User talk:Cunard/Archive 5

Hello world
This is just a quick post to create the page. tedder (talk) 16:21, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for archiving the page! Cunard (talk) 20:13, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You should try an archivebot like Werdnabot; it's really nice. :-) — Ed  (talk  •  contribs)  17:32, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestion, but I prefer the advantages of move-archiving my talk page. Move-archiving the page also resets the history of the page, giving me the feeling of starting out fresh. Best, Cunard (talk) 21:46, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Jonathan Gleich (2nd nomination)
Hi! As someone who contributed to Articles for deletion/Jonathan Gleich and/or the deletion review of that AFD, I thought you might be interested in the discussion at Articles for deletion/Jonathan Gleich (2nd nomination).

Note: this is going out to all registered editors with talk pages who commented on either page, not just to those on the Delete/Endorse or Keep/Overturn side.

Thank you. Dori ❦ (Talk ❖ Contribs ❖ Review) ❦ 22:21, 20 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the notification, but the AfD discussion was closed before I was able to participate. Having reviewed the article and the sources, I agree that this individual fails the spirit of Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines, so the article should be deleted. Because the article has been closed as "no consensus", I recommend that you renominate it in a month and notify all the participants of the first AfD, the second AfD, and the DRV on the day that you nominate the article for deletion. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 20:07, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Hungry: A Mother and Daughter Fight Anorexia
I have nominated Hungry: A Mother and Daughter Fight Anorexia, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hungry: A Mother and Daughter Fight Anorexia. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 15:34, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Human disguise
Re new content - I failed to spot it. I saw a slight expansion of two sentences is all. Still no RS supporting the concept as notable. Verbal chat  22:02, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I have no comment about the new content or lack of reliable sources, but speedy deletion does not apply. A DRV concluded that enough change had occurred to warrant opening a new AfD; therefore speedy deletion is inappropriate. Cunard (talk) 22:07, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for THIS
It was becoming a bit tiresome. I wil now be removing the entire discussion. Appreciate the good looking-out.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 08:32, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * My pleasure! I hate when fellow editors are harassed by annoying trolls. That user is probably a sock of somebody, but I don't know who. Cunard (talk) 08:37, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Shoe City
I sent it to AfD--your search was not specific to this company.  DGG ( talk ) 01:52, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * True, but I do not see an AfD tag on the article. I see a speedy tag, which has been re-added by . There are some sources here, but they probably aren't of the depth that will allow Shoe City to pass an AfD. I will not object if you wish to speedy the article. Cunard (talk) 05:03, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Current status is that Liefting seems to have sent to to AfD, where I've commented at Articles for deletion/Shoe City  DGG ( talk ) 19:18, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I've commented at the AfD. Cunard (talk) 21:28, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Duck Island, garden feature
I saw the close, and left a comment at User talk:Mackensen.  DGG ( talk ) 19:18, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your accurate assessment of the situation. I've replied there. Cunard (talk) 21:28, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamada Gaku
Thank you for fixing the closure. As you probably saw in the history, I closed it when I was logged out, and so it was oversighted. When I "redid" it to attribute it to my account, I forgot that there would be no sig, and didn't notice that in the "preview"!

It's only a little thing, not likely to happen again - but it was good of you to fix it.

Regards, --  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 00:33, 20 November 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem. I saw the malformed AfD close at Articles for deletion/Old/Open AfDs. Remember to put the "Afd top" template above the header, instead of below it. Best, Cunard (talk) 06:42, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy declined...
...for good reason--thanks for setting me straight. I should have looked just a little harder. Thanks again, Drmies (talk) 18:12, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries. I know quite a bit about the nuances of speedy deletion because I spend an inordinate amount of my time on Wikipedia patrolling CAT:CSD. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 18:19, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

