[[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal#top|talk]]) 20:25, 16 March 2012 (UTC) == Appeal of Speedy Deletion: The Pledge of the Computing Professional == I'm part of the team of founders behind the organization [[Wikipedia:The Pledge of the Computing Professional|The Pledge of the Computing Professional]], whose new page you recently marked for speedy deletion based on criteria A7 (notability). Can we contest this with you? Admittedly, we're a very new organization, but we've been endorsed by two existing notable organizations and have 15 existing chapters. Details on all of the above are on the "Talk" page of the deleted article, as well as our website [http://computing-professional.org]. Most of us are also fairly inexperienced in the ways of Wikipedia; I'm probably the "most" experienced, but I'm hardly more than a novice myself. We think we objectively qualify for inclusion in Wikipedia. (I didn't see the original article, so I don't know if there were other issues that we didn't address the first time around ...) [[User:Jim Huggins|Jim Huggins]] ([[User talk:Jim Huggins|talk]]) 04:12, 19 March 2012 (UTC) :Hi! First of all (although not a factor in the page's deletion), the page was in the wrong [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]]. It had been submitted under the "Wikipedia:" namespace, which is generally reserved for policies, guidelines, and the administration of Wikipedia. This can be easily rectified by submitting articles without a prefix; however, other problems existed. :The reason I deleted the article was that it did not indicate why "The Pledge of the Computing Professional" was important or significant. Rather, the article merely described the organization, its rites of passage, and a bit of its history. If you want the article to be kept on Wikipedia, you will need to provide [[WP:V|verifiable]], [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] to show that the article passes the [[WP:ORG|notability guidelines for organizations]]. :Lastly, if you would like, I could restore the article to a [[WP:DRAFT|userspace draft]] for you to continue working on or email the contents to you since the article contained nothing blatantly inappropriate like copyright violations, libel, or vandalism. [[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal#top|talk]]) 12:24, 20 March 2012 (UTC) ::We'd be quite grateful if you'd restore it to a userspace draft. I think, with some work, we can bring the article up to Wikipedia's standards. [[User:Jim Huggins|Jim Huggins]] ([[User talk:Jim Huggins|talk]]) 17:06, 21 March 2012 (UTC) :::{{done}} Userspace draft now exists at [[User:Jim Huggins/The Pledge of the Computing Professional]]. Good luck! [[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal#top|talk]]) 17:11, 21 March 2012 (UTC) ::::Many thanks. [[User:Jim Huggins|Jim Huggins]] ([[User talk:Jim Huggins|talk]]) 17:17, 21 March 2012 (UTC) == RE: category removal on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Trayvon_Martin | Shooting_of_Trayvon_Martin] == I saw your removal of the category I placed in the article, and I saw your reason as well. I disagree that the category I placed in violates BLP. The shooters own words back up that this was indeed racially motivated. Yes, he hasn't been charged as such, further we have only his word that it was self defense. So, how about this, I won't replace my category, but self defense has to go as well, as we have only his word on it, and in this case, it can't be considered reliable either. What do you think ? @-[[User:KoshVorlon|Kosh]][[User talk:KoshVorlon|► Talk to the Vorlons]]►[[Special:Contributions/KoshVorlon|Moon Base Alpha]]-@ 16:26, 19 March 2012 (UTC) :I agree with removing [[:Category:Self defense]], since the police / a court would have to decide that this was indeed a self-defense killing. What should we replace it with though—<s>[[:Category:Homicides]]</s>[[:Category:Homicide]]? [[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal#top|talk]]) 16:30, 19 March 2012 (UTC) :: That sounds good. Good idea! @-[[User:KoshVorlon|Kosh]][[User talk:KoshVorlon|► Talk to the Vorlons]]►[[Special:Contributions/KoshVorlon|Moon Base Alpha]]-@ 16:33, 19 March 2012 (UTC) :::{{done}} Actually, I only removed [[:Category:Self-defense]] since [[:Category:Homicide]] was already in the article. Cheers! [[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal#top|talk]]) 16:36, 19 March 2012 (UTC) ==Request for arbitration assistance== Hi, I just want to ask your help in resolving this issue with another editor on the [[Mount Pinatubo]] article. I'm [[User:Briarfallen|Briarfallen]] and a regular editor of said article. The problem is on the second sentence of the lead section about the ''Cabusilan Mountains''. One disruptive editor, ([[User:FromTarlac]]) keeps changing it to ''Tri-Cabusilan Mountain Range'' which is wrong, even though I presented two online references: an online copy of a Geography book and an online topography map of the area from the 1950s by the [[United States Army Corps of Engineers|US Corps of Engineers]]. I thought he did not check my references. In his defense, he says, "he lives near the mountain and that's how they call the mountain range" and he gave two books as references: one is a book and not verifiable online, but the other "Fire and Mud" is also a book but has an [http://pubs.usgs.gov/pinatubo/contents.html online version] from the [[United States Geological Survey|USGS]] website. It is also one of the External links of the Mount Pinatubo article. I checked the website but 'Cabusilan Mountains' was not mentioned. In the Philippines, misinformation is a problem so together with my references, I presented him with the link for [[WP:Verifiability, not truth]] and [[WP:Verifiability]]. On [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mount_Pinatubo&diff=next&oldid=482572538 his last edit] on March 19th, he again changed it to ''Tri-Cabusilan'' but the worse part is that he removed my reference link to the topographic map!!! What kind of editor would do that? Isn't that foul? Please help me on what to do with this other editor. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mount_Pinatubo&action=history History page] of [[Mount Pinatubo]]). Thanks. - [[User:Briarfallen|Briarfallen]] ([[User talk:Briarfallen|talk]]) 03:29, 20 March 2012 (UTC) :Well, the main problem I can see is that neither of you has yet engaged in discussion on the talk page. Try discussing with the other editor, and perhaps reminding him that the burden of proof is not on you to find the sources that disprove you; rather, he needs to find them. [[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal#top|talk]]) 12:57, 21 March 2012 (UTC) == ''The Signpost'': 19 March 2012 == <div style="-moz-column-count:2; -webkit-column-count:2; column-count:2;"> {{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-03-19}} </div> <div class="hlist" style="margin-top:10px; font-size:90%; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> * '''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost|Read this Signpost in full]]''' * [[Wikipedia:Signpost/Single|Single-page]] * [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Subscribe|Unsubscribe]] * [[User:EdwardsBot|EdwardsBot]] ([[User talk:EdwardsBot|talk]]) 14:19, 20 March 2012 (UTC) </div>  == trayvon protection == Thanks for the move protection. Could you also semi protect? There are some anon editors who keep putting in pov content (on both sides of the argument) and putting in unencyclopedic conetent (see the current "facts" section which keeps returning, even though most of that information is already elsewhere in the article). 16:27, 20 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Gaijin42|Gaijin42]] ([[User talk:Gaijin42|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gaijin42|contribs]])  :I really can't semiprotect the article sinceI have been previously involved with its content. Hopefully the tag above will get an uninvolved admin to evaluate. [[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal#top|talk]]) 16:38, 20 March 2012 (UTC) ::And another admin has now semiprotected the page. Cheers! [[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal#top|talk]]) 12:45, 21 March 2012 (UTC) == Removal of Howie's question == Hi... I'm just a random user of Wikipedia, who rarely makes significant edits (I'm on a library computer). I'm not completely sure if removing Howie's question was the right call. I don't see him or her as a troll, just someone unfamiliar to Wikipedia. Many of the answers pointing them in more helpful directions were perfectly appropriate, IMHO. I'm not convinced it would do any real damage to Wikipedia's reputation. The case you linked to (Billy Ego) involved an editor engaged in highly disruptive behaviour. Curious what your fellow admins (or Wikipedians in general) think. We do often get potentially controversial issues discussed on the Reference Desk, and I think caution is called for in removing genuine (if somewhat inappropriate) questions. [[Special:Contributions/119.225.16.46|119.225.16.46]] ([[User talk:119.225.16.46|talk]]) 00:54, 21 March 2012 (UTC) :If there is a policy or guideline which justifies your deletion of the question and responses to it, please cite same on the Ref Desk talk page, rather than just removing the question and some responses to it by respected Wikipedia contributors. This removal of content, and the Arb Com decision you see as justification for it, deserve discussion at the talk page of Ref Desk. Thanks! [[User:Edison|Edison]] ([[User talk:Edison|talk]]) 02:37, 21 March 2012 (UTC) ::Discussion on [[WT:REFDESK]]. [[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal#top|talk]]) 12:45, 21 March 2012 (UTC) == Revdel request == Hi Reaper, I'm contacting you not because you were involved with this issue, but because you are listed in [[CAT:REVDEL]]. Please take a look at {{noredirect|The Barney Bunch}}. Many of the revisions there would fit under CFRD 2 or 3. I realize that most of the attack content targets fictional characters, but there is plenty of mention of real people, living and deceased. I'm not sure if it would be better/easier to selectively revdel those edits, or to speedy it as an attack page. If you decide to revdel it then could you also fully protect it to prevent this vandalism from appearing again at this title? Or if you decide to delete if could you please salt it or recreate it as a protected redirect at your discretion? Thanks. —[[User:Kuyabribri|'''KuyaBriBri''']][[User_Talk:Kuyabribri|''Talk'']] 14:45, 21 March 2012 (UTC) :{{done}} I nuked all the vandalized revisions of the page to stop the random vandals from reverting back to it. Cheers! [[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal#top|talk]]) 15:04, 21 March 2012 (UTC) ::Thanks. Could you fully protect as well? I'm concerned that with the amount of time that content was on the page it may have been picked up by a Wikipedia mirror and therefore will be very easy for someone to copy and paste. —[[User:Kuyabribri|'''KuyaBriBri''']][[User_Talk:Kuyabribri|''Talk'']] 15:15, 21 March 2012 (UTC) :::I semiprotected it. All the vandals were on unconfirmed (and now indefinitely blocked) accounts, and the one autoconfirmed user merely was trying to get the vandalism deleted via [[WP:PROD|PROD]]. [[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal#top|talk]]) 15:19, 21 March 2012 (UTC) ::::Understood.
