== My opinion about sources and their origin ==

Hi. I just have a remark about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Vacio#Notice_of_editing_restrictions_2 this notification]. Have you please some minutes to consider it?

I will take care of this warning and try not to emphasize the origin of sources. However you wrote that this editing restrictions were based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Agdam_Mosque&diff=prev&oldid=465173157 my comment here], but in this talkpage my comment was not solely based on the origin of the sources quoted in the article, but the comparison of the information provided by them and international source (such as [[RFERL]]). I mentioned the fact that those sources were from Azerbaijan, not because I think ''all'' Azerbaijani sources are not neutral (I follow myself many Azeri's on Twitter and read Azeri bloggers with much respect for the information they provide), but because those specific sources seemed to be not very neutral and accurate when compared with international sources with high credibility.

Maybe I overreacted a little bit (frankly, somehow I felt challenged by user Verman1 who labelled Armenian sources earlier [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Da%C5%9Fk%C9%99s%C9%99n&action=historysubmit&diff=464177392&oldid=464003367 "far from being neutral"]), but my intention was good and my intention was to use the talkpage to reach a consensus acceptable for all parties. Since I was warned for edit-warring in 2009, I really did my best to avoid edit-warring, so I honestly ask you to reconsider this new restrictions. In any case, thank you for your time reading this. I wish you a nice Sunday-evening :) --[[User:Vacio|<font color="#1E90FF">'''va'''</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Vacio|<font color="#FF8C00">'''c'''</font>]][[User_talk:Vacio|<font color="#1E90FF">'''io'''</font>]] 14:28, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Revision as of 14:28, 11 December 2011

  • Post all new sections at the bottom of this page, not at random.
  • If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond, it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
  • If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing.
  • If you are here to ask a question regarding deletion of any kind, please read this before asking, and ask only if you need further clarification or still disagree after reading. If you ask a question answered there, I'll just refer you to it anyway.
  • While I will generally leave any personal attacks or uncivil comments you may make about me here, that does not mean that I find them acceptable, nor that I will not seek action against attacks that are severe or persistent.
  • I reserve the right to remove, revert, or immediately archive any material on this page, but will do so only in extreme circumstances, generally that of personal attacks or outing attempts against others.

November copy edit drive

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!

The Wikipedia Guild of Copy-Editors invites you to participate in the November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue.

Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page.

Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style.

Awards and barnstars

A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants, some of which are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page.

Thank you; we look forward to meeting you on the drive!

User talk: AdrianMKane

I am inquiring on a page that I just posted for the company "Insurance technologies". It was removed per speedy deletion. I am contesting it due to pages like StoneRiver, that are allowed to remain. I have read the guidelines and appreciate any advice on further conforming the article to better meet standards. At this point, I am not sure if I should resubmit the page since its missing now, go back and edit more and resubmit or other? It is not a marketing page, and just lists the significant achievments to qualify the page. please advise AdrianMKane (talk) 16:50, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Username change question

User:Wi-destination Hi, thank you for your consideration and for providing me another chance to contribute Wikipedia. I have made a request, as guided by you, for new username. Please let me know what I should do next (I mean how and when can I start fresh with my new username?). Awaiting your response. Thanks once again and regards. Subhadeep A. Mitra — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wi-destination (talk • contribs) 07:49, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A bureaucrat will notate the request once the name change has been done (or if it's not done for some reason, but the bot's already OK'd it, so I don't foresee that happening). You may edit normally while the request is pending, all the edits you make will automatically be moved to the new username. Seraphimblade Talk to me 15:04, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]


EMTEE DELETED WITHOUT PROPER JUSTIFICATION AS QUOTES WERE BEING PLACED

User:Wi-destination Fala querido na humildade eu peço para deixar a página em inglês do Emtee. Por favor do not delete his page place in my sandbox or help us Brazilians put it up to stay on a permanant bases my amigo. Obrigado cabeludo, fedediodo.

