Adil Najam page

MangoJuice, I find it very useful to be able to locate pages for my Boston University, Tufts and Harvard professors here on wiki -- gives me an easy central place to find links to their work but even more interestingly a window into what they've done outside of their scholarly pursuits. I'd appreciate if you'd re-instate the Adil Najam page which I use quite a lot. You can reach me at franz.gastler@gmail.com. Many thanks

Najam page con't

I believe you may be the referee for the Adil Najam page -- I'll verify information on the page. The page clearly passes the WP:BIO requirements. Thanks --Franz.mpls 03:53, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Worthy use of your new admin powers

Congratulations on your recent granting of admin powers. I would like to draw your attention to a worthy use of those powers - the closing of copyvio reports listed on WP:CP. As you'll see there are many tens of such reports that need dealing with each day, and the backlog is barely being kept under control despite a couple of us spending lots of time working on them. The process is pretty easy and sorting a few only takes a little time and with a group of people helping, we can keep the backlog under control easily - just review the article & the source to ensure it is a copy, and then delete. Any help would certainly be appreciated - any questions, ask away. Kcordina 09:05, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Not sure where the notions that a) Miss Martindale invented the Aristasia concept and b) that sex is now important in Aristasia come from. As far as I can tell, the main difference (n this area) now is that discipline is much more underplayed, while sex is equally taboo. Should be interested in your verification of the contrary statement. There does seem to me to be a certain parti pris going on here. Still, I suppose it's none of my business. Karen

Hi. I was wondering if you could help me. I'm a relative newbie here, and I have noticed today that one of the pages I created is missing. It should be here: Edgewood Elementary (band)

Do you know of a way to trace this to learn what might have happened? I don't see it in the list of articles "Proposed for Deletion" or whatever. Thank you for your time. ShawnC

Thank you for your support!

Comments re:Userfication

Thank you for your comments. Please forgive the length of my response, as it's grown to a full accounting.

The moves were a follow-up to discussions which arose out of disputes between WCityMike and Parsssseltongue-- which apparently has led to an RfM between the two. Each editor had been using the "essay" model to generate their own personal rules, to deal with issues they came across during heated AfD. In the case of PT, he (I'm assuming "he") created two essays which WCityMike brought up for MfD as being personal attacks on him:

• Misplaced Pages:Miscellany_for_deletion#Misplaced Pages:Don.'t be lazy
• Misplaced Pages:Miscellany_for_deletion#Misplaced Pages:Don't hold a grudge

Both essays were deleted.

In the first one, I commented that, "I would be in favour of (re)moving all such essays, written by single individuals to deal with their own concerns/views/concepts, of which there has been an explosion in recent months."

WCityMike had previously created his own set of essays, including one titled, "Misplaced Pages:Don't Create Essays and Then Cite Them As If They Were Policy", as well as Misplaced Pages:Interestingness (which ironically, he has since cited multiple times in his own AfD discussions.)

He also had written an essay-form reply to PT, in his own userspace, User:WCityMike/Rebuttal_to_Don't_Be_Lazy.

Subsequently, I took the Be Bold approach-- this was not actually a case of ignore all rules, as there appears to be no "policy" per se that a personal essay (e.g. one by a single editor, based on that user's sole opinion) created in Misplaced Pages-space must remain there until an MfD. The Misc for Deletion page itself notes, "If a page is in the wrong namespace (e.g. an article in Misplaced Pages namespace), simply move it and list the redirect on WP:RFD if needed."

Tiny FYI

Hi,

Just so you know, for reasons beyond my technical understanding, redirecting directly to a section of an article (eg #REDIRECT ] ) doesn't work. Redirects only go to the page proper, no matter what one does. This tip was motivated by an edit to Aristasia. Best wishes, Xoloz 15:18, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Blocks on the Pierre Bourque (journalist)

Hello, I noticed you blocked some IPs for reverting on the Pierre Bourque (journalist) entry. IMO, it my be the same user who I had a revert war with. Please read, I hope this helps you understand that it is more than likely that the person is still reverting edits on the Pierre Bourque (journalist) entry but using a different IP. Pete Peters 18:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

