I have done a good deal of research, and written and created the new article, Mission: Earth, Voyage to the Home Planet. Can you now please remove Mission Earth from WP:Requested moves? Thank you, -- Cirt (talk) 19:43, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That looks like an excellent piece of work, especially for something that I know was worked up quite quickly. Nonetheless, I tend to think that Hubbard's sprawling whatchamacallit is the best-known use of the title. If nobody else has bothered to agree with me after another day or so, I'm willing to withdraw, but I'd to see whether others have a strong opinion on this first. I know that we both do have strong opinions, and Anthony Appleyard's comment doesn't have much depth to it, so it would be nice if the community had something to say on the matter. If there's no other opinion offered today, then I would be willing to withdraw, but not yet. — Gavia immer 20:02, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. And thank you for your kind words about my recent research and writing efforts. That is most appreciated. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 20:05, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jester

[edit]

Could you explain why you moved Narrenfreiheit to Jester's privelege (spelling?) instead of Jester's privilege, which already existed ? I'm not aware of the spelling "privelege". SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:26, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware of that spelling either, but evidently my fingers are. My mistake, entirely. Nonetheless, we do not need a one-line article on the German-language term "Narrenfreiheit", as I hope you would agree. I see you have already fixed the problem, so I guess that's that. — Gavia immer 04:37, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's all set now, except for expansion of the article-- which could be fun! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:39, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the fact is that I'm as shocked as you are that we have nothing on this topic other than the material at hand. — Gavia immer 04:41, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re:New Steven Brust image

[edit]

I can understand that mentality, but when the creator is a noted artist in their own right, I think their identity is sometimes worth mentioning.

ANSI/VITA_40-2003

[edit]

I'm looking at ANSI/VITA_40-2003, trying to confirm the copyright problem. While I can see some problematic phrases in the Abstract, they could be fixed.

The main material reads as it was a straight copy and paste, but I'm not seeing the source. Can you help me out?--SPhilbrickT 01:05, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see if I can find another publicly accessible page with more of the text on it, but it may take a minute - just replying so that you know I've seen this. In any case, it's plain enough to me that our article is just a text dump from the standard that this website sells for $50, probably done by an employee or associate of the website itself. — Gavia immer 01:23, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Update: this 2002 draft of the 2003 standard shares substantial language with the ANSI/VITA_40-2003 article. Presumably both of those have the text in common with the actual standard, which is not published under a free license. I'll look for a copy of the published standard, but it's probable that any such copy is itself a copyright violation. — Gavia immer 01:31, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that looks good enough for me.--SPhilbrickT 01:35, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I hope you don't mind that I'm being ultra-cautious, when I read the article it was clearly a copy, but this is my first delete (not counting user requested), and I'd hate to start with a blunder.--SPhilbrickT 01:43, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You're fine. I actually should have looked more closely at the URL I gave in the first place - I check copyright violations by searching for random distinctive phrases, and when I found that text on the publisher's website I didn't check closely enough to realize that my randomly-chosen phrase was just about the only matching text. That's what I get for half-assing it. — Gavia immer 01:47, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greek insults

File deletion

[edit]

Hey, about deleting the file File:Sade.jpg, I'm unsure what copyright tag to use. I'm sort of new here, so do you think you can help me find the right tag before deleting the photo? Thanks.--Dolphin Jedi (talk) 03:00, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Image use policy, but the short answer is that there is no "right tag". You may not claim images found on some random website as your own work. Moreover, Wikipedia cannot use copyrighted non-free images of living people, even under a claim of fair use. Please don't upload such images again. — Gavia immer 03:06, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, I see that you've already been through this with regard to File:Sade-pinkvest.jpg [3]. Again, don't do that. — Gavia immer 03:12, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Then what is an acceptable source for free images of living celebrities? Again, since I'm a relative newbie here, I'm unsure how to do all of this.--Dolphin Jedi (talk) 23:38, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There are a few ways to obtain such images:
  1. Take a picture yourself. Quite a large number of our images of people were obtained this way.
  2. Find a picture that is explicitly labeled as being under the CC-BY-SA-3 license, or under a similar free license. Most images found on the web are not. Flickr allows creators to license their images this way, and you can sometimes find images of particular people there under an appropriate license. Note: most images in Flickr are not under free licenses, just as most images found on the web do not have free licenses. You will need to show proof that the image was licensed appropriately.
  3. Convince the copyright holder of an image to release it under a free license. The copyright holder is generally the person who took the picture, and not the person pictured. Again, if you do this you will have to provide proof that the image was released under a free license.
If all of the preceding look difficult, or if they seem to have unnecessary steps that you would rather skip, then I suggest a fourth option: don't upload images. Uploading images with incorrect attribution or copyright terms, or uploading images under a claim of fair use when we can't use them under a claim of fair use, are very serious matters, because any misuse of copyrighted material represents the possibility of legal action against Wikipedia. Moreover, misuse of non-free material threatens our mission to be a free encyclopedia. It is not an area to look for shortcuts or easy methods. Your collages of free material appear to be quite useful; if those were the only images that you contributed to Wikipedia, you would be improving the encyclopedia far beyond what you can accomplish by uploading images found in a web search. — Gavia immer 00:04, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Islamic views

