Hi Delldot:
I looked at the article and it's not too bad although I would edit the language about a "pesticide treadmill" which is not really an accurate description of what happens. I have some good references on resistance and will try to work on this "sometime" -- retirement is currently a lot busier than I had hoped.
Are you by chance anywhere near Washington DC? I am organizing an symposium on the environemtal fate of pesticides for an American Chemical Society meeting there in August '09. Maybe we could get together and recruit some more scientists for Wiki work in this area. Maybe you could show me how to get around the Wikipedia, I find it daunting.

Thanks for the review! I sincerely appreciate it.
I am going to clean up my major contributions list as some of what I used to consider 'major contributions' are most certainly not what I would consider to be that now. I used to consider anything which was kept in an article for use a 'major contribution'... not one of my better moments (my other one being that the first thing I ever did was create a vanity article about my band in 2006, haha). Would you take another look once I have cleaned it up? Thanks.

Delldot,
Thank you for your message. I was happy to revert the vandalism. I've went through a few pages now and hopefully did some good.
I looked at at least one of the tools form the page you linked (wikimonitor) and while it seems nice, I accidently sent someone a warning by just trying to move the window around. Very touchy program it seems.
There are better designed ones -- right?
I am a computer programmer and spend almost all my waking hours at the keyboard. In the past, when I had to look up some information related to programming, examples, definitions, formulas and ex cetera I had to search endless web sites in endless different formats and usually had to piece together what I needed from different resources.
I have noticed that lately almost all the references I need end up coming from Wikipedia. It seems Wikipedia has crossed some threshold of information content and things relevant to me and my job are now mostly found here.
So, I figured it time I start doing my part to add to the content in anyway I can. Either via edits, additions or corrections.
What that said, if there is anything I can do help, please let me know. -Bob

Hi. I see you took down the images from Frank Bender. I'm his daughter and he gave me permission to use them. I am going to put one of them back up soon as a non-restricted image at his request, the other one we're thinking about. I also want to put up the book he is in "The Girl With the Crooked Nose" by Ted Botha , published by Random House but the other guy on here Ryan has not had a chance to get back to me yet. I think this should be OK since Frank has half-copyright and the book is on his life. I also need to figure out how to do this as I am new here. I looked at The Lovely Bones site and considered taking the code and replacing the text and images but want to check first...so here I am. If you have time to help and advise great! Any suggestions on my writing is also welcome too, I kept it minimal. I was surprised he wasn't already on Wikipedia, only mentioned in John Emil List and Vidocq Society pages.

"However, book covers can be used to illustrate the book under the (sometimes quite complicated) fair use policy. I can help you with that."
I'd love help with that. I glanced over the very lengthy copyright section and decided leaving it up to the expert is the way to go. If I can supply you with any proof, whatever Wiki needs let me know and I'll get what I can.
"The concern about the deleted pictures (as you probably understand now) is that they must be released under a license that allows any use, including commercial use..."
fine, no pic for now.
" My last concern (sorry there are so many!) is that you really shouldn't be writing an article about your father or something you're personally involved with; it's a conflict of interest. A very fundamental principle of Wikipedia is that all articles need to address their topic in a neutral way, and that's much harder to do if you're personally involved with the subject. Therefore I strongly recommend that you not edit articles about your dad or his business, you run the risk that they'll be deleted if you do."
In my first (or second email to Wikipedia I invited anyone to write it, just want it accurate. I don't know of anyone off hand who wants to go through these ropes like I'm doing now. However, he IS MISSING from Wikipedia and should be added. That's why I kept it simple and added as many links as I could think of. I just added references a few min. ago. I didn't understand how to add them before. I see they are behind-the-scenes links now- if I did them right.
If you want to edit it be my guest! I would really like to get the cover on there. This guy has done a ton for victims families and continues to do so. He deserves an accurate bio on Wikipedia - plus people are usually intersted. Also, I'd like to disagree -it is not an autobiography. I am not him. He does not even use computers.
Thx. and I look forward to working with you to get this right.
Sorry to be such a pain Vanessa! Definitely let me know here if you need any help or want to discuss anything further. delldot talk 01:08, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
You are not a pain. I am learning! This is interesting and Wikipedia has been a valuable source to me!
Cheers, Vanessa BenderArts ( talk) 03:14, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
":Hello again Vanessa! I made some changes to the article, what do you think? "
Please make changes so it doesn't have the autobiography "warning" at the top:-) I'd rather not be the one doing this actually.
"I removed the autobiography category."
Can you remove the warning from the top?
"I took off the <ref> tags so the external links showed up."
thanks so much! Didn't know that. I'm still learning web stuff.."
For some reason, the spam filter caught one of them and wouldn't allow me to save the page with it in there, so I took it out. I'm not sure why it caught that page, but it didn't look like the best source anyway; better are official publications such as newspapers, like some of what's mentioned in the body of the article. I still think you shouldn't write an article about your father or any subject you're personally invested in, you're too close to the subject to have an easy time presenting objective coverage. But I won't stop you, and it doesn't look like the article has any serious violations of the neutrality policy (though "world-renowned" should probably either have a reference or be reworded).
"I'd rather someone else wrote it to. I saw it as a nice jumpstart for someone else to take over. He was missing from Wikipedia. As far as world--renowned he is - People in his field and true crime enthuasists usually know him. He's done work for Japan (aging a rock star), England (Lord Lucan aged bust) Mexico (several femicide reconstructions), the several thousand year old man. Jeez - I know you need references and I can get them, most can be "Googled", but would rather not be the one writing the article since it's not kosher for Wikipedia. Isn't there someone at Wikipedia who could and I'll gather any additional they may need?
"The book cover image would be allowed under fair use probably only in an article about the book itself (the fair use criteria are very strict and only allow use of a non-free image if it's absolutely necessary to illustrate the subject). I'm not sure if there should be an article on the book, it would only be merited if the book has been covered in multiple, reliable sources that are independent of the book, the publisher or the subject (so, for example, if it's been covered a lot in the news)."
It's going to be in the London Financial News and Newsweek onmine. I will add links when that happens but other then that I'd like to keep my hands off the page so it's not an "autobiography:-)
"Anyway, yeah, it's too bad your introduction to Wikipedia has to be so difficult, rules-heavy and bureaucratic. It's not always like this, and it definitely gets easier! Just let me know what help you need and I'll do my best. Peace, "
thx!Vanessa BenderArts ( talk) 14:56, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for all your help. I need to take a break from this to get some work done (I'm sure you have plenty to do too!) I'm ok w/ adoption but I do not think it's necessary since I don't know what I'll have to contribute after this. I'll be sure to add references and be available for any questions, which from now on will go on the "Talk page" as suggested. I'm also going to take some new pics next time I go home and run them by you. If it helps you for me to be an official adoptee I'm down!

