Unlinking valid links
[edit]Why did you unlink the valid links to The Times and Western Morning News here? DuncanHill (talk) 01:04, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- I was unlinking them in line with WP:Repeatlinks in the MOS. If you think this was incorrect please let me know why! PanydThe muffin is not subtle 01:10, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- Because you removed them from the refs - someone consulting the ref should not have to use their browser's "find in this page" function to track down a link to the article on the newspaper being used as a reference. The MoS isn't written from the point of view of people who actually consult articles, alas. BTW, no need to use a talkback template, I do have a watchlist!

Nomination of Black Eyed Kids for deletion
[edit]A discussion has begun about whether the article Black Eyed Kids, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Black Eyed Kids (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article..
Speedy deletion nomination of Black Eyed Kids
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Black Eyed Kids, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — Dædαlus Contribs 10:38, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Vic Tandy
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Vic Tandy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
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.

Clarification request
[edit]Regarding Lauren Hodges. The actress herself requested the article be deleted? I have two concerns with this:
- It seems unusual for anyone in the entertainment industry to shy away from what is essentially free publicity.
- There is an editor, User:MR90, who has repeatedly tried to get the article stripped of detail or deleted. The editor has twice been blocked for edit warring and content removal, and may well have created a sock puppet to evade a block. It is not inconceivable that this editor may have faked an OTRS request.
I think you can understand my concern. -- Scjessey (talk) 22:29, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- I completely understand your concerns. I will look into it and get back to you tomorrow. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 22:45, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- I have spoken to the person in question and although I cannot confirm 100% that they are the subject, I am WP:AGF with regards to this one. This means that although I cannot categorically state that they are the person in question, and I will update the AfD to reflect this, I am fairly convinced by the evidence which has been presented to me. If you would like the input of other OTRS members, the ticket number is 2010102610006149 and I would be more than happy to discuss this with them.

Thanks for the good work and excellent sourcing. It's much improved from it's former state as a narrowly focused occult/religious WP:POVFORK. I believe the material is now appropriate to merge into the main Ouija article. - LuckyLouie (talk) 22:50, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Panyd: I appreciate your enthusiastic effort in trying to upgrade this article. Certainly, there has been some improvement in the quality of the piece. However, it still faces the central problem of the article - it's an unneeded fork, as Ouija is not a problematically long article. If there is material of value in there - and there is some, but there is also still some of other kind, pile-on material of any critical mention of Ouija - then it belongs not in its own separate article (which was created seemingly simply to avoid the editors of Ouija, rather than out of legitimate need) but in the main article itself. --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:09, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- Fair enough! If I could get a nice merge out of it I would be happy. Thanking you again. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 00:38, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Panyd. You may want to lend your LexisNexis-like talents to the backlog on WP:FTN, particularly Jack Sarfatti which could use some reliable sources. Cheers, LuckyLouie (talk) 17:56, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing me in that direction! Looks like a lot of fun. I gave the Jack Sarfatti article a once over; using Lexis of course! Hope it helps. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 19:59, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- Re the Times, answered here. Well, I guess Sarfatti is quite controversial (to say the least) : ) so sourcing will have to be carefully evaluated. A good indicator is when multiple reliable sources agree on something. A fact found only in a single source may not be definitive. Thanks for pitching in.

Hi, took a quick look as discussed yesterday and tidied a citation. I see no issue with this one, plenty of independent sources and substantial enough to resist a merge any time soon. It looks like the List of demons has improved since I last looked at it (in fact it's been disambiguated) though I'm not sure that D.C. is a demon. It may be worth adding to List of legendary creatures by type. Cheers, Fæ (talk) 11:00, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit]for the warm welcoming; yet I have to admit that I'am a little puzzled as to the alleged conflict of interest here.

