NATASHA DUARTE

NOBODY IS SHOUTING I AM ACTUALLY TYPING THIS WITH A SMILEY FACE BUT MY COMPUTERS CAPITAL LOCK IS STUCK - SORRY FOR THAT. CAN YOU DELETE THE CONTENT OF THE LOG THEN PLEASE. CAN MY DAUGHTER DO A MUSICBIO? CAN I CHANGE THE PAGE NAME AND NOT CALL IT NATASHA DUARTE? THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE HER RECORD LABEL MAY PUT SOMETHING UP FOR NATASHA SOME OTHER WAY. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.184.21.250 (talk) 10:03, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

There are 12 criteria listed at WP:MUSICBIO, go through those and tell me exactly which ones you believe apply to your daughter. Regarding the logs, as I said, I cannot remove those as it is a special tool that only few people have access to. I will continue to look into it on your behalf. Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 10:06, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

SORRY I AM NOT SURE HOW ALL THIS WORKS SO I WILL JUST HOPE THAT YOUR ADMIN TEAM CAN DELETE THE PAGE IN ITS ENTIRETY AND I WILL LET MY DAUGHTER KNOW THAT I CANNOT CREATE A PAGE FOR HER. I DONT THINK ITS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE A WIKI PAGE ANYHOW. NO NEED TO CREATE A NEW USER ID AS NATASHADUARTE IS BLOCKED NOW AND I WON'TBE USING ANY OTHER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND HERES HOPING ALL CONTENT I ENTERED OR THE PAGE CAN BE DELETED. I WONT GET YOU THE INFBUT GOOGLE NATASHA DUARTE AND YOU WILL SEE ALL THE NEWSPAPERS, ETC. ALSO SHE WAS ON SONY'S DIVA 5 ALBUM. 124.184.21.250 (talk) 10:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, I have heard back from the Oversight team and they have declined to remove the deletion log. The Oversight facility is reserved for cases where the material in question containts libelous or personally-identifying information. Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 14:23, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello,

I would love to hear your opinion on this RfC request [[1]] cheers! Eng.Bandara (talk) 12:14, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

I've commented on the RfC Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 13:15, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

conduct dispute?

I'm just confused about the closure, but how was it conduct and not content? The conduct was there (illustrating some bad faith) but it was a content dispute - about page ownership and reverting content. No?--Львівське (говорити) 15:57, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Page ownership is a conduct issue. It seems like you are attempting to add content and simply being reverted and accused of "rmv nationalist trolling". Looks like someone is POV pushing and preparing to edit war. Besides, if the other user is refusing to discuss then there has been no previous discussion and DRN still isn't the right place. DRN is a voluntary place when both parties disagree on the content of an article, what you have is a conduct issue with the other editor. What I would do is try establish consensus for what you wish to add (make an RfC if necessary) and put it in if a consensus exists. If you are still being edit war'd you can take it further safe in the knowledge that you have consensus. Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 16:04, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification --Львівське (говорити) 16:07, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Folly Wildlife Rescue - Stub

Hi. I've been busy expanding the Folly Wildlife Rescue Trust article and wondered if it now qualifies to shake its stub status?  :) Thanks! Nunnsofunky (talk) 10:33, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I've removed the stub status as the article is now no longer a stub. I have a few concerns about the images. Are they all public domain/fair use appropriate? Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 10:39, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I'm no expert on image copyright, I'm afraid, but I did take all of the photographs myself. Is that what you mean? (Sorry - this is all new to me and I'm grateful for any advice!) Nunnsofunky (talk) 10:57, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi, if you've taken them yourself and retain the copyright on the images (i.e. you didn't take them on behalf of the Trust as they likely retain the copyright in that case) you should move the images over to Commons, the correct place for them to be hosted rather than here on en.wikipedia. Have a look here: Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. I can help with any questions but I am also not an expert on copyright Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 11:07, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
I basically took the photographs to put on the Folly Facebook page, so I'm not sure whether or not that qualifies as "taking them on behalf of the Trust" ...? I am a Trustee myself, so will have a word with some of the others. I doubt they'll really mind either way, to be honest!  :) Anyway - thanks for the advice. I think I may need to gen up on the rules and regulations! Nunnsofunky (talk) 11:16, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Since you are familiar with this article, I'm appealing to you. I am a random editor who has nothing to do with the organisation but I have been watching this since AFD, and tried to help source it a little. As of today, it has been deleted. Is there anything that you can do to help the page? I think that asking the editor to jump through so many bureaucratic hoops to have the page seen is pretty harsh. I even boldly tried to undo the deletion but it didn't work. How many pages of Wikipedia are devoted to Pokemon ect. yet this article which was heavily linked to others and had beautiful image contributions is denied?24.0.133.234 (talk) 00:11, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

