Perhaps while you're trying to help build this encyclopedia, you could look up WP:CIVIL as well? Ironholds (talk) 23:39, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

So do you think that demanding deletion of other people's efforts to build the encyclopedia without taking a few seconds to look for evidence is civil? Phil Bridger (talk) 23:46, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
I do look for evidence; I appreciate I'm not infallible, and will, in the future, pay more attention. As it happens I think that what I do is not uncivil, no; since the problem here was WP:ENT, I confirmed that her roles were in most cases minor and in other cases not major enough to pass the guideline. The irony of a man accusing me of being uncivil and acting rashly after your actions is not lost on me. Ironholds (talk) 00:08, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Regarding Ndum

I'm sorry for the bad speedy delete template. When looking through I thought I saw the information, but looking back after your edit it wasn't there. However, I'm not sure if the page violates some other policy, per Nkin and would like to ask for your advice regarding the matter. I saw that Nkin was WP:PRODed because "foreign language vocabulary entry with no indication of potential for expansion -- WP is not a dictionary" (I'm not trying to justify my mistake as WP:Other stuff exists isn't a valid argument.

The user moved Bankon language to a bad title.

How should I deal with Ndum? Thank you for you advice, NativeForeigner /Contribs 00:34, 1 January 2010 (UTC)


What do you think

About this article in my user space ? I noticed you opine at AfD's and on subjects of other countries, and I think if I remember correctly also on the Balkans. This article was my first one and was deleted after an AfD. I have been improving it and continued working on it. What is your opinion on it and are you able to offer me some assistance/guidance/suggestion on it? Thank you in advance for your opinion. Turqoise127 (talk) 20:47, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, you've certainly got plenty of sources there. I don't have time right now to look through the article in detail, but should be able to do so in the next few days. I can't claim to be fluent in Croatian, but do have some knowledge of the language from having studied linguistics (specialising in Slavic languages) at university over 30 years ago, so I'll try to evaluate the sources.

Thank you so much for adding references to the King Radio article. I was hoping to add some myself but my copy of Calypso Callaloo has gone missing. He was an important calypsonian and should have an article. James Fryer (talk) 13:09, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Marcello Guido

Apologies if my ranting comes across as too personal. I'm afraid that one of the various Misplaced Pages things that get me worked up is the deletion of subjects that clearly merit an article before the article is complete. There are quite a lot of articles that start out as a stub/invitation to contribute,and gradually get added to as they go from being possibly worth keeping, to probably, to secure. As long as a subject is clearly not notable it seems to be frustrating the whole object of Misplaced Pages to make knowledge available to block the flow of the process.

Bekim Bejta

I would appreciate some help regarding Bekim Bejta. The article was first proded here on 2009-11-19. The next day, 91.187.103.5 blanked the page without comment here and Coffee soon reverted that edit. Then, on 2009-11-21, 91.187.103.2 deleted the prod tag without comment or discussion. Minor changes were then made to the article until I replaced the deleted prod, which you indicate has been previously contested. Is deleting the prod or blanking the page the same as contesting it? I'm a novice at this. Tim Ross (talk) 17:16, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

The short answer is yes, deleting the prod tag does count as contesting it, as described at WP:PROD. The proposed deletion process is a quick and dirty mechanism by which an article can be deleted without discussion if nobody thinks it should be kept. Once someone has indicated by removing the prod template that they do want it kept then it needs to go for wider discussion at WP:AFD before it can be deleted. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:02, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Tim Ross (talk) 22:04, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Emelio Caligdong

You reverted the edit with a reference but you didn't even put the link. I also checked that source and it doesn't even mention anything related to the topic of Emelio Caligdong. Pbnjtime (talk) 11:25, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I've fixed the citation - I must have taken the information from the wrong browser window. Please note for future reference that there is no requirement for sources to be available online, so the fact that I didn't provide a link is irrelevant. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:42, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm completely aware of that, but I'm also aware that Manila Bulletin has an online site which they also post news which comes from their newspaper. That's why I had to bring that issue up. Pbnjtime (talk) 14:16, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually, there is no shred of notability in the article as it sits. I was giving it time to develop, so the picture would become clearer. That's why I declined the speedy-- he's obviously significant, but has no indication of notability. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 08:34, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

