FAC response

Hi. I'm the editor nominating Sons of Soul for FAC. I made some fixes in response to your comments, but also have questions/comments of my own about some of your points. Dan56 (talk) 13:12, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I've got it watchlisted. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:25, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

VidMuze Page Deleted but needs to be modified.

Yes, if you can open the VidMuze page up again so I can make changes to it, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgvideographer (talk • contribs) 15:10, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Thank you very much for participating in my RfA. I appreciate that you took the time and effort to assess my contribution history, something that most people couldn't be bothered to do.

Oh, and just as a side note, I hope you didn't feel badgered or irritated by my response to your oppose. I had felt compelled to post a link to the "Sherlock" comment in my answer to Q3, for reasons of disclosure, which is where Mysterytrey originally picked it up from. I looked at it after the fact and actually felt kind of bad, sort of a "holy crap, I didn't mean for it to come across that way!" moment. I opted against posting on the talk page of whoever initially added that material to the article, in the off chance that they did not see the edit summary (and thus, no harm no foul). I don't mean to sound as if I'm above saying things that can be construed as being offensive, but I'm generally a pretty easy person to get along with. Hopefully your impression of me wasn't permanently soured, but if it was, I won't hold it against you. If ever you see me around, don't worry — I won't bite. ;)

Anyways, take care. =)

(P.S. you're doing a great job as an admin so far) Master&Expert (Talk) 23:32, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks M&E. A bit more experience (edit count wise) and content creation will go a long way at RFA the next time you decide to run. Not necessarily Featured Content, but a couple of GAs at the very least. Seeing an article through to GA or FA shows dedication and can be a factor in how people !vote. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:41, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. And on that related note, I actually have an article going through DYK right now - Forced evictions in Azerbaijan. I've discovered a real passion for article writing that I hope to build off of in the months to come. Master&Expert (Talk) 00:57, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very nice (I'd suggest renaming to Forced evictions in Baku, as other parts of Azerbaijan may have expropriation issues too) If you are looking to work with human rights articles, Khazar2 is always a big help. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:00, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've done so. I'll drop him a line sometime. Thanks for the advice. =) Master&Expert (Talk) 01:17, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:29, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And you've got another reply. I also fixed up a few things in the article myself. Silverseren^C 09:43, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A question of image licensing

I found an image which should be in the Rape during the Bangladesh Liberation War article. It can be viewed here The image is quite graphic so I will understand if you do not wish to look at it. It appears all over the web so I have no idea who owns it, would it be allowed under fairuse? Darkness Shines (talk) 16:44, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that would pass NFCC#1. Sorry! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:11, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

AfD/merge of Oscar Flight UFO/Missile Incident

Hi again Crisco, I've completed the AfD merge of Oscar Flight UFO/Missile Incident into Malmstrom Air Force Base, so I'm contacting you as requested to handle the deletion of that page, which has been identified as an unlikely search term. I'm not sure how the attribution will work, in accordance with Wikipedia's licensing terms, but perhaps you'll deem that my merge was enough of a paraphrase as to not need it. The relevant content is in the 341st Strategic Missile Wing section; giving it its own section felt too WP:UNDUE. I'll leave the article for deletion as a redirect in the meantime. Best, BDD (talk) 22:01, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:13, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Köllnischer Park DYK

Hi: Thanks for promoting this, but wouldn't the bear pic show up better? See nom page. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:53, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the park shows up fine, but feel free to sub in the bear if you want. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:49, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I went ahead and did so. TAP didn't look at the separate German Wikipedia article on the Berlin bear, which has a section on the Bärenzwinger and this pic, which suits his hook better. --Yngvadottir (talk) 12:09, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SFF as a RS?

