Speedy deletion nomination of DanceAbility International


A tag has been placed on DanceAbility International requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. --IShadowed 00:21, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

The GIMP Project
I needed to introduce some new referencing methods to The GIMP Project while updating it. Shortened footnotes are good for books with page numbers. In this case I used them because one of the references to the book needed extra information about the quote used and this was a tidy way to have only one citation for the book itself. This is described in Help:Shortened footnotes.

If a reference gets very long it can make the article source more readable to define it in the reference list. I did that for the reference explaining the Gale quote. This is described in Help:List-defined references. One can place some, most or all definitions in the reflist depending on what might seem tidiest... --Mirokado (talk) 00:52, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for the reference help. I need to give some of these a try. There are a few different ways, it seems, to do multiple citations for one author. The one you mention looks like the simplest, for me anyway.OttawaAC (talk) 22:07, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I see you have already started using sfn, very nicely too. It is necessary to use the last=, first= or last1=, first1=, last2=, first2= etc parameters systematically so the author last names are available. The automatically generated linkage includes the year. I updated National Theatre Workshop of the Handicapped‎ with corresponding corrections. If you install the script described at User:Ucucha/HarvErrors it will provide nice red warnings when something does not match up. --Mirokado (talk) 13:33, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

I've just noticed that the lead switches from present tense to past tense. This looks wrong but I can't see how to change it... --Mirokado (talk) 16:28, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I just copy edited to make it a little clearer. It does contain both present and past tense -- I was trying to summarize the company's current work, but also include the fact that since it was founded in 1977, thousands of people have participated in the company's programs. That sentence has to be in past tense -- I can't accurately say that "thousands" of people presently participate in the company's programs. Anyway, I hope it's a bit clearer now that I've reworded it a little, let me know if I should have another try with it.OttawaAC (talk) 22:00, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I forgot that I had mentioned that in the final paragraph above, I was thinking of the lead in The GIMP Project. Please could you have a look at that too? --Mirokado (talk) 22:05, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. I noticed I misspelled Heidi Latsky's name a couple of times. OttawaAC (talk) 22:12, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Much better! Thanks. --Mirokado (talk) 22:15, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Unicode patterns thrown out of the project
Your edit, can you explain? Braille looks relevent to the WP. Must say, I am from the Unicode neighbourhood, not this WP:WPACCESS. (doing a lot in though) -DePiep (talk) 17:40, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean -- I added a banner for WP Disability, and added an assessment, for class and importance (Mid importance, but that's my evaluation)... I don't think I deleted or removed anything there. Did I? If I did it was purely a mistake on my part. OttawaAC (talk) 17:43, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * My mistake. You added, but I did not find your name on that talkpage, I misread the edit. So: good! -DePiep (talk) 17:55, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Disability
Hi, I'm just curious as to why you've added ORACLE (teletext) and Park Avenue (teletext soap) to the project. They don't immediately spring to mind as disability-related topics, but I guess I could be wrong. Paul MacDermott (talk) 13:44, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm probably misunderstanding the technology. Is teletext not for use of disabled TV service users? I've given them low importance, since they are obsolete, but it's still relevant historical info, IMO. I could well be wrong, though, as I said I'm not familiar with the technology. My reasoning was that they would fall under the umbrella of "disability culture"...OttawaAC (talk) 13:46, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually it's probably ok to add them, and thinking about it you could have a point. Teletext is a news and information service, but I think they were also one of the pioneers of subtitles for the hard-of-hearing, so I think that make them eligible to be included. Paul MacDermott (talk) 13:52, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's sorta one of those grey fuzzy areas... Teletext can be considered assistive technology for anyone who is hearing impaired. A lot of tech products and services can be considered assistive technology to someone, depending upon the disability. I think a lot of tech products play it up as part of their marketing, even if the tech is originally aimed at a broader audience. Remote control devices are a similar example. I've included those in the project too, as assistive tech. OttawaAC (talk) 13:56, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems the initial aim of Ceefax (the BBC's teletext service) was actually as a means of assistive technology, as it was apparently developed by engineers who were looking for a way to provide on-screen subtitles (see here). I've learnt something new today, so good work for including them. Paul MacDermott (talk) 14:20, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Article: Women in Nazi Germany
Hi, saw that you started the english version (as a translation from french) and did the main work. I found it most interesting, and since so much of your time and effort went into it, I think you might perhaps still be interested about it's development.

