Hello Diannaa, You recently deleted our page for North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NABCEP
I am hoping to open a dialogue here with you to get this figured out quickly without bothering you too much. This is our first Wikipedia entry so please forgive our mistakes. We have read the various pages cited about copyrights and so on, and we would like to do whatever is needed to clear it up. Here's a little background. NABCEP is a client of our agency, The Strategic Word, and we submitted this entry on their behalf. Do you need to see something from NABCEP that authorizes us to make this submission? And, even after reading the copyright guidelines, I'm unclear on why NABCEP itself would be violating their own copyright by referencing their own copyrighted materials on their Wiki page. Sorry if I'm missing something here, as I must be!
Since we need to get this Wikipedia page up as soon as possible for our client, we have deleted the footnote reference to the copyrighted document that lead to the the quick deletion, as you can see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jerrysena/NABCEP#About_NABCEP
Is this sufficient to get the page up for now? Then we can deal with whatever we need to do to make it ok to post a link to the NABCEP copyrighted document.
Also, we mistakenly submitted this entry under the organization's acronym, NABCEP, when we meant to have the title be their full name, North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners. Is it possible to get this fixed at the same time we get the new page up sans the offending PDF link? If so, can we get 'NABCEP' Wiki searches redirected to the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners Wiki page?
Thanks for your help on this, Diannaa, much appreciated.

Thank you for copy-editing National Treasures of Japan. I assume that you are done with it, correct? Do you think that it would have a chance at FAC? bamse ( talk) 02:26, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa, Thx for the thorough response. I would like to take this another step or two, as I believe that we can satisfy your concerns with a little more work on our part. The three areas of concern:
1. Copyright
We can certainly rewrite the offending paragraph now that we understand how the whole copyright issue works. I hope this will work for now (assuming we can satisfy you on all three of these issues) while we work to get the requisite special licensing permissions in place.
2. Notability While of course I cannot be certain, this being our first submission, I have little doubt that NABCEP is 'notable' enough to be included in Wikipedia. NABCEP is the primary certifying entity for renewable energy installers and sales people and is highly valued in this rapidly growing industry. As a mark of its importance and validity, the NABCEP certification is accredited by American National Standards Institute (ANSI). It functions much like these organizations, all of which are in Wiki:
American Academy of Financial Management Association of Chartered Certified Accountants American Institute of Certified Public Accountants American Academy of Environmental Engineers
We can supply you with links to numerous articles in "reliable third party sources such as newpapers, magazines, or online publishers" that mention and discuss NABCEP, and are happy to do so.
3. Conflict of interest I do see now that our relationship to NABCEP would 'red flag' us as potentially being in conflict, but it does look like this is not an iron clad rule, though it is 'discouraged'. We are professional writers, in fact the person who wrote this is a journalist by trade, and we were very careful to make sure our description was neutral, as I believe you would agree it does, in fact, read. If you see any areas that strike you as not neutral, we are happy to change them.
What do you think? I appreciate the extra time you've taken with us here.

The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) is a nationally recognized credentialing body formed to set competency standards for professional practitioners in the fields of renewable and sustainable energy. Practitioners who choose to become certified must demonstrate their competence in the field and their commitment to upholding high standards of ethical and professional practice.
And now I quote from the pdf file:
NABCEP is a nationally recognized credentialing body formed to set competency standards for professional practitioners in the fields of renewable and sustainable energy. Practitioners who choose to become certified must demonstrate their competence in the field and their commitment to upholding high standards of ethical and professional practice.
The two are identical; every part of the article at User:Jerrysena/NABCEP appears in an almost identical form at http://www.nabcep.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/Central-CIH-7.30.10-rev2.01.pdf. The article would have to be completely re-written.
The second question, notability, is answered here: Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Please read these guidelines carefully and you will see that the organsiation does not meet the notability guidelines as Wikipedia defines them; the organisation may be important but it has not to date attracted notice from reliable sources such as newspapers and magazines. I am posting a question at the Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard to get other opinions on the notability question. However a decision made at that notice board is not a guarantee that the article will be accepted. Decision making is communal, and it is not up to me either.
Here is some more information about conflict of interest: Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations. I personally don't think the COI problem is a big obstacle either, as the material does not seem promotional in tone. But the other two questions are still obstacles. That's it for now; I have to go to my "day job". -- Diannaa ( Talk) 14:00, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Doubtless you’re pretty busy these days, but I’d appreciate it if you could take a glance at my first effort of the backlog-elimination drive, Flag of Iran, and let me know if it’s not up to snuff (aside from the tagged OR / lack of references). I’m not very familiar with the ins & outs of citations: the “Content” section near the end puzzled me, but I left it in for fear of breaking some kind of link functionality. If you could point me somewhere that explains what’s going on there (and how to sort it out) I’d be grateful. And if it’s not too much trouble, please check to make sure I’ve also filled out my drive-contribution template properly in the Totals. Thanks in advance, and BTW congrats re the “mop”. — Odysseus1479 ( talk) 10:16, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Diannaa, can we get the current NABCEP Wiki page taken down till we get this resolved?

