User talk:Singularity42/Archive 2

Non template
So what is this db-fpcfail-notice that you used five times on User talk:FloridaFinest? &mdash; RHaworth 05:00, 2 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Some very strange Twinkle bug, it looks like. I tagged a few files the user had uploaded with Twinkle, and it looks like there is some bug with notifying the user.  I'll report it later today when I get the chance. (I'll also be reporting a bug for Twinkle's ability to do Sockpuppet investigations. Singularity42 (talk) 12:01, 2 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I've reported both bugs to TW's discussion page. Singularity42 (talk) 12:17, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm incredibly sorry!
I wanted to block User:EasyIME, but accidentally blocked you instead; I've immediately reversed my action, explaining I had made a mistake. I'm extremely sorry I soiled your block log; please, accept my most sincere apology. Salvio Let's talk about it! 15:11, 2 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Mistakes happen. No worries.  Singularity42 (talk) 15:13, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Many thanks! I still feel a bit stupid, though...  Salvio  Let's talk about it! 15:17, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Salvio, if it makes you feel any better nearly every admin has done this at least once, including myself . I've even heard of a case of an admin accidently blocking themselves, and then having to ask to be unblocked, at least you didn't do that! Beeblebrox (talk) 17:39, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Your Proposed Speedy Deletion
Your proposed speedy deletion of Archiving Talk Center of Gravity. I intended to archive prior discussion. If that was no properly done by me, then I would not object to it being corrected. If an article now appears improperly in the Article Namespace, I do not object to its summary deletion. In fact, thanks for catching the error. GenKnowitall (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:54, 5 June 2011 (UTC).


 * That's fine. Most talk pages have their own automatic archive, so I wouldn't worry about making your own archive (in fact, if you make your own archive, it is hard for you to rely on the accuracy of that archive in a later dispute).  You can also link to the diff to refer to specific comments made, even if they are later removed. If you are okay for the accidential article page to be deleted, just type   at the top of the article. Singularity42 (talk) 17:01, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Surely the constructive thing for Singularity42 to do was what I have done: move it to Talk:Center of gravity/Archive 2. Talk 24May11 Article-Edit War. Singularity42 should also have checked whether the page has automatic archiving before making the comment above. &mdash; RHaworth 17:08, 5 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Replied by email. Singularity42 (talk) 17:38, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * umm... I thought I followed the procedure in the edit help, now see what mighta went wrong. It now appears corrected by a good deed doer. Thanks to both Singularity42 and RHaworth for the catch and correction. GenKnowitall (talk) 00:16, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

You are welcome!
You are welcome, and thanks for the acknowledgment! Much appreciated. ;) Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 02:54, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for catching my mistake! You are quite right: RHsimard/fribble was indeed experimenting, and supposed to be in my user namespace. I'll have to watch out for that in the future.

Rhsimard (talk) 00:31, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


 * No worries. It happens a lot more often than you would think.  It's an easy fix. Singularity42 (talk) 00:33, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Front for the Liberation of the Napolitania
Why did you set a speedy deletion on this article?? I was not ready yet. You could set a Temp on it instead a will create a new one, just you know, and answer the talk next time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Napule (talk • contribs) 16:19, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I did not delete your article. I tagged it for deletion.  It was deleted by a reviewing admin.  As I have patiently explained on your talk page, if you disagree with the rationale (as I explained on your talk page and below), I can assist with putting you in touch with the reviewing admin.
 * It was deleted because it was not notable, a requirement for a Wikipedia article. Generally, an organization that only came into existence a few months ago with virtually no third-party reliable sources is not notable yet.
 * Talk pages for non-existent articles are automatically deleted as per policy. I answered on your own talk page so that the discussion would not be deleted.  I was actually trying to assist you. Singularity42 (talk) 16:28, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * --- Ok, I understand now, so It is not enough that the article talks about something existing, it should be verifiable in News-sphere also? thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Napule (talk • contribs) 17:46, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Exactly! I know it's a lot to read, but if you really want to work on making Wikipedia a better encylopedia, take a look at WP:Notability, WP:Reliable Sources, and WP:Verifiablity.  They are three of the most important guidelines for Wikipedia articles. Singularity42 (talk) 17:54, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