Hello my favourite Rainbow Lover (I don't figure you for much of a warrior, even if it is of the rainbow variety).
I'm trying to figure out the proper thing to do here. Banned users are not allowed to edit and their edits are to be reverted post-haste. That part's easy. However, what's to be done if that banned editor starts an AfD debate? RFCU has
confirmed that
J.s.a.s. (
talk ·
contribs) is a sockpuppet of banned editor
Brexx (
talk ·
contribs) but not after he/she had an opportunity to start a debate at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Migrate (Mariah Carey song). Do we allow the debate to run its course if there are other editors participating in it or do we stifle any expression of opinion or influence by someone whose contributions are explicitly not welcome?
What do you think?

I think I have solved all the major issues you listed for failing the GAN. Do you think it looks GA now? Nergaal ( talk) 09:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
About environmentalists, im not sure if you are one but do you agree with my 'environmentalist crap' on my User Page? Otnarat ( talk) 11:58, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
thanks heaps for your help, I'm still learning the language so I copied the format from the Jurassic Park page but i didn't seem to work. Anyways i appreciate it. And yea im studying Marine Biology, so I guess it's probably not in my interests anyway to post unpublished research.
So have a good day. Cheers, LeafySeaHobbit —Preceding unsigned comment added by LeafySeaHobbit ( talk • contribs) 06:09, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi its me again, sorry to be a complete novice but my references still aren't showing up.
By the way with the Parasesarma erythrylodactyla can you delete this page - its actually called Parasesarma erythrodactyla. Ive copied the info to reflect the correct page. Cheers, LeafySeaHobbit ( talk) 06:52, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
I thought it was a good faith edit and I left the "nice" template on the talk page. I never try and bit anyone who's here to help, but there simply wasn't anything there except half a sentence. If it's been expanded, believe me, I couldn't be happier. Thanks for letting me know. -- PMDrive1061 ( talk) 07:29, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Good advice. I appreciate it. :) -- PMDrive1061 ( talk) 07:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I see you took down the images from Frank Bender. I'm his daughter and he gave me permission to use them. I am going to put one of them back up soon as a non-restricted image at his request, the other one we're thinking about. I also want to put up the book he is in "The Girl With the Crooked Nose" by Ted Botha , published by Random House but the other guy on here Ryan has not had a chance to get back to me yet. I think this should be OK since Frank has half-copyright and the book is on his life. I also need to figure out how to do this as I am new here. I looked at The Lovely Bones site and considered taking the code and replacing the text and images but want to check first...so here I am. If you have time to help and advise great! Any suggestions on my writing is also welcome too, I kept it minimal. I was surprised he wasn't already on Wikipedia, only mentioned in John Emil List and Vidocq Society pages.
Thank you! Vanessa Bender [3] BenderArts ( talk) 14:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
now where are those responses...I was looking through your attractive color tabs. Don't worry I will find them! Vanessa BenderArts ( talk) 02:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
now where are those responses...AH-ha, they show up when you reply! Thx. again, checking Ryan's page now and will get back to you. Vanessa BenderArts ( talk) 02:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
writing this so I can get to your talk page, Vanessa BenderArts ( talk) 03:03, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
"However, book covers can be used to illustrate the book under the (sometimes quite complicated) fair use policy. I can help you with that."
I'd love help with that. I glanced over the very lengthy copyright section and decided leaving it up to the expert is the way to go. If I can supply you with any proof, whatever Wiki needs let me know and I'll get what I can.
"The concern about the deleted pictures (as you probably understand now) is that they must be released under a license that allows any use, including commercial use..."
fine, no pic for now.
" My last concern (sorry there are so many!) is that you really shouldn't be writing an article about your father or something you're personally involved with; it's a conflict of interest. A very fundamental principle of Wikipedia is that all articles need to address their topic in a neutral way, and that's much harder to do if you're personally involved with the subject. Therefore I strongly recommend that you not edit articles about your dad or his business, you run the risk that they'll be deleted if you do."
