Incorrect Information

Good morning SPhilbrick,

I corrected David's weight to 160lbs and it keeps reverting back to 150 lbs. How do I keep it as 160lbs? Leader9091Leader9091 (talk) 11:44, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia works on the principle of Wikipedia:Verifiability. Editor Tewapack notes that the Stanford profile says 150, and you have provided no reference to support 160.

You are new, so may not know how to figure out why Tewapack made the change; if you click on history, you will see the edit summary (good editors use edit summaries precisely for this reason). The edit summary says "weighs 150 according to Stanford profile" And indeed, it does. Oddly, even if you looked at a scale with David standing on it, and read 160, that would not justify inclusion, we want a published source. If you do find a source, then there will be two conflicting sources. In that case, you should initiate a discussion on the article talk page to discuss which is the better source.

I see, as predicted, that "golfer" is the predicted disambiguation term, but David Chung (golf) remains as a redirect, so that should help with search engine results.--SPhilbrick T 14:08, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

BGSU

I just wanted to let you know that on the map, you're showing Bowling Green in another state. Bowling Green is in Ohio a little south of Toledo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.58.118.138 (talk) 16:18, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Help me out if you would. I have Bowling Green located on a map in 2006_NCAA_Women's_Division_I_Basketball_Tournament. It looks like it is in north west Ohio. It looks right. Are you talking about a different map?--SPhilbrick T 17:03, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I also have Bowling Green located on a map in 2005 NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Tournament. That one is also the school in Ohio, and looks like it is located in the right place.

I also have Bowling Green located on a map in 2009 NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Tournament, but that is not Bowling Green State University, it is Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green KY. Also looks right.

Can you identify the map you think is wrong?--SPhilbrick T 17:12, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Riverside Magic

Good Evening,

I would like to create a page for Riverside Magic, the club has been running now for over 10 years and I would like to document the clubs history and the local players that have contributed to the team.

I hope that you would be happy for me to do this and trust that I only have an interest in providing information about the club.

Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martinwilson156 (talk • contribs) 03:16, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, Re: Lot's Wife

Thank you Sphilbrick for reverting the Lot's Wife page back to how it originally was. I was upset by the earlier change, but my editorial credentials were of no match to User: Lambiam to make any reverts or comments myself. Jasonasosa (talk) 18:37, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm glad there were others in support of this revert change and that it was done so quickly. Your explanation of the change was beautifully said and far superior to Lambiam's. Jasonasosa (talk) 19:35, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

The "Poietics" page

I gave him the link to donating copyrighted materials because I have found that when users claim to own the content, they commonly are telling the truth. It's nice to see that you are a thorough admin and actually read the article and the summary before deleting :) . I occasionally see users tag a page as A1/A3 30 seconds after creation, and then an admin deletes it 10 seconds later. Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:20, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. I can fully understand the frustration of an editor who is trying to use their own words, so I try to watch for that. --SPhilbrick T 16:10, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

St. Adalbert Parish, Providence

Both article had been renamed to the new one, so old ones should remove it.--WlaKom (talk) 16:05, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Of course you can leave it. But I think, if someone corrects the name of the article, the old one should remove it and relinked. --WlaKom (talk) 16:21, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

PS. Problem started, when people renamed name of the articles from parish do church, not understanding that article about the parish is article about the area, and the church is just a building belonging to the parish and not to the diocese.--WlaKom (talk) 16:42, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

OK, that makes sense. --SPhilbrick T 16:44, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Guttman

Hello, Mr. or Ms. Philbrick, and Happy New Year! Since you last reviewed my draft article on Howard M. Guttman, I have made further changes. I have completely rewritten the Professional Accomplishments section, and I think that the new copy is much more in keeping with Wiki style. It focuses more on Guttman's career and the influences that shaped his thinking. Can you please take a look at the revisions and let me know if you think they are an improvement. If so, I think I will try to "go live" with the article and see what happens! As always, thanks for your time and consideration. Dale Corey Dalecorey (talk) 17:57, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I will try to take a look later today or this evening.--SPhilbrick T 19:53, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

