New WikiProject Novels initiative

[edit]

We have begun a new initiative at the WikiProject Novels: an improvement drive. As a member listed here, you are being notified. Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Novels#5-5-5 Improvement Drive and Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Collaboration for more details. Also I would like to remind you to keep an eye on the project talk page at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Novels. Thanks, Sadads (talk) 01:56, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oz

[edit]

Hi. It's important to introduce background information for musicals. Please don't delete it. See, for example, Hair (musical), Flower Drum Song and Carousel (musical). All of these have been reviewed by numerous editors and promoted to GA-class or FA-class. Also, please see our guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Musical Theatre/Article Structure. Also see WP:LEAD, which explains that there should be a summary of the whole article in the Lead, and then the article is laid out at full length below. I know the article is just a short article now, but eventually it will be expanded with more information. WP:MUSICALS guidelines about background/history sections says that the section should answer the following questions:

What is the source material for this work? What is notable about the older work or how has the musical changed its focus?
How did this musical come to be written and/or produced?
Whose idea was it to make this musical?
Was this musical started in any workshops or previews? What was unusual about them? (For example, in a workshop of the precursor to Dreamgirls, Nell Carter's performance influenced how the show developed, and this should be addressed in this section.) -- [User:Ssilvers|Ssilvers]] (talk) 21:08, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message. Please explain what you see as resembling "advertising". I don't see it, but I'd be happy to discuss it and try to solve your concern. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:13, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we need the word "famous" to describe the film, if that's what's bothering you. I'll delete it. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:24, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message. Yes, that's ok. Of course the film IS famous, but we don't need to say so: we can give the evidence instead - that it won the Academy Award. Personally, I think we should add that it continues to be broadcast on TV, but I'll leave it to you as to whether you want to add that now. I think it's worth noting, as it also makes it crystal clear to most readers that we are, indeed, talking about THAT version. :-) -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:34, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know how to collapse the big Oz navbox at the bottom of these articles? It seems very obtrusive. Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:21, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I suggested, as a compromise, that the 1939 film adaptation bore a stronger resemblance to the original that "many" previous versions. Does that work for you? -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:49, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your patience in this discussion. I will copy the new sentence to the 1987 article. I understand that you are familiar with the literature in this area. Can you find a citation for the sentence? We should give a page range from a source that compares these versions and notes which of them were more or less similar to the original book. Perhaps we can cite to a chapter or two in the Swartz book? Thanks for any help! -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:41, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I added a plot summary. Can you check it and add any important details? For instance, after the Wizard takes off in his rocket ship, does Glinda show up, like in the film, or does Dorothy make a journey to Glinda's home, like in the novel? All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:35, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the information that you disputed. Is it ok now? All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:20, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mo

[edit]

I am very skeptical about the suitability of the Baum book being in the Alice template. -- Evertype·✆ 15:52, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you edit the comment you made on my page? There's a syntax error and I am not sure what you intended to say. -- Evertype·✆ 18:06, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Carolyn Sigler lists Baum's Dot and Tot of Merryland, The Magical Monarch of Mo, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz all three in her bibliography (though she does not annotate it)... indeed the Wonderful Wizard is a story about "girl who goes to otherworld and has adventures" while if I understand it the Magical Monarch is a set of stories without a common character through them. (I could be wrong; I haven't read it). Is there more in Baum criticism that discusses the nature of the imitation or influence? -- Evertype·✆ 19:19, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oz deletions

[edit]

Two things:

Remember the General Notability Guideline. Being a character in a book ≠ being noteworthy enough for a Wikipedia article. The threshold is sources; all the nominated articles have source problems; and in addition were stubs and are from some of the lesser-known books

