Hello, Ritchie333. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Harlan Cage".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian ( talk) 14:05, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for all the comments. I inadvertently looked at my watchlist and consequently got motiviated to fix a bunch of errors, mostly unsourced content or IPs adding opinions or unclear information with no explanation on GAs. So I guess I can't consider myself "retired". My personal life finally looks like it's on the way up, so I would hope that the depression-related outbursts and attacks I have sporadically made over the past year will no longer occur. I don't like doing this, as it looks like a classic "diva flounce" one-month break, gathering sympathy for the "retired" message, and then suddenly bouncing back when everything's died down. However, I have been in conversation with Arbcom off-wiki and Worm That Turned has been particularly helpful, and I think an understanding has been achieved, or is in the process of being achieved.
Meanwhile, I would re-iterate that I am not happy with Fastily's "shoot first and ask questions later" attitude here, and I believe Iridescent has had cause to complain about them as well. I'm not going to run off to Arbcom to request a desysop, because life's too short and frankly they all need a break before the whole lot of them retire from exhaustion.

Having just seen your username appear in the history page at an RfA, I came over here and was really encouraged to see you've started contributing once again. I spent ages last month, trying to draft an email massage of support to you. But none of the versions I wrote seemed to say anything better than those who had already posted on your talk page, so it seemed best not to message you and possibly make matters feel worse. Time, they say, is a great healer, and Wikipedia is not only incredibly addictive, and needy of competent editors and admins like you. So, I hope you'll ease yourself back in gently, take care, and really feel welcomed once again. Regards, Nick Moyes ( talk) 23:03, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

I've already asked at WT:GM but I think that (literally) every single person other than Sitush is now either blocked or retired, and he won't be interested—can you see any way to salvage The Piccadilly Rats? I'm reluctant to delete something that someone has obviously put a lot of work into, but this seems the absolute epitome of "unsuccessful local band who happened to get a couple of mentions in the local paper", and although it survived an AfD previously IMO both "keep" voters were clearly incorrect; if "got a couple of mentions in the local freesheet" is enough to pass GNG then I could probably write a Wikipedia-compliant article on every individual Greggs. ‑ Iridescent 20:00, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
Your contribution on my talk page is an example of power abuse. Obviously I hit a very soft spot in your armor. You are threatening me with actions, when there is no consensus that I have done anything wrong: The boilerplate oppose will never swing any RFA. Just ignore it. Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship, and I can't agree with you all that this is inappropriate. I'm sure Joe is sincere in his answers but let's not pretend admin recall is a real thing that gets used and is binding. I'll agree that this isn't a great reason to oppose and I find it unpersuasive, but to act like they don't even have a right to say it is ridiculous. Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/GermanJoe You obviously got so mad that you had to search the archives, and dig out the only transgression I ever have made, and threaten with further actions. Why are you so threatened? Why do you ignore my many good contributions? Unlike you, I can write in 3-4 other language versions, if power hungry administrators shut me out from enwp.

I do not understand why. Briefly I read somewhere infringement of copyright on Opera Australia page that was placed as external link. I can not understand in which way that could possibly be infringement of copyright - it is a formal Opera Australia page that describes the artist that works there. A As I understand the process of publishing a new article, the article was to be reviewed and I make changes before it is published. I will change anything that you find is not as it should be for Wikipedia rules Even bigger problem, I do not have a copy of the article, because I thought it would take weeks to get a review, and in that period I can continue to add and delete parts of the article. I have made many changes daily, and was not saving elsewhere So, can you put it back, so I can at least make a copy of it, and I would be happy to delete all bits that are not as they should be. This is my first article. user Gagagracija — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gagagracija ( talk • contribs) 22:18, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
Ok I read about policies and I understand now more. Maybe you cold have asked me to clarify that issue before deleting ALL (G12. Unambiguous copyright infringement: This applies to text pages that contain copyrighted material with no credible assertion of public domain, fair use, or a compatible free license, where there is no non-infringing content on the page worth saving. Only if the history is unsalvageably corrupted should it be deleted in its entirety; earlier versions without infringement should be retained. - That link to Opera Australia has not been there forever I am still making the article, and the rest of the article is useful. Now that I understand better, I will go and check any links to see if there are any similar copywright restrictions (as on that Opera Australia website) 1) Could you return my article at least for a day (as it is not lost completely) so I can make a copy of it 2) I can remove the reference to Opera Australia webpage that has a copyright, and when I get a written permission form Opera Australia (as it shows on Opera Australia website: Website Copyright and Disclaimer: Unless otherwise stated, all content on this website is copyright Opera Australia and must not be re-used without prior written permission from Opera Australia) Ii can re-insert that link. 3) in any case that external link was there as a reference for more information about the topic in the article.

