Ultraman King page deletion

I responded to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2014_December_29

I usually don't come on often, especially around Christmas / New Year time , so I am slow in responding .

If you Jedi council still want to keep it deleted , fine by me but it is just a shame if it is. I am just saying the reason for deletion is absurd (because of format??) . As I said, King can not be written about like any characters, he wasn't created that way and for that reason (no TV shows or movie , just making special appeearances here and there) . A true Ultraman fan will find it absurd not to have his page on Wiki when all other ultras are.It is also ridiculous when copies of the original Wiki page for this character are everywhere on the internet but not on Wiki.

Take a look at the original Wiki page for Ultraman King that I copied somewhere else on the internet, tell me which parts need to be re-written , may be I can find some spare time to rewrite it.

I've responded here. You can reply here or there, I don't mind. Hut 8.5 19:41, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

"it consisted only of in-universe descriptions of fictional works. If you want the page to be restored then you need to find some way of addressing that. This is a good example of what we don't want. It starts with an in-universe description of the character and moves onto plot summaries of various fictional works. While all articles on fictional characters have content like this, they have to have something else as well. Common choices are:

   Out of universe descriptions of the character (i.e. from the point of view of the writers, or other development of the series)
   Reception or critical analysis of the character
   Cultural influence of the character."

There is nothing else one can add or at least in the manner you want because as I said, the character wasn't created for that and in that way. You are using western standard for something asian and for most asian fans, they don't care about the points you mentioned.

"Reception or critical analysis of the character

   Cultural influence of the character."

??? Seriously, you guys just graduated from some colleges majoring in journalism or English?? If you must, I can think of one cultural influence, Ultraman King is always used for promoting "respect the elderly" Day in Japan.

Out of universe descriptions?? He is not a Shakespearean character or some character in a novel. You people are making this place looking like some academia.

"Reception or critical analysis of the character"?? Who are you?? Roger Ebert??

I think people in charge of the Ultraman pages should be fans of the franchise for the very least if not knowledgeable in the subject. I say this for other subjects as well.

Anyway, I was just trying to preserve information for other fans. If the non-ultra fans Jedi council wants the page off , fine by me and not worth my time to contribute any effort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.206.217.74 (talk) 18:21, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

For your information I am not Roger Ebert, nor do I have an English degree. As was mentioned in the other discussion, take a look at the article on Darth Vader. It has a history of the development of the character, discussion of how the character was portrayed, and discussion of how the character has had an impact on various real life events. Our article on Superman has a history of the development of the character, influences from various other fictional works, copyright disputes, influences on other fictional works and on culture more generally. Darth Vader and Superman are hardly Shakespeare. I think it's rather bizarre to claim that it isn't possible to do this for characters originating in Asian culture, but in any case that's not true. Godzilla has a history of the development of the character, portrayals of the character, influences on the character and a discussion of the character's impact on culture. It isn't possible to do this for all fictional characters, no, but that's why we don't have articles on them. Hut 8.5 19:49, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Serious matter

Hi there HUT, this is (formerly known as) Always Learning, asked that my account be vanished after a serious run-in with a troll, with the intention of leaving forever, but guess I cannot, I'm hooked...

Remember this run-in with a Colombian punk that kept harassing after a mild exchange of opinions in the Quique Flores article (one of his accounts was User:Xxxx693, another was User:Lombriz de Aguapuerca)? Well, he has returned (please check Mr. Flores article's last two anon contributions beside mine), continuing to go against WP consensus that was reached in 2012, and continuing to insult me (his summary contained an old familiar, "crybaby", and also "piss off from WP").

Is it possible to have my talkpage (userpage not a concern anymore) protected so that, let's say, only admins can reach me? I am sick and tired of this punk's abuse (so courageous, insulting from thousands of miles away instead of to my face), surely something can be done, no?

Attentively, nice to "see" you again, happy weekend/work --84.90.219.128 (talk) 22:24, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Laurel Coppock deletion

The Laurel Coppock page was recently deleted, with G4 as the stated reason. I would like to respectfully dispute that. The page had been substantially updated from the version that was deleted in 2013, and does not satisfy the G4 criteria. Specifically:

  • The article's size increased from ~4000 to ~5000 bytes.
  • Two (2) more TV appearances were added to the list.
  • Her co-writing experience was added.
  • Her personal life info (husband + child) was added.
  • Her being one of 500 possibilities for the Toyota spot was added.

All of the above include verifiable references. References in the 2013 version were checked and updated as appropriate.

