User:212.44.58.224
Hello Ged UK, I saw you placed a last warning on User:212.44.58.224. I just caught him vandalizing the Hypothermia page and reverted his edits. I guess you can block him. Thank you. Uirauna (talk) 13:35, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but I'm not an admin! I'll check the IP, but you can request at WP:AIV if they're not already blocked. -- Ged UK  18:05, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Your RfA
Hey Ged - thanks for your your message regarding my failed RfA. I appreciate your participation and support, and honestly I'm thrilled if my RfA can point out pitfalls to great editors like you to avoid on your own RfA. I'm looking forward to supporting that when that comes up, and would also be happy to nom or co-nom.  Flying  Toaster  23:00, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey there, not a problem! I'm not going to run quite yet, I've got a few projects to get out of the way, mainly getting Jimmy Cagney to featured article (though i will probably be satisfied with GA before running). Thanks for your support :) -- Ged UK  23:05, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm going to go for it! user:Camaron has agreed to nominate me, so if you still want to co-nom me, then feel free to discuss with him. -- Ged UK  08:55, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I can't think of a subtle way to ask this without the risk of offending you, but I'm worrying now that your co-nom might be used by some editors as a bad thing as you recently failed yours. SoWhy mentioned this (see further down my talk page), and whilst i did consider it before, it is also starting to nag at me. Do you think it might be an issue?


 * Hey Ged - absolutely not a problem, I understand the concern and did mention this to Camaron. I can see where SoWhy is coming from on the second point ("some people might assume she can't do CSD") more than the first (we can't co-nom together why?), but especially since you already have a co-nom I'm happy to bow out.  Good luck to you!   Flying  Toaster  17:20, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * As for the first point, I just thought you might think it weird, if that happens. I do have some weird fears sometimes, so you'd best ignore that one ;-)  So Why  17:24, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks both! -- Ged UK  18:53, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Although it's still your decision, you can still choose which co-nom (or both) you want to have. Just tell me how you decide. Regards  So Why  19:17, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, as FT has withdrawn, i'd be very happy for you to co-nom :) -- Ged UK  19:22, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd be happy to give it to you. Just poke me once the nomination page has been created. Regards  So Why  19:31, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks :) -- Ged UK  10:50, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Cagney
Notes re. Leed;

1. Everything should be read as IMHO, it's all just suggestions and thoughts, but if I write 'maybe this' or 'perhaps that' it's a bit boring, so I'll just state ideas etc

2. It's in rough note form, so if you don't understand something, say so

common name at top, Jim Cagney? means reworking head

film star or movie star?

Is 'public enemy' significant enough to be in the leed?

best known TODAY scratch today

tap dancing kid could go from leed; it's a bit 'on its own'; is it important enough? (Maybe with the rework stated, leed will get smaller, which might be a good thing) If not removed then the word "first" is superfluous in "first started tap"

Re. "every sailor" - if there's no wikilink, you need to say what it was - a musical? Or, prob better, create a stub for it.

vaudeville 2 links within leed

I don't know, but "on the vaudeville tour" may be better as just "in vaudeville" if that's the right expression? (Not my field)

"Cagney secured " > He secured

Penny arcade - again, make stub? Or specify movie, whatever. But stub would be better.

Warners - wikilink

Para starting "Cagney's seventh film " - tense should be consistent, not "would become..." and "became". Maybe the para could be reworded to join 1st 2 sentences; tricky, so I'll stop thinking about it for now.

"After this film" can prob be "Afterwards" (depending on above)

wikilink hollywood

"1938 saw Cagney" > 1938 saw him

Re. Acadamy award - consider rewording so it's linear, ie 1938 nominated 1942 won 1955 nominated again Re. "Cagney retired for 20 years in 1961, returning for a part in Ragtime mainly to aid his recovery from a stroke." - maybe better to expand on this a little; possibly too much info to cram into 1 short sentence. E.g. "Cagney retired in 1961, (some stuff he did) before suffering a stroke in 1977. (something about the stroke) returned for a part in Ragtime..."

