Nomination of Suicide of Amanda Todd for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Suicide of Amanda Todd is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suicide of Amanda Todd (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 22:05, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Help, advice dealing with editor

I dont wish to put you on the spot, but do you have any suggestions in dealing with editor FrontBottomFracas in the the Amanda Todd article? I noticed you worked on the article and your comments made you seem a reasonable person to ask advice. I am at my wits end. I've been close to posting possible block warnings on his talk page, but I keep backing off because despite everything he does engage in discussions with other editors. However, he seems to learn nothing from them! He both doesn't understand Wikipedia policy and what he does understand he disagrees with! He seems obsessed with the date issue and keeps going on and on repeating arguments which have no merit. Ive put a lot of extra work because if him and we have reverted almost all, if not all, his contributions, I'm sorry if this is a bit long but I'm near the point of giving up and unwatchimg the article. Any help is very welcome. BashBrannigan (talk) 05:02, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

I posted at User talk:FrontBottomFracas#Talk:Suicide of Amanda Todd.23Date of birth and Talk:Suicide of Amanda Todd#Date of birth. I hope it helps. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:21, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Cable (club) article.

Dear Anna. Thank you for your support with this page. We are currently editing it for resubmission. I do feel, however, that once our page is written in a neutral stance there is no reason for it not to be published, especially as there are pages like this http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Cameron_Leslie_(businessman) which give no insight or information but seem to merit an article.

Many thanks, Tom

Cable london (talk) 11:40, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello Tom,
You are most welcome. Writing neutrally is much appreciated. I must say though, that I am not a big fan of company articles, especially when created for promotional purposes.
What will eventually determine whether or not it becomes an article is the quality and quantity of the references.
Thanks for pointing out Cameron Leslie (businessman). The hackneyed and much-cited WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS explains how that article cannot justify the presence of another, similarly non-notable article. In fact, bringing it to our attention places it under scrutiny, and it might actually be nominated for deletion by one of my talk page stalkers.
Best of luck. May your bouncers be burly and your DJs divine. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:00, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Golf

The top-level template for a sport is never used on biographies, and absolutely not on every biography there is. Only things actually on that template should transclude it. Please seek consensus for the deviation from usual practice. Thanks. Courcelles 00:56, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Golf template

I have remove the addition of {{Golf}} to Dan Doh!! and Kaze no Daichi. While both manga use golf as a thematic element in there stories, they are not listed in the template and it makes little sense to add a template on a non-fictional subject to articles about works of fiction. Just like you wouldn't add {{Basketball}} to Space Jam or a football navbox to Remember the Titans, {{Golf}} shouldn't be added to these two articles. —Farix (t | c) 01:05, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I just added that template to zillions of articles and must have not been paying enough attention. Thanks for the removal. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:27, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Joy Harjo photo you nominated for deletion.

Hi Anna, Joy Harjo has rights to use that image from Paula. Is that not o.k? We really want to have a different photo for her on Wikipedia. Thanks, — Preceding unsigned comment added by TH77777 (talk • contribs) 01:10, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello there. I'm afraid it's already been deleted. I found the image on the net as being copyrighted and owned by Paul Abdoo, so please upload it again and ask him (her?) to send in a letter giving permission. This is what you should use; it is self-explanatory: User:Anna Frodesiak/OTRS.

Proposed deletion of Vanellope von Schweetz

The article Vanellope von Schweetz has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of notability - fictional characters from a single movie rarely achieve this

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MASEM (t) 05:55, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Template Golf

Sorry, you've gone way overboard on adding the Golf template to pages. The only pages it should be on are those that the template itself links too. I'm rolling back most of your edits (as User:Courcelles has started to do). Tewapack (talk) 17:03, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Oh dear. I'm so sorry. I was never able to find the guideline on that. I just thought it would increase article traffic.
You're definitely not going to like this. :) Perhaps I can ask the folks at AWB to zap those.
Many of the the following navboxes go well beyond what they list, but seem to be useful to visitors in the articles where they exist.
Please let me know about those and I will look after the problem. I'm terribly sorry for the bad judgement call. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:30, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
I'll let others judge the appropriateness of these other templates on pages. I do appreciate your creation of the Golf template but there are lots of other golf navboxs that are appropriate for individual pages especially. Tewapack (talk) 17:46, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
That's a good point. I trust your and Courcelles' judgement, which means that the lacrosse template is in far too many articles. As for the others, they seem sort of reasonable. Maybe the cigarette one is too much. Shall I ask post at AWB tasks for removal of lacrosse? And by the way, is there a guideline on this? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:52, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
I haven't found a guideline per say but it is what I've observed in editing. I quick scan of the search results for "overuse of navbox" in Wikipedia namespace turns up a similar discussion about to {{Lists of Russians}} here and here. Tewapack (talk) 20:51, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Update

The wonderful User:Riley Huntley‎ and I, using the just-discovered, dodgy and dangerous "TinyTask", a don't-take-your-eyes-off-it-for-a-second-while-it's-doing-its-thing-type program, zapped over 900 {{Lacrosse topics}} from all articles except the ones actually in the navbox itself.

If there are any other such removals you think should be done, just ask. I think we have the hang of it now. :)

Again, sorry for the mess, and thanks for rolling back the others before they got buried. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:03, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Maybe the navboxes should have a note to this effect on their talkpages regarding usage. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT PRAISE 14:01, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
That's a good idea, but I don't think people ever see such talk pages. Plus, it's case-by-case. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:03, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
Then I guess they will continue to be used incorrectly. ;) --THE FOUNDERS INTENT PRAISE 15:11, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
I agree. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:17, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anthothoe albocincta, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Substrate (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.