The Music Radar
Reason there is no information on our site is because we were hacked and it was all deleted. I am rebuilding it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starburst1 (talk • contribs) 20:54, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * To be clear, the issue is not whether the the music guide has a lot of information in it. The issue is whether other third-party reliable sources have commented on it to the point where it has become notable.  My own search indicates that is not the case, hence my proposal to have the article deleted.  If you disagree with me, and can indicate why I am wrong, you can remove the PROD tag (and either improve the article or explain why on the talk page).  If I, or another editor still believe the article does not meet Wikipedia guidelines for inclusion, we have the option to start a community discussion that will last one week to decide whether the article should be deleted or not. Singularity42 (talk) 00:43, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

the music radar
Not questioning your judgement, I am not quite sure I understand the process or why it was deleted. So was it because it had a lack of information on? Can you advise me what is needed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starburst1 (talk • contribs) 01:33, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Re: Signature
I just used it. And I really don't care if it has a user's username. Or if it's misleading. Other people use diferrent ones. Why can't I? The Chosen ONE (talk) 15:05, 19 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, I think it is a problem if your signature is the username of a different user account. I think it violates WP:SIGEDITORIMPERSONATE, which specifically states "Never use another editor's signature" and "Altering the markup code of your signature to make it look substantially like another user's signature may also be considered a form of impersonation".  (The issue of whether the signature should have something to do with your own name is, according to the guideline, common practice, but not an absolute requirement - I'm more concerned that it is the name of a different user account.) Singularity42 (talk) 15:21, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Diversity Consciousness
I appreciate all that people like you do for Wikipedia. As you can tell I'm sure, I am new to this milieu.

I am, however, not new to the concept of diversity consciousness. As you recommended it for deletion, you remarked that it is found on the Internet only as a book. This term is used in academia and diversity circles irrespective of the book. Some examples follow. These examples are from the world of business, academia, blogs, a textbook and general interest pages to show you the variety of places the term is used.

I posted these links here: http://diversityconsciousness.com/divconlinks.html

I wanted to post this on the discussion of whether or not the term should be deleted, but try as I a may, I simply could not figure out how.

Thank you for your consideration, Bucherpa (talk) 17:41, 19 June 2011 (UTC)Pat Bucher


 * Here's how to join the discussion:
 * Go to Articles for deletion/Diversity consciousness.
 * Add your position at the bottom of the page, by clicking 'edit'.
 * If you want to format your comments properly (which is not necessary, but does make it easier for everyone else to follow) type  (which creates a bullet point), followed by the word Keep (just that one word in bold), followed by why you believe the article should not be deleted (i.e. "the neologism is notable, and here are references demonstrating that...).
 * Others reviewing the discussion will then add their own positions or comments. After seven days, a reviewing administrator will review the discussion make a decision.


 * I'll also review the references (although I may not get to it until later today or tomorrow) and I may make my own comments. Singularity42 (talk) 17:58, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your helpfulness!

archiving
Hello Singularity42, I see that archiving appears to be working again however I'm not fully sure which one of two things that I did yesterday got it working again. It was either the collapsed thread interfering or the size adjustment allowing more threads to be archived. If it is the latter then I'm not sure we are out of the woods yet. It may cap out when it reaches 125K. I would suggest setting the time from 31 days to 14 days to get more threads to archive even if it is only for a temporary time period...I'd like to see the bot create the 2nd archive page to be sure everything is okay. Then you could re-adjust the timing to suit. Cheers, ⋙–Berean–Hunter—►  ((⊕)) 18:22, 21 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. We'll see what happens. Singularity42 (talk) 23:32, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Second archive created which means it wasn't a size-based issue...it was the template message that I had archived manually. You should be good to go now. :) ⋙–Berean–Hunter—►  ((⊕)) 18:36, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Dlkrabs
Hello Singularity42, I just came to say that Dlkrabs has made vandilism on the SpongeBob's Greatest Hits page. I reverted the edit and I'm going to see if he's vandilized any other pages. Keep your eyes peeled! Thanks!

Easy4me (talk) 15:15, 22 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Update:

He has also vandalized on The Black Eyed Peas page before. Still checking. Thanks!

Easy4me (talk) 15:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I think I understand what he is trying to do, but it is clearly contrary to WP:CRYSTALBALL. I have left the user a message explaining the problem. Singularity42 (talk) 22:52, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Laura Massey ("lollip0p")
The speedy tag you reasonably enough placed on the article was removed by an i.p.editor. I've sent it to AfD.  DGG ( talk ) 04:55, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * As an aside (as the article was speedy deleted anyway), why did it have to go to AfD? IPs and SPAs remove CSD tags all the time.  Unlike PROD, I don't think there's any policy that a CSD tag can't be replaced if an article is obviously a candidate for speedy deletion.  By way of example, what if a person wrote a one-liner article saying "Bob is the greatest person in the world" and an IP kept removing the A7 tag?  We wouldn't go to AfD for that... Singularity42 (talk) 12:02, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * In cases where someone keeps adding this sort of material, I sometimes think it better to involve the community. I have noticed from time to time that when I decide not to act as drastically as possible, people sometimes object (naturally, when I do act drastically people object also, but that's part of the job)      DGG ( talk ) 15:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. I see what you're saying. Singularity42 (talk) 15:11, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

