Welcome to my talk page. If you've come to complain, whine, moan, question my judgment, my intelligence, my sanity, or tell me off in any way, that's fine. I'm a big girl who can take it. If you've come to chat, compliment me, have a laugh, or discuss articles that's even better.

Template error

I noticed you added a {{uw-ublock}} template to a user page with a rude username, but the template should be preceded with subst in the form of {{subst:uw-ublock}} as it will make the username visible. It also helps to prevent significant template vandalism by keeping the categories separate from the message itself. mechamind90 01:47, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, it was an oversight on my part. Theresa Knott | Hasten to trek 04:51, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

British Museum

I'm not here to complain, whine, moan; question your judgement, intelligence, or sanity; nor to tell you off.

Instead, I am here to beg, plead, wheedle; compliment your fine judgement, excellent intelligence, and lasting sanity; and to encourage your continuing in that vein ...

... at the British Museum on Friday. All you need to do is confirm that you're coming. Easy! :-) Here's the link to help you, in case you'd forgotten: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Backstage_Pass#Sign_Up

My Unblocking

"LordofGifts do not deliberately insert bias into our articles ever again. It's stupid and will lead to another block very quickly."

No problem, babe - after all, there are many more amusing online time-wasters than this...;o). Just don't pretend that that you or the articles I corrected are the slightest bit less biased than I am: what we have here is simply a question of who has control of the censorship axe.

Nice Judge Judy-ish tone, BTW. Strongly redolent of riding crops & cigars.

I tossed up a response to your decline on WP:AIV today that you might want to take another look at. As far as I can tell this user IS continuing to edit war, under WP:3RR's definition of exceeding 3RR as definitionally being that. It's no big deal, I'm not trying to be dramatic, I'm just suggesting perhaps you might want to take another look and see if you want to let your decision stand as-is or not. - Vianello (Talk) 20:34, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Translation

I'm not sure I followed your action and edit summary here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=392872179&oldid=392871901 Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:13, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Laughs! I probably could have given a better summary. I removed the IP from the list because it was a shared address and the vandalism had stopped several hours earlier so no blocking was needed. The Grrr! was a note of frustration because you hadn't bother to actually revert the vandal that you had reported. When dealing with vandals, undoing the vandalism is always the most important step, way more so than reporting the IP to the admins. I should have actually told you this last night; I was tired and in a funny mood so I didn't bother. Theresa Knott | Hasten to trek 09:19, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ahah. Tx. You are absolutely correct ... I should have reverted them. Was tired as well I imagine; usually do. As to the block, I actually think it would have been appropriate -- a few hours is not a long time IMHO, even with a shared IP. and the vandal edits emanating from that IP are sufficient to be troubling. But I imagine reasonable people can differ.--Epeefleche (talk) 12:03, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And the IP returns today, with some inappropriate synth/OR editing. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Norv_Turner&diff=prev&oldid=392985641 Its quite a long list of warnings that the IP has.--Epeefleche (talk) 19:50, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Shared IP, almost certainly not the same person. Theresa Knott | Hasten to trek 20:16, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. But don't we routinely block shared IPs where the vandalism level is this high, and such a high percentage of their edits? Ignoring those vandal edits for which it did not receive a warning, this shared IP has a fairly impressive history of disrupting the project.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm reluctant to block shred IP's when there are good faith edits. Even the one that you told me about today isn't really vandalism. it's not appropriate editing but reverting deals with that. Yes we block shared IPs that have too many vandalism edits but only as a last resort. I don't personally think it's needed yet for this IP but another admin may have different views. Theresa Knott | Hasten to trek 20:54, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. Agree that today's edit was not really vandalism. Never said it was -- it was simply an inappropriate synth/OR edit. Appreciate your comment that another admin may have a different view. Would you suggest that there may be a way to explore that? I think that the fact that my notice to the noticeboard was 10 hours after the vandal edit yesterday was a reasonable amount of time. Perhaps there is another admin whose opinion you trust who you would invite to consider if a block would be appropriate?--Epeefleche (talk) 22:47, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I clicked on it - and found what I expected... Some years ago, a close friend needed a subject for a test presentation when getting a trainer certification. I suggested 'tits'. She thought about it, and did it. We are both bird watchers, after all... I used it myself on a leadership course later. I confess that I do remember hearing a (possibly apocryphal) story that in the early days of radio, a set was switched on as a demo for some bigwigs, and when it had warmed up it announced "great tits like coconuts". Blue tits, of course, like milk bottles... (And time flies like an arrow.) (I clicked on your page because I didn't recognise the name. I know most of the regular names who delete (or not) the stuff I pile up in CSD. (I think I overloaded it yesterday...) I nearly became a teacher, but realised in time that while I can teach many things off the cuff (or with five minutes notice), I can't prepare a three month schedule of what is going to be taught. Nice to see a sense of humour. One or two (maybe three, even) Wikipedians don't seem to appreciate a lighter touch. One doesn't expect it from the desperate socks in AfD... Peridon (talk) 10:36, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've been here years but have been away for several months so that is probably why you do not recognise my name. I find most people here do appreciate humour but yet there are a few who think that being serious about Wikipedia (I am) means that you can never be silly. It doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks though, I simply cannot be grave, it's not in my nature. It's strange that not being able to plan a long term scheme of work put you off teaching because you don't really need to do that. It's largely done for you. The UK national curriculum, the syllabus for an examination subject, they layout of the text books etc, have already done most of the long term planning.