February 2011

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Human feces, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. RadioFan (talk) 01:38, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do NOT add unsourced information about living people to articles. Watching a video and claiming you saw something is not a WP:RS by wikipedia standards. Again, do NOT add potentially damaging information about living people to articles. You will be blocked if it continues. Please read up on WP:BLP, and it wouldn't hurt if you reviewed our sourcing and verifiability policies. -Andrew c ^[talk] 16:16, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. If you continue to add unsourced, especially possibly damaging or negative information, about living individuals to Wikipedia articles, you will be blocked. If you don't understand the policy, please ask questions. This is a matter we take very seriously on Wikipedia. -Andrew c ^[talk] 00:45, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be glad to discuss article content further. And I'd also apologize and retract my warning above if proven wrong. But the text you added, the actual content, could in no way be derived from the 'source' in question. If I am wrong, please quote me the portion of the source that I am apparently missing. I don't see specific actors named, I don't see specific sex acts named, I don't see anything about closeups or anything that you added. I'd really like to know how you found that in the source. But again, let's continue this on the article's talk page. -Andrew c ^[talk] 01:30, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate edits

[edit]

This seems nothing short of childish vandalism. You will be blocked from editing if this or other disruption continues. Toddst1 (talk) 19:10, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Scott Walker (politician), please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Tentontunic (talk) 17:00, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for contravening Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Toddst1 (talk) 18:05, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Scottandrewhutchins (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I thought Yahoo! News qualified as a reliable source. Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 20:05, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

It depends; there's nothing inherently flawed about Yahoo News, especially in that they frequently host AP and Reuters content, among others. The issue is that nothing in the yahoo source says anything to support the claims you made here, where you accuse a living person of illegal conduct. Ignoring that, you don't cite the article - you very specifically cited a comment on the article. Comments of this type are absolutely not reliable sources - anyone can post anything. This is a gross violation of WP:BLP. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 20:22, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

'This source says the same thing that I said on my edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpUWM1EtJCs . Is The Young Turks not considered a reliable news source, either? A citation error is not a valid reason for a block.'

Decline reason:

But you are not blocked for citing "Young Turks", whatever that is, but for citing an anonymous comment about a living person as the source for derogatory information about that person. You still do not seem to understand the problem. Sandstein 21:58, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, you were blocked for this series of edits which is the second time you added that info which is not supported by the source you cited. Toddst1 (talk) 22:37, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Scottandrewhutchins (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I understand the problem. I made a citation error. The Young Turks does specifically state that using state troopers to bring Congress back into the state is illegal. You are in severe violation of WP:civility in doing this to me. Todd's comment regarding the David Friedman citation is an outright lie. And besides, David is openly gay. I have his e-mail address, and I am sure that he will find it asinine that you have blocked me for mentioning his partner.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 04:25, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

No grounds for unblock provided. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 05:52, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You were not blocked for mentioning his partner - you were blocked for synthesizing that he shares a house - an assertion clearly not supported by your source - after numerous warnings. You seem to continue to be having great difficulty complying with WP:V and WP:SYN despite numerous warnings and attempts to clarify the policies with you.

The nonsense at Scott Walker, human feces and other pages, just illustrate a broader instance of this problem. Toddst1 (talk) 05:28, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for continued addition of un-cited material/WP:OR and addition of inappropriate WP:EL as citation. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Request reason:

What did I add that was unsourced? The only thing I can think of is on Black Orchid. There are two issues of Suicide Squad where Black Orchid's disappearance is mentioned, but I haven't been able to determine the issues, although they were within The Janus Directive. Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 21:53, 25 February 2011 (UTC))[reply]

I posted nothing at Scott Walker that can be considered "nonsense." It was simply deleted before I had time to beef up the sources.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 14:41, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

At this point you are just forum shopping. Take this time to review the guidelines that other editors have pointed out to you. When the block wears off please feel free to contribute constructively. --Selket ^Talk 23:10, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Scottandrewhutchins (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I broke none of the guidelines on WP:EL that I can see. Please identify which one I broke. I needed to source the claim that the cited article did not support. Also note Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not censored: "However, some articles may include text, images, or links which some people may find objectionable, when these materials are relevant to the content. Discussion of potentially objectionable content should not focus on its offensiveness but on whether it is appropriate to include in a given article. Beyond that, "being objectionable" is generally not sufficient grounds for removal of content.". In addition, she told Sean Hannity on his show just what she was doing in the video, although she did not mention she was viewing pornography and claimed to have been alone in the room, while someone is clearly there with her moving the camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSLKmnAACKI I did not state this, because it might violate WP:OR, but it cannot be argued that it is an irrelevant link, nor can it be considered a BLP violation (its inclusion could be a topic for debate, but since there is no discussion of this matter on the talk page, it is an extraordinary stretch to consider my edit a violation) considering she has gone on international television and talked about the video in question.Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 14:41, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Enjoy the remainder fo your time off. Before you come back please review this matter and reconsider your approach to sourcing and synthesizing content or you will be blocked again. By the way I am revoking your ability to post further unblock requests, you may contact WP:ARBCOM by email if you wish to appeal further. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:37, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Knook for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Knook is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Knook until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Purple backpack89 22:50, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Objection to Oz deletions, removal of content

