I did not make personal attacks. I simply said that I would be angry if my page was taken down. Who wouldn't. I worked really hard on that page. Then I am told that my sources are bad when they are written by the creator of the film himself. After that I am told that the page is a autobiography. Alien Adventures (The s is there) is not a true story. The film may be about me and my friends, but the story is nearly complete fiction. You cannot take down my page for FisherQueens reasons and this is why: {{URL|www.codykmovie.blog.com}}. That has all the sources. I did not make any personal attacks, I only stated the facts. Thank You, Cody T. Kear, The Director of {{Alien Adventures (Film)|Alien Adventures}} |

FYI
I just blocked It's The JTN Bros (talk · contribs) compared to your block of The JTN Bros (talk · contribs). Poke me on my talkpage if you need me further. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 13:27, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
Please stop making false accusations.
I am not 174.3.66.128, so the views expressed by him/her is not my views. Furthermore the it is very easy to find sources for the facts in his comment, and the facts are interesting in regards to the article which the talk page belongs to. PerDaniel (talk) 14:45, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- You will note that I amended my comment to reflect your restoration of soapboxing by others. I don't see any suggestion there for article improvement, just complaint about Harper with no suggestions about article improvement. Removal of such digressions is not "censorship", and you've moved into edit-warring by restoring it yet again. Acroterion (talk) 14:48, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- I forgot to mention your second false accusation: That the vandalism I reverted wasn't vandalism. How can it be anything but vandalism when someone claims that a disputed viewpoint is false? I thought that wikipedia was supposed to be an encyclopedia? PerDaniel (talk) 14:57, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- You're painting a content dispute as vandalism. Vandalism usually involves the word "poop" or something of a similar nature. Don't characterize disagreement (or someone's mistaken edit) as vandalism. Wikipedia isn't a battleground: characterizing other editors as vandals is not conducive to a collegial editing environment. Acroterion (talk) 15:18, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- No, I interpreted it as vandalism. I really can't see how anyone can interpret the insertion of a clearly false statement as anything else. PerDaniel (talk) 10:34, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
- The edit was not vandalism by Wikipedia's usual interpretation: as I said, vandalism usually is along the lines of "Marissa iz a poopyhead." The appropriate summary in this case would be "inappropriate editorializing," "commentary unsupported by source," or just plain "citation needed," but it's not vandalism. Labeling other editors as vandals is inflammatory and distracts from the specific issues associated with the edit. Providing an objective, specific edit summary is more polite and allows other participants to see what might be the real problem, rather than just a curt dismissal. It also makes your views more likely to be taken seriously. Acroterion (talk) 11:45, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll remember that any edit not containing four letter words is by definition made in good faith, and that there are other labels I can put on edits that reduce the quality of an article. PerDaniel (talk) 19:34, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
- Basically correct and insightful: we'll make a Wikipedian out of you yet. Acroterion (talk) 19:46, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
Coal fields and their towns
Hey- Thought I would let you know that I was able to link over 97% of the town names listed in the coal fields of Winding Gulf, New River etc etc. They are now seen as list articles! Thanks again for starting those. Linking them and all of their towns was funCoal town guy (talk) 16:32, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for finishing the job: you are obviously the right guy to do it, and I appreciate your efforts. Acroterion (talk) 03:14, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
- I just joined the Eastern KY Coal Field Task Force....(thats a T shirt) here on Wikipedia. We are really really close to being possibly one of the best resources on the web for ID'ing coal towns......YES, thats niceCoal town guy (talk) 12:37, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
You Deleted My Article on DocMate
Hello Acroterion, I posted an article on DocMate.com and was wondering why it got deleted. I know the website is not active yet, but was setting up the wiki page early cause it said it would take several days to get reviewed. We are launching the website on Friday, so i was wondering how I would go upon to get the DocMate wiki page up? Is there anything else i would have to add or that I missed? Please let me know and hope to hear form you soon. Thank You, DocMate — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smdocmate (talk • contribs) 16:59, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
- It was promotional in nature on behalf of a site that doesn't yet exist and which doesn't appear to be sufficiently notable to be included if it did exist. Wikipedia isn't a place to promote your website. Please read WP:WEB, WP:CORP, WP:SPAM and WP:COI: you are strongly discouraged from writing about your business, since it's hard to maintain an appropriately objective distance from the subject. Acroterion (talk) 17:04, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
deletion of Michael Sabatini page
Hello. I think you deleted the draft I had done on Dr Michael Sabatini. This was a first draft and I had not completed it, so the significance of the person (eco-innovation in development and material sourcing) does not apear. I wonder is it possible for me to retrieve this text so I can work on it? I am afraid I do not have a copy so if you could guide me how to retrieve the original text I would be very grateful. I am new here so am afaraid I did not understand a work in progress should not be listed Many thanks.Hawarden10 (talk) 15:32, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
- I deleted it because it amounted to a great deal of speculation about a living person: see WP:BLP, which applies to all namespaces, including user drafts. "High net-worth individual" and "is believed to have" aren't really satisfactory for a biography. The references were just links to websites rather than specific references supporting the content. I'm willing to restore the content, minus the problematic characterizations, provided you undertake to provide specific references and to indicate why this person meets the inclusion guidelines at WP:BIO. Being rich isn't enough; there must be significant coverage in independent sources, and the content must be directly supported by the references. Acroterion (talk) 15:41, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
