Hi Piandcompany. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I removed the speedy deletion tag on Global Food Security Index, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, under criterion A1, because the article provides sufficient context and thus this tag does not apply. Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers and review the criteria for speedy deletion. Particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion, proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 21:58, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Please note that it is also generally considered in bad form to tag articles with criteria A1 or A3 within minutes of them being created, as many authors are still working on the article during this time. It's generally expected that you wait 10 to 15 minutes before tagging an article with these to allow time for it to develop. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 22:01, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the revision. Due to the way the article was structured, it seemed more like an advertisement than informational. Piandcompany (talk) 22:03, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Help

Please help me to write the article! I don't know how to create tables :( --Gironauni (talk) 23:25, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

A lot of your questions in reguards to style can be answered here, including tables. Piandcompany (talk) 12:00, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

It seems like a lot of work... my time is limited. I just do it for scholarly reasons as unpaid volunteering. --Gironauni (talk) 20:46, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Altered speedy deletion rationale: Celebrity ratings

Hello Piandcompany, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I deleted Celebrity ratings, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided. The speedy deletion criteria are extremely narrow and specific, and the process is more effective if the correct criterion is used. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 14:08, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks :), and I'll look over the docs. DFTBA Piandcompany (talk) 22:34, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

PROD rationale

Just a heads up that I've changed the PROD rationale on How To Take Good College Notes that you added as lists are appropriate for inclusion on Wikipedia (subject to guidelines/policies the same as articles, however). Instead, I've switched the rationale to a failure of WP:NOT, on how-tos and essays. --IShadowed 00:49, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Wikimania 2012

Hey, Piandcompany, thank you for being an amazing Wikimedian and for coming to Wikimania2012 and helping to make it the great success it was! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lisa N Marrs (talk • contribs) 13:16, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Nominating articles for speedy deletion

Please note that in order to nominate something successfully for speedy deletion, you must use the criteria set out here. Wikipedia essays such we WP:NOTRESUME, are not valid reasons for a speedy deletion.

Thank you for tagging though and happy editing! Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 19:55, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Fencing

Hi. I see that you have reverted the fencing page due to vandalism, but you have reverted it to my first undo (sorry, i think i haven't use it correctly and mayby i have cause more bad than good) but i think it would be better to revert it to the version "23:06, 18 August 2012‎ ClueBot NG (talk | contribs)‎ m . . (41,304 bytes)" . And also could be good to block the IP of the vandal 174.89.197.71 , but i don't know if you can do it or how it work. Thanks. --95.20.33.147 (talk) 15:25, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Fixed the location of your talk section. Thanks, but I don't have the authority to block a user. I encourage you though to create an account though. Piandcompany (talk) 15:28, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Me again. I have an account, but i use it very rarely. As i was saying i think it would be better to revert the fencing page to this version "23:06, 18 August 2012‎ ClueBot NG (talk | contribs)‎ m . . (41,304 bytes)" instead of to my first "undo" that was not properly done (there ara still section with things that are not information about fencing or anything related).Thanks. --Estocasticom (talk) 15:42, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Byron Allen

August 2012 --- Hi Piandcompany, I'm sorry you didn't find my update of Byron Allen's wikipedia page constructive. Could you please elaborate further? All the information I put up there was factual and sourced appropriately. Thanks so much. ~Andrew — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.107.112.162 (talk) 20:55, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello Andrew, I reverted your edit as it seemed to have more so taken away from the article (ref. the lead and Early Life sections). The article also has things such as THE TONIGHT SHOW and Emmy® Award which led me to believe you copied the content of your edit from another source. That is why I reverted your edit. I highly recommend you read over the style guide for tips to try to better edit the article. Thanks for editing Wikipedia and feel free to direct questions back to me or join the #wikipedia-en-help channel on Freenode. Piandcompany (talk) 21:03, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

juicy couture

I removed the background section which had no encyclopedic content and if it did have any would be redundant with the history section. Do you really think the section I removed improves the article, come on. It reads like a bad press release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.115.151.15 (talk) 23:15, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Bruce Ratner