"Daniel Toner" page
singularity42- i can assuer you that this page does not attack anybody. this book is a real story in which all my friends love. i created this page to greaten the knowledge of the wikipedia system. this page is also to warn guardians of the dagers of the playground and does not mean to offend sincerly- septer231 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Septer231 (talk • contribs) 00:08, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm going to assume good faith here and take off the attack page tag. However, I am still proposing this article for deletion due to it being about a character that was made up by some friends one day.  You are free to contest the deletion by removing the PROD tag, but unless there are some reliable sources that indicate it is notable, I will probably nominate it for a deletion discussion to get the community's view.

pentagram map edits
Hi Singularity 42. Is there no end of trouble I have incurred by writing about the pentagram map?!? In the course of the past 24 hours, I have been accused of vandalism by several editors, and my work has been reverted several times. Quite a bit of my time was wasted. (Those editors have now apologized). I thought that, finally, I could rest easy knowing that I had done a good service with this article. It seems that I am having yet another misunderstanding with a wiki editor.

Let me explain the situation. I am a research mathematician -- see Richard Schwartz -- and the originator of the subject of the pentagram map wiki. I am widely recognized as one of the world authorities about this small topic in mathematics. For some time, my colleagues and I have known that the nascent pentagram map wiki page was both sketchy and inaccurate. We finally agreed that an authority needed to clean up the article, making it accurate, up-to-date, and carefully referenced.

Owing to the nature of the topic, a specialized piece of mathematics, it is unlikely that a person uninvolved in the research could write about it in a competent way. While I cannot hope to be completely neutral about the subject, I have tried my best to be fair and accurate in my citations, in my account of the history, and in my weighting of the importance of the various contributions. Indeed, I have been a professional mathematician for more than 20 years, and I am used to writing about topics both fairly and authoritatively. Moreover, I have shared the wiki page with various of my colleagues, and they all seem quite happy with it.

You should know that I consider the editing of a wiki page about mathematics to be an extension of my scholarly work. I aim to apply the same standards of scholarship and fairness to this endeavor that I would apply to my usual article-writing. Please take this into account before reverting the edits I made. I would be quite disappointed, and (after having so much trouble) I would appeal to whatever governing body necessary in order to have a fair hearing and to reinstate the work.

My experience with wiki editors so far has been mostly disappointing, and you message has added to this. If I didn't love wikipedia and think that it was a fabulous internet resource, I would simply wash my hands of it and walk away in disgust. As it is, I hope that I can learn how to edit these pages without raising so many red flags.

Best, RichardEvanSchwartz (talk) 00:41, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, because you removed most of the content from your talk page without archiving it, I had no idea about any of the history you described above (that's why it's a good idea to archive comments rather than just blanking them...). Anyway, I didn't know anything about Pentagram map.  I stumbled upon the edits you made to the article that was about you.  There can be problems with editing an article about yourself (see WP:Conflict of interest), and when I looked at your talk page to see if anyone else raised the issue, I just saw the barnstar.  So I thought it would be a good idea to give you a welcome message (not realizing that you had blanked your talk page), and pick a welcome message that indicated the concerns about a conflict of interest so that you can be aware of the issue in the future.  All I meant to do was welcome you to Wikipedia and give a friendly caution about conflicts of interest.  I had no idea about any of the above history. Sorry if it came across the wrong way due to context I was unaware of. Singularity42 (talk) 01:21, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Richard, I loved your CV, etc. at Brown University.  Apparently you used to work for a living before coming to Brown.  FWIW, I agree with Singularity42.  I think archiving of the talk page is better, but that is a personal choice that you have to make -- it's your own personal space.  I archive my talk page, and it is not hard to do.
 * However, please note that I did put in the User page template, which of course you are free to remove. If I can be of further assistance, please let me knwo.    <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 01:33, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Give me a reason why my page has been deleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarzParty42 (talk • contribs) 15:17, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I did not delete your article. Nor did I suggest your article should be deleted.  Another editor started a discussion at Articles for deletion/List of Mutants in Wrong Turn, which you were notified of.  A discussion took place (which I was neutral on), and a consensus formed that it should be deleted.  If you feel that the consensus was wrong and not properly based on policy, you can ask for a review of the decision at WP:DRV. Singularity42 (talk) 16:57, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

The deleted material you asked for

 * Can you give us a quick explanation of what is going on? What is the issue you are bringing here? (Please provide a few diffs if this is regarding conduct and ensure that you have discussed the issues on a talk page first.)
 * There is a dispute over User:Maher-shalal-hashbaz's use of CSD tags. See, , and . Also, see Maher-shalal-hashbaz's talk page and talk page history.  Basically, I believe Maher-shalal-hashbaz over-tags for speedy deletion, especially when patrolling new pages, and Maher-shalal-hashbaz believes he can tag based on a "gut feeling", and that if others want to rescue the article, they can.


