Thank you

Thank you for resolving the dispute at Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Ashok_Malik. I am quite an old editor at wiki with more than 1600 edits. I have been involved in various projects. Recently I am having certain troubles. Soham321 who had brought the earlier mentioned dispute, has constantly been stalking my Contributions page. At several discussions at talk pages he has been using bad language against me and alleging me of being biased. In fact sometimes he has accused me of being biased for few pages, for fighting vandalism at which, I have been praised. He constantly keeps visiting my contributions page and keep making disruptive edits at those pages which is troubling me in making edits. Once he was even blocked for such action which involved him reverting my edits. He edits almost all pages I edit where he finds that his political issue is involved which I may not name at present. I am sure he shall be continuing this and would also be reading this present post. Is there any place I can complain this at or prevent him from accessing my page? Any help shall be very helpful. Thank You--Mohit Singh (talk) 21:49, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

There is no way to prevent a user from reading a page, Wikipedia is transparent except in very special circumstances. I do not know enough about India to become a major editor in that region, but I able to assist as needed. If an editor makes unwanted and disruptive talk page comments on YOUR page, it is best to revert the comments and avoid replying at all. Do not feed the fire, essentially. If it becomes a problem RFC/U is an option. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:42, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

RFC/U

So, how to do it? --Niemti (talk) 09:03, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/User_conduct/Guidance and read everything. I do not want to give you a short version because you need to know exactly what it means in full detail. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 12:30, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

RE: A Wikiproject can tag ANY article...

1. The tag was placed by an anonymous IP user, so I do not understand calling this a Wikiproject action.
2. I see a "porn" tag as an unsubstantiated opinion. Anyone with the opinion nude=porn can add this tag to a fine art article, e.g. Michelangelo's David?

FigureArtist (talk) 12:59, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

It would be outside of the scope of the project, I think. Nude photography is the basic underlying element of photographic pornography. While you could argue that David is an erotic sculpture of sorts based on its realism, their is no controversy claiming it to be pornographic. Nude photography DOES carry that association and stigma; why compare to a famous statue serves to detract from the more obvious connection. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 13:04, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

I suppose that, rather than reading only the title and assuming the content, anyone might actually read the article? The title is Nude photography, but the content is fine art (90% of which I contributed), hence the name change request so that my efforts will not have been in vain.FigureArtist (talk) 15:25, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Just because you added to the article doesn't mean you should rename or move the page or remove wikiproject tags. Improvements are fine, but SEX is on there because it covers an aspect of sexuality as a broad medium. PORN is valid because nude photography is often considered pornography and while often lacking explicit nature, is a form that appears as such, internationally. Idols being a popular form which nude photography often is attributed as plain pornography even if clothed, so the definition is broad and the article is not always fair. It'd be easier to have a fine art section, medical section and of course pornography section as these are aspects of nude photography. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 16:10, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

SEPERATE ISSUE BUT ONLY PLACE I CAN POST IT

ANI related I am writing here, to say beyond any words of your "users" that have lied to you and to me about me. I am Giovanni Strassini, I have NEVER-EMPHASIS ADDED, added a thing to your site. your "gnomes" and "sock" chasers, added my name back when all I did was remove it from your site! This is 100% truth, and I have proof through many attempts I did not add anything here. I can speak to anyone of authority to show this neyond even your "users" what I am saying is truth. F.T.C complaints, F.C.C complaints, NC Attorney General complaints and CMPD complaints, started by myself againt the true name identity theft I was victim of, from 2000, until now. user JohnInDC, lies. I have never made an edit to ADD things to your siter, only to remove my name!!! I asked him, bender235, and materialscientist to stop adding my name or even use my name on your site. I removed it and THEY, NOT ME, added it back. I did NOT threaten legal action, I priomised it if they did not stop lying about me and re-adding my name here. That is MY RIGHT, AND PRIVACY LAWS PREVAIL. I can be contacted through this site if given contact info where I can provide it back to you. I have nothing to hide, only your "users" that have lioed do. They showed what others did, and then claimed falsely it was me. Lies and libel. − I make this statement under the penalty of perjury of the United States of America and deem this to be true and correct=Giovanni Strassini − The IP addresses were at least 4 used in this and only one shared PC was used by myself here. This should stand as warning to the over-zealous "users" and abuses they can perpetrate on innocent people such as myself. Allow me to remove my name or do so yourself. Keep honesty at the front, and you will not have problems like this in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.215.131.150 (talk) 19:05, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

