Hi Graeme,

You deleted a page for Sydney Cordle before the last general election in May 2010. He is now the party leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance and I would like to create a new page for him!

Feedback and objections, please?

Talk

Dear Graeme, may we please get (will you help promote) a revision added to the diagram under "Production of Acetaldehyde" on the page of http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Mercury%28II%29_sulfate that includes the product of methyl mercury and/or all other side products? this will be highly helpfull to know what to expect from that reaction, having learned from the past, (ie: the digram shows the catalyst and acetaldehyde as resultants leaving out the methyl mercury found to be produced as a byproduct {molar by percent compared to expected non production will show how what the plant engineers in japan expected to what is actual, showing the experimental/applied and theoretical relations}). thank you ryan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.123.122.58 (talk) 12:38, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

69 You are going to have to give me a reference to base any side reactions on. A catalyst means that it is not consumed. But if say 0.1% turned into methyl mercury, it may still be a functional reaction. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:22, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Salt surface structures

Hi Graeme, I was wondering when the course related editing of articles such as salt surface structures would be completed, as I'm holding off from making any significant changes until then - thanks. Mikenorton (talk) 08:11, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

As soon as it is in article space it is a free for all. Students were asked to keep the work in sandboxes till last Friday. So you are welcome to start changing it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:35, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Graeme. I've raised concerns about possibly copyrighted images on the article talk page and on A.A.Hoffmann's own talk page as he probably hasn't seen the requests for more information on his commons talk page. Mikenorton (talk) 21:16, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

El Clasico

Hi Graeme. Requesting long term (ie. indefinite) protection of El Clasico article. Reason is simple; having an article of one of the fiercest and most contentious rivalries in world sport unprotected has led to the page being one of the most vandalised on this site, As a fan of neither team I have tried to maintain neutrality but have ended up reverting constant vandalism. I had assumed the page was locked permanently but alas it became unlocked and as usual had to revert more vandalism. Last weeks unofficial referendum in Catalonia that voted for independence is indicative of how contentious this rivalry is thus the repeated vandalism is par for the course in such an article.Carlos Rojas77 (talk) 21:53, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Protected one year. The best place to ask for this is at WP:RFPP. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:25, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Follow up on El Clasico

Graeme...issue on the article with an editor, Cid Campeador3, ignoring previous messages sent to him by other users on the issue of content disputes. He was told to request for comment on the dubious sources he continues to add into the article without gaining any consensus on talk. He hasn't asked for any assistance on the issue and ploughs on ahead. I'm neutral on this subject and have removed biased material from the two sets of fans; in this case, Cid Campeador3, a Madrid fan, is giving a Madrid slanted viewpoint on a contentious game (11-1 match in 1943). I'm doing my best to keep the article from being skewed toward either club, and have messaged him that he needs to follow the advice he was given by other editors to gain consensus on talk, go to arbcom if need be, rather than fragrantly ignore other editors and inserting his own viewpoint. Not just that but his English is weak, uses bare URL (and the same one several times over). I dont care what happened just that it is recorded accurately. Trying to maintain the quality of an article is not easy when someone repeatedly ignores standard practice. Your input would be welcomed.Carlos Rojas77 (talk) 02:53, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Binary compounds of hydrogen

Are you happy with the changes made to Binary compounds of hydrogen between 24 June 2014 and 5 December 2014? Biscuittin (talk) 17:05, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

How it is now, there is a lack of references. Some sentences are incomplete or misleading. Some substances mentioned are not binary compounds of hydrogen. There are some contradictions. But that is not the changes. When I check the changes they are mostly colour scheme(s). But I will check more. The colour scheme used in the first two periodic tables does not match, this just makes things less clear. What assessed or not-assessed is unexplained on the page. Also there is a lack of units for the enthalpies.

For the changes, which are mainly the intro to the molecular hydrides, there is an improvement, but still a lack of references. The monomeric hydrides have a wrong emphasis now on the most obscure and hard to make ones, whereas the common ones like methane, water and hydrogen chloride are not mentioned. Plasmic has not followed the requirement to include references. THough the material is not controversial, just seriously inbalanced. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:17, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Graeme

Hi Graeme, how are you doing? Wanted a clarification. Why did you remove content in this diff and later in fact the article itself as a copyright violation? The author has applied for the auto patrolled status and generally, he looks a brilliant author. Thanks (and good to see you around). Wifione ^Message 01:47, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Demiurge1000 had nominated it for speedy deletion as copyright infringement, then I thought that most of the article was good and that the copyright infringing text could be rewritten or chopped. But on checking further the rest of the text was also a copyright violation. The copied text was from http://books.google.ca/books?id=mCHPARZQ0KsC&pg=PA30&lpg=PA30 Industrial Microbiology: An Introduction By Michael J. Waites, Neil L. Morgan, John S. Rockey, Gary Higton. So I cut my effort to rewrite the lot to delete the whole thing. Since this was recent you should check other work if the user appears to be productive. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:32, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your briliant comment! Those deleted articles (including the one you deleted) wasn't my recently created articles. It was one of the articles I created at my earliest time on wikipedia when I was not in any way familiar with policies. There were about 4 or 5 of them then that was blatant word-for-word copyvio, and 3 were deleted at AfD on the basis of notability. In fact I even had a competency issues then at ANI and a very big thanks to User:DGG and others who saved me from being blocked then. Over the time I had grown to be a competent wikipedian, who have a core understanding of wikipedia policies with over 50 undeleted articles (not even with any maintenance tag). See them here in order of their creation and you will see that those deleted articles wasn't my recently created articles, over 50 undeleted articles was created thereafter. I had explained this to Wifione. Thanks! Wikicology (talk) 07:16, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

