diane webber[edit]

If "death certificate" isn't the right footnote, than what is? Diane's death certificate from the Los Angels County Registrar states her name as Marguerite Diane and the cause of death as colon cancer with a pulmonary embolism listed as a contributing factor.

Ida Ljungqvist[edit]

Why did you delete my posting of Ida Ljungqvist as PMOY on April 2nd?? Everyone knew she was PMOY I guess buy you.68.211.170.167 (talk) 13:05, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Diane Webber[edit]

Thanks for your reply. Diane was born Marguerite Diane, she chose to use her middle name as her first name after she was married. I can't cite a source since my source is her death certificate, listing her as Marguerite Diane Webber AKA Diane M webber. The birthdate is July not June, Playboy has it wrong. This can be checked at SSDI.

Katsand (talk) 03:32, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Social Security Death Index, she is listed as Diane M. Webber. Katsand (talk) 04:46, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It irked Diane no end that Gay Telese got her birthday wrong in Thy Neighbor's Wife. As for her name, Diane had many issues with her mother, not the least of which was her arrogance in naming her daughter after herself. Diane chose to use her middle name as her first name. The only source I can cite is http://www.lavote.net/recorder/BDM_Records.cfm. Anyone can fill out the forms and pay $12 to get a copy of death certificates since they are a matter of public record.Katsand (talk) 05:24, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I knew Diane for 35 years. No I wasn't suggesting YOU get a copy of her death certificate. The information is available to anyone willing to fill out the forms and pay the money. I don't know of any other citable source, unless you can suggest one. I got a copy since I was tired of seeing ovarian cancer listed as a cause of death and I knew that wasn't correct. I needed to know the truth.

Katsand (talk) 07:08, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the Playboy website but couldn't find anything. I know her family didn't publish an obit. I will be trying to track down that obscenity case. Diane gave a deposition, I know she wasn't the only defendent named. It had to do with sending nudist mags through the mail. Nudity was condidered obscene. Kinda funny really since the genitals were airbrushed out.

Katsand (talk) 08:44, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to suggest a compromise on listing Diane's name. She used Marguerite Empey Playboy or Diane M. Webber SSDI. She never used Diane Marguerite Empey, there is no citable evidence except other web sites. I suggest using Diane M. Webber, AKA Marguerite Empey, both of which can be cited.Katsand (talk) 15:41, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the older versions of Diane's listing and notice that it used to say Marguerite Diane. On Nov 15, 2008 someone named Gary 0090 changed it to Diane Marguerite with no citations. How did he get away with that??Katsand (talk) 00:43, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Juliette Fretté[edit]

Dismas, Juliette did not put her weight on her Playmate data sheet for a reason, because she did not want to share it. Additionally, she has said in interviews that the previously cited weight of 120 pounds was inaccurate. Please allow her weight to remain blank. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Urthgoddess (talkcontribs) 13:52, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dismas, check her playmate data sheet. She put a wagging tongue where it said "weight". You can check out this link, even though it does not exactly transcribe the impish face I'm talking about: http://www.centerfoldblog.net/2008/11/juliette-frette-june-2008-playmate-datasheet/
If you need any more verification, you can actually pick up the June magazine of Playboy. It's there plan as day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Urthgoddess (talkcontribs) 03:54, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Dismas, okay I cannot find a source at this time to prove to you that Juliette refuses to give weight as a social/political statement and that 120 pounds is a lie. All I can say, is that I am actually Juliette Fretté, and moreover, I know how much I weigh! Please feel free to email me through my website at info@juliettefrette.com to confirm this with me.
Thank you, Juliette Fretté —Preceding unsigned comment added by Urthgoddess (talkcontribs) 16:03, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jo Joyner[edit]

Dismas - Jo Joyner's birthday is 24 May 1977. You keep changing this to the fictional character, Tanya Branning's, birthday.

Yes I've had source, it was the next month section of the current issue of Playboy that I've received through my Zinio subscripition, Hpoirier Hpoirier (talk) 02:31, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've redone the submission, but this time stating my sources, also since the July and August issue will be a double month issue, the table should be changed to state that effect, source of that Playboy website itself. Hpoirier (talk) 03:08, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another source for the double issue is the subscription page at playboy.com itself

Sunny Leone[edit]

Mate, you have no idea about that article on Sunny Leone. Her real name is Karen Malhotra, which is a Hindu name. Even "if" she was raised a Sikh, that is fully wrong as why will one follow that religion and have a Hindu name; which is completely against the religion of Sikhism. And you say a person who is raised that way, may not follow those morals in adulthood. If you even ask a Hindu or a Sikh, they will tell you that it the information is false. So many people look at the article, and it has the wrong info, which inturn gives the wrong data to people who are not aware of the religion. The thing is, anyone can make an interview on a webpage.

