WARNING: If you've come here to "notify" me of an AFD of an article you nominated the chances are, based on previous nominations, that there is a 99.9% chance you are mistaken and that the article can be expanded and is encyclopedic. Articles I create are almost always kept or the content at least redirected into a parent article as I'm usually a good judge of notability. Please don't waste everybody's time opening AFDs unless you have google searched first. If you want an article expanded, kindly ask.

Template:Did you know nominations/Chiclana de la Frontera

Dr. Blofeld, I hope you will come back to DYK in aid of Template:Did you know nominations/Chiclana de la Frontera, do a review of some other DYK nomination, and release this one from purgatory. The quid pro quo review rule is still in effect for self-nominated DYKs (not for times when someone else nominates your work). If some of your self-nominations got approved without a review (because other volunteers weren't paying attention), consider it a bit of good luck -- it's not an indication that policies have changed. Please return because we all need your diverse contributions. --Orlady (talk) 04:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Kizlyarka

Started what? Here's the translation. Please copyedit it as necessary:

Kizlyarka is a type of grape vodka. Its name is derived from the town of Kizlyar (in the north of modern Dagestan). It is 40 proof. Its manufacture process is exactly the same as that of the Italian grappa or the Georgian chacha. It was mentioned in The Tale of Cross-eyed Lefty from Tula and the Steel Flea by Nikolay Leskov as kislyarka[unsourced for 215 days]: "Platov did not say anything back to the Tsar,... he returned to his apartment and asked his batman to bring a flask of Caucasian vodka-kislyarka from the cellar".

Originally, kizlyarka was the vodka of the House of Eristov[unsourced for 215 days], and was produced from fruit and berries. After the introduction of the vodka monopoly in 1894–1896, it was recategorized as a pseudo-Russian vodka. It was popular among the commoners."

Main page appearance: Abbas Kiarostami

This is a note to let the main editors of Abbas Kiarostami know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on February 17, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 17, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Abbas Kiarostami (born 1940) is an internationally acclaimed Iranian film director, screenwriter, photographer and film producer. An active filmmaker since 1970, Kiarostami has been involved in over forty films, including shorts and documentaries. Kiarostami attained critical acclaim for directing the Koker Trilogy (1987–94), Taste of Cherry (1997), and The Wind Will Carry Us (1999). Kiarostami has worked extensively as a screenwriter, film editor, art director and producer and has designed credit titles and publicity material. He is also a poet, photographer, painter, illustrator, and graphic designer. Kiarostami is part of a generation of filmmakers in the Iranian New Wave, a Persian cinema movement that started in the late 1960s and includes pioneering directors such as Forough Farrokhzad, Sohrab Shahid Saless, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Bahram Beizai, and Parviz Kimiavi. The filmmakers share many common techniques including the use of poetic dialogue and allegorical storytelling dealing with political and philosophical issues. Kiarostami has a reputation for using child protagonists, for documentary style narrative films, for stories that take place in rural villages, and for conversations that unfold inside cars, using stationary mounted cameras.

Bentworth

Thanks for looking at this, Dr. I've been meaning to for ages, but there was so much work to do on it that I've always shrunk from it. I live nearby in Alton, so it means a lot to me; I'll pop up there tomorrow if the weather's good and see if I can take some better photos. Ericoides (talk) 08:01, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

OK, good advice; will let you know how it goes. Ericoides (talk) 08:26, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

