Requesting adoption

Hello! I was looking for someone with a lot of Wikipedia-related experience to adopt me. I'm fairly competent technically already, so I've been able to figure a lot of the basics out by myself. My primary concern will be of a dispute resolution/disciplinary nature as I originally made a Wikipedia account to try to bring balance to an extremely heated and politicized topic. In the short time I've had an account (about 2 days) my talk page has already started filling up, one of the people in particular is rather notorious on Wikipedia as an admin who abuses his position and edits articles in a biased manner, and who is often (and currently) a named party in ARBCOMs.

I'm not hoping for someone to personally intercede on my behalf in the event this person or any from his 'camp' steps over the line, so please do not mistake this adoption request as admin shopping, but I am anticipating the need for quite a bit of advice in the near future as I'm not the type of person to shy away from conflict when I know people are treating me unfairly - quite the contrary it makes me all the more determined to stick to my guns and dig in even deeper.

The effort and time I've been putting forth to familiarize myself with Wikipedia in order to contribute to this specific set of highly politicized and somewhat hijacked articles, have introduced me to the Wikipedia community which was unknown to me before as a casual user/reader. I do have a hope that I can stick around far into the future and contribute to articles dealing with a wide variety of subjects, especially those articles which are more friendly and less politically heated by nature.

Also, I apologize for having jumped the gun and adding my name to your list of the Adoptees, I misread and thought it was a list of people seeking adoption, I removed my name when I realized my error. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, +-Adam.T.Historian (talk) 01:45, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Adam, I like seeing that you've taken an interest in the wiki, and I would be glad to adopt you. I'll be happy to give you all the advice I can, just let me know. Don't worry, I've added you back to my list, and updated your userbox. Happy editing, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 16:24, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Great! Thanks a lot for your time, patience, and general selflessness in your ongoing pursuit to share knowledge with newer users. +-Adam.T.Historian (talk) 19:17, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Bot task request

As suggested at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Death#Automatically tagging certain categories, please tag the talk page of all existent categories listed at Wikipedia:People by year/Reports/All death categories with {{WikiProject Death}}. --Geniac (talk) 02:52, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Sure thing, I responded back here. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 16:56, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

re Close vs. relist

I relisted, as there was a new concern brought up about whether those new sources introduced were reliable/secondary/independent enough to go towards notability - and I thought it could have been useful to have a bit more input after that comment. However, I have no objection to your close - and I agree with your assessment of the consensus. :) No worries, Cirt (talk) 18:53, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Again, no worries. :P Cirt (talk) 19:06, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for checking in

Thanks, I'm doing pretty well! Not doing much over the winter break, but I'm bound to start up soon. Happy new year to you too! Saebjorn! 19:19, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Glad to here it, and you too! Always feel free to stop by with anything I can help you with, cheers! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 02:37, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Pre-Siberian American Aborigines