It does look as though a big improvement has happened in the last few months, so it is back to Wifione to conclude on autopatrolled. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:32, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Graeme, the article you deleted was created by Wikicology in September 2014. I've declined his auto patrolled request as of right now. Will advice Wikicology to wait at least six months before considering applying again. Wifione ^Message 07:37, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Please remove this page or at least my personal information

Hello Graeme, I was googling my legal name last night and the first result pops up with an unpublished article from a Japanese search engine. This article contained personal details of mine which the initial contributor did not seek permission from me to post. No wonder I can't get a job. As a fellow Australian, I would really appreciate it if you could permanently delete the sections which state my name and birthdate, or delete the page altogether. The initial contributor has not been active since 2012, doesn't seem like he's coming back anytime soon. The page is https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:LukeAnthonyBurger/Stylistics and my latest revision includes all the changes I would like to be permanent (removal of all my personal details). I look forward to your response, Merry Christmas! 01:40, 25 December 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by U3083960 (talk • contribs)

Merry Chrismas U3083960. I doubt that will affect your job prospects, but it has been removed from public view on Wikipedia now by using revison deletion on the text. You can also ask oversight to delete if you need further hiding on Wikipedia. Search engine caches may take a lot longer to update though. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:07, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

depreciated cite parameters

It looks like you are not aware that |coauthors= is depreciated in {{cite journal}}. I started removing them in Magnesium monohydride.

Some cs1 errors are visible, but other are not. If you add .citation-comment { display: inline !important; } to your vector.css file, all errors show up in their bright red glory.

Also, there is a PUA in the article... a unicode character that displays a box. It's in the citation with the title of "Subvalent Compounds Featuring Direct Metal-Metal Bonds". It was in between the two ZNs. I removed it, but I'm not sure what was supposed to be there. Bgwhite (talk) 08:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

I am using a Wikipedia standard gadget to add references, the "cite" button from the Wikipedia:RefToolbar. I suggest that you fix the built in scripts first! Because there will be more and more references being produced that way. People that decide to change the way a template works really need to fix everything that produces that template. That strange unicode character should look like a hyphen, but it appears it is from a "private use area". This can be fixed! Also I will add that style sheet element. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:24, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

The strange unicode would have come via https://tools.wmflabs.org/reftoolbar/lookup.php, but I don't know whether to blame that as it also has trouble with German umlauts as well. It could well be the data store behind DOI. The script putting out the coauthor is at MediaWiki:RefToolbarLegacy.js. I would appreciate if it just had an authors box and that I don't have to split up between author and coauthor any way. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:35, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

I didn't know you were using RefToolbar and I don't use it. So, I guess we are crossing wires in this case. The people who work on CS1 related templates are usually very good at informing others. RefToolbar was made aware of the depreciated parameters and was supposedly fixed. RefToolbarLegacy.js is no longer maintained.

As for the PUA, no need to worry about it. PUAs and invisible Unicode characters are added all the time, usually from copy/paste. The vast majority of the time, I know how to fix the PUA, but I was unsure in this case, thus my note. Bgwhite (talk) 22:45, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Sultan-ul-Faqr Monthly Magazine

Hi, I saw you declined speedy delete of Sultan-ul-Faqr Monthly Magazine. The article is part of a large promo effort by some Sultan-ul-Faqr Publications Regd., a group of socks creating and defending their promotional articles that fail any notability guidelines.

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sultan-ul-Faqr Publications Regd.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Faqr-e-Iqbal
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tehreek Dawat-e-Faqr
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sultan Bahoo: The Life and Teachings
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarwari Qadiri
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sultan-ul-Arifeen

For SPI, see here: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mrashid364.

Of note, Google does not return a single hit of "Sultan-ul-Faqr Monthly Magazine" apart from Wikipedia and the company's own Facebook/blog pages.

Declining speedy and forcing the article to go through XfD is an open invitation for more socks/SPAs, and will require others to spend time tracing and blocking them. This could have been avoided by speedy. Regards, kashmiri ^TALK 10:44, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

If the investigation results in a ban then we can speedy delete, or if it is too promotional then speedy delete can happen. But a large proportion of stuff here is written by someone with an interest in the subject, and if it is not too bad then a consensus can decide its outcome. Perhaps some of these AFDs could be combined if the topics are connected. Secondly if speedy delete happens there is nothing to stop another attempt to create a similar thing, but once AFD decides to delete it is very easy to delete again. So AFD is good for finality.

