== Deletion Review Request ==


Hi, I found the page created by me on Book ] has been deleted by you citing a reason as Promotion. It was purely about the book & nothing else. Let me know the objectionable part of the content. I request you to review this deletion. Thanks.


== Invitation to participate in a research ==
: Well, there were a lot of things wrong with this article. First, its tone was promotional of both the book and its sponsor (e.g. calling it "insightful", "building a strong case", "credited for adopting innovative good governance practices" etc., all of which are statements of opinion). Second, at least the full first paragraph was copy-pasted from the publisher's blurb here (which both explains why it was so promotional in tone, and signifies that it was a copyright violation). Third, nothing in the article demonstrated how and why the book was ], so even if you were to recreate it in a cleaned-up way, you'd very likely face another deletion proposal soon enough. ] ] 12:06, 15 July 2013 (UTC)


Hello,
:Agree with your concerns. Actually no intention to promote publisher. I wrote, as I'm reading it. I know, i rushed to publish it before citing few more sources & putting it in neutral words. Your quote, "...so even if you were to recreate it in a cleaned-up way, you'd very likely face another deletion proposal soon enough". Does that mean one should create articles about popular author's work only? Isn't there any scope for letting people know about some good books by less familial authors. Its not a fancy fiction, it talks about serious reforms need to undertake for strengthening democracy.


The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.
== Re-VibhintaVerma.jpg image Problem ==


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
Hi, The vibhinta verma image has not yet published anywhere online, It is perfectly safe to use it on Misplaced Pages. There will be no copyright issue at all. and there will be no problem in future regarding copyright. ]


The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .
== Steve Hodges ==


Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Hi, Steve Hodges gave permission for his official photo to be used on Misplaced Pages the day before the election. He lost the special election for congress so I doubt that we will have a photo of him available again. The note that he gave his permission to use the photo was in the boxes under the photo and on the talk page. without the one picture of him, the special congressional election for MO_08 at Misplaced Pages looks very biased for the man elected. I admit that I have trouble trolling through the wp jargon and do not understand all the image permissions, but it seems that to keep the unbiased nature of wp and because he sent written permission, the photo of Steve Hodges for Congress 2013 should be returned to Misplaced Pages, but by somebody with a greater understanding of wp permissions...like you perhaps. thank you!


Kind Regards,

Hi. I added a picture of many Thessaloniki landmarks but it was changed again. I think this high resolution picture that shows 6 Thessaloniki landmarks is much better than just the White Tower.

At least the truth came out because of this discussion in at least one topic, because you cared to check the topics and background, you found out that the columns of Hagia Sophia were not 23 meter. You did a really good job there, if you would not have noticed the error it would probably go unnoticed, not for the next 5 years but 50 years maybe for ever. ] (]) 19:12, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

I am now thinking, it was not good that you corrected the height of the columns. The truth is that they are not 23 meter, but the truth itself is not important in Misplaced Pages, the views of the Misplaced Pages "users" are what really matter. So it would be better if you would leave it as 23 meter, in accordance with numerous other articles where exactly the same is the case. After all 23 meter was the view of a user but the views of some users in Misplaced Pages are more valuable than others so you could change it. ] (]) 19:40, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

:Besides you were the first one to block me, I have been blocked four times since my time on Misplaced Pages. By two admins however both of them were unjust. You had unfairly blocked me for edit warring on ], but I was actually restoring rightly info of the source. After the block I was not busy anymore on that page but still other users supported my view and in the end the pov pusher source distorting user was blocked and the sentence was restored.

:My second block comes much later when I was falsely accused by two canvassing Greek users who disliked me for creating a Greek army massacre of Turkish civilians, they did a lot of false accusations, and I was blocked again for restoring sourced info, later they blocked me again when I complained against admins of their behavior.

