You're right. What fooled me was the term they use for the catalog: ":Classic catalog". I will fix it--the whole article needs a good deal of expansion in any case and I intend to do it. 'DGG (at NYPL) (talk) 20:00, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

AfcBox proposal

Dear DGG (NYPL):

Several editors expressed similar concerns about my proposal at User:Anne Delong/AfcBox that editors who weren't experienced at finding sources might not be able to contribute. I added a new choice to my proposal for the person to ask for help and be given a choice of three places to ask. Please look and see if this addresses your concerns.

"Major Redesign in 2013" on NYPL

DGG (NYPL), the way you've edited the "controversies" bit about NYPL's website and online catalog makes it sound like the "major redesign" in 2013 was related to the catalog interface. In fact, it was just a home page redesign and intentionally avoided any changes to the catalog interaction (see http://www.nypl.org/blog/2013/05/09/our-new-home-page-search-dominance-and-nypls-goals for more info). I'm not aware of any major redesigns in 2013 that bear upon the online catalog. Could you either strike that change, reword it, or if you disagree with me add a citation? Thanks.

Nallatech

Is this really David Goodman? Surprised at you nominating an article for deletion without checking google books, it easily meet GNG. Scottish Equity Partners too has 1500 hits in books/magazines.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:47, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

I accept that Nallatech is widely enough used, and I'm withdrawing. I saw refs for SEP, and they seem mostly mere notices. My attitude towards articles on organizations is changing to a very high degree of skepticism. Possibly too far--I need to think about it. 'DGG (at NYPL) (talk) 21:27, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Neighborcity article

User DGG (NYPL), I have a good rating on the real etate information website and app, Neighborcity, so I'm not inclined to edit the article because of my potential tie to the entity. NeighborCity is also in a landmark antitrust lawsuit with the National Association of Realtors and the Multiple Listing Service that realtors post real estate ads to. This subject deserves coverage when people search for the NeighborCity lawsuit because it impacts the one and a half million real estate agents, brokers and commercial agents of which I am one, and then the millions of homebuyers each year who are likely to be impacted if the association ends up with evaluations and ratings of all of its member-brokers and agents.

If there is a problem with the litigation section, or other sections of this page, then why not fix it? If a salaried marketing assistant or intern at the company or a hired person wrote the article in the first place, write over their work like the last 12 months of editors have. I saw the link User Rybec posted, and it doesn't look like the page creator was actually blocked until months after the article was created. I'd like to see increased interest in the Neighborcity lawsuit, not less.64.182.119.244 (talk) 18:08, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

4Culture perspective

Hi DGG, I'm hoping to discuss your recent proposal to delete my entry for 4Culture, I realize that you are a much more dedicated wikipedian than I am so I hope you will help me through this process. I think that it is particularly important that we discuss this here on your New York Public Library of the Performing Arts page as this is an important cultural discussion and it strikes at the roots of perspective and the arts.

Your first argument for deletion was " relatively minor branch of a county government", since 4Culture is the LARGEST FUNDER individual artists in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States I would argue that it is in fact a major cultural factor in the region. I realize that we are small potatoes compared to the funding organizations in NY, but I hardly think that makes one of our organizations 'minor'. Since 4Culture is also not a branch of County Government I also felt this was not a valid argument.

Your second argument was "no third party sources, and none would be expected except routine notices." I also disagree with this statement because at least one of my sources was third party. The Seattle Times article demonstrated the tax structure (and struggles) that 4Culture has had as it has grown. I felt it was important to include the state resources (which I assume you would consider 2nd Party sources?) because I felt that those were the most reliable sources for information for budgeting and legal structure.

I clearly do not start many articles in Wikipedia, but I greatly admire what it does for our culture and I only push for a handful of articles which I truly feel are lacking. I started the 4Culture article because I was seeing it repeatedly referenced in Wikipedia (and in popular culture) without any simple explanation of what it was or what it does. It has helped launch the careers with early funding for many artists from Sherman Alexie to Lynn Shelton, it has also been key in developing one of the first percent for public arts programs in the county and is one of only a handful of funding options available for heritage programs.

I hear what you are saying about finding more well rounded sources for this article. I had literally 100's to choose from and picked a few that I felt gave a broad take on the organization. I will list some more if you think my selections are too narrow but please do not delete this article based on it being 'minor', that would be an insult not only to myself but to anyone that enjoys a broad range of arts in our region. I will also post this on the 4Culture discussion page, maybe it would be best to continue this discussion there? thanks! Lumpytrout (talk) 13:05, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

certainly I would much rather see the article improved than deleted.all means improve the article rather than delete it. What it now needs most , I suggest, is reducingthe amount of conventional jargon in section 3. That's what tends to give a promotioanl impression, which may be undeserved. It would also help to reducethe number of uses of the full name of the group. 'DGG (at NYPL)' (talk) 18:34, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Deletion review?

Hi, I'm thinking Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phil Robertson ''GQ'' interview controversy should be overturned to no consensus but would like your opinion and possible support, if you agree. The content was generally washed away from Phil Robertson's BLP, and now an effort to trim it down as much as possible is taking place at Duck Dynasty, the article from where it was spun out. The admin has been unresponsive after initial dismissal of concerns. I think a stand alone article is appropriate and would allow the other articles to address Undue concerns by having just a summary. I'm concerned we are white-washing the notable impact of the events, and i think a stand alone would help address that. Sportfan5000 (talk) 19:03, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