Graeme name

Hi, I was just trying to look up "Graeme" as a name, and I see your name around -- the only usage of Graeme I recall anywhere--and I figure you must be an expert! I see Graeme goes to a dab page Graham (disambiguation) which doesn't explain much. The dab wording is a bit confusing, implying at top that Graeme can be a given name, but below sort of seeming to imply that it is only a surname. I wonder if it could be added that it is a given name of some nationality or another, at the top? I am mildly curious. It came up for me because there is a Graeme name used by me in a reference at Le Courrier de Floride, where I am worried that I might have misunderstood something (are they the author or not?), but that person has surname Hamilton. Anyhow, cheers, have a nice day. --doncram 20:25, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

If you look at https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&from=Graeme%2F&namespace=2 you can see quite a few users, or lost of articles at https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Graeme&namespace=0.

Wilfred de Souza

Just curious as to why you deleted the PROD notice at the above article. The two references provided do nothing to establish notability.

I would ask that you go back and have a thorough look at the references cited and explain how they establish any notability whatsoever. Dan arndt (talk) 23:37, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

G. Flint Taylor

Another editor asked about the neutrality tag that you applied to G. Flint Taylor three months ago. Can you please go to the talk page, Talk: G. Flint Taylor, and explain what your neutrality concerns are? Robert McClenon (talk) 21:48, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Graeme - I'm the author of the article on G. Flint Taylor and am reaching out again to see if we can please resolve the concern you raised about NPOV. If you go to the talk page, another reader has weighed in. I'm not opposed to revising the article to address specific problems, but also don't think it is fair for this tag to linger indefinitely.

Is there an adjustment necessary?

Hi, and thank you again for adding my user name to the AWB CheckPage. Hopefully you can help me, as I've had problems logging in from the AWB program. Per this discussion, another editor says that there is some character in my entry that causes AWB to not recognize my name when I try to log in. Is there any way you can get me on my way? – Paine Ellsworth^CLIMAX! 21:49, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm requesting a 72 hr block to help enforce a Wikibreak.

Restoring deleted article?

Hello Graham -- Vrac advised me to ask whether you could restore this article to my user space:

I didn't see the note about its having no references until long after it had been deleted (it was a translation of the article on the Spanish Wiki and I didn't realize it needed references). Thanks. MagistraMundi (talk) 10:31, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Protect Existing Article?

Graeme,

Thank you for publishing my article. Unfortunately there are some wikipedia users trying to have it deleted, as I notice they deleted another article I had contributed a good deal to with the band of musicians, artists and developers, of which Jacob Alexander Figueroa / Zander is a key contributing member. There was an article previously on the band, which I'm not sure if you were able to view before it was taken down, but it had several independent and verifiable sources yet it was taken down for having a lack thereof. It seems the same situation is now happening with the article Jacob Alexander Figueroa. As you are well aware, since you published the article initially, this article does in fact have international press and independent, verifiable sources, such as NY Arts Magazine, MPR News, and the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival. I was wondering if you would be able to provide neutrality and mediation in this matter and protect the article from being removed? It seems that it is now to the point of editing for improvements, but not to be dismissed by way of deletion. Thank you for your time and help! WeAreAllStars (talk) 08:13, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

AE

Please read my post just above yours. Andy (PotW) is restricted from adding or removing infoboxes from articles (because some article owners don't like them). Suggesting to generally replace a template by a better one, or to merge two, has nothing to do with it. Unless the present restriction is changed (something some people want), we have to go by it, not by wishes for a future one. I wrote this three times today, it's tiring. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:55, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

I have removed my comment, as I am not involved with this. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:12, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Seen, thank you, - wish others were as decent, - those who don't know the background dominate the foreground, unfortunately ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:30, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Infoboxes

You have posted a comment saying "Pigsonthewing is banned from infobox work". That is false. Please remove or strike it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:01, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

The text includes "discussing the addition or removal of, infoboxes" which I generalised to "work". I will ammend my reason. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:04, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

(watching) no, it is not "work", it's about individual articles, - there have been several "clarifications" of it, archived on the case page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:08, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

• looking again: please read what you quoted, "discussing the addition OR removal of, infoboxes", OR highlighted, because that is the crucial point, Yes or No to a specific infobox, - a merge or replacement is "removal AND addition" and doesn't fall under the present restriction. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:13, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
• supported by an arb, one example of many possible, "there has been so much subsequent discussion about it that the intent to restrict it to articles is abundantly clear." - wish it were so clear, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:19, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

