Al Ramirez

Please reconsider deletion. While being snubbed by local media Al Ramirez has been added the Twitter Suggested User List which signifies some signifigance. He now has 200,000 followers and is cleared ranked as the highest Conservative among all GOP candidates among the TCOT movement. In short time he used the internet to raise his visibility and is a frequent speaker at many GOP clubs in California. There has been more coverage of his campaign's use of Iphone App, one of the first in the nation and could set a new precedent in how campaigns expand the use of technology. He may not have been elected before but the SurveyUSA poll done in November shows him comepetitive in favorables. With 200000 followers and growing at 2K per day there is an audience that may want more information from a reliable and verified source on what little is known. Plus in a state with a 36% Hispanic population and as the only Hispanic on the ballot he could be a major wild card in the election. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.171.235.90 (talk) 21:36, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

The AFD for Al Ramirez was open for seven days. That would have been the appropriate venue for discussion on whether the article should be kept or deleted. The AFD has been closed so posting on my talk page will not change anything. If you believe that the article has been deleted without proper due process, you can discuss this with the closing administrator at his talk page, User talk:Jayjg. If you are still unsatisfied after that, you can request a deletion review, Wikipedia:Deletion review. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 22:38, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Trae Lindley

I've spent a lot of time looking for sources this week and there isn't a snowball in hells chance that article can ever offer notability. Prods are for articles which potentially could be expanded using notable sources. The subject is not worthy of an article and a google search indicates this. I agree there have been way too many deletions of late. Those articles which are notable and have reliable sources to back them up should be expanded or prodded and the blatantly non notable cruft taken to AFD. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 19:19, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh I agree, no worries. The reason why sources couldn't be found to expand it is because ii isn't notable! I am on your side, I try to salvage content first and find sources too, but there are a few articles which jusitifably should be deleted asap like this one where no RS can be found and the subject is of dubious notability. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 19:21, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Isn't that a little backwards? If it is blatantly non-notable, we don't really need more editors to review the situation. Thus instead of AFD, PROD makes more sense. If they appear to be notable but can't be sourced, then AFD and not PROD would be the preferred route so that more editors are aware of the issue. -- Whpq (talk) 19:24, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Whatever, sorry I trod on your toes. Not all prods get deleted you know. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 19:26, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not offended, so there's no apology necessary. I realize that not all PRODs get deleted, but if somebody objects, I have anything I've put on PROD watchlisted so I'd end up taking it to AFD. But in many cases, such as this where it is essentially a drive-by article creation, it doesn't get contested. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 19:30, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I know. But AFD in my view is a more solid way of getting more people to comment on a topic and forming a better consensus of deletion. I think in most cases AFDs can be avoided if sources exist to expand an article. I would speedy this article and would think it probably is speediable but I'd like to see what others think...

Deletion of Boo, Gerald J Tate

Hello Melanie

My name is Gerald J Tate, and I am writing to you regarding the citations and things needed for my Page. I have newspaper copies from five major newspapers in Northern Ireland regarding my work, which I would be happy to send, if you can kindly give me a link. I have also been talking on our major radio stations here, twice on Downtown radio, twice on Radio U-105, and my first book was read out on a weekly thing with radio Star. I also have copies of the Book awards, and I don't self publish now. I have signed a contract with Spinetinglers publishing as they are now representing me. All paperwork copies can be sent if needed. However,I will understand if you still wish to delete my file, but there are some Northern Ireland people on there with just a couple of poems etc, and I've never heard of them. Anyway, I'll leave it up to you to decide. Thank you and all the best.

Eric Bibb

Hi. When I wrote the original piece, the text was a result of collaborative discussions with Bibb's manager. Later, the text was used by him for the web site that you see today. So, while I agree that the deleted parts could be better written, they are most definitely NOT copyvio, as the Wiki text was written first! What can be done? I will try to write the deleted part in a different way, but when I do, please do not jump to a copyvio conclusion again. Thanks. -- ALGRIF talk 15:45, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

• As there is no way for any wikipedia editor to know this, then something should be noted on the article talk page to prevent something like this from happening again. You may want to register this information through WP:OTRS to ensure that other editors are aware that text from the article is not a copyright violation from the artists website. Having said that, I'd also be concerned about working directly with the artist's manager in writing a biogrpahy as a neutral point of view would need to be maintained. As well, the material needs to be sourced, by independent third party reliable sources, which a manager certainly is not. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 15:54, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

