As someone who commented on the BLP workshop I created, please review this proposal to see if it is something that the community would support.

Harsh constructive criticism is very welcome!

Better to figure out the potential objections now. I am looking to remedy any potential objections by the community.

AfD nomination of Sophie Wu
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Sophie Wu. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Sophie Wu. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:07, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the help
I wasn't sure what I was doing (as I got an error message when I first tried to add my citations to the cosmic cloud/dust article), so thanks for checking things out and making sure they were as they were supposed to be. I guess you have to manually add a reference section to an article before you can cite facts with in-text numbered-superscript references (like i tried to do and hopefully succeeded)? re: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Interstellar_cloud&oldid=343333135 --Δζ (talk) 04:11, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, I'm sorry to bother you, but on that same page, Interstellar Cloud, I had another issue. I tried to link citation three to an abstract of a cited journal (the Nature one) but it comes out as an internal wikipedia link and I'm not sure how to fix that.  The text is fine (I think), its just that the title of the article in the ref links to a nonexistant wikipedia page rather than the intended Nature webpage containing the free abstract.  If you feel like it, could you fix this?  Also, could you let me know how you cite webpages?  On the citation you cleaned up for me earlier on the same page, interstellar cloud, you changed my bare url to a better MLA-style cite using wiki markup.  I've been coppying the markup for new cites, but is there some generator that you used or something that makes it easier, i.e. where you can just insert the various items (author, title, volume, et cet) and pop out the wiki-style markup?  Thanks for the help.--Δζ (talk) 14:45, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Your VOTE 2 vote at CDA
Hi Graeme,

you are receiving this message as you voted in VOTE 2 at the recent Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll. Unfortunately, there is a hitch regarding the "none" vote that can theoretically affect all votes.

1) Background of VOTE 2:

In a working example of CDA; ater the 'discussion and polling phase' is over, if the "rule of thumb" baseline percentage for Support votes has been reached, the bureaucrats can start to decide whether to desysop an admin, based in part on the evidence of the prior debate. This 'baseline' has now been slightly-adjusted to 65% (from 70%) per VOTE 1. VOTE 2 was asking if there is a ballpark area where the community consensus is so strong, that the bureaucrats should consider desysopping 'automatically'. This 'threshold' was set at 80%, and could change pending agreement on the VOTE 2 results.

This was VOTE 2;


 * Do you prefer a 'desysop threshold' of 80% or 90%, or having none at all?


 * As a "rule of thumb", the Bureaucrats will automatically de-sysop the Administrator standing under CDA if the percentage reaches this 'threshold'. Currently it is 80% (per proposal 5.4).


 * Please vote "80" or "90", or "None", giving a second preference if you have one.

This is the VOTE 2 question without any ambiguity;


 * Do you prefer a "rule of thumb" 'auto-desysop' percentage of 80%, 90%, or "none"?


 * Where "none" means that there is no need for a point where the bureaucrats can automatically desysop.


 * Please vote "80" or "90", or "None", giving a second preference if you have one.

2) What was wrong with VOTE 2?

Since the poll, it has been suggested that ambiguity in the term "none at all" could have affected some of the votes. Consequently there has been no consensus over what percentage to settle on, or how to create a new compromise percentage. The poll results are summarised here.

3)  How to help:

Directly below this querying message, please can you;


 * Clarify what you meant if you voted "none".


 * In cases where the question was genuinely misunderstood, change your initial vote if you wish to (please explain the ambiguity, and don't forget to leave a second choice if you have one).


 * Please do nothing if you interpreted the question correctly (or just confirm this if you wish), as this query cannot be a new vote.

