Hi CBW! May I ask for your help regarding Nashville Airport? For months, an IP has been insisting to remove "charters" that have been proven public. Many reversing one. It was protected for a week last month but it proved fruitless in the longer term. HkCaGu ( talk) 02:18, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Cambridge,
I wrote this article on the company I work for (one of the biggest jewellery chains in the country) and you warned me of copywrite images. I used the image because I thought it improved the page and as I said, I work for the company - what would you suggest I do? Should I use an image that's not on the website perhaps?
Also, I'm unsure why the article is being marked for deletion - our competitors such as Beaverbrooks, John Greed etc have pages and yet ours is marked for deletion. I am confused, I made it non-promotional?
I just want to get the article submitted - I don't need to it be self-promotional, I just think it's important that it exists. Do you have any advice? (I have read the guides on the home page.)
Anyway, here is the link, /info/en/?search=TH_Baker

The edit summery by the IP, seemed to be fairly rude. I thought after I found the ref this would stop the IP's comments but as you see here in the history; it did not. I want to put a warning on the IP's talk, but I don't want them to anger them buy adding it. I not sure what temple is best

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Canadian Inuit, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Clyde River. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi CBW! I am so pleased you added the 5th Thule Atlas to Knud Rasmussen, to liberate knowledge from Denmark to flow over the North Pole. I had no idea of this digital project, but of course now it seems not only sensible but inevitable. What amazing times we live in. I am writing this note to see if I could persuade you to start an article on the Fifth Thule Expedition, and possibly the other expeditions, and maybe the atlas project itself. It doesn't have to be elaborate or comprehensive, but I think you have the background (the intellectual culture?) to hammer it out. By the way, I love the Tshirt image. Where else is there a street named after a fetus?!?! I am intrigued by the linguistics: it appears that all the words for different types of caribou have no common root. Is that correct? Fascinating stuff, seeing the world differently through different languages. Carbon Caryatid ( talk) 12:49, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi there:
Just a quick note to let you know that your patronizing tone and revision of my edits in subject above is not appreciated. My expertise is in suicide prevention. I am neither using euphemism, nor censoring anyone. Wikipedia is about democracy, and it's about knowledge. I've come here with knowledge from my field, and I am applying it.
The word "committed" is no longer accepted in the suicide prevention lexicon. I reference reportingonsuicide.org in almost all of my edits. This change in guidelines is also reflected in the AP style guide. Please feel free to look that up.
Second, removing suicide methods at the top of an article (I am specifically referencing Junior Seau here) is, again, not censorship. Research indicates that the ways suicide is handled in the media can have an effect on suicide contagion. That risk is increased fivefold when the suicide death was that of a celebrity. I made an edit that allowed for the method to still be available for those interested, but it didn't advertise it.
Choosing to handle the subject appropriately and to apply my knowledge to Wikipedia is not trivializing the subject. Please respect your fellow editors and understand that they come to the table with knowledge, too—indeed, knowledge you, yourself, may not have.

CambridgeBayWeather, I had hoped that Pending changes would take care of the problem, but the issue is still ongoing. Can we up the RPP to full until there is a reliable source reporting her death (if it did, indeed, occur)? -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:26, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
CambridgeBayWeather, thank you so much for responding so quickly to what was happening at the Noel Neill article. Rumors had been swirling around the internet for more than 24 hours when the article came alive (as so many do when someone has died or is rumored of dying). Caution taken because the article is a BLP seemed the right course to take. With the unreliable sources only reporting for over 24 hours about the possibility of her death, I just couldn't justify seeing a death date and place being added to a BLP without a major news source that fit Wikipedia's description of a WP:RS, hence my requests for page protection. It would see, at this time, that Noel Neill's death is now being reported by the Houston Chronicle and the Boston Herald. Could you unprotect the article so the content can be added? I do request, however, that you put it back on pending changes status as it's likely a bunch of IPs and brand new accounts will come out of the woodwork to put in their two cents (as always seems to happen in cases such as this).

Hi CambridgeBayWeather, you recently declined a protection request for this page because there was not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection.

Hi, same guy as User_talk:78.225.149.66 and User_talk:82.239.43.182 here. You recently granted two protection requests on GMC and Enterprise output management, but I think these requests were made for no good reason and quite possibly very wrong reasons, see also the discussion on User_talk:FoCuSandLeArN and User_talk:Drchriswilliams#Notability_of_GMC_Software.

