INeverCry 20:25, 19 February 2014 (UTC) reply

( talk page stalker) Template everyone. Typically in a case like that it's not a matter of how the message had been communicated, it's the editor ignoring the warnings given. Their contributions indicate not a single edit to a talk page in any namespace and not a single effort to save any article or image nominated for deletion. That user is editing with no awareness of the community and should get banned for being a hassle (in my extrajudicial opinion). Chris Troutman ( talk) 19:58, 19 February 2014 (UTC) reply

I come across cases like this all the time on Commons, where a large number of images have been tagged and deleted with only automated notifications to the uploader and no detailed warnings or messages. I usually try to warn or leave a message after I delete or tag multiple copyvios from one uploader. I think some taggers are uncomfortable giving actual warnings, or they don't feel they have the time. It's too bad Twinkle couldn't be set to add an additional boiler plate warning like yours when it detects a certain number of previous copyvio notifications for deleted images/pages.

Hi - I just heard of this musician and was surprised that there was a deleted entry on Wikipedia. The deletion says "(A7: Article about a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject)". After a little web research, it seems that Al Hurricane should meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for musicians. I guess the article just didn't include enough information to establish that.

I note that there are several Wikipedia articles that mention Al Hurricane, including: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_music_in_the_United_States_(1920%E2%80%9349) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_music_in_the_United_States_(1970%E2%80%93present) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_New_Mexico http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparx_(US_band)

I have no vested interest in this and have no connection with the musician. I’m just an interested Wikipedia user, and was surprised at the lack of a current listing. As I said above, I’ve just heard of him and have no particular info to add to an article, but if there is any way I can help, please feel free to contact me.

There would be no problem with DriveHQ having a proper article in WP:Mainspace, showing WP:N using WP:RS. It should be started in a sandbox such as User:DriveHQ/sandbox. A userpage under the company name is often seen as promotional though. You can have a look at the guidelines for company articles at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business.

Userpages are for Wikipedia-related material, so CVs and resumes, etc, usually get zapped.

I don't think the fair use rationale is legitimate. The still of him crying doesn't add anything to the article. You can say in words that the film features a long close-up of him crying, which the section of the article where the image appears does, and this is a simple concept, with no need for visual illustration.

I'm sorry for the confusion INeverCry. We should've updated the project page right away to reflect the changed scope.

@ Nyttend: I still think this page should be deleted per G10, U5, or G11.

It looks like a skinny kid. He's not a wrestler. This atleast falls under U5. INeverCry 01:12, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply

G10: how is it an attack? Remove the remaining attack bits yourself and I'll not complain, or let me know and I can remove them, but I don't see anything at this point. G11: how is it spammy? It's clearly a joke, but it's so obviously not believeable that it's not going to deceive anyone into thinking that the guy is so wonderful. U5: let me quote what I said to someone else a few minutes ago. Such an extremely vague and unhelpful criterion should never have been enacted, and now that we're stuck with it, it should not be used in anything but the most egregious cases, e.g. ongoing onwiki games.

According to this diff [1] you deleted a file I uploaded many years ago on the grounds of "copyright violation". I have only just become aware of this, as I received no notification on Commons (this may because the file was transferred to Commons by another editor. I don't know. It was so long ago I can't remember). I can find no record of any discussion on Commons. So I'd like to know how a photograph I took myself can be a copyright violation. My guess is that you were making a judgement regarding freedom of panorama rules, with regard to the picture in the background (which was, admittedly, intended to be a significant part of the subject of the photograph). I would like to be able to use this image, and don't really care whether or not it is on commons. Could you clarify your decision and offer any useful suggestions. Paul B ( talk) 17:54, 24 October 2014 (UTC) reply

It was speedy deleted as a derivative work because there's no FoP for 2D artworks in the UK. I did the deletion, and the image was tagged for speedy deletion by my fellow Commons admin Rodhullandemu.

