Hi JohnCD,
I think it may be time to consider undeleting the Bitcoin article.
The bitcoin economy has grown to over a million dollars, and the number of businesses using it has continued to grow. Indeed, the Electronic Frontier Foundation accepts Bitcoin donations - how ironic that the EFF uses a currency that is not able to be explained by a Wikipedia article.
Is there a way by which we can formally reopen the discussion about the Bitcoin article?

Could you please undelete this article? We have received OTRS permission for it which I can add as soon as it is restored and I'll be sure to let them know that they need to promptly address the promotional and notability aspects or it is likely to be deleted again.

Hi. I am trying to get a page put together on T. Markus Funk in anticipation of Chicago ABC 7 Reporter Chuck Goudie's profile of Funk this evening at 10:00 p.m. Apparently some other page on Funk was removed on a prior occasion, and it appears that my contribution was also shut down/deleted. Could you please consider un-deleting my contribution? Thanks, Peterjones1234 ( talk) 18:25, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick response, John. I tried following your advice about modifying/editing/supplementing the entry, but was unable to save my changes, receiving the below deletion information (which is why I contacted you and mentioned that it appeared the entry had been deleted). Any advice you can give would be much appreciated.

Thanks, John. I will take a look at the new article and see what I can do (on a limited schedule). Don't know anything about Columbia1234 or a prior entry discussing ISBN numbers, etc. BTW, how do I make sure I am editing the "new" version, rather than the deleted one? I though I was working on the new version when I saw the various notes indicating the deficiencies in what was already written, but when I tried to save changes I received the notice that the version I was working on had been deleted in the interim between when I typed in the changes/edits and when I hit "Save Page." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peterjones1234 ( talk • contribs) 21:40, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Dear John,
The page should not be deleted, as the book meets all the criterion of wikipedia. It is not a self-published book, but published by India's leading publisher. It has already sold thousands of copies. It is one of the most enjoyable book published in recent times. Check it out from India's largest online bookstore www.flipkart.com. Just type Jab se in the SEARCH field.

Dear Sir/Madam, I have been trying to correct outdated information on the Wikipedia page about the company that I work for (Elsevier). To that end, I created a username that transparently reflects our intentions of providing more up-to-date, accurate information for all Wikipedia readers. However, a few minutes after editing the first paragraph, I got blocked. I asked for the reason behind this decision, but apparently I am also blocked from the “talk” page. As part of Elsevier’s Corporate Relations team, my intention is simply to complete information, update numbers (which have not been revised since 2006), and add updated information about our business. I hope you can clarify why we do not have the possibility to update the Wikipedia page of our own company while others, who may not always have the correct information to their disposal, apparently can. I trust you share our aim to provide the public with quality, up-to-date information. (Our username was Elseviercorprelations - I am using this account because the other one does not allow me to appeal at this discussion board). We sincerely hope you will reconsider your decision of blocking us. Best,

Hi John, I'm planning to write an article about Petra Airlines, but have just noticed that a previous attempt was speedy deleted, because notability could not be established. Well, I do think that this company is notable, though. It is a start-up airline, so there aren't all-too many reliable sources to be found. But those that are there ( [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] just to name some), are IMO enough to provide the significant coverage in reliable third-party media, which would be enough to pass the WP:CORP notability guideline. I'm starting editing on the article in my userspace, and would be glad if you could have a look at it before it may be copied into main space.

No problem, we are a minor party on the way up with continued memberships coming in each week. Honestly I would have liked to have been on wikipedia, but the fact is I do not want our party associated with anything that looks dubious. So I guess we will have to wait until we run in the 2011 Local Council elections and hopefully with the related media coverage of that election, somebody ads us to wikipedia.

