Hello, please comment-out the entry on the original day's log when you relist an afd. This removes it from WP:AFDO, and prevents another admin from closing it on accident. Every AFD should only ever exist on a single logpage. Thanks, Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 21:02, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I've been considering starting a WikiProject to clean up the Unreleased album category (I'm finding it's definitely going to take a group effort). If you might be interested, I've started trying to write it up here. — Hello, Control Hello, Tony 19:34, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay but just want to drop a quick note saying thank you for participating in my RfA which closed and passed earlier this week. I'm definetely keeping everyones points in mind about project space participation -- it's something I realize I will have to work on to round out my wiki experience. Like all my other reports I'm hoping to get better with the speedy critieria. If you have any comments I'm always open to the counsel of others. Sincerely – Zedla ( talk) 02:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Moonriddengirl. I would like the assistance of a cool-headed admin. As much as I swore that I would never get involved in edit wars about music genres, here I am at Glassjaw. I was drawn in (and requested page protection) when some anon IPs were warring back and forth and clogging the page history. Someone had gone to the effort of finding sources for genres but User:Mrbelial, who is likely also User:189.24.99.171 and User:189.24.85.13 (among others) keeps deleting sourced material. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. When we pointed out WP:V, the user expressed an opinion about music magazines, but since then has simply kept reverting without discussing. I have warned the user that one could be blocked for edit warring even without breaking 3RR, and have suggested dispute resolution repeatedly to no avail. If you have a moment to look at this, offer any advice, I would appreciate it very much. I had considered a 3RR report but I don't think the user technically went beyond 3RR. I considered RfC or 3rd-opinion, but that seems unnecessary because all other editors already at the page seem to disagree with Mrbelial. I considered a report to Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts but the user is not communicating at all at this point. Thanks for any suggestions, -- Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 17:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Kitty53 ( talk) 20:19, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Just curious if you know why a page that the Wikipedia community determined to "Keep" has now been deleted? I couldn't find any information on who deleted the article, but I saw that you had previously commented on it and thought you might have some insight. It seems that people make certain determinations on Wikipedia, especially when it comes to music, based on taste and not facts. For example, someone has included Rod Stewart on a list of hard rock musicians, though Stewart has never recorded anything even vaguely approximating hard rock. I happen to think Syrym is not only a good band, but that they have legitimacy based on both who they are and the bands their members have previously (or currently) been associated with. If you've got any insight into this situation, I'd be grateful for the knowledge. I thought this was supposed to be an encyclopedic volume, not a popularity contest.

I'm not going to go through any dispute resolution as that is pointless. You, as an admin, are omnipotent and can basically get away with writing any rubbish on Wikipedia. The fact that you haven't been challenged yet is simply a reflection on the unimportance of the subject and the perceived lack of integrity of your articles. Carry on.

Hi. Thought I'd ask another question here. On Santidev Ghosh's I wanted to make a few comments on the discussion page. But I could not find a way to start it.

Hi. I don't know if you are familiar with History merging, but I recommended it in the AfD for List of radio stations in Albuquerque as it is a good way to consolidate the history of a page which has been copy-pasted to another page, when the merged-to page does not contain significant edit history which overlaps the history of the merged-from page. I think this would be appropriate in the case of List of radio stations in Albuquerque which was copy-pasted into Media of Albuquerque. J-stan did this at the closure of the similar AfD for List of radio stations in Shreveport.
P.S. Thank you very much for restoring the California radio lists to my userspace. I do plan on working these into more comprehensive "Media" lists/articles, and am satisfied with the outcome of these more recent AfDs on citywide/regional radio station lists.

Thanks for the head's up on that. I think this was my first relist, although I did do a lot of AfD stuff before my wiki break last year and I might have tried one back then; I just don't remember. Either way it slipped my mind and I appreciate you catching it.-- Torchwood Who? ( talk) 18:20, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Troubling you again. I got a note from one of the nephew's of Mr. Ghosh, stating that the spelling of the first name has many English variations, but the person Santidev actually use a unique version of his last name, i.e. Ghose and not Ghosh. I tried changing the name on the page heading, but could not. I left a comment on the discussion page on Santidev Ghosh. I did alter the main text to include the Ghose variant to the name, and made it Ghose in the bio data box. Can you advise the best course of action at this point regarding the spelling of the last name on the main page heading? Thanks in advance Tonymitra ( talk) 21:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Here's something where I could use some help from you, Moonriddengirl, if you're interested. I just noticed a comment from Ozzieboy at WT:Criteria for speedy deletion/Templates (general), with a suggested change (inserting something along the lines of "or duplicate pages" or "a page which is an exact duplicate of another page" (latter is my version)) which seems reasonable to me. However, it also seems reasonable to me that if such a change is to be done, the policy (CSD) should be modified first, then the template, and I just replied so. Anyway, if you'd like to help, you can assist in reaching consensus on this, for example perhaps by proposing the suggested change at CSD yourself if you agree with it, or by replying to Ozzieboy with a reason why it wouldn't be a good idea, or some other action. I don't have strong feelings about including the suggestion or not; I just want to make sure that all concerns have been addressed reasonably. (Perhaps just doing nothing is OK too now that I've replied to Ozzieboy's message, anyway.) Thanks. -- Coppertwig ( talk) 18:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
DONE: all the draft templates have been created. See my message at WT:Criteria for speedy deletion#Suggested new wordings for CSD templates. It would be helpful if you would look them over -- perhaps just checking that the wording is reasonable and/or is what was agreed on; I haven't checked them against any changes that have happened meanwhile in the CSD's, for example. I may have made mistakes copying the wording, too. I may be checking some of the programming-type details and hope that Happy-melon will check them over too. Thanks. -- Coppertwig ( talk) 01:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
←I've looked at (and contributed to) one; I'll look at the other in a minute. As opposed to the new templates, I'm not sure how best I can help out. Is there anything specific I can or should do? -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:36, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

