Sorry, I didn't realize it was a reference, it looked like it was just sitting at the bottom of the article. Since the parliament bio in most articles is listed an external link, I thought that was the intention. I won't put them in external link sections anymore. Cmr08 ( talk) 04:24, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Hey Ponyo! Thanks for the shiny, sparkley thing. Would love your help rounding up bodies for the meetup. I have made an invitation template, please substitute your name for mine and we can tag team Category:Wikipedians in British Columbia. You want to start at the bottom, and I'll start at the A's?
The Interior cordially invites you to the
Vancouver Wikipedia 10th Anniversary Meetup! It is being held at
Benny's Bagels at 2505 W Broadway. Meetup will start at 6:30pm. Drop by for some Wikipedia-style conviviality and
free gear! Feel free to forward this invitation to any Wikipedians who might be able to attend, and visit the
discussion page to suggest activities. Hope to see you there and have a Happy 2011!
Thanks again, The Interior (Talk) 23:10, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
I was starting to feel I'd slipped down Lewis Carroll's rabbit hole. Your observations about the result of my nomination came at a most opportune moment. I lost a lot of sleep over this last night. Your note on my talk page was a tonic. I hereby award you 1000 non-redeemable, non-transferrable points. (Void where prohibited by law. Offer may not be available in all states.

For the work on Daniel Cohen (economist), I had not thought of looking at the french version of WP--that's a good idea and I'll remember that for the future. -- Nuujinn ( talk) 16:45, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
I'll try to find some sources. I was in doubt if I should include them or if they were somewhat unnecessary, since it's a public person with some notoriety. But if not, then first thing tomorrow I'll make a search. It could be better just to add a citation needed tag for a while with a warning as you gave me instead of deleting but thanks for the warning anyway! Konakonian ( talk) 19:16, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Resolutely ignoring the snow and the packing I should be doing, I spent quite a bit of time expanding Oleg Grabar and also created a new article for his also-noted-art-historian father André Grabar.
In response to your edit summary at my talk page, there are a lot of museums, alumni associations, etc. who run tours and enlist people to amuse and/or educate the paying guests. The "payment" for lecturers is typically the free trip with all expenses paid, but said expenses typically run to many thousands of dollars. So if you have credentials plus a love of teaching and traveling, that might be something that you could also do yourself. :-) betsythedevine ( talk) 20:01, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
After reading this discussion you participated in, I decided to compile an article on Jack Towers since I had already done sourcing for Duke Ellington at Fargo, 1940 Live. I had thought maybe WP:BLP1E precluded a separate article on Towers at the moment but a rummaged up another cite or two that should be enough. Please check the draft at User talk:AjaxSmack/Sandbox/Jack Towers if you're interested or have input. Thanks. — AjaxSmack 23:19, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi. It looks like User:Owen the Kid was warned once before about creating inappropriate articles. I left him a stronger warning.

Hi! I noticed your RfA, which seems to be going very well, and I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.
If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!
You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).
I hope to hear from you soon.-- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 14:53, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
All I did was adding the categories of him being Polish-American and Jewish-American. I think this is obvious that he is one, because his paternal grandfather Arthur Rubinstein was a Polish Jew and paternal grandmother Nela Rubinstein, nee Młynarska, was Polish. They identified themselves Polish, so you can read about Arthur Rubinstein's acts of patriotism in the article on him. If he had Polish and Polish-Jewish grandparents, isn't he an American of Polish descent and an American of Jewish descent (not an American Jew, as we don't know about his religious beliefs)?? His father is categorised as a Polish-American and you didn't change this. Why? dd —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.28.14.121 ( talk) 22:28, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, it's worth a lot. I've seen Malik Shabazz a lot, and have a lot of respect for him, so I didn't take that decision lightly.

Hi Ponyo, thanks for all the help so far re: the Rudi Bass article. Can you tell me how to switch his article over from articles about living persons to the section about non-living persons (deceased)?

Trying not to use any disparaging language, but you are a bit of a tool - more specifically a Canadian tool - who should know where the limitations of their knowledge resides. You have deleted a (yes, poorly written) article for the 5th time, not fully realising that the personage (football, or soccer for you, player) is of national interest. Not Canadian national interest, but British. Thus, hundreds, thousands perhaps, are going to the page looking for some information. I - a non-wiki contributor - did what I could to quickly correct the inaccuracies, and horrific writing and to cite the information better. As I'm only a lowly Oxford DPhil student I accept that I know little of the formulaic standards or conventions of your strange wiki world. The article was left in crude, though generally correct, shape - for fanatics like you to then polish to their hearts content into something useful. You, however, re-deleted it in about 20 seconds without thinking there may be something in this wide world outside the scope of your limited knowledge ("Articles are not created in anticipation of notability"). Are all people from BC in a position to decide what constitutes notoriety 5000 miles away, or is it just you??
The way it had been left, at least the millions of Liverpool and England football fans (that's soccer for you) would be able to get some basic bio information on the person who is about to replace Michael Owen in the national consciousness (again, I expect a blank stare from you). Of course this enormous group of non-canadian readers could go to the recently published article by Sky Sports, BBC Sport, The Guardian, The Times, The Independent, the LA Times etc. to get information about this apparently "Non Notable Athlete", but I assume part of the function of Wikipedia is that they shouldn't have to. I was particularly impressed on how you deleted the page after, I'm sure, not having read the edits - just assuming it was same old. In fact, now (or until you deleted it) it was short and correct, and would have been added to over the next week. As it stands, others - not you - will have to start from scratch.
Long story short, you should probably confine yourself to your fish bowl in future (I would think that would encompass the Pacific North West, but that might be stretching it). And as I know your response will be blah blah wiki protocol blah blah has to be in the Vancouver Sun or they aren't famous...you can save it. As I mentioned, I'm only a humble academic and not an elevated, pompous wiki "git" like you.
Best,

Hello Ponyo,
Nice meeting you. I saw you deleted "Wormhole web conference"
I can't understand the reason why because there are at least 20 other pages talking about different Web conferences services and products and none of them were deleted.
It is not an advertisement page but a way to show another provider and that is why I published part of the story of the team that might inspire other entrepreneurs.
Thanks a lot for your time

Hi, I added a page for 80/90s actress Lori Lethin as I noticed she doesn't have a wikipedia page. She has many movie and television credits, so this isn't a name I am making up.

Hello,
I've just logged in to find the article on AFACT deleted for the reason of "A7: Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject)"
The organisation "AFACT" is currently embroiled in a landscape changing lawsuit against Australian ISP iiNet, the outcome of which will change the politics, policy and laws concerning fair use, internet access and copyright for decades.
The document "AFACT" is linked from several other wikipedia web pages - indicating that an article describing what an "AFACT" is needs to exist.
The page submitted did state what the significance of this entry is. Terms of:
1. This is a company formed in Australia comprised of American companies
2. This is a company deemed to be acting in bad faith - the name "Australian .... " is misleading - given that the organisations behind this company are Americian.
3. AFACT is currently suing an Australian ISP in an attempt to change Australian copyright law enforcement. This case may soon go to the high court of Australia.
Given this information, as it was provided, I would like to know how the information provided has been deemed to be non-important or insignificant
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MattDeBlack ( talk • contribs) 04:35, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, is the following article ok? Groarke ( talk) 22:39, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
The club is situated at "Inishleena Recreation Area" on the northern shore of Inniscarra Lake, just west of Inniscarra Dam in County Cork. Here sailors and kayakers do not have to worry about reading tide tables or dealing with tidal currents. The hills around the lake provide more protection from the more severe winds encountered on the Cork coastline.
The lake provides ideal conditions for racing radio controlled one meter sailboats with smaller waves than those experienced on the coastline. The Irish National IOM Championships were held at the club in 2010 and the 2011 Southern Championships are due to be held at the club in November.
Other water sports held on the lake include rowing at the National Rowing Centre upstream at Farran Woods and water skiing at Cork Powerboat & Waterski Club in Dripsey.
The club holds kayaking and sailing events throughout the year. The most popular events are the Sunday morning sailing sessions at 10:30 am and the midweek kayaking sessions to Griffins Garden Centre for coffee or tea.
The main events of the year are usually held in September with the Commodore's Shield for kayakers and the Commodore's Cup for dinghy sailors
The club is a Category 1 member of the Irish Sailing Association and organises ISA accredited sail training and powerboat courses.
For further information and contact details, visit the club's website www.corksailing.com
Looking at the deletion log for that page, I think it's time to give it a dose of salt. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい) 03:37, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Article: October's Very Cold
What: A remix (mashup) album (free) by producer Chi Duly using sampled material from Drake and Coldplay
Similar to: The Grey Album or Mos Dub
Notability: Not sure. It does have 37 full pages of relevant google results. It also has significantly high marks attached to it on The Hype Machine. There are no major newspaper or magazine articles about it. Of the music blogs that wrote about it, only 7 are Hype Machine blogs. Also in comparison to another wiki article about an unauthorized remix album Mos Dub , there are 6 times as many relevant google results for "Octobers Very Cold", which appears to assert this being one of the most talked about projects of it's kind in 2010 (there are probably more of these types of work emerging than most would think).
Copyright issue: precedents set by The Grey Album and others would point to this work as a fair use. The vocals tracks used from artist Drake were released by label affiliated digital record pools with the intention of encouraging remix material. As far as the Coldplay content, their official website has endorsed past uses similar to October's Very Cold.
I am writing in response to the speedy deletion of the article. I'm new to wikipedia. I have no suggestions or requests for you, only questions that I wasn't able to spot clear answers for on the "Whydeleted" page.
I actually didn't intend on publishing the article though. I just wanted to work on it and wasn't able to google or wiki the answer on how to work before submitting to become an entry. I'm fine with working on the article in sandbox but WAIIIT lol - I believe it is something others will be legitimately interested in editing as there are tons of sources to sort through, and leaving it to an amature such as myself may not be as efficient in.
Final questions:
Was it deleted because the producer is not a notable musician with a wiki page? Should the producer's page be created first?
I started this page under a nickname that is not my government name. I may be overly apprehensive about giving out that info. Is this account a waste of time because of that? Should I delete it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrickDudris ( talk • contribs) 03:10, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Dear Ponyo,
You have deleted the 'antenarrative page.' However, I believe that the term antenarrative is in widespread use both at theory and as methodology in the social sciences. The original page had references to published works on the topic of antenarrative, as well as relationships to the structuralist work of Derrida and the critical discourse work of Bakhtin.
I would like the page reconsidered, since I believe that antenarrative has been demonstrated in theory, method and practice in quite a number of scholarly, peer-reviewed publications, not just by me, but by a host of other scholars.
Here is the published work on 'antenarrative' which is beyond the original work I did as the creator of the theory.

Ponyo- I understand that the Freeman's page looked perhaps like advertisement. But the foundation was being laid for a more significant article. Additionally, all the things in that article were legitimate claims (freeman's IS America's oldest auction house).. and the services they provide are ones that people request information about frequently. All "editorial" or "Subjective" claims in the article were sourced from external authors and publications.

Hi, I was about to create a page for the band The Defiled as surprisingly there wasn't one and they have a large following.
I then saw you had deleted one that seems to be about them.
I wondered if I could use this as a starting point and also what it was about the article that you thought was advertising.
I didn't write it but wanted to make sure why so I don't do the same.

Hey JP. I remember from your RFA you mentioning that you are a Werner fan. Me too. I just rewatched Burden of Dreams, the doc about the making of Fitzcarraldo. It is truly amazing what the man went through to get the film made. I don't think there is any other filmmaker who pursues his dreams with such dedication. I'd like to expand our stub article for B.o.D., hopefully 5X so it can go up on DYK. I've copied the stub over to my userspace: User:The Interior/Under Construction/Burden of Dreams, and put a few links to some good sources on the talk page. I'm going to tinker away at it for the next week or two, if you'd like to help, please do. (If you haven't seen the film yet, you simply gotta. I think there's a copy at the VPL).