I realise that many of you clarified your meaning after your initial vote, but the only realistic way to move forward is to be as inclusive as possible in this vote query. Sorry for the inconvenience,

Matt Lewis (talk) 14:32, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * WEll I could not find my vote on this issue, I would have voted none as in the new improved meaning of the question, so I need do nothing. What I thought none meant, was leave it up to the Bureaucrats to decide. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:33, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I have a copy of one hundred islands - the flora of the outer furneaux - and am likely to some rather drastic changes to the article - if you want to offer your salient advice or whatever before it happens - here is your chance... I basically have spent over 2 years admonishing indonesian project low english ips to not add meaningless unalpha lists of things - and am planning to do some radical things with the article - which offends me as it is - seeing you are a predominant ed at the current version thought the least you need is the option to plead for its current odd state or be warned it will be changing - cheers SatuSuro 06:57, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Havent made up my mind - was thinking of a list of islands might be more apporptiate (I often wonder where my negs of when I used to fly across tassie in the last century (so it feels) between queenie (sic) and hobart ever went : It was a regular service in the mid 70's and if the winds were dickie at queenie they used to land at strahan instead :( SatuSuro 08:53, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

 * Please see: Requests_for_comment/Biographies_of_living_people

As other editors have pointed out, there has been several intentional moves in this request for comment:
 * 1) Arguing that change is inevitable.   As anyone who has tried to change policy here knows, change is never inevitable.
 * 2) In closing Phase I,  only one position is advocated, marginalizing or ignoring all other positions.
 * 3) Repeated attempts to silence editors, particularly me. See Arbitration/Requests and An
 * 4) Attrition, having the argument drag out so long, and editors get so tired of the discussion, that editors will either:
 * drop out of the discussion, or
 * accept a proposal which if originally proposed, would get wide spread opposition.

The end result is that editors who support radical, disruptive change, control the conversation, and less involved editors think that they only have a narrow list of choices, and !vote to accept bitey proposals which will only further hurt wikipedia growth and bite newcomers. Compromise means that both sides give up something.

I would possibly support this proposal if it includes strong WP:BEFORE language, to help protect new editors contributions, as the Requests for comment/Biographies of living people proposal, which has 19 supports, advocates.

As the creator of WP:Contest and as someone who is advocating bots on Bot requests I know there are less disruptive and WP:BITE alternatives available.

I would strongly encourage you to reconsider your position. Okip  12:51, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * See also Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_comment/Biographies_of_living_people Which completely supports the idea that this is a false consensus. Okip  14:20, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Why was this deleted? As you can see from the following disambig, the Pirate Party of Canada is a legitimate organization that falls under the Pirate Party International umbrella, and should be treated as such, not a club with no notability.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Cambridge School, Doha, Qatar
Hello Graeme. I see you declined my speedy deletion nomination of The Cambridge School, Doha, Qatar, but you gave no reason. I wonder if you would tell me what your reason was? The article contains substantial verbatim copies of material from pages which are clearly labelled with notices such as "All contents copyright © Taleb Group. All rights reserved", so I should have thought it was an unambiguous copyright violation. If not, I should be very grateful if you could explain why not.

