Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/DangerousPanda closed

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedy has been enacted:

1.1) For his violations of the standards of conduct expected of administrators, DangerousPanda (talk · contribs) is desysopped. He may regain the tools at any time via a successful request for adminship.

For the Arbitration Committee, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:03, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Discuss this

pardon my intruding nose, but I read this: "ArbCom expects desysopped admins to leave the project. It's a permanent sanction. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:46, 25 December 2014 (UTC)" here. Is Hawkeye7 right or wrong? (Please also forgive my unfamiliarity with protocol for not having written on Talk pages in a coon's age. Somercet (talk) 17:55, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Ask him. Lugnuts 19:20, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I will. "We've met before, haven't we." Somercet (talk) 07:49, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Dear Lugnuts,

Lillie Hayward

Was she an actress? IMDb doesn't list any credits as such. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:36, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

There is some info that might be useful just below the opening paragraph here. Of course there might be other sources that disagree with this but I thought its description of why the actress from the silent film era gets confused with her. Cheers to you both. MarnetteD|Talk 00:42, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

No idea what happened there! I've removed the comments about being an actress. Maybe she had acting credits when I created it in 2008 and it's a case of two different people having one IMDB profile at that time. Lugnuts 10:49, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

@Clarityfiend:, @MarnetteD: - Found it. Here's a snapshot of IMDB in early 2009. Clearly two biographies of different individuals. Lugnuts 10:48, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Good to know L. FYI for some reason the "ping" command no longer lights up the red dot notification for me. The "u" (as in {{u|MarnetteD}} still works. It doesn't matter here as I have your talk page watchlisted but I thought I'd let you know in case you try to contact me on another article or editors talk page. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 18:46, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Marnette! I've had my doubt about the ping function for sometime. Hmmm - Clarityfiend. Bazinga. Lugnuts 18:51, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

YW. There is a possibility that "ping" was replaced by this {{reply to|Username}}. I have seen this one a couple of times though it hasn't been used to contact me. I am guessing of course but I thought it worth a mention. MarnetteD|Talk 19:20, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm Rocketrod1960. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Louis D'Heur, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. Rocketrod1960 (talk) 13:30, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

DYK for Me, Myself and Mum

On 6 January 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Me, Myself and Mum, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Guillaume Gallienne (pictured) received critical acclaim for his portrayal of himself and his mother in his 2013 autobiographical comedy film Me, Myself and Mum? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Problem with the url for all the Oscar winners now...

Looks like the Oscar page changed the layout and all of them are now invalid! (I found this out on accident after I noticed someone had the wrong year linked so I was fixing it)

Disambiguation link notification for January 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sweden at the 1932 Summer Olympics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gustaf Andersson. 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.

Your Opinion

Hi, I just wanted to know something. Is it necessary to include Golden Raspberry Awards nominations at actor's page of "Awards and nominations". Because they those awards look like parody or satire. I am confused on this matter, because some winners and nominees have included them in their age like Will Smith but some didn't like Jennifer Aniston. I will really appreciate your answer regarding this matter.--Jockzain (talk) 21:15, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Oscar foreing language film nominees

My internet says Ida, Leviathan, Tangerines, Timbuctu, and Wild Tales. May be you have a different internet, but it would be good to check. In any case, pls stop edit-warring.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:48, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

WTF is Timbuctu? Haha. Lugnuts 14:58, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Oscars

Welcome, I'll probably add more tomorrow. The biggest problem of course are how some people have alternate names and stuff like that. (Like I think its in costumes or something like that one year some lady had like 10 alternate names, dang) Going to be busy most of today. But yeah I'll probably add some of the smaller names sometime later. Wgolf (talk) 18:02, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Humor is not allowed...

... let's you and I try to remember that.

Carlton Mid ODI Series

No reason to remove attendance figures. You were also editing the Article of South African cricket team touring Australia earlier this summer and I checked that the attendance figures were there. No one removed it. Then why this hypocrisy with the tri series attendances??? Itz arka (talk) 06:36, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

There's no consensus for it. See WT:CRIC. Lugnuts 09:56, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

No one is also against it. As PeeJay says that it cant be added if it is sourced. So I can add it next time with proper source and I wish that you will not delete them. Itz arka (talk) 12:54, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Calm down, son

Afghanistan rename

I really don't understand why you thought it was a speedy request because if you read the discussion you would see it actually lasted for three weeks and a majority of 3-1 agreed to the rename based on sources. 100 percent unanimity isn't something that happens often on Misplaced Pages. EkoGraf (talk) 23:35, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Calm down, son (again)

Notability of Manic Street Preachers articles

You removed the {{notability}} tag from several Manic Street Preachers-related articles. The reason I added this tag is because the subjects in question didn't meet the notability requirements (the guidelines that are found on the link contained within the tag): e.g. they didn't place on more than one reputable chart, or, they placed on one chart but did not have sufficient independent references to back them up (e.g. in the case of 4st 7lb, the article has numerous references but they are in regard to the album The Holy Bible and not the track in specific; by this (incorrect) logic any track could have an article if the album's subject has enough references). Lachlan Foley (talk) 22:36, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

In the case of "Further Away" it was pretty easy to add a handful of references. -- Sam 01:44, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

They're clearly notable. Lugnuts 10:09, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

The following message by Lachlan Foley in reply to my message above has been moved from User talk:Sam Sailor#Further Away notability in order to avoid fragmentation. I hope you don't mind, Lugnuts. -- Sam 10:37, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

I notice you removed the {{notability}} tag from the article Further Away. You have added sources, which is good, but it appears these references are not specifically about the subject in question – I believe in order to qualify a subject as Misplaced Pages-notable it must contain numerous sources specifically about that subject, not just sources which may mention the subject. If this differs from your understanding please let me know, but, if not, I think the {{notability}} tag should be replaced.

