Hi, I've had to re-edit this persons cutting stuff off without discussion on the sword and sandal page again. Foofbun ( talk) 22:05, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
I strongly believe the Sword and Sandal page should be modified to registered users only. When I first came across the article, not only was it unreferenced, but seemed to be written as one person's opinion on the the topic with this person eliminating any modification of his or her monologue. Reading the talk page seemed to show a collection of antagonism, but produced little that would improve the article. My view is that this individual may at one time have been a registered user, but rather than entering discussion would reedit all edits to go back to his original opinion.
I believe that Wikipedia should have a world view. The sword and sandal topic is, to me an interesting one, but unlike other film genres some people regard the subject as often a ludicrous one based on their only contact with the genre being by only viewing faded English dubbed prints originally meant as a television package in the public domain. In my own experience I first came across serious silent film classics dubbed for comedy on the Fractured Flickers, years later I would see scenes paraphrased on documentaries, but it was some time before I was able to see uncut original versions shown at the correct or near correct speed. In recent years some of these original uncut prints have surfaced in excellent condition with more sensible original dialogue. The point is that one can't base an entire genre on prints seen on MS3TK, as you couldn't base the silent film genre on Fractured Flickers.
In the genre there are the silent films, the 1950s "historical" films featuring major Hollywood stars, then the original Steve Reeves Hercules, and the imitations, then the genre's comeback. Most have been international co-productions between France and Italy and sometimes the United States.
By making the topic one for registered users only we can have people familiar with Wikipedia's policies who can improve the article with references from various reliable source. Thank you. Foofbun ( talk) 07:31, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Deryck: On the discussion of a possible conflict of interest for the Jay Jason site, there have been over ten people who have made comments and in general they have been rather positive.

Thanks for the appreciation! I did my undergraduate degree at Cambridge, though a few years ago now. But I saw these pics, and thought it would be a fun challenge to identify the last few that hadn't been placed. The real credit though goes to the readers of nwhyte's livejournal, in particular livejournal user unwholesome_fen, who was the one it was that made the key identification.
I was sufficiently inspired by the chase to start Commons:Illustrations and engravings of Cambridge, to 1923. There's quite a lot more still sitting on my hard-drive to be uploaded, but I reckon it may take several months to get the page fully filled out. I was going to wait till I'd got the project a little more complete before telling WP:CANTAB or WP:Cambridge University Wikipedia Society about it. But there are some quite useful plans of the historical development of the colleges, in Commons:Category:Cambridge Described and Illustrated, that it might be quite nice to make colour SVG versions of, if anyone was seeking a project.

Hi! I am Jagadhatri. Nearly 2 or 3 months ago you semi-protected the article: Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and dropped me a message saying: "If any further vandalism takes place leave me a message" and I would like to inform you that IP users and even some registered users have started vandalizing the article by deleting references and other useful information. It is in my watch list but I was surprised by seeing that even after adding it to my watch list people have vandalized the article and the edits did not appear in my watch list. And it is very difficult to keep track of vandals in this way. I would request you to go through the article's history and semi-protect it so that IP users don't get the opportunity to vandalize it (God knows about the registered users). I being a members of Wikiproject: Soap Opera it's my duty to protect and make soap opera articles better. Please, if you are replying me then leave me a Tb template.

No I recently had a dispute with User:Harsh 2580 and it was solved here. I earlier wrote this: "User:Harsh 2580 put a plot template in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain unnecessarily and after being reverted he wrote on my talk page as this: "I am assured that you have pea-brain. Wikipedia:WikiProject Soap Operas doesn't cite anywhere that the plot must be 700-800 words. And please don't judge on what I know and what I don't. I can assess your knowledge of editing though. Please go on and keep piling the plot until you are satisfied.HARSH TALK 09:00, 14 May 2012" and humiliating, embarrassing and threatening an user may result to block the user from editing (See this, to be satisfied: Wikipedia:Harassment), and WP:PLOT and WP:FILMPLOT says: "Plot summaries should be between 400 and 700 words". Hope you can understand. and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain is so, so the tag is not required.