Hello,
I am unsure why you & your colleagues decided to delete the article I was working on whilst I was adapting & translating a French WP version. Although I agree it looks untidy the way it has been frozen, nobody was going to look for "emaux de Briare" in the next couple of hours so I would have had time to improve it by quite a bit -that is if I had been given a couple of hours. Now what can I do? What can you do that would be helpful?
If your purpose is to discourage newcomers, you can be satisfied.
Good bye

hello JohnCD my name is Aaron Cargill- it is to my understanding that you recently deleted an article of mine (Robbie Leopardi) the reason was that he is not important (A7: Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject) I just wanted to tell you that he is very important, for example when you google robbie l "Robbie Leopardi" is the first suggestion on top of people like Robbie Lawler (a famous ufc fighter) who by the way has a wikipedia page so if you are going to delete that page why arent you going to delete Robbie Lawler under the same reasons? or please put the page Robbie Leopardi back up- i spent alot of time writing that page on a significant person not for it to be deleted but for people to know about him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaron cargill ( talk • contribs) 11:22, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

John, Thanks for the relist. The frustration here is that those who want the article deleted don't understand to research and find the information. Shimeru said that it is ok if info is in native language also as it can be translated. I have put whatever I have including articles written in Sri Lanka that I have. Others have sent me things I have included. I see a question about India times bestseller and it was listed in 2003 I think. So it's not there online now but I created the article from facts. Whatever facts I had. My interest is puting a local author on the map not anything else. I am looking at all Sri Lankan women authors. Also note her books were the first books in IT ever to be published in English by a Sri Lanka author. Books are endorsed by the Sri Lanka government. I have attached that image as proof. The author meets the criteria for inclusion. She is a well known Sri Lanka writer. The Sri Lanka government has listed her on their page. I am deflated by the quick delete comments as there should be a chance for those who know her work to re-edit rather than those who just can't be bothered about researching to delete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthuwella ( talk • contribs) 00:17, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
I added the links because SmartSE claimed that the sources were "not reliable", "not neutral" and "self created" so I responded with proof of links that show otherwise and lists reliable sources and third party articles and interviews about the artist. Then when I scanned the Financial Times article. Again I was told it is made up, so I had to explain with as many links as I could find. Then I was told google doesn't have stuff. So I spent hours getting links from google to prove otherwise. I don't know what facts are already established so I am trying to provide links that prove as much as possible that the author meets the requirements for inclusion. What else is needed? I agree with DDG and Uncle G. How can I get their help? I also appreciate your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthuwella ( talk • contribs) 01:38, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
to whom this may concern,
being new to this end of wikipedia my intention with the World of Beer page was to work on it this upcoming weekend.
World of beer is a bar that has taken off over the last few years across the state of florida and is rapidly expanding throughout the eastern, south eastern and gulf coast of the US. its focus is in regard to the craft brew, microbrew and import beers of the greater US and the world at large.
from an amateur sociological perspective, the impact of the orginal location against the greater community that surrounds as well as the culture that has developed has made a significant impact on the success of the bar(s).
if you have any further questions, please let me know. i'd like to get the base for the article started tomorrow and have some links and pics ready by saturday.
thanks.

Also can I give an email by placing it on a talk page so someone can send more info to me that way.

I started the page Mubasshar Hussain. But, later it was deleted by User:Michig. I edited it again providing enough reliable references. User:Ragib deleted the page again and blocked me from editing. I created a new wikipedia account and tried to start the page, but failed. Mubasshar Hussain is the president of Commonwealth Architects Association and ARCASIA. But it was stated, "Speedy deleted per CSD A7, was an article about a real person that didn't assert the importance or significance of its subject. using TW". You saved the page Hassan Shahriar before, which was also started by me. So, I am asking for help to you. If I am wrong please explain.

