The [[Janet Allison]] article has been speedy deleted as a violation of BLP. |
|||
I agree with the article creator that BLP1E is one the most problematic clauses in the wikipedia policies. I have no problem authorizing administrators to take extreme action to remove slanderous material. Truly slanderous material is a genuine emergency. That part of the BLP policy is solid. |
|||
But I question whether the emergency authorization to delete on sight should apply to concerns over "one event" biographies. "One event" biographies are not emergencies. If they are neutrally written, they don't damage anyone. I see no value in allowing them to be deleted on sight. |
|||
Unfortunately, I find, there are some wikipedia contributors who represent themselves as concerned over the subject of articles they represent as BLP1e, whose later comments reveal their initial position was an insincere one, and that they had no concern the subject of the article, and were merely using the BLP1e clause to suppress discussion of a topic they didn't care for -- classic [[WP:IDONTLIKEIT]]. |
|||
IMO the "one event" clauses should be removed from the BLP, and placed in some policy or guideline that does not authorize deletion on sight, without prior warning or discussion. |
|||
I wrote a couple of essays in response to another administrator exceeding reasonable interpretations of what BLP authorized: [[User:Geo Swan/opinions/"False Geber" and what a biography should contain|"False Geber" and what a biography should contain]] and [[User:Geo Swan/The earliest sockpuppet to be unmasked...|The earliest sockpuppet to be unmasked...]]. |
|||
Several years ago one wag claimed that the [[Tony Blair]] article should be deleted, as a BLPe1 violation, and redirected to the [[George W. Bush]] article -- because no one would have ever heard of him if he hadn't supported the Bush war policy. This joke illustrates a serious weakness to the BLP1e interpretations. What is a "one event"? It is not defined and is interpreted in wildly divergent ways depending on the political agenda of the interpreter. |
|||
I know nothing of the Allison case, beyond what is written in the {{tl|afd}}. But it seems to me that she is, at minimum, a 2 event person. (1) Listed as a sexual offender; (2) then profiled in the Economist. |
|||
I suggest that, unless you truly think emergency deletion was justified because the article was irredeemably slanderous, the {{tl|afd}} discussion should run its full course. |

DeleteCan you delete Talk:J Dilla/GA1? It seems to just be vandalism or something along the lines. The article had a GA template on it, but was never placed on WP:GAN it seems plus was never reviewed.--WillC 10:21, 10 August 2009 (UTC) Could you explain this block? I looked through the user's edit history and almost all of it seems to be messing around with the sandbox and/or other testing. Is there some larger context I'm missing?

Hello, You recently deleted List of people from Albany, Western Australia as an expired PROD. Unfortunately, the content from this article had been merged to another location (as stated in the prod nomination) and so the article shouldn't have been deleted. (I have restored it.) When ever a merge is performed, a redirect has to be left behind (along with certain other steps outlined in Help:Merge) to allow for proper attribution. As such, consider this a friendly reminder to read prod nominations (and also check the history) to be sure you aren't deleting something you shouldn't be. (Per the instructions, the deleting admin is supposed to make an independent judgment call about the article's validity.) Thank you and have a nice day, ThaddeusB (talk) 00:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Resignation?So, did you resign as a clerk for sockpuppet investigations? --Mythdon talk • contribs 05:51, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, Mr. COTWHowdy after a long message absence to those of WikiProject Oregon. To answer a common question, no you did not get removed from the COTW notification list, I was just too busy to send out the notification for the last change. So, thank you to all those who helped improve Central Oregon and Mount Jefferson, as well as those who added infoboxes and adopted a governor. For this edition of the COTW, we have partly by request and in honor of the return of college football, Duck football and Beaver football. If you are a fan of neither, maybe go back and work on a governor or add infoboxes this time around. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW.

Process question re arbitration remediesPure curiosity only, so apologies in advance if I end up being one of a stream of people knocking at your door today, but I'm genuinely wondering. I noticed that the remedies in the date delinking case were updated based on the revisions that were passed recently. I'm just wondering if there's a usual way that the case page is updated for something like this? It appears that you overwrote the new remedies on top of the old ones, with the original date and vote totals remaining in place — as a result, without checking the history, it looks as though that were the original remedy. In a different remedy revised earlier, the new remedy was entered with the current date and vote total, and the original remedy was placed into a collapse box. It's probably as simple as different clerks, different approaches, but I guess I was a little surprised there's no defined process for something like this.

Wikipedian of the Day
Congratulations, Tiptoety! For your kindness to others, your hard work around the wiki, and for being a great user, you have been awarded the "Wikipedian of the Day" award for today, August 18, 2009! Keep up the great work!
Note: You could also receive the "Wikipedian of the Week award for this week! If you wish, you can add {{User:Midnight Comet/WOTD/UBX|August 18, 2009}} to your userpage. Happy editing! [midnight comet] [talk] 00:03, 18 August 2009 (UTC) GoramonWell, that was fast. I wasn't even done formatting it before you blocked. Impressive efficiency. JoshuaZ (talk) 01:29, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
UndoI'd be inclined to use the undo feature moreso if there was some form of giving the user more room to type in the edit summary. I find that even with the preferences feature to add 50 characters, undoing edits by IP addresses which can take up to 134 characters of the edit summary (and users with fairly long usernames make hat worse) hinders the purpose of allowing the edit summary to not be automated.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:01, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Though this may be a bit off-topic of a post, at Arbitration Enforcement, you stated that if you weren't "somewhat involved", that you would block both of us yourself. I asked you why you would block Ryulong, but you did not respond. My guess is that you would block me for violating the probation, though no response for that is needed. I am still awaiting an answer about your wish that Ryulong was blocked. Could you please respond? You can either respond here, or at the Arbitration Enforcement request—your choice. Thanks!

BLPI would have left the AfD on Janet Allison run the full time, to get a wider exchange of views and decrease the likelihood of a deletion review. The result may be the same, but there is a case to be made that the subject has a claim to significant international attention and relevance to national policy. . People who would defend the article need a chance to get there. DGG ( talk ) 07:09, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
At last, thank you for PP on this article the vandalism and personal attacks against myself have been ongoing for quiet a while now and it is good that the article is now protected for a while. BigDunc 08:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC) Someting about the block of user:RagusinoGood morning, I would know something more about the block of user Ragusino. I have followed some articles on en.Wikipedia because we have had different vandalism in it.wikipedia (I am sysop of it.wikipedia). Ragusino seemed to have a different vision to that of Direktor but not so bad considering some concerns. The position of Ragusino seemed to be correct and I have asked some justifications in the talk page of Talk:House_of_Kabužić/Caboga because the concerns of Ragusino are also my concerns considering that in the header of page we can read the coat of army of the house (taken from a croatian book) and the name is Caboga and any historical book reports the name of Caboga (which is not the italian name but the dalmatian name and dalmatian was the official language of Republic of Ragusa until XVIII century). Reading at the block of Ragusino I don't understand the justification for his block because the check user has not displayed any "clear" proof for his sockpuppeteer. It seemed to me that a war edit has been in favor of one part instead of investigate in detail the problem. In my opinion the difference of vision should be solved in another way considering that the other part is strongly oriented in a vision not shared by a big part of the historical literature. What I understand is that Ragusino=Cristian.Bilicic but it's only a suspect. I would suggest a more detailed investigation not only by check user side but also a more "neutral" resolution of conflict. Thank you --Ilario (talk) 09:25, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
