==Genikt mit'n avoda zara!== | |||
Hi Danny, | |||
I saw your comment on the usertalk page for user "Chabad", and I just wanted to say that I agreed with your comment until the point that you said genug mitn avoida zara. His edits are clearly POV however his beliefs are not idol worship. This has become a common argument that has no basis: when he reffers to the Rebbe with the present tense, that is not avoida zara in any way, even if he reffers to the Rebbe as "King Messiah", that is not avoida zara. You may say he is mistaken, however not that he is doing avoida zara. Perhaps in some comment he said something that was avoida zara, however I did not see any such edit. As the founder of veropedia, it is very important to me that you acknowledge this truth, being fanatically attached to a Jewish leader and even calling him alive after death and believing he is Moshiach is not idol worship.] (]) 20:45, 4 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

== Magnus Hirschfeld == | |||
Hello Danny, | |||
It's almost four years ago when you started this article. I have a question about two of your elements that still have been preserved in the ] biography of today's Misplaced Pages. You mentioned as a fact that Hirschfeld, a gay man, participated in the gay subculture of Germany, and also, that he was a transvestite. I wonder what is your source for that. For the very moment his colleagues or his many readers would know Hirschfeld was a participating gay man or a transvestite, no one would take him seriously anymore. | |||
I didn't find any material about this in the various English and German biographies of Hirschfeld, but maybe you did. There are several known instances of Hirschfeld showing gay bars and transvestite festivities to distinguished guests (for instance ]). That Hirschfeld was called 'Auntie Magnesia' or 'Magnolia' has been documented, but not as a transvestite. If you have a source for his uncloseted homosexuality or his transvestism, please let us know. ] 00:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
A few days ago, I asked one of Hirschfeld's biographers, Manfred Herzer, to comment on his participation in the German gay subculture, and on his supposed transvestism. Herzer thought both elements 'balderdash' I'm afraid. I am going to delete the allegation in a few days, unless of course you come up with some substantiation. ] 07:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC) | |||

== The question I asked at your RfA == | |||
Danny, I don't want to clutter up your RfA page by pressing a point with regard to a question that you haven't answered as clearly or as fully as I had hoped. I asked what your position was with regard to linking to sites that publish real names of Misplaced Pages editors or their addresses, phone number, photos, etc. You asked how linking to such sites would enhance the quality of the encyclopaedia, and how it was relevant to your performance as an administrator. I replied that there is an article on Brandt, and that there ''was'' one about ED, and that the question as to whether such articles should have external links to the websites is relevant to the question of building the encyclopaedia. With regard to the relevance of this to your performance as an administrator, I pointed out that administrators have the power to block people who post such links, to protect pages where such links are being posted, and to delete versions of page histories. Administrators also have the power to ''unblock'' someone who has been blocked for posting such links, or to unprotect a page that another administrator had protected for that reason. You replied that if it is the policy of the Foundation not to link to those sites, you would enforce it, but that admins don't make policy. | |||
I realise that admins don't make policy. However, admins do have personal feelings, and as a result of those personal feelings will act differently from other admins in borderline cases. It's clear that policy forbids vandalism, but it isn't always clear whether or not an edit really is vandalism. Even in cases where it is clear, some administrators will immediately indefinitely block a newly-registered account that vandalises one single article once. Others may issue a warning, and then block for 24 hours. They could both say, "If the policy of the Foundation is not to allow vandalism, I will enforce it", but they still take different approaches. An administrator who thinks that edit warring is the very, very worst thing for Misplaced Pages will almost certainly block someone who lost count and accidentally made a fourth revert within 24 hours. An administrator who takes a more easy-going approach will probably not block unless the user has made six or seven reverts, in spite of warnings. I don't need to spend a lot of time reading admin noticeboards to realise that some administrators are far more likely than others to block someone for making a personal attack. | |||
So, while admins don't make policy, they do use their own judgment in borderline cases or in cases where policy is unclear. I have seen administrators replacing template warnings which a user had removed from his talk page, and I have seen different cases where administrators threatened to block a user who replaced warnings that another user had removed from his own talk page. It would be a very poor admin who would allow his personal views on article content to affect his admin actions (like blocking pro-life 3RR violators at ], and ignoring pro-choice 3RR violators), but an admin's personal views on policy will certainly affect the admin decisions he takes. In the issue that I expressed interest in, it's possible that an admin could revert the addition of a link, block the user who had posted it (perhaps after a warning), and then delete and partially restore the page. Another admin might revert the addition of a link, but not delete the page or block the person who had posted it. Another admin might revert a live link, but ignore the posting of a nowiki'd one. One admin might take action if a link is posted to the main page of a site that has subpages which harass editors. Another admin might only take action if a link is posted to the actual pages in question. | |||
I realise that these questions on an RfA are optional, and I get the impression from your two answers that you don't want to be more specific. For example, you didn't ask Geogre what the role of IRC has to do with your performance as an admin; you gave him a long answer. If you don't wish to comment further, I accept and respect that. But I hope you can appreciate that this optional question was not at all an irrelevant one. The Foundation is unlikely to give a complete list of every site that may not be linked to, so admins will have to use their judgment about new harassing sites, and about whether links should be reverted or deleted from histories, and about whether people should be blocked for posting a nowiki'd URL. Their judgment in a particular case will be affected by the general position they take on the whole issue. Very obviously, the proportion of admins who take a strict or lenient position on this will have an impact on how Misplaced Pages is run. | |||
I would have liked a fuller answer, but I may well support your RfA anyway. Best wishes, ] ] 11:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC) | |||

