Hi, Kudpung. (Whoa, seriously cool template above the edit window. Never seen that before. I want one!) I've seen you around the wiki, and you seem pretty sensible to me. Regarding your comment here, I don't want to clutter the discussion up by replying to everyone favoring deletion—I hate it when that happens—so I hope it's okay if I make a couple of comments here.
Template:AnonymousWelcome and Template:Welcome-anon: while I think calling them "near duplicates" is an exaggeration, their basic function is similar, so that seems like a reasonable point of view. Your broader point troubles me, though. As someone who has scrolled through that long and growing list of welcome templates to identify several that I felt comfortable using, I'd say that while there is some redundancy, there is also an abundance of meaningful, if often subtle, distinctions. Unless we're going to start a wholesale culling of welcome templates ( omg—forget I said that), I'm not sure why Template:AnonymousWelcome, which is almost six years old and has done no evident harm, is being singled out for extermination. However, its wording could be much improved, and it doesn't much matter to me whether it's modified or deleted and another one started from scratch. Here's my question: if I were to create a new one, based loosely on Template:AnonymousWelcome but much improved, would you be willing to look it over and offer suggestions? If so, I'll shoot you a link when I upload my draft to userspace. If not, that's fine. Rivertorch ( talk) 09:11, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Kudpung. There's one serious problem with similar articles. They usually contain reliably looking list of references and NPP patrollers sometimes don't bother to check whether the information is correct and verifiable. The articles in question survived here a month almost without noticing. Before I mark an article as patrolled, I almost always check at least a part of the content outside of Wikipedia. Patrolling the articles from the NP backlog is an interesting area of work ... I'd prefer to wait some time and give the editor a chance to address the problems. -- Vejvančický ( talk | contribs) 14:13, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Kudpung, Thank you so kindly for your very quick response to my query regarding The Amazing People Club. I have gone through your references/links provided and spent a lot of time yesterday also researching whether we reach the 'notability' standards and external references also. To the best of my ability, I am able to ascertain that we 'qualify' and would benefit the Wikipedia community/knowledge base.
The problem, however, remains, in that the coding and technical side of creating an article on Wikipedia is rather beyond me. Also, I have noted that this would not be suitable in terms of myself being associated with the Company.
If I really feel strongly that it should be included and if is a proposal that is welcomed by Wikipedia, how do I go about getting assistance to have an experienced Wikipedia editor/contributor to 'technically' create it. I am actually rather surprised that it does not exist already! Well, you can hear I feel quite passionate about it...

Hi Kudpung, re User talk:Fetchcomms#Essay format, unfortunately I have to tell you that using that design isn't going to happen now :(.

If you believe the article to be biased, please specify its drawbacks. Most of assertions are supported by references, and there are ten times more references in the ru-wiki (but most of them are in Russian). Levashov is called healer and psychic both by his partisans and critics, the deaths of his patients is a documented fact. He is oficially accused as an antisemit by Russian government (although he claims he is not an antisemit but antijudaist), his organization is blamed as a destructive cult by Russian Orthodox Church and religious scientists. He is called pseudoscientist by several American and Russian competent and well-known scientific skeptics. What is biased from your point of view? Even Levashov himself would agree with half of the statements of the article (because he doesn't think it's discreditably). Pasteurizer ( talk) 04:38, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey Kudpung. I've been thinking about what we can implement without difficulty to help improve RfA. Your mention of edit notices has been running through my mind, because when I started mine, I didn't really remember it any warnings. I've been doing some investigation, and it looks like we have an edit notice for transclusion, but the one for page creation is the standard RfA voter one. The fact is, by the time you transclude, you've created the RfA, you're just working out how to move it and have enough to worry about
And suddenly, my technical GENIOUS struck me (ok, I might be over playing it, but I'm quite smug here)... Why not change the group notice if the page doesn't yet exist (ie if they are creating the page). So, I've tested it on Template:Editnotices/Group/User:Worm That Turned. By using the "ifexist" and the "fullpagename" magic words, you can get different notices if you edit an existing page or create a new one.
So, the question becomes - what notice should we put in for people creating new RfA pages? I'd be willing to put it in WP:BOLDly, but it should be very noticeable - for example I don't think flashing (like your edit notice) would be a bad thing. WormTT · ( talk) 09:31, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Please could you send me a copy of that article? Also, I can't understand why it's viewed as a "nasty attack". How could it be re-written to meet Wikipedia's rules? At no point did I write anything untrue - even the part on the bizarre, erotic fiction! I also never named the Wikipedia author but merely pointed out that there is a lot of speculation about the real author. Whoever David Rose is, he has been systematically editing the foes of Johann Hari on Wikipedia.
I don't believe you could have read all of Jack of Kent's blog post or checked the edit history on the referenced wikipedia entries in the time between my writing the article and your deletion.