List of African dishes

Hello Anna. I've finished filling-in entries for the List of African dishes article. Here are the current article traffic statistics for it at Stats.grok.se. The article would benefit from expanded information for some of the entries, but at least it's complete at this time. Let's see if the article's traffic increases in the future! Cheers, Northamerica1000(talk) 12:45, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very, very much. I was meaning to get back to that sometime. Yes, let's hope it climbs to the level of the pastries list. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:38, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Dream Whip

Since it's apparent that you're a "foodie", Dream Whip is an article that I've improved which was previously tagged for possibly being non-notable. I've added several sources to the article, and removed the notability tag, but finding additional sources has proven challenging. If you're interested, check out the article and if you can find any sources, add them to it and expand it! Check it out! Northamerica1000(talk) 14:15, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

I couldn't find much either. I even went to the Kraft website. They have evaporated, powdered, and vaporized all mention of it. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:38, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
Maybe food journals have more information. From what I've read, it's more difficult to find now in the U.S. compared to its heyday, but it is still manufactured. Northamerica1000(talk) 12:36, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

No more Hostess Cakes?!

Breaking news update of the utmost importance!

  • At the grocery yesterday they were completely out. The area where Hostess stuff was previously kept was entirely empty. I asked an employee about it, and they advised me regarding the matter of Hostess ceasing operations! Unbelievable! People on Ebay are asking hundreds for a box of cakes! Ridiculous! Northamerica1000(talk) 14:06, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi folks. Well, it looks like all the cakes are back now. I guess that's a good thing. They have been traditionally used to treat people who felt that their blood was moving through their arteries too quickly. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:13, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Were you the one who removed essentially everything from BiMBA entry?

Hi Anna, I am writing to inquire about a possible recent edit you did on BiMBA page currently pending submission. Why was essentially everything removed? and the logo as well? That is the logo for our school, and we own all rights to the use of that logo. I do not understand why there would be any problem using that logo. Please give me a clearer explanation as to your actions. Thank you.

Hi Anna, Thank you for your response, I understand where you are coming from. However, my question now is, since I am representing our organization, obviously most of the information presented will come from sources already available to me, given by the organization. How am I suppose to create a wiki page providing these exact information without it somehow infringing with your regulations? Also, is there an easier way to talk and discuss? i'd hate to spam your wall with my angry (or maybe just "passionate") messages. :)

Hi Anna

My name is Tony from Ore Community Land Trust. We are one of the groups involved in the campaign to protect Speckled Wood.

Template:Country topics

Hi Anna,

  • Can we have a Commons link below?

Thanks for your message. Forgive my ignorance, please, but I'm not sure what you mean... Hope I'm not missing something obvious. (I'm still a bit new to Wikipedia!) CsDix (talk) 22:25, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Navboxes can have a "below" option to add items on the bottom bar. For example:
Click edit and you will see |below = {{icon|category}} '''[[:Category:Paper|Category]]'''    [[File:Commons-logo.svg|16x16px|link = |alt = ]] '''[[commons:Category:Paper|Commons]]'''
This new navbox you designed doesn't seem to allow that "below" option for commons images. Can you help? Thanks, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:37, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Ohh, I see what you mean now. Good point. I'll look into it (read: learn how to do it). Thanks for the suggestion. CsDix (talk) 22:41, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Many thanks. I would like to add commons cat to all the China topics templates. That's why I'm asking. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:52, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
I've just tried adding a "commons:Category:[country/territory]" link to the "below" line. Hopefully that's what you have in mind..? (Haven't tried testing it yet.) CsDix (talk) 23:00, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Thank you. Would you be so kind as to add the Commons category to the navbox below. Then I will do the rest. As it is now, I can't quite see how to add anything below, or how the category is added. Cheers.
Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:10, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi again, Anna. The template should include that link already, but, after some fiddling, it seems that the "#ifexist:commons:Category:[placename]" that determines whether or not it's shown doesn't work -- at least, not in the same way as for the other links along that line.

Okay, okay, apologies -- I've just had to attend to some life elsewhere (and will need to do so again in about half an hour). Would you rather I didn't try to accommodate your request? CsDix (talk) 19:04, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

I think you're breaking lots of templates. If this is so, it may be affecting hundreds of articles right now. [1] Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:05, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
And no, I'd love for you to accommodate my request. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:15, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Well, problem averted for now, I think. And it was working as far as I had tested it before I was distracted. These things happen. I'm now distracted again for a while, but hope to iron out the problem later. CsDix (talk) 19:18, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
....I think I've fixed it. At least, I don't think it should be malfunctioning any more. If you read the end of the documentation, you can try adding the Commons link to a template and see what happens. Now, I have to go. CsDix (talk) 19:26, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Sorry. You'll probably think I'm a bit of a dunce, but I can't make heads or tails of that template. Do you plan on switching all the China province topics navboxes? If so, I'll wait till that's done, see a example of how to add commons at the bottom, and do the rest. Thanks, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:33, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Back again -- and it looks like the template is working, including the Commons link. Not a dunce, no, just left with an incomplete explanation before I had to disappear. If you look at the last item in the table in the documentation's "Parameters" section, you'll see what to do (and I've just implemented it at Template:Anhui topics). Hope that's enough information -- if not, let me know, as it means I should review the description. In fact, perhaps I should rewrite it altogether, in a different way..? CsDix (talk) 20:37, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
PS I've no plans as regards rolling out the template other than to try it on some / most / maybe even all (eventually) those listed in Category:Country and territory topics templates... but if there's somewhere else I should look or you'd like me to assist with e.g. China province versions, just tell me where to start. Thanks for catching my oversight and for finding the template in the first place! CsDix (talk) 20:37, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Hey Anna! I remember you declining a similar request in past however, what about now? I'm obviously interested in nominating you and feel that you'll do great and the extra tools will undoubtedly benefit the community. Let me know your thoughts. TheSpecialUser TSU 03:20, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. Your consideration is much appreciated. I've expressed my reluctance before. These are my reasons:
  • I would probably stop enjoying being here.
  • I have no experience in such things as closes, etc.
  • I've made too many dumb errors in the past, which would be brought up.
  • The work I do doesn't really require tools.
  • A minimum 80 I.Q. is required.
But thank you for thinking of me. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:40, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

