== Article title change request: [[Andrew Daniel]] ==

Hi Cindy. :) Can you please change the article title of [[Andrew Daniel]] to Drew Daniel, his common name? That's the only name he's ever gone by in his career (and personal life). He was a contestant on the TV show, Big Brother. Here are a few links for verification: [http://urbanacitizen.com/main.asp?SectionID=3&SubSectionID=5&ArticleID=139174], [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1663629/], [http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother5/guests/drew/index.shtml], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_USA_season_5#HouseGuests] and [http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/big_brother_5/2004_Sep_22_drew_wins]. I just updated the article a bit; another editor previously entered his name as "Drew Daniel" in the infobox.

GOCE March drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive update
GOCE March 2012 Backlog Elimination progress graphs

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! Here's the mid-drive newsletter.

Participation: We have had 58 people sign up for this drive so far, which compares favorably with our last drive, and 27 have copy-edited at least one article. If you have signed up but have not yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us!

Progress report: Our target of completing the 2010 articles has almost been reached, with only 56 remaining of the 194 we had at the start of the drive. The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far.

Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion. This work has helped make the drive a more pleasant experience for all our volunteers.

Your drive coordinators – Dianna (talk), Stfg (talk), and Dank (talk)

Major Israel McCreight

I requested a G6 deletion for a move over Major Israel McCreight. Major was not an army rank, it was the name he was called. Ryan Vesey 12:13, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you, Ryan! I went ahead and moved it earlier from the MIM misreading the content. I somehow read that he was a military major working with the Native American Indians. I've worked on several articles about the military in South Dakota and this article looked like the same. Of course, when I went to do some cleanup, my mistake was clear, then I got distracted with read life issues. Thanks again for your work. You are appreciated!

New User

Hi, is it possible to make your user page locked to editing by other users? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dp51499 (talk • contribs) 23:27, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi there! Userpages may be protected by request, if there is evidence of vandalism/disruption or another good reason to do so. User talk pages are rarely protected, and are semi-protected for a short time, only in the most severe cases of vandalism from IP users. I don't see that there has been disruption of any kind on your userpage, so protecting it would not be feasible. Don't worry about others changing your page, since it can always be restore to your desired version. Continued vandalism of any kind, would be blocked. I've been on Wikipedia for several years and I think my userpage has only been targeted once. Of course, I don't make (many) waves here. If your page is vandalized, feel free to contact me anytime for assistance. You can also make a request for protection at this link: WP:RPP. Hope all is well! Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 02:19, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wytch Farm (farm)

I think we had an edit conflict—at the same time I was moving Wytch Farm (Farm) to Wytch Farm (farm), you were tagging the former for CSD. The end result is that the redirect is now nominated for deletion and I got the CSD notice versus the article and the article creator. I suspect you'll want to try this one again.

Kurt Oscar Weber

Hello, Cindamuse, Thank you very much for your enhancements of the Kurt Oscar Weber Wikipedia website. Colette Lindner Weber was Kurt’s 1st wife. The Swiss reporter misspelled her name. I have an old announcement from a Mexican Newspaper which announces their wedding. We have a link to her death http://harrellfuneralhomes.com/services.asp?page=odetail&id=27073&locid= I knew Kurt for 25 years and met Colette on several occasions. This is my justification for changing the last name to Lindner. Kitkatcook (talk) 22:14, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hey there! Thanks for contacting me. In cases such as this, we cannot rely on personal knowledge, or what we refer to as original research. The correct action here is not to disregard one name for the other, but to reflect both names in the article. I removed your initial revision, due to the inclusion based on an unreliable source (peoplefinders.com), which differed from the subject's own Web site. The obituary is a reliable reference, so we can simply state that different sources indicate a variation in recording her surname. Then indicate those names and provide the sources. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks again. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 02:36, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Tempo Reale

Hello Cindamuse. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Tempo Reale, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Being founded by Luciano Berio is a good enough claim to pass A7. Also see it:Tempo Reale. Thank you. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 17:44, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do not appreciate your effort

