Hi, concerning the article List of Diversity Organizations in Utah, is it the topic that is not good or the fact of the many external links? In this last case, it can be fixed by eliminating the "linkfarm" and put the links in the "notes" section. Please let me know.
Concerning the topic itself: I think that there are already similar lists in wikipedia:
And more. I think that it would be fair to propose for delition also the similar ones, unless it is a problem of the links to external sources. Adrian Comollo ( talk) 15:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Please forgive me for temporarily editing this area, btu I could not find any other way to contact you. I noticed in a bulletin (found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_LGBT_studies/Archive_9 ) that you mentioned possible upcoming wiki projects on a number of people, one including Adrian Exley. Adrian was my Big Brother, and i also run The Adrian Exley Foundation, after setting it up in His name last year. If you wish to contact me to discuss further info etc if and when you decided to create a page on Adrian, I would be happy to hear from you and help/contribute in any way i can. my email is: bananacologne AT gmail DOT com regards, fang —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.195.236.133 ( talk) 02:16, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
OK - there's been no complaints, so I think you can make a regular thing of the Wine to-do list on Mondays and Thursdays - I'll do something pretty with the output when I've a moment. Could you do a trial run of the tag-adding bot, produce a list of the articles that would be tagged? The category list seems stable and wholly-owned, but it would be nice to eyeball the article list before it goes ahead and does anything major. Italy can wait another week or two, the assessment of what is already there has turned into a major sort out of 8000-odd town articles. :-(( FlagSteward ( talk) 13:04, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry AgnosticPreachersKid, but not this kind of user behavior. The WP:AIN is supposed to report on abnormal user behavior such as evasion of blocks, abuse of admin tools, persistent vandalism, persistent spamming. Again, these pages are not the place to raise disputes over content, or reports of abusive behavior. Please take such disputes to requests for comment, requests for mediation, or requests for arbitration rather than in the WP:AIN. And please, be communicative, You just left a message to SatyrTN. Please, SatyrTN, I ask you to delete this entry in the WP:AIN. Cheers.

The article Intereffectuality, which I nominated for AfD and you deleted, went quicker than I was expecting, and there is something about it I would like to check.

I'm requesting that you undelete this image because it was used in two articles Sons of Confederate Veterans and Vehicle registration plate as recently was yesterday.

I am perplexed by your assertion that there is no reference to Billing's homophobia in the article. Have you read the article? Of course it is mentioned. Homophobia is one of the two things he is now best known for. He's known essentially for his activities as an aviator/promotor of air power and for his activity as an anti-homosexual activist. There has been a great deal written about this, notably Philip Hoare's book Oscar Wilde's Last Stand [1] and Michael Kettle's Salome's Last Veil: The Libel Case of the Century (1977). The case is also well known for the fact that Lord Alfred Douglas appeared in Billing's favour and that it is supposed to have hastened the death of Robert Ross. This is discussed in biographies of Douglas and Ross. All in all Billing is very well known as a major figure in promoting early 20th century homophobia. Paul B ( talk) 15:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi! A new user, ChaosBaby, just did a new article on a San Francisco-based belly dance company which began as a clear-cut copyvio. I stepped in and helped her clean it up. She's asked via my talk page if you'd consider undeleting her original contribution at Carolena Nericcio. I got about 7000 Google hits, most of which seem to be relative to the subject. Seems she's a heavy hitter in the belly dancing field. I can help her bring it up to snuff if you feel it's OK to restore the article.

You have deleted a page which describes the life of this official recordman in rubik's cube (with an official link to prove it) for notability problem, and i think it's more weird that you have no problem to accept articles about some unknown porn stars (i never saw their performance and few did i guess).

Probably best if we put the articles from the category into a new separate section ("Backlog of articles for assessment"), to avoid over-writing any manually added editor requests.

Hi, I deleted Fatherhood dreams as a copyvio yesterday after you marked it for deletion, but the author of the page claims he wrote the website as well and owns the copyright. It wouldn't qualify for CSD then but from what I can see the film doesn't appear notable anyway, so you might want to bring it to AfD. Just letting you know. shoeofdeath 19:34, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello again, my friend. Just a question. I am attempting to add some color and flesh out a story that appears on wikipedia. I assume that one thing that wikipedia wants is some exclusive content. I am attempting to add a bit of that to a piece. I can verify my sources. Is there a way perhaps to correspond in email about this? In any case, thanks. MarmadukePercy ( talk) 21:16, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey SatyrTN, I was wondering if you (your bot specifically) would be able to do a pretty simple but useful task for me. Would your bot be able to add |importance= to all {{
WikiProject Green Bay Packers}} to the pages in
Category:Unknown-importance Green Bay Packers articles? So basically all the articles in the category have on their talk pages {{GreenBayPackersProject|class=ARTICLE CLASS}}, so all the bot would need to do is make it look like {{WikiProject Green Bay Packers|class=ARTICLE CLASS|importance=}} (where ARTICLE CLASS is stub/start/B/etc). The reason for this is so my assessment script notices the importance parameter so I can assess the articles quicker. Thanks!

