Just a note, my bot can do that, I spotted this. It's the bot for the 24 Wikiproject. If you wouldn't mind :) Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 15:33, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, alright, I'll stop then. :) Thanks for the notice, Amalthea (talk) 15:37, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

• Oh noes. My bot has stopped working :/ You can continue, if you like :). Have any interest in 24, or just some random task? :) Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 15:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

• Hehe, well if there *is* a bot for that I'll happily let him do that, assuming that he can be convinced to get to work again.
  And it basically was a random thing - I heard some news about Tony Almeida, noticed that there was a stray bullet point at the Wiki24-template, had a look at how it was included in other pages, and got carried away with fixing it in all of the season pages. :)
  I'm not enough of an expert to help out in the 24 Wikiproject I guess. Amalthea (talk) 15:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Latymer School

Hello,

I go to the Latymer school, therefore I know what I'm talking about. There is a Habbo-Hotel society run by members of the lower school and seeing as though we are listing Jewish societies, Muslim societies and Christian societies, it should be in there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.242.151.126 (talk) 12:03, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Userpage

Howdy, thanks for the note about User:Thermonuclear fission12. I didn't check the user's edits before deciding against deleting the page; I suppose my feeling is userspaces have a wider latitude to be a bit random or nonsensical (many well established users have reasonably nonsensical pages) so I didn't feel it was a speedible page. I suppose others may disagree. If the user continues vandalizing and gets indefinitely blocked, I'll be happy to delete the page. Thanks, --TeaDrinker (talk) 16:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Not all articles do have redirects from alternate capitalisations because it would be a waste of time to create them, but here it is produced automatically. It does also deter people from trying to create a redundant article at the old title. Having a redirect here isn't doing any harm, and there's no reason to delete it. Hut 8.5 17:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of the articles: Carlos C. Estrella, Ez math and EZ Math Learning Center

Hello Amalthea!

Thank you for writing a message to me. With regards to your message as stated below:

"Hi As it is, your three pages lack noteability in the sense of WP:NOTE. You have to show that this math teaching method is noteable, e.g. by including web links to independant press articles about this method, or they will get deleted. Cheers, Amalthea (talk) 02:33, 14 June 2008 (UTC)"

I would like to inform you that I won't be able to provide you with Verifiable Sources about my math system. I was featured twice in Rated-K, a Sunday TV program in Channel 2, Manila Philippines. Rated-K is kind enough to provide me a personal copy of the interview but I signed an agreement with them that I can't use the video tape for commercial purposes without their permission except for personal use. I can upload to you the taped interview if that will verify my existence. I have registered the eZ Math Learning Center in the Department of Trade and Industries here in Makati City Philippines.

If you are looking for web links to independent press articles about this method, as of this moment I regret to inform you that I will be unable to provide you with any web links to independent press articles about my math system.

I just started my tutorial center in Pasig City, Philippines. I have taught more than 500 students and it is still growing. That is also the reason why I was featured because I am slowly gaining popularity compared with other math methods available in Manila, Philippines.

I can also send you pictures with my students who won the Battle of the Brains contest and the certificate that I have the copyright for the same title. I have also students who can subtract in billion digit very fast. I have also a letter from a parent who express her satisfaction about her daughter's improved performance especially in math subject.

I am still studying on how to set-up a website properly for eZ Math but as of this moment, I am partially successful. You can check my partially completed websites at http://www.geocities.com/ez.math and at www.ezmathlive.com.

At http://www.geocities.com/ez.math, I was able to upload a picture of my daughter Nicole Ann Louise Estrella during the interview with ABS-CBN reporter. I am also new to this type of "publishing in website" since I am a technical person.

You can also check my friendster address at ez.mathyahoo.com. Kindly follow this link: http://profiles.friendster.com/31287227 to view my friendter page. To view about my daughter's television interview with channel 2, kindly follow this link: http://www.friendster.com/photos/31287227/0/486052923 and http://www.friendster.com/photos/31287227/1/621549224.

This friendster address acts as a forum for my students to send me any messages they wish to express. It also acts as a way to communicate to each other personally. You can also see my pictures with my students, my interview and my student's comments.

Other than those I have stated, I will be unable to provide you with any web links to independent press articles about my math system.

I hope my explanations will be enough to merit me an article. This will be my first time to produce an article about a math system which I truly love to teach.

I can prove to you that indeed my math system is very easy and it exist if you will only allow me to show you my system. I am an Engineering graduate from the Mapua Institute of Technology but I shift my career to teaching because I saw that I can help students appreciate and love math through my system. I also envisioned that someday I can contribute changing the world through eZ Math, my own math system.

If you will allow me to improve my article, I will try to improve them except the web links you requested me to provide you. I may also ask you for an assistance e.g. tips on how to improve notability of my articles.