inre Articles for deletion/Patrick New
While I have not (yet) gone through the article to do any tweaks or sourcing, I use a slightly different search parameter than you and found the he seems to have coverage for his stage work.... and another is adding some to the article even as I write this.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 00:18, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The search returns many passing mentions, such as trivial coverage in character lists. Can you point out two sources that provide nontrivial coverage about Patrick New? Cunard (talk) 00:25, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Copyvio de-tagging
Re. your de-tagging of my db-copyvio mark at Phiale of Megara : It seems I wasn't quite clear enough. Of course, I know the person who wrote the article was the same person who previously posted the text on the other talk page. The point is, he posted that talk page passage as a literal quote from an academic source. On the talk page it was marked as such, in the article it wasn't; independently of whether it was marked, the article consisted almost in its entirety of literally copied copyrighted text. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:33, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I missed the "By Prof. James O’Neil, Sydney" at the bottom of the talk page. My apologies for that. However, it seems that only a small portion of the article was copied from James O'Neil. I have removed that copyright violation from Phiale of Megara. Is the rest of the article clean of copyrighted content? Cunard (talk) 08:49, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The largest part of the body text, at least from "the name Athanaia is the old poetic form..." to "... another inscription from Macedonia in classical times which is clearly in Doric" is also from the same source. (i.e. either directly from O'Neill, or, more likely, from intermediate copyvio versions out there on the web, e.g. ). The same goes for the image, which, if it really was self-made as the uploader claims, would be academically worthless. It is in fact a derived work from the excavation notes seen in the link above. I would have cleaned this up myself, but it seems that without the copyvio material, only a sub-stub would be left. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:00, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I have removed the rest of the copyrighted content in the article. The remaining portion is the introduction, which probably isn't copied from a source (from what I can see in the quoted footnote). What remains is a valid stub that has three sources, so I believe this article should be kept. Cunard (talk) 09:18, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Marcus leach
The issue, as was raised by the editors quoting relevant guidelines, was that the article failed WP:BIO (aka WP:PEOPLE). While the subject was mentioned in a small number of third party publications, most of the publicity related to Leach's membership in a high school debating team, rather than the claims being made regarding him in the article ("a partner at Leach & Associates LC, and manages its subsidiary lobbying group, known as Access Hill. Prior to this appointment, Leach served as a Foreign Expert in the People's Republic of China, under the nomination of the Euroway Centre in Shanghai and certification of the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs.") In addition, those third-party sources were themselves not overwhelmingly impressive; The Pitch (newspaper), for example, is a free Kansas City alternative weekly. While it was true that a book about the debating team existed, it was apparently the sole book written by a Kansas City freelance magazine writer, and it was not clear how much of the book was actually about Leach. Jayjg (talk) 01:00, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for providing this insightful closing rationale. Although the "delete" votes' analysis of the sources was fairly weak, I can see why you closed this as delete. Having read your arguments, my opinion about this article has changed; I agree with deleting this marginally-notable BLP that is sourced to underwhelming sources. Please append this rationale to the AfD so that the anonymous user(s) who participated in this discussion will know why you closed this as "delete". Thanks, Cunard (talk) 08:17, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Service medals
The service medals (i.e. National Defense Service Medal) you claim are an "assertion of notability" are awarded to all service members. They are awarded merely for showing up. There is nothing notable about them, because everybody gets them, regardless of service. DarkAudit (talk) 03:28, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You are right that the National Defense Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon are awarded to everyone, so they do not establish notability. However, an award does credibly assert notability, even though it is very tenuous. I would probably delete Brian Joseph Stone if I were an admin, but I will not reinstate the speedy tag because the speedy has been declined before. Since declined the first speedy tag, I have asked him/her to review the article. If Skomorokh agrees with speedy deletion (or a snowball close of the AfD), I would not object. Cunard (talk) 03:40, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I was posting my point to him at the same time you were. :) DarkAudit (talk) 03:46, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

World of Pet Supplies
It's nice to be wrong sometimes. It's too bad the person creating the article wasn't careful with lifting things from promotional web pages, it hurt his cause. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  04:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for removing the copyrighted content from the article. A Google search for "World of Pet Supplies" returns few valid results; however, a Google search with the Chinese search returns a number of good news articles. I've referenced the article using Google Translate and those sources. Best, Cunard (talk) 07:11, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

"Outing"
What you referred to on my talk page was about an old dispute where the person I was referring to was arrogantly and heavily-handed removing content without giving me a chance to adequately support it with references, of which there were plenty. It was obvious that he was determined to keep the article on Ohio University a puff-piece. He--or she--was hiding behind a mask of anonymity in order to pursue a personal agenda -- which I might have been accused of, I admit, but I had substance to back up my edits. I don't try to cowardly hide my actions behind anonymity. jaknouse (talk) 22:51, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * If you would like to discuss with why he was reverting your edits, feel free to do so on User talk:Either way. Adopting the combative tone, "I see you're still hiding your identity," is not conducive to producing a constructive conversation. Please do not bring up information that is not germane to the discussion. Many editors would like to keep their off-wiki lives separate from their on-wiki ones. Please respect that. Cunard (talk) 22:59, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I tried to discuss it. It was useless. The other individual was 100% pure and right and I was 100% pure and wrong, according to him/her, and I had no recourse. I took a hiatus from Wikipedia because of it. jaknouse (talk) 16:01, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Per this, I do not see recent interaction between you and Either way. In October 2007, Either way warned you for inserting original research into Ohio University. In November 2007, you posted a message to his talk page indicating that you did not vandalize Wikipedia. This dispute occurred in 2007, so I don't understand the purpose of bringing it up two years later. If you wish to ask Either way why he warned you, open a discussion on his talk page. But do not adopt a belligerent tone as you did two years ago and recently. Holding a civil, calm discussion would be more productive, and Either way will be more receptive to your comments. Cunard (talk) 23:26, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, right. This was a person who was my way or the highway.  Every edit I tried to make was immediately reverted. jaknouse (talk) 00:23, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Either way is a reasonable editor who will respond to your inquiries if you are courteous. Your edits to Ohio University were reverted because they were unsourced, giving the impression of original research. Now that two years have passed, what do wish to accomplish through your post to User talk:Either way? Cunard (talk) 03:02, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Engine (boogie-rock band) - Article in Wikipedia Incubator
Hi there, Here is the material on 'Engine (boogie-rock band)' that I've so far been able to assemble on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/engine_wad-ape-yoz/with/4135694445/ Much of it was supplied by the band's former drummer. The articles in the 'Cuttings' folder are the ones that I'm hoping will provide notability / reliability for this topic. Thankyou for taking the time to review it; please let me know if I can move forward with re-editing the Wikipedia page afterwards. Engine's band profile has also been updated on Musicmight.com, though not with any new biographical information: http://www.musicmight.com/artist/united+kingdom/merseyside/birkenhead/engine By the way, my apologies for not signing-in every time I edited the Wikipedia page previously; I genuinely didn't realize it was required to do so on each occasion. There are four of us working on this article, but 99% of the edits have come from me, and I take full resposibility for any inconsistencies. Many thanks, Yehia Tawfik —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.74.145.65 (talk) 07:09, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, Yehia. Thanks for posting the Flickr link. This link and this link confirm that Engine passes Wikipedia's notability guidelines and thus is suitable for inclusion. Nice job obtaining those articles! Yes, you may begin editing Article Incubator/Engine (boogie-rock band) to include those sources. I will review the article in a few days and will make a few changes. Then, I will ask, who closed Articles for deletion/Engine (boogie-rock band) as incubate, to move the article back to the mainspace. No worries for forgetting to sign your edits. To do so, just type " ~ " (four tildes) after your message. Also, as John said on your talk page, remember to log in to before editing. Feel free to ask me for help if you need any assistance. Good luck editing! Cunard (talk) 08:04, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

