I think that N94228 misunderstands one of the criteria for speedy deletion. (It isn't clear whether he or she understands anything about Wikipedia.) Articles written by banned or blocked users can be deleted. N94228 apparently is concerned that he or she is about to be blocked, which may happen if he or she continues making idle accusations. However, the deletion rule does not apply to users who are blocked or banned after writing the articles. It only applies to users who are already blocked or banned, and so never should have written the articles, but were evading the block, typically by sock-puppetry. Now that reliable sources have been added, the article should not be deleted either for lack of notability or for sockpuppetry. Thank you for adding references.

You know, the OED supports "sicked", not "sicced" (though "sic" is given as an alternative for "sick"): "He had cleared away some underbrush, for instance who had sicked the cops on Laidlaw"; " Why should you barge in here, gnashing your bally teeth, just because Horace sicked Claude Polt, private investigator, on to you?" (P.G. Wodehouse!); "Seems some of the boys..sicked the dogs on him"; "He sick-ed him on all the time". Google Books suggests (OR alert!) that "sicced" is the more vernacular form.

Prizes will be handed out in the coming weeks. Please be patient!
Congratulations to everyone who has been successful in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and a particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition. While it has been an excellent year, errors have opened up the judges' eyes to the need for a third judge, and it is with pleasure that we announce that experienced WikiCup participant Miyagawa will be acting as a judge from now on. We hope you will all join us in welcoming him to the team.
Next year's competition begins on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; it is open to all Wikipedians, new and old. Brainstorming and discussion remains open for how next year's competition will work, and straw polls will be opened by the judges soon. Those interested in friendly competition may also like to keep an eye on the stub contest, being organised by Casliber. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2014 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hello. I noticed you've reverted the changes I made to the aforementioned article, and would like to say the following:
The subject of the sentence in question, pasted below for your convenience, is "bugging [electronic systems] and [allegedly] engaging..."
"The agency is authorized to accomplish its mission through clandestine means, among which is bugging electronic systems and allegedly engaging in sabotage through subversive software."
The word "and" requires that both verbs — "bugging" and "engaging" — be considered the subject of the sentence.
When it comes to recognizing the subject of a sentence, I've always found that rearranging words, as well as disregarding prepositional phrases and other supplementary information, is a useful strategy.
For example, the sentence can be reorganized such that it reads, "Bugging electronic systems and allegedly engaging in sabotage through subversive software are among the clandestine means through which the agency is authorized to accomplish its mission."
Again, doing so allows for much easier identification of the subject within a sentence; however, the sentence can be simplified even further, as is demonstrated below.
"Bugging and engaging are among the clandestine means through which the agency is authorized to accomplish its mission."
Hopefully, this lengthy explanation of my edit has proven comprehensible.
I'll await a response before I revert to my edit.
Thanks,

Pratham has not logged in again. Maybe they are just discouraged, and will come back later, but methinks not. If they never login to their account again, but merely browse as an anon, chances are good they'll never see the messages we left on the talkpage. There are a couple options we have in a case like this. Zeroth, we can wait it out ... like we have been doing ... but how long before they forget their password, or their initial frustration hardens into bitterness-and-evergrudge?
Anyways, I hate to disfigure mainspace with what boils down to a classified advert, but it seems a shame to lose an editor that had moxy and wikithusiasm, signed up to be an admin, and a teahouse host, contested deletion, and fought for page protection. All mistakes, of course, but beginners cannot help it nowadays. Do you have any alternative suggestions, or thoughts on zero/one/notTwo/three?

Well, Pratham has returned, so that's good... more than once... but the flip side is that he now seems resigned to avoiding talkpages entirely. He knows *how* to use them, but sees engaging in dialogue as pointless, presumably. Is there some way that we can force him to the talkpage, short of actually blocking him? The copyvio-templates are harsh enough, but the block-template is positively eeeevvviiillll. Not sure we have another option though; maybe we can replace the stock you-have-been-blocked template, with something like the pratham-please-respond-to-the-question-about-how-many-students-are-in-the-school template? Or maybe, you have some trick up your sleeve, that we can pull? 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 05:54, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Yngvadottir, I don't know why but for some (probably insane) reason, I've come up with the notion you are interested in bridges
- I'm not but for some (even more bizarre) reason just created an article on
Wellington Suspension Bridge. As I have no idea what most of what I've written in the construction section means, would you be able/willing to check if does actually make any sense? Please? note to myself: never try to write articles on subjects you know nothing about! Wanders quietly away, still very perplexed as to why I think Yngvadottir might be interested in bridges ...

