Section blanking on South Side article
Hello. There is a newly registered user who doesn't seem to understand how Wikipedia works, and although Tony The tiger and myself have been reverting his section blanking, he persists. Please have a look at the article edit log and perhaps you could explain to Reajohnson why he/she needs to cease and desist from taking a hatchet to the page without talking it over first (my attempts apparently aren't working). Otherwise, if you could simply protect the page? Thanks. Ryecatcher773 (talk) 18:25, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Michael Pollack
This is about the draft at User:WhisperToMe/Michael Pollack and in reply to the following post at here:
 * Uzma wrote here: "The draft[1] obviously was written with a number of subsections to POV promote philanthropy, views, and other aspects of Mr. Pollack that would not otherwise make it into the article or whose importance would be significantly diminished by being put into perspective were the article written to convey Pollack's life chronologically." Please re-visit the discussion. There is no "POV promotion" going on anywhere - the reliable sources (newspaper articles from the Arizona Republic and Phoenix Business Journal) call him a philanthropist and describe his activities in detail. They discuss his childhood, they discuss his politics, and they discuss those seemingly unimportant aspects. Those sections are important because the reliable sources *say* they are important by discussing them. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:39, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Your reply above is missing the all important time element. Michael Pollack lived his life chronologically. You chose to present the information in User:WhisperToMe/Michael Pollack in an order that is other than chronologically. Your motive's don't matter (so I think I concluded more than I should have in my quoted post above). However, by presenting the information in an order that is other than chronologically, philanthropy, views, and other aspects of Mr. Pollack that would not otherwise make it into the article or whose importance would be significantly diminished by being put into perspective were the article written to convey Pollack's life chronologically. The problem with the draft is the numerous of subsections. For example, his son died on September 11, 2011. The article now presents it in its own subsection. That information in the Wikipedia article should come after everything that happened in Pollack's life before September 11, 2011 and should come before everything that happened in Pollack's life after September 11, 2011. The death of his son must have had a major impact on his life and the only way that the reader can get a sense of that is if the information is in chrnological order in the Wikipedia article. To address the POV bias issues, opinions about Pollack by Arizona Republic, Phoenix Business Journal, etc. need to be presented, if at all, 1. chronologically in the biography as of the date they were published 2. in a way that limits the opinion's geographic applicability. You write, "Michael Pollack is politically conservative." Really? Where is your source saying that Michael Pollack is politically conservative as of 12:27, 17 December 2012 (UTC) (as of when I read what you wrote?). I think you mean Michael Pollack has been politically conservative." Also, Michael Pollack being politically conservative is an opinion, not a fact capable of being proven true or false. In addition, why are you telling the reader what to think (e.g., that Michael Pollack is politically conservative)? The Wikipedia article reader should be able to get a sense that he is politically conservative from the Wikipedia article, but only if his being politically conservative matters. As another example, you write, "Michael Pollack is a drummer in "A Corporate Affair," a twelve piece R&B/rock/soul band." The source you cite does not support that statement. The source would only support a statement such as, "As of December 7, 2007, Michael Pollack was a drummer in "A Corporate Affair," a twelve piece R&B/rock/soul band." And if you can't tie his drum playing to his career at least in some small way (e.g., his co-workers/employees are members of the band, he landed the x account because of being in the band) or his life events happening around December 2007 (e.g., In December 2007, he was in a band, in January 2008, his wife filed for divorce/his business went down the tubes/he met his wife while playing a gig), then maybe that factoid should not be in the Wikipedia article. To address the POV issue, I suggest having only two sections in your biography: Early Life and Career. Then, take each sentence in your draft an rearrange them in the chronological order that Pollack experienced it in his life. Once you finish the early life and career section, then, an only then, write the lead paragraph. You can see an example of this at David Marchick. For that article, I gathered all my research into one Microsoft Word document, then proceeded to write sentences from each reference. The very first sentence I wrote in that article was, "When he was 22, Marchick graduated from the University of California, San Diego in 1988." That came from the earliest dated reference used in that article (May 28, 1988). The last thing I wrote was the lead paragraph. The above points are more about nit picking than a basis to keep the article from article space. However, as for the DRV, DGG's opinion carries weight and you need to do something different with the draft other than you currently are doing. Putting everything in chronological order might be what's needed. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 12:27, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. I disagree that you should continue to have a personal life section in the draft, because that will allow you to avoid making decision as to what events in his life are important and will move the information in an order that is different from how he lived his life. I also do not agree that an article written in 2007 could support a claim that Pollack is a drummer in a band as of 2012. Regarding, "I chose to say "he is politically conservative" because he is proclaimed as such." Your choosing to present opinion as fact does not make it fact. It makes it POV. As I posted above, these are not what is keeping the draft from Article space. You should address DGG's concerns posted in the DRV because that is largely what the close of the DRV noted. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 12:59, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Need an advice. Badly.
(We met on my page in the Russian WP about Gosavianadzor and Greg Feith). Sorry if this annoys you, but I'm not sure who to ask and you seem to be an administrator here so maybe YOU know. I'm being harrassed by admins of the Russian WP. I've been blocked THREE TIMES for the past 5 days. The last time - just a few minutes ago for posting a complaint about one of the admins. And for daring to complain about THAT on my own page, I'm being threatened right now to be blocked "for trolling". They are basically looking for excuses and slightest violations to block me. The reason is my "war" against favoritism and some animals being more equal than others in Ru-WP. And it's getting worse by the day. I can't do ANYTHING without being blocked or at the very least threatened to be blocked. Nearly every single post or complaint or any message to admins from me ends up with me being blocked.