== Regarding suicide threat == | |||
Hello. I am mostly a contributer to Wikinews. Before I start my talk page is . | |||
I was wondering if you can provide a statement regarding the suicide threat by ] for a '''possible''' article on the situation. I say possible bacuse this is a fairly new situation (only a few hours old...about 10hours) and I don't want to jump the gun on an article. | |||
*I see that you called the police. What did they say? Was a report filed? What will happen next? | |||
*Was there a checkuser performed on the user in question? If not...why? | |||
*What caused, if you know, the user to make such a threat? | |||
*Has the foundation been contacted regarding this ie. Jimbo? | |||
*Was this user known in the WP community? | |||
I was informed of this by a user here on WP who ocassionaly contributes to Wikinews and was interestd in preventing what ever bad press this could generate. This is only a few hours old, but if media outlets in the US get a hold of this, or the user does turn up dead...his evidence left behind could be a note or something that could blame Misplaced Pages for this. We don't know if he is a nut or normal and the media would tear this apart. | |||
My part is to make sure, if the media does report this, that Misplaced Pages and the foundation used and took all the proper measures to make sure that this did not happen or could be prevented as well as providing moral support for the user. | |||
Like I said, I want to get the fuill story first and the right information before I do anything, if anything. Your quick reply, when you are able to, is appreciated. | |||
I would prefer a response on my Wikinews talk page, provided in the link at the top of this message. Thank you for your time. ] 04:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC) | |||

