2greendollars

dear Ihcoyc. thanks for speedily deleting one of the articles i was editing. would you mind please re-instating it as none of the claims are correct. subject is well noted in other articles on google and yahoo, bing, baidu etc (over 2000 of them) and I am merely piecing relevant material encyclopaedically (being a reference of references). As well, subjects earlier notability occurred when internet was in its infancy, and I dont have the means or ability to post print news articles and print reference texts, let alone pictures. I have no direct connection to subject. This really irks me.... Seen him at a gig in china. Havent even met the guy. It has support, with other editors (as you see in its history) participating in editing. Thankyou in advance in your support of having wikipedia be the "reference of references" that it is. Avatera (talk) 16:26, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

thankyou for the response. I dont have any knowledge of previous attempts and I really cant compare something that I dont know about with something of today that complies with all things wiki, has several sources of information to, and that I and others spent a lot of time in containing inline citations to and linking well researched references on. If you also noticed in the talk page there was a lot of stuff cut out of the previous article under "DJ 2greendollars" which wasnt put into the "2greendollars" article as it needed more community consultation and inline citations. Wouldnt it be more mindful of you to delete the material associated with any previous article written under the name of a supposed article under "anthony chidiac" - not simply blow away the time and effort of a group of people associated with putting together an article? it has been up for some time now, I think nearly a year...so I'm at a loss as to why you can not only nominate for speedy deletion but do it without consultation with any of the editors listed in the history. To me this sounds like you are interpreting the wikipedia rules for your own purpose and not that of a community at large. Please dont take my comments negatively but I think whats best is a win-win situation and a forum for discussion, a deletion of material not referenced or researched as per WP:BIO - not a razor to editors throats and canning an ENTIRE ARTICLE for compiling information as a reference of references on the internet. I have no information on any previous article than that of "DJ 2greendollars" and "2greendollars" - is there any copy of this somewhere that I can compare? if you have copy then surely I can view the same yes? thanks. ava. Avatera (talk) 04:27, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

I nominated that article for speedy deletion because it had already been deleted three times before for lack of notability, and the re-submission of material that's already been deleted after full discussion is indeed grounds for speedy deletion. Since this has happened three times before, it's pretty much established that this entertainer is not notable enough for a Wikipedia article, and will not have one. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:47, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

The page was deleted and cannot be restored with the same name. The deleted page was speaking about a noticeable software that recently won an awoards and it is referenced in this Wikipedia Article Infoworld_Bossie_Awards and here Commercial_open_source_applications. I ask you to remove the lock, in order to allow me or other wikipedian users to write an article on this topic. I don't ask you to restore the page, i just ask you to remove the lock, than someone can write the article and subit it to you or other administrators.

Dear Ihcoyc, i put an additional reference to the page. I found a web page of the old project Contineo that is online since many years, and this page confirms some dates and informations i wrote in my article about LogicalDOC. What do you think about this? Are now enough the references in order to publish the article? Regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sprmw7 (talk • contribs) 07:24, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ihcoyc, can you remove the lock on the LogicalDOC page? I wish to publish the article since i think it would be apreciated by Wikipedia users and administrators, since all informations collected here are true and verifiable. Thanks in advance —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sprmw7 (talk • contribs) 13:33, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks Ihcoyc for your revision, your edits to the page were correct and i agree that the article looks better now. I just corrected a syntax error in the 'Cloud/SaaS' string. If you could unlock the page LogicalDOC page it would be very good, so i will publish it. Please let me know if and when i can proceed. Best Regards

Perfect Ihcoyc, the page seems to be published, i also fixed the broken links. Many thanks for your work, many thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sprmw7 (talk • contribs) 18:20, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Indifferentism

The article Indifferentism has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Adequately covered in Apatheism, term defined differently by just about every source that uses it.

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

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Eldamorie (talk) 15:03, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Okay, you've got my curiosity piqued. What's about the string "saas" that could be suspect?

RouterTech: 2nd AfD nomintation

Hello. You participated in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RouterTech where you expressed the opinion that the article should be deleted. It was, but the article's creator had an administrator undelete the article and renominate it for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RouterTech (2nd nomination). I figured that since you have participated in many AfDs, especially those pertaining to non-notable software and other products, your experience and opinion will be valuable in this case. I hope to see you at the AfD. Regards, Rilak (talk) 03:23, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello. Sorry to bother you again, but the AfD is not progressing well. The creator of the article is dismissing my arguments and ignoring various policies and guidelines (such as WP:N and WP:RS). Since I get the impression that the creator of the article views me as an evil editor who is out to get his articles deleted, I would appreciate it if you could review the arguments made by all participants and comment on them.