R.C.S.M. Govt Medical College and CPR Hospital, Kolhapur

Hello Anna. I have stated a few sources of my article in the website like muhs.ac.in which is the university our college is affiliated to and other websites about the information of the exams. The history of the hospital has been obtained from data from the college library. The college logo was created by us students and has been adopted by the college, it does not have any copyrights. It is freely accessible for students of the college and alumni. Thank you for all the help. I tried to upload the logo to wikipedia but my account wasnt verified and thus I tried to upload it wiki commons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhinav72 (talk • contribs) 00:19, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Replied at your talk page. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:22, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello Anna,

The content is not a verbatim from a copyrighted source. The statistics have been adopted from the data from the library and has been put in words by my as a representative of my college student union and alumni. Also, I want to upload it on wikipedia itself, but like I said, I am unable to do it as my account is yet not verified. I wanted to ask you as to should I want for my account to be verified or upload it to wikicommons and use it from there? Will it be deleted again from wikicommons by another administrator in which case I would prefer to upload it from wikipedia. Regards and Thank you for all the help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhinav72 (talk • contribs) 00:30, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Not verbatim is good. Sorry to think otherwise. I should have assumed good faith. :) Please try to upload the image again at Commons. If it worked before, it should work again. Plus, it should be safe there. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:25, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
If you still have trouble, you can email it to me and I will upload it for you. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:32, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
I've asked for the image to be undeleted.[4]. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:08, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Now undeleted and restored at the article. So, what about the license? Who actually owns it? Is it to be public domain. You decide and then we can work out the wheres and hows of the license. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:06, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Well, it was designed by our student body, as a gift to our college, but since licensing is not a big deal in India, we did not file for a license. Also, because, it is something which is safe in the public domain, and we have no issues. If you think I should apply for a license for the image as the ex- head of the student body, please let me know as to how I should go about it. I along with the co designer can apply for the license together of you think it is necessary. Regards.--24.96.190.19 (talk) 04:58, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for letting the image back. I cannot thank you enough for all the help that you have provided me. Regards --24.96.190.19 (talk) 05:07, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome, but I really didn't do anything helpful. Now, the image (File:CPR LogoBlack.jpg) has been nominated again. I've asked the nominator to suggest a solution here: [5]. Let's see what he says. Thanks for your understanding and patience. You're handling this very well. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:19, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Ok, here's the plan: LogoBlack.jpg Ask the principal creator to send in an email releasing it into the public domain. Here is the form to email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org:

I hereby affirm that I, OWNERNAMEHERE am the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of:

OWNERNAMEHERE , owner of the above mentioned image(s)

December 13, 2012

So, you have given me two options. I can change that where it says its my own work because it was created by me along with our student body. Or I can ask our principal designer to whom we attributed the credit to create to logo to send in an email like you mentioned in the personal email taking credit for the creation of the logo but not being the sole owner of it as it was gifted to our medical college to adopt the logo which our medical college did. And the logo is not being used as a personal resource, but is on a page which has been created for the medical college. Please let me know if I should do either of the two or do both. Thank you. I am sorry if this has been too much trouble for you guys. Actually, I was just disappointed that my college information and logo was not here on wikipedia. Because of this, when I was interviewing for a residency position in the States, they printed the logo of the other college on my id card from the same city because they could not find any information about our college on wikipedia and could not find the logo. This hurts as I am proud to be a ex student and part of the alumni of my medical school. So, please let me know how I should go about it and I shall follow suit. Regards--174.57.248.130 (talk) 02:34, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

If the logo appears at a website, then I can upload it to wikipedia and not commons and it can be used in the article. We can call it property of the university. Does it appear at a website so we can cite the source? If not, I would suggest the OTRS solution. Simply assign an owner or representative of the organization that owns it, and that person can email in the OTRS permission. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:02, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Okay. I uploaded the image to Wikipedia citing the source as the hospital itself. If you can find a website where it's located, that would be great. Otherwise, we will have to see. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:26, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Well, the issue is that the college does not have a website. So, I can wait and watch and if the image gets taken down again from wikipedia now that you have uploaded it over there, I can ask the principal designer to send in a OTRS permission which should sort out the issue once and for all. Is that fine?

--Abhinav72 (talk) 18:00, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Ok, yes. Let's not worry about the source websites. I would suggest letting the Wikicommons upload be deleted. The other version, here at Wikipedia is the one currently in the article. I added license information for that one as "only for the Wikipedia article". That means it's not public domain, but is allowed to be used in the article only, something the university would probably prefer. So, unless that image is challenged, I think we can just call the matter resolved. If it does get challenged due to lack of source, then we can worry about that then. Is that okay?

