Huge kudos

I just wanted to pop by to let you know how much your hard work and diligence regarding BLP issues is appreciated. Misplaced Pages and its BLP subjects are definitely well served by your efforts, both here and via OTRS. --Jezebel'sPonyo 21:45, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Much appreciated, thank you! §FreeRangeFrog 22:13, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

RfC

I noticed you participated in the Deadmau5/Deadmaus RM and I was wondering if you were willing to leave your two cents here at Talk:Tech Nine#Requested move 2 to overturn another horrible move based on a name no reliable sources refer to the subject as. I am just trying to get consensus to move it back to Tech N9ne in the same manner Deadmau5 was moved back per WP:COMMONNAME. If you have the chance I would appreciate it. STATic message me! 16:01, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

 Done Thanks for letting me know. I cannot believe we're even arguing about these types of things. §FreeRangeFrog 19:48, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Middlesex University Logo.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Middlesex University Logo.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:05, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Please help me edit the page about "Stefan Radev (designer & visual artist)"

As there have been some messages about the page not being constructed neutral enough I would like to ask for help. The person this page is about had not a minor impact with his non commercial, but inspirational concept projects (under the concept brand VISIONS), further he contributed to the open source project OSMAND Android Navigation App with his UI creations (http://www.osmand.net/en/blog/76-osmand-100-released.html),(http://stefanradev.com/osmand-gps-app.html). http://en.wikipedia.org/OsmAnd

All references that were included are of different and reliable sources (web & print media).

Please offer a suggestion of an appropriate edit about the article in order to be compliant.

Thank you in advance.

As the boxes at the top say: This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. You need to provide citations for each of the claims in the article. See WP:CITE. This article contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information. The language is too promotional, not appropriate for an encyclopedic bio. This goes hand in hand with the lack of citations, since it seems you are providing the praise, not your sources. This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Misplaced Pages. - same thing. See WP:MOSBIO at least. Finally, if you have a conflict of interest then you need to be extra careful how you edit the article - that's why we discourage people from writing about topics they are associated with. It's difficult to maintain a neutral point of view. §FreeRangeFrog 19:59, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

To help stay awake during all the good work you do at the BLP board, cheers! Malerooster (talk) 17:56, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Like Thank you User:Malerooster! Much appreciated! §FreeRangeFrog 18:04, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

DRN needs your help!

Hi there. I've noticed it's been a while since you've been active at DRN, and we could really use your help! DRN is going to undergo some changes soon, so it'd really be great if our backlog is cleared before the start of August and we have as many people on board to help with the changes (they include a move to subpages and the creation of a rotating "co-ordinator" role to help manage things day-to-day. Hope to see you soon! Steven Zhang 11:31, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

@Steven Zhang: Thanks for the invite, I apologize that I did not remove myself from the category after I decided to stop contributing to DR, but I just don't have the time for it at the moment. §FreeRangeFrog 22:24, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

That's OK. Please feel free to pick up again when you have time :) Steven Zhang 22:36, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Fiji Airways Logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Fiji Airways Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 08:21, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Re: Disruptive editing on Ryan Braun

Hi there. My edit was removing vandalism and defamatory information by Honus34. Your reversion and warning were incorrect. I am removing the warning message if that's okay. Thank you. 24.22.129.98 (talk) 23:13, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Your revert re-added the libel you were trying to remove and also a broken image link. Make sure you know which revision you're reverting... Ajraddatz (Talk) 23:17, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I'm sorry. Looks like I took too long to examine the vandalism and I reverted the wrong edit. §FreeRangeFrog 23:24, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Totally understand, hopefully the semi-protection request will go through eventually. 24.22.129.98 (talk) 23:35, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mally Roncal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Middletown, New York (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:08, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Ping Fu (again)

Hi FreeRangeFrog, it's been a little while since you helped me on the Ping Fu article and I was wondering if you'd be able to lend a hand there again? Back at the end of May, I proposed a more detailed introduction and updated version of the article's infobox for editors on Ping's page to take a look at (see request here). One editor was happy with what I'd suggested and the only critical comment was from an editor questioning her job title at her new company, which I've since been able to provide a very clear source for. Although no-one has objected and I think the updates would be an improvement, I've not had any luck from asking if anyone there would make the changes in the article. Would you mind taking a quick look and moving the drafted updates live if you're happy to do so? Totally understand if you're busy on other things, let me know if you think there's someone else who could help. Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 22:45, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

@16912 Rhiannon: I'll be happy to help, I'll take a look on Monday and we'll get it squared away, no problem. §FreeRangeFrog 17:31, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

@16912 Rhiannon:  Done I closed your edit request on the article talk page as well. One thing - your infobox markup did not include the photograph, so I added it with the photograph. I assume that was an oversight, let me know if not. §FreeRangeFrog 21:08, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks heaps! And yep, I just hadn't included the image since it wasn't available when I first made my request (the original photo had been taken down off Commons and I don't think this had been added yet), so thanks for adding that. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 21:25, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Datadog

Hello FreeRangeFrog. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Datadog, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Article claims coverage in reliable sources. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 02:34, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Redirect