One could make the argument that Coppock is not notable, however that is not the stated reason the article was deleted. I am unable to find the deletion discussion, other than the original discussion from 2013. Would you please tell me where that discussion may be found.

Considering notability (in addition to the items listed above) ...

  • There are nine (9) Wikipedia articles that directly refer to Laurel Coppock, as evidenced by a Wikipedia Search.
  • Coppock appearts in Toyota commercials numerous times each day, and has done so, for the past 2+ years. Millions of people have seen her and can identify with her.
  • Laurel Coppock is very similar to Morgan Smith Goodwin, who is known for being the Wendy's girl, with little other acting experience listed in her Wikipedia article, definitely less than that listed in Coppock's article. If Goodwin's article is kept, then Coppock's should be kept as well.

The Wikipedia community would appreciate it if you would reconsider your deletion of the Laurel Coppock article. Thank you. Truthanado (talk) 16:04, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate your reply. Please note that I had no argument with the original AfD discussion in 2013. That's why I expanded the article and re-released it. Your reply doesn't address two key points in the discussion above.
  1. Where is the discussion of the latest delete? Shouldn't the article at least be given the courtesy of a recent AfD discussion? Where is the consensus (which Wikipedia lives by) for G4 deletion?
  2. There is no comment about the Morgan Smith Goodwin article. Does the Wikipedia community really want to tag that article as AfD, using the same reasoning as the original Coppock delete?
Again, thanks for your reply, and I further request information and your re-assessment of the G4 deletion. Truthanado (talk) 00:38, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Re; your follow-up reply on my talk page. I am not confused. I am curious how you determined that the revised article satisfies the G4 requirements of "A sufficiently identical and unimproved copy" when it is 25% larger and contains additional information. Of course, text from the original article remains; virtually every article in Wikipedia contains text from its initial version. Since we, as two individuals, disagree on this, I suggest we have another Wikipedia admin review our discussion, and make a determination of whether G4 applies. Truthanado (talk) 21:24, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Rape jihad

Please reconsider you G4 speedy deletion of Rape jihad. Aside from the title, the article had been entirely rewritten from the version originally submitted to AfD the last time. Pax 22:46, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... this article is cited very well, and it certainly isn't "too much of a neologism to pass notability guidelines." It's hardly a neologism at all - it's just a description of a phenomenon that's widely reported. Instead of deleting, if that's truly your reason, why don't we change it to a non neologism title? --DawnDusk (talk) 17:21, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

It is not hard to convince me that a systemic bias is in place regarding religious articles. For instance, "Rape jihad" despite having abundant RS and being entirely rewritten from the version which was previously AfDd, is speedied. Meanwhile, that insult to the intelligence known as Christian terrorism survives AfD despite being an utter travesty without any suitable RS supporting the tendentious claim implied by its title. Pax 21:50, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because...the article has been entirely rewritten. Literally not one sentence in it is the same as in the original version submitted to AfD. The only thing that remains is the name of the article, and abundant reliable sources establish both usage of the term in specific, and those activities it refers to in general. Simply put, the speedy nominator has not bothered to read the article, let alone perform WP:BEFORE-- Pax 21:45, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Orb Recording Studios Deletion Review

I had created an article describing the Orb Recording Studios. Please restore it. Or help me understand the reason of deletion. User:YSB (talk) 04:51, 08 June 2015 (UTC)

Help Required

I am new to this Wikipedia editing and article creation. I would really want to be able to do more. Could you please help me learn how to be good at this. Take for example the Orb Recording Studios article I did, which got deleted, how would you recommend I had presented it. What I did was

  1. Picked a random article to edit which was C.B. Hudson.
  2. I looked up C.B. Hudson on Google.
  3. Updated the info on the article C.B. Hudson and found that the article/page on Orb Recording Studios was not there.
  4. So I created one by referencing the Official Website of Orb Recording Studios.

PS: I have no affiliations to the Organisation/Company Orb Recording Studios

So the one I created had copy writing issues. How would you suggest I go about creating any such articles in future.