If you will be unable to process my concern and you still decided to delete my articles about eZ Math, its okey. I just pray that when the time comes that I will be again featured in any Manila based press article, I pray that you will allow me to be included in the Wikipedia.

I really appreciate your time writing to me and giving me an opportunity to express my thoughts.

For further inquiries, you can also send me a reply at my email: ez.mathyahoo.com.

Again, thank you for your time and understanding.

Sincerely,

Carlos C. Estrella eZ Math system founder, a Math teacher

Hi Amalthea, thanks for your note about Innovation Exchange. I didn't realize that blog posts weren't considered appropriate 3rd party references. The company has some upcoming press coverage, but as it stands, nothing beyond blog posts for the time being.

Hi, I think there has been a misunderstanding

Hi,

I am the creator of the article (History of Color Analysis) on the Website Impression Strategies Institute. The reason I have put it up on wikipedia is because I wanted to share this information along with everyone besides my students. I understand it was deleted because it appeared like a copyright infringement but I have added the GNU release notice on the bottom of the article.

I only wish to put up this article for people to acquire information on Color Analysis. So please let me know what other measurements I need to do to have the article back up.

Thank you

Basic Black

Hello Amalthea, why did you put back the conflict of interest on the Basic Black page. I'm napierk and since I am an intern at Basic Black I also have access to the account Basic B. This is my internship that's on the line. The page is fine now so why keep that COI up. The producers of the show Basic Black were already hesitant to have me set up this page. Now I fixed it and that COI is drawing attention. People are going to want to tamper with it. Please, it's fine now with the right info. The auto Bot made a mistake but now it's fine so please take off that COI. Thank you :) BasicB (talk) 18:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Reply on BasicB's talk page

Hey,

Let me clarify. I'm fully aware of the rules of wiki. I have my own personal account -napierk. The producer of Basic Black has Basic B. I sent it up for her and am showing her how to use wiki. Once I leave Basic Black this summer I will no longer have access to it so no one is violating any rules.

You said: Those producers were correct to be hesitant. Do you understand what conflict of interest means? Please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. It's ok for you to correct false information, but everything you add (especially you, due to your conflict of interest) must be verifiable. Add links to reliable, secondary sources. The tags are supposed to be drawing attention, so that people who know the show can fix it and remove the tags.

I say: The producers are my boss and gave me permission to correct the info. I know what conflict of interest means. I read the rules. There is no longer a conflict of interest. If you click on the link you will see everything is right now. Did you click on the link. What is written was put up there by the Basic Black producer herself. If you believe there is a conflict of interest can you please state what it is because the conflict has been resolved. Also tell me who has the conflict.

You said: That's the basic principle of wikipedia. The neutrality tag was placed there due to this sentence, I guess: [...] has served as a vehicle for African-American community engagement and for the sharing and celebration of its rich history and culture. That might be true, it might also be a promo line. Verify that with secondary sources and we can remove the issue tags, I think. A reference for the Emmy award would also be nice, preferably not from the show's website.

I say: No the neutrality tag was put there because I posted a statement about the auto bot changing things. I was just trying to tell people what I was doing and people misunderstood what I was saying and put up the tag. It's not because of the statement. Have you watched the show. That's exactly what the show does. Promotes African-American culture. PBS is a well established television network and is a great source. What I find strange is that for a long time the wrong info was on that page and no one cared. Now I finally fix it and someone has a problem. Why do I need all these references for Basic Black, but with all the other shows like American Idol, 90210, or thousands of others, no one is asking for references or put up a conflict of interest. If wiki only requires sources for Basic Black but not for other shows that would be bias.

I'm not trying to be difficult. I just that I've been trying to fix this page and people keep misunderstanding things. Believe me no one has a conflict with the page. I will remove the tag now. Thanx :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by BasicB (talk • contribs) 01:29, July 3, 2008 (UTC)

Reply on BasicB's talk page

Amalthea, You have not answered the question I asked you. Why are you only asking for sources for Basic Black and requiring a tag, but you don't require it for other shows. There's no reference cited for the description of American Idol, 90210, etc. You need to put up a COI tag with those shows to be fair, right. I'm not trying to start a problem, but I think you are being bias because you are only requiring a tag for a show called BASIC BLACK.— Preceding unsigned comment added by BasicB (talk • contribs) 14:43, July 3, 2008 (UTC)

Reply on BasicB's talk page

Amalthea: if I look at 90210 (TV series), almost every sentence is followed by a link to the reference there too. Basic B: No I mean Beverly Hills 90210 - there is not one reference in the intro paragraph. The same for American Idol, not one reference for the intro paragraph. This goes for many articles on wiki. Wiki usually doesn't site sources for the first paragraph because that's a "summary" paragraph. Like in school when you write a thesis you usually don't need to reference the topic sentence so why should I reference every single sentence for Basic Black. Also you don't have to live in the US to watch the show. Just go to the WGBH website and watch. Anyone is open to watch Basic Black you know.

