Disagreement with User:Nickthearmenian12 on Hampar Kelikian (doctor)

Disagreement with User:Nickthearmenian12 on Hampar Kelikian (doctor)
I am not trying to be rude, but if wikipedia is not worried about it then you shouldn't be either. It is not your place in my opinion to tell me what I am doing wrong if that is the case then I will try to fix that but you are the only one that is giving me problems. I would appreciate it if you would stop, im curious if you even know who Hampar Kelikian is, that is before you read what I had. That quote is of significant value to the article. If you can help me arrange the quote to a smaller form but with all the info I will change it but if you aren't then it is going back up. Nickthearmenian12 (talk) 09:16, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Redirect of Craig Biddle Page
Dear Corvis, Thank you for the time you invest in contributing to/enhancing Wikipedia. While I also enjoy making contributions, unfortunately family, work, and grad school prevent me from putting much time into this endeavor or getting proficient at it. Thus, for this entry, I informally agreed to collaborate with someone else: I was to spend some time creating the initial entry and then later this week another person was going to expand/enhance it. I had warned my friends that there was an informal cadre of expert volunteers who ensure that the existence of an entry is justified and meets basic standards, so I asked them to make additions promptly. But I didn't realize how quickly you would act. With your assistance, I would like to put the entry back in place, perhaps in a week or so when I have accumulated enough Bio material so that it meets the Wikipedia standards from the get-go. I appreciate your fixing the capitalization of the last name. I made that mistake when I initially searched for the entry and then said "create." After that, I could not see how to fix it through a Move, because the system does not distinguish page Foo from page foo (so the Move is blocked). Perhaps you can enlighten me on how it is possible to make such a page title correction. Sincerely, DavidinVA (talk) 02:01, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Disagreement with User:Robert.chave on Susan Hurley (composer)
Hi Corvis,

I seem to have gotten off on the wrong footing with you, which I regret.

The piece on Susan Hurley (composer) is not wholly complete and I am still working, moving away from lists of facts into the preferred Wiki "article" format. However I think that it is very greatly improved from where you and I first started, and we are now in a normal user mode. Do you want to keep Disagreement with User:Robert.chave on Susan Hurley (composer) open or not? I think that the issues you bring up in this have substantially been addressed.

Any thoughts?

Best,

Sir, as you can see on my user page I announced that I am suffering from autism. This does not stop me from leading a relatively productive and happy life, but I would appreciate a little less combativeness from you. I have never been stalking you and I could just as well accuse you of "stalking" me via my "Anal Sex with Sluts" article that I wrote recently. I had only posted a fraction of the material before you summarily deleted it.

I decided to decline your speedy nom of this article. He appears to have a fairly substantial publication history (125 articles that he was author/co-author if I remember correctly). I make no claim that he is particularly notable, only that speedy doesn't seem to be appropriate. If you are still concerned about his notability, AfD would be the next step but you know that I think. Cheers, Pigman ☿ 06:52, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've put it up for AfD since my search revealed little beyond mentions and calendar listings for talks. Maybe he's made more of a splash in his field than I can tell. I admit my academic sources search skills are not particularly good. I mean, he's obviously written papers but their significance isn't obvious. Pigman ☿ 18:51, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

The citations by the sources listed seem to establish notability, especially given that it is widely used in the industry and has broken at least one major story.

The Copyright Issue that you raise
You ask me how I am the copyright holder for the Riverside poster of 1982. In 1982, I, under the graphic design name of Willy Mac, designed this poster for the season of plays for Riverside Shakespeare Company of NYC. The permission to use the Chandos portrait of Shakespeare, (which, I note, is in the Wikipedia Commons), was given by the National Gallery of London. This information is on the right hand side of the poster, running vertically to the right of the portrait. The poster was printed by Seamen's Bank, in New York City. Weimar03 (talk) 02:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * To answer your question: Because Riverside dispanded about twelve years ago as a not-for-profit (theatre) company, and because I was not compensated for my graphic/photographic work while I was associated with that theatre company, I interpret both conditions as meaning that I now hold the copyright for the photos I took and the graphics I designed; at the same time, those graphics and/or photos that I created and now own - which I have placed on the Wikipedia site for the Riverside Shakespeare Company - I now am permitting others to use (through Wikipedia), with the appropriate credit line. At the time of the Shakespeare poster I used the name Willy Mac on my graphics, though now a credit to my full name, W. Stuart McDowell, would be appropriate.

