Could you look into this, I'm not sure if I'm confusing him with someone else. Sources say Canonico and the date 1822 is given.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:44, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Charles. Sorry to bother you, but I'm not sure where to go with this one. I've stumbled across the term "temporal lordship" in David Murray, 1st Viscount of Stormont (which you created in 2009) and in various other articles related to Scotland, but I have no idea of what it means. Do you know if the term associated with Lords Temporal? Thanks! Location ( talk) 03:59, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, long time no connect. Do you have any input on this DNB entry? In ictu oculi ( talk) 01:04, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi , welcome back to the UK. I've expanded this, it was completely unsourced. I was wondering if you have anything on his brother John Adamson who appears to have produced the first calotype in Scotland in 1841. He seems to be notable but to date I've only found a basic sentence or two in the Hill article on the ODNB.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:11, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
That's him, good find. I should be able to gather something on him now.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:19, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
Howz that? Quite surprised there is no DNB entry on him.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:35, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
Anything on Thomas Rodger?♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:20, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
829 hits for Thomas Rodger on the St Andrews uni website! But all with passing mention, I found a few scraps to expand it a bit.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:14, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
What does one call "a scholar/expert of Hieroglyphs"?♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:21, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
hieroglyphology hieroglyphologist or Hieroglyphist? yeah I think as you say hieroglyphist, also going by google book hits.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:30, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
Ever heard of Gog Magog Golf Club? Photos of it seem strangely sparse, none in commons or free on flickr. Any chance you could photograph it? Also an iron age fort on the hill, any idea what the name is and sources? Also John Bascombe Lock founder of the club, mentioned in a book here, do you think he is notable?♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:12, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
Hehe, most golf courses aren't photogenic! Wandlebury Hill Fort I think it is.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:22, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Aha. Uh, its exactly as you described LOL. Thanks. Time they ran the bot again methinks. Do you know which Osbert it is who is the subject of the legend?♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:23, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Fascinating nonetheless. Yes about a year ago there was supposed to be a London meetup to discuss a merger of geograph with wikimedia. It was I who got the ball rolling and tried to scale the project to involve the US initially and then the rest of the world but under us so the problem of mass uploading and categorization need no longer occur. I haven't heard anything in ages about it though, I was most optimistic about it, because as you know geograph is a superb resource for UK images and if we could extend that the a world project..♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:02, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Can you move Marotiri (Austral Islands) to Marotiri, most google book hits are about it, and the NZ hill doesn't have an article anyway so dab not needed.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:57, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
Can you move Tarija, Bolivia to Tarija? Its a pointless dab, just needs a hatnote at the top to see this article is about the city, for the department see..♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:31, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Phew a warm one today. Just been playing flamenco guitar out in the sun. Feels quite appropriate! The day I can play exactly like this though! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:34, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Ah, by sheer coincidence I'm learning that piece right now. Beautiful piece. He is obviously a keen player himself if he likes that. The performance by Ana Vidovic here is the best I've seen. Flamenco, jazz and classical are all technically very difficult to play. Yet all the guitarists who reach the top 100 in Rolling Stone are blues and rock players which is generally very simple in comparison! Another favourite of mine is Vicente Amigo. A very Moorish influence I think ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:03, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Great! Yeah there;s a lot of sliding into the major third from the minor third in blues piano isn't there. I've been trying to learn jazz piano and transposing things from the guitar onto the piano. I'm a massive fan of Bill Evans in particular. I find jazz in particular challenging, sort of the chess theory of music!♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:02, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Boogie woogie style I find very demanding with a descending bass line in the left and a blues scale in the right. Strange to have a G flat note in a C scale but sounds great.♦ Dr. Blofeld
C blues, scale = C, E♭, F, G♭, G, B ♭, C . G flat is the chromatic note in between F and G, the so called " blue note". Think of it as a "flattened 5th" or "sharpened fourth". Its the same note as an F sharp. The intervals you see for the C scale are the same in any key, its basically Root, minor 3rd, fourth, flat fifth, fifth, flat seventh and root note again. This might be of use,♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:27, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Hehe, I thought it was rather like teaching grandma how to suck eggs. I did think it odd LOL as you said you were a blues pianist LOL. G flat though is definitely the most peculiar of notes and I still struggle to think of it as anything other than an F sharp! Do you like this by any chance or is it not your cup of tea?♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:23, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Oo yes she's got a lovely touch. Similar to Keith Jarrett but without the irritating movements!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:02, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Small world, [7] looking for info on Peter Sellers's tom thumb and you provided me with the info he played a grocer. Thanks! I can cite is as a source can't I?♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:37, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Wikimania
Hi Charles Matthews! It was a pleasure meeting you at Wikimania 2012! Hope to see you again next year!

