Dear Chzz!

You have acknowledged others' concerns about your first statement at the memorial page. Would you kindly consider changing the wording, for the sake of his family and friends, please?

I know that you were just expressing being upset. I thought something similar .... However, I think that we should leave such expressions to the Marines, who have more practice with such expressions, I understand. :)

Sincerely, Kiefer .Wolfowitz 02:20, 21 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Done  Chzz  ►  02:41, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Aww, that's a shame. RIP-type comments should be about the person commenting and the deceased. I thought it was funny, but more importantly, I think bahamut would have too. *shrug* EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 02:44, 23 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks! That was very considerate of you. (I am risk averse about such things.) Kiefer .Wolfowitz 02:46, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks so much to everyone who jumped in and decided to give the ambassador concept a try, and double thanks those of you who were involved early on. Your ideas and insights and enthusiasm have been the foundation of the program, and they will be the keys the future of the program.

RONALD
HELLO, I AM RONALD AND I AM WRITING YOU TO SEE IF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SERVING AS MY MENTOR FOR MY WIKIPEDIA CLASS ASSIGNMENT? Ronald06514 (talk) 20:28, 25 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi RONALD. I'm sorry, but I'm not currently active - I'm taking a break from Wikipedia - so, I can't help.
 * One little tip though - don't type in CAPITALS all the time - it makes it sound like you are shouting :-)
 * Good luck with your assignment; there's plenty of other good helpers around.
 * You can chat to me and my friends here. Cheers,  Chzz  ► 23:55, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Chzz,

My name is Sean and I am a student in the United States. I am currently a Political Science major and am taking a class on Political Participation. One of our assignments for the semester is to select a political group and develop/add to their current wiki page. I selected the Polaris Project as my group. In brief, the group focuses on preventing, eliminating and raising awareness on human trafficking. This most interested me because I hope to one day pursue a career in federal law enforcement. I would be very appreciative if you could help me along the way as I am a new user and you seem to be open to helping us newbies. Let me know if this is something you would be interested in.

Thanks,

CAT:EP
Thanks for helping out at CAT:EP. It gets backlogged sometimes and many hands make light work. Just to let you know that sometimes I deliberately leave requests open for a few days, for example if the requets is valid but there are some minor details to sort out. I know that strictly speaking the editprotected should not be applied until the request is ready to go, but I am trying to apply some common sense and it also helps me keep track of them (I am not so organised as you you see.)

Secondly, on Talk:Louie Gohmert: one could argue that Off2riorob should not have applied the request until there was consensus, but by the time you got there there was a strong consensus to remove the offending paragraph, so I am not sure why you disabled that one?

Regards &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:19, 28 September 2011 (UTC)


 * There were 4 COI edit requests, 46 semi-prot edit requests, and 9 prot edit requests - so, I decided to clear it down. I do understand that things can be just 'notes' but, the concept of those request cats is, things that people can do something about - as the templates themselves say. If it's something that cannot be actioned (because it needs further discussion/agreement), that's fine, but it doesn't belong in the cat. If it's dealt with in that manner, that helps prevent backlogs - as requests can be 'processed' as yay/nay, instead of sitting around forever as 'maybe'. I don't believe that is anything radical; Template:Edit protected says should be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately [...] should be used only to request edits to fully protected pages that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it - that seems pretty clear, to me.


 * Re. Gohmert - I see you've changed it, so I guess this one is completed now? I have no problem with your choosing to declare consensus in such a way; but in simply processing the request, I felt it impossible to ignore someone declaring "I do not agree with its removal" directly above the request. Nor do I understand quite why you bothered asking on the talk for consensus, if you were just going to action it regardless - not that I object, just, I don't understand.  Chzz  ►  17:21, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes I understand how these categories work and I acknowledge that, according to the rules, you are perfectly within your rights to disable requests that are not "ready to go". However I am also suggesting we can also apply a little WP:COMMONSENSE here and not deactivate requests that are almost ready to go. I'm not suggesting by any means that we leave requests "sitting around forever", but 2-3 days, in occasional circumstances, does not seem problematic to me.
 * Your response to the Gohmert issue actually astounds me. I declined to make the change when requested by one editor and asked for further comment. (I could have disabled the request at that stage but decided it was probably a valid request, I just wanted to make sure.) Then we have 4 editors in good standing supporting the removal and you disable the request because one SPA disagrees?! I'm not sure what you could call consensus if not that. I didn't action the request "regardless" but on the basis of that strong consensus that I saw.
 * Anyway what's this "indefinite break" that doesn't seem to be much of a break ;) Are you back with us? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:18, 28 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Re. waiting a few days - I do take your point, and will keep it in mind in the future. Personally, I really don't think it's best to leave things in a queue like that when they cannot be actioned; it soon leads to backlogs. Same happens in things like AFC, where people just leave stuff hanging around...and it backs up. I used to sometimes clear all of 'em. And same kind of thing for PER, SPER, etc. - I cleared them all...which is fairly easy to see/do, but not if I left ones that were very new/un'do'able.
 * For Gohmert, I do take your point there, too - but, it's very clear that at least one editor disagrees - in particular, see . After all, I only said "If you reach agreement, please re-request" - you decided that there was agreement, so, yep, fine, no worries there! I think, possibly, BLPN would be a better venue for the issue there though, really (rather than an edit request - or, as well as).
 * As regards the break... I have massive reservations about some very core issues on the wiki, so, I am not sure if I'll be back. Yep, I've been back for about the past 24 hours - hence altering the notice a bit - but, I don't know if I'll stick with it.  Chzz  ►  22:11, 28 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Chzz - welcome back - I don't know if you had seen them but my edit request arose out of a perceived consensus at two separate reports to the BLPN