There's a difference between "publicly available" and "public domain". You took content verbatim from here, which says "copyrighted" at the bottom.
The image and other text you took from searchanddiscovery.com seems also to be copyrighted according to this. Section 9 says so, I think. Please tell me where it says it's allowed. Thanks, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:26, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Linking templates

Thanks for your message. I think perceptions vary. The cities and towns templates are divided district-wise and then linked. This helps when a person is searching for a town and is not sure about the district. The alternative would have been to list all cities and towns in a state in a single template, in addition to the district templates. The former seems to be a better alternative. The state-wise listing, along with the district wise linking means that each new addition, would have to be on both the templates. This idea struck me when I had great difficulty in locating places in Andhra Pradesh. Such linking is there in many Indian states. I am sure there is at least no harm, but I would like to listen to the basis for your thinking. Cheers. - Chandan Guha (talk) 11:30, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not quite sure what to make of it. It's a bit like a rabbit hole, but I've posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Templates#Navbox links that link to other navboxes to see what they say. Because it's on such a massive scale (hundreds if I'm not mistaken), I personally would have sought advice first. But, you were bold, and I guess that's a good thing. :)
The bold parent items in place of subgrouping is a bit confusing.
I've gone over a few other articles you created and did a bit of formatting. No offence intended.
Nice work on the railway templates, by the way. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:34, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Earlier, I was not aware of Wikipedia:WikiProject Templates. Moreover, such links were there in templates, even before I started working on navboxes. I liked the idea and so followed suit. Cheers. - Chandan Guha (talk) 14:54, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
That's a heck of a lot of work. I wonder if we could get away with just adding a full colon after the bold items. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:10, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
There is hardly any response at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Templates#Navbox links that link to other navboxes. As the templates are useful in Indian conditions, I would request you to give up on de-linking of templates. I will introduce the sub-groups in due course. Cheers. - Chandan Guha (talk) 01:17, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
I totally agree. De-linking templates would be far too much work for the benefit. Over the years, I suspect they will get changed here and there. The sub-groups is also a large task. I can't see a way to automate it, but consider simply adding a full colon. It's a bit unconventional, but may look alright. Plus, it can be semi-automated. I can even have a crack at that. Thoughts? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:27, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your decision on linking. I will get on with the sub-groups. Don't worry about that. Cheers. - Chandan Guha (talk) 02:19, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Honestly, don't worry too much about it. Maybe I'm wrong about the whole thing. It's an awful lot of work, and really not a huge problem. In any case, try the full colon solution and see if you like it. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:23, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Subgroups in topics templates

Thanks for your suggestion. I agree that creating subgroups would be better. However, changing all such templates would take time, but I would do it in due course. - Chandan Guha (talk) 11:40, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Live Aid

HI Anna, am I wrong or did you just edit the live aid wiki? If so it mentions "opinion", Hal Uplinger amd Mike Mitchells input was NOT opinion it was fact, without their skils there would not have been any Live Aid at all. Did you bother to read the interview I refered to? It clearly shows the level of there input. Therefore it is not opinion. ! Please explain. Thanks Edward (The Hologram Man (talk) 02:40, 14 December 2012 (UTC))

Hi Edward, and welcome. The thing is that it's your opinion, and not encyclopedic. ("Both the late, great Hal Uplinger and Mike Mitchel deserve huge praise and mention for their combined efforts in turning the event into reality") That might be suitable for a magazine review, but not an encyclopedia. I suggest you remove it. Others certainly will if you don't. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:56, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
And no, I didn't read the interview. It wouldn't make any difference. This edit says "I would most strongly recommend reading this interview with the late, great Hal Uplinger for a more comprehensive view on the event as well.". Again, that's not really suitable content for an encyclopedia article. That's basically you, as an editor, recommending others read a interview. The article should just contain facts. Please don't be upset. Just think what would be in an Encyclopedia Britannica article. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:05, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for these littel additions. I want to set the records straight that Hal and Mike were the main people to make it happen. Hal is dead and cannot speak for himself and Mike doesn't blow his own horn and neither did Hal. I have today discussed copyright release of the article directly with the Smithsonianm they are happy to do so and will be putting that in writing, they also expressed strong interest in being a part of the new event as well.FYI. So when they send the release I will copy you for your files and then maybe we can work on some words to include in the main body of the text to reflect a more accurate storyline.

Editing the Three Lakes WI page

I just posted content on Wikipedia which was removed because it is similar to content elsewhere.

That is correct .. I authored the trythreelakes page and would like to use that same text to update our Wikipedia entry.

Kole Imports Wikiepedia Page

First, I want to say, "Thank you!" Thank you for being a kind person and sending me those kind words. It really made my day as I have been stressing out about this for over a week now.  :/

Regarding the Kole Imports wikipedia page: I put up as many articles I could find that have a url - the rest are in print and I don't know how it would work to scan/send over. The articles were written by 3rd party sources about us in industry publications but they are being deemed as Marketing Spam or "Crap".

Is there any way the page can be stripped to just show name, founding date, basic history, and 1 line stating what our business does and where we import from?

We have been around for over 30 years and have helped the dollar industry become what it is today, we were one of the first importers of dollar goods from China and partnered with 99 Cent Only Stores to make them what they are today. I feel that people should at least be able to look up our history because it has helped shape/change things. Even before getting this job, I looked at the Kole Imports wikipedia page to get insight into and facts about the company.

I definitely see the way it is now as being slightly spammy and there is much that should be taken down. What if it only had this up until we could find notable sources, "According to the Better Business Bureau, the company was founded in 1985 by brothers Rob and Danny Kole." ? Could that work?