GrahamBould

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I routinely cycle through the various CCIs, and every time I note that you are still actively working on Graham Bould, I mentally bow to you. :) There isn't a barnstar big enough for that. I just figured that instead of mentally bowing down, I might as well say so. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:26, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm slowly plowing my way through it. Based on my current rate, I expect that it will be the year 2020 before it's cleared.  :( -- Whpq (talk) 21:02, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

What have you been finding in these recent sections? You know Graham was the first; at this point, we don't even list articles where contributors have only made edits of less than 100k. Some stuff may get past us, but with two dozen open CCIs, we have to balance the reality of the work force with the need for due diligence. If things have been clear lately, it may be time to put that one to bed and congratulate you heartily for a job very, very well done. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 21:23, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

In plowing through the backlog, the edits made tend to fall into one of three categories.

1. Creating long lists (not a creative work) so no issues.

2. Copyeditting existing text (contributed by others) such as slight changes to wording, adding paragraph breaks, adding wikilinks, and adding images. Again no issues with this.

3. Reverting vandalism. Removing text like "HA!HA!HA! TUNA TASTES GOOD!!!!!!!OMG!!!!!" is a good thing!

There was only one edit out of all the ones I've been going through that was an edit of substance that added text to the article. I couldn't find a source for the the text but removed it as a presumptive copyvio. I'd say that that is is very unlikely anything of significance based on the articles I've been reviewing. -- Whpq (talk) 21:50, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Then I think it's time to put this one to bed and free you up for more productive things. :D I'll archive it accordingly. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 21:55, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Survey on quality control policies

As part of a project funded by the European Commission (QLectives), we are collecting and analysing data to study quality control mechanisms and inclusion/deletion policies in Wikipedia.

AfD nomination of Claudia Costa

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Claudia Costa. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Claudia Costa (3rd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:06, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

PROD of Kibinda

You proposed deletion of Kibinda because "there are no articles to disambiguate." I originally planned to redirect Kibinda to Ibinda (Kibinda is an alternate name for the language) but, because there were a number of different uses of "Kibinda", I created the dab page. This is not all that uncommon at for dab pages (cf., Nan-Hsi, Orthos, Rusich). Is there policy basis for your position? — AjaxSmack 00:57, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

The examples you show are also rather poor. But in any case, per WP:DISAMBIG, "Disambiguation is required whenever, for a given word or phrase on which a reader might use the "Go button", there is more than one existing Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead." Kibinda doesn't distinguish between any articles because those article do not exist. Untile they exist, then there is no need for a disambiguation page. I did miss the language because of the way the entries were set up. This actually should be a redirect as you originally were going to do. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll withdraw the PROD and redirect. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 10:28, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

The quote you give says "article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead" but doesn't say that article need be solely about that subject. It could redirect to a list or a larger more inclusive entity. Merely having no articles of a particular title doesn't necessarily obviate the need for a dab page. I won't argue with you on this one except that, while I see the need to keep dab pages well pruned (I do it a good bit myself), I think the entries at Kibinda were warranted and the fact that the articles don't exist is due more to geobias than to lack of notability. — AjaxSmack 02:55, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

There are two tags present. {{wikify}} identifies issues with formatting. Carter Fleming Group is missing internal wikilinks (links to other articles on wikipedia), and does not conform to the manual of style, WP:MOS. {{primarysources}} identifies that the sourcing of the article is to WP:PRIMARY SOURCES. The sourcing present in the article is eight references to the company's own web site, linkedin.com which is self-published as well, and the companies twitter account which is also self-published (see WP:SELFPUB). As such, all of the sourcing is primary. -- Whpq (talk) 15:34, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Once again my entry for Bandwagon Music is to be deleted.

I am beginning to think there is some kind of conspiracy against Bandwagon Music!

The discussion as to why the article is being deleted is being held at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bandwagon music. You should make your case for keeping the article there. Note that you argument above amounts to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, and is not a convincing reason for keeping your article.

