I just read your email. Both Mirror sources (first-hand interviews with him) openly refer to her as a physiotherapist. Both are easily accessible by any member of the public.

Removal of PROD from Spotlight Kid (band)
Hello The JPS, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Spotlight Kid (band) has been removed. It was removed by Michig with the following edit summary '(deprod - article already links to a BBC interview, and a band with members of Six By Seven, Bent, Spiritualized, and Echoboy is almost certainly going to pass muster re notability. AFD if not convinced)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with Michig before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion.

NeutralHomer •

- Yes, it's not only a question of the galleries, it's the critical commentary aspect; dispersing the images as thumbnails throughout the article doesn't work either, I'm afraid. I've seen a few articles through the WP:FAC process, so know what standards we are aiming for. For instance, I was forced to remove one screenshot showing two characters next to a description of those characters, because the image provided no more information.

The JPS, I stumbled on your current project because you were notifying other editors [1] How many other editors you have contacted? I am very troubled by the non-neutral words you use. "fair use = open-season for polluting our free encyclopedia with this." I would strongly suggest you get wider consensus before you dictate what should or should not be on wikipedia.

There is no harm in notifying other editors; this is not RfC, AFD, RFA, etc. The JPS talk to me 22:57, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

You don't delete images because they "Violates non-free use policy", you don't get to decide what violates what and what doesn't. There are plenty of pages of images that are perfectly OK. If you have a problem with these images (because you were reverting) you don't use your admin tools to delete the image (out of sight, out of mind). That is using your admin tools in a VERY bad way and a clear COI. I request your restore any and all images you have deleted this way and explain exactly why you think they are "violating non-free use policy" when we had a discussion about where there is consensus they don't and Godwin backs that up. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 20:35, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- Every editor experienced in writings and researching articles to comply with Wikipedia policy has agreed that usage of these images in this way is a breach of our non-free policy. You must understand that this is not I disliking these images: I am merely carrying out my administrative, janitorial duties by removing non-free media that harms out goal of being a free encyclopedia. Policy, the pillars, and the guidelines are absolutely clear.
In the meantime, most of those articles are an embarrassment; filled with crufty lists of current and past presenters, and rarely an inline citation to support the station histories, never mind justify the use of non-free media.

And as ive said time and time and time and time again before - its all very well you lot saying edit this properlly edit that properlly - whats wrong with a little help instead of passing the buck?? You so bothered about how they look etc - bloody help! And dont give me all this nonsence about there a waste of time - there not at all in the slightest. Waterloo Road content has just as much a right on wikipedia as any other televison show. But no matter how much you try to improve articles, theres always somebody who comes along and tears it all to shreds and its rubbish. I more than prepared to improve EVERY SINGLE article involved with Waterloo Road on here so that it will meet criteria standards and such - problem is the number of morons who come along and re-write them with such irrelevant crap - there just no structure. If only it was part of a wikiproject, pages could be protected and the members who want to improve them ( and i know im not alone ) can do so without the interferrance of small minded posters who think that Tom Clarksons new car is of more bloody importance than that of the characters real plotlines!! -rant over-

- I can appreciate that it is frustrating when people add material that you know to be wrong. Sometimes they are being malicious, sometimes genuinely mistaken. You can report vandals at WP:AIV. However, there is a lot of articles on Wikipedia that simply shouldn't be here, and there are many, many about WR amongst that. At the moment they do not demonstrate notability by integrating a real-world perspective, with references t0o independent reliable sources. Could you address that? Concentrating upon plot details with be fruitless, as I will merge the articles soon if I don't see improvement. The JPS talk to me 16:52, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
But the thing about the WR atricles is that they CAN be referenced to independent and reliable sources and yes i could most certainly do that. However i am in agreement with you about merging articles, the character ones at least as it would be a heck of a lot easier to improve them and get them upto standard, sources, notablility and correct perspective in written text etc. It is something i have wanted for a long LONG time so the sooner that happens the better. 92.20.196.215 ( talk) 18:54, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Nikolay Bliznakov
You just speedy deleted
Nikolay Bliznakov per
A7. While it is correct that no proof of significance is given, it is not correct that no indication of importance were given:
1. He is an author whose works have been translated to at least three other languages.
2. The Bulgarian Wikipedia includes an article on him.
3. His article was wikilinked by another article.
Certainly this doesn't imply notability, but it indicates a possible notability which would then need be shown in an AfD discussion or in the article itself. This means that the article has been incorrectly speedily deleted.
Please undelete the article and then I'm certainly okay with an AfD.