Thank you for the kind mention. You are correct in your statement that I did wish to help. It wasn't in the cards though. I also agree that Visual Editor was a complete disaster and Flow will likely be much more of the same. The implementation of Lua was a good thing I think from a Wikipedia perspective but it has a huge amount of send and third level consequences with other sites because they do not use Lua. The recent creation of the technical editor role was a good move in the right direction too but with that said, and as much as I beleive unbundling is a good thing, it is only necessary because there is no trust in the community. If we trusted our editors, particularly the ones who have stuck around and have technical proficiancy, we would be much better off. As it is we have developed a culture of us and them between the admins and the editors where the admins actions are above reproach and have no consequences and the editors can be banned from the site for an infraction that admins don't even get a nasty message for.

Regarding my question about this proposed page: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Marvin_Megee
Hello! Thank you so much for the information that you gave me, and for the help. I appreciate it.
Of the 14 references, 5 are from TV station reports that aired on TV and then the investigative stories were published online. I cited those stories.
All are from stations that I used in the references are national (US) affiliates: KSHB is a national NBC affiliate
KCTV5 is a national CBS affiliate
KMBC and KTRE are a national ABC affiliate
(NBC, CBS, and ABC are considered the “big three” television networks, and all of the affiliates I referenced also have Wikipedia pages, so I could go back and connect to those pages if needed.)
One of those television references is in another state (Texas, KTRE), and the others are all out of another city, Kansas City which is the metropolitan area of 2 million people spanning the MO-KS border.
Of the other references which are from newspapers, 2 are from papers in other cities (reference #s 4, 7), and two are references to state-level information (reference #s 3, 5). Of the 14 references, only 3 are from a newspaper local to where the Mayor is located.
As a note, the Mayor Marvin Megee is also listed on the page of the City of Greenwood: /info/en/?search=Greenwood,_Missouri
With that background about the references, can the page be accepted? Thank you for your help. I really do appreciate it.

Tell me what is the meaning of this |upright=0.9| thing that everybody so generously messing around with everywhere on the pictures? Don't get it. What is this? If you put them on the pictures, they became uneven, and take all different sizes, while using only thumb or a special pix, then they are same size, are alike. Just look how the pictures look like in the Art nouveau article, for exampl the first 3. Looks terribly uneven and silly to me. Some editor said= Same images sizes using "upright", which allows user preferences too. And made editwar of it. What does mean "allows user preferences "?

Could you please comment on this article [18] and compare it with the Olde English Bulldogge. It looks like the same thing for me. What are the rules in these cases?

You know, we don't have an article on this woman. [20] I might start some stubb, but it would be silly.

Since you've expressed interest in WP:FLOW and such in the past... you might be interested in participating in this not-a-club activity... User_talk:Ahnoneemoos#redux, search for "Since the WMF is" just below the big green box. In a nutshell, the person with the *most* control over WP:FLOW in summer 2014 and also the future of VizEd, is going to be whomever is chosen as the new ExecDir.
Therefore, I suggest that we seek out some nominations from DahCommuhnity™ using the scheme described there, in order to give ourselves the best chance of keeping the WMF from imposing madness in the form of a technological terror. :-) Whether the WMF-approved committee (see list inside the green box at link above) takes any cognizance of such vox-populi-generated nominees, is another matter entirely. But methinks it is worth doing, even if — perhaps especially if — the result of the effort is ignored. Sound like more fun than a barrel of monkeys?

How I hate people doing this. There are those butchers who run over lots and lots of peoples work, that they added and start shouting, no refs, and bucher away everything. As long as nobody starts asking for refs (as far as I know) so there is no need to ask, if it is not a controvery. This is one of the nice thing about Wikipedia that one can read about how other people do with they Christmas, breakfast and so on. Here went half of the breakfast article, for somebody found it unsupportablen not to have refs.-> Unsourced_content_removed_from_article in most uncontroversial stuff. Things that are difficult to find in other places. And here we go, deleting lots of peoples work just because someone starts questioning stuff like this. Is this really so disputed? Why not find some refs before start deleting everything? This is just cruelty. Most probably finding refs for stuff like this is not hard at all. Is this really building a Wikipedia, deleting half of the the Chrismas worldwide? This guy is editing since 27 November 2013 and already deleted half of the article, "good job".. How really nice and cute... Hafspajen ( talk) 02:36, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
I suspect you misunderstood my condemnation. Cluebot has been systematically deleting quite legitimate articles and I no longer care to contribute to Wikipedia because of this.
Separately, I have complaints about how the scientific misconduct article is composed. I could say a great deal about hand picking what one chooses to call suitable 3rd party references. I am convinced that stating the existence of signed documents that demonstrate how ethics committees and chancellors disagree is crucial to public perception. It calls into question how reliable some 3rd party information is or can be. — User_talk:79.102.63.209 at 21:09, 5 January 2014