UPDATE: now I believe the problem is that some if the information in my article is very similar to contents on copywrighted Opera Australia webpage (and not the Opera Australia webpage that I have as external link). That is so because I did find some of the information on that Opera Australia webpage. Which means I need to re-write that part of the article, so it does not seem as taken from copywrigted owner (Opera Australia) Please confirm that is the case here, and please restore Draft:Dragana Radakovic and I will re-write that section, and insert reference to point where the info came from (from that page on Opera Australia webpage).

To ask Gerda Arendt is absolutely brilliant! She would be perfect to look at the text.
I will provide some more details which might assist:
The information that is in PROFESSIONAL SOPRANO CAREER section (which violated the copyright, sorry sorry 1000 times) is available on at least 4 copyrighted sites, 99.99% word for word copy-paste: [2] (the most complete info as it also covers 2017-2019 performances in more detail, in English and in Italian) [3] (the website that was listed in the reason for deletion) [4] (not as detailed as the others but what is there agrees to the other three). [5]
In addition to my copyright stuff-up:
After reading more about wiki rules and policies, I would delete all links to YouTube video samples inserted in REPERTOIRE section because they are likely to have copyright issues. (still, wiki article about Placido Domingo in External links points to songs at: [6] and on copyright page it states no permissions [7] … does not matter, I do like Domingo). Please advise, do you agree it is good to delete all YouTube links in Repertoire section of my article?
Also, I would delete complete section CRITICAL REVIEWS. Now it seems to me that such section does not fit completely well into a wiki article, even that it is informative, true and interesting to read/know. Sections with similar information are common when dealing with Awards and/or Honours (not quite the same, but somewhat similar). Could not see Critics/Reviews section in the other similar articles, even that writers must have had access to relevant critics’ reviews. Not sure why exactly, but to delete that section is most likely a good idea. Is there a related policy, or a guideline?
In the case the article goes into a stub, after reading about stub articles I believe the suitable categories would be: Culture > Music > Music biography > singer Category:Singer stubs > Category:Opera singer stubs > Template:Australia-opera-singer-stub Category:Singer stubs > Category:Opera singer stubs > Category:European opera singer stubs Culture > Music > Music biography > conductor > Category:European conductor (music) stubs

So Ritchie333 I have discovered you are an administrator and you have blocked my IP recent for "vandalism". Be honest it was for criticising your poor writing. Your definition of vandalism seems to be "reverted my edits" or "dared to copyedit my article", so it's not really fair for an administrator to bully an IP in this way is it? After all Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit, even IPs. I have copyedited lots of poorly written articles over ten years, have never been described as a vandal or been blocked so that was a novel experience. FYI, stations don't "sit", proposal and proposed in same sentence is not optimal, dual is for carriageways and double is for track, and the sudden mention of harbour duties needs clarification. As you are so attached to the prose and an administrator then so be it. 188.31.142.231 ( talk) 12:15, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello R. I saw this and thought it might work as a list. Are there enough pubs mentioned to sustain a whole article? One thing that would enhance it is a table with pics - List of English monarchs is one of many examples. Maybe we could go on a pub crawl to take those pics. My liver might be too much the worse for wear to sustain that though :-) Cheers. MarnetteD| Talk 15:51, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I'm a bit confused by your CSD denial of Raluca Petruș. Notability guidelines have no bearing on creations of socks of banned users. WP:BAN says "Unless otherwise specified, a ban is a site ban. An editor who is site-banned is forbidden from making any edit, anywhere on Wikipedia, via any account or as an unregistered user, under any and all circumstances. The only exception is that editors with talk page access may appeal in accordance with the provisions below." And per WP:3X they are site banned. Kb03 ( talk) 17:53, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
I would like Berean Hunter's view on this, particularly in conjunction with the above thread. More specifically, would he deem it acceptable and within the bounds of administrator discretion to use rollback on any edit by the ranges 188.30.0.0/16 and 92.40.0.0/16 as suspected activity by sockpuppets of a banned user, enforced by range blocks if necessary? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:10, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
I guess it's not vandalism, but I think the IP in question is unwilling to establish a consensus on changing the gender noun and has been edit warring for quite some time with other editors. This is just going to run and run. My understanding is the consensus across Wikipedia is for gender neutral language, and this usage, which neither the sources, nor the subject herself, nor even the subject page comedian itself uses, looks like point of view pushing. I'm interested to hear what you would suggest next. I think Kate Smurthwaite's page gets a lot of disruption because of the nature of her feminist comedy. Cheers.