The user that disagrees is never going to agree. I appreciate the way you always stick up for such users though. Regards - Off2riorob (talk) 23:42, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * - Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard
 * - Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard


 * I see - thanks for mentioning that. BLPN seems the best place for it, yep - and I do understand that they'll never agree, yep. I'm not exactly 'sticking up' for 'em, all I'm saying is, it's not uncontroversial (in PER terms), hence neeeds dealing with outside of the normal PER request (through BLPN, or whatever) - as in accordance with the PER template itself, saying "If the proposed edit might be controversial..." - anyway, it's all sorted, I think? Thanks again,  Chzz  ► 00:00, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool, I also wanted to push it through prior to the article being unlocked to reduce possible disruption/warring - just in case you don't know two of your edit request refusals in being posted on J Wales talkpage User_talk:Jimbo_Wales in some kind of appeal to the jimbo - Off2riorob (talk) 00:10, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

IRC group contacts
You asked who appoints group contacts and who founders new channels. The answers are no one, officially. It is actually freenode itself that "recognizes" people they know and trust to be the group contacts, WMF can not appoint them. As for channels, the first person to start a channel becomes its owner. For instance, I felt that the simple English Wikipedia needed an admin channel, so I started it. I'm the channel contact (not group contact) and founder of it. I then appointed a couple of people I trust and that's it. WMF does not officially approve of the IRC channels, even though they support the work of freenode. This is why onwiki rules don't apply top IRC, although common sense does. This is the way most channels start. There are also wikimedians who are staff members of freenode so there's a good relationship between the two of us. Hope this answers your questions.  fr33k man  19:19, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Those edit requests
Which articles need attention inside WP:FEED? Which bureaucratic crap is stopping editing? ZipoBibrok5x10^8 (talk) 01:35, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Q1 All of them; I'd think that was obvious. On Oct 5th, for example, Svetlana Vanyo, Orange and Bronze Software Labs, "Holt Adoption Agency" (deleted?), Indiola, Oregon, Tide, Oregon, Global Reach Partner, Misha Norland, User:Reza.moossavi/Student Union in Sundsvall at Mid Sweden University, User:Timeport101/Verax NMS, Ezra Cline, User:Inesa2011/Entry Point North, Munger Road, User:Wmetz/Education Pioneers, Numéro Cinq... and many more.
 * Q2. I didn't say that "bureaucratic crap" was "stopping editing"; I just wish that our efforts could be redirected away from arguments and warnings, and towards helping new users.  Chzz  ► 02:03, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

VPC: thanks and a follow-up question
Hi Chzz, thanks for your assistance with the article for The Voter Participation Center. If you have a moment, please can you take a look at my question to you on the talk page there? Thanks! Sylvanshine (talk) 16:47, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi. Apologies in advance that this might seem tiresome, but...
 * Please can you create a new section on the talk page of the article - ie on Talk:The Voter Participation Center, create a new section at the end (like this), put at the start, and then say "I think that the '2008 North Carolina Democratic primary' section should be removed because..." - and explain why.
 * Then someone - not necessarily me, but some volunteer - will look ASAP.
 * I'm suggesting this approach because a) I don't have time right now to look into it and see if it's OK, b) it's really best-practice for such requests, so that anyone could take a look. And c) it's easier to deal with one simple request at a time - now that the main 'copy-paste' has been done, we could look at any and all further issues, including that one.
 * If you have trouble doing that, please let me know and I can help fix it up. Thanks,  Chzz  ► 16:53, 17 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've followed your advice and turned my note to you into an open request. Thanks again for your help and for replying so quickly! Sylvanshine (talk) 17:58, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your understanding and patience; I've added a comment there and I'd hope a volunteer will get to it within some days.  Chzz  ►  18:20, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