John, Can the article be placed under incubation or for further discussion rather than deletion? It was even deleted prior to completion of 7 days despite valid arguments for keeping it and this is again not allowing us to add further material for this. Chamithra is doing so much of research and I have contacted several sources to get more, so I can't understand why it was deleted without wizerdman discussing what can be done or what needs to be done to include it or atleast incubate it. Pleeeeese HELP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthuwella ( talk • contribs) 21:59, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
I have asked wizardman. The reason I need it in incubation and not deleted is to get the translations. There is much more references. I just don't have them. Like DDG said, it is hard to get stuff that is in Pakistan India Sri Lanka etc so there needs to be some time to get these. I have seen the India times bestseller things but I don't have those, someone else may so I need to get Sri Lanka wiki project help. Also, I am not sure what specific information I need to include to get the article relisted so I want to get help by those who maybe able to direct me into getting the right stuff rather than me adding stuff I have or can find. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthuwella ( talk • contribs) 20:01, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Also as I understand "notable" criteria is met if "books by an author that is published by a known traditional publisher is used as textbooks or course material in several universities" Am I wrong in this? or is this specific criteria met? Also as I understand "verifiable" "reliable" third party sources include mainstream newspapers and articles in them by independent journalists? Am I wrong? What does chamithra mean by NOTTEMP? I can't understand. If it is ongoing interest in her work, does it matter if her books have been used as textbooks for over 10 yrs in these universities.
At this point I am not so bothered on the article as much as trying to understand what exactly the article lacks. I am working next on Anne Ranasinghe and I don't want the same situation to occur as this author is also known but has less links. It doesn't meen she doesn't have things outside google.
Also what I don't like in all this is that this was an article that was in wikipedia for 2 years till an "unusual" trigger to the foundation initiated a delete. It was unusually triggered and then although so much more is included, the article continues to be disregarded rather than looked at in the way it should be. That is the problem. If it was AfD by a normal request, it would not be as weird. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthuwella ( talk • contribs) 20:15, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Also, with due respect I don't agree at all with your rationale that wikipedians don't think Ms. Wirasinha is notable. Wikipedians thought her notable to include her in 2008 and keep her in wikipedia for two years till an unusuall decision was created to remove her. Now a select few seem to not want to understand the notability criteria that is met as far as wikipedia technical rules of notability goes to exclude a foreign author from being included despite her meeting notability. Look at the wording under notability and where it says if 1 of them is met then notability is met. She has met several. So that is why I am looking into the way wikipedia bends the notability guidelines to keep some authors and delete others. I see some other Sri Lankan authors removed for no reason. There are valid references in those as well. Please also note that Sri Lanka newspapers in both English, Tamil and Sinhala are world class newspapers. They don't include made up stories or bogus articles as some editors haphazzardly and baselessly claimed. I don't appreciate these aspects. It is not the article or the author of this specific article that bothers me but the way foreign sources are disregarded and treated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthuwella ( talk • contribs) 20:36, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

It was not an AUTOBIOGRAHY either and I know that wikipedia is not social networking... I don't think that the previous page that I created titled 'Nikesh Thapaliya' had to be deleted.

There are many pages about people and even small pages are accepted as I have seen. Nikesh is an aspiring world record holder, a media person and an upcoming celebrity of Nepal. he is multi-talented and has bright future.

On a more serious note I am extremely worried about possible compromised accounts. See [7] a guy called ribuck on that bitcoin hosted forum claimed to have written to you [8] as User:Eiffel who has been on wiki since 2004 with less than 100 edits but has edited in every year. A guy called User:Cambrasa who has been on wikipedia from 2007 but didn't edit from September 2008 and turned up on 13th December to comment on the Bitcoin DRV. A user called User:Em3rgent0rdr, who Cambrasa claims has "copied his signature", seems to have done so only to make the four recent edits culminating including the Bitcoin DRV. QUACK. On another note starting a DRV on this was a silly move :) particularly when it became apparent that the subject squeezed through the notability guidelines.

"Of course, for new bubbles it's all about creating buzz. And how is buzz created? Well, upon getting fooled into paying money for a bunch of bitcoins the rational next move is to start talking up bitcoins to everybody as loudly as possible, to pull more people into the bubble and inflate the value of your own assets. Thus, I predict we'll be hearing more and more about bitcoins over the next year or so as the process accelerates."