I direct you to WP:OTRS. That is the place to bring up most sensitive matters and they will need to verify your identify and understand the background. I'm not even related to this matter, but quite clearly the IP added it here and you claimed it was yours and removed the names here. You inserted false material into Wikipedia and when discovered started threatening legal action. You are now evading your blocks and lying to me, a third party, about this. I'm not a representative of Wikipedia and I am a volunteer who commented on this matter at ANI. That's all. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:26, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm 70.19.122.39. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Horus Heresy (novels) because it did not appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please note also section reasoning for reverting edits of 2013/05/16 in that article's talk page. Thank you. 70.19.122.39 (talk) 14:03, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Foundation Pit by Platonov

Hi friend, I noticed you reverted my edit on Platonov's Foundation Pit in the 'Genre' category back to 'historical fiction'. I do not know whether you have read the novel, but it is in no way a piece of historical fiction, considering Platonov was writing about his own time, not the past. Moreover, Platonov is not a realist writer, as are most writers of historical fiction, but a modernist, even surrealist, writer. Most importantly, Foundation Pit does not meet the criteria detailed on the 'historical fiction' page. Although I believe '(meta)utopianism' to be the best genre for the novel (itself a form of 'meta-parody'), another option could be 'satirical socialist realism'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wearebasiclight (talk • contribs) 21:57, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Ah okay. Thanks for the explanation. I'm restoring it now. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 22:27, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Resort Boin

Just came across this one I think you may have overlooked. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:16, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Huh? Oh. For tagging? I'm still working on other things, I'll go ahead and tag it. It has nice coverage at JA wiki to. Might be easier to improve. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:22, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes just for tagging, I saw reliable sources for it as well and can see improvement potential in it. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:25, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Ah, thanks! I've been trying to compile a list of websites, but the Japanese papers do not keep the content around forever it seems. Archives are going to be necessary for a good amount of things. I was just cleaning up a few other issues. I was thinking that for the small publishers, we should start articles on them and move the questionable ones into them instead of deleting the content, a few not tagged do not seem to warrant the GNG... even in Japan. But it is really difficult to figure out which is which at this early point. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:34, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Do you want to be administrator ChrisGualtieri?

Hi, Chris. I saw that you were blocked on accident and concerned of RfA. Well, I've decided that if you accept, then I'd like to nominate you. You'd be a great admin. Even if it fails the first time, wait 6-15 months and then try again. Thanks. WorldTraveller101^{(Trouble?/My Work)} 02:08, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I would like to. I'm a very policy oriented person and a wikignome of sorts. My focus would be on administrative backlogs like WP:FTCG, merges, undeletions and improving that content with access to Highbeam and Questia as graciously given to me through Ocaasi's work. I would like to be the subject of mentoring and branching out, I do work at WP:DRN and have been a frequent commentator at WP:ANI. I'm a bit of an idealist and a real janitor type; most of my administrative work would be on reviewing undeletion requests and working on improving them a recent example would be Ashen Empires which was just undeleted the other day, but I decided to spare 45 minutes to add and improve content with some sources so it wouldn't be PRODed again. I am in a bit of dispute with Lucia Black; so that may hurt me, but I'm improving as a person and as an editor all the time. I wish to be more like Dennis Brown and MBisanz. I'm not one to block; and I don't intend to ever use that right as an admin despite my work with vandalism patrol. Not sure if that makes me weird, but my ideal functions are housekeeping, peaceful dispute resolution and assisting editors. Even today I started Codex Huamantla and helped an IRC editor get Robert Mustard (martial artist) in line with Wikipedia's policies, only to have the lack of admin rights mess up the move because of the existing redirect. I'll be a boring, but useful admin at least. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:31, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Cool. I'll nominate you tommorow when I'm on my computer, since I'm currently on my iPod. Thanks. WorldTraveller101^{(Trouble?/My Work)} 02:40, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. This all moves so quickly. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:44, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Given Lucia Black's personal crusade; she asserts that I act in bad-faith, call her edits bad-faith and call her a troll; despite it being completely false as seen in this conversation. After addressing the deliberately false information she reinserted and proving beyond any doubt it was false, Lucia tried to brush the matter off as she was right to do so. I simply asked for her to be serious, which she accuses me or her being a NPA and a troll. I countered by simply pointing out the page by listing the policy and that essay; because Lucia doesn't even know the meaning of the word troll and still doesn't understand WP:NPA. Same as she doesn't understand what "in a nutshell", "consensus", and what "notability"(as in WP:N) mean. Just as I had to point out not only her insertion of material was knowingly false, it was disruptive to reinsert and try and justify that indefensible position. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 13:46, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Youve accused me of a troll in the past out of mere opposition. You use NPA when it best suits you, but it doesnt stop you from making erroneous claims such as me not understanding notability, in a nutshell and several other things. Even if you bring up a thousand situations where my judgement was wrong, the one who has done the most disruption is you. An admin wont start an edit war, wont be quick to use NPA, or call an editor a troll. And im ralking about several discussions when you did.Lucia Black (talk) 16:35, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

