Please restore the article you deleted on "The Strangest Secret" on December 11. You marked this as spam, but I am looking for information on it. You probably don't know this, but it's a historical work and deserves to be in Wikipedia.

Thanks, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.16.237.114 (talk) 18:48, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Dear Pascal,

An article you deleted on 13 October 2007 (CSD A7), Brian Nixon, is back up again, as unnotable as it probably was the first time around. Thanks for your attention, Drmies (talk) 02:10, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Latest Lyle123 socks
Hi, Pascal. Our little friend in Oz has been back for two socks and two matching hoaxes in the last two days. They are User:ThopicMovie200955555 and User:AManNamedFred19677777. One IP which vandalized an existing article based on the first sock was User:121.44.27.31. You'll see on my talk page that the IP may be too large for a range block, but if no other edits are coming from it, I think that a range block and a possible formal complaint to the IP are more than warranted. Whatcha think? --PMDrive1061 (talk) 05:09, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

IMDB copyright violations
I disagree on two counts. First, copyright violations are supposed to be expunged, especially if caught early. Two, if the copyright violations are removed, what's left are NOT 'perfectly acceptable stubs', they're essentially empty directory listings, without the slightest hint of why the subject is worth writing about to begin with, let alone any evidence thereto. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 21:31, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Non-free images
Just saw your comments on Seraphimblade's talk page and wanted to thank you for your input. My understanding of an article is not increased by the logos in question either, but many in WikiProject Television Stations believe that it does enhance their understanding, which is why I take up the cause. It frustrates me that a small band of editors, most of whom I believe to also be administrators, take such a heavy-handed approach to enforcing their rigid interpretation of policy and guideline, instead of enforcing the policy as written. I firmly believe that the intended current use of historical images is compliant with policy, and am trying to encourage the project to bring non-compliant images into compliance, rather than deleting them. It's been an uphill battle both ways for me, both with those who want the non-free images gone, and those who don't understand that Wikipedia policy is intentionally stricter than the law requires. Further adding to my frustration is that the more I've read copyright law, the more I'm convinced that many of the pre-1989 logos and script-based logos are, in fact, public domain, but those opposed to non-free images refuse to believe that they are, especially when the definition of public domain in policy statements is strictly pre-1923. dhett (talk • contribs) 00:00, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * For the record, I'm all for a very strict enforcement of the policy. That includes calling out editors who claim that they find that an old logo significantly enhances their understanding of an article about a television station. I think Seraphimblade is often arguing for enforcing what he things the policy should be rather than what it is. But it is equally true that the policy is far stricter than what is legally permitted under fair use law and editors who fail to recognize this are equally guilty of fostering the constant bickering.

List of ships captured by Somali pirates
Note that it was tagged (aggressively) for speed deletion. I removed that and tagged the article as in construction until you can make the table look, well, like an actual table! Cheers, Pascal.Tesson (talk) 22:18, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Actually, I've just noticed that there's already a table in the article Piracy in Somalia. It may or may not be complete but it seems to be thoroughly referenced. So it's not clear that List of ships captured by Somali pirates is really needed, unless you decide to spin-off the existing table in Piracy in Somalia. I would also suggest that the title be changed to something along the lines of "ships captured by pirates off the coast of Somalia" (as it's often unclear who the pirates are, especially if one goes up the hierarchy). Pascal.Tesson (talk) 22:42, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Gerald Thomas (Playwright & Director)
Hello Pascal,

Earlier today you deleted my posting of Gerald Thomas' biography at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Thomas_(playwright_%26_director) I had posted it there from a request from Gerald himself to please do so because other existing pages on him are inaccurate. He asked me to use his official bio. Since that bio consists of facts and not opinions it's hard to rewrite and why do so? I am Patrick Grant, one of his friends and collaborators and a WIKI user. I can be seen listed as one of his favorite links on his official Blog if that helps in terms of verification at: http://colunistas.ig.com.br/geraldthomas/ Please advise. Pgrizzy (talk) 22:02, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Gerald Thomas & copyright
Hello Patrick. Thanks for asking questions rather than turning away in frustration. There are a couple of issues at play here. The first one of course is the copyright issue which led to the article's deletion. I'm not questioning your assertions that this was made upon Gerald Thomas' request but copyrights are something we try to be very careful about. So we usually require that the authorization to use material from other websites is confirmed through the Open-source Ticket Request System. In particular, releasing the material on Wikipedia implies a couple of things that you or Gerald Thomas may not be comfortable with. First, the release of the material under a GFDL compatible license cannot be restricted to Wikipedia: this means that anyone can henceforth use the material in any way they see fit. Secondly, the article on Wikipedia may not (in fact most certainly will not) remain in the state in which you created it. Others are free to edit it as they see fit (provided of course that changes are meaningful). The other important issues are related to conflict of interest and neutrality. Because you're a close friend of Gerald Thomas, it's reasonable to question your objectivity about him. This doesn't mean that you're in any way forbidden to write about him but it does mean that you'll face more scrutiny. I have to agree that the bio on the website is not a piece of glorification but it still has a problematic overall tone. Among other things, sentences like "Brazil had never seen such an effervescent uproar" need to go, references to other things on Thomas' website (e.g. "(see the New York Times press clipping of 11 November 2003 under "press")" have to be removed and the long long lists of projects make the article look like a resumé. The content should also be sourced through reliable third-party coverage. So while I have no objection to an article about Gerald Thomas, the text you proposed is not acceptable as is. Let me know if you have any further questions. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson (talk) 14:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Pascal,