First of all: opening with a line like "Welcome to Wikipedia" and "Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia" when communicating with a regular user is distasteful. Second, It may well be that you are right. Perhaps you are a native speaker of English, and hence, you can behold something in the text that I can't. It is not a big concern. Given that this is a stub article and I do not think that putting those tags there had any justification. I would rather you fixed the mistakes why you put the tags there rathen than edit-warring over them.--Nmate (talk) 09:20, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • When editors review new articles, a responsibility of the process includes identifying any outstanding issues and placing maintenance templates. Verifiability is one of the core policies on Wikipedia. Creating articles lacking references is a vital concern in the community. The "welcome" comment in the template is a standard message. Note that removal of maintenance templates, without addressing the issues to which they refer is considered disruptive. Restoring these templates is not edit warring, but ensuring compliance with community standards. If you have questions or need help with anything, please feel free to contact me. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 09:31, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • But you are edit-warring with me. We have a policy about the 3RR rule saying that it is prohibited making more than 3 reverts on a single page within a 24 hour period under which there are some exemptions like obvious vandalism, BLP violation, and reverting any edits to your own talk page. However, what you think of reverting disruptive editing superabundantly falls under the 3RR rule. In case you should not believe me, you are free to ask for anyone else's opinion about what the 3RR rule says.-Nmate (talk) 09:50, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • (talk page stalker) Nmate, maintenance templates are not there to criticize, they are there to help attract people to improve articles - they put the article in special categories that other people (eg copy editors) will examine to find things to work on. And if they are valid tags, you must not keep removing them - if you continue to do so, I will block you from editing myself. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:55, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • As an example, look at Halabor. It has no references and it should have some, and it could indeed do with a little bit of copy editing. Those two tags are, therefore, appropriate, and are intended to attract the attention of people who work on referencing unreferenced articles, and copy editors, respectively. You should not remove them. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:01, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of Days of our Lives characters (2010s) is a moderately close paraphrase, but it is not completely a paraphrase. It is probably too close, but might be saved by some drastic rewriting. I listed it on todays copyright problems. DGG ( talk ) 18:52, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fall 2012 Online Ambassador Inquiry

Hi Cindamuse, I am interested in your skills as a course ambassador. I am teaching a graduate course in psychology with just 4 students. I am working on my course page but won't finish creating it until I have identified an online ambassador. Please let me know if you are willing to be the ambassador for my course.

Re: Ultrasoft - pictures marked for speedy deletion

Hi Cindamuse, please do not delete those pictures, I think I have clearly stated when I was uploading them, that I myself am Louis Wittek, founder of Ultrasoft and have therefore copyright to all those game titles and their artwork (as I have co-created & published every single one of them) as well as those magazine covers (as I was a founder, chief editor & publisher of Bit). If you need any proof of my identity, or indeed a proof that I actually was a managing director of the aforementioned company, please do not hesitate to ask me. Thank you for your understanding, Louis Wittek --NeonPuffin (talk) 15:22, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oh, I won't delete the images personally. I've just requested a community discussion. The Fair Use policy requires that images accompany articles about the subject of the image presented, offering critical commentary. For example, cover art of an album may be used in an article specifically about the album, but cannot be used in an article about the musician. In the same vein, you have used the cover art images of video games and magazines in an article about an organization. The community will be discussing the Fair Use policy, as it applies to the Ultrasoft article and use of the images added. Note that while I have no reason to disregard your claims of identity or copyright ownership, we cannot rely on assertions without irrefutable proof. This is done for the protection of individuals and organizations holding copyright. I would recommend that you follow through with donating the images by reviewing the process and contacting the Wikimedia Foundation as instructed at the link. If you need help or have additional questions, please feel free to contact me anytime. Cindy(talk to me) 16:34, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see. With regards to: "...cover art of an album may be used in an article specifically about the album, but cannot be used in an article about the musician..." - this is precisely why I did not use a single cover of a game or a screenshot from a single game, but a collage of several artworks. This has a twofold function: a) it demonstrates the type of products the company was producing. b) it serves as an unmistakable proof that the company actually existed and produced the products which it claims it did (as per General notability guideline: "'Significant coverage' means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content.") Also, I am not planning to create a web page for each of the Ultrasoft's games, as I do not think they themselves are very significant (perhaps later, maybe a couple of the most successful titles) so it is necessary to illustrate for the reader what type of products are we talking here about. Similarly with the Bit magazine - the collage picture both demonstrates how the magazine looked like, and, backs the claim that it actually existed and has been issued between those two dates as stated in the article. And again, I have no intention to create a separate web page for the magazine, as I do not consider it so significant in itself. What is significant is the company Ultrasoft, which produced 10 times more titles than some companies e.g. Cyberdreams which are listed on Wikipedia for years, so I do believe that by not including it, the significant and important piece of the puzzle which makes up the history of video game development would be missing.
  • With regards to: "...I would recommend that you follow through with donating the images..." - I thought that is precisely what I did - donated the images to Wikimedia Foundation. Or not? Frankly, uploading images on Wikipedia is not what I would call a simple or straightforward process :o)) - So where did I go wrong? What option I was supposed to tick? Thanks for your help. --NeonPuffin (talk) 12:12, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article For Deletion: Devyn Rose