[edit]

When you merged them you forgot to bring over the categories. Also I'm not sure that Ishmael and Isaac should have been merged without some sort of discussion first. When Someone65 and Imadjafar were discussing the various articles neither one had any problem with Islamic prophets mentioned in the Qur'an having their own articles. Balaam and Hagar are a bit different as they are not in the Qur'an and Balaam was newly created and Hagar recently expanded. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 02:24, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there CambridgeBayWeather. Sorry I didn't respond sooner; you caught me while I was occupied with some real-life business. I can add the categories if that's desirable, but I chose not as a part of doing a minimal merge. That's easy enough to change (added later: I see you already added the categories). As far as which ones should be merged, I have gone solely by word count - if the main article and the "Islamic views" article are both lengthy, I don't see a need to merge them, but for topics where a merged article would be of a reasonable size, it's much better for neutrality purposes to have them under a single roof. I also have purposely avoided the articles where a deletion discussion is still open, so as not to make issues beyond those already present. If you have a specific article in mind that you feel I should avoid merging, I'm willing to listen to that as well, though by word count standards the Ishmael and Isaac mergers seem fine to me.
As a side point, I have essentially no opinion on particular content, except a preference for better writing and secondary sources. If the previously mentioned editors, or any other editor, wishes to edit the merged sections, they can do so without expecting interference from me. — Gavia immer 02:58, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
30 minutes isn't much time at all. After thinking about it overnight I don't think that it's really much of a problem having them merged together. It reminded me that I intended to stay out of content issues with Islamic article and stick to cleaning them up. Though over the last few days that has been a bit more difficult. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 14:08, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merging

[edit]

Please don't merge the articles dealing with prophets! It is fine if articles are merged which are not prophets. But please revert the merging of Job, Ishmael and Jonah.--Imadjafar (talk) 18:36, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Imadjafar. As I mentioned above, I merged articles based solely on word count, not on any theological consideration. In general, in order to ensure neutrality, all of the religious perspectives on a particular religious figure should be in one article. Where an article is quite long, it is acceptable to split it, and so I did not merge any articles that would have had to be split again, but the shorter ones ought to be all together in one article. Please feel free to add any material to the merged articles that you feel is missing, including material that I trimmed in the merge. As I say, I did not perform the mergers along any particular theological lines, and so I have no theological perspective on what ought to be in the merged articles. I do feel strongly that neutrality ought to be respected, however, and the merging was done with that in mind. — Gavia immer 19:53, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point and I actually feel it is better, may I copy the information of Islamic view of Elijah and Islamic view of Elisha onto Elijah and Elisha, and may the original pages be removed, because I wan't to merge those two as well.--Imadjafar (talk) 07:26, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't object to either merge. At the time, because I was working on multiple merges, I did not wish to take the extra time needed to merge the longer articles, but if you can make it work then I support this idea for the same reason I wished to merge the others. — Gavia immer 07:33, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

[edit]

I see you have undone my rather brutishly executed page move. Well, thanks for that, to be honest I didn't really know how to correctly move whole pages as I haven't done that before. Thanks for that I guess. --Raubfreundschaft (talk) 23:00, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please don't move pages the way you did before; it loses the page history, and we need the page history in order to comply with our own license. I see that you've opened up a move discussion now, which is the right way to do it - but even an undiscussed bold move using the "Move" tab is better than cutting and pasting. — Gavia immer 23:21, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed. After reading the article on page moves, I tried to move the page, but quite frankly that didn't work, so I thought a move discussion would be a good idea. This also solves the issue of consensus, as what I tried to do was "reverting" a previous move that lacked any consensus. --Raubfreundschaft (talk) 03:10, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There's a long, long history of disputation around the topic of the Nanking Massacre on Wikipedia, so you're right that any big change needs consensus behind it before it is done. I haven't looked at this closely enough to see if you're right, but I have enough of an opinion on what is correct here that I will probably comment in the discussion later. — Gavia immer 03:15, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bach cantata move

[edit]

You moved a Bach cantata. Yes, you are right, the BWV # is not part of the title, but please respect that the project Classical music decided after long discussions to add the BWV # to the first line of EACH cantata to avoid disambigation needs. The titles can be seen in the template Bach cantata, and no title should be changed, or it will not show correctly in the template. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:01, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That seems like a really terrible idea with a really terrible justification, and in any case it violates our naming conventions. If some WikiProject is going to insist on edit warring over such things, then I will not revert lest I be participating in an edit war - which state of affairs you should carefully distinguish from my believing that the present title is defensible. By the way, do you have a list of the articles that the WikiProject has decided to place at the wrong title?

