Bump (2)

Any updates from User talk:MusikAnimal/Archive 12#Bump? — Revi 16:22, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

@-revi: Yes, sorry it has taken forever! I've still got numerous off-wiki projects I'm in the midst of. We can still do this, though. I'll be out of town this weekend, so let's go with next week and I'll help do the review in tandem with my other work. This time it's a promise! — MusikAnimal 16:25, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I thought you have forgot this at all :p

ps. Please keep a look at Special:Contribs/Say2718 - he is xwiki spammer and have removed lv4 warning from his talkpage. If he adds external links again, block should be given. (I already have indef'ed him on kowiki.)

— Revi 16:41, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

@-revi: I'm all ready when you are! Just head over to WP:GAN, click "start review" of the article you want to work on and hit save. Try to go for a shorter one since this will be your first. It is also custom to try to opt for older submissions in an effort to keep the backlog clean and orderly, but again don't pick anything you're not interested in. Let me know when you've got the review page up, and we'll add a subpage for us to chat on. I'm snowed in here in New York so I'll have ample time to work with you on the review :) Cheers — MusikAnimal 20:11, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Yoohoo, I browsed GAN list and there was nothing convinced me like "I have to review this!!!!" yet, so let's wait few days and I'll hopefully find my favourite. — Revi 15:13, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Longobardia

Why you protected page? censorship seems ... you have not noticed the ongoing discussion on the User talk:Cplakidas. Misplaced Pages is based on sources--95.233.199.151 (talk) 00:51, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Hallo, (and thanks to MusikAnimal for his ospitality here :-))) it's me who asked a temporary semiprotection of the article, to avoid an (already ongoing) edit warring. Please consider the following:

• The place for a discussion about an article's content belongs to the article talk page, not to an user talk page;
• According to the BRD cycle, if another user revert your changes, a discussion should start on the article's talk page and the original version of the article should stay on the article until consensus has been reached;
• What User:Cplakidas asked on his talk page makes perfectly sense. Please bring the info which he asked on Talk:Longobardia and wait for his answer;
• Keeping reverting can easily lead to your block for disruptive editing;
• If you have problem to understand what User:Cplakidas wrote, I can translate it for you in Italian;
• Bye, Alex2006 (talk) 09:42, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Re: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Kuttiattoor Thittayil Sree Daivathar Temple (2nd nomination)

The page creator, User:Daivathar, has now moved the article to Topic:Kuttiattoor Thittayil Sree Daivathar Temple. I don't know if this is a case of WP:NOTHERE, an attempt to circumvent the AfD process, gross incompetence or a bit of each. Given his history of recreating deleted articles, removing speedy templates and now an inexplicable move, I think a block is in order. What do you think? --Drm310 (talk) 19:07, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

By the way, if you're confused as to what the hell is going on, see Topic:Sadzz6ecrahbu1rh and also Misplaced Pages talk:Flow/Archive 14#Move not listed in the logs? So, the redirect wasn't exactly to a non-existent page, the page is in there somewhere, but we just can't get to it. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 23:22, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

The Topic page apparently has been deleted, or the equivalent of, so I've deleted the original location at Kuttiattoor Thittayil Sree Daivathar Temple as it was a redirect. I'll find out what's going on with the original copy to see if the AfD should be closed. Anyway considering nearly all of the user's contributions are to that page, and that page does not exist right now, I'm not sure a block is any bit preventive. We can salt the original mainspace location if need be. — MusikAnimal 23:30, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello from Admnnassau

How can delete discussion page of deleted article , because of misrepresentation and humiliation, from some users on talk page because the person whose article deleted preparing to sue wiki, because of ridicule, it is correct to delete article if it is not by policy and rules on wiki but on discussion talk page that it offends reputation of person who was subject of discussion --Admnnassau (talk) 16:09, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

@Admnnassau: You may not delete the discussion in whole or part. It must be retained for historical reasons. Who is planning to sue Misplaced Pages? You? — MusikAnimal 16:14, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Not me by myself but club and his lawyers, because of the humiliation on talk page , and that discussion page will be on google search that is the most problem, please help to solve this with some agreement--Admnnassau (talk) 16:36, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

@Admnnassau: That page is not indexed by search engines as far as I can tell. — MusikAnimal 16:42, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