It's rather embarrassing for all of us to have that there when people search for NABCEP. Is there any reason it has to remain up?

I have been working on Samba for a lot of the day as part of the GoCE drive this month, and I found it was terrible. I am not certain whether it is actually cleaned up now or if that is just by comparison with what it was. So would you mind taking a quick look over it and telling me if it still has problems? (I did tag a few spots with {{clarify}} when I had no clue what the article was trying to say.) Thanks! Reaper Eternal ( talk) 22:46, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Diannaa,
OK, I see what's happening. I kept seeing the 'this page has been deleted' page, but I see now that's because I've been logged in. When I am not logged in and search for NABCEP, that info is not there. So all is well on that front. (Isn't it fun dealing with newbies? :-)
Not quite sure why you say NABCEP "has not to date attracted notice from reliable sources such as newspapers and magazines". It has received fairly extensive coverage in the renewable energy trade press. Maybe this does not count? Shall I send you a few links?
And as I said before, it will be easy to rewrite the parts that are too similar to the NABCEP-copyrighted material, now that we know that's a no-no.
Thanks again for your time, Diannaa.

Merry meet, Diannaa! I offered to do a copyedit on am article from the Request Page, El Salvador national football team. It is a difficult article to copyedit, as it appears that the editors are not native English speakers. I spent a good deal of time on this article, even creating tables, but when I was checking for more information to clarify an unintelligible sentence, I noticed a copyright violation. I halted the copyedit and flagged an Admin. My question is, how do I count this article in my numbers? Thanks!! jsfouche ☽☾ talk 05:24, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

I disagree with your semiprotection. There were two parties to the edit wars, and the semiprotection just blocked one of them from editing. I understand the reasons for doing it, however the accusations of coatracking have only really been pushed by one editor (the other party), and were disputed by other editors who commented in Ani. As such I recommend either unprotecting it or moving back to the version before the edit war and full protecting. Thanks, Chipmunkdavis ( talk) 05:12, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Diannaa. Apologize for issues with other user. Person was weaving in one-off gossip rather than actual, valuable information regarding RP. For instance, "Rabbi to the stars" thing is established. He has seen LeBron James, etc. Comments added by 68.173.122.113 about RP only caring about "biggest contributor" is libelous and, given comments by 68.173.122.113, prejudiced (he has made offensive comments regarding those of the Jewish faith). Appreciate your help in resolving these matters. Thanks! -- Photodeck
And to interject here everything cited in fact comes from sources that photodesk introduced. For example, he didnt simply see Lebron James, James paid him. There are countless media articles (in fact more than about his work) citing his involvement in an ugly fight with an individual in a mysterious death. Why remove them ? (and what "curse" thing or $30MM building thing ?) What makes those things ? And yes a price for a place of religious worship usually isnt mentioned... and thats because it may be the most expensive synagogue in NYC or the world. Thats relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.122.113 ( talk) 11:13, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Deanna why do you say that $30MM isnt accurate ? Its well sourced repeatedly ? Where is it ok for said sockpuppet to make edits without discussions ? and he's inaccurate factually - 3 articles mention the curse including the slam article ?

Hi there. First I wanted to apologize for essentially throwing away your copy-edit of the McClurg article. But I thought it was necessary, because the starting point was really bad.

Hi Diannaa,
I see that you recently deleted the image "ellekennedy.jpg" because of copyright concerns. I actually took that picture myself (I am Elle Kennedy's assistant and webmaster) and so the copyright belongs to me.
I'd like to re-upload the picture, and I am wondering if there is something I can do to "prove" that I have the copyright? Sorry for this confusion, I am new to wikipedia.

Hi, I am confused as to what to do about my copyedit of Summer of the Monkeys. Soon after my copyedit was completed, another editor reverted my copyedits (by reinstating the old version) and re-added the {{copyedit}} template. I want to fix the obvious issues in the article (one being "in the late 1800s, just before 1900," - redundant, should be "in the very late 1800s") and the use of informal contractions. However, I have no desire to become involved in an edit war by reverting his edits. Reaper Eternal ( talk) 02:40, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
Backlog Elimination Drive!
![]()
We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{ cleanup}}, {{ wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