Ponyo: Can you please let me know why you deleted the link to my Mason Jennings site "Bird Wings Beat" from the Mason Jennings article? As stated in the Discussion for the page, I'm familiar with #11 of WP:LINKSTOAVOID, but I believe the site is still important to include on the article because it provides resources unavailable elsewhere (specifically, complete lyrics and discography). I don't want to reinstate the link immediately, I'd like to get your input first. I am the creator and maintainer of the site in question, but receive no money from the site (there are no ads or sponsorship) and have no incentive for reinstating the link besides serving people interested in Mason Jennings.

Hi,
I am taking a second look at this db-nocontext I raised - here - on what at the time was an article of two words "Florida park" and wondering about the claim that this was too bitey. You later validly declined the speedy on the basis of the improvements that were made and I wondered if you had any thoughts about tagging an article so early after creation even if it does fit the criteria? The reason I'm asking is that I notice similar articles frequently in IGLOO, which by their nature have only been just created, and perhaps I might be better off just consistently skipping them or tagging with weaker improvement notices rather than jumping to speedy.

Hello,
I have been trying to work on editing an article on Rudi Bass. I put in my working article and it is edited in some form not giving me a chance to finish what I have started. If I do this in my area (MrsHayward) area as a working document will people have access to it? It was an unfortunate by working title to call it "Personal Life", perhaps "Creative Life"?
I am struggling a bit with getting the references to link, and to cite external links (if relevant). I know there are help pages, but I find they are less than easy to find and sometimes a bit difficult to follow. I really need a working area to get my head around this. An example of one of my problems is the reference to the work Rudi contributed to the American Church in Paris which is shown on their web page - is this a legitmate refernce and how do I make it?
I see from looking around Wikipedia others are having the same problem.
Any advice, support is appreciated.

In response to your performance of the deletion of the article entitled "Alyssa Shouse", what exactly do you refer to when you state "Does not point out the significance of the subject?" what do you mean by significane? I stated clearly that she has become widely famous across America & the rest of the world and that she is a pop star working with Jason Derulo, a widely recognized american musical artist? I am not debating your actions but I am just in wonder of what I did wrong and would like to know how I can make articles in a correct fashion that will not result in their deletion.

Dear Ponyo,
I noticed that you deleted a page I wrote about Alana Lee's song "Butterflies". I have read your reasons for deletion and I have not found any reason why the page should have been removed. You might have seen that I did not quote any sources - you would be wrong in assuming that this was because there were not any! I used the ARK Music Factory website and starcasm.net, as well as my own observations on the number of views on YouTube videos; I think you will agree that there is nothing unreliable about these sources. I write Wikipedia articles because I am committed to adding to the sum of human knowledge. With Rebecca Black's song Friday being so topical in the digital world this very moment, it is a true fact that Alana Lee's Butterflies has become far more popular than it initially was and is notable by any definition of the word. I ask you to restore the article so that my hard work in research and my time do not go to waste, and so that the world can always turn to Wikipedia as a source for knowledge. Thank you for reading this message, and I hope you can reply soon.

Hi Ponyo. What exactly is a Comments page on a Talk page? You don't see too many of those. The one good edit was made in 2006, and it probably belonged on the Talk page itself, rather than on the Talk/Comments page. And 5 years later, the main article has 21 references. So what is the purpose of keeping this Talk/Comments page? There has been a problem with Talk/Comments pages on British topics attracting sockpuppets. That is my reason for tidying up here.

Hi, a couple of months ago you put in place a PP for Dave Hensman, a consequence of some undue weight, POV-pushing additions that may also have involved socks and COI. The PP has expired and the campaign has restarted. At least one of the users - which is an SPA - has had a full set of warnings and also advice from myself and another editor regarding how to deal with the situation in a manner that might be acceptable to WP, but has today continued regardless. The warnings are spread over a period since February & so probably won't result in a block. Can it be protected again? What else could we do? I have thought of adding the info myself in a more acceptable way but, tbh, a $2,500 fine is nothing in the context where it applies & this is why I suspect POV/COI etc + don't feel confident about having it there at all, true though it may be. - Sitush ( talk) 14:23, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Just out of interest. Looking through the edit history shows that the date of birth was changed a number of times to the correct date and you reverted it back to the incorrect date, citing the lack of references. However, there was no reference cited for the original, wrong date of birth either. Is there some page on wikipedia that talks about how this kind of thing is worked out?

Hello Ponyo
I regret to inform that you appear to have deleted my user page. Hopefully this was a mistake but it looks like it may not have been as I think you refer to the page as being a copy. It is in fact my original page with veryfiable personal information I have provided about myself.
As you can see there have been quite a lot of comments put in my user talk and as a new user I have been amazed and disappointed to find a large number of statements about me which are either rude or untrue. This really has changed my view about Wikipedia which until now I thought had high standards and was a good source of accurate information.
I have tried to reply to some of the users who often use names such as yourself to conceal their identities but although 'Vquakr?' and others sound friendly I have not received any answers to questions I have raised and I very much hope you can address this in the near future.
I hope you can re-instate my user page or help set up a Wikipedia entry for me if you still have the information - I very much appreciate positive activity rather than any destructive actions which take time to correct and are necessarily a drain on all our resources.
Thank you for your assistance

Hi Ponyo

Please note all Wikipedians are invited to enter information about themselves on their user page (unlike the requirements for an article) and you have deleted personal information which was provided in good faith.
Wikipedia was invented to collate factual and verifiable information. This requires diligence and not aggression, malice or biased opinion.
If you are genuinely interested in pursuing actions which violate the purpose of Wikipedia you may care to investigate some of the previous contributors to my user page such as the comments that I have worked with Andrew Lloyd Webber which are untrue.
Please restore the accurate information if you can and this will be much appreciated.

Thanks for the info, but zowie it's a bizarro world I've stumbled into. Pure Alice in Wonderland. One can't see what's been deleted because if it's deleted they're not allowed to see it. Some tautology. Then tautology meets the Star Chamber, as you can't see it but others have and judged that it should not be seeable. Oppositely, of course if it were seeable, then - depending entirely on what it was and why it should not be seeable - it would be seeable, and it shouldn't be seen. Jeeze. A copyright violation I can see, but taken to extreme it's a mighty letter of the law defense. Such things, however, don't matter as all violations are violations and red kings and black queens should all take one step back.

I asking for your help as I see you have dealt with the user Rusted AutoParts before. Earlier this week, I discovered many factual errors in the deaths section on the page 1994 in film. Most of the names in the deaths table were of people who actually died in 2010, not 1994. I cleaned up the table, deleted all the names that didn't belong and started adding names of actual people who died in 1994. User Rusted AutoParts keeps reverting my changes claiming he is in charge of editing the page and this is the way he does it. This seems crazy to me, as purposely posting false information on a page goes against everything Wikipedia stands for. The false data he is placing there isn't just there for a few moments but for days at a time while he edits the page. This is also going on for other "year in film" pages. I want to correct this and get all the false info removed, but it is just resulting in an edit war. I put a not on his user page, which he deleted, and one on the talk page for "1994 in film", which will also probably get deleted. What should the next step be? I appreciate any help or advice you can provide. Thanks. BurienBomber ( talk) 23:54, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Dear Ponyo,
To be honest, I hesitated before accepting these changes, mainly because of the removal of cn tag. Finally, I accepted to change because specific detail was added and the tag was several month old (sept. 2010). I though a source added since may have referenced this passage. Mistakenly though, I did not check nor the history neither the references for the exactitude of the added information.
Thank you for correcting my mishap.

Hello Ponyo
Thank you again for your interest in my autobiographical entry. As you can see although not a skilled Wikipedia user I am a perfectionist and like to follow up all comments in detail responding to as many users as possible who open a debate. You are right in that I would have hoped for a better outcome but my main concern is to maintain the integrity of information that is placed in a public arena on a respected internet site.
I disagree on the issue of self promotion as without that concern much of Wikipedia would probably not have been created. Many friends and people with vested interests in subjects have created fine articles. I think Wikipedia and it's users would be better to admit that. It would become transparent and more valuable as a result.
However I am always interested in working within existing frameworks and respecting traditions and I am sorry if my edits have given an impression that was not the case. The reason I moved deleted content back to my user page was because I wanted to save valuable information that had taken time to prepare and Vquakr kindly suggested this on my talk page. I believe there are various ways of compiling information on a user page to allow an autobiography.
Yours sincerely

"Are you saying that despite all of this information you were unable to to "identify the subject of the article"? --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 13:20, 15 April 2011 (UTC)"
I think you are confusing "subject" with "topic". The subject of an article is the specific thing the article is about, not the general topic such as "buildings" or "parks".
To begin with, it is impossible to tell from the article whether Villa Giulia is a house, a hotel, an ancient monument or some other kind of "building". It is also impossible to tell whether the "park" is part of the same complex or something completely unrelated to the building. I take it you would have had no objection if I had deleted this article as not offering any evidence or claim of notability.
Cross-references to another wikipedia are of no use in clarifying the subject of an article unless one happens to be a speaker of the language of that wikipedia, and are therefore irrelevant in this respect. Deb ( talk) 14:13, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

His comment appears to suggest that the tag can be kept their indefinitely and was posted after I told him I would have appreciated his discussing a photo image size reduction with me, or show me the "wiki rule" stating limits of photo size...

Kai Merckx —Preceding unsigned comment added by Merckx24 ( talk • contribs) 13:09, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
My primary concern is that the article, as written, contained just one single sentence of complete prose, namely Ring of Fire is a neoclassical/progressive/power metal band from Chula Vista, California formed in 2000., while the entire rest of the article consisted solely of bulleted lists. Even if the band has notable members, the article has to actually explain that — it's not good enough to just list their names without giving any actual context to explain that they're notable. And it didn't have any sources, either, so strictly from looking at the article itself I have no way of knowing whether it actually had notable members or just obscure wannabes who happened to have the same name as some more notable people. (I do realize that it most likely was the real people — but as verifiability goes, it's the job of the Ring of Fire article to make that explicit up front, not the job of the reader to go clicking on the musicians' individual articles to see whether they mention a band called Ring of Fire or not.)
And it's also important to remember that speedy or prod deletion doesn't mean that the band can never have an article; if someone comes along and writes a better one which makes notability more apparent, that'll be perfectly fine. It just means the band can't have that particular article as written. And you certainly also have the choice of restoring it if you choose, but it needs a hell of a lot of work before it'll actually be keepable. When you get right down to it, the criterion isn't "topic does not have any notability", it's "article doesn't explain the notability of the topic" — and there is a difference. Even our article on Stephen Harper could be deleted if it somehow failed to actually say that he's the Prime Minister of Canada. Bearcat ( talk) 17:28, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

The page I wrote was deleted in March: Don Sahli. The listed reason is copyright infringement. The reference of the infringement, Folger Gallery, is writing that I wrote for them. The copyrighted material is my material. Please let me know if I can do anything to remedy this or how I can get Don Sahli back on Wiki. I collect Don Sahli's work and have been long time follower, along with many, many collectors/artist around the globe. He is a notable, famous artist with work in galleries around the United States and 30 years of documented art career in notable magazines and newspapers. Don Sahli's name was also added to the Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Bongart. Sahli was the last apprentice to Sergei Bongart and many of us that follow them both would like to see the connection and mention on Wiki.
Thank you for your work for Wiki and if you have any questions, please contact me - so we can work to add Don Sahli back to Wiki.