There are references to Artur Balder as writer in the most important Spanish media. I list some of them:
List of references
|
---|
El País, published for instance in nacional sites, culture, books 2006: http://www.elpais.com/articulo/cultura/Artur/Balder/triunfa/narrativa/infantil/debuta/historica/elpepicul/20060610elpepicul_5/Tes?print=1 On the other hand it is strange that someone can state that may be the Artur Balder of Little Spain is not the same as the Artur BAlder of the books, since at the official site of the documentary you can download the press kit in high resolution, and in the chapter that it dedicates to the director, Artur Balder is the author of El Evangelio de la Espada, Crónicas de Widukind, and this is too in the GERMAN wikipedia stated. Both links: http://little-spain.us/Little_Spain_Prensa_2010.pdf http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artur_Balder The Little Spain official site links to an official Flickr site where is clear to see the references of Artur Balder. I invite you to visit the www.little-spain.us Artur Balder is author of, as far as I know, 7 novels, some them translated into 8 languages, including nederlands, italian, french, with major publishing houses. The publishing house in spanish for his fantasy fiction is Random House Mondadori. You can read at the corporate website of RHM the recommendation of the author: http://www.randomhousemondadori.com/Sellos/SellosFicha.aspx?Idioma=En&id=15 The historical fiction is being published by Edhasa, a major prestigious publishing house in Spain: The official site for its last historical fiction, published in november 2010, had a shortfilm for promotion of the saga, and all the information is available in english, german and spanish, with an excerpt of the book in russian, too: htt://www.widukind.eu References caused by announcement the documentary of "Little Spain": Looking at the search result you can see ALL the spanish media in the list in the first 100 results, from La Vanguardia, El País, El Mundo, La Razón... Just all. There is consensus about the relevance of the work of Artur Balder in relationship with the restoring of the historical memory of a large number of immigrants in New York City and Little Spain. The information, that was not intended primarly to the american media, was however trnaslated from agency EFE AMERICA reports into the pages of the Chicago Tribune and Latin American Herald Tribune, and translated into english: Particularly the link to The Latin American Herald Tribune: http://laht.com/article.asp?CategoryId=13003&ArticleId=378105 And this is the resulat of a first private screening at La Nacional, the Spanish Benevolent Society of NY, last november, for the Spanish media and media agencies. Wikipedists have to know that the documentary is going to be released in a major film festival of New york city in 2011, but I cannot write down the name since it will be 100% sure. The IMDb has accepted the credits of Balder's work in film industry during the last 10 years: |
Articles about Artur Balder are present in about 10 languages of Wikipedia, included the german one.
I hope I can rebuild a logical article about the subject, and later continue adding other contributions since there are a lot of historical interesting discoverings at 14th street of Manhattan in relationship with its Spanish American past.

Hi, I have a question:
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources#Statements_of_opinion
Some sources may be considered reliable for statements as to their author's opinion, but not for statements asserted as fact without an inline qualifier like "(Author) says...". A prime example of this is Op-ed columns in mainstream newspapers. When using them, it is better to explicitly attribute such material in the text to the author to make it clear to the reader that they are reading an opinion.
There is an important exception to sourcing statements of fact or opinion: Never use self-published books, zines, websites, webforums, blogs and tweets as a source for material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the biographical material. "
From WP:SPS Self-published..sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, usually in articles about themselves or their activities,
Two questions:
1) To use a quote that describes an action taken along with a third party (so this would be for "sources of information about themselves" "in articles about their activities" e.g. in an article mentioning the family's response to the album):
Jackie Jackson reported, "My friend John McClain (co-executor) and I have insisted for many weeks to have certain tracks removed from Michael's new album." [1]
It would seem that it has to be modified so it appears as:
Jackie Jackson reported, "I have insisted for many weeks to have certain tracks removed from Michael's new album." [1]
Or can I use the full quote but also add a second citation that supports the info about John McClain? e.g. http://www.showbiz411.com/2010/11/09/michael-jackson-producer-teddy-riley-blames-co-executor-for-bad-press
2) It would seem that I could use a twitter post by Jackie Jackson as source of information about the author's opinion, as long as I use an "an inline qualifier" like "(Author) says..." so that it is not asserted as fact.
Verapar (
talk)
05:22, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
Both Jackie Jackson and Katherine Jackson have voiced their objections to certain tracks on the album. [1] [2] The album producer, Teddy Riley, says he has fought the family's objections and insists that the vocals are authentic and were pieced together from different takes. [2] Jackie Jackson reported his "friend John McClain (co-executor)" also insisted on the removal of certain tracks (or "also objected to certain tracks" to be more general) and Riley confirmed that McClain "challenged” him about songs on the album. [1] [3] But Riley claims McClain objects for personal reasons: "Now all of a sudden it’s not Michael’s voice because his [McClain's] songs didn’t make it." [3]