Hi Charles. I'm working on a report intended to equip marketing and legal departments at corporations to have more informed discussions about their approach to COI on Wikipedia.
The idea is to help companies find better middle-ground between (a) ignoring the world's most influential website with a hands-off policy and (b) engaging in the risky, ethically ambiguous and controversial practice of direct editing by finding more balanced approaches to Wikipedia that involve Talk pages.
I'm writing a section that tries to put the COI guideline in context, explain why it's confusing, try to simplify a few things. Often a legal department looks at "real-world consequences" and they're too scared to even ask for factual corrections.
So I prowled for a veteran editor, who is still active and contributed heavily to the very early versions of the COI guideline, who would have credibility and weight to include in the report as an interview or perhaps with quotes. Do you think you might be game for it? User:King4057 ( EthicalWiki) 00:33, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Feel free to edit the questions too and we can work collaboratively on it. I have no set plan for this, other than that my personal interpretation of COI will not have credibility.
Firstly, what to avoid in a quotation from How Wikipedia Works (p. 12): "An editor who inserts content that lies outside the policies, or who removes content that is within them, is not furthering the aims of the project". Secondly, there are at least four completely safe ways to approach the task: use article talk pages, use OTRS emails, construct new drafts in userspace via the "My Sandbox" tab and invite others to comment, and approach Wikipedia:WikiProject Companies for assistance. Thirdly, it is always possible to ask for help from uninvolved parties. Last but not least, experienced editors take a measured, systematic and piecemeal approach to improving articles in any case where significant changes are required. Any time that a corporation wants changes that are not minor corrections, someone should be thinking about how major edits need to be broken down stepwise, with each step something that can easily be explained in an edit summary. It all should look like business as usual for the site, except that "Be Bold!" needs to be put on hold. Charles Matthews ( talk) 09:06, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Charles, just trying to paraphrase your comments below. Let me know what you think and/or what else you think we should add, tweak it, etc.
draft
|
---|
This section is authored by a level three master editor and a major contributor to the conflict of interest guideline - Charles Matthews. He provides advice for corporations on how to interpret the conflict of interest guideline and contribute to Wikipedia safely. The best way to describe conflict of interest on Wikipedia is: if you prioritize your intentions in editing, and improving Wikipedia as a reference site is not at the top, you have a conflict of interest. Editing on behalf of a company means you have an apparent conflict of interest, but that's not the end of it. If the editor studies our content policies, they may find that their objectives can be served, while furthering our goals as a project. Page twelve of the book How Wikipedia Works says, "An editor who inserts content that lies outside the policies, or who removes content that is within them, is not furthering the aims of the project." The conflict of interest guideline is not free-standing, but interpreted in combination with Wikipedia's content policies. So keep in mind that the conflict of interest guideline's primary intention was to give a clear warning to individual editors who might put themselves into poor situations on the website. The guideline covers everything from editors trying to promote their religion, to vanity pages on friends and family members. It is not an accurate legal statement or formal position. It does not lead to prudent advice for corporations. It is not safe at all for a company's reputation to take shortcuts here. Wikipedia's "Be Bold" policy should be put on hold in this instance. There are at least four completely safe ways to approach the task: use article talk pages; use OTRS emails; construct new drafts in userspace via the "My Sandbox" tab and invite others to comment; and become familiar with the relevant onsite forums. If reading Wikipedia's content policies and mastering the behavioral etiquette of Wikipedia, in particular for editors with a conflict of interest, is too laborious, the company should seek informed advice. |
Would you be ok with me quoting you as follows in an article for the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC):
"According to Charles Matthews, a major contributor to Wikipedia’s conflict of interest guideline, Wikipedia wants “the type of article that a business school academic would write.”
