here you go - just follow this: WP:WDAFD Jytdog (talk) 17:08, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Abu Zubaydah, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bush administration. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Seeking your help to translate from English

Hello my fellow Wikipedian,

Thanks for taking your time off to help hapless Wikipedians and otherwise stucked-up articles find their way to the forefront of other non-English speaking readers. I would hope that I have approached you the right way.

Nonetheless, I humbly seeks your intervention to translate the following pages, since I gathered that it may mean something to Wiki readers in other languages.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Letters_to_Obama

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Adonis

Thanks in anticipation for facilitating this request.

Did you nominate this article for deletion?

Did you actually nominate the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Adonis for deletion?

Are you crazy?

Where are your reasons?

You was asked to assist with translation because I felt that the article is deserving of translation.

I consider this vandalism.

It is not vandalism. Reasons for deletion are given on the deletion page. Bueller 007 (talk) 16:42, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Totally disagreed, and would maintain that it is an act of vandalism.
Then you need to learn how to use Wikipedia. Bueller 007 (talk) 17:06, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your Input

I noticed you have been policing non-notable bios. I've had several on my watchlist that have been notability-tagged for quite a while and would appreciate your opinion on whether they might be salvaged or would better go to AfD or Prod: Alexa Sand, Animal Rights Hall of Fame, Annie Reiner, Chris Griscom, Debra Fine, Dying While Black, Jane M. Blocker, Jenna Torres, Kiki Ebsen, Ronald Loui, Sarah Turner (journalist), Sarita Shrestha, Tamara Millay, Tanya Mayo, Ted Junker, The Quiet Club. Thanks in advance for any attention you might be able to give to these. Agricola44 (talk) 16:20, 20 January 2015 (UTC).[reply]

  • My recommendations would be to keep "Sarita Shrestha" and (probably) "Animal Rights Hall of Fame" (though I think that is already established here, so it can just be a redirect). Probably keep "Kiki Ebsen" (though the article/referencing needs to be improved). "Tamara Millay" should merely be a redirect page to the most recent election that she has run in. The "Ted Junker" story seems like it might be notable and interesting, but on the other hand WP:ONEEVENT and the article is crap. All the rest can be deleted for sure, I'd say. Bueller 007 (talk) 16:41, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Agricola44 (talk) 17:28, 20 January 2015 (UTC).[reply]
Thanks for starting to take care of some the edits (Tamara Millay, Animal Rights Hall of Fame). I think the really obvious ones I will first try to Prod to see how those pan out. Agricola44 (talk) 22:09, 20 January 2015 (UTC).[reply]
dropping by, in my opinion Jane Blocker will easily meet WP:PROF. Richard Louis might well be notable, but the article is outrageous over-detail, the very sort of thing that is so difficult to deal with here. DGG ( talk ) 01:23, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update on Ariel Fernandez: Latest Book

I am glad to report on the publication of my new book: Biomolecular Interfaces (Springer). Please update the wikipedia article Ariel Fernandez as you see fit. The link to the Springer title is pasted below: http://www.springer.com/la/book/9783319168494 Appreciated. 201.219.86.155 (talk) 01:57, 29 April 2015 (UTC)Ariel Fernandez[reply]

Fiorina

Thanks for giving some expert attention to the Carly Fiorina article. This is just a friendly reminder about the WP:3RR policy. I haven't examined your edits closely enough to see if you've exceeded the 3RR threshold, but I figured it couldn't hurt to remind you about it, given the number of edits today. Cheers.Anythingyouwant (talk) 02:17, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

3RR is designed to prevent edit wars, and there's no evidence that any of my recent edits are part of one. Or that I have reverted anything more than once. What exactly are you suggesting? Bueller 007 (talk) 02:21, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a matter of how many times you have been reverted. It's a matter of how many times you have reverted stuff that was already in the article. There are probably editors besides myself who have stopped themselves after changing article content several times today. If you haven't read the WP:3RR policy in a while, it might be worth a look. Cheers.Anythingyouwant (talk) 02:26, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Right, it's about undoing what others have done. Quoting, "A series of consecutive saved revert edits by one user with no intervening edits by another user counts as one revert." As I said, 3RR is about edit warring; there can be no war if there's only one person engaged... There have been no intervening edits to any of the content that I've changed, so I have performed a total of exactly one "revert" today. Bueller 007 (talk) 02:38, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The intervening edits need not involve the same content.Anythingyouwant (talk) 02:48, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Strangers in the Night

Thanks for the citation, which supports elements of the story. I hope you can see why I originally deleted the section though - it has been unreferenced for over a year, and your citation only appeared today! Everything on Wikipedia, MUST be reliably referenced.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Ariel Fernandez article editing

Dear Bueller007, I appreciate your efforts to tighten and fix the BLP (I may disagree with some things but will not interfere). I have an idea to put this matter to rest once and for all. Would you agree to tighten up the paragraph on the challenged papers? Instead of "more than two hundred peer-reviewed papers", the accurate statement would be "more than 250 peer reviewed papers (Scopus), or about 350 (listed in his CV)". Instead of "Several" papers have been questioned, I would say "Four". If you agree with such changes, I could have someone translate the entire BLP into Spanish and thus fix the Spanish version as it seems to be a matter of concern to you as well. Sincerely, Ariel Fernandez.181.10.76.232 (talk) 13:06, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think 200 is a better estimate according to Scopus, since the total article count is just over 250, and a number of the papers listed are errata, corrigenda, etc. Google Scholar is not an acceptable source for total article count because it picks up poster presentations, etc. I think several --> four is a fair change. Bueller 007 (talk) 17:03, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is fine with me. Appreciated. In order to show my side of the story, would you consider quoting a brief disclaimer that I can compose and post in my professional website? The disclaimer could read as follows:

"In regards to my four papers challenged by NIH software contractor Joshua L. Cherry, I hereby state that no proof of invalid data exists or has been presented that would require retraction. AF " Once you are satisfied with the BLP, I can translate it into Spanish, so you can incorporate it into the Spanish Wkipedia as you see fit. I trust this would be agreeable to you. Sincerely, AF.181.10.76.232 (talk) 21:26, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ariel. I suggest that "Joshua L. Cherry" is removed from the statement, as Wikipedia will not be able to quote your statement directly unless you can substantiate that he is the claimant somewhere on a non-self-published source. If you put the statement on your own website under your own name and send me the URL, I will add the statement to the end of that paragraph. (However, it will be up to the community to determine whether they wish to keep the statement on the article or not. In the interest of balance, I think it will be safe to say that it should be kept.) You should not contribute to your own article in any language (even if it is just a translation), so I recommend you check with the Wikipedia list of English-Spanish translators to convert it. Bueller 007 (talk) 23:38, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Bueller007. I posted a brief disclaimer and removed the name Joshua L. Cherry from it. The disclaimer is now published online at the url:

http://www.profarielfernandez.com/disclaimer.html In regards to the Spanish translation, I will search for an official Wikipedia translator once you are satisfied with the article. Sincerely, AF.186.138.183.140 (talk) 00:34, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