Consider moving the "Cagney walked out" para around with the previous one, so it's all in linear time, if that can be done

"Jack Warner called him The Professional Againster," - we don't really know what that means; needs further clarification if it's going to say 'but he made tours' etc. I guess it means he was accused of cowardice?

Who is "Billie"? I guess (from infobox) Frances Cagney? Needs writing out (with nickname as well, perhaps) - infact, leed maybe ought to say when married (date).

"private life private" maybe would read better as "private life to himself" or "reclusive"

"He was a farmer in his private life, " repetition of private life

"contributed either time or funds " maybe better "contributed both time and funds " if factual

wikilink Democrats and Republicans

"His politics moved from liberal to 'arch-conservative' by the end of his life" maybe better "Towards the end of his life, his politics moved from liberal to 'arch-conservative'"

Bio
Asides


 * wikilinks - some redirects, e.g. New York City is a redirect to


 * Just stumbled across this, he was on a stamp; might be worth a mention? pic


 * Also re. pics, FAC might object to images on the left, especially at the top of a section, as in Return to Warner Bros. (1938-1942) (I think that's a no-no; check MOS)


 * Red wikilink A Lion Is In The Streets

Right, on with the reading; Bio/early life;

wikilink Norwegian

"Cagney’s mother, " > His mother

"his maternal grandfather was a Norwegian ship captain[2] while his maternal grandmother was an Irish American." maybe "her father was a Norwegian ships captain and her mother was Irish American." Even if not, I think it should be ships captain, and "was Irish..." not "was an Irish..."

Too many "Cagney" - check after rewriting; use 'he' where possible or combine sentences etc

"christened; " > christened'''. He later attributed this''' sickness...

"Stuyvesant High School in New York City in 1918" 2nd wikilink to "New York City" within this section (but for some reason uses the redirect "New York, New York" - that's prob why you didn't spot it before)

"Student Army Training Corps" is there an appropriate wikilink?

semester wikilink (please, because we're not all Americans!)

"Spanish flu epidemic" the wikilink should probably be the whole phrase, not just the 2 words, otherwise it looks like it will link to the disease rather than the specific incident. And, was it a pandemic (as that article says) or an epidemic? Should be consistent.

"He had a range of jobs early in his life, and all his earnings were given..." > "..and gave all his earnings..." (active voice)

"He was a good street fighter, fighting on his older med-student brother Harry's behalf when it was required,[16] taking on all-comers as necessary." - this sentence has poor grammer, there's several options, here is one; "He was a good street fighter, and defended his older brother, Harry, who was a medical student." - but that doesn't get in the 'all comers' part. Whatever you decide, 'medical student' needs to be written out in full.

" He was good enough for h His coaches to encouraged him to turn professional, though but his mother would not allow him it."

"baseball for a local side" maybe local team is better

"Harry, appeared on-stage" - I don't think "on stage" should be hyphenated; but, anyway, wouldn't "acted" be better? "One night, however, Harry was ill; James was not an understudy, but his photographic memory of rehearsals allowed him to stand in for his brother without making a single mistake." >

--  Chzz  ►  12:54, 6 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Fab, thanks. They're pretty well all done now. :) -- Ged UK  14:39, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Part 3
A couple of things I noticed whilst reading around;


 * Some sources seem to say that his eyes are green


 * Re. speaking Yiddish (later in the article) - he seems to have spoke a few lines in Yiddish in some films, this might be worth a mention

Carrying on from "Early career (1919-1930)";

colleague who had already seen him dance

Add wikilink to Peabody (dance) (and maybe link from there to cagney)

"He did not find it odd, nor was he embarrassed at playing a woman on stage" > "He did not find it odd to play a woman, nor was he embarrassed."

natural shy persona when he stepped onto the stage acting: "For there [on stage] I am not myself. (to avoid repeats of 'on stage')

"as a brokerage house runner." - can you add wikilinks to clarify?

stage work, however, and

"$40 a week was sent back to his mother" > "he send $40 back to his mother"

"he also acted worked as a dresser " (acted maybe confusing in this context)

portered - maybe wikilink

"Archie Leach—who would famously change his name to Cary Grant" May need rewording, as I don't think he was famous for changing his name...maybe something like "Archie Leach, who later became Cary Grant" or something like that; not sure of the wording here.

