Bertilo Wennergren declined speedy

Hello, I have declined the speedy deletion of this article as it asserts notability-- "the journal La Ondo de Esperanto named him as Esperantist of the Year for 2006 in recognition of his Plena Manlibro de Esperanta Gramatiko." Cheers, Dlohcierekim 16:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

A tag had been placed on this article requesting its speedy deletion from Misplaced Pages under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion (because of apparent failure to indicate how or why the subject was notable, i.e., why an article about that subject should be included.) I suggest that Bertilo Wennergren is notable not just because he is the subject of articles in the Esperanto and Swedish Wikipedias, but because he meets at least three criteria suggested for notability:

1. The person has been the subject of a credible independent biography (Gramatikisto, rokisto aŭ perversulo?, by Sonja Kisa).
2. The person has received significant recognized awards or honors (Esperantist of the Year for 2006)
3. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field (author of a 700-page scholarly reference grammar of Esperanto, Plena Manlibro de Esperanta Gramatiko -- a book which he is making freely available for download on the Internet) Objectivesea 00:44, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Allogona taxobox

Hi, Od Mishehu. Thanks for checking out the Allogona page I just put up. I must admit, though, to being puzzled by your changes to the taxobox. Basically, you deleted the information relating to four taxonomic levels. You termed this a "correction". I don't know why. Does Misplaced Pages now have a maximum information content for taxoboxes?

I don't mean to sound argumentative (although I suppose I do seem that way). I have noticed, though, that gastropod genera use several sizes of taxoboxes. See Cypraea for a long one, Cepaea for a medium one, and Helix for a short one. I certainly prefer the greater amount of information in the long or medium versions, particularly since this information is not usually provided in the text. Do you mind if I put it back? Tim Ross· 16:15, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

According to Misplaced Pages:Taxobox_usage#Classification:

Taxoboxes should include all major ranks above the taxon described in the article, plus minor ranks that are important to understanding the classification of the taxon described in the article, or which are discussed in the article. Other minor ranks should be omitted.

For example, in the taxobox for the genus Formica, it's appropriate to include entries for tribe and subfamily, since those are an aid to understanding how Formica relates to other genera in the family Formicidae. But it wouldn't be appropriate to include the superorder Endopterygota, since all genera of ants are in that superorder; it isn't particularly interesting at this level.

Od Mishehu 17:55, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I understand entirely, and certainly agree with Misplaced Pages:Taxobox_usage#Classification on this point. The actual application of that reference, though, is anything but clear cut. As you are no doubt aware, gastropods are a large and complex group. Kingdom, phylum, and class are certainly enough higher classification for almost anyone dealing with snails, but the details of the lower taxonomic levels, such as Systellommatophora vs. Basommatophora vs. Eupulmonata, or Acteophila vs. Trimusculiformes vs. Stylommatophora, provide a great deal of information about the specific mollusks, even if one is not particularly familiar with the family in question, which is often the case. The Orthurethra vs. Sigmurethra distinction is also important, whatever name one applies to that taxonomic level. In other words, I would argue that in the case of gastropods, these intermediate taxa are both interesting and important for basic understanding. It would be cleaner and neater to limit ourselves to just the major ranks, but when dealing with gastropods, we would be eliminating a lot of important information which can be provided at little real cost. Does that sound reasonable to you? Tim Ross· 22:38, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

WP:ACC archiving

FYI (unless you actually like doing it yourself), it seems the bot is back in operation, and you don't need to manually archive anymore.

Lynn valley elementary

I noticed at this articles AfD page Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Lynn valley elementary that it had been speedy deleted under the A7 criteria, which states "An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, organisation, or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant". I don't believe this covers schools, in all likelihood it would not have survived the AfD but it really should have been allowed to run for longer than 1hour and 19 minutes. My regards to you.

Thread port

Hoaxes qualify for speedy, do they not? Here's the giveaway: It is sometimes referred to as the culp-hole in honor of the artist who first named this important orifice. Zero relevant Google hits for any permutation of culp-hole or thread port and not-so-subtle scatalogical joke. I've been doing fiber crafts for over 30 years. Sorted hundreds of stubs tonight. This one leapt out; it's garbage. Durova 09:54, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

From WP:HOAX:

Note that hoaxes are generally not speedy deletion candidates. It is not enough for just one or two editors to investigate a hoax. There have been cases in the past where something has been thought to have been a hoax by several editors, but has turned out to be true, and merely obscure.