 * Who is involved in the dispute? (Make sure you let them know you have posted here)


 * Have you tried to resolve this dispute already? If so, what steps have you taken? Note: You must have at least discussed the issue on a talk page.
 * We have discussed this on Maher-shalal-hashbaz's talk page. Rather than respond to my concerns about the effect of what he is doing on new editors, Maher-shalal-hashbaz indicated he will continue doing what he has been doing.


 * How do you think we can help?
 * Some general input about whether this type of CSD tagging and new page patrolling is appropriate. Singularity42 (talk) 00:10, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Altered speedy deletion rationale: Delta Eta Iota
Hello Singularity42. I am just letting you know that I deleted Delta Eta Iota, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you.  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 00:07, 29 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I thought I had tagged it for A7 (which is what it was deleted for)... Do you recall which one I did tag it with? Singularity42 (talk) 00:48, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I recall now. I tagged it with A7 and G2.  The G2 tag was because of how the author created the article: a "help me" tag, a request to help the author create the article, and then a copypaste of the original content.  Therefore a test page.  The copypaste of the original content obviously fell under A7 (which is what it was ultimately deleted under). Singularity42 (talk) 00:52, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Can you please advise how I can proceed?

NilsSorenson (talk) 20:27, 29 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Even if it is kept as a draft in your userspace, it is still copyrighted material. You need to take a look at WP:DCM about donating copyrighted material.

switching categories...
hi... i initially created a page under the "composer" category but was told it did not meet the criteria to qualify. i would like to try and re submit the page under the category of "musician" as i have read the requirements and find that my subject would be perfectly suited for it... i just don't have a clue as to where to begin! any advice would be greatly appreciated! thank-you! (Mouser Hyde (talk) 22:53, 29 June 2011 (UTC)).


 * Are you talking about User:Mouser Hyde/Chris Rezanson? That's a blast from the past... I just looked at it again. You're saying it meets WP:MUSICBIO? I'm not so sure myself.  Which criteria of WP:MUSICBIO do you think it meets? Singularity42 (talk) 22:59, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

if you do not feel the individual meets the requirements then i won't push it… thanks, i appreciate you looking! (Mouser Hyde (talk) 00:13, 30 June 2011 (UTC))


 * Well, hold on - I've known to be wrong occasionally (well, make that often). That's why my voice is just one opinion.  Could be I'm missing something - I'm not familar with the subject matter.  If you think it meets WP:MUSICBIO, let me know, and I'll see if I can help.  A better idea might be to get some feedback from the members at the following Wikiprojects: WP:Composers, WP:ROCK, and maybe WP:VIDEOGAMES - they might have more experience in the area to help improve the article.

Speedy deletion declined: Church of the Messiah (Ottawa)
Hello Singularity42. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Church of the Messiah (Ottawa), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk about it! 21:01, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Mtking and Afd
Any discussion on AfD should be on that AfD page, you make a valid point. Yet I think follow wikipedia protocol is a valid discussion for the user Mtking. There is a pattern in Mtking's wikipedia usage of making multiple deletion requests in a short period of time. Some of those are reasonable. Some are not. I hope that through a discussion on the user page, Mtking can learn a bit more about wikipedia policy in order to use better discretion in the future. you will notice that I did not delete the tag, yet Mtking did delete an AfD tag today at Casino Madrid a page that was created by Mtking (and has since been deleted).Brad Wilkins (talk) 03:11, 4 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, you are wrong on both counts. 1) Once an AfD nomination has been made, the tag cannot be removed until the discussion is closed. 2) Mtking did nothing of the sort.  A (now blocked) user created Casion Madrid, it was tagged for speedy deletion by Mtking, and the user kept removing it - which the author of the article cannot do.  The author got upset that he was getting in trouble, so while logged off, he added a fake message onto Mtking's talk page.  Singularity42 (talk) 03:15, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * My bad. I did not see it is fake comment on his user page. I tend to believe things in good faith. And I realize it cannot be removed. yet I still believe that Mtking is abusing the use of deletion tags. dozens of such tags in 90 minutes today seems irresponsible. but whatever, it seems i am alone on that one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bradwilkins (talk • contribs) 03:21, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Soapbox (band)
Hi, I've created a page for Soapbox, a portuguese band, and it was deleted. I understand that you want to protect wikipedia from garage band without notability, but this particular band is getting big in portugal - they already went to tv channels (for their videoclip) and to the radio. Now, they released their first EP, but without the support of a record company. I hope you could allow me to publish this page on wikipedia, because it's a great place to find information about them (biography, discography, videos, etc).