For example:


www.madeupinterviewsblahblahonDismas.com

This interview was conducted on 11th January 2007. Dismas is an active contributor on the site of Wikipedia and needs to learn about common sense and some world's religions.

Interviewer: IP1

IP1: Hi Dismas, how are you? Dismas: Good, thank you IP1: So, how are your Wikipedia articles and daily life go with your beliefs? Oh, its all good. I manage my daily five prayers and dedication to Allah. *See Dismas, I just made up that you follow the teachings of Islam"*

Its quite astonishing that Dismas manages his Islamic prayers with such a busy schedule editing articles almost 24/7 in front of the computer on the most popular information website. *Again Dismas, I made up a paragraph similar to the Sunny Leone page where it says she was raised a Sikh*


There is no proof that she was raised a Sikh. Bring it up and I'll back away from this page. Looking at your contributions to Wikipedia, mate, you should atleast have some general knowledge about a religion called Sikhism. Hell, if you ask Sunny Leone that question in person or in a legit chat room, and if she says that she was raised a Sikh, or if you can present any proof except that webpage, I will seriously won't even argue about this and I will one day talk to her about that. Like I said before, anyone can make up an article on a candy ass website.

I have nothing against you mate, I respect you and your contributions to this site even though I don't even know you. Its just that some people convey a negative message of a religion about which more than 55% of the world's population don't even know about.

So what I'm saying is that you please review the article and write what I did, fixing up my grammatical errors and stuff. If you still think that the current information is right, I suggest you really please take some advice about the difference between Sikhism and Hinduism. I hope you look upon this seriously as in the real world, people get the wrong information, and just because of it, shit happens.

Regards, Fellow citizen of planet Earth.

Wow. Talk about going over the top trying to make a simple point. And you managed to insult me along the way...
I'm tired and I'm right, so I'm going to try to make this quick. The source is legit and reliable. She gave the interview and per WP:V, Wikipedia is interested in what can be verified. We can verify that someone reported that she was raised Sikh. My knowledge of Sikhism and Hinduism doesn't matter here.
And finally, the article is about Sunny Leone and not about the differences of religions or what their moral teachings are. Nor is it about the accuracy of Wikipedia. The article is solely about Leone. If you have points to discuss about the accuracy of the article, put it on the talk page for that article. Dismas|(talk) 03:08, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ida Ljungqvist again[edit]

Why did you delete my entry for Ida Ljungqvist on April 2nd?? It was common knowledge that she was 2009 PMOY announced on April 1st. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.211.170.167 (talk) 13:01, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First, when posting to someone's talk page, it's best to start a new section rather than breaking the format of whatever introductory info they may have at the top of the page. I've moved your comment down here because of that.
Second, her PMOY announcement was not "common knowledge". Common knowledge would be something like the existence of gravity or that the earth is round. The announcement of an award in a niche market is not common knowledge.
Third, you didn't provide a source for your edit, as I explained in my edit summary. Dismas|(talk) 13:18, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ida Ljungqvist, no proof[edit]

Their are things said that are NOT proved. Example "Divorce finalized" (Not true) Their still legally married. No Proof. Went to State of CA website and their divocre in not finalized. Also their is no where that she works with UNICEF whatsoever. No proof anywhere online. (public information) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greystone36 (talkcontribs) 05:15, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are posting things that are NOT verified anywhere such as her divorce finalization. That's NOT true or verify it, which your not doing please. The law suit Ida also filed has been dropped and no longer approved by the judge. So why don't you write that. Seriously. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greystone36 (talkcontribs) 21:38, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FYI- Look at the article. It's sooooooooo wrong. If something that is posted such as her court documents (on over 15 web pages) so be it. If you can have some stupid "Las Vegas" site as a "resource" but not 15 other verified web-sites. Stop putting stuff you cannot verify and removing things that are verified. If you have TMZ as a resource than you can have hollywoodgossip.com as one too or remove the TMZ lawsuit she filed. Period. facts are facts —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greystone36 (talkcontribs) 21:44, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is true, you cant put one thing and delete another. Facts are infact, facts. Her court documents on a celebrity website and an interview with her husband that is noted is a credible source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anderson7R (talkcontribs) 21:52, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From what I'm getting online in "chat rooms" and people "talking". Ida and Josh are still legally married. Know for fact the divorce isnt finalized —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.82.33.195 (talk) 17:45, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If this is going to continue to be a conversation about the article in general or about the sources for that article, take it to the talk page for the article! If it's just GreyStone telling me that he's upset with every little thing that I've done, then it can remain here. Dismas|(talk) 19:52, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just an FYI[edit]

