Reviews of Super PLAY
Why did you delete the article, I thought this would be a good place to collect all of the grades from that magazine, and it makes it easy for all readers to add reviews for issues that i don't own.

Isn't that what wikipedia is for?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MasahiroHayamoto (talk • contribs)


 * No actually it isn't. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a series of lists. IrishGuy talk 21:12, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

But would it really be the end of the world if all the readers of this magazine could a have a free place to store all the grades?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MasahiroHayamoto (talk • contribs)

Regarding links I placed on the following articles: Richard Z. Kruspe and Emigrate

I got a notice saying that an external link I posted had been removed and to discuss it on the talk page. I feel the link is 100% relevent to this page so may I please re-insert it?

Please feel free to review the page I would like to list :)

Not advertising myself. The history of performances that I am writing about is important to alot of people in Seattle and elsewhere. Constructive input would be appreciated. If I am the source of the information that is accurate, how do I write it without quoting myself if is in fact factual?

Taking a minute
Howdy,

I thought I'd take a minute to drop by and say hello. I figure its only appropriate that we introduce ourselves, if we're going to be involved in any of the same article discussions. I'm john.

Hopefully it's clear that I do not have nearly the same level of energy on the baseball situation as Miss Mondegreen does. I've never been very interested in sports, though Shoeless Joe seems to have a special place in my heart, probably due to the movie, and an emotional connection that I have to it.

In the case of the EL in question, I really do believe that it is a good candiate for an External Link. EL's are there to link to information that would not otherwise be includable in an article. Is it trivia? Perhaps. Then again, so are lifetime batting averages and rbi's. And I think an article about a famous baseball player, that doesn't include a batting average, is lacking a significant piece of information.

I think the real questions are: Is it too much trivia? Is it really a spam site? And the answers to those are no. There is an entire group of people out there who live and breathe baseball cards. I, for one, have never collected them, and have no desire to collect them. However, to me, as a very casual reader, it was very interesting to see the list of the cards, as well as some of the old photos. As a casual, uninvolved, mostly disinterested reader, I see value in that link.

My question to you, is a private one for you to ask yourself. I don't need an answer, but I'd like you to consider the question. Why are you so adamant about removing this link? Objectively, it really isn't an obvious candidate for removal. It's not clearly spam. It doesn't clutter the article. It isn't unrelated. At worst its marginal and subjective. At best it provides a unique collection of information. WP:IAR could be used to override any 'marginal or subjective questions', if one chose to envoke it. So, for you, privately, what is the source of your resistance to this link? To me, your resistance seems personal, not professional. But that is just the energy I'm picking up from it, and I may be wrong. Consider this: If the information were available elsewhere, would you object to the alternate source being linked to? If not, then your objection is probably personal and not professional.

I would rather the link stay, but I have no desire to fight for it or revert it. I've said why I support it, and thats the last I'll say about it, unless asked again.

As for my brief remark on AN/I, I strongly believe that admins should not use their tools in situations where they are already involved as editors, or in situations where they have any significant personal history with an editor being considered for block/unblock. When admins use their tools in areas of personal interest or involvement, I believe it does a disservice to the wikipedia community. Even when it's a clear cut and obvious block/unblock decision, it can leave a flavor of impropriety which clouds the issue and can be used to shift the focus away from the actual violation and onto the admin. We don't have a shortage of admins. The obvious calls will be obvious to a neutral admin. And it's even more important that a neutral admin make the less obvious calls. End Soap Rant.

Anyway, thats my two cents.

Peace in God. Lsi john 14:09, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