This might be helpful in better understanding the situation. Pete Peters 18:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello again, I have added an article of Pierre Bourque as an external link. Yet, it just get's reverted. I am no violator of the 3 revert rule, but if I revert it the user will just assume another IP or log in as Arthur Ellis. I notice if an admin person reverts it, he tends to listen. Pete Peters 01:57, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Weronika Rosati

Hi, I don't understand what you meant by WP mirrors when you removed the copyvio tag. I think it still violates copyright, because the wikipedia content is directly lifted from her official website and the site shows "Copyright ©Media 2000 a Max Kolonko Company.All rights reserved". Thanks for your time. -- Abid Ahmed 20:52, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

WileyPublishing

I think it would be OK to unblock that account to allow participation in the debate; I've had an email saying that they want to participate in the debate but won't resume linking unless / until cleared. I don't see the name as realy inappropriate myself; they are acting for and on behalf of, not misrepresenting themselves. Just zis Guy you know? 16:15, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

semi on Bourque

Hi Mango, I see that you semi'd the Bourque article yesterday and then changed your mind. I've just now done so. There is a user under an indefinite block who has learned how to get his IP changed when he wants, thereby making it easy to flout the 3RR rule, which he seems to be doing (all edits on that page from 209.217.xxx.xxx and 64.26.xxx.xxx are from the same Internet Provider in Ottawa). I suggest we leave the semi in place for a couple of days until he loses interest. Bucketsofg✐ 16:43, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the semi will probably be sufficient, given that it is IPs that are the problem. As far as I'm concerned the editors can continue to revert one another undisturbed. Bucketsofg✐ 19:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I take it Mangojuice (if that is your real name) has some expertise on Canadian copyright law, or has seen the National Post freelance agreement (which I have both read and signed) that gives the Post all rights to any artricle sold to them. You take some dreadful risks in your ignorance. 64.26.147.136 19:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Got your note. So you're willing to bet Misplaced Pages's money on that? Because, by guessing, that is exactly what you are doing. 64.26.147.136 19:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not threatening anything. I've written on Canadian copyright law for legal journals, and I'm just telling you that your ignorance, wilful or otherwise, may leave Misplaced Pages open under Canadian copyright law to some legal remedy. Since I am not the National Post, there's no legal action I could take, even if I wanted to. Now, the chances of the National Post going after one of its columnists for republishing something he signed off the rights for is slim to none. With ol' Bucketsofvenom's little rip-off pages where he takes stuff from databases and republishes them on his blog, then uses them to back up his hatchet jobs, well, that's a bucketofgrewal of a different colour, as it were. I just think you, along with most Wiki types, are sloppy, careless, arrogant because of your shield of anonymity, and almost invariably working from an agenda, hidden or otherwise. Mostly undergrads or second-rate would-be scholars, the ype of people who end up teaching high school. Sad bunch, really.64.26.147.136 20:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it doesn't work that way. Canadian courts claim jurisdiction if a party in a libel case was resident in Canada when the libel was commited. Judgments from Canadian courts are collectable in the States. By your concepts of libel, the world would be bound by US law because most big Internet and media are HQ'd in the States. The rest of the woprld would never accept that. In fact, that's the reason why Google bends over for China and Yahoo got in trouble in France for carrying ads for people selling Nazi junk.64.26.147.136 21:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

AMA request

Heyo, Steve Caruso here! Currently there is an Advocacy request by a new user, Dreyesbo, who needs assistance on the article Tibia (computer game). Would you be willing to take their case? Peace! אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/poll) 19:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Sure, seems like a pretty light-weight ordeal. Mangojuice 19:55, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm sure that Dreyesbo will greatly appreciate it :-) אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/poll) 19:57, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Of course I appreciate it! Very much indeed. I was just explaining the case further in my talk page, when I saw Mangojuice reply! Well, then I'll explain some things about it here :^):

I've seen the reason that C3o placed, and now that I've read the External Links policy, I understand a little better. A newbie mistake. Still the advice that Mango gave me was something I didn't thought of, and will use it. I'll prepare a section about the supported fansites program, when it started, which supported fansites exist, etc... However, if it still seems unnecessary, I'll just place a link to the page where the list of supported fansites is. I have now understood the subject furthly, so no problem at all. Thanks!

And I forgot to add that I tried to make contact with him, but forgot to log in. It can be seen in his talk page, with me being 200.23.36.144.

Thanks again!