PRIMO
Dear Cunard,

I amnew and I am quite confused.

I thought I am communicating with Ukpart, but now realise I am wrong, so I copied what i sent to Ukpart to you in anattempt to hang on your decision for deletion my new article.

After making a short and very plain new article to simply introduce what is the PRIMO system for Internet Marketing with plain explainary words, I am quite shocked to see your new message with mark for speedy deletion.

I am a PRIMO user, only start to know it this October but have benefit it so much since, and think everyone should know it and benefit from it, that's why I come to Wikipedia and volunteer to introduce it.

As you can see now, it's just a simple introduction with no what socalled advertising words or purpose at all. I do not understand and will be confused if this short plain introduction is to be deleted. I hope you reconsider your decision, and show me how to improve it to make it a valuable information for everyone.

Many thanks for your attention and reconsideration.

Kind regards, --Graciousness2009 (talk) 23:40, 9 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, Graciousnesss2009, I neither deleted PRIMO nor tagged the article for speedy deletion. I just removed the hangon tag you placed on your talk page. I cannot access PRIMO because I'm not an administrator, so I do not know to what degree the article contained promotion (if any). However, the article likely did not assert notability, so it was deleted per Criteria for speedy deletion. For an article to remain on Wikipedia, it must have significant coverage in reliable sources. I did a Google News Archive search for Primo 106 and have been unable to find any sources about the company. Primo fails Notability (companies) and so does not pass Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines. If you can find at least two reliable sources that provide significant coverage about Primo, I will help you reinstate the article. Cunard (talk) 23:50, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Nicnevin
No problem at all. I started the habit of patrolling AfD looking for articles to improve rather than spam-hunting, so it's good to occasionally find one. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 12:31, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. For me, salvaging articles from deletion is more beneficial to the encyclopedia and more rewarding than tagging them for deletion. Cunard (talk) 17:53, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Engine (boogie-rock band)
See my note to Yehia.tawfik here. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:42, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for graduating the article to Engine (boogie-rock band). The album articles were incubated per the consensus at Articles for deletion/Well Oiled (album). I have merged the content from those articles to Engine because they aren't independently notable. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 22:51, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Good, thanks. I suggest I hatch out the album articles and turn them into redirects to the band, which is what WP:NALBUMS seems to suggest - "Album articles... may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article" would leave a rediect behind. That also keeps the histories, though as they were all Yehia.tawfik that isn't really a problem from the attribution point of view. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 23:10, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, that should be sufficient for attribution. Thanks for doing all the administrative work. Best, Cunard (talk) 23:12, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. I've done the four hatch-and-redirects. JohnCD (talk) 15:18, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

A question about DRV
Hi, I see that you just tagged a bunch of AfDs that were brought up at DRV. One of them was from an AfD that I was a major contributor to but just learned now that it was brought to DRV. If it was tagged then I could have contributed to the DRV. Are these tags that you're adding new? If they are are hope they will be added while the reviews are still in progress. J04n(talk page) 00:52, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Template:Delrevafd was created in September 2008. Sadly, this handy tag hasn't been used much since October 2008. I found this template recently and plan to add them to the AfDs that are at currently at DRV, as well as to the older ones. So yes, I will be tagging the AfD pages while the DRV reviews are still in progress. Best, Cunard (talk) 08:10, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your answer and thank you even more for doing the tagging. J04n(talk page) 14:01, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for fixing my malformed closing. I appreciate that people with attention to detail are here to clean up after my careless mistakes. Chillum (Need help? Ask me) 21:00, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries. The "AfD top" template should always be at the top of the page. Best, Cunard (talk) 00:42, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Improper relisting
There is NO evidence that the creator and subject of the article are the same person. One other editor made that assumption for some confusing reason and others, such as you, are maintaining the assumption confusing everyone. The creator cleared this up and confirmed he is NOT the subject of the author on his talk page; now, please, go back and explain why you are relisting the article. -- IP69.226.103.13   |   Talk about me.   17:47, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I've undone the relist because the creator is not the subject. I did not notice this as I only read the AfD, not the creator's talk page. Cunard (talk) 01:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The whole thing is sooo confusing. Thanks for simply undoing it. -- IP69.226.103.13   |   Talk about me.   02:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. It will be interesting to see how the closing admin will interpret the debate. It looks like a "no consensus" AfD to me. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 02:18, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sure it will be wrong, whatever they do;) -- IP69.226.103.13   |   Talk about me.   02:34, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * They're always wrong. That's why we have WP:DRV. :) Cunard (talk) 02:43, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I won't be going for it, whatever way this turns up. I've found some sources about his fiction (Spanish sources), and I will try to add that if it stays, but if it goes, that's okay, too. -- IP69.226.103.13   |   Talk about me.   02:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * has closed the debate as "keep", which is, of course, wrong. ;) I believe that a more accurate reading would be "no consensus", so have left him a note about it. But I won't go to DRV to try to try to change the close because there is little difference between "keep" and "no consensus". Cunard (talk) 07:17, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