==Copyright Infringement== | |||
RE: Category:Public domain images from ww2incolor.com | |||
It is possible you are unaware of the category but for the record- these are not PD images. They are scanned from books (where they are attributed) and uploaded by anonymous users to ww2incolor.com. ww2incolor.com engages in a thief's charter of "we don't know, we don't ask" which wikia treats as if it means all images hosted there are PD. "]" is a good description of the process. | |||
wikia does the same for photographs from the LOC Prints and Photographs Division. When an image on LOC is marked as being in an unknown copyright status any user on wikia can transform that unknown into a status of "Public Domain". This happens despite the LOC making it clear that the responsibility of establishing copyright is up to the user, in this case the uploader to wikia. Color and B&W images from the period are copyright under ]. Fair use is allowed only when non free images don't exist, in the cases where color images from period are used on wikia, there are plenty of free images available. These are basic facts also being ignored. | |||
I'd suggest immediate removal of the cat and images. I'd suggest close scrutiny of images dating to the period which exist on wikia and deletion of all originating from sites like ww2incolor. You may also want to place the site on the spamlist. Making it mandatory to provide cited, details on source/photographer/copyright <b>before</b> images get uploaded would help prevent theft. No details, no upload. No upload, no . | |||
Now, after deciding to avoid the torturous image removal process, when I encounter stolen images on the site I have decided not to engage in process, I go direct to the copyright holder who then go legal. You really need to make the site less friendly to thieves, and more friendly to holders of copyright. <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (]) 14:09, 8 April 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned --> | |||
== Thanks for the note == | |||
If you weren't working under the Office authority, then you were either working as a normal admin/editor at Meta and Misplaced Pages or as a Foundation employee. If it's the latter what authority does any foundation employee have at Misplaced Pages other than the local authority the community may have given them? In any event, my point is that whatever tools you used under whatever authority were used pretty rashly, no? Look, I know how big a role you've played here and when this all started I wondered why it was even necessary to go through RFA. But Flcelloguy really struck a chord with me, we've had a decent number of problems with admins being hasty with the blocking tools resulting in desysoppings, Jimbo having to step in, arbcom cases and general shit storms that I think that how someone uses the tools is important along with what authority they are using them and why...thanks. ] 14:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC) | |||
:So you were working under Office authority, but not of your own volition. But at least in my mind, Flcelloguy's questions aren't answered. I don't understand why you don't see how his outline might cause concern in some editors minds especially since Jimbo felt he had to step in and undo a couple of your actions. Anyway, it is what it is...we're not building tanks for a war we're losing as they say so one way or another it'll work out. ] 15:12, 8 April 2007 (UTC) | |||

congratulations Danny. I had some harsh comments during this RFA, just know none of them were personal (I don't even know you so it would be hard for them to have been personal)...My big deal with this was that community concensus was more important than one mans opinion here. The users have spoken (and yes, on close calls like this I count what the crats did as the community speaking, the crats were voted in by the community so they could server as the community voice when its otherwise unclear); it would be hypocritical for me to not hold myself to the same standard that I held you to. That said, thanks for all you have done, and all you will do in the future for the project. --] 22:56, 10 April 2007 (UTC) | |||

Danny, would you mind commenting on ]? The idea is that we should reverse the presumption in favor of deletion when it comes to BLPs. That is, if a BLP is nominated for deletion, whether by the subject or anyone else, there would have to be a consensus in favor of keeping it; without that, it would be deleted. This won't solve all our BLP problems, but it would make it easier to deal with borderline notable ones that possibly ought not to exist.

== Re: Your 19:38, 30 April 2007 edit of ] == | |||
Hi Danny, | |||
I notice that around April 30 you were busily tagging many pages with <nowiki>{{</nowiki>]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> tags, including the one above, which had already been tagged on with the now deprecated <nowiki>{{</nowiki>]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> form. Since that time (on my Firefox browser, at least) both templates are slapping links over one another: a bit messy. You've been significantly engaged in Misplaced Pages for some time, a real old hand by many standards, so I'm bemused to be advising you to check for (and clean up) older coordinate tags before sticking newer forms on the page. Was the older template not resolving anying in your flavor of browser, deceiving you into thinking that nothing was there at all? | |||
I'm cleaning up the conflict (done). I see that you are starting out at a wide, regional level, so that the park is quite small. I think that is better (but I had to convince myself). It does give readers from far away the picture that Prospect Park is in the New York metropolitan region, which wasn't clear at the street scale which the older template used. Take care! — ] 13:24, 4 May 2007 (UTC) | |||