:Later an unrelated Armenian out of sheer hate, falsely accused me, but the ironical thing was that you protected me there, why really? What does it matter? Why did you not gave them fun to block me? But now you are ignoring me for what reason? Besides I would like to know what you think of my topic ban after 10 days when the discussion was already in archive?

:But in the end they are persistent in blocking me and so show the battle ground mentality which they complain of me but it doesn't matter, I do not care for their blind childish hate. A proverb says injustice does not last forever but maybe it does on Misplaced Pages.:) ] (]) 01:01, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

I found a modern Shahnameh artwork here http://pic.persian-man.ir/shahh-name/%D9%85%D9%86%D8%B8%D8%B1%D9%87%20%D9%86%D8%AE%D8%AC%D9%8A%D8%B1%DA%AF%D8%A7%D9%87%20%D9%88%20%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B8%D8%B1%D9%87%20%D8%A8%D9%87%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%85%20%DA%AF%D9%88%D8%B1%20%D8%A8%D8%A7%20%D9%83%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%B2%D9%83%20%DA%86%D9%86%DA%AF%D9%89/

It is created by the same person who made this: http://translate.google.dk/translate?sl=fa&tl=en&prev=_t&hl=da&ie=UTF-8&u=http://fa.wikipedia.org/%25D9%25BE%25D8%25B1%25D9%2588%25D9%2586%25D8%25AF%25D9%2587:Siavash.jpg (Sent you a Google translate link so you can read what it says)

: Well, somebody on fa-wp slapping some random template on an image (probably without reading it) is not a reliable source for a person's birth and death dates. Fa-wp is notoriously unreliable anyway. You will need to find out who the painter is, and finding independent reliable evidence for when he lived and when his work was published. ] ] 15:03, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

== ''Bad taste'' ==

Everyone has his own opinion about something, no need to act like a child and tell me that i have a ''bad taste'', you are admin, act like one. --] (]) 17:58, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

: Look. ] looks like it's taken from a cheap video game designed for male teenagers with inferiority complexes. Some 16-year-olds will undoubtedly appreciate fantasy worlds filled with very virile men with ''very big'' muscles, wielding ''very big'' swords, straddling ''very big'' dragon tails right between their legs, and wearing a tiger mask in front of where their johns should be. Some people might also savour the idea of using the memory of a medieval Persian hero in that role. Fortunately, not every Misplaced Pages reader is a 16-year-old male with that kind of issue over their own virility. We are still an encyclopedia, not a video gaming website, so that picture goes out. ] ] 18:07, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

First off, i am not 16 years old if you are trying to tell that. Second, as i said before everyone has his own opinion, it may look like a video game to you, but it does not look like that to me, i have even seen it from Iranian TV channels, oh let me guess, they are 16 years old too? --] (]) 18:13, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

::::I assume the bad taste has nothing to do with deletion because of copyright violations. Your taste doesn't play any role in when deciding to delete an image (without any warning): I assume it is only the copyright infringement why pictures are removed directly; not because they are bad. (how true that very probably is). Just 'sharing' in this discussion when I revisited this page to see an answer on a question I had asked (see below) and couldn't find it. Cheers, ] (]) 21:47, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
::::: No, indeed, the discussion I'm having here with H.o.I. has nothing to do with my admin work on copyright issues; it's just an editorial disagreement over what images are appropriate content-wise. We are not talking about deleting anything, just about not using it in some articles. (Although H.o.I. also had some issues with other images that were copyright problems and had to be deleted.) ] ] 21:50, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

== Missed your reply - if any- ==

Hi FPaS,
Few days ago I wrote you a question on deletion of two images I had added for my article on ].
As I didn't have time before to check if you had replied via your own Talk page (as it was clearly not in my talk page) I tried to find it but your talk page is 'cleaned up' and I couldn't find the data (added on 4 July 2013 at 02:23 GMT) in an archive.
Did you reach to my questions? And if so: where can I find it?