Hi FRF, I undid your redirect from Paddy McGuiness's wife to him, as I had left a tag on the article saying I was working on it. That means it is not finished, so please just wait until Inhave finished before deciding to redirect it. Thanks, Matty.007 20:30, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

It's been deleted, so no worries. §FreeRangeFrog 20:38, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Break

Dear FreeRangeFrog, Thank you for removing the biased part from the article about Volodymyr Viatrovych. Several people have tried to remove the Critique section as it contains blatant disinformation and full of Polish chauvinism. I have complained to Misplaced Pages about the author GlaubePL. Misplaced Pages support have replied that they will open up a discussion on the topic on the Bio poster board (or smth like that). I believe contributing authors may participate. I encourage you to take part in the discussion. Thank you again. Petro Mohyla — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.9.1.100 (talk) 14:23, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Dear FreeRangeFrog, Thank you very much for your valuable contribution to the BLP noticeboard discussion on the V.Viatrovych article. As you can see from the discussion GlaubePL has no intention whatsoever to adhere to Misplaced Pages standards and rules to be neutral and impartial. He is probably not aware there is more life outside the Polish borders... Anyways, thank you again. Sincerely, Petro Mohyla — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.9.1.100 (talk) 14:24, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Please keep in mind that I'm not taking "your" side in this, whatever that might be. I am concerned with the way the article presents information about a living person, that's all. §FreeRangeFrog 00:26, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, what do you think about a new version of Critique section in my sandbox ? If you think it needs some linguistic corrections feel free to do it. GlaubePL (talk) 13:45, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

@GlaubePL: Honestly that's not much better. But I'll post to the NPOV board tomorrow so you can get a second opinion. §FreeRangeFrog 21:34, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Not much better? NPOV? Come on, this is based on the academic literature from professional historians, this is not my POV. Where is this "NPOV board"? GlaubePL (talk) 15:37, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

See here. §FreeRangeFrog 16:10, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Ewa Siemaszko, Władysław Siemaszko

FreeRangeFrog, I noticed that you take care about keeping standards of BLP. So please explain me why English Misplaced Pages tolerates biased cricicism secion about Ewa and Władysław Siemaszko? There are only negative opinions quoted (positive have been silenced), some of them from doubious sources like Yaroslav Tsaruk (who is mentioned as "historian" but he is not historian at all, but the etnographer; in the citations I did in the talk page of Volodymyr Viatrovych, you can find very negative opinion on Tsaruk by professor Partacz). GlaubePL (talk) 20:33, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. If you feel those articles have the same type of problems, you are free to take the same steps I took with yours. Any editor is free to do so. You seem to be emotionally invested in this topic - all the more reason to stay away from it, because it's very difficult to maintain a neutral point of view. §FreeRangeFrog 00:23, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

FreeRangeFrog, Noone can be neutral to the mass killings and its denialism. Anyway, I will try to redact 'Criticism' section on V.Viatrovych according to your remarks (however I still don't understand some of them). GlaubePL (talk) 07:25, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

There is no "my side". I was appalled that GlaubePL used Misplaced Pages as a public forum for his petty Polish chauvinism which goes against Misplaced Pages fundamentals. It is even more valuable that you personally probably don't have a slightest idea what Glaube's emotions are all about. I thanked you not for taking "my side", but for being true to Misplaced Pages policy. Great job, I am really impressed!

Engelbertha Krupp

The notifications system should have pinged you, but just in case it hasn't, see User talk:RCasimir#Speedy deletion declined: Engelbertha Krupp. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:53, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

@JohnCD: Thank you for the heads up! Like I mentioned in the talk page, Dstrob had created this in their userpage and asked for help to "change the title", so I assisted in creating the article, reminded him of his COI, clarified the article could not be an advertisement for his book, etc. I figured it was a worthy historical topic, but never really looked into it much. If the entire notability is based on iffy evidence provided by the author's own work then it should definitely be deleted. §FreeRangeFrog 18:36, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of Engelbertha Stroebele for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Engelbertha Stroebele is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted. I have included in this nomination the related article John Joseph Stroebele.

The articles will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Engelbertha Stroebele until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the articles during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notices from the top of the articles.

(A German user made the main nomination, but did not inform people: I have bundled in the related article about ENgelbertha's husband, which evidently stands or falls with hers). Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:42, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/Serbian_traditional_music Improving Page

Hello, I am an international student at Berklee college of music and this page is my project for the class! http://en.wikipedia.org/Serbian_traditional_music Please tell me what specifically I need to do in order to not see those flags on my page anymore. I added the source when I've seen the flag. Source is the existing wikipedia page in my native Serbian language. I've just translated it to English. Thank you very much in advance! Branko Popovic — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brankodrums (talk • contribs) 02:47, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

@Brankodrums: It's not enough to translate a page and paste a link saying you're referencing an article on another language Misplaced Pages. You need to provide citations to sources that back up the information in the article. The wording of the article as it is at the moment is also inappropriate. See WP:MOS. §FreeRangeFrog 03:02, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thank you very much for your quick respond! I will do my best to improve it asap! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brankodrums (talk • contribs) 03:44, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