[edit]

this and this indicate that you have neither familiarized yourself with the policies surrounding deletion, nor the guidelines for notability. Just because a character is in a book or two does not automatically qualify it for its own article here; just because a character is in one chapter does not mean it should appear without any contex. Note that you being blocked and therefore unable to participate in the discussion is probably not a good reason, nor is “this is idiotic”, but you could try a Deletion review anyway. Have a nice day!

Calling me a vandalizing deletionist

[edit]

Excuse me? If you haven’t noticed, I’ve added 32KB of content to this article even if you take off the list, and 56KB of content if you don’t. That doesn’t sound like vandalizing deletionism to me, that sounds like talking a craptacular list of redlinks and making it into a decent article. And just because you haven’t written the blurbs (I’ve been the one writing most of the blurbs around here), you can just add the blurbs as you write them Purpleback pack 89≈≈≈≈ 18:52, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Calling good faith edits vandalism

[edit]

Please do not use the word "vandalism" to describe good faith edits in a content dispute. "Vandalism" has a very specific meaning on Wikipedia, which you can read about at WP:VANDAL; the quick summary is that vandalism is something which indisputably is done to damage the encyclopedia. Purplebackpack's reversion of your addition is a content dispute, and clearly not vandalism. Calling another editor's good faith edits vandalism is generally considered to be a personal attack, and thus not allowed under WP:NPA.

Furthermore, you need to respect the standard BRD editing process--that is, if you add something to an article, and another editor reverts it, don't re-add the information and thus start an edit war. Instead, discuss it on the talk page until consensus is reached (which is clearly not the case yet). Thanks. Qwyrxian (talk) 21:18, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war

[edit]

Hello. You appear to be involved in an edit war on List of Oz characters ‎ . While the three-revert rule is hard and fast, please be aware that you can be blocked for edit warring without making 3 reverts to an article in 24 hours. You are not entitled to 3 reverts and are expected to cooperatively engage other editors on talk pages rather than reverting their edits. Note that posting your thoughts on the talk page alone is not a license to continue reverting. You must reach consensus. Continued edit warring may cause you to be blocked.

Re: Snake deity

[edit]

Replying to your post at Talk:Egyptian pantheon:

There were a lot (a lot) of gods that could be represented by cobras (Meretseger, Wadjet, and Renenutet, for example). You say the snake god didn't have a cobra hood, but it's possible that it was a cobra depicted without its hood spread; I've never heard of such a thing, but there's tremendous room for variation in Egyptian art. The only god that I'm sure was consistently shown as a snake without a hood was Apep, but I've never seen him in human-animal form, just as a really long snake. My best guess would be one of the bizarre demons of the Duat, who are shown en masse in funerary texts but don't have much individual identity.

All this assumes, of course, that the wall display was based on genuine Egyptian art, rather than something made up in modern times. A. Parrot (talk) 20:50, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Leonard Kastle has passed away. I thought you might want to know

[edit]

His Memorial service is tomorrow in Colonie, NY. I left, under external links, a link to the Albany Times Union Obit. They allow a Legacy book feature for people to leave condolences. I know you admired his work so I felt I should at least tell you this. I also was sent a photo, from his Pastor, with permission to use it in his article. I'm not too sure how to do that. I used to know but my brain overflowed. Can I send you a link to the photo? BTW, I am very sorry for your loss if you also knew him or studied with him as I did. I'm trying to write something to be read tomorrow and get it to them in time. His Pastor also sent me a digital copy of the announcement of his death to his Parish. Leonard's conversion to Christianity is one of the biggest reasons he never made another film. All the scripts he wrote, beautifully written ones, had a redemptive theme to them. When I worked in Development, I passed two of my favorites to every producer I could, including Mel Gibson, but at that stage in his life, he just wanted murder & mayhem as did the others, hoping for the next Honey Moon Killers.