Hi JohnCD,
I think it may be time to consider undeleting the Bitcoin article.
The bitcoin economy has grown to over a million dollars, and the number of businesses using it has continued to grow. Indeed, the Electronic Frontier Foundation accepts Bitcoin donations - how ironic that the EFF uses a currency that is not able to be explained by a Wikipedia article.
Is there a way by which we can formally reopen the discussion about the Bitcoin article?

Markus Funk in anticipation of Chicago ABC 7 Reporter Chuck Goudie's profile of Funk this evening at 10:00 p.m. Apparently some other page on Funk was removed on a prior occasion, and it appears that my contribution was also shut down/deleted. Could you please consider un-deleting my contribution? Thanks, Peterjones1234 ( talk) 18:25, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick response, John. I tried following your advice about modifying/editing/supplementing the entry, but was unable to save my changes, receiving the below deletion information (which is why I contacted you and mentioned that it appeared the entry had been deleted). Any advice you can give would be much appreciated.

Thanks, John. I will take a look at the new article and see what I can do (on a limited schedule). Don't know anything about Columbia1234 or a prior entry discussing ISBN numbers, etc. BTW, how do I make sure I am editing the "new" version, rather than the deleted one? I though I was working on the new version when I saw the various notes indicating the deficiencies in what was already written, but when I tried to save changes I received the notice that the version I was working on had been deleted in the interim between when I typed in the changes/edits and when I hit "Save Page." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peterjones1234 ( talk • contribs) 21:40, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Dear John,
The page should not be deleted, as the book meets all the criterion of wikipedia. It is not a self-published book, but published by India's leading publisher. It has already sold thousands of copies. It is one of the most enjoyable book published in recent times. Check it out from India's largest online bookstore www.flipkart.com. Just type Jab se in the SEARCH field.

Dear Sir/Madam, I have been trying to correct outdated information on the Wikipedia page about the company that I work for (Elsevier). To that end, I created a username that transparently reflects our intentions of providing more up-to-date, accurate information for all Wikipedia readers. However, a few minutes after editing the first paragraph, I got blocked. I asked for the reason behind this decision, but apparently I am also blocked from the “talk” page. As part of Elsevier’s Corporate Relations team, my intention is simply to complete information, update numbers (which have not been revised since 2006), and add updated information about our business. I hope you can clarify why we do not have the possibility to update the Wikipedia page of our own company while others, who may not always have the correct information to their disposal, apparently can. I trust you share our aim to provide the public with quality, up-to-date information. (Our username was Elseviercorprelations - I am using this account because the other one does not allow me to appeal at this discussion board). We sincerely hope you will reconsider your decision of blocking us. Best,

Hi John, I'm planning to write an article about Petra Airlines, but have just noticed that a previous attempt was speedy deleted, because notability could not be established. Well, I do think that this company is notable, though. It is a start-up airline, so there aren't all-too many reliable sources to be found. But those that are there ( [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] just to name some), are IMO enough to provide the significant coverage in reliable third-party media, which would be enough to pass the WP:CORP notability guideline. I'm starting editing on the article in my userspace, and would be glad if you could have a look at it before it may be copied into main space.

No problem, we are a minor party on the way up with continued memberships coming in each week. Honestly I would have liked to have been on wikipedia, but the fact is I do not want our party associated with anything that looks dubious. So I guess we will have to wait until we run in the 2011 Local Council elections and hopefully with the related media coverage of that election, somebody ads us to wikipedia.