Cash Luna
Hello I'm creating the article of Pastor Cash Luna to link to the article "Casa de Dios". Pastor Cash Luna is prominent in the pentecostal Christian world. His church, Casa de Dios, is attended by almost 20,000 people in Guatemala, and he is aired in Enlace TBN and Daystar in the USA and Latin America. You can check the external links in Casa de Dios to see the website of the ministry and the programming in TBN. You can google him too if you wish. I just began creating the article, and I'm still gathering sources. Thanks Vh4x (talk) 04:10, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Cash Luna's sources
Website of the ministry: and in English Schedule in TBN Enlace USA, a major Christian network: in the programs "Casa de Dios" and "Noches de Gloria" at 8:00, 18:30 and 21:00 Eastern Time Mon-Fri Newspaper article: from Prensa Libre, Guatemala's major newspaper. The article is about more than 45000 attending an activity he organized recently this year. Similar numbers of people attend these activities in all Latin America and recently in the United States too Newspaper article: Newspaper article: with the Guatemalan president this year. Casa de Dios is no small ministry. It would be among the top 10 churches in the USA.  Vh4x (talk) 04:45, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Reliable sources
Ok, I understand =). It was my mistake to begin working on the article while not having ready the online sources. Do my sources have to be all online? Because I don't have many online sources readiliy available about his biography, only written ones. I'm too in favor of having verifiable and reliable sources, and I don't want to create poor content. I just wanted to create the article after seeing the size and influence of the curch and the lack of information about Cash Luna on Wikipedia. I'll remove the hangon so you can delete it. Thanks for your observation, I'll make sure to get everything together together before creating the article next time. God bless, Vh4x (talk) 05:20, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

That entry wasn't me - seems to be some new editors who are cutting up the AfD. The comment you questioned was made by User:Antialiasing. Him and User:Palmfreak have made little or no contributions outside this AfD. I think someone's trying to sock the system. That and the IP edit seem very strange to me. Added to the fact that User:Shedletsky has made few edits outside of the AfD'd article makes me feel very suspicious about all of this. Gazimoff Write Read 23:17, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Trey Lewis Image
i listed a fair use on it and you state on the copyright page "Not a fair use image, the subject is still alive and can be photographed". Now, the image was used in the article to illustrate trey lewis tearing his acl. you claim he is still living. It's not that often that a defensive tackle tears his ACL during a game and gets it photographed. and besides, i havn't been able to find any free images of him yet and I'm not going to go all the way to a falcons game just to get a crappy far away shot of him. the current images are sourced in there entirety and are very good shots of him, becuase they are professional shots. Unless wikipedia gives out press passes to NFL games, i think the image should be untagged as a copyright vio. due to the fair use. [ LukeTheSpook ] | [ t c r ] 23:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

WAYN
Are you referring to the editing war? This person is slightly silly. First of all there is section Criticism in this article which describes in more neutral words what this guy says: during registration process (and within the site) there is an option to check who of your friends is part of WAYN community by importing your address book from hotmail, gmail, outlook and others. Once u do it you have an option to invite selected friends to WAYN. This is completely optional and you can select/unselect any number of your friends or simply skip this step.

Your edits to the page, such as the removal of the staff and schedule, were completely unnecessary.

Yeah, I go to the school, and the staff is important, and there are no students even listed on the page, so read harder next time.

