Article Feedback deployment
Hey Patar knight; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:31, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Patar

you recently deleted a page on the Last Planner System (LPS) "because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement".

The LPS page was copied from the wiki Lean Construction page by another editor WCrosbie from Australia. The page history for lean construction shows that I wrote the original Last Planner article between January and June 2008.

The article referenced as the source http://construccioneingenieria.blogspot.com/2008/09/last-planner-system-last-planner-system.html was published on 18 Sept 2008 without the graphics that appeared in the original LPS Wiki entry. On the same day, the same blogger, an engineer based in Cuzco, Peru, published http://construccioneingenieria.blogspot.co.uk/2008/09/what-is-lean-construction.html. In the middle of that blog post the following text appears: "Practical applications (it would be good to add examples from other countries here such as Denmark, US, Chile, Brasil, Peru, Sweden, in addition to others from the UK)"

The parenthetic comment is a quote from an earlier Wikipedia reviewer.

The "what is lean construction section" blog post was a copy of a section on the Lean Construction page of the same name and was written by Prof Tariq Abdelhamid with contributions from others starting in 2007.

I suggest that that rather than being copied from construccioneingenieria.blogspot.com, construccioneingenieria.blogspot.com copied from the original work in wiki. How does wiki deal with plagarism of this sort?

I cannot find the button to object to the proposed deletion - can you help me please.

with best wishes

Nigel S. Wright
Obviously noticed your reverts on Nigel S. Wright. I was surprised to see your mischaracterization (not once, but twice) of WP:UNDUE. Ledes can easily be skewed through the highlighting of certain information, and WP:BLPs are especially susceptible to this, especially as current events develop. The simplest (and most sensible) solution is to stick entirely to the essential facts (arguably the very definition of a lede): he is a businessman, he was the chief of staff, and he resigned as chief of staff. The details should always be in the body. Highlighting specific pieces of information surrounding his resignation in the lede gives them undue prominence. It's not a matter of Bill Gates crashing his car, as you say (which is, in no way, the concern exclusive of WP:UNDUE); it's a matter of cherrypicking pieces of (unfortunately incomplete) information. I wouldn't say I'm particularly a fan of him or the events leading up to his resignation, but he deserves (as does every notable living person) to have a neutral biography. user: j (talk)  19:42, 24 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Now that the scandal has broken out, no article on Nigel Wright is complete without mentioning the scandal in the lede (see the lede of WP:LEAD, which summarizes two entire paragraphs of text in the body and is solely responsible for his recent prominence in the news (e.g. compare the article today to the one before the scandal blew up ).


 * I was not "cherrypicking" facts. What I added was a one-sentence summary of the essential facts of the scandal, a summary, which is widely reported in countless reliable sources (a quick Google search proves this). WP:UNDUE says that: "An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject." If you honestly think that Nigel Wright's part in the Duffy scandal is insignificant compared to his quiet tenure as Harper's chief of staff, you're wrong. The only significance Nigel Wright will have in years to come is this scandal; this scandal is now the singly most important part of his career and should certainly be mentioned in the lede. -- -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 20:30, 24 May 2013 (UTC)


 * "The only significance Nigel Wright will have in years to come is this scandal; this scandal is now the singly most important part of his career and should certainly be mentioned in the lede." Wow.  I'd love to have that crystal ball you have there, and your analysis of "his career" is just as flawed given a quick search of reliable sources.   user: j  (talk)  21:37, 24 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok, that was too strong of a claim. Maybe Wright will go on to become Canada`s richest person or something. But chances are, this scandal will be the most notable thing about Wright. Yes, he was important in ONEX and apparently particpated in the Bilderberg meetings, but neither of those positions generated as much coverage as this scandal has and unless something drastic happens with ONEX, this won't change. If you think this scandal is insignificant enough not to be mentioned in the lede, you`re wrong. -- -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 14:58, 27 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Something is "wrong" here, but it sure as hell isn't my opinion on the prominence this content should have in the lede. The scandal itself could be mentioned in the lede, but details of the scandal should be left to the body.  That's not the current situation, though.  The article currently reads: "Wright resigned when it was revealed that he had innappropriately gifted money to help Senator Mike Duffy repay improperly claimed housing expenses."  First of all, "inappropriately" is spelled incorrectly.  Secondly, whether or not the gift was "inappropriate" (regardless of whether it is spelled correctly or not) is not for us to decide, and I don't think there has been any finding that it was illegal (as of yet).  Next up, "revealed" is a blatant weasel word here.  Lastly, because of the repayment, I don't believe there was ever a finding of whether or not Duffy's housing expenses were "improper."  (I personally think they probably were, but, again, that's not for us to decide.)  So, in one fell sentence, we've managed to use unsourced allegations against two living people and present it in such a way that's not neutral, both in tone and prominence.  So, yes, something is "wrong": the fact that you managed to draft the content and then revert repeatedly to protect it here.   user: <b style="color:#df1620;">j</b>  (talk)  01:29, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:2013 European floods
Patar knight your removal of the Polluter pays principle discussion from the discussion page did in my opinion not deserve place, since my questions addressed the management of the floods and management of the flooding costs. I will returned the deletion in order to be able to continue it. For the removal you would need better arguments.

ref.''Polluter pays principle 1) Climate change in Europe: Climate change affects both people and the environment in the world and Europe. Human-induced climate change has the potential to alter the prevalence and severity of extreme weather as storms, droughts, heat waves, cold waves and FLOODS. 1b)97% of climate science papers agree warming is man-made (published 2013) 2) Angela Merkel pledged at least €50m ($65m) in immediate federal help and holding out the possibility of more aid for the floods. Floods hit Germany and also  Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland. In Germany today on Friday 60,000 local emergency and aid workers, 25,000 federal disaster workers and 16,000 soldiers were working to control the floods. 3) Polluter pays principle is enacted to make the parties responsible for producing pollution, or as should be the cause like the floods, responsible for paying for the damages. It has strong support in the European Community countries. 4) Carbon pricing must be understood that the floods and all climate change induced cathastrophes are paid by the polluter, i.e. including polluter pays principle. The cost €50m, or a agreed share of it, should be allocated to the polluters. If we are serious to tackle the global warming, we include all the responsible sources of the pollution: building, land use, energy use from the year 1990 forward. Have you discussed this in Germany? Who is responsible for the expenses? Why is the building industry and land use neglected? Please stop the climate change. The cost must be allocated to the responsible industries to make it happen.

 * I point out that there was no discussion when I started it. Help:Using talk pages I dealt with facts, stayed on topic and gave argumented development ideas. Watti Renew (talk) 16:05, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Your post was a partisan environmentalist creed which had nothing to do with the article subject or improving the article (except the release of funds by Merkel). An article talk page is a place to discuss how the article can be improved, not to debate real-life reactions to the subject of the article. Please read WP:NOTFORUM and WP:SOAPBOX.