User:ChzzBot IV
Hi Chzz, This bot is very keen to stick a notice on my talk page, and keeps adding it back again (after I accepted an AFC submission) and remove the notice. Does it have an edit warring autocut off, or just keep repeating the same notice forever? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:15, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry; obviously that is an error, and I'll stop the bot while I sort it out. It should not post twice on the same AFC (or to the user who made it) - clearly there's a mistake in the code. The bot has only been in full operation for a few days; I checked the logs, and it's only on your page, no others.
 * I'll make sure I fix it, and test the fix, before running it again. Apologies again, and thanks for letting me know.  Chzz  ► 14:17, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, if it is only my page, it's no big deal. And the article does not use ref tags so it has the right message! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:52, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep; and you were the unlucky punter! Which a) is bad...that my bot edit-warred a SysOp O_O but b) actually, it's better it was you, not a new user.
 * I can see why it happened; a stupid bug. But I want to re-write it anyway, because it's currently terribly inefficient, as it's scanning ALL AFC's each time, and can easily skip the ones it has done - which, also, solves the glitch you experienced. So, I'll re-write it, as I want to anyway.
 * Thanks for being so nice about it!  Chzz  ► 20:56, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Reply from Edmund6795
Thanks Chzz. I do have a disproportionate interest in the built environment or London-based enviro services since I am a Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth fan (they already have a lot of content on their organisations- and editing them is far too COI for me). When I'm not on wikipedia I do write for other niche wiki like envirowiki- and some of the practices are more lax over there! So I'll be more objective on the subject or leave it until someone else does something with it. In the meantime, I'll practice on articles that perhaps aren't as...erm interesting! Thanks for the advice! Edmund6795 (talk) 12:10, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Have you any idea how incredibly hard it is for a new user to propose a DYK? It's a nightmare. Even I, with 100,000 contribs, find it hard.  Chzz  ► 02:00, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I have often had trouble with Wikipedia templates (not just at DYK) that are intolerant of errors, but you ain't lying about the difficulties of DYK these days. DYK has been under attack from several users who are committed to finding fault at every opportunity, recording every error in DYK for posterity, and impugning the moral character (not to mention the intelligence and education) of the regular participants. In reaction, structures and procedures have been created that are supposed to resolve various criticisms of DYK, and they get implemented before they are tested. --Orlady (talk) 02:08, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

It would be advisable for you and the article creator both to watchlist Template:Did you know nominations/Lucas Hoge, so you can monitor the review. --Orlady (talk) 14:07, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

 * For one thing, it's confusing; it should mention your username. For another, it is not permitted to advertize a group/organization on Wikipedia. And, let's be honest, talking about 'Anonymous' like that is just plain disruptive. The purpose of your signature is to identify you as a contributor. If your signature is unnecessarily confusing, editors may request that you change it. An editor with a confusing signature may be blocked sooner than usual for other inappropriate behavior such as disruption or vandalism, if their confusing signature contributes to the disruption. - WP:SIG.


 * I can probably dig up some specific policies that prohibit it, but to be honest, I think it's common-sense that it's not constructive to have that as your sig. So - please, change it.


 * Also, as you just saw here the 'sinebot' considers it invalid, and will keep adding an 'unsigned' thing.


 * If you really object, we can start a discussion on some appropriate noticeboard, and get more opinions; but I'm hoping that won't be necessary. Thanks,  Chzz  ► 16:20, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Ring Cinema
Re your blanking, appreciated but not necessary. It's his talk page, he has some latitude there, venting at me is understandable since I'm the one who blocked him. He wasn't using profanity or being vulgar in any way, which I considered commendable. ~Amatulić (talk) 13:10, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Duly noted. I don't agree that it can be considered commendable to call someone an idiot/moron/dumb/stupid; but I will bear in mind what you said in any future cases. In fact, I can't remember ever doing any similar action before - in that specific case, I just felt the clear NPA's could be removed per policy, and more importantly that the discussion was not in any way helping with Wikipedia. I'm sorry you don't agree with my action, and I certainly will bear it in mind (I'm not just saying that) - but I don't suppose there's any point doing anything further at this time, as the user has no access to the page? Unless you really want to restore it, in which case I wouldn't object. Cheers,  Chzz  ► 19:39, 20 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Don't get me wrong &mdash; I certainly don't mind if insults against me are removed, and of course I have no problem with policy compliance. But since the target (me) hadn't actually complained about it, removal wasn't necessary although appreciated.


 * The attacks themselves weren't commendable, but I marveled that an angry person would resort to clean, non-vulgar invective. Made me wonder if he was actually angry. Too bad the taunts weren't that imaginative though. If he had demonstrated more creativity or artistry, I'd have objected if they were removed. Even if he had plagiarized the French guard from Monty Python's Holy Grail, that would have been an improvement. :) ~Amatulić (talk) 20:44, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Searches are generally poor references, but this specific search does not lead to any information about Lees; it possibly shows that Lees has written some pieces, but none contain any information about the subject.
 * She is a journalist. These are pieces she has written. I can modify the references to be more specific, but they arent going to be about her, they are going to be about the subject matter about which she was asked to write. If you were to reference Caitlin Moran's work, to show she is an ardent feminist, would you have the reference directed at an autobiographical piece she wrote?

Articles need to be verifiable - that means, we need references that allow us to check that the facts are correct. For example: Lees was born in Nottingham and attended the University of Brighton, earning a degree in English Language and Literature in 2009. - we need to know where these specific facts can be checked.
 * You expect me to be able to reference where someone grew up? Can you prove that you grew up in your area, because this seems to be an invalid point otherwise. Verifiable references have been attributed to her work, which have been discussed above. MooseyJake (talk) 09:58, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

At a bare minimum, to have an article on Wikipedia about a person, we need evidence of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources.
 * The sources are there, and it is clear that she has worked on the articles mentioned and referenced. I think the issue is, that you are expecting every reference to reference her directly, when it is her work that is being talked about in the article, and the references reflect that. MooseyJake (talk) 09:58, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the help, and I hope we can get this article up-and-running as soon as possible, MooseyJake (talk) 09:58, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * It requires references that give information about her, not things written by her.