Here you have some links to support my argumentation: www.myspace.com/bandsoapbox http://www.discogs.com/artist/Soapbox+%283%29 http://blitz.aeiou.pt/gen.pl?p=artistas&op=detalhe&fokey=bz.bands/3390 http://www.espalhafactos.com/2011/06/07/soapboxing-a-musica-nacional/ http://sic.sapo.pt/sicradical/programas/curto-circuito/videos?videoId={3573102E-2C8D-4692-B795-D40B872341DF} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=327Mh0HqW3k http://whosplayingatmyhouse.blogspot.com/2011/06/soapbox-daylight-dont-come-too-soon.html

Why don't you try again with a userspace draft, and make sure to include references that allow it to meet WP:BAND guidelines? Singularity42 (talk) 22:10, 4 July 2011 (UTC)


 * By the way, I haven't checked the sources you provided above, but I notice at least one of them is a myspace page.

Myspace pages, facebook pages, websites by the band or the band's label, websites to sell the band's music, forums, blogs, or pages anyone can post to are not reliable sources.

I checked the criterion for the notability and:

-the band won a big music competition in 2009, having played before Peter, Bjorn and John, Nouvelle Vague and Depeche Mode.

I find the deletion strange because I was updating the information step by step and I had no time to insert all the details.

 * Springmanta, you're welcome to recreate the article if you wish - starting it in English not just running it through a machine translator, however you will need a lot more notable sources, most of the ones you list above are useless as they are just blogs or vidoes, with possible exception of .

Anyway do you really think ive got time to waste campaigning for it to be brought back, Pfft not likely. Its your guys who are missing out on that article anyway, i couldnt really care less.

Study for Woman in Black and Green / Zero Mostel
Hello, Singularity42, and thank you for welcoming words. What I was attempting - and what I needed to know - is how to do a quick correction or convey a quick heads-up.

The error was in the article on Zero Mostel. I wondered why his daily sketchings amused the museum patrons. (I'm always looking for a smile.) The link provided no answer but I found one online; a quick delete of the words "for Woman" was all that was needed.

Is there an easy way to learn what to do next time? I have visual problems and trouble navigating through the site.

If you are able to write back, thank you; if this is too minor a matter, no worries. Thanks again, Dot1958Dot1958 (talk) 19:34, 16 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Welcome to Wikipedia, Dot1958. First, I think Introduction is a great place to help get started with Wikipedia. As for your specific question - how to fix an error in an article - you can edit the article to fix an error.  Let's use Zero Mostel as an example (you may have to modify what I am saying to take into account your visual problems).
 * As you discovered, there is an error with the name of the artist's favourite painting in the section called "Early life", and there is no reference about the story of his amusing the museum patrons (and as I'm sure you know, it is very easy for an error to come up in a Wikipedia article).
 * Now that you have discovered the error, click "edit" at the top of that section, which will allow you to edit that section.
 * Find "Study for Woman in Black and Green" and change it to "Study in Black and Green". You could click "save page" now, and the error will be fixed.  However, before you do that, you may want to look at the next step first.
 * If you really want to improve an article, see if you can find a reliable secondary source that talks about the story of the museum patrons being amused. If you find it, you can add it as a reference.  If you're not sure how to add a reference, let me know.  Once you've added the reference, save the page.
 * Congratulations - you've just improved an article on Wikipedia! Singularity42 (talk) 19:50, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

The Donkey Show
I apologize I am new to Wiki. I was trying to start a Wiki page to reference a local radio program called "The Donkey Show" on 101.5 Kfly in Eugene Oregon. It is a notable show broadcast on several affiliates owned by Bi-Costal Media (they own a lot of mid-small market stations). The show is in the mold of a show also listed on your site called the "the playhouse" a morning radio program that was canceled in 2009. The Donkey Show radio program has been voted the top radio program in Eugene for the last 3 years (see biocostal link below). Tanner the shows host is also a talent with Clearchannel Portland on 105.9 the Brew. I apologize for trying to repost the show. I wasn't aware of the policies. Again, my apologies.

