Daisy (advertisement)‎
Can you take a look at Daisy (advertisement)‎? An IP edited the article and has messed things up - i tried to fix it but i could use help - especially because the IP seemed to think the Daisy girl messing up her numbers was scripted - it wasn't, it was just the child actress being a three year toddler and toddlers don't know their numbers that well and do not have the ability to truly act or follow a script.

Proposed deletion of Skintern


The article Skintern has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * non notable neologism

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

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

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

In this comment he wrote "It should definitely be more balanced than suggested because there is a great deal of hoyah and bromance to the metal scene, if it cannot be sources (which it can, be emphasising more avant-garde, performance based elements of the genre) perhaps a cartoon of (famous singer omitted) nuts deep in a 16 year old boy would suffice.

refimprove tag
You got it all wrong - I think we need to bolster that article against accusations of POV pushing by trying to find more mainstream references for assertions of facts. Some of the facts asserted ARE supported ONLY by "fringey" sopurces. Let's both work on that and see if we can improve the list of references. Don't assume that just because another editor states that the reference list is kinda one-sided that they hate the idea of improving the article. I've already put on hold two of the books you cited, so I can read them in full and see what they have to say in totality and if they shake out any other notations. Putting a references needed tag often brings HELPFUL editors and .. it can stave off editors with agendas since it challenges them to BE BOLD and go and find some new reliable sources if they don't like the ones that are there. We can do this! We have the technology! Best wishesLiPollis (talk) 22:44, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Got your message on my Talk Page. Impressive feat.  I believe that having that article listed on the DYK section of the front page is partially responsible for its massive hits and that's good.  Taht should bring other editors, hopefully skilled ones, to the article.  If you see my User Page, as opposed to just my Talk Page, I am an Inclusionist.  I don't like people to delete articles for lack of sources or because they think the subject is too "fringey" or "Conspiracy-oriented" until they make a good-faith effort to improve the article and bring it up to standard.  If Good-faith editors cannot improve a topic, then that might signal a problem with the topic ; not the mere lack of reliable sources.  I'm going to Watch the article too and do some reading.  I live in LA and my husband and I were on our first date the night Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were murdered, so the topic caught my eye.  On our 2nd date, we took off work early to drive out to a chinese laser disc store and got stuck on the freeways during the infamous Slow-Speed Chase.  In an odd way, The Simpson case is part of our back-story as a couple.  Weird, eh?  Best wishes and happy editing.  Sincerely, Lisa. LiPollis (talk) 18:14, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 15 December
''This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.'' As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. The general confidentiality agreement is now ready, and the OTRS agreement will be ready after 22 September 2015. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnum@undefinedwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,

African-American Cemetery Category
I was going to post this on Category:African-American_cemeteries talk page but it suggested there were few watchers. And I believe you created or substantially contributed to African-American_Cemetery_(Montgomery,_New_York) so I am posting here. I am interested in documenting the growing number of rural African-American cemeteries, personally my focus would be Hudson Valley or NY State. Of course many old African-American cemeteries were not marked or not marked well and have been left "undiscovered" for a century. There has been more attention to these (Mt Zion in Kingston recently rededicated, "Section E" in Rhinebeck, Kinderhook and I see others coming into view). Two questions. 1) Notability. These would not be Nationally Registered historic places, but collectively they add up an often unarticulated history of African Americans in rural NYS in the 18th and 19th centuries that was historically not been documented.  2) If qualifying as notable, should there be a new category that would recognize this distinction, such as "African-American rural cemeteries" or "African-American rural cemeteries in NY State."

Image of 17 Barton Street
Hi, I saw that you added a photo of 17 Barton Street, Macclesfield, and referred to it as the house where Ian Curtis lived and died. I was wondering if you had a source for this particular address? I ask because most available sources (for example http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/lifelong-fan-behind-joy-division-9342791) give the address of his house as 77 Barton Street - which is on a different street corner, and looks noticeably different. --David Edgar (talk) 21:24, 23 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your response. Yes, I see now what your photo is showing - what I think is the front door of 77 is just round the back corner out of shot. But yes, it's not numbered, unhelpfully. I do have a photo but it's not really that great (the light was from the wrong direction). I'll try and get down there some time and get a better one. --David Edgar (talk) 01:36, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Howard Sims
Hi, thanks for your review of my DYK nomination (as it's my first, please instruct me if your talk page was the wrong place to reply, and feel free to move this to the correct spot as appropriate). You said "All we need is the hook fact cited in the intro where it first appears and we can run this." Did that mean that the specific year range (1950s–2000) mentioned in the hook should be explicitly stated in the lead, or that an inline citation should be placed by the statement in the lead? It was my understanding that the lead section should generally be unreferenced, except in the case of direct quotations or very contentious facts. — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 00:53, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

