Welcome! Feel free to leave comments, critiques, etc., below. Unless you specifically request that I answer on your talk page, I'll be answering here, as I prefer to keep as much of the conversation in one place as possible. I'm not new to Wikipedia but I'm sure I'll still make mistakes. If I do something wrong, please let me know and give me as much information as possible so that I can make sure that I don't make the same mistake again. Thanks!

AFT5 newsletter
Hey again all :). So, some big news, some small news, some good news, some bad news!
On the "big news" front; we've now deployed AFT5 on to 10 percent of articles, This is pretty awesome :). On the "bad news", however, it looks like we're having to stop at 10 percent until around September - there are scaling issues that make it dangerous to deploy wider. Happily, our awesome features engineering team is looking into them as we speak, and I'm optimistic that the issues will be resolved.
For both "small" and "good" news; we've got another office hours session. This one is tomorrow, at 22:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office connect - I appreciate it's a bit late for Europeans, but I wanted to juggle it so US east coasters could attend if they wanted :). Hope to see you all there!
DJ Hollygrove
Trying to get a clear explanation as to why this DJ who is on itunes and other major reliable sourcing info is not being allow wikipedia access? MacBookbro1 (talk) 00:02, 17 Dec 2012 (UTC)
- Subjects found on Wikipedia must be considered "notable" by Wikipedia's notability guidelines (see WP:N). Specifically, this subject could use WP:GNG, WP:BIO, and WP:ARTIST to establish notability. The article is now deleted but from what I can remember, it claimed something rather outrageous like one million sales of an unnamed album. There was no reference for this and it seems incredibly unlikely as he has no music on iTunes at all. It also cited him being on iTunes with a reference that shows that he has his own app. I could have my own app but that doesn't satisfy any notability guideline. He also has no coverage from independent and reliable news sources from what I could find and I didn't see any in the article (Googles News search, Google News Archive search).
- Long story short, if you want this article to make it into mainspace, you'll probably need to initiate a deletion review here. The page was created and deleted several times to the point where DJ Hollygrove was locked to prevent creation. If you need help with that, I'd be willing to help but before that happens, I really suggest reading over WP:GNG, WP:BIO, and WP:ARTIST so that you can make an argument as to why the article should be reinstated. Does that help? OlYeller21Talktome 06:19, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi OlYeller. As I am a prolific Talk page stalker (hopefully not to the extent of being rude) I came across your note to DGG and put my two cents in the AfD discussion. Hopefully my ideas was helpful. Cheers! CorporateM (Talk) 19:14, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Buzkashi boys copyright
Were any subsequent edits made to the original page after I created it? Also, Which section of the original article were copied "verbatim" from the official website? I did not even use the website as a source except for the names of cast and crew members. I added the plot summary from memory after viewing the film, and the production information was a few words from a speech the film's director gave after the screening I attended. Ive always thought "verbatim" meant word-for-word exact quotations and the only one I intentionally added was a line from the film. Any others would have been unintentional and one coincidence. I have been editing Wikipedia for over 8 years and am very familiar with the rules here. My boss is the copyright liaison at a large university and I know more than enough about copyright and am far too compliant with it to knowingly break any rules.

- Just out of curiosity, if the roles were switched here, would you want to keep explaining to someone why you did what you did after being accused of some sort of coercion?
- I'm volunteering here and I don't feel that my time and effort are worth replying to you about this - again. I felt that it was a copyright violation. DGG felt that it was a copyright violation. I don't care if your boss, dad, or wife is the President of the World Championship League of Copyrights. I never said you intentionally broke any rules. I also never said you don't know what you're doing after 8 years. Even though you apparently don't know that WP:DRV would be the only place to take this issue at this point and that you placed a {{hangon}} tag on an article that wasn't up for speedy deletion, I don't fault you. I'm just trying to help you. No one here is familiar and well versed in every single policy and guideline and no one should expect others to be.
- It seems clear to me that you're taking this far too personally. The accusations over "trumping up" a way to delete your page, citing your boss's experience, and coming to someone who can not (not will not) help you, tells me that this issues may be more about your feelings than what's best for Wikipedia. Take a step back. Your work still exists in a deleted form. Go to DRV and ask someone there to review the text. Better yet, take a little time to flesh out the article using as many sources as you can. I'm sorry to be so blunt with you but I'm not going to do this dance when there is no outcome where I can help you outside of helping you to flesh out the current page. I only have so much time and effort to give here.
- If you would like help with something, besides rehashing and attempting to convince me that you were right and I was wrong (and DGG was wrong), let me know. OlYeller21Talktome 15:41, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