Hi, I was quite shocked to see "Pre-Siberian American Aborigines" deleted. I did not see the nomination for deletion and therefore did not have a chance to defend the article. Now that it is gone, I cannot even see whether the claims of the "killers" have any merit or not. All that I can say is: (1) it is by no means original research. Alternative theories of the population of the Americas have been held by reputable scientists and published in scientific publications; and not by me or by any friend of mine. The article was merely reporting on them. (2) The article (presumably) lacked references simply because it (like many good articles in WP) was written before WP had the polilcy and means to include them; and you cannot expect that Wikipedia's 10,000 volunteer editors will rush to provide references to some 2,000,000 articles, just because a handfule of editors decided that they should do so. (3) The claim that there is no Google reference is totally irresponsible. The name of the article was made up so as to reflect the collection of various theories, but of course each theory was published under its own name, or no name at all. (4) The article has survived several years of scrutiny by readers, many of whom presumably knew something about the subject. That should say something about its seriousness.
It is scary to seee that perfectly good articles are being quickly and permanetly deleted after such a careless review by irresponsible editors who apparently do not know the subject and do not care to do their homework. How do you think that an editor feels when he has to go through this? Every such mistake does more damage to Wikipedia than 1000 silly articles would.
Please restore the article and let responsible editors take care of it. Thank you. All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 16:26, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jorge Stolfi! Don't worry, the deletion was by no means permanent. My job was only to determine consensus on the deletion discussion, which I found to be delete because of original research concerns. Based on the comments at the discussion, most (including myself) would prefer to see the article rewritten than stay as a redlink. Would you be willing to start a new article? I'd be happy to help you! Let me know, cheers! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 18:41, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the reply. At least please restore the article to my user space so that I can see what is wrong with it.
By the way, the article was nominated on the AfD on December 27 2009, then deleted on January 2, 2010. It so happens that *did* work on wikipedia during those days (terminal wikipediaholism); but I have over a thousand articles in my watchlist, and I cannot check every change in every article every day. I didn't even get a warning in my talk page.
The deletion histeria that has taken over Wikipedia is insane. The AfD process never was a "consensus" in any reasonable sense of the work]d. It was designed by deletionists and is inherently biased in their favor; the majority of the editors who are likely to vote in it are those who keep the AfD page on their watchlist — which obviously are mostly deletionists. Indeed, the last few years the AfD seems to have become a playground for editors who take pleasure in deleting other people's hard work. Extrapolating from my sample, I would guess that tens of thousands of perfectly good articles have been deleted after irresponsible reviews, like those of that article. Sigh. All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 04:16, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi again, the article has been restored to User:Jorge Stolfi/Pre-Siberian American Aborigines so that you can make the appropriate fixes (would you mind letting me know before you decide to move it back?). As for your concerns with the AfD process, unfortunately there's not much I can do about it. I do my best to determine a consensus on arguments that are based on policy, but I'm not perfect, and either is the process itself. You have valid concerns, and you might consider bringing them up more publicly. Best regards, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 22:09, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much! All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 22:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

PS. Er, could you please restore the talk page too? The tags claim that the issues are discussed there... Thanks, and all the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 22:27, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

 Done - yes in fact there is some discussion there. :) Cheers, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 22:37, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Vanessa George

Hi Arbitrarily0

I saw you deleted the Vanessa George page. I'd very much like to speak to you about this. I'm the crime reporter for the Plymouth Herald where the incident took place and covered the case quite extensively. Please contact me on ceve@theplymouthherald.co.uk. Many thanks

Carl Eve —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.109.254.19 (talk) 17:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Carl, you can use Special:EmailUser/Arbitrarily0 to contact me via email (although you might need to create an account for this). Would you mind doing that? Otherwise I'd be happy to discuss non-private matters here. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 23:16, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Adoption

Hello, would you please adopt me?. I already added myself to the list. I like to fight vandalism on wikipedia. Thanks!--GeneralCheese 01:18, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, will do :) Please let me know where you'd like to start, or if there's anything I can help you with. I'm always glad to help, happy editing! Cheers, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 01:25, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Oahspe page: Thank You

I want to thank you for your work , in particular concerning the Oahspe page.Vanais (talk) 11:48, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Your welcome, and thank you for stopping by! Take care, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 22:16, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Fabrik

would it be appropriate to delete the Fabrik redirect? If so, how would I go about doing that? I don't see the need to keep the redirect for a minor plugin that can only be used with the main application. 16x9 (talk) 02:04, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi 16x9! In my opinion, deletion of this redirect should probably be avoided. For one, it is holding the history of the content that was merged and so should be preserved. Secondly, it allows there to be links to the software itself, rather than just Joomla#Fabrik. Does this make sense? Cheers, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 02:27, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

That helps a little. The first part helps more as there is a record of the merge that is visible...though it seems a lot of WP:UNDUE is offered to this one plugin/addon. I doubt anyone would seriously need to search for fabrik alone when it cannot be used without joomla as it is a plugin. Thanks for the advice. 16x9 (talk) 05:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

True, but even if the Fabrik information in the Joomla article was eventually condensed or removed, it's still important to retain the history. Your welcome, and thanks for bringing this up. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 14:14, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you...

Inre this diff and the barnstar, thank you. It may not be the next few hours, but I will incorporate the sources into the artcle. By the by... do you know any Spanish-reading Wikipedians? I found what I believe may be decent sources [1] for a Spanish Animated film [2]. I'll fight through with google translate or babblefish if I must. Warm regards, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:25, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't know of any Spanish-reading Wikipedians off hand. I looked around for some last night, and will gladly contact one as long as you haven't tried to 'fight with google translate' yet. Let me know, cheers! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 14:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

And in appreciation...