:: To the first guy i want to tell u not to waste any words here. You are not the only one from now on 10 peaple will be blocked every day. and three others are already blocked. Danny wont do nothing, he is a men that says one think and does another think. He promised the yiddish wiki community that he will answer our calls for help within 16 hours, and thats why we dysyoped 20 people and made him sysop. Yet we begged him to block sockpupets and he was silent. We begged him to block vandals and he was silent. Now that all those sockpupets and vandals were free to hijack the community again by making themselves sysops he wont do anything because now they are a "community" so let him alone. now that he lost the board membership position he wont have the slightest interest in helping out a language project he does not speak. Lets thank him for his trying something at the time he worked in the office. Now its time to say full heartedly we have given it all and the blame is solely on Danny and not on the Yiddish speakers. He has asked the community to desysop 20 people for his service that has never ever come, he never kept his word, not one single call for help was answered by him! Now that the Yiddish Misplaced Pages is in the hands of the Rabbis who are by the opinion that Internet and the open medium of information is a bad think. Its time to move on. Thanks to Danny!--] 11:16, 18 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
::: I am here to testify that Danny has done his utmost to save our Yiddish project, in the busiest hectic days he always was ready and willing to help. It must be stated clerly that Danny is not a Baby sitter if the Yiddish community cannot grow up by itself Danny cannot do nothing he is no longer in the foundation and that unfortunately is now a hardship for all small projects that go through this kinds of struggles. No wikipedia is dead when vandals and sockpupets hijack it and manipulate their power control and censorship, all this is, is a birth pain of the project to take off, we have to realize that the Yiddish language is a very unique and hard dream to make it come true in a full free and open encyclopedia when most of its users are opposed to the ideal of freedom of information itself, they despise Internet, television and all open and free worldly media. i am optimistic and hopeful more then ever that this will help the Yiddish language speakers to redeem them from their fanatical strict society structure with the power of knowledge. lets not forget they keep blocking us daily. they erase all our edits. they lock everything. but they are essentialy sanctifying the wikipedia medium by this. we have to look at this project like the Tehran and china projects. All society's were at once very primitive and closed. Unfortunately Danny understood this from his experience as a Jew, the current board leadership don't yet get it because they are still new. it will take them time but in the end of the day i am positive they will get it as well. So Danny please feel that we love you and we will for eternity be grateful for your service to our project. Peace and success in all your future endeavours.--] 13:54, 18 July 2007 (UTC) | |||

Thank you for leaving a ridiculous template on my user page, welcoming me to Misplaced Pages. You might be interested to note this page, which lists some of my early edits, from . I had been editing several months before that, but unfortunately, many early edits were lost in 2002 due to technical reasons, and my first edits, from 2001, were made under an anonymous IP. I'm kinda familiar with Misplaced Pages policy, as I helped to formulate quite a bit of it, in the days long before template messages, when people actually spoke to one another, on wiki pages, rather than IRC, and wrote genuine message, rather than dropping templates on each other's pages. That was called "community," and in fact, we actually knew each other back then. As for Elonka, I stand by what I said. ] 18:17, 29 July 2007 (UTC) | |||

==Night of the Long Knives== | |||
Hi. In July 2007 this article was put through a "Good Article" review, then a "Peer Review", and finally a "FAC Review." It was promoted to featured article status with the block quote as it was and with the two images you removed. Both images and their respective fair use rationales were extensively vetted during the three reviews. I realize that you are acting in good faith and trying to improve Misplaced Pages articles, but you removed the images unilaterally, without encouraging discussion about the images on the article's talk page, and consequently without any consensus. As to the block quote by Hitler, I checked the ] and it appears to favor a block quotation being surrounded by a border. I think for the sake of uniformity in Misplaced Pages articles (especially featured articles) should adhere to Manual of Style. The format of that block quote has been changed several times. Why should it change every few weeks? I think that the style should remain as it was during the Featured Article review. I also think that the large quotation marks look cartoonish for such a sobering quotation. I appreciate your efforts to improve the article. But to sum up, I think: | |||
*The block quote should revert to its previous format, per Manual of Style, and because the change does nothing to improve the article; and | |||
*The images should return, or at least there should be discussion on whether the fair use rationales are appropriate. | |||

Hi Danny, thanks for participating at ], we ''really'' need the help of some other editors who actually know the history of the area. :) BTW, on that "Armenian legend", I think you're referring to the page from ], p. 660? If so, I think we've already got a transcript (just saving you some work). It says, "The king of Armenia, back from his raid against the Sultan, went to Jerusalem. He found that all the enemies had been put to flight or exterminated by the Tatars, who had arrived before him. As he entered into Jerusalem, he gathered the Christians, who had been hiding in caverns out of fright. During the 15 days he spent in Jerusalem, he held Christian ceremonies and solemn festivities in the Holy Sepulchre. He was greatly comforted by his visits to the places of the pilgrims. He was still in Jerusalem when he received a certificate from the Khan, bestowing him Jerusalem and the surrounding country. He then returned to join Ghazan in Damas, and spend the winter with him." It was accepted as a source by Dr. Sylvia Schein in her 1979 article "Gesta Dei per Mongolos," but rejected by Dr. Angus Donal Stewart in his book "The Armenian Kingdom and the Mamluks", where he called it "an absurd claim" from an unreliable source.