and consider whether they represent policy adequately, or whether some of them should be deleted or have their wording changed to correspond more closely to policy (or whether policy needs to be changed to reflect actual template usage). I'm somewhat concerned that G6 is vague and that some of these templates invoke G6 with wording which does not appear at all in the G6 policy. I've tried to make the situation clearer by inserting "Asserted to be non-controversial maintenance" and am not sure if this gets the point across that the other words are not a quote of G6. Maybe you can think of better wording. Also perhaps comment on the redirects and deletions suggested by Happy-melon. Thanks. (Note that due to a quirk in how the templates are implemented, A3 may need to be mentioned twice in blankcsd. It may not be worth the trouble to change that.) --

Hi there! what's up? Thanks for the rating on the article. Your recommendations and suggestions are quite logical and encourging. I did follow the links you mentioned and will try to use them to improve the article.
About the citations, i agree its a problem, but the thing is most of the information comes from hard copy magazines and newspapers which the band provided (in the form of scans) when i e-mailed them! I dont know if there's a way to provide those references but if there is one, please do notify me about it and i will see what i can do. About the reviews, i will try to search the internet for them but i dont think i will find anything. Oh, and this is Eftekasat's only album, so there are no release orders!

Re. Alexis Stone Lopez, recently deleted.
I wonder if you could help me understand how to bring this article into compliance. This woman is a strong artist. One of few that received unanimous praise from all three judges on American Idol. Also in a recent Idol compilation, she outsold everyone else on the project. Television appearances have all gone well. In general, people appear very interested in her. She has a lot of MySpace popularity and a general Internet buzz is positive. Current newspaper articles mention her regularly. She is in constant demand on college radio. Perhaps none of these things I have mentioned carry enough weight, or have I just worded them badly? I could mention more of her accomplishments, but it is not my desire to appear self-serving. Your help or advice would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, even that appears to have been deleted. It doesn't appear that any attempt was made to discuss this article with the contributors to it, which leads me to believe that it was deleted based on someone's opinion only. If that is the case, there are a vast number of articles with much less content/value than the Syrym article, and they are all still in existence. Do you know if there is any way to recover the deleted article, or does all deleted content get wiped off the server? Crunch23 ( talk) 16:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

This matter Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christian Polak is a disappointment because you seem to have counted votes, rather than weighing the validity of arguments. Could you explain to me please why this subject is notable. Could you, for instance, point to one independent source that has covered the subject (not just mentioned them in passing), or show me where the subject was cited by independent, reliable sources? Surely if there were valid keep arguments it should be trivially easy to find such a thing. Remarkably, every time we check a reference, we either find that the reference does not say what is claimed in the article, or the reference was written or translated by the subject, so it is not independent.

I believe the language is Arabic. If you go to the main page, it is the second language down, under Simple English. I've no idea what the article is about, or what it says. All I know is that this is the English Wikipedia, and accordingly articles should be in one of the variations of the English language. That is why I tagged it for speedy deletion.

Hi Moonriddengirl :)
You deleted Livemocha on the grounds of significance. I have left a message on the talk page as to why I think it meets significance/notability guildelines. I'm slowly working on improving the article on my user page here. Obviously, it needs work but I think it's appropriate to get up so that people can contribute to it. What needs to be done to get it to the right standard?
I haven't done a lot of editing on Wikipedia, so I apologise for not starting an article that meets the right standards.

The Powerpuff Girls episodes section needs articles for EACH individual episode. But the leader of updating the Cartoonnetwork articles does not want to consider the idea since it came from me. So I need much of your help. I'd go at it alone but I don't know how to create valid articles linked to specific text.
It's would take too long for you to go into detail about the article creation and such. But if you could:
1. Create an article 2. fill it with little tidbits of exclusive information so it doesn't get deleted immediately or mark it with some sort of tag that says it will shortly be updated(by me((it doesn't have to say "by me" specifically but I WILL get to it as soon as you've created it and further fill it up until it is worthy of being called an article))).