"break into acting." - repeat; maybe just "act"?

"Cagney's dance studio " - this hasn't been mentioned before; maybe needs to be said before that they/he set up a studio? "enduring failure along the way by attempting to make money on the stage." sounds odd; maybe "when attempting" or "endured failure...when they attempted..."

"only got the part of "Little Red" > the role of (avoid repeat) also, next word, "since" > "because"?

"assumed he got the part because his hair was redder "> assumed he got it as his hair was more red

Nevertheless, b Both the play...

"magazine wrote: "Mr. Cagney, in " I think this should be comma, not colon; check MOS etc, ie wrote, "Mr Cagney...

"mock-trial scene something that man" - comma needed? check quote
 * I can't see where you think there should be a comma? There isn't one in the quote anyway. -- Ged UK  16:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

"Broadway " - is there a wikilink to this musical?
 * No, Broadway (play) just redirects back to the author. -- Ged UK  16:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

"However, despite Cagney's discomfort in doing so, the show's management insisted that he copy Broadway lead Lee Tracy's performance. " - reword to avoid starting with "however" - maybe; The show's management insisted that he copy Broadway lead Lee Tracy's performance, despite Cagney's discomfort. ...and maybe combine with next sentence with "and, the day before..." etc?

"apart from the logistical difficulties this presented—their luggage was in the hold of the ship and the couple had given up their apartment—he almost quit show business." not sure about this phrase, "apart from..." because the idea of quitting was not another disaster, it was his choice because of the situation. Maybe reword?


 * I'm not seeing the problem, sorry. Could you re-explain? -- Ged UK  16:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

"run-of-the-play contracts" - needs explanation

Equity - wikilink?

"understudy role to Tracy on the Broadway show," - who or what is Tracy? and what show?
 * The show Broadway and Lee Tracy, both from the previous para. Does that need more clarification in the article? -- Ged UK  16:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

"Cagney was exhausted after both acting and " > Cagney was exhausted from acting and ...

"choreographer, and the show received rave reviews.[39] This production was followed by Grand Street Follies of 1929" maybe better as choreographer. The show received rave reviews, and was followed by Grand Street Follies of 1929

(Or maybe just remove the year part from the titles and reword, using just Grand Street Follies, and just use "continued the following year"? "because of the talent that directed them" maybe "because of the directors talent " -- Ged UK  16:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)Hmm, i see where you're coming from, but i've no evidence that the 1929 show only existed because of that, there could have been numerous reasons. -- Ged  UK  16:15, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

OK, more when I get the chance, cheers. --  Chzz  ►  12:56, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Non-Malayali Keralites versus Kerala ethnic groups
You made a comment on the AfD discussion for Non-Malayali Keralites. I did an attempt at a more neutral article as an alternative, Kerala ethnic groups, which I am sure needs a great deal of work but I think would be less controversial. One or the other should go. I would appreciate your comment in the AfD discussion. Aymatth2 (talk) 03:13, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Co-nom
I didn't want to spam on Amalthea's talk page further, so I'll post it here: It's not forbidden to have multiple co-noms but 2 or 3 are the usual level. But I do not know if it were such a good idea to co-nom with Flying Toaster. Let's face it, my oppose was elemental to fail her recent RFA and it might be somewhat strange if I co-nommed with her. Generally speaking, without wanting to imply anything or insult her, I am not sure her co-nom is a good idea at this moment. Her failed RFA is very recent and some people might assume that her judgment in those areas you want to work in, especially CSD, is not very sound. Of course, you have that problem with any nom, that people will be influenced by their actions, so it's probably just some silly fear of mine. My offer still stands of course, it's your decision to make. Regards  So Why  15:14, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did think of that. I'll mention this to her and see what she thinks. -- Ged UK  16:08, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I've seen you transcluded, good luck with it. PS: You forgot to accept the noms ;-)  So Why  15:56, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Acceptance on RfA
Just to let you know you haven't formally accepted the nomination on your RfA, I don't think it matters too much in this case as you clearly approve of the RfA, but some one will point it out sooner or later, so I thought I would be that person. Camaron | Chris (talk) 16:02, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Kyal Marsh
I don't know how to talk to you otherwise Re Kyal Marsh. But Charlotte Jackson goes to Aberdeen University so I think that student newspaper is a reliable source, surely? It is also still something written on the Kyal Marsh website. I go to Aberdeen Uni too and have met Charlotte, we have mutual friends. I think if I was Kyal's girlfriend I wouldn't be too happy that you were trying to say she might not be his girlfriend anymore...she's moving out to Melbourne once she graduates in September so they are clearly serious. Why won't you accept the sources I provide? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.35.169 (talk) 14:41, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi there. Firstly, i had no idea that she went there, so that does make it more relevant. Is that newspaper published online? Could you provide me with a link to the info on Kyal's site, that would be better, to be honest. -- Ged UK  14:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

