Regarding this, I think you should start an AN or ANI discussion about the situation. If you do, feel free to throw me the link to it. Silverseren^C 03:43, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Manny Fontenla-Novoa speedy decline

Thanks, I'm still trying to get my feet on the ground re new page patrolling. I'd welcome your opinion: Should it be AfD'ed? Best regards, TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 21:34, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

The thing to remember about the A7 speedy delete criteria is that an article only has to have some indication of why the person could be notable to avoid speedy. Any such assertion does not need to be sourced. What amounts to enough indication to avoid speedy varies between people but universally it's significantly lower than the standards in WP:N and it's associated pages.

Personally I'd advise against taking to WP:AfD as I think it's likely to survive. Both this article and this one are largely about him (rather than the company) and both are reliable sources so it seems likely our notability standards are met.

For the avoidance of any doubt - I'm not an admin but per our deletion policy any one, except the page creator, may remove a speedy tage with which they disagree. I'm going to try and find time to improve the article shortly. Dpmuk (talk) 21:46, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm not an admin either, we both have about the same edit count, and we have both come here from the same place: I've been patrolling hangon's doing just what you're doing, removing speedy tags that I though inappropriate. I thought today I'd try out the Dark Side of the Force, but I seem to be struggling so far. Maybe I should have been removing more speedy tags than I was. Thanks for your comments. — TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 21:58, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough - I didn't really look into your history. Yep, I patrol speedy delete tags because of this this article (still have to look up my watchlist to remember how to spell it :-) ). Back then I was starting to patrol new pages and was looking at what other articles were tagged so as to get an idea what should be tagged. I thought that article was worth saving despite it's terrible state but had to fight tooth and nail to get it kept. It ended up making DYK. Since then I've been patrolling speedy tags because it made me realised quite how often mistakes happen. Dpmuk (talk) 22:02, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Re- The Playing Fields (band)

I have added the reasons to not be tagged for speedy deletion as follows in my reply to "SnoopGod":

On what basic is this band notable? Snoop God (talk) 18:41, 3 June 2010 (UTC) "Significant coverage"- the sources address the subject in detail. No external research is neccessary.

"Reliable"- sources published works.

"Sources"- quotes secondary sources, band has over 100 press articles.

"Independent of subject"- I am not affiliated with band.

"Presumed"- there is no presumption neccessary, all references are inline citated.

"Neutral sources"- many, quoted.

is that enough? Please let me know if you need more.

I am on here regularly. Whilst this band may not be Madonna,

General notability guideline Shortcuts: WP:GNG WP:SIGCOV If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article...

and it doesn't stand alone, it is not an orphan.

Moves

What the heck are you talking about? I pasted it under current requests like everybody else. And are you even allowed to move other people's requests I thought that movers do that? EunSoo (talk) 10:09, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

But in Donghae's case it doesn't make sense because as u said Donghae is called Donghae and not Donghae City, right. So then why is Donghae City not just Donghae? And is there a minimal amount of links for disambiguation pages? Cause 3 seems kind of useless. Okay I read it I saw that 3 is the minimal to create a disambig.

WP:DABNAME says a if there is a primary topic then there should be a (disambiguation) tag added so in this inorder for there to be a PT Donghae City hould be moved to Donghae then Donghae can be moved to Donghae (diambiguation) EunSoo (talk) 10:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Because the sea and the singer are also known by that name, so which one should go there? The minimum number of links for a disambiguation page is 2. I don't see how this is "stupid" if there's two things with the same name we need to point people at the correct article even if there is only two articles to choose from. Dpmuk (talk) 10:39, 4 June 2010 (UTC

Well I am not sure but I was told that the primary topic was decided by the article most viewed ShelfSkewed . So I would think the most viewed was Donghae (singer). That's why RMed it. According to Wikipedia's title it's called Sea of Japan (I don't even see Donghae in the intro), so I don't what to do?? *scratches head* EunSoo (talk) 10:53, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Okay I did the whole Google search engine thing and Donghae the singer came up first so I guess he would be the primary topic. EunSoo (talk) 10:54, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

EunSoo 'Socking' again?