Poe's Brother
Hi Corvus, I saw your AfD nom of the William Henry Leonard Poe article. You mentioned that the speedy tag was improperly removed, which probably just referred to the times it was removed by User:Corpus1. I ultimately declined the speedy nom though, and just wanted to point out that this was, I think, the appropriate action. CSD#A7 notes that "to avoid speedy deletion an article does not have to prove that its subject is notable, just give a reasonable indication of why it might be notable." In this case I felt there was clearly some indication of possible notability given that the fellow was apparently discussed in some books. Taking it to AfD was wholly appropriate of course, although I think I'm going to weigh in on the keep side over there. Anyhow just wanted to point out that, in my view at least, an article like this will generally need to be AfD'd rather than speedied.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 06:34, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

In regards to the speedy deletion of Team Fremont Live
Hey, I saw you put this page up for speedy deletion, and I wanted to get your thoughts on the page. Do you feel as though the sources provided don't lend the page enough credibility? I just wanted to know why you put it up, and get your thoughts on what could be done to improve the page. Thanks! Rwiggum (talk) 21:16, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I have a few thoughts;


 * 1) "Team Fremont" is simply the name of the website, not an actual team. The site itself is pretty much based around the podcast, so the site is basically summed up within the podcast page itself.
 * 2) Technically, the self-published "sources" are simply referring to specific events pertaining to the podcast itself. They are there to verify the information contained within the article, and not to provide notability. However, the podcast's notability is backed up by several notable sources including Joystiq, Engadget, and Kotaku. Moreover, this should refute your claims that the page does not include any reliable sources.
 * 3) Your last complaint was one that I found somewhat puzzling. Just because it can be difficult to determine whether or not a subject is notable should not be a reason for deletion. Rwiggum (talk) 21:36, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * What type of sources do you define as "reliable?" I believe that in regards to a video-game centric podcast, reputable sources such as Kotaku, Joystiq, (two of the largest video game news sources on the internet) and Engadget (one of the major online sources for news regarding consumer technology) would be considered "reliable". Rwiggum (talk) 21:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, for one you could check the Wikipedia pages for the sites themselves: Joystiq, Kotaku, and Engadget. Joystiq and Engadget are both owned by Weblogs, Inc., and Kotaku is part of the Gawker Media Group. Rwiggum (talk) 21:58, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I wasn't talking about Gawker.com, but rather the Gawker Media Group. Kotaku's editor-in-chief Brian Crecente has been known for trying to uphold a certain degree of credibility and integrity in regards to reporting. The site is certainly notable, and according to the Alexa rankings, it's the 625th most-visited site in the nation. Engadget is #382. Rwiggum (talk) 22:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bring this up again, but looking at the Guidelines for Speedy Deletion, the ONLY criteria the page could meet states: "An article about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from questions of verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability; to avoid speedy deletion an article does not have to prove that its subject is notable, just give a reasonable indication of why it might be notable." Therefore, I do not believe the page itself qualifies for deletion, under the pretenses you gave. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rwiggum (talk • contribs) 23:08, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that also states "This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion as an article about web site, blog, web forum, webcomic, podcast, browser game, or similar web content that does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject." The significance is stated in the article, and there are numerous reputable sources to back them up. Rwiggum (talk) 23:55, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

You may find this interesting as it mimics the formatting used on recentchanges and one's watchlist. Let me know if there are any bugs in it.