El Shaitan

Hi, I saw you deprodded this article stating that "there are loads of sources cited apart from the source work)". Are you sure that these sources are not just trivial in-passing mentions of this character while discussing the (certainly notable) movie itself? --Crusio (talk) 09:58, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Comment: Some of them did not discuss the movie itself. E.g. Shaheen's "Reel bad Arabs", Rovin's "The encyclopedia of super villains" and Everson's "The bad guys" have nothing to deal with movie, they are all about the c h a r a c t e r. -- SerdechnyG (talk) 10:52, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Chris Cox prod

Thanks for catching that it was a repeat PROD -- I had missed that, and I hate when I miss things like that....--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:07, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Nothing to worry about. It was easy to miss because the previous prodder didn't provide an edit summary. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:25, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Could that be fixed with a bot? We already have bots indicating "section blanking" and "very short article"; why not "prod tag added" when the edit has no summary? B.Wind (talk) 20:11, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm sure it could, but I'm not the best one to ask for advice, because I haven't done any programming for over ten years, and prior to that my experience was in IBM System/370 and System/390 assembler language rather than in any of these new-fangled languages that today's youngsters use for programming bots and the like.

Novyi Tevriz

Thanks for renaming the article. I couldn't find anything about it at its current name, and did look on the Russian Misplaced Pages. I wasn't sure what to do with it so just prodded it hoping a helpful editor would come along and fix, so thanks for doing so. Aiken 18:18, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Lennox Raphael

Just so you know, sourcing or not had nothing to do with why I WP:PROD'd the article. The earlier version did not make clear why he should be included in WP. Maurreen (talk) 18:45, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

OK, but I think it's a good idea to at least do a Google Books search before proposing such an article for deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:23, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Vote India

If this article is to remain than it either needs more significant coverage, needs to seem less like an advert, and needs to not be an orphan. -Cam 19:44, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

There is plenty of significant coverage in the sources in the article, making it less like an advert can be achieved by editing rather than deletion, and being an orphan is utterly irrelevant to deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:54, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Chris Edgecombe

I notice that you have proposed the deletion of this entry for a very self effacing, brilliant chemist. I have known Chris for many decades, initially in the pharmaceutical chemistry field and latterly in industrial chemistry. I asked him to write a short piece explaining some of the more important work that he has done which has a significant contribution to ensuring we live in a clean world. Chris has always worked quietly in the background and generally has an aversion to any self-seeking or publicity of any sort. It is interesting that a person such as yourself seeks to eradicate any mention of him or his contribution to world science. In fact, he will be quite pleased to have his entry removed as he finds any acknowledgement of his talent an embarrassment. You say there is no mention of him or his work on search engines - I'm not surprised as this is quite deliberate on his part. (If you judge the value of a person or their contribution to society on whether they have an entry on Google then this is a very sad forum) If, however, you were involved in his area of expertise in either Europe or USA, you would find he is very well known indeed. It is true that he is not well liked either in Government circles (because of his work with Biofuels (Government has to pay subsidies !!)) or with Greenpeace and the like, who don't want power stations cleaned up they just want them all shut down (even tried to use MV Rainbow Warrior to block his ocean tankers from reaching UK power stations). All of this is another subject and one on which he doesn't want to be drawn. I now have a different opinion of Misplaced Pages as it seems to be at the mercy of any ill informed radical who wants to suppress information that he or she doesn't agree with or cannot comprehend. A very sad situation. Geekiep (talk) 22:35, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

None of the above explains how Mr Edgecombe is a suitable subject for an encyclopedia article. We have a simple requirement, which is that articles should be based on reliable published sources which are independent of the subject. How else could we prevent disinformation from being posted? Phil Bridger (talk) 23:05, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Support for Removal of NPOV on Erich Schumann page

The sentence “His role in the project was obfuscated after the war by German physics community apologia.” is an accurate statement concerning Erich Schumann and it reflects the published findings of historians, such as Mark Walker and Klaus Hentschel. The well-documented section “Post World War II” lays out some specifics.