GEO Group
Hello! Recently, a group of news articles pointed out that an employee from GEO Group has been editing the their article and attempting to scrub it of any information that sheds the company in a bad light. While I don't think this is some sort of epidemic with GEO Group, it does look like they've had employees editing GEO Group related pages for several years. While going through related articles, I noticed that you've edited a large number of them. You obviously haven't done anything wrong but I thought you might be able to lend a hand, if you're interested. I don't know if you're interested in the subject, the subject of private prisons, or if this is completely a coincidence, but I thought I should invite you to share you opinion, if you'd like.

You can find the COIN discussion here. There's isn't much of a discussion as those involved were already proven guilty, so to speak. I don't particularly care which users or IPs were involved but I want to make sure the articles affected are cleaned up.  Ol Yeller21 Talktome 21:05, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Aires Flight 8250
Thanks for your kind correction. I would like to inform you that although is normal practice not to blame pilots in an accident, it is not that normal to exculpate pilots. The comments made by Aeronaútica Civil representative were highly controversial in Colombia because he contradicted himself in press interviews, firstly denying any human error and then refusing to answer when confronted with new evidence that blamed the accident on, precisely, human error. There was a civil suit at that moment that hinged on this evidence, hence the adjective "curious" that I added to his comments. FYI, the judge decided there was a civil responsibility that couldn't have been apportioned had the accident happened because of "an act of God", opposite to an untrained crew crashing an airplane (crew that had to be retrained about how to land an aircraft in a storm!). Have a nice day, by all means.--Ciroa (talk) 11:04, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate your comment on my page about being a prerequisite for using in Wikipedia the word "curious" to find beforehand "an RS or columnist/journalist who says "this is strange/curious". I would be most grateful if you directed me to the Wikipedia policy that states such curious prerequisite to the use of the word "curious". :)

I agree with you on being normal practice not to blame pilots in an accident without firm research: it is not that normal to exculpate pilots in the same way. I think that what we have here is an article written hours after the happening, article that was not edited later by using more information available.

Let me give you some, because I find much more useful to work as a team using our respective talk pages to reach a common conclusion, instead of contradicting each other in the Wikipedia page where our discrepancies are stated. That attitude, I believe, makes a better encyclopedia and, as I said, that's why I appreciate your very civil comments.

I also believe this is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper, and thus, filled with qualifications about things that happen in this wide world. If you claim that the policy of having a source for a phrase implicate that it is forbidden to use adjectives not used by the source, well, good luck with your editing: it will never end. Frankly and with all due respect, Wikipedia would be converted in Wikinews, or worse yet, in Wikiquotes.

On the point you make of a "controversy occurring" around the Aires Flight 8250, you can find here that there was not such thing, from my POV: I think a controversy requires that two people disagree on a point that cannot be judged with certainty.

What you could find (if you read Spanish, sorry) is a wild speculation one hour after the accident on the part of Colonel Carrascal (whose coment I dare to qualify as "curious"): he claimed, against all current practices of accident research, that this accident wasn't the pilot's fault, while the official conclusion of Colonel Silva Rueda, the person in charge of the investigation that lasted for a year was that "it has been concluded that the case that we worked on is a CFIT event (which is a controlled flight into the terrain), where it was proved that there were no failures of the airplane nor in the airport or aeronautic systems. The report indicates as a cause (of accident) an approach below the correct angle, due to an altitude estimation error, and an incorrect use of cockpit resources... Based on the final report of this investigation (which lasted for 11 months), it will be determined later on eventual responsibilities and penalties to be imposed on the air carrier and the airplane pilot".

I would like you to point me to any accident in which authorities like Mr. Carrascal claimed to know the causes and who was to blame (or not) minutes after the accident. As you correctly state, it's not the current practice of aviation authorities to do such a thing. If that's not curious, I wonder what is.

