Hawaiian diacritics
Don't know if you've seen this, but as a member of WikiProject Hawaii, you might want to comment on the current proposal in the Wikiproject Hawaii MOS ; User:Erudy has posted a "modest proposal" to basically eliminate all diacritics from Hawaiian articles, except for a citation at the beginning. Right now there are only 4 comments, evenly split. As far as I can tell all of those supporting it haven't contributed to Hawaiian articles, so it would be disturbing if they claimed victory when hardly anyone who is actually from or connected to Hawaii has put in their voice.

 * Sorry about butting in this dicussion but I rather think we eliminate all the diacritic marks from the title and leave them all in the article. KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:20, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Astronomical changes
Until 26 July 2007 there used to be a "related changes" service which provided an up-to-date summary of every change made to an astronomical page on Wikipedia, and this represented the best tool available for combating vandalism on the Astronomy pages. Do you know what happened to this? On the deletion log it says "why not move it to the project that would have the most use for such a thing?" (see this), but I cannot find the related changes service on WikiProject Astronomy. According to your comment on the deletion log the page was deleted on 26 July 2007. Do you know what has happened to the astronomical changes service (can it be found somewhere else on Wikipedia)? The deletion log seems to be filled up with comments from Wikipedia newbies who have no idea what a Wikipedia "related changes" service is, and mistakenly thought that this was some kind of category or list page.

Only a kindly request
Could you possibly let me review the contents of those deleted pages:


 * Timeline of trends in music (1920-1929)
 * Timeline of trends in music (1910-1919)
 * Timeline of trends in music (1900-1909)

I would be gratefull if you copy it to my talk page (or my ukrainian talk page). That would be usefull for developing some articles in ukrainian wikipedia and of course I do promise not to restore deleted english pages --A4 15:05, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Golf
Hi I thought that a way to further improve the golf articles on Wikipedia is for the whole project to work together towards a goal. An example of this could be a certain number of good articles in so many months, or to create the project's first ever featured article. If you are interested, come to the talk page and discuss it. And hopefully through this the project can continue to work towards several goals in the near future. Grover 10:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your appropriate closure of the MfD for WP:PRX.
If, at some point, you look at the actual proposal, with a suspicion that the MfD, from the beginning, misrepresented what the proposal was, you might be able to confirm this. It's moot at the moment, because, clearly, "the community" -- i.e., the narrow segment of the community that is even aware of WP space and proposals and MfDs -- has resoundingly rejected the proposal, whether they read it or not. The Rejected proposal sitting there isn't going to cause disruption, any more than disruption was caused by the Rejected tag (there was no edit warring over it, in the end). Disruption was only caused by the intense effort to delete it, and all this shows the wisdom of User:Kim Bruning in his original closure of the MfD, as well as his subsequent closure of the DRV. The latter was clearly inappropriate, because of his blatant COI, though, in fact, he was quite correct in the action itself: it was the wrong remedy, there were several other much simpler ones, including simple reversion of his closure. His closure of the MfD itself, something that hasn't been mentioned anywere, was also similarly inappropriate: i.e., he was technically correct, and the closure as Keep, Rejected was, of course, confirmed by you, on the same grounds. However, he should not have taken that action, not because he's not an administrator -- that's a myth, that non-admins can't close MfDs -- but because he's the one who placed the Rejected tag in the first place, and is thus an involved editor. He is a very experienced Wikipedian, was an adminstrator, and could take back the bit at any time. One can see this depth of experience in his actions, easily, which were long on an understanding of the basic principles and not necessarily on what were considered at one time details of little importance, being easily undone if seriously wrong.

If it is not already clear to you why this generated such fuss, you might take a look at User:Abd/Rule 0. WP:PRX contained, not an actual Rule 0 violation, but the possibility of one taking place in the future, in such a way as to be not vulnerable to being shouted down. Thanks again. --Abd (talk) 20:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Martin Walker deletion
Can I ask you to reconsider the "Martin Walker" deletion of Aug 2007? I have no connexion with the original article or MW, but was looking on WP for info on the Health Freedom Movement. MW is singled out twice in that article, referred to as "notable", and his historical bibliography heads the "further reading". Having found the original MW article in a Google cache at whale.to, I then queried the deletion of the MW biog on the only page that appeared relevant to me: HFM discussion. This was removed to my user page by MastCell, who has pointed me in the direction of the deletion review process - not easy for someone with scant WP experience.