You must have wondered why Aberdeen University newspaper would randomly be talking about her haha, sorry I should have made that clearer. It is not online but I do have a copy of it which I could send you although that is not particularly relevant when you are needing a source for this! The link on his website is this http://www.kyalmarsh.com/biography.html


 * No problem. You don't need to send it to me! Just give me as much info as you can, what issue is it (volume, or date something like that), page number, author (if known), that kinda stuff. I'll add the website link as well. Cheers :) -- Ged UK  15:06, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Reel Brazil Film Festival
Hi Ged,

I was including text on the Reel Brazil Film Fetsival. I used the same text that was on my website, but had it deleted, by you due to copyright issues. Could you please review it because I am the one who wrote the text, therefore there shouldn't be any issues with posting it on wikipedia.

Cheers,

Greenavocado


 * Hi there. Unfortunately, we can't just take your word for it, we would still be in breach of copyright law.
 * If you hold the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at with a link to where we can find that note.
 * Also, please don't use wikipedia to promote your festival, or it will keep getting deleted. If the festival is notable, please explain why, but not details of how to enter, screening info etc, as that is advertising. Thanks. -- Ged UK  22:34, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Mirror's Edge 2
Regarding the page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirrors_Edge_2

The copyright infringement is that it is an unauthorized derivative work. Looking at, for example, US copyright law, the content in the page constitutes a work based upon an existing work (the Mirror's Edge videogame), which recasts, transforms, and adapts portions of that work (e.g. characters, plot, setting). This makes it a derivative work. Making derivative works is an infringement of the copyright on the underlying work. Take a look at 17 USC 101 and 106(2). I'd be shocked if most other countries didn't have similar provisions in their copyright laws.

Outright reproduction is not the only form of infringing activity. This is why, for example, fanfic web sites can get shut down if the copyright holder is feeling obnoxious toward their fan base.

Frankly, I chose that particular rationale because it is indisputable. Since it's totally fictional, I was initially going to go with the patent nonsense one, but since the page is at least coherent (though really nothing more than fanfic or wishful thinking that doesn't belong on Wikipedia) I figured that the copyright rationale would work better, even if it wasn't really the best reason in light of the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.216.9.205 (talk) 22:39, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Whilst derivative work is an infringement of copyright law, it's generally felt that a plot description is fair use, and thus not a breach. As such, I didn't feel that it was a blatant breach, and thus failing to meet the criteria for speedy deletion. I believe that the article has now been marked for PROD, ie it will be deleted in 5 days if the notice is not removed. -- Ged UK  08:19, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Tsunomix Response
Hello! First and foremost, thanks for keepiing Wikipedia clean! I appreciate your efforts just as much as all the other users. I feel you might be mistaken in accusing me of spam or "advertising." I followed through in reviewing the notability page and article seven. I believe I have indicated how Tsunomix is noteable and signifigant. I described in this article, "The overall goal is to promote team work and financial responsibility among fellow Americans." Then I described innovative community led techniques which are unique to tsunomix. This article is not a promotion for tsunomix but a noteable description of an innovative community which avidly seek to improve their financial situation. I even made reference to facebook, myspace, and linkedin as other community models which support similiar techniques. I am open to any suggestions, however I feel I have covered all general requirements of notability and should not have been deleted. Eagerly awaiting your response!

