Misplaced Pages

I suppose so. I'm a little confused about it, however, it was created as a redirect, and it was created less than 3 hours ago, I don't see how hundreds of people have linked to it in that time. It was deleted as requested by the page's creator minutes after the page was created. -- Atama頭 19:03, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

RedLeaf66

Dear Atama, I am having difficultly as I want to edit the Iridology page, which is factually incorrect, sites bogus research and is clearly written by someone who is not a neutral party. The description of what Iridology IS is inaccurate, and has been slanted so that the bogus studies can discredit it. The only external references are negative ones. This page does not represent a neutral view of what Iridology is, what Iridologists claim they can do, how Iridology is used in practice, etc. It is simply a page where someone got there first who wanted to discredit iridology and now his/her view is the accepted view and I am being told that I am being biased for pointing this out. This is not logical. I can point to a great many external sources about Iridology and NONE of them will say that Iridology claims to diagnose disease, yet this page is focused on discrediting Iridology for making this claim. I have tried to talk with OrangeMike about it but he isn't being neutral either. He claims that what is on the page is the 'accepted medical view' - the medical view of iridology is only relevant if they have a view based on what Iridology actually is and what it claims to be. The person(s) who wrote this article looked for references specifically to discredit this area of study. I wrote an edit that is factually correct about what Iridologists practice and what they claim and DON"T claim, and it was deleted immediately. This is at the point now of being extreme bias against this field. If the page is incorrect it should be fixed. If there is going to be a view by a non-iridologist citing (apparrant) studies that seek to prove that Iridology doesn't do something that Iridologists don't claim it does in the first place, then this needs to be balanced with a trained Iridologists presentation of what Iridology is, what it claims to do, and what it doesn't claim to do. Iridologists don't work with diagnosing disease AT ALL. The modern medical view of disease is contrary to what Iridologist's see in the iris to begin with. A medical doctor diagnoses disease based upon the theory that disease is something that attacks the body from the outside. This theory began in earnest with the discovery of bacteria. An Iridologist, and those who practice natural medicine, view disease as primarily when someone creates the fertile ground inside of themselves for invaders. That the person creates the fertile ground FIRST. So disease, as diagnosed by the medical profession, is irrelevant. If you read the Iridology page one would have to assume that Iridologists are a bunch of nuts going around claiming they can do what x-rays, blood tests, CAT scans, etc can do. This could not be further from the truth. The person that wrote this page is absolutely mis-representing this profession and what he/she is saying is harmful slander. Would you please help me to correct this page. I am experienced in this field and know what I am talking about. It wouldn't be right to ban an oncologist from editing the oncology page, or a breeder of Chihuahua's from editing the Chihuahua page. OrangeMike appears to be suggesting that because I am an iridologist I am banned from editing the Iridology page. The opposite should be the case. It doesn't stop Iridology bashers from editing as well, but at the moment ONLY iridology bashers (who are extremely lose with the truth) are represented there. Your help would be appreciated.

Dear Atama, I have to say that I feel almost ill with the abuse I have received in my few days foray into editing on wikipedia. I have been insulted, abused, and misrepresented as a human being. I have tried to help edit a page that is contrary to everything that wiki claims to stand for, and been hounded and abused and deleted - then when I asked for help I was ignored and ignored and ignored. I think that this faceless communication has the power to turn people into trained sociopaths. Their power goes to their heads and their treatment of others is dehumanizing. I no longer have any faith that wikipedia is anything but a voicebox for some huge egos and corporate mainstream mentality and agendas. The Iridology page, that I am fighting for, could be any page on this site. None of the editors who have deleted my work know anything about Iridology. They don't know if I am speaking the truth or not, or if this other person is. But rather than checking to see if I can verify what I am saying I am deleted, ignored and told that I can't edit that page. These editors have turned themselves into faceless machines that roll over others without heart or conscience. It is disgusting.- now have fun deleting me again. I don't care. Misplaced Pages is not what I thought it was and what it is I no longer have any respect for. Have fun trashing peoples professions and life work and taking your facts entirely from those whose sole purpose is to eliminate natural medicine. When you are sick and modern medicine can't do a thing for you, I can assure you that some kind and caring naturopath will be there to help. Just don't them you did your best to destroy their credibility through wikipedia --LeafRed66 (talk) 00:42, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Tanya and the Faerie