Red-winged Blackbird

[edit]

while undoing someone else's revision, you (inadvertently, I hope) undid my revision. I feel it is timely and pertinent and have added it back in. I am of course willing to discuss its presence — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jehan60188 (talk • contribs) 22:58, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was not inadvertent. Firstly, material about a specific incident does not belong in the article, because it is not relevant to the description of the species that the article properly focuses on. At most, this would be appropriate for a separate article on the incident. Secondly, there probably shouldn't be a separate article on the incident. There's a bunch of "hey, some birds died" stuff running around the Internet right now, but there's no evidence that there's anything to it, or that the incident is notable. Thirdly, even in a separate article on the incident, your material would represent undue weight on a fringe theory, especially since it uses an unreliable source and states baldly that conclusions from that source are true. Please see Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:NPOV, and Wikipedia:No original research, and don't readd the material without much better sourcing. — Gavia immer 23:06, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a coordinated campaign by that website, or the group behind it, to claim one of their members as the most-photographed person on Wikipedia. Did you notice that all the images came from the same camera? (look at the extended details -- spot-checking, they were all the same) The IPs were coming from a lot of locations; one on Spanish wiki was from Venezuela -- but they're all adding the same pictures. You can actually get the person's name from the website (see the picture credits). Antandrus (talk) 01:04, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that's pretty much what I think as well, though I hadn't done quite as much digging for details.

cropped images

[edit]

Hello,


I have never contacted anyone through Wikipedia before.

I hope this works.

My name is David Horvitz. I recently did a road trip up the entire California coast with the hopes of putting up images of California's beaches onto Wikipedia that didn't already have photos up (I also put some ones up on pages that did have photos up too).

It seems I did something wrong and they were all taken down.

Oh well.

Anyways, I saw that you had cropped some of them so that the figure wasn't in the photo. I tried to look for these but it seems they have been deleted.

If it is possible, can you email me the files of these? If it is OK w/ you, I want to post these cropped images to a blog. I guess, they are my images, but since you did the cropping, I wanted to ask you first.

The blog is going to show the images I took, and talk about how they were removed, and show different examples of what happened, including showing your crops. It's more sociological than commentary, so don't worry.....

My email is hikarusaru@gmail.com

It kind of sucks that I drove 3000 miles to make photos of small beaches and they are all gone, but oh well!

I agree that most of these so-called "inclusionists" will talk about fixing up the article and then never touch it again, but I thought maybe we could work together to make it more encyclopedic. Thanks!--Yaksar (let's chat) 01:24, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I plan to take another swipe at the list after this discussion closes. The sad thing is that my comment is now followed by a "Keep because I'll fix it" comment. Oh well. — Gavia immer 01:53, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Want to start a discussion on the page about making a move to Suicide in Fiction?--Yaksar (let's chat) 21:57, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I actually did a bold move, but it got reverted. If you want to start a move discussion, I'll certainly support it. — Gavia immer 22:12, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done.--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:16, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Shit (Angel)

[edit]

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Shit (Angel), to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Gavia immer 06:13, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Hocevar

[edit]

Why would an image of Sam Hocevar working at a Debian booth be worse/less useful than an image of his face as he sits in his bathroom?

Also, why is adminship trivial, especially if being a Wikimedia board member is not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NPrice (talk • contribs) 01:20, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia adminship is trivial, in a way that sitting on the Board is not, because it's much easier and more common, and doesn't mean very much. As to the images, the one I reverted to is not great, but the one you added has lousy composition and lacks detail. If you want to add it to the article, at least don't remove a better image when you do so. — Gavia immer 01:29, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The image I'm using is an image of him performing an official function as a spokesperson of Debian, and is more relevant than whatever "function" he's performing with that face in his bathroom, and thus I think it makes more sense in the article. As for adminship being trivial, plenty of Wikipedia administrators with their own articles have a blurb mentioning that they're admins. Heck, your userpage has a box saying that you are an editor. nprice (talk) 01:34, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to Protest the Deletion of Antenarrative as being the initiative of a competitor named Dave Snowden

[edit]

Dear Gavia immer: 


I have read through the rules for deletion of web pages on Wikipedia.

