I'm glad to see you are keeping up on this article. I've done so much work on it in the past, I needed to take a break. It's a lot of work for a band I can't stand to listen to, but the article was just so bad when I found it UGH. I heartily approve of most the edits you have been doing, and have made many of the same ones in the past. I would ask if you might reconsider adding back the line with information and reference to Jeffree Star? It gives the band their gay "street cred," for whatever that's worth. Of their early performances, it was one of the more influential; at least I saw it mentioned it frequently in their early write-ups in Albuquerque. I agree with burning the rest of the name droppage. -- Oliver Twisted (Talk) (Stuff) 22:37, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

At User_talk:Sitush#Kshatriya_page the contributor KhatriNYC3 has said that they have registered that account because they forgot their old one, which they subsequently confirmed to have been KhatriNYC after I did a bit of digging around.
The earlier account was not lacking in drama. I am aware of WP:MULTIPLE and of the various userboxes etc that exist for declarations of alternate and previous accounts. However, the past drama concerns me slightly and I am wondering whether there should be an insistence that the original account is used. This might be problematic, of course, if what had been forgotten was the password and they have, for example, subsequently changed email address or whatever the password reminder system uses.
Not having come across a situation like this before, I would appreciate some input. - Sitush ( talk) 21:20, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

You have informed me that I'm doing something wrong, and I honestly don't know what it is.
71.250.144.60, the user I have reported, has made unsourced, false edits to the same information, and the edits have been reverted every time. I understand that admins may not be familiar with the information being edited, but the people posting to those pages are. This user is deliberately adding false information. Plus, the user has been warned and blocked for these same actions in the past. I don't understand why this time should be any different.
This is from the WP:VANDAL page, which you instructed me to read (and which I have read many times before): "Upon their discovery, revert clearly vandalizing edits. Then warn the vandalizing editor. Notify administrators of vandalizing users who persist despite warnings, and administrators should intervene to protect content and prevent further disruption by blocking such users from editing." This is what I and other users of the pages in question have done. So I honestly would like to know what I should be doing differently. Natalie47 ( talk) 01:26, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

I've been trying to reduce the back log at Category:Uncategorized pages, and I've discovered that how we name Tamil districts is very inconsistent between articles and categories. It seems the articles are typically at Name district, but the cats at Name District. Even worse, the spellings don't match. Thus we have Tiruppur district in Category:Tirupur District, and Tiruvannamalai district in Category: Thiruvannaamalai District.

I tried in vain to talk to him, in English, in Romanian, with no use, because he never returned my messages. At some point, you lose your patience. Of course, it won't appear in his contribs, because that was before I asked for protection for Vaslui page, when he edited without having an account; and he also had a dynamic IP, so it changed each day. He was warned (not by me), there were many attempts to talk to him, all in vain. And just to be clear, I didn't make any threat about blocking him, because I do not have this kind of power.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Jane McCrea. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
In particular, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. Your persistent reversals indicate a failure to abide by consensus. Please refrain and refer to discussion on the article talk page and on WP:ELN. Graeme374 ( talk) 03:01, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Well, now you've changed your criteria from verifiability to notability. I don't think you get to say that an entire section is not notable. If you think Abramoff's Brandeis hat is not notable, that sounds right: go ahead and delete it and I doubt anyone will revert. But wholesale deletion without explanation, without the slightest indication why you find every single reference in the section not notable, is less obviously justifiable. I am reverting one last time -- I suggest that if you disagree we put it to a vote. Nightspore ( talk) 14:03, 10 September 2011 (UTC)Nightspore

Please note that the vandalism was done to a page about a particular school in Trinidad and Tobago, and that the subsequent edit (also on 8/11) was done to List of schools in Trinidad and Tobago.

Hi Drmies, I just got your note about "edit warring" on Calvary Chapel. I do not believe you are justified in your assessment and placing a note on my page at all, much less on my page alone. If you really felt a note was necessary, I believe you should have identified the same on the other three editor's pages. But to this, que sera, sera.
COI/NPOV/et al: More importantly, looking over the talk page and the archives, it is my opinion (and the opinion of many other editors, as you will see) that the page suffers significant NPOV, COI, and other issues. The page is actively protected by a few editors, and any information that they wish to not have on the page is immediately removed, usually with no information placed on the talk page. I asked that (Wiki:multiple issues) or anything else be placed on the page, to provoke additional contributors to the Talk page, but the three Protectors actively removed it. Many other people have suggested improvements, especially in terms of critical information, and all of it is denied by the few Protectors.
Other editors notes: One of the many other contributors provided, "I'm concerned that the criticism section has been eviscerated down to 2½ lines, especially since there's an ongoing mediation case about the "Accusation of Cult Status" subsection, which Bluemoonlet removed." -- this was ignored by Bluemoonlet, the Protective contributor that presented me to your counsel. Another editor writes, "This white-washed POV..." when it came to protecting the happy faced POV presented by a few of the editors.
Archived matters that were never resolved: In one of the Archived matters that was never resolved, one of the writers presents that the article suffers COI in that :
When I presented these archived but unresolved issues to the Protectors, the information is discarded because they have a few "consensus editors" -- but those few are actively ignoring the other editors, and are actively preventing new editors from contributing (you can see this in the History and the Talk page).
I present this to you because you got yourself involved by writing on my page. Now I need your assistance. I am not familiar with the
Wikipedia:RFC process. I will read up on that. What am I supposed to present, though? That the page is actively protected by a few editors in support of Calvary Chapel?
Also, is there a way to put a banner on the page to alert new readers that they should look over the Talk page? Right now I read that the protective editors want to archive the talk page -- my attitude is, why? So new visitors don't see the history of problems on the page?