I'm no relation to Tanya Lowry; we spell the name differently. Your unblocks look okay to me, although I always want a very clear, explicit withdrawal of the threat, and I am not sure whether the Faerie has cleaned up her signature settings or not. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:25, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Their most recent comment had a different signature so I think they're no longer misrepresenting themselves. I have lingering concerns about the editors, anyone who refers to his or herself as "we" is a concern and it's always awkward when editors share an IP address. The legal threat looks to be moot in context though, it was placed when Tanya was trying to figure out how to remove personal info from her user page, and they were since helped in that and thanked the person who did so, and Fairie implicitly retracted the threat by removing it, then explicitly retracted it by agreeing to your request to formally withdraw the threat. In most cases I want to see that a person says specific words like "I certify that I will not pursue legal action" but I don't see the need in this case. -- Atama頭 20:37, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Take a closer look at that diff; it was not actually signed in the sense of four tildes; some text and stuff was put in by hand. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:40, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

I have Faeriewiccan's user page on my watchlist if there are problems from here on out with the signature or anything else. I checked a diff from my latest comment and the diff doesn't show the tildes for me either. So it could have been the sig or not. The sig doesn't seem to have a link, which could be a problem, unless the link is to their talk page which would of course not be active when posting on their talk page. So like I said, I'll keep an eye on it. -- Atama頭 21:01, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Fountainviewkid

Hi Atama! Fountain was definitely edit warring, and while I do not condone that, I was wondering if any of Fountain's reverts fall under the BLP exemption? Afterall he was reverting poorly sourced content added to a BLP by an "experienced" "new" IP. There does seem to be a pattern with disruptive IPs at that article, and I wonder if Fountain is being baited? – Lionel 00:55, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Whether he was being baited or not, he needs to learn to do things differently. On that note, I've been in off-Wiki communications with him and may work something out that will help him in the long term, and I might unblock him early because of it. Thanks for the note. -- Atama頭 01:01, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Icy (Bioimaging)

Hello, you have deleted the ICY (Bioimaging) page, and I fully understand why. I must say I am very excited by this software, and this was my first article. Because I thought I knew the rules, I posted it, but I really should have watched the tutorials. So I made a few but big mistakes (Copy & G11). Should I rewrite it or can you remove the speed deletion and maybe transfer it to my own page ? Again, sorry for being lasy, and not have used more of my time for writing an encyclopedic article. And if it is not the right place for this post, sorry (I am not sure it's here, lots of possible pages). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomasprovoost (talk • contribs) 06:31, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

You'll have to rewrite it. I usually honor requests to restore a deleted article to a user's space to fix it up, if the request is made in good faith (as I believe it was in your case) but I won't restore material that was a copyright violation. I do suggest if you rewrite the article, to remember to do so in your own words, don't copy what you find somewhere else. -- Atama頭 19:44, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi! You may have noticed but I wanted to make sure I don't look like a complete fool for nominating this article for A7. When I nominated it, it was only one line. This isn't a request or anything but I thought it might not be clear since almost the entire article was written after my nom. Have a good day! OlYeller 22:26, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Nothing that indicates spam?

This is intressting that deleting pages can be made without making an effort to check out facts or even reed the article. And there was nothing that indicates spam or promotion? Just facts and in the middle of creating the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheeseus (talk • contribs) 23:00, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I assume you're referring to Fadeout (band)? There was nothing in the article that indicated why the band has any significance. The article was deleted twice before for much the same reason. Also, a note, language like "boasted richer and more fleshed-out landscapes to underpin Marko's distinguishable lead vocals" is not appropriate for Misplaced Pages either. -- Atama頭 23:04, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Unblock of Justtheme (talk · contribs) on hold

You put an indefinite block on this user as a spam/advertising only account. You deleted the problem article they wrote and then blocked them three minutes later. I don't like spammers either but this looks more like a case of a inexperienced user making a mistake and copying material over from the article subject's website instead of writing it themselves. An indef block seems a bit harsh considering the lack of clear warning that a block was imminent and the fact that they are not really a spam-only account. Beeblebrox (talk) 15:20, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

I looked carefully through their contributions, from the time they started (back in 2009). This editor seems to edit almost exclusively to promote certain web entities, at first it was Mygazines, which was an article created in December 2009 (and was essentially an advertisement), then they added references to Mygazines in articles like digital edition and electronic publishing (including an attempt as recently as this month to put Mygazines at the top of the list of technology vendors in the latter article, disrupting alphabetical order). The editor most recently created promotional articles for the "Ivoted" web site, which I deleted as you know. The only edits from this editor that haven't served to promote a web entity were a few edits to The X Factor (UK series 7) which caused some conflict due to Justtheme's declared COI as a friend of one of the contestants (see here). If you believe someone who has made 70 edits over a year and a half that are either promotional or COI in nature is a well-meaning new editor, feel free to unblock them. But I hope that you can keep an eye on them so that they start to edit productively from now on (because I see no productive editing from them so far). Thanks for dropping me a line. -- Atama頭 18:18, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