@ The Rambling Man:, @ Redrose64:, @ DavidCane: - Every now and again, I think about taking an established GA to FA, and this is one possible candidate. Since passing GA 2 1/2 years ago, I've added about 5K of prose, copyedited a bit, reorganised some of the pictures and boxes to be more presentable, and mined more book sources in my local library. I'm starting to get to the point of diminishing returns where I find additional book sources are just repeating what I've already cited, which is generally a signal that it might pass 1b + 1c. The MOS terrifies me, and I've never been particularly confident I can write 1a quality prose. What do you lot think? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:32, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

As you are so attached to the prose and an administrator then so be it. 188.31.142.231 ( talk) 12:15, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
Since the pagemove rights don't seem to be working, could you please perform the pagemove for me? Like a River to the Sea (song) -> Like a River to the Sea. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 05:23, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello R. I saw this and thought it might work as a list. Are there enough pubs mentioned to sustain a whole article? One thing that would enhance it is a table with pics - List of English monarchs is one of many examples. Maybe we could go on a pub crawl to take those pics. My liver might be too much the worse for wear to sustain that though :-) Cheers. MarnetteD| Talk 15:51, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I'm a bit confused by your CSD denial of Raluca Petruș. Notability guidelines have no bearing on creations of socks of banned users. WP:BAN says "Unless otherwise specified, a ban is a site ban. An editor who is site-banned is forbidden from making any edit, anywhere on Wikipedia, via any account or as an unregistered user, under any and all circumstances. The only exception is that editors with talk page access may appeal in accordance with the provisions below." And per WP:3X they are site banned. Kb03 ( talk) 17:53, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
I would like Berean Hunter's view on this, particularly in conjunction with the above thread. More specifically, would he deem it acceptable and within the bounds of administrator discretion to use rollback on any edit by the ranges 188.30.0.0/16 and 92.40.0.0/16 as suspected activity by sockpuppets of a banned user, enforced by range blocks if necessary?

I guess it's not vandalism, but I think the IP in question is unwilling to establish a consensus on changing the gender noun and has been edit warring for quite some time with other editors. This is just going to run and run. My understanding is the consensus across Wikipedia is for gender neutral language, and this usage, which neither the sources, nor the subject herself, nor even the subject page comedian itself uses, looks like point of view pushing. I'm interested to hear what you would suggest next. I think Kate Smurthwaite's page gets a lot of disruption because of the nature of her feminist comedy. Cheers.

@ The Rambling Man:, @ Redrose64:, @ DavidCane: - Every now and again, I think about taking an established GA to FA, and this is one possible candidate. Since passing GA 2 1/2 years ago, I've added about 5K of prose, copyedited a bit, reorganised some of the pictures and boxes to be more presentable, and mined more book sources in my local library. I'm starting to get to the point of diminishing returns where I find additional book sources are just repeating what I've already cited, which is generally a signal that it might pass 1b + 1c. The MOS terrifies me, and I've never been particularly confident I can write 1a quality prose. What do you lot think? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:32, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