Thanks in advance. YSB (talk) 07:57, 08 June 2015 (UTC)

The second life of copyvio articles

Hey, Hut. Hope you're doing well. I thought you might be interested to know that Theresa Andrews, an Olympic swimmer article that had to be blanked for cut-and-paste copyright violation problems in 2010, now has a second life as a Good Article. Your work in fighting copyvios, in part, made that possible. Thank you for your efforts. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:59, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, you've done a very good job with that one. Hut 8.5 06:41, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Attribution of internal copy-paste

Hut, how familiar are you with the policies and guidelines that govern the cut-and-paste or copy-and-paste of text and other content from one Wikipedia article to another? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 14:55, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Reasonably, why? Hut 8.5 16:30, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
Could you take a look at this situation and let me know what you think? Over 100 new articles were created by copy-paste of existing content from Navy Midshipmen football results on July 11 and 12 (see, e.g., 1897 Navy Midshipmen football team). No attribution to the original content creator(s) was provided. Complicating this situation is the fact that the original article (linked above) is now subject to deletion at AfD, and if deleted, will break any connection/attribution to the original content and content creators. In your opinion, is this a serious problem under either our content attribution or copyvio policies? Dirtlawyer1 (talk)
I think you'd actually be OK deleting the source article there. At least in the US you can't claim copyright on lists of purely factual data, unless you have some non-obvious way of formatting or organising it (see Wikipedia:Copyright in lists). If the content here consists of the date, score, opponent and possibly the location with wins coloured green and losses red then I don't think that rises to the level of creativity where it would be copyrightable and hence we don't need attribution to use it somewhere else. The only thing which leaves me slightly concerned is some of the longer or more elaborate comments in the notes section, if those were copied then they might need attribution. Hut 8.5 16:48, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
So, the need for attribution for internal copy-paste from one Wikipedia article to another turns on whether the copy-pasted content is subject to external copyright law? If I understand your analysis correctly, that means copy-pasted (or cut-and-pasted) text should always be properly attributed to the source article and content creator, but lists may or may not require attribution depending on the extent of the particular list's original, creative content -- right? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:06, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
Anything which qualifies for copyright protection needs attribution when you copy it. Anything which doesn't qualify isn't copyrighted and can be used anywhere. (The guideline does actually discuss this - WP:NOATT.) Lists of statistics (particularly sports results) usually don't qualify, text usually does. Hut 8.5 18:03, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
"Lists of statistics . . . usually don't qualify, text usually does." Hence your cautionary caveat regarding the "notes" section of the copy-pasted season schedules? Got it. Thank you for your input. If you don't mind, I may return for advice related to this issue in other particular circumstances in the future. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:26, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
Yes. I suspect that the more complex chunks of text haven't actually been copied here, they tend to appear on the more recent seasons which have better developed spinoff articles, you can't claim copyright on something like "Homecoming" or "First meeting between the two teams". If you do want input from someone else you could try Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Copyright Cleanup, but I don't mind you asking me. Hut 8.5 18:50, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure what is going on. It appears you moved a page, but both pages redirect to Chiragabad, therefore Chiragabad is a redirect to itself. Bgwhite (talk) 05:55, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Copyright question

Hello. I noticed you were active on the copyvio noticeboard and have a question you might be able to answer: when translating from another language, do the same issues of language usage apply as in English sources?

Sale catalogue

After finding a redlink for "sale catalogue" I created a redirect to Wiktionary for it similar to the one already made for Donative (canon law) where you intervened saying "speedy delete" is not available for such a redirect. In the case of Sale catalogue the patroller (User:Largoplazo) marked it "speedy delete", informed me, and by the time I had left him a message of objection it had been deleted. Can anything be done to stop this lind of thing happening?--Johnsoniensis (talk) 19:39, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Johnsoniensis is correct, and I went to remove the speedy tag but found the article was already gone. —Largo Plazo (talk) 20:27, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your advice; perhaps it would be best to file a request for it to be created at Wiktionary first (I have only just checked this).--Johnsoniensis (talk) 11:00, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
Ah! Yes, absent that, the merits of the article's deletion were pretty undebatable. —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:27, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
I'm not sure the deleting admin realised that. Being a redirect to a nonexistent page is a valid reason to delete something, but that wasn't the reason entered in the deletion log. Hut 8.5 17:37, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
It seems tagging as speedy delete, and the deleting administrator's decision were technically wrong, and the speediness meant that the opportunity to untag it was lost. Whether the non-existence of a Wiktionary entry is a good reason not to create a redirect there I do not know. (I do not contribute to it as following right procedure in English WP is hard enough.) A request could be filed at Wiktionary for sale catalogue / catalog to be created; do you think this would be useful?--Johnsoniensis (talk) 14:54, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Pending RfC re "delete and redirect"

Hut, I am glad to see that you turned up at this RfC and are actively participating in it. The discussion desperately needs to hear from old hands such as yourself who are knowledgeable and experienced in our AfD terminology and procedures. It's pretty clear that we have editors and active administrators (including some actively involved in closing AfDs) who do not understand or accept the distinctions among "delete," "redirect," "delete and redirect" and "merge," nor the implications for the deletion or preservation of article history that each of those discrete !votes carries. I hope you stay involved in this discussion through its closing. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:03, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Could you clear copyright violation rules for me, I am in doubt.