Deletion of Team Fremont Live
You're right, they don't talk about the site, because the page isn't REFERRING to the site, but the podcast. The podcast itself is notable. I don't know if you have some kind of fucking vendetta against it or what, but I've provided PLENTY of reason why it should stay. As I said before, I don't have to prove that the site IS notable, but only provide reasons for why it could be CONSIDERED notable. It's apparent to me that you aren't very involved in the gaming community, so maybe the impact of some of this stuff is lost on you. Either way, I've already given reason enough why it should be kept. Rwiggum (talk) 22:11, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Wait, so now your reason is because "you haven't heard of it?" That sounds like fucking bullshit to me, frankly. How's this; One of the sources on the page was from 1up.com. This is by far one of the leading sources of gaming journalism on the internet. Not only does it encompass Electronic Gaming Monthly, but also The 1UP Show, Games for Windows: The Official Magazine and the 1UP Radio Network. Even if you don't want to acknowledge the sources from Engadget, Kotaku, and Joystiq, I don't see how you can deny this one. This is about as "reliable" as gaming journalism gets. Also, what would you consider a "reliable" source? They aren't about to appear in Time Magazine, and 1Up is about as high as this kind of thing usually goes. Once again, I only have to prove the podcast can be percieved as notable. I DON'T have to prove that it IS notable for it to stay. Rwiggum (talk) 22:20, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * "WP:AGF. I never heard of this podcast until yesterday. Provide reliable sources, and this will all be fine.

Elizabeth Gilels
Corvus, your removal of the Gilels / Kogan dynasty was absolutely  unnecessary, and  at this point you are committing vandalism (since it is the second time). I have made my reason(s) self explanatory in the entry.

It seems that you are not familiar with the Dynasty of this eminent violinist whose husband is legendary Leonid Kogan, whose brother is the eminent pianist Emil Gilels. Their children are carrying on the tradition. If that is not a family history, I don't know what is. Please stop deleting valuable information regarding this family, otherwise it is blatant vandalism on your part. We are trying to expand wikipedia. If you look and see the amount of entries I have made, you will notice that  I have expanded the music section along with the luthier section(s) a great deal. The information I contribute, is quite relevant to the article(s). Please respect that.Milliot (talk) 19:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Elizabeth Gilels
Corvus, I notice that you are not an administrator.

If you are a commited wiki contributor, you would see how much I have contributed. And calling my article sneaky is rather adolescent of you.

The dynasty of Leonid Kogan and his wife Elizabeth Gilels, is an important one in the music world. Leonid Kogan is described in all of the history books, and encyclopedias as a legendary violinist.

His wife is from the same circles and is considered an important violinist and one of the great pedagogues of the Soviet School. Her teacher ABRAM ILICH YAMPOLSKY is a world renowned pedagogue of the Soviet School of Violin. Who's students went on to become legendary.

These figures of the music world have earned the right to these titles. Every known book mentions them in these terms. If you have issues, look them up to confirm your reservations. But please, stop belittling the legendary musicians and pedagogues by taking out the superlatives that they have earned in history. Would you call Einstein just a Scientist?

MerciMilliot (talk) 22:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

"You will note that I have made no claims about the notability of the subject of the article, Elizabeth Gilels. If you think that there are reliable sources to prove the notability of her descendants, then they should be in separate articles for each of them. If they don't meet notability standards, then stuffing them into an article about somebody else is, indeed, sneaky, and I stand by that. Corvus cornixtalk 22:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC)"

As I have stated earlier, if you are a commited wiki contributor, I encourage you to research and expand on those descendants. I believe that children of famous figures in history who follow in the same footsteps achieving similar heights and garner  accolades, truly define a dynasty started by their legendary forefathers (& mothers). There is no reason for you to be confrontational, as we both seem to enjoy wiki. I am doing my best to expand it. Please do the same Milliot (talk) 23:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, before blanking an article and making it a redirect, one should first seek a consensus. Secondly, it is hard for one to improve an article, if such an article does not exist.

Corvus cornix, not on the basis of any policy except for common sense - not criticising your work here. tagging for speedy, leaving a talk page message and an admin deleting is far more work than just blanking it.

