Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 09:29, 22 June 2012

If I leave a message for you: Please respond on your talk page. I'll probably add it to my watchlist, but if I miss something, feel free to leave a talkback. If you leave a message for me: I will most likely respond here. Either add this page to your watchlist or ask me to notify you of a response on your talk page. Note: I reserve the right to decline or withdraw from a situation that is escalating or uncomfortable, without giving a reason, or to take further action through permissable means. (See this policy.) If I mistakenly called your edits as vandalism when I reverted them, it was probably because you did not leave an edit summary. Please realize that, in many cases, unexplained edits are indistinguishable from vandalism! This also applies to Rollbacks. If you're here to troll, harass, or vandalise, I might not be able to stop you, but you will be reverted...and beware the giant dice.

Decline of Speedy Deletion for Misha B (singer)

Hi Bushranger,

You removed the Speedy Deletion tag for Misha B (singer), because G4 was not appropriate. I don't understand why. The article was previously deleted, only a few weeks ago, via an AfD Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Misha Bryan (singer). There are a couple of editors raising this same page on a regular basis (now the X-factor participants have been released from their contracts), substantially the same, under various names - Misha Bryan, Misha B, Misha B (singer), Misha Bryan (singer). Sionk (talk) 04:01, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Ahhh, I didn't see the differently-named AfD, since "Misha Bryan" had previously been speedied. G4 it is. Might want to salt... - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:05, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Golly, that was quick! Sionk (talk) 04:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Meep meep! - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:13, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Why did you keep deleting this page?

Because consensus is she is not yet notable. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 05:18, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

This page should not be removed, it is abundantly clear that Misha Bryan has moved beyond X factor with 3 music releases since that show, her debut single is getting extremely positive reviews internationally.Zoeblackmore —Preceding undated comment added 00:43, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Then get reliable sources that establish notability and request a deletion review. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:46, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Customary notification of DRV; see Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Log/2012 June 20#Jusst Kruse, which you closed the corresponding AfD. Regards, --MuZemike 21:58, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

inre Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Soulja Boy: The Movie

I have addressed some of the "matches" and I may be wrong, but I believe your concerns toward "close-paraphrasing" are addressed by most of those questioned portions being cited quotations of the source which offered the comments.

"who manage to address the struggles of fame Soulja Boy has encountered in considerably more engaging fashion than the superstar himself is able to" Is a cited quotation.

"bragging about his success, showing off his swag, talking about how much he loves money, and finding colorful ways to throw his money away" is a cited quotation

"isn't very compelling as a documentary and offers far too little music to qualify as a concert performance" is a cited quotation

"isn't very compelling as a documentary and offers far too little music to qualify as a concert performance" is a cited quotation.

"instead ends up seeming out of his depth" is a cited quitation.

"reasonably well-crafted and engaging" is a cited quote.

"thinly disguised promotional video" is a cited quote.

Certainly there is more than can be done, and personally, I think a merge might have been better than a keep. Schmidt, 23:50, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Some of them were, but others didn't seem to be. Thanks for the cleanup! And if you think a merge is needed, proposing WP:BOLDly through the usual merge process is always possible. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:52, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Will do. Best, Schmidt, 23:56, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Megre proposal made, and a suitable expansion performed at Soulja Boy#Acting career. If after a week or so and the merge proposal is not discussed, I will simply do a redirect of the film article to the target. Schmidt, 15:13, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Looks good from here! - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 15:15, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Jarred Land

Hi, I'm thinking that the SPAs at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Jarred Land, complete with their accusations against another editor, may be meatpuppets related to Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/09beemali. I also like this comment . Thoughts welcome. Cheers, 99.156.68.118 (talk) 03:01, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Yup, those sure look just like 'em. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 03:18, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

I've brought it to ANI . Just tired of it. 99.156.68.118 (talk) 03:20, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

DYK for 2012 Kenya Police helicopter crash

On 21 June 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article 2012 Kenya Police helicopter crash, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that two ministers in Kenya's government died in a helicopter crash in June 2012? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2012 Kenya Police helicopter crash. If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

• FWIW, I was half expecting an "ah ah ah" at the end of those " right after my ping to you. ;) --Dave 02:40, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

The Powerpuff Girls (Again)

I know there is a request already in but could you semi protect this GA rated article again for a longer period? The vandals are still present and are making edits like every 3 mins, its hard to keep up the reverts. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:07, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Done - protected for 6 months (since the last major protection was 3). - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 17:10, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Okay and thanks =). - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:11, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

your assistance please

You closed Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Rahmatullah Mansoor. You closed it about 11 hours prior to a full 7 days.

Nominator initiated a barrage of over a dozen {{afd}} of articles I started, and responding to them has consumed practically every moment of my spare time, this week. Yesterday I found some additional references and thought I had a last minute opportunity to introduce them, or, at a bare minimum, figure out via the contribution history, which was the last version for which I was the sole author of intellectual content and copy it to a non-WMF wiki.

I request an email of the source text please.

• You closed Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Haji Yacoub (Al Qaeda) early, as "snow delete". As above this was one of the barrage of {{afd}} initiated by a single contributor. That barrage of {{afd}} consumed practically every spare moment, and I did not have a chance to take more than a cursory look at this article. I have no idea whether improvements could have been made to it during the {{afd}} period. I am not a mind-reader. So I won't try to guess why a contributor I had never crossed paths with prior to a couple of weeks ago should single out my contributions for such intense scrutiny.

I have reminded the nominator that they requested when other contributors have a concern with their contributions they leave a note on the article's talk page of the article in question, and leave them a note on their personal talk page. I told the nominator I thought this was a reasonable request, and I pointed out I have made a similar request, and told them I did not understand why they weren't extending to me the same courtesy they requested for themselves. No meaningful answer to that question yet.

Anyhow, I request an email of the source text of Haji Yacoub (Al Qaeda) -- and some additional information. Can you tell me when I initiated the article? When I made my last edit? Were all the other edits to the article copy-editing, or the addition or editing of metadata -- edits that do not require attribution? Geo Swan (talk) 09:29, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