Well... this is what remained at the close of the AFD... and THIS is now. We both know that if it had been left the way it was, it would have been tossed back to AFD within weeks... with cries of WP:NOEFFORT. So... all it did take was a little real effort to turn a sow's ear Stub into a silk purse Start or maybe even B Class. Oh, it'll never be GA or FA... but I think it will survive. Thank you for the encouragement and moral support. They mean a lot. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 07:37, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh no problem, if the encyclopedia could talk it would thank you too :) The work you do here is great, keep it up! I'm sure this article (which looks great now, by the way) is just one of many that has greatly benifited from your time. Thank you! Happy editing, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 14:04, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Keyontyli Goffney Deletion

I would like to suggest that you restore the entry on Keyontyli Goffney. The discussion was by no means unambiguous in its result. I think that we are dealing with a borderline case here: to be sure, the subject's main notability (in mainstream culture, one could say) resides in his arrest. However, he was well-known in the American gay subculture well before that, as attested by his appearances in numerous magazines, both pornographic and non-pornographic. To me, as an editor who is attempting to create a record of American gay culture, it is very frustrating to see my carefully documented work deleted (not for the first time) by editors who do not appear to be familiar with gay life. I would go so far as to say that there is a certain bias against gay articles, which are subject to much closer scrutiny than other contributions. I could point to dozens of entries that I came across just in the past week that are stubs, badly written, without proper documentation, etc. etc. and which nonetheless no one appears to be eager to delete. If you restore the article and someone else nominates it for deletion after a while, perhaps we can involve more people in the discussion. Thanks. GBataille (talk) 10:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi GBataille, sorry for the delayed response. In my opinion, considering the weaker arguments in favor of keeping, deletion was the best closure option. Therefore, I can't agree to restore the article. As DGG said in the discussion, there is "no sourced indication that [his] career itself is notable." In other words, reliable, third party sources on his career are lacking. I hope this helps, cheers! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 23:24, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

please restore New Industrial Revolution

Greetings, I noticed that you deleted a page that I created, New Industrial Revolution. I have already restored this page, therefore by wiki standards does it not receive some reprieve from arbitrary deletions? Please let me a message on my talk page. I have enlisted the help of other administrators and editors to bring this page up to snuff for wikipedia standards.

Thank you, 137.229.230.227 (talk) 22:15, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Greetings! Please let me assure you that the article wasn't necessarily arbitrarily deleted; please see discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New Industrial Revolution. I hope this has helped clear things up. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 02:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Jeylina ever

I've created a new article on Jeylina Ever from Wikipedia.fr and her personal website. Best regards Marieange22 (talk) 17:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Greetings, thanks for letting me know, I've responded here. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 22:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Maybe are you transphobic?Rmarchet (talk) 17:32, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Rmarchet, let me assure you that no such bias exists. I deleted the article strictly as of consensus here. Regards, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 00:20, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Ned Kelly

I am trying to do a protected edit and wiki tells me to put my request on the 'talk' page but i cannot find any reference to 'talk' except "my talk" i assume this is not correct Can you help please below is a copy of my request [the page to be edited is Ned Kelly} — Preceding unsigned comment added by RachelandBronwen (talk • contribs) signed by Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 00:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

"Edit Request" {{editsemiprotected}} please replace last line of Capture Trial and Execution by the following quotation from the Argus Newspaper of the day =The Petition to Save Ned= [as reported in The Argus newspaper 9/11/1880] “[William] Gaunson [solicitor and politician, and member, Reprieve Committee] and the Kelly sisters were admitted to a retiring room, and the former handed Captain Le Patourel [secretary to the governor] the petitions he had been getting signed for presentation to the Governor, stating that they contained 32,434 signatures.” “An examination of the petitions showed that they were signed principally in pencil, and by illiterate people, whilst whole pages were evidently written by one person. “The Executive of course determined to adhere to their decision—that the convict shall be executed on Thursday morning. This having been communicated to the prisoner's relatives they left, and returned to the Robert Burns Hotel. They were accompanied, as before, by a crowd and during the whole afternoon and evening the hotel was rushed. Immediately after their return James Kelly addressed the crowd, from the door, and told them that " it was not all over yet"—a remark that was loudly cheered.”