Oh really.
Maybe you could explain just a wee bit better your endorsement here. It dodn't make a lot of sense to me, being, you know, inaccurate and all. What is your major issue with actually following IfD? If you oppose the image, you get to do so. IN IFD DISCUSSIONS. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  03:53, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I guess I was a little huffy, but I it is because you (and a few others) missed the point of the question. Admins don't get to overrule IfD discussions. In the case of a tie in discussions, the image stays. An admin doesn't impose their opinion and close/delete the image anyway. It is not about whether the image meets NFC#8 (which you and I both know is amorphous as hell and is abused mightily as such), thought he closing admin wants another bite at the apple, away from IfD. If he thinks it isn't appropriate, he is allowed to nominate the image and roll the dice. He doesn't get to use his admin tools to enforce his belief. The entire point of Wikipedia is that everyone's opinion has equal weight, and an admin using his tools to push his personal view is precisely the opposite of that. He didn't like the way the discussion went, so he decided to impose his interpretation of NFC. Never mistake my arguments regarding the image deletion to be about the actual image, (though there is nothing wrong with the image). We do not stifle debate and we do not negate consensus. and an admin who does that runs the risk of marginalizing serious editor input as non-consequential. This is what I take issue with. No one is the smartest person in the room at Wikipedia, and Nv seems to think he's got better judgment that the rest of us. It doesn't work like that. -  Arcayne   (cast a spell)  07:39, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, you are wrong. First of all, if I disagree with an admin, and a bunch of other admins run to defend them from the wacky editor, I am going to ask an admin to give me an honest assessment of the situation. Perhaps you do not understand what the term wheel war actually means, because if you did, you wouldn't be accusing me of it. Now who's being snippy?
 * Secondly, it is an opinion of the closing admin - and I guess you, who should have contributed to IfD, if you felt so strongly - that the image was incorrect. The debate was tied. In the case of a tie, the image, the article, the category stays. So it wasn't just me saying the image was fair use. There were two in favor of deletion, and two opposing (and the arguments for retention did NOT violate policy)- a tie. DRV isn't for arguing the matter in a more favorable forum for deletionists; it is for addressing problems with the deletion. The deletion was improperly done. If someone thinks the image sucks, the IfD is the place to do that. If you think it sucks, nominate it and and find a consensus for removal in the correct way - via IfD. . - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  07:52, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, the original question was to identify where policy says an admin has the authority to delete images despite a consensus to keep or tie, when all arguments are equal. The reason it wasn't answered is because that authority doesn't exist. In order to even try to, the arguments of the detractors have to be attacked. Most people do it in IfD as "comment" or simple discussion. Out admin here decided his opinion was more valuable that two others and deleted the image all by himself, stifling further debate. Please don't play semantical games with me when I am being candid and honest with you - it belittles us both. -  Arcayne   (cast a spell)  08:09, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Titus Andronicus (band)
I'm not sure what part of the article still needs to be verified. There are already references for nearly every phrase. Please explain on the talk page what you want references for. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 21:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * None of the sources are reliable? I didn't know that… But you'll have to forgive me if I'm not convinced; can you please explain why they are not reliable sources? − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 21:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Reviews are opinion, yes. But the reviews are only being used to verify the rating the LP received. The other two sources are used as sources for facts: The profile at Allmusic gives the year the band formed, and the Exclaim! interview explains where the band (obviously) got its name. Maybe what you would like to see in the article is additional information pertaining to the band, rather than more citations on the information already there. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 21:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The interview is not being used as a reference for anything contentious. We could leave that phrase unreferenced altogether—that the band's name was taken from the Shakespeare play—and I doubt anyone would ask for a reference. Where else could they possibly have gotten the name? The interview lends credence to fact that the band got its name from Shakespeare. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 21:58, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Removal of irrelevent and missleading info is not vanalism.
I removed the section because it does not belong in an encyclopedia. Rumor does not constitute fact even when published in a newspaper. The discussion about e-waste is not germain to Motorola or its operations. Classically, this would be referred to as a specious attack.