Thanks for catching my mistake Moonriddengirl. I think I misread the year wrong on the revisions... it is 2006 and I though it was 2008. I carefully looked through the 2008 revisions to the Poles page and could find no merge, and I could not find any merged content on the current version, so I assumed the content had not been merged because frankly the content at the point of the merge was a little meandering. Anyway, as there was a merge and therefore the edit history is meaningful... my deletion request was inappropriate... thanks for double-checking. -- Marcinjeske ( talk) 03:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but no. Many editors on the page agree that over the past year or longer this user has added nothing to the article except disruptive and sometimes racist comments. For a long time there was a tag on the article, that it was in violation of NPOV (because of its emphasis on views that many considered racist and fringe); he kept removing it. Everytime he removed the tag, someone reverted him (from a range of other editors). Eventually he filed an RfC and the consensus of a great many commentators was that the article violates NPOV. At that point several editors in fact sought mediation. He pointedly and repeatedly refused to support any mediation, and the request was turned down. In fact, a day or two ago he complained that he would go to an administrator and someone reminded him about the discussion concerning mediation - apparently, that is when he turned to you.
This is what is going on: rather than accept mediation, or file a complaint at ArbCom, where he would have to provide a history of evidence and others would provide their own views and additional evidence, Jagz periodically turns to administrators who have not been following the article for the past year and therefore cannot possibly see his pattern of racist and disruptive edits.
So with all due respect, no. If you genuinely wish to help you can volunteer for informal mediation and see whether he and other people active on the page - and perhaps some people who were driven off the page by his persistent racist edits - would agree to groundrules. I would go along with that. Or, advise Jagz to make an application for formal mediation. In the meantime, I will call attention to every disruptive edit he makes, because I do not want to see a Wikipedia article that gives undue weight to fringe racist theories that whites are, for genetic reasons, of superior intelligence to blacks.

Jagz (
talk) 16:26, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Moonriddengirl, I just read both of your extentsive and thoughtful replies on my talkpage. You are right: I would like a community ban of Jagz from the article. I am afraid nothing you will say at this point will change my mind. If I am a minority of one, my views will indeed go nowhere and hey, maybe I will get blocked or banned from the page! I just do not think I am alone, or that the evidence is against me. For a very long time I assumed good faith and treated Jagz as a well-intentioned editor. After a very long time of contentious editing, a few things are now very clear to me: he knows nothing, absolutely nothing, about the topic; he is a racist; his agenda is to ensure that racist fringe views are included in the article, and he has an array of strategies for disruptive editing. The current one is a paerfect example, "all I want ..." - the section he is talking about ... we cannot get around content here ... is fundamentally fringed and racist. No geneticist would dispute that there is a genetic component to intelligence. But no geneticist supports the claim that IQ differences between different races (and races are social constructs, not genetic populations) are genetic. The only people who make this claim are non-experts and racists. It is a fringe view that should not be provided alongside other explanations for IQ test result differences discussed by mainstream scientists. When I and several editors pointed this out to Jagz, we went back and forth for over a month where Jagz kept saying that he would not accept any deletion of fringe views until someone explained to him why they were deleting it. Everyone someone provided an explanation, he just said, "I am just asking for an explanation." Out of countext, his line seems well-intentioned and constructive. In context, it was just a cleverly disguised form of trolling. When he insisted that there have been genetic discoveries supporting his view, I asked him to provide a reliable source for just one discovery, and he ignored me. I asked him about a half dozen times just for him to provide anything of substance to support his claim and he ignored me. Obviously, there have not been any such discoveries, or Jagz simply does not know about them, i.e. he refuses to do any research. Again, out of context his claim that there have been many discoveries in genetics about the genetic baiss for differences in racial intelligence sounds like the reasonable comment of an editor who has researched the topic. In fact, it was just pure bullshit. nd after a half dozen rounds of "Please give us one example of such a discovery," Jagz' line now is "all I have wanted all along is for you to edit this section." In context, it is trolling. If you do not know the history of the discussion, it seems reasonable unless you start thinking - who is Jagz to invite someone to edit an article? Why is he making this request? In fact, we have made edits to the article, and have been criticizing racist and unsupported edits, or edits reflecting fringe views, jagz has put in the article. This is the context for his latest request: it is clear that several editors think an entire section in the article gives undue weight to racist views and should be deleted, and his response is that we should edit it to make it good. That implies that we have knowledge of genetics that wouldimprove the section, when we have spent six months to a year explaining to him that our knowledge of genetics leads us to delete this section or minimize it to a footnote. In this context, his request is really disingenuous provocation, an example of trolling.
Maybe this is more than you wanted to hear but since you left two more comments on my page I felt you deserved a response. Jagz is a racist troll who is an ignoramous about research on race and intelligence and who moreover refuses to do anything approaching serious research required for scientific articles. If this were the Evolution article and he kept proposing to add creationist crap I assure you he would be treated the same way ... and if he persisted for a year in his attempts to push fringe views in the article, many people would indeed stop asuming good faith ... but I doubt that any admin then tell editors at the Evolution page to giv him another chance or be more open to his suggestions.