SHM-CD

Hello, You need to stop messing with pages that you have no knowledge about. You removed the SHM-CD page based on your opinion. You have no knowledge about SHM-CD and the Audiophile world. Why did you even mess with it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.23.216.6 (talk) 09:00, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, but you are mistaken when you say I removed it based upon my own opinion. Understandable, as the processes are Wikipedia, while sensible, are not always obvious to newcomers. Someone else noted some concerns with the article. The process is to leave the notice up for a week. Anyone, you, or any other reader in the world could say, no, I disagree with the concerns, and the deletion notice would have been removed. Not a single person in the world felt that it should not be deleted, so I carried out the deletion. That was over a month ago.--SPhilbrick T 13:12, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I believe I did protest you to leave the page alone but you ignored my plea or I did not ask in the right place...still don't know how to do it:) Anyway, just because others did not respond(perhaps they did not know how) does not call for a removal of that entry. The SHM-CD is a very popular "format" in Japan and for collectors around the world therefore it is important it remain on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.23.216.6 (talk) 18:24, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

I reviewed the article. The comment on the proposal for deletion read "This is a marketing term for what is otherwise a regular CD. As such, it is not notable enough to warrant it's own article."

I agree with that statement. There were only two references, one from the company/standard itself, so that doesn't independently support notability. That leaves a single review, not even in English.

If you will review the guidelines for Notability, you will read:

If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list. (emphasis added0.

One reference does not qualify as significant coverage in this case.--SPhilbrick T 18:40, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

As an aside, you said the format is popular. Did you read the article you cited?

Q How great is the demand for SHM-CDs?

A. Relatively low. --SPhilbrick T 18:47, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Carolina Doty at AfD

Thought you might be interested in this one: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Caroline Doty. This article needs a sh*t-ton of cleanup and expansion (and also the fact that she now has lost), but I argued that it still passes GNG. Jrcla2 (talk) 03:25, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

jeremiestrother

Hey! If you're up to it, I could use a Wikipedia mentor. I understand the "I'm swamped, but I'll try it anyway" thing. So, where do I begin? I might suggest that you have a look at my past edits (please exclude the city/City thing!) to see the kinds of things I can do. However, I would like to be able to do more. How, considering the things I know how to do, can I be more useful to Wikipedia? Regards, Jeremiestrother (talk) 08:13, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Hossein Vahid Dastjerdi

Nice catch.

I'd just added a sticky-PROD, and then noticed it was copyvio...and was about to tag.

Glenwood Park wiki page

Hi, I'm the web master for the Glenwood Park neighborhood association. We'd like to reproduce material from our Green Building page within our wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LHeyns (talk • contribs) 15:26, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I just sent you a message on your talk page. Let me know if you have further questions. Unfortunately, I have to inform you, that while I did not spend much time looking at the article, after confirming that there was a copyright issue, it may have other challenges. For example, it must demonstrate Notability, and I don't think it did.--SPhilbrick T 15:31, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I've added a message to the source page to show that we are authorized owners of the material and that we grant permission to reproduce on wikipedia. http://glenwoodpark.com/item/49678 To establish notability, please view list of third-party articles related to Glenwood Park: http://glenwoodpark.com/item/23308 Glenwood Park is noteworthy because it was the first green New Urban neighborhood built in Atlanta. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LHeyns (talk • contribs) 15:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I have some concerns about the wording, but let me check with one of the experts.--SPhilbrick T 15:58, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Brass Rat images

I believe that they qualified for speedy because they can't not be copyvios — the designs are obviously copyrighted, and there's no way (except for OTRS proof) that these could be free images. Moreover, some of the images are copyrighted photographs, thus making them violations both of the photographers' copyright and of the ring-makers' copyright. Yes, the uploader should have been notified, but that serves more of a warning purpose, since virtually all images marked as copyvios are copyvios. If the uploader has a good reason to say that they're not copyvios, an appeal can be filed at WP:DRV — proof of a free license is a great way to get a copyright-related deletion overturned. However, we need to be careful with copyvios; because image deletions can always be overturned, it's safest to delete them now and pick up the pieces later. If it weren't such a big problem, our copyvio deletion process would require several days' waiting, as some other image deletion processes (e.g. deletions for no source, no license, invalid fair use, etc.) do currently. Does this answer all your questions? If not, please tell me what I forgot to answer. Nyttend (talk) 16:42, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Distribution 360

Hi,

A page I created was removed and I would like to get a copy of the content. The page was for Distribution 360 which was removed for "unambiguous advertising or promotion." First off, this page was not meant to sell anything it was merely meant to be an informational page about the company. The very essence of the company is both buying and selling multi-media content and distributing it internationally, so I fail to see how deleting the page for simply saying what the company does is in any way appropriate.