OK then, I'll try posting it again and stripping it down to as bare boned as possible. The reason why Gerald asked me to do this in the first place is, besides the fact that I'm a bit more internet savvy than he, because WIKI has other posts about him that contain erroneous or incomplete information, a lot of it in other languages, and he simply wanted to create a reliable source of info on WIKI that he could send inquiries to instead of having to answer in detail every one. I myself am short on time too and simply wish to do this favor for him and move onto other things. Plus we wonder how his other friends and colleagues seem to be able to update their WIKI pages themselves without this kind of scrutiny. Anyway, I'll remove all adjectives that come from press quotes and streamline the quantity and descriptions of his voluminous output and cross our fingers that it can can remain as an entry. Thanks, Patrick Grant Pgrizzy (talk) 20:38, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Dear Pascal,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking this kind of time. I have re-posted a cursory article about Gerald (i.e. the simplest bio possible that leads up to the formation of his company and a list of works and performance dates in reverse chronological order, I did the latter because entries for bands list their albums). I created links to his Official Web Site (yes, it's sassy) and his Blog (even sassier) with the most recent of interviews that fills in a lot of biographical detail. Hopefully, this entry (and I still want to clean it up some) will serve as an accurate point of departure should anybody try to find Gerald through WIKI. And even more hopefully, it won't get taken down without warning, I hope, I hope. Your response has been stellar and I thank you. Please let me know if there is anything beyond what I've said that could be cleared up but I hope that you feel that you've gotten us on a good tract here and can set your sights on other entries that need clarification. All my best, Patrick Grant Pgrizzy (talk) 00:38, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

P.S. The URL for that entry is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Thomas_(playwright_%26_director) Pgrizzy (talk) 00:39, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Dear Pascal,

We totally agree with you and are doing our best to clean it up. I did add the category of "Dramatists and playwrights" because, when this whole thing started, Gerald didn't feel it accurate that he was listed solely as an interpreter of other people's work. Also, he was born in New York City, not Brazil. That has always been a bit of a mystery to the public but since we have to be accurate, that is the fact. I removed the "highly questionable" comment in regards to Philip Glass but there are many pages on the internet regarding their piece "Mattogrosso" I'm not sure what more needs to be said. As far as other works, like those with Heiner Mueller, should I post a link to productions at La MaMa E.T.C. from the 80s that show this? As far as the formation of his Dry Opera Compnay, we thought that the extensive performance history listed in the works below would cover that. Also, there's so many links regarding this company on the web, where to start? As far as the Peter Brooks and Victor Garcia comments, it is agreed that they belong in an autobiography rather than WIKI because they are memoirs in quality and not quantifiable. Thanks again, it's evolving, slowly but surely. P.S. - Gerald says that if you dispute his place of birth, he can back it up to you personally if it comes down to that. -Patrick Pgrizzy (talk) 17:23, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi. You should take this up with the people who manage the spam blacklist on meta:Talk:Spam blacklist.

The Collins College of Hospitality Management page deletion
Pascal.Tesson,

Why have you deleted The Collins College of Hospitality Management page? The college is a legitimate program at Cal Poly Pomona university. Most of the colleges have Wikipedia pages at the university. If there is an issue with the content, I'd appreciate suggestions on how to change the content - rather than a complete and unexpected deleation.

I have started this page and sent an e-mail to the entire faculty and staff where I work encouraging them to edit and change as they see fit. I understand and respect the democratic sharing of information on Wikipedia and I am simply getting a page started, which I expect and hope people will contribute to. Please reverse the deletion.