Hi. I'm new to contributing articles on wikipedia. I'd like some opinions about this article/bio I contributed. My plan is to contribute bios for other art bloggers/writers of note like Edward Winkleman and Tyler Greene once I finish with the Sherwin bio. Do you have any suggestions? For example, should I mentioned the Alexa ranking of the Myartspace Blog? ( Roodhouse1 ( talk) 14:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC))
←*Response Hi. I'm sorry it took me longer to get back to you than I had believed it would. I'm afraid that I haven't been able to come up with anything specifically helpful. :/ I've done some searching on google, but didn't disclose any sourcing of the sort that I would usually include. Because of that, my suggestions remain very general.
Authors fall under the specific section of the notability guidelines for "creative professionals". There are some specific benchmarks that other contributors to Wikipedia look for here. First, if the gentleman has been the subject of discussion of multiple unrelated reliable sources, he passes by the general criteria. Those would be news media or magazines, as I said, or could also include unrelated, reputable websites. Other possible points include the following, each of which require specific verification through reliable sources.
Things I would be looking for in your position would be:
Good luck, and I do hope that some of this helps. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
As I think I mentioned I'm new. I don't think that matters but I do think things here are a bit unfair. For example, the Brian Sherwin bio was deleted within minutes the first few times I tried working on it. No debate, no talks. Just deleted as if for personal reasons. So I think it is unfair for it to be marked as repeatedly deleted when it was deleted without cause the prior times. I don't really agree with the voting on here because some people end up going along with past vote statements that have nothing to do with the status of the bio at present meaning they did not even bother to read what they are voting on. Not to mention that several votes for delete contain wild assumptions and false information that had nothing to do with the bio at hand. I've seen bios about sports figures on here and the only thing notable about them is the team they played for but an interviewer and writer documenting contemporary art culture through over 400 interviews with artists like Michael Craig-Martin and James Rosenquist is not?

Hi. That did not go over well. I guess I did not understand.( Roodhouse1 ( talk) 14:00, 9 May 2008 (UTC))
Strong evidence? I think when someone votes delete per someone else's opinion when that opinion is proven wrong by the current state of the bio there is a problem. He obviously based his opinion on the opinion of the other voter instead of reading the current bio. This can lead one to assume many things. Did someone send him there for the delete vote? Did he do it for brownie points? I'll assume all I want when assumptions and false information is deciding votes on an article I've taken time to write. The bio never said anything about Sherwin being the creator of the Myartspace site and I don't think the notability (or lack thereof) of myartspace should have anything to do with a bio about a writer, interviewer, and art critic that has been published both online and offline. Interviewing 400 artists in just a couple of years is worthy of note when you consider that most of the major art publications interview two or three artists per month. I asked the other guy to look at the bio again as well and in his eyes a person is not notable unless they have been in the New York Times. Which I think is a great error and I believe putting those obstacles before bios goes against what wikipedia is about or what I thought it was about. (
Roodhouse1 (

"Delete as NN; the website he's notable for (myartspace) wouldn't even meet notability; even if it did, there have been a great many AfDs for a NN creator of a notable website. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 19:50, 6 May 2008 (UTC)"
"Delete per JeremyMcCracken. BWH76 (talk) 06:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)"
So in your eyes this is balanced voting? This is acceptable? As I mentioned on the debate page after JeremyMcCracken's statement, Sherwin is NOT the creator of Myartspace and the notability (or lack of notability) of Myartspace is not on trial here. So it would appear that BWH76 did not even bother to read the bio or the statements I made after JeremyMcCracken's vote on the debate page. Have I violated Wikipedia etiquette? I don't think I'm the only one. I'm going to walk away for a day or so because I don't want this turning into a flame war. ( Roodhouse1 ( talk) 15:32, 9 May 2008 (UTC))
Hi. I appreciate your time and concern. So it is OK to vote without looking at the bio or article? Because if he had he would not have agreed with the other person because the other person's statements had nothing to do with the bio at that time (or ever). I call it as I see it. We will just see how this turns out. But I have learned a few things and I'm looking forward to debating about other bios in the future. :)( Roodhouse1 ( talk) 00:11, 10 May 2008 (UTC))

Hi, there! On your user page you claim that you:
"typically do not work on articles in which I have a strong personal interest.

I have not yet encountered any kind of ownership issues, and I don't want to. :)"
But have you ever, say, posted a person's unpublished CV and arranged for it to be cited on the web, in order to shoehorn unverified information into a biography article? Have you ever edited biography articles of persons who are known to you? Have you ever edited biography articles at the behest of the subject of the article?