Blocking

Hi there, thanks for the quick reply on my talk page. The problem is this: the PC I sometimes use for editing on the wiki has had its IP blocked - this means I can't edit even when logged in. What I want to know is if there is some way of unblocking me, even though editors on the IP are.--Bjwebb (talk) 20:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

thanks!

thanks so much for unblocking my IP. ill try my utmost best to be productive here in wikipedia and share whatever knowledge i know to contribute to wikipedia's goals, thanks again and more power -Bloodpack 10:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Overheard discussion

NikosPolitis unblock

Hi Mangojuice, I just noticed you released NikosPolitis (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) from his "collateral" block. I just wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this account, though it hasn't had much opportunity of doing anything, is potentially highly disruptive. He's an obvious sockpuppet of disruptive POV-pusher and multiple revert-warrior Erdogan_Cevher (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (just compare his edits: , with those of Erdogan: , ). Moreover, his username is a clear attempt at impersonating Politis (talk · contribs) and/or NikoSilver (talk · contribs). Erdogan is a Turkish POV-pusher, Politis and Nikos are Greek editors who had opposed him on the same talk page Talk:List of unrecognized countries, where he was conducting his soapbox trolling campaign. There was a checkuser case about this (Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/Erdogan Cevher). I had added notices to this effect to his talk page, but he kept removing them without comment. You might want to consider blocking him as an impersonator/sockpuppet account. If you have any questions or aren't satisfied with the evidence, just drop me a line. Thanks! Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, no problem. As I understand, the checkuser was inconclusive because the "Erdogan Cevher" account had been silent for a while before "NikoSilver" appeared. The identity of the two is really beyond doubt, based on the editing patterns (CheckUser is really not for the obvious cases, as they say.) -- Anyway, if he resumes his trolling activity, I'll come back to you. Thanks, Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Proposal for pornographer biographies

Hi Mangojuice I saw your comment regarding the Dora Venter article and thought you should join the WP:PORN BIO discussion since it is a guideline in progress right now. While I do not necessarily think that all adult film actors are notable at the 50 mark, I do think they should be given stronger consideration the closer they are to 100 films. (Think of it as a sliding scale.) I also think that setting a concrete barrier of 100 films is too arbitrary, as I've pointed out at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Nikki Loren. Recently I nominated two articles for deletion myself, Paul Becker and Erik Rhodes (porn star). It appears the latter one will be kept because he is with a major label despite appearing in less than a dozen films, so we have a lot to hash out with this guideline process I think. Your comments on the shaping of the notability criteria for porn bios would be appreciated. RFerreira

WP:AN

Participating in the discussion is surely inelegant and unnecessarily verbose, but I thought (ostensibly correctly) that by using that formulation I might avoid incurring the wrath of those who assume that anyone who uses vote with respect to an AfD doesn't understand that Misplaced Pages is not a democracy, that voting is evil, and that the project operates in pursuit of and in view of consensus (viz, that AfD is not a vote); I think, though, that your eye-rolling was, though perhaps indecorous, surely appropriate. I understand why some object stridently to the use of vote (since new users who see such usage might misunderstand the tenets of the project), and I suppose one might essay "vote" or !vote (as Deathphoenix at AN), but I don't see any problem with our using vote (for lack of a better term), and my using the longer locution ought not to be understood as an upbraiding.  :) Joe 18:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Smerge

I've been wondering this for a while. What is "smerge"? Mangojuice 12:31, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

"Smerge" stand for "slight merge". "Smerge A to B" means that a sentence or two about A should be added to B, and then A deleted or redirected. Stifle (talk) 22:53, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it's the question that everyone's afraid to ask. After months of wondering (not continuously!) I actually created Misplaced Pages:Smerge and shortly thereafter found the answer. As far as the project page, it's basically a substub now, but I'm hoping some expert smergers will add examples or something. Ardric47 03:42, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Units in Nintendo Wars