As it was such a lovely morning I've just been up there; took some good photos of the church, exterior and interior, some of both pubs, and some of the paths and houses. Bentworth Hall defeated me; I could see it in the distance but hadn't the time to walk there (along the lovely path whose name I now forget). I also picked up a pamphlet in the church on its history. Re Wivelrod and Theddon etc there is not much to photograph there, just private houses/farms on a narrow, muddy country road. I feel it's a bit strange even including them, as the article is about Bentworth village (if it were about the parish it would be entitled Bentworth parish, no?). They are quite far away from Bentworth, separated by wide stretches of countryside and feel quite distinct. Anyhow, I'll put the photos in a Bentworth category in Commons in an hour or so, and will look again tomorrow as I'm busy this afternoon. Ericoides (talk) 12:45, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, got the Hankin memorial (it's v high up on the wall so the perspective is odd) and also the Calland memorial (a priest, friend of Jane Austen). And the 13th-century font. The war memorial I might be able to crop. I'll have a go now. Ericoides (talk) 12:56, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, that should be the Holdip memorial (former rector, 1583-1606; statue was mutilated in Civil War). They're in Commons now. Ericoides (talk) 13:27, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll need to go back tomorrow to get a better pic of the font, get one of the pond to replace that horribly saturated one we currently have, sneak up on Hall Place and get a better pic than the one I got today (the sun was directly behind it) and try to penetrate through to Bentworth Hall. There are lots of discouraging signs in the village saying "You Are Being Watched" (I defaced one with "How welcoming!"), possible to deter pheasant and other thieves. Wandering round with a camera taking pics of private houses might be frowned upon, but I'll have my baby boy with me to soften any toxic encounters. Ericoides (talk) 14:03, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

No, I think I saw Hall Farmhouse on the north side of the road to Medstead. Bentworth Hall is 1km off the road, and as I mentioned, might need need some advanced fieldcraft to reach (although the postman must call). I'll also get a pic of the war memorial. Ericoides (talk) 14:18, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

I was wrong. I knew I had seen Hall Farm, but it's to the south, not to the north, of the main road. See here, page 4 [1] where it is outlined just beside what is really rather a sad little village pond (still frozen over today). Do you have the coords for B Hall? Ericoides (talk) 14:34, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

I'll review for GA as requested, starting in earnest tomorrow (unless someone gets in before me). One preliminary thought on first glance at the article: I believe the MoS enjoins us not to sandwich text between two images on either side of the page. As usual I find I can't quote chapter and verse, but you may like to consider the point while I'm giving the text a going-over. Tim riley (talk) 17:42, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Eastwood – possible FAC

I've had a very quick skim through the article. There's a hell of a lot of it, and I think you would get calls at FAC for it to be slimmed down to about two-thirds of its present length, in compliance with Wikipedia:Article size#A rule of thumb – "articles with prose more than 100KB in size almost certainly need to be divided". Tim riley (talk) 14:18, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

I don't say agree with the 100KB rule of thumb, and Ssilvers and I have been wrestling mightily to get Arthur Sullivan down to acceptable length with a view to FAC, so I have much sympathy with your comment. But your question was to nominate or not to nominate, and I strongly suspect you'll have trouble over "excessive" length if you do, whatever my personal views on the subject. There is somewhere (though I can't now find it) a list of longest FACs. Nikita Kruschev's, I think, is the runner-up, but I've forgotten who wins. At all events Clint's article is longer than Nikita's, so be prepared for flak. Tim riley (talk) 14:41, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Adolf Benda

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Adolf Benda requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 23:08, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of Adolf Benda for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Adolf Benda is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adolf Benda until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 23:20, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

"If you've come here to "notify" me of an AFD of an article you nominated the chances are, based on previous nominations, that there is a 99.9% chance you are mistaken and that the article can be expanded and is encyclopedic. Articles I create are almost always kept or the content at least redirected into a parent article as I'm usually a good judge of notability. Please don't waste everybody's time opening AFDs unless you have google searched first. If you want an article expanded, kindly ask."

I rest my case.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:19, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Lorestan

I have created articles for all the villages recognized by the Iranian census of 2006 in Lorestan. Apart from the late unpleasant disruptions (ahem...), the last county (Selseleh County) took extra long due to the huge amount of villages that needed to be disambiguated (see: Category:Populated places in Selseleh County to get a feel of the job). Just under 3000 new articles, about twice that many redirects, and about 600 new disambiguation pages, and countless hatdabs, and additions to existing articles, dab pages, etc. One down, 30 to go.