Many thanks. I would be grateful if you could restore the content, and I will then copy and paste it and then take it off the page. I will work on it offline until I get something of quality. I need to complete the references (newspapers, date, page number etc), scholarly papers etc. The signifance of the subject is that in both areas Dr Sabatini invests in (real estate, luxury goods), he is insisting on state of the art ecologically friendly development, and applies criteria as regards sourcing of luxury goods which respect environmental and social considerations. This is very important as all the geographical areas affected are environmentally at risk. Often too, foreign investment in some of these areas carries the risk of social exploitation in terms of wages, conditions etc. The interest for me is not the financial aspect as such but some quite revolutionary ideas of this individual as regards introducing ecological and social considerations as decision-making criteria for high-profit profit mainstream venture capitalism and private investment. The article will be focusing on this aspect. Thank you again. Hawarden10 (talk) 16:51, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Can You review the new article OProject@Home. I am waiting very long for the acceptance of this page. Page is available [1] here.
–– Leoo512 (talk) 12:10, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- Since I haven't worked at AfC before, I'll let one of the regular AfC participants do it. It looks good on a superficial level, but it's definitely not my field. You might want to post at WP:AFCHD since it's been languishing, and I'll drop a note once I get back on the wiki in an hour or so. Acroterion (talk) 12:48, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
is part of Wikipedia:School and university projects/Polytechnic of Namibia/Information Competence, September 2012/Logistic and Transport Management and I've had another one posting spam from there. I think they are doing what they have been told (or what they think they've been told), but there's no way anyone here would know the difference if they hadn't found the project (like I did, being nosy). I've sent User:Pgallert a message as he seems to be involved on the organising side. Peridon (talk) 15:14, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
- The suspicion that it was a school project has been gradually dawning for me as well. I'd be glad to unblock if they'd just stop posting spam for a hotel: there's plenty of other possibilities in Namibia for articles. Acroterion (talk) 15:16, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, I already nuked one autoblock on the school. Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:32, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Anthropology dicta
Hey Acroterion, there seems to be an issue over on the Negroid and Mongoloid pages with an anonymous ip/new account. He or she has been replacing the neutral, sourced assertions that the terms are still in use by some anthropologists but criticized by others with declarations that they are universally discredited. This is of course at odds with our Race (human classification) page on the race validity debate. Another editor has also attempted to explain this to him/her [2], but seemingly to no avail. If it's no trouble, could you take a look? I'm concerned that it may perhaps be that same blocked trolling user again. Kind regards - Soupforone (talk) 01:15, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
- They do seem to be landing on the subjects with both feet. I removed a certain amount of editorializing. I've, of course, blocked a series of sockpuppet accounts, but this editor seems to be different (and we just had a checkuser on those accounts, so this one can't be related). I'll leave a note on their talkpage about using the article talkpages rather than communicating entirely in edit summaries. Acroterion (talk) 01:30, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for October 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Youngerman Block, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Polk County Courthouse and Randolph Hotel (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Newtown-Stephensburg Historic District
Hey Acroterion, I am having some trouble figuring out where to start on the Newtown-Stephensburg Historic District page. When I created it, it looked like I had all the information available (outside of Wikipedia mirrors). I checked again today and it looks like I still do. I did find a Google Book with some information about the Historic District, but nothing really new I don't already have down. Do you know where I should start on this one? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 17:06, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
- The nomination document (referenced already) [3] has a fair amount of detail on the contributing buildings. The trick will be to boil it down so it's not just a rehash of the NRHP docs. Beyond that, you'll probably have some difficulty unless you can bring in some Civil War aspects that weren't significant enough to cover in the Stephens City article. Acroterion (talk) 17:09, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
- I did want to cover the houses that might have historical significance. I know some of them are just residences but some are historical properties, mostly owned by the town or the Newtown History Center, that have been restored to their original exterior and interior. One is a pure wooden building that is currently used as a CPA's office. It is dated back to the 1780s, I do believe. Another is the old store that was the imfamous building where the "Order to Burn" Stephens City was nailed to the door. It has hosted numerous businesses, a knick-knack shop is there now. I would like to post more about those, the only problem is most of the information is from either the Newtown History Center or original research. There aren't any books or websites I can look at for information. :S - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:40, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
- Another question for ya, where would I find historic population figures for towns, like Stephens City? Google just plain isn't being my friend tonight on this one. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:49, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Deleted page Mr. Envi'
Hi,
I've been following this artist since last fall after I heard one of his songs on the radio. Even though he's an unsigned indie artist who owns his own label, he still manages to market himself just as well as an established indie label. I created his page because I feel that some of the unsigned artist that have been investing and proving themselves on a regular basis deserve to at least have their stories seen on a wiki page. I've seen other artist pages on here that haven't released their first project and yet their pages are still up. It's already bad enough these artist don't get enough exposure or credit for their work, but to get rejected because of a technicality. I've researched the information listed on his page and listed links for reference purposes. If the content that I've posted isn't enough, you are more than welcome to google him. I'm sure you'll find more than enough references to keep his page active. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ss2spoon (talk • contribs) 05:46, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

