Gibraltar Case Comments
I just wanted to bring to your attention a few things on the Gibraltar case.

1. When I was having problems I said some regrettable things, which I have apologised for, if you still feel a topic ban is appropriate then I'm not going to argue about it. I just make the point that bans and blocks are supposedly preventative not punitive. I made those remarks whilst in a bad place, they haven't been repeated and they're out of character. Now that I am a lot better is it still appropriate?

2. The assertion that the self-governing status of Gibraltar is an "opinion" not a fact. Sorry but I cannot accept that remaining in the case. Gibraltar is self-governing, it is a fact that the Spanish editors could not dispute. Instead they have tried to use a combination of synthesis and original research to try and minimise the status in the article. Their motivation in doing so is based on Spanish nationalism toward Gibraltar, where it is portrayed as a British colony on stolen Spanish soil. Those comments are only serving to buttress Spanish nationalism to skew the POV of the article not to achieve NPOV. I think you're being incredibly naive if you feel those remarks are helpful in steering the dispute, I can see those remarks coming back to haunt you in various nationalist disputes.

3. When this case was started, I couldn't participate fully as my father was ill and another editor was hospitalised. The evidence produced by a number of editors who've effectively held the article hostage was directed toward removing editors they disagreed with by topic bans; you'll note that I didn't propose of suggest any blocks/bans/sanctions against individuals. Effectively what you're proposing is to remove one side but leave the other intact. You're rewarding editors for baiting others into uncivil remarks.

4. In reading your comments I can only conclude you have apparently disregarded the workshop. In the workshop there was case of RHoPF hounding editors, walls of text being put up to derail discussion by Ecemaml, non-apologies such as "I'm sorry you were offended by my joke" not to mention examples of bad faith and uncivil remarks:

activity, obstinacy, discourtesy, incompetence at communication, and nationalism form a demonic combination "Gibnews' rottweiler" repeated

''I get a sense of "if I'm going down I'm taking you with me" here.  So that is three untruths in the same section from you,  Why are you telling untruths here, Justin?''

5. In the workshop, the editors were lobbying to have my conduct examined more fully. I would still welcome that.

6. This was never an arbcom case, there had been no previous attempt at long term solutions. I can only note my bitter disappointment that arbcom would punish one group of violators while allowing another group of violators to go free without even a token slap or even have their conduct examined at all. Particularly an editor who apparently delights in teasing and tormenting those with temporary mental problems. I've seen this editor hounding people for years and I can't believe he is going to get away with it again.

The solution you're proposing might reduce conflict, well if you ban only one side then what's left can violently agree on skewing the POV of the article. What it isn't is a long term solution, I did propose something like this some time ago, it would be more workable. Justin talk 09:50, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Note re Lar/Polargeo
The situation between Lar and Polargeo, similar to the situation between Lar and Stephen Shultz is escalating. Here is the sequence of events:


 * 1) Polargeo adds some views to the uninvolved admin section.
 * 2) Lar moves these and adds one of his own views.
 * 3) Polargeo reverts this, accidentally removing Lar's view.
 * 4) Hipocrite returns Lar's view.
 * 5) Lar move's polargeo's view again, and threatens to block Polargeo if he returns his view.

Lar was asked to stop removing views on his talk page and instead take a lower-drama action of noting his problems on the page by me, seconded by Thparkth.

This is rapidly spiriling out of control and needs emergy Arbcom intervention to prevent further disruption. I have asked both Lar and Polargeo to stop. Perhaps the individual who choses to stop first should be rewarded, as opposed to losing by default. Just a thought. Hipocrite (talk) 14:25, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Super Bowl L?
I notice that a previous attempt at an article for "Super Bowl L" was deleted/redirected. As I see it, there are three reasons an article might be worthy, even at this early date:


 * Dallas is already interested in bidding for it:


 * There's speculation that the 50th SB should be held in LA, home of the first SB (of course, they'd have to get another team first...wouldn't they?)


 * 50 or L? Most of the google references seem to point to the number, not the Roman numeral.

Terrific Photo
Hi Mailer Diablo. I would like to use your photo of the interior of the LRT in Singapore for a research report about transit vehicles that accomodate large items. It is a very good example of perimeter seating.(http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BPLRT-Int-CX100.JPG).

Dan Mallin
Hi there, you have previously deleted a page for Dan Mallin, but would like to discuss reinstating it with new, neutral information. He has been referenced on various other pages including Carlson School of Management, Imaginet, and List of University of Minnesota People, as well as a few others.

The copy I'd like to add is as follows:

Dan Mallin is a Minnesota entrepreneur, co-founder of The Minnesota Cup, and Entrepreneur-in-Residence of the Gary S. Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship at the Carlson School of Management.

Mallin graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1995 with an M.B.A. from the Carlson School of Management. In October of 2009, he received the University of Minnesota Alumni Service Award for his contributions to the University and Twin Cities community. He was named by Twin Cities Business as one of 200 Minnesotans You Should Know in April of 2010. He currently serves on the Advisory Board for the Gary S. Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship.

