AWB

Hi, I usurped from Shriram to Muon. I was granted permission to use AWB. Now I can't login with my new name. Shall I place a new request or is that just a bug and can you correct it? Here is the link that usurpedMuon 10:14, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

5pm

Hey!

I've deleted this article because it was made by a promotional account that was linked to promotional and paid editing. The sockpuppet investigation started on the 26th of October and the article was created on the 3rd of October - but given the numerous issues and source of the article, I thought it was the best judgement call.

Seeing as you restored it earlier, I thought I'd let you know. If you think I made the wrong decision, please let me know and we can talk. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 12:28, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated it for deletion. I wanted an independent person to review it, rather than me just doing it. So thanks, you have done that. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:18, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination of Paraptosis

Template:Did you know nominations/Florence v. Shurtleff

Graeme, I just reverted your edit to this DYK nomination template.

First, because the template had been closed. As it says at the top, "Please do not modify this page."

Second, because you added new text below the bottom of the template. This means that your comment just shows up, ghost-like, on the T:TDYK page, though the template itself no longer appears because it is still closed.

Finally, there are clearly still issues in the reference listings, including 8, 9, 14, and 15, and they have not been addressed by the nominator/creator despite time having been given. I'm sure Muboshgu noted this fact when he reviewed the nomination over three weeks after Bundaberger's most recent edits.

You're certainly welcome to discuss this on the template talk page, article talk page, or WT:DYK, if you wish. However, the nomination template should remain closed unless a consensus emerges to reopen it. I would want Bundaberger to make a case for reopening, given the lack of response so far to the talk-page requests for action. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:08, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BL Prrod

Don't forget: we can't undelete BLP Prod's at WP:REFUND :-) the panda ₯’ 11:01, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was not a BLP prod that I restored, and we can undelete if the requestor suggests they can reference it. That's why its a prod. But for a real BLP prod I would reset the timer to delete in a week if no improvement. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:21, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I spent a lot of time on these pages! I can nominate them for deletion once I'm done saving them. Thanks --RachelRice (talk, contribs) 11:38, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have requested this to the administrator who deleted the page, with no luck – he told me to ask somebody else. --RachelRice (talk, contribs) 11:38, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Graeme,

how are you? I am having a difficult time trying to figure out the copyright for the image i have uploaded. I have created my own but used tips from a scientific article. Also, when i try to tag the copyright, how do i do this? Mishasubz (talk) 02:18, 25 April 2014 (UTC) thanks Misha[reply]

Hi, Mishasubz. It's nice to include links when asking for help like this. I was able to find your file, it is File:Process_of_preparing_amino_allyl-labelled_cDNA.jpg. The source you got it from his here. It's a little bit close to the original, but I think it's different enough not to worry too much. You are right that you should tag it with a license. I see that you tried to do that, and put {{CC-BY-MS-3.0}} on the page. I'm not sure where you got that from, but you can see that it is red -- which means it's a broken link. There's a list at Wikipedia:File_copyright_tags/Free_licenses#Creative_Commons. I took the liberty of changing it to {{cc-by-3.0}}. If that's not the license you want, make sure you change it to something that doesn't show up as a red link. Klortho (talk) 01:26, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,Klortho, thank you so much for your input and help, greatly appreciated!Mishasubz (talk) 05:13, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding AWB

Hello Graeme, I saw you active at AWB so coming to you directly. Actually I want to use WP:AWB but I cannot access it, since my name is not added here. It's given that any sysop can add a user to that list. So, I thought if you can add my name. Thank you for your help. Jim Carter ^(talk) 03:59, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Did you know nominations/Chihiro number

See WP:ANI - the sources used to establish the name Chihiro numbers don't exist, this was an elaborate hoax certainly by an experienced editor. A quick search for " Mueller, Joseph (2001). "Implications of the Chihiro Numbers on Computational Timespeed". New York Journal of Mathematics 7: 278–289." and/or "Ghentsky, Christian (2003). "Comparative Growth Rates of Chihiro Numbers and Derived Sequences". Journal of Integer Sequences 6 (3): 53–59." would have established these were fake references.

La Patilla logo

Since you were the only to comment on my call for assistance, I was wondering if you could explain more about adding the rest of the logo. If possible, could you possibly do the changes yourself? I really want to do it myself so I could learn but I don't want to screw up the entire logo.

Here is the link to the logo on Wikipedia:

Halite

You might want to comment at Talk:Halite where there is a proposal to merge halide and NaCl. Well intentioned but naive, in my view. --Smokefoot (talk) 16:06, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Luckily not halide with NaCl which would have been even worse! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:54, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Acetic acid

I reverted the edit from Plasmic physics.--Smokefoot (talk) 12:18, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good, it looked dubious. But I also find that the references there do not support the statement either way, they support the dehydration products fact. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:50, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User: 121.219.230.54

Hello Graeme, Thank you for your temporary block on the above unregistered IP user. Frankly, I find that the edits are so offensive - a longer block might have been more appropriate? Kind regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 17:29, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My block reflects my guess as the time scale of the damage from this IP. I don't know how long the vandal will have this IP. However if they come back then a longer block is warranted. I won't protest anyone else extending the block anyway. Perhaps you want a revision deletion? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:48, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Geodynamics of Mars

How much of the article do you think is copyvio? If a lot, some sort of tag should be placed on it. RockMagnetist (talk) 22:54, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your protection of Sid Dinsdale

Hey there! I've increased your protection on this article to full, rather than template. This matches what you said you'd applied at WP:RFPP, I'm assuming this was a misclick. Hope that's OK with you! Ged UK 12:33, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I should have used the correct notice at WP:RFPP. I don't know if template editors will do this sort of work to update pages on request though. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:36, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear editors User:Ged UK and User:Graeme Bartlett - you (understandably) put a lock on the Sid Dinsdale page. However, I believe the lock should have been placed on the version prior to the changes made by anonymous user with IP address "68.13.65.33" as they included the assertion that "To date, Sid and Dawn Dinsdale have contributed over 93% of their federal political contributions to Republicans," without providing a source to that claim. I would request that this line be deleted during the lock on this page.

Please note that I did request a valid source for this claim in my original revisions of it:

03:11, 6 May 2014‎ SunlightWriter (talk | contribs)‎ . . (8,548 bytes) (-115)‎ . . (Undid revision 607265738 by 67.3.210.45 (talk)This assertion requires a source to be included. The general landing page for "Open Secrets" does not support this claim.)

DYK for DNA base flipping

Request page protection for Neymar

Hey Graeme. The Neymar article has high traffic and is frequently vandalised by ip users, and it's only going to get even more so with the World Cup coming up. Requesting page protection (possibly long term protection) as there won't be any let up. Thanks,Carlos Rojas77 (talk) 12:22, 14 May 2014 (UTC