Diannaa, I am in the process of sending an e-mail for proper release to wikipedia. The form provided asks for the URL of the page. Is it okay to use Tertian Harmony and Chord Manual? I had plans to use subpages but was not sure how they would work "live". I would prefer to retain the same title for the article before deletion. Prophet of the Most High ( talk) 22:25, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
I've sent the e-mail. I cannot do any of the subpage things, inclusive to redirects for easy around reading, until that goes through. I'll watch for any predilection to improvement as regards music theory. Thank You. Prophet of the Most High ( talk) 02:55, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
I have two other questions. I am not an administrator, but I am curious if you, as an administrator, have received any specific private messages not viewable to base level volunteers from wikipedia concerning difficulties with server space and a directive to deny as many articles as possible due to such difficulties?
In the course of discussion with RHaworth, who originally placed the speedy deletion nomination notification on "Tertian Harmony and Chord Manual", he is showing signs of emotional and mental breakdown based on prior personal difficulties in his early editing at wikipedia, and quite possibly due to overwork as well. User talk:RHaworth#Tertian Harmony and Chord Manual
You seem to me to be more stable in your favorability to include the originally posted article. Other than the fact that you saw the speedy deletion nomination notification, was(were) there any other reason(s) for your deleting the article? - Prophet of the Most High ( talk) 01:30, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
You state that you verified that the information was indeed a copyright violation in total defiance of me donating the article to wikipedia as a volunteer without any copyright violation. I am not suing wikipedia, you, or RHaworth. I have further complied with the consent, but have shown the fallacy of the judgment based on that reason.
It is true that the Tertian Harmony and Chord Manual resembles a how to guide. Firstly, as can be seen in the word "Manual", 'man you all', it is something for everyone, this is deliberate because music has been called a universal language. At the level of inception to an on-line encyclopedia where the dissemination of the manual can be translated into all other languages, the writing needs to be inclusive to such a broad comprehension. Similarly, Tertian Harmony is only understood with full comprehension of all elements from root to 13th. Music notation has a limited alphabet, A through G. Though this may seem to make matters a little easier, their remains the necessity to present the 'how and why' such a limited alphabet works best, and to do so in a concise and orderly manner.
It can be seen in the English language that the development of Tertian Harmony has come as a direct response from God to a direct humility in prayer and reverence for Him by the devout of humankind. If there is to be any enjoyment of this delight, there is an equal necessity for us to remain steadfast in that same humility, reverence, and devotion. This seems to me to be the most important point - a gift for the future based on the excellence of the past.
In the formulation, not speculation, of the health issue as presented, it is due course in deriving the true reason for deletion. Unlike the Fifth Pillar of wikipedia which states that "Wikipedia does not have firm rules.", Tertain Harmony does have firm rules. It is understandable that such an 'etching in stone' may seem cold, but it is not meant to be.
If you support an error from another once, it is understandable that you will support an error again. The secular reason is only valid if we violate the First Pillar, which I am not willing to do as it allows for the inclusion of Tertian Harmony and Chord Manual as is. The article was given to you and RHaworth to share with everyone in abidance with the Third Pillar. This was not an invitation for either of you to violate the Fourth Pillar.
The inclusion of "all of your contributions can and will be mercilessly edited and redistributed" is the worst part of the Pillars in that the realm of possibility excludes such a blanket statement and that "in giving we receive". It is also disadvantageous to the community for one to think that conditions cannot improve. You state that your opinion is not important yet I treat it so. You state that you are not the decider yet you deleted the article. You state that decisions are made communally yet I did not authorize its deletion. I find you lacking in self-esteem which has caused you to do something you probably would not have normally done if this were not so. As your decision follows in the trail of another suffering under a poorly written Pillar, I understand and forgive you. As to the advice from both of you concerning its re-write and/or re-submission, that too follows under the same error of judgment.
It would be a waste of server space for me to continue with you without your support to the rest of the community, not only the wikipedia community, but the entire reading public. I understand that being an administrator carries with it further responsibility, but you are first and foremost an editor, and it is on your integrity as such that we rely. - Prophet of the Most High ( talk) 14:39, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
I would strongly suggest that you undelete the page at once, before the whole unsavoury business escelates into major drama once more. I'm sure it was an unwitting error on your part. Giacomo 23:32, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, the reason the page was deleted is because it was an unambiguous copyright violation from http://www.incadat.com/index.cfm?act=text.textpage&tpid=2&lng=1 which is marked at the bottom as being Copyright © HCCH. The page as it existed at the time of deletion was identical to that page so you are free to use it, if you wish, as source material for an article written in your own words. Sorry the reply could not be more favourable. -- Diannaa ( Talk) 00:16, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I believe that one of the people is an alumni. I currently cannot remember which person, I and quick search did not recover any website references. I therefore added both. The reason I actually entered these people is because I am an alumno of the school, and I heard from another person from the school that one of the people ( Gina Riley or Jane Turner) is also an alumni. I do believe that one option would be true. I will get back to you on any sort of reference that I can find.

Diannaa, On 16 November you reverted an edit to Russian cursive which had added links to YouTube [1]. The same sort of edit had already been reverted on 7 August by a bot. The same edit was done again on 17 November, and I undid that one, following your lead but not really sure that it was the right thing to do. The same edit was done again on 18 November, reverted by a bot, and done immediately again. The same pattern of editing has started on Cyrillic alphabet - edit, revert by by bot, edit again - on 17 November.
I am new to this sort of thing.