They asked to expand on the academic slant of Wikipedia and your comment from the string above jumped out at me. User:King4057 ( EthicalWiki) 18:32, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Recently I edited these two articles; both have a list of the books known to have been published under the name of Richard Sherry but without referring to the Oxford DNB article (which I have no access to from here) it is not obvious to me how to improve these articles. -- Felix Folio Secundus ( talk) 09:35, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I've just realized that there has already been an article about the aforementioned sociologist I had listed at the articles for creation, which you had deleted, however. I'd assume it had been some kind of sub-stub which really didn't indicate his notability, but there can be no question that Gary Gereffi meets WP:PROF. I'm not an expert on his field of research, i.e. the social aspects of commodity/value chains, but I do know that he is an "authority" within that field, easily verifyable by the number of citations his works have received. So if that article has been at least acceptable by any standards, I'd ask you to restore it. Regards, -- Axolotl Nr.733 ( talk) 10:24, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello Charles,
I've bid a stall on behalf of the Cambridge University Wikipedia Society at the Cambridge University fresher's fair, 2-3 October. If you are around, it would be great if you can come and help by staffing the stall for a few hours (or just hop along if you're helping the Go club already)!
The fair will run, roughly, from 9am to 7pm on the 2nd, and 9am to 4pm on the 3rd; details are yet to be confirmed. [8] It'll be a sign-up stall for the campus Wikipedia Society, and we'll give out Wikimedia freebies at the event to promote awareness for Wikipedia-editing and Wikimedia UK.
Please contact me if you're interested in helping, even if it's just a few hours. Thanks! (Apologies for double-posting if you've seen this message on wikimediauk-l already!) Der yck C. 22:28, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Osiandrian controversy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. 76Strat String da Broke da ( talk) 19:39, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
I turned the redirect into an article see Osiandrian controversy. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:34, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for that. Its quite a heavy subject, not an easy one to fully understand and write about or digest and I see somebody has placed a technical tag at the top now. Its one of those subjects though which I think is difficult to be simplified as it appears to have been quite a deep Lutheran debate in the mid 16th century.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:36, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, I'm planning a double DYK with Francesco Stancaro which I've expanded. I'd be grateful if you could check it for inaccuracies. Something in the intro about the antitrinitarian opponent thing I'm dubious about in particular. Both articles appear very important actually to the Reformation period in Germany/Prussia, exactly the sort of content wikipedia should be attempting to document.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:56, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I saw he created the stub and also edited the controversy article briefly yesterday so thought approaching him too might be a good idea. He's done a tremendous amount of work on related topics. What are you referring to with the "six online modules", sounds demanding.. Just spotted this. I'll see if Gerda can translate it for me and add anything I might have missed.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:06, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
A good cause indeed. Forgive me for asking but are you a paid worker by the foundation for this hard toil, or is it all purely volunteer work? Email me if you don't wish to reveal anything here. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:39, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Emailed.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:53, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
What I love most about articles like Stancaro is what I call the "chain effect". It identifies notable missing articles and allows you to delve into often poorly covered parts of history in that given place. I've stubbed Stanislas Orzechowski and Péter Petrovics so far from that article..♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:33, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Charles, I changed this redirect to a stub. I can find no sign that Charles Knight (engraver) has the middle name Parsons, and there is another UK painter that does use the name Charles Parsons Knight. Mary Benwell was the only article that used the redirect, and the source (DNB) didn't use a middle name, so I removed it and directly linked it to the engraver, now without the middle name. Bob Burkhardt ( talk) 23:28, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
