Michael Hammer and James A. Champy

[edit]

Hi, you voted 'delete, here and here. Could you have a look at those pages for my response and the articles (after my edits to improve them) to reconsider your nomination? Both of them are well-established authors in their fields and sold more than a million books individually, so they are notable, according to the norms of Wikipedia. btw, I am under some time constraints and cannot research right now to improve James A. Champy to the same level as Michael Hammer, but I'd get around to it soon, in case it is not deleted ;) TIA, --Gurubrahma 18:12, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your support of my RfA

Thank you for your support of my successful request for adminship. I am honoured that the nomination was supported unanimously and that the community expressed confidence that I would use the tools wisely. If you have any concerns please let me know on my talk page.

Thank you!
Thank you for your support in my recent RFA. It passed 53/1/2 and I am now an administrator. I appreciate that some of you made exceptions to your usual requirements re length of service and so on because we've interracted positively in the past, or because of my credentials, so I will endeavour to use my new mop cautiously. I'm always open to feedback and gently constructive criticism. If you're not an admin and need some assistance do of course please let me know. Thanks again --kingboyk 00:23, 6 March 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to vote for me in my recent request for adminship It ended with a final score of (40/10/5). I value all of the contributions made during the process and I will take a special note of the constructive criticism regarding interacting with users in the user talk space.

Re: your question on My RFA

[edit]

Myles, can you please explain your relatively low (121) number of Wikipedia space edits (about 2.5%)? Thanks for your question. My Wikipedia space edit count should increase as I continue to work with Wikipedia. It has increased lately, and I anticipate it continuing to do so. Thanks again for the question. --Myles Long 01:50, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Main trouble at the moment is around the MUSU and McVeigh articles with DarrenRay, 2006BC and AChan ganging up to push POV through the articles. The first two are litigants in the MUSU liquidation so obviously have an agenda, while the third professes to be a friend of DarrenRay. Garglebutt / (talk) 05:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Thanks for the invite "Have your say". Re. "Vanity":Beck may not be Balzac, who you'll remember owned his own printing press, but his readers seem to endorse if their comments at various on-line booksellers are to be believed. American Library Association interview appears to me more impartial source than much consumer media publicity generated by commercial interest groups. National Union of Journalists' award supports credentials for a book with journalist protagonists. Re: editor with it's "Different" with it's implied question mark comment. Check Gerald Bull entry and then see if his science has been developed much since his death or taken up in fiction. As for the editor's comment "Malundi also keeps removing tags requesting cleanup", sorry, but that was only once, and only after I supplied the request for a citation. By all means clean up, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Please have another look and see if the evidence suggests support for nomination. Malundi 8 March 2006

Warren Tartaglia

[edit]

The article on Warren Tartaglia is not a hoax. Biographical information can be found on him at Moorish Orthodox Church sites. The article is based on person interviews with his family, friends, and articles from the New York Times and the Moorish Science Monitor. So how can it be a hoax?--Muhammed al-Ahari 05:55, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • OK, I've had a look around. It isn't a hoax. It just looked rather dubious and messy, but a google search shows he is real. I'm sorry if it seems a bit heavy handed, but we like to be careful so that nonsense doesn't sneak through , so the tag was placed there to see bring attention to it so other people (third parties) can clarify the issue.

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:52, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AFL teams overseas

[edit]

Thanks for your message. I agree that the North Carolina Tigers vote should be seen as a precedent. However, you might be wise to post on something on the AFL Wikiproject and the Australian Wikipedians noticeboard about it. Capitalistroadster 02:04, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aussie Rules outside Australia

[edit]

Regarding merging aussie rules clubs into their component leagues pages: well, it's up to you guys. If you want, someone can make the rule one page per country covering domestic history and one for the national team (if it exists).

Thanks for your Keep vote - Bhai Makhan Shah

[edit]

Hi,

Many thanks for your very positive and constructive comments. I will start making changes as soon as I have fought off the vultures!! --Hari Singh 06:28, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blnguyen, thanks for your vote to keep this article and your kind words – and as you said correctly, Bhai Makhan Shah is an important person in Sikh history. That is why I think that the initial reaction by the "moderators" was wrong – A little more consideration need to given to the value of the article rather than the contents, which can be easily amended. It is as if we asked for article on PM Tony Blair to be deleted because you do not agree with the style of the contents. To me that does not make any sense. The correct route would be to ask for a 'cleanup' of the article and not to delete it.
  • I have no idea of who these various people who voted and left comments are. I have only judged them by what they have said in reaction to things that I have posted on the site. You may be totally right about them. But my judgement is based entirely on this one incident which, in my opinion was initially tackled incorrectly.