Hello. As for Shraddha Kapoor, I'd like to say that she really is born in 1987. I know someone who has studied with her in Boston University, but if you need more proof, go to http://www.pipl.com. Type Shraddha Kapoor. You can see her old myspace profile which really says she is 24 years of age...which means she is born in 1987. Keep clicking "search" if you can't see the profile. She uploaded her picture on Feb 27, 2007-4 years ago, before she decided to become an actress. There are many fake profiles of hers on the internet, but these are post 2010...so obviously that what makes the profile fake. This particular profile was made before 2010.
Plus, it's very common for actresses to lie about their ages. She's taking 2 years off her age. She probably realizes that she is a star and she must take a few years off her age. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Disgrl ( talk • contribs) 02:48, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Where do you suggest I start looking for "reliable sources" of the critisism directed at Adam Sessler's Evo 2010 commentary? -- FLStyle ( talk) 14:00, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Dear Jezebel'sPonyo, I am Rockfeather, the editor who added a new section to the Wells Tower bio page about an essay that was critical of Tower's work. I did this months ago. Recently, my contribution caught the attention of another editor named Foolzgold who duly deleted it. We went back and forth many times, Foolzgold and I, re-inserting and deleting the section in turns, sometimes a dozen times in a 24-hour period. It got to be quite silly, but I persisted because I believe my contribution is legitimate. A few days ago an editor named Bbb23 got involved and did a good -- and by that I mean honest and fair -- job of refereeing the tit-for-tat, cleaning up language that didn't appear to be neutral, reorganizing sections, etc.
Now you have weighed in on the matter. You have declared that the essay in question is not worthy of inclusion on Tower's Wikipedia bio page. In fact, I see now that you have deleted it outright and warned others not to "undo" your deletion without some sort of consensus on the appropriate "Talk" page. I do not believe your deletion came after the consensus you apparently seek, having joined the conversation only hours ago. But I do agree with your comment on the noticeboard that Paul Maliszewski, the author of the essay, is merely "one individual expressing their personal opinion." I would only ask that you consider the larger question raised by your assessment: what literary criticism is not, in effect, based on personal opinion? Michiko Kakutani's? Edmund White's? Are their judgments based in some empirical form of literary criticism? Of course not. What separates their opinions from those of the casual blogger is that they make well-crafted and sound arguments to support their opinions. And to that end, so does Maliszewski. He is a published author with two books to his credit, and the Brooklyn Rail is not his personal web page. It is a serious literary journal. I would argue that the very occasion of this disagreement is reason enough to include mention of Maliszewski's essay in the "Awards and critical reception" section. After all, is that not what Wikipedia is all about? Encouraging divergent input from the widest possible range of verifiable sources?-- Rockfeather ( talk) 03:42, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
I'm registering my objection to your deletion of my entry and the reasons given for it. It's not consistent with other Wikipedia articles on other writers. For instance, look at Malcolm Gladwell's page. It has a long section about the critical reception of his work, which includes many direct quotes from many individual critics with divergent opinions. This paragraph stood out, which I will quote here:
Malcom Gladwell is a popular, best-selling writer with a broad following among critics and readers. There can be no doubt that those critical of his work represent the viewpoint of "a tiny minority." Would his Wikipedia page then be improved by removing the above paragraph, according to the rules you cite? Of course not. Removing it would in fact diminish the relevance of Gladwell's Wiki page by turning it into a promotional vehicle for Gladwell's work. And this is precisely what you have done with the Tower article. -- Rockfeather ( talk) 15:39, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
It seems the message is: tough luck, pal. Your decision to erase the material is not up for debate. But any decision to put the material back in is eternally debatable until some fuzzy consensus coalesces, which only you can determine, and after which the decision to restore the material is, still, completely in your hands. Wikipedia: all the trappings of a democratic process with the efficiency of a dictatorship.-- Rockfeather ( talk) 16:44, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
I didn't say Wikipedia was a democracy. I said it has all the trappings of a democracy: the emphasis on compromise and discussion and civility and process with all the attendant rules and guidelines that go with it. It is more like a dreary bureaucracy in some faded East Bloc state. In the end, an administrator or someone with the right set of keys can parachute in, delete information based not on knowledge of the subject but rather on an acute familiarity with bureaucratic protocol, and hand it back to the editorial minion with instructions to come to a consensus. Well, you see chief, we were in the process of coming to a consensus...- Rockfeather ( talk) 17:48, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
I must tell you that regardless of whether I agree with you, your deft approach in communicating your points effectively and diplomatically is admirable.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 23:32, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Good day Ponyo. The reason for dropping the Category:Portuguese politician category was that article it was already nested within the Category:Azorean politician category (which itself was within the Portuguese politician category). This is in line with the exist Categorization convention about diffusing categories. Also, one other point mentions the fact that "Each article should be placed in all of the most specific categories to which it logically belongs". By having a nested article in both the specific and general category seem to me to be redundant based on those two conventions. Mind you, that is my opinion. If you decide to revert the recategorization edit that I made, please provide me with an explanation. I will not likely dispute you on this, since my experience with Wikipedia categorization has been limited to the Wikimedia Commons, which uses the same categorization specificity. Ruben JC (Zeorymer) ( talk) 16:16, 16 June 2011 (UTC) - hmmmm. Just noticed.

Repeating the same on the site was however an obvious mistake that we didn't realize!
Now the content is removed from the external site with a shorter info, and the same article (since more descriptive and suited to Wiki in format) is created as a draft. But we are unable to Move it for review.

(NOTE: THIS POST WAS ALSO POSTED ON THE TALK PAGES OF WIKIPEDIA EDITORS HOWCHENG, AND RON RITTMAN, WHO ALSO HAD A HAND IN DELETING THIS WIKIPEDIA ENTRY)
Hi Ponyo
Your deletion of Dr. David Boje's work in quantum physics and storytelling, and his concept of ANTENARRATIVE, is THE single most egregious and unfortunate edit I've ever seen on Wikipedia. Please allow it to be reposted, or re-post it yourself, if that's possible.
I have made my entire career (30+ years) in the storytelling business, from working as the publicist on the original TRON, when I had to explain to the news and entertainment media how a new technology (CGI) was going to change filmmaking forever (I also wrote the book the Art of TRON)...to when I produced the website for the first 'Toy Story' film and subsequently participated fully in the construction of early internet narratives...to today, when I use improvisation and (improvisational) game structure to help our clients generate productive business narratives in networks...
I am an expert in narrative, Ponyo. And I have never read anything more relevant to the future of narrative than Dr. Boje's work. We are, I believe, entering an era akin to the shift that took place at the end of the last century, when machines began giving way to information systems, and Newtonian physics to quantum mechanics. Today, like then, the old narratives are tired, and have sapped of their economic vitality (nowhere more so than in the U.S.). We need 'new story creation' on a unprecendented scale, and this effort will, of necessity, require what I call quantum narratives. These narratives will explore big themes like sustainability, education, religion, politics, leadership, etc. etc, We've spent 20 years building the technical infrastructure and now it's time to use the infrastructure to build the new narratives.
To do this productively (i.e. not chaotically) takes massive re-design in the conceptual, virtual and physical realms in which we dream and bring our dreams to life. Dr. Boje's theory of antenarrative and his other work in quantum physics and storytelling is going to be at the conceptual epicenter of this re-design.
By deleting his work, you are plopping yourself squarely in storytelling's past, when we spent all our time and professional energy battling to establish dominant narratives. The new narratives don't seek dominance, they seek flow. They are not 'owned' in the Disney IP sense of the word; they designed to invite participation. In terms of improvisation, the new games (which are used to generate narrative) are positive sum.
It will take Dr. Boje's work, translated to action in a multitude of different ways, to impose the discipline of design, the cosmos of creativity, on the chaos of information and invention that churns through the networked world in search of meaning (e.g. economic exchange) that can be assigned to it by people, environments and objects.
I urge you to reinstate his work. It's important! To me, it's like you're at editor at a science journal in 1904 who rejected Einstein's 1905 paper 'On the Electrodynamics of Moving Objects' that ushered in the new era of physics. That's how important, and potentially transformative, I believe Boje's work is. I don't care whether he self-publishes it or not. It doesn't matter. It is thoroughly documented and accredited academically.
My wife is on the faculty of the School of Cinematic Arts at USC, and I can tell you that Boje's references and the people he cites in his work pop up all the time in the most sophisticated and evolved academic conversations anywhere in the world, around the subjects of multimedia literacy, social media, cinema, games and participatory culture.
BTW, I don't know Dr. Boje, have never met him, don't even know anyone who knows him (although I know a woman who's married to a blacksmith in New Mexico who may know him, as Dr Boje's side business is blacksmithing). I came across his work a little over a month ago on a website published by the University of Bath in the U.K., where he presented his 'The Quantum Physics of Storytelling' paper earlier this year. Only time (or as Boje's paper would call it, 'timespacemattering') will tell, but there's every possibility it could be this century's 'On the Electrodynamics of Moving Objects.'
Thanks for your consideration in this urgent matter.

Hi Ponyo, I'd value your thoughts on this issue. I understand that policy supports taking out unverified material from articles. WP:V "Policy requires that all quotations and anything challenged or likely to be challenged be attributed in the form of an inline citation that directly supports the material." What if an editor decides to challenge everything in a non-BLP article that doesn't have sourcing (which makes up the majority of articles, I imagine). What is to stop them from stripping back all content from hundreds of articles, claiming lack of citations? This is not how it works in practice, it seems - we adds cn tags, section tags etc unless material is glaringly nonsense or garbled. Most of the more minor folk characters and figures of myth have poorly sourced, tagged articles that need work, but could, essentially, have their content deleted. Your thoughts much appreciated. Thanks. Span ( talk) 03:23, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Ponyo. Thanks for your response. I didn't post a link partly because I was interested in the question in general as I realised I didn't have answer to it, but also didn't want to get into a set-to with deleting blokey. I just wanted to understand better. However, this is the article change I'm thinking of. It upset some regular editors on the page, of which I am not one but help was requested on the Literature Project page. There is far from consensus. It seems pointy behaviour.

Please explain why you view this article as SPAM and won't let it be categorized under disambiguation. I want to move on to create/edit content for the Warhammer/40k sections but would like a more clear understanding of what you disagree with before moving on and incorrectly modifying other pages.
In the defense of my actions: Random Encounter (band) is one of a dozen actively touring/performing video game cover bands and has more brand recognition, has played more shows than, appeared at more major conventions than (13 per http://www.animecons.com/guests/bio.shtml/2768/Random_Encounter) and released more albums than the following bands: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_NESkimos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MegaDriver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomitron
Random Encounter has sold thousands of albums internationally (especially in Poland/US) and are fighting to raise accordion awareness, following in the same spirit/dream as Titano's owner Faithe Deffner. http://www.accordions.com/fdeffner/ Random Encounter was also one of five bands involved in the world's first video game themed national tour.
By direct comparison to other uses of the term Random Encounter: The Random Encounter (comic) has a smaller following than the band, no internet presence or reviews, only contains an article stub, has no references to anything except its own website. I am unable to find anything to make it noteworthy but has been left on the disambiguation page. The Random Encounter (film) has only minimal recognition, only cites imdb.com as a reference to the fact that it was indeed filmed, and contained one named actor: Elizabeth Berkley. Reviews are minimal and strongly negative (two stars average on amazon.com) and it never got real distribution beyond digital, but it did contain a named actor so it makes sense to include.

