DYK Policy Question

Can you weigh in on Template:Did you know nominations/Barry Stuppler? The reviewer would like a bit of assistance from a more experienced reviewer on a question that he/I raised. The information in question could easily be removed from the article; however, it is clearly an important award. I just don't have access to a reliable non-primary source to provide. Ryan Vesey Review me! 14:56, 16 June 2012 (UTC)


Your GA nomination of Sjumandjaja

The article Sjumandjaja you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Sjumandjaja for things which need to be addressed. Tea with toast (話) 01:03, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

is a clue - it is simply loading a series of arts in - unfortunately the whizzes who created it are long long gone, but I would say mimic that for say June - august 2012 - and its working again (i think) although the pesky rabbit might have a better handle on the fmt and coding issues...

Supposed "ownership" of Descent from Antiquity article

I saw your notice to me re ownership, which I note you chose not to notify me personally about. The fact that someone, who dislikes an article I have contributed to, claims that I have acted this way, apparently based on a dispute I had with a rather incoherent and persistent IP editor four years ago, or that I am the only editor to have actively monitored edits to this article over time, is no proof that I have actually acted this way. Next time you encounter an accusation like this, you should investigate it first, and give the accused a chance to have a say, if you intend to decide guilt and pass judgement.--Chris Bennett (talk) 05:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

My apologies for conspiring to lumber you yet again, but you are such a master of image reviews that I couldn't forbear. I hope you can find time to check this article, which I think is really outstanding. Tim riley (talk) 17:59, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Can I "third" this request. If you had the time and inclination, it would be hugely appreciated. I'll respond as promptly as possible to any concerns/issues you may have. KJP1 (talk) 19:03, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Surprised perhaps, but obviously not daunted! That is absolutely superb. I shall go through them this evening; at first glance, the issues raised seem to be ones with which I can cope. May I get back to you should that prove not to be the case?
As my own aside, I'm afraid I don't know the term "Ucucha's script". Could you clarify. With many thanks. KJP1 (talk) 05:07, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Dear Crisco 1492, firstly, can I apologise if I've caused offence by striking your comments. Having never done FAC, or GAC, before, I did ask if it was acceptable to strike another editor's comments and was told that it was. But I certainly didn't mean to upset or annoy you, so sorry. Your work on the article has been invaluable. I'm afraid I rather lost patience with the whole process last night and perhaps wasn't thinking as clearly as I should have been. Re. the article, I'll go back and review all of your comments again and try to address them. But I shall need help, as I am not a very competent editor. Can I come back to you? With the footnote errors to which you refer, would it be possible for you to highlight those that need attention? Thanks and apologies. KJP1 (talk) 07:04, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
  • I'll send a link to you for the script; it's really useful if you plan to use harv references. No big issue on the crossing out, just for future reference. Feel free to come back. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:08, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello there - the above character has been editing obliviously to all communications directed to him, regularly reinstating text that has been removed. He makes no attempt to communicate either on talk pages, or by addressing the concerns raised regarding his edits. I have provided him with a "final warning" regarding his latest Jakarta edit. His talk page and lack of any use of talk pages in his contribs paints a clear enough picture. Would you be kind enough to have a look at it? many thanks --Merbabu (talk) 06:23, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out. I suspect he didn't even know he was blocked. Ie, he only edits every few days, and there was no message on his page saying he was blocked. SO, he's at it again. Same edits, no edit summary, no discussion. He's made an attempt to communicate though through some feedback mechanism that I'm not familiar with. I suspect he is an young Indonesian kid with limited or no ability to use ENglish. --Merbabu (talk) 07:24, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks so very much. I was wondering if removing the "-03" would do it, but because I don't really understand the thing, I didn't do it. Too bad Alarbus isn't here anymore because I was on my way to understanding those error messages through his comments.

On another note, I apologize for bugging out on the featured content stuff. I've just been bummed out by wikipedia, especially all the WMF issues. And you seem to turn out those featured content things so easily, while I agonize! I'll try to return and help you out.

DoscoinDoon (talk · contribs)'s statement that the copyright issues had been resolved was wrong; they haven't.

Afd closure

Thank you Crisco for closing up the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Conn (judge) but it seems the redirects for this page were still not deleted. and the orginal page which was moved by the creator is still not deleted. please take a look at the David L. Conn Special:WhatLinksHere/David_Conn_(judge) and WhatLinksHere/David_L._Conn, regards --DBigXray 05:32, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

  • It seems that the article missed your watchful eyes. A possible explanation that I can think of is, All this happened because the Creator had moved the page David Conn (judge) few hours after AfD nomination. So what you deleted was only the redirect (and may be the old redirects pointing to the redirect), and the actual article remained undeleted. I placed CSD G6 and another admin took care of it--DBigXray 08:55, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Could you please explain ...

