User talk:23skidoo

BEFORE LEAVING ME A MESSAGE please read the following (UPDATED FEB 16, 2010):

If you wish to contact me privately on an issue, please use the "E-mail this user" button. I have no choice but to ignore all personal e-mails sent to me that do not clearly indicate your Wikipedia username as I can't do anything without that information (unless of course I know you).

Four things to note:

• I have no interest in debating the keeping of articles or images that I have uploaded. If current Wikipedia rules forbid an article or image that I uploaded or created in good faith at a time when such things were allowed, delete away (or seek consensus from others). All I ask is that the WP:AFD process be used rather than WP:PROD, as I find the latter insulting. I've never created nonsense articles. If an article I created is deleted, please feel free to pass along the URL of its Deletionpedia archive.
• I give permission to visitors to this talk page to delete "Image rationale" bot notifications, newsletters, polls, and other "non-discussion" threads. I have no desire to archive them, and will probably delete them myself before archiving the current page anyway.
• My opinions re: Articles for Deletion are generally not up for debate. I do not watchlist those discussions. I leave my opinion and move on and I'm well aware my opinions are not shared by others. AFD is not a democratic vote anyway. Any followup that doesn't include a link to the AFD discussion in question will be ignored.
• I'll reply to you on your own talk page unless you request differently.

Bot notices (including image-upload warnings) are generally not archived unless discussion ensues. The warnings I receive are generally due to images I've uploaded in the past having been replaced by new versions (and therefore orphaned) or for images I uploaded in good faith under previous Wikipedia image use policy; I do not support subsequent changes to the policy and no longer upload images here, so any warnings should be for images uploaded prior to the summer of 2007 that I no longer care less about.

Please leave new comments at the bottom of the page. Thanks!

Pedro II of Brazil

23skidoo, I am sorry to bother you, but I need help now and I'm finding none. In the article Pedro II of Brazil there is a new editor who insists on adding "last names" to the emperor, although western royals do not have last names. And even though I have pointed him several times that the sources says that he did not have last name the editor insist on adding it with no source or anything to back his claim. Not only that, but now he is simply changing the meaning of quotations taken directly from a book! Could you please do something about it? Please, do not tell me to look for help on arbitration, or for someone else. I have already done that and no one does absolutely nothing. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 18:51, 23 February 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. According to our records, you participated in a large number of AfD. We are currently soliciting editors with a long record of participation in AfD discussions to send us their feedback via a very informal survey.

The survey takes less than 5 minutes and is available at this URL. Should you have any questions about this project, feel free to get in touch.

Thanks for your help! --DarTar (talk) 10:38, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Adding Machine: Collected Essays

The article The Adding Machine: Collected Essays has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced for 3½ years, fails WP:V.

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

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Stifle (talk) 10:49, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

FYI, I'm fairly certain that no rule or guideline compels you to open an AFD discussion when you remove a PROD tag (particularly since you want to keep the article). All you're expected to do is give a good reason in the edit summary why you're removing the PROD. (If anything, it's up to the person who added PROD in the first place whether or not to continue at AFD.) Again, just FYI... Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:30, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:AnnMargrock.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:AnnMargrock.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:01, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:AnnMargrock.jpg

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

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Survey on gender

Hi! I'm Liria Veronesi (User:Akoha77) and, together with Paolo Massa (User:Phauly), I'm starting an empirical research on "Gender and votes in requests for adminship". For this reason, we need to know the gender of Wikipedians who were candidated to become admins.

We tried looking for the templates User:UBX/male and User:UBX/female but only 4 admins use it. We also used the API for getting the gender field in the profile but, out of 1744 admins, only around 400 have filled this field. But we would benefit from a larger coverage, i.e. possibly knowing the gender of 100% of candidates.

So, after asking for advise to 3 admins and receiving 2 positive replies (1 and 2), we decided to try to ask directly to Wikipedians.

Thus, would you be so kind to write your gender [Male / Female / Other], together with a text comment if you want, on my talk page at User_talk:Akoha77? If you prefer to send me this information privately, you can send me an email, the information will be kept confidential and never shared.