My question was:
Deletion of two pictures used in article on Dell PE VRTX (as a new section on this page)
PS: As you seem to clean up your talk page very fast (due to high volume I assume) please reply via ] if possible.
Many thanks, ] (]) 21:40, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
:: thanks for your reply. It's clear now for me, although I'm not completely convinced of the 'obviously wrong' statement; but that is besides this discussion. For me the discussion is closed now and again thanks for the feedback. ] (]) 19:11, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

== Picture deletion question ==

Hello. I'm the subject of the photo "]" which you recently deleted quoting (F7: Violates non-free use policy). I tried to follow WP instructions correctly - although they're extremely confusing - but I'm no expert at photos and have failed. I've no wish to violate copyright but I do have permission from the photographer to use the picture on WP and it is my current headshot (as you can imagine, for an actor it's important that these are kept up to date). I'd be very grateful if you could advise me how to use the photo, since many other actors on WP seem to manage it. Also, any advice or help on removing the citations box, since there are now plenty of citations? Many thanks in advance.

: Hello. From what you wrote, it unfortunately didn't appear like you had a fully free license for the picture, i.e. one that allows anybody to re-use it, not just on Misplaced Pages but also elsewhere. Such a license is required for use on Misplaced Pages because of our free-content policies. As long as it's not fully free, it falls under our rule that we won't use non-free images of living people, given that a new fully free one could always be created instead. ] ] 22:53, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

== Scythians ==

I have some sources that says the Scythians were of Iranian origin, may i ask why i can't post them? --] (]) 18:53, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
: For Pete's sake, it's already in the article, right in the first sentence, with three high-quality sources, and again in the "archaeology" section, with several more; what else do you want? The stuff I pruned the other day was a link to that Farroukh website. I told you why that one is unuseable. This article works with actual academic print sources, and it's being developed by people who are willing and able to go to a library and actually read and understand high-quality academic print sources. If you are not willing to do that, don't meddle. We are not going to water down the article to your favourite level of cheap amateur website junk. ] ] 19:19, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Ok, let's ignore the Kaveh farrokh site, what about the others then? --] (]) 19:21, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
: Which were they? Honestly, I don't remember we discussed any others. And what do you need them for? As I said, the basic claim is already well sourced. ] ] 19:22, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

We didn't discuss about other sources, but there were more than one source when i posted it on the Scythian article if you didn't notice when you removed it. --] (]) 19:24, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
: Ah right, I see now. Somebody had ref-bombed that sentence with as many as 8(!) footnotes. Now, whenever I see more than three footnotes in a row, I know for certain that an article has been in the hands of POV-pushers. It is never, ever, appropriate to put in that many refs for a single, simple statement of fact. Use one, two, maximum three refs, but use high-quality ones. Among the eight that I saw there, at least four were blatantly unsuitable (Farroukh, plus two from an amateur website called "ancient.eu.com" and one from another called "history-world.org"; a fifth was from Britannica online, which is also not our first choice when higher-quality alternatives from the academic literature exist. One of these pages was even a freaking Misplaced Pages mirror! It said so right at the top. Seriously, don't you even read the pages which you add as "sources"?) So I pruned the low-quality ones and left the best ones in. I don't think I removed anything else of significance in that edit. ] ] 19:32, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Well if it's like that then Misplaced Pages have some serious problems, because i have many times seen more than 8 sources in a row. --] (]) 19:51, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
: Well, yes, we undoubtedly have too much rotten quality editing, especially in history articles like this one. But there's still also the issue of the quality of each source. In this case it was uncommonly poor. ] ] 19:54, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

: Well, the crucial idea is that you should give your view on why you ought not to be sanctioned, so refuting the accusations made by Qwyrxian would be one way of doing that. Another would be to provide assurances that you have understood what was wrong about your editing and make a clear commitment to change. What you should not try to do is to make lengthy arguments about the content issues at question. ] ] 15:21, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