Question--There are individuals for whom their LGBT status is widely known by colleagues, but the fact has not been mentioned in print (or if mentioned, the print reference has not been discovered).

In the Western Church, Easter has not fallen on the earliest of the 35 possible dates, March 22, since 1818, and will not do so again until 2285.

Hi, Satyr. You'll remember that you and your bot did some excellent work for us (on the Wagner sub-project) a few months ago. How are you fixed at present? We'd like to dip a bigger toe in the assessment process by automatically giving a "Start" rating to those articles that are tagged with the Opera Project banner and are not already classified as Stub.
Exceptions: articles which have been promoted to Good Article, Featured Article or Featured List should show those ratings on the banner. Also, it would be good if any articles which currently show Stub on the banner but have been manually de-stubbed without the banner having been altered could be rated Start.
We'd like the facility to comment when we start doing the assessments. For the Wagner project, you organised it so that the banner carries a dormant link: if a comments page is present, there's a link, but if not, not. The link will nevertheless appear (and work) if a comments page is subsequently added.
I can give some examples of the various possibilities outlined above if that would help, and you might like to review our correspondence about the Wagner project to refresh your memory of what you did then (also to refresh your memory of how useless we were then at specifying what exactly we wanted, maybe!).
Hope to hear from you when you have a moment. Best. -- GuillaumeTell ( talk) 01:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
So I was reading about WP:PR and WP:GA. I'm trying to get Clarence Lightner (and eventually Leonard Hall (Shaw University) to GA status. Should an article be a certain length to get that status? Lightner is kinda short compared to some articles, but what's on there is just about all the information I can find on him. I know they will never be a FA, but GA is good enough for me and I want to have one of those under my belt. Is it better to ask for a peer review before nominating the article for GA? I don't know if you've contributed to a GA, but I thought I'd ask. AgnosticPreachersKid ( talk) 23:19, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AND1 logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Hello, SatyrTN. I've noticed you've been converting some images from JPEG to PNG recently. While I appreciate your effort to improve these images, I don't think your method of converting the JPEGs directly to PNGs is very helpful. The main problem with JPEGs, when used for text, screenshots, maps, diagrams, flags, and other images with sharp edges and big blocks of solid colors, is that the JPEG algorithm introduces compression artifacts into the image, which are practically invisible in photographs but stand out as "fuzz" in non-photographic images. These compression artifacts allow JPEG to produce smaller file sizes for photographs, but they don't help much for non-photographic images, for which PNG is a better choice. When you see the {{ badJPEG}} or {{ ShouldBePNG}} tag on a JPEG image, it generally means that the JPEG compression artifacts are distracting in the image, or that a smaller file size could have been achieved if the image had been originally saved as a PNG (usually both). However, when you simply convert the JPEG image to a PNG, the compression artifacts introduced when the file was saved in the JPEG format are still there, resulting in a fuzzy-looking PNG. Worse, such compression artifacts often cause PNG to produce a much larger file size than the original JPEG! So the best course of action is to recreate the image from scratch, or find a version of the image which has never been saved as a JPEG and save that as a PNG. This will result in a clean PNG image, often with a smaller file size than JPEG would have given.
Please take a look at Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload for more information, especially the section called " Do not save diagrams as JPEG". Let me know if you have any questions. — Bkell ( talk) 03:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Well thanks for you willingness to help. The thing that turned me off about that template was the fact that, try as I might, I could not get rid of a space after the first item when I placed it on Talk:Ronald Reagan.

You removed the speedy tag from this article- can I just ask why? We were discussing the matter on the talk page, and the author has failed to bring forth any reliable sources. Would you mind if I deleted the article, or are you seeing something I'm not? J Milburn ( talk) 13:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Simply counting raw !votes, and excluding those of the SPA's I tagged (Lenoil odarama does have contributions outside the topic, and from several months previous, so I'm assuming good faith on him) the discussion came out to 7 keeps and 4 delete (counting your nomination). Looking into the discussion itself, the arguments for deletion could be summarized as a violation of WP:NOT#NEWS. While that is a valid concern, this was refuted by the keep arguments - that there is sufficient referencing to justify the article, the article expands beyond the scope of a simple news article, and there is precedent to allow such articles. 9/11 was a horrible example for the last argument, however, I'll give you that - but WP:OSE does acknowledge that "other stuff exists" arguments can be validly used in this manner, as it was by Starczamora with Edison Chen photo scandal. The bottom line is, there was a clear consensus not to delete the article, but rather to continue to expand it and improve upon it as necessary. I hope this explains things.