BasicB: Here's all the stuff for Beverly Hills 90210 that needs references. They list nothing in all this info like we discussed. Can you fix it:

Beverly Hills 90210 was a popular primetime television drama series that aired from October 4, 1990, to May 17, 2000, on FOX in the United States and subsequently on various networks around the world. The show followed the lives of a group of teenagers living in the upscale, star-studded community of Beverly Hills, California and attending the fictitious West Beverly Hills High School and then-fictitious California University. The show was created by Darren Star and produced by Aaron Spelling and Spelling Television. The "90210" in the title refers to one of the suburb's postal ZIP codes.

The original premise of the show was based around the adjustment and culture shock that twins Brandon (played by Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (played by Shannen Doherty) had after they and their parents, Jim and Cindy moved from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Beverly Hills. The show addressed several topical issues like date rape, alcoholism, domestic violence, gay rights, drug abuse, teenage suicide, AIDS, and teenage pregnancy.

The show gained popularity during the summer of 1991, when FOX aired a special "summer season" of the show while most other series were in reruns. The series became one of FOX's top shows when it began its next season that fall. Viewership increased dramatically and the cast members, particularly Jason Priestley and Luke Perry, became teen idols, while the series would make actresses Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling household names.

I will search for some more shows and let you know :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by BasicB (talk • contribs) 07:15, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Harassment

Hello, As a Wikipedia user I've taken it upon myself to make sure harassment is not taking place among other users. I've been tracking some of your comments on various user pages. Threatening users with the possibility of being blocked for disputes goes against Wikipedia policy. It also seems like you are exhibiting behavior listed under Wikipedia's definition of harassment. I'm going to be watching your interactions with others and if I see this behavior continue I will have to report it. Cheers Amazingstix (talk) 07:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

That coming from a user with two edits, one on his talk page and one here, is a bit dubious.
I guess I reverted one of your edits and put a warning on your user page? Feel free to discuss the edit in question with me. Until then, please read up on the Wikipedia user warnings and Wikipedia:Harassment. --Amalthea (talk) 10:53, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

I was coming here to leave a message about accusing me of sock what ever and I found that your being accused of harassment. Unbelievable. And you have all these complaints on your page from other people. You are trying to fake like an administrator. I'm going to report this too. You have no right to damage people's account, but accusing them of something they have not done. I'm reporting you. Napierk (talk) 16:45, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

And why won't you even allow the word African-American to be on the page with Basic Black like DoubleBlue suggested? The show is clearly about African Americans? Hence Basic Black.Napierk (talk) 16:50, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Whoa, I have been reviewing your history and it does look like you’ve been bothering people. At first I was upset and was going to stoop to your level, but in all honesty, I feel sorry for you. If the only way you can feel some sense of power in the world is by living through Wiki then that’s sad. Yes, you are not an administrator, but if one’s life revolves around cyberspace then perhaps that is a person that is not happy and I should not allow them to take me into petty quarrels. I don’t know if you made up those three people or not and try to pin it on me, but if someone has to do something like that then Wiki is not where I want to be. Feel free to message me back even though I will not read them. Take care and I truly do feel sorry for you :) Napierk (talk) 22:35, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Before you nominate something to be deleted for copyright make sure you can prove it. You have no credibility to say that it was copyrighted that is your opinion. Your opinion is like an a**hole every has one. Put up or shut up and provide some proof to your claims pal if not go bother someone else.

Reallmmablogger (talk) 17:40, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

I read the pages that you provided for the copyright they hold no water. There is no copyright . You would have known that if you read through each page you put. The only thing that each site has in common with page is that they all state Marc Ratner was a started as an Inspector for the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which is not copyright.

Hey listen If I was personally attacking you you would know about it. I am stating the facts. The facts are you are providing false information about a supposed copyright, and you are wrong that is not an attack on you personally. It is a voice against injustice that you are trying to pull.

Reallmmablogger (talk) 17:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Regarding your comments on User talk:Amalthea: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Amalthea (talk)

I read wikipedia policy on personal attacks. It does not state anything about proving someone wrong for recommending your aticle for a deletion when there is nothing wrong. You are trying to pull something but you have the wrong guy to try that with. Your information is mest up and it is absolutely wrong and should hold no water. thank you

Well I'm sorry, but I'm afraid they are. Taking pictures of moving trains is not easy as it is, but some of them appear to have been taken from a car? E.g. Image:MetratraindepartingElmhurst.jpg and Image:CN.jpg. Image:CSXTH2.JPG is very hazy, I guess it was taken through a train window?
I can live with adding one of them to related articles (e.g. I've left Elmhurst (Metra) untouched), but adding a whole gallery of pictures to articles that aren't even about trains just doesn't improve the articles.

ePost

Answers to your questions created on discussion page of ePost mentioned below:

Why was it a substantial copy of pages from http://indiapost.nic.in only with India replaced by Pakistan and India Post or Department of Post replaced by Al Tayyeb Group, which had an article here that was deleted?