Hi there, Dpmuk.
I have a feeling EunSoo (talk · contribs) may be back as Dreaded22 (talk · contribs). My reasoning is that almost their first edit (here) was a re-direct regarding a Korean singer, which was a redirect that EunSoo also made, but was reverted. I reverted too, and Dreaded22 re-reverted without comment. I dropped them a talkpage message asking what was up, no response. Opinion? Thanks. --220.101 (talk) ^\Contribs 12:59, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer Right Granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. The Helpful One 12:03, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

About the revertion of a SD tag

No biggies. Just to let you know that I'm fully aware of the CSD criteria, and in fact I first tagged under a different criteria. If you would have cared to look at my contributions you could have seen it for yourself. So next time before saying something to someone please look at his User page, his talk page, and his contributions. The article has now been moved to user space so there really isn't need to discuss further the criteria. Remember that criteria is not law and that wikilawyering is a bad practice. Also it is very uncivil to remove SD tags as I can see you do (infering from the announcement at the top of your talk page). I will revert any SD tag non-admin removal that is not fully discussed in the article's talk page, if there isn't a change in the article's content. The SD tag is used to get the author and admin attention about the article. Therefore, even though you can remove it, it is better to let the author address the SD tag rationale, or let and admin either delete the article or remove the SD tag. Good luck, and remember to always assume good faith. Thanks --Legion fi (talk) 00:53, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Ore railway station

This article has recently been renamed to Ore Valley Railway Station. I have attempted to undo the renaming as this new name does not accord with the actual name.

Kurdish diaspora and Kurdish population

Hi Dpmuk, I have proposed that we merge Kurdish diaspora to Kurdish population. If you look at the history of the Kurdish diaspora article [before I made major improvements to it] both the articles were identical. I never realised there was a Kurdish population article unitl today. Do you support the merge? If so can you please let me know on Talk:Kurdish Population? Thank you.Turco85 (Talk) 12:52, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

I think it is best to have all this information in the Kurdish population article rather than the Kurdish diaspora because Kurds in Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran are not considered part of the diaspora. This would eventually open the flood gates with users arguing that it is necessary to have to pointless identical articles due to there being 4 countries [i.e. Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran] which are not part of the diaspora- yet the rest of the information would end up being the same. Thus, I agree with you 100%. Turco85 (Talk) 13:14, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok , thank you for your help and advice.Turco85 (Talk) 13:20, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Kurdish Population and Kurdish diaspora and a more general comment

I'm sorry but there is no discuss. Only one anti-Kurdish user add template without reason. And about Kurdish diaspora, I think the title must be changed to Kurdish population. Otherwise, some anti-Kurdish users tried to remove information about Kurds in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria. But their edits are not correct. Because Kurds are living in territories of Turkey outside Kurdistan. For example some Kurdish groups have been in Inner Anatolia some centuries before. They are different from other Kurds who are living in Turkish Kurdisntan and new emigrants from Turkish Kurdistan. In Iran different Kurdish groups who live outside Iranian Kurdistan. I'm not Kurdish but I don't want to allow anti-Kurdism. Our most constructive way is changing title of article Kurdish diaspora to Kurdish people. Thank you.

Ti (Native American Demon)

Have done as you asked, and done some more research. I quote from the talk page:

"I am always suspicious when a 'legend' is only referenced in print. I first googled for the names in the article, and got back here. I then tried for the books, and can find no evidence of any of them existing, or even of the authors existing. I would have thought a work consisting of at least three volumes published in 1992 would have at least one ghit. Also, the ouija board has writing on it - how could the NA women make them when there was no writing until very modern times in the NA peoples? (Wampum is a memory aid, not writing. It was used for storing, not communicating.) Ti couldn't have used a board for communicating as no-one would have understood - especially if no-one had done this before. I also find the dating interesting - I would like to know how dating like this can be achieved in an oral history culture. All in all, I believe this to be a very well constructed hoax. If I am proved wrong, I will be quite happy to apologise - but with evidence that is more accessible than the untraceable current set of references. I might have missed something. If I have, please show me where." Peridon (talk) 11:45, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

message to BillMasen

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean? What guideline have I misinterpreted?