Hello Drmies, this is the user Mariah84. I just created a page for the band Folding Legs, who were previously Otterclan (they have had a wiki page under that name for a long time, that I created, and I want to add a page with their current name now). My page was just now deleted, and I received a note saying that I had violated copyright laws. In what way? It referred to the band's Facebook page. I am the leader of the band's fan group and own the rights to the photo I wanted to use (I took it). I also help run their Facebook page, as I am their direct link to their fans. I am not violating any copyright laws. Can I please have my page back as it was? It took me a while to design it. If not, can I at least get some tips on what to do so I can create one that stays up? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariah84 ( talk • contribs)
Hello again Drmies. I have been out of the apartment, but have roommates who are big fans of the band as well. I told them about the situation of the Wikipedia article I had tried to create before going out, and I can now see that they have been eager to get the site back up and running live (without knowing to check for your tips and comments before reposting the site). I'm very sorry about that, and understand that that must have come across as very obnoxious. It seems as if it is now impossible to work on the site at all. I assume that the salt you put on it has blocked it. I would feel horrible knowing that I all together ruined the chances for this band to get a Wikipedia article by someone, even if it wasn't me. If the band name is salted, that will make things really hard for someone who wants to write something about them. Me causing that would be the direct opposite of my initial intentions, which were to feature this band more. Is there anything I can do? Can the salt at least be lifted? I will not repeat the same mistakes again, and neither will my roommates. I hope you understand. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Mariah84 ( talk) 03:18, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry to hear that. I had copied the code for the Wikipedia page I had created into a separate Word document on my computer, as I'm not the best with formatting and thought that would save me time if the entire article got deleted and I needed to go back to square one. That way, I would at least have the article still there to reformat, instead of having to look up how to code everything again. All my roommates did was log in, with new accounts, and copy paste what I had saved in my Word document. Pretty simple. Don't underestimate the eagerness of an apartment full of girls who all want to see a page created for one and the same band. I thank you for your advice, however I will not be making any new attempts at creating this article, as I think it has become clear that I'm not the person for the job. Therefore, it saddens me that it now won't be possible for anyone else to do it either. Your decisions regarding the matter are however, of course, up to you. Have a nice day.

Drmies, you're generally a very reasonable and calm editor, but your comments at [4] make me think you either got up on the wrong side of the bed or that one of us is misunderstanding the conversation. I think DF is saying that checking the publisher's site to see if _they_ list reviews is a good move before heading to AfD. I certainly do that for game-related AfDs because most publishers like to brag about reviews. I don't think DF was arguing to cite the publisher's website. Rather that one should, ideally, check the publisher's website to see if there are (claimed to be) RSes out there. One of course then needs to confirm those sources are non-trivial, reliable, etc. I think that was DF's point at least. Hobit ( talk) 23:51, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi Drmies. I had posted a link to my website at http://www.jasonraize.net on the Wikipedia article for Jason Raize, an actor/singer and a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme who died in 2004. You had flagged my page as a fan site and removed the link. Yes, I am a fan who operates the site. However, with the exception of a handful of pages about site background, my site contains over 140 pages of detailed information about Jason's projects in theater, film, music, and goodwill work, all of which comes from sources which are credited.
I do not wish to violate Wikipedia policies and will not argue if my site cannot be listed. If the issue was that I listed the site myself, it is my error for not reviewing the conflict of interest policy for which I do apologize. I simply wish for Jason's fans to have a place to go for credible information should they wish to find out more beyond the brief biography on his Wikipedia page. I'm not competing with other "fan sites" for traffic: Jason's official website has been inactive (except for a brief message) since shortly after his death, and looking for "Jason Raize" on most search engines yields primarily articles about his death (which is the main reason why I seek to provide fans with more information about his life). If jasonraize.net is an allowable external link for people to visit to learn more about Jason Raize's life and career, I would very much appreciate being able to add my link back. Thank you for reviewing this request.