From the list of non-criteria at WP:CSD:

• Hoaxes. If even remotely plausible, a suspected hoax article should be subjected to further scrutiny in a wider forum. Note that "blatant and obvious hoaxes and misinformation" are subject to speedy deletion as vandalism.

So hoaxes are not speedy-deletable. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I see. Okay, going the regular route then. Thanks for explaining it. Durova 16:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Please explain

I left this message at Ten Pound Hammer's talk page. He replied that it was you who deleted an article 90 minutes after it was nominated for deletion at AfD. If an article is nominated and up for discussion, how can you delete that quickly? It seems to me that this kind of deletion subverts the purpose of AfD. Why should I not nominate this for overturn at Deletion Review? I doubt I'd want to keep the article anyway, but I know I want articles at AfD to get a fair hearing. I'd be interested in your response before taking this further. Noroton (talk) 02:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

TenPoundHammer tagged it for speedy deletion under criteria for speedy deletion number 7 for articles - which says the following:

An article about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

Looking at the page, I decided that it fits the definition of this CSD, so I speedy deleted it. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 05:56, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

The last sentence of A7 seems to forbid just what you did:

Other article types are not eligible for deletion by this criterion. If controversial, as with schools, list the article at Articles for deletion instead.

Please reverse the deletion and relist at AfD. Noroton (talk) 16:24, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

This sentence wasn't there at the time - see this version which doesn't mention schools. This was added about 30 1/2 hours later, see this diff. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 17:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I stand corrected, and I appreciate your responses. But why should the speedy deletion process trump an already-started AfD? Once an article is listed at AfD, other editors start looking it over and investing time in it. It seems to me it's a waste of everybody's time to speedy delete once that AfD process is started. (If there had already been some support for keeping the school, speedy deleting it would have been much worse.) In addition, deletions of school articles tend to be controversial (even some elementary schools get kept), and isn't the speedy deletion process meant for cases in which there is a clear consensus or clearly delineated policy that forces deletion?

User:UBX/NDC and other userboxes

Can I point out to you that User:UBX was explicitly created to host migrated userboxes - read the userpage. Userboxes in this user's userspace should certainly not be deleted as "vandalism". Hut 8.5 11:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I see there that Mets501 created the account so that he can place userboxes there. He does this using an other account of his, but this isn't blanket permission for anyone who wants to do it. If you can show that Niaz had permission, or if Mets501 states that Niaz may place those pages there, I will happily undelete them. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:10, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I have undeleted them. Mets501 has given people blanket permission to place userboxes in the userspace of User:UBX, and plenty of people have done so. Please use another deletion mechanism rather than speedy deletion if you want them deleted, especially as this userbox is not explicit vandalism. Hut 8.5 12:15, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Can you please give me a link to where Mets501 gave such permission? עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:16, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

The sole reason why I created User:UBX was to host userboxes userfied via the Userbox Migration., It was created to host userboxes migrated via the Userbox Migration. both on User:UBX. People have been adding userboxes to this user's userspace for almost a year now. If you want clarification, I suggest you post on User talk:Mets501. Hut 8.5 12:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I said explicit permission. This statement only explicitly states that Mets501, and his bot, are allowed to do it. I have no doubt that this is, in fact, his alternite account, but where's the explicit permission for other users to do it? עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:26, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Did I get it right now? Aditya 12:36, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Though it's a pointless debate and people are creating userboxes on UBX space for a longtime - still to make this issue clear, I requested Mets501 to visit this page and express his view regarding this matter. Cheers - Niaz 19:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I originally placed this on the userpage as an invitation for others to create userboxes in User:UBX's userspace, until I removed it due to complaints. The trend has been (and I approve of the trend) to just go ahead and create the userboxes. So Hut 8.5, you can feel free to continue creating the userboxes, and I'd ask Od Mishehu to delete undelete (sorry, that was a typo) the ones he has already deleted. Sorry for the controversy. —METS501 (talk) 19:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Bitchy Jones's Diary

Hi - I profoundly disagree with the abrupt deletion of the above article. This is a blog which has, as I posted, attracted praise from a variety of other blogs in similar spheres, the author has just appeared on national TV, and it's coming up for half a million views. If Girl With A One-Track Mind and Belle de Jour (writer) are notable, I strongly suggest that this one is too, particularly as the stub category I carefully sorted it into has been described as "eminently populable". This is exactly the sort of thing that should be going in there, IMHO.