Dear Danny, | |||
Once you said: “One contributor, Dmitri Smirnov, is hard at work creating stunning translations of some of the major Russian poets, including Baratynsky, Mandelstam, and Pushkin. Here is just one example: More tender than tender.” However now, because by new Russian law all works by Mandelstam are copyrighted again until the year of his last rehabilitation (1987) + 70 years - that is until 2055. Because Osip Mandelstam had no children and or relatives left, everything is inherited now by the Union of Russian Writers and the Russian State which killed him in a concentration camp of GULAG in 1938. I do not understand why Wikimedia (+ Jimbo himself) support this unfair & barbarous action. For me it also means that I have to destroy about 300 pages of Russian and English parts of Wikisourse as the ] insists. The same problem is with the works by Daniil Kharms and many more Russian authors. What would be your advise??? What is the best solution? Thank you for your attention and assistance in advance.

Thank you very much for your previous comments at ]. We are still having a bit of a stalemate at the article though, so if you have time, I was wondering if you could offer another opinion? I have created a ] where I have rewritten the article from top to bottom, shrinking it down from 167K to a little less than 70K, removing some of the unreliable sources and less relevant information, splitting other sections out to more appropriate articles, and most importantly, trying to smooth out the writing so as not to give ] to certain POVs. My rewritten version of the article is currently at ]. I've announced it at ], but because this is such an obscure subject, it's really been very difficult to prove that there is consensus for the new version. If you have a few minutes, could you please look over the rewrite, and offer an opinion on it? I am very open to making changes, but I'm in a situation where I basically have one editor (PHG) who keeps saying "no," and no one else seems to want to comment and help break the stalemate. We've been ] for the last month, but without success, and even our mediator appears to have gone AWOL, with no posts for over a week now. I would very much like to find a way to move forward through this dispute without having to further escalate it towards ArbCom, and it's my genuine hope that if we could just get some more editors actually commenting there to prove a consensus, it could help a great deal.

==Core competition== | |||
This is a brilliant idea. I personally think this should be done more regularly - I am certian we would see a great deal of improvement this way and is gives users an incentive to address what really needs doing and some kind of reward other than barnstars for doing it. The ] and ] are possible ones that interest me. I think of this as kind of like an investment in the project. Have you any articles which you know are shocking? ]</span> <sup>]</sup> 22:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
As yet I haven't started on those articles but I'll definately see what SPECTRE can conjure up!! Some of the articles I've found most shockingly sparse on wikipedia or been most disappointed with is articles on regions and districts within countries. Some english villge with a population of 8 people can have a full article and an article on the local church yet entire regions of countries often which cover several million sq. kilometres are barely a few lines long. I strongly agree that people need to focus far more on quality but that isn't to say that there isn't a huge amount missing from the project too. Misplaced Pages can shock you at lack of development in places and it can also amaze you at how much detail is put into certain subjects which seme trivial. One such example is we have an articles on all the ] and the ] yet serious articles like ] and ] are missing. I remember saying a while back the proportion of GAs 3000 out of 2.1 million really is appalling. FAs are difficult to obtain but there should '''definately''' be more of a focus to turn the core articles into at least a GA and many of the others too ]</span> <sup>]</sup> 23:02, 25 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
Yes there are tens of such articles I can think of off hand that you;d be amazed are missing. Many of them are overview articles which are seriously needed and highly encyclopedic such as ], ] and by country etc,, (would cover environmental policy in the national parks etc -my cousin worked there for years), ] etc, -basically real world issues which are affecting the planet today . I see somebody has realised how major the missing articles above were -that deforestation in Brazil is one of the biggest problems facing the planet today removing an enormous sink to absorb Co2 emissions. This should quite rightly not only have one article but be split into several articles on this topic alone such as Logging in .... Province etc to be more specific and detailed in exmaining such a topic. Most of the world haven't a clue about ] either -another article I stubbed but I am gradually aiming to write a feature on. ]</span> <sup>]</sup> 17:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
If you would permit me to add some of the articles which I think are core to the list- such as Mining in South Africa (this is a massive industry that affects the world economy) etc this would be a very good ide. I remember starting ] (once the worlds biggest coal exporter a while back. The missing articles which provide very important overviews of major issues around the world are not always that obvious but there are hundreds even thousands missing guaranteed and yes it is extremely concerning why these sort of articles don't exist yet when we have tens of articles on the characters of ]! I strongly agree with you I think its time to reconsider what is important in the world and to an encyclopedia of this magnitude. Hopefully this scheme could be funded on a regular basis and core articles which are either poorly developed or missing entirely can be addressed will give editors an incentive to realise what is important and help at putting it right rather than being impressed by the article count soaring. Is there some wikiproject or something that aims to address this? I think it should be made central to the wikipedia community ]</span> <sup>]</sup> 17:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
The nearest thing I can think of is the WikiProject GA group. I certainly think it would be a top idea to set up an organized formal project aiming to address the core issues we are concerned with on a permanent basis. When I'm feeling a bit better I think I'll propose something to WP Council and try to get a project set up aiming to highlight the most deficient areas of core articles and aim to set it right in an oreganized way, Hopefully you and many others would support such a move. ]</span> <sup>]</sup> 17:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC) | |||