I had seen your name popping up to revert quite a few pages while I was looking at accounts that I hadn't caught or included in a sock puppet case, but just to clarify things, you might want to see the list of usernames that came up in the case at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Excuseme99. Cheers. Wildhartlivie (talk) 02:16, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had begun dealing with more than one of them recently, which is usually how socks end up being discovered. It had gotten quite problematic with the issues the main account was making at Talk:Natalie Wood and finally the person tripped up and changed the signature on an IP post on a page that was a response to issues regarding edits made with another username. I was a little shocked to see how many usernames I hadn't connected. It's a relief for it to be out. Wildhartlivie (talk) 02:57, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Darva Conger[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Darva Conger, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Failure to meet WP:ENT guidelines other than appearing in a single reality TV show

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Default Sort[edit]

I am going to say this quickly, about the default sort. The default sort is to use by last name and first name. Also in the default sort are those categories to be arranged in order alphabetically. Steam5 (talk) 05:31, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now I am going to say it slowly so pay attention what I say, about the default sort is put the last name first, then the first name goes second including the comma in the middle and the space and once it's put the default sort already then they put the categories including Category:(Year) births and Category:Living people and the put any of those categories to be arranged in order alphabetically. But almost most of the famous persons in articles already have a default sort and arrange those categories in alphabetical order. So that's all what I am going to say.

"... there is no reason to link someone's last name in the introduction of the article. I'll use the Kennedy family as an example. And no, it's not because of being Irish or any other nationality. If you look at the articles for John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, or Ted Kennedy, you'll see that none of them have the person's last name linked. None of those pages link to the Kennedy article."

Seeking your advice about the Gerald Celente article[edit]

Hi excellent Dismas. I've been seeking help from the excellent Tabercil and the excellent Hullabaloo Wolfowitz too about a particular subject. Wondering if you'd advise me about an article. Many users feel the Gerald Celente article is a lopsided, one-way advertising piece for Celente, a gloom-and-doom forecaster and business consultant, talking head. Most "references" in the existing article were bogus -- didn't go anywhere. Sometimes the reference was for a newspaper, but clicking on it only led to the paper's website -- that kind of thing; but there were perhaps two fairly solid references also (NY Times; one more; The El Paso Times reference was bogus). So I was intrigued. What was going on? (continued) Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:39, 4 August 2009 (UTC)tomwsulcer[reply]

So I spent a day researching the guy -- about 8 hours -- getting solid information and referencing each line with a good source (major newspaper or magazines etc). What I found is that Celente is an author, does have a consulting business in Rhinebeck NY, makes rather wild (extremely negative) predictions about the whole economy that border on the scary & bizarre (food riots, depression, tax revolts etc) but these rarely seem to happen; but he also makes business predictions too about consumer behavior, DIY market, and his business predictions are often rather bland, more reasonable. He's a guest on radio & TV talk shows fairly regularly (2 references said he was on Oprah, and he probably was, but I'm not certain), and his predictions make newspapers periodically. See, it's not that hard to do this -- newspapers are rushed and underfunded and need quick entertaining quotes as fodder for articles. My guess is Celente uses the wild statements to get media attention and help him build for himself a consulting business in Rhinebeck and uses the publicity to help him win clients. I don't know how many clients he has or how extensive his business is (this is typically confidential and I won't find it in any source) -- I expect his consulting business is mediocre, but above average -- he's not McKinsey (since he spends much time courting the media) but he has an office with several employees so it's a functioning business (as best I can determine). Several rather prominent bloggers feel he's a fraud -- with no traceable history or proper schooling or background; one blogger named Ed Champion did a rather thorough study of him and concluded this (and I think these opinions should be in the wikipedia article for balance). I think Celente's more complex than this -- reading through his business predictions in 2006, I thought some were reasonable. One thing really flaky -- Celente would comment to a reporter "I successfully predicted the stock market crash of 1987", but there is no pre-1987 record in the media of him going on the record with such a statement; I really hunted but found nothing. My sense is he's always making gloom-and-doom predictions (so he probably DID make such a guess but its meaningless because he's always been gloomy); the flaky thing is that he then uses these newspaper stories of I-predicted-the-1987-crash as PROOF that he did in fact make these predictions. Anyway, I think this is how he climbed out of the pit of obscurity with this flaky stuff, and now he's a "future prognosticator"; in any event, he's an interesting guy, don't you think? (continued) Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:39, 4 August 2009 (UTC)tomwsulcer[reply]