I disagree. I am not interested in writing about the award as the foundation is in Switzerland and my interest is football in Quebec at a university and junior football level. I am writing on what I know. I do not know Bellemare or Saint-Marche or Wally Buono personally. I write on them because they are from Quebec and that is my home town although I am in Southern Ontario now. I write on this to practice my English and structure as English is not my mother tongue. I also write on this because they re small articles and I can handle them as a novice. So what we are saying here is we can discuss a Ferrari model, say a BB 512, and never mentioned Enzo Ferrari designed it and gave "birth" tot his model. We don't need the founder of the company even though it was his or her idea? That's your position? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmerlino3 ( talk • contribs) 20:24, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Ponyo, I am not questioning your ability. Someone, say , Pininfarina ( http://www.pininfarina.it/index.html) would have had to made the design for Ferrari as they do for the majority of all Ferraris. Special designed Ferrari? Ok, lets stick with that? Who designed it for Pitt? How did it come about? Who drew the pictures? Was Pitt involved? I would not give the entire history of Pininfarina but it lends itself to a sentence or two and that is what I am being denied here. Where did this award, this national award, come from? Where did Pitts Ferrari come from as in who designed it? Same question, same answer. Besides these two small accounts are a couple of sentences each. Not like there is not room. You have your position and I have mine. You call it promotional and spam and I call it a fact that someone or some organization did this for Wally Buono. Wally Buono didn't have this done for himself. I attended one of these events in Montreal years ago and he spoke of the award and how it came about. You do what you have to do I guess. I already wrote to Wiki to close the account. Who needs this? To argue over one sentence of who founded an award that some player won? No, I am not interested in that. I am just trying to learn so i can contribute more but the headaches are more than one needs. I should have looked more at the non-wiki blogs closer. I have an entry on Wally Buono's wiki which lists all the players who won the award. I hope that can stay in place but I leave that to you. Some of wiki's editors, not you, are over the top with power and that is sad. Lots of people don't want the hassle of this so I have read and one has to wonder how much "good stuff" is lost because of it. Thank you, and I really do mean it, for your interaction.

Dear Wiki,
Please refer to the dispute over my editing changes to Edward J. Erickson - VIEWS. See link below.

Some clown calling himself Darklordseth claims that he knows me personally. He does not. He keeps deleting the following phrase from the VIEWS part of the article:
", however, as a matter of fact his writing is limited to the Armenian rebellion and nowhere does Erickson address the genocide issue."
This is a factual phrase. I wrote it and it accurately describes my work. As a matter of accuracy regarding my "views", I would like the phrase included and I would like it to remain unaltered.
Can you assist me by verifiying my identity and then blocking anyone from changing the phrase? Thank you in advance.

Ponyo, I hope this finds you well.
My name is Dr. Noah Arthur Bardach. I am an art-historian specializing in post-Revolutionary Mexican political graphics, with a special emphasis on works by leftist political graphics collectives, including the Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP). In addition to my doctoral work, I served as an Expert in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress and have consulted with many major institutions on their collections of works by the TGP.
I maintain a free, non-commercial, academic website (Gráfica Mexicana), which provides access to the most comprehensive catalog available of works by the TGP. This catalog of more than 4200 entries is database-driven and also includes nearly 150 images of works by members of the TGP. The catalog is an invaluable resource for scholars of Mexican political graphics, providing a central point of reference for the examination of both individual artists and the group as a whole.
You recently removed a number of pointers to this site from the Extrenal Links section of articles about the Taller de Gráfica Popular and its individual members. These links referenced Gráfica Mexicana and cited the number of cataloged works from the specific artist that can be viewed there. I believe these are valid, non-pomotional pointers (again, the site is academic in nature and free of charge, nor does it support adveristing of any kind) that are viable and valuable information.
Could you please explain the rationale behind your action? If, perhaps, you misjudged the nature of these links, please replace my edits at your soonest convenience.
I look forward to hearing from you. [redact]

Thanks for your prompt and informative reply. I think I understand, now, why the links where removed. I will rewrite them with the guidelines in mind, using deep links to specific content wherever possible (as per #13). With regard to COI, I have no personal, commercial or financial interest in driving traffic to Gráfica Mexicana. Rather, my goal is to improve the information on Wikipedia and to make available information about the subjects therein to scholars and those interested in the subject. I believe this is in compliance with the COI guidelines you pointed me to. Once again, thanks for your attetion. — Preceding

Hi there! I just joined Wikipedia recently and today I have been adding some audio interviews to some articles from a site that I found really enlightening. I realize that Wikipedia doesn't want spam or advertising, but I also know that there have been many other interviews on Wiki as well under external links, so I don't understand why what I added has been removed. These conversations with the people I added to have been very interesting and I thought pretty helpful in seeing new and upcoming information regarding popular fictions. Is there a way to correct this? I really think that these audio interviews are just as informative or exciting as other written interviews that have been posted under external links. Thanks, and have a great rest of the day. Best, Keelymacd ( talk) 22:12, 29 October 2011 (UTC)Keelymacd

Hi Ponyo. Happy Halloween. I wonder if you could swing by Brodsky talk page. We are trying to determine the poet's nationality via WP:OPENPARA, tussling with ethnicity/citizenship/nationality question and not getting too far. Brodsky left the Soviet Union and settled in the States, taking up citizenship there and never going back east. A third opinion on the Openpara would be useful, if you have a moment.

Trimmed Back? Recent edits to the article completely eliminated the "Legal Troubles" section and omitted nearly all of the subject's extensive criminal past and convictions which were thoroughly referenced in news reports of the day. Heck, O'Neal's arrest for carrying a ballistic knife eventually led to federal legislation making such weapons illegal, just like the switchblade. Now all there is a brief paragraph on the subject's "Accidents". Good grief. I fully admit I'm not experienced in adding material on current bio articles - but in any other type of article this would constitute outright vandalism of referenced work.

The MTV bio page indeed mentioned that material, which is why I included it. It no longer mentions it, presumably because Padron complained to them, which is precisely what she should've done from the start. But this does not justify removing the citation from the passage, since other the material in that sentence still needs a cite, and is still supported by that webpage.

Please guide me to the Wiki information that says no fan sites shall be linked.
I think my site falls within one of these:
"A well-chosen link to a directory of websites or organizations. Long lists of links are not acceptable. A directory link may be a permanent link or a temporary measure put in place while external links are being discussed on the article's talk page. Many options are available; the Open Directory Project is often a neutral candidate, and may be added using the 7 Ponyo/Archive 7 at Curlie template. Sites that fail to meet criteria for reliable sources yet still contain information about the subject of the article from knowledgeable sources."
And you are doing a disservice to people who want more information about Ann Sheridan by excluding it.
I await your response.

How can you call allmusic.com more reliable than a government database? Who the hell made you to an administrator? Veromi.net has been given as a reference many times before in several other articles and no one has complained before. It's information comes from the authorites and can not be wrong. Besides, allmusic.com whick is provided for 1970 dosesn't even say that her DoB is 1970, but 1967. Perhaps someone should look over your administrator priviligies. Karbuncle ( talk) 20:45, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
And for Henry Silva, what would you consider as a reliable source, since you obviously don't even consider public records as one. There are millions of sites which gives his DoB as 15 September 1928. Are you saying that all these are unreliable? Karbuncle ( talk) 20:45, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
And as I said, veromi.net has been used as a source many times before, in several articles before from a lot more persons than me and no one has ever regarded it as unreliable before. I don't see how refering to public records where you can check it out black on white could be counting as "conjecture and inference". I would rather call it common sense.
So, now all references to birth dates must be in etablished media? In that case you'll have to remove the birth date from 90% of all articles on wikipedia. And trust me. I've no problems understanding wikipedias policies regarding sourcing and biographies. I just happen to have something called common sense, which you seem to be missing. Karbuncle ( talk) 22:10, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
Then I suggest you should be consistent and delete all previous references to veromi.net. It's just about 500 pages at least but I guess you gladly will do that since according to you, it was "consensus" that it was not a reliable source. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special%3ASearch&search=veromi.net. Though I don't understand how you can get about 3 users oppinions to be consensus, but that's another question. And what about ancestry.com? Is that just as unreliable according to you? Karbuncle ( talk) 22:43, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
I was not talking about reliable sources. I was talking about etablished media. Is that the only source that is reliable enough for you? Karbuncle ( talk) 22:43, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
I put it under scare brackets because consensus means that everbody agree, but 3 users is hardly everybody and therefore it can not be regarded as consensus. Perhaps you should learn the meaning of the word before you use it. If you disqualify ancestry with the reason that it's "user generated" you should disqualify books as well. It's the same thing. In fact, you would have to disqalify every source that's not a free web page. It would be vary hard to find sources with your criteria of reliable sources. Luckally, all admins are not like you. Ancestry for example has been approved as a source many times before, even by other administrators. Many questions have been solved through using ancestry in biographys Karbuncle ( talk) 23:49, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello Jezebel's Ponyo, this is user Survir. I need your advise on how to fix issues on the following page, List of programs broadcast by Star Plus. All the shows that are listed under "Currently broadcast" list have wrong (false) information. Majority of the IP users keep adding wrong information (such as wrong air dates, changing names of Cast members who have worked or currently are working in the series, removing logo images, adding shows from different channels on STAR Plus page, etc...). I have been noticing the trend for a while and I believe this is mostly done by one user whose IP address keeps shifting. The current IP address of the user that is adding false information is User:86.171.233.197.

Hi Ponyo, and thanks for setting me up with a talk page. On my recent edits: some editing of 'Bernard Cohen (Australian author)' appeared to be for the purpose of highlighting another page (Gangaroo) and therefore were not neutral. Thus my edits removed those references as well as updating the publications. Regarding the photograph, it appears to be a personal snapshot (and was earlier attributed to the owner of Gangaroo), rather than anything to do with the author in a professional capacity. It should be removed. Enthalpio ( talk) 23:18, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Ponyo, I understand your point. However, I work on his staff and his family information is part of his official Bio. The other part to this is that scammers often use his name with unwitting single ladies for financial gain. By having his family and marital status on the page it alleviates some of the issue.
As for neutrality, if you have better wording you are welcome to edit. Thanks Jt.thomas5 ( talk) 20:54, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
I understand. It is now cited from his official bio which is from the US Army's page. Two your second point about neutrality. I don't see the language as being biased. Regarding you last point. I also don't see a conflict of interest. I am closer to the facts than most people and have as much right to ensure that the Bio is accurate. Lastly, you never acknowledged the point that this page is most often edited to remove family information which enables unwitting people to be victimized. Jt.thomas5 ( talk) 22:23, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
Ponyo, Actually, that sentence works for me if it meets the guidelines. I have no interest in editing the page but continual deletion or distortion of his marital status is unacceptable.

As will be obvious, I'm new to Wikipedia editing. I'm hoping I can get clarification over having entries edited or deleted without requesting citations first. I went to lengths to add factual material to the Simms Taback page after learning he had died on December 25, 2011. If I read the record correctly, the fact that he died had been deleted, due to a lack of attribution, but was later reinstated once it had been attributed to the website http://www.simmstaback.com. Interesting in that I am also the webmaster for said website, and could well "attribuate" any statement of fact or non-fact to the site - and back it up on the site. Also, I entered material augmenting listings of some of this author's key works. These credits are in print, but do not exist on the web. I assumed that if someone wished to challenge them, or request a citation, such a request would be made on the page (ie citation needed) rather than deleting facts that had been researched.

Regarding User:ECanalla, i was not so "lucky", look at his last message to me (see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:VascoAmaral#Notification_-_WQA). I have replied to him, and will obviously respect his wishes.
Kind regards - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 00:51, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi! I noticed your RfA, which seems to be going very well, and I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.
If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!
You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).
I hope to hear from you soon.-- Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation ( talk) 14:53, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
All I did was adding the categories of him being Polish-American and Jewish-American. I think this is obvious that he is one, because his paternal grandfather Arthur Rubinstein was a Polish Jew and paternal grandmother Nela Rubinstein, nee Młynarska, was Polish. They identified themselves Polish, so you can read about Arthur Rubinstein's acts of patriotism in the article on him. If he had Polish and Polish-Jewish grandparents, isn't he an American of Polish descent and an American of Jewish descent (not an American Jew, as we don't know about his religious beliefs)?? His father is categorised as a Polish-American and you didn't change this. Why? dd —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.28.14.121 ( talk) 22:28, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, it's worth a lot. I've seen Malik Shabazz a lot, and have a lot of respect for him, so I didn't take that decision lightly. My hope is that it will be a "oh, duh, of course" moment, but it is good to have independent corroboration in case there's a disagreement.-- SPhilbrick T 15:25, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Ponyo, thanks for all the help so far re: the Rudi Bass article. Can you tell me how to switch his article over from articles about living persons to the section about non-living persons (deceased)?

