For example this is some of the websites I'm looking to put in as a references: http://www.krugozormagazine.com/archive/2008.9.html :: http://www.playbill.com/news/article/56891-Chekhov-Now-Now-Festival-of-Russian-Writers-Works-Ends-Nov-19 http://feb-web.ru/feb/lermenc/lre-::abc/ Iaroslavny ( talk) 15:07, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui, I very bravely moved a draft article from user space by trying to follow the instructions
here. It seems to have
eventually worked okay. However, when I did the move, it had an automatic template for it to be reviewed, which I can understand but I've seen loads of articles/stubs at DYK that seem to have been moved/created without acquiring templates. I'm hoping that I will have time to finish working on
this much more extensive draft soon and, once ready, I want to do a DYK for it, probably about the Admiral keeping alligators in a bath (I suspect I just might have enough reviews to do a self nom
). Is there a way to move it without having the sleepless night worrying about whether it will be reviewed (and the template removed) in time for a DYK? Apologies - this question has ended up not being very quick after all and I know you are busy! PS: I'm just about to pinch your earwig user box! While you are playing about with them, you don't feel like doing one for peer reviewer/duplication detector (and being really cheeky, I use a 'template' style of thing for DYK reviews
hidden here that I'm sure there must be an easier why of getting at rather than copy and paste all the time!)

Hi Yunshui,
Being the insane person you know I am, I've decided that I'd like to take another leap into the framework of Wikipedia. As the headline suggests, I may or may not apply for my first RfA tommorow, depending on what you say. Here's some text to justify my reasons for my sudden RfA advice request (I've broken it down into 3 categories):
1. Vandalism removal: I have done a bit of work in vandal-fighting, and it's always nice to see some justice being brought to the vandal. I enjoy monitoring AIV interactions with admins to see how long it takes for the report to start being helpful (and the answer is not very long). Admins make very clear points on why the vandal was blocked. I am starting to see that what I have previously stated to the vandal has been repeated by the admin - a sign that I've matured my understanding of blocking policies.
2. Policy understanding: I have spent numerous hours exploring Wikipedia's more hidden policies, as well as, of course, the more major policies. I've familiarized myself with the IAR policy, and know when to apply it. I can recite the Five Pillars. I know when vandalism is vandalism and not a good-faith edit. I can do a lot more regarding policies, but I think I'll stop there.
3. What I'd like to do: I would like to do more than block and unblock users on Wikipedia; I would take pride in reviewing unblock requests, deleting pages, protecting pages, and granting rights to users. Those would be the main destination for my admin tools. By all means, I wouldn't forget to assume good faith and take great caution when using the tools.
Please review these points; and give me an ultimate response as to whether I should make the request (or take another look at WP:NOTNOW). Thanks, and cheers, Yunshui! Kevin 12xd ( contribs) 23:25, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello Yunshui,
This is Sammy Traverso, from marquette university and the electroneuromyography article. I am not 100% sure what is going on but from what I have heard, Noah copied something from my sandbox and put it in something else on wikipedia. Is this right? At the beginning, I gave all three other partners my username and password to my account and said that they could all work on it form there. I was not aware that this would cause a problem and I am very sorry about this. If there is anything that I need to do PLEASE, let me know. Even though I do not fully understand what happened, I am sorry that you have to clean up our mess. Anyways, I am very sorry again and if there is anything that I need to do, let me know. When you are ready, we are almost ready to go live. all we have to do if fix the graph, and a few loose ends here and there but these should be ready by tomorrow. Just let us know what we need to do

Hey Yunshui! My group ( Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome) went live with our article this evening. Afterwards Dr. Mynlieff sent out an email about issues with copying and pasting. We copied and pasted most of ours on. I don't quite understand what the issues are. To me, our article appears to be fine but then again I don't understand the finer points of Wikipedia like you do. Could you look at it and help us if there is anything amiss? LDNeurobio — Preceding unsigned comment added by LDNeurobio ( talk • contribs) 02:31, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Hey Yunshui! I am working on the Grinker myelinopathy article for this neurobiology course. Before moving our draft over from my user subpage to the official Grinker Myelinopathy page, there was a short paragraph written on this page. This information is not completely accurate and I was hoping to remove or replace it. Am I able to simply do so or must I request permission from the original author? Also, thanks for all the help in cleaning up my citations! Alphabetfood ( talk) 22:30, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui. I do histmerges all the time, typically in the context of SPI (which I see you've recently joined as a clerk trainee, by the way, thanks for the help). The easiest way to do this would be to merge all the sandboxes into one page before moving it to the article. Basically, delete a sandbox, move another sandbox over it, then delete the new one. Move, delete, repeat. Once you have all the sandboxes at one title, restore the revisions you want to keep (perhaps you'll only want to keep the final of sequential revisions from the same user, to keep down on the history clutter, or you want to restore all revisions - up to you). Now restored, you have a chunk of the article history that you want to move to a new page. Delete that page, move the metasandbox over it, and delete it again. Then once again, restore everything you want to keep. Perhaps you want to leave out the edits to the page that caused the whole problem in the first place, and keep only the original article, the sandbox edits, and some final version. Now that I look back on my explanation, it is complicated! Well, until the WMF deploys a revision-move extension to Wikipedia, this is what we're stuck with.