Hello, am new to wikipedia. Trying to just add a short note on our publication so that people know who it is published by, in the UK, where it is distributed. I've been trying to work my way through the instructions etc. but got a deletion alert before I'd even finished. Would appreciate your advice. thanks ( My Warehouse Home ( talk) 02:12, 2 February 2015 (UTC)) reply

First I would note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and so the aim is to create articles (something like My Warehouse Home) rather than any kind of notice or advertisement on a user page. In order to have an article covering your publication, you would have to show why the publication is notable using reliable sources. Guidelines can be found at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). You may also want to use the articles for creation process. The other issue in this case is that you're a representative of the publication, which introduces a possible conflict of interest. If you do go forward with writing a proper article, you'll have be careful to present a neutral account of the subject. You may also end up having to create a new account with a non-company name. If that becomes the case, I would advise you to announce on your user page that you're a representitive of the publication. INeverCry 02:35, 2 February 2015 (UTC) reply

I think the only times it's automatic is when someone requests a bot run. Thanks for adding the WPWW talkpage template to those stubs. I've been working on adding it, too. It would be a sweet if a bot did it automatically on a routine basis, though. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 03:32, 2 February 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Rosiestep: What about User:InceptionBot? It still updates User:AlexNewArtBot/RussiaSearchResult for WPRussia, and even User:AlexNewArtBot/WomenartistsSearchResult for WikiProject Women artists, among many other projects. How would one go about getting a new article search result like these for WPWW? I've used these for tagging new WPRU articles, and articles for WPPoetry/WPNovels too. Not sure if any of these lists is also tagged for the corresponding project by another bot. I don't know much about bots though. I just smile when they help me and get annoyed when they don't. I know the bot wizards on Commons, but not here. Perhaps you know who to ask. Even if we just had a new article feed like WPRussia, it would be very usefull.

The additions look great Randy. Thanks for taking the time to work on that. I've done 81 of these over the past few years, many of which I hope to expand at some point.

What an impressive list of templates! Nice work, thank you. You've pretty much covered much of literature. You must like templates, so you'd know that those who benefit most from them are those who work on them, they're the ones making a mental map of a topic or a persons life and career. They've taught me a lot. Would you mind if I sometimes poked around on some of those, maybe putting in some of the 'Below' items (commons, wikiquote, etc.). If you did so much here I can't imagine how much you've accomplished over at commons. Cool. Randy Kryn 19:42 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Please feel welcome to work on any of these. Many of them need work, as I just made a rudimentary navbox in many cases. As far as Commons goes, I focus mostly on admin work, though I do a bit of categorization of tennis player and figure skater images. INeverCry 23:29, 11 February 2015 (UTC) reply

Thanks, I'll put a link on my talk page so I can dip into the list from time to time (although probably not often enough). Do you have some favorites that you'd like to get back to or would want me to play with first? I don't know why more editors here don't relish working on templates. They are maps of both the site and of the lives and work of the individuals being mapped, which to me is a key component of their overall footprint on Wikipedia. Your batch is a treasure of data on literature, so again, thank you for doing them. Randy Kryn 8:18 12 February, 2015 (UTC)

Keats, Shelley, and Pushkin are the most important writers I've done navboxes for, and are also my personal favorites. I like most of them, but I tend toward the 19th century and older writers, and the Russians. The newer writers I did because they needed doing; I don't read much past the 20s or 30s, and I haven't read any of the ones I did navboxes for. I kind of ran out of the ones I really like and read. INeverCry 10:59, 12 February 2015 (UTC) reply

Putting the 'Commons' etc. on some of them. You did a template for Emma Goldman! Right after Maureen Stapleton won the Academy Award for portraying her in 'Reds' I drove over and wrote a poem on her grave, "telling her" about the Academy Award win. Decades ahead of her time (and quite angry about not being in her time). Looking at your list I must say again, nice work, and thank you from a fan of literature, although I don't have a speaking knowledge even a tenth of what you must have about the important poets of their time.