Hi SatyrTN! The difference between Category:LGBT case law and Category:United States gay rights cases is simple: the second category only deals with US cases, whereas the first deals with LGBT cases all over the world. As you can see, the first category includes a 1998 LGBT case in South Africa as well as a 1997 LGBT case in Ecuador (I created both articles in the last two days). Of course, the category is not yet very populated since it has just been created, but I intend to create several other articles about LGBT cases to populate it (in fact, Wikipedia already has many such articles which I have not yet categorized and which perfectly fit in this category).

On your userpage you claim to be an inclusionist, but you are really bent on deleting Joshua Plague. What gives? ;-) Yilloslime (t) 20:39, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
(outdent) Hi, Yilloslime! I ran across Plague and Mukilteo Fairies because of the LGBT WikiProject. We have an on-going project to make sure every person categorized as LGBT has appropriate RS citations, partly to help create List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people, and partly to cut down on vandalism, and partly to abide by WP:BLP. Plague is in Category:Queercore and Category:LGBT musicians from the United States, so he's on the "to-do" list. When I started looking for a reference for his being gay or bisexual, I realized there was a lack of WP:RS material. That's when I prodded it, that's when you added quite a few references (though I question their RS value), and at least the article *looks* much better. You mentioned that Plague is pre-interweb - are there any good books or movies that might be able to help? I've searched Google Books, but probably not very thoroughly.
So, a bit of my own rambling later, I'll conclude by saying I'm not on any sort of clean-out-the-chaff kick. Of the articles you mentioned, only Mecca Normal comes close to being anywhere near my normal subjects, so I probably wont run roughshod over any of them :) Sorry for being such a bother, and I hope there's no hard feelings.

It is taking me a while to get my head round how everything works on wiki, I keep getting tagged for things accidently before I even get chance to spot and change my own mistakes, Hope my revised article is ok. Let me know, take care ChaosBaby ( talk) 02:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you deleted the article Malcolm Johnson (Director) a couple of days ago, even though the talk page mentioned the article was built from material released into the public domain. In such cases, you're supposed to (short version) instruct the editor to mail permissions-en at wikimedia dot org, to show that they're authored to use the content.
Furthermore, you blocked the account based on the username policy, without any warning, or reasoned discussion. People are usually very open to eg. username changes, but simply notifying them they've been blocked with a template is a horrible idea. In a case like this, when dealing with a representative of an organization, you'll end up creating bad publicity for Wikipedia, and drive away knowledgeable contributors. So in short, I'd appreciate if you undeleted things, listed it on WP:CP instead to wait for a confirmation e-mail, and unblocked the user, while leaving a comment about the naming policy instead. Or barring that, I'll do it if you want that instead. Thanks. - Bobet 23:50, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, concerning the article List of Diversity Organizations in Utah, is it the topic that is not good or the fact of the many external links? In this last case, it can be fixed by eliminating the "linkfarm" and put the links in the "notes" section. Please let me know.
Concerning the topic itself: I think that there are already similar lists in wikipedia:
And more. I think that it would be fair to propose for delition also the similar ones, unless it is a problem of the links to external sources. Adrian Comollo ( talk) 15:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

OK - there's been no complaints, so I think you can make a regular thing of the Wine to-do list on Mondays and Thursdays - I'll do something pretty with the output when I've a moment. Could you do a trial run of the tag-adding bot, produce a list of the articles that would be tagged? The category list seems stable and wholly-owned, but it would be nice to eyeball the article list before it goes ahead and does anything major. Italy can wait another week or two, the assessment of what is already there has turned into a major sort out of 8000-odd town articles. :-(( FlagSteward ( talk) 13:04, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Again, these pages are not the place to raise disputes over content, or reports of abusive behavior. Please take such disputes to requests for comment, requests for mediation, or requests for arbitration rather than in the WP:AIN. And please, be communicative, You just left a message to SatyrTN.