You deleted Units in Nintendo Wars per a non-existent AfD. You were probably confusing it with this Afd for Units in Advance Wars. Would you mind undeleting it? --SevereTireDamage 02:04, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I'll do my best to help rewrite the article as encyclopedic. --SevereTireDamage 00:27, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction; I've been trying to find copyright violations, but when I read that I tried to figure out what to do. Again, thanks and I'll use the prod tag in the future. --Douglas Whitaker 20:37, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I read up on that, but unfortunately most of the stuff I've found hasn't been commercial in nature or has been older than 48 hours. I'll keep my eyes peeled though for opportunities to use that and try and not contribute to the backlog. --Douglas Whitaker 20:43, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I do have a question about copyvios (I didn't know who to ask). I've run across some articles that I've strongly suspected of copyvio, but have been unable to actually find the source. I've been relecutant to tag them with anything. Any suggestions? (An example is Tarik Solak). Thanks. --Douglas Whitaker 20:47, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Sounds very good. Again, many thanks for the help. --Douglas Whitaker 20:58, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for the compliment - I'm just doing what I can. And thats a good point; I'll begin using prod in addition to copyvio for those cases. Thanks for the tip. --Douglas Whitaker 02:32, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks

Attack by Sarner

I have been harassed by user Sarner (see my talk page). He has repeatedly attacked me on a number of pages, for example see Bowlby, and has not placed a warning on my talk page that is: 1. Without merit. 2. Without any basis. 3. That is inflamatory and demafatory.

I don't know if this is the right place to lodge this complaint. If not, would you please direct me to the correct venue.

In any event, I'd like to see him leave me alone or be banned from Misplaced Pages. (As you can see he has been banned from editing the Barrettpage and "soft-banned" from editing the Bowlby page.

Thank you for your time and help. DPeterson 15:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

The comments below by user sarner are further evidence of his malice. DPeterson 15:35, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Administrator Abuse?

Reporting someone for vandalism is itself vandalism?

I grant that there can be disagreement, but how does being wrong about vandalism constitute vandalism. Removal of the report is certainly appropriate.

I see no "good faith" in the article to be created and I listed it for speedy deletion. As I regarded it as pure vandalism (and still do), I reported it.

Your concern for "personal attacks" is laudable, but if so concerned you should investigate the personal attacks I and others have endured from DPeterson and other sock/meat puppets of AWeidman.

I think your comments (and warning) was an abuse of administrator privilege. But I could be wrong, and I wouldn't want to "vandalize" a page by complaining about your action, so, if you can tell me where we, together, can bring your actions to the attention of someone responsible for administering administrators, we can set one or the other of us straight. Larry Sarner 15:27, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

After posting the above, I noticed the preceding section where DPeterson was complaining to you about me. Why would he communicate his complaint directly to you, do you think? Are you aware that I have not been "soft-banned" from editing the Bowlby article and that DPeterson has been informed by others of that fact? Can someone be truly considered a "good faith" actor if he tries to deceive other users, editors, and even administrators? Larry Sarner 15:41, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

"Thank you for your message. I apologise that you disagree with my decision. My duty as a Misplaced Pages administrator is, in part, to prevent contentious editing from occurring on articles; consequently, I have the authority to implement blocks and, in terms of general community precedent, specific bans - although, it is true, only article bans passed by the Arbitration Committee are binding as per policy, the alternate approach would have been to block you indefinitely from editing Misplaced Pages for disruptive editing, which I could well have done (and have the specific authority to do) but thought it more reasonable merely to remove you from the Barrett article. I have done the same with OKO (talk • contribs) who is engaging in similar behaviour, as both your accounts show a specific fixation towards editing the Stephen Barrett article (in your case, that article and John Bowlby); Arbitration Committee precedent is that users who engage in disruptive, fixated editing on an article may be banned from editing that article (see Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Regarding The Bogdanov Affair, for instance)." from Sarner talk page. ( Best regards, --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 21:53, 14 July 2006 (UTC)) DPeterson 15:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

User:NicholasTurnbull has also stated: "I have not, to date, banned Sarner (talk • contribs) from the Bowlby page; it was Stephen Barrett that he is banned from editing, and that article alone - if necessary, however, I can extend the ban should his disruption also be extending to this article. Regarding following the ban being "voluntary", that is partly correct in that there is nothing in place to directly stop him from making changes to the article he is banned on, but it was more of offering a more reasonable alternative to actually blocking him from editing Misplaced Pages - which I would do if he chose to circumvent the ban, because there would be no other means left at my disposal to stop the disruption." DPeterson 15:54, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

