Re: WikiProject Israel Museum, Jerusalem![]() You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. AWB citation removalI'm not really sure why you removed the web citation with this edit? – Elisson • T • C • 09:20, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
MispelingsI have in the past done a bunch of AWB edits, only to discover later that I had some kind of screwy edit summary. So you may not be aware that some of yours misspell "description" and "Persondata". Now, I realize that this may be an intentional display of individualization and quirkiness, in which case please follow the advice of Miss Emily Litella.

Peggy NashHi Bgwhite, If Peggy Nash gets elected as the NDP's leader, which means she then becomes the Leader of her Queen's Loyal Opposition, does she then rate a "mid"-level importance rating? I ask, because I think this might actually be a gray area, because unless she served for a while, I would not rate her that high. Compared with the importance level of Robert Stanfield, who was leader of the opposition for approximately nine-years, I think she likely should remain at the low importance level until either a major issue of the magnitude of the 1970 War Measures Act comes along and grips the nation, or she has served for over a year at least. What do you think (about this hypothetical question since she has not won that title yet, and may not)?--Abebenjoe (talk) 03:30, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

"Western name order"You just changed Western to Eastern here. Zsuzsi is here given name. Bináris (talk) 06:18, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
Zsuzsa=Susan, Zsuzsi=Susie. Mary is not a Hungarian name. :-) Bináris (talk) 09:46, 30 December 2011 (UTC) Improper reverting of a disambiguationYou have reverted the following hatnote in the page Daniel Lazard: Your summary for that edit was: Remove hatnote. Goes against MOS guidlines in this case. Which MOS guideline is against this hatnote? WP:HN does not mention such a case, where a people is ambiguously cited in an article title. In any case, such a disambiguation is strongly needed to avoid that a user who want to know more about the introducer of Lazard rings to read the wrong page. This confusion between the two mathematician called Lazard is very frequent. I have even encounter it several times by former students on one of them. What else do you propose for this disambiguation? D.Lazard (talk) 12:45, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
A one year old Archdeacon!At my age (51) the policeman really do start to look younger, but I'm afraid my error with Malcolm Leslie Lesiter was just incompetence. Looking at the date I could plead over indulgence the night before; but as usual Dad's Taxi was open for business http://www.halfmoonbay.co.uk/assets/product/340/340/1/MGTA2.jpg and I never had a drop!
All the best for 2012- here's to error free editing
Bashereyre (talk) 22:52, 2 January 2012 (UTC) Irum-upnen-byungsaIt seems iffy to me too. It would of been better if there was a better source to find more about that person. A real name would make it easier to find. Jae ₩on (Deposit) 15:16, 5 January 2012 (UTC) ZDoggMDHi, you removed several references in the "History" section, leaving a note that the article did not mention what was written, however this is not true. The History section comes entirely from the online interview at TechCrunch, as was referenced. Please can you restore them. Also you messed up some of the ref tags in the intro paragraph.Richard ruffian (talk) 03:40, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
(TechCruch interview is "Electronic media") - WP:Sources says nothing about not using interviews.
Greg KatsThanks for your comments. I have removed the contents of the usepage and I will work on adding citations in the work section. I believe that the congressional testimony is notable as it relates directly to controversial political issues including the Solyndra loan controversy and an ongoing, high level US Federal investigation that has become an issue for candidates in the 2012 United States Presidental Election. I look forward to working with you to improve this article Aseal (talk) 12:44, 9 January 2012 (UTC) → Your neutral point of view comments are welcome.