By the way, I considered leaving a more detailed explanation of the reasons for the block on the editor's talk page (as I said before it was for a lot more than just the articles I deleted, those would only justify a warning at most). If I run into a situation like this again I'll follow my instincts and do so. -- Atama頭 20:08, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

You make a perfectly valid point about the general nature of their edits, but they don't seem to be shilling for one specific entity and more importantly they were not warned sufficiently about the problems with their edits as is normal before imposing an indefinite block. I've lifted the block but also made it clear to them that they shouldn't expect any more leeway on these issues since they have now been made fully aware of the problematic nature of their contribs. Beeblebrox (talk) 15:51, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough, I really appreciate you letting me know. Thank you. -- Atama頭 15:54, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Tone Montana Page Deletion

Hi Atama: Why did you delete my page? I contested the speedy deletion request and received no response or reply--instead my page and all talk pages have been deleted. Anothr20somthng (talk) 16:20, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

The article didn't assert Tone Montana's significance. I couldn't see anything to distinguish him from any number of people in the entertainment industry. I don't mean this as an offense, but I was just judging the article as it was written. To be honest, your comment on the talk page of the article actually pushed me over to deletion (I was on the fence until then), when you wrote that you can't provide mainstream coverage because there is none. That convinced me that there wasn't much hope in the near future of this article meeting our standards for verifiability. That's not the sole reason why I deleted the article, but it was basically the last nudge that led me to delete it. -- Atama頭 20:45, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

JPL

Why do you think he knows he's mistaken. If someone is mistaken, they stop, if they have offended someone, they apologize. Here, I haven't called him a racist. His view is racist; check he other census edits to find out more of the stuff that he has felt fancy to report from the census and ask yourself in light of his startling admission on what he thinks race is, what the heck is going on??? Until he stops doing what he's doing, there won't be closure. I don't need for him to admit he's wrong - he has a right to have whatever views he wants to hold, but not to perpetuate them here. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:52, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I have to tell you, you're going off the rails at the ANI board and it's looking bad. Based on everything I know, and can prove, he's wrong. He doesn't know that he's wrong, because if he knew he was wrong, he would no longer be wrong. But racism at the very least implies malice of some kind. It's just as bad as calling someone a vandal, except potentially worse, because it's even more incendiary a term. I'm not agreeing with his suggestions, but I'm telling you he is not acting like a racist, just like someone who is misinformed (to put it kindly). If someone seriously thought that everyone from Washington State (where I live) had purple skin, I wouldn't call them a racist either. They just don't know what they're talking about. (Only a very small percentage of us have purple skin.)

One other thing... You're an administrator. I know you're not acting in that role now, you've said yourself that if he is to be blocked, someone uninvolved should do it. That's good, and that's the right thing to do, and I'd back you up if anyone suggested that anything you've said or done up to this point is an abuse of admin powers or WP:INVOLVED. But despite all of that, people are going to expect more out of you because you're an admin, even if you're not wearing that hat right now, and we're held to especially strict standards when it comes to conduct. Persisting in labeling someone as a racist, or saying that they have a racist agenda, is liable to draw a lot of heat. If I could offer any advice, just try to avoid the "R" word. You've made a lot of allegations against JPL in the ANI thread that can be verified, such as having a POV, engaging in original research, even possibly editing tendentiously. The ANI thread could turn into a WP:BOOMERANG for JPL. But keeping up the racism stance is like adding lighter fluid to a brush fire. You have legitimate complaints about an editor's conduct that are being sidetracked by accusations that are looking more and more like personal attacks. It also weakens your case against him. I really think you should drop it, even if you don't apologize or retract what you said before, just don't bring it up anymore. That's just my advice. -- Atama頭 03:42, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

good afternoon Atama!

hello, from a ridiculously hot oklahoma afternoon (i admire your geography..)!

my name is cody ingram and i'm an independent touring musician and co-founder of an independent record label/production company based out of oklahoma, mayfly revival records.

you recently deleted my wiki page, Blue Valley Farmer, and i wanted to discuss it's importance.