To be honest, I think it's one of those sources that's sort of half reliable, half not. I've heard people say that it is, but then others say that it isn't. I've never really gotten a straight answer on it. 0.o I think that was one of those sources that I added but wasn't entirely sure about.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:27, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense. I don't deal with the genre that much, so I skipped it when looking for sources (then again, I didn't know DVD Talk was reliable either) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:50, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Rajbir Dujaniya

Hi I created the above page.. which was nominated for speedy deletion by Zaldax (talk) on 02:34, 8 August 2012 (UTC) 16:59,

And before I could react ( i am not that frequent to wikipedia) you deleted on same day (8 August 2012 Crisco 1492 deleted page Talk:Rajbir Dujaniya )

I think it is a bit unfair that I or others were not given chance to clarify on the matter.. and if I remember correctly I have also given links to prove his notability as per guidelines in earlier deletion notice (a link to his song on itune and one other site which i dont remember now but had link on that page). So please look into the matter and undo it.. Thanks [[User:imdabs|Amit Амит अमित ਅਮਿਤ]] ([[User talk:imdabs|talk]]) (talk) 12:58, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Imdabs, I've looked over the article that was deleted and at the time it was deleted it didn't have a clear indication of importance. That being said, it's possible that you have further sources. Would you like me to recreate the article for you in your user space for you to work on? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:50, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination for parental brain

Hello, now that you have approved my DYK nomination for parental brain, what exactly is the next step? Do I have to wait for someone to promote it to one of the prep areas? Thank you very much for all your help with this article and your patience. Carina1205 (talk) 17:26, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, you just wait until someone builds the preparation areas (the step before the queues) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted pictures?

Hello,

I've been referred to you by another editor who said you are very good with image copyright.

If we look at this from Wikimedia Israel:

The spokesperson unit of the Israel Defense Forces began publishing its photographs online (on its Flickr account) under a free Creative Commons license. This move follows a long and protracted process of legislation promoted by WMIL in discussions in the Science and Technology Committee of the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. While legislation meant to free any work created by the Israeli government of copyright has not yet been accepted, the move by the IDF is certainly motivated by it. Hundreds of IDF Spokesperson images are now in use on Wikimedia projects. WMIL released a widely circulated press release condoning the move by the IDF spokesperson.

Now, a recent attack (2012 Egyptian-Israeli border attack) could use a photo of the attack, and such photos are provided on the IDF Spokesperson website. HOWEVER, these photos have NOT been uploaded to the IDF's Flickr account. I'm wondering whether I would still be allowed to upload these pictures from their official website, even though they're not on their official Flickr account.

Some other useful information - on many of the pictures (if not all, I just havent' seem them all) uploaded here on Wikipedia by the IDF, there is a notice by an administrator below that says the administrator reviewed it to make sure it was on the IDF's official Flickr account... I'm not sure though whether it would still be OK to have it on their official website, and perhaps they only checked to see if it was on their Flickr account to make sure it was legitimately the IDF.

So... Would I be allowed to publish pictures of the attack from the IDF official website that are NOT on the IDF's official Flickr account?

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it. --Activism1234 02:17, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The IDF images on Flickr that you linked to do not allow commercial reuse, which is necessary to be used on Wikipedia (we aren't commercial, but people who reuse our content sometimes are). However, I have good news for you. The IDF blog is licensed CC-BY-SA (Creative Commons Share-Alike Attribution), which is okay to use (click on "some rights reserved" at the bottom of the page; it links to this) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:24, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Side note: In case the license changes, I'd suggest archiving this version using http://www.webcitation.org — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:25, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it! --Activism1234 03:37, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nadar

Ok, I finished my comments on Nadar, sorry if I end up splitting hairs there by the end. Mark Arsten (talk) 03:13, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, could be worse. You could have taken a portal review. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:15, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Can't say I have any experience in those... alright, well, I've passed the article. Think you'll try for featured with it? Mark Arsten (talk) 03:45, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - That would be fun, but I bet most of the offline references are in Europe (like that French booklet). Thanks for the review! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:52, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No photo?♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:30, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm? Hermaphrodite (Nadar) has six of the 9 (and one of Nadar) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:31, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The folks at Did You Know wouldn't give it the lead spot for some reason... we have a nude person as the DYK picture today though, so perhaps attitudes are changing. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:28, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FAC question