User:ScreamingRage01/NextSeptember
You declined the copyvio CSD stating "speedy delete declined, may be based on Wikipedia article, but not so similar as to be a copyvio", however you seemed to have misunderstood my tagging. Both his user space version, and the "live" article (which he copied from his user space) are copyvio from the Smashing Pumpkin's bio, with just the names and basic details changed.. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 13:47, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That lyrics freak article is a copy and slight derivative of the Wikipedia article on Smashing Pumpkins, so cc-by-sa-3.0 applies. User:ScreamingRage01/NextSeptember just needs to attribute the page. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:56, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The lyrics freak page does not say that, but it does have a copyright notice. Are you certain it is a copy of Wikipedia, and not the other way around? -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 21:04, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well I think you should be tagging the Smashing Pumpkins page if you think it is a copy vio, but speedy delete only applies in unequivocal cases, here there is doubt, so it should be listed at copyright problems instead. I would suspect lyrics freak of the copy. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:08, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Selahattin Ülkümen‎
This article is indeed a copyright violation, see this diff which is the first edit of the article, this text comes from http://www.ulkumen.net/ so this whole article has been created from copyrighted content and has to be cleaned.--Kimdime (talk) 10:31, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Note that I already had a problem with another admin regarding copyvio on en:wikipedia. It seems that here you are really fast and never make a look on discussions pages when a copyright violation is detected. I had to put back the template 2 times on this article because you and another user removed it. This is not acceptable, one should be helped in his copyvio fight, not reverted by an admin--Kimdime (talk) 10:42, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The current version was not a violation, I have deleted old versions, and left the stub now. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:46, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well the current version wasn't a violation because an editor unaware of copyright rules decided to remove my tag and stubify the article, thing that can clearly be seen in the history you deleted. By the way, I don't understand why you replaced the article with a stub that you didn't write. In order to respect the licence, you should credit the authors of this stub. One simple thing you could have done is avoiding to delete the version of which created this stub and to credit the others authors adding their name into the discussion page.--Kimdime (talk) 12:04, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Look at the history, Themfromspace is credited, I have to delete everything before I can restore. That stub was the only copy free of tags or copyvio. I am not credited in the history. Only in the delete actions. Do believe that any other content came from anyone else? If you really think it worth while I can put the deleted history on talk page. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:10, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * This is my mistake, sorry for that, I mixed your names. Regarding the others editors, Themfromspace stated that he took this stub from older versions see so I guess yes, others editors have to be credited. Regards--Kimdime (talk) 12:15, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've done it myself with the list provided by Themfromspace, end of the problem!--Kimdime (talk) 12:24, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi friend! and thanks for helping me, I read the criteria and it meets all except one: Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.. I mean, people understand who Dahmer is with or without the pic. but with this pic, we show him looking different, because in YouTube they say in Wikipedia is totally diferent, and I thought it would be great to have him with glasses and without moustache, like he was at trial.

You posted to the page: You are going to have to show that you own copyright on a photo of yourself. Normally the photographer will own copyright.

I am the photographer, not the girl. Also I'm not inclined to provide free photos of much higher resolution because pageant pages are vandalized and photos stolen often. I may change the photo to a slightly higher resolution, but I complied with the requirements and you received the email required in the instructions from me. You can identify this email because it contains my name, address, phone and was sent from a domain that you may privately use as a challenge and response to confirm that it really is me. Based on my other pictures contributed, it should be obvious that it's my picture.

Additionally I'd like a private message before I turn in a sock puppet and vandal. I have read all information so don't just give me a link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elite194 (talk • contribs) 06:20, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I see you've deleted the above image on the grounds that it was tagged NC. I don't know if it was or not, but I think this is a bit harsh - considering it was taken at Wikimania, and that I was given no time to contact the photographer.

Is making caustic soda really an assertion of notability? It's not saying they invented it, it's saying they're one of many companies which manufacture it.
 * A factory that can do the things they do is significant, so its a claim of importance. Ultimately the company may not be notable though. so use prod or AFD. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It can manufacture sodium hydroxide? I never saw that appearing in WP:ORG. "assertion of notability" = something which may pass the relevant notability guideline. Ironholds (talk) 23:37, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It is not just that it also has plenty of google hits including trade mags, and government sites, so it would pass WP:N. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:41, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Then put that as your argument, not something that doesn't appear in a single notability guideline. Having a valid argument for keeping a BLP, say, is good. Choosing to replace that argument with "has pretty hair" when declining a speedy is not. Ironholds (talk) 23:42, 27 March 2010 (UTC)


 * An additional point; google hits is irrelevant for CSD. Why? Because CSD is based on whether or not the article indicates some basis for notability. Adding those valid and relevant google bits to the article and declining the speedy, fine. Declining the speedy based on something other than the content of the article is not. Ironholds (talk) 23:46, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * If the topic looks notable based on non article content then I may decline the speedy delete. In this case I thought content already was sufficient to keep that article, but there was more support outside too. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:43, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