What was the uncivil comment?--208.125.29.157 (talk) 01:33, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello 208.125.29.157! I thought that the addition of "The controversial" was an unnecessary addition to the article which made it seem biased. My stance shall stay in place. Piandcompany (talk) 01:37, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

American Gods

Hello as a newcomer to Wikipedia I have been adding to several other pages. While contributing to a page (I always make modifications in small steps) an increasingly annoying comment about a message remarking that Wikipedia has strict guidelines about biographies? Sure this is true to prevent vandalism and derogatory messages but my point is American Gods is a book not even a person. Hmm... Somethings not quite right? But being a bit faulted at having being denied improvements on a page I'm not sure as to whether or not I shall attempt such an endeavour again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.49.223.54 (talk) 02:22, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

In respect to your last revision that was reverted by me, I reverted it as... "This book demonstrates a clear juxtaposition of modern day life and deep seated myths." would be considered to be biased content. And the remaining content really can just be summarized as better by the term oral sex. Personally, I feel my judgement stands in this case. You may be interested in looking at Wikipedia: Editing Piandcompany (talk) 02:28, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Actually sir, the book does have a clear example of juxtaposition, and I'm not sure if you thought it through when saying this as a personal bias. Odin, Loki, etc., some of the best-known deities walking and interacting with the modern world is clearly an example of juxtaposition. Because this book has ancient gods coming into conflict with "new gods" of the modern world. Is that clear enough? Or Mr. Wednesday (a aspect or representation/incarnation/avatar of Odin) engaging in intercourse with several modern day women (whom are in of themselves parts of the new gods of the modern world). Sir I think while your opinion is valued one needs a first-hand experience in the subject matter to be able to intelligently make remarks involving the subjects symbolism.(Also the notice first off about editing biographies was quite frankly wrong and my questions as to the roots of or intent of such references was ignored)

Since I have no background with this book, maybe mention this on the articles talk page so you can get more input from other editors. Piandcompany (talk) 02:40, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

hoax?

why did i see it on July if its a hoax? — Preceding unsigned comment added by OldEdward2012 (talk • contribs) 21:15, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

The reason for adding the template was under WP:NOT, not hoax. Please read the summary before removing. Piandcompany (talk) 21:17, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Why would it be on tv, if it's not notable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by OldEdward2012 (talk • contribs) 21:15, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Please read WP:NOT. Piandcompany (talk) 21:19, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Ment to say WP:Notability. Piandcompany (talk) 21:22, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Again, if it's not notable why was it on tv? What's the matter, is that quesiton too hard for you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by OldEdward2012 (talk • contribs) 21:24, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

I'll quote the policy "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject or its creator. For example, self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, the subject's website, autobiographies, and press releases are not considered independent. Piandcompany (talk) 21:28, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Reverted edit on Innovation Works

Could you please explain the revision to Innovation Works which removed ~15 some references? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Innovation_Works&oldid=525258501

Cyounkins (talk) 05:26, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

The purpose of the revision is that the sources were primary and not from external news sources. Those links would have been better suited for External Links of the page. Piandcompany (talk) 11:38, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

ContinuityBot and WP:Moving files to the Commons

I do not think that uploading superseded images to Commons is a good deal. Could you exclude them? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 09:36, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Examples: [1], [2], etc. Legoktm (talk) 11:19, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

[3] stop your bot from doing this crap. Wikimedia Commons is not a landfill. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:05, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I've temporarily stopped the bot till we can discuss this. I'm not a fan of tagging things that will get moved and eventually deleted for being out of scope or useless to commons. It's probably not ideal to keep them on enwiki, but we shouldn't be moving things to commons unless they want the files, which doesn't seem to be the case here. Legoktm (talk) 11:19, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Morning/Afternoon Incnis and Legoktm, sorry about the template miss, it seems it was never included in the blacklist I received from Sven. I have added it in now to both of the correct spaces for task I and II. I would like to note though, that the files you provided Legoktm don't seem to have those templates. Though I have added in this template, my bot can not scan images to see if they are useless to commons, only templates. If you have a template I can add in, I can look it over and add it. Piandcompany (talk) 14:51, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Which exactly templates do you exclude and how this would prevent flagging unused junk images like File:Equation 1.png? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 15:16, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