But when you type in search name Danilo Saveljic you can find wiki article and discussion pages https://en.wikipedia.org/Danilo_Savelji%C4%8D15:59, 26 January 2015 MusikAnimal (talk | contribs) deleted page Danilo Saveljič (Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Danilo Saveljič (2nd nomination))18:40, 5 July 2007 MastCell (talk | contribs) deleted page Danilo Saveljič (See Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Danilo Saveljič)--Admnnassau (talk) 16:46, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

@Admnnassau: That is also not indexed by search engines. One would have to know the exact URL to find that. You've nothing to worry about. — MusikAnimal 16:50, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

We will see this days when when google refresh search , thanks for this information --Admnnassau (talk) 17:05, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

I am 100% certain it will not show up. — MusikAnimal 17:06, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Disconnected (Dry Cell album)

Hello Musik Animal, I saw the ping. I'm thankful for your patrolling, but yes...I am requesting speedy deletion for Disconnected (Dry Cell album). Thnx & Cheers! — JudeccaXIII (talk) 20:09, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

 Done I had retracted my comment as I thought maybe you wanted to get broader input first. Anyway the article has been deleted, let me know if you'd like it restored :) — MusikAnimal 20:30, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate the speedy response & action. Thanks for the deletion. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 21:36, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello from Keepitreal2

Howdy. I understand I am to ask you to unprotect a page you protected before posting the request on the designated page for these things. Can you please unprotect Missori Excutive Order 44 In reading what the two editors posted I can see why you granted thei request. However they came at you under false pretenses. These two have consistently teamed Awarded on Mormon issues in a light that is explicitly POV in an un-ture light. I ask that you take the time to read through their talkpage and userpage histories. As well as my talkpage. I have been falsely accused on many accounts. Not continuing to say the same thing over and over is in no way refusing to talk. They continue to remove verifiable, scholarly edits just because they don't like them. The request to Indefinitely lock or protect this page speaks as to their motives. Keepitreal2 (talk) 21:45, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

@Keepitreal2: Your account is autoconfirmed. You are able to edit the article. As for the content dispute, I don't a single edit from you at Talk:Missouri Executive Order 44. That is where discussions about that article should take place. Hope this helps — MusikAnimal 21:55, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Special Barnstar
	For your great work on this place and for the fact you occasionally IAR It's nice to see an admin who isn't a robot and who doesn't stick to every word and letter of a policy/policies! Anyway keep up the great work :), –Davey2010 02:57, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Why thank you! Yes, in some cases going by the book isn't best. Thankfully we have this lovely little clause to let us get things done quicker and avoid unnecessarily taxing the system :) — MusikAnimal 03:04, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

You're more than welcome :), Haha you have everything figured out eh , Have a great day! :), Cheers, –Davey2010 21:30, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

The Animal

Extend PC time? --George Ho (talk) 04:11, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

@George Ho: For starters, I don't like the idea of going around adding pending-changes protection to every article that gets a little bit of vandalism here and there. A single article with a high edit rate clogging the PC backlog is the same tons of low edit rate articles under pending-changes protection. Furthermore applying any form of protection goes against the core philosophy that anyone can edit, and as such it should be avoided except when absolutely necessary. Occasional vandalism is normal for any popular wiki. This article in particular has experienced an especially low level of disruption (one instance since October possibly made in good-faith), and none going back months prior is it any bit severe, such as BLP violations. There was the ongoing "derpy derp" vandalism, but I can take care of that by other means. Formally declining your request, and I'd hope other admins would agree. I'm sorry if I sound harsh but you seem to frequently request pending-changes protection. The issue is that at first glance PC seems perfectly appropriate given the low-edit rate, but you may be missing the big picture. Of course all just my opinion... Best — MusikAnimal 04:49, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Why does frequently-edited page, same-sex marriage in the United States, get PC, while this doesn't? --George Ho (talk) 04:56, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

I think the edit rate is probably too high on that article, although most edits appeared to be from confirmed users. I'll to talk to the protecting admin about that. As for The Animal, I've thoroughly explained why I am declining the request. Here we haven't had really any recent vandalism at all. I protected way back when because of the derpy derp disruption which appears to have ceased. I also didn't think to add it to an edit filter, which will solve that problem once and for all. Anyway what I'm trying to convey to you is more about the philosophy behind avoiding protection altogether, despite if it seems to fit the criteria. I would hate for one day seeing that "Accepted" box at the top-right of an article to be the norm. — MusikAnimal 05:06, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello from Ecepeliter

Hello,

My previous page (:Contemporary Istanbul) has been deleted by you. I am fully aware of your reasons.