You can check here how funny is for the pilot to claim that the aircraft was hit by lightning while the copilot says he saw not such lightning but an "uncontrolled descent of the aircraft" executed by the pilot against his advice (hence Mr. Silva conclusions about the pilot not using "all cockpit resources", that is, the copilot disagreement on the approach path).

How Mr. Carrascal reached a different conclusion (being a friend of the pilot beforehand) in such a short time and qualified the pilot of "hero" is not curious but preposterous and, I respectfully believe, an attitude bordering crime and collusion. As Mr. Carrascal's comment were quietly waved away by investigators (which were worried about the accident itself and not the rush he made to exculpate his friend), I used no stronger words.

The fact that a judge disproved the pilot and adjudicated a civil suit to the passengers subjected to this pilot's lack of ability, as well as the official conclusions of the accident researchers that had access to the instrument recordings, is a proof of the truth of the copilot statements.

The very strange declarations of the pilot to the press minutes after the accident, pacing nervously the landing strip in front of the wreckage, with wild eyes open, in a (sorry, I do not want to offend you by using the same word again, but...) very curious public declarations about how the storm "grabbed (them) with everything it had" and how he tried and tried to pull the aircraft up against a downdraft can be read here. Instrument recordings proved he was blatantly lying.

As I've never re-edited an edition made by a fellow Wikipedian, I respectfully ask you to reconsider your corrections in light of the information I provide.

Frankly, from my POV, what we have here, after reading extensively about the accident in my native language the reports of the local press and following the civil suit and the research with interest for a year, is a pilot lying, helped by his "compadre" Mr. Carrascal.

I think that the way you edited the article makes the reader believe that what happened is an uncertainty, where no firm conclusions were reached. I see that as "unencyclopedic". I believe that you would do a favor to Wikipedia if you correct the article a bit, as I tried to do.

I sincerely tried to whisper (instead of yelling and arguing) while writing this comment: have a nice day, WhisperToMe. I wish you always have happy edits, by all means, "compadre".--Ciroa (talk) 11:49, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

ASL annotation to video
I'm personally a fan of SignWriting, and think it could make a great basis for a future experimental ASL Wikipedia.

 * There are a few examples in Commons:Category:Videos of sign language, but there doesn't appear to be any real community behind it (actually, it looks like Tamil Sign Language is way ahead of ASL on Commons!). I see you've already asked on WikiProject Deaf, and that's probably the best that can be done, except maybe going through Category:User ase semi-randomly.

Bacliff, Texas
Bayshorebabydoll (talk) 02:07, 18 April 2013 (UTC) Let me break this down for you, since we seem to have a miscommunication on what constitues an opinion. I have carefully gone through the article in question and identified several areas that are opinion and others that are not factually correct. Gator Miller is not the publisher of the Seabreeze News. The existence of such a person is questionable at best The statement – “the overall impression of the town is that much of it is a white ghetto almost as hardcore as the roughest parts of Houston's South Park or Fifth Ward” is an opinion The statement – “Lou's, the town's one true grocery store, is well stocked with booze, cigarettes and canned food, but offers little else other than wilted vegetables and whole aisles of all-but-bare shelves” is an opinion The statement – “For such a small town, Bacliff has an astounding number of bars. In fact, its ratio of taverns-to-citizens rivals those of many hard-drinking British seaside resorts” is factually incorrect. YP.com shows Bacliff has only 5 true bars. Several of these appear to be closed. The quotation - ["This is the only town I know that has churches next to bars that are next to gambling halls, and then repeat that all over town," says local resident Jack Nelson.] is factually incorrect. YP.com lists 9 churches in Bacliff. A Google Maps search shows that not all of these listed exist, and of those that do, none of them are located next to bars. According to Miller, September 11, 2004, was a historic day for Bacliff and San Leon. A town hall meeting was held in which the citizenry demanded local officials clean up the town – cannot find a record of this meeting The statement – “Miller said that many people in the town, himself included, want to be allowed to drink, smoke weed and gamble with abandon, but they want the line drawn at crack and meth “– this is an opinion by one alleged resident of the area

From my experience on other so-called 'muslim' Wikipedias (ie. where islam is the main religion of the population), I have never ever encountered such intolerance before.

User:Si Gam cannot be trusted to keep his word. Looking at history, the Aceh people do not have any reputation of keeping their word (just look at the treason of Teuku Umar. the Dutch army had helped arm this person and guess what? He betrayed and turned against them).

User:Si Gam was granted sysop priviledges from a Dutch steward and now he is acting whichever way he likes and deleting articles whenever he feels like it - based on concocted reasoning. His credibility is now Nil.

Speedy deletion nomination of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!


A tag has been placed on Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".