Although the Olympic Organization for Kuwait is listed as participating in the 2012 Olympic article the actual organization and committee is under sanctions from 2010 and athletes will not be able to compete under the Kuwaiti flag, only as independent athletes under the Olympic flag. The official 2012 Olympic website does not list Kuwait as a participant and therefore, the Wiki article should be consistent with this fact. Please review these facts.

Thank you for temporarily protecting this page as per my request. However, the protection log says you have protected it for just 24 hours. What's the point of that? He/she'll just come back tomorrow (or this evening) and carry on as usual - chances are they may not have attempted to edit it in the short time it was protected and will never even see that it has been protected, either that or they will laugh at how ineffectual the action has been.

You blocked the Olympic medal table page because of "persistent vandalism". I don't see any such "persistent" vandalism; just a bit, that you might expect in any such article.

Actually, I just reviewed the complete list of edits to that article and I can't see anything that might be called vandalism. I found a couple of edits that you might call misguided, for example, putting an EU flag in the list alongside member countries, but that was all. Maybe I missed something?

At "2012 Summer Olympics", someone deleted the following information and reference, which seems pertinent to me. Could you kindly re-insert the information, if you find it relevant:
The cost of London 2012 has been studied by Oxford scholars Bent Flyvbjerg and Allison Stewart. [Sonderbro 1] They found that over the past 50 years the most costly Games have been London 2012 (USD14.8 billion), Barcelona 1992 (USD11.4 billion), and Montreal 1976 (USD6 billion). Beijing 2008 may have been more costly than London or not; the Chinese authorities have not released the data that would allow verification of this. Cost here includes only sports-related costs and thus does not include other costs, such as public spending on road, rail, or airport infrastructure, or private costs, such as hotel upgrades or other business investments incurred in preparation of the Games, which are typically substantial but which vary drastically from city to city and are difficult to compare consistently.
Flyvbjerg and Stewart further found that London 2012 has substantial cost overrun, 101 per cent in real terms as of June 2012. This is more than twice the overrun for previous Games over the past decade, which on average were 47 per cent over budget. Thus London 2012 is reversing a positive trend with the Games of falling cost overrun. However, cost overrun for London 2012 is below the historical average for Games over the past 50 years, which is 179 per cent in real terms, according to Flyvbjerg and Stewart.

What brought me to Wikipedia was the lack of information in the article of Meera. In mid-April 2012, after spending nearly 3 and a half months, I planned to add to those article which are seldom edited by others. Those included the Nawabs of Bengal & Murshidabad, articles related to it and soap opera articles. Soap operas are ongoing so I have to edit them daily but the article on the Nawabs is a piece of history...and I took up the work alone. Later, in May some editors helped me to fix typos and grammatical errors, but soon withdrew back their help. But, by God's grace I finished with the work today on 4 August 2012 and would love to share this success with you! My condition was same as the flying man in the pic, trying to catch a several things at the same time before it's too late. I don't know whether he succeeds or not, bu I did succeed! However, I still have to add some references and summarize the plots of soap opera articles in the soap opera articles. If you want, then you can help.

Greetings Deryck, I have a problem with your entry in the [2] section. It is very much an opinion piece with very little objectivity/encyclopedic knowledge. I cannot edit the page as it is semi-protected for some strange reason. Not being a Wikipedia fundi, but simply a web developer who strongly disagrees with your writing style, I do not have time to figure out how to overcome your 'editing block' on the page, but I strongly suggest you fix it, as young people starting out will get entirely the wrong impression of web typography for one. Particularly appalling is your use of grammar and the fact that there is at least one glaringly obvious spelling mistake. Don't know when this was written, but apart from the fact that you are misinformed, web typography has evolved radically recently and apart from the fact that your opinions on the subject are outdated, they are downright dangerously wrong.