Hi,
Disha Patani participated in Miss Indore 2013 contest where every contestant has to reveal their age. She turned 20 in 2012. Her official facebook page has a video of HERSELF on her Birthday thanking fans (13 June, 2016). https://www.facebook.com/DishaToabh/videos/604453726391043/
This is her video where she won Pantaloon Fresh Face in 2012 and she HERSELF confirms she is from Bareilly and a student of BTech in Lucknow University - 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1iQ2o1ilk8
What more can be reliable than the actor herself confirming details in videos? She made a special video to thank fans on her birthday and her fans know 13 June is her birthday. Her d.ob is 100% confirmed as 13 June, 1992.
As for birth year, I dont why her fans on wikipedia are ashamed of revealing it but here is the video from 2012 where she was the first runner up confirming her as 19 and she turned 20 the same year. All her interviews given since 2012, confirm her birth year as 1992.

If there is still hesitation, she can be contacted on her official facebook page to confirm 1992 as her birth year. It was visible for a long time till Dec 2015 when her birth year started going missing. I don't understand the references used are also from internet pages then why are these not considered valid? References calling her "Tiger Shroff's girlfriend" are not reliable as Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani have NEVER confirmed their relationship.

Hello CambridgeBayWeather. A few weeks ago you moved Captain Asfandyar Bukhari Shaheed to Asfandyar Bukhari Shaheed. User AbdulQahaar, a relatively new author, meanwhile reverted that move. I must say that I concur with your move and tried to explain the reasoning behind this to AbdulQahaar at User talk:AbdulQahaar#Captain Asfandyar Bukhari Shaheed. I hope this can be solved without an edit war, so if you want to move the article to a title without the "Captain" in front of it and keep Captain Asfandyar Bukhari Shaheed as a redirect, you would have my backing for this as I think this would be in line with the article naming practice on Wikipedia. -- Proofreader ( talk) 21:23, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Greetings! When you have the time, could you please have a look at Tigrinyas? As per the speculation template, the link-thrus which don't indicate that the individuals have Tigrinya parentage should be removed. Kind Regards-- Soupforone ( talk) 15:24, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Comment Alot of those people are/were of the Tigrinya ethnicity. Bahta Hagos was a AkeleGuzay Tigrinya. Ras Woldemikael was a Hamasien Tigrinya. Yemane Barya (Gebremichael) was a Tigrinya. Helen Meles is a Tigrinya. Nat Berhe's father is a Tigrinya. Outright deleting them is the wrong decision here. A Tigrinya person is an Eritrean who speaks Tigrinya as their mother tongue and who has ancestry in a village in one of the three Kebessa (Highland) Districts: AkeleGuzay, Hamassien, and Seraye. Alot of those people that have been deleted do meet this criteria. Every source doesn't have to say they are outright Tigrinya or of Tigrinya parents. I think it is best to revert your edits Soupforone. Otakrem ( talk) 21:12, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Otakrem, with respect, that is not how WP:QUESTIONABLE, WP:Common knowledge, WP:NOTMADEUP and Template:Speculation work. As CambridgeBayWeather explained, you can't just claim that so and so is of Tigrinya parentage (whether they are alive or dead). Per WP:BLP and the aforementioned policies, you first need to source this properly on their respective pages. Only then can they can be appended. The good thing about ethnicity is that it is relatively objective (as opposed to something artificial like race), and thus it is easy to substantiate within Wikipedia's policies. Just link their actual ethnic heritage on their respective pages, and we're good to go. This should be easy to do if they indeed are of Tigrinya parentage. Soupforone ( talk) 16:00, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
A person can indeed belong to a single or multiple ethnic groups. However, on wiki, this parentage must be verifiable. One can't just claim that so and so is Tigrinya because it's WP:Common knowledge, he/she speaks such and such a language, was born in this or that district, or whatever. And yes, this and the other policies and guidelines above obviously also apply to the Amhara, Oromo, Tigrayans and every other actual ethnic group. Soupforone ( talk) 16:20, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Are you requiring that Eritrean Tigrinyas show their IDs in "reliable sources"? What exactly should a source say? Since obviously, you state that "district" and "language spoken", etc don't qualify for someone to identify their ethnicity? Seems you've set a Higher Requirement/Standard for Eritrean Tigrinyas. I will be viewing the Amhara, Oromo, Tigrayan pages to see if you personally will be deleting those Notable Persons also. Are you going to delete those Notable Persons from those Articles since they do not meet this Requirement? In 2 days, I will review those articles, if you did not delete those Notable persons from those Articles, then I will seek further administration support for Unequal application of the Wikipedia Guidelines. Requested Action from You:Confirm to me in 2 days with diffs and the Same Talkpage discussion on each of those pages. Otakrem ( talk) 23:16, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Otakrem, I don't have the time to do all that nor am I obligated to policy-wise. Should you encounter this, though, just make sure on your end that the link-thrus establish that the folks are indeed of actual Tigrinya, Amhara, Oromo, etc. parentage or belong to these ethnic groups' respective clans. This implies common ancestors, which is what actual, non-assimilated ethnic groups objectively boil down to. Soupforone ( talk) 02:29, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
It's actually pretty straightforward. Speaking Tigrinya (which is the de facto national language of Eritrea) or being born into a particular national district (no district is 100% Tigrinya) are not necessarily indications that an individual is ethnically Tigrinya. A person is ethnically Tigrinya if he/she has either Tigrinya parentage or belongs to a non-assimilated Tigrinya clan, as this implies the sharing of actual common/blood ancestors. Soupforone ( talk) 18:03, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
Well, that's rather ironic since the link you proffered on the ruler Woldemariam Solomon (whom you insisted was ethnically Tigrinya) indicates that he hailed from the "Hazega clan" [5]. This sort of thing and general unfamiliarity with website policy is what is the actual sticking point here, though it needn't be. Again, just link their actual ethnic heritage on their respective pages, and we're good to go. This should be fairly straightforward to do if they indeed are of Tigrinya parentage [6]. Soupforone ( talk) 02:36, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
The thing is that many adjacent Falasha and other non-Tigrinyas have adopted the Tigrinya language and culture [7]. Therefore, a person is ethnically Tigrinya only if he/she has either Tigrinya parentage or belongs to a non-assimilated Tigrinya clan. Soupforone ( talk) 02:51, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
CambridgeBayWeather, Richard reinserted the o/r links on Tigrinyas despite your stipulation above that this is against WP:BLP. He also appended two external links, neither of which pertains to the Tigrinya ethnic group specifically but rather to the Tigrinya language [8] [9]. Tigrinya is the de facto national language of Eritrea, so it is not necessarily ethnic group specific. Could you please fix this? Kind Regards-- Soupforone ( talk) 17:29, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
Cambridge, Richard just blanked the Template:Fvs on Tigrinya, albeit without removing the tagged text. If this persists, could you please lock the page? Kind Regards-- Soupforone ( talk) 16:50, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
CambridgeBayWeather, Richard has now ignored WP:NOETHNICGALLERIES as well. He has also alluded to the Goitom fv link, although the url only points to a shirt with Tigrinya written on it rather than Tigrinya parentage. Could you please either correct or clear the tagged internal & external urls? Kind Regards-- Soupforone ( talk) 17:58, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
CambridgeBayWeather, Richard has appended yet other fv internal and external links. One is to a blog piece on Eritrean traditional names [10], and the other is on a French artist [11]. Please also see this official website, which indicates otherwise [12]. Can you please clear these fv links as well? Kind Regards-- Soupforone ( talk) 16:11, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello, CambridgeBayWeather. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