Could you help me understand copyright violation? I believe we may not reproduce entire paragraphs from sources even with quote (more so when no secondary source has it in quotes from the primary source) unless we get permission. While other editors have advised me that it okay to reproduce paragraphs from a primary source, while mentioning the book and putting quotes (which takes care of copyright violation according to them).

Non-notable banks

Greetings, Hut 8.5. I recently came across the contributions of User:امین اکبر, and found they had created a large number of bank stubs. I tagged a few of them with CSD#A7, and then saw that you had deleted quite a few more such stubs, created by the same user, under A7. It occurred to me that the easiest way to dispose of many of these would be for you to go through the list and delete as necessary; if you have the time and inclination, of course! If not, I can work my way through them, and tag as needed. Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 11:40, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

My Game Liberty Rings I Created was Deleted

How do ensure the rules and history to the new game I created be posted to Wikipedia without deletion. Thank you for your help.

Arbejdernes Landsbank

Would it be okay to recreate the Arbejdernes Landsbank article? It's the 7th largest bank in Denmark,[1] they are ranked top in customer satisfaction surveys and the history of the bank is pretty unique among Danish banks, as it was established by the socialist party and the labour unions. I've already gathered plenty of sources to write a decent piece about that.

Kindly do not delete information from articles on a whim. The issue of copyright was looked at and resolved before you started deleting things. The information used from Laraib Group is purely factual and can NOT be changed any further. I made sufficient changes to the information from the website before adding it to the page. It was seen and assessed as not a copyvio by user:Qpalzmmzlapq on 19:49, 14 February 2016‎, as can be seen in the log. Your input is not appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuel145 (talkcontribs)

I believe a PR person edited two articles so consumers are adversely affected

I believe a PR person is editing two articles so consumers are adversely affected. I say this because the edit summaries are inaccurate and they are not editing other articles.

I restored the removed information to these two articles Kaleida Health and Erie County Medical Center. The information which was removed came from notable sources.

I noticed you are from the UK. If the United States had government supplied healthcare, public relations staff or PR firms would not be trying to whitewash hospital related entries.

Please do what you can to prevent this from happening again. Knox490 (talk) 04:31, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

I looked at the IP number of the person who edited the entries and the person appears to be on the staff of the Erie County Medical Center as the IP address is from that institution. I suspect it was someone in their marketing/PR department. Knox490 (talk) 04:41, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Ragnhild Hveger 2010

Back in 2009 I entered a fair amount of information in the Ragnhild Hveger article, but it was all deleted as violating copyright. I read the copyright violation information you linked to above, but I still don't understand my violation. If I paraphrase information from published books and cite my sources, how is that a copyright violation? I was only doing what many Wikipedia authors seem to be doing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.167.249.208 (talk) 09:02, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Please undelete Lovely Rivero

Please undelete Lovely Rivero and any other pages deleted for similar reasons. Unfortunately, the speedy nominator here has industriously but incompetently speedy-nominated every page created by a now-indeffed editor, regardless of whether they were created before or after the block was imposed -- and every one I've checked was created before the block, and therefore outside the scope of db-banned.

@Hullaballoo Wolfowitz:: sorry about that, I've restored Britney Dolonius, Coleen Perez and Lovely Rivero. Hut 8.5 20:17, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank You

I'm sorry for the "cut-and-paste move" on mobile virus.

Thanks for letting me know on the feature to move pages.

Thank you

Re 86.164.106.79, which you have just blocked for a week, the operator is User:Richard Daft who is subject to site-wide WP:BAN so your action is entirely appropriate and much appreciated. All the best. Jack | talk page 07:01, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Game of Thrones (season 8) listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Game of Thrones (season 8). Since you had some involvement with the Game of Thrones (season 8) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Safiel (talk) 01:52, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Additional note Since the other editor persisted with the speedy deletion attempt, I have instead nominated the redirect for deletion and invited him to make his case for deletion there. Safiel (talk) 01:52, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Comment I also took the liberty of adding a reflist template to capture a stray reference from a comment above and display the reference with the appropriate comment. Safiel (talk) 01:55, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