I'd like to see if we can add a paragraph about Leonard's teaching and it's impact. If I manage to wrote my eulogy and it's published eventually, it might be quotable.

Vulva at Vagina article

[edit]

Hello, Scottandrewhutchins. What do you mean by this edit? How is it not clear that this particular vulva is shaven? Clicking on the image clearly shows that this is a shaven vulva. It is not a natural state (as though the woman doesn't need to shave), and it is not a child's vulva. Which is why I reverted you on that. If you plan on reverting me without discussion, I will be bringing in other editors on this matter. It's a pretty clear-cut case as far as I'm concerned. Flyer22 (talk) 22:08, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As I stated on my talk page, "Oh, okay. If you click on the picture, you can see the times it was altered. And at one point, there is a hairy version. Sorry if you felt I was attacking you. With the version I saw, I just couldn't fathom how someone thought it wasn't shaven." Flyer22 (talk) 22:00, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of The Wizard of Ahh's

[edit]

The article The Wizard of Ahh's has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not meet criteria of WP:NFILM. Google search brings up 95 "unique" results, none of which constitute a significant mention in any reliable sources.

Joyce Drake

[edit]

e    I'm undertaking work re Drake which IMO is the friendliest possible approach to your efforts, and it seems worthwhile trying to clarify that for your information.
   (Incidentally, FWIW it may help you to know that it is clearly not "[his] new book" in which she is mentioned, as he wrote -- per the blacklisted URL www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&tag=mozilla-20&index=blended&link_code=qs&field-keywords=%26%2334%3BThe%20Worst%20Album%20Covers%20in%20the%20World%26%2334%3B&sourceid=Mozilla-search -- a follow-on in 2005.)
   The rough-handling approach would be simple reversion of the Dab Joyce (singer) back to the Rdr (which survives to preserve the addressability via external links to the SAmerican singer). This is justified by the guideline WP:DabRL, part of the navigational doctrine that we Dab actual articles (and not potential ones).
   Instead, i intend to apply that only after applying the guideline against WP:incomplete disambiguations (which IMO is based on their dispensibility, and the difficulty of maintaining them). The difference that will make is that the edit history of your and others' reverted edits will be trackable within the Dab page's history, rather than only in the fairly obscure blind alley of the Rdr's history. Without forming any opinion about the notability of JD, i think it will be feasible to write at least a stub about her, and the presence of content from the (restored) Rdr's history in the history of the Dab may benefit an editor working on that.
   If that's confusing, drop me a note; i gotta run right now.

(OK, that didn't save the first time, bcz of the bad URL, & i just found out 3 hours later. BTW, go see The Debt (2011 film), which is worth the while even if you've seen the Israeli original.)

--Jerzy•t 00:30, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've done what i said i would; note in case of confusion that i'm not interested in writing a stub on JD.

Proposed deletion of Jana Herzen

The article Jana Herzen has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

[edit]

This title is in the list of Adaptations of The Wizard of Oz#Future adaptations, with a 2012 release date. In the Template:Oz, there's a listing for "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (2011)" in the film section. Are these the same films? And do you think that the film is notable enough yet to belong in the template as an important forthcoming film? and, if the template film is different than the 2012 adaption, which film IS it? As you probably know, templates should generally not have nonlinked or redlinked subjects, unless its patently obvious they deserve an article. in this case, i dont even know what its referring to, let alone if its notable.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:10, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Video Communications, Inc.

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Video Communications, Inc. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

File permission problem with File:Rajamitkumar.JPG

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Rajamitkumar.JPG, which you've sourced to Raj Amit Kumar. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

dude that's awesome congrats Nex Carnifex (talk) 09:17, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Scottandrewhutchins. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Raj Amit Kumar, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:58, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Doctor Thirteen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page House of Secrets (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.

NYC Wiki-Picnic: Saturday June 22

[edit]

	Great American Wiknic NYC at Prospect Park

I'm writing an academic article on people-participation in the 'production' of Shakespeare studies.

I noticed that you had recently provided some edits for the Wiki Shakespeare page, and wondered if I might ask you some questions about that?