This is Blacklist for task I. http://pastebin.com/5KQT3drR Piandcompany - ^chat 15:18, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

By request of Incnis Mrsi, I have added the following templates, Obsolete, PNG version available, Vector Version Available, and Superseded-Image. Piandcompany ^chat 16:13, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! Would it be possible to have those listed somewhere in the bots userspace? Bonus points if the bot can automatically update based on that list ;) Legoktm (talk) 07:44, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Great idea, was thinking of doing this during WM12 but just didn't have the time. I'll look at how difficult this would be today after class. Piandcompany ^chat 11:30, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

File:Articles of Incorporation Self Realization Fellowship Church.pdf

Hello, just need to understand what you want to do? Red Rose 13 (talk) 14:52, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

ContinuityBot flagged your PDF as it was released under the public domain (see directly above the notice posted by ContinuityBot) for transfer to the Wikimedia Commons, a home for such free documents as that one. If you don't want to have the document transferred to Commons, just revert the edit ContinuityBot made and add the tag {{Bots|deny=ContinuityBot}} to the top of the file page. Piandcompany (talk) 14:58, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

It is in public domain so it doesn't matter I suppose if it is in commons. Will it be in both places? Also where exactly will it be placed? Thank you Red Rose 13 (talk) 15:21, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Article WHYA History Deletion Request

Hi,

I edited article "WHYA" on 3/14/2013 to add information about an upcoming format change. At the request of CodComm's general manager, the information was removed within a day. I made the information public pre-maturly in error when the owner of the station wanted to keep it confidential and private until launch. All is currently well, however on a radio message board, a link was posted to a previous "revision" of the page so that the confidential information is being exposed. Do you have admin rights to hide or delete the history of this page from 3/14/2013 onward? This will keep this information private to the general public until the official launch within the next week or two. Thanks.

A question about Rescaled fairuse files

I worked on depopulating Category:Rescaled fairuse files more than 7 days old over the last couple days. In at least one case, and maybe others, I removed the tag, but failed to delete the image. Because there are over 1000, I'm not anxious to manually double-check my work. Per a discussion at User_talk:Sphilbrick#Another_issue, you have a bot which may re-tag those eventually. I see that you have not set up the bot yet. However, I wonder if there is a way to identify a list of files in the category without actually running a bot to re-tag them. I think there should only be a small handful at most, and I could manually fix them. I don't know how to do such a search myself, but guess that you have the expertise.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 21:58, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

I have granted file mover rights to your account following either a request for those rights or a clear need for the ability to move files.

File:Latham-J-C-1919.jpg

Hi, I saw your bot removed the "moved to commons" template with this edit. Is that because of the "KeepLocal" template which is placed on the image page? If so, keeplocal shouldn't prevent the file being moved (actually copied) it should only prevent the file from being deleted on en.wikipedia. Garion96 (talk) 10:51, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you Garion96. I will add this template to ContinuityBot's blacklist for task 2 and the inverse on Task 1. Jason Spriggs ^chat 10:59, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, does that mean that "keeplocal" was the reason of the revert? :) Garion96 (talk) 18:04, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

File on Commons - but where's the link?

In this edit, the bot removes MoveToCommons template claiming that the picture is on commons. Fine - but where is the link to the Commons picture? How are we to verify that? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 18:05, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

The file has yet to have permission verified by OTRS. The OTRS pending template triggered the bot. Jason Spriggs ^chat 01:07, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

That's good, but can we have a different notice/edit summary for this flag triggered event? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:26, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

The current edit summary is "BOT: Removing {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}} either because the file no longer meets the criteria for [[WP:TRANSFER|transfer]] or because the file is already on Commons." The part of "no longer meets the criteria for transfer" sounds sufficient enough for this part. Do you have any suggestions of how to word it better if you feel it needs reworded? Jason Spriggs ^chat 11:31, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

For those cases it should be "BOT: Removing {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}} either because the file no longer meets the criteria for [[WP:TRANSFER|transfer]] due to presence of {{OTRS pending}}." --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:52, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Continuity Bot not recognising FFD keeps

For some reason ContinuintyBot appears to treat FFD keeps as not suitable for Commons,

The tag it's not reviewing correctly seeming to be {{oldffdfull}}.