Hello Drmies,
If you have a couple of minutes to spare, I need the assistance of someone who speaks Dutch. I ran across Joseph Mulder in an AfD debate, and have expanded and referenced the article a bit. Before I got involved, the article consisted mostly of a scatological anecdote referenced to a 1718 Dutch source, which appears primary. Google Translate doesn't do a very good job - I suspect that the language is archaic. Can you take a look, please? Does this seem like a reliable source, and is the story described accurately? I've got a lot of doubts here, undue weight being among them. Also, I can't find any secondary sources discussing the incident. Your opinion would be appreciated. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:28, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi Drmies, If you have a moment, could you check this one for me? I noticed you'd made a couple of edits to The Well-Spoken Thesaurus, and this is connected. The creator of The Well-Spoken Thesaurus has also made a page for the author Tom Heehler. Tom's only claim for notablity is as the author of the Thesaurus book, which as far as I can tell doesn't meet wp:bio or wp:academic (The Well-spoken thesaurus is probably of marginal notability, but it does have 2 proper reviews). The creator of both articles is adamant that Tom's genius need be recognised - do you think it would be appropriate to change Tom's article to a redirect and then put the Thesaurus up for a deletion discussion? Or just create a redirect?? If you think anything should be done, could you (please..) make the change? If you check the Talk page of Tom Heeler, the creator is getting quite passionate (and I'm getting quite blunt). thanks! Clovis Sangrail ( talk) 06:20, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi Drmies, I do apologize for the sloppy work. I'm sure you noticed this was my first time...no dirty jokes please. Really should not have attempted to edit until reading Wikipedia procedures more thoroughly. Thankyou for not automatically deleting. Reading the history for this page it is clear there have been problems with previous contributions. The main issue is negative, one sided text with information primarily sourced from mainstream media. I have attempted to unravel some details by going to a variety of sources, but remain unhappy with my efforts. What I wish to achieve is a civilized approach to the subject so that other more knowledgable people might contribute (rather than ranting.) I will amend the shortcomings after reading up on procedures. Thankyou for note, it confirmed my own thoughts. Think I made it worse because I wanted to "fix" problems and went back repeatedly, and then I finally saw your note. Just call me a slow learner. Any sugestions you might have for this novice are welcome. Best regards. A fair go ( talk) 11:37, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

I do not understand how this system works - I hope this goes to Drmies -for me this way of communicating is non-intuitive. I have asked for an email correspondence which I know how to do but I will try to make this work. I tried to make reference to a blog and it was deemed illegal and never explained to me except with some boilerplated rule which said "People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible. " I don't see how I violated that prescription. I also tried to make reference to my book Understanding New Media and that was disallowed - again it was not explained to me. Finally the article talks about scholars who were influenced by McLuhan - I fall into that category so I added my name - this is a true statement - I have written half a dozen books based on my former collaboration with McLuhan and have been invited to speak all over the world on McLuhan. This is a fact. I do not see the bias. I do not think I broke any rules as you state that people with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject. I do not see any bias that I introduce by making references to a blog, my book and stating a fact. I am guily once of forgetting the 4 tilda rule but it was obvious I sent the edit and just forgot the 4 tildas. Please sort this out for me keeping in mind that I do suffer from a mild form of dislexia which I have over come for most media like email and writing books but I have not master wikipedia speak - for this I apologize - I meant no disrespect - to follow this conroversy see the record of edits at the article Marshalll McLuhan - Bob Logan Logan1939 ( talk) 00:39, 16 September 2011 (UTC)logan1939

I'm having a few issues with a particular editor, and I'm not entirely sure what the best approach is; I was wondering whether you could take a look. The issue is essentially this: said user generically dislikes list articles, preferring categories (despite long-standing consensus that the two are not mutually exclusive). To this end they nominated a bunch of the metal lists for deletion, although they subsequently admitted that they were looking for clean-up; examples are here, here and here. They also have a problem with artist nationality being recorded in llist articles (for example, this edit), although curiously they have no issue with date of formation being listed. The list articles were all kept following AfD, so their new tactic appears to be to delete everything without a source, which is fair enough if the editor has looked for sources themselves, but in this instance appears to be a pointed attempt to blank pages since they didn't get their own way at AfD. The latest, and most baffling altercation concerns the newly renamed (unilaterally by editor in question) list of Swedish death metal bands. Their unusual argument is that there is some huge distinction between a Swedish death metal band and a Swedish death metal band, although it is unclear where they have gleaned this distinction from. Nonetheless, I have done due diligence and found sources for everything on the list (initially Allmusic, although I have pointed said editor towards print sources (Daniel Ekeroth's Swedish Death Metal, Albert Mudrian's Improbable History, Terrorizer death metal specials etc.) but this particular chap is just removing all the sourced content (e.g this edit. A quick look at the talk page gives you a fairly clear idea of how they approach consensus-building; the "new inclusion criteria" have apparently been decided by him and him alone, and it far from clear exactly what they are. This kind of editing is essentially disruptive, but I'm not exacctly sure who to take the issue to... what do you reckon? Blackmetalbaz ( talk) 11:37, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure what "In terms of actual votes" means--is that 'as opposed to relative voting differences (in percentages?)' or so?
Note 3 for that sentence is to a Wikipedia article (which has no references), and if that article had references (like polling results or so) I don't see how it could make the general point about the narrow margin.
"Well" in "His philosophy was well described" is not entirely neutral. I suggest taking it out and instead making one or two points about what that philosophy entails, if it is important. Recasting the sentence to say something like "He supports curbside recycling and opposes the use of the internal combustion engine", with a reference to that article, might be an idea as well.
Notes 4 and 5 may need to be moved to follow "joining the Green Party"--I can't tell what note 5 verifies since the article doesn't pop up for me.
Also, the references need work--go ahead and use our citation templates, lest someone slap a linkrot tag on the article. I made a few minor copy edits--good luck with the rest! Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 16:46, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello Drmies,
I appreciate your feedback regarding my recent updates to Wikipedia. My goal with the recent updates is to try to ensure that Academy members, such as Willie Mays, are given the proper credit for their achievements and highlighting the fact that they are the recipients of the Academy's Golden Plate Award. In addition, I am finding that Academy member pages have direct quotes from interviews that we conducted with them over the years and thought the links to these unique and intimate interviews would provide some great insight into their lives and careers. By no means is it our intention to help optimize the search for our website (I know that they're not being followed). If the use of external links is prohibited in Wikipedia (and I can provide many examples of where they are being used for much less value that we are providing on our website), I will refrain from adding them. However, I don't understand why you removed the reference to Willie Mays receiving the Golden Plate Award. Is such an edit frowned upon as well? As side note, the founder of our non-profit organization took the most famous photographs of Willie Mays, which were on the cover of several issues of Sports Illustrated.
Further guidance would be greatly appreciated. Aaaeditor ( talk) 18:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. I recently reverted a crude edit to an infobox (if you want the boring details, an IP had tried to insert the name of the vice-captain of a national football team by simply typing it under the captain's name, as the infobox template for national football teams doesn't have a vice-captain slot), but I promised the user on his talkpage that I would look into getting the template adjusted to include a vice-captain slot. I've raised the issue on the template's discussion but no one seems interested in responding.

