thanks

I didn't realize the turnaround time on editing articles was so quick. I had thought that when I clairified the copyright issue that a little time would have been afforded me to edit the article so that is met the standards that you seek. Obviously I was wrong. I guess if Pignose wants the information on here, they can do it themselves. I don't have the time to figure out how to edit articles if the article I posted will be deleted because I am not fast enough.

About La Transfiguration de Notre-Seigneur Jesus-Christ article

What do you mean of what you have written in the "EDIT SUMMARY" section? I just want everything to be clear so that I can improve the article. Thanks.(Addaick 15:12, 1 August 2007 (UTC))

Keep up good work

Thanks very much to your comment about the TRANSFIGURATION and remove my article from the speedy deletion. I will do my best to edit articles. Again many thanks!(Addaick 01:52, 2 August 2007 (UTC))

Elonka

That was not uncivil. I'm reverting my comments. I feel this is something people must see. They must see why people are calling her manipulative. The diff Jeho pointed out showed that exactly. Please dont remove comments like that. Infact, please respond to it. Tell me that telling others to "try to have 5 edits for each dispute-involved edit" is not advising them to be manipulative. --Matt57 02:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I also don't find it uncivil. Unfortunately, an RfA often has us considering things that aren't always positive, but that does not make the message itself uncivil. What I find uncivil is disagreeing with me on this minor thing, and going to support an RfC on unrelated matters. I honestly am confused at why you felt strongly enough to remove it, and honestly don't see what was so rude. I do not endorse incivility. -- Ned Scott 03:49, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

More edit

I have just edited in La Transfiguration de Notre-Seigneur Jesus-Christ article. Please read about it. Many thanks if you can give me some comments.(Addaick 11:00, 2 August 2007 (UTC))

RE:RFA

I did report it. It was quickly dismissed and solved. Thank you for your words. I hope to continue serving the community, regardless of the incident. --Boricuaeddie 16:55, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Undeletion

No, go right ahead. -- John Reaves 23:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: Russavia

I have inserted the relevant diff behind that comment (which was in inverted commas for a reason, btw). Let's allow the general audience to check out the diff and decide for themselves. I am not alleging some kind of collusion conspiracy here, but your comment has clearly embolded him to wreak havok across all kinds of hotel articles, irrespective of their level of notability and verificability.--Huaiwei 01:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar

		The Barnstar of Diligence
		You go a long way in upholding Misplaced Pages: Assume good faith more than any user I can think of. I wish to award you this Barnstar to recognize that excellent quality. Acalamari 17:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Interesting, but I don't think you have anything to worry about. :) You're welcome for the Barnstar. :) Acalamari 17:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:RFA

I hope you understand that my comments don't protest the outcome of Elonka's candidacy. I accept the community's decision there and agree that the bureaucrats closed it correctly. I'd also like to brainstorm on ways to foster successful candidacies among more seasoned editors. I've supported high school students for administratorship, and proudly so. Yet something's not right when notable professionals have a harder time getting sysopped. Let's see what we can do to level the field. Durova 20:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Responded to your comments at my talk page. It's tough when these situations develop and, as an involved party, my comments might appear to be talking about particular outcomes rather than general ones. Cheers and thanks, Durova 21:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

The Scientific Superstar

Aw, Pascal, how could you delete that? It was, and I quote:

based on a band called "Spi hunter" that was a real band never played a live show but had limited sucsess in the word of mouth area

John Paul II Minor Seminary

Hi, I see you closed Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/John Paul II Minor Seminary as a delete stating that "Concerns about notability and referencing have not been adressed (sic)". I believe that notability (it's the newly opened minor seminary for the diocese) was addressed and that lack of better references (it's a brand new school in a non-English speaking country) alone is not a sufficient reason for overruling consensus (or overruling no consensus, in this case). Clearly there was no consensus to delete.