Help up cabeludo... [[1]] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosedarlingdf (talk • contribs) 20:51, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Let's be clear on several problems we had here. Firstly, you cited several "sources" that didn't even support what they were supposed to be sourcing. I'll chalk that up to inexperience this time, but please note that this is absolutely unacceptable—when you cite a source, it must back up what you're citing it for. In the future, that's cause for an immediate and indefinite block from editing. Secondly, you seem, from your comments, to seem to think that since this is a nice guy who works for a good cause, we should have an article about him. While I do not doubt that he is a nice guy who works for a good cause, we have only one question we ask to decide whether or not we should have an article about a subject—namely, has the subject been covered substantially in several reliable sources unaffiliated with and not having an interest in the subject? If the answer is no, we can't have the article for any reason. So prior to taking any action, please point me toward sources that cover Emtee in depth. Not a passing mention and not a mention of something else, but actually cover him. If those don't exist, no article is possible. Thirdly, don't dump a whole article on my talk page again. And finally, we do not offer article placement in exchange for money, and the fact that you seem to think so gives me the idea that you really don't understand the purpose of this project. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:00, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ok. I understand perfectly Mr. Seraphim Blade. I will not post the article in your page. First of all, be aware that I am a programmer at UnB. And I do understand fully the concept of WIKIPEDIA, as it is one of my favorite sources for reliable and correct information. Next, Mr. Marco Antonio vulgo EMTEE is not merely a cara legal or as you Americans or English ou Australians or Canadians would say a "nice guy". He has been in the Brazilian Hip Hop scene for several years and has proved himself over and over again AMIGO. Thirdly, if that is correto, THE SOURCES ARE COMPLETELY CORRECT and we will post more. Like videos from rede globo, of him in interviews too. He was awarded by GDF (Government of Distrito Federal) 2nd place in the POLLS for BEST BRAZILIAN HIP HOP DF CD of 2011. So, my amigo, either your portuguese is rusty or you do not want to aid us with this article. Which, is no problem. Thanks for the time Mr. Blade. stay well and no hard feelings matey. As for the contribution IT WAS IN NO SHAPE OR FORM AN ATTEMPT TO BRIBE the blades, just merely a gesture of our appreciation towards such an outstanding website and a tribute to the programmer Brandon Harris. Obrigado, novamente mano.

      • Prezado facanatuacard, mais refências para o EMTEE:

Let's evaluate what you just gave me, shall we?

Sorry guys, I'm done with this one, and I don't appreciate being played for a fool with "sources" that don't even mention the article subject. Machine translation isn't that hard even if I don't speak Portuguese. Also, choose one account to edit from, sockpuppetry and meatpuppetry are both disallowed. Seek a deletion review if you think the deletion was wrong, you've just made my mind up firmly it was right if these are the best sources you can offer. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:39, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Desculpa.. Sorry why, played a besta?? What are you professionally??? what do you do for your income? Not to get personal, but I am a Physics student at UnB (Universidade de BSB) if you are a fool than why DELETE DIRECTLY. Let Mr. Brandon Harris directly verify tghe sources amiguinho. PAZ.

as vezes o cara nem sabe utilizar a função SEARCH kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.222.188.106 (talk) 22:34, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if we're failing to understand what "I'm done with this" means, but it seems so. You may seek a deletion review if you still believe this deletion to be incorrect. My decision stands and that is final (unless overturned by DRV of course), quit spamming my talk page with socks. Further edits to this page on this subject will be reverted.

The Signpost: 05 December 2011

Meow Wars

De;eted. The biggest problem is that the most recent nomination was at "3nd nomination", not "3rd nomination" — I would have checked it if it had been linked by the G4 deletion template, but since it's not set up to look for AFDs called "(3nd nomination)", I had no idea that there was a third nomination.

Question

Hi I want to ask the result of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Personyze please? Usmanwardag (talk) 07:19, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you mean? If you want to know the result, please go read the discussion. If you had a more specific question, please clarify. Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:26, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for responding. Actually the result of the discussion was "keep". Does this mean that the article is approved?Usmanwardag (talk) 07:31, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There's no such thing as "approved", per se. It just means there was not consensus to delete the article. I do note that the original iteration of the article written by you had a strongly promotional tone, which is not acceptable. If you're affiliated with this company, we strongly discourage you from editing the article on it. Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:35, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't really make the article promotional. I just gave Media coverage to ensure that the company is notable. However, later on being informed by one of your editors, I edited the article and made it completely neutral. You can also see that the changes (removal of the most of the part of media coverage) were done by me. I am not related to company at all. But do think that the company is notable after all, as I used its services a couple of months ago. Usmanwardag (talk) 07:39, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Glad to hear it! Citing reliable sources is certainly not itself a bad thing. Just make sure they're unaffiliated with the subject, and filter them down to a neutral tone—especially when it comes to companies, you'll find a lot of "best in class", "industry leader", and marketese junk like that, even in otherwise good sources. Just make sure the tone of the article itself stays neutral and you back it up with sources, and you're golden. Note, though, that it is the significant coverage by reliable sources, not your opinion (or mine, or anyone else's), that ultimately determines the company to be notable as we use the term here. Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:49, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I understand this. Do you still want me to add more reliable sources? Or the current version of the article is fine to stay on wikipedia?Usmanwardag (talk) 07:59, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Up to you, really. If you know of more sources, by all means, if not or you'd rather move on to a different article, someone else will work on it eventually. Seraphimblade Talk to me 14:24, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