 * Can I prove where I grew up? No. But, there is no Wikipedia article about me - I don't meet the notability requirements. I'm sorry, but, I think the pages I've linked explain it quite clearly. As of now, you have not provided evidence to show that this individual meets the inclusion requirements.  Chzz  ► 10:03, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * After looking at several bio's on here, I can see it needs to be rewritten, but of those that I have seen, no references, the like of which you are pertaining to, are evidant, and these are bio's who have been submitted, approved and everything is OK. As such, is it possible to get a second opinion? MooseyJake (talk) 10:15, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The existence of other 'bad' articles is a weak argumeent; see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
 * Yes, it is possible to get another opinion; see Third opinion if you want to do so. But, in all honesty - it clearly does not pass the notability requirements, and I'm 100% confident that any other experienced editor who checks the above discourse will agree - that the references you have given do not show "significant coverage in independent, reliable sources".  Chzz  ► 10:20, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes its a rubbish argument, but frankly I have yet to find an article on a journalist that successfully references the place where they grew up, using the example from above.

Issues with your AFC reviews

 * Research Project -- self evident.
 * 1st Cavalry Division (German Empire) was actually referenced . I moved the ref inline.
 * Articles for creation/The American Psychological Association's Stance on Repressed Memories -- do you actually mean it is unreferenced? It uses WP:CITE. Or are you unhappy with the level of referencing? The important parts, APA committee decisions, are actually well referenced and should probably be merged into the main article.

Regards. Have mörser, will travel (talk) 08:17, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * First, I can't see (as it's deleted). Second, yep, I didn't spot that reference. Third, I meant what I said, "Not well-enough referenced", ie that the references are insufficient, and I gave direct specific examples of facts that I could not verify - possibly they are covered by the references at the end of the paragraph? I have no problem if you wish to merge it, or accept it, of course.  Chzz  ► 08:22, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * 1st one was moved to Guardian Angels for a Smarter Life. The redirect was deleted thereafter as it was pointless. Have mörser, will travel (talk) 08:28, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see what you mean (I think) - it says I moved Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Research Project "Guardian Angels for a Smarter Life" to Research Project: - which, yes, is very odd; sorry; some error with the 'accept' in the script, I think. Apologies.  Chzz  ► 08:29, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * For the 3rd one, I'll suggest to the creator to merge that section, and possibly the history one too, after improvements. The issue is that the main article uses footnoted refs, and I don't feel like reformatting either myself... Have mörser, will travel (talk) 08:31, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Dear Chzz,

Thanks for th welcoming email! :-)

I added a contribution (my first and maybe last...but I love Wikipedia as a user so much - it has realy changed my life and enriched it). I added a reference to my contribution, but maybe not properly - could you please help me correct what ever it is at all you think needs corrections to my contribution? I would be grateful - kindly note that Vladimir Kafka is mentioned in other Wikipedia links, yet has no definition - so I think my contribution will be helpfull - maybe later on, we can connect this definition to the places in Wikipedia where he is mentioned - ot maybe it is done automaticaly?

Dewey Larson Article
Dewey B. Larson Hi Chzz. I was wondering how much you actually looked at this article. Notability requires one source of significant coverage. This article shows Larson's work was reviewed by none other than Isaac Asimov and Discover magazine. Why don't you think this is "significant?" Doug (talk) 11:10, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Re. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Dewey B. Larson
 * Do the sources actually contain substantial information about this person?
 * I was unable to locate any reliable sources anywhere on the internet which have any information about this person. Is there anywhere we can verify any information about him - such as the date of birth that is given, or where he lived, or where he was educated? Almost all of the article seems to consist of brief mentions of something he wrote; do any of the sources have anything more than a mention of his name? I was also unable to find any appropriate source that discussed any of his work.
 * With regards to the last paragraph, do any of those last three references actually mention this person at all, or is it just inferring the possible later implications of his work?  Chzz  ► 11:27, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Addendum: I'll undo my edit, so that it'll be put back into the queue, and another reviewer can take a look. Of course, you may continue to edit it - and it would be very helpful to add further evidence of notability. Best of luck,  Chzz  ► 02:25, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