Lastly, I thank you for your offer of proofreading as I am often very prone to typos.
Thanks again
Regards Bryan de Bois Gilbert (talk) 14:18, 16 November 2010 (UTC) Bryan de Bois Gilbert
- Hey there! Firstly, please be assured that it isn't an allegation, it's just a notice that you might have a conflict of interest. That is in no way saying that you do have a conflict of interest, and you have my sincerest apologies is that policy does not apply to you in this instance.
- However, the language that you have inserted into the Maths-Bridge article is what appeared to be non-neutral, and we've had problems with editors with a conflict of interest editing the page before now. The problems specifically relate to the new section which doesn't have anything to do with the subject of the article, and the non-neutral language of your large additions, as well as the use of primary sources in the article, as opposed to reliable secondary sources.
- I would suggest that you read WP:RS before adding any more information as well as have a look at WP:N. Similarly, why not try editing some articles which aren't Maths-Bridge? At the moment you are a WP:SPA, or single-purpose account which is another reason to believe you have a conflict of interest. There are many articles on Wikipedia which could use your assistance and we'd love to have you!
- Similarly, could you please clarify what you mean by 'we' in your response? Happy editing. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 14:29, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- First things first: When I said 'we' would deliberate, I was refering to you and me; as you know I am new to all of this and thus was really believing, your friendly words and the offered help would be more than platitudes.
- Secondly, you can keep the sarcasm out of this, it is not polite. We had one conversation and you are already comparing me with other users of this page and more sadly with other user, who edited the same page I edited.
- Thirdly, calling the European Union an unreliable source is somehow strange. We are talking an still ongoing non-profit project financed by the EU to help upcoming students close their gaps in the field of maths and thus maby entitle them to a better future. I think every student in all of Europe who is planning on studying something that involves lots of math should know about this project and beef himself up.
- Let us talk content. The new section I inserted, which has supposedly nothing to do with the subject, is in my opion the most important one, as it builds the premise as to why the project was started in the first place. Many drop-out, low level of knowledge leads to a pan-european program to make things better. As to non-neutral language: I'am describing socio-economic conditions as you would find them in many books on the subject, state a social fact which I backed up with the help of Eurostat and came to an inference to which I was about to add some more sources to back my point. It was an absolut valid deductive process without using words like catastrophic or so forth which contain value additions. So, I don't really see the problem here of non-neutral.
- I will edit a lot more articles, but as the old saying goes "Finish what you start, than move on".
- Look, I now get why you thought what ever it is you thought I was. So, let's start over new; cultivate a better understanding and a better tone of conversation in the future. Once again thanks for your (this time not quite as friendly) advice.
Regards Bryan de Bois Gilbert (talk) 15:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC) Bryan de Bois Gilbert
- Sarcasm was not meant in my response in any way, shape of form and if any offense has been caused it was not intended. I sincerely meant what I said, including happy editing.
- I wasn't referring to the EU when I mentioned about the sources which do not meet WP:RS, I was very specifically referring to the use of the maths-bridge website as a source as you have done in the Project Goals section.
- I fully agree that the section you added has merit in giving context to the article but I think that this could be severely shortened, perhaps even down to one sentence, and that a section about an issue which is very complex and boderlines on WP:OR is not something we should be doing.
- I would suggest that we move this discussion to the article's talk page, as this way more people will be able to access it and weigh in on the article itself.
- One more note, I appreciate that you wish to finish what you have started before moving on to other projects, however, please do, as sentences such as: I think every student in all of Europe who is planning on studying something that involves lots of math should know about this project and beef himself up. - represent deep feelings regarding the subject and once again I must stress that if you have a COI (even as a fan of the project) this will intefer in your ability to be neutral, it's just human nature.
- And please read WP:AGF. I hope I have assumed good faith of you, I would ask that you please do the same of me. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 15:23, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello! :) I saw you had made edits recently to John Travolta page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Travolta. I found something else that needs a correction on the page and I also wanted to make some suggestions for additions based on research:
What is listed on John Travolta's wiki page under "Singles": "Can't Let You Go" (1975)
Suggested change: "Can't Let You Go" (1977)
See link to album for confirmation: http://www.discogs.com/John-Travolta-Cant-Let-You-Go/master/153534
Suggested ADDITIONS to Singles section: "Take A Chance" (1983) #3 (duet with Olivia Newton-John) "Take A Chance" was a duet John Travolta recorded with Olivia Newton-John from Two Of A Kind http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia_Newton-John_discography http://www.billboard.com/album/olivia-newton-john/two-of-a-kind/92960#/album/olivia-newton-john/two-of-a-kind/92960
"Two Sleepy People" (1997) (duet w/Carly Simon)