Do you believe this still reads as a resume? Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you!

Old deleted article "Harry Nelson"
I just recently went live with an article for "Harry Lewis Nelson". I was going to add a disambiguation page or maybe a redirect for "Harry Nelson," but was shown that on 3 July 2005 you deleted an article with that name. I don't know how to pull up the deleted article to check, but the sentence fragment on the page informing me of the deletion makes it seem like it probably referred to the same person. And the one visible claim in that fragment is wrong (the championship in Cologne was in 1986, not 1997), giving a clue about why it was deleted. I realize that's been a long time ago, but thought I should check with you about what you thought should be done before I proceeded any further. Thanks!! Bcnelson (talk) 00:35, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello Diablo, I welcome your feedback on the Negrophobia content. Wikipedia also has an article on Homophobia, Negrophobia is not a neologism, it has a history throughout America especially during the civil rights movement, I must say I disagree with your nomination to delete Negrophobia from Wikipedia. Negrophobia is an actual term that is used and I think allot of people can learn about the history of Negrophobia how it's used and what it is.

Deletion of The Brown Derbies article
An old article for The Brown Derbies was deleted by you on 04:12, December 24, 2006. Most of the reasons for deletion were that the group was not notable because they had not won any awards or recognitions, or if they had, citation was unable to be found. At the time, the groups (ICCA, CASA) sponsoring those awards only had their previous award winners posted back to a certain year, usually when they began online record-keeping. Since the Derbies won awards before this time, it was difficult to cite sources. Since then, the organizations have released their full awards history. I found someone recently wrote a new Brown Derbies page, and it too was sadly scant on sources, so I updated the entry to include an awards section, complete with multiple sources. While the page itself still needs some work, I'd like to think that the addition of awards now keeps it safe from deletion. Thoughts? AdamKidabra (talk) 07:16, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Alabama Sledgehammer
I was searching for the Alabama Sledgehammer on Wikipedia because some friends and I have been attempting to perform this feat for some time now and we were interested in knowing the origins of it. When I searched for it, thinking that such an urban legend would merit a wiki page, all that I found was the deletion page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alabama_sledgehammer#Alabama_sledgehammer I was wondering if you could reference me to the appropriate page. It would be much appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.17.116.87 (talk) 19:25, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Adopt-a-user reminder
Hello, I have completed a general cleanup of the adopter information page for the adopt-a-user project, located here. During my cleanup, I have removed several inactive and retired users. In order to provide interested adoptees with an easy location to find adopters, it is essential that the page be up-to-date with the latest information possible. Thus:


 * If you are no longer interested in being an adopter, please remove yourself from the list.
 * If you are still interested, please check the list to see if any information needs to be updated or added - especially your availability. Thank you.


 * You are receiving this message because you are listed as an adopter here.

Deletion of Voodoochilli.net article
Hi there. I hope I have this in the right place! :) I kindly wanted to ask that you review the decision to delete this page. 4 years ago when it was deleted the main reason was it was not notable, the most often cited criteria is alexa ranking Articles_for_deletion/Voodoochilli.net

''"Non-notable website. Its Alexa ranking is 1,605,401. The article says that it has a volunteer staff of "a web developer, an art editor and several administrators". Google has 590 hits, most of which look self-generated. None of the criteria in WP:WEB seem to be met." '' I think at the time this assessment was fair but the site has grown significantly in popularity since then. I personally don't think Alexa is accurate except for the really large sites, however since 2006 the site has gained in rank by approximately 1 million places with a global rank of 635K Which is far higher than many other sites listed in similar categories. Google now returns 25K hits and the site has been featured in many books, magazines and newspapers see. Additionally a page has been constructed outlining the sites history.

As founder of the site I am unable to write a non biased encyclopaedic description of the site and merits, I believe it meets all of the WP:WEB criteria and I do believe the site is notable for the following reasons:


 * It has nearly 11,000 members, more than listed on many featured on the list of social networking sites
 * It is a niche site and has importance within the online art community
 * It was one of the first online portfolio websites to offer free uploading of images without critical or artistic judgement

Please could you give me some advice about how to proceed with this. I do not want an advert for the site, I do genuinely believe it has importance on the web for the art community. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Voodoochilli (talk • contribs) 15:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

I have posted a direct and simple question for arbitors to verify.

It would be nice if you could verify the wording of this proposed, currently passing, finding of fact. Thanks. Hipocrite (talk) 00:59, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

I have expanded my evidence in that section. I believe my complaints against at least 3 admins (representing 5 diffs in my finding -- nearly half) had merit. And for the most part, I presented those concerns in a civil, impersonal tone. Given the evidence I've presented there, which establish the context of my complaints, I would like to know why my complaints were unwarranted. Please read and respond there. Thanks.

An update from adopt a user
Hi there ! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.

On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.

Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.

Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

Fair use rationale for File:Gerardee.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Gerardee.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Oversighting
Hi Mailer diablo. I want to propose the oversighting of an article I wrote. It´s "Michele O'Shea", there are both a spanish and an english version. The reason for oversighting is that the person involving it has categorically told me that she doesn´t want any of that personal information publicly available. That would fall under reason #1 for oversighting "removal of non-public, personal information". She considers absolutely everything written as personal information, and I have to agree with it.

Administrator interfering with sourced information
Hello,

Thank you for providing this forum, but I have been unable to resolve a dispute on a page, which is unilaterally controlled by an individual editor ((http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ronz#top) on the page devoted to Navven Jain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naveen_jain). This site is blocked from editing. Apparently, there has been a history of tampering with (from both sides) the content on this page.

I am a known and published author in the history of science and technology. I am an invited speaker at the upcoming World Economic Forum, Davos, and at the DLD conference in Munich (a previous speaker at the TED conferences, twice, etc) and am preparing a talk on the Age of Information transforming into an Age of Misinformation and Disinformation. I am a personal friend of Jimmy Wales, and he is aware of my upcoming talk. My point is how scholarship is now gradually disappearing, and that crowd-sourcing as a way to reliable present information, in spite of safeguards is faltering. In order to test this point of view, I deliberately choose "controversial" biographies in which to make professionally sourced edits. This is where one is most likely to find where the problems lie. I wanted to see how easy or difficult it was to correct information in an area I was knowledgeable in and could contribute in a meaningful way. I am not connected to these individuals in any way.

I have become frustrated in my attempts to edit the page of Naveen Jain. The page is administered and presided over by the editor mentioned above. There is obvious history that has been going on for quite some time, and he may be a bit frustrated, but this should be no excuse to continually argue and delete proper neutral facts, such as a person's affiliation on the Board of the X PRIZE Foundation, that they have received the Albert Einstein Technology Award or that the individual is a recipient of the World Economic Forum technology pioneer award.

With regards to the mention of Jain's association with the X PRIZE Board, the editor moved for deletion because it was "unduly weighted."

With regards to the mention of the World Economic Forum technology pioneer award it is deleted because it is mentioned on the WEF's web site, and that is "self-promotional."

With regards to the Albert Einstein technology award, he just dismisses it, and says that the sourced material comes from a press release. It does not, and there are numerous articles referencing this award in a simple google search.

Yet, he will not remove and insist on keeping trivial and unverified information; incorrect inferences from a reporter, which have not been proven, and which are obviously out of context, if one knows the history of the dot com crash., etc.

In a civil, professional, and sourced manner, I have tried to bring these edits and issues to his attention. He is dismissive and tries to hide behind the cloak of wiki rules, in order to present half the facts, leading the reader to a false conclusion. This is evident by going through his comments on the discussion page (although not all of his comments are unjustified, and it is clear he is frustrated by someone who is promoting Jain from the other side). So, he has obviously been irritated so far as to be counter-productive, and no longer disinterested. As he is the sole arbitrator, there is no other recourse. It's his way or the highway. There is no democracy, there is only one vote, and it is his vote. This is not the way scholarship works, and does not comply with the wiki rules.

This episode has left a sad story for my upcoming talk, and I am hoping that it will be resolved, and that this individual will be given other, and more productive assignments, as this particular page will not benefit under his supervision and management.

I have cc'd this email to Jim Wales under my real name, and I have his private email. He knows full well the importance of my talk and how the credibility of Wiki needs to be held. We have discussed this on a number of occasions, as we often share the same podium and bar table.

WikiDrip thinks that WikiDrip's account password was Compromised and is requesting WikiDrip's account be unlocked so WikiDrip can log in and change the password. WikiDrip then can if required open another Wikipedia account with a new username. WikiDrip would like to have the benefit of the doubt here. The New WikiDrip account would of course link to the original WikiDrip account. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wikidrips —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.225.95.146 (talk) 22:02, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Warning
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Mailer diablo) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.The article in question is Diablo III. Thank you.

...Sorry, that was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this diff on my watchlist. :P EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 23:55, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Lyriki
Hi,

I see that the article about the website Lyriki.com was deleted by you, a long time ago, because it didn't meet WP:WEB. I believe now that it does, but I read in the creation page: "please first contact the deleting administrator using the information provided below." I have made a draft for a new page and uploaded some images: User:PedroFonini/Lyriki.

Deletion of article on Asiaerotica/Far East Video
Duke University Press and Professor Celine Shimizu have spoken to the contrary with regards to the significance of Jean Marc Roc and Asiaerotica/FarEast Video within it's genere. UCSB professor of Asian Film and woman's studies C Shimizu choose Jean MarcRoc out of the thousands of adult video producers, devoting a chapter in her noted "scholarly " book "The Hypersexuality of Race" to Jean Marc Roc and the Asiaerotica/Far East Video 101 ZAsian Debutantes series along with noted Australian director Dennis O'Rourke. Because of the notability of the book and the length of discussion given to Jean Marc Roc and Asiaerotica/Far East Video. I believe that your deletion of this notable a figure in the Adult video world deserves to be revised. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.21.227.154 (talk) 01:21, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
