User talk:Peridon

Just in case anyone wants to talk to me.... Peridon (talk) 20:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC) Back numbers of this magazine can be found at: User talk:Peridon/Archives/2008/November User talk:Peridon/Archives/2009/May User talk:Peridon/Archives/2010/February User talk:Peridon/Archives/2010/January[reply]

The rest of this is archived somewhere. There's a nice little bot comes in and tidies up. (Could do with one at home...) Not quite sure where it puts the stuff, but I'm working on it... Meantime, copy one of the above and change the date to suit - or look at the little archive box that Jean Calleo gave me.

Please add messages at the bottom of the page so I can find them. Thanks. Do put a heading inside == == and sign with ~~~~. If you don't get a reply from me (or one of the stalkers...) within a reasonable time, you've probably not read this. If you have read it and ignored it, it's your own fault. If you haven't read it, READ IT NOW. Another reason to post at the bottom is that if you post at the top and someone else posts at the bottom, I'll see their message, but won't suspect there's another. Up to you. Ignore this if you want. Just don't blame me.

Deletion of Bedrock Geology UK North

You stated in your response that you are unable to accept my assertion that I have full authority to give permission for Rhondeag to use the material on the page Bedrock Geology UK North, as an employee of the copyright holder Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).

Please could you inform me how I can prove that I have full authority on behalf of the copyright holder NERC to allow this material to be uploaded on to Wikipedia, and what level of proof does Wikipedia require to show I have this authority to grant permission to Rhondeag.

I look forward to receiving your reply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmc08 (talk • contribs) 09:15, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can accept my assertion that I am an administrator on the English language Wikipedia as this can be verified in an official list, and by the fact that I have the 'power' to delete and restore articles WP:ADMINISTRATOR. This is a verifiable assertion. I'm afraid I have nothing but your assertion that you and Rhondeag are connected in any way to the NERC or the BGS (or that you are two different editors and not one person). I am assuming the better position, that you are two people and that you in particular are higher up the chain of command. I am not going to ask you to 'out' yourselves (see WP:OUTING), but I do ask you to read WP:COPYVIO and WP:DCM where details of how to allow materials under your control may by licensed for use, and how this position may be verified. DCM gives more info on the licensing variations. As to the question of non-free content, I would advise waiting a couple of days for Moonriddengirl to return. However, I would draw your attention to On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog both for its relevance to our care over unprovable assertions, and the 'fair use' of the cartoon in question. By the way, please sign talk page posts with four ~ things. This places your signature and the datestamp. The bots don't catch every unsigned post.

In case I seem over suspicious, I would tell you that I have been involved in more than one case where someone has used multiple names and styles, and we do get students pretending to be their tutors (occasionally reasonably well...). There is a lot of work on Wikipedia that is not seen by the casual visitor, in keeping information accurate and free from bias, and in keeping advertising out. Also, there is work in keeping vandals down and avoiding legal problems. With over 4,000,000 articles, this is quite a lot when you consider that we are volunteers (including the few Wikimedia employees, who do their work on Wikipedia as volunteers except when enforcing some ruling from the top).

Tittre

I have made an article for the word tittre. You deleted it so I wanted to make it again but I'm afraid you will just delete it again. The word tittre is very unpopular, not found in any dictionary's or on the web. So I thought I would add it to Wikipedia because you would let me, and the world needs to know about tittre. Witch is why I'm conplaing that You deleted my article, because I have tried to add this article to Wikipedia for 2 years now, but every time it's gets deleted. By the way tittre means shame on you. (Posted first by User:Theipadaccount and moved from wrong place by Peridon (talk) 13:26, 16 September 2012 (UTC))[reply]

No, we won't let you unless you can show that it IS in use and known. This isn't a place for promoting things, from businesses to new words. Please do not put up any more pages about it until you can show notability, and do not add it to other articles. You're not the first to try to get a 'new' word on here, and you won't be the last. Take a tip - it doesn't work. If you're bored, try some proper editing or play FreeCell or Minesweeper. Peridon (talk) 13:31, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know, but how do I make a proper page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theipadaccount (talk • contribs) 13:37, 16 September 2012 (UTC) What if I don't use wiki to advertize, because this isn't my job. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theipadaccount (talk • contribs) 13:40, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Find a proper subject and check that it's not already there. Have a look at WP:PRIMER and ask at the Teahouse WP:TEAHOUSE. They're very good at getting people started. BTW Please sign talk page posts with four ~ things. Advertising is promoting anything - even without being paid. Peridon (talk) 13:46, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please keep to the thread here at the bottom of the page? It makes things easier to find. Indent with : (one per space required) and sign at the end with ~~~~ Peridon (talk) 13:53, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible if I made tittre page with out advertising that you wouldnt delete it? Theipadaccount (talk) 14:00, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No. This isn't the place for simple dictionary definitions. They are at Wiktionary, but they are only established words. As there are no references for tittre as a word in English, it doesn't belong in either. You could try Urban Dictionary - they have a lot of new and unusual stuff. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and we only record things that can be referenced and verified. End of story, I'm afraid. Peridon (talk) 14:08, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of "Reentko" in English