Trying not to use any disparaging language, but you are a bit of a tool - more specifically a Canadian tool - who should know where the limitations of their knowledge resides. You have deleted a (yes, poorly written) article for the 5th time, not fully realising that the personage (football, or soccer for you, player) is of national interest. Not Canadian national interest, but British. Thus, hundreds, thousands perhaps, are going to the page looking for some information. I - a non-wiki contributor - did what I could to quickly correct the inaccuracies, and horrific writing and to cite the information better. As I'm only a lowly Oxford DPhil student I accept that I know little of the formulaic standards or conventions of your strange wiki world. The article was left in crude, though generally correct, shape - for fanatics like you to then polish to their hearts content into something useful. You, however, re-deleted it in about 20 seconds without thinking there may be something in this wide world outside the scope of your limited knowledge ("Articles are not created in anticipation of notability"). Are all people from BC in a position to decide what constitutes notoriety 5000 miles away, or is it just you??
The way it had been left, at least the millions of Liverpool and England football fans (that's soccer for you) would be able to get some basic bio information on the person who is about to replace Michael Owen in the national consciousness (again, I expect a blank stare from you). Of course this enormous group of non-canadian readers could go to the recently published article by Sky Sports, BBC Sport, The Guardian, The Times, The Independent, the LA Times etc. to get information about this apparently "Non Notable Athlete", but I assume part of the function of Wikipedia is that they shouldn't have to. I was particularly impressed on how you deleted the page after, I'm sure, not having read the edits - just assuming it was same old. In fact, now (or until you deleted it) it was short and correct, and would have been added to over the next week. As it stands, others - not you - will have to start from scratch.
Long story short, you should probably confine yourself to your fish bowl in future (I would think that would encompass the Pacific North West, but that might be stretching it). And as I know your response will be blah blah wiki protocol blah blah has to be in the Vancouver Sun or they aren't famous...you can save it. As I mentioned, I'm only a humble academic and not an elevated, pompous wiki "git" like you.
Best,
Mike— Preceding unsigned comment added by Onbeyondzebra ( talk • contribs) 00:47, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello Ponyo,
Nice meeting you. I saw you deleted "Wormhole web conference"
I can't understand the reason why because there are at least 20 other pages talking about different Web conferences services and products and none of them were deleted.
It is not an advertisement page but a way to show another provider and that is why I published part of the story of the team that might inspire other entrepreneurs.

Hi, I added a page for 80/90s actress Lori Lethin as I noticed she doesn't have a wikipedia page. She has many movie and television credits, so this isn't a name I am making up.

Hello,
I've just logged in to find the article on AFACT deleted for the reason of "A7: Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject)"
The organisation "AFACT" is currently embroiled in a landscape changing lawsuit against Australian ISP iiNet, the outcome of which will change the politics, policy and laws concerning fair use, internet access and copyright for decades.
The document "AFACT" is linked from several other wikipedia web pages - indicating that an article describing what an "AFACT" is needs to exist.
The page submitted did state what the significance of this entry is. Terms of:
1. This is a company formed in Australia comprised of American companies
2. This is a company deemed to be acting in bad faith - the name "Australian .... " is misleading - given that the organisations behind this company are Americian.
3. AFACT is currently suing an Australian ISP in an attempt to change Australian copyright law enforcement. This case may soon go to the high court of Australia.
Given this information, as it was provided, I would like to know how the information provided has been deemed to be non-important or insignificant
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MattDeBlack ( talk • contribs) 04:35, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, is the following article ok? Groarke ( talk) 22:39, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
The club is situated at "Inishleena Recreation Area" on the northern shore of Inniscarra Lake, just west of Inniscarra Dam in County Cork. Here sailors and kayakers do not have to worry about reading tide tables or dealing with tidal currents. The hills around the lake provide more protection from the more severe winds encountered on the Cork coastline.
The lake provides ideal conditions for racing radio controlled one meter sailboats with smaller waves than those experienced on the coastline. The Irish National IOM Championships were held at the club in 2010 and the 2011 Southern Championships are due to be held at the club in November.
Other water sports held on the lake include rowing at the National Rowing Centre upstream at Farran Woods and water skiing at Cork Powerboat & Waterski Club in Dripsey.
The club holds kayaking and sailing events throughout the year. The most popular events are the Sunday morning sailing sessions at 10:30 am and the midweek kayaking sessions to Griffins Garden Centre for coffee or tea.
The main events of the year are usually held in September with the Commodore's Shield for kayakers and the Commodore's Cup for dinghy sailors
The club is a Category 1 member of the Irish Sailing Association and organises ISA accredited sail training and powerboat courses.
For further information and contact details, visit the club's website www.corksailing.com
Looking at the deletion log for that page, I think it's time to give it a dose of salt. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい) 03:37, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Article: October's Very Cold
What: A remix (mashup) album (free) by producer Chi Duly using sampled material from Drake and Coldplay
Similar to: The Grey Album or Mos Dub
Notability: Not sure. It does have 37 full pages of relevant google results. It also has significantly high marks attached to it on The Hype Machine. There are no major newspaper or magazine articles about it. Of the music blogs that wrote about it, only 7 are Hype Machine blogs. Also in comparison to another wiki article about an unauthorized remix album Mos Dub , there are 6 times as many relevant google results for "Octobers Very Cold", which appears to assert this being one of the most talked about projects of it's kind in 2010 (there are probably more of these types of work emerging than most would think).
Copyright issue: precedents set by The Grey Album and others would point to this work as a fair use. The vocals tracks used from artist Drake were released by label affiliated digital record pools with the intention of encouraging remix material. As far as the Coldplay content, their official website has endorsed past uses similar to October's Very Cold.
I am writing in response to the speedy deletion of the article. I'm new to wikipedia. I have no suggestions or requests for you, only questions that I wasn't able to spot clear answers for on the "Whydeleted" page.
I actually didn't intend on publishing the article though. I just wanted to work on it and wasn't able to google or wiki the answer on how to work before submitting to become an entry. I'm fine with working on the article in sandbox but WAIIIT lol - I believe it is something others will be legitimately interested in editing as there are tons of sources to sort through, and leaving it to an amature such as myself may not be as efficient in.
Final questions:
Was it deleted because the producer is not a notable musician with a wiki page? Should the producer's page be created first?
I started this page under a nickname that is not my government name. I may be overly apprehensive about giving out that info. Is this account a waste of time because of that? Should I delete it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrickDudris ( talk • contribs) 03:10, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Dear Ponyo,
You have deleted the 'antenarrative page.' However, I believe that the term antenarrative is in widespread use both at theory and as methodology in the social sciences. The original page had references to published works on the topic of antenarrative, as well as relationships to the structuralist work of Derrida and the critical discourse work of Bakhtin.
I would like the page reconsidered, since I believe that antenarrative has been demonstrated in theory, method and practice in quite a number of scholarly, peer-reviewed publications, not just by me, but by a host of other scholars.
Here is the published work on 'antenarrative' which is beyond the original work I did as the creator of the theory.

Ponyo- I understand that the Freeman's page looked perhaps like advertisement. But the foundation was being laid for a more significant article. Additionally, all the things in that article were legitimate claims (freeman's IS America's oldest auction house).. and the services they provide are ones that people request information about frequently. All "editorial" or "Subjective" claims in the article were sourced from external authors and publications.

Hi, I was about to create a page for the band The Defiled as surprisingly there wasn't one and they have a large following.
I then saw you had deleted one that seems to be about them.

I didn't write it but wanted to make sure why so I don't do the same.

Hey JP. I remember from your RFA you mentioning that you are a Werner fan. Me too. I just rewatched Burden of Dreams, the doc about the making of Fitzcarraldo. It is truly amazing what the man went through to get the film made. I don't think there is any other filmmaker who pursues his dreams with such dedication. I'd like to expand our stub article for B.o.D., hopefully 5X so it can go up on DYK. I've copied the stub over to my userspace: User:The Interior/Under Construction/Burden of Dreams, and put a few links to some good sources on the talk page. I'm going to tinker away at it for the next week or two, if you'd like to help, please do. (If you haven't seen the film yet, you simply gotta. I think there's a copy at the VPL).

Ponyo: Can you please let me know why you deleted the link to my Mason Jennings site "Bird Wings Beat" from the Mason Jennings article? As stated in the Discussion for the page, I'm familiar with #11 of WP:LINKSTOAVOID, but I believe the site is still important to include on the article because it provides resources unavailable elsewhere (specifically, complete lyrics and discography). I don't want to reinstate the link immediately, I'd like to get your input first. I am the creator and maintainer of the site in question, but receive no money from the site (there are no ads or sponsorship) and have no incentive for reinstating the link besides serving people interested in Mason Jennings.

Ponyo, I appreciate you deleting the personal attacks against me and my wife this week. Many people reached out to me when the page was discovered and clearly you saw it fit to be removed. However, when I goggled it today, the page is still up. Here is the URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Munson Clearly if you go to Wikipedia the page shows the deletion. What is the link above?

Hi,
I am taking a second look at this db-nocontext I raised - here - on what at the time was an article of two words "Florida park" and wondering about the claim that this was too bitey. You later validly declined the speedy on the basis of the improvements that were made and I wondered if you had any thoughts about tagging an article so early after creation even if it does fit the criteria? The reason I'm asking is that I notice similar articles frequently in IGLOO, which by their nature have only been just created, and perhaps I might be better off just consistently skipping them or tagging with weaker improvement notices rather than jumping to speedy.

Hello,
I have been trying to work on editing an article on Rudi Bass. I put in my working article and it is edited in some form not giving me a chance to finish what I have started. If I do this in my area (MrsHayward) area as a working document will people have access to it? It was an unfortunate by working title to call it "Personal Life", perhaps "Creative Life"?
I am struggling a bit with getting the references to link, and to cite external links (if relevant). I know there are help pages, but I find they are less than easy to find and sometimes a bit difficult to follow. I really need a working area to get my head around this. An example of one of my problems is the reference to the work Rudi contributed to the American Church in Paris which is shown on their web page - is this a legitmate refernce and how do I make it?
I see from looking around Wikipedia others are having the same problem.
Any advice, support is appreciated.

In response to your performance of the deletion of the article entitled "Alyssa Shouse", what exactly do you refer to when you state "Does not point out the significance of the subject?" what do you mean by significane? I stated clearly that she has become widely famous across America & the rest of the world and that she is a pop star working with Jason Derulo, a widely recognized american musical artist? I am not debating your actions but I am just in wonder of what I did wrong and would like to know how I can make articles in a correct fashion that will not result in their deletion.

Dear Ponyo,
I noticed that you deleted a page I wrote about Alana Lee's song "Butterflies". I have read your reasons for deletion and I have not found any reason why the page should have been removed. You might have seen that I did not quote any sources - you would be wrong in assuming that this was because there were not any! I used the ARK Music Factory website and starcasm.net, as well as my own observations on the number of views on YouTube videos; I think you will agree that there is nothing unreliable about these sources. I write Wikipedia articles because I am committed to adding to the sum of human knowledge. With Rebecca Black's song Friday being so topical in the digital world this very moment, it is a true fact that Alana Lee's Butterflies has become far more popular than it initially was and is notable by any definition of the word. I ask you to restore the article so that my hard work in research and my time do not go to waste, and so that the world can always turn to Wikipedia as a source for knowledge. Thank you for reading this message, and I hope you can reply soon.