Your recent edit of Bramson ORT College removed reliably sourced material as well as an infobox. If there is any material that violates WP:COPYVIO, please specify where the material has been copied from and try to limit the deletions to only the material that is in violation of policy. I will be more than happy to try to assist in ensuring that any material reinserted conforms with Wikipedia copyright policy. Alansohn (talk) 05:40, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * As a suggestion, You may want to explain and justify your actions using the "edit summary" feature in the future, which may allow other editors to better understand the rationale behind your actions. More complete details justifying and explaianing the issues involved should be provided at the article's talk page. The stateuniversity.com link used to justify the WP:COPYVIO claim specifies that the "Summary content courtesy of Wikipedia". The site appears to have copied material from Wikipedia, not vice versa, nor does the source used to justify the copyvio match all of the material removed. I will also point out that your latest edit still removes reliably sourced material as well as an infobox. A clearer case of the exact details of the alleged copyvio needs to be made. Alansohn (talk) 05:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not question that stateuniversity.com is on the spam blacklist.

Stateuniversity.com appears to have copied material from Wikipedia, not vice versa, nor does the source used to justify the copyvio match all of the material removed. I will also point out that your latest edit still removes reliably sourced material as well as an infobox. Per WP:COPYVIO, a revert to a previous version should only be done if "all [emphasis in original] of the content of a page appears to be a copyright infringement".

Thanks for your contribution to this. As I mentioned on the talk page, I cannot figure out if this stuff is self-published or not, because I can't locate the publishing company on the Internet and ... well, I have no basis for this suspicion, but I have to say it just "smells" like self-publishing. I'm suspicious, but have nothing to go on. What's your take on this?

 * You're right, of course, it must be sourced. I think I'll wait to see if anything happens over the next couple of days before taking this any further... it seems clear (to me, at least) that there's an assertion of notability, and it's potentially of more use to the 'pedia than most of the things with which I seem to get involved, so I'm a tad reluctant to blow the whistle with no evidence.

Can I ask again why you want to delete this article?

Making a separate page is another option, actually, and it's the best option. I've never seen a university page that both looks nice and has a list of housing options on the main page. It would create a very cluttered looking section which would result in a separate page being created.

I never said you did. Nor did I say that my comment about not biting was directed at you. I said that it was for KidVibe. You weren't the only one. "User:Kidvibe appears to be a single-purpose account" was written. If that wasn't you, then it doesn't apply to you. However, if you read the entry about single-purpose accounts, it states that one of the problems with them is that they might have a conflict of interest. If you don't feel that you bit KidVibe, then I guess you feel that my comment didn't apply to you.

I am the author of the Chris Musni article. Thank you for giving feedback on my article. Of course, I wish you were not in favor of deleting.

So Stilldating may easily be a first-time wikipedia user who is a friend of mine. At the same time, even first time users are entitled to an opinion (even a discounted opinion as per Wikipedia policy). But I don't think there is anything wrong with them chiming in. 2. At the very least, would you not agree that I have provided a reliable source for his entry into the 2008 comedy competition? That comes straight from the competitions website.

Deletion of Oodles.com
Hi Admin,

The other admin suggested i chat with you, to get an idea of your reasoning for the suggesting that the page be deleted, but also to find out which areas should be re-worked or improved.

I think the deletion is a little extreme, as there were several references cited from reliable third party newspaper websites and industry/trade based websites in Australia.

People can lose their tempers, realize it after the fact, and apologize. He has chosen to endorse such actions instead of retracting them/apologizing. That's the big problem I have. Your thoughts? You can just respond here, if you want. — BQZip01 —  talk 03:29, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Being an admin is a job that I don't want, that's why I haven't been nominated, even though I've had offers. It's just thankless, and there are far too many people willing to attack, attack, attack, and even make RL consequences.  I give admins a lot of slack.  My call tonight for the deadminship of Slrubenstein is very much an aberration due to extraordinary circumstances.  FutPerf deserves tons of slack.   Corvus cornix  talk  03:32, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm as willing to cut him some slack as the next guy, but only if he's going to change his behavior. The evidence so far is to the contrary (He will do it again because he believes it to be right). If someone catches a cop speeding in his personal vehicle going 110 mph on the highway, it's inappropriate to just let him go without so much as a warning especially if he is unrepentant for his actions. He is going to repeat these actions. — BQZip01 —  talk 15:21, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edit on the Afrocentrism page
Hi there :) I am curious of the purpose of your edits on the page. Toussaint created what can reasonably be described as a POV fork. If there was consensus, or even a reasoning behind it (not even "article's too long"), or even a summary left in the article, I might give the benefit of the doubt. You reverted the edit then reverted your reversion without explanation. I went ahead and brought the article back to the previous version, and will request the new article to be deleted. This is too big of a change without consensus even if the article wasn't under probation. I hope you will agree; I've begun discussion on the talkpage.