This isn't much of an article, admittedly, and its loss certainly won't scar Misplaced Pages, but I am concerned with the idea that a closing administrator can impose his own concept of notability in an AfD and override consensus. While AfD is a discussion, not a vote, one cannot possibly find a consensus to delete within this particular discussion.

I just wanted to give you the "heads-up" that I plan to ask for a deletion review sometime in the next day or so, but it's very late now and I wanted to give you an opportunity to review the closing first. -- DS1953 06:41, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

List of hotels in Singapore

Don't worry. This is my fourth "controversial deletion" thus far, so I have at least some experience in handling these issues. I am wondering if my "Singapore-centrism" comment on the AfD was proper, though... —Kurykh 02:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm... yes perhaps that choice of words was asking for trouble! Still, you also correctly pointed out the shaky "I like it" and "Useful" comments. I had first proded the article so I was surprised to see what seemed to be like an entirely non-controversial AfD turn into this mud-slinging affair. When I tried to make sense of it, I reviewed Russavia's contribs, and found the fighting words on the noticeboard which I think go a long way in explaining the acrimony of the AfD. Pascal.Tesson 03:10, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

The article was userfied by Huaiwei. I thought this deletion was going to be more exciting...but oh well. —Kurykh 03:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, what a letdown! Although you should be grateful you avoided a DRV with Kappa on your back! Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 03:42, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps I was a tad late in responding to your earlier requests to delink yourself from Russavia, but I think it has to be reiterated that at no point in time do I consider you to be in any kind of "alliance" with him over Singapore-related issues. I do note your level-headed comments in some of his other AFDs on Singapore-related articles, and your comment related to List of banks in Singapore , and I do agree that some Singapore-related articles are worthy for speedy deletion. I chose not to remove that point in Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of hotels in Singapore, because I believe that my observations of Russavia's reactions to your comments remain valid, irrespective of your views on past desputes. There is nothing more to suggest any further involvement on your part, particularly when the provision of diffs would allow any user to assess the situation for themselves. Anyway, I am far more "peace-loving" than my edit history may suggest. A nomination at WP:DRV is only neccesary where the issue cannot be resolved with the administrator. The outcome has been satisfactory, and I see no need to aggravate the situation any further.--Huaiwei 04:02, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Elonka 2

Thanks very much for the kind words, and yes, I'll be trying again soon. :) I actually find the outcome of my RfA somewhat amusing, considering that a few hours after it closed, I was moving on with real-life, at the North American Sci-Fi Convention this weekend, giving talks and signing autographs. My lecture on the Knights Templar went really well! Internet access is a bit spotty here, and it makes Misplaced Pages seem very far away, but don't worry, I'll be back home again soon, and back to my normal schedule. Thanks again for the support, --Elonka 03:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Film AFD

Can you offer more information on your closure of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of films featuring the French Foreign Legion as no consensus? It looks like a delete to me. Otto4711 18:53, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Brian New Zealand 2

I find the opposition there puzzling and troubling. if this guy's not a good enough candidate, I don't know who is. I'd thought of standing for admin in the next week or two myself and Brian is certainly better qualified than I am.

Thanks for sticking up for him. --A. B. 23:40, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

High School Musical 2

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from articles before it has been discussed, as you did with List of High School Musical 2: The Series Episode. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion.

In reguards to the speedy deletion notice: High School Musical 2 is a movie, NOT a television series. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 17:56, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk not deleted

When you deleted a page I was in the process of commenting on the talk page (I was giving reasons for why it should be deleted.) Thus, now we have a non-existent article with an existent talk page. See it here: Talk:Super Will Vandom. Sorry about that, I thought I should let you know. Have a great day, Brusegadi 23:37, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Prod of The Principle of Conjugated Subsystems‎

Hi there, I've outlined my reasons for proposing this for deletion on the discussion page. Do you think it would have been better to put it up for AfD immediately? I've got little experience of the processes for deleting articles! Tim Vickers 05:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

OK, thanks! :) Tim Vickers 15:36, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Copyvios by user:Mike Nepstad

Hi. You reverted copyvio tags by myself and another guy on several copypaste articles contributed by Mike Nepstad, on the basis that the text is public domain.