Hi Danny. In the past few days I've seen a number of references to Veropedia on Misplaced Pages. Can you help me understand how these references—which include ], , and a Veropedia user who carries a link to an ] about Veropedia in his or her signature that was recently ]—do ''not'' constitute using Misplaced Pages for advertising purposes? The Misplaced Pages article on ] states that Veropedia is "for profit". | |||
] states "Please note Misplaced Pages does not endorse any organizations and does not set up affiliate programs. See also Misplaced Pages:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability. Furthermore, those interested in promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Misplaced Pages to do so." | |||

: WilyD , which I appreciate, and the fellow above also answered, if you call defensive sarcasm an answer. I'm not sure why Danny can't answer himself, being the owner of the entity? I am concerned about the special privilege being granted Veropedia, a for-profit entity, in the way that many casual links to Veropedia have worked their way into Misplaced Pages, and that Veropedia editors seem to be establishing an equivalence or implicit relationship between the two organizations. "We have the same goals" is not a sufficient answer when a non-profit entity promotes, or knowingly allows use of its resources to promote, a for-profit organization. If Wikimedia Inc. has sanctioned or will sanction this activity, that, indeed, would bring my issue to rest. | |||
: Anyone can re-use content, but their re-use does not normally receive the benefit of implicit approval from Misplaced Pages, nor the "halo" effect that Veropedia is currently receiving by its links on Misplaced Pages talk and user space. SWATJester, I have indeed spent more than 20 seconds examining the issue.

==The Value of Misplaced Pages== | |||
While Misplaced Pages is at 2 million articles and counting, this is no cause for celebration. Many of these articles are having some cleanup, citation or other issue that detracts from the quality of our site. As of this message, we have not even reached 1,600 featured articles and not even 3,000 decent articles. So, out of the sheer madness that we call Misplaced Pages, less than 5,000 pages have been identified with some sort of decent quality control. This is disturbing to me and it should be disturbing to you. I am not sure what will make the community wake up; a nice cup of coffee, a message like this or a swift kick in the testicles; but something has to be done. Whatever path you choose to take is completely on your own, regardless, we must do the following: Forget quantity and let's get quality. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 08:50, 9 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
There are two reasons why Misplaced Pages is far different and far better than other encyclopedias: (1) It has more articles because more people can and do create them.(2) Its articles are in a constant state of improvement because more people can and do improve them. Featured articles or "decent articles" are not part of the reason. ] (]) 19:15, 27 November 2007 (UTC) | |||

Given that the article was printed in 1898 in the ''American Anthropologist'' which was printed by American Anthropological Association, we can probably guess that's it's in the public domain in the US and various other places. Well I can empathise with your concerns about JSTOR links, wouldn't it be better to ask me (who presumably has access to JSTOR, since I used it to write the article) or someone you know has access to JSTOR to upload the article to Wikisource and link it from there? I've never used Wikisource, so I'm not sure about their licensing. Are you concerned JSTOR could get all suey over ?