On DYK, as I have moved Log School House (Yellowknife) to prep today. Good work! It looks more like a bar than a schoolroom, but it reminded me particularly of this fellow 1930s building on this side of the Atlantic. Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!)  21:56, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Dump months
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Dump months you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Cirt -- Cirt (talk) 11:00, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Dump months
The article Dump months you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Dump months for things which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Cirt -- Cirt (talk) 02:01, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Daniel, I came across dump months, and as a reader, I highly commend your work on this topic! I really enjoyed reading about the factors and the history of dump months. It is incredibly informative. Nice job! Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 18:31, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Streep and Hathaway in DWP film.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Streep and Hathaway in DWP film.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

Dear Fellow Wikipedians,

I JethroBT (WMF) suggested that I consult with fellow Wikipedians to get feedback and help to improve my idea about "As an unparalleled way to raise awareness of the Wikimedia projects, I propose to create a tremendous media opportunity presented by launching Wikipedia via space travel."

Please see the idea at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Wikipedia_likes_Galactic_Exploration_for_Posterity_2015. Please post your suggestions on the talk page and please feel free to edit the idea and join the project.

Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. I appreciate it.

My best regards, Geraldshields11 (talk) 22:07, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much for any GA Reviews you do at all, because you can now see at WP:GAN besides the reviewer or nominator's username how many reviews they have done, and many nominators do not review at all.

Heh, your method of physically printing out the article is interesting, it reminds me of an arbcom case years ago where in order to decide it, one of the arbitrators printed out the entire case and it was "more than 400 pages printed out".

At least reviewing at WP:GAN is, generally, easier than that.

Thanks again very much for your Quality improvement efforts on Wikipedia,

Deaths and disappearances aren't always connected.
It is quite possible that a man can be responsible for an abduction while another is responsible for a death. I can kidnap you, intending to keep you alive, before someone else (or nature) ruins my plan. Probably why buddy and the Post noted both things.

Reminder: Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 15 December
''This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.'' I wanted to follow-up on an message I sent you in September regarding the need for you to sign a confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 31 December 2015) in order to maintain your access from Wikimedia to nonpublic information.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are transitioning to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 31 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this message because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015, you will lose your access to nonpublic information.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnum@undefinedwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 31 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage)
Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.

This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in Translators available list.

Thanking you with warm regards Mahitgar (talk) 05:13, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Great job with the Featured Picture nomination. The Devil Wears Prada is a most entertaining film. The Wikipedia article is quite high-quality no doubt, but I do see several areas where it could be improved upon further -- before going for a Peer Review (which I'd recommend next), and then WP:FAC. Perhaps Peer Review would be a good place to leave my suggestions, let me know what you think. And good luck, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 04:46, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Arbitration statement
Hi, Daniel Case. I'm an arbitration clerk, which means I help manage and administer the arbitration process (on behalf of the committee). Thank you for making a statement in an arbitration request at Arbitration/Requests/Case. However, we ask all participants and commentators to limit the size of their initial statements to 500 words. Your statement significantly exceeds this limit. Please reduce the length of your statement when you are next online. If the case is accepted, you will have the opportunity to present more evidence; and concise, factual statements are much more likely to be understood and to influence the decisions of the Arbitrators.

Requests for exemption can be made either at the page in question or to the Arbitration Committee mailing list.