Please, let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi April,
I'm happy I helped you to feel better. You sound a bit "under the cosh" over there. I've commented about the fate of the article at the article's talk page. The prognosis isn't good. It isn't really any spamminess in the article. It's more about supporting references, and the fact that the company is just not that notable in terms of Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#No inherent notability.

Will you please check to see if the article i've submitted is in queue?

Dear Anna,

It's been a while since i've bothered you with my BiMBA page (which still haven't been approved). Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/BiMBA I've rewritten basically the entire thing, and i've added two sections to it. I don't want to add more because the more i write the more mistake i'd probably end up making. I want to start small and move on after the barebone is accepted. Can you please check to see if the revision is under queue? I don't see one of those templates that we usually get after we've submitted, and i'd hate to be in a limbo where the article is not going anywhere. Better yet, if you have time to simply look at the article and see if you have anything else you need me to work on, please point it out and i'll be happy to fix it. Thank you. Tyawang (talk) 07:44, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry to take so long. I will check your Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/BiMBA soon. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:40, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
Okay. The vlerick reference is really too close to the subject to be credible. The GFC is blocking the Businessweek and Forbes references, so I can't check those. The other references are the bimba itself. I really think the article, which otherwise looks okay, needs some more independent references to support it. It also needs to show why it's not just another organization. Just because it's connected to PKU, doesn't mean it satisfies this: "When evaluating the notability of organizations or products, please consider whether they have had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education." Talk page stalkers are welcome to render an opinion or act, if they wish. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:11, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
Got it, thank you very much, i will try to find more references. The problem with this is that most of the references are in Chinese, and it doesn't make sense to put those as references for the English wiki page. I may have to think of other ways to get more references. In the meantime, merry christmas, and hopefully we will chat soon, after new years. :) Tyawang (talk) 01:59, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
That's okay. Add lots and lots of Chinese language references!!! Those will work if no alternatives can be found. They can help get the article approved. Merry Christmas! :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:03, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Pink Friday: The Pinkprint

Seems like there was a good mix of vandalism and edits going on by anonymous editors, making it difficult to see who was doing legit edits and who was doing bad. I only semi-protected, but if you want I'll lift it.--SouthernNights (talk) 00:10, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I was puzzled by that too, but I didn't inspect it that well. Okay, I guess leave it protected and let them sort it out. I trust your judgement. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:12, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
I reset the semi-protection to only last 3 hours. Maybe that will chill out the vandalism but not stop the legit edits.--SouthernNights (talk) 00:22, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
Ha! It got blown out the airlock. :) It wasn't even clear to me at the time that it was about a future CD. By the look of the edits, I think there was an off-wiki group of idiotainment-loving kids who all knew about it being put together, and jumped in to cause some chaos. Part of the Lady Gaga set, I think. They should probably listen to some 60s music to see just how far downhill music has gone. They have nooooooooo idea.

List of Irish dishes

Hi Anna. Thank you for creating the list of Irish dishes. I see one puzzling entry where you described pastie as "A round, battered pieminced pie of pork, onion, potato and seasoning". Is that word "pieminced" a typographical error? I am familiar with mince pies, but have never heard the term "pieminced" and I suspect the description should be "A round, battered pie of minced pork, onion, potato and seasoning". — O'Dea (talk) 03:20, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi O'Dea. Just a typo I guess. Feel free to change it to whatever you think is best. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:04, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Anna. Any idea if Rough Guides/Lonely Planet are ok sources for cultural stuff? There's an amusing sentence re: Irish dishes in my copy, if and when I find it. - Sitush (talk) 00:55, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello, my friend. Long time. I'm not sure about those sources. I personally consider them pretty good boots-on-ground sources... better than armchair reporting, but Wikipedians might give you a hard time. I've never actually used them as sources myself. Just out of curiosity, does the Irish cooking source say: "Put vegetables in boiling water for several hours until they completely vanish." Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:59, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
Haha. No, it is the opening sentence of the "Health" section (where you usually see mentions of cholera, snake bites etc) - "Apart from cholesterol, Ireland poses no serious threats to health". - Sitush (talk) 13:04, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
Well, the "cholesterol" mention shows that it's in jest, plus the "serious" weasel word ruins credibility. I wouldn't take the source seriously. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:09, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, it was tongue-in-cheek. I am curious about the piemince thing and will do some digging about that. O'Dea is right re: the typo but I've never seen a battered one over there, despite frequenting many eateries. Btw, an unfailingly useful tip that I was given years ago when in Ballydehob: if you even want just a cup of tea and a snack then go to the shop that all the construction workers/road repairers etc are using - it will be cheap, tasty, filling ... and the entertainment will be free! Alas, since the Celtic Tiger went hoarse, there are nowadays less people wearing hi-vis fluorescent jackets to guide me. - Sitush (talk) 13:19, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Harbin Engineering University

Hey, I didn't copy paste from other websites. I just edited your version of 10:52, 10 December 2010 and re-arranged them. See history and you will find. I think, those websites copied from wikipedia and all those articles had been created after 2010. I also make admission section with my own words but they are removed. International student website URL and library URL are also removed. Please make sure, what should be deleted.