OMG! You really think that the AfD fails, and you get the text moved to another article, then the redirect deleted and you're not trying to delete the article? If the article is gone by whatever maneuvers you use: you're deleting it. This is unbelievable. -- IP69.226.103.13   |   Talk about me.   02:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I have replied on the talk page. Please keep the discussion there. Cunard (talk) 02:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * No, get done with discussing it there. This is ridiculous. -- IP69.226.103.13   |   Talk about me.   02:11, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Why are you posting on User talk:Cunard? Do you wish to continue the discussion here, or are we done discussing this topic? Cunard (talk) 02:14, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * You have an interesting edit history, by the way. Staring out strong. Did you spend a lot of time editing as an IP first, or did you change user names? -- IP69.226.103.13   |   Talk about me.   02:27, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I enjoyed tagging new pages for deletion as an IP for quite some time before deciding to register. One, I wanted to created a couple redirects that I could not do as an unregistered user. Two, I was tired of the treatment that IPs receive from those who have accounts. Cunard (talk) 02:33, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Really, nominated articles for deletion as an IP? Interesting. -- IP69.226.103.13   |   Talk about me.   03:28, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thinking back on my IP experience, I must say that it was fairly relaxing for me. I didn't have to worry about messages like this because I would be off to another IP the next day. Nowadays, I rarely patrol new pages, so I likely won't receive such messages from angry creators in the future. CAT:CSD is where I spend a significant portion of time, as I find that salvaging notable articles that have rectifiable problems (such as articles with partial copyright violations, promotional language, or lack of sourcing) is more beneficial to the encyclopedia and more rewarding to myself than tagging them for deletion. By the by, why did you switch from your IP to a user account? Cunard (talk) 08:48, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

1E miss quoted
Hello, I'm looking for some advice on how to move forward with this article. The journalist who wrote the article for reference 3, Woods, Catherine has miss quoted Sumir Karayi, 1E CEO. I would like to replace this reference and corresponding text to a more accurate up-to-date article. I am not looking to promote the company, I would just like to make sure the details within the article are factually correct. Your guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks Michellehazelton (talk) 11:14, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I have removed that paragraph in the article for now. If you can find a reliable source to update the article, feel free to do so.

Some important policies for Wikipedia articles are Verifiability and Neutral point of view. Feel free to add other information, but please make sure you cite independent, third-party reliable sources. Also, be sure to avoid peacock terms and stick to neutral language.

Here are some templates to help you cite sources. There are three main templates:


 * cite news : for news websites like CNN, Fox News, ABC, MSN, etc. I normally use
 * cite web : for web pages. I normally use . If anything (such as the author's name or the date) is not on the web page, then you should remove it from the template. The same goes with other elements in this cite web template.
 * cite book : for books. I normally use.

Another good link about sources is Reliable sources, which states that Wikipedia articles should use reliable, third-party, published sources. Remember to keep this in mind when you are researching an article. Sources from Myspace and most blogging sites are not reliable sources and should not be used in Wikipedia articles. Also, using "third-party sources" means that the article should not solely rely on sources that originate from the website that the article is about.

Your first article also provides some good information about writing decent articles. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask me. Feel free to expand this article. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! Cunard (talk) 11:27, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your help, much appreciated. Michellehazelton (talk) 13:29, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. In one of your edits to the article, you removed sourced information. Why did you do that? Cunard (talk) 21:03, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello, it was requested that some of the details be removed so as to make the article a bit more general. Is that ok? Michellehazelton (talk) 09:56, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Who requested the removal? I think the information about the founding of 1E should remain because it provides a general history of how the company came about. Cunard (talk) 10:01, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Quick note
Another editor (not myself) has accused you of sockpuppetry at Sockpuppet investigations/Todtanis. -- Dylan 620  (contribs, logs) 01:21, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note and the words of support at the page. It's not the first time I've been accused of being a sockmaster: Sockpuppet investigations/Cunard. The filer has been blocked now, so the investigation could probably be speedy closed. I wonder if this is the same person who started the first report. Cunard (talk) 02:02, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Supplication
Hey Cunard! Recently I have become more aware of the work and effort you put into Wikipedia. I've looked through your talk pages, contribs, etc. and I feel you would be a great admin. I read here and here about your views on becoming an admin, but I was curious if your stance had changed since then (those threads are very old, especially if one converts it to wiki-time). Please let me know if you're interested, and I would be happy to write up a nomination statement for you. Killiondude (talk) 06:46, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for extensively researching my contributions and for your confidence in me, but I do not wish to become an administrator. I prefer to edit Wikipedia without being burdened by the tools. As an admin, blocking users, deleting articles, and closing XfDs would detract from much of my on-wiki time which would have been better used for participating in the XfDs or improving articles that are in danger of deletion. Kodster's reasons for remaining a non-admin, summed in the essay, I don't want to be an administrator, represent my opinions on the subject. Additionally, during contentious debates, some non-admins tend to assume that the admins are always abusing their "status" to elevate their own positions. Several times I have seen this occur in the AfDs I have participated in, as well as other discussions I have read. If I were an admin at the time, I know that I would have been dragged into the berating. While I do not mind such berating, this would have further deviated from the discussion at hand. Being a non-admin gives me the freedom that admins do not have. Thanks again for your trust in me and my apologies for wasting the time you spent reading through my contributions, but I'd prefer to leave the janitorial work to the current crew of admins, who are doing a stellar job of maintaining this encyclopedia. ;) Best, Cunard (talk) 07:31, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Wow, thank you for confidence in me, but I would like to remain a non-admin per the reasons I enumerated above. Besides, I like having the admins act as my servants. Ordering them around and making them clean up the mess I create is much more satisfying than doing the work myself. ;) Cunard (talk) 00:37, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Redirects for discussion/Log/2010 January 10
I responded there. I hate the concept, but think it's notable in pop-culture; on the other hand, the consensus just last week was to delete it, not to create a redirect. I support the decision of the crowd here at WP, unless it's completely nonsense. Please read WP:NAM. Bearian (talk) 02:04, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It will not be a net benefit, but that's when AfD trumps RfD. Bearian (talk) 02:06, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I neither participated in the AfD, nor do I have an opinion as to whether an article is warranted in this situation. However, I believe that a redirect would be a net positive for Wikipedia. It provides guidance for Wikipedia's readers and thus should be kept per WP:RFD #3 and #5. AfD decides whether an article should be kept or deleted. It does not mandate that a redirect should not be created. A redirect is an editorial decision that falls outside AfD. Why do you believe that this redirect will not be a net benefit? Cunard (talk) 02:12, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Cunard, it does not matter what I believe. I don't think it's notable.  I don't know if it is a viable redirect.  The close was delete.  The group believes that it should be deleted, and not redirected.  Now if you disagree about that, then take it to WP:DRV.  That is the process.  You win some and lose some.