Hi Moonriddengirl. Thank you for your helpful comments regarding the Motocade article. As a somewhat disinterested person just looking for information of a mildly famous band from New Zealand I was surprised that no Wikipedia article existed. I see someone did a very poor start that was marked as vandalism and I was hoping to create something that at least could be built upon by actual fans. I guess there must be hundreds of garage bands nobody has heard of trying to create their own article so admins must keep an eye out. Anyhow I have decided to forget about it but I do appreciate your input.

Hi Moonriddengirl. I would like the assistance of a cool-headed admin. As much as I swore that I would never get involved in edit wars about music genres, here I am at Glassjaw. I was drawn in (and requested page protection) when some anon IPs were warring back and forth and clogging the page history. Someone had gone to the effort of finding sources for genres but User:Mrbelial, who is likely also User:189.24.99.171 and User:189.24.85.13 (among others) keeps deleting sourced material. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. When we pointed out WP:V, the user expressed an opinion about music magazines, but since then has simply kept reverting without discussing. I have warned the user that one could be blocked for edit warring even without breaking 3RR, and have suggested dispute resolution repeatedly to no avail. If you have a moment to look at this, offer any advice, I would appreciate it very much. I had considered a 3RR report but I don't think the user technically went beyond 3RR. I considered RfC or 3rd-opinion, but that seems unnecessary because all other editors already at the page seem to disagree with Mrbelial. I considered a report to Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts but the user is not communicating at all at this point. Thanks for any suggestions, -- Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 17:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Just curious if you know why a page that the Wikipedia community determined to "Keep" has now been deleted? I couldn't find any information on who deleted the article, but I saw that you had previously commented on it and thought you might have some insight. It seems that people make certain determinations on Wikipedia, especially when it comes to music, based on taste and not facts. For example, someone has included Rod Stewart on a list of hard rock musicians, though Stewart has never recorded anything even vaguely approximating hard rock. I happen to think Syrym is not only a good band, but that they have legitimacy based on both who they are and the bands their members have previously (or currently) been associated with. If you've got any insight into this situation, I'd be grateful for the knowledge. I thought this was supposed to be an encyclopedic volume, not a popularity contest.

I'm not going to go through any dispute resolution as that is pointless. You, as an admin, are omnipotent and can basically get away with writing any rubbish on Wikipedia. The fact that you haven't been challenged yet is simply a reflection on the unimportance of the subject and the perceived lack of integrity of your articles. Carry on.

Hi. I don't know if you are familiar with History merging, but I recommended it in the AfD for List of radio stations in Albuquerque as it is a good way to consolidate the history of a page which has been copy-pasted to another page, when the merged-to page does not contain significant edit history which overlaps the history of the merged-from page. I think this would be appropriate in the case of List of radio stations in Albuquerque which was copy-pasted into Media of Albuquerque. J-stan did this at the closure of the similar AfD for List of radio stations in Shreveport.
P.S. Thank you very much for restoring the California radio lists to my userspace. I do plan on working these into more comprehensive "Media" lists/articles, and am satisfied with the outcome of these more recent AfDs on citywide/regional radio station lists.

Hi. Troubling you again. I got a note from one of the nephew's of Mr. Ghosh, stating that the spelling of the first name has many English variations, but the person Santidev actually use a unique version of his last name, i.e. Ghose and not Ghosh. I tried changing the name on the page heading, but could not. I left a comment on the discussion page on Santidev Ghosh. I did alter the main text to include the Ghose variant to the name, and made it Ghose in the bio data box. Can you advise the best course of action at this point regarding the spelling of the last name on the main page heading? Thanks in advance Tonymitra ( talk) 21:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Here's something where I could use some help from you, Moonriddengirl, if you're interested. I just noticed a comment from Ozzieboy at WT:Criteria for speedy deletion/Templates (general), with a suggested change (inserting something along the lines of "or duplicate pages" or "a page which is an exact duplicate of another page" (latter is my version)) which seems reasonable to me. However, it also seems reasonable to me that if such a change is to be done, the policy (CSD) should be modified first, then the template, and I just replied so. Anyway, if you'd like to help, you can assist in reaching consensus on this, for example perhaps by proposing the suggested change at CSD yourself if you agree with it, or by replying to Ozzieboy with a reason why it wouldn't be a good idea, or some other action. I don't have strong feelings about including the suggestion or not; I just want to make sure that all concerns have been addressed reasonably. (Perhaps just doing nothing is OK too now that I've replied to Ozzieboy's message, anyway.) Thanks. -- Coppertwig ( talk) 18:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
DONE: all the draft templates have been created. See my message at WT:Criteria for speedy deletion#Suggested new wordings for CSD templates. It would be helpful if you would look them over -- perhaps just checking that the wording is reasonable and/or is what was agreed on; I haven't checked them against any changes that have happened meanwhile in the CSD's, for example. I may have made mistakes copying the wording, too. I may be checking some of the programming-type details and hope that Happy-melon will check them over too. Thanks. -- Coppertwig ( talk) 01:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
←I've looked at (and contributed to) one; I'll look at the other in a minute. As opposed to the new templates, I'm not sure how best I can help out. Is there anything specific I can or should do? -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:36, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