 * I'm going to be taking off for the night. But what you need to do is discuss the issue on the article's talk page.  The way the article was worded before did not demonstrate that the show met the notability guideline for articles.  If you think it now does meet the guideline, say why at the article's talk page and let a discussion take place.  Eventually, a consensus will emerge.  Just reverting edits you disagree with, though, is considered edit-warring. Singularity42 (talk) 01:56, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Lodge Panania (deletion)
Firstly, I don't understand why the Page on Lodge Panania was deleted. 1) it is content that is particular to Lodge Pananai 2) it is a group of people 3) it was referenced to UGL of NSW & ACT 4) if it is because it is for a specific lodge, then why can American lodges have their own pages?

 * The organization did not appear to be important or significant. We don't have articles on every masonic lodge in existence.  It must meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines first.

we have just submitted a page on the history and activity of the art collective SOOPA, and we've been notified of its possible deletion.

Skyvalley Rovers FC
I have soft-blocked User:Skyvalley Rovers FC and deleted the article but I am not convinced it was a hoax (the content of the article, yes, but not the existence of the team). I find several references for this team including on Facebook and YouTube videos of matches, as well as news items such as this one. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:46, 4 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I based the CSD tag on the content of the article, which includes assertions that the team:
 * Was attacked by Germany in 1939
 * Dropped an atom bomb on Berlin
 * Was founded by Elizabeth II and Justin Bieber
 * Was invested by Saddam Hussein
 * Won the Korean War with help from Homer Simpson
 * Has defeated the Spanish army
 * Paid to transfer Roald Dahl to their team
 * Raise money by selling children
 * Has been named they best team by the BBC show, The Gadget Show
 * Watched Lord of the Rings and Star Wars Episode IV to help with their tactics
 * (and my favourite) With the help of Bob Marley, won the World Cup in 2904 after beating an MP in the English Civil War 2.


 * So while I agree the team may exist, the article itself was a blatant hoax / vandalism, and properly deleted under G3.

Dale Noble — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dalenoble (talk • contribs)


 * Hi Dale! I've looked at the situation, and I have a couple comments to make:
 * It does not appear that you are being stalked. Kinu believes that your article meets Wikipedia deletion policies, and has a good faith reason why.  When an editor has a good faith reason to believe an article meets the deletion policy - even if other editors might disagree - that editor may start a deletion discussion about that article.  The discusion usually goes for seven days so that the community can debate the issue and come to a consensus about whether the article should be kept or deleted.  That is what is now taking place with your article.
 * After starting that discussion, Kinu believed from further discussion that the article was a blatant hoax, and tagged the article with a speedy deletion notice. While other editors may remove the speedy deletion tag from the article, the article's creator cannot.  When you removed the notice (on multiple occasions), Kinu correctly reverted that removal, and properly cautioned you about not doing it again.
 * If you believe the speedy deletion is incorrect, you can note your reason why on the talk page (which I see you have already done). If you believe the article does not meet the deletion policies, you can say why at the AfD page (which I see you also already done).  You should now wait for other editors to comment.  The speedy deletion tag will be resolved soon (actually, I will be removing it for other reasons).  The deletion discussion debate will run over the course of seven days.
 * I see that the article is about a term that you invented. I strongly suggest you look at the following two policies: WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Neologism.
 * I hope I answered you questions. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Singularity42 (talk) 21:55, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Please slow down just a little on the deletions
You're right almost of the time. But Professor at Harvard is an indication of possible importance. More information was of course needed, but if indeed a full professor, I can't imagine that anyone in that such a position would turn out to be actually notable  under WP:PROF. I think the Prod was inappropriate, also, unless you were unable to verify. How can you say does not meet WP:PROF when you have not checked for information? A BLP prod would however have been appropriate, since there were no refs. . I left a specific note to the editor about writing such seriously incomplete articles--I think that's better than the formal notices. I shall now look myself for sources.  DGG ( talk ) 16:45, 21 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Just being a professor at Harvard does not make one notable. On the other hand, I agree that my PROD was too quick. Singularity42 (talk) 16:48, 21 August 2011 (UTC)


 * right, it doesn't intrinsically, but I do not think you will find one single full professor there who is not. Their own internal standards are much higher than our WP:PROF, (we want an authority in their field, they typically want a world-wide recognized authority, or even the world-wide authority)  and it is normally trivial to demonstrate it.  If you like, consider it a challenge. (In her case, there are enough books, & I will add some reviews, to meet WP:AUTHOR also.)   DGG ( talk ) 16:59, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Do you mind giving Ashley Smith inquest a look?
I'm flummoxed I can't watch all of both documentaries. Maybe it's posted somewhere other than on CBC. Probably not.