Just looking over the article, it looks pretty good. I would probably just get a copy edit done from someone you know does good copy editing. A few things caught my eye. First, I would probably call JAWS a franchise. It has video games, Universal rides, multiple films, and an iconic figure (the shark). The fact that it has games and rides that are extensions of the original film, and not simply adaptations of said film, I'd say you are probably more Jaws (franchise) than Jaws (film series). Second, I think you go into too much detail about what the first film has spawned in that first lead paragraph. I think the first paragraph should focus--although a brief mentioning of other items--what the franchise is based on. It's based on a film (yes, the film and not the book, because it if wasn't for the film no one would even know what the book was) from 1975. Give a little more detail about the film series there. For instance, the films are more than just a shark attacking a particular area, but really how one family (The Brodys) are basically haunted (my personal observation of "haunted", so don't quote me) by a string of shark attacks everywhere they go (Amity, SeaWorld Florida, and the Bahamas). Third, the "overview" is part of the films, so it probably shouldn't be separate from them. The way it is set up, it makes it seem like you're going to give an overview of the franchise, and not just a rundown of the plot of each film. Last, the Rotten Tomatoes scores are kind of deceptive. It makes it seem like these were the critic impressions when the films were released, and RT wasn't around back then and most of the reviews on RT are within the past 10 years. Also, I not sure if 19 reviews is a large enough sample size to be representative of most critics. That's just me. Overall, it's a pretty thorough article on the franchise/film series. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 01:22, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
- P.S. You could probably get away with an audio clip of the Jaws theme, since I'm sure there's enough critical commentary both in the article and still out there to be found to support a short clip of the theme. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 01:25, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Donae'o
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Donae'o requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. UtherSRG (talk) 22:47, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I've conducted a GAN review of Jekyll (TV series), and left some comments. None are insurmountable, and I'm sure you can address them and get this article to GA status in no time. Let me know once they've been addressed. Good luck, and nice work so far! — Hun ter Ka hn 03:17, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
- Re Moffat's comments on a second series in the Jekyll entry - I can only go by what I saw him type on the (now deleted) Outpost Gallifrey forum where he used to be a member. He specifically stated (more than once I think) that he had written a second series. Sadly there is no 'proof' of this, unless you can perhaps contact him via Hartswood Films to confirm?
- Thanks for your reply to my comment. All information of Wikipedia should be verifiable by reliable sources. I'm sure that after reading those policies you will agree that the inclusion on that information currently breaches our standards. Additionally, your suggestion of contacting Moffat would breach WP:OR. The JPS talk to me 17:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Regarding Moffat's proposed sequel, he has mentioned it in another interview besides the one with the Star-Ledger. It might have been in a magazine, which I'm sure is archived on that popular Moffat fansite, which I can't link to here because of the oodles of copyright violations it makes.

i will find a quote from a source... it will take some time. however this policy if applied literally to all of wikipedia as strictly as you have applied it here, would wipe out virtually ever user-created map, chart, etc in the project. if one says that 'braeburn apples closely resemble pink lady apples' and post a picture of each type of apple, it is debatable whether that is 'original research' to the extent that is intended to be banned by wikipedia. Decora ( talk) 11:37, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