Sincerely,

Elias Haddad feel free to email mr.eliashaddad@gmail.com


 * Hi there, thanks for messaging. Firstly, I didn't delete the article for spam, though that is what it was tagged for. I deleted it under criteria A7, as I didn't feel that there was anything within the article that asserted why this organisation was notable. The models it uses may well be notable, but there was no indication that the organisation itself is. If you wish, I can restore the article to your userspace for you to work on further, and I will be happy to advise you on ways to strengthen it. Also, sorry for the delay in responding, but my internet connection gave up last night. -- Ged UK  08:19, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Sure GEDUk sounds reasonable to me. You do not need to post it back; i have a copy i'll be working on. I would very much appreciate your feedback on the next post. I will make you aware when its back up, unless you have it on your watch list. Thanks for the response. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsunomix (talk • contribs) 19:04, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, but let me know when you want me to have a look at it. Don't just repost it or it may get deleted again. I won't be watching the page, I've too much on my watch list already! -- Ged UK  19:12, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

User:Evenmoremotor
Hi there. I saw your message this morning at User talk:Evenmoremotor about his insistence on adding the attack speedy to criminal articles. I pointed out this to him earlier yesterday, but the message was removed from his talk page so I wasn't sure if you'd seen it. Anyway, I've declined two more speedies that he had tagged. Thought I ought to let you know. Cheers -- Ged UK  08:06, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I had not seen that actually. This user is really a curious case, not sure what the user's angle is.  I think we may have actually declined the same CSDs, and I'm assuming it was accidental that you reverted my other changes to the pages as well?  .  Otherwise, I'm not sure why you'd remove a reference I added and reinstate an unsourced section about a person's penis. Oren0 (talk) 17:20, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Errr, I can't work those out either. Sorry, i must have gone odd for a few minutes there. Anyway, he seems to be taking BLP very much to heart, and it's hard to criticise him for that. Hopefully our combined messages will get through. -- Ged UK  17:28, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

This user has deleted our messages from their User Talk and continued to mark pages for deletion. I'm really not sure how to get this to stop so I've opened up an ANI thread on the issue if you're interested in chiming in. Oren0 (talk) 06:12, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Chanchai Likitjitta
I deleted the page, hope you don't mind. It was a 1:1 copy of th:ชาญชัย ลิขิตจิตถะ and as such a valid A2. A tip: If you find non-english pages tagged, select some phrases and do a quick Google search. If they are on another project, Google usually finds it. Regards  So Why  12:33, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, that's fine. My biggest problem doing this at work is that my browser doesn't render foreign characters very well, if at all, so it's difficult for me to tell what results I get back. Cheers :) -- Ged UK  12:41, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

The Treble
Hi Ged, I seem to be in a content dispute on this article where a user reverted my extensive edits and gave very little reason for their reversion. I'm not keen to start an edit war so I have not reverted back yet. Although, I fully intend to restore many of my perfectly good edits. Also, the other user is trying to muddy the waters by accusing me of introducing OR (which was already in the article) and making false accusations. I'd really like your opinion on this as I have had various disagreements in the past with this user and I could easily get a bit over the top here. Cheers. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 09:54, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi there. I've had disagreements with this user in the past as well, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. Whilst I've not edited this article, I have come across it with its links to the Liverpool Treble, so I don't think that I could call myself an involved admin either. I would suggest that you as for comments from WP:Footy in the first instance. -- Ged UK  10:25, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. That's probably a good call. I've done some extensive research and I've got some big new proposals for the page. This should ultimately solve the linking problems we've been having. We'll see how things go. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 20:28, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Block lengths
Hehm I should either stop or make a FAQ, because everyone is asking me these times! :D It's a bit of a joke, but the real reason is to have a block length longer than a year (I'm always surprised by the number of blocks we reset each September...), the rest is just for the show. That way, the school blocks never expire when school terms start :) -- lucasbfr  talk 11:39, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Btw I blocked since it's a school IP (I'm more lenient on warnings there if there's no useful contributions, and "enough" vandalism in the past month to warrant a block). I hope you don't mind :) --  lucasbfr  talk 13:25, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, that's fine. I'm still being careful with IP blocks; over-careful perhaps. -- Ged UK  13:31, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries, patrolling AIV is a good way to start learning the ropes :) A few thoughts: if you can skip block templates on IPs, don't hesitate to tag users. That way their userpage gets deleted if the block is indef, or other users that interact with them know they are blocked. And I try to block IPs for shorter times if I think they might be shared, that way you get less complaints from people wondering why the hell they are blocked when the IP gets assigned to someone else. -- lucasbfr  talk 14:12, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify; i needn't worry too much about block templates on IP addresses, but need to make sure they're on logged in users? That's fine, i can do that! -- Ged UK  14:20, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That's my opinion (well, tagging IPs is good when you're using a template such as anonblock or schoolblock is a good practice, but I don't bother when blocking a residential IP for vandalism) -- lucasbfr  talk 09:59, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, if I'm at home with Firefox, I can use the block plugin, which blocks and applies the template at the same time. At work on IE, I can't, so I ave to remember to do it manually where necessary. Seems reasonable! -- Ged UK  10:02, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

