MIT license

You state that the MIT license is not compatible with the GFDL or cc-by-sa licenses that Wikipedia uses, yet you give no proof of this at all. How is a permissive licence not compatible? Dlpkbr (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:58, 2 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks for your time and effort

Hi Thryduulf. I appreciate for completing the survey two weeks ago. I would like to return your favor with a reward of an online gift card with no condition. Please leave your email address in the final version of survey of my project. In addition, you can get chance to win $50 worth of gift card. It takes only 10 minutes to complete the final version because it contains only 35 questions. If you have Wikipedia friends, please introduce this survey to them. Thank you so much. cooldenny (talk) 13:58, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re [1]: where did you get the gauge from? It should be included in the article if there's a RS. — Tivedshambo (t/c) 20:29, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Meetup in Holborn

There was no text on the page you linked me to, for some reason. Also, alas, I'm quite short of cash at the moment and conserving the money on my Oyster card for getting to the work I'm starting next week, so it probably wouldn't be the best idea. Maybe next time.

Connections

Thanks for your comment. When I read your comment at the discussion thread, I thought you knew someone there. Sorry about that. Personally, for some things I try to contact individual editors. It doesn't always work though; I've been looking for a free picture of hamedori for the point of view pornography, but nobody I've contacted has one or can make one.

Request for diffs

As it may be easy to miss and I consider a timely response important: see [2]. Hans Adler 17:50, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I am still not happy with your response. [3] You have made a serious accusation. I have no problem with it provided it is true. Given that in this very case the same accusation has been made without any justification, and that I have found no evidence that the accusation is true, I am suspicious. I am not going to let this go before someone has provided evidence for your accusation or it has been retracted. The relevant policy is WP:NPA. Hans Adler 19:57, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of railway stations

Hi,
I've made a belated response to your proposal here. Do you still think a list-of-lists is worth trying? bobrayner (talk) 13:59, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Libyan civil war redirect

I just wanted to apologize for the confusion on that conversation, when I saw the page Lother had made I assumed he had created a disambiguation page and not merely converted the redirect into one. So I put in a request for delete not realizing that the redirect was still there. I changed the request to better clarify the situation. 174.114.87.236 (talk) 17:30, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mathis Brothers

Are you seriously taking the claims of the person hired by the company to write an article??? CTJF83 09:29, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any plausible claim to importance or significance, no matter who makes it or whether it can be verified or not, means that an article is not subject to speedy deletion. "Importance" and "significance" are explicitly lower standards than notability. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7. A declined speedy deletion does not prevent a prod or AfD nomination if you think it doesn't meet the required standards for a Wikipedia article. Thryduulf (talk) 09:33, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Meh, it was already A7'd once. CTJF83 09:35, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The version that was A7ed didn't assert any importance or significance, the version I declined did. Thryduulf (talk) 09:38, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thryduulf, you removed the speedy tag at this article, which is nice, but you left it completely unreferenced. Please, note, it is a WP:BLP. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 09:59, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What makes this person notable? The Mark of the Beast (talk) 03:19, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if they are notable or not. However the article makes claims to importance (as I specifically said in the edit summary,"Appearing in notable shows is an assertion of importance") and thus it is not eligible for speedy deletion. Importance is explicitly a lower standard than notability, and just requires a credible assertion. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7. Thryduulf (talk) 03:35, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of reliable sources as to their notability, lack to any claims of notability other than claims of extremely minor roles. Did you even read this autobiography? Body double and unnamed extra are not claims of notability. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 04:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A7 does not require a claim of notability, just importance or significance - explicitly lower standards than notability. Equally it it does not require the claims to be verified, nor any others sources. All that it requires is that the claims are credible. Please reread the criteria.

Is this mentorship?

I don't get it - at Sarah's ANI you wanted to topic-ban her from Wales (et al), and asked at one point for another admin to sanction me - essentially for standing very strongly against you repeatedly pushing for unworkable sanctions against her, and (perhaps uncourteously) asking you to please step back. Now you are still on her talk page - quoting Aneurin Bevan, and saying how truth is subjective. Your agument (with the link) is surely just validating her beliefs re Wikipedia. I think things need to settle down don't they? You have given a lot of advice to her since the ANI, none of which has had the effect that was no-doubt intended imo. The whole ANI experience (for us all) needs to be moved on from now I feel.

I'm not going to personally get involved on Sarah's talk page again unless I have a really-good topic-related reason, but I am currently keeping an eye on it - as Sarah's frame of mind after by the end of the ANI was not great. I just don't want the time I spent wasted. Sarah has always been sceptical of admin, and it's a lot to ask of her to respect advice from someone who was so punitive at the ANI. At best it is obviously patronising (I don't think she's quite as young as you've surmised btw), and at worst it could be considered provocative (ie why this change of tack?), or simply ill-advised (did you notice that after your advice on reporting 'provocation' she did just that over a time-served editor who was ultimately rectifying mistakes?)

The admin job really should be just a mop and a bucket imo, and Sarah actually has the mentor role in John. One of the reasons I changed my mind about mentorship being of some value for Sarah was so an admin that she respected (or respected enough I should say) actually held the 'job in hand', so to speak. Given your earlier stance, I can't see any other reason for your continued advice other than to share the role - but I don't think it works like that.

Just my two cents. These are areas I edit in, and plan to work in - I just want things to settle down. Matt Lewis (talk) 20:30, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, thanks Matt. But I have no issue with Thryduulf philosophising on my page! It's such a big improvement from him wanting to burn me at the stake:) You will have noticed that I have a "Zero Tolerance" for commentators I find obnoxious - but Thrydu is OK. Sarah777 (talk) 02:09, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping you were not watchlisting this! Of course you don't mind. No one will thank you if the shit hits the fan again and you've been eating them for breakfast though - so keep being Super-Nice Sarah I would suggest. I think I've done all I can for you now anyway - you've got your second chance (which for the moment has turned out better than you could have possibly imagined), and you are entirely in charge of it. It really is all up to you.

Can you self-revert that Snap edit btw - it's basically incorrect, and it's bothering me a little that the turn seems to be mine. It is a child's game after all. Matt Lewis (talk) 10:17, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks good job. Too quick for me. Dloh cierekim 14:48, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and the same kudos to you for not blindly speedy deleting a page. Thryduulf (talk) 14:51, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Child pornography

Hi, could you please remove this part of the sentence in the article Child pornography?: "; as such, child pornography is a record of child sexual abuse."

It's an obvious lie, see Talk:Child_pornography#Pornography_.3D_abuse.3F.3F I can't do it because I don't have an account. --90.177.208.162 (talk) 04:49, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