I found this article somewhere in Wikiproject Pakistan and I impress to see such a social service organization that converts emails into postal mails and delivert Free of cost around the country Pakistan. I remember I heard about this in a program named GEOBOT listing on GEO Tv but i was unable to search website at that time. Still I am not able to search exact website of ePost. I have called Geo Tv about this and asked them about that. They told me that ePost now changed to Click2Mail and website under construction according to ePost team and they are coming back again on this independence day of pakistan on 14 August 2008. So i think about writing an article on Epost. becuase i dont have much information about this organiztion so i used website of India post which is offering services something like that to pick up some good words to introduce about Epost.

Why is it rated as a "high importance" article?

regarding this. i thnks its the only service in Pakistan & only in world which providing everything free of cost. Geo Tv told me that they will charge nothing.

Why is the company website link dead? As i told you its under construction according to Epost team. i heared this from Geo Tv

Why is the only reference a blog with exactly one article describing this service, under a different name even? i found it over internet. may be someone like me heared about this service but unable to find any thing exact. Why was it moved to Click2Mail which isn't mentioned anywhere else? Geo Tv told me that.

any thing more you wanted to know . please ask

• Oh you *found* the article? How comes you created an article called I-Post in the past then, if you just happened to find it later?
  Furthermore, you know by now, since you have been told a number of times on your talk page, that you can't simply copy content from arbitrary websites to wikipedia in violation of copyright. Stop doing that please.
• Wikipedia only accepts articles about companies that are notable and can be verified.
• Funny that you have high regards of all of the articles you came in contact with, or created: Talk:Pakistan German Business Forum, Talk:Japan - Pakistan business co-operation committee, Talk:Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce & Industry. Please inform yourself about the meaning of the quality and importance scale at Wikipedia:WikiProject Pakistan.
• Lastly, how comes that the original author of the article, User:Unitedequipment, happened add your name to a list on Wikipedia 19 months ago?

Template:Characters of The Bill (Detective Constables)

Hi
I saw that you removed the transclusion of Template:Characters of The Bill (Detective Constables) on a number of character pages, probably because it was broken. I fixed it and restored it in Kezia Walker, but maybe you had a different reason for removing them?
Cheers, Amalthea (talk) 23:08, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Amalthea. Yes I removed the template, but only because it was broken. Well done for repairing it, feel free to add it to any other relevant pages. Mark Bickley 09:47, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Sure thing, but would you mind giving me a copy of it? I would like to watchlist a number of this pages. You can send it via E-Mail if you want, or just restore it in your userspace for a short while. Thanks, Amalthea (talk) 08:13, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

No worries - have restored it to User:Gb/Anvil. I don't have a problem with it being in my userspace, so just let me know when you're done with it. Hope you have (had) a good weekend. _GB^T/C 11:08, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I apparently didnt check the history Internet Journal of Medical Update enough when I removed he deletion tag. It did sound familiar, but I had forgotten the earlier AfD. I could probably rewrite it, somenday but not now. Thanks. I've speedied it. DGG (talk) 09:26, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

scooby-doo

Alright, I guess that I understand your basic reasoning for deleting the article for SD& Goblin King article that I made, except for the fact that you consider taking information FROM THE BOX OF THE VIDEO and putting it on there? I put a reference to a website on there because all of the obsessive people who spend their time searching for errors clearly think that I would be lying about that. I'm not an 11 year old which is why I know that you don't copy other peoples words, which is why I copied the words from the box of the movie. Therefore, if the creator of the website was the author of the description of the video (nope! It was one of those websites that copies stuff from everywhere else, I don't know why I cited it except for the "Wiki team" makes sure all of their precious information is valid! Of course!). I can't write a plot about a video that's NOT OUT YET so I guess I took the only information any of us has (none of these websites has seen the movies, I'm guessing?) from the back of the DVD from the OFFICIAL website, which released the information to the public.