and consider whether they represent policy adequately, or whether some of them should be deleted or have their wording changed to correspond more closely to policy (or whether policy needs to be changed to reflect actual template usage). I'm somewhat concerned that G6 is vague and that some of these templates invoke G6 with wording which does not appear at all in the G6 policy. I've tried to make the situation clearer by inserting "Asserted to be non-controversial maintenance" and am not sure if this gets the point across that the other words are not a quote of G6. Maybe you can think of better wording. Also perhaps comment on the redirects and deletions suggested by Happy-melon. Thanks. (Note that due to a quirk in how the templates are implemented, A3 may need to be mentioned twice in blankcsd. It may not be worth the trouble to change that.) --

About the citations, i agree its a problem, but the thing is most of the information comes from hard copy magazines and newspapers which the band provided (in the form of scans) when i e-mailed them!

Re. Alexis Stone Lopez, recently deleted.
I wonder if you could help me understand how to bring this article into compliance. This woman is a strong artist. One of few that received unanimous praise from all three judges on American Idol. Also in a recent Idol compilation, she outsold everyone else on the project. Television appearances have all gone well. In general, people appear very interested in her. She has a lot of MySpace popularity and a general Internet buzz is positive. Current newspaper articles mention her regularly. She is in constant demand on college radio. Perhaps none of these things I have mentioned carry enough weight, or have I just worded them badly? I could mention more of her accomplishments, but it is not my desire to appear self-serving. Your help or advice would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, even that appears to have been deleted. It doesn't appear that any attempt was made to discuss this article with the contributors to it, which leads me to believe that it was deleted based on someone's opinion only. If that is the case, there are a vast number of articles with much less content/value than the Syrym article, and they are all still in existence.

This matter Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christian Polak is a disappointment because you seem to have counted votes, rather than weighing the validity of arguments. Could you explain to me please why this subject is notable. Could you, for instance, point to one independent source that has covered the subject (not just mentioned them in passing), or show me where the subject was cited by independent, reliable sources? Surely if there were valid keep arguments it should be trivially easy to find such a thing. Remarkably, every time we check a reference, we either find that the reference does not say what is claimed in the article, or the reference was written or translated by the subject, so it is not independent.

Hi, thanks for your explanation about removing the speedy tag. That makes a lot of sense. For future reference are there any guidelines about tagging articles for speedy deletion when they are currently being discussed at AFD? I presume it is ok for blatant hoaxes, copyvios etc. In future, should I leave them alone, say for example if there is no assertion of notability? I can see your reasoning in this case, and just wondering the best way to go in the future. Thanks, -- Beloved Freak 14:07, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Please let me know if I should have used a different tag? I can't use bio as it isn't about a person and spam is the only other one I know of. Is there simply a non-notable speedy tag? There's nothing at google that I could find. Didn't want to have to AfD for just a one line article. Any advice you can provide is greatly appreciated. Jasynnash2 ( talk) 14:10, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I believe the language is Arabic. If you go to the main page, it is the second language down, under Simple English. I've no idea what the article is about, or what it says. All I know is that this is the English Wikipedia, and accordingly articles should be in one of the variations of the English language. That is why I tagged it for speedy deletion.

Hi Moonriddengirl :)
You deleted Livemocha on the grounds of significance. I have left a message on the talk page as to why I think it meets significance/notability guildelines. I'm slowly working on improving the article on my user page here. Obviously, it needs work but I think it's appropriate to get up so that people can contribute to it. What needs to be done to get it to the right standard?
I haven't done a lot of editing on Wikipedia, so I apologise for not starting an article that meets the right standards.

The Powerpuff Girls episodes section needs articles for EACH individual episode. But the leader of updating the Cartoonnetwork articles does not want to consider the idea since it came from me. So I need much of your help. I'd go at it alone but I don't know how to create valid articles linked to specific text.
It's would take too long for you to go into detail about the article creation and such. But if you could:
1. Create an article 2. fill it with little tidbits of exclusive information so it doesn't get deleted immediately or mark it with some sort of tag that says it will shortly be updated(by me((it doesn't have to say "by me" specifically but I WILL get to it as soon as you've created it and further fill it up until it is worthy of being called an article))).