I believe the original article significantly mis- (or under-)represented MW's professional importance in two fields, as a writer and as a graphic designer. His secondary occupation of graphic designer was given as his primary designator, but even that was underplayed, since there was no mention that his political poster art from the 70s and 80s is held in 2 British national collections, including the V&A. However, it is as a political and cultural writer that he has earned his main reputation, over the last 25 years. However, the article failed to give publication details of MW's books published by mainstream publishers, including Sidgwick & Jackson, Canary Press, and Fontana, leaving the impression that he was purely self-published. A brief search in the national British Library catalogue gave the following 5 books:

1. Poor man Beggar Man Thief: The story of New Horizon Youth Centre. Sidgwick & Jackson, London, 1972.

2. State of Siege; Policing the Miners Strike. Canary Press, London. 1985.

3. A Turn of the Screw: The aftermath of the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike. Canary Press (1985)

4. Frightened for my Life; Deaths in British prisons. Geoff Coggan and Martin Walker. Fontana. (1982)

5. With Extreme Prejudice: Police Vigilantism in Manchester. Canary Press, London (1987)

MW's importance as a political writer can be gauged from this extract from an independent review of "With Extreme Prejudice" (1987) that appeared in the wellknown cultural journal The Edinburgh Review:

Walker’s method in this book (and his other ones) is to combine field research with searching philosophical critique of the tools at his and our disposal. Unlike many writers of the ‘left’, though, his concern is with citizens as human beings, not ciphers, which means his work is not only easy and exciting to read but also full of sudden insights into the way the arm of the state actually thinks…. It would be nice to go on and on quoting extracts from the book. More practically, every reader of ER should buy a copy, read it, then pass it around as many others as possible. It is quite honestly the most coherent and programmatic analysis of what goes on in this country today, why and what to do about it, ever. It should explode the myth that state research is an esoteric discipline undertaken by weird ultra leftists, fit only to be scribbled then xeroxed on scraps of paper; it also explodes the myth that whatever sort of government we elect, it will make a precious bit of difference. The State is, literally, well sewn up.

The circumstances surrounding MW's move to self-publishing with his best-known book "Dirty Medicine" (1993) are politically noteworthy in themselves, and explained fully in the many interviews that he has given. An independent critical review of DM from the Marxist journal Capital & Class (1996) is available here: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3780/is_199610/ai_n8751139 Since that book, MW has written mainly on political aspects of the relations between health providers, government and the corporate pharmaceuticals sector.

The deleted article failed to give adequate references, independent reviews, or supporting evidence, so it is easy to see why it was deleted. IMO it is just as easy to see why a short but better article can be written, containing a brief bio, with a factual account of the two main phases of his publications, including a properly referenced bibliography. A short "Critical opinion" section, citing the two examples above, would be helpful to 'place' MW. And of course, some mention of national collections holding his design works from the earliest part of his career would round out the picture. Please let me have your opinion whether this can just go ahead, or whether a formal "deletion review" is called for. Thanks, Sam Weller (talk) 08:59, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

This article is not counterfork of Quran or islamic holy books because Quran or islamic holy books based people iterpritation and not based on translation of arabic text of Quran. wikipidea should promote truth about Quran. but it seems that wikipidea is a place where Quran cannot be explained as per its arabic text but can all be write here which doesnot verified by arabic text of Quran. please review the deletion to promote the truth of Quran.

please read the debate and see that the truth must be verifiable with text of Quran. instead of getting reply of my post against itaqallah argument you have deleted article. in this debate all are trying to impose that i must agree with them but and not agree with the text of Quran. request to review deletion.because any claim about Quran must not be away from the messege of Quran as per its arabic text. all are trying to say that claims about Quran cannot be verified with arabic text of Quran which seems illogical because claims about the arabic text of Quran are not verifiable with the arabic text of Quran.