Reply - The criteria for speedy deletion are very narrow. An article need not meet notability to escape speedy deletion. Looking at the specifics of WP:A7, "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source." There is no requirement for there to be sources supporting the claim. That is why a speedy deletion is not appropriate. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 18:35, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Spatial index

Hi, Why not "wikify", but "unref"? The term "spatial index" is common, e.g. Grid (spatial index), so I don't see the need for references. But the article is a bullet list, that needs wikification. I'd btw. also concur with merging it into spatial databases, actually; I see little benefit of keeping the indexes separate currently (given that there is no text). The properties of the individual indexes can still be discussed on the actual index structure pages. --Chire (talk) 17:19, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

The list is already wikilinked. Using a list format for that is appropriate. I'm not sure what [[WP:|wikification]] you are looking to have done. As for merging to spatial database, that actually sounds like a good idea. Fell free to boldly merge it. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 17:25, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 20:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

A few days later Osborn tries to kill Kanarack, but when he´s is nearly dead a third person enters the scene. He shoots Kanarack and the last information Osborn could get from Kanarack was that he was murdering Osborn´s father for hire of Erwin Scholl. Osborn tells McVey about Scholl. Out of McVey´s researches arises that Osborn´s father invented a scalpel that can be used at degrees of absolute zero and that in the same year he was killed a few other inventors were killed, whose inventions were all about surgery at extremely high or low temperatures and all vanished. Because of that McVey and his investigation team have a suspicion that Scholl and his people might belong to an organization that´s working on surgery making it possible to combine deep-frozen body parts and to thaw it so the person is alive.

Time passes, and McVey finds out about Elton Lybarger and a ceremony that should be held in Berlin. During this in the main hall of the building Elton Lybarger is giving the speech. Suddenly all doors close and all people inside the main hall are gassed with cyanide gas. Right after the cyanide attack the building is set to fire and Osborn nearly perishes. After Osborn followed Von Holden, hte only remaining organization member, to Switzerland and is nearly killed McVey gives Osborn a VCR tape, on which Osborn finds a whole confession of Elton Lybarger´s physician. He confesses having experienced the surgery on Lybarger, because they were searching for a person, whose attributes and fingerprints were as much as the same as Adolf Hitler´s, and having helped the organization, who was trying to build a new third Reich, to raise Lybarger´s two “nephews”, the perfect Aryans, who were raised with him since they were young. According to Salettl one of them should be the new leader after having undergone an operation. Osborn can´t remember exactly what happened in Switzerland, but then the scene replays in his mind. He sees how Van holden falls into a crevasse and how he opens the package Von Holden had been carrying with him all the time, and it´s the deep-frozen head of Adolf Hitler...

I´m sorry that my article was too long before, but I´m not a native speaker and I´m only learning English in school, and so it was pretty difficult to keep it short because the book is pretty long.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dr. Lisa Christiansen

I am requesting that you consider reviewing the above mentioned article and consider recommending that the article is kept, based on copyediting and established notability. I initially opposed the inclusion of this article on Wikipedia due to blatant promotional tone. The article is no longer written in a promotional tone and cannot be considered spam. The article was copy edited, but still lacked content establishing her notability.

After extensive work on the article, review of her books, and research of books and magazines that mention her, I realized that notability is established, based on the fact that a book has been written entirely about her. WP:BASIC states:

A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.

The book, Gi–Dee–Thlo–Ah–Ee, of the Blue People Clan, was written in 1974, independent of any involvement by Christiansen, published by the Cherokee Nation, with copies in the Library of Congress, which includes this book and noted in their catalog and listings. Gi–Dee–Thlo–Ah–Ee is Christiansen's native Cherokee name given at birth.

I am now recommending that this article be kept, due to established notability as the subject of a published book, reliable and independent of the subject. Christiansen was eight years old when this book was written. Her notability was established according to the Nation upon the death of her mother, since Christiansen was then the last surviving descendant of Sequoyah. I would like to invite you to review the article and consider recommending that the article is kept, based on corresponding criteria WP:BASIC that establishes notability. It is my opinion that the article needs additional references. However, notability according to policy has now been established. Thank you. Cindamuse (talk) 17:17, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

chrissie maher

I have recently noted that you have removed some unsuitable text from this biography. Could you please have a look at this piece of text about chrissie maher and see if it is suitable for a biography page

Chrissie Maher has not always been on the receiving end of favourable comment. The Daily Mail (4 November 1997) and the Manchester Evening News (3 November 1997) reported an Industrial Tribunal case between her company and a former employee, M J Nobbs, in which it was said that Maher had spread false rumours of an affair between Mr Nobbs (who was married) and another married company employee. The Industrial Tribunal found in Mr Nobbs' favour, and its chairwoman Miss Woolley was unusually forthright in her criticisms of Maher, whom she branded an "inconsistent, changeable and unreliable witness" who had lied repeatedly on oath. Miss Woolley said, "We find Mrs Maher was lying to us", and referred to "the actions of Mrs Maher in lying to the applicant...". Mrs Christine Nobbs, an infant-school teacher, told the Daily Mail of the 'hideous pain, anger and distress' the rumours had caused her and her husband. 'It might have broken others, but we have been married for 21 years and I know my husband.'