So I rewrote much of the Celente article, based ONLY on solid stuff from good sources, referencing each line -- I took about 8 hours doing this. And I posted my re-edit. But some other editor reverted it back with the lackluster explanation that the blogger quotes rendered my effort worthless and said "go to the talk page first". (I did have comments on the talk page from earlier, but they were ignored). I'm wondering what to do here. Do you have any advice? I've posted comments on the reverting editor's talk page to try to resolve the dispute. I think my revised article is NPOV, And check out my revised version to see if you like it?

Repeated deletion of Adam Andrzejewski[edit]

Seriously if you're not from IL how can you decide if he is notable or not? I hear his name on the radio everyday. I created the page a couple weeks ago, but didn't create the others.

Replaceable fair use Image:FKB.jpg[edit]

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:FKB.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 71.176.83.93 (talk) 02:16, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, thanks for the sarcastic "Cheers" at the end of you comment... It wasn't appreciated.

Second, the Playmate of the Month and associated interview subjects normally get announced a few months in advance, so although empty now, the list soon won't be.

Proposed deletion of List of people in Playboy 2010–2019[edit]

The article List of people in Playboy 2010–2019 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No need to have an article before there is any verifiable, notable, sourced information for the article to contain.

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. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:07, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Elke Sommer[edit]

Dismas, it would be easy for me to say that people like you here on Wikipedia aggravate me. But I won't say it because I think in any conversation you may learn something. The fact that she doesn't have children is as relevant as saying ieAngelina Jolie HAS six children. You see where Im going. Elke at 70 years old is certainly past her days of childbearing. It makes a well rounded and proper article like in a book or a magazine. It's a description of her family or would be immediate family such as her husband, mother etc. At 70 it would be imperative to say she doesn't have children becaue quite obviously she's not going to have any at this point. This for the reader who is interested in the personal side of a famous person's life and would probably ask this question if it wasn't there in the article.

I am simply cutting and pasting information into the article and not changing the format in anyway yet you find it necessary to instantly revert them back even after I've tried to just edit the page section by section instead of entirely at once. Even though this entire website is full of inconsistencies, poorly referenced and full of mis-information I guess there's no point in trying to make sure information is correct so you win, go ahead and keep the page exactly as it is.

(also listed on your talk page) You are not a reliable source. Anyone could claim that they went to high school with her. And at no point do we say that her legal name is Tori Black. That is the name that the general public knows her by and so that is the name that we use. For another example of this, please see John Wayne, Cary Grant, or David Tennant. Those are all people who go/went by a different name than their legal name. Please see WP:COMMONNAME for more on this. Dismas|(talk) 20:35, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mass Deletion of AWMDB Links[edit]

Hi, I noticed you have been mass deleting links related to the "AWMDB link" template.

Yes, I have another reason which I stated in my edit summaries. Since the site isn't notable, they're just another web link and therefore pointless. WP is not a random collection of links, per WP:EL. Dismas|(talk) 00:13, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You don't think it's notable in the fact it provides information that isn't otherwise available elsewhere? The discussion about the template clearly stated "The external link guidelines do not require a site to be notable in order for us to link there". I would also say those links are relevant since they provide a unique resource beyond what the articles contain. The articles do not contain detailed information about those performers web-based scenes as the website 'Adult Web Movie Database' does therefore it may be worth including within the external links since it provides information not within the articles and information that is probably better served as an external link rather than a part of the articles. With your deletions this information is no longer covered at all, unless you can find another website that tracks web performances/scenes/movies with more information I would say that a minor link via the external links section would be of benefit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.221.177.133 (talk) 00:57, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alina Puscau[edit]