Question

Hello Amalthea, I noticed that you revert vandalism. Would you like me to grant your account rollback rights to help make vandal-fighting easier for you? Just remember that rollback, like Twinkle, should only be used to revert vandalism, and that misuse of the tool, either by reverting good-faith edits or revert-warring can lead to its removal. Tell me what you think. Thanks. Acalamari 16:26, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Rollback granted. Good luck with your new tool. :) Acalamari 17:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Of course. :) You're welcome. Acalamari 18:41, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

• Really? I can see it in both versions, that's why I figured you wanted it to be more prominent. I didn't want to sound harsh though, "insist" was probably too strong a word, sorry.
  Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 13:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

• Well you can in those versions, as I said it appeared if you previewed the edit (or looked at the direct id). It wasn't however appearing on the main page due to some technical glitch probably. –– Lid^(Talk) 21:12, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Quick question on the Belanger edits: is it really necessary to list the titles and opponents faced by Belanger when this info is in the main part of the article?MKil (talk) 21:10, 3 August 2008 (UTC)MKil

I mostly wanted the edit warring to stop before anyone breaks 3RR, and didn't think much about the two list sections that are still in. I don't know what the best form is here. It's not that there isn't precedent for having a detailed list of his boxing record, like with Mike Tyson#Professional boxing record. I doubt that this boxer is notable enough to warrant a list with *all* his fights though, and since all but one of the blue-linked boxers are already part of the prose, I'm inclined to agree with you. --Amalthea^Talk 21:25, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

hi amalthea, this is volkan's cousin in turkey...

he has played professionally for vestel manisaspor. sorry many other people have edited the page, but he is now playing at NYU and should be up on the team's page shortly.

thanks, can —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluebellll (talk • contribs) 00:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• What needs to be shown for him to pass WP:ATHLETE is that he competed in a fully professional league. Is that what you mean by "has played professionally", and can that be verified? --Amalthea^Talk 00:15, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

To explain, the original turkish article of him playing was posted on the team's website last summer, but since they have changed the site you can no longer see it. His dad however had obtained the article and posted it on his blog, which can be found here, which basically says he played the second half...

• As far as I understand that blog post it wasn't a league game, it was a friendly, so it doesn't make him pass WP:ATHLETE. Since you removed your last comment I copied over to the discussion page I won't do that again, so if you disagree please go to that page and make your case.

And just like that you'll loose my presence on your talk page. ;)
BTW, I don't think the google hits can really give you the most common spelling since both searches find both spellings (I have no idea why the number-of-hits differ), and the Census Bureau website itself couldn't call it Española if it wanted to, since it can't cope with non-Latin-1. But if no one can prove that Española is the official name (in which case I'd definitely think it should also be the page title) none of that really matters.

Hi Amalthea, I left a note there. I am no great fan or follower of celebs like Paris, I do follow politics and I must admit I was pleasantly surprised and even impressed with her reaction to McCain's ad.

the passion hifi

Although the actual statement of "the most downloaded in UK history" is without fact, its not without validity. The average UK mixtape manages about 2000-5000 pos sales in shops, online stores and maybe the same in downloads if you check the stats on his soundclick.com page it has over 175,000 downloads which is fair assumption that it is the most downloaded. I have noticed that there are over 1,070,000 total plays on downloads which would give credibility to his claims. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.105.22.125 (talk) 23:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

• If it's not verifiable though then it is of little value. And even if, a high number of downloads doesn't make him noteworthy for an encyclopaedia unless there's significant coverage of him in secondary, reliable sources (that is if he doesn't meet any criteria of WP:MUSIC).
  Feel free to go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Passion hifi though and take part in the discussion.

Notability of Jamario Thomas

Thank you for your concerns on the notability of Jamario Thomas. The Wikipedia:WikiProject College football welcomes discussions on notability of players. You can read and discuss notability of college football players at the College Football Notability essay.

The College Football project considers notability discussions of existing articles in the project a priority. While the project maintains in good faith that the article does indeed meet notability standards, we will begin additional work to improve the article in question through addressing specific concerns, providing more details, and supplying stronger sources as much as is appropriate. In return, we ask that you consider our essay on notability. If you feel an article needs a specific improvement, please feel free to make those changes yourself.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:12, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

• Hi Paul.
  I just read CFB:PLAYER (I admittedly didn't know it before), and am still not quite convinced.
  First of all, thus far I never applied the "highest level in amateur sports" to team sports if there's also fully professional league in the country. I would assume that something similar is also consensus at WP:CFB, since your interpretation at CFB:PLAYER lists a number of secondary criteria that alone would establish notability (essentially passes WP:BIO or competed in a fully professional league).
  Now if "led the nation in rushing as a true freshman" is really enough to pass the "completed a special noteworthy play or achievement" criterion by some kind of consensus at WP:CFB I will gladly withdraw my nominiation, although I personally think that this is not enough, since it's only one of a large number of statistical feats.
  Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 13:06, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the comments. I wonder why wouldn't the highest level of amatuer apply? I've heard that before and haven't really gotten an answer that makes sense. As to the rushing: Personally, I would definitely say that leading the nation in rushing as a Freshman is a noteworthy achievement, but I also would recommend against taking just my word for it--let the discussion play out and see what consensus comes up with. I've found that the occasional AfD on a player article really helps us at WP:CFB to come up with better guidelines. Also, the "active player" guidelines have yet to meet anything remotely looking like consensus at CFB.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:00, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