• Yes, I am pretty sure that it is talking about articles. I think the issue really is add or remove vs (add and remove) that you might be disagreeing with my interpretation. The comment you point me to considers that the template discussion is out of scope. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:35, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Not sure that I understand completely but quite willing to learn. Do you mean that template discussion is not under the scope of the restriction? Then we agree. - I participate in one of them. I wanted to use {{infobox hymn}} and found that it is very limited in parameters. Therefore I looked around what else to use and found {{infobox musical composition}}. You can compare in the same article because there was a little edit war: Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her vs. the same with "hymn" (try to find it, - we have to deal with a user who doesn't believe an image should be in an infobox because a certain pdf-writer doesn't print an image from the infobox, but that's a different story). Consensus was for "composition". When I mentioned the problems of "hymn" to Andy he researched and made the formal request, still found on top of the pages. If you look at the discussion: some users seem to believe the article would no longer be in category hymn if the infobox name was "musical composition" (or - as I later suggested - "composition"). However: our readers don't see that difference, only editors. I fail to understand the amount of resistance. The template documentation has an example "hymn" that can be copied, if there is fear of wading through too many parameters. - Now I compare, my style of simply using "composition", and Andy's open official way, inviting discussion from everybody involved. I couldn't take what he has to take, day by day. Back to simply using "composition". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:26, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

SafetyNet

Could indulge me by elaborating upon or double checking this CSD decline? It's a tag that I've noticed is handled inconsistently, which is to be expected to some extent because it requires interpretation of what "unambiguous advertising or promotion" means as it applies to a variety of cases, but this one strikes me as a particularly clear example. The entire article comprises a short definition of what kind of software it is, a website link, a line of platforms it's compatible with, and then a comparatively long list of "features". That the features list appear to be copied directly from the developer's website seems to support their promotional nature -- not necessarily in the sense of commercial advertising, of course, but in the sense that its only purpose a "feature" list serves is to promote rather than to give an encyclopedic treatment. I didn't notice it was a copy/paste job when I tagged it initially, but still don't think it requires copyvio grounds to qualify for csd. To me, if it looks like a spec sheet or marketing brochure that would be just as at home on the developer's website, it's likely it qualifies for G11. That itself is an oversimplification since there's still subjectivity involved, but that's why I'm curious how other people interpret it. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 06:53, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

A definition, and a list of features could easily be in an encyclopedic article. I would delete if the article was entirely promotional language, or full of hype. Theis often happens when it is written by PR people. But in this case there are encyclopedic contents. The tone is advertisement, but it can be edited to remove the tone (eg get rid of "your"). Speedy delete should only apply if there is nothing at all that could be saved if we deleted each promotional sentence. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:53, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

To me it seems at odds with NOT/NPOV for a bulletpointed list of software features (an unsourced list which it turns out was copied from the company website) combined with a very brief definition (that doesn't make any claim to notability), to be considered non-promotional and/or an acceptable encyclopedia article (regardless of COPYVIO issues). That said, I don't really want to argue with you on this; I just disagree with the call and am feeling a little frustrated that G11 seems like kind of a crapshoot depending on who sees the tag. On the other end of the spectrum I've seen long, multi-section, multi-sourced articles deleted for G11 as well. Ultimately I'd just be happier if it were more consistent one way or the other so I know which road to take. (FYI I've nominated this one for deletion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SafetyNet). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 02:22, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Well if you see long articles get deleted for G11 that should not have done, I am quite willing to give them a review, restore, and cleanup if needed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:44, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

It cannot be created by banned people.

But if people are paid to make the article then it is a bad idea, and it will probably be unsuitable. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:35, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Sir, I have found various media links online that proves the existence of this company.

  • Draft:Poole People (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I do not understand why the sources that I have quoted are considered unreliable. The source used for evidence of electoral results was the Borough of Poole. The Borough of Poole is the local authority to which Poole People councillors are elected, and its employees the Returning Officer who is responsible for the administration of local elections. The only other source quoted was the Daily Echo which is the long established local paper in this area. Having read the guidelines for reliable sources, newspapers of this nature should be acceptable where they are setting out facts.

  • Draft:Daniel Weitzner (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

JAHendler (talk) 23:28, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

I am having trouble figuring out what needs to be done to have Daniel Weitzner added to wikipedia. The page I created originally was based on his bio at his MIT web page (https://www.csail.mit.edu/user/1283) which, although it has a cc-0 tag was autodeleted. So I created a new page with none of the same wording as that to avoid the autodelete. The notability, however, seems to be being questioned as I am citing the notable things he has done (like created the White House's privacy policy) and the like. I realize I should include his awards and such - but when I included the following paragraph (from his page) or anything like it, it gets autodeleted (again, despite being public domain).

(quoted from MIT page) Weitzner is a founder of the Center for Democracy and Technology, led the World Wide Wed Consortium’s public policy activities, and was Deputy Policy Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. In 2012 he was named to the Newsweek/Daily Beast Digital Power Index as a top ‘Navigator’ of global Internet public policy and in 2013 he received the International Association of Privacy Professional’s Leadership Award. (end quote)

note that the above does indeed include major awards, his role as the head of Internet policy for the Obama administration would seem to qualify as notable by itself, even without these, and he is constantly being quoted in the news and such (for example a Google news search today on "Daniel Weitzner" finds about 50 articles).