Hi Cambridge,
I wrote this article on the company I work for (one of the biggest jewellery chains in the country) and you warned me of copywrite images. I used the image because I thought it improved the page and as I said, I work for the company - what would you suggest I do? Should I use an image that's not on the website perhaps?
Also, I'm unsure why the article is being marked for deletion - our competitors such as Beaverbrooks, John Greed etc have pages and yet ours is marked for deletion. I am confused, I made it non-promotional?
I just want to get the article submitted - I don't need to it be self-promotional, I just think it's important that it exists. Do you have any advice? (I have read the guides on the home page.)
Anyway, here is the link, /info/en/?search=TH_Baker

Hi CBW! I am so pleased you added the 5th Thule Atlas to Knud Rasmussen, to liberate knowledge from Denmark to flow over the North Pole. I had no idea of this digital project, but of course now it seems not only sensible but inevitable. What amazing times we live in. I am writing this note to see if I could persuade you to start an article on the Fifth Thule Expedition, and possibly the other expeditions, and maybe the atlas project itself. It doesn't have to be elaborate or comprehensive, but I think you have the background (the intellectual culture?) to hammer it out. By the way, I love the Tshirt image. Where else is there a street named after a fetus?!?! I am intrigued by the linguistics: it appears that all the words for different types of caribou have no common root. Is that correct?