You don't delete images because they "Violates non-free use policy", you don't get to decide what violates what and what doesn't. There are plenty of pages of images that are perfectly OK. If you have a problem with these images (because you were reverting) you don't use your admin tools to delete the image (out of sight, out of mind). That is using your admin tools in a VERY bad way and a clear COI. I request your restore any and all images you have deleted this way and explain exactly why you think they are "violating non-free use policy" when we had a discussion about where there is consensus they don't and Godwin backs that up. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 20:35, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- Every editor experienced in writings and researching articles to comply with Wikipedia policy has agreed that usage of these images in this way is a breach of our non-free policy. You must understand that this is not I disliking these images: I am merely carrying out my administrative, janitorial duties by removing non-free media that harms out goal of being a free encyclopedia. Policy, the pillars, and the guidelines are absolutely clear.
In the meantime, most of those articles are an embarrassment; filled with crufty lists of current and past presenters, and rarely an inline citation to support the station histories, never mind justify the use of non-free media.

your message accusing me of making it "difficult" for editors to see what changes I make. Would you prefer me to run the summary by you next time I make an edit to ensure the content meets your personal satisfaction based on the type of edit made?

And i dont think you understand that people TRY to! Only for fools to come along and mess them up again. And as ive said time and time and time and time again before - its all very well you lot saying edit this properlly edit that properlly - whats wrong with a little help instead of passing the buck?? You so bothered about how they look etc - bloody help! And dont give me all this nonsence about there a waste of time - there not at all in the slightest. Waterloo Road content has just as much a right on wikipedia as any other televison show. But no matter how much you try to improve articles, theres always somebody who comes along and tears it all to shreds and its rubbish. I more than prepared to improve EVERY SINGLE article involved with Waterloo Road on here so that it will meet criteria standards and such - problem is the number of morons who come along and re-write them with such irrelevant crap - there just no structure. If only it was part of a wikiproject, pages could be protected and the members who want to improve them ( and i know im not alone ) can do so without the interferrance of small minded posters who think that Tom Clarksons new car is of more bloody importance than that of the characters real plotlines!! -rant over-

- I can appreciate that it is frustrating when people add material that you know to be wrong. Sometimes they are being malicious, sometimes genuinely mistaken. You can report vandals at WP:AIV. However, there is a lot of articles on Wikipedia that simply shouldn't be here, and there are many, many about WR amongst that. At the moment they do not demonstrate notability by integrating a real-world perspective, with references t0o independent reliable sources. Could you address that? Concentrating upon plot details with be fruitless, as I will merge the articles soon if I don't see improvement. The JPS talk to me 16:52, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
But the thing about the WR atricles is that they CAN be referenced to independent and reliable sources and yes i could most certainly do that. However i am in agreement with you about merging articles, the character ones at least as it would be a heck of a lot easier to improve them and get them upto standard, sources, notablility and correct perspective in written text etc. It is something i have wanted for a long LONG time so the sooner that happens the better. 92.20.196.215 ( talk) 18:54, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Look babes, You are just stalking me. Waterloo Road, and now Thatcherism! David Cameron is a follower of the sexy Margaret Thatcher. WO HO! Ultraconservative means very conservative and she was against the idea of society, she was nationalist (not fascist!) nationalist! She loved social conservative. These are factors of Thatcherism! As a member of the Tory party donating a million pounds back then to my great friend, Baroness Thatcher. Look I started watching Waterloo Road because my partner was a housemistress at a posh school and we like watching shows about stupid, empty-headed workers who know jackshit about the British squirearchy and I remember seeing Rachel Mson BSc MSc! Look The JPS! You are stalking me! Stalker, stalker, stalker! Listen to me please, sugarlumps, do not be impertinent!

It would be a little easier to add that "critical commentary" than to just outright delete the images from the page. Try moving them to "thumbs" and adding some information, it keeps the image and adds information to the page. - Neutralhomer ( talk) 15:33, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

- Critical commentary can be a few things. For instance, it could be a discussion of how a logo fits in with the parent company's branding; the design of the logo, etc. Vitally, there should be references to reliable sources. Note, it is insufficient to merely describe the image. I suggest that you read some of the peer reviews at WP:GAC and WP:FAC to become more proficient with our standards. The JPS talk to me 23:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I see that you are the primary editor for Psycho (1960 film). I am interested in giving it the Featured Article treatment in time for the film's 50th anniversary on June 16, 2010. I have a sandbox here: User:Erik/Psycho (1960 film). It appears that you've given the article a great start. As you can see in my sandbox, there are additional publications about Psycho, and I would like to explore these. What do you think about a referencing system like at American Beauty (film)#References (where the author/year links to the full resource)? Or including a video clip of the shower scene in Psycho like there is a clip at American Beauty (film)#Music & temporality?