Astrid Research deletion

Astrid Research Inc. and its products GenoMiner and GenoViewer are notable in a rapidly growing community of next generation sequencing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_sequencing) research throughout the world. The company has a similar size and same offerings than other bioinformatics companies listed in Wikipedia (i.e Biomatters, CLC Bio). "A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. " The following secondary sources can be found regarding the organization:

Hello Theresa - Can you please explain how the intelli-Diet page content and tone differs in content and tone from 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OmniFocus' and the many other iOS software that is on Wikipedia? Why is the intelli-Diet page listed as an add/promotion material while the other http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:IPhone_OS_software are not flagged? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.228.226.40 (talk) 16:31, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, because I cannot and will not check every single page in the Wiki. If you think any of those pages fail to establish notability please do feel free to propose deletion. Theresa Knott | Hasten to trek 17:26, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - I propose that they all be deleted, as they serve the same informative purpose of the intelli-Diet page. I would propose that intelli-Diet be undeleted or that you just delete everything in the IPhone_OS_software category. Thank you.

98.228.226.40 (talk) 19:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC) In that case you need to go and put a proposed delete note on them. Theresa Knott | Hasten to trek 19:47, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's what I do not understand about your deletion criterion. Why do the 100+ pages offering the same descriptive content exist that passed through review filters? However, this one goes not pass through your deletion criterion? 98.228.226.40 (talk) 20:40, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker)If you do not understand Wikipedia's deletion criteria (which Theresa knott is simply following), then perhaps that may be why you think the iPhone pages warrant deletion (even though they do not). You may wish to start at Wikipedia: The Five Pillars and work your way forward to gain a better understanding. Also, it may be relevant for you to check out WP:COI.

ARV

With respect to your comment at ARV, it depends. In this instance, the WP:SPA is repeatedly removing referenced content and has ignored the usual escalating warnings. Only at this late state has the editor begun to discuss his/her concerns, presumably to avoid being blocked. -- Scjessey (talk) 15:28, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at his edit and saw an explanation in the edit summary, if the edits are being explained then it's not vandalism. I'm not saying that blocking is out of the question but that ANI is not the forum. It's too fast moving with too many straight up vandals to deal with. Any time that a discussion is likely to be needed then the matter should be p[osted at one of the numerous other admin boards. Theresa Knott | Hasten to trek 15:37, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well the edit summaries are actually misleading, but since the individual is now discussing things I suppose a block isn't necessary at this time. -- Scjessey (talk) 15:47, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sfan00 IMG and over-hasty deletions

