Good work

I was admiring some of your work and came by to thank you for your contributions. It looks like I just missed you. In any case, thanks for all of your efforts. This project is better because of your participation.   Will Beback  talk  05:05, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An exciting opportunity to get involved!

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 22:59, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive protection

Just wanted to remind you that indefinite protection shouldn't be used on articles which are only seeing vandalism because they are connected to a current event, as you did with the Joe Wilson article. It's a real PITA to have to whine about such administrative errors over at WP:RFP once the articles are no longer the flavor of the day. -- 209.6.238.201 (talk) 15:15, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, if you are retired, you should probably give up the admin bit anyway; your talk page header is confusing. -- 209.6.238.201 (talk) 15:17, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Retired or not ...

... I was looking over old AfDs in which I participated, and remembered you closing one against heavy consensus with the words "Despite the majority begging for keep, none of their arguments are grounded in our policies in any shape or form." Courage not often enough found on Wikipedia.

Nicholas Beale

Hi. Regarding your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicholas Beale (5th nomination) - would you have any objection if I recreated it as a redirect to Questions of Truth? Although the consensus of the AfD did seem to be for deletion no-one really argued against having a redirect and it seems a very reasonable one to me. If we do make a redirect, I'm not sure what length of protection would be appropriate... Anyway, let me know what you think. Olaf Davis (talk) 14:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

People who commented at the AfD seemed to want delete and salt. After five AfDs, it's time this issue was put to bed, unless and until there's a change in circumstances that would make an article viable. Olaf, did someone approach you to request this? SlimVirgin TALK contribs 17:16, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, noone has asked me to make a redirect or take any other action on this page.
I agree that it's best to put the issue to bed - we don't want to waste time of AfD 6 if Beale doesn't become more notable - but a protected redirect would seem to do that just as well as a protected redlink, while giving the (potentially reasonably large) number of readers who search for him the most sensible article instead of a search results page. I know the consensus was for delete, but no-one specifically said we shouldn't have a redirect - their comments were all along the lines of "salt so he doesn't try to make another article" which as I say is unchanged by the presence of a protected redirect, and several people argued for one.
Anyway, it's not all that important either way - I just thought making the redirect would make things marginally easier for readers without violating the spirit of the consensus at the AfD. I won't object if you disagree, though. Olaf Davis (talk) 17:38, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
When people say delete and salt, they mean delete the title, not edit the article. Creating a redirect would be keeping the title, and changing the content of the page. Doing that risks triggering a DRV, and Olaf, I'm concerned about the way you replied to my question. Has anyone asked you, or suggested to you, anything at all about this page? Please understand that the people who have tried to sort this out have been exposed to personal attacks. The result of this fifth deletion debate has to be respected finally so that the issue can be dropped. SlimVirgin TALK contribs 17:50, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest I'm not quite sure what concerns you about my answer, but I'll try to be as explicit as possible: no-one has asked me to take any action regarding this page, or suggested that I do so, or even mentioned the page to me since the last AfD opened. Does that allay your concerns?
Like I said I don't feel strongly about the redirect, so I'm happy to let this go now. Olaf Davis (talk) 18:15, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
SV, your arguments do not necessarily apply to a protected redirect after deletion of the prior contents. DGG ( talk ) 18:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Kurykh! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 13 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Sword of Truth universe

A lot of stuff came in last minute on the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Sword of Truth universe. The debate was still very live. The keep arguments were very weak. A no consensus close was in my opinion not a good close. A relist may have been better. Polargeo (talk) 11:41, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In fact rather than wasting time on a deletion review for an article I am really not that worried about. Could you please relist this one. I just think it is a principle on this sort of article. No independent sources and fancruft editors wanting to analyse their favourite fantasy series to the point that one article isn't enough and they need several wikipedia articles to do it despite insufficient independent sources for several articles. Polargeo (talk) 15:01, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with Polargeo; in fact, I think that the "keep" arguments were so weak that the debate should have been closed as "delete" if not relisted. Would you mind explaining your reasoning for closing the debate in this way? Thanks, A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 19:23, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A relist is only if there are insufficient comments or participation, not as a replacement for a no-consensus closure (see WP:RELIST). I closed it as no consensus because I could see...no consensus. The keep arguments in my view were not "so weak", and since the delete arguments were also strong, I say there is no consensus. --kurykh 22:48, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But those voting to keep completely failed to refute the arguments to delete. They found no evidence that the subject had been covered significantly in third-party sources, if they even acknowledged the GNG's applicability. A large part of their side of the debate was also based on arguments to avoid, including WP:ITEXISTS, WP:WAX, WP:ALLORNOTHING, WP:BHTT, and "I'm sure there are sources out there." These are exceptionally weak arguments, especially when compared to the policy-grounded arguments to delete. Please reconsider. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 23:44, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I stand by my decision and my rationale. If you still wish to overturn my decision, please go to WP:DRV. --kurykh 23:55, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
All right then. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 February 1#The Sword of Truth universe. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 01:50, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]