Hi Ponyo. What exactly is a Comments page on a Talk page? You don't see too many of those. The one good edit was made in 2006, and it probably belonged on the Talk page itself, rather than on the Talk/Comments page. And 5 years later, the main article has 21 references. So what is the purpose of keeping this Talk/Comments page? There has been a problem with Talk/Comments pages on British topics attracting sockpuppets. That is my reason for tidying up here.

Hi, a couple of months ago you put in place a PP for Dave Hensman, a consequence of some undue weight, POV-pushing additions that may also have involved socks and COI. The PP has expired and the campaign has restarted. At least one of the users - which is an SPA - has had a full set of warnings and also advice from myself and another editor regarding how to deal with the situation in a manner that might be acceptable to WP, but has today continued regardless. The warnings are spread over a period since February & so probably won't result in a block. Can it be protected again? What else could we do? I have thought of adding the info myself in a more acceptable way but, tbh, a $2,500 fine is nothing in the context where it applies & this is why I suspect POV/COI etc + don't feel confident about having it there at all, true though it may be. - Sitush ( talk) 14:23, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Just out of interest. Looking through the edit history shows that the date of birth was changed a number of times to the correct date and you reverted it back to the incorrect date, citing the lack of references. However, there was no reference cited for the original, wrong date of birth either. Is there some page on wikipedia that talks about how this kind of thing is worked out? Eg, in this case, the information on the first revision is taken as the truth until proven otherwise. Seems odd. Nevster ( talk) 01:03, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello Ponyo
I regret to inform that you appear to have deleted my user page. Hopefully this was a mistake but it looks like it may not have been as I think you refer to the page as being a copy. It is in fact my original page with veryfiable personal information I have provided about myself.
As you can see there have been quite a lot of comments put in my user talk and as a new user I have been amazed and disappointed to find a large number of statements about me which are either rude or untrue. This really has changed my view about Wikipedia which until now I thought had high standards and was a good source of accurate information.
I have tried to reply to some of the users who often use names such as yourself to conceal their identities but although 'Vquakr?' and others sound friendly I have not received any answers to questions I have raised and I very much hope you can address this in the near future.
I hope you can re-instate my user page or help set up a Wikipedia entry for me if you still have the information - I very much appreciate positive activity rather than any destructive actions which take time to correct and are necessarily a drain on all our resources.
Thank you for your assistance

Please note all Wikipedians are invited to enter information about themselves on their user page (unlike the requirements for an article) and you have deleted personal information which was provided in good faith.
Wikipedia was invented to collate factual and verifiable information. This requires diligence and not aggression, malice or biased opinion.
If you are genuinely interested in pursuing actions which violate the purpose of Wikipedia you may care to investigate some of the previous contributors to my user page such as the comments that I have worked with Andrew Lloyd Webber which are untrue.
Please restore the accurate information if you can and this will be much appreciated.

Thanks for the info, but zowie it's a bizarro world I've stumbled into. Pure Alice in Wonderland. One can't see what's been deleted because if it's deleted they're not allowed to see it. Some tautology. Then tautology meets the Star Chamber, as you can't see it but others have and judged that it should not be seeable. Oppositely, of course if it were seeable, then - depending entirely on what it was and why it should not be seeable - it would be seeable, and it shouldn't be seen. Jeeze. A copyright violation I can see, but taken to extreme it's a mighty letter of the law defense. Such things, however, don't matter as all violations are violations and red kings and black queens should all take one step back. So, if I understand it I can't see the article as deleted, or access the deletion discussion, copyright violations, mind, or Wikipedia no-can-do's. But I can start from scratch. Right, then.

I asking for your help as I see you have dealt with the user Rusted AutoParts before. Earlier this week, I discovered many factual errors in the deaths section on the page 1994 in film. Most of the names in the deaths table were of people who actually died in 2010, not 1994. I cleaned up the table, deleted all the names that didn't belong and started adding names of actual people who died in 1994. User Rusted AutoParts keeps reverting my changes claiming he is in charge of editing the page and this is the way he does it. This seems crazy to me, as purposely posting false information on a page goes against everything Wikipedia stands for. The false data he is placing there isn't just there for a few moments but for days at a time while he edits the page. This is also going on for other "year in film" pages. I want to correct this and get all the false info removed, but it is just resulting in an edit war. I put a not on his user page, which he deleted, and one on the talk page for "1994 in film", which will also probably get deleted. What should the next step be? I appreciate any help or advice you can provide. Thanks. BurienBomber ( talk) 23:54, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Dear Ponyo,
To be honest, I hesitated before accepting these changes, mainly because of the removal of cn tag. Finally, I accepted to change because specific detail was added and the tag was several month old (sept. 2010). I though a source added since may have referenced this passage. Mistakenly though, I did not check nor the history neither the references for the exactitude of the added information.
Thank you for correcting my mishap.

Hello Ponyo
Thank you again for your interest in my autobiographical entry. As you can see although not a skilled Wikipedia user I am a perfectionist and like to follow up all comments in detail responding to as many users as possible who open a debate. You are right in that I would have hoped for a better outcome but my main concern is to maintain the integrity of information that is placed in a public arena on a respected internet site.
I disagree on the issue of self promotion as without that concern much of Wikipedia would probably not have been created. Many friends and people with vested interests in subjects have created fine articles. I think Wikipedia and it's users would be better to admit that. It would become transparent and more valuable as a result.
However I am always interested in working within existing frameworks and respecting traditions and I am sorry if my edits have given an impression that was not the case. The reason I moved deleted content back to my user page was because I wanted to save valuable information that had taken time to prepare and Vquakr kindly suggested this on my talk page. I believe there are various ways of compiling information on a user page to allow an autobiography.
Yours sincerely

"Are you saying that despite all of this information you were unable to to "identify the subject of the article"? --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 13:20, 15 April 2011 (UTC)"
I think you are confusing "subject" with "topic". The subject of an article is the specific thing the article is about, not the general topic such as "buildings" or "parks".
To begin with, it is impossible to tell from the article whether Villa Giulia is a house, a hotel, an ancient monument or some other kind of "building". It is also impossible to tell whether the "park" is part of the same complex or something completely unrelated to the building. I take it you would have had no objection if I had deleted this article as not offering any evidence or claim of notability.
Cross-references to another wikipedia are of no use in clarifying the subject of an article unless one happens to be a speaker of the language of that wikipedia, and are therefore irrelevant in this respect. Deb ( talk) 14:13, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

My primary concern is that the article, as written, contained just one single sentence of complete prose, namely Ring of Fire is a neoclassical/progressive/power metal band from Chula Vista, California formed in 2000., while the entire rest of the article consisted solely of bulleted lists. Even if the band has notable members, the article has to actually explain that — it's not good enough to just list their names without giving any actual context to explain that they're notable. And it didn't have any sources, either, so strictly from looking at the article itself I have no way of knowing whether it actually had notable members or just obscure wannabes who happened to have the same name as some more notable people. (I do realize that it most likely was the real people — but as verifiability goes, it's the job of the Ring of Fire article to make that explicit up front, not the job of the reader to go clicking on the musicians' individual articles to see whether they mention a band called Ring of Fire or not.)
And it's also important to remember that speedy or prod deletion doesn't mean that the band can never have an article; if someone comes along and writes a better one which makes notability more apparent, that'll be perfectly fine. It just means the band can't have that particular article as written. And you certainly also have the choice of restoring it if you choose, but it needs a hell of a lot of work before it'll actually be keepable. When you get right down to it, the criterion isn't "topic does not have any notability", it's "article doesn't explain the notability of the topic" — and there is a difference.

The page I wrote was deleted in March: Don Sahli. The listed reason is copyright infringement. The reference of the infringement, Folger Gallery, is writing that I wrote for them. The copyrighted material is my material. Please let me know if I can do anything to remedy this or how I can get Don Sahli back on Wiki. I collect Don Sahli's work and have been long time follower, along with many, many collectors/artist around the globe. He is a notable, famous artist with work in galleries around the United States and 30 years of documented art career in notable magazines and newspapers. Don Sahli's name was also added to the Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Bongart. Sahli was the last apprentice to Sergei Bongart and many of us that follow them both would like to see the connection and mention on Wiki.
Thank you for your work for Wiki and if you have any questions, please contact me - so we can work to add Don Sahli back to Wiki.
Thank You

Dear Ponyo,
I am unsure what you need from me. I have not copyrighted every article or bio I have written. When I visited the Folger Gallery website, the only copyright mention was pertaining to the images. Here is whats on their website "LEGAL NOTICE: All digital images on this website are the property of FolgerGallery.com.

Hello. As for Shraddha Kapoor, I'd like to say that she really is born in 1987. I know someone who has studied with her in Boston University, but if you need more proof, go to http://www.pipl.com. Type Shraddha Kapoor. You can see her old myspace profile which really says she is 24 years of age...which means she is born in 1987. Keep clicking "search" if you can't see the profile. She uploaded her picture on Feb 27, 2007-4 years ago, before she decided to become an actress. There are many fake profiles of hers on the internet, but these are post 2010...so obviously that what makes the profile fake. This particular profile was made before 2010.
Plus, it's very common for actresses to lie about their ages. She's taking 2 years off her age. She probably realizes that she is a star and she must take a few years off her age. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Disgrl ( talk • contribs) 02:48, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Where do you suggest I start looking for "reliable sources" of the critisism directed at Adam Sessler's Evo 2010 commentary? -- FLStyle ( talk) 14:00, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Dear Jezebel'sPonyo, I am Rockfeather, the editor who added a new section to the Wells Tower bio page about an essay that was critical of Tower's work. I did this months ago. Recently, my contribution caught the attention of another editor named Foolzgold who duly deleted it. We went back and forth many times, Foolzgold and I, re-inserting and deleting the section in turns, sometimes a dozen times in a 24-hour period. It got to be quite silly, but I persisted because I believe my contribution is legitimate. A few days ago an editor named Bbb23 got involved and did a good -- and by that I mean honest and fair -- job of refereeing the tit-for-tat, cleaning up language that didn't appear to be neutral, reorganizing sections, etc.
Now you have weighed in on the matter. You have declared that the essay in question is not worthy of inclusion on Tower's Wikipedia bio page. In fact, I see now that you have deleted it outright and warned others not to "undo" your deletion without some sort of consensus on the appropriate "Talk" page. I do not believe your deletion came after the consensus you apparently seek, having joined the conversation only hours ago. But I do agree with your comment on the noticeboard that Paul Maliszewski, the author of the essay, is merely "one individual expressing their personal opinion." I would only ask that you consider the larger question raised by your assessment: what literary criticism is not, in effect, based on personal opinion? Michiko Kakutani's? Edmund White's? Are their judgments based in some empirical form of literary criticism? Of course not. What separates their opinions from those of the casual blogger is that they make well-crafted and sound arguments to support their opinions. And to that end, so does Maliszewski. He is a published author with two books to his credit, and the Brooklyn Rail is not his personal web page. It is a serious literary journal. I would argue that the very occasion of this disagreement is reason enough to include mention of Maliszewski's essay in the "Awards and critical reception" section. After all, is that not what Wikipedia is all about? Encouraging divergent input from the widest possible range of verifiable sources?-- Rockfeather ( talk) 03:42, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
I'm registering my objection to your deletion of my entry and the reasons given for it. It's not consistent with other Wikipedia articles on other writers. For instance, look at Malcolm Gladwell's page. It has a long section about the critical reception of his work, which includes many direct quotes from many individual critics with divergent opinions. This paragraph stood out, which I will quote here:
Malcom Gladwell is a popular, best-selling writer with a broad following among critics and readers. There can be no doubt that those critical of his work represent the viewpoint of "a tiny minority." Would his Wikipedia page then be improved by removing the above paragraph, according to the rules you cite? Of course not. Removing it would in fact diminish the relevance of Gladwell's Wiki page by turning it into a promotional vehicle for Gladwell's work. And this is precisely what you have done with the Tower article. -- Rockfeather ( talk) 15:39, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
It seems the message is: tough luck, pal. Your decision to erase the material is not up for debate. But any decision to put the material back in is eternally debatable until some fuzzy consensus coalesces, which only you can determine, and after which the decision to restore the material is, still, completely in your hands. Wikipedia: all the trappings of a democratic process with the efficiency of a dictatorship.-- Rockfeather ( talk) 16:44, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
I didn't say Wikipedia was a democracy. I said it has all the trappings of a democracy: the emphasis on compromise and discussion and civility and process with all the attendant rules and guidelines that go with it. It is more like a dreary bureaucracy in some faded East Bloc state. In the end, an administrator or someone with the right set of keys can parachute in, delete information based not on knowledge of the subject but rather on an acute familiarity with bureaucratic protocol, and hand it back to the editorial minion with instructions to come to a consensus. Well, you see chief, we were in the process of coming to a consensus...- Rockfeather ( talk) 17:48, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
I must tell you that regardless of whether I agree with you, your deft approach in communicating your points effectively and diplomatically is admirable.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 23:32, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Good day Ponyo. The reason for dropping the Category:Portuguese politician category was that article it was already nested within the Category:Azorean politician category (which itself was within the Portuguese politician category). This is in line with the exist Categorization convention about diffusing categories. Also, one other point mentions the fact that "Each article should be placed in all of the most specific categories to which it logically belongs". By having a nested article in both the specific and general category seem to me to be redundant based on those two conventions. Mind you, that is my opinion. If you decide to revert the recategorization edit that I made, please provide me with an explanation. I will not likely dispute you on this, since my experience with Wikipedia categorization has been limited to the Wikimedia Commons, which uses the same categorization specificity. Ruben JC (Zeorymer) ( talk) 16:16, 16 June 2011 (UTC) - hmmmm. Just noticed. I removed the Category:Portuguese politician because it was redundant to Category:Azorean politicians, not Category:Portuguese agnostics, with the same logic explained above.