The Volten Sins

Hi
I'm curious about this deletion. You speedily deleted it as "A7 (group): Doesn't indicate importance or significance of a group/company/etc.", yet the article did say that the notable singer Jessica Jacobs was a member, which to me is not only an assertion of notability, but is a clear cut case of notability according to WP:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles, just as I said in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Volten Sins. Do you disagree?
Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 18:01, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Amalthea,

I didn't realize there was an AfD going on for that article - there wasn't a notice on the page, just a speedy delete tag. The article itself did not assert any notability of the band, only that Jessica Jacobs was in the band. That's a tenuous claim of notability if that's all that's stated. I did see all the links in the article, but were either self-promotional (which doesn't satisfy notability claims) and/or were links about Jacobs' notability, which doesn't mean the band is notable.

If you'd like, I can restore the article to your namespace, and/or restore it so that the deletion disscion can continue. Let me know on my talk page? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 18:39, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I don't want it restored, and I think it's very clear that the article wouldn't have survived the AfD in any case. I was just asking because, as I understand WP:MUSIC, it *is* considered notable by having "at least one member …", so it seems obvious that it does count as an assertion of notability. FWIW, Stifle was also of the opinion to speedy it, and I too think that this notability guideline is too strong, but I also think that speedy deletions should really go by the book.
Are you OK with me recreating it as a redirect to Jessica Jacobs, which I think is what WP:MUSIC suggests?
Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 19:05, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely - just did that. Thanks for writing - and thanks for your work! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 19:44, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi
I'm curious to know why you didn't consider Jessie Jacobs having been a member of The Volten Sins an assertion of notability in the AfD although that information is establishing notability according to WP:MUSIC? Note that you're not alone with this opinion since it was speedily deleted as an A7 in the meantime (and recreated as a redirect), so it's purely academic. :)
Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 20:40, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Amalthea!

Just to let you know that when I deleted the reference from the Sugababes' discography page, it wasn't because I didnt think that it was not going to be a single. When I deleted the whole thing the first time, there was no reference and no release date. When I deleted the reference, it was because it had been given a designated page and there was a clear reference and a lot more information. I hope that you dont think it was anything personal. Can't wait for the new single. BTW - now that it has its own page, there is no need for a reference. It is almost certain that it will be a single, but I'll let you get rid of the reference on the discography page, so that you dont get offended.91.105.177.73 (talk) 17:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

No worries, I thought you removed it because it wasn't a particularly reliable source in the first place, and a bit redundant with the source at the album.
I'd still rather keep it, because 1) it doesn't hurt, and 2) there technically shouldn't even be an article on an upcoming single yet (See WP:MUSIC). But I don't have a strong opinion on this either way, so if you want to remove it again feel free. Please put your reasoning into the edit summary though, lest someone mistakes the edit for vandalism.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/House of Binary

You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/House of Binary as Keep? I see two opinons to keep it and effectively two opinions to delete it (not counting the nom), and one pure vote by McCart42. I could both see a close as no consensus or a relist, but where do you see a consensus here? --Amalthea^Talk 06:32, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

The way I saw the AfD was with three keeps, two of which cite [[WP:#ALBUMS]]. I didn't look closely enough though, and counted as three keeps, one delete, and one redirect. I should of considered the redirect as a delete, and then wouldn't have closed it. At this point, should I change the outcome from "keep" to "no consensus" or relist it all together? /my inexperience shines through/ Leonard^(Bloom) 16:40, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

The Delete and the Redirect also cited WP:MUSIC, which I find remarkable in itself ;)
Since I've formed an opinion on the article before I don't really want to tell you what to do, both options sound reasonable to me.
Thanks & Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 16:46, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Racing Guantanamo are a regional team but the league is well known throughout the Kimberley area of Western Australia. They have appeared on local TV news, as well as print and radio media. There are other regional based teams with articles on Wikipedia, such as ECU Joondalup Soccer Club and Perth Soccer Club, both of which have never played in the A-League.