This project is at a very early stage so I've not yet refined or worked out a fixed methodology. So the questions are also not yet fully formed. (And I am aware that you also contribute to many other pages.)

1. What motivates you specifically to contribute specifically to the Shakespeare page?

2. Do you consider that your skills in this regard are general, technical, or specialist?

3. Have you contributed to other Shakespeare-related pages?

3. What's you opinion on how the Shakespeare page has evolved over time?

4. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Shakespeare page in terms of its current form and content?

5. Who would you say are the target readers for this page?

6. What have been the advantages and/or the frustrations of working on the Shakespeare page?

7. What are your reflections on the process of wiki-engagement in terms of connection, community and collaboration?

8. In your view, are there any other questions that ought to be considered?

Many thanks for taking the time to read this! TheoryofSexuality (talk) 17:30, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

[edit]

Your edit-warring on Tea Party movement is unacceptable. The edit you reinserted is an extremely obvious NPOV violation (presenting a negative evaluative opinion as an undisputed fact and promoting it to the lead as if it were part of the definition), and it has no backing on the talk page. Please self-revert, or you will almost certainly face sanctions under the Arbitration Committee's WP:discretionary sanctions rules for this topic area. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:18, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to Tea Party movement. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you inappropriately edit pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page.

Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.

Contested edits

[edit]

Please review I see that you've had some edits which other users may find objectionable and have created articles which you assert are "clearly notable" without appropriate sources. I suggest for your sake as well as other users' that you review WP:NOTABLE, WP:SOURCE, and maybe a few other bedrock policies and guidelines. There's no purpose in you putting in work to make articles and edits that will inevitably be deleted or reverted. I don't know you personally but language like the ones in these edit summaries will simply not be that welcoming to others, so it's going to cause friction. If you want to respond, please alert me on my talk. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:12, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 8

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Poyntz Tyler, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Episcopal High School. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Super duper pooper scoopers

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Super duper pooper scoopers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Proposed deletion of Koko Jones

[edit]

The article Koko Jones has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Jeffrey C. Hogue

[edit]

The article Jeffrey C. Hogue has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

The only external link in the page is promotional and does not mention Hogue or source any of the content

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bettina Jonic

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Bettina Jonic requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Hello, Scottandrewhutchins. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:51, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

September 2018

[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at Twitter. If you add content about your Twitter block to an article again without first finding consensus on a talk page, you will likely be blocked from editing. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:36, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Anne no Niki - soundtrack.jpg

[edit]

The file File:Anne no Niki - soundtrack.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Anne no Nikki#Soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:06, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed one of your edits to the Glendale, Queens article because your addition to the "Demographics" section is misleading, and because it contains an inappropriate external link to your own blog. The statement you added, The area is plagued by high levels of bigotry and racism. is in reference to a controversy over a proposed homeless shelter. As per WP:NPOV, such controversial information must be described neutrally, not using buzzwords like "plagued", and should be described in as direct a manner as possible, not by using said buzzwords.

Additionally, two of your three sources are opinion pieces, including one that is your own blog. Per WP:ELNO, Blogs, personal web pages and most fansites (negative ones included), except those written by a recognized authority are generally to be avoided, especially those to your own webpage. The same applies to Queens Community Board 5 as well. Seeing as how you're a long-term editor, please take care to avoid these in the future. Thank you. epicgenius (talk) 12:52, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2019 US Banknote Contest

[edit]

US Banknote Contest

November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Saturday Nov 16: Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ Metropolitan Museum of Art

[edit]

Saturday November 16, 12:30 pm - 4:30pm: Metropolitan Museum of Art Edit-a-thon

The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday November 16, 2019 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.