I stumbled upon that sample quote of kitschy and pernicious nazi indoctrination in the section The NS-Frauenschaft: "You must still grasp, children [...]". As it's given as a verbatim quote, but based on a french source, I looked if I could find the german original wording for cross-checking. There are some errors and ommissions. Perhaps you could find someone who can fix the translation.

I found the corresponding original quote in german here, on page 8:


 * author: Susanne Blumesberger
 * title: "Von Giftpilzen, Trödeljakobs und Kartoffelkäfern – Antisemitische Hetze in Kinderbüchern während des Nationalsozialismus"
 * puplication: |"MEDAON - Magazin für jüdisches Leben in Forschung und Bildung"
 * year: 2009
 * issue: Ausgabe 5.

Download: http://medaon.de/pdf/A_Blumesberger-5-2009.pdf, PDF, 113 kBytes, 13 pages.

You'll find this link by searching for "Haarer" at http://medaon.de/index-en.html. (The html-version of the article seems to be no longer available.)

If you wish to answer, please do it here. (My mobile IP will always change each time I go online.) Best regards. -- 46.115.38.28 (talk) 05:31, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look. I don't read German myself, but I know someone fluent in RL who could translate for comparison's sake. If corrections are needed, I'll make the revision. The article does point out that it is an example of Nazi propaganda. OttawaAC (talk) 09:18, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I added the original German version as a side-by-side direct quote, thank you so much for pointing me towards the original as printed in the magazine article. I cited it as well. Very helpful, and with machine translation, plus basic grammar adjustments, it looks more accurate. I took one year of German, I hope it helped.OttawaAC (talk) 01:06, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cemar Clay Products
Hello OttawaAC,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Cemar Clay Products for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Longbyte1 (talk) 22:36, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi OttawaAC, there's a debate going on at Alice Starmore about the inclusion of some cited text and an image.

Women photographers in Canada
Hello OttawaAC. I'm impressed by all the articles you have written over the past two years. I see many of them are on the arts and media with lots of biographies. That's why I thought you might like to help with this year's drive for Women's History Month which is devoted to women in photography. (I've included a word on the WP Women's History talk page.) If you are interested in participating, I thought you might like to have a look at this which cites a number of Canadian women who contributed to photography in the early days. Maybe you would be interested in writing a few biographies? And with your knowledge of French, you could also look at some of the French-language biographies of women photographers for inclusion in the English wiki. Interested?--Ipigott (talk) 12:02, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure, sounds like something I'd be interested in doing. I'll have a look at some sources. OttawaAC (talk) 21:48, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Great! There's no real rush so just take your time. When you create the biographies, you might like to include the names in List of women photographers which I am revamping in a sandbox at the moment. The new country-by-country version should be up today or tomorrow.--Ipigott (talk) 09:29, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Jacques Derrida on deconstruction
Dear OttawaAC, I have been taking a look at that article most of which you conceived and wrote. Unfortunately it seems that lots of the quotations and references are flawed (missing refs for quotation template quotes, no correct refs for quotation template quotes, use of cf. when not needed, lack of cf. when needed etc.). Also, the text contains many errors, as do the quotations. As the original author, maybe you could take a look and do the necessary corrections? Kind regards, 㓟 (talk) 19:48, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not the one who actually wrote it. It was created as a "child" article of Deconstruction, were most of the content originated (it was a couple of sections from that article that were split off).
