Swans
Hi, I merely added a simple adjective, edible. Swans ARE edible. I've eaten them myself. I thought the article should reflect that. I wasn't aware that I had to have approval to edit an article or that I had to discuss my edit before hand with others, smacks of 1984 to me!
Fr33kman (not logged in) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.198.138.160 (talk) 03:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
AfD closure
K, I suggest that you leave the thread regarding your closure of the AfD which you archived here on this page for a while longer. Several editors are upset that no reason has been given, and it's likely that you will continue to receive questions over the next day or two about it. It'll be easier for them to find if it's left here.
While we're on it, I also strongly suggest that you rethink your decision to not provide any rationale for your decision. For starters, it was a hotly debated discussion, so providing an explanation is common courtesy. It also will help answer the inevitable arguments at WP:DRV and clarify what policy (or policies) was violated, so similar problems will be avoided in the future. It also goes a long ways towards building good faith, and trust in admins and the AfD process.
I admit that I'm concerned that you expressed your rationale being that "the 'delete' votes held more weight". AfD decisions should be primarily based upon policy rather than a vote of how many users desire to keep or delete, even if that vote is weighted. I may have misunderstood what you meant by that statement, so elaborating upon your rationale would help clear that up as well.
Thanks. Tijuana Brass (talk) 03:38, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think she meant more weight in terms of policy not numbers. Thats how I use the phrase. Viridae 03:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Well, if the admin would have included a detailed--or even a perfunctory--policy-based rationale along with her decision, then we wouldn't be guessing what she "meant," would we?--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 04:13, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
What the heck
What on earth are you thinking? (1) Cutting swaths of text out of Misplaced Pages pages with no edit summary is plain vandalism. (2) Talk about a busher move. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the freaken kitchen. Herostratus (talk) 05:23, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm talking about your removal of text from the Misplaced Pages page User talk:Keilana, specifically the removal of questions from people unhappy with your close of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Adult-child sex (2nd nomination), with no edit summary except "fnord". This page is for furtherance of the Misplaced Pages's goals and not your own personal web page. Archiving or removal of vandalism or other inappropriate material is one thing; removal of legitimate communications with no reply is rude. If you feel you can't bear to see such things, you shouldn't be closing difficult AfD's with no rationale.
Sorry to be so harsh. I'm concerned lest the close be overthrown for lack of rationale. Herostratus (talk) 18:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Sorry, really. I'm I guess a bit overwrought by the thing. Herostratus (talk) 03:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for your forgiviness. I guess you really did step into a snakepit. That was brave. Herostratus (talk) 03:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- No hard feelings on my part, no. I look forward to working with you in future. Herostratus (talk) 03:23, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Vin DiCarlo
Hi, I see you speedy deleted this article. Can you please restore it to my userspace. Though I was not a contributor to the article I do recall briefly skimming over it once or twice, and I'm pretty sure it did assert his significance. If not, this can easily be rectified if it is restored as he has been featured in the media numerous times at the very least (just simply from those that I'm aware of). Anyway, I'd like to look over the past form of the article. Thanks. Mathmo 07:27, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
AFD closure rationale
Keilana, please state your rationale for closing Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Adult-child sex (2nd nomination) the way you did, either here or at the deletion review page. I don't think you'll need to vigorously defend it, but a lot of people are requesting an overturn purely because you haven't explained yourself. As an admin, being communicative is part of your duty. In a large, hotly contested debate like this, many people in the community feel upset and contentious, and an explanation of your decision will do a lot to help the rift heal afterwards. After such a contentious debate it would be absolutely terrible if the decision was overturned simply because you don't explain yourself. Mangojuice 17:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- I really do urge you to offer an explanation - I fail to understand your closure without it, as do many people at the DRV. I see you've been online since many requests, and it's disapointing that so far you've declined to comment. Ryan Postlethwaite 04:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- Its on the talkpage of the DRV. 04:18, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I hope you don't mind

Corey Clark
Hi, I have a question. Over the course of the past year, I've learned more about how sources about living persons should be those other than self-published ones, particularly in regards to material in the article that may be self-serving. Today I had cause to make some edits to the Corey Clark article, and remembered that a year ago, a user used Clark's own published e-book as the basis for a number of passages in that article. This user's goal was to rewrite the article to remove anything she perceived as negative, and place positive POV material in it, without regard for WP policies, which led to a heated back-and-forth between us. The e-book was no longer available for purchase at that point, and those of us who tried to bring the article into like with policy had to take her word that her transcriptions were accurate. Our disagreement was eventually settled, and I don't want to reignite it, so would you mind looking over the article, and giving your honest third opinion as to whether it merits the {{self-published}} tag? Clark's book is cited as the second source listed under References, and then three other times after that, with footnote links to the relevant passages. Thanks.

Ziyi Zhang definitely wasn't nominated for Best Actress in 2006 (for the year 2005). She was nominated for a globe and a SAG for her performance in Memoirs of a Geisha, but not an Academy Award.