Luci Pollreis
Please be more careful with your speedy deletion tagging. As DGG pointed out, DB-A7 is not used when someone "isn't notable". DB-A7 is for articles which have no claim of significance. It's a much much lower threshold than notability. On this particular article, the author said that the subject "was an Austrian Righteous among the Nations." A claim of significance doesn't get any more clear than that.--v/r - TP 20:04, 24 August 2011 (UTC)


 * It was an honest mistake. For some reason, I missed the honorific at the beginning of the article.  Had I seen that, not only would I have not tagged it for A7, but I believe it is a valid claim of notability.  It was simple human error. Singularity42 (talk) 20:06, 24 August 2011 (UTC)


 * As an aside, I think my editing history, experience, and discussions with newer editors about CSD tagging shows I know what A7 applies and doesn't apply to. No problem pointing out my mistake, like in this case, but I really don't need A7 explained to me.  I'm usually explaining to other editors why I contest their A7 tag. Singularity42 (talk) 20:09, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Had I not seen DGG's comments from three days ago, I may not have even said anything.--v/r - TP 20:20, 24 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but that was a deletion policy issue, versus CSD. I had PROD'd an article for deletion due to notability. However, given something said in the article, there was probably something in existence (but not mentioned in the article) that could easily have been found that would have met the relevant notability requirements.  In that unique situation, I 100% agreed with him that I inappropriate PROD'd that article too quickly. Singularity42 (talk) 20:24, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Well then my bad. The way I read DGG's message, I assumed (incorrectly apparently) that he was disputing a CSD A7 tag.--v/r - TP 21:19, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Ludger Fischer
Dear Singularity42, Thanks a lot for your advise on the new created article "Ludger Fischer". It is true that the topic is myself which is not absolutely in line with the wiki rules, but I took it from the German wiki which was created by someone I don't know. It is online in the German Wiki for years and many independent contributions have been made. So the content is absolutely objective and independently written. You and some other editors have already worked on the "English" article and I would be very glad if you could keep it. You have already detected that the translation was not done by a machine but it was done by someone who is not a native English speaker. Perhaps you could help to make it better. Thanks again for your help and advise! All the best, Ludger Fischer — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drludgerfischer (talk • contribs) 17:02, 25 August 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem. Just to be clear, I never had an intention to suggest the article should be deleted, although I think something should be done with the article to make sure it complies with one of the criteria at WP:ACADEMICS.  I would suggest two things:
 * Read WP:Conflict of interest and make sure you are familiar with the dos and don'ts of editing an article that is about you. There's no rule saying you can't, provided you are clear in acknowleding that you are the subject of the article, and that any edits are made with a neutral point of view (although that can be very difficult when the article is about you).
 * Right now the article only links to articles written by you, which is a problem. What we need are reliable sources written by other people about you.  Those should be added to the article.
 * Hope that helps! I'll leave fixing the language for those better at copy-editing. Singularity42 (talk) 00:31, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

It had been tagged which asserts non-controversial move by User:Russavia. I had no idea that this was not the case, no malice intended. It was virtually the last edit I made last night, hence the lack of a reply, apologies <b style="font-family:chiller; color:red;"> Jimfbleak - </b> talk to me?  05:29, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I assumed as much (both the lack of malice and the fact that you were gone for the night). That's why I went to ANI, so that another admin could restore the page.  Singularity42 (talk) 11:49, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

 * You seem to be able to access the English Wikipedia, given that you were able to leave me a message. The screenshot indicates that you went to , which is the address for the Spanish Wikipedia.  The address for the English Wikipedia is  . That should fix the problem. Singularity42 (talk) 00:48, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Ottawa Renegades all time records and statistics
Regarding the proposed deletion of this page ... say what? Every other CFL team has a all time records page?

Why don't the Ottawa Renegades have one? Especially since the team will be returning to the league next year? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ottawarene (talk • contribs) 20:44, 4 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't realize that every other CFL team had a similar page. I would withdraw my proposal, but I see you have already contested it. Singularity42 (talk) 20:47, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello Singularity42, I've just spamublocked ; neither 4 a.m. (novel) nor Interpreters (novel) could be speedied, despite their apparent lack of notability, because A7 does not apply to books. Cheers. Salvio Let's talk about it! 15:11, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Childrens' Wikipedia
On my own talk page I made a suggestion that there are often occasions where a one-page or maximum two-page article is needed at the simplified level for children. Obviously if this were to happen then this could lead into all sorts of complication and argument as to what age /level is being targetted. My concern so far is that I have had not a single reaction and I do not know how to ask this question at a higher level. Do you have any suggestions to make ?

Raymond Leonard
Hi, i've added a page for Raymond Leonard. But its saying there are copyright issues with a page on his website? Can you be more specific as to which parts, because i cannot see any direct quotes that are the same? I'd really appreciate any other feed back you can give.