Deletion of Nikolay Bliznakov
You just speedy deleted
Nikolay Bliznakov per
A7. While it is correct that no proof of significance is given, it is not correct that no indication of importance were given:
1. He is an author whose works have been translated to at least three other languages.
2. The Bulgarian Wikipedia includes an article on him.
3. His article was wikilinked by another article.
Certainly this doesn't imply notability, but it indicates a possible notability which would then need be shown in an AfD discussion or in the article itself. This means that the article has been incorrectly speedily deleted.
Please undelete the article and then I'm certainly okay with an AfD.

Just looking over the article, it looks pretty good. I would probably just get a copy edit done from someone you know does good copy editing. A few things caught my eye. First, I would probably call JAWS a franchise. It has video games, Universal rides, multiple films, and an iconic figure (the shark). The fact that it has games and rides that are extensions of the original film, and not simply adaptations of said film, I'd say you are probably more Jaws (franchise) than Jaws (film series). Second, I think you go into too much detail about what the first film has spawned in that first lead paragraph. I think the first paragraph should focus--although a brief mentioning of other items--what the franchise is based on. It's based on a film (yes, the film and not the book, because it if wasn't for the film no one would even know what the book was) from 1975. Give a little more detail about the film series there. For instance, the films are more than just a shark attacking a particular area, but really how one family (The Brodys) are basically haunted (my personal observation of "haunted", so don't quote me) by a string of shark attacks everywhere they go (Amity, SeaWorld Florida, and the Bahamas). Third, the "overview" is part of the films, so it probably shouldn't be separate from them. The way it is set up, it makes it seem like you're going to give an overview of the franchise, and not just a rundown of the plot of each film. Last, the Rotten Tomatoes scores are kind of deceptive. It makes it seem like these were the critic impressions when the films were released, and RT wasn't around back then and most of the reviews on RT are within the past 10 years. Also, I not sure if 19 reviews is a large enough sample size to be representative of most critics. That's just me. Overall, it's a pretty thorough article on the franchise/film series. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 01:22, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
- P.S. You could probably get away with an audio clip of the Jaws theme, since I'm sure there's enough critical commentary both in the article and still out there to be found to support a short clip of the theme. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 01:25, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Donae'o
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Donae'o requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. UtherSRG (talk) 22:47, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

- Re Moffat's comments on a second series in the Jekyll entry - I can only go by what I saw him type on the (now deleted) Outpost Gallifrey forum where he used to be a member. He specifically stated (more than once I think) that he had written a second series. Sadly there is no 'proof' of this, unless you can perhaps contact him via Hartswood Films to confirm?
- Thanks for your reply to my comment. All information of Wikipedia should be verifiable by reliable sources. I'm sure that after reading those policies you will agree that the inclusion on that information currently breaches our standards. Additionally, your suggestion of contacting Moffat would breach WP:OR. The JPS talk to me 17:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Regarding Moffat's proposed sequel, he has mentioned it in another interview besides the one with the Star-Ledger.

Hello, I've seen you around editing some of Queen's articles. Would you consider becoming a member of Queen WikiProject, a collaborative effort which works to improve the coverage of Queen related articles on Wikipedia? If you're interested, join us! |
i will find a quote from a source... it will take some time. however this policy if applied literally to all of wikipedia as strictly as you have applied it here, would wipe out virtually ever user-created map, chart, etc in the project. if one says that 'braeburn apples closely resemble pink lady apples' and post a picture of each type of apple, it is debatable whether that is 'original research' to the extent that is intended to be banned by wikipedia.