KentHoltorf Edits help
Chzz- I have edited the article Kent Holtorf on my user page where you had it restored but would like you to look at it before I "save" it and it goes live. Can you do that and let me know if it is better this time? Zoeyeve (talk) 19:17, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * From a brief look, it seems largely OK - much more 'neutral'. One small thing I noted was the sentence has been the subject of criticism online and in the media for several years for his promotion of controversial diagnostic methods and. He has been an advocate of bioidentical hormones, which has been labeled at times as quack medicine. - it doesn't have a direct reference, and I'm concerned about calling someone a "quack" without an explicit source.
 * Of course, when reviewed properly, whoever reviews it might have other concerns - but I think it's worth submitting it. Best of luck,  Chzz  ► 11:39, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Chzz! I added a source for that sentence. And I clicked 'save'. Does that make it live, since you restored it to my Userpage? Or do I need to submit it still another way? Thanks for all your help! Zoeyeve (talk) 18:35, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi.
 * No, it's not automatically an actual live article; it's still in 'userspace' (ie, prefixed with 'User:') so it will not show up in Google search or the wiki search-box.
 * Because it was deleted before, I think you should ask the person who tagged it for deletion and/or the admin who moved it to userspace to see if they'll move it back - that'd be and/or.
 * I notice you've replied to some of Pesky's comments on User talk:Zoeyeve/Kent Holtorf but that user might not notice the reply - it'd be best to put a not on user talk page, User talk:ThatPeskyCommoner, so that they're alerted. Best of luck,  Chzz  ►  07:31, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Board International
I appreciate your feedback regarding the page for creation "Board International", I just wanted to inquire as to why the references I hvae won't suffice. Gartner is absolutely a reliable, third party source (Gartner Magic Quadrant for BI and CPM suites)as well as the manufacturuer, and BARC (BI Survey 9 & 10). Do these not apply? If so, why not? Any feedback I can get would be much appreciated it.Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpratt1 (talk • contribs) 20:06, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi. Re. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/BOARD International
 * I'm sorry, I should have been clearer in the 'decline' note. My concern was that a large proportion of the references are not independent of the company - ie, there's board.com itself, a press-release on 'highbeam', and another labelled "PR" on 'redorbit'. I'm not sure if the article on information-management.com is PR, but it looks likely, given the tone of it. The link to pressleleasepoint.com  doesn't seem to be working for me, but clearly that's also going to be a non-independent source too. BARC is, I believe, a service that companies can pay in order to be listed (correct me if I am wrong) - which again would come under the 'non-independent' umbrella.
 * We can use sources such as press-releases, but with care, and as long as the article is not primarily based upon them; that was my underlying concern with it.
 * I'd be quite happy to put it back for a fresh review, and get someone else to help with it - but possibly, you might want to work on the issues I've commented on here, and then resubmit it yourself when ready. It at all possible, I suggest you add some facts referenced to newspaper articles that aren't PR, which thus offer neutral information about the company.
 * I hope that helps. I apologize that I did not give enough detail originally, and I reiterate that you have a reasonable point that it does have some independent reliable sources - so, I'm quite happy to remove the 'decline' if you want. Best of luck,  Chzz  ► 13:00, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi and Help?
Hi Chzz. You have a good sense of humor, and I enjoyed my chat with you and the others. My article keeps getting rejected because I can't prove Barbara is notable enough. Or so it seems. What in heaven's name does a woman have to do to be important enough to have a Wikipedia article about her? She did all the things Irving did and he has an article, and she did many other things... Is there any way you can help me make it work? Thank you again, Songcat 67.142.173.20 (talk) 21:49, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Barbara Hall (artist)
 * Hi. Please always remember to log in when you edit, and please link to pages you're asking about - it's really hard to guess which article/s you are asking about, when all I can see is an IP address and 'Barbara'! I know we spoke not long ago, but I've looked at lots of other pages since then. Anyway, I found it, by looking under the 'SongCat' account.
 * There's a lot of problems with the article; it's hard to review, because of the lack of inline references, and the long list of references at the end. We really need direct, specific, inline references so that we can tell where facts can be checked. For example, her date and place of birth - it should have a &lt;ref> REFERENCE &lt;/ref> directly after those facts. The same throughout. See WP:REFB.
 * OK -- Songcat (talk) 16:27, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, it has lots of non-neutral claims and lanugage - for example, it says a unique group in Vermont - who says it is unique? John Hall died, evidently of the Spanish Influenza - evident to whom?
 * Well, family history... does it count for anything? --Songcat (talk) 17:14, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * OK will try to fix. Songcat (talk) 16:27, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * But the main point, as always, is the referencing - that's what needs work. We need to see solid evidence that there is verifiable information about this individual. References to Irving Fiske which do not actually mention Barbara Hall are not helpful.
 * What about the Lambiek article etc.?? Songcat (talk) 16:27, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll add help on referencing on your own user-talk page (ie, User talk:Songcat - so please log in!). Best of luck,  Chzz  ► 13:14, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello Chazz, I appreciate your feedback. I thought I was actually logged in. I spent most of yesterday trying to make this article work, but it seems it may be impossible. There are a number of sources, which I have cited (and I can put them in the correct format, with enough practice, I imagine-- such as Lambiek Comicopedia website-- that are about Barbara Hall. Also The Great Women Comics, by Trina Robbins, Workman, 2008. But there are not a huge number of sources that mention one of the pair without the other. Barbara, like most women of her generation, a) had children and was busy doing that, b) did not have as public a life as Irving, c) had a nervous breakdown that took a chunk out of her life (I dont' intend to mention this, as I said yesterday). Who says Quarry Hill was unique? There are a number of books, articles. and websites,at the bottom of the article, that speak of the unusual quality of Quarry Hill. The part that baffles me is that if QHCC and Irving Fiske can have articles on Wikipedia, and Barbara Hall helped create QHCC, why can this not be enough? IF this is not enough, why is her status as one of the last living female cartoonists of the WWII era not important? How would YOU phrase a sentence about Barbara that would clarify these things? DO I have to put a reference right after a claim like "QHCC is unique?" I will try to learn from the tutorial, but the best thing would be if you or 28 BYtes (who helped before) or someone else could help. The articles on QHCC and Irving got in there (I wrote the first drafts) so it must be possible for me to write one. Thanks, Songcat (talk) 13:51, 27 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Re. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Barbara Hall (artist)
 * I think you've since spoken to others, but... I see you'd added some inline refs, but they weren't showing up - I've fixed that, and I made a few other minor edits to fix formatting.
 * So, it now has some inline references - if you could add more, so that it is clear where all the info comes from, that will help. Best of luck with it,  Chzz  ► 07:42, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Songcat (talk) 16:39, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Chzz. I'm going to keep working on it as time and energy allow. Jessamyn West (I don't know her Wikiname) said she would help me as much as possible when she returns from a trip soon. She's pretty busy though so any other help people can give is great. I'll try to make clear where it all comes from, but question: What if I do not have, and can not obtain (easily-- I live in the flooded, ravaged mts. of Vermont) the page numbers? Thanks Chzz. Songcat (talk) 16:15, 29 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Page numbers aren't essential. Obviously, it makes it hard for others to later check things - but they're not a requirement (except for the higher article ratings). Of course, it does beg the question how you know the info is in the book, if you don't have access to it ;-) but, we always assume good faith around here; as long as you can assure us the info comes from a specific published book, that will suffice.
 * I guess you're referring to Jessamyn West (librarian) - apparently her Wikipedia user ID is.
 *  Chzz  ► 16:24, 29 October 2011 (UTC)