{{

if I can - at some point, the course instructor will need to mark her student's work, and it's going to make her job substantially easier if all of the edits are on the same page. Looking at it, it doesn't seem that there's any alternative for parallel versions - surely someone must have come up with a fix for this by now?

Funnily enough I get affected by that particular syndrome all the time - maybe it's so virulent it manages to infect people even via computers? Boy, that's scary! I'm doing a bit of butting in here but it looks like you have students with medical expertise? I don't know if you have seen it but there is a DYK nomination which has been sitting for a while that needs a reviewer with some medical knowledge - do you know if any of them may be able to help as it's beyond my dribbly brain? I'm also going to be a tad ungrateful and say my peer reviewer userbox is supposed to point to the nifty little gadget [1] here!!! I know - how awful to whinge about help given so readily!

Hi Yunshui. I am in the processes of trying to move our draft page User:Isetm13/distal spinal atrophy type I Draft and I am running into some issues. First, I think I already moved it to a new article page, Distal Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type I. Then I realized this was not the stub-page already created for this disorder so I tried to move the article to the already existent sub-page which is Distal spinal muscular atrophy type 1, however I misspelled "muscular" and another new page was created, on accident. I was wondering how to move our draft to the already existent sub-page, Distal spinal muscular atrophy type 1? I read the link you posted but I am still having trouble. Any suggestions?

Hello, Yunshui, I am in the process of trying to move our group's wikipedia page. I followed the directions that you sent our class from this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Move
At first, i tried to replace the page and it said that I wasnt able to because the page already exists here ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_hemiplegia
so when renaming the page, I capitalized the "H" in hemiplegia and here is our new page..., but Im assuming that I did that wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_Hemiplegia

You say that the nickname is sourced. Did you actually read the source? Henrik Sedin plays in Vancouver Canucks. In an interview on a Chicago radio talk show with the Chicago Blackhawks forward Dave Bolland (opposing teams!), they called the Sedins "sisters", obviously to belittle them. The Vancouver Sun merely notes that this happened. I fail to see how that is acceptable or even a good source for something like this in a BLP.

Hi, Yunshui. I saw your decline of protection for the Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin articles, but I'm afraid I disagree. The nickname is obviously intended to be contemptuous, and the source is a quote from a Chicago radio talk show, as spoken by a Chicago Blackhawks player (who roundly declares he hates all Vancouver Canucks players) plus the host. Seems to be rather a one-time nickname from an opposing team! It's absurd to turn inter-team (more or less jocular?) hostility into "are commonly referred to as the Sedin sisters, by the media, fans, and other hockey players". Completely inappropriate in a BLP in my opinion. Unless you object strongly, I intend to protect the articles. Bishonen | talk 13:36, 25 March 2013 (UTC).
Hi!
I'm aware that you have deleted an article I've posted earlier this week. With that said, is it permissible for me to ask for that article back? Although it was my first time writing something for the service, I admit that I haven't been able to completely read the guidelines. At the very least, I'm asking you to restore the deleted piece so as I can enact any changes needed to it immediately. Thank you very much.