I'm almost done with Ivanovo Oblast and have created a template for Kemerovo Oblast at Chebulinsky District. Kemerovo Oblast is easy—the refs are all the same. However, please skip Mezhdurechensky District—it's an odd one out and I'll take care of it separately. Also, as you may have noticed, I've skipped Kaliningrad and Kaluga Oblasts entirely—the districts of those are too dissimilar to be able to templatize them, so I'll be taking care of them separately as well.

I find the most effective plots are sometimes the oldest plots. Slap a critique on the talkpage, I recommend yelling "THIS ARTICLE IS CRAP" with one or two points, they same ones watching the articles will watch the talkpage, and most likely at the very same moment they realize that the article is crap, they also realize they are lazy. And there you go. Penyulap _talk 15:15, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi again Doctor, the two of you, need to take your discussions to the talkpage of the article. That's where other editors can help solve the problems between your differing opinions. You're not getting the response you would like at ANI because you have failed to do this, and nobody is required to tell you so. But I will. Give that talkpage thing a try ok ? Penyulap _talk 04:28, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

I did approach the editor on his talk page and he still persisted in reverting. ANI as I'm fully aware pretty much sucks but I was unwilling to continue reverting him 10 times. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:01, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

well, it's best to 'cover all your bases' by putting something everywhere so ANI can't say "HA! look at THAT!". Also, critique is easier than editing sometimes, and when you do a little bit first, it works wonders. Penyulap _talk 14:56, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:NT Rama Rao.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:NT Rama Rao.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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. 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. X.One ^SOS 12:52, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

I don't mean to be difficult. I see what I see and I have explained it as plainly as I can. I don't want to look at it again unless you have changed it. I just keep seeing that wikilink and I cannot get passed it.--Ishtar456 (talk) 23:28, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

1. no, you did not do anything to offend me...until now. I felt as if I explained the problems several times to you and I was getting no where. I finally X'd the nom when it seemed to me that you were not going to fix the problem. I certainly was not going to change my mind. I have had a recent review removed from prep. and it is not my intention to be that kind of reviewer. When you posted on my user page yesterday, you did not even mention that you had changed the hook. All you had to do was say "I changed the hook, can you take another look at it". I certainly would have under those circumstances. It seemed reasonable to me for me to abandon the process when you come on to my user page and accused me of "making things exceptionally difficult"

2 I very recently suggested on the DYK discussion page that it should be a policy to that a reviewer finish a review once he/she starts it. I was told that that was unreasonable. So, I know I had no duty to continue that review, especially when you had been so contentious to me off the official discussion.

3. If you are disheartened by DYK, either become part of the solution to the problems that are bothering you or take a break from it. This experience with you has certainly disheartened me, especially the comments you made after your nom passed and you had what you wanted.

• Just as a side note: Your nom has been there only a couple of days. Mine has been there a week (just under yours) and no one has touched it. It would have been far better for me to have made a quick pass of your nom (as I have done in the past) which is what I expected when I started it. Then maybe you would have seen mine and considered doing it. But once I realized that you were going to be stubborn about the problem I gave up. 'nuf said. Let's move on.

St Lawrence's

Thanks for the message, Doc. If you'd like to do it please go ahead. I'm afraid I don't have that much time these days and have given that article about as much energy as I can muster. Good luck if you do decide to do anything! William de Alton could do with some expansion; I could find precisely zilch about him, and his date of birth is an embarrassment... Ericoides (talk) 22:45, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I noticed that you'd done some work on those. You really are an honorary local and must know more about where I live than I do... Ericoides (talk) 22:50, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Steep could do with a bit of expansion too. I keep meaning to go there; there's lots about it in Now All Roads Lead to France, a recent book on Edward Thomas (poet) that's quite excellent. Ericoides (talk) 22:55, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

For the barnstar! The article is nothing much, I've just been trying to develop the Syrian locales subject area lately. One town at a time.

mass creation (not you)

Hey, just thought I would notify you, re Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#possible_violation_of_Wikipedia:Bot_policy_specifically_WP:MASSCREATION as you appear to have some involvement with the editor, and I know you have an opinion on the mass creation thing.