AIV
Hey, Ged. Just a quick note; reports on AIV are considered stale if the user hasn't edited in several hours or days, so anything less than that is usually considered valid. Not a big deal, though. Cheers, –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  20:27, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah OK, cool. I'll bear that in mind :) -- Ged UK  20:31, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, several hours might not be stale; several days is certainly stale. Where have you seen otherise, Julian? KillerChihuahua?!? 22:17, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, if an account has only made a few edits—both of which were 18 hours ago—I'd probably consider it stale. –Juliancolton Talk  ·  Review  13:16, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Cimbrian Language Redirect
Hi, I was wondering why you deleted the uppercase L redirect for Cimbrian language, I wasn't sure about the reasoning you put, but I don't think R3 would have fit if that's what you meant. The incorrect and common spelling error is why I made the redirect. Spinach Monster (talk) 23:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It's unneccesary. The software copes perfectly well with capitals at the starts of words. Type in Cimbrian Language into the search box and press 'Go' and it will take you straight to Cimbrian language, thus the redirect isn't necessary. -- Ged UK  07:37, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok. Now I see. Thanks. Spinach Monster (talk) 11:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

AIV
Um, am I missing something? Why do you report a vandal to AIV before you block them? If i come across a vandal, I block them without going to AIV, is that a mistake? -- Ged UK  08:08, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Just not used to only reverting and not revert+warn (that automatically submits a report to AIV) after a final warning yet sorry - I will try to keep it in mind. Camw (talk) 08:23, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It wasn't a criticism, it's no skin off anybody's nose really (except the AIV helperbots, but they don't have skin, or noses), I just thought I might be in the wrong! -- Ged UK  08:27, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, still a habit that I should try to get out of! (I don't want to annoy the bots prior to them rising up against us ;) ). Camw (talk) 08:31, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You can disable auto-reporting in HG's options. -- Menti  fisto  12:13, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

PP-tags
Things to know #882476614: When adding a tag to a template, always remember to put it in  tags, otherwise it will be transcluded and then those pages will show up in Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates.

PS: Use instead of  when protecting pages without expiry. Regards  So Why  09:13, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ahh, yes, sorry. That was my first template protect. I usually stay well away from templates, far too complicated coding-wise. -- Ged UK  10:03, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

AIV
It would appear that you and I share similar dispositions on processing AIV reports. All too often administrators are -IMHO- a bit too quick to issue long-duration blocks, so it is nice to see another admin who feels that that following the process is good. Kudos to you, sir! — Kralizec! (talk) 11:59, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * heh, thanks :) -- Ged UK  19:44, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Devendra Prabhudesai
Hey Ged. Your close of this AfD indicates that the coverage is of the author's books and not the author. But if the works are notable so is the author. Furthermore, as there are no articles on the books, this substantial coverage is lost unless it is appropriately combined in an article on the author where the book titles can be redirected. Would you consider relisting to clarify the consensus? ChildofMidnight (talk) 16:04, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't agree that the notability of books always passes to authors. I didn't make reference to the notability of his books in the close; that shouldn't have been part of the discussion. I think the consensus you are searching for would be better discussed at the Notability talk pages. -- Ged UK  17:26, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Understood. I'm going to file a deletion review request. Cheers. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:16, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

False Accusations by Lithium72990
''The user Dumaka has been editing these two articles to support his dislike of the entertainer. Notably was his revisions to the entertainer's article where he revereted a legitimate revision to another one which included the line " Next album = "Carol City Correctional - Represent". That of course is not the entertainer's next album, yet Dumaka purposely reverted it to contain the line.

