Tiger Muskie - Issue of Image Copyright?

Hello, Arbitrarily0! I recently edited a page on Tiger Muskellunge (a species of fish) because the image in the taxonomy section was of the wrong variety of muskie. The image I replaced it with is found in the same exact book on the same exact page (Fish of Michigan Field Guide by Dave Bosanko, page 88). Even though both images are from the same source, I am not completely sure if I correctly followed copyright procedure. I'd like your opinion on this, but I am fairly certain this maneuver was fine due to the fact that multiple images from this book are circulating the Commons. Thanks!

Hi Benito! This is a good question! Your reasoning is great, but there is something strange: if both of those images come from that book, probably this website does not own that image either. If the book publisher owns those images, sadly we probably cannot use either one. I gave a look around different tiger muskie drawings online - I do not see any which are freely available. Perhaps the best route is to replace this drawing with a real-world picture. What do you think? Feel free to consider any pictures you yourself have taken. In general, let me know if you need a hand uploading your own shots! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 03:45, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback - I will remove the existing drawing and see if i can find a decent real tiger muskellunge for the box, as that is the best option readily available. And thanks for the help offer, but as long as I follow copyright rules, I think I'll be in the clear! Thanks again! Benito 21:58, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Sounds great! Keep in touch, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:58, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Broken page links and faulty redirect

When I go to Zakarid Armenia I reach the correct article, and if I click on its talk page tab I get to it correctly, but when I click back to the article I instead am redirected to Zakarids-Mkhargrzeli, which in turn has its own talk page. I do not know how to fix this. Can you fix it, since you might have been inadvertently responsible for creating it (you made a redirect back in 2011). Each article has different content and I think each needs to exist (one deals with the territory and its history, the other deals with the history and origin of the dynasty that ruled that territory). Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 17:02, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

My, that was quite confusing. Should be all set now, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:58, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

WP:CELTS tagging request

Hi, I'd like to request WikiProject tagging from Arbitrarily0Bot for WP:CELTS. All articles in Category:Celts and its subcategories (to infinite depth) should be tagged. Thanks.--Newbiepedian (Hailing Frequencies) 14:39, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Scratch that, just realised that category is organised in a problematic way. I'll get back to you with a list :) --Newbiepedian (talk · contribs · X! · logs) 12:20, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Request for splitting and merging a few page histories

Salutations, Arbitrarily0! I hope you are doing well.

I'm working on what has become (due to sheer length) a series of articles about the history of Texas A&M University–Commerce, currently in my userspace, so I'm hoping you could split and merge a few page histories for me (I had initially started writing this as one article). The source in each case is User:Michael Barera/sandbox/History of Texas A&M University–Commerce, and the three target pages are as follows (with the inclusive revisions to be moved noted in parentheses):

1. User:Michael Barera/sandbox/History of East Texas Normal College (from here to here, inclusive)
2. User:Michael Barera/sandbox/History of East Texas State Normal College (from here to here, inclusive)
3. User:Michael Barera/sandbox/History of East Texas State Teachers College (from here to here, inclusive)

Hopefully this all makes sense and isn't too much work for which to ask. If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks in advance, and all the best!

Michael Barera (talk) 21:49, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Michael! Great to hear from you. Should be taken care of now. Grace to you, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 15:24, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

@Arbitrarily0/: since you started the article and still seem to be active, just to inform you I came across some images on commons and I was thinking of creating a separate category Commons:Category:Warramunga Tribe, or would Commons:Category:Warramungu Tribe be more appropriate?

Casablanca Fan Company appears to be owned now by Hunter Fan Company. Yet I can find no information online as to when that happened. After Burton died, did the company go into decline?

Arameans

Hi Arbitrarily0,

I saw that you also undid the revert on Arameans that was not the intention actually. There already took 2 RFC's place on the page with both RFC's going about the same thing and the consensus for it was reached. There was a rough consensus for a seperation between modern and ancient Arameans.

The page you undid was actually going about the modern people, while I was busy with Draft:The history of the Arameans

I hope you can revert the edit back and protect it so I can finish the page about the history of these people and put an end to all the discussions that have been going on for 6 months.