Hi My account had trolls on it a couple months ago and was summarily indefinitely blocked without much discussion. But I digress, I've been editing on this address and others so I'd like to get back to actually doing things at Wikipedia, if possible, and I don't see why I can't do it with my old username, which is still in existence. I've contacted several other "admins" but they haven't really gotten back to me, most seem to have disappeared over the summer for various reasons, including my original blocker. Anything you could do would be amazingly helpful. Thank you, 96.50.86.207 ( talk) 05:14, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand what was wrong with 'Label M' it was simply a link to 'Joel Dorn' thus providing more information. No references were provided because this information was gleaned over a period of time from various sources which are no longer on line. It is all true and I am quite informed on the subject and collect the out of print cds concerned. There is no other information on line and now there still isn't. I have also added info to the page 32Jazz, on the same basis. Maybe no one else is interested but if so, why provide the links from 'Joel Dorn' article ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Donald obtains ( talk • contribs) 12:32, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi fellow editor, thanks for intervening in article Arora and particularly with an editor there who has an unco-operative attitude there. I have tried to tag references for discussion, but I fear my editing their may inflame this user more. I think there is an element of racial bias by this editor as can be seen from the comments made here. I have no intention of engaging in edit wars as some unscrupulous editors have WP:Game 'd the system in past and got me blocked. I have a real problem with many of the India based articles as a lot of the content is "junk" and not encyclopaedic. Jat people is one good example of "junk". Anyway, best of luck, in removing some of the nonsense. Thanks -- Sikh-History 11:42, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
not sure if this is rude jumping in here! but I asked User:Sikh-history to discuss 3 times here and even wrote on his talk page User_talk:Sikh-history regarding the issue he had an problem with! and I also asked to him to Discuss the topic on the Discussion page of Arora(he did none)only threatened to block me again and again. I don't see how this has anything to do with racial bias..and if it is I have not brought up the issue as you can see here User_talk:Dbachmann . Just to point out I have added more then 5-6 new citations since I started editing the Arora page before there were not to many before for such a big page.I am infact trying to improving the article unlike User:Sikh-history who has not contributed anything to the article.

Greetings GOCE Backlog elimination drive participant, We are now coming up to the last few days of the drive, the last for 2010. Currently, it looks like we will achieve our target for reducing the backlog by 10%, however, we still have huge numbers for 2009. We have 55 participants in this drive. If everyone just clears 2 articles each, we will reduce the backlog by a further 110 articles. If everyone can just do 3 articles, we will hit 165. If you have yet to work on any articles and have rollover words, remember that you do need to copyedit at least a couple of articles in this drive for your previous rollover to be valid for the next drive. There are many very small articles that will take less than 5-10 minutes to copyedit. Use CatScan to find them. Let's all concentrate our firepower on the first three months of 2009 as we approach the end of this final drive for the year. Thank you once again for participating, and see you at the finish line! – SMasters ( talk) 04:08, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

And beyond this, if not relevant, perhaps you can show me another synagogue purchase at this high a price ? Its very relevant, particularily for someone who charges Lebron James ? There arent synagogues this expensive in NYC, and certainly not for people who dont speak any English at his young age ?

Hello Diannaa, You recently deleted our page for North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NABCEP
I am hoping to open a dialogue here with you to get this figured out quickly without bothering you too much. This is our first Wikipedia entry so please forgive our mistakes. We have read the various pages cited about copyrights and so on, and we would like to do whatever is needed to clear it up. Here's a little background. NABCEP is a client of our agency, The Strategic Word, and we submitted this entry on their behalf. Do you need to see something from NABCEP that authorizes us to make this submission? And, even after reading the copyright guidelines, I'm unclear on why NABCEP itself would be violating their own copyright by referencing their own copyrighted materials on their Wiki page. Sorry if I'm missing something here, as I must be!
Since we need to get this Wikipedia page up as soon as possible for our client, we have deleted the footnote reference to the copyrighted document that lead to the the quick deletion, as you can see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jerrysena/NABCEP#About_NABCEP
Is this sufficient to get the page up for now? Then we can deal with whatever we need to do to make it ok to post a link to the NABCEP copyrighted document.
Also, we mistakenly submitted this entry under the organization's acronym, NABCEP, when we meant to have the title be their full name, North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners. Is it possible to get this fixed at the same time we get the new page up sans the offending PDF link? If so, can we get 'NABCEP' Wiki searches redirected to the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners Wiki page?
Thanks for your help on this, Diannaa, much appreciated.

Hello Diannaa, Thx for the thorough response. I would like to take this another step or two, as I believe that we can satisfy your concerns with a little more work on our part. The three areas of concern:
1. Copyright
We can certainly rewrite the offending paragraph now that we understand how the whole copyright issue works. I hope this will work for now (assuming we can satisfy you on all three of these issues) while we work to get the requisite special licensing permissions in place.
2. Notability While of course I cannot be certain, this being our first submission, I have little doubt that NABCEP is 'notable' enough to be included in Wikipedia. NABCEP is the primary certifying entity for renewable energy installers and sales people and is highly valued in this rapidly growing industry. As a mark of its importance and validity, the NABCEP certification is accredited by American National Standards Institute (ANSI). It functions much like these organizations, all of which are in Wiki:
American Academy of Financial Management Association of Chartered Certified Accountants American Institute of Certified Public Accountants American Academy of Environmental Engineers
We can supply you with links to numerous articles in "reliable third party sources such as newpapers, magazines, or online publishers" that mention and discuss NABCEP, and are happy to do so.
3. Conflict of interest I do see now that our relationship to NABCEP would 'red flag' us as potentially being in conflict, but it does look like this is not an iron clad rule, though it is 'discouraged'. We are professional writers, in fact the person who wrote this is a journalist by trade, and we were very careful to make sure our description was neutral, as I believe you would agree it does, in fact, read. If you see any areas that strike you as not neutral, we are happy to change them.
What do you think? I appreciate the extra time you've taken with us here.