Hello Deryck, I see you deleted 2012 in UFC events, I am just wondering if the talk page should have been deleted, there was a lot of discussion there as to the merits of the article and attempts to build (and not build) consensus. There are quite a few archives for that page in particular, I think the talk page should probably be restored (unless there is nothing really on it), and perhaps the article title left as a redirect. Thoughts? -- kelapstick( bainuu) 23:45, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I was using the 2012 in UFC events and Future UFC Events in 2012 pages regularly, and there did not appear to be any sort of notice banner on the top of either page that they were under threat of deletion, or else I would have certainly weighed in. Not all of those events had sub articles either still in the wake of the mass-deletion effort earlier in the year. I really think it's unfair to the people who actually used those pages not to make the fact that those pages were under threat of deletion with a banner. The new page replacing it is comparatively worthless and has far less information. Beansy ( talk) 03:54, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for closing the AfD. I do have a question though. I see that the previous history of the redirect that was left from the article that was deleted and made into a redirect (unilaterally I might add) to the 2012 Obama campaign article has been deleted, per G6. I am wondering if that can be undeleted, and the history merged into the current history. I would like to give some WikiLove to that article creator, and cannot find a link to that editor.

I am a bit concerned at your closing statement that If many editors from various backgrounds all prefer to use the "notability" argument to trump over the "not news" argument, then it is the latter guideline that needs changing. WP:NOTNEWS, a part of WP:NOT is Wikipedia policy, not a guideline. WP:N is a guideline. When a policy and guideline come into conflict, the policy trumps the guideline, see WP:POLCON. Do you think that the article in question failed WP:NOTNEWS? Then it should be deleted, no matter how many people say "it's notable". nableezy - 13:42, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

But there are some quite useful plans of the historical development of the colleges, in Commons:Category:Cambridge Described and Illustrated, that it might be quite nice to make colour SVG versions of, if anyone was seeking a project.

Hi! What happened is... that was a guy who died in a plane crash. Originally I redirected names of those passengers to their respective accidents if they were not Wikipedia notable, but the consensus said that those redirects shouldn't be put into place, so I stopped making them.

Hi! I am Jagadhatri. Nearly 2 or 3 months ago you semi-protected the article: Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and dropped me a message saying: "If any further vandalism takes place leave me a message" and I would like to inform you that IP users and even some registered users have started vandalizing the article by deleting references and other useful information. It is in my watch list but I was surprised by seeing that even after adding it to my watch list people have vandalized the article and the edits did not appear in my watch list. And it is very difficult to keep track of vandals in this way. I would request you to go through the article's history and semi-protect it so that IP users don't get the opportunity to vandalize it (God knows about the registered users). I being a members of Wikiproject: Soap Opera it's my duty to protect and make soap opera articles better. Please, if you are replying me then leave me a Tb template. Thank you in advance -- Jagadhatri( ২০১২) 09:28, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

You will be surprised to know that a mass deletion of contents and refernces took place on Kya Huaa Tera Vaada!!

No I recently had a dispute with User:Harsh 2580 and it was solved here. I earlier wrote this: "User:Harsh 2580 put a plot template in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain unnecessarily and after being reverted he wrote on my talk page as this: "I am assured that you have pea-brain. Wikipedia:WikiProject Soap Operas doesn't cite anywhere that the plot must be 700-800 words. And please don't judge on what I know and what I don't. I can assess your knowledge of editing though. Please go on and keep piling the plot until you are satisfied.HARSH TALK 09:00, 14 May 2012" and humiliating, embarrassing and threatening an user may result to block the user from editing (See this, to be satisfied: Wikipedia:Harassment), and WP:PLOT and WP:FILMPLOT says: "Plot summaries should be between 400 and 700 words". Hope you can understand. and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain is so, so the tag is not required. When replying, please leave me a Tb template. --Jagadhatri(২০১২) 09:15, 14 May 2012 (UTC) He's continuously threatening me saying "We'll see" and so one. He's humiliating me.

Hi Deryck thank you that you protected the soap opera articles but vandalism is back on Dekha Ek Khwaab.