Repeating the same on the site was however an obvious mistake that we didn't realize!
Now the content is removed from the external site with a shorter info, and the same article (since more descriptive and suited to Wiki in format) is created as a draft. But we are unable to Move it for review.

(NOTE: THIS POST WAS ALSO POSTED ON THE TALK PAGES OF WIKIPEDIA EDITORS HOWCHENG, AND RON RITTMAN, WHO ALSO HAD A HAND IN DELETING THIS WIKIPEDIA ENTRY)
Hi Ponyo
Your deletion of Dr. David Boje's work in quantum physics and storytelling, and his concept of ANTENARRATIVE, is THE single most egregious and unfortunate edit I've ever seen on Wikipedia. Please allow it to be reposted, or re-post it yourself, if that's possible.
I have made my entire career (30+ years) in the storytelling business, from working as the publicist on the original TRON, when I had to explain to the news and entertainment media how a new technology (CGI) was going to change filmmaking forever (I also wrote the book the Art of TRON)...to when I produced the website for the first 'Toy Story' film and subsequently participated fully in the construction of early internet narratives...to today, when I use improvisation and (improvisational) game structure to help our clients generate productive business narratives in networks...
I am an expert in narrative, Ponyo. And I have never read anything more relevant to the future of narrative than Dr. Boje's work. We are, I believe, entering an era akin to the shift that took place at the end of the last century, when machines began giving way to information systems, and Newtonian physics to quantum mechanics. Today, like then, the old narratives are tired, and have sapped of their economic vitality (nowhere more so than in the U.S.). We need 'new story creation' on a unprecendented scale, and this effort will, of necessity, require what I call quantum narratives. These narratives will explore big themes like sustainability, education, religion, politics, leadership, etc. etc, We've spent 20 years building the technical infrastructure and now it's time to use the infrastructure to build the new narratives.
To do this productively (i.e. not chaotically) takes massive re-design in the conceptual, virtual and physical realms in which we dream and bring our dreams to life. Dr. Boje's theory of antenarrative and his other work in quantum physics and storytelling is going to be at the conceptual epicenter of this re-design.
By deleting his work, you are plopping yourself squarely in storytelling's past, when we spent all our time and professional energy battling to establish dominant narratives. The new narratives don't seek dominance, they seek flow. They are not 'owned' in the Disney IP sense of the word; they designed to invite participation. In terms of improvisation, the new games (which are used to generate narrative) are positive sum.
It will take Dr. Boje's work, translated to action in a multitude of different ways, to impose the discipline of design, the cosmos of creativity, on the chaos of information and invention that churns through the networked world in search of meaning (e.g. economic exchange) that can be assigned to it by people, environments and objects.
I urge you to reinstate his work. It's important! To me, it's like you're at editor at a science journal in 1904 who rejected Einstein's 1905 paper 'On the Electrodynamics of Moving Objects' that ushered in the new era of physics. That's how important, and potentially transformative, I believe Boje's work is. I don't care whether he self-publishes it or not. It doesn't matter. It is thoroughly documented and accredited academically.
My wife is on the faculty of the School of Cinematic Arts at USC, and I can tell you that Boje's references and the people he cites in his work pop up all the time in the most sophisticated and evolved academic conversations anywhere in the world, around the subjects of multimedia literacy, social media, cinema, games and participatory culture.
BTW, I don't know Dr. Boje, have never met him, don't even know anyone who knows him (although I know a woman who's married to a blacksmith in New Mexico who may know him, as Dr Boje's side business is blacksmithing). I came across his work a little over a month ago on a website published by the University of Bath in the U.K., where he presented his 'The Quantum Physics of Storytelling' paper earlier this year. Only time (or as Boje's paper would call it, 'timespacemattering') will tell, but there's every possibility it could be this century's 'On the Electrodynamics of Moving Objects.'
Thanks for your consideration in this urgent matter.

Hi Ponyo, I'd value your thoughts on this issue. I understand that policy supports taking out unverified material from articles. WP:V "Policy requires that all quotations and anything challenged or likely to be challenged be attributed in the form of an inline citation that directly supports the material." What if an editor decides to challenge everything in a non-BLP article that doesn't have sourcing (which makes up the majority of articles, I imagine). What is to stop them from stripping back all content from hundreds of articles, claiming lack of citations? This is not how it works in practice, it seems - we adds cn tags, section tags etc unless material is glaringly nonsense or garbled. Most of the more minor folk characters and figures of myth have poorly sourced, tagged articles that need work, but could, essentially, have their content deleted. Your thoughts much appreciated. Thanks. Span ( talk) 03:23, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Ponyo. Thanks for your response. I didn't post a link partly because I was interested in the question in general as I realised I didn't have answer to it, but also didn't want to get into a set-to with deleting blokey.

Please explain why you view this article as SPAM and won't let it be categorized under disambiguation. I want to move on to create/edit content for the Warhammer/40k sections but would like a more clear understanding of what you disagree with before moving on and incorrectly modifying other pages.
In the defense of my actions: Random Encounter (band) is one of a dozen actively touring/performing video game cover bands and has more brand recognition, has played more shows than, appeared at more major conventions than (13 per http://www.animecons.com/guests/bio.shtml/2768/Random_Encounter) and released more albums than the following bands: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_NESkimos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MegaDriver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomitron
Random Encounter has sold thousands of albums internationally (especially in Poland/US) and are fighting to raise accordion awareness, following in the same spirit/dream as Titano's owner Faithe Deffner. http://www.accordions.com/fdeffner/ Random Encounter was also one of five bands involved in the world's first video game themed national tour.
By direct comparison to other uses of the term Random Encounter: The Random Encounter (comic) has a smaller following than the band, no internet presence or reviews, only contains an article stub, has no references to anything except its own website. I am unable to find anything to make it noteworthy but has been left on the disambiguation page. The Random Encounter (film) has only minimal recognition, only cites imdb.com as a reference to the fact that it was indeed filmed, and contained one named actor: Elizabeth Berkley. Reviews are minimal and strongly negative (two stars average on amazon.com) and it never got real distribution beyond digital, but it did contain a named actor so it makes sense to include.
Thank you very much for your help. :D — Preceding unsigned comment added by Virtalison ( talk • contribs) 14:52, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Question: Where did the award come from? Thin air? Just got established overnight? Happened to show up one day and poof it was there? Way out of bounds on this one but you do what you want. Not going to say anymore on the topic as I am an unrelated party practicing my edit skills on something I know about as in Canadian football at university level in Quebec.
Save the response for the next guy. Spam? Really? So much for detail and fact.

I disagree. I am not interested in writing about the award as the foundation is in Switzerland and my interest is football in Quebec at a university and junior football level. I am writing on what I know. I do not know Bellemare or Saint-Marche or Wally Buono personally. I write on them because they are from Quebec and that is my home town although I am in Southern Ontario now. I write on this to practice my English and structure as English is not my mother tongue. I also write on this because they re small articles and I can handle them as a novice. So what we are saying here is we can discuss a Ferrari model, say a BB 512, and never mentioned Enzo Ferrari designed it and gave "birth" tot his model. We don't need the founder of the company even though it was his or her idea? That's your position? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmerlino3 ( talk • contribs) 20:24, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Ponyo, I am not questioning your ability. Someone, say , Pininfarina ( http://www.pininfarina.it/index.html) would have had to made the design for Ferrari as they do for the majority of all Ferraris. Special designed Ferrari? Ok, lets stick with that? Who designed it for Pitt? How did it come about? Who drew the pictures? Was Pitt involved? I would not give the entire history of Pininfarina but it lends itself to a sentence or two and that is what I am being denied here. Where did this award, this national award, come from? Where did Pitts Ferrari come from as in who designed it? Same question, same answer. Besides these two small accounts are a couple of sentences each. Not like there is not room. You have your position and I have mine. You call it promotional and spam and I call it a fact that someone or some organization did this for Wally Buono. Wally Buono didn't have this done for himself. I attended one of these events in Montreal years ago and he spoke of the award and how it came about. You do what you have to do I guess. I already wrote to Wiki to close the account. Who needs this? To argue over one sentence of who founded an award that some player won? No, I am not interested in that. I am just trying to learn so i can contribute more but the headaches are more than one needs. I should have looked more at the non-wiki blogs closer. I have an entry on Wally Buono's wiki which lists all the players who won the award. I hope that can stay in place but I leave that to you. Some of wiki's editors, not you, are over the top with power and that is sad. Lots of people don't want the hassle of this so I have read and one has to wonder how much "good stuff" is lost because of it. Thank you, and I really do mean it, for your interaction.

Dear Wiki,
Please refer to the dispute over my editing changes to Edward J. Erickson - VIEWS. See link below.
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Edward.erickson&redirect=no
Some clown calling himself Darklordseth claims that he knows me personally. He does not. He keeps deleting the following phrase from the VIEWS part of the article:
", however, as a matter of fact his writing is limited to the Armenian rebellion and nowhere does Erickson address the genocide issue."
This is a factual phrase. I wrote it and it accurately describes my work. As a matter of accuracy regarding my "views", I would like the phrase included and I would like it to remain unaltered.
Can you assist me by verifiying my identity and then blocking anyone from changing the phrase? Thank you in advance.