DoggyRide
Thanks for taking the time to review the article about the DoggyRide brand. Please note that the DoggyRide brand name has become part of the Dutch language as a genericized trademark. That in itself would provide notability for a Wikipedia article on it's own. The fact that DoggyRide has grown beyond a bicycle trailer to a travel and outdoors products and is used for service and guide dogs behind wheelchairs makes the spot itself rare. A search on the Internet will find numerous references in news media, blogs and next month it will be featured in a major TV show broadcasted by BBC. With this I hope to have address the notability issue, so that the article can remain intact to grow in informative value over the years to come. Have a great day :)! mattmontare (talk) 19:41, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Notability is determined by the amount of coverage in reliable sources. Are there any Dutch newspapers that have written about DoggyRide? If you can provide two or more good references (excluding non-reliable blogs and websites that have a connection to DoggyRide), notability is established and the article can be kept.

overlinking

Wiki policies
Wiki policies are often contingent and fluid, open to constant reinterpretation. For many years, Wikipedia had "date links" for every birth and death date. Now they don't. If you knew the history of the change, a lot of it was made for "window-dressing" purposes (attempting to avoid "over" linking) but this came at the sacrifice of functionality.

At the very least, exceptions should be made when a supercentenarian is put out as a symbolic link to the past. Indeed, life "timelines" are quite common for articles on supercentenarians. A little more thought to the subject (why is the person noted?) would establish the reason for having a YEAR link. After all, are these persons not held out as "living links to the past"? Ryoung 122 09:01, 27 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I understand your arguments about linking but disagree with them. Adding symbolic links to the past in supercentenarian articles does not help the reader as this is not what the articles are for. If you would like to get Linking changed, please start a discussion about it on Wikipedia talk:Linking. I do not wish to spend my time on Wikipedia debating the inclusion of links on dates, so please take it Wikipedia talk:Linking. Cunard (talk) 09:34, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Response to Ryoung: No, the dumping of date-autoformatting was not window dressing: it was entirely functional. Blueing every date and date fragment was significantly diluting the functional links in their vicinity, as do common-term links I see every day, such as "dog" and "vomit", in articles on, say, pop singers. This degrades the wikilinking system.
 * No, this one is not "contingent and fluid", and is open to interpretation only where it demonstrably improves the project. Your linkings do not do this. Please accept the huge (85%?) majority in favour of the rule that you tried to expunge at WP:LINKING only an hour ago.
 * I must ask you to cease and desist from your campaign of linking years in articles on supercentenarians. This matter was explicitly decided last year ... against. Tony   (talk)  09:38, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

I belive Schelp can be sourced through his work in Cha$e, MANswers, and as an exec for Fujisankei. It even turns out he is fluent enough in Japanese to have acted as translator. Oh... it's a work-in-progress.... and I know better than to turn it loose without sourcing (chuckle)... so have faith... I'll be keeping up on it.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 04:56, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Canvassing
Thanks for the suggestion. I just re-read Canvassing. Please be assured that I was just being friendly, unlike some other editors who actually believe that Wikipedia needs to be destroyed! By far, it is the most violated rule around here, and I've been accused of it even when I wasn't doing it. In this case, I did inadvertantly break the rule. Mea culpa. If I don't care one way or the other, then is it canvassing? If nobody saw how much work you do to improve articles around here, did it happen? If I had a point, it was to challenge other editors to do their fair share of work around here. Bearian (talk) 19:00, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * If you truly believe that all unreferenced BLPs must be deleted, then you should support my nomination for deletion of this stub. (diff) does not sound like a "friendly" message; it's telling MZMcBride that he should vote delete on the AfD. I consider messages such as this and this to be neutral messages of notification that do not violate Canvassing. From the tone of your messages here and at the AfD, it appears that you do care one way: you want the article deleted. At the time of your nomination, the article already contained a reference from The New York Post and thus would not qualify for BLP deletion. A second source was added by after you nominated the article for deletion. I do believe that other editors are doing their fair share. I am not sure by what you mean with the question "If nobody saw how much work you do to improve articles around here, did it happen?" Cunard (talk) 19:20, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * There appears to be a new clear consensus to eliminate as many poorly sourced BLPs as possible. My recent attempts to fix several articles have been derided.  Nobody seems to care anymore, except, it appears, you. Bearian (talk) 19:37, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Where have people derided your attempts at improving the encyclopedia? Please give me some links to such instances. Cunard (talk) 19:44, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I looked at the old reference at this diff and read "New York Press", which I've never encountered, not the New York Post, which is a pretty good source. Bearian (talk) 19:40, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * My mistake. The New York Press, while not as reliable as the New York Post, is still a valid reference. Cunard (talk) 19:44, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Deletion, (not notable)
Hi Cunard,