How to pick up more women...

Hello! Victuallers and I have developed a proposal for a talk to be presented at Wikimania 2015. It's titled, How to pick up more women... -- as in more women editors and more women's biographies. Examples include the Edit-a-thon blitz during WikiWomen's History Month and the "new articles" work underway by WikiProject Women Writers. The Wikimania talk proposal review process has begun and there's no guarantee that this proposal will be accepted. That's where you come in. Please review our proposal and give us feedback.

But not – it is as I feared – on mine. I've put an extra <br/> after every line, which looks untidy but at least makes it clear to me and such as me where the line-breaks are. Thanks. -- Antiquary ( talk) 10:05, 2 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Ahem, is there a new monitor in Antiquary's future...preferably his near future? INeverCry 20:40, 2 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Not unless he gets one for free. Antiquary spends no money on new equipment while the old stuff still sputters and crackles along. -- Antiquary ( talk) 10:31, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply

I'm glad to see that you've "unretired". It's kinda nice to you know that you're around (not just on Commons). Regards.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 23:44, 23 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Thanks. Every time I do this, I quickly realize just how connected Commons and en.wiki are; spammers upload their logos and other promotional materials at Commons to use here, as do facebookers, sockmasters, etc; moving files, finding homes for new files, etc. INeverCry 02:52, 24 June 2015 (UTC) reply

    • Good to hear from you Dennis. I've only been "pulled back in" about 20 times so far... INeverCry 21:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC) reply
      • Reminds me of another quote, by Mark Twain: "Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times." Some say Wikipedia is no less addicting, but I know, you could quit any time you really wanted to ;) Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:52, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply
        • I actually quit smoking over 5 years ago, and haven't had a cigarette since. Maybe Wikipedia is more addictive. :P INeverCry 01:09, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply
          • That, and cigarettes only kill you. Wikipedia can be much worse for your health. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 13:15, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply

You can share this one with Dennis if you like. Cheers. Drmies ( talk) 20:31, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Pabst Blue Ribbon??? Drmies went cheap on us INC, first makes us share one, then buys cheap shit. And you know he's pulling down the big bucks as a professor down at Confederate Flag University. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 21:11, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply

• Nope, not anymore-- the flag is down. ;) "'Alabama is proud state with a proud tradition of success, we can’t be seen to support losers' continued Governor Bentley." Drmies ( talk) 21:12, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • You know I'm more than a little skillful with Photoshop (20 years into it), and I was just about to consider editing the photo of you to add the flag on a cap, and some inappropriate saying on your shirt, but I resisted the urge. For now. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 21:16, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • And the satire probably makes more sense if you live in Alabama. Or like sports. I did the final paragraph in his letter, very classy ;) Dennis Brown - 2¢ 21:20, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Thanks Drmies. It's in the high 90s here, so a cold beer would be a bit tempting. But I gave up alcohol 5 years ago along with smoking. I highly recommend Arrogant Bastard Ale, and Ruination IPA though. My old favorites... INeverCry 22:55, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply

• I think I made up for the both of us tonight. (Our go-to beer these days is a local, Straight To Ale--their Monkeynaut, or something cute like that.) High 90s here as well--but the pool is only in the high 80s. I was reminded of your rather principled stand a few years ago, for which I congratulate you.

With Glazunov's 150 birthday coming up, I started Cantata after Pushkin and wonder if you could help to find the texts on which it is based and whatever more? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:49, 3 August 2015 (UTC) reply

I've asked a friend over on ru.wiki. INeverCry 02:58, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

• The Cantata was just dedicated to Pushkin's birthday anniversary and was based on the verses of another "poet", K. R. See [3]. Actually, I don't think those verses can inspire anyone. Sealle ( talk) 04:50, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Thanks for the help. Ironic that he was exiled and hounded by one Romanov and then "memorialized" by another... INeverCry 05:12, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Thank you for the help, both. I was afraid that the name I found in the works list was not really "common", which one should I take then? Can you word the above in the article? I think it's interesting! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 05:55, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Could you help to the Russian equivalents of the names and movement titles? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:38, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