Hello, thank you for reviewing our article. Tanya T6 is now Devyn Rose and if people go to the Tanya T6 wiki, it will redirect to Devyn Rose who she is now? We will add as much information as possible and what you recommend. We can delete the page Tanya T6 if that helps, please let us know.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by PinkStaircase (talk • contribs) 16:39, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wikipedia guidelines require article titles to use common names. The accurate title is Tanya T6. The subject is known professionally as Tanya T6 and has recorded as such. At this point though, the article title is moot. Notability has not been shown according to established guidelines. As such, the article has been placed for deletion. You will find the information regarding the deletion process on your user talkpage. Please feel free to participate in the discussion. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 16:46, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Arthur Singer - article title change request

Hi Cindy! Can you get the title of Arthur Singer changed to Artie Singer. He always went by Artie Singer in his career, so it's his common name. Even his orchestra was called the Artie Singer Orchestra. Arthur is only his birth name. Here are some links for verification: [1][2][3][4][5].

A barnstar for you!

The Real Life Barnstar
Sometimes real life intervenes with the ways of WP. You were kind enough to realize this, based on your own experience, for which you have my deepest sympathy. I know how you're feeling. Thank you, sister, for keeping it real. DracoE 22:09, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Tea Leaf - Issue Six

Hi! Welcome to the sixth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!

  • Teahouse serves over 700 new editors in six months on Wikipedia! Since February 27, 741 new editors have participated at the Teahouse. The Q&A board and the guest intro pages are more active than ever.
A lovely little teahouse nestled in Germany from Wiki Loves Monuments
  • Automatic invites are doing the trick: 50% more new editors visiting each week. Ever since HostBot's automated invite trial phase began we've seen a boost in new editor participation. Automating a baseline set of invitations also allows Teahouse hosts to focus on serving hot cups of help to guests, instead of spending countless hours inviting.
  • Guests to the Teahouse continue to edit more & interact more with other community members than non-Teahouse guests according to six month metrics. Teahouse guests make more than twice the article edits and edit more talk pages than other new editors.
  • New host process implemented which encourages anyone to get started as a Teahouse host in a few easy steps. Stop by the hosts page and become a Teahouse host today!
  • Host lounge renovations nearing completion. Working closely with Teahouse hosts, we've made some major renovations to the Teahouse Host Lounge - the main hangout and resource space for hosts. Learn more about the improvements here.

As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

SVS_Educational_Institutions

MS Cindy, please check there are two article of same institute , I do wonder which one is original , so had tagged both for deletion , article 1 , article 2 Shrikanthv (talk) 06:29, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Before tagging anymore articles for deletion, please review the deletion policy, including the criteria for speedy deletion. The A7 is not a "catch all" and never an appropriate criteria for schools. When reviewing two similar articles, 1. check to see if one can be merged to the other and merge if possible, then place an A10 CSD (rather then A7) on the article from which content has been merged, indicating the name of the duplicate article; 2. if the initial articles are the same, check the article to see which one was created first, then place an A10 CSD (rather then A7) on the article and indicate the name of the duplicate article. If you need help, please feel free to ask. Cindy(talk to me) 11:54, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article title change request: Andrew Daniel

Hi Cindy. :) Can you please change the article title of Andrew Daniel to Drew Daniel, his common name? That's the only name he's ever gone by in his career (and personal life). He was a contestant on the TV show, Big Brother. Here are a few links for verification: [6], [7], [8], [9] and [10]. I just updated the article a bit; another editor previously entered his name as "Drew Daniel" in the infobox. Thanks! --76.189.126.159 (talk) 18:18, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