Hello,
I am unsure why you & your colleagues decided to delete the article I was working on whilst I was adapting & translating a French WP version. Although I agree it looks untidy the way it has been frozen, nobody was going to look for "emaux de Briare" in the next couple of hours so I would have had time to improve it by quite a bit -that is if I had been given a couple of hours. Now what can I do? What can you do that would be helpful?
If your purpose is to discourage newcomers, you can be satisfied.
Good bye

John, Thanks for the relist. The frustration here is that those who want the article deleted don't understand to research and find the information. Shimeru said that it is ok if info is in native language also as it can be translated. I have put whatever I have including articles written in Sri Lanka that I have. Others have sent me things I have included. I see a question about India times bestseller and it was listed in 2003 I think. So it's not there online now but I created the article from facts. Whatever facts I had. My interest is puting a local author on the map not anything else. I am looking at all Sri Lankan women authors. Also note her books were the first books in IT ever to be published in English by a Sri Lanka author. Books are endorsed by the Sri Lanka government. I have attached that image as proof. The author meets the criteria for inclusion. She is a well known Sri Lanka writer. The Sri Lanka government has listed her on their page. I am deflated by the quick delete comments as there should be a chance for those who know her work to re-edit rather than those who just can't be bothered about researching to delete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthuwella ( talk • contribs) 00:17, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
I added the links because SmartSE claimed that the sources were "not reliable", "not neutral" and "self created" so I responded with proof of links that show otherwise and lists reliable sources and third party articles and interviews about the artist. Then when I scanned the Financial Times article. Again I was told it is made up, so I had to explain with as many links as I could find. Then I was told google doesn't have stuff. So I spent hours getting links from google to prove otherwise. I don't know what facts are already established so I am trying to provide links that prove as much as possible that the author meets the requirements for inclusion. What else is needed? I agree with DDG and Uncle G. How can I get their help? I also appreciate your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthuwella ( talk • contribs) 01:38, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
to whom this may concern,
being new to this end of wikipedia my intention with the World of Beer page was to work on it this upcoming weekend.
World of beer is a bar that has taken off over the last few years across the state of florida and is rapidly expanding throughout the eastern, south eastern and gulf coast of the US. its focus is in regard to the craft brew, microbrew and import beers of the greater US and the world at large.
from an amateur sociological perspective, the impact of the orginal location against the greater community that surrounds as well as the culture that has developed has made a significant impact on the success of the bar(s).
if you have any further questions, please let me know. i'd like to get the base for the article started tomorrow and have some links and pics ready by saturday.

I started the page Mubasshar Hussain. But, later it was deleted by User:Michig. I edited it again providing enough reliable references. User:Ragib deleted the page again and blocked me from editing. I created a new wikipedia account and tried to start the page, but failed. Mubasshar Hussain is the president of Commonwealth Architects Association and ARCASIA. But it was stated, "Speedy deleted per CSD A7, was an article about a real person that didn't assert the importance or significance of its subject. using TW". You saved the page Hassan Shahriar before, which was also started by me. So, I am asking for help to you. If I am wrong please explain.

John, Can the article be placed under incubation or for further discussion rather than deletion? It was even deleted prior to completion of 7 days despite valid arguments for keeping it and this is again not allowing us to add further material for this. Chamithra is doing so much of research and I have contacted several sources to get more, so I can't understand why it was deleted without wizerdman discussing what can be done or what needs to be done to include it or atleast incubate it.