Thanks for your review and leaned support at 3 May Const article. I have another article that recently passed milhist A-class that I'd like to push towards a FA, Stanisław Koniecpolski. Do you think I should wait for when the 3 May is passed, or can I have two FACs at the same time? Time-wise, I should be able to handle both, it's more of a "are there enough reviewers" issue. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 20:15, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Per FAC: "An editor is allowed to be the sole nominator of only one article at a time; however, two nominations may be allowed if the editor is a co-nominator on at least one of them." So, in other words, guidelines say no. However, occasionally one of the delegates will give permission to run more than one at the same time. I suggest asking Ian Rose or Graham Colm — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:05, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Maladi

On 11 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Maladi, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that professional goalkeeper Maladi was instrumental in the development of television in Indonesia? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Maladi. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

CPJ International Press Freedom Awards

Okay, I wrote a lengthier intro section for CPJ International Press Freedom Awards--I'm at about 3250 characters. Take a look and let me know what you think. I've looked at a few samples, but still don't have a great feel for how these usually read. So I'm happy to do whatever more revision is needed. Otherwise feel free to go ahead and co-nom at your leisure. (I'll keep participating, but you're far more used to the process/paperwork involved.)

Incidentally, I also wrote to CPJ directly to see if they have images of their awards banquet we can use as another illustration, or at least to give us a broader choice of individual winners. I like the ones you've already posted, though, so no need to wait for them before moving forward.

Thanks for this offer! Should be fun. Khazar2 (talk) 03:54, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll bump it up with references (apparently it's not all on one page :-( ). It may be nice to have a brief descriptor of what they got it for. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:00, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I can do that--it's the sort of repetitive task I excel at. Just do one to give me an example format to follow (e.g., should each person be footnoted? Or each year?) I can handle the descriptors, too, though CPJ doesn't always name just one incident in giving the award. Khazar2 (talk) 04:03, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just added one in. No need to archive if you don't want to, but I find it easier to maintain. The only issue with having information on what they did in the table is that it will have to be individually cited (hence why I suggest not adding it yet) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:12, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Mannus Franken

On 11 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Mannus Franken, which you created or substantially expanded.

You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Visual Arts Center of Richmond

Hi! I understand that you were the administrator who deleted the page for the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, and I was hoping I could get a copy restored so that I might edit it and fix the problems with the page. I had worked on it for the better part of a day, went to bed, and when I woke up to work on the page some more, it was gone. I understand that there was a problem with a quote I had included not meeting the criteria for how to cite a source, and am happy to delete the quote. i also intended to work on making the piece read more "neutral" and had researched sources to cite a lot more of the information.

I spent a lot of time on this page (my first ever) and would appreciate the chance to improve the page rather than have it deleted without that opportunity.

Thanks!

moxfulder99 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.203.23 (talk) 19:52, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Moxfulder, I'm sorry but I can't do that. The article was deleted for copyvio as it was too close to the source material (in places the exact same). Copyright law does not allow an exact copying and pasting of copyrighted material, and the VACoR has full copyright over their text. You're welcome to start from scratch, assuming you paraphrase the source better. For example, rather than use a quote from the source you could has something like "The Visual Arts Center of Richmond, located in the Fan District of Richmond, Virginia, is an arts center dedicated to improving community awareness of visual arts." and so on. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:08, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Wikileaks revelations from Indonesia page Hi Crisco, I just wondered why you had removed the addition of Wikileaks revelations to the Indonesia page entry 'foreign relations' section. Primary sources were provided. The cables have been a huge point in modern international politics, and I think worthy of inclusion. They provide an insight into what the US Government really think about the current administrations handling of one of the most pressing domestic issues facing Indonesia - that of the independence struggle in West Papua.