Thanks for catching my mistake Moonriddengirl. I think I misread the year wrong on the revisions... it is 2006 and I though it was 2008. I carefully looked through the 2008 revisions to the Poles page and could find no merge, and I could not find any merged content on the current version, so I assumed the content had not been merged because frankly the content at the point of the merge was a little meandering. Anyway, as there was a merge and therefore the edit history is meaningful... my deletion request was inappropriate... thanks for double-checking. -- Marcinjeske ( talk) 03:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but no. Many editors on the page agree that over the past year or longer this user has added nothing to the article except disruptive and sometimes racist comments. For a long time there was a tag on the article, that it was in violation of NPOV (because of its emphasis on views that many considered racist and fringe); he kept removing it. Everytime he removed the tag, someone reverted him (from a range of other editors). Eventually he filed an RfC and the consensus of a great many commentators was that the article violates NPOV. At that point several editors in fact sought mediation. He pointedly and repeatedly refused to support any mediation, and the request was turned down. In fact, a day or two ago he complained that he would go to an administrator and someone reminded him about the discussion concerning mediation - apparently, that is when he turned to you.
This is what is going on: rather than accept mediation, or file a complaint at ArbCom, where he would have to provide a history of evidence and others would provide their own views and additional evidence, Jagz periodically turns to administrators who have not been following the article for the past year and therefore cannot possibly see his pattern of racist and disruptive edits.
So with all due respect, no. If you genuinely wish to help you can volunteer for informal mediation and see whether he and other people active on the page - and perhaps some people who were driven off the page by his persistent racist edits - would agree to groundrules. I would go along with that. Or, advise Jagz to make an application for formal mediation. In the meantime, I will call attention to every disruptive edit he makes, because I do not want to see a Wikipedia article that gives undue weight to fringe racist theories that whites are, for genetic reasons, of superior intelligence to blacks.

Moonriddengirl, I just read both of your extentsive and thoughtful replies on my talkpage. You are right: I would like a community ban of Jagz from the article. I am afraid nothing you will say at this point will change my mind. If I am a minority of one, my views will indeed go nowhere and hey, maybe I will get blocked or banned from the page! I just do not think I am alone, or that the evidence is against me. For a very long time I assumed good faith and treated Jagz as a well-intentioned editor. After a very long time of contentious editing, a few things are now very clear to me: he knows nothing, absolutely nothing, about the topic; he is a racist; his agenda is to ensure that racist fringe views are included in the article, and he has an array of strategies for disruptive editing. The current one is a paerfect example, "all I want ..." - the section he is talking about ... we cannot get around content here ... is fundamentally fringed and racist. No geneticist would dispute that there is a genetic component to intelligence. But no geneticist supports the claim that IQ differences between different races (and races are social constructs, not genetic populations) are genetic. The only people who make this claim are non-experts and racists. It is a fringe view that should not be provided alongside other explanations for IQ test result differences discussed by mainstream scientists. When I and several editors pointed this out to Jagz, we went back and forth for over a month where Jagz kept saying that he would not accept any deletion of fringe views until someone explained to him why they were deleting it. Everyone someone provided an explanation, he just said, "I am just asking for an explanation." Out of countext, his line seems well-intentioned and constructive. In context, it was just a cleverly disguised form of trolling. When he insisted that there have been genetic discoveries supporting his view, I asked him to provide a reliable source for just one discovery, and he ignored me. I asked him about a half dozen times just for him to provide anything of substance to support his claim and he ignored me. Obviously, there have not been any such discoveries, or Jagz simply does not know about them, i.e. he refuses to do any research. Again, out of context his claim that there have been many discoveries in genetics about the genetic baiss for differences in racial intelligence sounds like the reasonable comment of an editor who has researched the topic. In fact, it was just pure bullshit. nd after a half dozen rounds of "Please give us one example of such a discovery," Jagz' line now is "all I have wanted all along is for you to edit this section." In context, it is trolling. If you do not know the history of the discussion, it seems reasonable unless you start thinking - who is Jagz to invite someone to edit an article? Why is he making this request? In fact, we have made edits to the article, and have been criticizing racist and unsupported edits, or edits reflecting fringe views, jagz has put in the article. This is the context for his latest request: it is clear that several editors think an entire section in the article gives undue weight to racist views and should be deleted, and his response is that we should edit it to make it good. That implies that we have knowledge of genetics that wouldimprove the section, when we have spent six months to a year explaining to him that our knowledge of genetics leads us to delete this section or minimize it to a footnote. In this context, his request is really disingenuous provocation, an example of trolling.
Maybe this is more than you wanted to hear but since you left two more comments on my page I felt you deserved a response. Jagz is a racist troll who is an ignoramous about research on race and intelligence and who moreover refuses to do anything approaching serious research required for scientific articles. If this were the Evolution article and he kept proposing to add creationist crap I assure you he would be treated the same way ... and if he persisted for a year in his attempts to push fringe views in the article, many people would indeed stop asuming good faith ... but I doubt that any admin then tell editors at the Evolution page to giv him another chance or be more open to his suggestions.

