Welcome to Wikipedia from Marcus Qwertyus

Hi, Codehydro. I welcome you to Wikipedia! Thank you for all of your edits. I hope you like editing here and being part of Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); when you save the page, this will turn into your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or put {{helpme}} (and what you need help with) on your talk page and someone will show up very soon to answer your questions. Again, welcome! Marcus Qwertyus 20:09, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the welcome, though as you probably saw, I have been consistently making edits for almost a year now :) I definitely do enjoy it, though often lacking the time to do so.Codehydro (talk) 20:26, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fairfield University Barnstar

Thanks for the Barnstar Codehydro! I've enjoyed creating the Fairfield University articles and hope you can help out writing about our alma mater. And perhaps you can help me figure out the image copyrights as I am growing weary of the constant deletions of my images by various Wikipedians despite my obtaining permissions. Looks forward to reading your contributions! Stagophile (talk) 00:20, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on List of minor Avatar: The Last Airbender characters requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Timneu22 · talk 17:25, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yay, saved the page from deletion :) -- CodeHydro 20:08, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Myong Cha Son Haiku Award has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable award.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 15:37, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps instead of deleting, there should be merged with the main article for the Iris N Spencer awards? Though relatively minor compared the Donald Justice Prize, they are worth noting and the money they reward is not trivial. Less hurry to delete, especially when merging is probably the better solution ;) ---CodeHydro 15:49, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think that would be a sensible solution, yes. If a specific award does not meet our notability guidelines, then it can't have its own article. -- Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 15:53, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on List of minor Avatar: The Last Airbender characters, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — Parent5446 (msg email) 16:25, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As reviewing administrator, I didn't delete it because we interpret the G4 criterion pretty literally,, but I am pretty certain on the basis of recent experience that it will be deleted when taken to AfD, as it surely will. The only real hope is if you can find third party references of some sort discussing some of the material. As you are the principal author, you can either request userifying as explained above, or withdraw the article by placing a {{db-author}} tag on it. DGG ( talk ) 01:45, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the tip and for giving the article a chance, twice. I discovered an excellent resource for third-party sources are episode reviews by third parties and have managed to reference a fair amount of it that way. So perhaps this article may have a real chance now :) Actually, I haven't seen much of Avatar myself, but I saw somebody else put a lot of work into compiling the list, but hasty deleters didn't really give it a chance to be edited. Though most of it was infringement, I just felt compelled to save it and fortunately I did find that a significant fraction of it was actually more or less original writing.---CodeHydro 02:28, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated List of minor Avatar: The Last Airbender characters, 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/List of minor Avatar: The Last Airbender characters. 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.

cases of humans with permanent insomnia who haven't slept in decades

This is a question I have actually had for some time, can you point me to case studies?--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 07:58, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is the Vietmanese case Thai Ngoc and the American Al Herpin. I believe there is also a Chinese case, but I forget the name. There are also cases of permanent Fatal familial insomnia, but they don't live very long after they stop sleeping. By the way, I just created a new article on Sleep state misperception. Hope this helps :) —CodeHydro 14:08, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re:List of minor Avatar: The Last Airbender characters

OK sure thing. And also may I suggest checking the Avatar Wikia if you want know more information about the characters. And may I suggest http://www.digavatar.com/ for watching the show if you ever want to. Jhenderson777 (talk) 22:51, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since you seem to be a member of the Article Rescue Squadron. I'd like to introduce you this user Dream Focus if you haven't heard of him already. He's one of those that takes saving articles really seriously. Jhenderson777 (talk) 18:50, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, though I would not contact him unless he showed interest in the article already. As you probably already know, according to Wikipedia:Canvassing, contacting editors for the sake of voting is considered disruptive. Anyhow, I've changed my vote for the article we've been working on, so now there is consensus for merging. At least it seems our work won't go to complete waste. —CodeHydro 00:43, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I know about WP:Canvassing. I wasn't really introducing him for that particular article. Because I figured you try to help to save other articles too. I figure it's just good to share some similarities and know a few of your squadron members who work together on the same thing. Jhenderson777 (talk) 00:54, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the suggestion; actually, I saw and worked with him just now as we rescued the article The Silver Ship and the Sea :) —CodeHydro 16:07, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Qaumi