Hi Peridon,

I wanted to know the reason (quote/line/links???) why you deleted my post about Reentko in English on September 17th. I can assure that the content is respecting the artist´s biography and that the links are proven. In case there is some special rule about that, please let me know in DETAIL, since a simple deletion of the entire page is not helpful for improving the material on wikipedia.

Thanks a lot.

Please sign in when asking about something like this - it makes it easier to know who we are talking to and to find your contributions. OK. I deleted the article because the text is copyright and cannot be brought in here. It has already been published at http://www.beatmp3.net/artist/reentko.html. You may well have written it. It still can't just be copied straight in. Wikipedia is licensed under CC-BY-SA for reuse by anyone, anywhere. Your text isn't licensed under Creative Commons, and can't be reused by anyone anywhere. So it can't be posted here. Text that is licensed can be, with an acknowledgement, and also text that is in the public domain (which means there is no copyright on it) can be. Public domain is usually stuff like the works of Charles Dickens, because he died more than 70 years ago, or some stuff from certain US Government departments, but there are arguments that the latter are not necessarily free in every nation. Also, you fail to show notability - please see WP:BAND. That is worded more for pop stuff, and other forms of music may not be as tough to get through - but with no references, you stand no chance. The first time it was deleted was because there were no reliable independent sources WP:RS. Own sites don't count as independent (and many are not reliable either...), and non-reliable places include blogs, forums, wikis, reverbnation, discogs, Facebook, YouTube and so on. No biography of a living person will last more than 10 days with no references. Anything that is copyright will go even quicker. Sorry, those are the rules. We don't just take people's word for things. (If you looked at the articles in the deletion categories, you might find it easier to understand why we don't take people's word without support.) I hope this helps. Peridon (talk) 18:54, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From Russia, from Kalash1111 (Russian version Wikipedia)

Please, help me! This letter for mister Jimmy Donal Wales:

"Hello! In 2011-2012, I wrote 30 articles for Wikipedia. Almost all of them were related to article Соседов, Пётр Иванович. This article was deleted by the administrator. I ask to restore the article."

77.74.185.53 (talk) 11:34, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jimmy Wales will have read your post on his talk page, and as he hasn't made a comment, I think that means he agrees with my answer. You wouldn't ask Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин to deal with a problem like a blocked drain, would you? Jimmy doesn't deal with things like undeleting articles - there is a place specially for that and in your case that is ru:Википедия:К восстановлению. That is the place on the Russian Википедия for people to ask for articles to be brought back from the grave. Only administrators on the Russian Википедия can undelete the article. But first, ask yourself why they deleted the articles. Perhaps they were not showing that Пётр Иванович Соседов was a person of importance. Perhaps they seemed to be advertising for him. Perhaps there already was an article about him. I cannot say, as I cannot read the deleted articles. I am an administrator here, but I am not an administrator on any other Wikipedia, and not very many people are administrators on more than one. You can ask the administrators there to explain why they deleted the articles. You have made a lot of edits and administrators are usually helpful to people who want to know more and build the Wikipedias. I spend a lot of time explaining things to editors here, but I can't be more help than this on Russian matters. No administrator deletes articles just for fun. If one did, he or she would lose their powers quickly. We have to have reasons. Ask to have those reasons explained. Good luck. Peridon (talk) 18:37, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is a pity...

Sarazino

I worked on adding references, credible material etc... Another wiki editor has been kind enough to clearly steer me through the proper code formatting so it all makes sense. You said the article was not totally gone, but I have not heard back since I edited it. What is the next step, I know now that I can make that page up to wikipedias standards. Like to hear back.. Johncumbancha (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:57, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was gone, but any admin can restore an article that's deleted. (Unless the oversighters have been at it, in which case only they can. I think they can, anyway. Never come across a case of then doing it to something deleted yet.) It's now at User:Johncumbancha/SarazinoDraft. BTW Don't just put your signature at the end of talk posts as a link - just type in four ~ things only. That turns magically into your signature and a datestamp as soon as you save.