I have been the subjsct of an article deleted today. This isn't a complaint - it's not for me to say whether I'm notable or not. In the event, it seems that improvments were not written and added in time.

I have read the material about deletiona and Wikipedia standards and found it very informative, thanks. It only left me with one question mark. A device invented by me got a good deal of attention form the press (in this case the music press; numerous reviews of 'Note Tracker', all 100% positive).

You were unable to find evidence of it because the press material and testimonials from users date from around 1990 and as far as I know only exists in hard copy (of which I have a folder full). At least, it doesn't have an internet presence, production having ceased due to lack of funding.

This is where your advice would be appreciated. Is there a way such material can be presented with referance to an article? If not, I assume the item won;t be accepted at all, is that the case?

With Thanks in Advance for your advice,

Peter Davies Pd1950 (talk) 23:38, 31 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Since you have old newspaper and magazine articles that provide reviews about Note Tracker, please scan the articles to your computer, and then upload them to Flickr or any other photo-sharing site. Then post the links to my talk page. You can create a draft about Note Tracker at User:Pd1950/Note Tracker and incorporate those sources into it. I will look over the article, make any necessary changes, and then move it to the mainspace once it satisfies Wikipedia's guidelines. The sources you provide must be reliable and independent of yourself. The reviews should be from reputable publishers (such as newspapers/magazines that have an editorial staff); testimonials or letters from users will not suffice. Unless there are sources that provide nontrivial coverage about you yourself, your biography cannot be undeleted as it would violate Biographies of living persons. However, some biographical information could be included in Note Tracker, as long as the information can be verified. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 23:56, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of Article Ambarish Srivastava
Thanks to encourage me. I had already made a request before about 24 hours of the deletion of article Ambarish Srivastava during AFD process that the article Ambarish Srivastava should not be deleted, i had provided the reliable source on 08-Feb. 2010. After about one hour when i provided that source i have visited it again, i found there that the article was deleted yet. it appears that the reliable source which i have provided was not inspected or considered properly during AFD, by which cause, i was discouraged. Now there are many reliable sources so please restore the Article Ambarish Srivastava. Spjayswal67 (talk) 04:00, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

No worries. I noticed that, with the uploading of many newspaper articles, you expended much time and effort on the article. The consensus at deletion review at the moment is supportive of returning the article to the mainspace after you have worked on it at your userspace draft, User:Spjayswal67/Ambarish Srivastava. The reason is that the article, in order to comply with our Biographies of living persons policy, needs to be sourced. Currently, your userspace draft has many external links to reliable sources but lacks inline citations.

Here are some templates to help you cite sources. There are three main templates:


 * cite news : for news websites like CNN, Fox News, ABC, MSN, etc. I normally use
 * cite web : for web pages. I normally use . If anything (such as the author's name or the date) is not on the web page, then you should remove it from the template. The same goes with other elements in this cite web template.
 * cite book : for books. I normally use.

I advise you to withdraw the DRV request for now to give you time to work referencing the article with the above citation templates. After the article is fully referenced, you can contact me here and I will bring the article back to Deletion review and, I hope, get the consensus needed to restore the article. If you have any questions about the citation templates or anything else, feel free to ask me. Cunard (talk) 08:25, 12 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Please visit my userspace draft, User:Spjayswal67/Ambarish Srivastava as per my views it is fully referenced with inline citations. if u feel any fault there please suggest me about what should i do for it's health?. if you think that it is fully referenced with inline citations, please bring the article back to Deletion review.Regards Spjayswal67 (talk) 19:26, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Please Explain
I saw this posted by you in an exchange discussing Embers (band) and Lesser of Two:

I find it amusing that Noodle believes that I am being "conspiratorial" when he himself is the conspiratorial one &mdash; he denies the blatant canvassing, although he posts "Now they're out to get Lesser of Two" and "Please help" messages on multiple talk pages. That gets me thinking. If he can canvass multiple people to join the AfDs, why can't I? I'm busy right now as I have to conspire with my special group of special Wikipedians, many of whom belong to this special group. Cunard (talk) 09:05, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I have defended myself from your accusations on the Lesser of Two AfD page. Every person I contacted was already involved in the articles in question. The only new input I solicited was a posting on both the punk and metal portals, and the message is rather bland. Rather than fire accusations back at you and clutter up the discussion with nonsense I thought it best to ask you directly what you meant by your comment above. Also, I would ask that you stop attacking myself and others in the discussion and bring up any concerns about "canvassing" or whatever other conspiracies you have on their talk page. If that doesn't satisfy you perhaps there is a better way to address your concerns than making such allegations during the AfD discussion. It distracts from substantial arguments even your own. javascript:insertTags('noodle 23:19, 13 February 2010 (UTC)',,) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noodlesteve (talk • contribs) 23:19, 13 February 2010 (UTC)