I've taken the liberty of moving this request over to Talk:Ned Kelly#The Petition to Save Ned Josh Parris 05:44, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Concerning adoptees

Some of my adoptees edited for a while, but then just stopped...From your experience, do they come back? Some examples for me are user:Newchess, user:RosieClarke, and user:Shadowed Soul. Should I just drop them? The Arbiter^★_★^★ 23:34, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, not RosieClarke. I just talked to her via email… The Arbiter^★_★^★ 23:38, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I've experienced this same problem too. You could just remove them from the list on your userpage, but I wouldn't necessarily "drop them" (in case they come back). This will give you an excuse to seek out more! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 00:11, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Closing AFDs

Please remember, when closing AFDs, such as Cyber-Ark, to remove the AFD notice from the top of the article. Stifle (talk) 10:27, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Stifle. Normally this script takes care of it, but because the AfD notice was added twice (first time), the banner wasn't removed automatically, and I forgot to check. Small matter, but thanks for taking care of it. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 14:06, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Yama (Hinduism)

Hi, I have had problems inserting reference 1 for Yama (Hinduism). The reference does not show up as a footnote and I get an weird message once the page is displayed. Can you help? Thanks,Raj2004 (talk) 15:51, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Fixed :) One of the reference tags was missing a '>', that's all. Happy to help, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 20:36, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again. I wrote a long article on Karma in Hinduism. Some theistic traditions of Hinduism believe that God has appointed administrators such as Shani to reward and punish during one's life; this is one explanation in their view for the ups and downs in life!!! Yama on the other hand, deals with unfinished business; he deals with you after you have departed!!

God bless you. Raj2004 (talk) 21:39, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

No problem, do take care. Regards, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 22:23, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Apollon (GUI)‎‎

Can restore it to my user space? I'd like to merge it to giFT. There are sources for that as I indicated in the AfD, and Joe Chill agreed. Only the supporters of old WP:NSOFT voted delete there. Pcap ping 22:12, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Sure, sure, sure. I've restored it to User:Pohta ce-am pohtit/Apollon (GUI). Thanks for doing this, cheers! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 22:22, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Relisting AfD's

You relisted an AfD for WP:Articles for deletion/Young Hot Rod (2nd nomination). It had already been relisted once. This article was previously deleted. I nominated it, one editor has !voted delete. Nobody has even mentioned keeping it. I thought that the practice was going to be that unopposed AfD's were going to be treated similar to PROD's in that if it is unopposed after 7 days, it would be considered a delete. Did I misunderstand that? Niteshift36 (talk) 23:34, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Hm, you may have some misunderstanding. The official relist policy can be found here, but for the most part, only third-time relists are to be avoided. In the case of WP:Articles for deletion/Young Hot Rod (2nd nomination), I relisted only because no discussion occurred since User:Tim Song relisted, and I trust his judgment. Unlike PROD, nominations without comment are closed as 'no consensus'. Worse case scenario, a second relist will only generate more discussion, no worries. Take care, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 02:51, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Just so you don't think I'm crazy, the discussion of that proposal is here. [3]. I didn't follow it through. I thought it had been implemented because I've seen admins closing AFD's stating that without opposition, it was being treated as uncontested, similar to a PROD. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

XD - well I'm glad I could help, take care! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 17:12, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Curious about your rollback requirements

I notice you are one of the admins willing to grant rollback rights. Are there any general requirements necessary to be granted rollback? I looked at the rollback page and didn't see anything. I'm curious if there are any standards at all, even unwritten ones. Auntie E. (talk) 01:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Well there aren't any specific requirements, just that the editor is familiar with reverting and dealing with vandalism. Other than that it's at the administrator's jurisdiction. You, for example, seem to be an editor of whom I'd be willing to grant rollback rights, if you'd like them. Just let me know, or if you have any other questions. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 02:27, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Autoreviewer