Nice work on the article. With some more content, you can go for DYK. --Ragib (talk) 00:40, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I hadn't thought about doing that, though I may have to wait a little while on it as I am working on several other articles at the same time. Maybe I'll spam the DYK with 4 of my articles at the same time :) —CodeHydro 03:44, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded the article slightly, though mostly on the notes side. It seems that sources from just 5 years ago are showing signs of being outdated since the arrival of the Qawmi Education Board at that time greatly changed things around. Would you take a look at the notes I made on the Qawmi article? I'd like to know what you think. By the way, I just finished major expansion on sleep state misperception to get it promoted to DYK ;) (also, I am not putting the talkback template on your talk because you seem to be watching my talk already after reading the section below) —CodeHydro 04:27, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added the number of Madrasahs at different levels under the board. But there seems to be a misprint in the newspaper (ref: dstar1), since it mentions sanaria ammah level twice - once as higher secondary(?) and again as secondary. Can you please check the numbers from the newspaper and other sources? 4 million is a huge number of students for any education system, but it makes sense, since the poorest of the poor who can't afford to send their children to regular schools, usually send them to these local religious schools. --Ragib (talk) 05:24, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, great idea! I didn't really understand what those numbers meant when I first read it until I saw your list. I reorganized it into a table and found a better source. I think the University of Oxford is much more reliable than dstar :) And I would have never guessed that "Befaqul Mudarressin" is the same as "Wafaq ul Madaris"... I thought they were two separate things at first, but noticed surprising similarities in the numbers of schools at each level and then slowly tried to pronounce them with my American tongue. Anyhow, now that I know this alternate name, it increases my options for research. *sigh* Why do I make things harder on myself by writing about subjects for which I speak not the language? :P —CodeHydro 13:58, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The more I look at it, the more I think the "Network of Schools" section in Al-Jamiatul Ahlia Darul Ulum Moinul Islam is the Qawmi ed board and that the six-levels described in the Boro Madrasah article are the same six levels described in the Qawmi table. If that's the case, then the "beyond post graduate level" may actually not be a doctoral level but is rather the Tahfeezul Quran level. What do you think? —CodeHydro 15:09, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Bengali alphabet does not have any character for the Arabic character "wao", which sounds somewhere between "Wa" and "Va". So, in Bengali people use either ওয়া (Wa) or বা (Ba or Be) to transliterate this arabic sound. This explains why you've seen both "Wafaq ul" and "Befaqul" there. --Ragib (talk) 21:42, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]


The article is actually in quite good shape. Perhaps you can take it to DYK now ... since it's well-referenced and somewhat detailed. --Ragib (talk) 21:42, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Would you do the honors of nominating it? (May help to be endorsed by another?) I think a good hook is
... that the term "'''[[Qawmi]]'''" emerged from the word "qom" (meaning "the public")—stemming from the fact that Qawmi [[madrasah]]s reject state funding and instead rely on [[Charitable organization|donations from the public]]?
and a good alt could be:
... that '''[[Qawmi]]''' [[primary education]] lasts six years, though it does not differentiate students by progressive [[Educational stage|grade levels]]?
CodeHydro 22:29, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, I'll nominate it. Thanks for the encoragement though —CodeHydro 19:23, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on getting it DYK'd. The article is in great shape ... --Ragib (talk) 19:42, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :) It wouldn't have been created were it not for the seed of information you provided at the Boro Madrasah talk page. The first bit of information pointed me towards the first scholarly sources, which in turn provided bits that pointed to more sources, and so on. —CodeHydro 19:49, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Al-Jamiatul Ahlia Darul Ulum Moinul Islam

Hi Codehydro! Any idea what's behind the IP editor (119... and 202...) who keeps on introducing the same unsourced "history" essay? The material that's being introduced could make good copy with a bit of editing, but the IP editor seems to be unwilling or unable to cite any sources. Since the history of the madrassah spans over 100 years he/she must surely be using some reference material. I'd like to assume good faith but the editors determination not to enter into discussion has left me baffled. -- Timberframe (talk) 17:52, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • The IP is most likely associated with User talk:Bakrbinaziz whose account had been blocked for his stubborn editing. He seems to support the school as a former/current student if not work for the school, but that's my guess. I don't think the guy is necessarily bad, though apparently unable to understand Wikipedia policies. Moreover, I suspect his background and formal training seems to be faith-based (i.e. from single-source material like the Qu'ran or the school's homepage) rather than independent research based, thus he may lack the academic background for questioning primary sources and may lack the skill to look for information from outside sources. If my guess is correct, that could explain why he doesn't produce sources: he may simply not know how to search for them effectively. I could be wrong, but I am sympathetic with him despite my misgivings for his methods. Fortunately, he does seem to be using the article's talk page. I've learned not really to bother posting on his user talk, because he hardly looks at it (plus his IP may change before he ever sees the you have new messages note). Anyhow, I agree that there could be a lot of good information from the history he posted, though it needs to be reworked from a NPoV and properly sourced. I plan to look at the copy he posted on the article talk to see if I can mine anything out of it in a few days. —CodeHydro 00:57, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The IPs are from Grameenphone's wireless Internet, which Bakr uses. That's why his IP changes a lot from time to time. I have pending-changed the article to guard against such ip edits. But as CodeHydro says above, Bakr has started to use the article talk page (at least after being reverted several times). --Ragib (talk) 01:14, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That makes a lot of sense. If s/he's simply copying some english publicity blurb, but doesn't actually have much grasp of the language, that may explain why s/he is reluctant to respond or discuss; could be that what discussion has taken place is through a translator. And indeed it may be that s/he simply doesn't understand the principles in operation here. I've only come into this as a pending changes reviewer; at first I thought we were dealing with vandalism but the persistance suggested otherwise and you've confirmed my impression. I'll step back and leave you to do what you can with the content. I wonder if there's any mileage in recruiting another editor from, say the recent contibutors to the Bengal or Bangladesh portal, to try to mediate with our IP friend in a mutually intelligible language. -- Timberframe (talk) 08:49, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're right in that it isn't the "ribfest" itself that travels (they're all similar but not run by the same organization), but the ribbers. –xenotalk 14:37, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your vote of confidence. Yeah, I usually avoid making unsourced statements, but now and then you run into details which perhaps are just so obvious that no sources bother to ever explain it. —CodeHydro 14:46, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Read the policy page... What you're doing is unacceptable, and a failure to understand that is not going to let you get away with it.