Dear Yngvadottir,
You were more than helpful with the article Erika Sunnegårdh a few weeks ago, so I thought I might test my luck asking for a piece of advice on another article that has now bounced twice: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Adolf_Fredrik%27s_music_school
The reviewers don't like the article but I can't quite understand why. The way I see it this article has more and better references than 95% of the school articles I find on Wikipedia and I try to keep an objective tone. I have nothing whatsoever in common with Adolf Fredrik's music school other than our nationality. So, what is it I don't understand about writing articles? Andersneld ( talk) 19:23, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi again Yngvadottir and 74, I'm back from my vacation and ready to edit :-) As an aside here is a quick summary of the classical music scene in Berlin:

Aggregate (uncorrected) risk of death can estimated to be 10−7 per visit in Finland. In essentially all cases, the victim had diabetes, a heart condition or other serious chronic disease. More than 50% were men over the age of 50, and 30% were over 70; furthermore, most often the victims were intoxicated. [1]

Do you have any suggestions about how to deal with the continued attacks from Beyond My Ken. His latest action was quite offensive. I went to his talkpage to ask for help with understanding his mysterious attitude towards me, and he deleted my contribution without any response and with the summary: "I don't allow trolling socks to post here". Isn't that a gratuitous contravention of both the "assume good faith" and "no personal attacks" principles? And that on top of his other attacks elsewhere. Jaggee ( talk) 21:55, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

I think that N94228 misunderstands one of the criteria for speedy deletion. (It isn't clear whether he or she understands anything about Wikipedia.) Articles written by banned or blocked users can be deleted. N94228 apparently is concerned that he or she is about to be blocked, which may happen if he or she continues making idle accusations. However, the deletion rule does not apply to users who are blocked or banned after writing the articles. It only applies to users who are already blocked or banned, and so never should have written the articles, but were evading the block, typically by sock-puppetry. Now that reliable sources have been added, the article should not be deleted either for lack of notability or for sockpuppetry. Thank you for adding references.

You know, the OED supports "sicked", not "sicced" (though "sic" is given as an alternative for "sick"): "He had cleared away some underbrush, for instance who had sicked the cops on Laidlaw"; " Why should you barge in here, gnashing your bally teeth, just because Horace sicked Claude Polt, private investigator, on to you?" (P.G. Wodehouse!); "Seems some of the boys..sicked the dogs on him"; "He sick-ed him on all the time". Google Books suggests (OR alert!) that "sicced" is the more vernacular form.

Hello. I noticed you've reverted the changes I made to the aforementioned article, and would like to say the following:
The subject of the sentence in question, pasted below for your convenience, is "bugging [electronic systems] and [allegedly] engaging..."
"The agency is authorized to accomplish its mission through clandestine means, among which is bugging electronic systems and allegedly engaging in sabotage through subversive software."
The word "and" requires that both verbs — "bugging" and "engaging" — be considered the subject of the sentence.
When it comes to recognizing the subject of a sentence, I've always found that rearranging words, as well as disregarding prepositional phrases and other supplementary information, is a useful strategy.
For example, the sentence can be reorganized such that it reads, "Bugging electronic systems and allegedly engaging in sabotage through subversive software are among the clandestine means through which the agency is authorized to accomplish its mission."
Again, doing so allows for much easier identification of the subject within a sentence; however, the sentence can be simplified even further, as is demonstrated below.
"Bugging and engaging are among the clandestine means through which the agency is authorized to accomplish its mission."
Hopefully, this lengthy explanation of my edit has proven comprehensible.
I'll await a response before I revert to my edit.

Actually, since you asked, you might be able to help me convince him to sit down and chat. Maybe leave another message on his talkpage, saying thanks for helping improve wikipedia, listen the the wise words of 74-whatever, their method may seem unorthodox but that is just pillar five of the foundations of wikipedia, lend them your ears..... :-) Thanks, see you around. 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 21:39, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Pratham has not logged in again. Maybe they are just discouraged, and will come back later, but methinks not. If they never login to their account again, but merely browse as an anon, chances are good they'll never see the messages we left on the talkpage. There are a couple options we have in a case like this. Zeroth, we can wait it out ... like we have been doing ... but how long before they forget their password, or their initial frustration hardens into bitterness-and-evergrudge?
Anyways, I hate to disfigure mainspace with what boils down to a classified advert, but it seems a shame to lose an editor that had moxy and wikithusiasm, signed up to be an admin, and a teahouse host, contested deletion, and fought for page protection. All mistakes, of course, but beginners cannot help it nowadays. Do you have any alternative suggestions, or thoughts on zero/one/notTwo/three?