I have asked wizardman. The reason I need it in incubation and not deleted is to get the translations. There is much more references. I just don't have them. Like DDG said, it is hard to get stuff that is in Pakistan India Sri Lanka etc so there needs to be some time to get these. I have seen the India times bestseller things but I don't have those, someone else may so I need to get Sri Lanka wiki project help. Also, I am not sure what specific information I need to include to get the article relisted so I want to get help by those who maybe able to direct me into getting the right stuff rather than me adding stuff I have or can find. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthuwella ( talk • contribs) 20:01, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Also as I understand "notable" criteria is met if "books by an author that is published by a known traditional publisher is used as textbooks or course material in several universities" Am I wrong in this? or is this specific criteria met? Also as I understand "verifiable" "reliable" third party sources include mainstream newspapers and articles in them by independent journalists? Am I wrong? What does chamithra mean by NOTTEMP? I can't understand. If it is ongoing interest in her work, does it matter if her books have been used as textbooks for over 10 yrs in these universities.
At this point I am not so bothered on the article as much as trying to understand what exactly the article lacks. I am working next on Anne Ranasinghe and I don't want the same situation to occur as this author is also known but has less links. It doesn't meen she doesn't have things outside google.
Also what I don't like in all this is that this was an article that was in wikipedia for 2 years till an "unusual" trigger to the foundation initiated a delete. It was unusually triggered and then although so much more is included, the article continues to be disregarded rather than looked at in the way it should be. That is the problem. If it was AfD by a normal request, it would not be as weird. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthuwella ( talk • contribs) 20:15, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Also, with due respect I don't agree at all with your rationale that wikipedians don't think Ms. Wirasinha is notable. Wikipedians thought her notable to include her in 2008 and keep her in wikipedia for two years till an unusuall decision was created to remove her. Now a select few seem to not want to understand the notability criteria that is met as far as wikipedia technical rules of notability goes to exclude a foreign author from being included despite her meeting notability. Look at the wording under notability and where it says if 1 of them is met then notability is met. She has met several. So that is why I am looking into the way wikipedia bends the notability guidelines to keep some authors and delete others. I see some other Sri Lankan authors removed for no reason. There are valid references in those as well. Please also note that Sri Lanka newspapers in both English, Tamil and Sinhala are world class newspapers. They don't include made up stories or bogus articles as some editors haphazzardly and baselessly claimed. I don't appreciate these aspects. It is not the article or the author of this specific article that bothers me but the way foreign sources are disregarded and treated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muthuwella ( talk • contribs) 20:36, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

There are many pages about people and even small pages are accepted as I have seen. Nikesh is an aspiring world record holder, a media person and an upcoming celebrity of Nepal. he is multi-talented and has bright future.

On a more serious note I am extremely worried about possible compromised accounts. See [7] a guy called ribuck on that bitcoin hosted forum claimed to have written to you [8] as User:Eiffel who has been on wiki since 2004 with less than 100 edits but has edited in every year. A guy called User:Cambrasa who has been on wikipedia from 2007 but didn't edit from September 2008 and turned up on 13th December to comment on the Bitcoin DRV. A user called User:Em3rgent0rdr, who Cambrasa claims has "copied his signature", seems to have done so only to make the four recent edits culminating including the Bitcoin DRV. QUACK. On another note starting a DRV on this was a silly move :) particularly when it became apparent that the subject squeezed through the notability guidelines.

"Of course, for new bubbles it's all about creating buzz. And how is buzz created? Well, upon getting fooled into paying money for a bunch of bitcoins the rational next move is to start talking up bitcoins to everybody as loudly as possible, to pull more people into the bubble and inflate the value of your own assets. Thus, I predict we'll be hearing more and more about bitcoins over the next year or so as the process accelerates."

