Jabari Parker's high school career

You just G4ed Jabari Parker's high school career. The AFD and DRV were for a 49 KB version. I trimmed it down to 33 KB, so it is not a recreation. It is a streamlined version that must be AFDed for deletion.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:56, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Note G4 says "This excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version, pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies, and content moved to user space for explicit improvement (but not simply to circumvent Misplaced Pages's deletion policy)."--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 01:02, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

From the original AfD, it appeared that the issue with the article was not its length or its content per se, but that it was unnecessary to begin with, and that (some of) the information should be in his main article rather than a separate one. ... discospinster _talk 03:14, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

This is a greatly revised article and the commentary on the prior version is likely not relevant on the current version of the article, which is why G4 says it is not to be used on greatly revised articles. I believe an AFD would yield a very different result in this case. There were many types of arguments in the AFD. Some were that the article notable as presented, some were that it was unnecessary, some were that it was overly detailed. This is a completely different article. Given my track record with recreating formerly deleted articles (12 current WP:GAs as you can see in my talk page header), I think I am entitled to the benefit of the doubt and at least a full AFD reconsideration. Also note that some of the arguments that it was unnecessary were made before the main article was trimmed down and when there were greater redundancies.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:16, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Fair enough, I will restore the article. ... discospinster _talk 13:20, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Please restore talk too.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:47, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Please explain why you assume that Ukraine was dominated by Polish Commonweal

Please explain why you make such assumption. It is offensive and not objective. Simple you looking for support statement that Ukraine needed to fight for independence. In fact it was just political war of Cossacks for political rights not a national issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.171.96.18 (talk) 22:31, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

I did not make any such edit. ... discospinster _talk 23:03, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Soliciting comment...

Hi! Would you care to review or comment/vote (support/oppose) at my FA nomination for the article New York Dolls (album)? Information on reviewing an FA nomination's criteria is available at WP:FACR. If not, feel free to ignore this message. Cheers! Dan56 (talk) 01:14, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Femen/Euromaidan/Odessa

Since you did not like the FEMEN update I first did, I have clarified it further by adding a link to a post where a Femen leader states that Ukrainian Femen activists still work with Maidan. And I clarified that there is no direct evident that Femen actually participated, even though Ievgeniia Kraizman posted a photo of herself in front of a fire that day.

Windows XP's source

Hello, Discospinster

I am calling about your revert of User:查理咬我的手指 in Windows XP article. I checked his edit, i.e. the source he provided and verification was successful. The edit is good. I will add {{Cite web}} to it.

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Misplaced Pages articles. Doing so violates Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. 108.222.253.74 (talk) 06:05, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Strong keep - Dr. PremRaj Pushpakaran's profile

Strong keep - Dr. PremRaj Pushpakaran's profile is highly notable in India. India is already hideously under-represented in WikiBios. Such articles should be encouraged. Dr. PremRaj Pushpakaran, despite heading some of the most famous US universities like Harvard, had a distinguished academic career as teacher and scientist. True notable people like him always seem to be left out on Wiki! because the person has received significant coverage in reliable sources as a philanthropist; hence the topic passes for publishing.

The article on Dr. PremRaj Pushpakaran was an entirely bad faith move on the nominator's part that was meant to influence the outcome of this AfD and they should be severely trouted if not taken to ANI for such surreptitious actions. The subject is clearly notable from the sources listed above. Even when WP:ATA arguments are discounted, there's still no consensus to exclude the article.

The sources as references, which I've checked, are more than enough to rescue the article. Individual claims are a matter of normal editing. The sources provided can be briefly quoted if more is needed.I urge very strongly to keep the article . As a person of article, he has already earned enough to be in the pages of Misplaced Pages by now. Remember, Misplaced Pages is not a pulp newspaper that keeps deleting or 'forgetting' articles as someone just feels like. Those who want to recommend this page to be deleted have neither a vision about Misplaced Pages nor an idea about the very reasons why the page should be there. It is not because the person has become a 'superstar human being' or an eternal soul, but due to the very viral NOTABILITY he aquired (and continues to aquire) through his calibre. He has singlehandedly strived, succeeded and proved that it is possible to contemplate and execute such research projects for humanity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.241.56.184 (talk • contribs)

This doesn't go on my talk page, it belongs on the Miscellany for Deletion page. ... discospinster _talk 02:23, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

It was a good page why delete 'The Mianite World' ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnomalousGaming (talk • contribs) 23:03, 31 May 2014‎ (UTC)

Northview High School, Notable Alumni

The "Rishi Singh (Ninth Parallel), Electronic musician." entry is continually being removed from the Notable Alumni section of the Northview High School Misplaced Pages page. Rishi Singh is in fact an alumni of Northview High School and is a highly respected individual throughout the student body. We, as a school, would like to add him to this list for his notable achievements in music. Please do not remove him again.

Thank you. 71.59.21.206 (talk) 15:22, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

He does not appear to be notable by Misplaced Pages's criteria. See WP:N for guidelines. ... discospinster _talk 15:28, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

In googling his given name, you may not find anything related to his music; in googling Ninth Parallel along with the names of his works, you'll see numerous large-time U.S. and non-U.S. blogs writing pieces on him as well as large YouTube channels raving about his music. Tasty Network is a Latvian channel with over three hundred thousand worldwide subscribers. The same goes for Epic Network Records, with a little over three hundred and seventy thousand worldwide subscribers, based in Lithuania. The list goes on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.205.68.31 (talk) 18:46, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

First, blogs and YouTube are not reliable sources for purposes of notability. Second, it's not up to the reader to go searching for information just to figure out who he is and who's talked about him. If he's notable, then write an article about him and then link it to the school article. ... discospinster _talk 19:29, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Excuse me, sir