Thank you for the links to WP:NOTYOURS and the polite comment from User:Snottywong on WP:NLT. WP:NOTYOURS does not concern itself with deletes though - all normal edits allow any author to retrieve their own version for their own use. I think it's disgusting that you won't let me have access to a piece of material, which I wrote in good faith to share with the community. But the overlords of Wikipedia refuse to extend me the same courtesy. As you continue to refuse to talk about the details of the case and answer any question I put to you, I am going to draw a line under this issue.
Nic Doye ( talk) 08:10, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you Danger - nice to get some information. Thank you for your help.
The article I wrote for Wikipedia is now somewhat redundant. Both The Spectator and the Huffington Post (especially) have published the same story - which brings me back to how I was viewed as "nasty" for writing the same thing (but with references and a neutral tone). I feel the editor was too hasty in performing a speedy delete. Were the four references read? Were the 5 or 6 Wikipedia articles, and their history read?
In other news User:David_r_from_meth_productions has been blocked by admins and identified as a sockpuppet (a claim by others that was discussed in my article). One of the other accusations made at this user discussed in my article may sound offensive but is however true. Facts are facts, and editors should check them instead of assuming that this was some angry hate piece.
I personally feel very let down by Wikipedia in this one instance.
Nic Doye ( talk) 16:08, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks User:Snottywong but I suspect that when The Independent have finished their investigation, we'll be able to put the facts on David Rose's true name's Wikipedia page.

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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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.

Thanks for deleting the article Elite Pedro. Some creature which might be a god or an animal or a man is always a blatant hoax? Not really. Many deities in various pantheons have been variously described as any combination of human, animal, fire, wind, water, rocks household objects or planets. See Pantheon (gods), and for instance, Armenian mythology and determine if a stub could be written about one of those gods or spirits as short and vague as the one CSD'd. Monsters and spirits include dog-like Aralez who lick the wounds of warriors, Sahapet who are in the form of serpents, Nhang who are like seals. See Bastet from Egyptian mythology. One could write a stub which said "Many discuss where Bastet's story first began. Was she god, woman, lioness or a domestic cat? Some associated her with perfume jars." Your notion would CSD such an article as a blatant hoax, because a short stub about them sounds odd to you, or you never heard of them. My deletion criterion was a valid one, though the article seemed like a hoax as well. An article is often a hoax and an attack article, or lacks context. An article about something from mythology you are unfamiliar with is likely to seem hoax-like. The fact that you had previously deleted it per a different one does not mean that you are right and everyone else patrolling new pages is wrong and needs your correction.

Hi Kudpung, I was quite surprised by your multiple messages about the precision of my SD nominations. I have been flagging potential speedy deletions for many years and found it rather condescending to be referred back to WP:NPP like a novice editor. In all that time, you are the only admin who has taken exception with the categories I have nominated. Of course, I cannot go back and dispute your categorisation since the articles have been deleted (guess the nomination was not inappropriate). I can only reiterate that I have nominated hundreds (possibly thousands) of poor articles for speedy deletion, and will continue to do so to the best of my ability. I am sorry if you cannot accept that like every other admin in the past. Regards, WWGB ( talk) 02:29, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Even though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up here, and this time we want to match one or more Online Ambassadors to each class based on interest or expertise in the subject matter. If you see a class that you're interested, please contact the professor and/or me; the sooner the Ambassadors and professors get in communication, the better things go. Look for more in the coming weeks about next term.
In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles.
Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Wikipedia assignments and managing courses are most effective.