Many thanks, Layla May — Preceding unsigned comment added by Creative-captures (talk • contribs) 13:20, 6 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Direct quotes are not the only way for there to be a copyright violation. See WP:Close paraphrasing.  Essentially, if you copy another piece of work and change it slightly into your own words, you are still copying the work.  This is a problem throughout the article Raymond Leonard and the webpage .  An example (but far from the only problem) is the opening paragraph. You wrote:


 * "He was born in Manchester in 1941, during the Blitz. As an apprentice he gained a State Scholarship to read Engineering, and later was awarded a PhD by Salford University. Following an initial career in diesel engine design, he joined Manchester University, and became the UK’s first Professor of Industrial Technology and Head of the Total Technology programme. TT spanned the four universities in the Greater Manchester area, and was awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize, presented by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace in 1999."


 * The webpage has:


 * "The author was born at the height of the Manchester blitz. During his apprenticeship he won a scholarship to study Engineering, and later gained a PhD. Having joined UMIST from industry, his department always achieved the highest possible research rating, and helped win the Queen’s Anniversary Prize, presented at BuckinghamPalace."


 * The rest of the article follows the webpage in the same way. Each sentence has been changed slightly into your own words and then put in the article.  See the example of how to repair close paraphrasing at WP:Close paraphrasing. Singularity42 (talk) 10:50, 7 October 2011 (UTC)


 * following up, the paraphrase was so extensive that I deleted the page for a second time; since Leonard is notable, I've started the rewrite. I  left C-c a suitable formal warning, as well as some advice to reinforce what you said.   DGG ( talk ) 18:38, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Please help me in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackalone
Hi sir, Please in need your help, i am trying to write an article on hackalone, created it here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackalone but it nominated for speedy deletion, can you please help me, i would like to have this article here, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shitansh (talk • contribs) 14:06, 1 January 2012 (UTC)


 * This appears to a website you have created yourself, leading to two issues:
 * The website is not notable, a requirement for any subject to have a Wikipedia article. Generally, a website is notable if it has been reviewed in a non-trivial way by multiple reliable sources.  The website you have created is not.  WP:WEB lists additional criteria that could also cause a website to meet the notabilty guideline - none of which apply to your website.
 * It is generally not a good idea to write about subjects that are about you or that you have created. This leads to a conflict of interest.
 * For the above reasons, I recommend not creating a Wikipedia about the website, as it will not be kept. If your website becomes notable at some point in the future, I am sure somone not affiliated with the website will create it.  For now, I recommend focusing on contributing in other ways to Wikipedia. Singularity42 (talk) 00:11, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

User:ChristianHistory has now accused you of "lying", I would support a proposal to have her/him banned from Wikipedia
User:ChristianHistory has now accused you of "lying" on the discussion board of the report I made of her/his personal attacks against me. I assume that you are an administrator and it is pretty low and inconsistent for a user to accuse an administrator of "lying" when that user is defending themselves from a claim that they have engaged in personal attacks. ChristianHistory appears totally out of control and is slandering anyone whom he/she deems is against him. Based on ChristianHistory's total contempt for Wikipedia's guidelines and basic decency to other users, I would support a proposal to have her/him completely banned from Wikipedia.--R-41 (talk) 19:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually, I'm not an admin (although I've been around long enough - just not interested in the admin tools). I keep my eye on various noticeboards, like ANI.  At this point, I think the ChristianHistory's comments speak for themselves - I'll probably support the topic ban once it has been properly developed. Singularity42 (talk) 19:29, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Removing/editing over people's comments
The reason why I edited this comment and removed these  is because they expressly did not add to improving the relevant entries but rather revealed what I considered to be a clear bias (even as the users themselves were claiming to be supposedly eliminating bias) against some of the relevant issues pertaining to those entries. For instance, a user who writes, "Please let me apologize for the behaviour of the MRM on the internet as a whole" shows a clear bias against and possible aversion towards such related topics. I removed and edited them because I didn't consider them to be acutally helping the discussion or the articles but possibly hindering them.

However, in the future, I shall perhaps be less forward and simply point out what I consider to be their bias by replying in kind. Alialiac (talk) 16:31, 28 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, whether or not you believe someone's comments reveal a bias does not mean you can edit another person's comments to remove what you think is a biased comment. You can invite the other editor to strike, but you, yourself, cannot edit that person's comments.  Also, you have to assume good faith.  If the other comments are about improving the article, then they should not be deleted, even if you think the comments are biased.  In fact, I believe one of those comments was explaining an edit that the posting editor had just made to the article in question... Singularity42 (talk) 17:34, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