Ponyo, I hope this finds you well.
My name is Dr. Noah Arthur Bardach. I am an art-historian specializing in post-Revolutionary Mexican political graphics, with a special emphasis on works by leftist political graphics collectives, including the Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP). In addition to my doctoral work, I served as an Expert in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress and have consulted with many major institutions on their collections of works by the TGP.
I maintain a free, non-commercial, academic website (Gráfica Mexicana), which provides access to the most comprehensive catalog available of works by the TGP. This catalog of more than 4200 entries is database-driven and also includes nearly 150 images of works by members of the TGP. The catalog is an invaluable resource for scholars of Mexican political graphics, providing a central point of reference for the examination of both individual artists and the group as a whole.
You recently removed a number of pointers to this site from the Extrenal Links section of articles about the Taller de Gráfica Popular and its individual members. These links referenced Gráfica Mexicana and cited the number of cataloged works from the specific artist that can be viewed there. I believe these are valid, non-pomotional pointers (again, the site is academic in nature and free of charge, nor does it support adveristing of any kind) that are viable and valuable information.
Could you please explain the rationale behind your action? If, perhaps, you misjudged the nature of these links, please replace my edits at your soonest convenience.
I look forward to hearing from you. [redact]

Thanks for your prompt and informative reply. I think I understand, now, why the links where removed. I will rewrite them with the guidelines in mind, using deep links to specific content wherever possible (as per #13). With regard to COI, I have no personal, commercial or financial interest in driving traffic to Gráfica Mexicana. Rather, my goal is to improve the information on Wikipedia and to make available information about the subjects therein to scholars and those interested in the subject. I believe this is in compliance with the COI guidelines you pointed me to. Once again, thanks for your attetion. — Preceding

Hi there! I just joined Wikipedia recently and today I have been adding some audio interviews to some articles from a site that I found really enlightening.

These conversations with the people I added to have been very interesting and I thought pretty helpful in seeing new and upcoming information regarding popular fictions.

Trimmed Back? Recent edits to the article completely eliminated the "Legal Troubles" section and omitted nearly all of the subject's extensive criminal past and convictions which were thoroughly referenced in news reports of the day. Heck, O'Neal's arrest for carrying a ballistic knife eventually led to federal legislation making such weapons illegal, just like the switchblade. Now all there is a brief paragraph on the subject's "Accidents". Good grief.

The Tom Zakrajsek article has been undergoing considerable recent vandalism, but shouldn't this be RevDeleted?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 00:43, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
The MTV bio page indeed mentioned that material, which is why I included it. It no longer mentions it, presumably because Padron complained to them, which is precisely what she should've done from the start. But this does not justify removing the citation from the passage, since other the material in that sentence still needs a cite, and is still supported by that webpage. I reverted the removal of the citation. Thanks. Nightscream ( talk) 19:37, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Shocked and surprised by this edit - did you even check what you were undoing? You have removed valid information in the infobox regarding his spell with Kettering, as well as a valid category... Giant Snowman 20:25, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
My editing of Hugh Judson Kilpatrick is good and proper to Wikipedia? I'm just afraid that you will block me again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.64.82.171 ( talk) 20:41, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
All local sources state that Scarborough (i.e Scarborough town) is Joanne'es place of birth & that she moved to Littlebeck as a small child which is a tiny village. I don't know her, so cannot ask! but we perhaps need some verification, as it seems a little vague?
Sorry!! sent that previous message to wrong person. You were the person that sent me the advice!
No,I've problem with you adding it back it - I'm not even sure how or why that article is on my watchlist, I guess I 'inherited' it from AN/I or somewhere. -- Cameron Scott ( talk) 07:50, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

First of all, I didn't blank anything. Aside from that, I see that you did not delete the ann-sheridan.com link, which is a fan site. Why delete one fan site and leave another? I'll abide by the rules but don't you think they should apply to everybody? Thank you. Randrall ( talk) 17:38, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
Please guide me to the Wiki information that says no fan sites shall be linked.
I think my site falls within one of these:
"A well-chosen link to a directory of websites or organizations. Long lists of links are not acceptable. A directory link may be a permanent link or a temporary measure put in place while external links are being discussed on the article's talk page. Many options are available; the Open Directory Project is often a neutral candidate, and may be added using the 7 Ponyo/Archive 7 at Curlie template. Sites that fail to meet criteria for reliable sources yet still contain information about the subject of the article from knowledgeable sources."
And you are doing a disservice to people who want more information about Ann Sheridan by excluding it.
I await your response.
Thanks,

Hi there PONYO, VASCO here,
tried to be polite with this user, blocked by you from what i see (please see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/195.245.149.70), regarding a difference of opinion we had (have?) in Domingos Paciência. What did i get? He BLANKED the page, without one word of reply...

Hello Jezebel's Ponyo, this is user Survir. Can you please block the following IP user 188.222.139.134. This user keeps vandalizing pages associated to this actor, Pallavi Kulkarni. He/she has been previously blocked as well for disruptive edits. By the way, you have also left a message on his/her talk page, but I guess that didn't do any good. He/she has recently removed info from Pallavi Kulkarni page without any proper notation. Please help! Thank you Survir ( talk) 01:27, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting vandalism on my user page! WikiPuppies! ( bark) 16:27, 6 December 2011 (UTC) |
How can you call allmusic.com more reliable than a government database? Who the hell made you to an administrator? Veromi.net has been given as a reference many times before in several other articles and no one has complained before. It's information comes from the authorites and can not be wrong. Besides, allmusic.com whick is provided for 1970 dosesn't even say that her DoB is 1970, but 1967. Perhaps someone should look over your administrator priviligies. Karbuncle ( talk) 20:45, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
And for Henry Silva, what would you consider as a reliable source, since you obviously don't even consider public records as one. There are millions of sites which gives his DoB as 15 September 1928. Are you saying that all these are unreliable? Karbuncle ( talk) 20:45, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
And as I said, veromi.net has been used as a source many times before, in several articles before from a lot more persons than me and no one has ever regarded it as unreliable before. I don't see how refering to public records where you can check it out black on white could be counting as "conjecture and inference". I would rather call it common sense.
So, now all references to birth dates must be in etablished media? In that case you'll have to remove the birth date from 90% of all articles on wikipedia. And trust me. I've no problems understanding wikipedias policies regarding sourcing and biographies. I just happen to have something called common sense, which you seem to be missing. Karbuncle ( talk) 22:10, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
Then I suggest you should be consistent and delete all previous references to veromi.net. It's just about 500 pages at least but I guess you gladly will do that since according to you, it was "consensus" that it was not a reliable source. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special%3ASearch&search=veromi.net. Though I don't understand how you can get about 3 users oppinions to be consensus, but that's another question. And what about ancestry.com? Is that just as unreliable according to you? Karbuncle ( talk) 22:43, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
I was not talking about reliable sources. I was talking about etablished media. Is that the only source that is reliable enough for you? Karbuncle ( talk) 22:43, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
I put it under scare brackets because consensus means that everbody agree, but 3 users is hardly everybody and therefore it can not be regarded as consensus. Perhaps you should learn the meaning of the word before you use it. If you disqualify ancestry with the reason that it's "user generated" you should disqualify books as well. It's the same thing. In fact, you would have to disqalify every source that's not a free web page. It would be vary hard to find sources with your criteria of reliable sources. Luckally, all admins are not like you. Ancestry for example has been approved as a source many times before, even by other administrators. Many questions have been solved through using ancestry in biographys Karbuncle ( talk) 23:49, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
And if I have edited under other accounts is none of your business. All I can say is that I have never discussed with you before Karbuncle ( talk) 23:51, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
Hello Jezebel's Ponyo, this is user Survir. I need your advise on how to fix issues on the following page, List of programs broadcast by Star Plus. All the shows that are listed under "Currently broadcast" list have wrong (false) information. Majority of the IP users keep adding wrong information (such as wrong air dates, changing names of Cast members who have worked or currently are working in the series, removing logo images, adding shows from different channels on STAR Plus page, etc...). I have been noticing the trend for a while and I believe this is mostly done by one user whose IP address keeps shifting. The current IP address of the user that is adding false information is User:86.171.233.197. I believe that the article should not exist on Wikipedia if it contains/provides wrong information (Wikipedia is not a Blog!). How to stop these users from making future disruptive edits. I will greatly appreciate your help. Thank you! Survir ( talk) 23:15, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ponyo, and thanks for setting me up with a talk page. On my recent edits: some editing of 'Bernard Cohen (Australian author)' appeared to be for the purpose of highlighting another page (Gangaroo) and therefore were not neutral. Thus my edits removed those references as well as updating the publications. Regarding the photograph, it appears to be a personal snapshot (and was earlier attributed to the owner of Gangaroo), rather than anything to do with the author in a professional capacity. It should be removed. Enthalpio ( talk) 23:18, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Ponyo, I understand your point. However, I work on his staff and his family information is part of his official Bio. The other part to this is that scammers often use his name with unwitting single ladies for financial gain. By having his family and marital status on the page it alleviates some of the issue.
As for neutrality, if you have better wording you are welcome to edit. Thanks Jt.thomas5 ( talk) 20:54, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
I understand. It is now cited from his official bio which is from the US Army's page. Two your second point about neutrality. I don't see the language as being biased. Regarding you last point. I also don't see a conflict of interest. I am closer to the facts than most people and have as much right to ensure that the Bio is accurate. Lastly, you never acknowledged the point that this page is most often edited to remove family information which enables unwitting people to be victimized. Jt.thomas5 ( talk) 22:23, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
Ponyo, Actually, that sentence works for me if it meets the guidelines. I have no interest in editing the page but continual deletion or distortion of his marital status is unacceptable. Feel free to keep an eye on it for vandalism. However, if it occurs and isn't fixed then I will fix it. Regards, Jt.thomas5 ( talk) 00:16, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
hey i see that you have deleted the page I have been trying to make for the band Memoira. I looked under the rules for being on Wikipedia and it said that you only need to meet on or more of the requirements and they meet some of them. I would like to create the page and if you could help so it won't get deleted again that would be very appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Finalhowling ( talk • contribs) 18:53, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello Jezebel's Ponyo, this is user Survir. Can you please delete the following template, Template:SO Shows. The template was created to list current shows of the channel, STAR One. The channel ceased its operation on December 16, 2011 ending all of its current shows that were on air. The channel is replaced by a new channel, Life OK. I will create the new template. Thank you! Survir ( talk) 01:04, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
Also, can you please block the following IP user, User:86.171.233.197. This is the same user we discussed earlier. You left a message on his/her talk page, but he/she continues making disruptive edits. Recently, he/she removed logo images and other information from various pages related to Indian television channels. I have reverted back some of the edits made by this user. Please help! Thank you. Survir ( talk) 00:25, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
I apologise for the trouble, can you also please move the following page Beend to its original title Beend Banoongaa Ghodi Chadhunga. Some new user moved the page stating the title has been changed. Well it has not been changed. I have checked the official site of the series on Imagine TV, other sources, and also watched the last episode, which still shows its original title. Therefore, can you please move the page. Thank you! Survir ( talk) 16:10, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

C'mon bro. We all know that David Guetta is nowhere close to a French House DJ. French Touch / Neu Disco / French House has a distinct sound using strictly 80s R'n'B or Disco samples. David Guetta makes Ibiza House or Spanish House or maybe Disco House, but not French House. Please change it since you are an autoconfirmed user. -- Trickymaster ( talk) 09:42, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello. Re the removal of information on Tom Williams, I tried a different form of words, removing any mention of him signing for Kettering but keeping the game he played for them, sourced to the club site, but Tombola3 ( talk · contribs) doesn't appear to like that either, and still won't discuss the matter. Thought you might like to know... cheers, Struway2 ( talk) 17:19, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
As will be obvious, I'm new to Wikipedia editing. I'm hoping I can get clarification over having entries edited or deleted without requesting citations first. I went to lengths to add factual material to the Simms Taback page after learning he had died on December 25, 2011. If I read the record correctly, the fact that he died had been deleted, due to a lack of attribution, but was later reinstated once it had been attributed to the website http://www.simmstaback.com. Interesting in that I am also the webmaster for said website, and could well "attribuate" any statement of fact or non-fact to the site - and back it up on the site. Also, I entered material augmenting listings of some of this author's key works. These credits are in print, but do not exist on the web. I assumed that if someone wished to challenge them, or request a citation, such a request would be made on the page (ie citation needed) rather than deleting facts that had been researched.