Template:NASA
Hi there! I was away for the weekend and just got back and to my surprise this template was redirected to Template:PD-USGov-NASA, now I know there was a discussion at wp:tfd but the thing is that template is very important to a huge number of space articles and its part of a list of third-party attribution templates which now has a huge image template ie: Template:PD-USGov-NASA right in the middle of it, see : Template_messages/Sources_of_articles also if you read here: Public_domain_resources it is explicitly asked of users to use reference templates in articles. What I'm trying to get at is: if templates such as these should no longer be used then that’s a decision that needs to be made for all of them and with the participation of a greater number of people. I have the impression that the people who participated in that discussion were not aware of the fact that this is just one of a number of other similar templates and that their use has been standard practice for quite some time… PS: in case you wanna know just how many articles were affected by this see here (scroll down to march 29) - Regards, Acer (talk) 14:24, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * When you said those templates were you referring to all third-party attribution templates or only the nasa ones? If only the Nasa one then I don't really see the point in substituting since the argument used at wp:tfd was that the text was unnecessary and that a simple summary in the history would do it. By substituting we would be adding the same text back (which was the reason for the tfd in the first place) and in which case there really inst a difference between using the actual template or subst(the template having in fact the advantage that we can keep track of the articles that use it). If the concern was more with the confusion thing then perhaps renaming the template might be the easier option? Acer (talk) 18:45, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Request for Userfieing the Adeyto article to my user space
Hi Singularity, I actually do not know you at all and I just chose you from the admins list because your user name was cool enough. I am here to ask you to please userfie the Adeyto article to my user space. This article served Wikipedia for few years before suddenly being erased by an editor with the main reason that the pictures available on the article aren't free. For a fact, the pictures have been personally donated by Adeyto (the photographer/subject of those pictures) to Wikimedia Commons for public use. But the article is still deleted/stranded because the editor that erroneously erased it is reluctant to free the article so that everyone can see it was no hoax or spam. The article is already on today's Deletion-Review log and although it was once userified by another editor, he was forced to change his mind it seems. I don't think anyone can force me to change my mind so I want to offer my user space for further discussions about that article. If my request should be beyond your powers please let me know.

WikiFur
Regarding the recently deleted article WikiFur, would it be acceptable to recreate the article as a redirect to Furry fandom (or possibly another more appropriate article, though no other obvious possibilities come to mind)? I see a couple of purposes in this. For one thing, all the existing links to the article would not become redlinks, which some might view as an invitation to create the article. For another, having a redirect would make it easier to deal with any good-faith but misguided fans of the article who might try to recreate it as a real article. Toward that end I would also add some text below the redirect (either commented or not) stating that anyone wishing to recreate the article over the redirect should discuss it first (probably in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Furry) and that any attempt to do so without discussion is subject to being reverted (I am reasonably confident that the article's proponents are not going to want to recreate it again unless/until it has substantially better references and notability than it has had so far). In addition it could include links to the existing AfDs. --Mwalimu59 (talk) 05:00, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: A humble request

 * I'd like to ask you to help me out with implementing the Hawaiian language in the other Wikimedia projects, since I can't think of many other users who know or study Hawaiian and are active Wikipedians. There's a lot of fruit to be picked, and one user can't do all of the work :) If you'd like to help, holler back; if you're too busy, it's alright.

Well, I wouldn't consider myself an active Wikipedian anymore. But you may have known me as Kalani on the Hawaiian Wikipedia :) I disappeared, of course: my primary reason was that I don't know enough Hawaiian. My studies at school have only taught me basic patterns (the most complex, I think, were simple possessives like he mau lumi moe kō ka hale "the house has bedrooms" or ehiku āna moolelo "s/he has seven stories"), and Hawaiian language grammar resources are hard to find online.

I'm sorta busy right now, even though I'm on summer break, but I suppose I could find the time to help out a bit with my (limited) knowledge of ōlelo Hawaii :)  Kal  [talk] 10:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

 * That doesn't seem a viable option, given that DRV focuses mostly on admin's procedural errors, and every participant of the AfD had voted delete. I believe in general AfDs can be relisted if the original discussions do not give the whole picture of the subject, which I feel this is the case. And since DRV isn't AfD round 2, I'd consider DRV a less proper venue than AfD for this situation.

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 22:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