Hi. I'm new to contributing articles on wikipedia. I'd like some opinions about this article/bio I contributed. My plan is to contribute bios for other art bloggers/writers of note like Edward Winkleman and Tyler Greene once I finish with the Sherwin bio. Do you have any suggestions? For example, should I mentioned the Alexa ranking of the Myartspace Blog? ( Roodhouse1 ( talk) 14:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC))
←*Response Hi. I'm sorry it took me longer to get back to you than I had believed it would. I'm afraid that I haven't been able to come up with anything specifically helpful. :/ I've done some searching on google, but didn't disclose any sourcing of the sort that I would usually include. Because of that, my suggestions remain very general.
Authors fall under the specific section of the notability guidelines for "creative professionals". There are some specific benchmarks that other contributors to Wikipedia look for here. First, if the gentleman has been the subject of discussion of multiple unrelated reliable sources, he passes by the general criteria. Those would be news media or magazines, as I said, or could also include unrelated, reputable websites. Other possible points include the following, each of which require specific verification through reliable sources.
Things I would be looking for in your position would be:
Good luck, and I do hope that some of this helps. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
As I think I mentioned I'm new. I don't think that matters but I do think things here are a bit unfair. For example, the Brian Sherwin bio was deleted within minutes the first few times I tried working on it. No debate, no talks. Just deleted as if for personal reasons. So I think it is unfair for it to be marked as repeatedly deleted when it was deleted without cause the prior times. I don't really agree with the voting on here because some people end up going along with past vote statements that have nothing to do with the status of the bio at present meaning they did not even bother to read what they are voting on. Not to mention that several votes for delete contain wild assumptions and false information that had nothing to do with the bio at hand. I've seen bios about sports figures on here and the only thing notable about them is the team they played for but an interviewer and writer documenting contemporary art culture through over 400 interviews with artists like Michael Craig-Martin and James Rosenquist is not?

Hi. That did not go over well. I guess I did not understand.( Roodhouse1 ( talk) 14:00, 9 May 2008 (UTC))
Strong evidence? I think when someone votes delete per someone else's opinion when that opinion is proven wrong by the current state of the bio there is a problem. He obviously based his opinion on the opinion of the other voter instead of reading the current bio. This can lead one to assume many things. Did someone send him there for the delete vote? Did he do it for brownie points? I'll assume all I want when assumptions and false information is deciding votes on an article I've taken time to write. The bio never said anything about Sherwin being the creator of the Myartspace site and I don't think the notability (or lack thereof) of myartspace should have anything to do with a bio about a writer, interviewer, and art critic that has been published both online and offline. Interviewing 400 artists in just a couple of years is worthy of note when you consider that most of the major art publications interview two or three artists per month. I asked the other guy to look at the bio again as well and in his eyes a person is not notable unless they have been in the New York Times. Which I think is a great error and I believe putting those obstacles before bios goes against what wikipedia is about or what I thought it was about. (

"Delete as NN; the website he's notable for (myartspace) wouldn't even meet notability; even if it did, there have been a great many AfDs for a NN creator of a notable website. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 19:50, 6 May 2008 (UTC)"
"Delete per JeremyMcCracken. BWH76 (talk) 06:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)"
So in your eyes this is balanced voting? This is acceptable? As I mentioned on the debate page after JeremyMcCracken's statement, Sherwin is NOT the creator of Myartspace and the notability (or lack of notability) of Myartspace is not on trial here. So it would appear that BWH76 did not even bother to read the bio or the statements I made after JeremyMcCracken's vote on the debate page. Have I violated Wikipedia etiquette?

Hi. I appreciate your time and concern. So it is OK to vote without looking at the bio or article?

Hi, there! On your user page you claim that you:

I have not yet encountered any kind of ownership issues, and I don't want to. :)"
But have you ever, say, posted a person's unpublished CV and arranged for it to be cited on the web, in order to shoehorn unverified information into a biography article?

Hi Moonriddengirl. Thank you for your helpful comments regarding the Motocade article. As a somewhat disinterested person just looking for information of a mildly famous band from New Zealand I was surprised that no Wikipedia article existed. I see someone did a very poor start that was marked as vandalism and I was hoping to create something that at least could be built upon by actual fans. I guess there must be hundreds of garage bands nobody has heard of trying to create their own article so admins must keep an eye out. Anyhow I have decided to forget about it but I do appreciate your input.

Hi, thank you for your accessment of the Arise (album) page. Musicaindustrial ( talk) 11:40, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice, i've added the personnel from AMG now. Actually i've used that quite a lot but never noticed the credits section before! Do you rate song articles as well? If so i'd appreciate some input on Song to the Siren too. It's like working in a dark hole with Tim Buckley articles! Sillyfolkboy ( talk) 16:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Moonriddengirl, I requested a deletion of Wikipedia:User access levels/archivelist earlier today, which you deleted, you also deleted Wikipedia talk:User access levels/archivelist, which is used in the archive box of Wikipedia talk:User access levels, could you undelete it? -- Snigbrook (talk) 16:17, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I've been lucky to work with you over the past few weeks, and I've had the opportunity to truly harness your attitude, which is relentingly positive. Thank you. Rudget ( Help?) 16:29, 9 May 2008 (UTC) |
I am sorry. The article had just one edit and I presumed Waltham Town Lock to be a lock manufacturing company.- Ravichandar My coffee shop 17:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