In my first (or second email to Wikipedia I invited anyone to write it, just want it accurate. I don't know of anyone off hand who wants to go through these ropes like I'm doing now. However, he IS MISSING from Wikipedia and should be added. That's why I kept it simple and added as many links as I could think of. I just added references a few min. ago. I didn't understand how to add them before. I see they are behind-the-scenes links now- if I did them right.
If you want to edit it be my guest! I would really like to get the cover on there. This guy has done a ton for victims families and continues to do so. He deserves an accurate bio on Wikipedia - plus people are usually intersted. Also, I'd like to disagree -it is not an autobiography. I am not him. He does not even use computers.
Thx. and I look forward to working with you to get this right.
Sorry to be such a pain Vanessa! Definitely let me know here if you need any help or want to discuss anything further. delldot talk 01:08, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
You are not a pain. I am learning! This is interesting and Wikipedia has been a valuable source to me!
Cheers, Vanessa BenderArts ( talk) 03:14, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
":Hello again Vanessa! I made some changes to the article, what do you think? "
Please make changes so it doesn't have the autobiography "warning" at the top:-) I'd rather not be the one doing this actually.
"I removed the autobiography category."
Can you remove the warning from the top?
"I took off the <ref> tags so the external links showed up."
thanks so much! Didn't know that. I'm still learning web stuff.."
For some reason, the spam filter caught one of them and wouldn't allow me to save the page with it in there, so I took it out. I'm not sure why it caught that page, but it didn't look like the best source anyway; better are official publications such as newspapers, like some of what's mentioned in the body of the article. I still think you shouldn't write an article about your father or any subject you're personally invested in, you're too close to the subject to have an easy time presenting objective coverage. But I won't stop you, and it doesn't look like the article has any serious violations of the neutrality policy (though "world-renowned" should probably either have a reference or be reworded).
"I'd rather someone else wrote it to. I saw it as a nice jumpstart for someone else to take over. He was missing from Wikipedia. As far as world--renowned he is - People in his field and true crime enthuasists usually know him. He's done work for Japan (aging a rock star), England (Lord Lucan aged bust) Mexico (several femicide reconstructions), the several thousand year old man. Jeez - I know you need references and I can get them, most can be "Googled", but would rather not be the one writing the article since it's not kosher for Wikipedia. Isn't there someone at Wikipedia who could and I'll gather any additional they may need?
"The book cover image would be allowed under fair use probably only in an article about the book itself (the fair use criteria are very strict and only allow use of a non-free image if it's absolutely necessary to illustrate the subject). I'm not sure if there should be an article on the book, it would only be merited if the book has been covered in multiple, reliable sources that are independent of the book, the publisher or the subject (so, for example, if it's been covered a lot in the news)."
It's going to be in the London Financial News and Newsweek onmine. I will add links when that happens but other then that I'd like to keep my hands off the page so it's not an "autobiography:-)
"Anyway, yeah, it's too bad your introduction to Wikipedia has to be so difficult, rules-heavy and bureaucratic. It's not always like this, and it definitely gets easier! Just let me know what help you need and I'll do my best. Peace, "

Thanks for all your help. I need to take a break from this to get some work done (I'm sure you have plenty to do too!) I'm ok w/ adoption but I do not think it's necessary since I don't know what I'll have to contribute after this. I'll be sure to add references and be available for any questions, which from now on will go on the "Talk page" as suggested. I'm also going to take some new pics next time I go home and run them by you. If it helps you for me to be an official adoptee I'm down!

Hello my favourite Rainbow Lover (I don't figure you for much of a warrior, even if it is of the rainbow variety).
I'm trying to figure out the proper thing to do here. Banned users are not allowed to edit and their edits are to be reverted post-haste. That part's easy. However, what's to be done if that banned editor starts an AfD debate? RFCU has
confirmed that
J.s.a.s. (
talk ·
contribs) is a sockpuppet of banned editor
Brexx (
talk ·
contribs) but not after he/she had an opportunity to start a debate at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Migrate (Mariah Carey song). Do we allow the debate to run its course if there are other editors participating in it or do we stifle any expression of opinion or influence by someone whose contributions are explicitly not welcome?
What do you think?

I can do this even though I didn't want to touch the body text again. I looked it up and know what to do now.Ok? Thx.~Vanessa