I believe that competing storytelling hosts of pages on Wikipedia have conspired to delete my page, and I hope you are an unwitting participant in this. I therefore introduce the following in evidence, and ask you reconsider

I also traced the history. The initial call for deletion was made by Dave Snowden:

"Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 14:39, 29 January 2011 (UTC) • * Delete - Agree with Snowded. -- Joaquin008 (talk) 15:48, 29 January 2011 (UTC)"

A colleague did an IP search and 'Snowded' is in fact Dave Snowden.

I believe this deletion initiative to be an act of retaliation by a colleague who is attempting to exorcise competing conceptions of storytelling, of which 'antenarrative' is an established domain. It is retaliation for a review of Snowden's work that I published in a top-tier academic journal.

See -- Boje, D. M. 2006d. The Dark Side of Knowledge Reengineering Meets Narrative/Story. Organization: The Critical Journal of Organization, Theory and Society. Vol. 13, No. 5, 739-745 http://business.nmsu.edu/~dboje/690/papers/Knowledge_Reengineering_Review_Boje.pdf

Boje's Critique of Snowden's chapter in an academic journal publication Snowden's objection to the 'antenarrative page' is expressed as follows: "* Delete per nomination, without third party evidence of use/adoption and some balancing criticism this reads like a promotional piece; other related articles look to be extracts from Boje. Full disclosure, I know of Boje's work and am involved in the field of organisational narrative. --Snowded TALK 07:18, 29 January 2011 (UTC)"

The page was not backed up, but as I recall, it was indeed backed up by third party evidence, i.e. the published theory and empirical articles on the topic of antenarrative:

Response

[edit]

I didn't propose the deletion of the article. I supported its deletion for the reasons given by the nominator and declared the fact that I knew Boje at the time although strictly I didn't need to but Boje's sensitivities are know to those of us in the field so I was careful. My identity is also public so I am not sure about why an IP check was needed or if it is proper for someone to do so - is the colleague a checkuser? For the record I don't regard Boje as a competitor. He has some interesting material which many of us in the field reference from time to time but I am not aware of competing with him in academic or commercial circles, nor do I think it likely that it would happen in the future. --Snowded TALK 19:05, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

plese stop deleting antenarrative scholarship

[edit]

Gavia

You seem to be working in league with Dave Snowden to remove all things Antenarrative from the Wikipedia

This is quite narrow minded, in that there is a goodly amount of published work, that is not authored by me in top-tier journals around the world.

Why are you doing this?

Nomination of Daniel Hernandez Jr. for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Daniel Hernandez Jr. is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel Hernandez Jr. until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:55, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal

[edit]

I ask why you are even don't trying to talk with me constructively, while acting with templates like soulless robot? I really think that instead of luring users here only to be banned later, you should somewhere put notice that Wikipedia is dedicated site NOT for original researchers and point them where they can express original research, for example in Wikinfo - supplement to Wikipedia for original researchers. I propose following or similar message: 

About Wikipedia
Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit effectively without original research, as long as anyone
is at least administrator. People lesser than administrators can be often subject to reverts and bans, so let's
they edit Wikinfo (Wikipedia fork which allows original research) instead, which can be edited effectively,
even by newbie original researchers.

Please at least be sincere and truthful in introduction to Wikipedia, otherwise you are acting like promoting of site useful for wasting time of original researchers while they can express themselves elsewhere. Thanks for understanding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.178.243.7 (talk) 12:33, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Park Ji-Young

[edit]

The article Park Ji-Young has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. joe deckertalk to me 17:01, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Completely new abortion proposal and mediation

[edit]

In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

To avoid accusations that this posting violates WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page. HuskyHuskie (talk) 19:51, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

((lang)) and ((cat handler))

[edit]

Hello Gavia immer. I created the {{cat handler}} template. Today I noticed that a year ago you were involved in trying to deploy {{cat handler}} in the {{lang}} template, but that it didn't work. After some testing and staring at all versions of the code I finally found the error: {{cat handler}} was not the problem, instead you guys placed the ending brackets in the wrong place. The discussion at {{lang}} has already been archived, but for future reference I left a message in the archive explaining what went wrong. See Template talk:Lang/Archive 2#Change categorization method.

By the way, I love your comment that the code of {{cat handler}} is frightening. I agree, that template is extremely complex.

Proposed deletion of Thomas Merton (disambiguation)

[edit]
Notice

The article Thomas Merton (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No need for a disambiguation page as there are only two topics (i.e. people) known by this name. All the other articles currently linked here should not be per WP:PTM.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 11:35, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