The PROD tag on Alina Puscau is not correct. I am not saying that the article currently has sufficient indications of notability for a clear keep because I can see that it does not but to label it as "no indication of notability" is incorrect and a bit bitey. I came across the page whilst new page patrolling, it had incorrectly been tagged as speedy (very incorrectly). I did a quick google search and found extensive coverage so I cleaned it up a bit. I thought it far more appropriate to leave maintainance templates and see if the new user can improve it. I am an experienced user so it does not bother me at all but I can only imagine how a new user will find an incorrect speedy followed by an incorrect PROD rationale hitting their attempts at contributing to wikipedia. I will not remove the PROD tag. Polargeo (talk) 08:00, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MyFreeCams[edit]

Thanks for letting me discuss this with you. I hope to learn about Wikipedia in the process and become a better editor.

I believe that in the articles on Sunny Leone and Julia Bond, the reference to MyFreeCams.com was warranted.

Since November 2009, Julia Bond has been on MyFreeCams.com almost nightly so it seems that would be worth mentioning in the Career section of her Wikipedia article.

I cited this page: http://wiki.myfreecams.com/wiki/Celebrities_on_MyFreeCams

Perhaps I should have cited her profile page instead? It's here: http://profiles.myfreecams.com/JuliaBond

Please tell me if your removal of the edit was due to the content not being Wikipedia-worthy, or due to it being poorly cited.

I read that "Self-published and questionable sources as sources on themselves" are acceptable in some cases so I would argue that is the case here.


You mentioned that MyFreeCams is not notable enough to have an article. But in the Sunny Leone article I merely added it to a list of sites that included Flirt4Free and ImLive, which are two other webcam sites where Sunny Leone has appeared. MyFreeCams is considerably more notable than Flirt4Free.

So is the issue just that I'm citing an article hosted on a MyFreeCams? Would the situation be completely different if the cite was from AVN?

If you look at the list of sources at the bottom of the Sunny Leone article, at least 10% are sources on themselves, which seems to be allowed under Wikipedia rules.


Overall, I believe that my 2 edits on Julia Bond and Sunny Leone both added useful and accurate information and I do not believe either one was spam or advertising.

Please let me know where I am going wrong. Thanks so much!

And how is that supposed to help me? you'd rather link to someone's site from which i make absolutely nothing, full of old content, that i have nothing to do with, rather than let me link to my FREE blog? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blogdemelissalauren (talkcontribs) 07:02, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, just so you know i own the rights to the picture i put up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blogdemelissalauren (talkcontribs) 07:04, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Playboy Playmates[edit]

I have undeleted all Playboy Playmate articles I deleted and moved them to your userspace without leaving a redirect behind. Note that all the prod tags are still there, so they should perhaps be removed. I did not delete every Playboy Playmate article that was proposed for deletion, simply because there were far too many of them. I haven't done anything to the articles I did not delete.

Tanya Beyer, Drug dealer[edit]

I sent a note to the newspaper's editor to let him know that fugitive is most likely Miss February 1992. He'll have a story he didn't know was there. If news is slow in Palm Beach, something should come of it. We'll see.

That is the Tanya Beyer of Playboy, though. Portrait painting is part of my professional repertoire, and I know faces. I especially know her face, as I did several studies of it in my younger days. (She had the most classically beautiful features of any Playmate I've seen.) She looks like shit now, but age and dissipation can't hide that bone structure. The eyes, cheekbones, and jawline are identical. The faint Cheney-like semi-sneer that can be seen in several of her Playboy shots is there as well. Sad way for a glamour girl to end up.

It appears I was right. The Smoking Gun posted an article about her yesterday, and the news is now showing up all over the Web.