Jerrysena ( talk) 07:13, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) is a nationally recognized credentialing body formed to set competency standards for professional practitioners in the fields of renewable and sustainable energy. Practitioners who choose to become certified must demonstrate their competence in the field and their commitment to upholding high standards of ethical and professional practice.
And now I quote from the pdf file:
NABCEP is a nationally recognized credentialing body formed to set competency standards for professional practitioners in the fields of renewable and sustainable energy. Practitioners who choose to become certified must demonstrate their competence in the field and their commitment to upholding high standards of ethical and professional practice.
The two are identical; every part of the article at User:Jerrysena/NABCEP appears in an almost identical form at http://www.nabcep.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/Central-CIH-7.30.10-rev2.01.pdf. The article would have to be completely re-written.
The second question, notability, is answered here: Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Please read these guidelines carefully and you will see that the organsiation does not meet the notability guidelines as Wikipedia defines them; the organisation may be important but it has not to date attracted notice from reliable sources such as newspapers and magazines. I am posting a question at the Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard to get other opinions on the notability question. However a decision made at that notice board is not a guarantee that the article will be accepted. Decision making is communal, and it is not up to me either.
Here is some more information about conflict of interest: Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations. I personally don't think the COI problem is a big obstacle either, as the material does not seem promotional in tone. But the other two questions are still obstacles. That's it for now; I have to go to my "day job". -- Diannaa ( Talk) 14:00, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Doubtless you’re pretty busy these days, but I’d appreciate it if you could take a glance at my first effort of the backlog-elimination drive, Flag of Iran, and let me know if it’s not up to snuff (aside from the tagged OR / lack of references). I’m not very familiar with the ins & outs of citations: the “Content” section near the end puzzled me, but I left it in for fear of breaking some kind of link functionality. If you could point me somewhere that explains what’s going on there (and how to sort it out) I’d be grateful. And if it’s not too much trouble, please check to make sure I’ve also filled out my drive-contribution template properly in the Totals.

I have been working on Samba for a lot of the day as part of the GoCE drive this month, and I found it was terrible. I am not certain whether it is actually cleaned up now or if that is just by comparison with what it was. So would you mind taking a quick look over it and telling me if it still has problems? (I did tag a few spots with {{clarify}} when I had no clue what the article was trying to say.) Thanks! Reaper Eternal ( talk) 22:46, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Diannaa,
OK, I see what's happening. I kept seeing the 'this page has been deleted' page, but I see now that's because I've been logged in. When I am not logged in and search for NABCEP, that info is not there. So all is well on that front. (Isn't it fun dealing with newbies? :-)
Not quite sure why you say NABCEP "has not to date attracted notice from reliable sources such as newspapers and magazines". It has received fairly extensive coverage in the renewable energy trade press. Maybe this does not count? Shall I send you a few links?
And as I said before, it will be easy to rewrite the parts that are too similar to the NABCEP-copyrighted material, now that we know that's a no-no.
Thanks again for your time, Diannaa.

Why don't you try the pp-semi template like this: {{pp-semi|small=yes}}? WAYNE OLAJUWON 19:22, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, I see that you deleted this with the reason "one author who has requested deletion or blanked the page". I am the author of the article as it stood before deletion, having rewritten it to avoid a copyright violation, and I certainly did not request deletion. Also the subject clearly passes WP:POLITICIAN as a member of a national legislature. Phil Bridger ( talk) 20:23, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

I disagree with your semiprotection. There were two parties to the edit wars, and the semiprotection just blocked one of them from editing. I understand the reasons for doing it, however the accusations of coatracking have only really been pushed by one editor (the other party), and were disputed by other editors who commented in Ani. As such I recommend either unprotecting it or moving back to the version before the edit war and full protecting. Thanks, Chipmunkdavis ( talk) 05:12, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

So, I have a question about the November drive. If we edit an article from the Requests Page, I know it's worth double word count, but do we add the double word count into our grand total word count? Like instead of adding 1000 to our grand total, we add 2000? Please let me know as soon as you can. Thanks!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chickie4 ( talk • contribs) 01:06, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
Do you not read explanation in edit summary? After you change first time I change back and write explanation. Why so many keep change again but not read explanation? I am not strong English but I think explanation well - please read!
Hi i was only saying sorry i dont understand how i vandalised sommeones page by saying sorry is it not the user talk page like this you're meant to say sorry? Thanks :)

Sure, it's under my "Contributions": Basically everything that I've copyedited since Nov. 1 has been for the drive. On a related note, how do I make a tag to show that I'm working on a piece?