Hi, Kudpung. (Whoa, seriously cool template above the edit window. Never seen that before. I want one!) I've seen you around the wiki, and you seem pretty sensible to me. Regarding your comment here, I don't want to clutter the discussion up by replying to everyone favoring deletion—I hate it when that happens—so I hope it's okay if I make a couple of comments here.
Template:AnonymousWelcome and Template:Welcome-anon: while I think calling them "near duplicates" is an exaggeration, their basic function is similar, so that seems like a reasonable point of view. Your broader point troubles me, though. As someone who has scrolled through that long and growing list of welcome templates to identify several that I felt comfortable using, I'd say that while there is some redundancy, there is also an abundance of meaningful, if often subtle, distinctions. Unless we're going to start a wholesale culling of welcome templates ( omg—forget I said that), I'm not sure why Template:AnonymousWelcome, which is almost six years old and has done no evident harm, is being singled out for extermination. However, its wording could be much improved, and it doesn't much matter to me whether it's modified or deleted and another one started from scratch. Here's my question: if I were to create a new one, based loosely on Template:AnonymousWelcome but much improved, would you be willing to look it over and offer suggestions? If so, I'll shoot you a link when I upload my draft to userspace. If not, that's fine. Rivertorch ( talk) 09:11, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Kudpung. There's one serious problem with similar articles. They usually contain reliably looking list of references and NPP patrollers sometimes don't bother to check whether the information is correct and verifiable. The articles in question survived here a month almost without noticing. Before I mark an article as patrolled, I almost always check at least a part of the content outside of Wikipedia. Patrolling the articles from the NP backlog is an interesting area of work ... I'd prefer to wait some time and give the editor a chance to address the problems. -- Vejvančický ( talk | contribs) 14:13, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Kudpung, Thank you so kindly for your very quick response to my query regarding The Amazing People Club. I have gone through your references/links provided and spent a lot of time yesterday also researching whether we reach the 'notability' standards and external references also. To the best of my ability, I am able to ascertain that we 'qualify' and would benefit the Wikipedia community/knowledge base.
The problem, however, remains, in that the coding and technical side of creating an article on Wikipedia is rather beyond me. Also, I have noted that this would not be suitable in terms of myself being associated with the Company.
If I really feel strongly that it should be included and if is a proposal that is welcomed by Wikipedia, how do I go about getting assistance to have an experienced Wikipedia editor/contributor to 'technically' create it. I am actually rather surprised that it does not exist already! Well, you can hear I feel quite passionate about it...

Hi Kudpung, re User talk:Fetchcomms#Essay format, unfortunately I have to tell you that using that design isn't going to happen now :(.

If you believe the article to be biased, please specify its drawbacks. Most of assertions are supported by references, and there are ten times more references in the ru-wiki (but most of them are in Russian). Levashov is called healer and psychic both by his partisans and critics, the deaths of his patients is a documented fact. He is oficially accused as an antisemit by Russian government (although he claims he is not an antisemit but antijudaist), his organization is blamed as a destructive cult by Russian Orthodox Church and religious scientists. He is called pseudoscientist by several American and Russian competent and well-known scientific skeptics. What is biased from your point of view?

Hey Kudpung. I've been thinking about what we can implement without difficulty to help improve RfA. Your mention of edit notices has been running through my mind, because when I started mine, I didn't really remember it any warnings. I've been doing some investigation, and it looks like we have an edit notice for transclusion, but the one for page creation is the standard RfA voter one. The fact is, by the time you transclude, you've created the RfA, you're just working out how to move it and have enough to worry about
And suddenly, my technical GENIOUS struck me (ok, I might be over playing it, but I'm quite smug here)... Why not change the group notice if the page doesn't yet exist (ie if they are creating the page). So, I've tested it on Template:Editnotices/Group/User:Worm That Turned. By using the "ifexist" and the "fullpagename" magic words, you can get different notices if you edit an existing page or create a new one.
So, the question becomes - what notice should we put in for people creating new RfA pages? I'd be willing to put it in WP:BOLDly, but it should be very noticeable - for example I don't think flashing (like your edit notice) would be a bad thing. WormTT · ( talk) 09:31, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Please could you send me a copy of that article? Also, I can't understand why it's viewed as a "nasty attack". How could it be re-written to meet Wikipedia's rules? At no point did I write anything untrue - even the part on the bizarre, erotic fiction! I also never named the Wikipedia author but merely pointed out that there is a lot of speculation about the real author. Whoever David Rose is, he has been systematically editing the foes of Johann Hari on Wikipedia.
I don't believe you could have read all of Jack of Kent's blog post or checked the edit history on the referenced wikipedia entries in the time between my writing the article and your deletion.

But the overlords of Wikipedia refuse to extend me the same courtesy.

Nic Doye ( talk) 08:10, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you Danger - nice to get some information. Thank you for your help.
The article I wrote for Wikipedia is now somewhat redundant. Both The Spectator and the Huffington Post (especially) have published the same story - which brings me back to how I was viewed as "nasty" for writing the same thing (but with references and a neutral tone). I feel the editor was too hasty in performing a speedy delete. Were the four references read? Were the 5 or 6 Wikipedia articles, and their history read?
In other news User:David_r_from_meth_productions has been blocked by admins and identified as a sockpuppet (a claim by others that was discussed in my article). One of the other accusations made at this user discussed in my article may sound offensive but is however true. Facts are facts, and editors should check them instead of assuming that this was some angry hate piece.
I personally feel very let down by Wikipedia in this one instance.