If you could send me or point me in the direction of someone that is able to send me the copy from the deleted page, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

WikiProject University of Connecticut

This was something I was thinking of trying the organize and wanted your opinion on. Right now there is no one project that covers all of the UConn-related articles. WikiProject Connecticut doesn't cover athletes (quick example: Svetlana Abrosimova) or events (such as college football bowl game) not based in Connecticut, and the sport WikiProjects naturally cover only their particular sport. I think it would be helpful to have a project where we could coordinate development of all of the UConn articles in one place. I checked Category:University of Connecticut and counted over 500 articles within it and its subcategories. I'm not envisioning massive independent peer review processes or anything like that; just having a central place to coordinate, as well as setting up WP:Article Alerts, would be sufficient for a start. Your thoughts? –Grondemar 18:37, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm interested. I'm wary over over specialization of projects, but where I've seen problems is where there's literally a dozen for fewer. 500 sounds like critical mass. Plus, I'm not a UConn grad, so I won't have a conflict of interest :).--SPhilbrick T 19:22, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I created the proposal page and a draft of the WikiProject, see below:

You are cordially invited to join the newly-proposed WikiProject University of Connecticut, designed to promote collaboration and improvement on UConn-related articles on Wikipedia. Specifically, the following articles are proposed to be within the new WikiProject's scope:

The University itself, including the campuses, notable buildings, notable academic programs, and notable professors;
The Connecticut Huskies athletic teams, including the men's basketball, women's basketball, and football teams, their coaches, players, facilities, and history;
Notable alumni, including both athletes and non-athletes.

Currently no one WikiProject covers all UConn-related content:

WikiProject Universities covers only the academic-side of the university;
WikiProject College basketball and WikiProject College football cover only articles from their respective sports;
WikiProject Connecticut does not cover articles related to UConn that are about places or people outside Connecticut (for example: bowl games such as the 2010 PapaJohns.com Bowl and alumni such as Svetlana Abrosimova).

WikiProject University of Connecticut, when created, will be a centralized location to coordinate monitoring and improvement of UConn-related articles.

Winnifred Oldfred Actie

In another twist in this rather strange article history, the creator of the page herself has now added the link to the original text that we couldn't find. It's a copyvio of http://www.thevoiceslu.com/let_and_op/2011/january/25_01_11/Who_is_Oldfred.htm. I have therefore re-tagged it for CSD. Travelbird (talk) 08:17, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes man?

Hello. If I am following your recent actions correctly, Yes Man (disambiguation) now redirects to Yes man which is turn redirects to Yes Man, the actual disambiguation page. However, the first item on the disambiguation page is Yes man; if a reader clicks on that link, it takes them back to the same disambiguation page again. I'm guessing that is probably not the result you intended. --R'n'B ([[User

My bad for assuming someone set it up correctly.

Yes Man is now a real dab page, so I removed the unneeded redirect from Yes man, and deleted the Yes Man (disambiguation) [age.

I think we are all OK now, yes, man?--SPhilbrick T 20:19, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Amazon Falls

I put up a page for the Canadian Film Amazon Falls. This is the first time I have ever created a Wikipedia page. I was given the poster image by the Director Katrin Bowen and producer Darren Reiter. I will resubmit the poster with proper Copyright clearances for Wikipedia once I completely understand what it is you need.

Everything on the page has been given to me to post by it's owners/creators.

Hi Sphilbrick

Thank you for enlightening me about what I need to do. We are working on revising the text for the Wiki. I will post another talk when I am reposting. As I mentioned, this is the 1st time doing this, so your patience is appreciated.

As far as the poster is concerned, IMDB has it on their site as well, so we will just reference that location for it.

Adland deletion

Hi,

I see the article has been deleted because of supposed copyright issues, but it is all fact based and was part of content that had already been on wikipedia up until last week. In addition, I had made modifications to the article from it's prior state to update information. The facts and content which had been updated by other authors had been live on wikipedia last week, but for some reason prior the page was deleted. As a moderator of Adland.tv I had been trying to help improve the article when I found it removed from wikipedia. I used information I had copied and pasted while working "offline" on additions and reposted the whole article.

I am also confused because there is no content that is the same as what I have posted in the Adland article here where it is saying there is a copyright infringement issue: http://mashpedia.com/Adland — Preceding unsigned comment added by Missadvert (talk • contribs) 15:55, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Please advise how to proceed.

Thanks! Missadvert (talk) 15:50, 29 January 2011 (UTC)missadvert

I will look into it immediately.--SPhilbrick T 15:55, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure what happened. What is clear is that the deletion log shows I deleted the page this morning. However, I don't recall looking at the page until now, and do not recall looking at the supposed source of material, something I always do.

I'm not familiar with Mashpedia, but it seems like an aggregator, and may have held the exact material simply because it was a mirror.