You are invited to join in a discussion at User talk:Dr. Blofeld#Bibliography of encyclopedias over my plans to develop a comprehensive set of bibliographies of encyclopedias and dictionaries by topic. I hope you see the potential of such a project and understand that while highly ambitious it will be drawn up gradually over time.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:58, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
Thought you would have shown more of an interest in this, suppose you view it as a too overwhelming task?♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:58, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Ah, OK, hope you had a nice time. Its something which is going to gradually built up anyway... The focus should be more on getting the articles on them onto wikipedia but it would be good to have something as comprehensive as possible in regards to a resource to list them.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:05, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Charles. As you proposed the merger at John Hamilton Reynolds in February, would you be able to check the merger I've done, which is summarised here? There may be some material in the shorter (now merged) article that would be useful to merge to the longer one (which was actually started after the other one), but I haven't been able to do that yet. I might drop a note off with the creators of either or both articles, unless you have time to do that? Hope all is well otherwise (from a quick perusal of your talk page, sounds like things are busy). Carcharoth ( talk) 13:52, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Charles,
I've created a start-level article on Simon Somerville Laurie as I am working on John Struthers (anatomist) - trying to get the latter up to GA, by the way, if anyone ever gets round to reviewing it! Laurie is rather out of my frame of reference; since I saw you had a link to it, thought I'd let you know in case you feel like improving on my feeble effort. all the best Chiswick Chap ( talk) 15:35, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

At Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Civility enforcement I was asked to provide my definition of civility. I mentioned ad hominems. A search on the page showed that you were the only other editor who had brought up the term. Based on what you wrote, my own opinion and the probably correct claim that we cannot achieve a satisfactory consensus on what incivility is, I have proposed a rule against all ad hominems. While "incivility" is a vague concept "ad hominem" has a dictionary definition that it is harder to argue against, and I think community consensus against it may be achiveable. I hope you'll weigh in. 88.88.165.212 ( talk) 22:23, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Charles, Good to meet you again last Sunday. As we discussed image copyright, I wonder if you could tell me what guidelines I can use to decide whether a historical image can be uploaded? I understand it's 70 years after the creator's death, but he/she is usually unknown. Is it fair to assume that because the longest any human has been verified to live is 122 years, everything before 1820 (2012 - 122 - 70) is definitely fine? If the creator is unknown, what other criteria can be used? I'm specifically thinking of uploading some paintings from http://www.penangmuseum.gov.my/museum/en/museum/historical-paintings .

Hello Charles. I see you're responsible for some B&F edits in the past, so I'm here for your opinion. I'm working on a table here: User:Phil wink/sandbox6 that I think usefully clarifies some of the Beaumont & Fletcher interactions. It's by no means done, and not yet documented (most info from Hoy 1962), but you'll get the idea. Also, perhaps I should combine all non-B-M-F author columns as "other" and just include applicable "other" names in the cells of that one column. My questions are: 1) do you think this is (or can be) useful? 2) Where should it go? Presumably in either Beaumont and Fletcher folios or Beaumont and Fletcher... probably the first, but clearly page integration for this problem will always be a bit tricky. 3) Any other suggestions? In case you care, I've pulled similar tricks at List of Panchatantra Stories and List of Vetala Tales, which IMHO turned out rather nicely. Thanks. Phil wink ( talk) 07:50, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Ryan Watkins (writer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) 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. Under 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- Patchy1 07:26, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Looking at Thomas Chalmers I see you've added a link to studylight.org instead of a link to the EB. This is not really a good idea, not just because it doesn't work but mainly because it's inappropriate to link to another site when there are sites linking directly to the host. Could you please fix this here and anywhere else you might have done this? Thanks. Dougweller ( talk) 09:55, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Fascinating nonetheless. Yes about a year ago there was supposed to be a London meetup to discuss a merger of geograph with wikimedia. It was I who got the ball rolling and tried to scale the project to involve the US initially and then the rest of the world but under us so the problem of mass uploading and categorization need no longer occur. I haven't heard anything in ages about it though, I was most optimistic about it, because as you know geograph is a superb resource for UK images and if we could extend that the a world project..♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:02, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Ah, by sheer coincidence I'm learning that piece right now. Beautiful piece. He is obviously a keen player himself if he likes that. The performance by Ana Vidovic here is the best I've seen. Flamenco, jazz and classical are all technically very difficult to play. Yet all the guitarists who reach the top 100 in Rolling Stone are blues and rock players which is generally very simple in comparison! Another favourite of mine is Vicente Amigo. A very Moorish influence I think ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:03, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Great! Yeah there;s a lot of sliding into the major third from the minor third in blues piano isn't there. I've been trying to learn jazz piano and transposing things from the guitar onto the piano. I'm a massive fan of Bill Evans in particular. I find jazz in particular challenging, sort of the chess theory of music!♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:02, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Boogie woogie style I find very demanding with a descending bass line in the left and a blues scale in the right. Strange to have a G flat note in a C scale but sounds great.♦ Dr. Blofeld
C blues, scale = C, E♭, F, G♭, G, B ♭, C . G flat is the chromatic note in between F and G, the so called " blue note". Think of it as a "flattened 5th" or "sharpened fourth". Its the same note as an F sharp. The intervals you see for the C scale are the same in any key, its basically Root, minor 3rd, fourth, flat fifth, fifth, flat seventh and root note again. This might be of use,♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:27, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Hehe, I thought it was rather like teaching grandma how to suck eggs. I did think it odd LOL as you said you were a blues pianist LOL. G flat though is definitely the most peculiar of notes and I still struggle to think of it as anything other than an F sharp! Do you like this by any chance or is it not your cup of tea?♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:23, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Oo yes she's got a lovely touch. Similar to Keith Jarrett but without the irritating movements!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:02, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Charles Matthews! It was a pleasure meeting you at Wikimania 2012! Hope to see you again next year!

Hi Charles. I'm working on a report intended to equip marketing and legal departments at corporations to have more informed discussions about their approach to COI on Wikipedia.
The idea is to help companies find better middle-ground between (a) ignoring the world's most influential website with a hands-off policy and (b) engaging in the risky, ethically ambiguous and controversial practice of direct editing by finding more balanced approaches to Wikipedia that involve Talk pages.
I'm writing a section that tries to put the COI guideline in context, explain why it's confusing, try to simplify a few things. Often a legal department looks at "real-world consequences" and they're too scared to even ask for factual corrections.
So I prowled for a veteran editor, who is still active and contributed heavily to the very early versions of the COI guideline, who would have credibility and weight to include in the report as an interview or perhaps with quotes. Do you think you might be game for it? User:King4057 ( EthicalWiki) 00:33, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
Feel free to edit the questions too and we can work collaboratively on it. I have no set plan for this, other than that my personal interpretation of COI will not have credibility.
Firstly, what to avoid in a quotation from How Wikipedia Works (p. 12): "An editor who inserts content that lies outside the policies, or who removes content that is within them, is not furthering the aims of the project". Secondly, there are at least four completely safe ways to approach the task: use article talk pages, use OTRS emails, construct new drafts in userspace via the "My Sandbox" tab and invite others to comment, and approach Wikipedia:WikiProject Companies for assistance. Thirdly, it is always possible to ask for help from uninvolved parties. Last but not least, experienced editors take a measured, systematic and piecemeal approach to improving articles in any case where significant changes are required. Any time that a corporation wants changes that are not minor corrections, someone should be thinking about how major edits need to be broken down stepwise, with each step something that can easily be explained in an edit summary. It all should look like business as usual for the site, except that "Be Bold!" needs to be put on hold. Charles Matthews ( talk) 09:06, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Charles, just trying to paraphrase your comments below. Let me know what you think and/or what else you think we should add, tweak it, etc.