User:MsTopeka
I didn't know you were ever officially asking me a question, I thought you were just making me aware of the situation. You originally said on my talk page, "You may want to be aware of Village_pump_(technical)." I went and commented there. You then said, "OK, I'm finding it harder and harder to assume good faith, considering MsTopeka's really trollish postings lately." I had no response to that other than "Okay", so archiving my page indicates that I read and acknowledged your comment. Only today did you say, "Are you still her mentor, or not?" on my talk page, which is the first time you asked me (previously you did ask a question in the header; however, I took it as an attention grabber and figured you were just making me aware of the actual body of your message). Anyway, I was never an official mentor/adopter/coach or anything to MsTopeka, just answered a few questions for her. Useight (talk) 15:34, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Alternative Cosmology Group
Greetings,

I find it intriguing that you added the Speedy Deletion tag to this entry within 10 minutes of my first posting the article, and while I was making comments in the discussion page which support the veracity of my statements and clearly stating my intent to add supporting info. This seems, of itself, to indicate the need for more open debate on the subject of mainstream cosmology's limitation. I would invite your comments, and offer alternative wordings, if you feel that this article still contains too many "weasel words" or is otherwise inaccurate. It seems somehow contentious on your part to add the Speedy Deletion tag before I even have a chance to finish the entry. I did complete the opening paragraph off-line before posting anything, but I consider your action to be rather hostile to the ideal that the advancement of Science involves a free and open debate on current topics. If you feel I have acted in error, by posting the entry in the first place, I would ask you to clarify and justify your claim.

Further, I would ask you to consider deleting the Speedy Deletion tag yourself, and to see what emerges after a few hours or a day. By not allowing the article to take shape first, you identify yourself as an antagonist, or an enemy of the free and open debate this organization is trying to foster.

Simply put; I do not understand why you feel as you do, but I would ask you to specify your objections on my user page, or on the discussion page of the article in question. I also wish to make it clear that I do dispute your actions. I will attempt to respond to any and all comments in a civilized manner, and I ask you to do the same.

Reading about Weasel Words
Hello again,

I have the page open to the description of Weasel Words, and it is my intent to read it in full. In the interest of fairness, I ask you to give me time, at least, to read more about Weasel Words and possible fixes. As this is not my first Wikipedia article, and the ACG is an organization with which I have become personally familiar, I believe it would be appropriate for you to take the time to consider whether you are being genuinely helpful to the Wikipedia cause, or perhaps unduly arbitrary.

Respectfully,

Jonathan JonathanD (talk) 00:11, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Stop Littering
If someone disagrees with the correctness of style of articles, (especially Corvis who apparently doesn't take care of business on his own talk page which is too long and should be archived), one should fix them oneself, one at a time, instead of buzzing like a busy bee across the field of other's works, littering with notes asking them to do what oneself will not. Corvus, no sooner does an author try to correct acording to your opinion, than you leave another rewrite note. Some people derive pleasure from from irritating others. They should take a breather and let the work continue. Honeybells (talk) 05:41, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * There are two basic strategies you can take in this sort of situation. The easy one is to get the editor you disagree with blocked on a technicality, convince people to delete his article, and laugh all the way to the bank when he gets the obvious indef block for civility problems afterwards. However, as fun as "winning" a Wikipedia conflict may be, that's not a particularly productive method since it costs us volunteers. The better, but harder, method is to help them improve the article into something usable and hope the process educates them.
 * At any rate, I'll try talking with Honeybells. Wish me luck. --erachima talk 06:47, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

''Your move of User talk:Ahoerstemeier to another page is vandalism. I suggest you not do that again.''