Not something I've really had to worry about before, but what do we do when a blocked editor uses an IP address to ask for an unblock? I assume we block the IP, in the same way we would block the user? (Haven't actually had to do it yet!) Since you were involved in at least one unblock request, I thought I'd ask you :) [2] - For the record, I've no recollection of accepting them as an adoptee...

An article on Mohammad Nasim Fariqi is currently before afd. You deleted an earlier version as A7. I didn`t realize an earlier version had been deleted before I attempted to rescue it.
I admonished the nominator for only giving the newbie who started the article ten minutes before making their nomination.
Could you graft on the revision history of the versions you deleted to the current revision history?

Hello! I've been mulling over criteria for what I feel would be acceptable for recall and I'd like it to where only a select few editors I trust can ask for my recall. I'd like you to be one of those editors. I've outlined the process here. If there is any reason you would not like to be on this list, for example maybe you object to recall or perhaps you don't want to deal with the drama involved, could you please let me know?--v/r - T P 18:40, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Kudpung, Just read that you are off on a journey, hope all goes well. I am writing to follow up on your kind offer to review/assist with my creating of a wiki article for The Amazing People club. As per your advice, I have created a sub page and am working on it and wanted to see if you think we are heading in the right direction, as you know, I feel quite passionate that this is something that should be there. Some things to note and which we are awaiting - We have just signed contracts with large institutions such as Ebsco, Global Grid For Learning, Vodomodo, etc and some more discussions with very reputable organisations are underway. This will soon be announced and there will be a link/source for reference which can be added. Are you pls able to take a look at what we have 'drafted' and offer your opinion. Many thanks in advance, your kind offer to assist with this is highly appreciated. Kind regards, Marion Lenmar123 ( talk) 05:01, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi pal
Hi was thinking of something a little more targeted on the problem. The EAR page gathers lots of different kind of requests, while a simple category or list of articles in need of editing would be IMHO better suited (like the ones you linked on the VP, thanks).
About the italian language on my page, I usually write in english to english users, but answer in Italian to italian ones. This is actually allowed by the rules. Note that most of those messages came from vandals of it.wiki coming here to harass me. -- Jollyroger ( talk) 09:17, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank you once again for your kind words and encouragement.

A tag has been placed on File:British camp central mound 2005.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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.

Thanks for deleting the article Elite Pedro. Some creature which might be a god or an animal or a man is always a blatant hoax? Not really. Many deities in various pantheons have been variously described as any combination of human, animal, fire, wind, water, rocks household objects or planets. See Pantheon (gods), and for instance, Armenian mythology and determine if a stub could be written about one of those gods or spirits as short and vague as the one CSD'd. Monsters and spirits include dog-like Aralez who lick the wounds of warriors, Sahapet who are in the form of serpents, Nhang who are like seals. See Bastet from Egyptian mythology. One could write a stub which said "Many discuss where Bastet's story first began. Was she god, woman, lioness or a domestic cat? Some associated her with perfume jars." Your notion would CSD such an article as a blatant hoax, because a short stub about them sounds odd to you, or you never heard of them. My deletion criterion was a valid one, though the article seemed like a hoax as well. An article is often a hoax and an attack article, or lacks context. An article about something from mythology you are unfamiliar with is likely to seem hoax-like. The fact that you had previously deleted it per a different one does not mean that you are right and everyone else patrolling new pages is wrong and needs your correction.

Hi Kudpung, I was quite surprised by your multiple messages about the precision of my SD nominations. I have been flagging potential speedy deletions for many years and found it rather condescending to be referred back to WP:NPP like a novice editor. In all that time, you are the only admin who has taken exception with the categories I have nominated. Of course, I cannot go back and dispute your categorisation since the articles have been deleted (guess the nomination was not inappropriate). I can only reiterate that I have nominated hundreds (possibly thousands) of poor articles for speedy deletion, and will continue to do so to the best of my ability. I am sorry if you cannot accept that like every other admin in the past. Regards, WWGB ( talk) 02:29, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
I saw ayou asked the question, "What is the default CSD criterion?" at an RFA, and that puzzled me. I've never heard of a "default" criterion for speedy deletion.

Even though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up here, and this time we want to match one or more Online Ambassadors to each class based on interest or expertise in the subject matter. If you see a class that you're interested, please contact the professor and/or me; the sooner the Ambassadors and professors get in communication, the better things go. Look for more in the coming weeks about next term.
In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles.
Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Wikipedia assignments and managing courses are most effective.