Hi Chzz. Yes, that's the right Jessamyn. I know that this info is in these books because I've spent my whole life (well recent years, anyway) working on a memoir about my weird family and the people we have known (Allen Ginsberg, R. Crumb, etc.) so have seen them. It's just organizing the info, esp. after the floods and living far from a big city (I live in the hills far away from anything that could be described as "civilization") that makes it hard. If need be I can find the page #s but it would be nice not to have to do it at the present. Am writing a freelance article and am very occupied in other ways. (The 99% are outside my window...oh no!) I will try to follow your advice. How do I insert an image from Wikimedia commons in here-- like a beer? Tx Songcat (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:34, 29 October 2011 (UTC).
 * Actually, I fixed the image I think you intended to put - so it should be showing up now, somewhere on the right.
 * The code is;


 * But, there's actually an easier way of giving a beer, or whatever - you should have a little red heart-symbol ❤ near the top-right of the screen - which is an easy way to do it.
 * And regards "Lambiek" - or any other article - most articles on Wikipedia need fixing (or deleting), but it's not an excuse to add to the problem. Some were created a long time ago; others may have simply slipped through the net so far - so, referring to another article isn't a good argument; if you want better example articles, look in WP:FA and WP:GA.


 * The article certainly does not have to be perfect to be accepted - but the idea of the review process is to help make it unlikely to be deleted. If information is unreferenced, anyone can remove it at any time (WP:V). Also, having well-referenced information makes it easier to spot vandalism - because if there are no references, and someone inserts some false information, we cannot tell which parts are correct.  Chzz  ► 16:58, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. But the Lambiek article is the only one of its kind referring to Barbara Hall as an artist/Cartoonist, though The Great Women Cartoonists (Robbins, Workman, 2008) surely does in spades. So... I should not use the Lambiek/Comicopedia article? It's an important source as it pertains to Barb's importance to cartoonists... I think.

Thanks for cleanup but I am baffled as to why you added a ref improve tag. The population is referenced, there is no need for another source.11:36, 1 November 2011 (UTC) -
 * All articles require multiple sources; see WP:GNG, WP:ONESOURCE.  Chzz  ► 11:38, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, when I've taken my articles to GA I've actually had to remove double/triple references for each fact. Given that they only contain one fact it be redundant. If there was unsourced material then it would be appropriate, Besides, there are no other sites which have population on Benin settlements, I'm lucky to get the data.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:42, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Then there is too little information to support an article.  Chzz  ► 11:47, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Show me a guideline which backs up what you say in regards to new articles. I'm sure you'll find for geographical places that verification and a population figure is acceptable as a start. Of course the Expand tag would make sense, but that of course was depcrecated!!♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:53, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I did mention the GNG guideline above, which says Multiple sources are generally expected with a further explanatory footnote; in addition, various policies and guidelines use the plural form sources - but to move away from the wiki-politicking for a moment, I'd like to try and describe the specific problem;
 * I thought I'd try to help patrol some new pages. In doing so, I'm assessing any problems with the article, and trying to suggest what needs fixing. Now...just for a moment, let's put aside the fact that that one is a geographical place: if I come across an article with only a single source, it's a concern - and I've seen plenty of such articles in the queue. I need to check if the subject is 'notable', to ensure we're adding valid information. I tried searching for further information on that place, and didn't find any mention in any books - and that's what bothers me. I totally accept that there is an RS showing it, but RS's do make mistakes - and that is the one of the main reasons for insisting on, at the very least, more than one.
 * Are we absolutely sure that "Lougba" is a town, as such? Maybe it was in 2002; maybe that's changed? Maybe it's been renamed or merged - or, maybe it was just a typo of another place.
 * I did have a look, and one probably-not-reliable-source shows weather/location info...but, notice that on the map there, I cannot even see a place with that name.
 * Now - back to the 'geographic places' thing; I don't really understand this notion of 'inherent notability' for schools and places - it seems odd to me; my own kitchen is a 'geographic place' but I doubt that would be accepted as notable (even if it was mentioned in the news). But, the concept of geo-being-notable seems to be current consensus, so OK, fair enough, I accept that. So I wouldn't tag such an article for deletion - as I would if it were e.g. a company, or some software, or a person.
 * But that does cause me a problem with the patrolling; what can I do, to indicate the concern? I suppose I could have put instead of, possibly? How about, if you are creating more/similar articles, you just include  in them... or is that silly, to create articles with such tags?
 * Or... if there is only one reference and just a population, then wouldn't it be better to make redirects to an appropriate article on "Places in the Collines department" or something?
 * It'd be really useful if you could go back over other similar articles, and try to add another source or at least mark 'em up as appropriate - because I'm seeing an awful lot of these articles within the NPP backlog, so it just makes lots of work for others.  Chzz  ► 12:38, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Pop
P.S. where on the given website can I actually check the population data?  Chzz  ► 12:42, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