I am new to Wikipedia and learning as I go. Thank you! Angilosi (talk) 01:14, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
- I think that's great that you've found all of that information! However, I suggest that you take a chance and WP:BEBOLD and edit it yourself! If you need any help with this just let me know and I'll be happy to assist. If you get it wrong don't worry! That's what the revert button is for.

Thank you! Ok :) for some reason I thought I couldn't because it is semi protected page. Angilosi (talk) 01:25, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Contribution
[edit]Hey Panyd. Could you take a look at Wikipedia:Contribution_Team/Backlogs? We're trying to make a big effort to reduce these for the rest of the month. Thanks! ⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 20:59, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
RFA
[edit]WereSpielChequers would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact WereSpielChequers to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Panyd 2. If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so. |
Thanks for the Email. ϢereSpielChequers 12:52, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
- was this ready to go up? A user transcluded your RFA and it wasn't clear that they were acting on your behalf. Usually the candidate or the nominator transcludes a RFA (and does it properly too :-) ). I have undone the listing in case it wasn't ready but please feel free to revert me if I misread the situation. Spartaz Humbug! 18:57, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
(edit conflict)Panyd, your RFA has been transcluded to the active list with no indication that this was actually what you intended. Should I undo it so you have more time to work on it, or are you ready now? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:58, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
- Lol, I just undid it so I don't know if this is moot. Spartaz Humbug! 18:59, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
- I am definitely not ready yet! Still working on it. I will be soon though. Thank you guys for reverting it for me! PanydThe muffin is not subtle 19:00, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors! Thank you for inviting us to participate in the Great Backlog Drive. I am pleased to let you know that the Guild has decided to support what we consider to be a very worthwhile project. On behalf of the Guild, I wish you all the very best with the drive.

Hacket draft
[edit]Hello there. I have just come across your William Hacket draft. How's it going? My interest right now is in John Udall (Puritan) which I created yesterday, given that there were some links between the Coppinger-Arthington-Hacket group and Udall's imprisonment. In fact Udall was appealing in 1591, and some sources say that the Hacket incident made it harder for Udall to make the case for his release. Charles Matthews (talk) 07:07, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- I was actually hoping to get my Hacket piece up to GA standard (which might be a little ambitious but hey!) so it's going a little slowly. There are at least two articles written on the man which could qualify as books in their own right. Anything you could send my way would be really appreciated though. It's such an involved yet insane plot! PanydThe muffin is not subtle 07:31, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- You've decided to keep it as a draft in user space until it's GA? Not my way of working of course, but that still seems to be a slow way to develop an encyclopedia ... I've currently got sidetracked by Calais, and I shall probably go back to Wikisource shortly for much of my time. Charles Matthews (talk) 19:54, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
Beat the 'crat congrats!
[edit]It's only a few minutes now, so I doubt I'll jinx you by being the first. Over 100 supports and no (as yet) opposes! Very well done indeed... may your adminship be as smooth as your Rfa. Best wishes, always! Jusdafax 17:58, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
Now there's something you don't see every day
[edit]...103 in unanimous support. It's been a long time since we had a WP:100 RfA without a single oppose. Congratulations and welcome to hellthe team! I'm sure you'll do a great job, but don't hesitate to ask if you need a hand. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:42, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations and thanks for the personal message. In response to it, my comment meant to express support of the principle on which Sandstein opposed, rather than expressing me feeling unable to oppose, which I had no desire to do. My wording may not have clearly expressed that. In any sense, I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that you'll do well, nor have I any fears about your adminship. Your whole RfA expressed that there's no need to. As I said, if one more support would have made a difference I would have gladly given it. Expressing a concern that I had was simply more important to me than uselessly piling on. Best regards, Swarm X 23:20, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