The latin phonetic method of Shanghainese

There were some troubles when posting or publishing this article. The webpage is blocked by P.R.China’s government and was blocked by Wikipedia due to some you-know-it political reasons. I wish, Wikipedia’s decision will definitely not be influenced by Chinese 50 Cent Party. You reflect, Please. Thank you. --ZHU Yeyi (talk) 17:38, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]


The draft of The Latin Phonetic Method of Shanghainese (LPMS) was published for the first time in 2001; its latest version was decided after a couple of revises and updates in 2003. It is the first Shanghainese phonetic notation which had been popularized on internet and the only Shanghainese phonetic notation designed based on Western linguistic spelling traditions. In 2004, the first Shanghainese Input Methods for Computers complying with LPMS was developed and formally published.

Refs in the lead

There is no reason to put refs for the votes in the lead at Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Moreover, refs shouldn't be moved from the body to the lead. The only reason to put refs in the lead is where the claim is controversial and likely to be challenged. In that case, it might be warranted to duplicate the refs from the body text. At the article in question, there is nothing controversial about the lead, and certainly not about the vote totals. -Rrius (talk) 00:33, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Election map

I've fixed Pontefract and Normanton, but I can't see in the code what's wrong with Caithness. I'm getting very tired, so that might be a factor. Along those lines, would you be willing to take over? If so, let me know; if not, let me know. Using the "latest declarations" table at the BBC's election site, Camborne is the last I've done, and Sheffield Central the next to be done. -Rrius (talk) 06:12, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see what happened with Caithness; it was one of the ones I had to go back and pick up because it dropped off the "latest declarations" list before I got to it, so it had to wait for me to catch up. -Rrius (talk) 06:14, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Beale again

Hi Kurykh. I know I said in January (see above) that I'd drop this, but I've decided to - well, pick it up again. I would like to create Nicholas Beale as a protected redirect to Questions of Truth, for the reasons I outlined above. Would you, as the protecting admin, object to this? Olaf Davis (talk) 14:38, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that time diminishes the result of an AfD or makes it any less binding, really. I wouldn't do it without a DRV at least. --kurykh 19:58, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I totally agree regarding the timescale: my position is just that the AfD shouldn't preclude creation of a protected redirect. But since you (and SV) disagree, I've gone to DRV as you suggest: Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 May 8. Olaf Davis (talk) 21:37, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blue-necked, Blue-ring, Blue-rumped, and Blue-spotted

Hi Kurykh,

I was on a long wikibreak while the AfD for Blue-necked, Blue-ring, Blue-rumped, and Blue-spotted was taking place. I am the creator of at least Blue-necked and probably the others, although I cannot be sure of that because they have been deleted and I am not an administrator. If I recall correctly, these four pages were disambiguation pages primarily listing birds. Birders commonly refer to birds by their "colour-part" names alone, therefore I believe these four pages should be reinstated. The deletion discussion left out the relevant information that there have already been two discussions about disambiguation pages of this type and both lead to the preservation of the pages in question. These two discussions can be found here and here. I have brought this information to the attention of JHunterJ, who has notified me that he would not object to a deletion review. On the deletion review page, however, it states that the deletion review process should only be undergone if discussion with the deleting administrator does not resolve the issue. I am contacting you because you were the deleting administrator for these four pages. Would you be willing to recreate the four pages in question?

Neelix (talk) 19:20, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would advise a deletion review. --kurykh 04:15, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Floyd

Just for information - you closed WP:Articles for deletion/Chris Floyd as delete on 18 May. The article was re-created as Chris Floyd - Empire Burlesque on 30 May, moved back to Chris Floyd and tagged G4. I looked at it, saw that though a long string of references had been added they were mostly links to articles he had written rather than to anything about him, decided that they did not overcome the problems at the AfD, deleted it G4 and told the author Caribmon (talk · contribs) that he should clear it with you or through DRV. Instead he has just put it back in again, and it's now at WP:Articles for deletion/Chris Floyd (2nd nomination). In deleting it, I also tidied up the redirect and noticed comments at this RfD which suggest that the new AfD may suffer from SPAs. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:23, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kurykh,
The user asked for help with this (after no response here for a week), and I thought it OK now to move back to a live article - mostly, because I don't think it'll be CSD'd. I think it can fend for itself. Hope that is OK, best,  Chzz  ►  17:50, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the lack of response; I totally forgot about this matter. Since the AfD was over two years ago and the new version is substantially different from the old, I (belatedly) would approve of its recreation. --kurykh 19:00, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Prema Sai Baba re-deletion requested

