BDJ evidence

Hey,

I think it would be better if you didn't paste in copies of deleted articles, just linked to the appropriate Special:Undelete page if you feel it's necessary - they were deleted for a reason, and I'd really rather not see an edit war break out on an Arbitration case (yet again).

James F. (talk) 21:43, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually the whole point is that they weren't deleted for any valid reason - there isn't a single derogatory or disputed line in that short text. Without quoting the text, that's just my word for it, with quoting the text, it's obvious. --AnonEMouse 16:09, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Maybe they "weren't deleted for any valid reason", maybe they were. Given that this class of BLP is under dispute, the appropriate action to take would be to hold off and use your better judgement. Caution is always better than rash action when tempers are heated and concerns strong. Note that when that which is "obvious" to one is not so for other people, it behoves one to taking a moment to reflect as to why that may be so, such as, for example, it not being the case.

James F. (talk) 09:05, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

The purpose of Arbitrators' opening comments, such as mine, is to suggest a profitable avenue for the case to explore. If editors wish to explore other areas in the Evidence and Workshop pages, then I will review them (of course), but the opening request provided me with only sufficient impetus to thinkg that BDJ's behaviour was the main concern.

Looking for help by an administrator

Hello!

I noticed you're an administrator and was therefore wondering, if you could help. I'm not sure how much you look at the year articles here on Misplaced Pages, but I'm sure you know of the convention that articles whose titles are just digits should be about that particular year (like 2007 for instance). However, somebody has moved 985 to 985 (year in medieval history) and 970s to 970s (Decad). I was wondering of you could help move them back, or if not, you could direct me to somebody who can. Thanks in advance /Ludde23 20:25, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

It didn't have a major effect as redirect were automatically set up, but moved back, and Moving user notified. Thanks and good luck. --AnonEMouse 20:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

As so ordered by DRV, Image:Cogny Castries Navarre.jpg is again nominated for deletion. Please see the debate at Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion/2007 June 4#Image:Cogny Castries Navarre.jpg. Regards, howcheng {chat} 21:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Japanese AV Good Article?

Hi, AnonEMouse. Since I've successfully nominated an article for deletion, I think my next Wiki-step is to try to get a Good Article. I've been improving as many of these Japanese erotic cinema articles as I can for a while now, and still have a lot of work to do on most of them. Several are shaping up fairly well, but it looks to me like Hitomi Kobayashi‎ is the one closest to potentially achieving Good Article status. I still need to flesh out information on her earlier career before nominating the article. In the meantime, when you get the chance, could you take a look at the article and give any pointers? (I've been looking for a check-list sort of guideline, but haven't had much luck.) Thanks again. Dekkappai 22:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Put it on Misplaced Pages:Peer review, that's what that's for. (See below note, conveniently enough.) That way you will (possibly) get comments from more than just me. --AnonEMouse 16:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Meanwhile:

• • Wikilink first mention of Japanese to Japan or Japanese people, whichever you mean
  • Wikilink or explain "image video"
  • 'image video' - Use "" - See Wp:mos#Quotation_marks
  • You might catch some heat for "Scanned by the editor from promotional materials" on the image - can you clarify what promotional materials these were? Magazine articles or video covers generally aren't ...
  • surprisingly modest for a pornographic actress - that's a bit POV, I'm afraid. Who is being surprised? Surely not the encyclopedia. Cite or rephrase.
  • Is there an article that talks about simulated sex in AV in general? If so, it could use a link.

... more to come ...

Thanks, Anon. "Scanned by the editor from promotional materials"-- Right. I did that a while ago, and keep meaning to fix it. It's from a catalog put out by the company advertising their videos and novels. I'll get the title and publication info when I can. Kosher, I assume? I'll get to work on the rest later. Dekkappai 17:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Benchley

Howdy! For obvious reasons, I'm kind of steppign up the process a bit on Benchley. Did you have any more significant input to add that you wanted to note? Your notes really have been invaluable. Thanks. --badlydrawnjeff talk 23:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I did promise to get back to that, didn't I? Sorry, sort of got distracted with your impending lynching and all...:-) I added more to Misplaced Pages:Peer review/Robert Benchley: even though it isn't listed on WP:PR, it isn't templated as closed.--AnonEMouse 15:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, someone archived it (I thought those stayed for a month, has it really been that long?), but looks good. i'll get to 'em in the next few days, thanks a bunch. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

My RfA ...