Obviously, they are new and clue-less regarding policies etc, especially with regard to sourcing, but I am not getting the message across. My fault, I am sure, although others seem also to have tried with regard to AfC issues. - Sitush ( talk) 11:48, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

For this bit of insight. [5] I was thinking almost exactly the same thing, particularly after reading "Brogrammers are typically well-groomed, physically fit, wearing shades, and are raging on code using one or multiple screens", which is perhaps one of the most banal sentences I've ever read on the project in five years. Sometimes the truth just feels nice to say, doesn't it? Trusilver 00:51, 8 October 2011 (UTC) |

If a merge proposal had little policy-compliant support and the proposer has formally withdrawn it, can anyone close it? I was involved in it & so it seems probably not to be a good idea, but if the thread is left open then it will just attract occasional comments for the next six months even though there really is no policy argument that can sustain support for it.

My dear Drmies,
I was about 21 hours into my Yom Kippur fast when I took a break and read your comment about the bounties of Dutch food on my smart phone. Though I know very little about your national cuisine, I imagined it in the hunger of the hours that remained of my fast. I had a visual input for my food fantasy as well, since Mrs. Cullen and I had gone to San Francisco to see "Dutch and Flemish Masterworks from the Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo Collection" in its final day before moving on to Houston. What a delight! One of the paintings was a table setting, a triumph of realism and symbolism. Each crease and fold in the table cloth was rendered perfectly, along with the cheese and the ham and a heavy wine glass or mug. There was a Chinese bowl filled with butter, teetering awkwardly, and a knife embellished with the artist's monogram leaning against the precarious arrangement. So that gave me something to think about in my hunger. My wife (who sends warm greetings) and I enjoyed that art exhibit immensely, and also learned a bit, I hope, about Dutch history and culture.

While you feel the article is not ready for mainspace, can you share any reason why incubation is not worth considering? It would seem to me that it would address two isues at once. A removal from article space to appease those who do not feel it ready, and allowing those who see a minor notability to continue efforts to strengthen the article as anticipated coverage grows and the child does more outside youtube. I would think this a reasonable compromise. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 09:49, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't really matter if the term was used at the time the video was made or not. There are many examples of terms that are used only in retrospect ("baroque", "rock music", "science" etc etc). It is clear from the article " Music video" that Penny Lane was a music video, although the term was not used at the time. It is more consistent to use the heading Music video to describe it. "Promotional film" is nowadays an old-fashioned and quite imprecise term, whereas "music video" is clear and straightforward. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrHeadTrip ( talk • contribs) 18:35, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
I will try to find a reliable source about the "video" for Penny Lane, and come back to you. Your example of The Song Remains the Same (film) actually supports the point I try to make, namely to use "music video" as the generic term for "a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes", or in more popular terms, "the kind of short film MTV would show." — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrHeadTrip ( talk • contribs) 19:13, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

This is the edit history for the last couple of hours of editing by Hullaballoo Wolfowitz of The Sacred Band of Stepsons page. This page has stood unmolested since the Spring of 2010 and now Mr. Wolfowitz is trying to dismantle it since he was overruled in vandalizing the Gilgamesh in the Outback page. Is there some speedy process to have him blocked from vandalizing any more of Ms. Morris' pages?