In terms of the specific criteria under WP:WEB, it fulfils (1) per the comments on sites independent of itself which I linked in the article and the Channel 4 show which I also linked.

Thanks. Nmg20 (talk) 16:37, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh - and it was nominated for an award at the 2007 erotic awards, which gets it half-way to meeting criterion (2) on WP:WEB, too. Nmg20 (talk) 16:51, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

No incoming links on Misplaced Pages doesn't mean that no one will come looking for it by other means.

That makes no sense: it's not linked from anywhere nor is it an obvious search term or phrase, so how, exactly, is someone going to "come look for it"? Other than the "Random article" link, that is. --Calton | Talk 23:14, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Someone may have seen this article under its old name, and left a link to it on some other site. The "incoming links" only lists links from on-site, not links from off-site. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletions of redirects

When something doesn't apply to db-redirtypo because of a date please use the db-redirmisnomer to delete it. These articles uses quotes only for emphasis which is against Misplaced Pages's policy. Please be bold and don't just decline the tags. Yesterday, i tagged 100 redirects for deletion and they were deleted with no problem. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Looking at the text of R3, it only applies to recently created redirects - both parts. I, as a new admin, won't touch any between 1 and 12 months old; I think that 1 month is recent enough, and 12 months is too long ago. Other admins may disagree, but that's how I understand it. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I was searching the criteria yesterday. I can't find something that fits exactly in the case. Do you suggest to Rfd them? As i said yesterday i had no problem to delete (exactly) 100 redirects with R3, maybe i was lucky and all the articles were recently created. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

That may be a good idea. Keep in mind that frequently, there are pages/redirects/images which there is no real reason to keep, but which aren't speedy-able - recently there was a case of a user who uploaded several free-use images for A7-deletable articles, for example - and the best solution in such cases is probably to XfD such pages. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Why did you delete the entry for Jim Coffey? Apparently being a professional boxer is not significant enough to merit an entry, but Pull my finger along with 10,000 myspace bands are? It would also have been considerate to notify me, was there even an AFD debate, or did you just go forward and delete it without consensus? -RiverHockey (talk) 17:33, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

1. I deleted it because it didn't explain in what way he was important. Did he beat these opponents in notable competitions? The article doesn't say so.
2. I didn't notify you, because the page was tagged for deletion by someone else - and I thought that the person who tagged the page had notified you.
3. There was no AfD - this was deleted through speedy deletion. It was tagged with a tag which alerts admins to the pages, I reviewed it and decided that the page is deletable under CSD A7, as a biographical article which doesn't explain the significance of its subject.

Deletion of Franklin Bridge

I believe that the Franklin Bridge wiki page I created was unjustly deleted. They meet more than one of the criteria required for musicians, specifically: 9. Has won or placed in a major music competition

They competed on a prime time national music competition on a major network, FOX. I included the external link to "The Next Great American Band" as well as an external link to the main website (http://americanband.msn.com). I don't know why that wasn't valid. 9 of the 12 bands that competed have wiki pages.

Well, above was mostly directed at Od Mishehu who obviously was not and actually could not be aware of a previous deletion discussion. We have different deletion processes and one principle is that if a page has survived a prior deletion discussion, it may not be speedily deleted, except in the case of newly discovered copyright infringements. Since he doesn't seem to have been online since then, I'll restore the article for procedural reasons. This, however, does not imply that we'll keep it eventually, since he or anybody else can open a second discussion to clarify above dispute about notability. --Tikiwont (talk) 13:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Now that's rich! I didn't realize that the editor that you have devoted so much time to smearing all over the Internet is, in fact, an editor in good standing. It also seems to appear that you, acting on your own, without benefit of any fair administrative process, are responsible for tagging two IP addresses and the user known as Tai Streets, as "sockpuppets" of a person you appear to be harassing and stalking. None of these users appear to be blocked for any "wrong doing" either. So, what are you doing, Calton? What's the point? This seems to me like a very improper use of Misplaced Pages.

And to ask, once again, the point of doing so other than to fulfill some bureaucratic threshold of yours?