Best regards & stay safe! :) Kikkererwtje (talk) 21:04, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello Kikkererwtje. Unfortunately I do not know much about the controversy, but it should be decided on the article's talk page. I protected the page because of edit warring, and restored it to the last stable version, as is the usual practice. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 01:08, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Old St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

Can you update the "result" statement to show that the page was moved to a different page, not the one in the original discussion? Seeing that redlink without the actual name is going to confuse people. Also, since page move requests wind up in various archives, consider making what would otherwise be a pointless/unnecessary redirect from Old St. Andrew's Episcopal Church (Jacksonville) to Old St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:26, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra

Hi - would you be willing to elaborate on the policy-based grounds for your closure? I don't see any refutation of my nomination concerning the failure of the GNG - all the weak keep !votes were of the WP:ILIKEIT variety with no basis in sourcing. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 07:28, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Goldsztajn. Thanks for reaching out. I had misunderstood your comment to Bearian, where I thought you were agreeing with his personal policy. In terms of GNG, the hotel seems to pass ([1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]). These are articles about the hotel itself or the hotel staff, rather than events held the hotel (and I think that these articles, at least, are not press releases). But if you disagree even slightly, I will revert my close. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 08:34, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Also, have you considered serving as an Admin? I would need to look over your contributions more closely before nominating you, but I wouldn't proceed at all unless you're interested. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 09:15, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the very quick reply and I appreciate you looking for alternate sourcing. Of the stories you cite, I had missed a number of these; 4, 5/6 (same story) in particular are clearly not churnalism and contribute to notability. For what it's worth, following your closure, I was able to find some sourcing regarding the original hotel [8] [9] [10] [11] (although this last one is self-published from the architects). I suspect a deeper trawl through the Ghanaian press would reveal more regarding the original structure (especially given the prior state ownership and subsequent privatisation). I think there's probably enough material for an article on the original structure. The resolution of the issue could be a move to Ambassador Hotel (Accra)? What do you think? Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 10:55, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Goldsztajn, sounds good to me. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 12:11, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi, as you are an admin, you may wish to review Justanothersgwikieditor and this new reviewer's patrols. Are they on probation? I have a couple of minor concerns, but they may be unfounded. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:59, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Kudpung. Justanothersgwikieditor, can you respond to the comments Kudpong posted here? Not responding to such concerns, if legitimate, is grounds for revoking NPP. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 13:17, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I saw the note and did not realise that there is a need to reply to the concerns.

@Kudpung: Hi, sorry for the lack of response, I saw the pings and did not realise I need to respond to it. To start off, I am a relatively new NPPer. I saw the merge suggestions and read the talk page on the proposed merger. Based on the discussion, I assumed with the various NPPers agreeing on the merge and not drafitying or afd, the article should be okay to mark as reviewed. I saw the notes and realise that I had made a poor judgement and archived the notes once I read them. I apologize for my poor judgement and promise to be more careful on blp requirements. I am on the NPP discord server (same username) if you like further clarifications. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 13:31, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Justanothersgwikieditor, Like many serious users, I refuse to use chat sites, but my talk page is always open for intelligent discussion. We all realise that I set a low entry bar for Nw Page Reviewers when I created the user group, but the call for qualified reviewers would never have obtained consensus had it been higher at the time. That's why we also now have excellent tutorials, an NPP school, and a probationary period for new reviewers which admins at WP:PERM can set at their discretion. There is also a vibrant talk page at WT:NPR where most questions also get answered, but at the moment most of the talk there is about the backlog crisis and what to do about it. There is no obligation to reply to other patrollers' messages - they are always made in good faith - but I was a bit taken aback by your instant reverting or archiving. You probably don't have the instinct yet that triggers suspicion of WP:SOCK and undeclared paid editing, but it will come. I suggest you find your feet with the low hanging fruit before you get involved in more complex issues. Being easier, it would also help very much with the current backlog. Keep up the good work and don't hesitate to ask for help. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:13, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

WP:Articles for deletion/Eric Smidt

Can you elaborate on your no consensus closure here please? It's a bit puzzling to me. ––FormalDude (talk) 14:19, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello FormalDude. I'm not sure what else to say, but I'll try. I'd probably have been willing to close the discussion as delete at the point which Sandstein relisted it, owing to the strength of the delete arguments. But since then, two experienced editors attested that the article meets GNG, and, moreover, it seemed the discussion had reached an impasse. Having now just searched for sources myself, I wish to stand by my assessment that the GNG attestations merit a no-consensus close. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 04:00, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Reporter Magazine Deletion

Hello! I am the current Editor-in-Chief for Reporter magazine. I recently saw you deleted our page about our organization, and we would like to return it. Can you please let us know how we can return the article back to the way it was? Thank you! Link to article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reporter_Magazine_(RIT)&action=edit&redlink=1 DePiglio (talk) 18:40, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello DePiglio, welcome to Wikipedia! The article was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia policy. While this decision can be challenged, it probably cannot be challenged by someone closely related to the magazine (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest). But there are many other ways to contribute to Wikipedia if you are interested, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 14:23, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Review Page?