I'm glad to see you are keeping up on this article. I've done so much work on it in the past, I needed to take a break. It's a lot of work for a band I can't stand to listen to, but the article was just so bad when I found it UGH. I heartily approve of most the edits you have been doing, and have made many of the same ones in the past. I would ask if you might reconsider adding back the line with information and reference to Jeffree Star? It gives the band their gay "street cred," for whatever that's worth. Of their early performances, it was one of the more influential; at least I saw it mentioned it frequently in their early write-ups in Albuquerque. I agree with burning the rest of the name droppage. -- Oliver Twisted (Talk) (Stuff) 22:37, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

At User_talk:Sitush#Kshatriya_page the contributor KhatriNYC3 has said that they have registered that account because they forgot their old one, which they subsequently confirmed to have been KhatriNYC after I did a bit of digging around.
The earlier account was not lacking in drama. I am aware of WP:MULTIPLE and of the various userboxes etc that exist for declarations of alternate and previous accounts. However, the past drama concerns me slightly and I am wondering whether there should be an insistence that the original account is used. This might be problematic, of course, if what had been forgotten was the password and they have, for example, subsequently changed email address or whatever the password reminder system uses.
Not having come across a situation like this before, I would appreciate some input. - Sitush ( talk) 21:20, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

You have informed me that I'm doing something wrong, and I honestly don't know what it is.
71.250.144.60, the user I have reported, has made unsourced, false edits to the same information, and the edits have been reverted every time. I understand that admins may not be familiar with the information being edited, but the people posting to those pages are. This user is deliberately adding false information. Plus, the user has been warned and blocked for these same actions in the past. I don't understand why this time should be any different.
This is from the WP:VANDAL page, which you instructed me to read (and which I have read many times before): "Upon their discovery, revert clearly vandalizing edits. Then warn the vandalizing editor. Notify administrators of vandalizing users who persist despite warnings, and administrators should intervene to protect content and prevent further disruption by blocking such users from editing." This is what I and other users of the pages in question have done. So I honestly would like to know what I should be doing differently. Natalie47 ( talk) 01:26, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

I tried in vain to talk to him, in English, in Romanian, with no use, because he never returned my messages. At some point, you lose your patience. Of course, it won't appear in his contribs, because that was before I asked for protection for Vaslui page, when he edited without having an account; and he also had a dynamic IP, so it changed each day. He was warned (not by me), there were many attempts to talk to him, all in vain. And just to be clear, I didn't make any threat about blocking him, because I do not have this kind of power.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Jane McCrea. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
In particular, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. Your persistent reversals indicate a failure to abide by consensus. Please refrain and refer to discussion on the article talk page and on WP:ELN. Graeme374 ( talk) 03:01, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
Just a few hours since SC Vaslui page is unprotected, and already is vandalized. Now I believe more than ever, that the anonymous user who edited in the past, is Bad good dragosh98, because he edited at first from his IP, but he needed to be logged in, to be able to create the page of the player, he added in the squad. I would ask for another protection for the page, but if he's logged in, it would be in vain. Alexynho ( talk) 11:19, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
In the meantime, keep an eye on those articles and let me know if you think there are others that need protection; you can request protection at RPP, of course--you don't need me for that. I'll call in some second opinions as well, or maybe those will be provided free of charge by any talk page stalkers. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 14:48, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Well, now you've changed your criteria from verifiability to notability. I don't think you get to say that an entire section is not notable. If you think Abramoff's Brandeis hat is not notable, that sounds right: go ahead and delete it and I doubt anyone will revert. But wholesale deletion without explanation, without the slightest indication why you find every single reference in the section not notable, is less obviously justifiable. I am reverting one last time -- I suggest that if you disagree we put it to a vote. Nightspore ( talk) 14:03, 10 September 2011 (UTC)Nightspore
Hi - Admin JamesBWatson was my go-to guy for blocking a long-term vandal who enjoys adding false listing to the filmographies of voice actors, but his talk page says he won't be editing until mid-October. The vandal is back at User:184.9.81.223 should be blocked. I've rolledback all of their edits, but they won't stop, they never do, until they're blocked. Could you look into this, maybe look at comments by myself and Doc9871 (who is also tracking this vandal) from JBW's talk page history, and this thread from my talk page, which indicate that JBW was acting on our reports.

Hi! Your response on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism in regard to this user wasn't entirely correct; we were alerted to vandalism of Presentation College, Chaguanas, by ticket 2011091010008703, which pertains to vandalism done 8/11, was submitted on 10/11 and answered by me today.
Please note that the vandalism was done to a page about a particular school in Trinidad and Tobago, and that the subsequent edit (also on 8/11) was done to List of schools in Trinidad and Tobago. That gives us good reason to believe that we're dealing with a local editor who is trying to smear a competitor.

You had some issues at Rewari back in February. I am having similar issues with the same user - Rao Ravindra - on the same article now.

Who decides what is relevant to (or for) Rewari and what is not? The one who deeply knows the subject matter of the article or the one who does not? I have gone to San José, California, a few times because my son has been living and working there for a decade. A few visits to San José would not make me an expert on deciding on or deleting what others have included in an article on San José.