You recently closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Conn (judge) as delete. Your closing statement however, did not say which arguments you thought were policy compliant, or why you discounted those you thought weren`t relevant.

Could you offer an explanation now. No offense, but in my opinion, it is in the best interests of the project if closing administrators concluding comments always contained an explanation, when multiple arguments and counter-arguments were exchanged. Even if, for the sake of argument, the closing administrator was 100 percent sure every other administrator would agree with their closure, there are still the good faith contributors who argued the contrary position to consider.

No good faith contributor wants to innocently lapse from policy because they don`t know any better. But when a closing administrator doesn`t explain the reasoning behind their closure to the good faith contributors who held the contraty position, they leave them in the unenviable position of knowing that an administrator thinks they don`t understand a policy -- and they don`t know what the policy was, or how they misunderstood it. That good faith contributor is left in the unenviable position of knowing they were likely to take the same steps again.

If the closing administrator`s closure was correct, this is a big waste of time for the hapless good faith contributor, and for whoever ends up cleaning up after their subsequent, preventable, good faith mistakes.

Of course administrators are human, and will occasionally make good faith mistakes themselves. Obviously when an administrator makes a good faith mistake in a closure, and then doesn`t explain that closure, it complicates getting their good faith mistake addressed -- or even recognized as a mistake.

So, please, for these two reasons, could you explain your closure? Geo Swan (talk) 15:38, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

A bit longer of an answer, his military career does not include anything that shows he passes the GNG; no major commands, no revolutionary warfare tactics, and coverage seems fairly routine (in relation to cases). He fails POLITICIAN for his lack of a high enough seat; he wasn't elected, and the appellate court is not a major one. Regarding the court, based on the article it was more of a commission established for a single purpose, which was closed after three years. That does not compare to a Supreme Court, either national or state. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:24, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
  • I know Bearian made the assertion you mentioned above. But, he or she provided zero explanation as to why they made this assertion. I suggest his or her assertion is contrary to the specific wording of the guideline, and contrary to the closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amy Bechtold. I quoted Bearian`s comment, and explained why I disagreed with it. I believe Bearian may have outed him or herself as a lawyer, in real life. For several policy based reasons I think this should add zero extra credibility to his or her comments on legal issues.
With regard to your reference to GNG -- why do you think we have more narrow, specific notability guidelines, like WP:Notability (people) or WP:Notability (academic)? Don`t the more specific guidelines amend and supercede more general guidelines? WP:Notability (academic) specifically says:
This guideline is independent from the other subject specific notability guidelines, such as WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:AUTH etc.: it is possible for an academic not to be notable under the provisions of this guideline but to be notable in some other way under one of the other subject specific notability guidelines. Conversely, if an academic is notable under this guideline, his or her possible failure to meet other subject specific notability guidelines is irrelevant.
You wrote above:
He fails POLITICIAN for his lack of a high enough seat; he wasn't elected, and the appellate court is not a major one.
If you go back and check the wording of the first numbered point under WP:Notability (people)#Politicians you will see that it specifically includes judges -- so, no offense, your objection that he was not elected is not supported by the guidelines` wording.
Another respondent did make the comment that the USCMCR was not a “major appellate court”. As with Bearians unsupported opinion this opinion was also unsupported. I asked what they meant by “major”, and they chose not to respond. The specific wording of WP:Notability (people)#Politicians says nothing about only applying to judges of “major appellate court”. It says nothing about only applying to judges of “appellate court”. The specific wording says it applies to judges at the National or State or Provincial level. I went on and pointed out that WRT major, the USCMCR is authorized to review death sentence cases.
You wrote:
Regarding the court, based on United States Court of Military Commission Review it was more of a commission established for a single purpose, which was closed after three years. That does not compare to a Supreme Court, either national or state.
First, I am sorry your reading of the article made you think the court closed after three years. I did all the early work on that article and I certainly don`t remember writing that. The Obama administration plans to hold more Military Commissions, and the USCMCR remains active today.
One of the correspondents in the AFD asserted that the USCMCR wasn`t as important as a Supreme Court. But the specific wording, again, says nothing about only applying to judges at a Supreme Court.
A little background on the Military Commissions and USCMCR. Legal and human rights experts were extremely critical of the Bush administration for setting up the new and untried Military Commission system. They pointed out that the USA already HAD two justice systems -- a civilian justice system and the military court martial system. They questioned why the Bush administration would set up what was essentially a THIRD justice system. The SCOTUS is the highest civilian court in the USA. I don`t know if appeals in the USA`s military courts martial system can be appealed to the SCOTUS once appeals in the courts martial system are exhausted. But under the military commission system the USCMCR is not an appeals court, it was intended to be the only appeals court. So, by one way of reasoning, as the highest level of appeal in that system, it is a Supreme Court.
I am not unsympathetic to those who weighed in, in the AFD, who don`t like the clear specific meaning of the guideline. Nevertheless, I asked them if they didn`t think we should go with the specific wording of the policy, while they made arguments at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people) to get the wording changed.