I've been a wikipedia entry for a long time, and I'd certainly say Danny is better known than I am, especially after his White House stint - so it seems to me he fits the Golden rule, meets the notability rule for academics, and that the problem is that I'm just not a very good wikipedia author. So I'm seeking more specific advice about what I might do... I've been a fan of his for many years, have coauthored articles with him in major publications, and feel that his omission from Wikipedia is ironic, given he is one of the people who helped create the very policies on which the web was created as open and free (he headed the World Wide Web Consortium's Technology and Society Domain and was instrumental in the ruling against Eolas in a patent-case that literally could have shut down wikipedia, among many other pages, due to its cost - http://www.w3.org/2003/10/27-rogan.html)

I could go on (he's keynoted Usenix, appeared on dozens of panels with Berners-Lee and other clear notables

I'm happy to put some of the above in more formal form into the article if it would make a difference, the problem is since I'm clearly missing why he isn't notable, it's hard to know what of the above might change your mind.

thanks much for any advice you could give

---

thanks for your reply, I just don't know what a reference "about" someone is in this sort of case? For example, would http://gov20.govfresh.com/daniel-weitzner-is-the-new-white-house-deputy-cto-for-internet-policy/ count? I realize I'm being obtuse, but I guess I'm not sure what is being looked for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JAHendler (talk • contribs) 23:54, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Inappropriate article title

In every instance I've ever seen of someone moving a newbie's article into the user space, where the title was in some obvious way inappropriate, the person moving the article left the obviously inappropriate title intact. You continue that perfect record with this edit, where you left "Kirkwood-Buff" (with a hyphen) intact instead of changing it to "Kirkwood–Buff" (with an en-dash). Why do people who do this never look at the title? Michael Hardy (talk) 17:43, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

I consider there is no difference between hyphen, n-dash and minus symbols. It is only a minor decorative improvement to change it. But if someone else changes those I won't change it back. So I won't consider the proposed title inappropriate. Particularly since I have only "-" on a keyboard that is what you get. In addition a typable title must be available as a redirect.

Question Regarding Former Article That Was Up

There was a wikipedia page on the Band Famous that was approved back in December 2014 and it was almost up for good. I was one of at least a few Wikipedia users trying to help improve the article but some of the people that were trying to take down the Jacob Alexander Figueroa article successfully had the Band Famous wikipedia page deleted after a short discussion. I was curious if that article could be undeleted now that Jacob Alexander Figueroa is up for good and all the citations are good, that the article could then link to the Band Famous page, as he is an active member, and that would help serve to have the article stay up for improvements? I think the article just needed to be cited properly with the authors, publications, radio... The Band Famous wikipedia page didn't have the proper format in the citations, which harmed the article. I would be happy (if the article were put back up) to fix the citations so that everything is properly formatted. Maybe you or another administrator / editor who has the power to do so could take another look at the Band Famous Wikipedia page and perhaps it can be undeleted so that further improvements can be made? I would be happy to hear your input! Thank you for any guidance or insight with this matter, WeAreAllStars (talk) 21:20, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

~~Thank you for the redirect from "Band Famous" to Jacob Alexander Figueroa. Is the article for "Band Famous" able to go back up? There is more press on the band that needs to be properly formatted in the citations of the Band Famous wikipedia page... Or do you propose these articles be added as citations under Jacob Alexander Figueroa? Specifically I'm wondering if you or anyone you know would consider an undeletion of the "Band Famous" page so that editors like myself can improve upon it. ~~ WeAreAllStars (talk) 22:17, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

"Prod bomber" on Curtin Student Guild

Would you rather substantiate or retract your accusation that I am "a prod bomber who is part of a vandalism team"? And did you have a directly relevant rationale for removing the PROD tag or did you just reflexively remove it as part of some mission that you're on? —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:29, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

And can I remind you of WP:NPA and that you shouldn't use edit summaries in this way, Graeme? If you think you have a valid case to call Largo Plazo part of a vandalism team, then go to ANI. I also would like you to explain your accusation. Dougweller (talk) 15:48, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Doug, I was not personally calling Largoplazo anything. Largoplazo's edit was removed with that edit summary because I removed it with the edits of four other users who were working as a team adding many prods and then confirming them is a disruptive way. I should not have removed his edit with that edit summary, but what happened was that 1 edit looked to be part of the same disruptive editing pattern of the other tag bombers. However Largoplazo's edit history later proved to me that there was no problem with disruptive editing. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:16, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

F1 financial Crisis

I thank you for accepting the draft article through the AFC, but I'm confused as to why you moved it back. You mentioned the AFD that the article went through, and although there were problems in the article that was previously deleted, the issues have since been resolved. For instance, there are reliable sources which properly cite the crisis of Formula One. There is no original research because the article mentions only sources that the news sources have done. Of course, I can't copy straight from the articles, so I had to paraphrase them so that I can properly site the article. Besides, it had to look like an article and not a news report.