OK, so, I searched the domain and found it mentioned in this PDF. But, that's the population for the arrondissement, yes? So, not necessarily the town - because the arrondissement might include several towns?

Also, can you let me know where you get the date for the census, of "February 15, 2002"?  Chzz  ► 12:46, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Date of census obtained from here. As to you PLaces in Collines Department request. Population is for the whole arrondisement, this is made clear in the articles. We have articles on tiny hamlets in UK and USA, why shouldn't we have articles which are the equivalent to the county where you live? most arrondisements have a main town named after the arrondisement. I did actually propose that List of populated places in a table format were created by country using the geonames database/government sources if they exist. Nobody is willing to run a bot. I did propose that long ago and redirect articles until there is enough information. As to the thou must not create an article if it is below GA class and "stubs are unacceptable" way of thinking I suggest you read my user page. I'd agree that that would be the best wikipedia. But in order to do so we'd have to remove all stubs and poor articles from the website and only accept them in the mainspace once fully written. As the foundation and generally people like its size and messy approach to encyclopedia building then you can't really complain about my stubbing approach to building. Believe me I'd rather the whole website would only accept quality articles than have been assessed. But if I don't create stubs then scores of others will continue to do so on a daily basis and the site will continue to be a mess. You and I have always been on good terms to my knowledge and seen eye to eye on certain issues and I'd agree with you that a proper more professional encyclopedia would only accept fully well written and sourced articlesm but wikipedia unfortunately does not entail that. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:29, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

I am not, and never would, complain about your 'stubbing' - as long as the info can be checked out.  Chzz  ► 13:38, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the date. I'm not convinced that that means that the census was actually conducted on that one day though.
 * I do not, of course, expect every new article to be GA-class. All I ask is, that it meets be basic, most-important, requirement: significant coverage in independent reliable sources. I am absolutely in favour of including just about anything, as long as it has that. And there's no getting away from the need for sourceS.
 * "tiny hamlets in UK and USA" - you know better than to make WP:OTHERSTUFF arguments.
 * You also know better than to argue that "if I don't do it, someone else will". Scores of people in my home town throw rubbish on the ground - so, I might as well, too - because it'll always be a mess anyway?
 * As to town/arrondissement - OK, the pop is the latter, that is reasonably clear. But where, then, is confirmation that "Lougba is a town"?