Clint Eastwood

You have reverted with no explanation detail which is clearly excessive for the article. Please do not reinsert it, it belongs in the article about the film and not in a more general article about Eastwood. If you compare the edits, you should be able to see that it reads much better omitted. You have also by the way restored twice a grammatical mistake which I fixed. Regards, Jprw (talk) 18:05, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Overall, I find his edit constructive, but the paragraph 2 content removal is questionable.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:47, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Catholic Association of South Kanara

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Catholic Association of South Kanara requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:12, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Halo

what is ur problem, if fair use image is a problem I have removed it in cheif minister ship of NT Rama Rao, and why ru removing constructive information, if u wish to include references, please do so, dont delete relevant constructive information.

(Moviehub (talk) 13:23, 10 March 2012 (UTC)).

You keep restoring bare urls to non reliable sources.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:24, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

bare URL's

Please, I have no idea about bare URL's, if that is the case please include them why ru deleting constructive content, you are free to refill references and bare URl, dont delete constructive content

(Moviehub (talk) 13:26, 10 March 2012 (UTC)).

NT Rama Rao

Haven't used my watchlist since November (schoolwork means that my wikitime is devoted to new writing, when I have any wikitime at all), but I've looked over the article. Note that you're at 3RR; this is definitely edit warring, and although 3RR hasn't been breached, I could block both of you, although since you came in and asked me for help, I suppose I'm involved and shouldn't be issuing any blocks or making any protections. That being said, I have to question the idea of splitting political and cinematographical careers; we don't do that with Arnold Schwarzenegger or Ronald Reagan, the only people whom I can think of that became prominent in film and then held important political posts. Nyttend (talk) 13:29, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

By the way, you refer to "his political article", but the only one I can find is Chief Ministership of N. T. Rama Rao, which you started. What article do you mean? Nyttend (talk) 13:30, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Umm, you must have misread what I said above: I definitely do not support Moviehub's removal of the political content. Nyttend (talk) 14:06, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

okay

please study the rules of wikipedia first do what ever, you want, but I will include my content and additional sources and re write intro section. (Moviehub (talk) 13:32, 10 March 2012 (UTC)).

please not this:

1. I have checked your issue of Bare URL's , there are only 6-7 bare URl's included, in the version which I recommended.

2. Your current version is full of grammar mistakes and lack of cohesion and original research in it, with kindergarten english level and unprofessional language.

3. I will correct The bare URl's and correct grammar and then will re write the quality version, that which you lacked. which I recommend will be included by me, in fact the reference of bare URls are appropriate, but they are just added as bare URL's all your cited references are un reliable.

4. I will correct your mistakes, so that in future you dont harras fellow editors

5. I cant understand why people like u make wikipedia a hell of a experience with non sense and POV

(Moviehub (talk) 14:24, 10 March 2012 (UTC)).

I use "kindergarten english level and unprofessional language", "I make wikipedia a hell of a experience with non sense and POV". Haha that's one of the funniest things I've heard anybody say in quite a long time on here!!! Coming from somebody who can't even spell the word "harrass" or "you", doesn't know to use a capital letter for English, and comes up with expressions like "please not this" and can't even sign his name properly. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:29, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Halo

I have not typed any mistakes, with respect to grammar, spelling and cohesion in my contributions in articles, I was frustrated because of ur abusive behaviour. You were talking about bare url's which in fact were published sources, the so called your non URL references are secondary sources which are unreliable.

(Moviehub (talk) 14:39, 10 March 2012 (UTC)).

This is not POV, it says one of the finest, please change the line not the content for gods sake, check the article Kamal Hassan

(Moviehub (talk) 14:42, 10 March 2012 (UTC)).

please undo undo whole edits

if u wish to change change the line and specific content