I considered this however the COI dispute hasn't been touched in 6 days and the current ANI is essentially about the conduct of a user involved and not the content itself. If it devolves into conduct I will be closing it and directing everyone to the ANI or RfC/U areas. Until then, I'm willing to allow them to try focus on the issue at hand and thrash out a reasonable discussion Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 17:33, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Jose Antonio Vargas". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation.

I've placed a quick template on your userpage which has some links which you may find interesting. The best way to avoid advertising is to make sure you write facts as reported by third parties. I.e. you may know that it is the first online only retailer but can you find a reliable third party source that states the same? The most important things are to make sure the article can be verified with reliable sources and is notable. Also, if you are connected with the company take a quick swatch of our conflict of interest policy. If you're not sure you can write an article in your userspace and have someone review it before it gets moved over to article space. Help with how to do this is at articles for creation or, feel free to ask me and I'll do what I can to assist. P.S. if you type 4 tildes (~) after your posts you will leave a signature so people know who is talking :) Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 15:09, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

That article looks vastly similar to one I tagged under G11 a month or so ago (and was promptly deleted). Just thought I'd let you know. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:57, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, I tagged it as A7 because it really isn't notable and doesn't make any claims to be so. A G11 tag would probably be just as valid, I just happened to go A7. Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 09:16, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Removed Speedy Deletion

You added a speedy deletion tag to Adharana Charitable Trust. I removed this tag because this policy doesn't apply to educational institutions. I instead added the no context tag because the article doesn't provide sufficient context to gather an understanding on the topic.

As it was described as a charitable trust rather than an educational institution (which I don't believe it actually is) I applied the A7 tag. I think both tags are valid Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 15:27, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:ZVV logo no text.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:ZVV logo no text.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 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) 04:25, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Request for administering RfC

I have recently filed an RfC at the Talk:2012 Delhi gang rape case. I request you to please administer it and keep a watch over it. Thank you very much. TransVannian (talk) 08:09, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Cabe, I'd second that request. TV has structured the RfC to mention the victim's name prominently and repeatedly, which seems a violation of the DR/N resolution: that the name of the victim not be posted any more until we've come to a consensus on it. I attempted to remove the name of the victim pending further discussion, and was immediately reverted by TV. Your further input would be appreciated. -- Khazar2 (talk) 09:55, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi guys, I'm currently out and won't be back until later tonight (UK time) but I'll have a look then. In the meantime, TranVannian, I would suggest you leave the name off the article until the RfC has been concluded and assume good faith on the other parties that, should the RfC result in your favour, they will respect it. As such you should respect that it has not been resolved thus far. Cheers, Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 10:15, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to say this RfC went into meltdown pretty quickly. Your input on how it could be neutrally formulated would still be welcome, though. Thanks for your work at DR/N, btw, which I imagine is often pretty thankless. -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:03, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Postpartum vertigo

Hi Cabe6430, and thanks for patrolling new pages. :) I just wanted to say that normally we leave at least 10-15 minutes before tagging new pages with A1 or A3, as the initial poster may be intending to expand their submission. I worry that tagging things as soon as they are created, like you did at Postpartum vertigo, might drive away potential contributors.