as i'm sure you're well-aware, social media and referential media is of the utmost importance in the being-seen/being-heard day-to-day of independent artists. my brother is an advertising art director in chicago and constantly reminds me of this fact ("out of sight, out of mind"). and in an attempt to drive the notion home, he created a (relevant) wiki page for my aims as an artist, as well as a symbiotic launch-pad for others associated with Blue Valley Farmer, in and around the oklahoma area. i'll agree - all of this was done in haste (but with good intention) and was lacking in the necessary third party sources.

i wanted to get in touch with you and convince to you to restore the page, along with some pointers as to make it more relevant/significant in the third-party eyes of wiki gods everywhere.

thank you, cody ingram

(PS. the page, Blue Valley Farmer, was linked to another important/relevant page, Penny Hill , whom i have toured with in recent months...) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluevalleyfarmer (talk • contribs) 18:55, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Cody. The reason why the article was deleted was because as the article was written, it didn't stress the subject's "importance"; in other words, it didn't mention any significant accomplishments or other indication of why your act is particularly notable. We do have a list of criteria for the inclusion of musical acts, seen at WP:BAND.

I'd like to point out that Misplaced Pages is not a good place for advertising, per WP:SPAM we are strongly resistant to anyone who tries to use the site for promotion, regardless of intent (so we'll delete articles promoting charities that raise money for cancer research the same way that we'll delete articles advertising for male enhancement products). A good guide for anyone who wants to edit Misplaced Pages for promotional purposes can be found at WP:FAQO. In addition, if your brother or yourself still have interest in creating the article on your biography, I suggest reading the WP:PSCOI guide. Thank you. -- Atama頭 18:42, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Why was my page deleted?

Dear Atama,

Why was my page ,Shenandoah Sound Drum and Bugle Corps,deleted? IT had only been up for less than 24 hours. I understand that there was an attempt at a page earlier by someone else, but I was specifically asked by the Corps to help them create a new one in hopes of not having their page deleted. I don't understand why ours was deleted, it met the criteria for rule a7, the group has placed in the DCA world championships multiple times. Some information that may have shown the corps as more notable and important was yet to be put as we were still gathering it. I am also confused as to why ours was taken down, when other DCA corps had pages with equal or less information on them.

Sincerely, Lufbery17 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lufbery17 (talk • contribs) 01:27, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Your argument about other articles only suggests that perhaps those articles should be reviewed and deleted, if necessary, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The article as I reviewed it only briefly explained what the group was, with no claims of significance, not even the mention about the DCA World Championship. Another concern here is that if you are being asked by the Corp to create a new page, you shouldn't be doing it. See WP:FAQO and WP:PSCOI as to why it's not a good idea, those are both handy guides. Misplaced Pages should not be used either for promotion or recruitment. -- Atama頭 01:33, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Toobevr1244

If you feel he can be unblocked, do so. Daniel Case (talk) 04:15, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Cool, thanks. I'm just perplexed that three different editors see vandalism or disruption (and I trust both yourself and Fastily quite a bit), yet I don't see anything. That makes me wonder what I'm not seeing. But I'll defer to my own judgement here and unblock him. -- Atama頭 04:21, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

How was is not disruptive or vandalism? On one of the edits, he removed an entire paragraph about the Canadian charting three times and replaced it with one sentence which didn't give any detailed info or sources at all. The chart performance section isn't that big to start with, it doesn't need to be made smaller. He also made grammar edits which were not necessary. I think the point you are missing is that I had just completed editing the article after having an extremely thorough Peer Review, and if what Toobevr1244 thought was incorrect, then the Peer Reviewer would have picked up on it and told me to change or remove the content, but he didn't. It's because he removed perfectly valid content 3 times that i reported him, as i had reverted him 3 times already, and he would have continued if i hadn't of reported it. Calvin • 11:25, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

No he didn't. As I said before, you need to be more careful about reading diffs. You very well could have been blocked for edit-warring. For example, in this diff do you think "an entire paragraph" was removed? Look closer. -- Atama頭 16:18, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Well maybe if he had of used the edit summary box (like you are supposed to), the edit wouldn't have been mistaken for removal of content. You can see why it could be easy to think that he deleted an entire paragraph if you don't scroll down beyond that point. Calvin • 18:23, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Sure, and I even thought so on first glance. Just an FYI, I use a special script that gives me an option to see a diff more clearly, you can check it out at wikEdDiff, it's a huge help and would make these kinds of diffs much easier to read. -- Atama頭 18:27, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Safari isn't supported by that. Calvin • 19:23, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Darn, that's too bad. I still hope that they overhaul our diff system, the default interface really stinks. I don't like the fact that I have to use a custom script in order to reliably compare page revisions, and you just pointed out that doesn't even work in all browsers. I actually found that script at a Village Pump discussion complaining about how awful our diff interface is. -- Atama頭 19:25, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