A few more points for your common sense to ponder:

• Attempts to scrub mention of Wyatt sockpuppet on IP Talk page. Twice.
• Attempts to re-add redacted personal information
• Early, out-of-the-blue, personal attack

Apparently personal attacks, evidence-free charges of harassment, and blind stalking of a long-term editor's edits by a new editor are okay, as long as the right bureaucratic checkboxes are or are not ticked off. Got it. --Calton | Talk 08:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not an WP:SSP admin, so I don't handle sock-puppetry cases. There's no need to try and convince me.

If you had come with a clean slate (in regard to MegaMom), and complained about her at WP:AN/WP:ANI, then I promise you she would have been dealt with by the admins here. When you come and accuse her of sockpuppetry, you no longer have a clean slate regarding her, and unless you can convince the correct admins that she is a sock puppet, you should probably just leave her alone.

• Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Gang stalking - One of Wyatt's pet theories.

• Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Alt.usenet.kooks - attempts to get Alt.usenet.kooks deleted as "libel". Note anon IP article edits around the time of the AFD such as this and this
• Talk:Dream/Archive 1 - Wyatt tries to shoehorn in his crackpot theories into Dream. Includes some classic Ehrenfels paranoia and details of his vanity-press publications (...it's not only a vanity press, it's a vanity press with a bad reputation even among other vanity presses ).
• Talk:Cyberstalking - attempts to hijack this article. Note especially the contributions of sockpuppet Curt Jurgens (talk · contribs)

User:MegaMom had -- what? -- less than 350 edits over those nine months before popping up at AN/I to start retailing, verbatim, Wyatt's bizarre little conspiracy theories about me, along with some bogus -- and completely evidence-free, of course -- nonsense about how I was harassing "her" "son" on Misplaced Pages. The duck test applies, in spades: User:MegaMom is a User:Wyatt Ehrenfels sockpuppet or, at best, meatpuppet, and I'm not going to start pretending the sky is green when it clearly isn't. --Calton | Talk 17:10, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi,

Do you happen to know who could do this? --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 20:19, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

If you need an edit done to a protected page, you can request it on the talk page using the {{editprotected}} template. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:04, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Ehh ... that's not what i asked.

An anonymous user added a wrong interwiki link to a page in the Italian Misplaced Pages, and thanks to the bots it propagated to all the other Wikipedias. The same IP edited your user page, so i thought that you may know who could that be. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 13:57, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

No, I don't. I see that on English Misplaced Pages, this IP's edits are mixed - some are vandalism, others are good contributions. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:27, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Question re vandalism and blocking

Do Admins ever block vandals on sight after only one edit like that, if it is so obviously vandalism, distasteful, etc.? Cirt (talk) 16:58, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Only in a case of an obvious sock-puppet of an already blocked vandal. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:09, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Wyatt Ehrenfels

Since you know a bit about the history of this, could you please process the speedy request I've placed on User talk:Wyatt Ehrenfels - MegaMom's comment was, she agrees, misplaced and hasty, and leaving the comment in the page history won't serve to end the on-going edit warring and general incivility. Comments on her talk page cover it. Thanks. gb 13:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks. gb 13:37, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Fair enough - I've 'prod'ed it instead. You're the first admin who's actually told me why they declined a suggested delete of mine, so thanks for the information. :) CultureDrone (talk) 13:23, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe that by leaving you one message (a locally templated one), I may prevent you from tagging lots of non-speedy pages out of ignorance. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the copyvio paragraph from the page. If the remaining article is also copyvio, feel free to leave a new {{db-copyvio}} tag for it, based on its source. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:10, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

LOL – Not much left after your edit! No it’s fine now and thanks. Shoessss |  Chat  14:30, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Not much - but enough to not be speedy deletable. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

No, I am in agreement with you! Nothing wrong with stubs as the article is being worked on. In fact, I should have just deleted the paragraph instead of tagging. Call it the first edit of the day, still wasn’t awake. Shoessss |  Chat  14:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Copyvios

If an article has enough non-copyvio information to survive other CSD criteria, as Little Angel Theatre does, then it shouldn't be deleted as a copyvio - instead, the copyvio sections should be removed. For your information,

And for YOUR information, if the article begins as a complete copyright violation and remains substantially the same, then it's a derivative work of a copyright violation and must be deleted. --Calton | Talk 15:30, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Racist Rant By "non-existent" User

Hi,

If you have any time I wondered if you could advise. A user named "rtc" User:rtc has managed to run their account in such a way that makes it impossible to quote (link to) his user page during discussions, even though you can link to his edit page like http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Rtc , as Misplaced Pages thinks he doesn't exist. For example, using the same WikiMarkup of ] I can quote my own username ] like so. How they have managed this is unknown to me but this does not appear to be in violation of any Misplaced Pages Username policy that I have managed to read, and using the above link they still manage to somehow sign their posts.