No, it is content as well. He believes his version is correct, we believe our version is correct. That is where the dispute arises. The conduct related to that is, I agree, a matter for ANI, however I want to avoid going there if I can do so. GiantSnowman 08:29, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

What part of this is content related? The entire listing was about the conduct of another user. The conduct was related to content but the main issue remains conduct. Additionally, we require extensive discussion on the talk pages before a case is brought to DRN, something I did not see Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 08:38, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Edit: Appologies if this appears snappy. Reading it back it does seem a bit harsh. Personally I stand by my close in this case but I'd have no problem if you requested on the DRN talk page for another volunteer to review the case and consider a reopen Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 08:43, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
As I stated, he believes that his version of the article is correct, whereas myself and another user disagree. His poor conduct is a result of that, not the other way around. Extensive talk page discussion? He pretty much refuses to engage, and when he does it is hard to see what he is saying due to poor language skills - but look at User talk:Footwiks#List of FC Seoul players for more attempted resolution. I'll take this to ANI if I have to but I am trying to minimise the drama, not maximise it! GiantSnowman 08:47, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
If the user is refusing the engage in discussion then is there much chance he'll get involved with the DRN? DRN is a voluntary process and the volunteers have no power to impose sanctions, results or anything on the editors involved or the article. If someone refuses to engage with a DRN then their isn't really anything we can do. From the editors conduct I hightly doubt he'll engage. What I'd recommend is taking it to a relevant wikiproject first, get some more editors on your side and show you have a consensus. If he keeps reverting then he'll probably hit the 3RR. I've posted on the DRN talk page to have another voluteer take a look at the close Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 08:54, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Becasue DRN is a more formal environemnt than 3 editors at an article/talk page, and he is more likely to take the advice/guidance of an independent editor rather than me (who he views as "vandalising" 'his' article). If he refuses to engage with the DRN, then all the more evidence for an eventual ANI. If he does engage, then we can move forward. I've already taken it to a WikiProject (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 79#List of FC Seoul players) and received little-to-no assistance. GiantSnowman 09:01, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
I understand your concerns, it can be frustrating when that happens. As I said, I stand by my close but I have no problem if one of the other DRN volunteers reviews it, feels otherwise and decides to re-open it. Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 09:08, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Tristar

I really thank you for calling attention to the problems with the Tristar articles. When I checked them before deletion, I found that the content was entirely copied from their web site, and I have deleted them accordingly, including the similar contributions to other articles, including the principal one. That one should be rewritten, but for such extensive copyvio, it's better to remove it before starting. Even had they not been copyvio, I would have listed them for deletion as promotionalism--the two tend to go together. You might want to see what I said at User talk:Carisab

I suspect that similar problems are present in at least half the pages about similar organizations. For any extensive page about an organization written in formal style, I find it's worth checking.

I'm glad we got this batch. I checked the other HCA articles too--some contain some promotionalism which I'm removing, but none are as bad as these. DGG ( talk ) 19:13, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

@DGG: No problem. When I come across this kind of stuff I tend to check the contribs of the user to see if they have multiple like this. It never occurred to me to check if they were a copyvio also, good catch! Cabe6403 (Talk•Sign) 19:37, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Andhra_Pradesh_PCPIR

Typos

Ha! Thanks for the beer. One has to laugh when these things happen - especially when it's something that could happen to anyone simply by hitting one key fractionally before the other. Not sure Ms Karnagy would appreciate it as much though. Mabalu (talk) 09:07, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Indeed, it's rare that a typo produces something amusing but when it does you have to at least chuckle. I always make sure to check my speller and gramming Cabe6403(Talk•Sign) 09:09, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Does the age change on someone's Wiki page automatically on their birthday?

Hi Cabe,

I created a Wiki page for Mavis Amankwah. Her birthday is coming up in a few weeks. I was wondering if Wikipedia automatically changes the age on every birthday or if it waits for it to be officially changed by a Wiki editor or user.

Can you let me know please?

Thanks, Kamran Assadi 12:52, 14 August 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamranassadi (talk • contribs)

Hi there Kamranassadi, I see on the page you are using the {{birth date and age}} template so, yes, Wikipedia will automatically change the age on the birthday of the individual. If you click through to the template you'll be able to see the syntax to change how it works if you're interested but it appears to have been set up correctly in this case.