Another issue raised was that the crisis isn't a crisis, but something else. The original title of the article was 2014-15 F1 Financial Crisis, but editors noticed that the topic had to be time specific. So I removed the "2014-15" bit from the title. Still, I'm not sure if "crisis" is an appropriate word. What do you think would be an appropriate title for this article? Please let me know what you think. Once again, thanks for accepting my article through the AFC. FordDixon (talk) 15:00, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Rash move?

I don't know what the conventional standards are for moving pages from the draft space to the article space, but I have qualms about your move of Eternal dominating set on 8 March. The mathematical notation looked as if it was copied and pasted when copying and pasting non-standard formatting or characters had the effect of changing their appearance and making them illegible or at least far below usual standards. Thus we saw this line:

γ(G) ≤ m-γ∞(G) ≤ α(G)≤ γ∞(G) ≤ θ(G)

which I have changed to this:

γ(G) ≤ m − γ_∞(G) ≤ α(G) ≤ γ_∞(G) ≤ θ(G)

and this line:

γ∞(G ◻ H) ≥ γ∞(G) γ∞(H)

which I have changed to this:

$\gamma _{\infty }(G\,\Box \,H)\geq \gamma _{\infty }(G)\gamma _{\infty }(H)\,$

This second one was completely illegible. In the first, the subscripts did not appear as subscripts, the minus sign looked like a hyphen and lacked proper spacing, binary operators lacked spacing in some instances, and things that should be italicized were not.

You could have posted a link to the draft at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics. Many people read that page frequently, and some could have cleaned up the artricle. Michael Hardy (talk) 20:49, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the cleanup. I will notify Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics for mathematics drafts, so that the experts can assist. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:59, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Grounds for Coffee article was denied - help needed now

Hi Graeme and thank you for reviewing the Draft:Grounds for Coffee article. I haven't submitted drafts before so newbie here. I want to make sure though that it doesn't get deleted so that I can keep working on it and hopefully submit it again in the future. Is it good where it's at now, or do I need to move it to my userspace/sandbox? Also, are you able to in any way quantify how many more articles it would need to reference before it will become notable? Three more? Five more? I was going along the same lines of those articles which are within List of coffeehouse chains specifically if you took a quick look at Caffe Luxxe or Caffè Umbria they have very little notability, but still passed the test somehow and didn't get the speedy deletion. Your help in explaining to me the difference between those and this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Zul32 (talk) 13:18, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi again Graeme... I read your comment on my talk page, and yes I believe that there been newspaper or magazine articles on the chain, but I have to contact the owner of the chain directly because they have probably archived it for their own records. Once I have those references then I'll be able to update the article! Thanks for letting me know that I need two good leads on this. Oh and you didn't answer the question of it staying there so it won't get deleted.... is that OK? Zul32 (talk) 20:56, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:ESGI – European Sequencing and Genotyping Infrastructure (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Dear Graeme,

thanks for reviewing my Wikipedia article on the ESGI consortium. I am new here but very excited to contribute. Currently I am working my way through the different steps.

To improve this article, I was planning the following steps and I wanted to check with you beforehand whether this would be appropriate.

For one, I would add a reference link for the project to the corresponding website of the European Commission, which I would assume is a reliable source. This link is currently listed as an “External Link” (ESGI on CORDIS) but I would move it to the “Reference” section by including it right after the first paragraph (“…started its operation on 1. February 2011.”).

Furthermore, I do understand your comment that the ESGI project is not mentioned in the title or abstract of the referenced articles. The work that went into those articles was funded through the ESGI consortium and therefore, ESGI is acknowledged in those publications in their respective “Acknowledgement” sections. Unfortunately, the publications listed are not open-access and thus it is hard for an outsider to confirm this.

My idea here would be, for one, to include another sentence at the end of the current article:

“The efforts of the involved scientists led to several peer-reviewed publications, all of which acknowledge the funding through the ESGI consortium.” (or something like this)

Here, I would then reference the articles already there (as those are high-impact publications) but would also include additional open-access articles that can be checked for the mentioned acknowledgement.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks so much!

Andre

Graeme, Many thanks for accepting my article on Herbert Durham.

I see you are Australian and you may be interested in two other pages I created while doing my research. I am British and live in the UK and while researching one of my ancestors I found a portraitin his photograph album taken by photographers 'Johnstone, O'Shannessy and Co' in Melbourne. I created a page on the photographers Johnstone, O'Shannessy and Co, and also one on the individual Henry James Johnstone

In doing so, I found the Wikipedia page on Clement Hodgkinson very interesting. I have visited Australia many times but was unaware of his activities.

Aware IM

Hello Graeme,

Thank you for reviewing my article about Aware IM.

This article is about a software system that has been around for more than 12 years and is used by people in more than 30 countries around the world. Not only that, but they also formed a development community that maintains its own resources to help others learn and use Aware IM.