If you mean the capitalisation guideline, do you mean Bounty Killer should not be a redirect, or it should? They have moved it now so that the capitalised name goes to the reggae guy, and uncapitalised goes to bounty hunter. Is that wrong? BillMasen (talk) 23:05, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Closing discussion on Talk:Progressive Award Scheme

I considered your point about being involved, but it is now unlikely that anyone totally uninvolved will close it. Such discussions are supposed to be for 7 days, yet there has been no contribution to the discussion for over a month. I will leave it open but I think that confuses the merge discussion that I have started. The point Chris makes on that merge discussion is important. The number of people keeping an eye on and improving Scouting articles, particularly in the UK has declined and it is difficult to get a clear consensus. --Bduke (Discussion) 00:11, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Removal of deletion template

I am wondering why you removed my speedy delete request template from Sandstone Antechinus? You are not in a position to delete page, and as far as I cant tell have no affiliation with WikiProject Mammals or WikiProject Animals so would not be aware of the guidelines on fauna naming conventions. I have restored the request and will wait for it to be deleted. I fail to see how it would be controversial the only editing done to that article for a number of months has been by bots. I generally assume good faith on these matters and will do so now, though I would have expected a little more trust in my judgement given my roles on WikiProject Animals and WikiProject Mammals.

Please self-revert

Your attempt to fix the problem in the N/N only compounded the matter currently being discussed in AN/I. Your alteration now has me commenting on my own post, completely changing the meaning of both posts and interrupting the conversational and chronological flow of the discussion. As per WP:TALK, I'd point out that the comments by SB you are reinstating were themselves in violation of that guideline, as they refactored my comments out of order, when they simply could stated in their follow-up post that they were directed to another user. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 21:54, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

(cross-posted from my usertalk page) Respectfully, you are wrong, Dpmuk. Had you taken into account ScottyBerg's usertalk page history, you would see where this advice was offered repeatedly, before being immediately removed by the user without comment.

Bluntly, in shoe-horning my comment to after theirs, SvottyBerg interrupted the reply I had made to a specific useer well after the fact, and therefore made it appear as if I was replying to SB instead. I simply preserved chrono and conversational flow. If anything, ScottyBerg violated WP:TALK; I was simply fixing their mistake. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 22:12, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm not aware of where you made that point to the user in question. My personal feeling is that neither of you have got this quite right. In my opinion they should have replied below your post but at the same level of indent to make it clear that they were replying to Hobit's post not yours. Moving their post to below yours and indent it more is clearly wrong as it implies they are replying to you something they make clear they're clearly not and this is directly against WP:TPO where it quotes "Never edit or move someone's comment to change its meaning, even on your own talk page" and by changing who it looks like they're replying too it clearly changes the meaning. For this reason I won't self revert (I was writing this when you posted on my talk page) - if you're reply is to them I suggest you move it to after their reply to Hobbit (as the person who wrote it this is your right). Would you be happy if they agreed to their post being below yours but at the same level of indentation and your reply to them below that but at one more level of indentation - if so I'll suggest this to them. Dpmuk (talk) 22:00, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

As per your suggested solution, I don't mind them using the same level of indent (though they might want to include a dbl line break so as to avoid confusing our posts), but it seems like SB is trying to exclude me from my own conversation, like a boor at a party trying to hijack the conversation. I doubt they would agree to the arrangement. I'd ry, but I am guessing they'd simply remove the post without reading it. Again. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 22:30, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Dpmuk,

Just a heads up that according to the instructions for starting an entry at WP:CCI, you probably should have notified Kittybrewster of the action on his/her talk page:

After submitting a case, notify the contributor by adding {{subst:CCI-notice}} ~~~~ to the bottom of his or her talk page. It is not necessary to notify individuals who are currently blocked for copyright infringement, even if temporarily.

I have now posted the notification myself, so this is just a note for future reference really... Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 08:48, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