Chrisye discography

hello,

this discography looks pretty good. I would remove "Poor" in the Sales column as it sounds like a POV commentary rather than a definite statement. If you can't find the approximate number of sales, then simply remove the "Poor". Also do not link same words every time, eg "CD"; just link on the first occasion. Audio cassette could be shortened to "CC" and vinyl record to "LP". Otherwise ready for FLC! :)--GoPTCN 09:11, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

my rampage

Hi,

I've just gone on a rampage regarding Non free use of excessive quotations. It's hard to believe that a long time editor doesn't understand copyvio. However, the editor that passed all those articles finally "gets it", so I feel much better, like I've gotten somewhere. i'm worn out! Hope you're doing ok - you always seem so calm and laid back! MathewTownsend (talk) 00:30, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

  • You'd be surprised... there have been admins blocked for copyvio. This user had almost 700 DYKs before being ultimately blocked for copyvio. For myself, I'd much rather do my own thing than get too emotionally involved. Old versions of The Shirelles, for example, were... terrible. So I fixed it.
And yes, if we're thinking of the same sets of articles those quotes are way too long. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:34, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ed Carfrey

Hello Crisco 1492. I noticed that you closed this AfD as a speedy keep because there were no "No" votes except the nominator. I realize the discussion was a bit messy, but I did cast a no vote, so speedy keep was probably inappropriate. In any case, it seems the concensus was to keep (although no one demonstrated GNG-compliance which is a shame). Best regards. Jogurney (talk) 12:58, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

  • Thanks for bringing that to my attention; yeah, it was buried in between the bickering heated debates. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:06, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
    • No worries. Thank you for updating the close. Jogurney (talk) 13:08, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
      • You're welcome. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:10, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
        • Also, given that other subjects that meet subject-specific guidelines have been deleted for not meeting GNG, a speedy keep is inappropriate here. I'd ask that you consider re-opening to let other editors weigh in, or at least turn the closing to an early keep (not speedy) - these things are not open/shut cases and speedy is inappropriate IMHO. The sources provided still do not meet GNG - they are all trivial mentions. We deleted Sandra Fluke (who has thousands of articles written about her)...--KarlB (talk) 13:27, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
          • She failed 1E, while this one passed its specific content guideline. You were already reminded about other articles having no consequence in AFD debates. It is pretty good reading. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:03, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
            • I realize that; my point is, that debate was not speedied, nor should this one have been. Henry Oxley is a similar case; played a few games, meets NSPORTS, but doesn't clearly meet GNG. There are dozens of other similar AfD discussions that have ended in different ways for sportspeople of dubious notability. If you read the talk page of NSPORTS, and the NSPORTS guideline itself, it is pretty clear that presumed notability can be challenged (and it is, regularly). Thus, I still feel this was an improper early close. If you still want to keep it closed, in any case it should not be listed as speedy, since GNG is far from being met. Thanks!--KarlB (talk) 15:07, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
              • Oxley should, rightfully, be closed as a keep within two days. If the only thing you ask for is a change of terminology on a page which will be read by, at most, one person a month starting a couple of weeks after the debate is closed, I'll change speedy to keep. If you think it should have been deleted and disagree with a closure of keep, please feel free to go to the review panel or wait for a period of time before nominating for deletion again (I'd suggest at least a month) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:15, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
                • Ok, thanks; no just removal of speedy is what I'm requesting here, although my preference would have been to allow the discussion to continue to allow non-sports editors to weigh in, but I'm not going to debate this endlessly. As it stood, consensus to keep was clear as an outcome, even if IMHO the WP:N states otherwise, but delete was the proper reading of consensus, so DRV is not appropriate.--KarlB (talk) 15:37, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Third relists

Hi Crisco, I noticed you relisted a few AFDs for a third time. Per WP:RELIST, third or further relists should be accompanied by "a short explanation... why [you] did not consider the debate sufficient." I hope you'll consider doing this in the future. There are some cases, especially those which have attracted no comments since the last relisting, where the debate has essentially ended, which may happen even with little participation.