== "Merge and delete is a violation of the GFDL" == | |||
Danny, I don't know what to do about this one. I'm going to need some help. See ]. | |||
Summary: an admin, Bryan Derksen, has undeleted material that has been merged with the claim that the GFDL obligates Misplaced Pages to maintain article history on all pages, including deleted ones, or we are violating copyright: | |||
<blockquote>"That text, which I hold the copyright to but have licenced to Misplaced Pages under the GFDL, is now in the Kobold (Dungeons & Dragons) article. However, if you look at that article's history, you won't see my attribution under it. Misplaced Pages "gets away" with this by considering itself to be a unitary work, so the fact that my attribution remains under the old article's history means it's still compliant. However, the moment you deleted Tucker's kobolds my contribution was no longer attributed to me anywhere in Misplaced Pages. That meant that Misplaced Pages was violating my license terms, making the article Kobold (Dungeons & Dragons) into a copyright violation. This may seem like quibbling, but really, the GFDL is fundamental to making Misplaced Pages work and so compliance is very important."</blockquote> | |||
I have re-deleted the page in question and removed the text in question until we can get office clarification on this. Bryan Derksen's interpretation of the GFDL seems completely novel to me, but I figured that you would be able to offer an authoritative opinion on this. Is he right? If so, as he says, we have an awful lot of cleanup work to start doing. ] (]) 23:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

<big>'''Now with 200% ''more'' Jewishness!'''</big><br> | |||
Yes, folks, we're moving on up. This newsletter is now the newsletter for both WikiProject Judaism, WikiProject Jewish History, ''and'' WikiProject Kabbalah. In the future, I may split them, but for now I think we'll be just fine with one. As always, any questions or comments should be directed to me, ]. | |||
<big>'''A Special Dispatch'''</big><br> | |||
Just a note, not aimed at anyone in particular. By order of the administrative cabal, it is officially not cool (and possibly ]) to call someone an anti-semite ''when'' they aren't being anti-semitic. Anti-semitic is a very charged word, and it's important only to use it when you're absolutely sure it applies, lest it become the subject of a ]. Remember Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.<br> | |||
<big>'''In the News'''</big> | |||
*A new class on the importance scale has been added- C Class- which covers articles better than start but not quite to B Class yet. It is up to the WikiProjects to decide whether to adopt them or not. Currently, there has been little discussion within our Projects, so if you feel strongly either way be sure to note so at your Project. | |||
*There is a proposal to reword the section on NPOV regarding religious articles. Please see ] to weigh in. | |||
*Thanks largely to the efforts of ], a new navbox has come into being featuring Halakha topics. See: ] to join in the conversation about how it can best be improved. | |||
<big>'''To Do'''</big> | |||
* The ] is beginning a project of creating and improving articles related to religion, including Judaism. At the present time, volunteers are needed to propose our most important subjects for articles to be created. The official working list is ] and a more extended list is ]. If you are unsure of proper topics, you might try checking our lists of top importance level articles: ] and ]. (WikiProject Kabbalah currently doesn't have such a list) | |||
:* WikiProject Christianity is considering running a monthly drive wherein two or three top importance articles from English Misplaced Pages are simplified and moved over to S.E. They have extended an offer to work with us in creating a similar project for Judaism related articles. For questions or volunteer opportunities, please contact ]. | |||