The reason why I ask your advice is because in a very long and protracted discussion the user posted a long racist rant (chapter 24, last post) on national superiority, and has been using this excuse of "superiority" (as I only recently discovered) as the primary means for ignoring valid claims made by people from other nations (i.e. me) about an article's content and reverting edits without any counter-claim or justification (bar "superiority"). I have frequently wanted to quote their username with a link but I haven't been able to do so as Misplaced Pages thinks they doesn't exist.

I don't want to forcefully create their personal page, or comment on it (as suggested on WP:RFCN) as that is going to seriously stoke the fire and turn an article-focussed discussion into a personal war; very stressful at best and not something that addresses the article's issues. But not being able to link to his user page because he appears to not exist is causing me concern.

Finally, I am not at this time asking for any assistance regarding the article discussion itself, something that may change in the future. However, I will say I would like to keep the racist rant in place to demonstrate that the claims being made about the article are real claims, regardless of any further action against the user that other people may deem necessary.

Many Thanks in Advance,

Calton

I'm sorry to tell you that User:Calton continues to ignore your warnings to him. Most recently, he discussed me on another editor's talk page, under a section he titled User:Wyatt Ehrenfels and specifically referred to me as "Wyatt's meat puppet" Please, see this. Again, I am NOT Wyatt and I have NO affiliation, WHAT-SO-EVER with Ehrenfels. Trashing me to other editors and continuing to make this allegation against me, after multiple editors have asked him to stop, seems to be another violation of WP:CIVIL. MegaMom (talk) 07:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

A meat puppet is not a sockpuppet - it's a different person whose behavior is similar, who may seem to be a sockpuppet, but in fact isn't. Calton wasn't violating the instructions I gave him with that post. I haven't yet had a chance to look over his other recent edits, but that one clearly isn't a sockpuppetry accusation. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:32, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

With all due respect, I beg to differ on that. Misplaced Pages includes "meat puppets" as a subset of sock puppets under its guidelines WP:SOCK.

Meatpuppet is a Misplaced Pages term of art meaning one who edits on behalf of or as proxy for another editor. While Misplaced Pages assumes good faith especially for new users, the recruitment of new editors to Misplaced Pages for the purpose of influencing a survey, performing reverts, or otherwise attempting to give the appearance of consensus is strongly discouraged. A new user who engages in the same behavior as another user in the same context, and who appears to be editing Misplaced Pages solely for that purpose, shall be subject to the remedies applied to the user whose behavior they are joining. The term meatpuppet is derogatory and should be used only with care.

Being compassionate for another editors' situation, or sharing a similar point of view regarding violations of Misplaced Pages's own published guidelines is a long haul from acting as a proxy for (in this case) an editor who isn't even banned. The concerns I have voiced regarding Calton's flagrant violation's of Misplaced Pages's own rules regarding defamation of character, right of privacy for non-public figures, wiki-stalking and harassment are valid, documentable points of fact. Certainly, his treatment of me in this situation falls outside the boundaries of WP:Civil. There is an ongoing issue with Calton regarding civility for which he has previously been blocked. In this particular situation, he has received several clear cut warnings, yet he appears to be snubbing his nose at those warnings and trying to push the envelope.

Please, handle this situation however you would like. You seem to be one of the fairer, more even handed, cool headed administrators I have researched on this site. In the interest of fairness, however, I do wish to advise you that in addition to my own recreational editing on Misplaced Pages, I am also doing research for an article for a major national newspaper on Misplaced Pages and Cyberstalking. Calton's actions and their impacts on his "victims" lives are to be a major focus of the piece I am writing. Although I have yet to make contact with Wyatt Erhenfel's, I certainly hope to. I am in the process of contacting and interviewing all of the people and businesses featured on his "attack" sub page. I have already been able to verify official stalking complaints against "Calton" having been filed with at least one police department, and there are several complaints regarding his actions with the National Center for Victims of Violent Crime, in accordance with the Federal Violence Against Women Act. Do as your training dictates, but be advised that whatever action you take - or fail to take in this matter - is likely to be published verbetim. Thanks, MegaMom (talk) 08:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