Can you please re-delete? Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2007_November_19#Prema_Sai_Baba This article was re-created without deletion review. I personally do not oppose the existence of this article, but I oppose its current form, because it is written only with sources closely related to the subject (devotee sources). A few third party reputable sources exist (Babb, Taylor), but I am a bit tired of proposing them, because my experience in the past years on Sathya Sai Baba related articles is that these get ignored. I am not allowed to edit the article myself, in contrast to the talk page, because I was topic banned by the arbcom, because of Conflict of Interest (hostility to the subject). Thanks in advance. Andries (talk) 08:02, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And? I had mentioned this request at talk:Sathya Sai Baba. One editor agreed and nobody objected. I am aware that the circumstances of my request are unusual, but I think that a deletion would be okay and according to procedures. I will ask another admin to delete if it takes too long. Andries (talk) 13:53, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The current article is sufficiently different from the deleted version that I am hesitant to delete it based on an AfD three and a half years ago. The concerns you raise seem to be more about editorial concerns rather than issues that might strike down the article (as you apparently admitted). I would be unwilling to delete it without having it go through another AfD, even though you're constrained from doing much about it by ArbCom. Perhaps your concerns should be raised at the appropriate noticeboard. --Kurykh (talk) 14:58, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for creating the House election map for 2012. I noticed two things that need to be changed.

Thank you so much for bringing back the great map that you made for the 2010 House elections. Can you revert the map for the 2012 house elections back to the one with the bright red and bright blue pickups with black state lines that you had before that person started changing things.

Hi. When you recently edited California State Legislature, 2011–2012 session, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nancy Skinner (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Horace Traubel

Just a quick heads-up that I've righted a boo-boo you made back in 2007 when you deleted a piece on Horace Traubel. That was a whoops, it happens. Carrite (talk) 23:12, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand why some of my edits are changed on the United States Senate election in California, 2012 page

but what bothers me is that because some of my edits are in the wrong format people (including you) are just deleting all of them. for example I took out "2012 potential candidates" section because it is now to late for anyone else to join the race. but noooo you guys constantly put that false information back up, because it is easier to just delete everything I did then looking through the edits one at a time. This is what makes new people not want to contribute to wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.10.98.206 (talk) 18:37, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redundundant?

If CA cities and towns were, in the minds of users, always incorporated entities then there would not be the problem of editors adding unincorporated locations, e.g. Quincy. Obviously there are those who do not automatically think of incorporated entities when they see the words "Cities and Towns," so, even though it might be technically redundant (by virtue of state law), it is not practically redundant. It's like the word inflammable being discontinued as a reference for something that will burn, because many people think it means that something won't burn, regardless of what the dictionary says. They were just being practical as I believe I was when I added "(Incorporated)." Is there some reason we can't be practical? Will it hurt to have the notation there?CampKohler (talk) 01:50, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Only one person has added Quincy as a city, and I'm sure they did that because they saw "county seat" and thought we were missing some places. One instance does not mean there's a systemic problem in the article, so I thought there was no need for such a tautology. If anyone was confused about what a city or town is, there's a link to the article about local government in the United States in the lede. Lastly, from the tone of your post, you're taking my revert of your addition a bit too seriously. It's simply a difference of opinion, and I hope it stays just that. --Kurykh (talk) 03:50, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited California's 33rd State Assembly district, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tim Donnelly (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Thanks for your work on California election pages

I noticed you've done a lot of recent work on the many pages related to California elections. Thanks! I'm trying to puzzle out the effects of the redistricting, specifically in California's_72nd_State_Assembly_district -- suggestions would be appreciated. JesseW, the juggling janitor 04:19, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words! I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have. --Kurykh (talk) 04:42, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Kurykh! I too am looking for info on the results of redistricting, specifically what will happen to the even-numbered California State Senate districts and the Senators that represent the former even-numbered districts. I notice that on the California_State_Legislature,_2013–2014_session page, you assigned State Senators from old districts to specific new districts (e.g. Mark Wyland to SD 36, Joel Anderson to SD 38, etc.), and I am curious as to the source of that info. I know we'll find out officially on December 3rd or so, but if you have advance info I would love to know where it's from. Thanks much! gohlkus (talk) 23:52, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
For the even-numbered districts, they have not been officially assigned (that will come in December, probably). Many of these are educated guesses based on the previous districts. Many of these are obvious, such as Anderson (inland SD County) and Wyland (coastal SD County). The ambiguous one (SD-28) was left blank. --Kurykh (talk) 01:54, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for clarifying that they are educated guesses. Since Wikipedia's policy is, of course, verifiability, the “powers that be” discourage speculation. That said, I'm looking forward to collaborating with you on state government pages after we get the official word. Thanks again. --gohlkus (talk) 00:47, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