== Ram Loevy pictures == | |||
Danny, perhaps I did not make myself clear enough. Unless Mr Loevy actually took the photographs, (which would seem unlikely in several cases) the copyright is not his to assign. Please read ]. The copyright belongs to the photographer. Owning a picture is not enough. It is the photographer who must provide sufficient evidence to Misplaced Pages via the OTRS system. Details can be found at ]. The work must be freely licensed, it cannot be licensed for use on Misplaced Pages alone:<blockquote> | |||
To use copyrighted material on Misplaced Pages, it is not enough that we have permission to use it on Misplaced Pages alone. That's because Misplaced Pages itself states all its material may be used by anyone, for any purpose. So we have to be sure all material is in fact licensed for that purpose, whoever provided it.</blockquote> | |||
<blockquote> | |||
To do this, we must often email or contact the copyright holders and ask them to allow us to use it under the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) or a CC-BY-SA-compatible license and, if possible, also the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). See Misplaced Pages:Copyrights for more.</blockquote> | |||
The screenshots may be allowable under Misplaced Pages's fair use policy, more about this at ]. However you have to specifically state that it is a non free image and what its use will be (non-free use rationale). You can ask questions about this at ]. –– ] (]) 23:27, 16 March 2010 (UTC) | |||
: I just saw this discussion thread. The topic has been popular in recent discussions about how to encourage more media creators to use Wikimedia. We have to make this process easier! If a photographer has assigned all rights for a photo to someone else, under contract or otherwise, we don't need to throw up additional bureaucratic hurdles to image licensing. <span style="border:1px solid #eee;padding:0 2px 0 2px;background-color:white;color:#bbb;">–]]</span> 00:42, 18 March 2010 (UTC) | |||

Hi Danny, | |||
There have been months (years) of debate on which article should be at Cantonese, and what to call iso3=yue. ] has been stable for months now, and Angr recently closed a request for move on iso3=yue, moving it to ]. Several editors are adamantly opposed to the move, and have attempted to get it reverted; one admin refused, but today a second, ], reverted. It would seem from his comment that he did not see the move decision in the archives, but only read the counter-proposal on the current talk page, a discussion which petered out two weeks ago. Angr's decision at ]; you can see his defense of his decision on his own talk page, March archive. | |||
As you're the only admin besides Angr at Wikiproject Languages, and I see have been around a long time (though I've surprisingly never bumped into you), I thought I should let you know, in case you wish to weigh in on either side or we need yet another to help resolve this. ] (]) 07:38, 23 April 2010 (UTC) | |||

The Kahwa coffee shop is next door to that (though it did not exist during my time at the WMF. That office was on 2nd Street at the corner of 2nd Avenue '''South''', near the Publix. The actually WMF offices were also on 2nd Street, but on the corner of 2nd Avenue '''North''' in a rather nice building with the name Palais Royale (the ''e'' in Royale being a sad attempt at sounding French).

Hello. I'm a ]. A new ] regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by ] recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy. | |||
You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on '''yiwiktionary''', where you are an administrator and bureaucrat. Since yiwiktionary does not have its own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies. | |||
If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at ], and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights. | |||
We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on ]. | |||

==Language-population update project== | |||
Hi. The 18th edition of ''Ethnologue'' just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request. | |||
A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at ]. The priority articles are in ]. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old. | |||
Probably 90% of the time, ''Ethnologue'' has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim). | |||
Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by ''Ethnologue''. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article. | |||
Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by ''Ethnologue'' has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in ''Ethnologue'', you might want to use the {{tl|sigfig}} template. (First parameter in this template is for the data, second is for the number of figures to round it off to.) | |||
Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by ''Ethnologue'' and so is undated anyway. | |||
If ''Ethnologue'' does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of ''Ethnologue'', please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of ''Ethnologue'' that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old. | |||
The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the ''Ethnologue'' 17 citations are taken care of. | |||

Good job
Thank you for catching that Eisenhower and German POWs posting, which both fails on its evidence and smacks of Nazi-sympathizer historical revisionism. Sometimes Misplaced Pages seems a step away from posting Joe McCarthy's rants about the Malmeddy massacre. What next? The Berlin Airlift was a secret plot to induce Germans to accomodate their appetites to American food products? Their evidence will be forged memo by Kraft foods and clipped German newspaper coupons. Although large human suffering deserves a record, these charges also require proper evidence. Something like the solid research and strong evidence on the Holocaust.