I also totally accept what you say about the workload and everyone's daily commitment to people and things that we love – You are completely right about that. Also the fact that you get huge amounts of total rubbish – As an administrator on Sikhiwiki we too face a tiny bit of that. I sympathise with you guys because the volume sound out-of-this-world. I am on your side with this. However, the only thing I ask is that we should all act

Righteously – we may have to act in haste but we must not act in error or be responsible for an injustice of any kind to anyone!
In a war, you may have to kill hundreds of your enemy, but if you kill one of your own, that is not right - Is it?
I agree with you that this is a debate and things have gone the right way in the end. But the initial reaction was totally wrong and some of the remarks made were blatantly incorrect and unsustainable. - "… a fictional story", "smells of original research or a school project", "the text is a Sikh story taken from this website", "WP:NOT a book publisher", etc are comments which to me are meaningless; give no idea to the author of what steps to take and of no real value at all.
Many thanks for your time and I hope you have a great time in sunny Australia. --Hari Singh 04:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I write to thank and commend you for your thoughtful response to the Shah AfD and for your appropriate suggestions to the article's creator on his talk page, which suggestions I have echoed there. I thought I ought to leave a message here lest my comments on the AfD page should prove insufficient to establish that never was my nomination driven by religious or personal animus; I think you will well understand the reasons for which I nominated the article for deletion (and for which sundry other posters ostensibly thought the article to merit deletion), as well as the reasons for which I readily recognize that tagging the article for sourcing, Wikifying, and cleanup might be better. In any case, these sorts of discussions are what AfD is for, I think; just yesterday, I wrote to defend an AfD on which I had voted keep against a suggestion that the nomination was vandalism per se, and I think my words may now apply to me as well.

Caulfield Grammar alumni

[edit]

Have you got references for this edit? I'm 99.9% sure that Phillipousis and Klim both went to Wesley College, Melbourne. This is what is written both at the school's article and on Associated Public Schools of Victoria. I'd like to hear your reply. Thanks. Harro5 07:16, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry Harro5. I got a bit confused/forgetful. One of my old schoolmates went to Wesley College for a while and told me about it, but I got the schools mixed up. I've been around I while so I hope you'll trust that it wasn't a purposefully mischievous edit.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 07:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, I know you're one of our best Melbourne-based editors, and I was just making sure I hadn't missed picking up that Klim is one of ours (Caulfield's, that is). Anyway, thanks for straightening that one up. I'll go back to processing the results from the Our Games onto the various pages. See you round! Harro5 07:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks. I've been a lifelong Adelaidean actually. My schoolmate went to Melbourne for a stint and then returned. It's just that I've stuck a whole pile of council and LGA templates all over all of the WP:MELB suburbs because they were missing (in line with Adelaide and Sydney). I'll get back to updating the Aussie swim bios with their cg results. Cheers, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 07:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi aeropagitica. I nominated the article and am not an admin yet (did that surprise you?), so I cannot see the deleted versions - note that it was deleted in February. If it is basically the same content, then you, as an administrator (I voted for you) can speedy delete it for me, otherwise it will stand for 5 days before it gets pulled.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 07:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Cyber_Nations Previously deleted version AfD'ed on February 4. This version contains even less information than previous article, so CSD4 condition obtains. I'll be brave and tag as such now.  (aeropagitica)  07:27, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to archive this Talk page. 63kb is almost twice-as-long as the recommended file size.  (aeropagitica) 

Re: Admin offer

[edit]

Thanks for the offer! With my recent edits focusing more on the project namespace, I now feel confident in taking up the responsibility. I am slightly against self-nomming however, which was why I didn't do it myself. Unless you know at least one other person has belief in you, then you shouldn't try it I reckon.

Btw, I've noticed you support India in cricket and are part of the Indian Cinema project. On your userpage you mentioned that you have no connection to India. I am just curious, then how did you become interested in the great nation? GizzaChat © 07:47, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just noticing, currently the page is over 32kb. You might want to archive some of the discussions when you have the time. GizzaChat © 04:21, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re comment on User talk:Thayvian: Oh no! I didn't think to look at the edit history. I thought it was a bit strange that there was so little info there, but Wikipedia was a bit patchy on Aussie swimming last I looked, so I didn't question it. Thayvian 01:03, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Chastity, Truth and Kinopanorama

[edit]

Your statement that this film is a vanity is nonsense. The film was released in 1995, and is presently undergoing restoration, as the entry originally stated, before you voted its deletion.

Since you live in Adelaide why don't you email me direct to request a VHS of the film.

Welcome to Esperanza!

[edit]

Welcome, YellowMonkey/Archive2, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee comprised of KnowledgeOfSelf, JoanneB, FireFox and Titoxd. The next set of elections will be in April, and I would be glad to see you vote, or even consider running for a position.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Celestianpower by email or talk page or the Esperanza talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

He seems intent upon making controversial statements & then pulling ot long drawn arguments about those edits, arguing on techncalities. NPOV isnt just a set of hard rules, but a more subtle nuance. And due to this we are spending more time arguing than contributing. Something definitely needs to be done. What do you suggest?