Hi Drmies, I just got your note about "edit warring" on Calvary Chapel. I do not believe you are justified in your assessment and placing a note on my page at all, much less on my page alone. If you really felt a note was necessary, I believe you should have identified the same on the other three editor's pages. But to this, que sera, sera.
COI/NPOV/et al: More importantly, looking over the talk page and the archives, it is my opinion (and the opinion of many other editors, as you will see) that the page suffers significant NPOV, COI, and other issues. The page is actively protected by a few editors, and any information that they wish to not have on the page is immediately removed, usually with no information placed on the talk page. I asked that (Wiki:multiple issues) or anything else be placed on the page, to provoke additional contributors to the Talk page, but the three Protectors actively removed it. Many other people have suggested improvements, especially in terms of critical information, and all of it is denied by the few Protectors.
Other editors notes: One of the many other contributors provided, "I'm concerned that the criticism section has been eviscerated down to 2½ lines, especially since there's an ongoing mediation case about the "Accusation of Cult Status" subsection, which Bluemoonlet removed." -- this was ignored by Bluemoonlet, the Protective contributor that presented me to your counsel. Another editor writes, "This white-washed POV..." when it came to protecting the happy faced POV presented by a few of the editors.
Archived matters that were never resolved: In one of the Archived matters that was never resolved, one of the writers presents that the article suffers COI in that :
When I presented these archived but unresolved issues to the Protectors, the information is discarded because they have a few "consensus editors" -- but those few are actively ignoring the other editors, and are actively preventing new editors from contributing (you can see this in the History and the Talk page).
I present this to you because you got yourself involved by writing on my page. Now I need your assistance. I am not familiar with the
Wikipedia:RFC process. I will read up on that. What am I supposed to present, though? That the page is actively protected by a few editors in support of Calvary Chapel?
Also, is there a way to put a banner on the page to alert new readers that they should look over the Talk page? Right now I read that the protective editors want to archive the talk page -- my attitude is, why? So new visitors don't see the history of problems on the page?

Hello Drmies, this is the user Mariah84. I just created a page for the band Folding Legs, who were previously Otterclan (they have had a wiki page under that name for a long time, that I created, and I want to add a page with their current name now). My page was just now deleted, and I received a note saying that I had violated copyright laws. In what way? It referred to the band's Facebook page. I am the leader of the band's fan group and own the rights to the photo I wanted to use (I took it). I also help run their Facebook page, as I am their direct link to their fans. I am not violating any copyright laws. Can I please have my page back as it was? It took me a while to design it. If not, can I at least get some tips on what to do so I can create one that stays up? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariah84 ( talk • contribs)
Hello again Drmies. I have been out of the apartment, but have roommates who are big fans of the band as well. I told them about the situation of the Wikipedia article I had tried to create before going out, and I can now see that they have been eager to get the site back up and running live (without knowing to check for your tips and comments before reposting the site). I'm very sorry about that, and understand that that must have come across as very obnoxious. It seems as if it is now impossible to work on the site at all. I assume that the salt you put on it has blocked it. I would feel horrible knowing that I all together ruined the chances for this band to get a Wikipedia article by someone, even if it wasn't me. If the band name is salted, that will make things really hard for someone who wants to write something about them. Me causing that would be the direct opposite of my initial intentions, which were to feature this band more. Is there anything I can do? Can the salt at least be lifted? I will not repeat the same mistakes again, and neither will my roommates. I hope you understand. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Mariah84 ( talk) 03:18, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry to hear that. I had copied the code for the Wikipedia page I had created into a separate Word document on my computer, as I'm not the best with formatting and thought that would save me time if the entire article got deleted and I needed to go back to square one. That way, I would at least have the article still there to reformat, instead of having to look up how to code everything again. All my roommates did was log in, with new accounts, and copy paste what I had saved in my Word document. Pretty simple. Don't underestimate the eagerness of an apartment full of girls who all want to see a page created for one and the same band. I thank you for your advice, however I will not be making any new attempts at creating this article, as I think it has become clear that I'm not the person for the job. Therefore, it saddens me that it now won't be possible for anyone else to do it either. Your decisions regarding the matter are however, of course, up to you. Have a nice day.

Drmies, you're generally a very reasonable and calm editor, but your comments at [4] make me think you either got up on the wrong side of the bed or that one of us is misunderstanding the conversation. I think DF is saying that checking the publisher's site to see if _they_ list reviews is a good move before heading to AfD. I certainly do that for game-related AfDs because most publishers like to brag about reviews. I don't think DF was arguing to cite the publisher's website. Rather that one should, ideally, check the publisher's website to see if there are (claimed to be) RSes out there. One of course then needs to confirm those sources are non-trivial, reliable, etc. I think that was DF's point at least. Hobit ( talk) 23:51, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi Drmies. I had posted a link to my website at http://www.jasonraize.net on the Wikipedia article for Jason Raize, an actor/singer and a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme who died in 2004. You had flagged my page as a fan site and removed the link. Yes, I am a fan who operates the site. However, with the exception of a handful of pages about site background, my site contains over 140 pages of detailed information about Jason's projects in theater, film, music, and goodwill work, all of which comes from sources which are credited.
I do not wish to violate Wikipedia policies and will not argue if my site cannot be listed. If the issue was that I listed the site myself, it is my error for not reviewing the conflict of interest policy for which I do apologize. I simply wish for Jason's fans to have a place to go for credible information should they wish to find out more beyond the brief biography on his Wikipedia page. I'm not competing with other "fan sites" for traffic: Jason's official website has been inactive (except for a brief message) since shortly after his death, and looking for "Jason Raize" on most search engines yields primarily articles about his death (which is the main reason why I seek to provide fans with more information about his life). If jasonraize.net is an allowable external link for people to visit to learn more about Jason Raize's life and career, I would very much appreciate being able to add my link back. Thank you for reviewing this request.