Contemporary Istanbul is an international art fair and quiet established, premier art fair of the region, Istanbul. Also, this year, Contemporary Istanbul's 10th anniversary. This is not an exact advertisement of a corporation. It is really important for people to know Istanbul and its cultural side.

If you allow me to write on this subject, I will be glad.

Thank you, Ecepeliter (talk) 12:38, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

@Ecepeliter: Hey there! Your article was deleted because it did not make a claim of significance, and to make matters worse was completely unsourced. I've looked into the topic, and I actually think it may meet our notability guideline. We'll have to dive deeper, however. Let's start up a draft article, so we don't have to worry about it being immediately deleted. Your article is now available at Draft:Contemporary Istanbul. Let's keep a few things in mind (1) try to include sources for all information. See WP:REFBEGIN on how to add references. (2) Try to maintain an encyclopedic tone. We don't want to make it sound like we're trying to encourage readers to attend the festival. Just state the facts and disregard any opinions.Before we add more content, let's first try to compile a list of sources that help establish the subject's notability. I've done a Google custom search and found a good amount of sources here. Go through them and look for news organizations, newspapers, etc, as those are considered reliable. Once you think you've found enough reliable sources, let me know and we'll work on the article together. Best — MusikAnimal 16:38, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Changes to Disarm by the Smashing Pumpkins

Hi. You are wrong about reversing the changes I made, although I do understand that it would be hard to believe for you that substantial parts of these songs were composed and recorded into a taperecorder in the 1980's by me (Raghu V. Acharya) back when I lived in Madison and DeForest WI, in my pre-teen and teenage years. These songs somehow got into the hands of other artists and I have yet to be compensated. It is dubious that all these songs came out in the 1990's after I took a Study Abroad trip to India in my Junior year of college. They think I just left for good. I will leave it at that, but all of these songs (and a few more) are substantially mine. Please don't delete this post, and do have a good day. -Raghu V. Acharya St. Paul, MN. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.91.184.189 (talk) 19:25, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

I never said you were wrong, I just said your addition to Disarm was unsourced. See WP:REFBEGIN on how to add references. If you are unable to produce a reference, I'm afraid the content cannot be added. Everything needs to be verifiable, especially something contentious like this.

Funding vandal

Hi Musik, 67.236.190.180 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) is picking up where 67.236.182.55 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) left off, namely the addition of unsourced, badly formatted "funding" content. Both IPs originate from Warsaw, Indiana ISP: CenturyLink. Examples of new IP's edits: 2 edits, 2 edits. Thanks for looking into this. If you need anything, ping me. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:56, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: Blocked for one week. I don't want to go much beyond that as it could just as easily be a throwaway and they'll move on to the next IP. Sounds like the disruption is not that frequent, so blocking on a case by case basis may be best. However if it continues and is specific to certain pages we can consider semi-protection. Thanks for keeping an eye on it! — MusikAnimal 21:08, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Coolio. Thanks MA. Although I will point out that the first time around it was a fairly comprehensive range of articles, and when the articles were protected, I believe he went to talk pages. He did that here today, although that article wasn't protected. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:25, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

I might be being paranoid...

But a newly created user, User:Gertude Seagars, contested the G10 speedy of Raina Mittal (" I think this is preposterous. Why would you delete such quality information."). This account was created at 10:42, 29 January 2015. Another user, User:Gertude Seagar, was created at 10:41, 29 January 2015 - one minute earlier. The older account has no edit history, but it makes me suspicious of a possible sockpuppet/vandal. But there's nothing to report to WP:SPI or WP:AIV. Is there any way to see if either user or WP:DUCK socks created the attack page in the first place? --Drm310 (talk) 17:03, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

@Drm310: Undoubtedly the same person, but without contributions I wouldn't consider it abuse of multiple accounts, even though they're likely WP:NOTHERE to begin with. Maybe they accidentally forgot the "s" in their name on the first account creation so they just made a new one. — MusikAnimal 17:07, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello from 87.122.126.63

REPLACE THIS TEXT WITH YOUR MESSAGE 87.122.126.63 (talk) 17:12, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

The Motto of the German Army was since the German Empire "Gott mit uns", the Bundeswehr change that in 1962 to "Einigkeit, Recht, Freiheit". The Oberste Heeresleitung never change that for the Wehrmacht. "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer" was the Motto of the Nazi-Party, please don´t mix the Wehrmacht with the Nazi Party.