Thanks! Akoha77 (talk) 12:31, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Otherworld tv series from 1985

Hi,

For twenty-five years I have wished I could have had the good fortune to have been able to see the remaining five episodes of the 'otheworld' TV series. You appear to be a possible source of information that might result in finding and fulfilling my wish to see the concluding episodes for this 1985 tv series. I gather that your life is full of other corncerns beyond that of helping some unknown inquirer. I simply wanted to ask you what, if anything, that you could tell me on the chance that you might be able to help me in my quest. Unlike the series, time is running out for me. I would offer you my heartfelt thanks and gratitude for any insight from you that you could spare when time permits.

Talk:Juan Williams

I don't understand your revert. Apart from the archived discussion from last year and the previous years, the material you restored was never discussed on Talk:Juan Williams but on User talk:Davidpatrick who moved it to the talk page.[1] Since the article talk page is not used to discuss editors, can you explain why you restored it? Viriditas (talk) 04:29, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

In addition to restoring a discussion about editors that never took place on the original talk page, you also restored a thread from a year ago that claims Williams was part of a "sex scandal". I'm having great difficulty why you would show up out of the blue and do this. Could you explain? Viriditas (talk) 04:43, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Pending an actual explanation, I've archived the old sex scandal thread claim from a year ago (there was no sex scandal, and we should not be promoting false commentary about BLP's on a talk page) and removed the off-topic discussion that has nothing to do with improving the article. I can't imagine why you thought it was good to restore these things. Viriditas (talk) 04:48, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

So, you've returned after a four month vacation to restore false allegations against a BLP and to restore personal attacks on editors and off topic comments moved to the talk page without my permission? No, that's not right. You'll need to explain your reason for disrupting the talk page to someone else. I've removed it. I'm happy you've returned, but I would like to see some constructive edits from you instead. Viriditas (talk) 05:36, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

 ???

Did you really just block Viriditas (talk · contribs) for calling you a "meat puppet" ([2])? Because a) he didn't actually do that, and b) if he had done that, it's generally frowned upon to block people for perceived insults directed at one's own person. I guess I'm also confused about why you're edit-warring to restore clearly inappropriate material to an article talk page, and then blocking the person you're edit-warring with. I'm having a really hard time understanding why Viriditas shouldn't be unblocked. Can you clarify? MastCell ^Talk 06:27, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Looks like a bad decision to me (speaking as an uninvolved observer).--SPhilbrickT 13:59, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Ditto. Plus it appears as though 23skidoo is involved in some sort of content dispute with Viriditas. Bad, bad block. → ROUX ₪ 21:15, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

This is not an appropriate block for a number of reasons, and I strongly urge 23skidoo to reverse it. Bad block reason, a week would be too long anyway, not clear that you're uninvolved, posts prior to the block were not appropriate. SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 17:23, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

There is something very wrong with this block. 23skidoo had not edited for several months (and indeed has not edited much in the last couple of years), then arrived suddenly at Talk:Juan Williams, restored some posts, and then blocked someone who objected. Someone needs to undo this asap. 23skidoo, are you willing to undo it yourself? SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 17:31, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Reply

Fair questions. For the record, I was not involved in a content dispute or edit warring with the editor in question. As an administrator I was attempting to restore some order and preserve a talk page from having recent content archived and placed "out of sight". I am happy to enlighten those who are curious as to exactly what happened and why this editor has been blocked for a short period of cooling off time. I happened upon the Juan Williams article last night and noticed that there was some edit warring going on. And in particular there were some attempts to archive current material from the talk page which is not appropriate conduct. One of the threads being put out of sight had responses from this month - indeed this past few days (though the section itself had been started a year back.) It discusses some sensitive matters. But the discussion was not of a tabloid nature, it quoted from and linked to the Washington Post - the employer of Williams at the time of the incidents discussed. And referred to matters for which Williams was investigated, disciplined and apologized. Matters that were very widely reported at the time. The sole area of contention was the exact nature of the incidents. And that is precisely why we have talk pages - for forthright, civil discussion between editors. There was other recent content that the editor was seeking to archive. Wearing my Administrator hat I stepped in civilly and restored the content. Not as an editor warring with an editor. But as an Administrator restoring a long-held protocol. And I requested that this recent material not be deleted or archived. The editor immediately reversed the restoration. It was then that I spent a little time looking through the recent histories of the editor's interactions with other editors and discovered that there were several complaints of bullying by this editor. I investigated and I regret to say that I did find numerous examples in just the preceding 24 hours of a very aggressive tone and threatening text towards other editors in both his messages and in his edit summaries. They are all there to be seen. By way of example he wrote to Veriss1 "I've set you right. Don't do it again". And "Anyone who continues to use Wikipedia to fight these battles will be taken to task". He wrote to Davidpatrick: "You either go with the sources or you don't edit." And "You either need to learn how to write biography articles on Wikipedia, or you need to stop writing. It's very simple." Those types of comments are not conducive to healthy discourse.