Hello Yunshui --
I see that you have deleted the "Let's Hear it for America" page. I would like to converse with you about your decision to do this, but it will likely take some time for me to compose my thoughts. A few things that I would ask you to consider:
1) This really happened. Granted, it was almost thirty five years ago, but every word that was in that article was written, in Vail, Colorado, between 1978 and 1979.
2) The history of establishing a Secretary of Peace in the U.S. Cabinet is replete with failures. That does not mean that this is not an idea that is worthy of note. People have been discussing this since 1793, and this is the 220th anniversary of the effort.
3) The basis upon which the idea of Let's Hear it for America was founded remains sound.
Perhaps I could ask a favor of you ... please describe to me under what circumstances you would agree that this merits being a part of Wikipedia? Should I put you in contact with people who were aware of its founding in the 1970s?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi Yunshui --
I appreciate your taking the time to explain your position and to clarify the rules and regs that govern submissions to WikiPedia. You are correct. Let's Hear it for America did not have a lasting impact, although it did gather support. Unfortunately, in those days, there was no web. As to whether or not it was "made up" -- definitely not -- in making this observation, you are close to impugning my integrity, and I think that is at best presumptuous, and perhaps even impolite. You might have better asked, "Was this for real?" But that is 'small beer.'
Why isn't it documented on the web? Because, in 1978, we were still working on IBM Correcting Selectric typewriters, and LHIFA / PAL faded away before even Apple computers came on the scene. You may disagree, but in my opinion, not everything of consequence is on the World Wide Web!
Forgive me while I vent for a moment, and ask ... "What makes you an arbiter of what is or is not important in the long and storied history of the peace movement? Are you an expert in this area? How much time have you spent evaluating what has and has not worked?"
If you took the time to read the content, and consider it intellectually, particularly in the context of not only the peace movement in general, but specifically relating to, among others facts pertinent to the movement itself, Dwight D. Eisenhower's speech regarding the Military Industrial Complex (1961), you would realize that there was significant thought and perhaps even merit behind the plan. Some good ideas take decades or even centuries to come to fruition!
Please accept my apologies for venting! ;-)
By way of a Thank You -- you have provided me with a much better understanding of the role you play, and I will accede to your point. You are a WikiPedia's Traffic Cop -- a sort of virtual bureaucrat who observes a set criteria for what is and is not "important." You have a well-defined set of rules by which WikiPedia is governed, and based on your description of them, I can understand your decision. I didn't know, and have learned something.
All that said, I am confident that there has never been a better time for a peaceful revolution to occur; it may very well be that the seeds of it were first conceived and documented in LHIFA / PAL. From your point of view, I readily accept the fact that you can and perhaps should respond by saying ... "Well, that remains to be seen, and at such time as it does, then it will merit inclusion." So be it.
Thanks for enlarging my understanding -- and thanks. You are making a contribution to your world, and I recognize the importance of what you do.
Happy trails!

Hi. I'm writing because the article Red Roots has been deleted. This band is apart of the sublabel Red Hen Nashville (redhennashville.com) of themajor record label Daywind Records( http://www.daywindrecords.com/). The group is also on the major game show "The American Bible Challenge" on the GSN network ( http://breathecast.christianpost.com/articles/6660/20130318/red-roots-the-american-bible-challenge-on-gsn.htm). Every radio single released by the group has charted with "Grow" being the highest at #20 on the most notable Southern Gospel Chart "The Singing News." They have over 100,000 on their self-titled music video "Red Roots." I'm wanting to submit a revised article with their latest accomplishments and background information.

Hi Yunshui, I have recently discovered how to put 'notes' in articles and have inserted a couple into this article after a discussion with Fnorp on their talk page as I thought putting a couple of notes in might be the easiest way to explain Fnorp's edits. However, I'm beginning to have doubts whether this was a reasonable solution as I see further up the talk page others have discussed similar edits made by Fnorp and this doesn't appear to have been offered as a way round it. So, have I done this incorrectly? Is this not the way 'notes' should be used? It just seemed a reasonable compromise to me? I don't want to even tentatively suggest Fnorp includes a similar note on any other articles s/he may change if it is wrong; it does looks as if s/he is quite passionate about changing Holland/Netherlands in articles.