Well, Pratham has returned, so that's good... more than once... but the flip side is that he now seems resigned to avoiding talkpages entirely. He knows *how* to use them, but sees engaging in dialogue as pointless, presumably. Is there some way that we can force him to the talkpage, short of actually blocking him? The copyvio-templates are harsh enough, but the block-template is positively eeeevvviiillll. Not sure we have another option though; maybe we can replace the stock you-have-been-blocked template, with something like the pratham-please-respond-to-the-question-about-how-many-students-are-in-the-school template? Or maybe, you have some trick up your sleeve, that we can pull? 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 05:54, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Yngvadottir, I don't know why but for some (probably insane) reason, I've come up with the notion you are interested in bridges
- I'm not but for some (even more bizarre) reason just created an article on

Thank you for the kind mention. You are correct in your statement that I did wish to help. It wasn't in the cards though. I also agree that Visual Editor was a complete disaster and Flow will likely be much more of the same. The implementation of Lua was a good thing I think from a Wikipedia perspective but it has a huge amount of send and third level consequences with other sites because they do not use Lua. The recent creation of the technical editor role was a good move in the right direction too but with that said, and as much as I beleive unbundling is a good thing, it is only necessary because there is no trust in the community. If we trusted our editors, particularly the ones who have stuck around and have technical proficiancy, we would be much better off. As it is we have developed a culture of us and them between the admins and the editors where the admins actions are above reproach and have no consequences and the editors can be banned from the site for an infraction that admins don't even get a nasty message for.

Regarding my question about this proposed page: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Marvin_Megee
Hello! Thank you so much for the information that you gave me, and for the help. I appreciate it.
Of the 14 references, 5 are from TV station reports that aired on TV and then the investigative stories were published online. I cited those stories.
All are from stations that I used in the references are national (US) affiliates: KSHB is a national NBC affiliate
KCTV5 is a national CBS affiliate
KMBC and KTRE are a national ABC affiliate
(NBC, CBS, and ABC are considered the “big three” television networks, and all of the affiliates I referenced also have Wikipedia pages, so I could go back and connect to those pages if needed.)
One of those television references is in another state (Texas, KTRE), and the others are all out of another city, Kansas City which is the metropolitan area of 2 million people spanning the MO-KS border.
Of the other references which are from newspapers, 2 are from papers in other cities (reference #s 4, 7), and two are references to state-level information (reference #s 3, 5). Of the 14 references, only 3 are from a newspaper local to where the Mayor is located.
As a note, the Mayor Marvin Megee is also listed on the page of the City of Greenwood: /info/en/?search=Greenwood,_Missouri
With that background about the references, can the page be accepted? Thank you for your help. I really do appreciate it.

Tell me what is the meaning of this |upright=0.9| thing that everybody so generously messing around with everywhere on the pictures? Don't get it. What is this? If you put them on the pictures, they became uneven, and take all different sizes, while using only thumb or a special pix, then they are same size, are alike. Just look how the pictures look like in the Art nouveau article, for exampl the first 3. Looks terribly uneven and silly to me. Some editor said= Same images sizes using "upright", which allows user preferences too. And made editwar of it. What does mean "allows user preferences "?

How I hate people doing this. There are those butchers who run over lots and lots of peoples work, that they added and start shouting, no refs, and bucher away everything. As long as nobody starts asking for refs (as far as I know) so there is no need to ask, if it is not a controvery. This is one of the nice thing about Wikipedia that one can read about how other people do with they Christmas, breakfast and so on. Here went half of the breakfast article, for somebody found it unsupportablen not to have refs.-> Unsourced_content_removed_from_article in most uncontroversial stuff. Things that are difficult to find in other places. And here we go, deleting lots of peoples work just because someone starts questioning stuff like this. Is this really so disputed? Why not find some refs before start deleting everything? This is just cruelty. Most probably finding refs for stuff like this is not hard at all. Is this really building a Wikipedia, deleting half of the the Chrismas worldwide? This guy is editing since 27 November 2013 and already deleted half of the article, "good job"..