May I ask you why you edited Lamar Johnson's wikipedia page? There was nothing there that was not 100% factual.LamarJohnsonGOAT (talk) 02:55, 3 June 2014 (UTC)LamarJohnsonGOAT

Reddit is not a reliable source. ... discospinster _talk 02:56, 3 June 2014 (UTC) The edit said that he was considered by fans to be one of the greatest hitting coaches of all time, that was a link to fans of the team literally calling him their lord and savior. I'm pretty sure that's a pretty reliable source.LamarJohnsonGOAT (talk) 02:59, 3 June 2014 (UTC)LamarJohnsonGOAT

Yeah, no. ... discospinster _talk 03:00, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

If your response is simply "Yeah, no." I'm not sure why you feel qualified to change other people's edits like you're some kind of wikipedia police.LamarJohnsonGOAT (talk) 03:06, 3 June 2014 (UTC)LamarJohnsonGOAT

You may not have noticed but you're addressing someone with the power to lock pages and block users, ergo discospinster is Misplaced Pages police. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:40, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Notwithstanding that, discospinster is right. Forum posts are not reliable sources. --NeilN 19:45, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

electronin dance music

EDM is an acronym for electronic dance music. It is a term that is used by all major media outlets on the planet when describing all dj music. It is a meta genre. And there should not be a rant section about american commercialization. There should not be propaganda on wiki. Respectfully — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reasonseason (talk • contribs) 03:23, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

• Well, said the passer-by, most of that is neither here nor there. You blanked a section without explanation; you should expect that to be reverted. Maybe there is an issue with that section--well, take it up on the talk page. In addition, I don't think you need to explain to Discospinster what EDM is; they were born to get down.

June 2014

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Deming, New Mexico: you may already know about them, but you might find Misplaced Pages:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Fezzerof 00:57, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

WOW

Why did you go and delete From Pieces To Weight for no reason. I worked so hard creating that article. If we can have articles like Eminem's The Way I Am , than why can't we have this one. You could have put that template up nomination for deletion instead of deleting my article. WOW! CFP2016 (talk) 19:57, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Who better to ask re: the lede for this page? Thanks in advance, JNW (talk) 19:12, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

I think some of the NOAD info is useful, but it should be separate from the lede sentence so it doesn't try to say too much. I tweaked some of the wording as well, and I hope it's satisfactory to you both. ... discospinster _talk 19:52, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Rosshan Andrews

You had moved the page from Rosshan Andrrews to Rosshan Andrews. The actual spelling is the former itself. The director had changed his name many years back for numerological reasons. Here are some links which mention so. I suggest you to move back the article to the previous title.

Musical Key Vandal

Hello Discospinster,

Thanks for helping me stop this persistent, habitual vandal who anonymously removes or destroys content mainly in the musical key articles in the contemporary song sections. Recent example:

(22:04, 16 June 2014‎ 121.218.229.121 (talk)‎ . . (3,901 bytes) (-39)‎ . . (→‎Songs in B major)

I believe this is a single individual using a variety of anonymous IP addresses originating in Australia perhaps.

Do you have any ideas on how to stop this?

There really isn't a catch-all solution, unfortunately. I protected one of the articles and will do so with the others as they are vandalised. ... discospinster _talk 18:42, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Deletion, Alcatrazz

I understand why you deleted my post, Howie "Dickhead" Simon. The truth is, he is an asshole who is pretending to be part of a legacy band and the original band members are not happy. Howie is not a good player and has been abusive toward the legacy members and fooling the public into believing that he is a legitimate member of the band. Hence, "Dickhead".

Copyright image question

I don't know what the proper procedure is, but this image seems to be a copy infringement. Based on a quick web search, it seems to belong to Heat World - image seen here. Thanks, Kirin13 (talk) 23:39, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

If you find an image that looks to be a copyright infringement, you can nominate it for deletion. Assuming it's located in the Commons, you would click on "View on Wikimedia Commons" at the top, and then place the following on the Commons page for the file: {{copyvio|1=YOUR REASON HERE}}. Let me know if you have any problems with the process. ... discospinster _talk 00:01, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. It seems the only other image this user uploaded is also a copyright infringement. I put both for deletion & removed them from en.wiki articles they were added to. Not sure what the process is after that. Is there an easy way to see Wikimedia Commons responses or pings to me without going to Wikimedia Commons (since I'm rarely at Commons to see notices there)?

Lamprell History

Hi Discospinster,

Thank you for updating the Lamprell page on Misplaced Pages. It has been indeed very informative. The history section however, I believed is dated. I have tried to copy the texts from the history page of our own website www.lamprell.com to update it but later it just went back to the original texts. I have tried to ask help from our IT department to put the latest information about the Lamprell history, the same thing happened. After a few minutes, the information that was put in there was replaced with the old texts.

Would you help us how we can update the history part of the Lamprell Misplaced Pages? If you are the only one authorised to do it, we would like to give you the texts to put in the history section. Do you have number of word limitations in the history section? Please let us know as our internal auditors have subjected this Wikipage in their findings. We in Lamprell Corporate Communications need to address this.

Your response will be highly appreciated. You may email your response to Communications@lamprell.com or to sfrancisco@lamprell.com. Thank you very much. 83.110.103.62 (talk) 12:12, 18 June 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.110.103.62 (talk) 09:07, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Anyone can update the article, but you have to make sure that you are not using copyrighted content without permission. Please see Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions on how to allow the material to be used on Misplaced Pages (via the terms of the public licences CC-BY-SA and GFDL). It is probably better to just write it from scratch, since content from an organization's web page tends not to be neutral as Misplaced Pages requires. ... discospinster _talk 13:33, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