I think you're mistaken. I have a background in IP rights and I'm certain that this material can't be assumed to be public domain. True, it comes from a federal agency so it ought to be, but the website explictly states "Not all the information on our site is in the public domain" and does not state that this refers only to images. Therefore some text might not be public domain.

It's an annoyingly ambiguous statement but it has to be construed in the most negative fashion. For example some material may have been taken with permission from elsewhere, and the copyright owners may not have given blanket permission for its onward copying. Not only don't we know that for certain, but in fact since the copyright notice on the website alerts us to the fact that some material isn't government copyright we have to assume the worst.

Where copyright is unclear it's the responsibility of the author to clarify it. In this case an assertion of permission is essential.

I've restored the speedy tags. If you're not happy with that we could discuss it in an AfD debate. (Or perhaps the author could do a rather better job than just grabbing text off someone else's website!)

andy 13:49, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I explicitly declined to delete this

, saying: "The information not in the public domain on these sites is specified. Al US PD sites carry this legend, and all are used.USFWS pages are widely used throughout WP .

It is to be construed by common sense. Your proposed rule would require the deletion of all US PD derived material. Please discuss on WP:Copyright. 

Anyway, this is not speedy--read WP:CSD--speedy for copyvio is for unquestionable copyvios, where no assertion of permission is given is given, and this is 1/ not unquestionable. 2/ permission is asserted. In cases which do not meet "unquestionable" it must be discussed.,"

(we will obviously have a discussion coming---do you want to start?) DGG (talk) 01:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Sex ratio in harems

Hi, Pascal. Concerning your deletion (→Sex ratio in harems - appears to be a very fringe theory based on anecdotal evidence)

Here is all the information that I have (published of course with all the references):

Humans are not strongly monogamous, therefore different secondary sex ratio (SR) deviations from 1:1 may arise. For Nigerians Thomas (1913) has reported secondary SR values in relation to wives number (table 1). It may be concluded that there exists reverse relation between secondary and tertiary SR.

Furthermore, if a negative feedback exists, an increase of the secondary SR can be observed in harems. Table 1 shows data on three harems: Chu Juanchshan (U Han, 1980) (1328-1398, China), Ramses II (Ebers, 1965) (1317-1251 B. C., Egypt), and Mauli Ismail (Aisha & Afrika today, 1970) (1646-1727, Morocco). These data are not easy to account for by purely stochastic sex determination. The probability of random deviation from 1:1 under such boy excess is 10. The number of mothers and progeny makes the effect statistically significant; the number of fathers is very small.

U Han, 1980. Zizneopisanie Chu Juanchana. (Life of Chu Juanchan) Nauka (Science), Moscow, p. 227 (in Russian, translated from Chinese).

Ebers, G., 1965. Warda. Nauka (Science), Moscow p. 476 (in Russian).

Aisha and Afrika today. 1970. N 5: 53-54 (in Russian).

Thomas, C., 1913. Report on the Ibo-speaking peoples of Nigeria Pt. 1, London.

Number of Wifes / IIISR / IISR: 1 / 50 / 49; 2 / 33.3 / 51; 3 / 25 / 52; 4 / 20 / 55; 5 / 16.7 / 57 wife

Harems (Reference) / IIISR / II SR:

Chu Juanchan (U Han,1980) / ---a) / 62.0+7.5

Ramses II (Ebers,1965) / 1.35 (74) / 62.0+3.6

Mauli Ismail (Aisha,1970) / ---a) / 61.8+1.6

a)the numerical values not cited; c)wives number are in parenthesis. By the sign criterion negative feedback effect is valuable (P=0.01).