Hello, Diannaa. Apologize for issues with other user. Person was weaving in one-off gossip rather than actual, valuable information regarding RP. For instance, "Rabbi to the stars" thing is established. He has seen LeBron James, etc. Comments added by 68.173.122.113 about RP only caring about "biggest contributor" is libelous and, given comments by 68.173.122.113, prejudiced (he has made offensive comments regarding those of the Jewish faith). Appreciate your help in resolving these matters. Thanks! -- Photodeck
And to interject here everything cited in fact comes from sources that photodesk introduced. For example, he didnt simply see Lebron James, James paid him. There are countless media articles (in fact more than about his work) citing his involvement in an ugly fight with an individual in a mysterious death. Why remove them ? (and what "curse" thing or $30MM building thing ?) What makes those things ? And yes a price for a place of religious worship usually isnt mentioned... and thats because it may be the most expensive synagogue in NYC or the world. Thats relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.122.113 ( talk) 11:13, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Deanna why do you say that $30MM isnt accurate ? Its well sourced repeatedly ? Where is it ok for said sockpuppet to make edits without discussions ? and he's inaccurate factually - 3 articles mention the curse including the slam article ?

Hi there. First I wanted to apologize for essentially throwing away your copy-edit of the McClurg article. But I thought it was necessary, because the starting point was really bad.

Hi Diannaa,
I see that you recently deleted the image "ellekennedy.jpg" because of copyright concerns. I actually took that picture myself (I am Elle Kennedy's assistant and webmaster) and so the copyright belongs to me.
I'd like to re-upload the picture, and I am wondering if there is something I can do to "prove" that I have the copyright? Sorry for this confusion, I am new to wikipedia.

Hi, I am confused as to what to do about my copyedit of Summer of the Monkeys. Soon after my copyedit was completed, another editor reverted my copyedits (by reinstating the old version) and re-added the {{copyedit}} template. I want to fix the obvious issues in the article (one being "in the late 1800s, just before 1900," - redundant, should be "in the very late 1800s") and the use of informal contractions. However, I have no desire to become involved in an edit war by reverting his edits. Reaper Eternal ( talk) 02:40, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
Backlog Elimination Drive!
![]()
We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{ cleanup}}, {{ wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

Diannaa, I am in the process of sending an e-mail for proper release to wikipedia. The form provided asks for the URL of the page. Is it okay to use Tertian Harmony and Chord Manual? I had plans to use subpages but was not sure how they would work "live". I would prefer to retain the same title for the article before deletion. Prophet of the Most High ( talk) 22:25, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
I've sent the e-mail. I cannot do any of the subpage things, inclusive to redirects for easy around reading, until that goes through. I'll watch for any predilection to improvement as regards music theory. Thank You. Prophet of the Most High ( talk) 02:55, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
I have two other questions. I am not an administrator, but I am curious if you, as an administrator, have received any specific private messages not viewable to base level volunteers from wikipedia concerning difficulties with server space and a directive to deny as many articles as possible due to such difficulties?
In the course of discussion with RHaworth, who originally placed the speedy deletion nomination notification on "Tertian Harmony and Chord Manual", he is showing signs of emotional and mental breakdown based on prior personal difficulties in his early editing at wikipedia, and quite possibly due to overwork as well. User talk:RHaworth#Tertian Harmony and Chord Manual
You seem to me to be more stable in your favorability to include the originally posted article. Other than the fact that you saw the speedy deletion nomination notification, was(were) there any other reason(s) for your deleting the article? - Prophet of the Most High ( talk) 01:30, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
You state that you verified that the information was indeed a copyright violation in total defiance of me donating the article to wikipedia as a volunteer without any copyright violation. I am not suing wikipedia, you, or RHaworth. I have further complied with the consent, but have shown the fallacy of the judgment based on that reason.
It is true that the Tertian Harmony and Chord Manual resembles a how to guide. Firstly, as can be seen in the word "Manual", 'man you all', it is something for everyone, this is deliberate because music has been called a universal language. At the level of inception to an on-line encyclopedia where the dissemination of the manual can be translated into all other languages, the writing needs to be inclusive to such a broad comprehension. Similarly, Tertian Harmony is only understood with full comprehension of all elements from root to 13th. Music notation has a limited alphabet, A through G. Though this may seem to make matters a little easier, their remains the necessity to present the 'how and why' such a limited alphabet works best, and to do so in a concise and orderly manner.
It can be seen in the English language that the development of Tertian Harmony has come as a direct response from God to a direct humility in prayer and reverence for Him by the devout of humankind. If there is to be any enjoyment of this delight, there is an equal necessity for us to remain steadfast in that same humility, reverence, and devotion. This seems to me to be the most important point - a gift for the future based on the excellence of the past.
In the formulation, not speculation, of the health issue as presented, it is due course in deriving the true reason for deletion. Unlike the Fifth Pillar of wikipedia which states that "Wikipedia does not have firm rules.", Tertain Harmony does have firm rules. It is understandable that such an 'etching in stone' may seem cold, but it is not meant to be.
If you support an error from another once, it is understandable that you will support an error again. The secular reason is only valid if we violate the First Pillar, which I am not willing to do as it allows for the inclusion of Tertian Harmony and Chord Manual as is. The article was given to you and RHaworth to share with everyone in abidance with the Third Pillar. This was not an invitation for either of you to violate the Fourth Pillar.
The inclusion of "all of your contributions can and will be mercilessly edited and redistributed" is the worst part of the Pillars in that the realm of possibility excludes such a blanket statement and that "in giving we receive". It is also disadvantageous to the community for one to think that conditions cannot improve. You state that your opinion is not important yet I treat it so. You state that you are not the decider yet you deleted the article. You state that decisions are made communally yet I did not authorize its deletion. I find you lacking in self-esteem which has caused you to do something you probably would not have normally done if this were not so. As your decision follows in the trail of another suffering under a poorly written Pillar, I understand and forgive you. As to the advice from both of you concerning its re-write and/or re-submission, that too follows under the same error of judgment.
It would be a waste of server space for me to continue with you without your support to the rest of the community, not only the wikipedia community, but the entire reading public. I understand that being an administrator carries with it further responsibility, but you are first and foremost an editor, and it is on your integrity as such that we rely. - Prophet of the Most High ( talk) 14:39, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
I would strongly suggest that you undelete the page at once, before the whole unsavoury business escelates into major drama once more. I'm sure it was an unwitting error on your part. Giacomo 23:32, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