Kelly Wearstler biography[edit]

Kelly was born in Canton, OH. Her family moved to Myrtle Beach when she was seven. http://www.aboutstark.com/style/life-style —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug165 (talkcontribs) 20:00, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're right ... I didn't see it was footnoted, which was my fault. I will learn how to change it with the footnote properly and take care of it. Apologies for the confusion and revert it caused. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug165 (talkcontribs) 04:09, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Audrey Bitoni[edit]

My changes to the page of Audrey Bitoni are absolutely correct: I got my information from her Wikipedia pages in other languages, and from other sites on which she is (for example the porn site "Brazzers.com" where you can see her bio). I am absolutely sure of what I write, you can trust me on that.Jayman1709 (talk) 18:09, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You want a source ? Ok. First link : http://www.brazzers.com/tour3/index.php?action=pornstar_inside&pornstar_id=747
Click on the link and read the biography. Second source : http://www.adultfilmdatabase.com/actor.cfm?actorid=43951 On this page read "ethnic origin". These are my source. Now, you will probably trust me I hope...Jayman1709 (talk) 11:00, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I gave you the sources and now you tell me they are not reliable and verifiable. I just want you to know that the contents of those sites are controlled by the porn industry, or sometimes by the actors themselves. Only members of the sites (I mean directors and producers, not the readers) can write informations, which are controlled many times. But that's not all. If you think my sources are "wrong", so you can understand I am veeeeeeery curious to know YOUR sources. Please give me your sources, and I will compare with mine. And maybe I'll stop changing her page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayman1709 (talkcontribs) 11:00, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hahahaha, are you saying you haven't any source ?! You asked me for a source, I gave you TWO. I ask you for a source, and you are unable to give me one. So your informations are not reliable and verifiable. I will ask you to give me a source with complete and intelligible informations, as I did. If you are not able to do that, so your informations on Audrey Bitoni are wrong and you will be marked as a spammer.Jayman1709 (talk) 17:15, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My sources are absolutely verifiable and reliable, as I told you before. These sites are serious. And I don't know if you noticed that : click on the last link under the Audrey Bitoni's description on her Wikipedia page, and read "ethnic origins". You'll see it's written "Italian/American". That means the one who made the Wikipedia page of Audrey put a link that says the contrary of what he wrote ! And, of course, I read the other links too. And what did I see ? In NONE of them it was written somewhere that Audrey has spanish origins ! This information is absolutely NOWHERE. I don't know how you got that information, because it is written nowhere. And, apparently, you still haven't understood I've asked you to give me a source with a LINK. Give me a LINK on which I can click and get COMPLETE and CLEAR informations !Jayman1709 (talk) 11:08, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the IAFD is unreliable, the link should not be there, source or not source! Anyone who reads the article and then clicks on the link will see a different information from the one he has read on Wikipedia. Simply because the information that says Audrey Bitoni has spanish origins is nowhere as I said before. And, by the way, I'm not the one who put the link on the article, it was already there when I read the article for the first time, and I showed it to you to give an example of mistake in the page. And even if what I'm saying is wrong, you haven't given your sources yet, so you can't criticize my informations.Jayman1709 (talk) 10:54, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Michelle Thorne[edit]

Hi Dismas. You said in an edit summary "actually, now that I've looked at the source, this should be '77 and not '75". Can you explain which source you were looking at to persuade you of this? All the ones I can see say 1975. There have been concerted attempts to remove or reduce her age in recent edits to the article, which I fear may be from her agents, so I am very suspicious of 1977 when IMDB, IAFD etc all say 1975. I have reverted it for now but obviously it can be unreverted if 1977 is demonstrably correct. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:28, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Jackie_Rainbow_1954.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Jackie_Rainbow_1954.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 21:44, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just want to give you a heads-up as a frequent editor to the Sunny Leone article that it has been given a review to see if it could be called a good article. Unfortunately, it failed, but the feedback from the review is available at Talk:Sunny Leone/GA1, which gives concrete advice on how to improve the article.

Article resurrection[edit]