"List of songs recorded"

Hi Cris. I'm working on a list based on your List of songs recorded by Chrisye, and thought I'd ask you a few things about it before I start working on the prose. The band in question, Faith No More, have released a live album, though all the live recordings on it are already present on other albums beforehand so they're included in the list anyway; would say to list them again as separate recordings or just treat the live material as being the same songs? I'm opting for the latter myself, though your list did pretty well so I figured your opinion would be worth getting. Thanks! GRAPPLE X 00:44, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

  • To be honest I just based mine off List of songs recorded by Rihanna. To answer your question, in the list I made I treated songs with new arrangements, which would have required a separate recording session, as separate songs (hence why "Pelangi" is on there twice). Chrisye had a habit of recording different songs with the same title, so there's quite a bit of repetition. Tl;dr: I'd say go for it, but be open to further input during FLC. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:12, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
    Fair enough, I'll add them in so that every album is covered. I can remove it again if deemed unnecessary. Thanks for your help. GRAPPLE X 02:05, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
    Not sure if you're much of an alt rock/experimental music fan but the finished list is here; if you have the time your opinion on the lead would be hugely welcome. I'm pretty happy about the table and the actual listings though so I think they're okay. And give me a ping when you've got Soegija ready for review, and I'll run through it when I get the chance. GRAPPLE X 01:26, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
    Looking quickly, I think that a bit more focus on the songs is necessary... any signature songs should be noted, some of their better-performing singles, etc. A lead focused on albums would be good for a discography. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:35, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

To improve your English on-Wiki, I'd suggest asking a person who copyedits why s/he made a change s/he did, to better learn the rules. Also, for on-Wiki at least, choose to stick with a specific English variant. Don't switch between American, British, and Australian English, as it will be fairly unprofessional. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:48, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for the late reply. I think it can be you, isn't it? You are a great editors who has some GAs and FAs here. And could you please explain more about the English variants. I don't know whether I Don't switch between them. Again, thank you for your advice--Morning Sunshine (talk) 11:12, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the article. It may takes me quite long time to read and learn from it. I'm on the way of searching for information to create articles. I think it's easier to translate an article in Vietnamese than make a brand new one. I'm going to start an article about Vietnamese poets. However, I am worried about the notability of them as they exists locally, not in any wiki--Morning Sunshine (talk) 10:02, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
  • You just need the sources. If you have Vietnamese-language sources it's okay, just like offline sources are okay. Chrisye has like 5 English sources... because all the quality information about him is in Indonesian. And many of the sources are offline, which is totally allowed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:09, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Bani Mustafa Article

I am the author of the article "Bani Mustafa", and I would like to make some points regarding the unfair deletion process of the article.

1. The deletion proposal was made by the user JohnRak as part of the dispute reagrding the contents of the article Jerash here. The relation between the two users is quiet obvious, as the user JohnRak admitted that he works with the user Historyfeelings in the real life as shown here. This made him if not socketpuppet a hired crowd.

2. The PROD deletion proposal overpassed the Articles for Deletion (AfD) process which is against Wikipedia policy as stated here

3. The PROD deletion proposal was made by the user JohnRak whose creation was dedicated solely for the deletion of the article Bani Mustafa as shown in the history of his contributions as the first contribution for the user was the deletion proposal. Please check here

4. The PROD deletion proposal was made while I was in the process of responding to the AfD. In my response to I depended on the information which I had on hand during that time, which I admit it was not complete.

5. The article was subject to a continuous vandalism since the beginning of the dispute between me and HistoryFeelings over the article Jerash, where the vandalism was made by anonymous IP addresses.

6. I can assure that all the information, which I have included in the article were genuine and authentic. However, most of the sources provided in the article are written in Arabic and are not available on the internet. These resources are available in Jordan and can be obtained from many public libraries, however as I am away now, I have no access to these sources as they are not available online.

7. An article which was written on the website of the Jordanian news agency "Almadenahnews" confirms that, please see the English translation of this article here.