Hi, Can you give protection (at least, semi protection) to "List of awards and nominations received by Infinite" page, please? I wrote this page and I have already written all the references from trusted sources, but somebody keep edit it and remove the reference... or change the reference into untrusted sources and also destroy the layout... Please, protect this page... I add this additional page, redirect from Infinite (band)'s page (part: awards and nominations). Long time ago (before that part was protected), a lot of IP vandalism happen on that part too. I don't know how to request for protection... Thank you very much... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caspereeny ( talk • contribs) 19:25, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
But, this page actually is same with 'awards and nominations's part in Infinite (band)'s page. I just move the contains and arrange the lay out systematically. Previously, That 'awards and nomination's part was also protected due to extremely High IP vandalism. In fact that this page and that part are the same... So, this page will also has the same IP vandalism. Am I right? Caspereeny ( talk) 20:03, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Although the Olympic Organization for Kuwait is listed as participating in the 2012 Olympic article the actual organization and committee is under sanctions from 2010 and athletes will not be able to compete under the Kuwaiti flag, only as independent athletes under the Olympic flag. The official 2012 Olympic website does not list Kuwait as a participant and therefore, the Wiki article should be consistent with this fact. Please review these facts. I am not sure if or when they will be re-instated. Briefzehn — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julien Houle ( talk • contribs) 19:14, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
An interesting article for several reasons. There have been recent academic studies in English of his biography, poetry and so on. I believe there is an exhibition on right now about the "Eight Outlaws" group. Unfortunately when I was in Taipei for Wikimania I couldn't find anything written about him; but now there are many webpages in Chinese about the whole group of artists.

Thank you for temporarily protecting this page as per my request. However, the protection log says you have protected it for just 24 hours. What's the point of that? He/she'll just come back tomorrow (or this evening) and carry on as usual - chances are they may not have attempted to edit it in the short time it was protected and will never even see that it has been protected, either that or they will laugh at how ineffectual the action has been. I would have thought 1 or 2 weeks would have been more appropriate. Regards, Halsteadk ( talk) 06:54, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

You blocked the Olympic medal table page because of "persistent vandalism". I don't see any such "persistent" vandalism; just a bit, that you might expect in any such article. So I now can't edit that article, and neither can many of the other contributors who have put useful stuff in there. Please review this protection. 86.25.16.237 ( talk) 11:01, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
Actually, I just reviewed the complete list of edits to that article and I can't see anything that might be called vandalism. I found a couple of edits that you might call misguided, for example, putting an EU flag in the list alongside member countries, but that was all. Maybe I missed something? Anyway, thanks for your offer. If I set up an account called "BlueBarwick" could you set it so that I could edit the olympic articles? 86.25.16.237 ( talk) 16:33, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

At "2012 Summer Olympics", someone deleted the following information and reference, which seems pertinent to me. Could you kindly re-insert the information, if you find it relevant:
The cost of London 2012 has been studied by Oxford scholars Bent Flyvbjerg and Allison Stewart. [Sonderbro 1] They found that over the past 50 years the most costly Games have been London 2012 (USD14.8 billion), Barcelona 1992 (USD11.4 billion), and Montreal 1976 (USD6 billion). Beijing 2008 may have been more costly than London or not; the Chinese authorities have not released the data that would allow verification of this. Cost here includes only sports-related costs and thus does not include other costs, such as public spending on road, rail, or airport infrastructure, or private costs, such as hotel upgrades or other business investments incurred in preparation of the Games, which are typically substantial but which vary drastically from city to city and are difficult to compare consistently.
Flyvbjerg and Stewart further found that London 2012 has substantial cost overrun, 101 per cent in real terms as of June 2012. This is more than twice the overrun for previous Games over the past decade, which on average were 47 per cent over budget. Thus London 2012 is reversing a positive trend with the Games of falling cost overrun. However, cost overrun for London 2012 is below the historical average for Games over the past 50 years, which is 179 per cent in real terms, according to Flyvbjerg and Stewart.