 * The above is part of some banter at User talk:Ginsengbomb (permalink) between and me. I apologize if you were offended by our sarcastic discourse which was meant solely for our amusement. I am amused by the fact that you believe me to be "conspiratorial" when, in fact, this can be said of yourself since you were canvassing. At User talk:ScarTissueBloodBlister, User talk:Prairie2010, User talk:Radeksz, and User talk:Black Kronstadt, you wrote a non-neutral message which implicitly told the canvassed users to vote "keep" on the article. Phrases such as "Now they're out to get Lesser of Two", "... Lesser of Two is a band with many more references and accomplishments" (mine emphasized), and "Please help" cannot be reasonably construed as acceptable per Canvassing. This is Canvassing because you are trying to sway the receiver's opinion through your use of tone and intent. On the other hand, your messages at User talk:WikHead and User talk:Alvin Seville are acceptable in that they are neutral in tone. That said, I am willing to withdraw the debate if you provide reliable sources that prove that the band passes Band #5 : "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)." This appears to be the only way that the band Lesser of Two can pass Wikipedia's inclusion standards since it fails the other criteria listed at WP:BAND as well as Notability and Verifiability.

the Lesser of Two Criteria 5 WP:BAND discussion
I apologize in advance for this (the length), but it appears my comments on this subject are getting lost in the discussions of critereas 1 and 4. Below is the text of our discussion exclusively on criterea 5 WP:BAND. As you can see I responded to your initial question, but then we go distracted by a discussion further down in the AfD. I don't mind if you delete this section once you've read it. javascript:insertTags('noodle 00:05, 15 February 2010 (UTC)',,)

====Analysis of Criterea 5 of WP:BAND by the Author of this Article==== Lesser of Two released records on Nikt Nic Nie Wie (Poland), Malarie Records (Czech Republic), Terrorismo Sonora (Mexico), Estajanovismo Records (Mexico), Farmhouse Records (USA), Beyond this they self released the majority of their music due to their DIY ethic (See MRR above). Although I think exceptions should be made for expressly DIY bands they still had two or more releases on major independent labels which are labels existing over a "few years" with a roster of other notable acts.
 * Nikt Nic Nie Wie (self titled tape with Polish translations) is the first independent label in Poland and has released numerous notable bands. That should be relatively non-controversial if one looks. The next most prolific label is
 * Malarie (self titled 12" vinyl) is the next most prolific label which has recently released an album by MDC (band) and has released many other notable bands including Zounds, Harum Scarum (see Cypher_in_the_Snow), and Homo Militia to name a few. Since this label is still active it fulfills both criteria of 5 WP:BAND
 * Estajanovismo (self titled tape with Spanish translations) is a label from Mexico that has been around since the early 1990's and has released other notable bands such as Varukers, Resist and Exist (see Total Chaos (band)), The Ex (band), Wolfbrigade and much more.
 * Terrorismo Sonora I do not know if this label is prolific enough to qualify for critera 5 of WP:BAND. I will have to do more research, but criterea 5 only requires two or more.
 * Farmhouse Records (Farmhouse '94 Compilation 12" and CD) was established in 1993 and has released albums with Submission Hold (band) and Useless ID. I would list more but you guys get the point.

Since we have at least four releases on important independent labels then we have met this standard of notability as well as the other aforementioned criteria due to coverage in reliable publications. javascript:insertTags('noodle 02:17, 14 February 2010 (UTC)',,) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noodlesteve (talk • contribs)


 * The external links provided above do not verify that Lesser Than Two has released albums on these record labels. Nonetheless, there is a chance that this passes [WP:MUSIC]] #5 per your comments above. WP:MUSIC #5 states: Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).

If you are able to provide verification from reliable sources that Lesser than Two has released two or more albums on one of labels you mentioned above, I will withdraw this AfD nomination. Cunard (talk) 07:40, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * NNNW: this is listed in the NNNW catalog as release #90 along with numerous notable bands.
 * Malarie: the website distro's all Lesser of Two releases as well as Embers (band) (see: related discussion), and states, "first was released by band on CD, NNNW on casssete and MALARIE on vinyl."
 * Estajanovismo/Terrorismo Sonora: This was a limited edition tape co-release in support of Lesser of Two's tour in Mexico. I can't find anything online so this may require another trip to the scanner.
 * Farmhouse: Farmhouse '94 is a rare out of print record. I found it for $45 at wegotrecords.com


 * Remember that criteria #5 of WP:BAND does not require a "reliable" source as does criteria #1 and #4. These source are sufficient for verification under WP:SELFPUB. javascript:insertTags('noodle 19:28, 14 February 2010 (UTC)',,) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noodlesteve (talk • contribs)


 * Please list the two albums that this band has released on a "major label" / "more important indie label". And list the sources that correspond to those two albums. From your post above, it is unclear as to which two albums are from the "major label" / "more important indie label". Cunard (talk) 19:37, 14 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I would say the links above qualify ALL the labels as "important indie" except Terrorismo Sonora (due to lack of information at this moment, it's a co-release anyway). At this point I would say NNNW, Malarie, AND Farmhouse since the links above prove they exist and are "an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable" as per #5 WP:BAND. The Malarie link above breaks it down pretty well. I could get a scan of the Estajanovismo, but it might take some time.
 * I hope we don't have to debate the meaning of the words "two", "few", and "many" in #5 WP:BAND because I think this AfD has been sufficiently exhaustive and served it's purpose.javascript:insertTags('noodle 21:16, 14 February 2010 (UTC)',,) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noodlesteve (talk • contribs)

However, due to the lack of coverage in the mainstream media about punk rock, I guess Maximumrocknroll, Flipside, and the other fanzines must suffice to combat the systemic bias that exists with this music genre.