I am glad to see you came by the Singh article as another Admin also has and others too recently. I am going to take a break since I have had enough personal insults and racial slurs thrown at me that it has left a really bad taste in my mouth. Please make sure the article is not hijacked and taken over for a poltical agenda.
I was really upset and erased all of my contributions to the article but admin Utcursch reverted them back and told me he will also keep an eye on things as well, Utcursch has cleaed up the article and has really done a great job with all the work I put into gathering the information, I really am grateful for his/her effort. I appreciate Admins getting involved because others people like myself can do very little except to add legitimate information, try to put together a neutral academic piece, but their is only so much abuse one can take from religious fanatics with political agendas.
Again Thank you for stopping by and I hope you continue to keep an eye on things.

I just discovered that you're the person who finally deleted the longstanding mess/POV magnet that was the adult-child sex article. I just had to say thank you - I wouldn't have wanted to close that AfD myself, but someone had to do it, and as far as I can see you made entirely the right decision. It seems you did face some criticism for it, but I just hope that won't put you off making similar tough, controversial, but correct decisions in future.
Anyway, I don't normally like these things, but I think you deserve this:

Recent deprods I made to reprods you made (does that make sense?)
Hello, just wanted to let you know, I'd originally deprodded a number of articles that the vandal Lumberjake had removed the prod tag on before, because technically anyone can remove a prod to contest it. But as it became clear that his deprods were simply vandalism, and he was now blocked for doing it, I undid all those deprods (those articles all do deserve a prod). Just wanted to clear up any confusion in your talk page history. -- Atama 00:33, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Page protection
Keilana, can you please explain why you have semi protected the page Huma Abedin ? You have stated vandalism which is clearly not the case! Please see Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard where the matter is being dealt with ! Can you explain your actions ? I understand I am new here but it was one of the first pieces of information i have cont. to wikipedia there has been no decision made, I can not understand your actions !
Having now had the rules for vandalism explained to me I believe you have abused your power as my contib. clearly dosent fit any of the terms ? I ask you to reaccess your actions.
- The decision was made at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_page_protection#Huma_Abedin_.28edit.7Ctalk.7Chistory.7Clinks.7Cwatch.7Clogs.29. Its common practice during an edit dispute such as this for an uninvolved admin such as Keilana to semi-protect the page to reduce the intensity of the dispute. In any case, from the tone of Misplaced Pages:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Gossip_magazines_as_reliable_sources it seems that semi-protection was the right call to stablize the article while discussion continued there and on the talk page of the reliability of sources. MBisanz 05:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I would question how uninolved you actally are give these messges left on my talk page: And don't worry! You'll be able to edit that page in 5 days! Enjoy! —BoL 04:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
And by waiting for five days is by just waiting and you'll be able to edit the semi-d pages. Don't worry, give Keilana some time! She's offline right now, and so am I. —BoL 05:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:100%25freehuman"
I intend on asking someone to examine your actions. You clearly statd vandalism as your reason for the protection i would not you made no contibution to the talk page and sort no concensus from you action! I will also ask you to explain you relastionship to those who have sort to remove the information ? I would also like to know why you have changed you id ? thanks I will be adding this information to the talk page and any were else i find help ! I also note you did not add the fact the matter was being listed to protection page to the talk page of the article ?
I did not create the name of the page in regards to gossip mag tittle had you read the info you would understand Hillary Clinton was interviewed for the article.
- To request unprotection, please go here Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_page_protection#Current_requests_for_unprotection. To ask for Keilana to be examined(?) I'd wait for her to respond here, and if your not satisfied, there is the Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard. I leave the personal inquiries for Keilana to answer is she desires to. MBisanz 06:13, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Responded on the editor's talk, thanks MB. Keilana| 06:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I would like to know how the article was brought to your attention I would also advise you that i have posted this information on the talk page of the article.
Thank you Dear MBisanz, thank you so much for responding to those concerns on my talk page. I've posted on the person's talk, if s/he wants my admin actions looked at s/he can always seek input at AN or (God forbid) through recall.

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:MBisanz"
and your atual post:
Hello, Sorry I couldn't attend to your concerns earlier. I semi-protected the page (here) because of the reasons stated there. As it is election season in the United States, articles about prominent political figures such as Mrs. Clinton are particularly vulnerable, hence the protection. There was a dispute over the reliability of sources, and I protected the article to cool the dispute. Protection isn't an endorsement of the current version, I have no ulterior motive. (see here for protection policy/information). In general, an admin doesn't need consensus to protect a page when a dispute is ongoing. Is there a problem with my administrative actions? Thanks for expressing your concerns, feel free to ask on my talk page if you have other questions or need something. Best, Keilana|Parlez ici 06:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Who bought the information to the protect board ? Should not the fact it was brought to the board have been added to the talk page so people could provide information as to why it shouldnt be protected ?