[edit]

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Mission to the Unknown, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube or Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:

If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. DonQuixote (talk) 06:28, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for 14th Regiment Armory

Godzilla VHS tapes

[edit]

Wikipedia's coverage of home video releases of various Godzilla films is embarrassing, and everything I do keeps getting reverted. Pretty much all of them can be seen here: http://snakeandboris.blogspot.com/p/ameri.html The WP:RS standards being implemented are nonsense given the images of VHS covers and where one would find reviews of specific VHS editions, but I'm not going to fight anymore.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 03:42, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm reverting your edits as you are adding it from sources that seem to be from fan sites (VHSCollector doesn't suggest its anything but a fan built catalogue). If the VHS releases are important, we can dig it out in the prose. Per MOS:FILM, we are not supposed to be add every single bit, just information that is required. Perhaps finding early home video releases etc could be beneficial, but its not really essential. Perhaps try to focus on updating these Japanese genre films to be more like an article like Matango or something. Andrzejbanas (talk) 03:55, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Pat Bianchi

[edit]

The article Pat Bianchi has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. —S Marshall T/C 15:54, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Scottandrewhutchins (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

What disruptive edits did I continue to make? I read an article about Troy in The Foreigner at Rice when I was in college. This is the only evidence I found that is still live: https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth246542/m1/15/. I was blocked before I found a source. As far as C. Everett Koop. The six-part miniseries is mentioned in Alex McNeil's Total Television: The Comprehensive Guide to Programming from 1948 to the Present. 4th Edition. New York: Penguin, 1996, p. 135. Trying to identify the piece Troy made fun of was genuine, since it was definitely in middle school, which is too early for the six-parter. As far as The Wizard of Oz, I still have the program and can take a picture of it (I was the Guardian of the Gate). I don't have the program for Sherlock Holmes. In that version, Watson was played by a girl supposedly selected from the audience, and it was based on "The Red-Headed League." Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 01:30, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Please take the time to take care of yourself, and when you are able to resume editing unimpaired, you may ask to be unblocked then(if before the block expires). 331dot (talk) 08:11, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Chris Fitkin

[edit]

The article Chris Fitkin has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

Unsourced, and no biographical details found in an online search.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Nomination for deletion of Template:Nyman operas

[edit]

Template:Nyman operas has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:32, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Land of Ev

[edit]

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

Element does not have significant coverage in reliable third party sources as mandated by the WP:GNG. A search shows primary sources and passing mentions, nothing to establish WP:Notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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.

Proposed deletion of The Infaceables

[edit]

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

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies)'s section for products requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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.

May 2021

[edit]

Hello, I'm Andrzejbanas. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:59, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Knives of the Avenger, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Andrzejbanas (talk) 03:52, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Two points: Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, you may be blocked from editing. If you want that information added you'll need a proper source. VHSCollector is a fansite and we do not use IMDb as a source on wikipedia per WP:RS/IMDb. I'd suggest reading that and WP:OR and WP:RS before reverting or adding this information again. For example, the information you added with the Kino site as a source did not mention any remaster, a release date of the home video, and other content you mentioned.

Secondly, If you are upset at my reverts, try discussing them with me before just reverting them. If i've broken any rules, please tell me, but I don't believe I have.

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:39, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine Conflict...please fill out my survey?

[edit]

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.

For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Thanks so much,

Death of a Composer

[edit]

I came across this when working on WP:FEB24, looking at unreferenced articles: can you remember what source you used when you created it in 2007? I can't find anything on a bit of Googling, but presumably you had something at the time. PamD 09:59, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I got the information from Peter Greenaway's website. I also used Peter Greenaway's presentation at Butler University, which I attended and have on a VHS tape (you can see the back of my head at the end when it zooms out), which got sent to me by a fan.

WikiProject Oz

[edit]

Hello! I have been in the process of trying to revive WikiProject Oz and have been cleaning up the pages! You seem to have a history with the project dating back to 2006(!). Would you be interested in coming and helping out with the project again?

Please let me know and feel free to add to the page whatever ideas you have. And if you wanted to sign up again as a participant that would be great! SDudley (talk) 02:44, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Please let me know wherever you need assistance. Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 02:50, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! If you can add your name to the participant page that would be great. If you know anything about templates that would be wonderful. I think they need some updating. I made one generally for working on the project. But a further template that emphasizes if someone prefers the Baum or Thompson books would be cool! Do you have any other ideas for templates?

If that is not of interest then if you can think of any good pages to perhaps tag that need some serious updating that would be cool. I think for now the emphasis is on public domain (or soon to be) books rather than the wide variety of Oz adaptations from the 2nd half of the 20th Century to now. Please let me know what you think.