 * It isn't personal. If it was, I would be involved in the debates about all the other links he is removing. I'm not. I don't know why my name has been included in the Wikiproject baseball discussions about mass link removals. I haven't reverted Tecmobowl's link removals and don't really have much of an opinion one way or the other. I agree that many articles have too many links and I agree that there is no point in redundant links with the same information. I haven't looked over what he is removing to know if they are or aren't redundant, but he claims that it his motivation and it is one I agree with. As for Blacksoxfan.com, as I said, the bio is unreferenced, the stats can/are found on numerous others sites which makes that aspect redundant. The list of baseball cards he has appears on, to me, is the very definition of trivia. Most fansites fall into that category. They are filled with unreferenced trivia which is why I usually remove fansites. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 18:16, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Without qualifying the blacksoxfan.com link, it would seem to me that an EL would be the perfect place for a link to trivia. In a lot of cases, I'd probably be on-board with deleting it, but in this case the link appears to be a decent page, and adds value IMO. Peace. As for 'sourcing', well that site appears to have been done by someone 'who knows', making them a semi-expert in the field. I see no reason to doubt the list of cards, nor the stats. Lsi john 18:36, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * While he may "know" the subject, WP:EL is clear in the section of links to be avoided: Any site that misleads the reader by use of factually inaccurate material or unverifiable research. See Reliable sources for explanations of the terms "factually inaccurate material" or "unverifiable research". That site is filled with unverifiable research and as such it is original research and fails as a reliable source. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 19:33, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You didn't mention that in the discussion--that's an entirely different point and a serious one. There's a difference between unreferenced but verifiable, and and unverifiable, or inaccurate.  I've replied to this concern at the Shoeless Joe talk page to try and make sure that all of the pertinent discussion points are covered there.  I didn't raise this EL guideline points as an issue there as I didn't see facutal innaccuracies or unverifiable material, and no one else raised it, so I had no clue that anyone thought this was a problem.  I'd appreciate if you could reply to my questions to you there and elaborate on your concern, since I don't quite see what you're referring to. I'd also appreciate that if you do have other concerns, other EL guideline points you think apple or other discussion points that haven't been raised, please do mention them there.    Not everyone notices the same things and it's hard to have a good discussion about how to weight different concerns if we don't even know all of the things that people are concerned about.  Thanks, Miss Mondegreen  talk  00:59, June 17 2007 (UTC)
 * IrishGuy, I anticipate that this will be my last comment on the matter. I don't believe you are reading that sentence correctly.
 * "' Any site that misleads the reader by use of factually inaccurate material or unverifiable research.'"
 * It does not say that unverifiable research is misleading. It also does not say that sources must be cited. I would submit that each of those baseball card numbers can be verified. And, as I understand WP:RS, experts are allowed to self-publish. (If not, then please come edit some of the LGAT and Scientology articles, where Rick Ross', and other anti-cult experts, self-published works are regularly cited).
 * It is my opinion that the website in question does not mislead the reader. If you have evidence that it does, then I'm willing to change my opinion on the site.
 * Lots of (reliable) secondary sources that don't provide their sources are cited on wikipedia. It is my opinion that this site is also reliable.
 * Peace in God. Lsi john 01:23, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Some I had problems accessing, others I didn't. I removed them for two reasons: first, the editor was only adding those links to articles which struck me as a bit spammy.

Matthias (70's Canadian Rock Band)
Hello. I just wanted to know why you would delete this page that I put up? The band Matthias was very well known in the mid 70's for their original music and covers of many UK bands. They played warm-up for such bands as Sweeney Todd and Chilliwack, and played two shows at the Cariboo-Chilcotin's First outdoor rock concert, "Strawberry Hill", in Williams Lake in 1976.

They had a large following and as recently as one month ago were asked if they would be interested in getting together to do a "reunion" concert in the next year.

The lead singer, Douglas Campbell, has 2 CD's that are available from CD Baby, Amazon, iTunes, etc.

Just would like to know why you were so quick to delete. Thanks. Crosstrax 04:30, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, this is not the third deletion. Perhaps you did not research it properly. The other deletions were to do with a fairly current Christian metal band with the same name (but none of the same members).

Now, according to your WP:NOTE, Douglas Campbell's song compositions fall under the "Others, item 4" section. He has composed numerous songs that are being used in churches all across North America. Please go to http://www.ccli.com/US/WhatWeOffer/ChurchCopyrightLicenses/CCLI%20Publishers.aspx which is the Christian Music Licensing service and look for Crosstrax CMI Services. This is the publishing company that he uses. Also, if you Google Douglas Campbell + Christian music you will find many sites that list and offer his songs. Cheers! --Crosstrax 00:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)


 * OK...so a publishing company he uses is listed on a website. How does that prove he has composed a number of melodies, tunes or standards used in a notable genre, or tradition or school within a notable genre?