And as you can read there, I was not "soft-banned", or any other banishment, from the Bowlby article which DPeterson erroneously claimed. Larry Sarner 00:14, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Please note that DPeterson has now starting accusing me of vandalism for editing this very page Advocates for Children in Therapy. I chose to edit by asking for citations for the "facts" he published on the page. How can that be vandalism? It seems he can run roughshod over Wiki policy and guidelines, but any reasonable attempt to make him justify it is "vandalism". Larry Sarner 00:21, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

A Question

Hello, Mangojuice. I'm curious. The article on Cryptography mentions Venezuela among the list of countries that impose legal restrictions on its use. It says: "Many countries have tight restrictions on the use of cryptography. Among the more restrictive are laws in....Venezuela ...", etc. I live in Venezuela, am an active old-timer in the computer engineering profession, and have never heard of such 'restrictions', much less about 'laws' on the use of cryptography, other than those imposed by the U.S. government's export regulations*, which may hinder the task of finding the source code for a good enclyiption algorithm. However, state-of-the-art encryption algorithms are easily found elsewhere in the international community open source sites.

My question is: do you know about those 'laws' restricting cryptography in Venezuela?

Thanks, AVM 15:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

You are, I think, to be commended for your nominations of {{nn-bio}} and {{nn-band}}; even as it appears that some editors participating in the discussion have failed to apprehend the justification for nomination, you are altogether correct, IMHO, to have raised an ostensibly insignificant but (subtly) important issue.

Vandalism "charge"

I considered it vandalism when sarner put a next to nearly every sentence (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Advocates_for_Children_in_Therapy&oldid=65289252 ) I thought that fell under the definition since it needlessly cluttered up the page. However, if I was/am mistaken, I'd appreciate your letting me know so that I don't continue under a false assumption. Thanks. DPeterson 02:15, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Deletion Process

Hi there Mangojuice, Thanks for your message and Welcome notice! (I wondered when one would arrive and felt kinda naked without one!) You commented that I'd done an incorrect speedy delete. I put a response on my talk page, but obviously you're not likely to notice so I thought I'd reply here too so I can get some useful feedback...

"... makes me wonder what makes appropriate or inappropriate? It was apparent that this article is the beginning of a blog or personal essay. It doesn't cover any Misplaced Pages type content. It's not the sort of essay which could be easily renamed, moved to another section or edited to be made better, because it'd still be a blog. So ultimately I expect it's probably still going to go. Don't get the wrong idea though - I'm not trying to make a case for its deletion, but trying to understand the process (and particularly the thought process) better."--Neilajh 16:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

more deletion process

Your interpretation of WP:PROD seems rather counter-productive. Common sense would suggest that a user replacing a prod tag with a speedy delete tag is not interested in a week of discussion. I feel like you're putting words in my mouth. --CharlotteWebb 19:57, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

GFDL on teamgeist_gallery.jpg

Hi Mangojuice. Thanks for the welcome! I am fine with the image being licensed by the GFDL, but wasn't sure how to change this after i'd uploaded it and realised my mistake, so i re-uploaded it as teamgeistgallery.jpg (see 5th photo on teamgeist page). This image can therefore be deleted. As you may have gathered, i am new to wikipedia and this is a mistake i shan't be repeating! Will851 14:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

user:TTPN

Thanks for sorting that out. So I can just redirect user:TTPN to user:Ttpn now?

Strange thing is, the content on that page was a link to my site (thetechnicalplace.com which is ttpn.net). There is a remote possibility that is was an older account of mine that I totally forgot about.

Brilliant, thank you. I'm sticking with this one and leaving the other one to redirect. Thanks for your help.

Be happy!

Dear Wikipedian, you have acheived a considerable number of edits on wikipedia. This can mean, that you devote a large proportion of your free time to improving the articles on this free encyclopedia. I would like to remind you, however, that Misplaced Pages is not the best thing that happened to mankind since 2000, it is just a mere internet project, and there are lots of other things you can do, if you want to serve the community you live in. There might be opportunities in your local municipality, that would allow you to volunteer your time and efforts to help the diseased, disabled, or otherwise handicapped people. There are also organisations, that would use your time and work to help people in areas of world, where people have never actually seen a computer in their entire life, and don't know what internet or wikipedia is. Such organisations target hunger, diseases, or the lack of proper education in those areas. Please, try to reconsider, if you donate your time and efforts to the community that needs them the most.