Following up
Hi Daniel. A couple of months ago you made a really good post on my talk page about a DYK hook of yours I pulled. I'm just dropping to say thanks again for it. Today there was a similar situation, but thanks to your comments back then, this time I had more of a focus on notifying the involved parties and getting a new hook for the article to replace it. In the end, this DYK only ended up being pulled for about half an hour. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 11:49, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Template:Did you know nominations/Announcerless Game
Can you create an ALT? Sets for the 20th are full, and I could not change the set because the nominations that are promoted are older than this. We want others to be featured as soon as possible, so you have plenty of time to come up with a newer hook. --George Ho (talk) 19:35, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * This is not an excuse. Last-minute exceptions have always been made for DYK editors, especially when they post on the WT:DYK page a few days in advance. Please remove your "no" icon and let this run on December 20. Yoninah (talk) 21:45, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * P.S. It is not necessarily true that these hooks are "older", as prep builders pull hooks from all parts of the T:TDYK noms page. Moreover, Special Occasion requests are always promoted first.

Sodders
Late on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1945, in Fayetteville, West Virginia, United States, a fire destroyed the home of George and Jenny Sodder and nine of their ten children.


 * I am aware of the MOS recommendation that you mentioned; however, I was mainly trying to fix the rather HUGE PROBLEM with your opening sentence (above). The fire didn't DESTROY nine of their ten children. That is what the sentence alleges. --♥Golf (talk) 18:58, 24 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I reread that sentence a few times and on second thought it is fine as written. Never mind the above.  The fire didn't affect the son who was away in the army. Interesting article!  Keep up the excellent work. --♥Golf (talk) 19:15, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Help decide the future of Wikimania


The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).

After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey.

In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.

With thanks,

Unblock request
Hi, Daniel, we've been getting a request to unblock an account via OTRS. I understand that the user in question has an indefinite block for writing promotional material, and that you are the blocking admin. I don't know the real history of this account, but the user seems very interested in being allowed to edit again and seems to understand Wikipedia policy better than she did before she was blocked. Am wondering if you'd be willing to take another look at the situation and give me an assessment. If you still think the account should be blocked, that's fine: just lay it out for me so that I can lay it out for her. On the other hand, if you are willing to consider unblocking the account, that would also be fine: let me know so I can let her know. I guess right now she feels like a lone voice in the wilderness. An indefinite block is a fairly serious thing, and I don't expect you to undo it without due consideration. As an OTRS volunteer, I am trying to do my due diligence and help out a user who seems to be in need. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks! KDS 4444 Talk  09:34, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Re Campaign 139.
Hello,

I am not quite sure what response you are requesting. I do have a dozen workspaces I use for construction of my articles, as many of my drafts overlap in subject matter; I import my completed article drafts from there as I finish them. If you are inquiring about my abortive start for this article, when I failed to import its entirety, I overwrote it with the complete text on my next try. Then after creating the article, I deleted the draft, as is my custom. However, if you are worried by my occasional usage of shared Overview and/or Background sections between articles, I supply ample unshared original text to fulfill length requirements for articles. Usually, I remember to mark these shared sections. I hope that satisfactorily answers your questions about my creative process.Georgejdorner (talk) 17:59, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I use wiki workspaces for my rough drafts. I did not know that Edit history had to be imported along with the draft of a new article. Frankly, I can't see the use of that, except to sow confusion among reviewers as to date of article creation. Certainly, a recopied Edit history should not be used for reverting a pre-publication edit, so what is the use?Georgejdorner (talk) 20:17, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, any time I move an article out of workspace, I delete the draft so I can begin another article there. I suppose one could scrounge through Edit history and transplant my rough draft revisions for a given rough draft onto Edit history of the new article, but to what purpose? So that someone can revert my finished article to an incomplete state? That is just plain senseless.
 * Of course, if I do use the Move tab, I move ALL the edit histories lingering attached to that workspace, not just one.
 * And if the purpose is to allow other editors to share in my creating an article, we are verging on a Naked Came the Stranger situation.
 * Also, as you have pointed out, if my workspace were in Word, there would be no Edit history. So, if the creative founding edit history is so darned important, why aren't such imports disallowed from offline?
 * Sorry, but in this instance, I believe we are observing a WikiBlunder.Georgejdorner (talk) 23:45, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I believe I have stumbled across the consensus that covers pre-publication attribution at WP:NOATT. "Not everything copied from one Wikipedia page to another requires attribution. If the re-user is the sole contributor of the text at the other page, attribution is not necessary. Content rewritten in one's own words does not need attribution."Georgejdorner (talk) 15:50, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm writing it on the Loyalist community in Newburgh during the Revolution, examining its origin, its composition (e.g. religion, wealth, occupation, etc.), their war experiences, and then the post-war exile of those who went to Canada and beyond. Gardner was certainly a notable Loyalist.