Another one. I'm getting very concerned about this editor's excessive haste to delete on the shakiest of grounds (look at the talk archives, Commons too). I'd take it to RFC/U, but just don't have the time at present. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:21, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Losing rollback is a good thing. It reduces the quality of your bulk-anti-vandal edit summaries a bit, but you can still shift the stuff effectively enough. Mostly though it's one less thing for petty admins to threaten you with. The last thing anyone needs is one of those "Grovel peasant, and beg for your rights to be restored" arguments with another wikiteenager. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I kinda agree. Certainly rolling beck mindless tagging mindlessly is er mindless? If you know what I mean. Do be aware that tagging is not deletion and that an admin needs to make a judgement call. Of course Admins deleting without considering is mindless too. The best thing to do of course is add a FUR. This is what Sfan00 IMG should be doing too.

I understand, your wikipedia deleted page is on the first page of Google results for your name, which no one would want. What I have found out so far is that we have a "noindex" tag on our deleted articles. This is an instruction telling Google not to list the page in their search results. Unfortunately we have to wait until Google next crawls Wikipedia for them to pick up on the tag. We obviously have no control over this but I believe that it is fairly frequently. Hopefully it should be gone in a couple of weeks. Theresa Knott | Sort that Knee! 16:41, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

wsRadio was tagged as not being notable. However it appears in another article Internet talk radio under Notable Internet talk radio sites with an Alexa rank of 85,524. It was also linked to other wikipedia artcles under What links here Special:WhatLinksHere/WsRadio. It included notable talk shows with 2 different The Washington Times journalists, stamp talk show by the American Philatelic Society, plus others which were not added yet. The article does need more development. Please restore it or submit it to AfD. thanks Petersam (talk) 00:37, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know I just undid your recent revision to ANI since you removed a section without explanation, probably as the result of an edit conflict.

Speedy deletion though there were significant media links.

With regard to - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Circle_of_Seven_Productions&action=edit&redlink=1 perhaps I'm just unclear as to what constitutes "significant"? The article stated that the company is the original creators of book trailers with linked proof to significant media such as The NY Times, Wall St. Journal, etc. You can easily Google "Book Trailers" and see that it is a significant media for the publishing industry. I wrote the wiki because so a number of media and organizations write about book trailers but don't know its origin or that the term is trademarked. The company is contacted by schools from all over the world asking about book trailers and I thought this would be helpful for them as well. I just want to be certain that it was deleted because I needed a more clearly stated significance and not because "book trailers" was unknown to the person who deleted it. If I can find that out, perhaps I can re-write it in a way that will not get it deleted since it was a lot of work to create it in the first place? Thank you.

SheilaEnglish (talk) 05:31, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Sheila English[reply]

I rechecked the article in the Wall street Journal and it is largely about the phenomenon not the company. In order to have an article the company itself would need to have significant media coverage. Theresa Knott | Sort that Knee! 12:05, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, but there were 3 articles listed, all of which point to the fact that the company started the phenomenon being discussed. I only listed those 3 but I do have one more NY Times article and one more WSJ and several others. There are one or two that perhaps would show more relevance directly to the company and I'll look those up and include them. I also included links from the US Trademark office to show proof of trademark. It appears that I need to flesh out more media and tie in the direct relevance between the new media, its affect on the industry and the company, which obviously I did a poor job of doing originally. I'll put more thought behind it and give it another try. Thank you for your time and insight.

UK Community Notice - IRC meeting

Dear Wikipedian,


This is the first of what will hopefully be a regular notice to help bring together the UK community so that you can be involved in some amazing things. To kick things off, there will be a UK community IRC meeting at 1800 UTC, December 7, 2010 to discuss the future growth and developement of Wikimedia UK. Without huge community support and involvement, the chapter cannot be successful and to get the most out of it, get involved.

For information on the community IRC meeting please go here


More to come about:

  • Wikipedia 10th Anniversary Events
  • 1st Annual UK Wiki-conference
  • Trustee interest meeting - an event for those community members with even just a fleeting interest in becoming trustees of Wikimedia UK.


Many Thanks

London Wikimedia Fundraiser

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 00:05, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