PS: If you know of a deletionist cabal that takes joy in getting artcles about non-notable topics deleted, I could use their help right now... :)

How a debate can be close so quickly? - Triple accounting

I don't understand how you reach the conclusion that the deletion had to be done... Just because Smerdis of Tlön asked a caustic question? Of course not it isn't possible that you get a loan just on your emotional balance... But certainly a depressed person has less chance than a charismatic one... Anyway. The point is not about is Triple Accounting relevant but if Triple Accounting is notable... And from my small perspective of Belgian living in Brussels and working with social entreprenors... This concept is being noted more and more. Olivier C (talk) 15:07, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

I asked how to support the article... You main respond was just to shoot it down... How constructive is it?

Might be that I don't understand the process but you were the only one suggesting deletion where, Bruno was asking how to improve and I was suggesting that the article was worth... So I do not understand... Should we have a kind of "Keep it" sign?

I guess like suggest here... I will bring the article back when I will have found more references and proofs that in Belgium that do make sens. Thank you for your explanations Olivier C (talk) 15:44, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion Appeal

Hi,

I am going to appeal the speedy deletion of The Global Townhall page based on an incorrect search term used as justification to delete it, and provide additional information. Out of courtesy, I wanted to give you an opportunity to review the new information before I officially appeal the deletion to see if you would like to reverse it given the new information. Please see following information:

Appealing Deletion of The Global Townhall page

The search term used to justify speedy deletion of this page was inaccurate and invalid. Said company is three words, search used to justify deletion was only two words.

“fails WP:CORP. potential hoax or at the very least blatant self promotion. nothing in gnews [1], despite the grand claims of being involved with notable people. lacks reliable sources. also note the excessive and unnecessary use of categories. LibStar (talk) 07:15, 17 May 2011 (UTC)”

Proof of involvement with notable people can be ascertained with a correct and relevant search term that shows acknowledgment of The Global Townhall interview on notable person's official site Google. To cross check notable people who were claimed to be interviewed; here are three examples of notable people at a glance who reposted the interview on their Official Site as an external reference:

2010 No.1 Women’s World Tennis Champion, Caroline Wozniaki’s Official Site:

Bestselling author David Baldacci's Official Site

Caddy Shack actress Cindy Morgan’s Official Site:

If they did not interview with said company they would not post it on their official site.

Evidence that the CEO and Founder of The Global Townhall is actively involved with notable people is evident here as a Board Member of The International Relations Council which can be found on this IRC Board of Directors list. The IRC hosts global dignitaries from around the world including Prime Ministers and Secretary of States at events in Kansas City, of which the Founder would be obliged to attend as a Board Member. The exceptional speaker list can be found here.

The CEO and Founder of the company is also listed as a Coalition Member alongside Senators, Congressmen and other notable people at a DC energy policy organization Set America Free.

Here are pictures Hall of Fame Astronaut, Story Musgrave visiting with the CEO of The Global Townhall and being introduced to influential people in Kansas City:

It is a valid point that the categories was wrong and do need to be changed. That was my error in changing them as I did not think "Urban Planning" which someone had added was accurate.

I will attempt to answer this question posted from Perdon:

"Puzzled What does "The Global Townhall (TGT) is a Kansas City based company dedicated to collecting ideas from successful people around the world to help main street excel." mean? Anyone know? Peridon (talk) 18:46, 17 May 2011 (UTC)"

"Main street" is a term made popular again through the recent Wall Street crash, referring to everyday people trying to make an honest living to provide for their family.

As examples of what the above statement means in real terms, I will cite an interview conducted with Australian billionaire Ken Talbot. The interview provides tips from the billionaire on how to become financially successful, to help people on "main street" prosper. The interview also focuses on how billionaires and policy makers can help poverty stricken Africans (main street there) while conducting their mining business in Africa

The interview with Pakistani celebrity Veena Malik helps women in Pakistan from being killed by their fathers in honor killings by bringing cultural awareness through her following as a celebrity.

The interview with Australia’s Biggest Loser Fitness Trainer, Michelle Bridges is intended to help keep people at a healthy weight therefore having a better quality life.

So the notable people are obviously associated with the company and if you review the content of the interviews they are all intended to help people, so the page was not a “blatant advert” as claimed, but a review of what it does and who is featured on the site. The site is a treasure trove of encyclopedic information from one of Leslie Nielsen’s last interviews (listen to the audio clip on the page as proof,) to comments from a Commanding 3 Star General on US involvement in the Egyptian Revolution, to whether a Senior Senator plans to run for President.

At the very least, the word “hoax” should be removed as it is slanderous (and may make you vulnerable for a legal action) and was based on an incorrect and irrelevant search term. If The Global Townhall does what it does as I have established, this is all very unfair and a poor reflection on Wikipedia.