You deleted a page I was working on and wasted my time as the text is now lost. Please take more care in deleting brand new articles by non-brand new editors.

Hi there, the reason the page was deleted is because it was an unambiguous copyright violation from http://www.incadat.com/index.cfm?act=text.textpage&tpid=2&lng=1 which is marked at the bottom as being Copyright © HCCH. The page as it existed at the time of deletion was identical to that page so you are free to use it, if you wish, as source material for an article written in your own words. Sorry the reply could not be more favourable. -- Diannaa ( Talk) 00:16, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I believe that one of the people is an alumni. I currently cannot remember which person, I and quick search did not recover any website references. I therefore added both. The reason I actually entered these people is because I am an alumno of the school, and I heard from another person from the school that one of the people ( Gina Riley or Jane Turner) is also an alumni. I do believe that one option would be true. I will get back to you on any sort of reference that I can find.

Diannaa, On 16 November you reverted an edit to Russian cursive which had added links to YouTube [1]. The same sort of edit had already been reverted on 7 August by a bot. The same edit was done again on 17 November, and I undid that one, following your lead but not really sure that it was the right thing to do. The same edit was done again on 18 November, reverted by a bot, and done immediately again. The same pattern of editing has started on Cyrillic alphabet - edit, revert by by bot, edit again - on 17 November.

Hi fellow editor, thanks for intervening in article Arora and particularly with an editor there who has an unco-operative attitude there. I have tried to tag references for discussion, but I fear my editing their may inflame this user more. I think there is an element of racial bias by this editor as can be seen from the comments made here. I have no intention of engaging in edit wars as some unscrupulous editors have WP:Game 'd the system in past and got me blocked. I have a real problem with many of the India based articles as a lot of the content is "junk" and not encyclopaedic. Jat people is one good example of "junk". Anyway, best of luck, in removing some of the nonsense. Thanks -- Sikh-History 11:42, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't see how this has anything to do with racial bias..and if it is I have not brought up the issue as you can see here User_talk:Dbachmann . Just to point out I have added more then 5-6 new citations since I started editing the Arora page before there were not to many before for such a big page.I am infact trying to improving the article unlike User:Sikh-history who has not contributed anything to the article.

Greetings GOCE Backlog elimination drive participant, We are now coming up to the last few days of the drive, the last for 2010. Currently, it looks like we will achieve our target for reducing the backlog by 10%, however, we still have huge numbers for 2009. We have 55 participants in this drive. If everyone just clears 2 articles each, we will reduce the backlog by a further 110 articles. If everyone can just do 3 articles, we will hit 165. If you have yet to work on any articles and have rollover words, remember that you do need to copyedit at least a couple of articles in this drive for your previous rollover to be valid for the next drive. There are many very small articles that will take less than 5-10 minutes to copyedit. Use CatScan to find them. Let's all concentrate our firepower on the first three months of 2009 as we approach the end of this final drive for the year. Thank you once again for participating, and see you at the finish line! – SMasters ( talk) 04:08, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure if you noticed here that you were the blocking admin, and you declined an unblock request of that same block... ( talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:32, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

NO i am talking abt the Hindu part, which i have already mentioned, you have reverted it many times pushing ur POV. Mdmday ( talk) 21:32, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

I did not state my comments on immigration, I gave examples and explained the causes of anti-immigrant belief. You have no right delete my hard work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.35.24 ( talk) 02:50, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
Don't let that IP on Opposition to immigration that you reverted bother you on what he is saying on that page saying that you delete other people's work, Diannaa. Don't worry about it. WAYNE OLAJUWON 02:57, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello, Diannaa. I thought adding spam was a form of vandalism. Cracked acorns ( talk) 05:03, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
PS. I was going to report
User:114.79.130.218 @AIV, but saw your comment. The user talk page is interesting.