 * Actually, checkuser simply states it was a different IP. As noted in the sockpuppetry report Tecmobowl has used TOR before to evade IP checks. The account was blocked as a sock for obvious sock behavior, not for having an identical IP. Other admins agreed and El redactor never requested an unblock. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 18:57, 25 June 2007 (UTC)


 * As a note of courtesy, i will be looking into the appropriate measure to have your status as an admin revoked. I am not a sock puppet, nor was i ever a sock.  You simply skewed the facts to suit your presumptions and then prevented me from defending myself by blocking me.  It is unfortunate that this is what has happened, but I felt it was appropriate to let you know. //Tecmobowl 19:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC)


 * You got caught and you still wont let it go. Other admins reviewed it and agreed. You should really let this go. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 20:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, but I will not. Regardless of whether or not you think I am a sock or not, your abuse of the system is not acceptable.  You blocked me during the course of the discussion, you failed to recognize a number of wiki policies and guidelines, and you have indefinitely blocked the other user so as to prevent them from making any further statements.   I will continue with due process. //Tecmobowl 21:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Even though you claim you don't care? In any case, you have used socks. You have avoided blocks. You have even used TOR in direct violation of policy to avoid scrutiny. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 21:02, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Please use the arbitration page for further discussion. I am not sure if that is the best way to have your actions reviewed, but I am not going to get into it about "my actions".  You have concluded that I am a sock and that is your prerogative.  This is a separate issue. //Tecmobowl 21:12, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You cannot keep claiming that you may have repeatedly violated policy but somehow that isn't relevant. Of course it is relevant. If it wasn't for the violations of policy there would have been no block. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 21:14, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You have got to be kidding me. I am not harassing you. I have opened the discussion in the best place I knew and told you about it here.  That is the only communication I have had with you.  I have been advised to explore other options and will be doing so. //Tecmobowl 12:00, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Re-running the checkuser shows it is that Tecmobowl and El redactor are the same person. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 14:51, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Do none of you guys listen? The system has deemed me a sock... that punishment has been dealt out.  We got it.  Regardless of whether or not anyone agrees or disagrees - the point is irrelevant.  These are two separate issues.  My guilt/innocence is one issue (and it has been dealt with).  The other issue is Irishguy's behavior.  That's it! //Tecmobowl 14:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * So let me see if I have this correctly...even though you used socks and therefore violated guidelines and policies...that doesn't matter. What REALLY matters is that I didn't follow whatever policies you think I should have when enforcing those same guidelines and policies that you have violated. Nice. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 15:03, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * No, it doesn't matter. My behavior has already been address by the community (and you).  We are now talking about your behavior.  The community (although skewed) deemed that I violated wiki policy.  Here is a question for you: Did you ban me (or extend a ban) while you were engaged in a dispute with me?  That's the question... that's the ONLY question being discussed here. //Tecmobowl 15:13, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * No, in fact, I didn't block you. I extended an existing block because you were using a sockpuppet to evade your block. The block was placed on you by another admin. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 15:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Please review my previous statement where I asked if you banned me or extended a ban. The answer to that question is YES //Tecmobowl 15:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The answer is no because I wasn't in a content dispute with you. You assume everyone is in dispute with you and you brag about it thinking it makes you a dynamic editor to be so bold (as you like to put it). If you hadn't violated guidelines to evade your block I would have had no reason at all to extend your block. Basically, be good and you don't get in trouble. You have nobody to blame but yourself for the repercussions of your own actions. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 15:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * So now you are denying that we were in a dispute? Uh ... wow!  For the sake of ending my sock issue with you (and only for that reason): I am a convicted sock. //Tecmobowl 15:25, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * A talk page discussion isn't the same as a dispute. I eventually simply walked away because you have clear issues with WP:OWN. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 15:27, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This is a joke right? First off - you were in a dispute.  Second - walking away by opening a sock case and extending a ban ??? Uh ... no that's not walking away. //Tecmobowl 15:29, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * You seem to think that my catching you violating guidelines was some bizarre vendetta. You were violating guidelines. I treated you the same way I would treat anyone I caught evading a block...I simply extended (or more accurately, reset) the block. I didn't block indefinitely. I didn't throw an incredible amount of time on the block. I simply reset it from the time you were caught evading it. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 15:32, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ha...yet you allow Baseball Bugs to wikistalk me? If you are so keen on following the guidelines, maybe you should do something about that. Again, I don't think it was a vendetta, nor do i care if it was a vendetta.  Here is the situation according to you: I violated some 'things' and you punished me. I will agree with that with the understanding that the logic was sound although the impetus was flawed.  What you won't acknowledge is that YOU violated some laws.  I am not an admin, I don't have the same responsibilities that you do.  Regardless of what I say or do, the community was to be the judge.  I am simply asking the same to be done to you. Dress it up with more circumstance and pomp, talk about me all you want - this issue i raised was your behavior. //Tecmobowl 15:40, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * You brought up your problems with Baseball Bugs on AN/I and no admin decided to get involved. I avoid any issues with you because I get tired of your tirades. Like this one. It is a distinct possibility that other admins feel the same way. You opened your request for comment now leave me alone.<b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 15:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Can they ban him from Wikipedia entirely? I'm sure he could always change IPs, but really he seems an obsessive wikistalker and quite destructive to the site.