The myth of the German atomic bomb was a highly visible part of postwar apologia. The apologia was that a small group of Nazis had taken control, but they had been removed. Note that the real leaders of the German nuclear energy project, Abraham Esau, Erich Schumann, and Kurt Diebner, were ostracized after the war. Hence the German scientific community denied its past and purged itself of the Nazi elements, thus making way for their acceptance back into the international scientific community. Mark Walker, in his book “German National Socialism and the Quest for Nuclear Power 1939 – 1949” , said: “The role of Heisenberg as spokesman for the German nuclear power project was important for the apologia as well, for his erroneous claim, that he had been in control of nuclear power research, was accepted uncritically by friends and critics alike. In part, this acceptance is to be attributed to the perception of science by scientists and laymen as reducible to the work of a few ‘great’ scientists. Control is the key aspect of the apologia, for only if Heisenberg and his colleagues had been in command of their research, could their claim, that they had steered it deliberately away from nuclear weapons and towards ‘peaceful nuclear energy,’ appear believable.”

I firmly believe the material in the works of the historians Walker and Hentschel, as cited in the Misplaced Pages article on Erich Schumann, warrant removal of the NPOV tag.Bfiene (talk) 15:02, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Maui Jim

Hi. I'm not sure what to do with this article. I used it as an example of WP:OTHERCRAP in an Afd discussion and I'm left wondering why nobody has done anything about this article. It looks like the body of text was much larger but got trimmed out because it was unsourced. I've added some sources, and because I grew up near Peoria I'll declare a COI and not nominate it. I will however put a notability tag on it, please don't remove it until rewritten. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I forgot about the earlier tag. - Stillwaterising (talk) 02:52, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

NPOV on Erich Schumann

Hello Mr. Bridger. Who is it that will make a decision on the NPOV dispute on the Erich Schumann page? I have added a my input to the discussion page for the article, in response to your NPOV tag. Thanks. Bfiene (talk) 17:47, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I think the best way forward would be to ask for a third opinion, because, although I'm by no means an expert in this field, the way that the article is currently worded seems to be an exposition of the views of some, but not all historians. I've put the appropriate tag on the talk page and listed the article here. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:07, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Maveron is a previously speedy deleted file

I am not exactly sure why you removed SD tag. This is a re-creation and normally they are deleted too. Maveron was built using the Article Wizard which automatically generated the unreviewed tag. Admins generally do not delete unless absolutely necessary. When I saw the re-creation, I tagged it with the appropriate SD tag. --Morenooso (talk) 22:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

I've no idea what the article looked like when it was previously deleted, but as it is now it says that this is a venture capital firm that funded Ebay, which is a pretty clear indication of importance/significance, and it only takes a second or two with Google to confirm that that statement is true. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:28, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
It read more like more of an ad. I had a problem going between DB-INC, DB-SPAM or A7. An admin said if I ever was in doubt to use the A7 as that allows admins more choices (although they seem to get it right anyway regardless of what I put). I am satisfied by what you wrote here. I just stepped outside to enjoy some sunshine. Thanks for saving the article. --Morenooso (talk) 22:51, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Current page is an obvious vanity page. Is only notable for Cassandra Complex, who are an influential band and already have a page. The rest aren't.