There are references to Artur Balder as writer in the most important Spanish media. I list some of them:
List of references
|
---|
El País, published for instance in nacional sites, culture, books 2006: http://www.elpais.com/articulo/cultura/Artur/Balder/triunfa/narrativa/infantil/debuta/historica/elpepicul/20060610elpepicul_5/Tes?print=1 On the other hand it is strange that someone can state that may be the Artur Balder of Little Spain is not the same as the Artur BAlder of the books, since at the official site of the documentary you can download the press kit in high resolution, and in the chapter that it dedicates to the director, Artur Balder is the author of El Evangelio de la Espada, Crónicas de Widukind, and this is too in the GERMAN wikipedia stated. Both links: http://little-spain.us/Little_Spain_Prensa_2010.pdf http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artur_Balder The Little Spain official site links to an official Flickr site where is clear to see the references of Artur Balder. I invite you to visit the www.little-spain.us Artur Balder is author of, as far as I know, 7 novels, some them translated into 8 languages, including nederlands, italian, french, with major publishing houses. The publishing house in spanish for his fantasy fiction is Random House Mondadori. You can read at the corporate website of RHM the recommendation of the author: http://www.randomhousemondadori.com/Sellos/SellosFicha.aspx?Idioma=En&id=15 The historical fiction is being published by Edhasa, a major prestigious publishing house in Spain: The official site for its last historical fiction, published in november 2010, had a shortfilm for promotion of the saga, and all the information is available in english, german and spanish, with an excerpt of the book in russian, too: htt://www.widukind.eu References caused by announcement the documentary of "Little Spain": Looking at the search result you can see ALL the spanish media in the list in the first 100 results, from La Vanguardia, El País, El Mundo, La Razón... Just all. There is consensus about the relevance of the work of Artur Balder in relationship with the restoring of the historical memory of a large number of immigrants in New York City and Little Spain. The information, that was not intended primarly to the american media, was however trnaslated from agency EFE AMERICA reports into the pages of the Chicago Tribune and Latin American Herald Tribune, and translated into english: Particularly the link to The Latin American Herald Tribune: http://laht.com/article.asp?CategoryId=13003&ArticleId=378105 And this is the resulat of a first private screening at La Nacional, the Spanish Benevolent Society of NY, last november, for the Spanish media and media agencies. Wikipedists have to know that the documentary is going to be released in a major film festival of New york city in 2011, but I cannot write down the name since it will be 100% sure. The IMDb has accepted the credits of Balder's work in film industry during the last 10 years: |
Articles about Artur Balder are present in about 10 languages of Wikipedia, included the german one.
I hope I can rebuild a logical article about the subject, and later continue adding other contributions since there are a lot of historical interesting discoverings at 14th street of Manhattan in relationship with its Spanish American past.

Hi, I have a question:
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources#Statements_of_opinion
Some sources may be considered reliable for statements as to their author's opinion, but not for statements asserted as fact without an inline qualifier like "(Author) says...". A prime example of this is Op-ed columns in mainstream newspapers. When using them, it is better to explicitly attribute such material in the text to the author to make it clear to the reader that they are reading an opinion.
There is an important exception to sourcing statements of fact or opinion: Never use self-published books, zines, websites, webforums, blogs and tweets as a source for material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the biographical material. "
From WP:SPS Self-published..sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, usually in articles about themselves or their activities,
Two questions:
1) To use a quote that describes an action taken along with a third party (so this would be for "sources of information about themselves" "in articles about their activities" e.g. in an article mentioning the family's response to the album):
Jackie Jackson reported, "My friend John McClain (co-executor) and I have insisted for many weeks to have certain tracks removed from Michael's new album." [1]
It would seem that it has to be modified so it appears as:
Jackie Jackson reported, "I have insisted for many weeks to have certain tracks removed from Michael's new album." [1]
Or can I use the full quote but also add a second citation that supports the info about John McClain? e.g. http://www.showbiz411.com/2010/11/09/michael-jackson-producer-teddy-riley-blames-co-executor-for-bad-press
2) It would seem that I could use a twitter post by Jackie Jackson as source of information about the author's opinion, as long as I use an "an inline qualifier" like "(Author) says..." so that it is not asserted as fact.
Verapar (
talk)
05:22, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
Both Jackie Jackson and Katherine Jackson have voiced their objections to certain tracks on the album. [1] [2] The album producer, Teddy Riley, says he has fought the family's objections and insists that the vocals are authentic and were pieced together from different takes. [2] Jackie Jackson reported his "friend John McClain (co-executor)" also insisted on the removal of certain tracks (or "also objected to certain tracks" to be more general) and Riley confirmed that McClain "challenged” him about songs on the album. [1] [3] But Riley claims McClain objects for personal reasons: "Now all of a sudden it’s not Michael’s voice because his [McClain's] songs didn’t make it." [3]