That is false. You did this to RexxS.[1] Here is one accusing me. [2] You brought it up, you started it. You do not even know what a 'troll' is. Judging your previous confusion over policies and terms like "in a nutshell", its plainly obvious you aren't a troll. We may disagree, but I have never called you a troll. I think action is in order because you are actually spreading false information to attack me. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 16:40, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Brunging up a discussion where you didnt isnt helping your case. MOST of the issues were I the ghost in the shell article. And I know im not the only editor to know how disruptive you can be.Lucia Black (talk) 17:35, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Well, first - since the reputation of the nominator is very important in an RFA, WT101 probably should be waiting at least a couple of years/5,000 edits before suggesting to nominate anyone. Second, Chris, I'd have to say that your posting at ANI probably torpedoed any chance in the next 12 months ... certainly not the tone/style/levelheadedness one would be looking for in an admin candidate (✉→BWilkins←✎) 18:36, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the comment. I do think I need some mentoring and I want to be instructed. I suppose I could alter the tone to improve it, I do see it is a bit rough in places. DRN failed and I was preparing for RFC/U, but it is deeply concerning that Lucia Black is allowed to make blatant personal attacks time and time again after being explicitly warned about it. Given the dozens of instances, and the lengthy failed discussions, I simply do not know what to do with Lucia Black. I've asked numerous times for advice, and have done the best I can to defuse the situation, even begging for cooperation. I don't want the tools for blocking or anything; I just want to handle the administrative backlogs for things like FTCG. I really could use mentoring; because this is the single biggest issue I've ever had on Wikipedia by quite a large margin. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 18:46, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

The closed RFC at WP:VPP does not in any way mean that it overturns any prior consensuses. You still need to form a proper consensus to restore the content which you do not have. The fact that you requested someone formally close it so it has an air of officiality is really telling of your intentions as well.—Ryulong (琉竜) 06:01, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gosei (Japanese diaspora)

It appears that you have copy-pasted a response to this AFD from the other AFDs on articles by the same user under the concern that other pages were suggested to be deleted as they are dictionary definitions. This is not the case for this particular article. I would implore you to properly assess this article instead of just disagreeing because you saw a pattern of edits.—Ryulong (琉竜) 01:17, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

As a courtesy, I have mentioned your name while raising this issue at WP:ANI under the title "AFDs not being properly considered due to assumption of bad faith".—Ryulong (琉竜) 01:44, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Clearly it was an error; the cites I pointed to directly went to "mountain out of a molehill" instead of Gosei. Just like how I proved notability for delegitimization; each AFD post was specific to the article and came with unique sources and comments. Your assumption of bad faith is itself bad faith; I don't see how your accusation even remotely applies to me. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 06:03, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members). So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers: Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available". Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497). Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 14:54, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Nicoleta Luca-Meițoiu

Hello Chris, I understand that you had to delete the above mentioned page due to lack of references. Yesterday I found references of her artistic biography in the following book: Maria Georgeta Popescu - Musicology studies vol IV, Iași, PIM Publishing House, 2009, ISBN 978-973-716-524-4, p. 17 and in Romanian Impact Magazine, Year: 3 - No.7 (30) October 2003, Center Focus Publishing, Niles, Illinois, USA, ISSN 1532-9852, p.5 (both in Romanian). Is it possible to restore the page? I also found on Youtube an excerpt of Mozart's concert No.23 played by her with the Pitesti Philharmonic Orchestra. Other excerpts on her Facebook page. Thank you, RodicaB (talk) 09:24, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

I opted for userify because the page was best suited to be worked on; which would have meant putting it back into the sandbox; but I cannot view either article; if you could provide a scanned copy, perhaps it will meet GNG and the page can be recreated. Both sources would probably have to be 250-500+ words about Luca-Meitoiu. I found a minor source here [3] and one which backs it up as well.[4] I think its very close to GNG, but because of the history, we need more proof of GNG to ensure it remains. Let me know; I cannot dig up too much, but a few good sources or one great source can change everything. Just right now; it doesn't seem to "exist" for AFD, which I disagree with in practice, but its not my decision. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 14:31, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Please see the references from the article in German Wiki and in Romanian Wiki.

I have the printed references (book and magazine) in my hands. What shall I do next? Thanks,RodicaB The page is Nicoleta Luca Meițoiu RodicaB (talk) 15:53, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Do you have a scanner to scan the document so other people can confirm the source? If you do, then I'd probably recreate the page, add all the sources and provide the scan to anyone questioning its existance. You could also go the WP:DRV and ask for it to be undeleted, I'd support that. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 12:11, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