For Mauli Ismail it’s sort of anecdotal, but true. Here is the story: He had so many children that it was hard to count them, so he put two jars close to his harem and when a boy was born he put small sword in one jar, for a girl he put a mirror. After all swords and mirrors were counted it was 548:340.Sashag 01:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

note: this also reveales on why everyone keeps deleting that image. OV

Thank you for unblock

Just thought I'd thank you for unblocking me on this IP. The anonymous user attached to it has been highly disrespectful of content on Misplaced Pages, and I don't blame the admin who instituted the IP ban. Kewlio 19:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:McAndrews-Held-Malloy-Logo.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:McAndrews-Held-Malloy-Logo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 21:55, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi!

Hey Pascal, thanks for the message! I would have stayed logged in but Misplaced Pages looks really different in the white layout so I was editing without logging in. Can you remove your message from the user talk page? Right now, probably everyone from this IP is seeing it. 38.115.129.43 18:39, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Done. I did not know there was a different layout when you don't log in but I'm sure you can fix that by choosing an appropriate skin. Pascal.Tesson 18:43, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Cool! I switched from "Cologne Blue" to "Classic" It still looks different than the standard page but is a lot closer to it. Thanks for all your help with the page and for removing the speedy deletion tag. Hope the Orange banner ("New Message") disappears soon. Athar Khan 18:47, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Quick Update: MonoBook looks identical to the regular Misplaced Pages Page. Now, I can do all my edits while logged in. Thanks again!

User:Dahn/Sandbox

Hi. You recently deleted User:Dahn/Sandbox, without bothering to ask me about it. The request was most likely made by an IP - not my IP, and most likely an IP used by the banned User:Bonaparte (who was vandalizing my user page just as this was occurring). I find this unacceptable, and I demand that it and its content be recovered asap. I find it unbelievable that such a request was even taken into account. Dahn 10:32, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

He is using another IP to delete this message over and over again. Dahn 10:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, there. My assumption here, if I'm not mistaken, is that you mistook this for a legitimate {{db-userreq}} speedy request. The edit was made by 85.10.201.218 (talk · contribs), who I've recently blocked following some disruptive edits (including sockpuppetry). If there was another reason for this deletion, my apologies for the intrusion, and please let me know at your earliest convenience. Thanks. – Luna Santin (talk) 10:55, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Apology accepted. I'm sorry myself for the reaction I had, which must have seemed rather rude - I was unsettled by the discovery, and I did now if the content was necessarily retrievable. Such mistakes are bound to happen once in a while (especially since I'm now sure you were focusing on much more important issues). I've protected the page from IP editors, so it's currently secured - in retrospect, I guess I should have expected that vandal to try his hand at this. Dahn 17:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the love!

Deleted image talk pages

Hi Calton. Just to let you know that many image talk pages cannot be speedied because they contain a discussion of their deletion.

And those are marked as such, and I don't tag those -- not that I really see the point, but again, those are clearly marked. Everything else? No point in keeping them. --Calton | Talk 02:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Speaking of which, regarding Image talk:Astrotrainart.jpg: you'd best go undelete the couple of dozen identical and equally pointless image talk pages in this particular series, or at least have the courtesy to mark them as actually worth archiving so I don't waste any further time. --Calton | Talk 02:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

In any case, these errant talk pages are not posing any problem and it's unclear to me why you would choose to spend much time hunting them down

Because they're a waste of server space, they're attached to non-existent pages, the "discussions" almost always shed no light whatsoever, because any "discussion" is almost always meaningless since the image in question can't be seen -- and given that image titles aren't unique, could be in reference to anything at all -- and the notion of hanging onto them because maybe someone someday might could make some kind of objection at DRV, possibly, is pretty silly. It's unclear to me why someone would choose to spend time reversing these in the face of all that. --Calton | Talk 03:00, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

unblock

Hello! I was working on our university's infomation(Keimyung University) which was out-dated in here. Unfortunately I didn't know the licese thing about images. As result, my work were deleted by you. Would you please recover it ASAP? It's took me about 4 hours to up-date it. If the images are mattered, I'll delete the images. If you let me know how to get my license, it would be great help! and I will upload as your advice. is it possilbe if I upload the images which doesn't have copy rights? I'm very frustrated coz I don't know how to prove my authorization to you!

contents

Hello? My unblock has expired. If you have any reason for deleting it, please let me know. Otherwise, could you please recover the contents about keimyung University which I updated? The information about Keimyung University is too out-dated and also has not much information. It will possibly give a wrong information. So we need to update it. I refered many other universities' page in Misplaced Pages before I updated, and I found they also atteched images which has no licenses. If you delete the contents because the images I used has copyright on it, I replace it to images without copyright.