It would be appreciated if you could add this tag to an exclusion list, so that I don't continually have to re-tag items which are suitable for Commons, only to have Continuity Bot seemingly edit-war with me. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:41, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

"no longer meets the criteria for transfer"

Greetings, Piandcompany. I have a question. When User:ContinuityBot removes {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}} (e.g.), what criteria does it use to determine this? I'm not objecting, just curious. The BRFA is kinda confusing to read through. Thanks, – Quadell ^(talk) 12:10, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

So the way the task is run, it checks to see if the file qualifies for copy to the commons based off of a template list to make sure that say, files that are marked for deletion here or don't fit the license criteria for commons aren't moved over. If it doesn't (Task 2)/does (Task 1), the template is removed/added. Jason Spriggs ^chat 13:22, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Moving a picture to Commons

Hi Piandcompany, I want to use the file “File:Bockris Group At Imperical College, London 1947.png”, in the German Wiki for the article “Superkondensator”. The file comes from the English Wiki. Do you can help me to move the file into Commons? I have no idea, how to arrange this. By the way, with Photoshop I made the original a little bit lighter. Is it possible to move only the lightest one to Commons? Regards --Elcap (talk) 08:11, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Read up on the transfer process here. Jason Spriggs ^chat 13:11, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thanks, did it manuel, it works --Elcap (talk) 09:15, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Problematic tagging by ContinuityBot

Hi Piandcompany, I am not happy to see ContinuityBot tagging files for a transfer to Commons as many of these cases would not survive for long at Commons. I would rather like to see this to be checked individually and in particular I do not think that it is a good idea to tag files with {{bsr}} for a transfer, i.e. files that are already tagged as being problematic and unfit for Commons (as happened here). Misguided transfers to Commons generate a lot of work and frustration on both sides. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 15:41, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for notifiying me about the forgotten template. I have added it to both Task 1 and 2's lists for auto add/remove of the template. The move to commons template will be removed now if ContinuityBot comes across it on a file with the Bsr template. Changes should be reflected by next run cycle of the task. Jason Spriggs ^chat 13:46, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. --AFBorchert (talk) 18:31, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Obsoleted by vector

WT:Files_for_deletion#.22obsoleted_by_vector_version.22

It would be appreciated if Continuity Bot did not detag images marked for Commons transfer merely because they happen to have been replaced by vector versions. Per the reasoning in the thread there is a GOOD reason for their transfer. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:16, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of Sandy Bridge (microprocessor) sub-article

Hi there. I know I'm getting back a little late on this, but I thought it might be sort of helpful to have sub-pages for each of the microarchitecture variants for Sandy Bridge and Haswell with tables that include inter-wiki links for the chips, as there have been for the preceding ones (i. e. Nehalem). Only Sandy Bridge-E, the high end Sandy Bridge, has its own page. To solve the confusion, I would add a disambiguation message. --Azul120 (talk) 16:20, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

An exciting month of wiki events!

Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,
James Hare

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Roslea

Piandcompany a chara,

I just wanted to add in grove for the Irish meaning of Ros Liath as Ros literally means Grove or Promontory with grove being applicable to Roslea.

Thank you for your edit. The reason I reverted it is that the translation of the name in the infobox is not constructive to the article. The edit would be best if the translation was in the body of the article instead of the infobox. Jason Spriggs ^chat 19:37, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I reverted your edit to Tcl as your edit consisting of "Some WAGs have said that Tcl stands for Totally Crap Language" does not have any references, nor defines the term WAG. The edit also appears to just be an opinion. Because of this, I assume as such that the edit is vandalism to the page. If you can substantiate the edit with a reference, feel free to fix it as such.