Hi,
I suspect you misunderstood my condemnation. Cluebot has been systematically deleting quite legitimate articles and I no longer care to contribute to Wikipedia because of this.
Separately, I have complaints about how the scientific misconduct article is composed. I could say a great deal about hand picking what one chooses to call suitable 3rd party references. I am convinced that stating the existence of signed documents that demonstrate how ethics committees and chancellors disagree is crucial to public perception. It calls into question how reliable some 3rd party information is or can be. — User_talk:79.102.63.209 at 21:09, 5 January 2014
I am a new author and you are the first "seasoned" contributor, which I have had the joy of stumbling over. I feel as someone who might have said, "I knew, but now I see. This life, in vitro, tis' in front of me".

To whom it may concern: Yngvadottir has the flu she says it's only a bad cold, and she keeps fretting about stuff on Wikipedia. I'm trying to make her go to bed and stay there. Please don't encourage her bad habits.

Pratham currently has the library-pic, and the yoga-pic. Are there any restrictions about uploading pictures of recognizable-individual-humans, without their explicit permission? We might have to wait a bit before we break this new heartbreaking news to him. :-) Glad he came back to talk, without needing to be blocked. There is yet hope. 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 19:26, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
Please see, User_talk:Prathamprakash29#Possibly_unfree_File:Library_of_NRSJPS.jpg as of the 27th. Pratham last edited on the 5th, and is unlikely to notice this problem, until the imagefiles are deleted from mainspace per usual. When it is noticed...
p.s. Any idea what human-language this might be? [26] 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 15:56, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Dear Yngvadottir,
You were more than helpful with the article Erika Sunnegårdh a few weeks ago, so I thought I might test my luck asking for a piece of advice on another article that has now bounced twice: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Adolf_Fredrik%27s_music_school
The reviewers don't like the article but I can't quite understand why. The way I see it this article has more and better references than 95% of the school articles I find on Wikipedia and I try to keep an objective tone. I have nothing whatsoever in common with Adolf Fredrik's music school other than our nationality. So, what is it I don't understand about writing articles? Andersneld ( talk) 19:23, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi again Yngvadottir and 74, I'm back from my vacation and ready to edit :-) As an aside here is a quick summary of the classical music scene in Berlin:
First question, do we discuss the Adolf Fredrik's music school article here or on 74's talk page, or perhaps elsewhere? I have read your comments and tried to fix the article:
Cheers! Andersneld ( talk) 12:07, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
Youpeee, the article is accepted at last :-) Thanks for all your help!! Andersneld ( talk) 20:55, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
See Wikipedia:AN3#User:RupalDel_reported_by_User:Drmies_.28Result:_.29: the plot thickens. I think there's obvious socking going on. Drmies ( talk) 19:53, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you
vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Entamoeba gingivalis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Polynuclear ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Aggregate (uncorrected) risk of death can estimated to be 10−7 per visit in Finland. In essentially all cases, the victim had diabetes, a heart condition or other serious chronic disease. More than 50% were men over the age of 50, and 30% were over 70; furthermore, most often the victims were intoxicated. [1]
I suppose all this would need to be cleaned out from that damn article. It is just hopeless, this Sauna- all of it. Hafspajen ( talk) 19:36, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Prathamprakash29 I have added newspaper cutting on the school's talk page. Please see it.--Pratham 17:30, 15 January 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prathamprakash29 ( talk • contribs)
That I butchered your user-talkpage comment to Pratham. You may of course revert, if you want no wikiFauna interfering, but I'd like to separate sony camera assertions, from picture-of-picture-derivative-works explanations, from satellite maps workarounds, from audiofiles-of-all-languages. Also, hid away the template-spams from the other folks, they are effectively worse than useless at this point methinks, but added image#12/#13/#14 to the List Of Questionable MediaFiles. HTH, glad you are feeling more spritely, or sprightly, or separately, or something. ;-) — 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 21:32, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
I don't understand this discussion, Since when Wikipedia sees pictures a a distraction in an article? I fail to understand the whole thing. Hafspajen ( talk) 22:38, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Yngvadottir, I've been looking at the Thor Heyerdahl Upper Secondary School nomination and I need your help. Silly question but do any of the refs tell us about it being named after Thor Heyerdahl as given in the lead - I can see the one used for the library, is that going to cover it?

Do you have any suggestions about how to deal with the continued attacks from Beyond My Ken. His latest action was quite offensive. I went to his talkpage to ask for help with understanding his mysterious attitude towards me, and he deleted my contribution without any response and with the summary: "I don't allow trolling socks to post here". Isn't that a gratuitous contravention of both the "assume good faith" and "no personal attacks" principles? And that on top of his other attacks elsewhere. Jaggee ( talk) 21:55, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
I gather then that people who the administrators are afraid of can do as they please, as rudely as they please, despite what the policies may say. OTOH, no doubt, if anyone else behaved half as badly they would be harshly dealt with. Jaggee ( talk) 20:44, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