Systemic
I am absolutely committed to countering our US/UK-centric systemic bias. I assure you that I would be treating this stub in exactly the same way if it were a place in one of those countries. However - for right or wrong - it is one hell of a lot easier to find sources for any pissant hamlet in the UK than it is for much larger places in developing countries. Whilst I will battle equality on all occasions, the simple fact is that, if we don't have info from verifiable sources, that dilutes the quality of Wikipedia. We have many thousands of articles on geo places outside the "Global North"I hate that term, but it's hard to think of better which have no references at all. Some of them are, no doubt, a collection of about ten houses - and the people living in those houses probably each spell the place-name in a different way. Iff there was coverage in RS, then I would be delighted to have articles on each and every one - with redirects from all the alternate spellings too. And yes, we have thousands unref'd about US/UK, too. And those all need fixing too.  Chzz  ► 13:54, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Erm. Pissant? I checked my OED and n. 1. an Ant does not explain it. Esp. etym. "2000 Dallas Observer (Nexis) 12 Oct., [He] couldn't get a crowd to watch a piss ant eat a bale of hay." but then neither does the simile 2. "... drunk as a pissant". Oh wait. It's a tautology. Pissant hamlet is small small. I get it. Incidentally, if I recall correctly, there is an article on a 2 sqmi UK place near me with at least 128 WP:RS's so it can be done :) --Senra (Talk) 22:52, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * By 'pissant' I just meant 'insignificant', and by 'hamlet' I meant some place that is smaller than a town. An insignificant little place.  Chzz  ► 07:44, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Lougba satellite view.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:00, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, but, what I'm really struggling with here is, there is no indication on that map that that place is "Lougba"! I mean, look - it's right next to ChzzTown! Throw me a frickin' bone here.  Chzz  ► 14:04, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Look, ultimately I am not getting paid for my work here. I don't have to edit a single article or contribute a single little thing. I do have other interests believe it or not and my time would probably better spent developing my skills in other hobbies. So its a bit of a cheek for you to give orders if I'm being honest with you. But you'll find thousands of settlements on google maps not marked with names. Iran for instance many which Carlos starts are not actually written on the map but you can see the towns. Bing however often has a better labelling, its marked as such here. I could simply drop the "town" and leave it as arrondissement of course... How about I try to find the settlement on a map and coordinates but if I can't I'll drop the town part OK? ♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:01, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Worth while remembering it's some of t'wiki consensus-built policies etc. you're each pissed off about, not each other, really. Like they say: "I didn't make the world, I just try to live in it!" Pesky ( talk  …stalk!) 16:20, 1 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you think I get paid, or something? I've spent most hours of most days for the past few years editing Wikipedia. Whilst arguing with you about this, I was simultaneously helping a nice guy in Pakistan with very limited English-skills, who wanted to write an article; I was trying to teach him the importance of referencing - hence after several hours, we progressed from to.
 * But if experienced users like yourself are creating hundreds of poorly-referenced articles, how does that look to the new users? So maybe I am the one that should flounce off and say "oh, what's the point?"
 * We've looked at just one of the articles you made, and it began Lougba is a town and arrondissement... - and now, after considerable efforts, we've decided that we can't actually tell if it is a town. Does that not demonstrate why one single line in one single source isn't a great basis for an article?
 * As to Iranian settlements... please stop using 'other stuff' arguments.
 * I'm really not terribly impressed if a place is or is not marked on a map - I only mentioned maps because at least it'd be some indication that the place (as a town) exists - ie, it'd give me a little more confidence. But the simple reality is...it does need more references than just a Place...Population entry in one list.  Chzz  ► 08:39, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I wish I got paid! It's a real shame when some of our allegedly-reliable sources can't actually be truly relied upon.  As far as sources go, within reason, the more the merrier.  It does avoid the possibility of relying on one source which turns out to be mistaken (making us all look a bit silly!)  Pesky  ( talk  …stalk!) 08:51, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

The Sims 3 artucke qustion reply
In to the response to your reply post on my talk page, I was refering to the Neighborhood articles on The Sims Wiki, such as Sunset Valley, Riverview, Barnacle Bay, Hidden Springs, Bridgeport, Twinbrook, and the latest neighborhood which is some horse name with Plains in The Sims 3: Pets, and The Sims Wiki has individual articles for each neighborhood, however, since these are in=game products being introduced in the game, I suggest having a separate article dealing with The Sims (series) franchise games of neighborhoods. Meaning as there would be a page, like The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 Stuff Packs and List of The Sims (series) games as an example, for the listings of all neighborhoods in the game. Just a suggestion but would like some feedback towards this idea. And secondly, I did a minor update on The Sims 3 Stuff Packs with a confirmed Stuff Pack name that has little to no information but did placed a reference tag to it that is found on the main article in the stuff pack listings. Is this wise to have this done prior to the actual press release from Electronic Arts? If not, then I propose protecting the page until further notice is out for this release; this includes the stuff pack article as well.

Query, general, IP talk page archive proposal
Since I've been observing the shared IP talk page archive proposal and you appear, may I post a query to you?

It all seems an excellent idea, but what I was wondering is this: will this assist in helping innocent IPs from being blamed for something the last guy with that IP had done? It's happened to me, and I could only reply that I was not vandalising.

It seems to me, anyway, that this proposal is good. There is the part about stale warnings and things - what a blessing if they could be safely removed. Someone even asked about "nuking" them all at once!Djathinkimacowboy (talk) 21:41, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

3RR warning on my talk.
The IP that I have repeatedly reverted is a persistent vandal, he she is pushing a Catalan separatist POV on List of amateur radio organizations. It is not my fault that I am the only editor interested in defending the integrity of that article. I have in fact just posted a request for help on the Help page to get the article semi-protected. I know from experience (I'm not a newbie, I've been here since 2007 and have logged over 8000 edits) that reporting IPs to AIV is a total waste of time, thus my request for semi-protection. Roger (talk) 17:05, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
 * AIV deals mostly with straight up vandalism, but I wouldn't say that reporting them after due warning is a waste of time. Semi-protection and protection in general are measures best avoided if possible, specifically, policy advise to proceed with blocks rather than protections if possible. While indeed, the addition of a separate row for an autonomous region of Spain seems inconsistent with the way the article is structured, it's better to engage in discussion rather than a revert war.

Please undo your (non-admin) closure of the ANI thread on Ludwigs2
A topic ban is being proposed there, and it has received !votes just yesterday. If it stays inactive, it will just be archived. A single admin cannot impose topic bans all by himself unless discretionary sanctions have been approved by ArbCom or the community for the topic. The article on Muhammad does not seem to fall in that category, so community consensus needs to be established before any topic ban can be imposed. I and others noted in the ANI thread that Ludwigs2 was topic banned from astrology following similar behavior. However, astrology does fall under an ArbCom case, so a single admin was able to enact that ban at WP:AE. It is rather unlikely that a RfC/U will produce any results in this case. Also, you closure comment seemed rather snotty to me, especially your lecture about the necessity of diffs given that there was a section with diffs in the discussion.
