User talk:Mdann52

READ BEFORE POSTING!!

If you are looking for a post that has disappeared, It is probally in one of the archives.

If you post here, I will reply here and place a talkback notice on your page. I'd appreciate if you do the same if I post to your user talk page.

No personal attacks, please. They are pointless, and will only get you in trouble.

Thanks, Mdann52 (talk)

My current time - to update

to-do

Thanks for your quick answer to Franklin Paladin. But, as of today, the unwanted item is still in Google. It now shows the code you gave me (_noindex_). I had added a delete( Template:Dbuserreq ) and that's there too. No changes except for those two. See the following as it still appears in Google when searching with: "User:Franklin Paladin": QUOTE User:Franklin Paladin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Franklin_Paladin User:Franklin Paladin.

Why are you reverting my edits on the University of Louisville School of Medicine Page?

U of L School of Medicine Needs Its Own Page.

May I suggest you use WP:Article Wizard to create it then? We generally don't let IP's create new pages. Mdann52 (talk) 16:12, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Here's the only problem. I'm very, very new to Wikipedia, don't have much time, and I'm not that computer savvy. 50.30.172.228 (talk) 17:11, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I hope this is going into the correct page. Still clueless on the Wikipedia format. Please reply, and I will try to give you the big picture.

Why make this edit?

doesn't seem a good one Johnbod (talk) 13:54, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

I understand the revert in this case. The name of the discoverer, although unsourced in the original, was changed. In addition, some of that looked like original research. That said, it looks like they tried to source it. This Change of named discover of elephant<refWenban-Smith, F.F., P. Allen, M.R. Bates, S.A. Parfitt, R.C. Preece, J.R. Stewart, C. Turner and J.E. Whittaker. 2006. The Clactonian elephant butchery site at Southfleet Road, Ebbsfleet, UK. Journal of ></ref>) was their edit summary. In addition, they shouldn't have received {{Uw-vandalism1}}, instead they should have received {{Uw-unsourced1}} which invites them to re-add the material. Ryan Vesey 14:09, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

The main reason the vandalism tag was put on was because it was a script, which automatically adds it after the revert, and I forgot to go back and change it. Mdann52 (talk) 14:19, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Does igloo not allow you to choose a tag? If not, I suggest you use twinkle or huggle. Ryan Vesey 14:28, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

They didn't "try" to reference it, they did reference it very thoroughly, with two academic articles and a link to a university website (not the best page, but still). How does that "look like original research"???? This is exactly the sort of edit that puts off new adult users and damages the project. You should both know better. Johnbod (talk) 18:22, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

I was offering an explanation of why I believed the revert might have been made. With the new diff view I didn't notice the references they put in. Sans the references, adding "suggesting it was butchered for its meat by early humans of that era" after "The skeleton was surrounded by flint tools" would be OR. Ryan Vesey 18:28, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, but the references were clearly there, until Mdann52 removed them of course! Johnbod (talk) 03:15, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Believeniks! declination

Hi, you declined my proposed entry on the book Believeniks! on the basis of its lack of notability and because of its lack of independent references.

Believeniks! is a novel co-written by Jonathan Lethem, who is widely considered to be one of the most significant novelists, short story writers, and essayists working in the United States. The amount of independent coverage available online and elsewhere that demonstrates the extent to which this is a general opinion is, in a word, exhaustive. He is the recipient of the National Book Critics Circle Award and a MacArthur Fellowship, as well as numerous other honors. Currently he holds the endowed chair at Pomona College previously occupied by David Foster Wallace. Believeniks! is the only one of Lethem's novels not accorded its own Wikipedia entry. Moreover, Lethem's co-author, Christopher Sorrentino, is a well-respected novelist and short story writer and a finalist for the National Book Award. While his reputation is not quite that of Lethem's, once again there is considerable independent information available that confirms his national reputation as a writer.

As to the independence of the sources cited, I'm a little baffled. The entry cites New York Magazine, an independent magazine; the New York Observer, an independent newspaper; and GalleyCat, an independent website published by MediaBistro. None of these sources is connected in any way with the authors or publishers of this book.

I would surely like to know what can possibly be done to heighten the notability of something that is inherently notable -- i.e., an addition to the canon of work by an author increasingly considered canonical -- and to enhance the independence of sources that are demonstrably independent of the subject of the article.

Thank you. 69.119.59.55 (talk) 17:18, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

I feel the sources in it are not enough to have referenced everything. By all means resubmit it if you think it is ok. Mdann52 (talk) 17:31, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Help on a NPOV

Hi there, I have submitted the following which has been approved. But I'm noticing it has a NPOV flag on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Daryl_Logullo Can you kindly point me in the right direction on what needs improving so I can make the appropriate adjustments?

Update on Arcandam

After a warning from User:Worm That Turned, Arcandam refused to (or couldn't) disengage and he was given a 48 Hour block for "disruptive editing, personal attacks and refusing to disengage after being expressly warned to". Almost immediately Arcandam blanked his talk page and posted that he was retiring and he hated "those incompetent admins". I figure he will be back after his block. At least for 48 hours he won't be bothering Ryan, me or anyone else. :) Thanks again for your help. Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • 08:36, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

We just need to keep an eye out for Socks now; I've got a suspicion we may of not seen the last of him yet.... Mdann52 (talk) 16:17, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

I figure he will unretire once the block is up and it will continue from there. Either way, I am not worried. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 16:34, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

To be honest, it was the best way to stop a dispute forming. Please make your views known on WP:Articles for deletion/World Bible Center. Mdann52 (talk) 19:50, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

There are some articles ​​that are only in four lines. I do not see the problem here. פארוק (talk) 19:58, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

I guess I'd be interesting in learning more about the other counter-vandalism tools, as well as dealing with vandals. Right now, I've been using Twinkle, but that's the only tool I've any experience with.

AFC Backlog

Articles for Creation urgently needs YOUR help! Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 1136 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk. Do you have what it takes? Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines? Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not? Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions? Are you autoconfirmed? Can you review submissions based on their individual merits? If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions. PS: we have a great AFC helper script at User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js which helps in reviewing in just few edits easily! We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial.