Moment of Joy! | |
What brought me to Wikipedia was the lack of information in the article of Meera. In mid-April 2012, after spending nearly 3 and a half months, I planned to add to those article which are seldom edited by others. Those included the Nawabs of Bengal & Murshidabad, articles related to it and soap opera articles. Soap operas are ongoing so I have to edit them daily but the article on the Nawabs is a piece of history...and I took up the work alone. Later, in May some editors helped me to fix typos and grammatical errors, but soon withdrew back their help. But, by God's grace I finished with the work today on 4 August 2012 and would love to share this success with you! My condition was same as the flying man in the pic, trying to catch a several things at the same time before it's too late. I don't know whether he succeeds or not, bu I did succeed! However, I still have to add some references and summarize the plots of soap opera articles in the soap opera articles. If you want, then you can help. Thank you for all who helped me all these days...thank you again! -- Tamravidhir( ২০১২) 11:30, 4 August 2012 (UTC) |

Greetings Deryck, I have a problem with your entry in the [2] section. It is very much an opinion piece with very little objectivity/encyclopedic knowledge. I cannot edit the page as it is semi-protected for some strange reason. Not being a Wikipedia fundi, but simply a web developer who strongly disagrees with your writing style, I do not have time to figure out how to overcome your 'editing block' on the page, but I strongly suggest you fix it, as young people starting out will get entirely the wrong impression of web typography for one. Particularly appalling is your use of grammar and the fact that there is at least one glaringly obvious spelling mistake. Don't know when this was written, but apart from the fact that you are misinformed, web typography has evolved radically recently and apart from the fact that your opinions on the subject are outdated, they are downright dangerously wrong. Regards. Galen777 ( talk) 16:26, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
I recently nominated Nawabs of Bengal & Murshidabad for GA but the review has still not started. We still have time. I would like you to edit the article and drive it to the path of GA. Please help me, it will be so kind of you. It will also add one number to the total number of GA article Wikipedia has. Please help me! If replying please leave me a talk-back template. I have asked some other editors for the same. Thank you ! Tamravidhir( ২০১২) 12:48, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm impressed with your awareness of WP:BOLD but you should really use the WP:RM process to conduct controversial moves.

Hi Deryck,
I've put a geonotice request up for two upcoming events in London - I know you've more experience of geonotices than I do, so would it be possible for you to have a quick look at them and see if there's any more information needed before they can go live?
Many thanks, and I hope you can make it down from Cambridge for them - it'd be great to see you there! Andrew Gray ( talk) 11:12, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Like this one for example if you reverted User Liang_Pengyuan's move, then a revert of this would be a good candidate. We shouldn't all really have to go through this rigmarole every time someone undiscussed-moves and locks a redirect should we?

Hello Deryck, I see you deleted 2012 in UFC events, I am just wondering if the talk page should have been deleted, there was a lot of discussion there as to the merits of the article and attempts to build (and not build) consensus. There are quite a few archives for that page in particular, I think the talk page should probably be restored (unless there is nothing really on it), and perhaps the article title left as a redirect. Thoughts? -- kelapstick( bainuu) 23:45, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I was using the 2012 in UFC events and Future UFC Events in 2012 pages regularly, and there did not appear to be any sort of notice banner on the top of either page that they were under threat of deletion, or else I would have certainly weighed in. Not all of those events had sub articles either still in the wake of the mass-deletion effort earlier in the year. I really think it's unfair to the people who actually used those pages not to make the fact that those pages were under threat of deletion with a banner. The new page replacing it is comparatively worthless and has far less information. Beansy ( talk) 03:54, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for closing the AfD. I do have a question though. I see that the previous history of the redirect that was left from the article that was deleted and made into a redirect (unilaterally I might add) to the 2012 Obama campaign article has been deleted, per G6. I am wondering if that can be undeleted, and the history merged into the current history. I would like to give some WikiLove to that article creator, and cannot find a link to that editor.

I am a bit concerned at your closing statement that If many editors from various backgrounds all prefer to use the "notability" argument to trump over the "not news" argument, then it is the latter guideline that needs changing. WP:NOTNEWS, a part of WP:NOT is Wikipedia policy, not a guideline. WP:N is a guideline. When a policy and guideline come into conflict, the policy trumps the guideline, see WP:POLCON. Do you think that the article in question failed WP:NOTNEWS? Then it should be deleted, no matter how many people say "it's notable". nableezy - 13:42, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