I am new but I want to edit wikipedia by maintaining all rules and regulations and I have not added unnecessary things yet. If I have done any mistake, that's not intentional. Hope you will help me. Omor Faruk Mashuk (talk)

Ah okay, you are right. I'm so sorry. I will have to get back to you soon. My ISP is blocking everything, including Wikipedia most of the time. It usually gets better after a day or two. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:59, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
The offending text was added by an IP in 2009, and I think it was a copyright violation ("copyvio"). It was added all at once, not quite in Wikipedia style, and with few mistakes. This is a sign of probable copyvio. When checking the different versions, I mistakenly thought you added it. But, when I removed it, along with the emails and phone numbers, you simply restored it without explanation or edit summary. It's important to discuss things so others know. I wrote to you a couple of times at your talk page, but you didn't reply. You just kept restoring the content.
Anyway, emails, faxes and phone numbers aren't things we keep in articles, just so you know. Again, sorry to accuse you of adding the text. I clicked the wrong "dot" when comparing the different versions, I guess.
Try to click the "History" tab, and you will see the edit summaries. If a user removes text with an edit summary "copyright violation", it's probably best to either not restore it, or start a discussion about why you are restoring it at the article talk page.
Again, welcome. I hope you're not put off. You uploaded those logos like a pro. :) I was impressed by that. If there's anything you ever need, just ask. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:28, 26 December 2012 (UTC)


In this edit, the "Research" and "Achievements" sections seem to be copy pasted from this page. Now, I've been a bit mixed up trying to figure all this out, so I'm probably mistaken again. Did you copy paste in this case, or am I confused again? :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:46, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Also, the "Library" section you added appears to be copy pasted from http://lib.hrbeu.edu.cn/web2009/new2004/en0/01.htm and I don't think it was in the article before. Please help me understand that too. Thanks, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:55, 26 December 2012 (UTC)


It's okay. Sorry to you too as I didn't reply. Actually I took the information from this page and reform some words and sentences as it's the official university website. Then I added "Achievement" section. We can not change the achievements, you know. So it is normal to be very similar with the official page. Please restore it if it doesn't go against Wikipedia "copyvio"

Secondly, the I made the "Admission" section with my own words and also give a proper reference. So I have restored it. I have taken texts from "Current Status" section and have added them in suitable section. The external links had been also removed. I have restored it. I also edit main section and "history", "academics", "campus" also with working website references. Only first reference doesn't work and that was given by other.

Thanks for the proper guidelines. Omor Faruk Mashuk (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:00, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Okay. Many parts of the "Achievements" and "Research" sections you added are identical. You really must rewrite them in your own words. Otherwise it's a copyright violation.
And what about the "Library" section? Again, that seems to be straight copy paste, even the way the lines wrap shows that it was copy pasted. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:09, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Okay I will rewrite those sections and add them within a few days. Omor Faruk Mashuk (talk) 18:17, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Whitetararaj (talk) 13:20, 27 December 2012 (SST)

No. I didn't. That website took it from the article I started. Is this revenge? Are you upset? Please don't be. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:26, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Please can I put it again, encyclopedia means to understand about the importance of the subject. So is there any mistake with me?Whitetararaj (talk) 13:32, 27 December 2012 (SST)

You really can't. You have to rewrite it in your own words. Please don't be upset. You must already know about copyright violations. They told you at Wikicommons. Also, when you edit a page, there is a huge notice. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:34, 27 December 2012 (UTC)


Please

Please Anna can you teach me how to know whether any user has copy paste? By User:Whitetararaj

Well, please just worry about whether or not you are copy pasting. You know when the content you add is identical, or nearly identical to the content you add to the article. Here's a good plan: Copy paste the source information to a notepad on your computer. Then, below it, make a bunch of ===============. Then below that, start new text based on the source above, but written entirely in your own words. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:39, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Bot edits

Hi, thanks for the welcome. I appreciate that you took the time to post a message to me, although it's confusing that the message says to post on your talk page, but your talk page says to post on mine. Anyway, is this usual that bots take over while you are creating an article, so you can't edit it?[6]? I figured out how to find my text, so I didn't lose anything, although I am not sure if I can add it now? I know I can write the article in my sandbox, then move it after that, but after reading at the Teahouse about how you have to delete your sandbox after moving an article and how long it takes to use the article creation. But I want to know will a bot be blocking my editing if I write an article that has interwikis links from other languages? Should I search for them and add them myself so I can keep editing the article without the bot interfering? --BarbBarbBarb (talk) 08:19, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Reply

Hello there.
I posted a welcome, so not really the start of a thread. Posting here at my talk is fine.
I think the bot just added an interwiki link while you were editing it, so you probably got an edit conflict. You needn't worry about that. It's very unlikely that a bot will do that again at the exact same time that you are editing an article. That said, if you are making an edit to an article or sandbox that will take more than a few minutes, it's probably best to work on your PC in an editing program like Word, or Notepad, and then paste in your update to the article. It's just safer that way.
About interwiki links, bots do that in their own sweet time. If they don't after a while, you can.
It looks like you may be creating articles in your sandbox that are very notable. If I were you, I'd avoid the whole Articles for Creation process. There's a backlog and it takes a long time. Best to work in your sandbox, then move the article to the mainspace, or simply work on your PC and then just create the article. That's easy to do. If someone moves your sandbox draft to Articles for Creation (AfC), or you have trouble, ask me and I'll fast track it for you.
You are allowed to create a number of sandboxes. (See my userpage for an example.) I like the elbow room. You may too.
Anything you need, just ask. Again, welcome, and I'm here if you need me. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:29, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
By the way, do you do gastropods? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:33, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. It is probably a good idea to just create on a text editor, first, while I was creating in the edit box. The bot was annoying, but I figured it out eventually. I like that question, "Do you do gastropods?" A little, but only pelagic snails. --BarbBarbBarb (talk) 16:04, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Splendid. I mentioned gastropods because I thought you might like to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Gastropods. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 16:23, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
For an article about a monospecific genus should the article be at the genus or the species? I thought I read it should be at the genus, but I cannot find this information again. Then the article I was writing was taken over by the bot (I see that was temporary) as I was writing it, and now the article has been moved to the species. --BarbBarbBarb (talk) 16:33, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
You could post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Animals or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life and ask. For gastropods, I think the most recent discussion arrives at: "We use the genus, unless that title's ambiguous. If the genus name is ambiguous (e.g. "Gregoria"), we use the binomen (e.g. Gregoria fenestrata), unless that is also ambiguous (rare, but it could happen)"
Anna Frodesiak (talk) 16:45, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, I got an answer at the Tree of Life place. I probably won't edit gastropod articles, but thanks for the invitation. --BarbBarbBarb (talk) 18:01, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