I am perplexed by your assertion that there is no reference to Billing's homophobia in the article. Have you read the article? Of course it is mentioned. Homophobia is one of the two things he is now best known for. He's known essentially for his activities as an aviator/promotor of air power and for his activity as an anti-homosexual activist. There has been a great deal written about this, notably Philip Hoare's book Oscar Wilde's Last Stand [1] and Michael Kettle's Salome's Last Veil: The Libel Case of the Century (1977). The case is also well known for the fact that Lord Alfred Douglas appeared in Billing's favour and that it is supposed to have hastened the death of Robert Ross. This is discussed in biographies of Douglas and Ross. All in all Billing is very well known as a major figure in promoting early 20th century homophobia. Paul B ( talk) 15:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi! A new user, ChaosBaby, just did a new article on a San Francisco-based belly dance company which began as a clear-cut copyvio. I stepped in and helped her clean it up. She's asked via my talk page if you'd consider undeleting her original contribution at Carolena Nericcio. I got about 7000 Google hits, most of which seem to be relative to the subject. Seems she's a heavy hitter in the belly dancing field. I can help her bring it up to snuff if you feel it's OK to restore the article.

Hi, I deleted Fatherhood dreams as a copyvio yesterday after you marked it for deletion, but the author of the page claims he wrote the website as well and owns the copyright.

Hello again, my friend. Just a question. I am attempting to add some color and flesh out a story that appears on wikipedia. I assume that one thing that wikipedia wants is some exclusive content. I am attempting to add a bit of that to a piece. I can verify my sources. Is there a way perhaps to correspond in email about this? In any case, thanks.

Hey SatyrTN, I was wondering if you (your bot specifically) would be able to do a pretty simple but useful task for me. Would your bot be able to add |importance= to all {{
WikiProject Green Bay Packers}} to the pages in
Category:Unknown-importance Green Bay Packers articles? So basically all the articles in the category have on their talk pages {{GreenBayPackersProject|class=ARTICLE CLASS}}, so all the bot would need to do is make it look like {{WikiProject Green Bay Packers|class=ARTICLE CLASS|importance=}} (where ARTICLE CLASS is stub/start/B/etc). The reason for this is so my assessment script notices the importance parameter so I can assess the articles quicker. Thanks!

Hi, Satyr. You'll remember that you and your bot did some excellent work for us (on the Wagner sub-project) a few months ago. How are you fixed at present? We'd like to dip a bigger toe in the assessment process by automatically giving a "Start" rating to those articles that are tagged with the Opera Project banner and are not already classified as Stub.
Exceptions: articles which have been promoted to Good Article, Featured Article or Featured List should show those ratings on the banner. Also, it would be good if any articles which currently show Stub on the banner but have been manually de-stubbed without the banner having been altered could be rated Start.
We'd like the facility to comment when we start doing the assessments. For the Wagner project, you organised it so that the banner carries a dormant link: if a comments page is present, there's a link, but if not, not. The link will nevertheless appear (and work) if a comments page is subsequently added.
I can give some examples of the various possibilities outlined above if that would help, and you might like to review our correspondence about the Wagner project to refresh your memory of what you did then (also to refresh your memory of how useless we were then at specifying what exactly we wanted, maybe!).
Hope to hear from you when you have a moment. Best. -- GuillaumeTell ( talk) 01:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
So I was reading about WP:PR and WP:GA. I'm trying to get Clarence Lightner (and eventually Leonard Hall (Shaw University) to GA status. Should an article be a certain length to get that status? Lightner is kinda short compared to some articles, but what's on there is just about all the information I can find on him. I know they will never be a FA, but GA is good enough for me and I want to have one of those under my belt. Is it better to ask for a peer review before nominating the article for GA? I don't know if you've contributed to a GA, but I thought I'd ask. AgnosticPreachersKid ( talk) 23:19, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AND1 logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Hello, SatyrTN. I've noticed you've been converting some images from JPEG to PNG recently. While I appreciate your effort to improve these images, I don't think your method of converting the JPEGs directly to PNGs is very helpful. The main problem with JPEGs, when used for text, screenshots, maps, diagrams, flags, and other images with sharp edges and big blocks of solid colors, is that the JPEG algorithm introduces compression artifacts into the image, which are practically invisible in photographs but stand out as "fuzz" in non-photographic images. These compression artifacts allow JPEG to produce smaller file sizes for photographs, but they don't help much for non-photographic images, for which PNG is a better choice. When you see the {{ badJPEG}} or {{ ShouldBePNG}} tag on a JPEG image, it generally means that the JPEG compression artifacts are distracting in the image, or that a smaller file size could have been achieved if the image had been originally saved as a PNG (usually both). However, when you simply convert the JPEG image to a PNG, the compression artifacts introduced when the file was saved in the JPEG format are still there, resulting in a fuzzy-looking PNG. Worse, such compression artifacts often cause PNG to produce a much larger file size than the original JPEG! So the best course of action is to recreate the image from scratch, or find a version of the image which has never been saved as a JPEG and save that as a PNG. This will result in a clean PNG image, often with a smaller file size than JPEG would have given.
Please take a look at Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload for more information, especially the section called " Do not save diagrams as JPEG". Let me know if you have any questions. — Bkell ( talk) 03:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