Regarding your edit summaries

You know, I can appreciate the fact that editors disagree with me, and I can make mistakes in interpreting WP:FOOTYN on which I am fully willing to accept correction, but what I don't appreciate and would hope not to see is snide personal attacks and assumptions of bad faith in edit summaries despite WP:FAITH or even WP:NOCLUE as in:

"(contest deletion as one of a series of proposals from an editor who clesrly doesn't understand WP:FOOTYN)"

"contest deletion proposal by an editor who seems intent on eradicating all of our coverage of Bolivian football clubs, including clubs, such as this one, that have played at the top level)"

--Pstanton (talk) 21:29, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

I based my summaries on the evidence that I saw. Your nominations bordered on the disruptive, so deserved such treatment. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:36, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
I would add that such statements as "doesn't compete at the national level which is the notability criterion for clubs in WP:FOOTYN" and "a regional championship, which isn't at the level of notability for a club team" clearly do demonstrate that you don't understand WP:FOOTYN. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:49, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Yes, fine, I didn't understand WP:FOOTYN, and accept your correction. I'm not disputing that at all. I have no problem with my prod being corrected, and being told I am wrong about the notability guideline. What I do object to is your assumption that I was "intent on eradicating all our coverage of Bolivian football clubs", editing in bad faith, even when it became obvious to you that I was simply making an ignorant mistake, which incidentally was in the course of cleaning up after Kevinzuela, who was repeatedly creating inappropriate pages on Bolivian football, hence my rather critical attitude toward articles he created. --Pstanton (talk) 06:09, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
And honestly, this isn't an enormous issue. I don't want to devolve into some pointless angry argument. I simply wanted to express my pique with what I believe was an inappropriate edit summary, assure you I'm not some oddball who hates Bolivian football and move on. I hope if we run into each other in the future in editing, it won't be in such a feather-ruffling scenario. But really, this simply isn't worth getting worked up over. So I'll bid you bon voyage. --Pstanton (talk) 06:15, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Lahore Ke Rang Hari Ke Sang

Your contesting of the deletion of Lahore Ke Rang Hari Ke Sang on the grounds that i am treating the album different just because the artist/country of origin involved has people of brown skin colour is actually highly bias of yourself and actually suggests that i am racist. I myself am a person of colour and im seriously offended by your comments in the edit summary to so much of an extent that i am now considering reporting you to administators for uncivilness and defamation. Your edit summary now suggests to other editors that i edit with a hidden racist agenda.

In the case of the album itself, I nominate lots of music articles which fail notability for deletion and so i'm quite familiar with the criteria. Having tracklisting and album cover alone with two supporting sources is not notable enough to warrant an album having its own page... regardless of the artist's colour of skin or country of origin. It is clearly stated at WP:NALBUMS which even suggests that in such cases the information should be merged to the artist's page. Rather than edit warring over it I have nominated it for deletion discussion. In future i don't think its a good idea for you to use WP:Other Stuff Exists as an argument for notability. Just because 'x' subject exists it doesn't mean that 'x' subject is notable or correct. Equally it doesn't mean that 'y' article can be justified on the basis of 'x' subject. Lil-unique1 (talk) 20:30, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I think you need to work on your English comprehension. I didn't accuse you of racism or base my argument on other stuff existing. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:44, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
How can you say your comment "let's not treat topics from a country where most people have brown skin any differently" doesn't suggest that i am treating this article differently because its subject is a countru where people have brown skin colour. Finally your also saying that if the artist was UK-based but had won the Padma Shri award that i would have treated the article differently. There is defo an element of WP:Other Stuff Exists. Comments like "i think you need to work on your comprehension" are controversial and do not help the matter. It is certainly not in WP:Good faith? You could have instead said, "Sorry if you took offence from my comment, that wasn't my intention, however i do believe that the album is notable because..."Lil-unique1 (talk) 21:06, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Please help

What do I need to do to this page: Camila Alves? I had done a lot of changes and it keep going back to the oldest version. I've been posting some sources. But,[REDACTED] keep changing it. How can I fix this page and make it works? thanx

None of the content that you added has been removed - it's just that another editor made some minor improvements after you edited it. The whole point of Misplaced Pages is that anyone can make such edits to improve an article. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:26, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Just a quick note regarding your edit to this page: you removed the PRODBLP template in good faith, but I've reverted it as there are no sources listed on the page. There is a single external link, but there is no indication that this is being used as a source. If you would like to improve this page, you might consider finding a reliable source and adding it to the page (preferrably in the form of an inline citation), and then the PRODBLP could be safely removed. Thanks. GiftigerWunsch 20:13, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