Henderson's template.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 06:39, 12 January 2012 (UTC) Great find!That is really useful. I immediately looked for DRC, and then Sudan, and did not find either. But no problem. Kenya gives Bantu and Nilotic rules and Algeria gives Arabic rules. So this is a breakthrough. Too bad it is not in more accessible format, but still, it is way better than nothing. It should be referenced in the WP guideline on name sequence. I can see no reason why WP would adopt any other standard. Maybe WP could give a simplified version for each language group... Aymatth2 (talk) 14:50, 12 January 2012 (UTC) I would say the subject deserves a WP:something guideline page of its own, and am sure you would get no objections from anyone and a lot of support if you just went ahead and created one. Maybe sort of announce your intention on Wikipedia talk:Categorization of people. My guess is that a) the rules are mostly language-specific, not country-specific, and b) there is a relatively small number of rule sets, with a given rule set applying to several languages. No need to repeat it for each language or country, but maybe a cross-reference would be useful. For example, for Bantu-group languages (many languages, several countries), the general rule is something like:
It would take a fair amount of work to spell out all the rules, but would be extremely useful. I don't know what the protocols are for this sort of thing, an admin should advise, but wonder if it would be worth approaching IFLA and asking them whether they would waive copyright? Aymatth2 (talk) 20:48, 12 January 2012 (UTC) The Page G.K. Sanghar has been re-edited substantially following your Advice to Prevent DeletionHi Bgwhite, Firstly, thank you for your considerate feedback. Yes, there was quite a bit to work on and I have made the changes and there are a couple of things I need to clarify too. After reading your comments and going through the article, I realized how commercial and biased the article had seemed. As a result, I have tried remove whatever advertising or promotional language use. Secondly, thanks for the re-direct for the matter of the fact that she is at times referred to as GK or Gurpreet Kaur, which make up the initials G.K. Having regarded that, the article on the India Se website cites her name as Gurpreet Sanghar. Please do bear in mind that her articles are featured in publications that are not showcased online as per normal unlike the scanned versions found on fan websites, which are totally inappropriate. Given how exclusive India Se is, readers have to subscribe to the magazine in order to read the full story. That is why, you can only see the the few paragraphs of the story on the website. Most of the time books and films are easily attributed as compared to articles. However, I do have her original articles in pdf. format for verification but I suppose I cannot upload them? Also all of her TV shows are accredited and credible, including 'Pure Allure' and can be found on her website directly under the heading 'Media Gallery.' But how do I reference the individual TV show clips online for verification? Next, for the music album, 'Illamai Jolly Jolly', I have added more information about the production and the cause of the album, which is essential. This time, I have referenced that bit with the same article once removed as it is now very relevant to the production of the album. GK had hosted the press launch too, which is available on her website, so these are verified pieces of work. However, her shows are only shown on television or cable, and are not available online, except for the 'My First Million' trailer, which is accessible online. Zee TV and MediaCorp are reputable channels and their works are bound to exclusivity and copyright. You will realize this when you Google up Singaporean TV personalities online and their shows are hard to find online....in Singapore, please bear that we only have one media broadcast centre, MediaCorp unlike other countries which have several stations, hence the limited viewing. I have removed the IWG Fashion Calendar that GK was a part of as there are no pictures available online, except for a fan-created facebook page. The reason being that the calender is currently being sold for 2012. Please do regard that the calendar was launched by India Se's editor and GK was featured in magazine that she wrote for. Then again, I excluded that portion as it may lead to partiality when that it not the case. India Se is proud NRI magazine that caters to reporting on the significant issues concerning South Asian Diasporas around the world and GK was essentially featured. As far as the 'Living Persons' portion is concerned, how do I authenticate her existence when all credible information is on her website. Her website is not simply a resume portfolio but contains her repertoire of work so far and helps maintain a connection with her fans. Please do not delete G.K. Sanghar's page as it bears a lot of relevance. GK Sanghar is only one of the few Punjabi TV personalities in Singapore, to have excelled in the media industry and serves as an inspiration to the youth. Just because her work is solely up on her website does not mean that her work is not legitimate and authentic given that station logos and show titles are made obvious. She has only been around 2 years and has covered appropriate publishing to broadcasting at a young age, and she is a familiar face. Also, I have made amendments to the External Links with better referencing and removed all dead links. Hope this clears it all up and do propose some advice. Thanks, Preet 18:27, 12 January 2012 (UTC)Preet Sanghar — Preceding unsigned comment added by Preet Sanghar (talk • contribs) Thank you sirDear Sir, It was my first effort to creat article for Wikipedia. I am glad to recieve your comments for the improvements. Sir. I made this article 'Vineet Soni' as he is voluntarily working to conserve the threatened plant species and running 'Save Gugul Movement'. His work got wide appriciation because he is working at grassroot level for conservation. Soni serves as an inspiration to the youth because evenafter completing the doctorate and post doctorate, he is working at the surface level to protect the plant species. UNESCO france published a special interview in different language in A World of Scinece. I did my best to remove the unreferenced contents from the article. I kindly request you to edit the article and prevent it from the deletion. If you still think that its not good, then remove it sir. With warm regards |
