics: Principles and Problems, page 220.

Also, do you mind if I move this discussion to Talk:Work (physics) so that others can add their opinions? --Ashershow1talk • contribs 18:20, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Transferring to Talk:Work (physics) is a good idea. Dolphin  ( t ) 06:14, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

NUS Mathematics article
Hey, I noticed you restored my version of the page NUS High School of Mathematics and Science. The two edits you reverted were made by the same IP that vandalized the page a few moments ago (I reverted and warned after those edits). However, as I was preparing to revert to my version, I noticed that the edits may not have been vandalous ones. Can you explain the reason for your revert, or was it just because you assumed it was vandalism? --Ashershow1talk • contribs 00:41, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, just bad timing, meant to revert the vandalism reported here instead of your reversion of the vandalism. Then when I looked at it further, it was unsourced, so questionable. Dreadstar  ☥  00:49, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Improperly nominated AfD
On 18 December 2010 you created Articles for deletion/KinoSearch. However, you did not record the fact in the article, did not inform the author of the article, and did not add it to the list of AfD discussions for the day. The consequences of this were (1) there was no chance for a proper discussion, as scarcely anyone was aware that the AfD existed, and (2) because no administrators knew of the existence of the AfD page it was left unclosed until today, when someone found it and reported its existence to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. I have listed the discussion for you, so that proper discussion can start now. I don't know whether, since December, you have found out how to list an article for AfD, but if you haven't then you can see how to do it at Articles for deletion.

Panama City shootings
Hi! Thanks for putting work into the Panama City school board shooting article. However, If you believed that what was quoted was the only peritent information, you should have written:
 * about http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2010_Panama_City_school_board_shootings&diff=prev&oldid=412051876
 * "Described by the Associated Press as a "troubled,[...] ex-con[...] with an interest in anarchy[...]""

Replaceable fair use File:Mechanics union monument.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mechanics union monument.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:59, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:John Lennon, Leon Wildes, Courthouse steps, 1976.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:John Lennon, Leon Wildes, Courthouse steps, 1976.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 05:43, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Michael wildes with Yoko Ono with Leon Wildes.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Michael wildes with Yoko Ono with Leon Wildes.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 15:53, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Obama meets with Brazilian president.JPG


The file File:Obama meets with Brazilian president.JPG has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "unused, low-res, no obvious use"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Beachbody logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Beachbody logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Organized labour project
Thank you for earlier joining the Organized Labour project. I've been a participant in the project since 2006 and am helping with a revival of it. As part this we are introducing a new membership system, which will help with communications among participants. This involves creating a membership file for each participant within your user space (you can see an example of my membership card here: User:Goldsztajn/WikiProjectCards/WikiProject Organized Labour). This system is already in operation within a number of wikiprojects (such as Women in Red and Medicine). You will not have to do anything, myself or someone else from the project will create the relevant file within your userspace. However, I am conscious that it is not polite to change an editor's userspace without notice. If I don't hear from you in the negative, I will go ahead with making the change after the 18th of January. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Many thanks for supporting the project, in solidarity, --Goldsztajn (talk) 20:04, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Battle of Al Kut


The article Battle of Al Kut has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Confused entry. Titled as a battle. Described as an uprising. Supported by a single unreliable source."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