That link clearly verifies the basic facts of the article, so satisfies the conditions of WP:BLPPROD. Whether such a source is listed as an in-line citation or an external link is irrelevant - it's a simple matter of editing to change that, which you are perfectly capable of doing yourself rather than demanding that someone else do it. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:19, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Please do not take a perfectly reasonable suggestion and turn this into an argument. Since a second user has removed the BLPPROD, I will leave it as-is. I was suggesting that you might like to make the change as you clearly had an interest, and I did not make any "demands". Please remember wikipedia's rule of assuming good faith and don't take my message as a personal attack when I was trying to do you a favour by explaining my reasoning for reverting your edit.

Hi, an IP user has removed the PROD tag from Mark D. Clookie, in case you want to take it to AfD. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 22:03, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Unsolicited Advice

Hey, I think the edit summary you made here isn't exceptionally appropriate. While I agree that the prod had been placed incorrectly (I think I placed it there instead of the page I intended to as obviously neither point in my prod was founded). I'm not going to cite policies or guidelines but I think we both know that your point could have been made with a more constructive tone. I'm not saying you're a bad person and we all do things we shouldn't sometimes. You're certainly an asset to Misplaced Pages and I hope you're not offended by my unsolicited advice.

Wood for the trees

You sourced Ola Rapace, but you left in this vandalism from February. Fences&Windows 00:19, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Your last edit on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is reverted

As

  1. Tags of lack of references and[REDACTED] clean up have been repeatedly deleted.
  2. It contains a lot of Original research like
...of late since end 2009,serial goes biased,for instance, the May 2010 episodes are more on Wealth overtaking Values. With bad pronunciations by the Hero's son Tapu, Tapu is being glorified all times, perhaps, he's linked to producers.
...He(Bhide) ensures that he saves every single paise whenever he can, which shows that he understands the importance of money, this habit of his is laughed by many. In one of the episodes it becomes a reason for quarrel between Daya Gada and Madhavi Bhide.
...she(sonu) is a very sweet child who is not only well mannered but cultured as well. She is an intelligent and systematic girl. She goes to school on time, attends all her classes, comes back home, plays for a little while, does her homework, prepares her bag for the next day, prays to God and goes to sleep.(too much detail,they never showed a 'busy' sonu.)
...He(sodhi) owns a transport business and also runs a Mandap Decorators service as an ancillary business to support his wife.He hates 'Tapu' for breaking the glass of his window unlimited number of times.
She(Mrs. Roshan) is a sweetheart and very co-operative. She innocently commits a mistake but never realizes it which turns into a funny light moment. Both Sodhi and Roshan always have communication issues because of the language barrier.

There are alot more.I'll need an article List of Original researches in article of TMKUC to explane them all.Haha

  • and how can you think that an article of 78 section and sub-sections and approx. 35 thousand words could have ONLY THREE references!

Coercorash 18:26, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Those three references, and others such as these, are enough to show notability of the subject. Yes, there's plenty of unsourced content that shouldn't be in the article, but the solution to that is to remove that particular content, or, better still, to replace it with reliably sourced content, rather than to delete the whole article. As another issue, the WP:PROD procedure can't be used if anyone contests deletion, as I have done. If, after reviewing the available sources, you think that this article subject doesn't meet our guidelines for inclusion then please start a discussion at WP:AFD where a consensus can be reached.

Are you saying that the article is untrue? If so it may well be an attack. There is no easy way to determine this from the text. If not, then notability is clearly asserted and {{speedy}} does not apply. WP:AfD may well be appropriate, though.--Anthony.bradbury 22:34, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Minimal Google search shows a lot of articles confirming the facts of the article. So who do you suggest it is attacking?--Anthony.bradbury 22:34, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Also, please note that the absolute requirement for references as contained in WP:BLP only applies to newly created articles, and this one has been here for five years. I have rolled you back. Please do not take offence. As I have said, I feel that the article almost certainly qualifies for deletion ubder WP:AfD; but let us do it following proper procedure.--Anthony.bradbury 22:40, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