You removed the speedy tag from this article- can I just ask why? We were discussing the matter on the talk page, and the author has failed to bring forth any reliable sources. Would you mind if I deleted the article, or are you seeing something I'm not? J Milburn ( talk) 13:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Simply counting raw !votes, and excluding those of the SPA's I tagged (Lenoil odarama does have contributions outside the topic, and from several months previous, so I'm assuming good faith on him) the discussion came out to 7 keeps and 4 delete (counting your nomination). Looking into the discussion itself, the arguments for deletion could be summarized as a violation of WP:NOT#NEWS. While that is a valid concern, this was refuted by the keep arguments - that there is sufficient referencing to justify the article, the article expands beyond the scope of a simple news article, and there is precedent to allow such articles. 9/11 was a horrible example for the last argument, however, I'll give you that - but WP:OSE does acknowledge that "other stuff exists" arguments can be validly used in this manner, as it was by Starczamora with Edison Chen photo scandal. The bottom line is, there was a clear consensus not to delete the article, but rather to continue to expand it and improve upon it as necessary. I hope this explains things.

Hi SatyrTN! The difference between Category:LGBT case law and Category:United States gay rights cases is simple: the second category only deals with US cases, whereas the first deals with LGBT cases all over the world. As you can see, the first category includes a 1998 LGBT case in South Africa as well as a 1997 LGBT case in Ecuador (I created both articles in the last two days). Of course, the category is not yet very populated since it has just been created, but I intend to create several other articles about LGBT cases to populate it (in fact, Wikipedia already has many such articles which I have not yet categorized and which perfectly fit in this category).

On your userpage you claim to be an inclusionist, but you are really bent on deleting Joshua Plague. What gives? ;-) Yilloslime (t) 20:39, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
(outdent) Hi, Yilloslime! I ran across Plague and Mukilteo Fairies because of the LGBT WikiProject. We have an on-going project to make sure every person categorized as LGBT has appropriate RS citations, partly to help create List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people, and partly to cut down on vandalism, and partly to abide by WP:BLP. Plague is in Category:Queercore and Category:LGBT musicians from the United States, so he's on the "to-do" list. When I started looking for a reference for his being gay or bisexual, I realized there was a lack of WP:RS material. That's when I prodded it, that's when you added quite a few references (though I question their RS value), and at least the article *looks* much better. You mentioned that Plague is pre-interweb - are there any good books or movies that might be able to help? I've searched Google Books, but probably not very thoroughly.
So, a bit of my own rambling later, I'll conclude by saying I'm not on any sort of clean-out-the-chaff kick. Of the articles you mentioned, only Mecca Normal comes close to being anywhere near my normal subjects, so I probably wont run roughshod over any of them :) Sorry for being such a bother, and I hope there's no hard feelings.

Thank you for your comment! I have re-written the article, would you mind taking a look?
It is taking me a while to get my head round how everything works on wiki, I keep getting tagged for things accidently before I even get chance to spot and change my own mistakes, Hope my revised article is ok. Let me know, take care ChaosBaby ( talk) 02:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
I recently uploaded an image you might find handy:
The SVG conversion left a bunch of gaps I didn't have a chance to fix... plus I deleted one of his hooves... if you use this yourself and decide to touch it up, feel free to upload your fixes! -- ❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 04:09, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
I would like to commend you for your tireless work in making sure that LGBT issues are covered in a fair and balanced way on wikipedia. Well done! Contaldo80 ( talk) 09:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, you deleted the article Malcolm Johnson (Director) a couple of days ago, even though the talk page mentioned the article was built from material released into the public domain. In such cases, you're supposed to (short version) instruct the editor to mail permissions-en at wikimedia dot org, to show that they're authored to use the content.
Furthermore, you blocked the account based on the username policy, without any warning, or reasoned discussion. People are usually very open to eg. username changes, but simply notifying them they've been blocked with a template is a horrible idea. In a case like this, when dealing with a representative of an organization, you'll end up creating bad publicity for Wikipedia, and drive away knowledgeable contributors. So in short, I'd appreciate if you undeleted things, listed it on WP:CP instead to wait for a confirmation e-mail, and unblocked the user, while leaving a comment about the naming policy instead. Or barring that, I'll do it if you want that instead. Thanks. - Bobet 23:50, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