{{hat|not a good idea to continue this}}
It is pointless to close part of ] because the third proposal does not change the sanctions in any way. All of the provisions of that proposal are already in place. It is not clear to me that the sanction appeal would not be successful if allowed to run its course. No one has opposed (or supported) the second proposal. Four editors opposing the first proposal is not very many and could easily be overturned by a dozen supporting. ] (]) 17:10, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Would you like it to end there, or would you prefer to keep behaving like an egotistical child until you get a full site ban? I think a case could be pretty easily made, the community is sick to death of your troublemaking and constant whining. The best thing you can do, for yourself and for Misplaced Pages is ]. I don't know how you could be so ] as to not see that you are making things worse for yourself with your current behavior, but you are. Check your behavior.

: Hmm, I see that you made two separate cases here: on the file page itself, you described the image as non-free and were trying to make a case for how it passes the ]. However, this was doomed to fail, because the person in question is alive, so he falls under our general rule that with living persons, barring some very unusual exceptional circumstances, it would always be possible to create a new alternative image, which its creator could then release under a free license, so a non-free image will always fail the replaceability test. On the file talk page, you were talking about the licensing status of the file, arguing that the use on Facebook implied a license for reuse; however, whatever the meaning of that Facebook rule is, it certainly doesn't constitute a fully free license of the type we require, so we're back at square one.

: Please stop rules-lawyering about this. Soft redirects were never meant for uses like this. Just because the ] page forgot to explicitly specify this particular type of bad idea still doesn't make such a link a legitimate redirect.

::::The first paragraph of the article is a general description of the intent of soft redirects. There is no restriction mentioned there about going only to wiki projects and the second paragraph reinforces that. The second paragraph says "particularly likely to be used when redirecting users across Wikimedia sister projects" The interpretation being pushed that "only links to sister projects is permitted" is not the same as "particularly likely" as stated in the article. Some discussion on ]. The use I am pushing here is not common but I don't see any documentation anywhere that it is not permitted if it has value to the project, which I believe, of course, that it does. --] (]) 00:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
::::: I am off to bed and I don't really feel like debating this rather silly case of ruleslawyering further. So far, all I can see is a unanimous consensus that these links were an outrageously bad idea, and if the letter of the policy texts is found to be leaving a loophole for it and you will insist on invoking that loophole, then the policy texts will have to be tightened so as to make sense again. If you can find any other administrator who thinks these links are legit, they are free to undo my deletions and reopen the case at RfD, but it will be a waste of time for everybody involved because deletion there is ultimately certain. ] ] 00:07, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Latest revision as of 00:13, 19 November 2024

Note: I like to keep discussion threads together, so if you leave a message here I will usually respond here. If I have begun a discussion on your page, I'll see it if you respond there.

A {{ping}} would be appreciated if you reply at a later date. {{Talkback}} notes here will generally not be needed.

Note to new and non-logged-in editors: Due to a long-term issue with vandalism, this talkpage has unfortunately had to be semi-protected. If you need to contact me and can't post here, please just post your message on your own talkpage or the talkpage of the relevant article and add the code "{{ping|Future Perfect at Sunrise}}" to it, then I'll be sure to see it.

Hello fellow Wikipedians, due to changed circumstances in my private and professional life I am currently hovering somewhere in between "busy in real life and may not respond quickly to inquiries" and "semi-retired". I'll probably be around from time to time, but please don't rely on me for quick admin action or the like, for the time being. All the best, – Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:27, 19 October 2017 (UTC)


Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Reverts

If I come across one of their additions to RSN would it be helpful if I pinged you? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 20:50, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, but I guess it's enough to get them reverted promptly – if they then start revert-warring it back in, there should be enough admin eyeballs on that page to push the block button eventually, right? It doesn't have to be always me. That person is a pest (I suppose you're familiar with their LTA entry?), thanks for helping deal with them. Fut.Perf. ☼ 23:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
I looked it up after their recent posts, I'll keep an eye out for them. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 23:27, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