Hello there! I see that you're pretty active on Wiki, and you happen to be in the Biographies WikiProject! I was wondering if you could review Draft:Disappearance of Joshua Guimond for me? The page is to be used as both a biography, and an account on Joshua's disappearance (Note: I am getting further help on the page, soon), but it was reviewed almost 2 weeks ago, and the previous reviewer has yet to return to it. He cited that I didn't have enough citations within the page, and that issue has been fixed; The page now has ~30 citations, and counting, as the investigation into the case moves forward.

I hope to hear back from you! Thanks so much DylanJ10000 (talk) 05:53, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi DylanJ10000. Peace. Since there is already a reviewer scheduled, how about we let him/her take a look first? Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 21:16, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll be happy to wait a few more days, but it seems that they aren't going to be returning to the draft. I'll come back to you if I don't hear from them in the next few days :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by DylanJ10000 (talk • contribs) 02:01, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Sounds good! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 02:25, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Hey there, Arbitrarily0! It's been a couple days, and it seems that the first reviewer, ultimately, isn't returning. If you could take a look at the draft, it would be much appreciated :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by DylanJ10000 (talk • contribs) 17:52, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay, but have you contacted Alexandermcnabb about this? Let's just make sure he hasn't forgotten, first. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 04:04, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Hiya. Not sure what's meant here, I reviewed and declined the submission. There was no schedule to return to it... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:54, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay. Then DylanJ10000, I'd recommend just re-submitting your draft through the usual process. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:16, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Your close as "no consensus"

of this AfD discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gina Mastrogiacomo (2nd nomination)

Since you offer no details and no summary, I have questions. I am the AfD creator, by the way.

First off, I do not think you simply looked at the not-votes and counted 3 deletes, 3 keeps and one "weak keep". That said, how much weight did you assign to those keeps?

I would say that the first Keep should be discounted entirely, per my comment to that entry --> [12]. As for the other two (by 4meter4 and Banks Irk) they are also basically without substance, as per The Gnome's very thorough analysis. In short, they make claims that appears to be entirely taken out of thin air - that the article simply doesn't support.

Only the Weak Keep from Dflaw4 and the comment by DyInuge appears to be given in the spirit of our deletion policies. (Deathlibrarian too, but that's essentially a "Delete" not-vote)

But there was zero discussion around whether the article merits an exception from the "more than one" NACTOR rule.

I was surprised by your close. To me, the substantial and insightful feedback very heavily favored a delete. Therefore I would like you to elaborate on your decision - which not-votes did you put weight to and why?

Best regards, CapnZapp (talk) 15:01, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello CapnZapp! I think both sides had arguments that were within the realm of a reasonable interpretation of policy. Some think certain acting roles are more significant than others; some think that GNG is met while others do not. No one's mind was changed as the discussion progressed. But if you still think I read the discussion wrong, please escalate this to WP:DRV. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:42, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your friendly reply. Sure I can escalate, but my hope is that you appreciate me checking in with you before I do that. So - you talk about "both sides" and use "some" several times. But I was asking which (exact) editor argument you put weight upon. As I said, to me one side was very well-reasoned, while the other mostly just spouted baseless bluster. Can I assume you read, in detail, the very well-reasoned evisceration of these claims by The Gnome? How come this did not influence your decision?

Again, this is not personal, but a simple query. I am fully aware of the workload of you core Wikipedians, and I fully realize sometimes decisions are made quickly. I'm here to honestly ask you if you think you did a thorough job, because if you think you did, then I will simply trust you more than myself, and drop the issue. If on the other hand, say, you performed 1,234 various administrative duties the other night, you might welcome a review, and I'll be happy to start one. Hope you see what I'm getting at here, and keep doing great things for Wikipedia! CapnZapp (talk) 07:52, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

I am grateful for your deferential and polite spirit. Yes, I have read the entire discussion, and I've looked it over each time you've asked about it. I still stand by my initial decision. I gave weight to all the arguments except (with all due respect) DRosenbach's. The Gnome's "delete" arguments are not incontestable, as is evidenced by another editor (Dylnuge) who, though !voting delete and hence unlikely to be biased against The Gnome, disagree[d] with The Gnome on two important points. "No consensus" does not mean that you (and Gnome) are wrong; it just means that not enough editors were so swayed, or that the hidden truth of the matter was not any more perspicuous to the closer than it was to half of the !voters. I trust that DRV will arrive at the same conclusion, although I very much welcome the opportunity to be humbled. Again, grateful for your civility, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 05:20, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Obsidian (software)