draft
|
---|
This section is authored by a level three master editor and a major contributor to the conflict of interest guideline - Charles Matthews. He provides advice for corporations on how to interpret the conflict of interest guideline and contribute to Wikipedia safely. The best way to describe conflict of interest on Wikipedia is: if you prioritize your intentions in editing, and improving Wikipedia as a reference site is not at the top, you have a conflict of interest. Editing on behalf of a company means you have an apparent conflict of interest, but that's not the end of it. If the editor studies our content policies, they may find that their objectives can be served, while furthering our goals as a project. Page twelve of the book How Wikipedia Works says, "An editor who inserts content that lies outside the policies, or who removes content that is within them, is not furthering the aims of the project." The conflict of interest guideline is not free-standing, but interpreted in combination with Wikipedia's content policies. So keep in mind that the conflict of interest guideline's primary intention was to give a clear warning to individual editors who might put themselves into poor situations on the website. The guideline covers everything from editors trying to promote their religion, to vanity pages on friends and family members. It is not an accurate legal statement or formal position. It does not lead to prudent advice for corporations. It is not safe at all for a company's reputation to take shortcuts here. Wikipedia's "Be Bold" policy should be put on hold in this instance. There are at least four completely safe ways to approach the task: use article talk pages; use OTRS emails; construct new drafts in userspace via the "My Sandbox" tab and invite others to comment; and become familiar with the relevant onsite forums. If reading Wikipedia's content policies and mastering the behavioral etiquette of Wikipedia, in particular for editors with a conflict of interest, is too laborious, the company should seek informed advice. |
Would you be ok with me quoting you as follows in an article for the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC):
"According to Charles Matthews, a major contributor to Wikipedia’s conflict of interest guideline, Wikipedia wants “the type of article that a business school academic would write.”
They asked to expand on the academic slant of Wikipedia and your comment from the string above jumped out at me. User:King4057 ( EthicalWiki) 18:32, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Recently I edited these two articles; both have a list of the books known to have been published under the name of Richard Sherry but without referring to the Oxford DNB article (which I have no access to from here) it is not obvious to me how to improve these articles. -- Felix Folio Secundus ( talk) 09:35, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I've just realized that there has already been an article about the aforementioned sociologist I had listed at the articles for creation, which you had deleted, however. I'd assume it had been some kind of sub-stub which really didn't indicate his notability, but there can be no question that Gary Gereffi meets WP:PROF. I'm not an expert on his field of research, i.e. the social aspects of commodity/value chains, but I do know that he is an "authority" within that field, easily verifyable by the number of citations his works have received. So if that article has been at least acceptable by any standards, I'd ask you to restore it. Regards, -- Axolotl Nr.733 ( talk) 10:24, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello Charles,
I've bid a stall on behalf of the Cambridge University Wikipedia Society at the Cambridge University fresher's fair, 2-3 October. If you are around, it would be great if you can come and help by staffing the stall for a few hours (or just hop along if you're helping the Go club already)!
The fair will run, roughly, from 9am to 7pm on the 2nd, and 9am to 4pm on the 3rd; details are yet to be confirmed. [8] It'll be a sign-up stall for the campus Wikipedia Society, and we'll give out Wikimedia freebies at the event to promote awareness for Wikipedia-editing and Wikimedia UK.
Please contact me if you're interested in helping, even if it's just a few hours. Thanks! (Apologies for double-posting if you've seen this message on wikimediauk-l already!) Der yck C. 22:28, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

I turned the redirect into an article see Osiandrian controversy. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:34, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for that. Its quite a heavy subject, not an easy one to fully understand and write about or digest and I see somebody has placed a technical tag at the top now. Its one of those subjects though which I think is difficult to be simplified as it appears to have been quite a deep Lutheran debate in the mid 16th century.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:36, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, I'm planning a double DYK with Francesco Stancaro which I've expanded. I'd be grateful if you could check it for inaccuracies. Something in the intro about the antitrinitarian opponent thing I'm dubious about in particular. Both articles appear very important actually to the Reformation period in Germany/Prussia, exactly the sort of content wikipedia should be attempting to document.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:56, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I saw he created the stub and also edited the controversy article briefly yesterday so thought approaching him too might be a good idea. He's done a tremendous amount of work on related topics. What are you referring to with the "six online modules", sounds demanding.. Just spotted this. I'll see if Gerda can translate it for me and add anything I might have missed.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:06, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
A good cause indeed. Forgive me for asking but are you a paid worker by the foundation for this hard toil, or is it all purely volunteer work? Email me if you don't wish to reveal anything here. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:39, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Emailed.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:53, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
What I love most about articles like Stancaro is what I call the "chain effect". It identifies notable missing articles and allows you to delve into often poorly covered parts of history in that given place. I've stubbed Stanislas Orzechowski and Péter Petrovics so far from that article..♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:33, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Charles, I changed this redirect to a stub. I can find no sign that Charles Knight (engraver) has the middle name Parsons, and there is another UK painter that does use the name Charles Parsons Knight. Mary Benwell was the only article that used the redirect, and the source (DNB) didn't use a middle name, so I removed it and directly linked it to the engraver, now without the middle name.