Hi. Thanks for the advice. I guess I should have looked at the page history first. Does this apply to all such articles where dates of birth are linked? TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:37, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, it is a rather unexpected change.
Per current consensus it applies to all articles, unless the link target is relevant to the article. But I wouldn't bother manually unlinking them. Lightmouse and Tony are doing it script-assisted, which also converts all dates on an article to the proper format for it, i.e. either 1 September 2008 or September 1, 2008.
Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 20:47, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

ok. Thanks for getting back to me. TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:49, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Greg Nelson (producer)

Hi Greg.
I the page blanking at Greg Nelson (producer) to be understood that you want to delete the page again? It was reverted in the meantime, but typically the only significant contributer can request an article to be deleted again if no one disagrees.
Since the article is already at discussion for deletion, I would just let it run its course. If you have anything to add to the discussion though, feel free to leave your comments here.
Thanks & Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 16:31, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi,

Greg Nelson here. I was confused by procedure and really didn't understand the process. Terminally right brained. I apologize for any improper entries or waste of your time I have caused no matter how innocently. Maybe some day I'll get it right.

Nelgreg (talk) 02:24, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, you did nothing wrong! And furthermore, if you have a look at the discussion here, it very much looks like your article will be kept.
Also, let me say that yours is the most neutral autobiography I've seen written here so far. So keep up the good work, maybe you want to write about other topics, too. One thing though, one of the most important priciples for an encyclopaedia is verifiability, so in a perfect article all facts should be backed by reliable sources.
Thanks & Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 07:41, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Why was NewsCred removed as a news aggregator?

Hi - I noticed you removed NewsCred from the list of feed aggregators (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_feed_aggregators). The comment was 'no article', so wondering what that meant? Do you mean that there is no WikiPedia article on NewsCred itself?

It seems a bit strange since very similar sites like Daylife, Topix etc are all listed, and NewsCred is just as 'notable' - whether its web traffic, coverage on mainstream press etc.

Just curious... Full disclaimer: I'm involved with NewsCred, but it was someone I know who added the entry. He also added an article about NewsCred, which was also taken down due to notability reasons. That was before our full public launch, so I can understand and will ask him to resubmit if he wishes.

I'm new to Wikipedia, and quite fascinated by this so appreciate the guidance.

Hi

First of all, welcome to Wikipedia!
I did indeed remove the Newscred article from the List of feed aggregators. In the past, this list has often been used to promote very small and non-notable (with respect to encyclopaedic inclusion) RSS readers, which is why per consensus only items with either an article here or some other assertion of notability should be included.
I researched NewsCred for a bit now, and although it is very young, I still saw enough news coverage in independant sources that led me to readd it to the list.
I personally don't think that it meets the notability guidelines for its own article yet. Per Wikipedia:Notability (web) it needs to "notable and of historical significance", which I don't see yet for NewsCred (I'm the first to agree though that this is violated by a number of articles in that list at the moment, but nevertheless).

Anyway, thank you very much for your civil message, and I especially appreciate your full disclosure of your co-foundership of Newscred. I hope that you stick around, I'm sure that there are also a lot of other articles that you can contribute to. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

One more thing, adding links to newscred in the external links section of arbitrary articles is probably not a good idea, per WP:LINKSTOAVOID and WP:LINKSPAM.
I also saw that you already opened a deletion review, so let's see how that turns out. As I mentioned above, WP:WEB is pretty strict, so don't be disappointed if it doesn't work out yet. Once it's been around a bit longer and there is enough in-depth coverage about it to be encyclopaedic and pass WP:WEB, it can simply be recreated.
Thanks & Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 12:35, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Editing user page

Thanx! It looks good!- Stereorock

Thanks

Thanks for all the feedback. I guess I will band together with some others and create a version on my the NewsCred article on my userspace (as someone suggested on the deletion review). Once it's of a high enough quality and there are more reputable sources/citations to back it up, will create a new article.

Also, I added a link to external news articles to a couple of Wikipedia articles. I read the guidelines, and will ensure I keep within them. It seems a bit strange not to have atleast one link to major news articles about a big event. It seems like it would add a lot of value. But point taken. Thanks for all your help again. Will start helping out in areas that I am familiar with! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shafqatislam (talk • contribs) 15:30, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Note that if you still want the old article as a starting point, talk to someone in Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles to do just that. They can undelete the old article and move it to your user space, so that you can work on it there. Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 16:45, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Battle of Latrun

Hi,
I have written the whole French version. My English is not good enough to translate this myself. So, I asked so support on different pages and Deborahjay agreed -step by step- doing the job.
We could have done the translation on a personal user page BUT she suggested we did it directly in order to leave people correct the article or information. But, if possible, not after the properly translated sections.
It is not wp:OWN. But it is hard job and it is easier and quieter if we can just work step by step.
In practice, I could simply remove all that came after the tag and claim : "not proper English" (some sections avec even 100% in French)... That is just easier.
Feel free to comment on my talk page if you don't understand my point or if your don't share my mind.
Thank you :-)
Ceedjee (talk) 15:05, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Maybe you should mention that in the inuse template explanation then—see {{Inuse-section}}, it allows for customized comments. I thought it only affected the one section, and the template originally was intended to minimize edit conflicts, which is why it's typically used to for less than a day only.
Anyway, I undid my edit, I hope that's enough to make future editors think twice.
Thanks for your comment, and for your work. Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 17:34, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your explanation.