these allegations are unsourced and i do see that they are suitable for a biography page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martinos155 (talk • contribs) 16:37, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

James Todd (Canadian settler)

I trust your judgement removing the wikify tag. Senior Editor II? The new user Markiewp has been on a frenzy the past month removing wikify tags, two thousand or so. I've been here since February and I don't consider myself qualified to make the call of which articles can lose the wikify tags. People work hard going through articles looking for which ones need wikifying. I don't suppose someone could review the many edits where he removed the tags - am I being wrong in this?

Maybe the instruction in wiki final check " Remove the {{wikify}} tag " should be modified. Slightsmile (talk) 17:10, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I encourage you to be WP:BOLD and remove the {{wikify}} tag yourself if you've done the work and feel that it is complete. If you are unsure, and would like a second opinion, you can drop a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wikify and have somebody review your work.

Specifically on James Todd (Canadian settler), I removed the tag because it seemed to have a reasonable number of links. Perhaps there may be a couple of more links that could be added, but all articles on Wikipedia are subject to improvement. As for reviewing user:Markiewp's work, I already see that another experienced editor has provided him with advice. Unless you think that there is something wrong with what Markiewp is doing, I don't see any need to review. I picked a coupe of articles at random and the removal of the wikification tag looked appropriate. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 17:28, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough, again - I trust your judgement on this issue and am ready to move on to bigger and better things. Just one final thing, what do you think of these - Iakovos Nafpliotis and Crow's Nest Natural Area Preserve ? Slightsmile (talk) 17:47, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Rather sloppy. In the case of Iakovos Nafpliotis, I'm not familiar with the subject matter, but the large number of red links introduced is probably not good. A red link is useful only if there should be an article about the subject. As for Crow's Nest Natural Area Preserve, it looks like the links were added without due care. For example, "hickories" should have been piped to "hickory". -- Whpq (talk) 18:04, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm assuming you looked at the article histories - Markiewp. I'm not trying to be judgemental about anyone, I just feel that the tags were put there for a reason. If you look at my contribs - I think I'm bold enough. But also have to remember that ultimately we're a team. I hope people don't remove tags as some kind of trophy. Slightsmile (talk) 18:16, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes I did check the article history and realize it was Markiewp who did the work. He has already had one editor contact him about his work. I don't want to dogpile on. I suggest you keep an eye on the work and if it continues to be slopppy, you can remind him to take more care with his edits. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 18:21, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm not an admin and I don't plan on watching this person - much. I might go through his earliest contribs from time to time and see if there's anything to fix. Other than that I think I'm done with this. Thanks for looking at this. Cheers Slightsmile (talk) 18:45, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Nevada Museum of Art

Hello WHPQ,

Over a year ago I updated the wiki page for the Nevada Museum of Art. I am the Communications Director at the Museum and hoped to correct inaccurate information and add further information to the page. I did so and have since noticed that the user "whpq" - which I believe is you - has systematically deleted 90% of the information I added.

Can you please let me know why this has been done as part of the "wikify" process? I don't understand what action, additions, text, etc that we added was either incorrect or offensive?

I am new to the Wikipedia format but would appreciate your explanation so that we can fix and update our page ASAP and properly. Our goal is to share information about the Museum with the wiki world.

Kind regards, Rachel at the Nevada Museum of Art Rmart123 (talk) 21:13, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

The version prior to my edits was promotional in nature. Wikpedia is an encyclopedia, not a web hosting service for the museum. Admission prices, hours operation, and all that other stuff is more appropriate for the museum web site which is provided as an external link. -- Whpq (talk) 21:17, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi there - I understand completely now...I was under the impression that the more information the better but I do see now what you mean by using it as a hosting service of which we have no intention of doing - apologies :) I have looked at other examples of museums on Wikipedia and notice that they have history, overview, collections sections...i added information like that to our page for the wiki community but it was also deleted. How can we update the information without seeming to be "selling" the museum - we are interested in only educating. Your help is GREATLY appreciated! We would love to have information as robust as say "the Metropolitan Museum" page, but are not sure how to go about it. Many Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmart123 (talk • contribs) 23:01, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