HELP

thanks for helping me. I've got one small doubt. My article Hardeep_Tauo_Toganwalia is an orphan article. How do I link it to sources. I've already linked a number of texts to wiki but I am unable to find the way to link the complete article.Amrik singh111 (talk) 07:08, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Hmmmm is he an alumnus from Khalsa College, Amritsar? If so, you could add him to the list there. Anna Frodesiak (talk)

Orphaned non-free media (File:James Gelfand.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:James Gelfand.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:07, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

File:Happy New Year 2013.jpg Have an enjoyable New Year!
Hello Anna: Thank you for all of your contributions to Wikipedia, and have a happy and enjoyable New Year! Cheers, Northamerica1000(talk) 14:55, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
I second that motion! I don't know what timezone you're in; maybe you've reached the new year already. Have fun. bobrayner (talk) 16:07, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
Thank you so much folks. Happy new year to you too! I slept through the new year. It's not really big here. Spring Festival is the thing in China: busy train stations (think tinned fish), red envelopes to all the children (with mothers seizing it all a week later to "put into the bank on their behalf"), freezing non-spring-like weather (What do you expect in February, which is not spring), men getting terribly hung over (the ganbei-till-you-drop sort of thing), and women returning to their jobs in March with enormously fat faces for two months. That's it in a nutshell. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:19, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

The Helping Hand Barnstar
For your various efforts, often above and beyond the call of duty, to help imprudent new editors to learn and grow and become good Wikipedians, you deserve better than this barnstar . . . but I hope it will suffice. Happy New Year! Rivertorch (talk) 22:13, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
Thank you so much Rivertorch! It's a splendid barnstar. I think it's worth the effort because it sometimes results in very productive editors. Cheers to you. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:19, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Junkbox

FYI - I undid your latest here because it was causing CSD tags to show on the admin dashboard. I think you have some conflicting div tags.  7  01:17, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that. I just edited the page again, but am not sure if I've made the problem return. Please let me know. Sorry for the disruption. I hope it didn't cause a server to go super-Kelvin. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:32, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Looks good.  7  09:52, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Dear Anna, I note you have made a cartload of red links to species in the article on Mucrospirifer. I would like to advocate against inviting the creation of species-level articles given the following consideration on WikiProject Palaeontology:
"Users sometimes wonder whether it is necessary to create a separate article for every species in a genus. In the case of monospecific genera, the usual guideline is to create a single article at the genus page. For example, an article exists at Wiwaxia and a redirect at Wiwaxia corrugata. In the case of genera that contain multiple species, a degree of common sense is necessary. Wikipedia:MERGE lists three reasons that it may be appropriate to combine the species into a single page:

  • There may be a substantial overlap in the content of the articles (for instance, if the species are found in the same locality and are morphologically and biologically very similar);
  • There may be very little text that can be written about individual species (if a species is very similar to others in its genus, a page may simply read "Orthoconus grandi is a species of Orthoconus whose shell is greater than 2 mm in height").
  • It may be necessary to have context from a broader article in order for readers to understand the species' context. For instance, the phylogenetic context of Halkieria requires lengthy explanation, so in this instance it is appropriate to have multiple genera in a single article.

If it is not appropriate to create a separate page for each species, species pages can be redirected to a genus page. If there is enough text to make it suitable, each species may have a separate section on the genus page; see Halkieria for an example. If a single species eventually generates enough content to warrant its own page, then this page can be created; but other species should only be split from the main article when their existence can be substantiated." Regards, Dwergenpaartje (talk) 12:29, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello Dwergenpaartje. Thank you. Lesson learned. I may have added such redlinks to other paleo articles. If I spot those, I will remove them. Thanks again for letting me know. :) Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:35, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Can you check if my article is pending review?

Seasons Greetings Anna, I was wondering if you can help me out a bit and see if my article is even under queue for review? I usually see a review pending box, but i'm not seeing it rite now. Thank you! Tyawang (talk) 02:20, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

It is not presently in the queue. But you last wrote to me here: User talk:Anna Frodesiak/archive33#Will you please check to see if the article i.27ve submitted is in queue.3F, when you said, at 01:59, 26 December 2012, that you would add more references. (I said Chinese language references are okay if nothing else can be found.)
You last edited the article at 07:41, 21 December 2012, so you haven't added more references. So, the problem remains, and the article is not likely to be approved until until more references are added. Please find and add those references before resubmitting it. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:29, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