If the images still violated your policy, I won't use those and I'll use only text.

Please recover the contents ASAP. Thank you!

Hi,

Very Recently I decided to update the information on Calypsonians in Barbados, however at the time I realised that the information I had was missing some bits to it, so I just started the biography on him (Anderson Armstrong) with intention to return with complete info.

Copyright / Conflict Of Interest

Hi, you and other people have recently told me that edits I was making to certain pages were both against copyright and conflict of interest regulations. I have a letter from the content holders (Quantel) giving us (the IABM) permission to use their content on wikipedia. It also addresses the conflict of interest issue, as both websites that will be linked to on each page are non-commercial, free of charge, and provide useful definitions of technology terms relating to the broadcast & media technology sector, which may be of value to a researcher. How do we let wikipedia see this letter, either by forwarding or scanning the letter? And if this answers the issues that have been raised by you and two other people, will it prevent people continuing to delete my edits? Thanks again, Cindy141 16.31, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Academic citations for Fun Home

Hi, Pascal. I spent a few hours in the Yale library this afternoon, and despite having to wrestle with an uncooperative computer system I was able to find a few more academic citations for Fun Home. Specifically, I found a review in Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide, and an essay in PMLA which began with a page quoted from Fun Home and discussed the book for two pages later in the essay. I can and probably will go back there when I get the opportunity, to search for more academic sources, but I was wondering if you could take a look at the changes since your comment on the FAC and let me know if I'm heading in the right direction. How much more do you think the article needs before it fulfills the "comprehensiveness" criterion? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:48, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you deleted the w3player article. There was some very useful information in that article that saved me, and doubtlessly saved others a lot of anguish.

Just to let you know that most cleanup templates, like "unreferenced", "fact", "cleanup", "refimprove"etc., are best not "subst"ed. See WP:SUBST for more details. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 17:38 20 August 2007 (GMT).

Deletion from admin policy page

Hi Pascal, I hope you don't mind my leaving a message here.

Earlier today I was looking at some deletion policy pages, including Misplaced Pages:Deletion guidelines for administrators. A user who was not an admin had deleted one of the policy points out of hand, with the edit summary rationale of "this should absolutely not be policy." No consensus, no nothing--he just deleted the part of the policy he didn't like.

I've had a brief conflict with this particular user before, when he deleted cited, sourced and well described information from an article I work on with the edit summary "unsourced, not even in text." I can deal with reverting disruptive edits in articles, but it sort of disturbs me that this editor would now go so far as to try to change guidelines for administrators to suit his wishes.

I could be overreacting, I could be irritated over nothing, but as I said, the fact that he's now trying to change policy pages on a WP:IDONTLIKEIT basis really bothers me. I really don't feel I'm qualified to judge so I thought I'd run it by an admin. I chose you to bring this to because I notice you've dealt with this user before. Thanks for your help, best, DanielEng 04:00, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for responding so quickly. I was reluctant to leave a message for Squeakbox for the same reason as you: based on my past dealing with him, I figured he'd ignore anything I said. I was just seeking some input from an admin to see if there was anything that needed to be done about it other than rv and moving on (is disrupting a policy page different from disrupting a regular page, or is he getting out of control?). For now I'll just keep watching the page. Thanks again, DanielEng 04:11, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I understand completely; talks on Wiki can get really nasty and I wouldn't want to start a battle or pull anyone else into one.