fairness
I suggest that this page is about the truth movement which is precisely a movement contesting the official theory, which by the way has its own page. It is therefore unacceptable that the official theory should be re-stated in the very page that seeks to question its truthfulness. It remains a fact that a large tract of the world population has grave concerns to say the least about the government own conspiracy theory. Facts I am quoting are well documented such as excessive aircraft speed, unexplained total structural collapse of WTC 1 2 and 7, flight deck of flight on Pentagon not having been opened, etc. I am also an architect and form part of the ever-growing number of professionals who view the official theory with increasing suspicion as to its veracity. Alternatively remove the whole section stating the official conspiracy theory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrrev (talk • contribs) 23:22, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

This page should not be protected. There is a great article for this person that has lots of good information about his history and career. --DU2010OR (talk) 03:53, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

- Am I going to get a response from you on creating this page?--DU2010OR (talk) 01:49, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- I wasn't planning on expanding on the advice above, but I'll reiterate. Read WP:BIO and WP:GNG to review notability guidelines, then WP:BLP, WP:RS and WP:V for sourcing requirements. The article I deleted clearly did not meet notability guidelines: to establish notability for any subject, it must be covered by multiple independent reliable sources and must demonstrate more than purely local notability. Doing imaging work for a local radio station isn't sufficient. Acroterion (talk) 02:20, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- There is a lot more then just radio imaging for major market radio stations. Here is a page that someone started that more info has been added to. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Dylan Underwood --DU2010OR (talk) 05:54, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- That's a good place to start: I still don't see a strong claim to meeting Wikipedia notability guidelines, the article is somewhat promotional in nature, and sourcing is weak on independent media. We'll see what other editors think. Acroterion (talk) 12:40, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Deletion - Fairfield-Grace United Methodist Church
Hi. I'd like your guidance on this: - I work for the church, and we hold the copyright to the history and directory. There's no violation here, and the community is better served to get this information out, instead of on an obscure page on the church's site. - The church is remarkable because it's a local landmark, the site of many town events, and has been for 50 years. We're referenced on the town's wiki page.
Look forward to your feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbissell (talk • contribs) 21:43, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
- While you could in principle donate the content, as the copyright/deletion notice discusses, it would be better to write a short encyclopedic account using the church web content as a source. That, however, does nothing to establish the organization's notability: for that you'll need references from third-party publications that make clear the church's notability on more than a local level. See WP:ORG for guidelines. Since the church website is clearly copyrighted, the content can't be hosted on Wikipedia unless clear permission is granted via a change of the copyright terms on the source webpage or by explicit permission via the Wikipedia OTRS system. If the church is on a historical register, that would establish notability for the building. Acroterion (talk) 21:57, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
I too come to you in search of adult guidance. Lookie at the article above. The firm said something stupid on their Twitter account. This is true, but not too important. Now editors who I suspect work for the firm are blanking the account of what happened. If someone would just talk on the talk page, I am sure we could reach a meeting of minds. But my hard-headed nature seems to object to their high-handed method of editing. Tell me what you think. --Paul, in Saudi (talk) 01:19, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
- I see the material as ephemera: remarkably dumb, but not of lasting importance, and more of an employee-management issue than anything else. I'd leave it out of an encyclopedia article unless the statement had the endorsement of the board and top managers, which it apparently didn't. That said, the IP is almost certainly a sockpuppet of the blocked edit-warrior from KA PR, but I don't see this as something worth the fight. Acroterion (talk) 01:25, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Clinovo page
Hello,
It seems you deleted the Clinovo page in June 2011 due to "unambiguous copyright infringement". Is there a way to use the deleted page to start from there to create a new one? And can you point out what the infringement was at that time?
Thank you,