Hello Drmies,
If you have a couple of minutes to spare, I need the assistance of someone who speaks Dutch. I ran across Joseph Mulder in an AfD debate, and have expanded and referenced the article a bit. Before I got involved, the article consisted mostly of a scatological anecdote referenced to a 1718 Dutch source, which appears primary. Google Translate doesn't do a very good job - I suspect that the language is archaic. Can you take a look, please? Does this seem like a reliable source, and is the story described accurately? I've got a lot of doubts here, undue weight being among them. Also, I can't find any secondary sources discussing the incident. Your opinion would be appreciated. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:28, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi Drmies, If you have a moment, could you check this one for me? I noticed you'd made a couple of edits to The Well-Spoken Thesaurus, and this is connected. The creator of The Well-Spoken Thesaurus has also made a page for the author Tom Heehler. Tom's only claim for notablity is as the author of the Thesaurus book, which as far as I can tell doesn't meet wp:bio or wp:academic (The Well-spoken thesaurus is probably of marginal notability, but it does have 2 proper reviews). The creator of both articles is adamant that Tom's genius need be recognised - do you think it would be appropriate to change Tom's article to a redirect and then put the Thesaurus up for a deletion discussion? Or just create a redirect?? If you think anything should be done, could you (please..) make the change? If you check the Talk page of Tom Heeler, the creator is getting quite passionate (and I'm getting quite blunt). thanks! Clovis Sangrail ( talk) 06:20, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi Drmies, I do apologize for the sloppy work. I'm sure you noticed this was my first time...no dirty jokes please. Really should not have attempted to edit until reading Wikipedia procedures more thoroughly. Thankyou for not automatically deleting. Reading the history for this page it is clear there have been problems with previous contributions. The main issue is negative, one sided text with information primarily sourced from mainstream media. I have attempted to unravel some details by going to a variety of sources, but remain unhappy with my efforts. What I wish to achieve is a civilized approach to the subject so that other more knowledgable people might contribute (rather than ranting.) I will amend the shortcomings after reading up on procedures. Thankyou for note, it confirmed my own thoughts. Think I made it worse because I wanted to "fix" problems and went back repeatedly, and then I finally saw your note. Just call me a slow learner. Any sugestions you might have for this novice are welcome. Best regards. A fair go ( talk) 11:37, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on KSRolph/class list requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Karthik Nadar ( talk) 19:42, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

I do not understand how this system works - I hope this goes to Drmies -for me this way of communicating is non-intuitive. I have asked for an email correspondence which I know how to do but I will try to make this work. I tried to make reference to a blog and it was deemed illegal and never explained to me except with some boilerplated rule which said "People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible. " I don't see how I violated that prescription. I also tried to make reference to my book Understanding New Media and that was disallowed - again it was not explained to me. Finally the article talks about scholars who were influenced by McLuhan - I fall into that category so I added my name - this is a true statement - I have written half a dozen books based on my former collaboration with McLuhan and have been invited to speak all over the world on McLuhan. This is a fact. I do not see the bias. I do not think I broke any rules as you state that people with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject. I do not see any bias that I introduce by making references to a blog, my book and stating a fact. I am guily once of forgetting the 4 tilda rule but it was obvious I sent the edit and just forgot the 4 tildas. Please sort this out for me keeping in mind that I do suffer from a mild form of dislexia which I have over come for most media like email and writing books but I have not master wikipedia speak - for this I apologize - I meant no disrespect - to follow this conroversy see the record of edits at the article Marshalll McLuhan - Bob Logan Logan1939 ( talk) 00:39, 16 September 2011 (UTC)logan1939

I'm having a few issues with a particular editor, and I'm not entirely sure what the best approach is; I was wondering whether you could take a look. The issue is essentially this: said user generically dislikes list articles, preferring categories (despite long-standing consensus that the two are not mutually exclusive). To this end they nominated a bunch of the metal lists for deletion, although they subsequently admitted that they were looking for clean-up; examples are here, here and here. They also have a problem with artist nationality being recorded in llist articles (for example, this edit), although curiously they have no issue with date of formation being listed. The list articles were all kept following AfD, so their new tactic appears to be to delete everything without a source, which is fair enough if the editor has looked for sources themselves, but in this instance appears to be a pointed attempt to blank pages since they didn't get their own way at AfD. The latest, and most baffling altercation concerns the newly renamed (unilaterally by editor in question) list of Swedish death metal bands. Their unusual argument is that there is some huge distinction between a Swedish death metal band and a Swedish death metal band, although it is unclear where they have gleaned this distinction from. Nonetheless, I have done due diligence and found sources for everything on the list (initially Allmusic, although I have pointed said editor towards print sources (Daniel Ekeroth's Swedish Death Metal, Albert Mudrian's Improbable History, Terrorizer death metal specials etc.) but this particular chap is just removing all the sourced content (e.g this edit. A quick look at the talk page gives you a fairly clear idea of how they approach consensus-building; the "new inclusion criteria" have apparently been decided by him and him alone, and it far from clear exactly what they are.