The review comment says "references are either connected with the authors of the software, or are passing mentions". I can assure you that all the references I included into the article (except for one that is clearly marked as such) are from genuine independent Aware IM developers. They are either from people describing their own experience working with Aware IM, or their actual applications built with Aware IM, or both. They are not passing mentions. What can I do to prove the credibility of the references?

Surely Aware IM deserves no less attention than similar tools such as Filemaker, Alpha Five (database) or AppFlower, each of which has its own Wikipedia page even though their history and widespread are apparently different.

Sincerely yours, Pen93 (talk) 23:09, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Graeme - appreciate your feedback and pointers. I will prepare a draft page referring to coverage by reputed newspapers and other institutions to prove notability. It can be on sandbox and then with approval from veterans like yourself can move to main site. It will take 2 weeks for me to put together inputs from independent sources. Thanks very much.

I just wanted to point out that this person's userpage was twice speedy deleted with those grounds before(as well as regular articles with that content, deleted several times). The person seems to have no interest in contributing to Wikipedia other than to advertise themselves or treating Wikipedia like social media. 331dot (talk) 10:09, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

I did not make the rules for U5, but I read it especially for this (non)delete. You might have more luck with db-spam, or an MFD to get a final decision. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:14, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Not suggesting you made the rules, just that others had a different interpretation. I see that resumes are not included in U5, though the page seemed to go beyond a resume to advertising themselves(or at least their presence on social media). Just a different opinion, no big deal- though could you not have simply used a more proper rationale to delete it yourself? (maybe you can't, I'm not sure). 331dot (talk) 10:20, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

It was not so bad that I would have deleted it as an advert, but close. I did delete another u5 this way in the last hour. But if you tag it that way I will leave it for someone else to consider. Our userpages can advertise us and our outside world to some extent. So there is a grey area. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:24, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Someone else seems to have just blanked the page for now citing WP:UPNO as a reason so it probably doesn't need to be worried about unless the person restores the content. Thank you for your comments 331dot (talk) 10:27, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_History_Troupe

I'm a bit concerned that the outcome of the above case is something that you should maybe take on board. It is important to really get familiar with the guidelines on notability if you are reviewing new articles. I don't think that article should ever have been accepted. --_nonsense ferret 01:46, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

You are taking this too seriously. The writer had a chance to comment, but did not do so. But I do not know if you informed them about the AFD. A certain percentage of AFCs will be nominated for deletion by people like you and get deleted. But a fair number also survive AFD. The alternative if you think non acceptance is better than deletion after it has been accepted is to propose returning to a draft state. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:14, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

My comment is not intended to cause you offence, I know you do a lot of great work here, I'm simply raising a concern. Your view that this had any chance of being deemed notable seemed to me so far out of step the practices at AfD discussions as to make me raise an eyebrow. Let's be clear, it wasn't a close call or 50/50 chance of success. --_nonsense ferret 12:10, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

An old thesis is reliable?

Why on earth add so much (or any really) info from an old PhD thesis that was not even vetted by publication? It doesnt even count as a primary ref? Can you imagine if we started transferring information from PhD and MS theses into Wikipedia? --Smokefoot (talk) 22:17, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

I am using this as a secondary source, including only what it reports from other sources. I am not adding any more of the research in this thesis. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:24, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Well in any case, the article is pretty self-respecting now. --Smokefoot (talk) 01:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi Graeme Bartlett, as you told me I've tried to contact Shirt58 in order to understand which were the part to modify. I had no answers. Now, can i ask you if i can do some modification to the main article you moved as a draft in order to be reintroduced as an article? Let me know, so I can procede to edit on the draft. Thank you for your time! I look forward to hearing from you --RedBud (talk) 07:34, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Australian Federal Police

I'm watching Australian Federal Police because an LTA has used it for various campaigns, so I noticed the strange IP edit summary that you have now removed. Special:Contributions/202.61.5.22 shows that he's been doing that for a few months, and Google shows he spams it elsewhere. However, the few edits I checked were quite reasonable, so I left it. However, you might want to let him know that an edit summary like that is not suitable here. If wanted, I'll post a message, if I can follow up with you if I notice it repeated. Johnuniq (talk) 09:22, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

You are more observant than me. I saw the text spammed over other places on the internet. I will issue a notice about edit summaries. Is there an edit summary search tool that can look across all edits? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:35, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

This tool searches for text in edit summaries, but only for one user. I doubt there are any tools which search edit summaries for all users, so a search of a database dump would be needed—overkill. Johnuniq (talk) 11:44, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

I need the overkill option! I suppose it could have been on the toolserver if that was still live. Our user here has a small enough number of edits to see them all easily. But if another IP was used it would be obscure. Even though the IP was previously warned, I think it a bit excessive to block at this point. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:21, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