Thanks for your consideration in reversing the deletion and removing the "hoax" given this new information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lassiew (talk • contribs) 11:29, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Regarding your recent comment at the non-free content enforcement

Hi Ihoyc, regarding the comment you made here, I just wanted to talk to you about a few issues. Firstly, and most seriously, you say "you're telling me is that it's the Foundation that's being the dicks here". Now I don't think anybody else said that, so it's a straw man argument for starters (if they did, please point me towards who said it, and I'll have a word with them). Secondly, that implies that you are calling the foundation dicks, this is an attack against them, and is disruptive, continuing along these lines will lead to a civility or NPAs block. The rest of your comment is drama-mongering, regardless of the context, and is not adding anything to the discussion. Phrases like "civil war" are not helping the editors there to properly discuss in the spirit of collaboration, please remember Wikipedia is not your battleground.

Just a friendly note

I didn't mean to stalk your contributions (I was confused at the difference between your sig and your username and trying to figure out what was going on) but I did notice that you incorrectly tagged File:Mickey_mouse_acid_warning.png as public domain due to its method of distribution. Thats not quite right. If you were to argue that distribution by photocopier constituted publication, which I would (if for no other reason then unpublished works are under copyright in the US for 120 years from creation) then the correct reason would be that it was a work first published in the US between 1923 and 1977 without a copyright notice attached. Cornell as a super-handy list for what works fall into the public domain when, you can see it at http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm. -- ۩ Mask 11:34, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

The intent of the author doesn't matter so much without an explicit license, Copyright Law errs on the restrictive rather then the permissive. Snopes traces examples to portugal and brazil as far back as the late 70's, with an American origin. I think you can safely say first publication was prior to 1978. -- ۩ Mask 11:58, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

A question

I have recently been indefinitely blocked for responding to the debate we are having concerning http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/File:Ipatiev2.jpg

I posted an extremely lengthy rejoinder, which SarekofVulcan construed as a polemic, and thus deleted. When I posted it again, stating that it was relevant to the case (because, in my opinion, it is), it was reverted again as soapboxing. The rejoinder can be viewed here: http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_May_31&diff=432469717&oldid=432469381

SarekfVulcan subsequently blocked me indefinitely. He did not give me a warning. There was no indication from the debate that I would be blocked for posting my rejoinder.

I then appealed the case 3 times, and in each case was met with hostility. The third administrator removed my ability to appeal the case: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:Blastikus#Admission_of_error_-_request_for_unblock

Is there any condition I could meet so that I am able to resume editing wikipedia? This case seems to have been an ideological/content dispute that was overblown. Regardless of my disagreement, I do promise to maintain respect of administrators and editors, focus on the content at hand, and keep my counter-points short and concise, but I do believe this action was unwarranted.

Weaksauce

Hi Ihcoyc,

Could you restore [[Weaksauce]] temporarily, so I can transwiki it properly? The previous "transwiki" simply took the content with an edit-summary acknowledgement. (Which would be fine if the article here were being kept, since then anyone could come here for the complete edit history; but since it's not, that transwiki method amounted to copyright violation.)

Thanks in advance!

Oh, and now I realize that you're the one who transwiki'd it wrong. For future reference: please don't do it that way. If you need an article transwiki'd to Wiktionary, feel free to bug me at [[wikt:User:Ruakh]]. :-)   —Ruakh_TALK 13:46, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I've transwiki'd it now; please re-delete. Thanks again! —Ruakh_TALK 14:19, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Non-Free rationale for File:Littleenginethatcould.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Littleenginethatcould.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Stars in astrology

Hi - hope you'll go back to that page and read my comment which clarifies how much I agree with you. But you need to read the associated discussions to see how the page is being used to prohibit astrological reference. The discussion on the Algol page reveals just how much problem this page is causing. Hope you'll find time to check that out (in fact, I'd be interested in your feedback on that point if you can find the time) Zac Δ talk 15:19, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Just popping in again to say I think you are doing a great job on that page. Thanks for proving me wrong ! Zac Δ talk 18:11, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Aria Networks

I noticed a recent update you made to the Aria Networks page. Now I personally wouldnt edit the article since I work there and theres obvious COI contentions there, let me state that right up front so theres no confusion, but I do keep an eye on the page and a recent update by you isnt really correct. You updated a page to state that they make maintenance software, thats not really true, Aria is at the other end of the network lifecycle, the software they make is all about planning, forecasting and optimal placement of services using the AI engine, not about maintenance of the networks. They are more about what equipment you need to buy, or where you place services in the network to make the most money or best use of your limited resources, not about how to fix or maintain the network. Planning & forecasting rather than maintenance. beardybloke (talk) 23:58, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