File:Carlsbad vs artesia 2009.jpg
I'm not aware of any NFL team with those colors/logos, so the rationale for deletion seems sketchy. This looks like a shot from the stands of a high school game. The upload seems legit to me. — BQZip01 — talk 06:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well it was a duplicate of another file, which is still around at File:Carlsbad vs artesia 2.jpg. I did not delete that one. The upload was not in question. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:46, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah. Thanks! — BQZip01 —  talk 23:33, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Annotated on the deletion notes now. — BQZip01 —  talk 02:08, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Can you please be specific on why you declined the SD tag, so I can learn and better tag articles. C T J F 8 3 chat 18:17, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Two things: the article claimed this: "made a great impact upon the community of South Lake Tahoe" (though that seems to have changed in later editions) and it had 2 newspaper references already, so there was some sort of claim already. 2 newspapers comes close to the WP:N standard.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Card_Hub_logo.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Card_Hub_logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 21:42, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Sorry about that, It was totally unintentional. I must have been confused with which part of your signature to click, not that it is too complex! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:21, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Category moves
Hello. I got your message the other day about the college football season category deletions/moves that I nominated. You suggested that I update all the relevant articles with the new category before the old one is deleted, but User:Cydebot has made these necessary changes automatically; see 1881 Michigan Wolverines football team. I want to make more change to the college football season categories. Specifically, "College" needs to be removed from all seasons between 1906 and 1955 as it is redundant given IAAUS/NCAA in those category names. Plus, college shouldn't be capitalized there even if it wasn't redundant. Will User:Cydebot make similar updates for these categories as well? Thanks. Jweiss11 (talk) 21:18, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * They are all gone now anyway, thanks for answering! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:19, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

The name of North-West Frontier Province was changed to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. I made the move but some mistake occurred and talk did not move. Can you please check and fix it. Thanks. AlphaGamma1991 (talk) 21:43, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Deleted articles
Hi Graeme Bartlett,

I copied the text of the following articles from my website and some images taken by myself to Wikipedia in order to offer an added value to the community of the work I've done. Can you please re-activate both links? The corresponding links I added below.

Do you need any additional information? It is ok for me to have the work under the license Wikipedia uses.

Sticky prods
Hi. You participated earlier in the sticky prod workshop. The sticky prods are now in use, but there are still a few points of contention.

There are now a few proposals on the table to conclude the process.

I encourage your input, whatever it might be. Thanks. Maurreen (talk) 16:12, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Marilyn Clement
Hi. You might be interested to know that Marilyn Clement is up for AfD. You didn't get a note automatically as you were not the original author but you did expand it from a one line speedy deletion candidate to a short stub so I thought maybe you might want to comment on the AfD. BTW, The original author just got himself indefinitely blocked for being an obnoxious, POV pushing bozo so I guess it is "your article" now. ;-) --DanielRigal (talk) 18:09, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Bank talk pages
You're right, sometimes the history of blank talkpages has something relevant. For this reason I checked it. In my opinion the history of Talk:Sabae, Fukui did not contain anything relevant. -- Basilicofresco  (msg) 06:13, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me out with the deleted articles. I would like to point out though that I was not contesting any PRODs. I asked to have them userfied. Dismas |(talk) 07:35, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Whoa
Whoops! (Oh by the way, hi!) Well I just userfied a familiar-looking "HOODYWOOD RECORDS" when I realized that If you have any objections to the userfication, you have my full permission to undo it. Had I seen your request earlier I would have followed suit. Take good care,   A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 20:11, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) you had already declined a similar request (at requests for undeletion).
 * 2) I had already declined a similar request
 * 3) and I had already closed a deletion discussion on it (Articles for deletion/Hoodywood Records)
 * That is not a problem, as I offered to userfy it too. Now I know it is done. The user just asked why it was deleted. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:39, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! Sorry for creating all this ruckus.  Cheers,    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 21:55, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello,

Thank you for the message, and sorry for the mess, I don't know very much about these license things. I've re-uploaded the image under the ShareAlike 3.0 license, but the warning seems still present on the page... This image comes from a website, and the webmaster gave me permision by e-mail to port it on Wikipedia. If I made a mistake, could you please help me and correct it ? I'd like to use this image for the René Guénon article. Thank you ! - <font face="sans-serif">TwoHorned User_talk:TwoHorned 22:09, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