I was not aware of that and unfortunately, Deborah is occupied on other topics.

Do you think a good solution would be to transfer "the non translated text" somewhere else while waiting she is ready ?

I follow your advice and add a comment.

Ceedjee (talk) 21:46, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

No, I agree with Deborah, if it's in the article space right away maybe someone else will find it and help out. I replaced the inuse-template with a completely customized notice now, to make it clearer that everything below is not finished yet. That should really be enough to have people at least look at the talk page before making big structural changes that could be problematic for the translation.
Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 23:38, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your help.

Kind Regards,

Ceedjee (talk) 05:16, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

(also posted on Ceedjee's talk page) If your translator is a bit busy atm, you might like to post a request at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English and/or use the {{Notenglish|NameOfLanguage}} template as well to help flag up the article to editors who work on translation. --Ged UK (talk) 07:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Just now I became aware of this discussion, trying to follow up after Garion96 objected to the use of Amalthea's template. Even though it's more explanatory than the simple "in-use" — apparently both are intended for brief-term use. It was actually a surprise to me that Ceedjee included unedited text, and even passages not translated to English, directly on the mainspace page, rather than continuing to use the sandbox. I applied the "in-use" template after the fact because it was the only one I found, so I appreciate your intervention, Amalthea. However, some other means is evidently required. Please see Garion96's User talk page where I'm trying to get this sorted out. Shall now investigate the suggestion made by Ged UK, above, or "not-proper-English" as suggested by Ceedjee, whom I'll also advise. -- Thanks, Deborahjay (talk) 03:00, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Billy Soose

I didn't "vandalize" the Billy Soose imput on Wiki. I knew the man- I knew him well and called him Uncle Bill. I had NO external links on that post. Don't get your posting a violation against me. Please explain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gamtnrealtor (talk • contribs) 03:09, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi
I agree that your edit was made in good faith, and I removed the revert notice again.
I would like to readd the first two paragraphs of your edit, that he opened "Billy Soose's Place". However as it was it doesn't fulfill one of the most important principles of this encyclopaedia, which is verifiability. There needs to be reliable sources where all facts can be checked against. An eye-witness account, like yours, does not qualify as such, I'm afraid. Do you know of a reliable source that can confirm that? It doesn't need to be available online.

Radar

Hi
I noticed that you started an AfD nomination of Radar (song), but didn't finish it. I undid for now, since I'm pretty sure that this article will be kept according to the guidelines. However, if you do want to nominate it and need help, feel free to reply here or on my talk page and I will help you with the steps or nominate it for you.
Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 13:37, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

hey...yes can you help me complete it.......Onceturn (talk) 13:42, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

OK, the steps are listed at WP:AFDHOWTO.

1. First, add {{subst:afd1}} to the top of the page you want to nominate. Make sure to provide an edit summary with the article explaining that you nominate it for deletion
2. Then follow the redlink in the AfD notification box saying "this article's entry" to open the deletion-debate page. Insert this text: {{subst:afd2 | pg=Radar (song) | cat=M | text=Reason the page should be deleted}} ~~~~
   Make sure to provide your reason why you think this article should be deleted.
3. At last, follow this link to the deletion log page and add the deletion discussion, by adding {{subst:afd3 | pg=Radar (song)}} to the top of the list.

Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 13:54, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello!

I noticed that you were kind enough to help User:Onceturn complete the nomination of Radar (song) for deletion. I wanted to let you know that a checkuser confirmed that Onceturn (talk · contribs) is a sockpuppet of banned user Brexx (talk · contribs), an infamous sockpuppeteer with a long history of copyright violations and disruptive editing. Subsequently, Onceturn has been indefinitely blocked from editing Wikipedia, the same as all of Brexx's sockpuppets. As a result of that, I wanted to inform you of this so that, if you so wish, you can withdraw the AfD nomination since you were the one posting it in the first place and the user on whose behalf you posted the nomination is not allowed to edit as per Wikipedia:Banning policy#Editing on behalf of banned users. You were very kind in helping, what seemed to be, a new user unfamiliar with Wikipedia and for that I commend you.

This is just a friendly heads-up.

Peace! SWik78 (talk • contribs) 20:26, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

As you suggested in your comment, I closed the debate of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Radar (song) as speedy keep.

Peace! SWik78 (talk • contribs) 20:14, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Thanks for the heads up, and the closure. I removed the AfD-Tag from the article.