Sockpuppet from AN/I
RE:

Figured I'd move this off AN/I. Well, the IP check was worth a try. Shame it didn't work. Aside from whack-a-mole, your last opportunity to get rid of the puppetmaster is to see if WP:ABUSE can get BT to figure out who the guy is and shut his account down. Even with the person using a dynamic IP address, BT has records of who uses what IP address and when. So if the person's IP history is provided to BT, they might be able/willing to use it to identify the person.--Bobblehead (rants) 20:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, There's no real reason I've contacted you specifically &mdash; just that you're the first administrator that I could remember. I'm looking for advice. I've noticed User talk:DR JOHN FEZZA seems to be being used as a caution page, or something of that sort, warning against using a Dr John Fezza's cosmetic surgeries.

Deletion of "Adept technology"
Hey there,

Why was this article deleted, almost as soon as I started to work on it?

I am in the process of recreating this article, as the original page was deleted completely. As I do not have the text of the original, I have to recreate the content part by part.

Cheers,

Matthias —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthias-k (talk • contribs)


 * It was earlier deleted at Adept Technology for being blatant advertising. You attempted to recreate it at Adept technology and it was deleted again. Please stop attempting to use Wikipedia to promote your company. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 18:36, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, now I know at least who completely deleted the page without comment! This is my first foray into this field and I sure made mistakes in certain sectors and welcome corrections. I thought these wiki pages work in collaboration with other people, so that articles get 'self-corrected' by the community to maintain standards, not just bluntly delete. BTW, when you say 'deleted for lack significance, Adept is a publicly trade company on the US NASDAQ; if that is not significant, then I do not know what is.

BTW, all it would have taken is to delete inappropriate text and not just delete the entire page.

In any case, I will recreate this page once again, being more careful about the content, in the hope that you will not just kill again just because. If I do make a mistake, please let me know.

Funny, how you can read an article that was not even there! I hope sincerely that you did not make the assumption that I was recreating an exact copy of the original page. People do make mistake and learn from them.

I got your message and will use other entries in the wiki as a base line of what is ok use.

So, once again, please make correction to the entry and don't just delete the whole page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.195.90.254 (talk • contribs)

Thanks for pointing me to the link. And I agree with it whole heartedly. The question remains: What happened to the original article title? How come the entire entry was deleted? Wiped off! As you are an Admin, you must have seen the changes I made to the original text earlier, (which in hindsight were completely against the COI rules) allowing you to delete the new content and revert back to the old content.

As was suggest to me by someone, I have started a new page in my sandbox. This way I can work on it. I am using ABB, Fanuc, Denso, Epson Robots, KUKA wikis as a guide on what seems to be ok contentwise.

Ultimately, Irishguy, my goal is not to advertise but to get Adept Technology back on the wiki, within the rules and regulations of the wiki community, as it seem to be norm with other companies listed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthias-k (talk • contribs)

Deletions and warnings on engine articles
You deleted two articles and then warned the poor editor, but from what I can see he not only did nothing wrong but was making the wiki a better place. Look, I don't want be harsh, but from what I can reconstruct of the history, this seems like heavy-handed admining at its worse. The user in question appears to be punished for style problems, ones that would appear to be in the eye of the beholder. I'd like to see some sort of explanation here.

 * As I noted to him above, the articles are completely devoid of context. They consist of nothing more than a list of specs that were lifted from another source (unreferenced). How is removing no-context probable copyvios "heavy-handed admining at its worse"? <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 19:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * It's not very likely that "probable copyvios" "lifted from another source" would be in standard Wikipedia parsable templates. (FWIW, remember that plain facts and figures are not copyrightable, even though their arrangement can be). I agree that as first contributed, the articles were devoid of context and references, but when warned, User:Idsnowdog started correcting that. Nevertheless, his contributions got deleted anyway. IMHO, I think you bit a newbie (hard!) and should say sorry. --Rlandmann 21:01, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

The proper response to this sort of thing would have been to give the user, who is clearly new to the wiki, explicit details about how to correct the problem. You didn't do anything of the sort, all you did is repeat what the problem was using technobabble that only makes sense to a non-newbie. Then when he followed the only instructions he had been given, to post a HOLDON on the page, you deleted the articles anyway.