This was accidental and quickly reversed.

Editing another User's User page is also frowned upon. This user keeps removing my village hall weblink from my village's Wiki entry. He also claims to be an editor and yet his own page is full of mistakes. I was just offering the same level of help he has seen fit to offer us.

Do you really think that http://www.example.com is a valid link? Nope. But it wasn't meant to get in there. I have no idea how "example.com" got added.

Marilyn Agency deletion
Thanks for your message. I have to delete that because i was affraid that it can be deleted by error.

I've worked during hours to add illustrations to Wikipedia, in a good way, but one user said that i make promotion on my work (which is absolutly wrong, and there is no facts or proof about that, i already had many explainations with the FR wikipedia team and now they understood that i work on this community in a good way) Adding credits on a photograph is normal, as it is part of the information.

 * Turns out most of the Original Good article was a copyvio of the company's website so it wasn't suitable for transferring even if it had been encyclopedic.

Kernell
You appear to be engaged in an edit war on the article Mike Kernell. It seems you never looked at the actual issue before reverting as evidenced by your post here, you opened a new thread on top of the already existing and active thread just a few items above. You never posted at the talk page, further you used rollback to make the reverts in the issue, marking the edits as minor, avoiding scrutiny in the process. The original sentence including phrasing and the sourcing to the AP was inserted by user:MastCell in this edit. Hobartimus (talk) 07:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I reverted because Dof was removing the hidden text that the article was about the father, not the son.  - so you removed because the hidden text was removed. Did you read the hidden text? "This is an article about Mike not his son, the brief reference here is sufficient, please do not add to it without consensus on talk page.". In your version of the article could you point out the "brief reference" to the hacking that the text mentions explicitly? Or did you remove that exact brief reference the same time you restored the hidden text that referenced it? Hobartimus (talk) 07:56, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * In this edit you removed the sentence "In September 2008, anonymous sources reported that the FBI had searched the house of Kernell's son David in connection with the hacking of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's Yahoo! Mail account. The FBI and Secret Service are now investigating." You removed this piece of text as BLP violation this original text was inserted by administrator MastCell in this edit  after talk page discussion. That's all I'm saying. Dof only added a section heading and restored the sentence written by MastCell. Hobartimus (talk) 08:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Second: Once removed by the certainty or presumption that said illustration violate the Copyright Law Why keep the references in the Article, and for how long shall those references remain.

How many sources is considered adequate?
Hi Corvus, thanks for pointing out that sources should be added to things that people might consider original research. In the case of the Ancient greek macedonians, it seems that this has been accepted as true for thousands of years. I have hundreds of sources from ancient writers, as well as statements from over 300 leading professors on classics and antiquities. Should I add them all? Are 10 sources OK? 5 sources? 1? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.100.179.190 (talk) 22:23, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Corvus, its too bad that it appears this way. In fact the page should be called Ancient Macedonians (Greek), or Ancient Greek Macedonians.

The only reason for this is to prevent confusion for people who are coming to look for Ancient Macedonians from modern-day Republic of Macedonia. Since there is no disambiguation its best to state immediately that the page refers to the greeks.

Certainly, it is not required to say "Ancient Greek Athenians" or "Ancient Greek Spartans", because there are no modern-day countries called "Athens" or "Sparta". This is not the case with "Ancient Greek Macedonia", it is required to put the ethnic descriptor in there so that people are not confused that they are reading about the ancestors of the Modern day Republic of Macedonia.

Its too bad that 'Macedonia' means so many things, but thats why we can add words and disambiguation pages to prevent confusion!--129.100.179.190 (talk) 22:34, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