Please keep this on Foley's talkpage. His ass-handing is coming soon enough. Lugnuts 10:51, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

OK, I have struck my previous above and asked Foley to reply on my talk page. -- Sam 11:09, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Danke. Lugnuts 11:10, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

"They're clearly notable" is not a valid argument. Lachlan Foley (talk) 23:15, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Stop being a WP:DICK. Take them to AfD if they're not notable! Lugnuts 10:05, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Jane Clive

So I made the page for Jane Clive who was listed as being nominated, but now she is not on the Oscar page (and she just had all her refs removed from her page from someone else as well as some odd things happened), not sure what to say is she nominated or not? Wgolf (talk) 23:01, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Sarkis Assadourian (fencer)

I attached the category "Iranian Armenian people" for Sarkis Assadourian (fencer) as he is an ethnic Armenian from Iran just as the category implies. You had earlier asked where does it does say that he is from Armenia. Again, if you reread what I wrote, you would know that he is from Iran and not from Armenia. There is no argument there. As for the source to where it says he is Armenian, there is none posted. I just know he is an ethnic Armenian just by name as Armenians have a big community presence in Iran. I don't understand how you think of me as vandalizing an article? Perhaps, we could clear up some misunderstanding. Hovhannesk (talk) 14:33, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi L. Thought you should see this. Well that is one problem taken care of. We deserve a break ----- Okay our five second break is over back to the salt mines :-) Enjoy the rest of your weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 18:25, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Country pages for the UCI Road World Championships

Hi Lugnuts, you generate a large number of articles, so I'd like to know your thoughts regarding the notability of the country pages for the UCI Road World Championships.

Just a note

Cwobeel has demonstrated a pattern of WP:IDHT and battleground behavior. It was not an unassuming error that was made. Those edits occurred after this discussion at this BLPN. After Cirt makes that BLPN notice the very first thing Cwobeel does is restore the entire unsourced page.. While User talk:Cwobeel#IMDB is not a reliable source did follow - Cwobeel was entirely aware of BLP and the requirements. While he says he knows the difference now, but he was informed repeatedly including that discussion by Kww and repeatedly disagreed with Kww. This WP:IDHT attitude leads to Cwobeel challenging Kww with this edit stating: If you are going to block any editor that adds material without a source, you will not have time for anything else. Look, I understand the issue, but this is a storm in a team cup, so let's drop it, shall we? The block came a minute later. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 14:55, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for providing a bit more background, Chris. Lugnuts 15:09, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

DYK for The President's Plane Is Missing (film)

On 29 January 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The President's Plane Is Missing (film), which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that ABC's television film adaptation of Robert J. Serling's The President's Plane Is Missing was completed in 1971 but postponed until one year after Richard Nixon's 1972 visit to China? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Orphaned non-free image File:In Order of Disappearance.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:In Order of Disappearance.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image 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 that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 01:05, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

A Great Day in Harlem (film) (sub)categories

Hi, I'm wondering about your edit which restores Category:American films, although the article's already within Category:American documentary films which falls under that same category.

The Good Companions

This film had its world premiere at the Warner Theatre, Leicester Square on March 7th 1957 (I believe I initially put January in error). The film is, therefore a 1957 film and the BFI is wrong. A film is dated by its first public performance, not the year it was made.Ambak51 (talk) 12:58, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Source it. Lugnuts 12:58, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

THe source is the cinema's advertising in The Times of March 7 1957, available on The Times Online Archive. In addition, the BBFC website gives January 9th 1957 as its certification date, so it could not have been shown to the public before that date.Ambak51 (talk) 15:59, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

About your (non)participation in the January 2012 SOPA vote

Hi. I am Piotr Konieczny (User:Piotrus), you may know me as an active content creator (see my userpage), but I am also a professional researcher of Misplaced Pages. Recently I published a paper (downloadable here) on reasons editors participated in Misplaced Pages's biggest vote to date (January 2012 WP:SOPA). I am now developing a supplementary paper, which analyzes why many editors did not take part in that vote. Which is where you come in :) You are a highly active Wikipedian (21st most active!), and you were active back during the January 2012 discussion/voting for the SOPA, yet you did not chose to participate in said vote. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me why was that so? For your convenience, I prepared a short survey at meta, which should not take more than a minute of your time. I would dearly appreciate you taking this minute; not only as a Misplaced Pages researcher but as a fellow content creator and concerned member of the community (I believe your answers may help us eventually improve our policies and thus, the project's governance). PS. If you chose to reply here (on your userpage), please WP:ECHO me. Thank you! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:59, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Hey Lugnuts, any chance you could help me out with this? Few more responses would really be very valuable to me. As the 21st most active Wikipedian, your input really does matter. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:19, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Tag-banned user and AfD nominations

Following their recent ban from tagging with {{notability}} I notice that in just two days from the 2nd to the 4th they have send 17 articles to Afd (). Several of these cases are articles where the editor previously tagged with notability. Some AfD nominations fall within just 2-3 minutes of each other. I had a go at the oldest nomination,4st 7lb, and it was quite easy to add ten sources. All in all I don't get the impression that they try to search for and add sources prior to hitting the XfD button. Your thoughts? -- Sam 13:44, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I might need a bit of help here. As understood, I can be blocked the next time I break the rules again.

Various questions

Let me start just with one question that I couldn't figure out by searching the project talk pages, but I guess you have an answer to, categories: common sense (if I dare think I have any such) tell me that we only add production companies.