I am not sure I agree with giving autoreviewer rights to Nkf31. This ed. has a COI with World Scientific, a relatively minor publisher, and has been adding multiple articles on their journals which I and Crusio and Abductive are busy removing--not just a few, but most of them. I'm known for being particularly tolerant in this area, but journals which are established for only a year or two and are in no major index are extremely unlikely to be notable. I & others have told him this, but he continues to add the articles. In a sense it does not matter, for the several concerned eds will surely check every article he enters, but autoreviewer is at least an apparent open invitation to spam. DGG ( talk ) 04:30, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I agree - my mistake, I completely forgot to investigate this, so thanks for letting me know. Take care, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 16:56, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

How about this, Raj. Try to make all of the changes above yourself first, then I'll go back and fix any mistakes. Does that sound okay to you? That way you'll start to learn how citations work. Let me know, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 17:08, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colombian voice actor

I am requesting that you re-open this for it to gain more consensus otherwise I'm going to DRV.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:39, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ryulong! I'm not going to stop you from taking it to deletion review, but my suggestion would be to renominate each article individually. This will, not only as you suggested, help gain more consensus, but it will also gain a consensus that is specific to each individual. Happy editing my friend, take care. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 02:26, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm just going to prod tag each one, as that is a hell of a lot easier than opening up 30 separate AFD discussions that all say the same thing.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 09:13, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Jason Upton

Hey man...I noticed that the Jason Upton Article was marked as AfD then deleted. I would like to work on a new page since the old did have a bunch of problems and a total lack of references. I probably wont be starting that project until next month, but wanted your opinion on how to make that article better or if you just believe it doesn't belong at all.Travisharger 16:32, 21 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Travisharger (talk • contribs)

Hi Travis! Unfortunately, consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason Upton was three to one in favor of deletion. If you think that there are references that didn't surface during the deletion discussion you might consider seeing deletion review. Are there any references you can show me as an example?

Why was this page deleted?

"Satellite Image Comparison" ‎

This page has been targeted multiple times for deletion. It is a supporting page for the Water vapor article, and notes this in the page and in its page discussion. Additionally, the page also scientifically supports arguments in the discussion of Talk:Water vapor. It also, requests that people don't randomly slap tags for deletion in the page discussion as it is part of a larger project that is under large scrutiny and under constant update, including the page itself.

All of this is noted in the page discussion, and is apparent that the discussion page has been repeatedly ignored. Could you please reinstate this page and its discussion.

Also perusing the list of "desenters", at least one has been identified as a "sock puppet" by Wikipedia. —Will research for food (talk) 15:59, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Greetings friend! Unfortunately, there was clear consensus to delete the article (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Satellite Image Comparison) - is there something I can clear up for you? I'd be happy to! Regards, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 04:21, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Water vapor is heavily sock-puppet/ip attacked. This page in question is a supporting page for Water Vapor, and was targeted for deletion 1 week after I stopped editing on all of wikipedia. If you feel you can't then don't, but could you move it over to my user space so I may work on it as it supports a larger group effort:

The problem Will, is that the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Satellite Image Comparison resulted in a unanimous consensus to delete, because the subject is 'non-encyclopedic'. Do you dispute this consensus? Do you think that this consensus was wrongly founded? Let me know, and regards! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 02:16, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Copy of deleted article?

Hey Arbitrarily. Would you provide me a copy of List of longest-lasting empires, which was just deleted? Swarm^Talk 11:19, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Swarm! May I first ask what you would like a copy for? Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 03:02, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Right, I should have included that in my original post, sorry. I actually just got a copy from another admin, so don't worry about the request, but I'll still explain myself: The deletion discussion seemed a little...odd to me. In my opinion there wasn't a strong enough argument or consensus for delete, and I was considering requesting a deletion review, but I would rather review the article's content a little before I decided on that. The strongest delete argument was basically that since it was a list of empires, and there is no clear definition of what an "empire" is, the article was inherently original research and such an article could never be maintained. Anyway, I'm going to review it's content and think about it some more. Thanks. Swarm^Talk 03:05, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good to me! Take care friend! Best regards, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 04:09, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Why you deleted brainsurge episodes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Momos555 (talk • contribs) 20:28, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Momos! List of BrainSurge episodes was deleted because of consensus to do so at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of BrainSurge episodes. Let me know if you have any questions about this, cheers! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 04:13, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