- The version I deleted was a copy of this [4] (which apparently no longer exists), and as such was unusable at the time on Wikipedia as a copyright violation, as user-generated content and as advertising. It was three paragraphs long and wasn't very informative. I suggest that you write a neutrally-worded, factual article based on third-party sources, and that you carefully read WP:COI first, since you have a clear conflict of interest in the subject. You'll need to clearly assert how the company is notable (see WP:CORP) by reference to third-party coverage, and you'll need to strictly avoid marketing-speak and promotion, and to remember that you will not be able to control the content once it's created. You'll also need to change your username to one that reflects you individually, rather than a company (Wikipedia, for complex issues relating to free-content copyright law, can't accept contributions from entities such as the "Clinovo Marketing Team"). While you're not prohibited from editing with a COI, you'll need to be extra-diligent in avoiding promotion. Acroterion (talk) 19:50, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

- You would need to make it non-promotional and you'd need to avoid copying from copyrighted sources, as well as use third-party sources to make the notability of the company clear.

rescue and recovery effort attack after Spt. 11
I did source my information from the socail Journal artical in the paragraph. Do I need to reference it some other way or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ans027 (talk • contribs) 17:18, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry, I missed that. The material is, however, tangential to the main article and rather out-of-place; you might want to consider tightening it so it doesn't place undue weight on that topic. It appears that a class is editing the article, and maybe others - that's a good thing, and we'd like to help you if you need assistance, or need feedback. Acroterion (talk) 17:26, 28 November 2012
Yes, I am apart of that class. I am talking about the effects that were placed on the emergency relief teams. It is for a social disaster class and we all have to use the same page. I dont know where else I can fit in the effects that were cause from the disaster to the police, firmen, etc.
- It's always best to keep in mind the main point of the article, and to add material in proportion to its importance. It appears to me that your part is too detailed, and more of a statement of opinion and sentiment than clear encyclopedic fact. Sometimes when classes edit Wikipedia, they lose sight of the objective, which is to write a good encyclopedia, rather than to add material simply because it was assigned. That leads to bloated, unfocused articles. Is there some other, more directly relevant issue that you believe the article needs to address? Can you pare down your additions? Often, a well-crafted sentence has more impact than a loose paragraph. Acroterion (talk) 17:57, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

I would Like to Know Why this is--James981 (talk) 04:59, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that you're asking about an article on a local Texas politician deleted in 2011?? If that is the case, you might want to look at Wikipedia's guidelines for notability of politicians. In general, one must have held statewide office to be considered a notable politician for Wikipedia purposes, or have been a mayor of a major city. Local party figures and county-level politicians aren't considered notable unless they've gotten a lot of press coverage, usually on a national basis. Joe Arpaio would be an example of such an official, but he's the exception that proves the rule. Additionally, Wikipedia requires that biographies of living persons be appropriately sourced, and while the article had one source, the bulk of the content was unsupported by reliable sourcing. Your consultant might want to review Wikipedia's policies on conflict of interest, as paid writing is very much frowned upon as unlikely to have an appropriately neutral editorial distance from their subjects.

