== Copyvio on ] and an urgent BLP issue at ] == |
|
|
|
|
|
#The ] copyvio text was added by ], Berry himself, and was brought to Berry's attention in ]. I've resisted deleting it out of respect for Berry & concern over how the deletion would be perceived. Instead, I put some ]s around it & left it as is. The current ] discussion is moving toward restoring the article as it was before ] "nuked" it, which will take care of the copyvio right there. |
|
|
#On the ] article, I sympathize with your concerns vis a vis notability. Leaving that aside, is an unsourced negative screed about Justin Berry, just short of a complete hatchet job. It commits all the classic ]s: accusing Berry of criminal & moral wrongdoing and claiming victims waiting in the wings. If you could nuke that revision, it'd be a good idea. I already reverted it. If you reply on my talk page, I'll continue the conversation there. If you reply here, I'll continue it here. --] 21:16, 3 June 2007 (UTC) |

Re #1, right, I ''personally'' don't get too upset if the copyrighted text is posted by the original author of the material. However he should realize that by posting it here he is automatically releasing it under the GDFL. If the article was to stay in that version he would have to get a ] ticket. I doubt it will stay in that version, but I don't know the article well enough to change it. |
|
|
|
|
|
Re #2, only the few admins with Oversight privilege can remove selected edits from the history. See ] for the procedure. ] 22:47, 3 June 2007 (UTC) |
|
|
*Oops, belay that. I was able to delete it; not having oversight I can't erase all trace of it, but only admins will be able to view it, which I guess is good enough. ] 22:52, 3 June 2007 (UTC) |
|
|
:*Right, per ] oversight is generally only used when the person has complained or something... never mind, consider it done. ] 22:54, 3 June 2007 (UTC) |
|
|
:::# Will Beback restored the article back the way it was before the "nuking," so the copyvio is gone. |
|
|
:::# Perfect... It looks confusing with my revert still there, but the version with the strong anti-Berry language has been done away with. While I hope the AfD closes a keep, I thank you for your help. --] 04:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC) |

I'm concerned about the implications of your speculation about why the article exists in the first place. On ], the decision (mostly between me & ]) was to spinoff the Tim Richards content to shorten up the main article. The intent wasn't to proselytize on behalf or Richards but to decrease the weight given him in the ] article. I hope this allays your concern over the creation of the article. --] 15:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC) |

== Deletion of article ] == |

I noticed you just deleted the article I was collaborating on ]. I would like to have a chance to contest your opinion properly. Why did you not nominate this for deletion?

That's absolutely overly-sensitive. Why not delete all the Wikipe-tan images, especially ]? Seems to me much more risqué. Do you dare not call that cheesecake? She may not even be wearing anything under that beach towel! --] (], ], ]) 05:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC) |

:First, child status is relative. The character in the image I referenced could be any age, and from all sorts of anime/manga/H-games it is well known that characters can be and regularly are portrayed as being any age, regardless of appearance/development (or lack of the latter). Second, this would not be the first time an image was used against Misplaced Pages; I'm sure you've seen that (possibly faked, I don't know) picture of Jimbo on a boat with a couple of babes hanging off his arms? And, of course, there are many other pictures on Misplaced Pages I would rather not have people know exist, simply because they are of an inappropriate nature. However, what you are proposing is nothing short of censorship. There is no guarantee that one image of a fictional character will portray all Wikipedians as dirty pedophiles. We have much worse things to worry about. --] (], ], ]) 06:15, 4 June 2007 (UTC) |
|
|
::I ''can'' actually understand your opposition to the picture, and you are no doubt not the only one who holds that view. There is a deletion debate on Commons. There is, as I believe has been pointed out, already an image of Wikipe-tan in a swimsuit; you may say that its nature is more innocent, but I doubt it would make much difference to a lolicon. I just want Kohikki's hard work to be respected, regardless of its nature. (Being inept at any kind of visual art, I tend to take this side.) --] (], ], ]) 19:44, 4 June 2007 (UTC) |

Hello Herostratus, could you please have a look at this page, ,] has turned my AfD into a farce. They have chopped up my last contribution to the discussion, rendering it incoherent and disjointed. One would not know were their contribution ended and mine started. They have attempted to justify there actions in the last AfD, and the contributions that they made. It takes years for a book to appear on any college curriculum, and only then, when it has assumed considerable notability. My motivation for resubmitting the article has been questioned which is clearly assuming bad faith. On your suggestion, I considered ], and raised it with you, as a result of our converstaion I renominated it, with your kind assistance. This is now being used in such a mischievious was to detract from my AfD nomination. Your help, advice or suggestions would be most welcome. Regards --] 15:29, 7 June 2007 (UTC) |

Hi. I have to say that I strongly disagree with the way you closed this AfD, as there was a clear consensus to delete, and in my opinion there is no way this can become a good article. I followed your advice in the closing statement and re-nominated the article for deletion (see ]), and there's a significant amount of pushback from editors who think that it's "too soon" to put the article up for deletion again. Perhaps you would care to comment, or otherwise advise. Thanks. ] (]) 16:36, 11 June 2007 (UTC) |

I'm not arguing against the final decision, but the statement about the "keep" arguments surprised me. It is true that one person in his keep argument urged us to give the author a break, but that was an aside -- hardly the thrust of his argument. Every keep argument there appealed to the fact that multiple independent sources attested to the notability of the resort. The deletion rationale did not address why the sources were found to be inadequate. ] 20:12, 12 June 2007 (UTC) |