We copied and pasted most of ours on. I don't quite understand what the issues are. To me, our article appears to be fine but then again I don't understand the finer points of Wikipedia like you do. Could you look at it and help us if there is anything amiss? LDNeurobio — Preceding unsigned comment added by LDNeurobio ( talk • contribs) 02:31, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Hey Yunshui! I am working on the Grinker myelinopathy article for this neurobiology course. Before moving our draft over from my user subpage to the official Grinker Myelinopathy page, there was a short paragraph written on this page. This information is not completely accurate and I was hoping to remove or replace it. Am I able to simply do so or must I request permission from the original author? Also, thanks for all the help in cleaning up my citations! Alphabetfood ( talk) 22:30, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui. I do histmerges all the time, typically in the context of SPI (which I see you've recently joined as a clerk trainee, by the way, thanks for the help). The easiest way to do this would be to merge all the sandboxes into one page before moving it to the article. Basically, delete a sandbox, move another sandbox over it, then delete the new one. Move, delete, repeat. Once you have all the sandboxes at one title, restore the revisions you want to keep (perhaps you'll only want to keep the final of sequential revisions from the same user, to keep down on the history clutter, or you want to restore all revisions - up to you). Now restored, you have a chunk of the article history that you want to move to a new page. Delete that page, move the metasandbox over it, and delete it again. Then once again, restore everything you want to keep. Perhaps you want to leave out the edits to the page that caused the whole problem in the first place, and keep only the original article, the sandbox edits, and some final version. Now that I look back on my explanation, it is complicated! Well, until the WMF deploys a revision-move extension to Wikipedia, this is what we're stuck with.

if I can - at some point, the course instructor will need to mark her student's work, and it's going to make her job substantially easier if all of the edits are on the same page. Looking at it, it doesn't seem that there's any alternative for parallel versions - surely someone must have come up with a fix for this by now?

Funnily enough I get affected by that particular syndrome all the time - maybe it's so virulent it manages to infect people even via computers? Boy, that's scary! I'm doing a bit of butting in here but it looks like you have students with medical expertise? I don't know if you have seen it but there is a DYK nomination which has been sitting for a while that needs a reviewer with some medical knowledge - do you know if any of them may be able to help as it's beyond my dribbly brain? I'm also going to be a tad ungrateful and say my peer reviewer userbox is supposed to point to the nifty little gadget [1] here!!! I know - how awful to whinge about help given so readily!

Hello again Yunshui,
I logged out of my account and noticed that the page was live. So from now on, when we need to make changes to our work, we do so right on the live article? is this correct? I want to make sure so that we don't mess anything up again.

Hi Yunshui. I am in the processes of trying to move our draft page User:Isetm13/distal spinal atrophy type I Draft and I am running into some issues. First, I think I already moved it to a new article page, Distal Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type I. Then I realized this was not the stub-page already created for this disorder so I tried to move the article to the already existent sub-page which is Distal spinal muscular atrophy type 1, however I misspelled "muscular" and another new page was created, on accident. I was wondering how to move our draft to the already existent sub-page, Distal spinal muscular atrophy type 1? I read the link you posted but I am still having trouble. Any suggestions? Please and thank you! Isetem13 ( talk) 20:18, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Yunshui, I am in the process of trying to move our group's wikipedia page. I followed the directions that you sent our class from this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Move
At first, i tried to replace the page and it said that I wasnt able to because the page already exists here ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_hemiplegia
so when renaming the page, I capitalized the "H" in hemiplegia and here is our new page..., but Im assuming that I did that wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_Hemiplegia
Any suggestions? Please and thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MACKXIMUS ( talk • contribs) 01:37, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
You say that the nickname is sourced. Did you actually read the source? Henrik Sedin plays in Vancouver Canucks. In an interview on a Chicago radio talk show with the Chicago Blackhawks forward Dave Bolland (opposing teams!), they called the Sedins "sisters", obviously to belittle them. The Vancouver Sun merely notes that this happened. I fail to see how that is acceptable or even a good source for something like this in a BLP.

Hi Yunshui,
I've just made my first block
here, and I'm very much still taking baby steps as an admin. I notice there are neat little messages at
User talk:Platinum Graphic, which I guess are generated by a script or something like that. I'm kind of stoopid when it comes to .js and .css thingumabobs. Could you possibly point me to the relevant scripts?

Hi, Yunshui. I saw your decline of protection for the Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin articles, but I'm afraid I disagree. The nickname is obviously intended to be contemptuous, and the source is a quote from a Chicago radio talk show, as spoken by a Chicago Blackhawks player (who roundly declares he hates all Vancouver Canucks players) plus the host. Seems to be rather a one-time nickname from an opposing team! It's absurd to turn inter-team (more or less jocular?) hostility into "are commonly referred to as the Sedin sisters, by the media, fans, and other hockey players". Completely inappropriate in a BLP in my opinion. Unless you object strongly, I intend to protect the articles. Bishonen | talk 13:36, 25 March 2013 (UTC).
Hi!
I'm aware that you have deleted an article I've posted earlier this week. With that said, is it permissible for me to ask for that article back? Although it was my first time writing something for the service, I admit that I haven't been able to completely read the guidelines. At the very least, I'm asking you to restore the deleted piece so as I can enact any changes needed to it immediately. Thank you very much.