Orphan templates
In a word, yes - although I wasn't singling you out for attention in particular. It's just that whenever I come across a user I'm not familiar with, I take a look at the pages they've been working on, and in your case I noticed that several of the articles you've created or worked on were orphans. Please don't take this personally, and if the templates are no longer appropriate, feel free to remove them. Robofish (talk) 22:53, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the explanation. I do not mind users pointing out the improvements needed for the articles on which I have worked. However you should keep in mind though that the tags you placed across multiple articles may be disheartening to some users, especially if the issues cannot be easily revolved - de-orphaning some pages may be very difficult. However, I have a couple of articles in mind (such as List of dogs) and I'll add links for Heart-kun to it. Best, Cunard (talk) 23:04, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Sacred microdistillery youtube archived link doesn't work.
Hello Cunard, thankyou for your help bringing the Sacred Microdistillery page up to scratch. I like the archiving that you have done. I tested the links, and found that the one you created for the youtube video doesn't work, though the original does. Is this fixable? I will try to learn how to use the archiving system, but don't have the skills yet. best wishesBeefeaterdrinker (talk) 11:24, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome. The YouTube archive link has an error because although the WebCite system can archive images and pdfs, it cannot archive YouTube videos. I've commented out the YouTube archive link since I don't think it's fixable.

Here are some templates to help you cite sources. There are three main templates:
 * cite news : for news websites like CNN, Fox News, ABC, MSN, etc. I normally use
 * cite web : for web pages. I normally use . If anything (such as the author's name or the date) is not on the web page, then you should remove it from the template. The same goes with other elements in this cite web template.
 * cite book : for books. I normally use.

To use WebCite to archive online urls, you can submit the urls to http://webcitation.org/archive. Occasionally, the WebCite link will return an error due to a no-cache tag (see "Cache-Control" section of List of HTTP headers for more information). If this happens, the page cannot be archived.

-A labor's bite-

Something we all suffer silently

We never afraid of hard work

Our labor is precious, brother

Why work for free made

Why do say ugly abuse

Why do we say slacker

Half the bread in our home

All the meat in your part

Destined to poverty but enjoying fast

Our death is cheapest

Until our exploitation will

Until then you must nurture

Your right to education

No one supported us

Whenever we must educate

All your organs must cry.Spjayswal67 (talk) 08:29, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey Cunard, I just wanted to give you a heads up that we have now received permission for the material you from the Anne Aghion article earlier. The talk page page has been [tagged] and I'll let the editor know as well.  James  ( T | C )  18:23, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for notifying me. After reverting the addition of copyrighted content, I expanded the article using secondary reliable sources, so I don't think the filmmaker's website will have other useful information that can be added to the article. I note that you wrote in your edit summary on the talk page, "permission received for http://www.icepeople.com/filmmakers.html (text only)". Since the copyright holder contacted you, would you ask them if they are willing to release any photos of Anne Aghion under the Creative Commons license? I'm thinking about pictures such as this one. And if the people who own the rights to images on icepeople.com own the rights to those on anneaghionfilms.com, this picture would be pretty good too. Cunard (talk) 23:22, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the slow response, I had actually seen the response but hadn't replied yet because I was trying to talk with a couple other agents ( I just started). I was wanting to respond with a more final answer but took longer then I expected (would have responded right away with a, I'll get back to you, if I'd known). I've sent Ms. Aghion an email to see if she would be willing to release some of her images and I'll let you know what I hear! Let me know if you need anything else.  James  ( T | C )  09:42, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No worries with taking time to do things right. It's better to approach things slowly and correctly than quickly and erroneously.

 * You must provide a reliable source that verifies that Miranda Uhl attends St. Francis Catholic High School. Original research is not allowed in Wikipedia, especially for a WP:BLP. Your going to school with her is not enough to verify this piece of information. Has a newspaper written about Miranda Uhl attending SFCHS?

I will tell you once and for all that I am not sockpuppeting. Kingtut601 is one of my friends but he is not me. He writes on the same articles as I do because we share the same interest. For example, the Rusty Baker as in the article that we both fought for is his father and my employer. That is why we write on similar things. I do not appreciate that you accused me of this before asking me if I did it in the first place. As for Miranda, I have no idea if their is an article that specifically states that she attends SFCHS. You may search for one if you wish. Also, you could email SFCHS for a record of her attendence at the school. Their wensite is sfchs.org.--Johncoracing48 (talk) 01:14, 22 March 2010 (UTC)


 * What you have described above is meatpuppetry, which is forbidden on Wikipedia. If you are innocent of sockpuppetry, you do not need to worry, since a checkuser will confirm whether you have been using multiple accounts. As for Miranda Uhl, I have found this document from sfchs.org which verifies that she attends the school. I have restored the information and added the source.