I was not thinking clearly when I wrote my last comment—the most commonly used database dumps are a snapshot of current pages only, and they do not contain history or edit summaries. A dump including edit summaries would be massively large, and searching it would require a server-level computer. It's possible to do a full-text search of articles because a large index has been built to support such searches. However, there is no index of edit summaries, so a search would require examining every edit by every user, checking the edit summary, and accumulating the results—an operation that would probably take several days on a big computer. There is a tool for searching the database, but quite a lot of SQL knowledge and an understanding of the database organization would be needed. Also, I suspect they must have some method of monitoring long-runnning queries, and the run would be stopped somehow. In short, I don't know how to search edit summaries, but someone at WP:VPT would know if it is feasible. Johnuniq (talk) 01:06, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

My need is not significant however, it would be mainly to find more spammers and socks and their earlier work after they were discovered. Afterwards an edit filter can notice. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:57, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

No reply for RedBud - for AdvaCare Draft modifications

Hi Graeme Bartlett, We still haven't heard back from you with regards to my AdvaCare page. I last wrote to you on the 11th asking if the changes were okay. Could you please let me know asap so we can move forward with it. Thank you! --RedBud (talk) 01:29, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

I did reply on 4 May saying this: Some wording still gives it a promotional sounding tone: dedicated, demands of the market, highlighted, focused and trademarked. The references need to include much more independent writings for this to be able to be an article though. What references there all look to be written by the company. The WHO content is just one line. Are there any newspaper stories, or journal articles? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:55, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I know, but I've made modifications on the draft, changing the words you suggested me. https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:AdvaCare_Pharma Try to look at it.--RedBud (talk) 06:15, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Can you restore a few histories + talk page history

Thanks! Is their anyway to combine history with Vajazzling and Vajazzle? If not can you restore history for Vajazzle? Valoem ^{talk contrib} 23:40, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

I don't really want to do that as all the editions look to be independent, and overlap in time, however I can do Vajazzle, leaving out something that should not be there. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:15, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Sure, history restore of Vajazzle works as well, just to show evolution of article. Thanks! Valoem ^{talk contrib} 01:18, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Few more requests please userfy both article plus talk for Organizations in A Song of Ice and Fire and Wars in A Song of Ice and Fire, and this Talk:Yo Sé Que Mentía overturned at DRV. Also I do mind if I restore this article it passes GNG very clearly person is also notable for more than one event. Based on this DRV the close was determined to be in administrator discretion, however this administrator has since been permanently banned, so discretion should fall on active editors. Since you were kind enough to restore this for me I thought it would be prudent to ask. I found these two sources as well Telegraph, Inquisitr. Valoem ^{talk contrib} 09:39, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

One more Brian G. Gilmartin. Is this just a redirect Brian Gilmartin or is there more? Sorry it so difficult I can't see delete material. Valoem ^{talk contrib} 10:10, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Confirming Brian Gilmartin was just a redirect as you can tell from the deletion reason. For ‎Diana Napolis, the DRV statement about administrator discretion, means that the administrator Secret had the discretion to select this kind of closure. Not that anyone has authorisation to restore. However on that topic you should address the issues raised in the AFD. Are there BLP violations? Is it a BLP1E? (or can you show notability based on more than the one event, ie coverage in publications at other times?) Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:18, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! I trust my judgment here. I've added three additional sources just in case. I believe arguments from some editors in the AfD favor keeping to be compelling enough. An extensive investigation was taking place for multiple cases of stalking over an extended period of time. I'll restore it with the additional sources and no prejudiced against renomination. Valoem ^{talk contrib} 12:36, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Wars in A Song of Ice and Fire was already moved to User:Jclemens/Wars in A Song of Ice and Fire so you can just go here and improve it. In your userspace you now have User:Valoem/Brian G. Gilmartin and its talk. For the now userfied User:Valoem/Organizations in A Song of Ice and Fire you will have to find extra sourcing that shows notability of the topic.

SCWISTlogo.gif deleted in 2010

Should I update this image again under different name? The page using this logo was deleted. I am working on releasing it again and will need this image. Gpeja (talk) 22:13, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

If the article is recreated then it would be worth having a logo for the organisation. If you actually hold the copyright on the logo, then you can make it free and release it to commons. But it was used under fair use and so cannot hang around if it is not used on an actual article. Once the User:Gpeja/Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology page is moved back to an article, I can restore the logo for you. I don't think the logo needs a different name though. Does the organisation have a new logo? If so then it can be update when there is an actual article to put it on. (In userspace we cannot use fair use images).

Deleted article

Hi Graeme,

You deleted a page for "Pan European ICT & eBusiness Network for SME". Why did you delete this page? The organisation operates european wide and is the official representation for all SME companies in Europa. They are instructed from the EU (projects: http://www.it-sme.eu/projects/). They have the same importance than UEAPME (https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/UEAPME). You wrote " No evidence of awards, charting or in depth coverage in independent reliable sources" as reason, but what kind of sources should I add? UEAPME for example doesn't have better sources in my eyes.

I am sorry for my late answer. In the last 2 weeks I had been on vacation.

Looking forward to reading your answer.

BEst, Andreas