Get ready. The December 2010 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive is about to begin. Prep your keyboards, as the drive aims to wikify over 2,000 articles this month. We're going to need all the firepower we can get, so please get your friends to join up as well. In case you didn't know, wikification is fairly simple: just add wiki markup, links, and similar ". Thanks for joining; we're looking forward to an exciting time this month! Regards, Ancient Apparition ( talk · contribs), Mono ( talk · contribs), Nolelover ( talk · contribs), and Sumsum2010 ( talk · contribs). |

ok thanks. ehmmm the writing "died" is not in the write places. Akuindo ( talk) 05:16, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
How does this look? WAYNE OLAJUWON 23:51, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
You should, and you should block the IP that attacked you a few moments ago indefinitely because he's only used for personal attacks. He may or may not be also evading his block, too. WAYNE OLAJUWON 01:18, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
It's hard to deal with this administrative pressure early as an administrator. As time goes by, you'll get used to being an administrator and learn how to deal with this pressure. WAYNE OLAJUWON 02:38, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you so much. Part of me thinks I'm completely mad to run for Arbcom, but a lot of people asked me to, following the stuff I've said recently, so I feel I have to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak. How's it going for you - sounds like you're getting a good handle on actually which buttons to press on the tools now - especially after the troubles we've both had with User:Justus Maximus:( Elen of the Roads ( talk) 12:00, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
I am happy to try and collaborate but said users dont reply. They post false information on talk pages and are all people who never before used Wiki except for these pages. I welcome your assistance (and as a note I created that page a year ago already)? Pls assist ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Babasalichai ( talk • contribs) 01:10, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
1st, thats not accurate, its not on Central Park West. Yes it is absolutely noteworthy, the NY Times noted it at length. $28.5 Million is very very relevant in today's economy, particularily for a NY synagogue where the Rabbi does not speak English ?
And beyond this, if not relevant, perhaps you can show me another synagogue purchase at this high a price ? Its very relevant, particularily for someone who charges Lebron James ? There arent synagogues this expensive in NYC, and certainly not for people who dont speak any English at his young age ?
Every source introduced is relevant and comes from articles you folks have posted as references on Pinto. They are relevant for a controversial religious figure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Babasalichai ( talk • contribs) 01:47, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Explain why you are deleting info which is sourced from sources you accept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Babasalichai ( talk • contribs) 01:50, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
As you are either a participant of WikiProject or the October wikification drive or have signed up to participate in the planned December drive, this probably concerns you. Discussions that have been inactive for a couple weeks regarding the December drive have been reactivated, and we would like you to participate in these discussions, and also consider joining the December drive. We have taken upon ourselves a massive workload, encompassing a backlog reaching June 2008 and comprising 0 articles. Barnstars will be awarded to participating editors, and also, please invite your friends to join! Please do not reply to this message here. Either reply here, here or here.

It just suddenly dawned on me that I was so busy defending you among the neutrals and nay-sayers that I completely forgot to put my own !vote on the top floor at your RfA! Never mind, you passed anyway :) -- Kudpung ( talk) 03:31, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Please stop reverting my changes. There was misleading information posted about me that was unsubstantiated. So I have replaced it with accurate information supported by links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.17.29.147 ( talk) 06:07, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, members of my marketing team have told me that you will not allow a page to be created because it is self promotion...? Sorry, not sure what I need to do to insure you that there is indeed a need for a wiki page. I can send you files, photos, videos to ensure that as an artist I am legitimate? Please advise how I can have the page reinstated. Thank you for your help. Kind regards, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.246.81.130 ( talk) 11:12, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Okay read. And I'm really sorry that my team has done this. I hired them for marketing purposes and they made the decison themselves that it should be included in Wikipedia. The reason that it's quite uncomfortable for me is because the wiki page appears very high in searches on google and when clicked on it says that it is banned. Could you help me with this? What can I do? --— Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.246.81.130 ( talk • contribs)
Thanks for being so polite and helpful —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.196.134.47 ( talk) 22:54, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
If you would like me to somehow confirm that I am the subject of the article that you keep reverting, I am more than happy to do so. The article that was up was FALSE and LIBELOUS and all I have done is replace it with accurate information that is completely supported by my links. I don't know why you are so passionate about the article that was up originally but I have REPEATEDLY noted that it is false and misleading and misattributed. PLEASE STOP messing with my edits. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with them until someone actually disputes the information which NO ONE HAS and NO ONE WILL. Thank you. 99.17.29.147 ( talk) 16:34, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