Sorry. My apologies for the Second Innings. That was a mistake. I have removed that. I did not realise the wrong filter used for the second innings till it was pointed out.

And I honestly do not understand one thing. can some one explain this to me. When sachin's failures are quoted from Wisden, that stays for a long time without any one editing that. When the fact Sachin scored 1 run is quoted, it also stays. But when the fact Sachin was the top scorer is stated, that becomes a controversy. Honestly, I am against arguments, but I am not understanding the base behind retaining the failures and removing the high scoresDoctor Bruno 02:27, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ngo Dinh Diem

[edit]

Perhaps we can say that it is speculated that his surname is Ngo Dinh, but that it is disputed. I am no Vietnamese, I am just reporting what I saw in other versions of Wikipedia, so I can't say I am an expert on this. But at least we should float this. Should we do this?

Hello

[edit]

Hello TeaDrinker - You used to be Hansnesse right? Because some of the Hansnesse posts on my talk page are now credited to TeaDrinker in the history. Are you going to redirect Hansnesse to Teadrinker??Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 05:31, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted. My intent with the name change was to disassociate my editing with my name, after noting that one persistant vandal (PinkTulips, also known as Amorrow, and a variety of IPs) was collecting personal details about editors he disliked on his website. Although I have not been targeted by PinkTulips, I figured it was preferable to make it a bit harder to track me down for like-minded people. I do watch my talkpage, so I can get messages there. A smarter thing to do, I suspect, would have simply registered under a different name. --TeaDrinker 06:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The bio I was thinking of was on Mindspillage, at the bottom of the page [1], who originally blocked him. It is not particularly for this site that I was worried; it just alerted me to the potential problem. An ordinary vandal could find me on google quite easily (knowing my name).
Morrow was blocked, as near as I can tell, with no arbcom ruling (which is not what my initial impression was, if you have read the discussion at User_talk:Hansnesse). There was a discussion on admin noticeboard. [2]

Re: Leaving Esperanza

[edit]

Hi Blnguyen. My reasons for leaving Esperanza are more to do with a changed perspective than any specific incidence, although I won't hesitate in saying that some participants are less than perfect. I suppose my change in thinking followed the userbox happenings when I re-evaluated what I wanted Wikipedia to be, and how that was best achieved. Though I think some mechanisms of Esperanza are worthwhile (the Stress Watch in particular), it hasn't followed the project overall hasn't followed the path I thought it would when I joined. I'm still part of the Kindness Campaign, but not in any active capacity. In fact, I've updated my userpage to state what my main activities are on Wikipedia at the time being.

Thank you for supporting / opposing / vandalising my RFA! The result was 71/3/0 and so I am now still a normal user / an administrator / indefinitely banned.

I sincerely apologize for the vandalism, I don't exactly know what I wrote because my brother was messing around with Wikipedia while I was logged on our computer.

Greg Sheridan

[edit]

It's good to see another reader of The Australian! I'm against biased political speculation - which is what a large portion of the article does in an effort to discredit Sheridan - so I've made a few changes. That said, it probably still needs some cleanup. I assume this is what you wanted me to have a look at, feel free to clarify with me otherwise.

Hope you're 'enjoying' your study too! ;)

michael talk 06:11, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for notifying me further of the issue, and good on you for your non-partisan activity on all this! I've made some changes to Greg Sheridan and voiced some thoughts on the Christianity in Australia talk page. I've been keeping well aware of the Darren Ray issue, it's beyond a joke that someone has the idea that they can use wikipedia as their own personal spin machine.

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

[edit]
Reach out is a program aimed at allowing users to bring issues that they have had in Wikipedia to a listening, sympathetic and caring audience:
"No one can know how we feel if we do not say. We cannot expect to get understanding if we do not ask for it. No one will dispute that sometimes life's issues are too much for one person. It is fair to say that sometimes Wikipedia's problems fall under the same heading. This is a place where you can bring the bruises that can sometimes be got on this project for attention."
The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Note from the editor
Welcome to this new format of the Esperanza Newsletter, which came about during the last Advisory Council meeting - we hope you like it! The major changes are that each month, right after the Council meeting, this will be sent out and will include two featured programs and a sum up of the meeting. Also, it will be signed by all of the Advisory Council members, not just Celestianpower. Have an Esperanzial end of March, everyone!
  1. Future meetings are to be held monthly, not fortnightly as before.
  2. Bans and Access level changes (apart from autovoice) in the IRC channel are to be reported at the new log.
  3. In the IRC channel, there is going to be only one bot at a time.
  4. The charter requires members to have 150 edits and 2 weeks editing. Why this is the case will be clarified.
  5. A new Code of Conduct will be drafted by JoanneB and proposed to the Esperanza community.
  6. The NPA reform idea is to be dropped officially.
  7. Charter ammendments are to be discussed in future, not voted on.
  8. The Advisory Council is not going to be proposed to be expanded by the Advisory Council themselves, if others want to propose it, they will listen.
Signed...