Being charitable and assuming that the editor is generally of good faith but perhaps being a hot head in the heat of edit warring, I decided to give him a clear warning that he could be blocked for his actions in removing article talk page material and uncivil interactions and inviting him to respond. By referring to the specific Wikipedia guidelines that he would be encouraged to review during such a suspension I truly hoped he would take a deep breath and realize that if several people (at least two editors and an Administrator) were all unhappy with his tone of discourse that perhaps he needed to cool down. But his immediate response was belligerent and to declare that I was "a meat puppet for Davidpatrick and Veriss1". Apart from the fact that this is patently false, it unfortunately confirmed the identical issue that the other editors have complained of. Namely a bullying aggressive tone that is counter-productive to civil discourse on Wikipedia. That is the reason for the block. I truly hope that the time off will help the editor to read Wikipedia:WikiBullying, Wikipedia:No angry mastodons, and WP:CIVIL and reflect on the merits of a calmer more friendly approach to fellow editors, even in the heat of disagreements. 23skidoo (talk) 12:46, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

As proper as the block may have seemed at the time (I've been there and so, I'm sure, have most admins), it doesn't seem to be holding up at ANI. I'd recommend you lift it or reduce it to time served if for no other reason than to put an end to the dramafest. Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:54, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Alexandra Quinn, Porn Actress

23skidoo,

In answer to your question about porn actress Alexandra Quinn's true name, it is Diane Purdie Stewart. While she was in Ventura County Jail on drug charges she gave a statement to Los Angeles Police Department homicide detectives that implicated her friend, Jeffrey Weaver, in the 2003 murder of Christopher John Walsh. At trial in 2007, testifying under her true name,she attempted to recant her statement with an outlandish tale. The jury failed to believe her and convicted Weaver.

Casino Royale is the 21st film in the James Bond film series and the first to star Daniel Craig as MI6 agent James Bond. It was directed by Martin Campbell and written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and Paul Haggis. Casino Royale is set at the beginning of Bond's career as Agent 007, just as he is earning his license to kill. After preventing a terrorist attack at Miami International Airport, Bond falls for Vesper Lynd, the treasury agent assigned to provide the money he needs to bankrupt terrorist financier Le Chiffre by beating him in a high-stakes poker game. The story arc continues in the following Bond film, Quantum of Solace (2008). The film is a reboot, establishing a new timeline and narrative framework not meant to precede or succeed any previous Bond film. Casting the film involved a widespread search for a new actor to portray James Bond, and significant controversy around Craig when he was selected to succeed Pierce Brosnan. It is the third screen adaptation of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel of the same name. The film received largely positive critical response, with reviewers highlighting Craig's performance and the reinvention of the character of Bond. It earned over $594 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing James Bond film to date. (more...)

No idea if there is a link or something to report people who should be blocked, but I have stumbled upon a good deal of vandalism from User talk:96.32.244.60 and you are the first administrator I have come across since discovering this user so I figured I'd ask what should be done about someone who does not have an account, but seems to only make edits that constitute vandalism.

Non-free rationale for File:MyersJodimars.jpg

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

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:00, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

'Abd al-Ilah Article

23skidoo,

I've come across an article named 'Abd al-Ilah. I find the Notes and References are mixed up (See my comment on it's discussion page). I've asked Ian Rose from the WikiProject Military History to look at it. Adamdaley (talk) 11:39, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

researching Rock-A-Beatin' Boogie

because it is danced to in the film Rock Around the Clock. Do you remember where you got this statement in the Danny Cedrone article? "That's fine, but Cedrone's version with the Esquire Boys was recorded in 1952... 23skidoo 17:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)" Billboard Feb 28, 1953 p 68 announces the release on the Rainbow label, but are there session logs, or???