Hi Dismas, I've userfied the articles you requested: User:Dismas/Cheryl Kubert, User:Dismas/Judy Lee Tomerlin, User:Dismas/Gloria Windsor, User:Dismas/Jean Jani and User:Dismas/Linda Vargas. Next time remember that WP:REFUND is the correct place :) Regards, Jafeluv (talk) 03:07, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! And I had no idea that WP:REFUND existed. I checked the Admin noticeboard and Admin/Incidents but I didn't see anything about resurrection. I'll remember for next time. Thanks again, Dismas|(talk) 03:29, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just curious why you wanted them deleted right after you requested them to be userfied? -- œ 09:58, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Recently, being a Playmate was removed from the notability qualifications under WP:PORNSTAR. (yes, it's a bad title since Playmates aren't necessarily porn stars) At that time, there was a blitz to prod/afd every Playmate article that could be deleted. With 500+ Playmates, and me being pretty much the only person who works on the Playmate articles, I couldn't listify them fast enough. So, they got deleted. Now when I have a few holes to fill, I have to ask an admin to resurrect the articles so that I don't have to recreate the articles from scratch. Once I listify them, which only takes a few minutes, I don't need them any more. An example of what I'm working on is at List of Playboy Playmates of 1954. Dismas|(talk) 10:20, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ah I see. Nice work with that list too. Would be great if there was pics of all of them. -- œ 19:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the compliment. It would be nice to have more pics but that's a whole other kettle of fish. Even reduced images of deceased Playmates go through arguments over whether we're stealing from Playboy since pictures of women is what their bread and butter is. We have much better luck with recent Playmates since there is a professional photographer that goes to Playboy events and donates a few pics to our cause when he's getting his own shots. Dismas|(talk) 21:04, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, and you're in contact with this photographer? Can you request pics of certain playmates? -- œ 08:02, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think you might be misunderstanding me. The photographer, User:Toglenn, is an editor here. I try not to make too many requests of the two photographers that contribute quite a few photos here. The other photographer/editor is User:David Shankbone. I don't like to be a bother. Dismas|(talk) 08:16, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I see. Here I was thinking you have some paparazzzi inside sources. :P -- œ 09:51, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again! I looked at the 1954 list again, and noticed that the two non-free images used in the list don't have a non-free use rationale for that article. Furthermore, I'm not quite sure how their use in the list article meets NFCC #8. Using a non-free image to identify the subject of the article is generally fine (assuming that it's not replaceable by a free picture), but I don't think using them in a list article like that is justifiable. Jafeluv (talk) 11:10, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See, OlEnglish, this is what I'm talking about. It's a pain in the ass to get images in articles. This is exactly why I gave up uploading images for over a year! I've even had photos that I took myself get deletion warnings!! I really don't know why I even have anything to do with images here anymore. There's just too much red tape to cut through to get anything done. And then, if I do upload an image, the red tape changes in six months and I get more nasty-grams telling me that the new red tape means that my image is up for deletion yet again! It's a pain in the ass! Dismas|(talk) 20:52, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I see what you mean. Wisely, I never got into doing anything with images since I started, believing all files should belong on Commons anyway. Not only that but I found learning about image copyrights to be incredibly boring, and really didn't want to get involved in image uploading or tagging. -- œ 05:56, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your frustration, but the non-free content criteria were made intentionally restrictive to encourage using free content as much as possible. (We're supposed to be a "free content encyclopedia", after all.) For more information, you may want to read this guideline, which is specifically about the use of non-free content in list articles. Regards, Jafeluv (talk) 09:06, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Now that I've read that, I still feel that I'm justified in putting those images into the list. I highly doubt that I'd be able to find an image with more than 1 or 2 of the Playmates from that year in the same image (such as the cast of a television show example on the link that you provided). I've been reading the magazine for nearly 20 years now and I've never seen a "class photo" sort of thing with all the Playmates from a single year pictured together. And finally, those women who are pictured are dead. Therefore it is extremely unlikely that we could get a new free image of them. Dismas|(talk) 09:37, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds reasonable. Thanks for adding the fair-use rationales. Jafeluv (talk) 10:29, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks and it's no problem. Though, with 500+ Playmates spread over 50+ list articles, I'll be surprised if I get all the i's dotted and t's crossed on my first pass through. Dismas|(talk) 10:34, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Really?[edit]

There are thousands if not millions of articles on Wikipedia that mention the crimes and misdemeanors of relatives of celebrities. The irony here is that when there was CONFIDENTIAL specific locations of Harold's family members posted here, it took several days before any of you took that down. My edit was from PUBLIC POLICE RECORDS and I did not list a specific location other than a state.

Again, my information IS verifiable and is no more inflammatory or irrelevant than thousands of other entries here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Agentkelton (talkcontribs) 03:22, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Drafts and categories/stub templates[edit]

Hi, Dismas. I edited a handful of your drafts on Playmates by adding a userspace draft tag and by commenting out categories and stub templates (on some). Please remember not to use categories on drafts in user space, as all entries in the categories should be in main space. The same goes for stub templates. Cheers.