''::This is not true. Everything I have post about this entertainer has been fact and NPOV. Everything Lithium as posted has been bias in support of this artist.

 * Lithium, please don't resort to personal attacks in the future, as you did and . If you find yourself in a dispute and can't work it out, seek dispute resolution. In any case, Ged, I just saw this fly by ANI and wanted to point out, for the future, that you aren't really supposed to decline unblock requests for blocks you issued yourself, but let an uninvolved admin review it instead. This one should be getting plenty of reviews in any case, I assume, now that it is at ANI. Cheers,  Amalthea  10:43, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Marketing Mine
You removed the speedy tag because you said "notability had been established". Firstly, I don't think it has been, if you had actually checked the references, they mostly do not even mention this company, and the ones that do are published by this company. In any event, notability was not the reason I nominated it, the problem is that it is blatant advertising, and that problem hasn't been fixed, so I put the tag back.

 * Not a problem. I've restored it to your userpage (User:71.116.214.86). What you need to make sure is that you make it clear why the webpage is notable. This means 3rd party sources that talk about the article and why it is important. Cheers! -- Ged UK  20:59, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

do not mean to bug but need help with the 3rd party quote on web page. you want a reference on the website? somebody to refernce the actual website added on the article? or another person to post the article.

The above unsigned comment was. I've explained about use of on the users talk page. --  Chzz  ►  21:56, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Tumi (business)
Dear Ged UK,

I do not like to make frivolous admin requests. I requested deletion of the redirect Tumi (business) because:

1. There is more than one business named Tumi, as listed on the Tumi disambiguation page.

2. There is only one business specifically named Tumi Inc..

3. Articles no longer link to Tumi (business).

Given that there are multiple business with the name Tumi, why should Tumi (business) redirect to Tumi Inc.? If anything, it should redirect to the Tumi disambiguation page, which is rather redundant, since the whole reason for the disambiguation page is to properly direct Tumi-related inquiries, since multiple entities containing the name "Tumi" are out there.

If Tumi (business) redirect cannot be deleted in spite of the above points, then what is your reason for keeping it?

Many thanks, --Lmbstl (talk) 19:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi there. Firstly, I didn't think it was a frivolous request, so don't worry on that score! CSD criteria R3 is for implausible typos or misnomers. Tumi (business) is certainly not an implausible typo, and i don't feel that it is a misnomer either. That is not an endorsement that the page should remain, or that it is pointing to the right place. My decision is based only on my interpretation of the speedy deletion criterion. The best place to discuss this is Redirects for discussion. Sorry for the delay in replying, I didn't see your message amongst the others. -- Ged UK  14:41, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

hi, I take it you have the power to delete pages, I need some help, how do i set up an info page fo Dj Ian Preston. is there a person that does it, do i do it? please help

Ian —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ianjcrangle (talk • contribs) 16:56, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * You can set up the page yourself. However, before you do, you should read 'Your First Article' which can give you the guidlines. In order for the article to stay on Wikipedia, you have to show my this person is notable, so you need to provide 3rd party (ie not by the man himself) reviews of his work that explain why he is important in his field (ie DJing). Our Notability guidelines show you the criteria you need to reach. You might be best starting it in your userspace (which is here) and getting someone to look over it, otherwise it might get deleted, and you might be disappointed! Let me know if yuo need anymore help, and welcome to Wikipedia :) -- Ged UK  13:25, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, just wondered how the notability was verified for the above article. It had been posted and deleted before (see User_talk:123erika) and is written like a CV. Smartse (talk) 19:47, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The speedy criteria is about an assertion of notability, this is different to the general notability guidelines. The previously deleted action does not apply to previous speedy deletions, only to AfDs. The article could be PRODded or AfDed. -- Ged UK  20:11, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