On 11 January 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Obsidian (software), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the software Obsidian was created by just two developers during the COVID-19 pandemic? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Obsidian (software). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Obsidian (software)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Ali Haidar Pasha

How did you find consensus for this move? Srnec (talk) 15:29, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Oh! I see how! I misread your !vote, as agreeing with AjaxSmack. My apologies. Would you like me to reserve the closure, or should we just open a new discussion? Could you say why you opposed AjaxSmack's alternative? That might make things clearer. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 16:52, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

The non-superfluous diacritics should remain in the article if not the title, in which case the spelling of the title should match the standardized Arabic used. In other words, the old title should continue to be used in the body of the article, only the title of the article should be simplified, in which case the y is better than the i (since that it was the standard transliterations prefer). I have no problem adding Ali Haidar Pasha as an alternative spelling in the opening. Srnec (talk) 17:46, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Yes, but can you respond to AjaxSmack's claim that Ali Haidar Pasha [is] a more common variant ... in English sources? Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 20:08, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Arbitrarily0 can you help me on john kiramis article, I recently submit this article for review.

Hi Ab.Haris999! Let's let the draft process continue! From a first glance, though, it looks like the subject may not be notable enough for inclusion. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:55, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frederickson Fieldhouse

Hello, Could you please reconsider your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frederickson Fieldhouse? The arguments are unconvincing given WP:ROUTINE doesn’t apply to buildings and something doesn’t have to have “architectural significance” or whatever to be notable, it just needs significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Garuda3 (talk) 11:25, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Garuda3, I agree with you, actually, that your argument has not been adequately addressed. Thanks for pointing this out. I have relisted the discussion. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:02, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for this, appreciate it Garuda3 (talk) 18:26, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Third opinions on Sword of the Spirit

Hello! Given that the talk page is kind of spiraling and hard to read—which very well might be my fault—I just wanted to flag that we did arrive at a consensus on the size qualifier for Sword of the Spirit. LinnCDoyle2 said he'd have no objection to "one of the largest" being used.--Jerome Frank Disciple (talk) 13:00, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the update, Jerome Frank Disciple, and thank you for all your work there. It would probably good to get other editors involved as well. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 20:03, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Lott

I disagree with your assessment that there is a consensus in this discussion at all, rough or otherwise. The existence of disambiguation pages premised on WP:DABMENTION links has been discussed extensively, and there has never been a consensus to remove these. Doing so through individual AfDs effects an end-run around broader community decision-making processes, and since there are a substantial number of such pages, creates an inconstant patchwork within the encyclopedia. I would urge you to reverse this closure. BD2412 T 19:22, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks BD2412. About twice as many participants !voted delete over keep. Can you point me in the direction of past discussions on this topic? Even then, maybe it's best to allow this to go to DRV, so that the argument you just made can receive more attention. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:59, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

In connection with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Terry Pearce (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arthur Harley (2nd nomination), there was an exhaustive RfC at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages/Archive 43#RfC on change to MOS:DABMENTION, which resulted in no consensus for the rule applied to the current AfD. BD2412 T 20:25, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

I am torn here, and would like more of your advice. If there's no consensus on the question, doesn't this mean that AfD's need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis? Again, I'm also fine with bringing this to DRV, in order to attract attention to the fact that we very much need a general solution to this issue. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 07:03, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

How do we evaluate on a case-by-case basis AfDs where the outcome turns on the exact same policy issue? The sole question is whether a disambiguation page can exist where all of the listings are WP:DABMENTION items. It should not be the case that following the resolution of several discussions to the outcome that this is permissible, we end up with one indistinguishable case where it is impermissible. BD2412 T 15:22, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Some of the !voters, especially User:4meter4, argued that this was a distinguishable case. As User:No such user wrote, WP:DABMENTION says that on dab pages we may use links to articles that only mention the subject, but it does not say that we have to keep dab pages that only contain such entries, and I think User:4meter4 expanded this argument persuasively. I am inclined to agree with you, BD2412, but many other editors will not be so inclined, so please take this to DRV so we can have a more authoritative ruling than either of us can produce.