And when I ask him why he did what he did he answered "`cause I wanted so", or "just for fun". He vandalized many many articles, besides the ones involving FC Vaslui. Hope you'll help me this time, too. Alexynho ( talk) 21:29, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure what "In terms of actual votes" means--is that 'as opposed to relative voting differences (in percentages?)' or so?
Note 3 for that sentence is to a Wikipedia article (which has no references), and if that article had references (like polling results or so) I don't see how it could make the general point about the narrow margin.
"Well" in "His philosophy was well described" is not entirely neutral. I suggest taking it out and instead making one or two points about what that philosophy entails, if it is important. Recasting the sentence to say something like "He supports curbside recycling and opposes the use of the internal combustion engine", with a reference to that article, might be an idea as well.
Notes 4 and 5 may need to be moved to follow "joining the Green Party"--I can't tell what note 5 verifies since the article doesn't pop up for me.
Also, the references need work--go ahead and use our citation templates, lest someone slap a linkrot tag on the article. I made a few minor copy edits--good luck with the rest! Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 16:46, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello Drmies,
I appreciate your feedback regarding my recent updates to Wikipedia. My goal with the recent updates is to try to ensure that Academy members, such as Willie Mays, are given the proper credit for their achievements and highlighting the fact that they are the recipients of the Academy's Golden Plate Award. In addition, I am finding that Academy member pages have direct quotes from interviews that we conducted with them over the years and thought the links to these unique and intimate interviews would provide some great insight into their lives and careers. By no means is it our intention to help optimize the search for our website (I know that they're not being followed). If the use of external links is prohibited in Wikipedia (and I can provide many examples of where they are being used for much less value that we are providing on our website), I will refrain from adding them. However, I don't understand why you removed the reference to Willie Mays receiving the Golden Plate Award. Is such an edit frowned upon as well? As side note, the founder of our non-profit organization took the most famous photographs of Willie Mays, which were on the cover of several issues of Sports Illustrated.
Further guidance would be greatly appreciated. Aaaeditor ( talk) 18:38, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Well, I am the webmaster of his website. I didn't have any experience in editing wikipedia articles whatsoever and I learned a lot in the few weeks I contributed especially from Moonriddengirl. Now that Paul's page has been cleaned, I have no intentions in messing it up again, e.g. adding unreliable citation. Again, I must stress that I'm "really" learning and don't know to be honest to even cite something, I simply copy/paste another citing. I would like to learn and become like you and Moonriddengirl and do work through wikipedia. Maybe you can give me an advice? At the end, since Paul's article's still neutral and with my promise that I would not do any edits on it anymore, can you please remove that tag you put? I would really appreciate it.

Hi there. I recently reverted a crude edit to an infobox (if you want the boring details, an IP had tried to insert the name of the vice-captain of a national football team by simply typing it under the captain's name, as the infobox template for national football teams doesn't have a vice-captain slot), but I promised the user on his talkpage that I would look into getting the template adjusted to include a vice-captain slot. I've raised the issue on the template's discussion but no one seems interested in responding. I would be bold but I don't have any experience editing templates, and don't want to catastrophically break such a heavily-used template. Can you help? Or perhaps suggest someone else who can?

If a merge proposal had little policy-compliant support and the proposer has formally withdrawn it, can anyone close it?

My dear Drmies,
I was about 21 hours into my Yom Kippur fast when I took a break and read your comment about the bounties of Dutch food on my smart phone. Though I know very little about your national cuisine, I imagined it in the hunger of the hours that remained of my fast. I had a visual input for my food fantasy as well, since Mrs. Cullen and I had gone to San Francisco to see "Dutch and Flemish Masterworks from the Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo Collection" in its final day before moving on to Houston. What a delight! One of the paintings was a table setting, a triumph of realism and symbolism. Each crease and fold in the table cloth was rendered perfectly, along with the cheese and the ham and a heavy wine glass or mug. There was a Chinese bowl filled with butter, teetering awkwardly, and a knife embellished with the artist's monogram leaning against the precarious arrangement. So that gave me something to think about in my hunger. My wife (who sends warm greetings) and I enjoyed that art exhibit immensely, and also learned a bit, I hope, about Dutch history and culture.

While you feel the article is not ready for mainspace, can you share any reason why incubation is not worth considering? It would seem to me that it would address two isues at once. A removal from article space to appease those who do not feel it ready, and allowing those who see a minor notability to continue efforts to strengthen the article as anticipated coverage grows and the child does more outside youtube. I would think this a reasonable compromise. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 09:49, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't really matter if the term was used at the time the video was made or not. There are many examples of terms that are used only in retrospect ("baroque", "rock music", "science" etc etc). It is clear from the article " Music video" that Penny Lane was a music video, although the term was not used at the time. It is more consistent to use the heading Music video to describe it. "Promotional film" is nowadays an old-fashioned and quite imprecise term, whereas "music video" is clear and straightforward. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrHeadTrip ( talk • contribs) 18:35, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
I will try to find a reliable source about the "video" for Penny Lane, and come back to you. Your example of The Song Remains the Same (film) actually supports the point I try to make, namely to use "music video" as the generic term for "a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes", or in more popular terms, "the kind of short film MTV would show." — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrHeadTrip ( talk • contribs) 19:13, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