Thank you Anna, I have added three additional references, all of which are major news websites in China: 163.com, qq.com, and sina.com. I have also reworded some paragraphs and added an additional section on BiMBA's Academic Program. Please see if this is enough references. Thank you for your consistent feedback and assistance in helping my article become better. I really appreciate all the effort you are putting into this. Cheers! Tyawang (talk) 03:01, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes! Those seem to be reliable sources. I've approved the article and added the logo: Beijing International MBA
Consider adding even more references. Seeing that China is very, very, very big, I am certain there are dozens more media references out there. So, challenged, we can add more. I have no doubt that it would survive an attempt to delete it.
About the name. BiMBA is an acronym, It is currently and maybe that's not best, but that may be what it's commonly known as. It's a business school or organization, so the current name isn't very accurate, as it is the name of a degree, right? It could be named Peking University School of International Business, but that conflicts with the acronym BiMBA. What do you think?
Anyway, well done, my friend. Good work on the article, and thanks for all your patience. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:48, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Oh, that reminds me, if you're there, could you take a few photos to add to the article? Maybe the front door, a few people maybe, some of the inside, that sort of thing. If so, you can upload them here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:55, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Thank you Anna! thank you for your patience as well. I agree the name isn't the best, however since the school decided to name it BiMBA, and it's been around so long already, it's going to be hard for people to connect it with a new name. I will forward your opinion with other people, and see if they are willing to do something about it. I will also upload some pictures for the website as well. I actually have a few pictures, but i was waiting for the article to be approved before adding them in. I will do that now. Again, thanks for all of your help! Cheers! Tyawang (talk) 04:20, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
You're very welcome. I'm glad it worked out. Let me know if you have trouble with the photos, and I will help. Best wishes. Stay warm. Happy new year. May your hongbaos be many and your jaozi delicious. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:58, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
hahaha thank you for your blessings Anna, I too hope my hongbao will be many! Hopefully you have friends and family that are willing to follow Chinese tradition and give you hongbaos as well! :) Regarding the article, I've shown it to my supervisor, and they were wondering if it's possible to change to the full name "Beijing International MBA (BiMBA) at Peking University", and add the word BiMBA to the disambiguation page, so searches to the word "bimba" will be redirected to the main article? Also, regarding the logo, we have a better quality picture for it, how should we replace the current logo with a better quality one? Thank you for your feedback. Tyawang (talk) 06:24, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Thank you. :) I don't know about the hongbaos, but I think I will be making some jiaozi.
I'm not sure about the name Beijing International MBA (BiMBA) at Peking University. We really should avoid the second acronym, and use the name that it's officially called, without any acronym. I see both Beijing International MBA (BiMBA) at Peking University and Beijing International MBA at Peking University used at http://en.bimba.edu.cn/article.asp?articleid=3580
I suggest Beijing International MBA at Peking University, but if you really want Beijing International MBA (BiMBA) at Peking University, then that's okay.
Either way, I will add the item to the disambiguation page as you ask, and also make redirects for all variants, such as:
  • Beijing International MBA
  • BiMBA
  • Beijing International MBA (BiMBA) at Peking University
  • Beijing International MBA at Peking University
  • BiMBA at Peking University
As for the logo, a higher resolution version carries the risk of it being copied and used by others. Is that okay? Do you care about the copyright status of the logo? If you're just looking for a sharper version for the article, and you have one, and it's no bigger than 400 pixels x less than 400 pixels, you can upload a newer version to replace the old one here: http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Beijing_International_MBA_-_logo_01.jpg&wpForReUpload=1
Oh, and you should probably not use a username that's the same as the organization. That's not really allowed.
Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:47, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Thank you. I agree with you regarding the name Beijing International MBA at Peking University, after a long, hard, and carefully worded discussion, the supervisor has agreed to use "Beijing International MBA at Peking University", if it's possible for a Wikipedia search of the word "BiMBA" to be directly forwarded to the main wiki particle page. Regarding the logo, I will upload a newer version and replace the old one using the link you provided for us. As for the username, BiMBAer was the original account created by the employee before me, during their original failed attempt to create a wikipage, I have since changed the name to the current one used by me. I don't know how I logged in as BiMBAer by mistake earlier, but have changed the old signed name with my current one. Thanks for all of your help!
P.S. Is it just me, or did you also have to carefully count out the amount of :'s to make sure the indentation is correct? :) Tyawang (talk) 09:54, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
I copy paste the colons and add one to indent further.
Juan Bimba competes with the name. There's no primary usage, so to steal the page Bimba and use it as a redirect to another name and then create Bimba (disambiguaton) and put the items in Bimba and then put a hatnote at the Beijing article would be way too much. It would be wrong to do that. The disambiguation page as it is now will have to do.
I will move the article to Beijing International MBA at Peking University as that appears at the website and seems to be a proper name that's used. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:58, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
It is truly an inspiration to see your indefatigable work helping out our newest users. You never give up and you've had to put up with way more than your fair share of ungrateful souls. I have no idea what drives you, but I can only bow my head to it. It is rare to see the level of dedication that you've shown and in one of the most thankless parts of the project too, and the project benefits a lot from having you as one of its most friendly and dedicated voices. Snowolf How can I help? 15:16, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
That is the sweetest, nicest barnstar ever!!! Thank you so much. I was having a bit of a crummy day because someone showed me a video clip of a horrid man who knocked a donkey off a cliff on purpose and it made me blub, and then I stepped on a centipede on the way to the loo. A bad day for animals. :( But this really cheered me up. You made my day miles better! Thank you. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 16:42, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

You Vandalized Me

This is your only warning. You don't just delete a post on a talk page because there was a "misplaced tag". The tag was not the only part of the post and the post was discussing the adding of the tag. Learn some manners. 184.145.118.96 (talk) 08:29, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't see your comment. I was going quickly and only saw the misplaced template, but not the comment at the bottom. Sorry about that. I wasn't trying to be rude. I was just unobservant. No hard feelings I hope. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:44, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
(talk page stalker): I think 184.145.118.96 needs to take a look in the mirror, before lecturing others about manners. -- MST☆R (Happy New Year!) 09:17, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
