IP editors at AFD

Hello. Just a note to point out that unregistered editors are welcome to comment at AFDs (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to discuss an AfD). It's only really RFA and suchlike where registration is required. CIreland (talk) 06:20, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. I would have thought it prudent to disallow this due to potential sock puppetry, shrug. Martintg (talk) 06:25, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FILMS Questionnaire

As a member of WikiProject Films, you are invited to take part in the project's first questionnaire. It is intended to gauge your participation and views on the project. At the conclusion of the questionnaire, the project's coordinators will use the gathered feedback to find new ways to improve the project and reach out to potential members. The results of the questionnaire will be published in next month's newsletter. If you know of any editors who have edited film articles in the past, please invite them to take part in the questionnaire. Please stop by and take a few minutes to answer the questions so that we can continue to improve our project. Happy editing!

re estonia

Unfortunately the page does not fall under G10: its subject as defined by its title is this pejorative term, and hence its content cannot be "disparaging their subject". Please keep in mind that there are plenty of articles in wikipedia about pejoratives. But I agree that the article must be nominated for deletion, since it appears (google) a nonnotable occasional protologism. - 7-bubёn >t 01:31, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Putinland

I have nominated Putinland, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Putinland. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

You have reverted sourced information from the List of most common surnames information which is sourced to RIA Novosti. Apart from the fact that your stalking of my edits is really starting to piss me off, your total lack of good faith with my edits here on WP is also starting to do the same. RIA Novosti more than fulfills the requirements for a reliable source, it is widely quoted and it has a reputation of fact checking. The article in question does not state a matter of opinion, such as PersonA is a nutcase, but it is stating a statistic. If you believe that RIA Novosti is not a reliable source, then instead of removing sourced information from an article on the premise you don't think it is reliable, which is quite tendentious in nature one must admit, then take it to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, and ask the question there. We as editors are not reliable sources, and what you or I think on a subject means absolutely nothing. And if you even bothered to read the article, one will clearly see that it quotes Eesti Ekspress, which is of course an Estonian source. I have the Estonian source right here in front of me, and it is confirmed. For example, Kisseljov is the 287th most popular surnamed with 440 people; Semenov is 17th with 1,909; Kuznetsov is 11th with 2,339, etc. It lists 500 names. Will you now admit that not only have you stalked my edits and you are not assuming good faith with my edits?

"Ethnic Russians account for about 30% of Estonia's 1.34 million population. Many have "non-citizen" status, which denies them a national passport and other rights, and prevents them from voting." is an erroneous and POV paragraph in the RIAN article and therefore the original Estonian source is better. BTW I was stalking Martintg. With best wishes. Oth (talk) 13:03, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