I hope you see the potential of such a project and understand that while highly ambitious it will be drawn up gradually over time.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:58, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
Thought you would have shown more of an interest in this, suppose you view it as a too overwhelming task?♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:58, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Ah, OK, hope you had a nice time. Its something which is going to gradually built up anyway... The focus should be more on getting the articles on them onto wikipedia but it would be good to have something as comprehensive as possible in regards to a resource to list them.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:05, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Charles. As you proposed the merger at John Hamilton Reynolds in February, would you be able to check the merger I've done, which is summarised here? There may be some material in the shorter (now merged) article that would be useful to merge to the longer one (which was actually started after the other one), but I haven't been able to do that yet. I might drop a note off with the creators of either or both articles, unless you have time to do that? Hope all is well otherwise (from a quick perusal of your talk page, sounds like things are busy). Carcharoth ( talk) 13:52, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Charles,
I've created a start-level article on Simon Somerville Laurie as I am working on John Struthers (anatomist) - trying to get the latter up to GA, by the way, if anyone ever gets round to reviewing it! Laurie is rather out of my frame of reference; since I saw you had a link to it, thought I'd let you know in case you feel like improving on my feeble effort. all the best Chiswick Chap ( talk) 15:35, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

At Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Civility enforcement I was asked to provide my definition of civility. I mentioned ad hominems. A search on the page showed that you were the only other editor who had brought up the term. Based on what you wrote, my own opinion and the probably correct claim that we cannot achieve a satisfactory consensus on what incivility is, I have proposed a rule against all ad hominems. While "incivility" is a vague concept "ad hominem" has a dictionary definition that it is harder to argue against, and I think community consensus against it may be achiveable. I hope you'll weigh in. 88.88.165.212 ( talk) 22:23, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Charles, Good to meet you again last Sunday. As we discussed image copyright, I wonder if you could tell me what guidelines I can use to decide whether a historical image can be uploaded? I understand it's 70 years after the creator's death, but he/she is usually unknown. Is it fair to assume that because the longest any human has been verified to live is 122 years, everything before 1820 (2012 - 122 - 70) is definitely fine? If the creator is unknown, what other criteria can be used? I'm specifically thinking of uploading some paintings from http://www.penangmuseum.gov.my/museum/en/museum/historical-paintings .

Hello Charles. I see you're responsible for some B&F edits in the past, so I'm here for your opinion. I'm working on a table here: User:Phil wink/sandbox6 that I think usefully clarifies some of the Beaumont & Fletcher interactions. It's by no means done, and not yet documented (most info from Hoy 1962), but you'll get the idea. Also, perhaps I should combine all non-B-M-F author columns as "other" and just include applicable "other" names in the cells of that one column. My questions are: 1) do you think this is (or can be) useful? 2) Where should it go? Presumably in either Beaumont and Fletcher folios or Beaumont and Fletcher... probably the first, but clearly page integration for this problem will always be a bit tricky. 3) Any other suggestions? In case you care, I've pulled similar tricks at List of Panchatantra Stories and List of Vetala Tales, which IMHO turned out rather nicely. Thanks. Phil wink ( talk) 07:50, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Ryan Watkins (writer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) 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. Under 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- Patchy1 07:26, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Looking at Thomas Chalmers I see you've added a link to studylight.org instead of a link to the EB.

Could you please fix this here and anywhere else you might have done this? Thanks. Dougweller ( talk) 09:55, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