  • Sorry, I admit it was poorly thought out. I simply intended to point out that "decide by centralized discussion" could be an option, but was sloppy in implementing it. It's a new idea, so give me a break. —CodeHydro 14:36, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What does "merge as per centralised discussion" even mean? People can already propose a merge (or just go ahead and do it) without the need for a "centralised discussion". In any case, merging only makes any sense when there is a target, which you haven't actually proposed... J Milburn (talk) 14:34, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Because there are just so many articles, the complexity may make it unrealistic for the destination to be decided before the first AfD. —CodeHydro 14:36, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • They don't all have to be merged to the same place... Again, it makes little sense to look at these together. The discussions are working fine independently. One of the strengths of AfD is that it has some closure- stuff actually gets dealt with. Your ideas concerning these nominations seem to be to leave them for even longer before anything actually happens. J Milburn (talk) 15:53, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Transformers

From what I can see. Those voters love picking on those Transformers related articles. I would love to help but there seems to be a work together cliche of delete, delete, delete. I did mention I'd rather them be merged instead of deleted but you know... Jhenderson 777 17:35, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My main point of contention is that it's all happening too fast. DGG suggested that somebody could ask for a close of non-consensus for all the articles with a promise to renominate simply because it's unfair to attack them all at the same time... I would suggest that myself but I can't make that promise as I will be unavailable to do so... nonetheless, the transformers fiasco has inspired a new policy proposal idea at the village pump: WP:AFDPP. What do you think? —CodeHydro 18:51, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good. I hope it works. I am not the one who is always against AFD's. But I think I am getting tired of hearing that's not perfectly sourced or it doesn't have sources to prove that it's notable so it must not be. It makes Wikipedia feel less like an encyclopedia of freedom. I think it's better to have a chance to expand Wikipedia then to keep AFDing every article that's not perfect for Wikipedia guidelines. It's just beginning articles. Tag it as Start Class or tag to improve the article or something. I wish somebody was good at finding sources in here because I most certainly am not. That is always the most hardest thing in Wikipedia. That's why Wikia is better in fictional information. They don't force things on you. You have your own freedom as long as it's constructive to it's topic. Jhenderson 777 19:20, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rescue request

Thank you for pointing out the deletion discussion. But I have a problem. The page on the "Eiffel Tower in popular culture" has been nominated for AfD (again). Because the page was kept after a discussion in 2007, that discussion is now closed. There is a rescue tag, but discussion is not possible. I have put my remarks on the discussion page.

Is this usual? --JHvW (talk) 23:49, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion is possible, but you have to click the link in the deletion tag that says "Please share your thoughts on the matter at this article's entry on the...". Click on the link in the quest I just made. The rescue tag only links to the first discussion as it's not designed for multiple deletions. —CodeHydro 23:56, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again. Sometimes I have difficulty understanding these discussions and the proper way to go about them. The discussion on this subject was closed so quickly I had only just realised that discussion was possible (I believe the whole disussion was over in a week). It also seems that this article comes up for deletion regularly. It is not linked to the main article it is a part of. Is linking and rewriting a way to prevent this cycle of deletion requests? The fact that there are two tags on the top of the page may suggest that somebody is using some sort of search tool to look for these tags and nominate that article for deletion. --JHvW (talk) 08:07, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