Banimustafa (talk) 09:57, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

  • You may want to read COI, as you have created an article with the same title as your user name. I deleted after the AFD here, which was closed in accordance to consensus; the removed PROD had nothing to do with it. You can use non-English sources, although I suggest that you wait for someone else to write an article about you. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:06, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Re:Catholic bishop

Hm, I'm particularly knowledgeable on bishop-related terms. I've looked through and I don't see any glaring errors but I would suggest seeing if anyone at WikiProject Catholicism could check it over - there are almost 400 members on there, so one of them has got to know something. :) Toa Nidhiki05 14:55, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

Your Signposts without me have been excellent! (By the way, three articles that I reviewed for GA became FAs this week.)

You really have a gift for coming up with a theme. This week's images are beautiful!

I'm participating in the GA review drive, so I've been a bit distracted lately. But if you want help on the Signpost, don't hesitate to ask.

        • The problem is sometimes DYKs get lost up there between non-nightmares. :( I think I got two of those last night that have subsequently moved to the prep area. I don't mind non-nightmares but the nightmare ones are ZOMG. Scarey.
          Just got two short Olympic ones reviewed. We'll see how many Olympic related DYK hooks we end up with.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tate Snyder Kimsey Architects

Hi Crisco, you recently closed an AfD as 'keep' when there were two editors arguing for deletion and two against. Would you at least be able to qualify your decision? I was about to reply to MelanieN (who'd left a message on my Talk page) to suggest the debate be left open a bit longer to gauge the reaction to her re-write. The election scandal probably tips the subject towards notability but I wouldn't want this to set a precedent for every American architecure firm, with an international contract, being assumed as notable. All the best! Sionk (talk) 10:22, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

  • Note how the second one, you are counting as a delete, said "lean towards delete". It was not an out-and-out delete !vote. I admit that MelanieN's rewrite bolstered the Keep votes, as she had found sources which support notability. The version nominated for deletion would definitely have been relisted. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:39, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
    • In fact if you look at their change of mind, they say "I would have to say Delete for this one. As it is, it is not encyclopedic and doesn't meet notability guidelines". What I'm asking for is for you to explain your 'Keep' decision on the AfD (not on your Talk page). The discussion was by no means clear and it is normal for the closing admin to explain their decision in these circumstances. Sionk (talk) 11:06, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Cris

Perusing my watchlist this evening I happened upon this. I must admit I didn't recognize your sig and I apologize as I have not been keeping up with RfA for more than a year. I wanted to thank you for the protection and the revert on Global TV (Indonesia). I've had that article (and about a dozen others pertaining to Singaporean, Malay and Indonesian media) on my watchlist for well over a year. You may be aware that there has been a concerted effort to mar and/or bloat these articles for some time. In the beginning the edits were easily reverted and protection extended as the users were blatantly disruptive. More recently the edits have been more discrete; requiring some knowledge of the subject (knowledge that I lack) to revert. Outright disruption has been abandoned in favor of unsourced, chipping away at the basic content. I have not been alone in this task, but I would hope that you (as an admin familiar with the subject) can find time to help out in this regard. If you would find it helpful, I can point you to various discussions I've initiated in the past which outline the problem and contain a list of the articles at hand. I understand we all have time constraints and areas of particular interest; any help you can bring would be more than we had before. See ya 'round Tiderolls 01:18, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

I asked you about your closure on June 25. You gave a brief reply about an hour and a half later. I left a followup the next day -- which you seem to have chosen not to reply to.

I initiated Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2012 July 8#Amy Bechtold, which also applies to your closure of David Conn (judge).

The contributor who nominated these two articles has nominated another article I started about a military commission judge -- claiming your closures as a precedent. Geo Swan (talk) 01:33, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

The DRV was wrongly started by Geo Swan, following my recent comment on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ronald A. Gregory. I would simply tag this one as Badgering that was also done on my talk page today. --DBigXray 02:59, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
As to whether the advice of the essay Wikipedia:Walls of text applies -- your explanation of your closures was based on several serious misconceptions. We are all volunteers here. No one can force us to undertake a task. But, I suggest, the rest of us can legitimately be disappointed in other volunteers who begin tasks, and then fail to competently bring them to completion.
You repeated your serious misconceptions in your defense of your closure. I understand you considered the advice of Wikipedia:Walls of text. However, your repetition of misconceptions I had already corrected -- like that the USCMCR had been "disbanded" suggests you guessed wrong in choosing not to read my followup comment.