Biscayne again
I grabbed a few images directly from the NPS webpages and placed them in the article. I believe that this is fine so long as the images aren't attributed. I also placed some images in the article from the NPS page that stated the images were for media, website use, meaning PD. The images are just placeholders as you may have some of your own that are better...or be able to find better ones elsewhere like off Flickr. Mike Cline mentioned on my talkpage we are missing a Glacier historical structure article...I'll probably do the stub on that unless you beat me to it since that is an area you're more familiar with. Anyway, getting back to Biscayne, it's looking pretty good...I'll try to expand the ecology section some more soon if you wish.MONGO 17:04, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
- I saw your work; my impression about the images is the same, that credited images should be avoided unless it specifically says "NPS photographer." I don't have much in the way of my own images: we lacked access to a boat and tours weren't running the morning we were there. There was scarcely any horizon out on the bay and the pictures I got were pretty prosaic. I'm going to lay off Biscayne for a few days, maybe do some work on linked articles (I created Cocolobo Cay Club for instance today), and come back to it to in a week or so to reorganize, copyedit, fix and organize references, etc. Anything you have the time to do is welcome.

I would think that they'd find it preferable to explain why they're upset rather than try to talk to the Italian police about an article on the English Wikipedia. We've gone a long way toward resolving what we think their concerns may be, and I've blocked the editor who seems to be adding the problematic content, but it would be much easier for all parties if they'd just explain rather than making new accounts to repeat the "denuciation."

That was not the case for your link, which appears to be intended to drive traffic to the website. Please see WP:ELNO for external link policy, and in particular items 1, 4 and 13.

- FPs must have significant encyclopedic value, must be used in at least one article, must be visually interesting, and must be of a high technical standard. I'm surprised the chromatic aberration wasn't criticized in the FP review on Commons, but it's correctable. CA is usually a purple fringe on the border of dark and light objects, the product of inconsistencies in the way a lens manipulates the light path depending on frequency. Lenses are mostly quite good at this, but a little Photoshop is sometimes necessary - there are filters that are customized to each lens's characteristics that do a good job of correction. I didn't have that when I originally uploaded the image. I'm doing some corrections now and will uploaded the improved version in a while. Acroterion (talk) 02:25, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

- The article I deleted gave no indication of notability. See WP:MUSICIAN for guidelines. Links to user-generated content are not useful for establishing notability - you'll need links to third-party media like newspapers, etc. to establish that critics have taken notice. Since the article has now been deleted five times, and was the subject of a full deletion discussion the first time, any article must bring substantive new sourcing that clearly establishes compliance with inclusion guidelines. I've placed create-protection on the title to prevent further disruption: registered accounts may wish to develop an appropriate article in a userspace sandbox, or editors may wish to try articles for creation.

- And your argument for restoration is to vandalize his talkpage? I don't see that working out very well. Acroterion (talk) 18:32, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
We are having waaay too much with this guy and he is so full of something that he doesn't get it. This edit (and the other part in green) shows he actually believes that User:A Quest For Knowledge is some "operative" for a government agency. What User:A Quest For Knowledge is just damn funny and the guy believes every word of it. Wow, just wow. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:00, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- I've decided to avoid further comment, as I really don't want to goad the guy: I'm sorry he feels that way, but I'm not interested in trying to help him in his personal reality. Acroterion (talk) 19:05, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- I commented after he was blocked (on ANI), he wasn't goaded in any way. I'd keep an eye on the article/talk page, as I have a feeling this guy will pop back up before his 31 hours is up. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:21, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- No, I didn't think he was goaded either, just wanted to keep it that way. If he shows up again, he can be dealt with summarily now. Acroterion (talk) 19:26, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, I figure plenty of eyes will be on that guy in 31 hours. So, I won't have to hop in next time. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:54, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Autopatrolled
Hi Acroterion. I'm just letting you know that I have temporarily removed the autopatrolled flag that you accorded to User:Mishae in January due to issues I found when patrolling new oages and concerns expressed by other editors. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:59, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Personal attacks
I did not make personal attacks. I simply said that I would be angry if my page was taken down. Who wouldn't. I worked really hard on that page. Then I am told that my sources are bad when they are written by the creator of the film himself. After that I am told that the page is a autobiography. Alien Adventures (The s is there) is not a true story. The film may be about me and my friends, but the story is nearly complete fiction. You cannot take down my page for FisherQueens reasons and this is why: www