Now I certainly won't excuse Idsnowdog's reaction, but it wasn't exactly unprompted. He comes to the wiki and tries to help out, only to find his contributions unceremoniously deleted by someone that doesn't seem to know a prop spinner from a sleeve valve. When he removes his own edits, you warn him not to (although I can't imagine why) and then less than one minute later, block anyway.

I too believe you owe him an apology.

Maury 02:17, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * You can't imagine why? When you edit any page, at the bottom it informs you that you agree to license your contributions under the GFDL. They are no longer your edits and you cannot just decide you no longer want them here. Whether you are blanking your edits or someone else's...it is still blanking content. That is why I reverted and warned him. Earlier he had been blanking pages with his ip address and then came back and began again with his account logged in.

List of romantic novelists
I noticed that you removed all of the red-linked author names from the List of romantic novelists. I have reverted your changes and ask that you please don't be so hasty next time. Per WP:REDLINK, red links are acceptable in topic lists so that the topic can be better fleshed out. Several of us have been creating articles for the red-linked authors. It's a slow process, but we are making progress. Karanacs 01:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Without articles, there is no way to know which are valid and notable but don't currently have articles, and which are simply vanity edits by unpublished or self-published authors. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 01:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Under the WP:REDLINK guidelines, however, this is not prohibited. Per Lists (stand-alone lists), "Ideally each entry on the list should have a Wikipedia article but this is not required if it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming in the future."  Since we have created dozens of articles in the last 6 months alone for authors which were previously red-linked on this page, and we are continuing to create articles, I believe we have satisfied the expectation that an article will be forthcoming.  If it would be more acceptable to you, we can put an unsourced tag on the list, but I believe the policing of the list is better left to those familiar with the topic.

 * So additions by anonymous users or brand new users that make no other edits ...I am to believe there is a reasonable probability that these will become articles? That they aren't just vanity entries? <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 01:35, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I and several others have the list on our watchlists, and we do remove entries that we feel don't belong -- after doing a google search to see if the new entries are actual published writers, and whether they have been published in the romance genre. Looking at the last 500 edits to that page, the vast majority are by people with active accounts who visit the page often.  It doesn't seem fair to remove all of the links because several new or anonymous users have made edits.  I checked several other lists of authors, and they all had red links as well, yet you have not felt it necessary to police those as well.  Is there a particular reason that you feel that this list of authors in particular is problematic, even though it is following wikipedia guidelines?   Karanacs 01:41, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I would like to also point out that the dozens of articles that we've created so far are from names that had already been placed on the list by someone else. Karanacs 01:47, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * 80% of that list are redlinks. That is rediculous. The list is insanely long and the vast majority are redlinks. Actually, I have removed redlinks from other lists. It takes time. This is an encyclopedia, not the yellow pages. People come to that article to learn more about authors...which they can't do when 80% of them don't even have articles. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 02:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * May I ask then, what you believe the cutoff to be for a fair number of red links? I have seen nothing in wikipedia policy that lists a cutoff, and have cited for you several places in policy that state that it is okay to have red links in a topical list.  You have given me your opinion on what is acceptable, but no policy to back it up.  If we can agree on a percentage that it is okay for the red links to be, then I can get some of the other regular romance novel contributors together to pare the red links down.  I would prefer, however, that this paring take place by people familiar with the topic.Karanacs 02:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Nowhere in WP:REDLINK does it state that an overwhelming amount of redlinks is ideal. In fact, it states that redlinks can be acceptable for topic lists but WP:LIST states: The verifiability policy states that "articles should contain only material that has been published by reputable sources. Editors should therefore provide references." As that list is overwhelmingly redlinks and completely unreferenced redlinks at that, I can't see a valid argument for keeping them. Not everyone who has every written a book is notable. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 02:45, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

 * The article began with lines like: There is no software to download and registration takes only a few minutes. If you would like to register an account on combatgrounds, go to: which is a blatant advertisement for a product. You need to illustrate importance and notability without falling into advertisement speak. Please read WP:NOTE, WP:WEB, and WP:COI. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk  09:37, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Uses to Applications
Could you advise a bot clean up some articles I have edited on the English site? I would like ==Uses== changed to ==Applications== to make them more compliant.

Casey Stengel
We need a little help on the Stengel page. It's supposedly semi-protected, but an IP address continues to change Stengel's team colors back to the Mets. Obviously, the colors should be Yankees. But in any case, it looks like it's no longer semi-protected. (It was probably originally protected to keep the User talk:Ron liebman sockpuppet army from messing with his year of birth).