Hi there:
Just a quick note to let you know that your patronizing tone and revision of my edits in subject above is not appreciated. My expertise is in suicide prevention. I am neither using euphemism, nor censoring anyone. Wikipedia is about democracy, and it's about knowledge. I've come here with knowledge from my field, and I am applying it.
The word "committed" is no longer accepted in the suicide prevention lexicon. I reference reportingonsuicide.org in almost all of my edits. This change in guidelines is also reflected in the AP style guide. Please feel free to look that up.
Second, removing suicide methods at the top of an article (I am specifically referencing Junior Seau here) is, again, not censorship. Research indicates that the ways suicide is handled in the media can have an effect on suicide contagion. That risk is increased fivefold when the suicide death was that of a celebrity. I made an edit that allowed for the method to still be available for those interested, but it didn't advertise it.
Choosing to handle the subject appropriately and to apply my knowledge to Wikipedia is not trivializing the subject. Please respect your fellow editors and understand that they come to the table with knowledge, too—indeed, knowledge you, yourself, may not have.

CambridgeBayWeather, thank you so much for responding so quickly to what was happening at the Noel Neill article. Rumors had been swirling around the internet for more than 24 hours when the article came alive (as so many do when someone has died or is rumored of dying). Caution taken because the article is a BLP seemed the right course to take. With the unreliable sources only reporting for over 24 hours about the possibility of her death, I just couldn't justify seeing a death date and place being added to a BLP without a major news source that fit Wikipedia's description of a WP:RS, hence my requests for page protection. It would see, at this time, that Noel Neill's death is now being reported by the Houston Chronicle and the Boston Herald. Could you unprotect the article so the content can be added? I do request, however, that you put it back on pending changes status as it's likely a bunch of IPs and brand new accounts will come out of the woodwork to put in their two cents (as always seems to happen in cases such as this).

Hi,
Disha Patani participated in Miss Indore 2013 contest where every contestant has to reveal their age. She turned 20 in 2012. Her official facebook page has a video of HERSELF on her Birthday thanking fans (13 June, 2016). https://www.facebook.com/DishaToabh/videos/604453726391043/
This is her video where she won Pantaloon Fresh Face in 2012 and she HERSELF confirms she is from Bareilly and a student of BTech in Lucknow University - 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1iQ2o1ilk8
What more can be reliable than the actor herself confirming details in videos? She made a special video to thank fans on her birthday and her fans know 13 June is her birthday. Her d.ob is 100% confirmed as 13 June, 1992.
As for birth year, I dont why her fans on wikipedia are ashamed of revealing it but here is the video from 2012 where she was the first runner up confirming her as 19 and she turned 20 the same year. All her interviews given since 2012, confirm her birth year as 1992.

If there is still hesitation, she can be contacted on her official facebook page to confirm 1992 as her birth year. It was visible for a long time till Dec 2015 when her birth year started going missing. I don't understand the references used are also from internet pages then why are these not considered valid? References calling her "Tiger Shroff's girlfriend" are not reliable as Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani have NEVER confirmed their relationship.

Hello CambridgeBayWeather. A few weeks ago you moved Captain Asfandyar Bukhari Shaheed to Asfandyar Bukhari Shaheed. User AbdulQahaar, a relatively new author, meanwhile reverted that move. I must say that I concur with your move and tried to explain the reasoning behind this to AbdulQahaar at User talk:AbdulQahaar#Captain Asfandyar Bukhari Shaheed. I hope this can be solved without an edit war, so if you want to move the article to a title without the "Captain" in front of it and keep Captain Asfandyar Bukhari Shaheed as a redirect, you would have my backing for this as I think this would be in line with the article naming practice on Wikipedia. -- Proofreader ( talk) 21:23, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Comment Alot of those people are/were of the Tigrinya ethnicity. Bahta Hagos was a AkeleGuzay Tigrinya. Ras Woldemikael was a Hamasien Tigrinya. Yemane Barya (Gebremichael) was a Tigrinya. Helen Meles is a Tigrinya. Nat Berhe's father is a Tigrinya. Outright deleting them is the wrong decision here. A Tigrinya person is an Eritrean who speaks Tigrinya as their mother tongue and who has ancestry in a village in one of the three Kebessa (Highland) Districts: AkeleGuzay, Hamassien, and Seraye. Alot of those people that have been deleted do meet this criteria. Every source doesn't have to say they are outright Tigrinya or of Tigrinya parents.

As CambridgeBayWeather explained, you can't just claim that so and so is of Tigrinya parentage (whether they are alive or dead). Per WP:BLP and the aforementioned policies, you first need to source this properly on their respective pages. Only then can they can be appended. The good thing about ethnicity is that it is relatively objective (as opposed to something artificial like race), and thus it is easy to substantiate within Wikipedia's policies. Just link their actual ethnic heritage on their respective pages, and we're good to go. This should be easy to do if they indeed are of Tigrinya parentage.