In any event, I restored the article to the version at the time of the tagging, and removed the tags.--SPhilbrick T 16:16, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. That's what I thought after trying to figure out what the issue was. Very strange. But I appreciate your help. Missadvert (talk) 16:19, 29 January 2011 (UTC)missadvert

The article was deleted for lacking notability. I've added it to AfD in the hopes that it will be deleted this time and then have a creation lock on it. GameOn (talk) 06:57, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Deletion review: The 50 Most Loathsome Americans

I am informed [1] that I should place these comments here...

In regards to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The 50 Most Loathsome Americans, while I was sleeping, within 3.5 hrs of the article being listed for deletion it was gone, which gave me NO time to reply.

So, as per WP:DRV, this is Step 1 of Instructions:

"discuss the matter with the deleting administrator and try to resolve it with him or her first."

The request for deletion and the five votes cited:

not notable

Always an easy charge to make but work to defend against, I will cite the following as beginnings of references based on a simple Google search:

[2] [3] [4]

This is perhaps its most significant issue, but also one that should not have resulted in a speedy deletion.

"attacking"/G10

The page is not an attack because it merely restates the fact that the named individuals were listed in the "Loathsome" articles produced by The Beast. That an individual appeared in six different annual lists is a simple FACT. That The Beast used the word "Loathsome" in the title of the page is a simple fact. That a fact may be unflattering should not be criteria for removal.

"implicitly violates BLP"

A late edit (which I cannot quote directly because it was deleted!) mentioned that The Beast listed their reasons for inclusion of each individual. That an individual was listed by The Beast is again a simple fact and not slanderous.

Moshe Aaron Yeshiva High School

Hello, Here's what I think happened. A new user tried to start an article about a notable topic, a secondary school, and misunderstood how to format the heading on their first edit of the article. They blanked the page to start over, and less than 60 seconds later, it was up for speedy deletion. They repeatedly tried to fix things but were hit by four speedies in 20 minutes. Now the article is gone. Am I missing something? Cullen328 (talk) 16:58, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Sounds plausible. We need to let the editor know. I'll look.--SPhilbrick T 18:17, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

According to Raymie, there were also copyvio issues due to content being cut and pasted from the school's website. It seems no one tried very hard to figure out what was going on, greet the user and suggest paraphrasing as an alternative, or licensing the website language through OTRS. I will offer help to the user (if they are still around). It would be nice if an administrator could take a few minutes to help.Cullen328 (talk) 18:39, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Dear SPhilbrick: Re the article on Howard M. Guttman: I made all the changes that you suggested in your last message. How do I copy the article before going live with it? DaleDalecorey (talk) 16:28, 1 February 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dalecorey (talk • contribs)

Please learn how to add comments to a talk page, ask if you aren't sure, and I'll be happy to explain.--SPhilbrick T 17:05, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

I created a copy for you. It is at User:Dalecorey/copy Howard M. Guttman. (If you meant an offwiki copy, then just click edit, copy everything and paste it in a file somewhere.)

You should now go to User:Dalecorey/draft Howard M. Guttman, click on the down arrow next to the Star (next to View History), and click on "move".

That brings up a page, with a box suggesting a new title. Change it from User:Dalecorey/draft Howard M. Guttman to Howard M. Guttman.

In the reason box put whatever you want, such as "draft started in user space, now ready for main space"

Then click on "Move Page"

Then let's see what happens.--SPhilbrick T 17:16, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello

Hi, my name is DarkJak495. But you can call me DJ. I was wonderng if you could take a look at the article: The Ruins of Gorlan. I want to make it a GA, but I am stuck. Can you please do what you can to help me? I would be gratefully thankful. Please respond on my talkpage, or the Ruins of Gorlan talk page. Cheers!UserDarkJak495 talk orange 20:25, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Can you try to get it up to B class at least?UserDarkJak495 talk orange 20:42, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm puzzled that you contacted me. I'll take it as flattery, but I'm puzzled. I help a lot at Requests for feedback, but that's for people who are brand-new and need some basics. I've never formally been involved in helping someone move up a class (other than from Delete to keep). I've never assessed an article (again, other than keep versus delete). I hope to work in that area sometime, but I need experience with my own editing, and getting my own articles assessed and improved before I undertake to give others advice. Sorry. Chzz is probably a better choice.--SPhilbrick T 20:52, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I have contacted Chzz already. Anyone else you can think of?UserDarkJak495 talk orange 21:28, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, no, this isn't my area of expertise.--SPhilbrick T 21:39, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