What does it actually do? Calvin • 19:48, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

So if you look at the screenshot below (which I got from the script's page):

At the top of the image you see the regular diff interface. At the bottom of that is a small, square grey button with a green triangle or delta in it. With that script active, you still see the regular diff interface, but if you click the button, then you also get to see the enhanced diff interface. The enhanced interface is seen below it, which is a single box, with deleted text highlighted in red, and added text highlighted in green. It can be really helpful for certain kinds of diffs.

Let's go back to the diff we talked about before, which was here. When you look at that diff normally, it's hard to tell what actually happened, it appears to be a huge removal or change of text. But with the enhanced diff tool, the diff looks like this:

File:WikEdDiff-example.JPG

As you can tell, all he did was add the sentence highlighted in green. It's a pretty useful tool. -- Atama頭 21:14, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

The article Pseudonym (Indian Band) was userfied to User:Iamgymman123/Pseudonym (Indian Band) by an administrator, and now I have updated that adding some more citations. Now if you feel that it is notable, I request you to move this article to the main space.
With regards,

Here is my problem with the article, and the reason why I deleted it in the first place. What did they do that was significant? It says in the article, "Pseudonym came up with it's first Singles EP Dreams ... The compilation was hand distributed for free to the band's friends and followers." So they made a record that they gave to friends, and then started playing at a pub? Also, know that the following sentence is unacceptable: "This band is still aiming to set a different note in the world of contemporary music with a totally fresh perspective, and is ready to face the challenges that will inevitably come its way." That's pure advertising speak and has no reason to be in an article.

Keep in mind that the original article wasn't deleted for the lack of citations, there aren't any speedy deletion situations that involve a lack of sources. It's the article itself that fails under A7 criteria. This is a band that doesn't seem to have any stronger claim of importance than countless other groups of musicians who haven't made any accomplishments yet.

If that article was moved into main space, it would undoubtedly be deleted right away, by someone else if not me. If there isn't more to add to the article, then it's likely that the band hasn't reached a point where there's enough to write an article about them. -- Atama頭 07:48, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure that it's much better, that version just expands on the info that was there before. But I wouldn't speedy it anyway. I wouldn't decline an A7, it's borderline, but I think you've put enough effort into trying to demonstrate significance that I wouldn't delete it myself. I don't see that the coverage you've shown in those papers is significant enough to meet WP:BAND and it may be vulnerable to WP:AFD, but who knows. You might get lucky and someone will take an interest in the band who can dig up something else that will help. -- Atama頭 17:03, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Should I move the page to the main space or upadte it with more details available and then come back to you.

I'd say, unless you have something major to add to it, I'd just move it. I don't think that the article will attract much negative attention right away. Definitely keep working on it though, and maybe see if you can get help from a related Wikiproject, like WP:INDIA or WP:Wikiproject Music. -- Atama頭 17:20, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

ANI

FYI, the ANI thread in which you participated concerning User:Marine 69-71 has reopened. ScottyBerg (talk) 14:30, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

...Of course it has. Thanks for letting me know. -- Atama頭 15:46, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

COI board

Hi Atama. Sorry to bug you about this. An entry at the base of the COI board was posted by a user whose unblock request you rightly denied (i.e. user talk:AkibanTech. The entry is kind of mussing up the board, but I don't know the proper way to correct it. The question of course implies that he intends to persist in promoting the company. P.Oxy.2354 (talk) 17:46, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry about bugging me, I'm here to be bugged. :) I saw it, and had forgotten about AkibanTech, but now that you jogged my memory I do remember. I'll fix the formatting right now and then consider what's being requested, but there may be some block evasion going on here. -- Atama頭 17:56, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Re:Possible solution

Personal problems and the preperation of my defense have taken some of my time. I do not believe that I should give up my admin. powers, however I will auto impose a probation upon myself in which i will not use my admin powers for at least a year. I encourage you to monitor my behavior, if I fail to live up to the expectations then I will do the honorable thing. Tony the Marine (talk) 21:57, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I'd be willing to do so, especially if it satisfies the people calling for blood. If you or anyone else needs me to formally agree to something or make some statement somewhere, just let me know, thanks. -- Atama頭 22:05, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