Hi. Thanks for supporting my request for adminship. It was successful and I am now an admin. If I can ever be of help, please let me know. Cheers, Black Falcon 06:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

ET

Thanks for all the notes. Please note urls are not always necessary for an old news article, nor does my source (Joseph McBride's Spielberg bio) does not always go into full detail. Alientraveller 17:59, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Did you catch the "work with me" part? You seem to be arguing, rather than genuinely trying to address my concerns. For example "if he is cited, he is reliable" - huh? I can cite my uncle Al, does that make him a Misplaced Pages:reliable source? Enough of one for a Misplaced Pages:Featured article, which are supposed to be the best we can offer? In this case Chris Hewitt seems to be a reviewer for EmpireOnline.com - what the heck is that? --AnonEMouse 18:57, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Felicia Fox

Hey, dumb question: how do I go about getting an article undeleted? I went to add info to the article for Felicia Fox and I find it was deleted. Article looks like it was speedied but she's notable under WP:PORNBIO as she won an XRCO award (Orgasmic Oralist 2003). TIA Tabercil 14:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, normally you ask a friendly admin, who looks at the history, and either outright undeletes it for you, or discusses with the deleting admin. But in this case, you'll be better off starting from scratch - the deleted content was a single sentence. Honest. No assertion of notability there, but you are right, a brief Google search shows she easily meets WP:PORNBIO. Here, just so you don't feel you've wasted your time posting here, I have some suggestions that will give you orders of magnitude more to work with than that deleted sentence would have:

--AnonEMouse 14:49, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I was going to add a mention on AdultFYI about Felicia's baby to the article when I found it was not longer around. I'll do the rebuild later on today. Tabercil 17:08, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

By the way, recall a few months ago I offered to nominate you for the ability to see deleted articles, among other things? :-) --AnonEMouse 15:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, yeah. I remember that. I still don't think I'm at the point where I know all that I would need to know so I'm not ready to take on an admin's fuller responsibilities, but I am definitely sliding that way. Especially since I've had a couple of sharp exchanges with others - especially over the issue of WP:FU. In time I'll stand up and go for the admin post - just not yet. Maybe come the fall... Tabercil 17:08, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

It's alive! Care to critique the reborn Felicia Fox article <G>? Tabercil 23:53, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Well done! --AnonEMouse 13:07, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Answered your question on my RfA

Hi, just letting you know that I answered your question on my Request for Administrator's status. Thanks! SirFozzie 21:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Yasmine Bleeth Picture

Thanks for obtaining the nice picture of Yasmine Bleeth. It's gratifying to see something other than her mug shot on her web page. I've given up trying to keep the mug shot from being posted, but it's very sad that that picture may have kept her from successfully continuing with her career. Thanks again.Bcsurvivor 16:09, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome - but I wouldn't overstate the importance of any one picture on her life, considering she has had so many. Does she actually say something like that anywhere? --AnonEMouse 16:12, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your kind message and best wishes, Anon. I admire you all as editors too, so it means a lot. :-) SlimVirgin 23:10, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

How right you are, I won't be touching anything controversial for a while after that monstrous distraction! Thank you so much for your support, the kind comments from other editors really helped me through. DrKiernan 13:34, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Request

Greetings. There is a debate at Misplaced Pages:Fair use review#12 June 2007 about an image of Peter Nordin. Your input there would be appreciated. All the best, – Quadell 12:33, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:TWBGB2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:TWBGB2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:06, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Ban Request

AnonEMouse, please allow me to explain my unusual request. I am requesting a ban or block on Freedomlinux for the period of 23 June 2007 through 3 July 2007. Yes, I wish for a ban to be applied to me for that time period in order to help me to maintain a Wikibreak. I find it difficult to stay away from Misplaced Pages and absolutely must Wikibreak for the sake of my mental health. Please respond on my talk if this is possible and you agree to do it. Thanks Freedomlinux 00:41, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