A person can indeed belong to a single or multiple ethnic groups. However, on wiki, this parentage must be verifiable. One can't just claim that so and so is Tigrinya because it's WP:Common knowledge, he/she speaks such and such a language, was born in this or that district, or whatever. And yes, this and the other policies and guidelines above obviously also apply to the Amhara, Oromo, Tigrayans and every other actual ethnic group. Soupforone ( talk) 16:20, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Are you requiring that Eritrean Tigrinyas show their IDs in "reliable sources"? What exactly should a source say? Since obviously, you state that "district" and "language spoken", etc don't qualify for someone to identify their ethnicity? Seems you've set a Higher Requirement/Standard for Eritrean Tigrinyas. I will be viewing the Amhara, Oromo, Tigrayan pages to see if you personally will be deleting those Notable Persons also. Are you going to delete those Notable Persons from those Articles since they do not meet this Requirement? In 2 days, I will review those articles, if you did not delete those Notable persons from those Articles, then I will seek further administration support for Unequal application of the Wikipedia Guidelines. Requested Action from You:Confirm to me in 2 days with diffs and the Same Talkpage discussion on each of those pages. Otakrem ( talk) 23:16, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Otakrem, I don't have the time to do all that nor am I obligated to policy-wise. Should you encounter this, though, just make sure on your end that the link-thrus establish that the folks are indeed of actual Tigrinya, Amhara, Oromo, etc. parentage or belong to these ethnic groups' respective clans. This implies common ancestors, which is what actual, non-assimilated ethnic groups objectively boil down to. Soupforone ( talk) 02:29, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
It's actually pretty straightforward. Speaking Tigrinya (which is the de facto national language of Eritrea) or being born into a particular national district (no district is 100% Tigrinya) are not necessarily indications that an individual is ethnically Tigrinya. A person is ethnically Tigrinya if he/she has either Tigrinya parentage or belongs to a non-assimilated Tigrinya clan, as this implies the sharing of actual common/blood ancestors. Soupforone ( talk) 18:03, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
Well, that's rather ironic since the link you proffered on the ruler Woldemariam Solomon (whom you insisted was ethnically Tigrinya) indicates that he hailed from the "Hazega clan" [5]. This sort of thing and general unfamiliarity with website policy is what is the actual sticking point here, though it needn't be. Again, just link their actual ethnic heritage on their respective pages, and we're good to go. This should be fairly straightforward to do if they indeed are of Tigrinya parentage [6]. Soupforone ( talk) 02:36, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
The thing is that many adjacent Falasha and other non-Tigrinyas have adopted the Tigrinya language and culture [7]. Therefore, a person is ethnically Tigrinya only if he/she has either Tigrinya parentage or belongs to a non-assimilated Tigrinya clan. Soupforone ( talk) 02:51, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
CambridgeBayWeather, Richard reinserted the o/r links on Tigrinyas despite your stipulation above that this is against WP:BLP. He also appended two external links, neither of which pertains to the Tigrinya ethnic group specifically but rather to the Tigrinya language [8] [9]. Tigrinya is the de facto national language of Eritrea, so it is not necessarily ethnic group specific. Could you please fix this? Kind Regards-- Soupforone ( talk) 17:29, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
Cambridge, Richard just blanked the Template:Fvs on Tigrinya, albeit without removing the tagged text. If this persists, could you please lock the page? Kind Regards-- Soupforone ( talk) 16:50, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
CambridgeBayWeather, Richard has now ignored WP:NOETHNICGALLERIES as well. He has also alluded to the Goitom fv link, although the url only points to a shirt with Tigrinya written on it rather than Tigrinya parentage. Could you please either correct or clear the tagged internal & external urls? Kind Regards-- Soupforone ( talk) 17:58, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
CambridgeBayWeather, Richard has appended yet other fv internal and external links. One is to a blog piece on Eritrean traditional names [10], and the other is on a French artist [11]. Please also see this official website, which indicates otherwise [12]. Can you please clear these fv links as well? Kind Regards-- Soupforone ( talk) 16:11, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
Greetings! File:Dgdfg.jpg seems to be a copyright infringement of a file originally published here. A user claims that that url doesn't exist, but it's working alright for me. The file also appears on an older webpage screenshot [13]. Is the url working on your end? Kind Regards-- Soupforone ( talk) 03:07, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello, CambridgeBayWeather. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