RE: Murder of Michael Nigg article
Thanks for your notes you left me and the work you've done on the article. We are in a bit of a pickle here, aren't we? The few books that reference a possible narcotics connection to his death were written with the purpose of promoting the "O.J. couldn't be guilty because it was a drug cartel conspiracy" alternate theory of the Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman's murders. I suppose I really do need to re-read those books and some others from the other point of view to see what the various authors state and to whom they spoke. I'll give it a try and see what if anything I can pull out of the conjecture by Nigg's purported friends and acquaintances. For a book, all a writer has to do is note what a person said and when they spoke to them and sometimes they barely do that at all. If the authors' were citing published or aired interviews, that might be a source of more info. There may also be more info available via the internet archive and local newspapers. I don't have a huge amount of free time, but I'd like to help get this article to the point where it seems less of an argument for OJ Simpson's innocence and more about the mystery his death seems to suggest.

File:YMCA single cover.jpg
I tagged this image for slow but speedy deletion because Beast from da East switched the image from the Japanese front cover of the single to some album cover of Cruisin'. Actually, I'm planning to upload the US vinyl side label as the replacement. You were the original uploader, so I want to contact you instead. Of course, you can re-upload the Japanese front cover, but I would like to upload the US side label also. You are also an administrator, so you may have special tools to recover the Japanese image unless you allow me to replace either image with the US side label instead. Thoughts? --George Ho (talk) 05:52, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually... I would rather use the US side label if you don't mind. After all, it's American, and the song is American. Beside, picture sleeves of oversea releases, including the Japanese one, are about the same as Cruisin' (album). No need to reupload the Japanese one unless you're not allowing me to upload the US side label, are you? --George Ho (talk) 05:58, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done. --George Ho (talk) 06:14, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Extra ping
Hey, DC, just an extra ping about DYK; I had a question about your proposed hook. I don't really think the hook is wrong per se (though looking at the timeline of the GitHub repo, it might be more accurate to say that USBKill was developed in response to the conviction rather than the arrest); it's just that i don't think the source directly supports it. Not something that should derail anything, though, just wanted to hear your opinion of it before rubber-stamping the nom. Thanks, and sorry to be a PITA, Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 19:01, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

LavaBaron's editing restrictions
I am writing this message to you because you put yourself down as a regular admin at DYK.

Per this AN thread, LavaBaron is given editing restrictions on DYK. Any hook nominated or reviewed by LavaBaron must be reviewed by a second editor before it may be promoted to the main page. The restrictions are reproduced below as follows:

--Deryck C. 13:45, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * 1)    A DYK article nomination or hook submitted by LavaBaron must be reviewed and accepted by 2 other editors before it may be promoted.
 * 2)    Any DYK nomination reviewed by LavaBaron must also be reviewed and accepted by 1 other editor before it may be promoted.
 * 3)    Any additional reviews by other editors, which are mandated by this restriction, shall count towards the QPQ of that editor.
 * 4)    (To balance the maths) For each article submitted by LavaBaron to DYK, 2 QPQ reviews by LavaBaron are required, at least 1 of which shall be a nomination that had not yet been accepted by another editor.
 * 5)    These restrictions shall initially last for a period of 3 months. At the end of the period, this restriction shall be reviewed.

Wikimania aftereffects
Y'know, Wikimania is very good at getting you to enthusiastically embrace things that maybe it'd have been wiser not to have. Like a 100 wikidays variant. Heh. Still, though, it worked out fairly well. And it helped revitalise En-wiki's FPC process, which was looking a bit sparsely-populated after Wikimania (I wonder why?)

Oh, before I forget, Nathaniel got the Gauloises. Thank you so much for that; it cheered him up when he was a bit down, so... =)

This matter
Hi Daniel Case,

I noticed that you were "quite" heavily involved with this (now blocked) user, hence I guess that this new thing could perhaps interest you. Though said sockmaster has obviously socked extensively and was blocked accordingly on that ground, I've had a brief look myself as well at the editorial conduct, and I don't really see, at first glance, striking resemblances with Satt 2, even though he/she received that tag. Perhaps this needs a more thorough evaluation, when time allows us? What do you think? Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 19:28, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