• Anytime. For English movement titles please see [4], the original titles you can find here [5]:

“

I. Хор: Мы многолюдною толпою… II. Колыбельная: У этой тихой колыбели… III. Прошли младенческие годы… IV. Ария: От забот земли унылой… V. Гимн: Вечно, славный без сравненья…

”

• And what names would you like to transliterate? Sealle ( talk) 11:50, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Thank you, very helpful. Names: the different names of the piece. I now chose the recorded name as the article title, but that may be not the best choice. Better than Cantata after Puschkin anyway. The score also has short names of the movements Chorus, Berceuse, Aria and Hymn. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 11:56, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

English	Russian
Commemorative Cantata for the Centenary of the Birth of Pushkin Memorial Cantata Cantata in Memory of Pushkin's 100th Birthday Chorus Berceuse Aria Hymn	Торжественная кантата в память 100-летней годовщины А. С. Пушкина Мемориальная кантата Кантата к 100-летию А. С. Пушкина Хор Колыбельная Ария Гимн

IMHO, the current article name looks nice. Sealle ( talk) 12:15, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Thank you so much! Will you take that to the article? I am a bit busy at the moment. If not I will do it later. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 13:23, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Most Russian now in the article (not the beginning of the movements yet. Next question: recorded version is with orchestra, score for piano? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:26, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

One more: "the original titles you can find here" - well, not easy for me ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:30, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

• RE: recorded version. I think the best way to find it out is to listen, pushing play buttons on the page. Sealle ( talk) 15:55, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply
• RE: original titles. I've added the full original text as external media. Sealle ( talk) 15:55, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

I was working on fixing the page but i wasn't even given enough time to make the fixes before being deleted. Then when i tried to do the fixes and cited all the material for verification as well as the information to the significance it would not let me save the new information. How can I get the page up and running with the new information already written and cited? ArezCobain ( talk) 04:40, 21 October 2015 (UTC) reply

It looks like your help request has been answered. I would second Drm310's response, especially the autobiography concern. INeverCry 18:50, 21 October 2015 (UTC) reply

The article appears to have been deleted and then recreated. There might be another problem [6] to deal with. -- Drm310 ( talk) 19:06, 21 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Hi INEVER CRY,

I want to appreciate your support and immense contributions at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Wikicology. I appreciate the confidence you have in me and I'm deeply sorry to disappoint you. It has never occurred to me that my user page could be used against me among other concerns. Although some irrelevant issues where raised but I will take them as constructive criticisms. I won't allow that to discourage me and I will continue my good work here. Hope I can reach out to you for assistance in the future? With kind regards, Wikic¤l¤gy ^{t@lk to M£} 21:00, 30 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Hi Wikicology. I'm usually around somewhere. Sorry to see you got the axe at your Request for Abuse. If it's any comfort, I used to be an administrator here, and I don't miss it at all. INeverCry 21:26, 30 October 2015 (UTC) reply

If you are going to be renaming files, can you also update any existing pages that use the image ortherwise they will end up showing the wrong image. I've had to edit some articles to point them at the correct image. --- WOSlinker ( talk) 12:25, 1 November 2015 (UTC) reply

@ WOSlinker: Sorry for the extra work. I'm used to the script on Commons that automatically does usage replacements through my account. I'll make sure I do any needed replacements after filemoves here in future. Thanks for the help and for making me aware of this. It surprises me that Wikipedia doesn't have a script to do replacements, but instead relies on redirects. Hopefully someday we'll have a local version of Global replace or a User:WikipediaDelinker bot to work like User:CommonsDelinker. INeverCry 21:25, 1 November 2015 (UTC) reply

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect File:Background2.jpg. Since you had some involvement with the File:Background2.jpg redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 22:48, 5 November 2015 (UTC) reply