Hello Yunshui --
I see that you have deleted the "Let's Hear it for America" page. I would like to converse with you about your decision to do this, but it will likely take some time for me to compose my thoughts. A few things that I would ask you to consider:
1) This really happened. Granted, it was almost thirty five years ago, but every word that was in that article was written, in Vail, Colorado, between 1978 and 1979.
2) The history of establishing a Secretary of Peace in the U.S. Cabinet is replete with failures. That does not mean that this is not an idea that is worthy of note. People have been discussing this since 1793, and this is the 220th anniversary of the effort.
3) The basis upon which the idea of Let's Hear it for America was founded remains sound.
Perhaps I could ask a favor of you ... please describe to me under what circumstances you would agree that this merits being a part of Wikipedia? Should I put you in contact with people who were aware of its founding in the 1970s?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi Yunshui --
I appreciate your taking the time to explain your position and to clarify the rules and regs that govern submissions to WikiPedia. You are correct. Let's Hear it for America did not have a lasting impact, although it did gather support. Unfortunately, in those days, there was no web. As to whether or not it was "made up" -- definitely not -- in making this observation, you are close to impugning my integrity, and I think that is at best presumptuous, and perhaps even impolite. You might have better asked, "Was this for real?" But that is 'small beer.'
Why isn't it documented on the web? Because, in 1978, we were still working on IBM Correcting Selectric typewriters, and LHIFA / PAL faded away before even Apple computers came on the scene. You may disagree, but in my opinion, not everything of consequence is on the World Wide Web!
Forgive me while I vent for a moment, and ask ... "What makes you an arbiter of what is or is not important in the long and storied history of the peace movement? Are you an expert in this area? How much time have you spent evaluating what has and has not worked?"
If you took the time to read the content, and consider it intellectually, particularly in the context of not only the peace movement in general, but specifically relating to, among others facts pertinent to the movement itself, Dwight D. Eisenhower's speech regarding the Military Industrial Complex (1961), you would realize that there was significant thought and perhaps even merit behind the plan. Some good ideas take decades or even centuries to come to fruition!
Please accept my apologies for venting! ;-)
By way of a Thank You -- you have provided me with a much better understanding of the role you play, and I will accede to your point. You are a WikiPedia's Traffic Cop -- a sort of virtual bureaucrat who observes a set criteria for what is and is not "important." You have a well-defined set of rules by which WikiPedia is governed, and based on your description of them, I can understand your decision. I didn't know, and have learned something.
All that said, I am confident that there has never been a better time for a peaceful revolution to occur; it may very well be that the seeds of it were first conceived and documented in LHIFA / PAL. From your point of view, I readily accept the fact that you can and perhaps should respond by saying ... "Well, that remains to be seen, and at such time as it does, then it will merit inclusion." So be it.
Thanks for enlarging my understanding -- and thanks. You are making a contribution to your world, and I recognize the importance of what you do.
Happy trails!

Hi. I'm writing because the article Red Roots has been deleted. This band is apart of the sublabel Red Hen Nashville (redhennashville.com) of themajor record label Daywind Records( http://www.daywindrecords.com/). The group is also on the major game show "The American Bible Challenge" on the GSN network ( http://breathecast.christianpost.com/articles/6660/20130318/red-roots-the-american-bible-challenge-on-gsn.htm). Every radio single released by the group has charted with "Grow" being the highest at #20 on the most notable Southern Gospel Chart "The Singing News." They have over 100,000 on their self-titled music video "Red Roots." I'm wanting to submit a revised article with their latest accomplishments and background information. I would greatly appreciate the consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Countryguymusicman ( talk • contribs) 21:05, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui, I have recently discovered how to put 'notes' in articles and have inserted a couple into this article after a discussion with Fnorp on their talk page as I thought putting a couple of notes in might be the easiest way to explain Fnorp's edits. However, I'm beginning to have doubts whether this was a reasonable solution as I see further up the talk page others have discussed similar edits made by Fnorp and this doesn't appear to have been offered as a way round it. So, have I done this incorrectly? Is this not the way 'notes' should be used? It just seemed a reasonable compromise to me? I don't want to even tentatively suggest Fnorp includes a similar note on any other articles s/he may change if it is wrong; it does looks as if s/he is quite passionate about changing Holland/Netherlands in articles.
