Patrolling

Hey, thanks for helping out with new page patrolling. I notice you marked Stavropol state medical academy as patrolled, and added an unreferenced tag to it. Turns out that page was a copyright violation of this page and should have been tagged for speedy deletion G11. Usually it's pretty easy to spot pages that have just been copied and pasted from a website. Be sure to keep an eye out for this in the future, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask on my talk page. Thanks. -Scottywong| chatter _ 21:37, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

• Sorry about that. I was trying to give the article the benefit of the doubt and overlooked a possible CSD. Thank you for the note!Keystoneridin (speak) 21:38, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Waldo Canyon image

Well, we have stumbled into a bit of a hole in Misplaced Pages's copyright policy. I saw this photo on the Fox 21 site first, which is why I instantly recognized it. I have no reason to doubt you (although, out of curiosity, why is the image so small, and with no metadata?), but it is credited to two different people on Yahoo News and Fox 21. I'll restore it to the articles, but it would ease my mind if you'd send in verification of authorship through WP:ORTS; it would also keep others from making the same mistake I did. Or even better, if you have a better resolution version, I'd be ecstatic if you would upload it, as it really is a striking image! -RunningOnBrains 01:57, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

• The image is so small because I had to edit it a bit. None of the smoke or anything else is altered. In the original photograph, a haze covered up my lens so I used a de-ionize feature on my Macbook to take away the smoke. When I re-edited the photo, I accidentally made a small resolution file which I uploaded here. I've had some photo's in the past deleted because of clarity. As far as the multiple authors, I submitted the photo to three news stations. From my understanding, there are around 11 people who claim to be authors. I'm not picky about it because I want everyone to see it. I took the picture with a Nikon D80 with a small range telephoto lens with a 2 inch clarity extension and a red light filter. I will be glad to upload all the required documents. Thanks!Keystoneridin (speak) 02:52, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Your recent contributions

I wanted to notify you that the "unreferenced" tag you added to Elmer Gainer and Gary Garland was removed. However, the article contained Basketball-Reference and NBA links before you tagged the articles. You have several excellent contributions, but you should be careful not to be too hasty when tagging. Earlier today, you simply added a reflist to Rotorua Golf Club but I believe you should've removed the advert-like information. Information such as "It makes playing there like no other place on earth. Playing in a volcano makes this golf course simply one of a kind" is not encyclopedic and should be removed. A user named "Rotoruagolfclub" started the article and would fuel suspicions of advertisement. SwisterTwister talk 00:31, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

• Thank you for the note. I appreciate, as I said at your RFA, that you gave a good explanation for this. My simple goal was not to "rewrite" the article, but to tag it so that others may see the problems. It's good that you let me know about this because now I will know not to tag sports pages like this. Good day to you!Keystoneridin (speak) 04:30, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Centre for the Moving Image

Hey; I've declined your CSD on Centre for the Moving Image - it's an org that incorporates several notable festivals. That's a claim of significance, at least, if not notability :). Ironholds (talk) 00:49, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

New page for petrolling

If you don't mind can you petrol my new article Thangamani Matriculation Higher Secondary School. Ramesh Ramaiah 17:15, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Round barn

Hi. You don't seem to be that new, so I'm not going to sugarcoat this warning:

Citations must support, verbatim, the text in the article. Period. There is no wiggle room here. Most of the 'cited' statements in the round barn article were linked to references which did not say what was said in our article here.

Misrepresenting sources will get you blocked, more or less permanently, from editing Misplaced Pages.

Are we clear?

• In addition, I have reopened the section you created on ANI to discuss your misrepresentation of sources. → ROUX ₪ 20:01, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

• No, we are not clear. There are proper formats for issuing warnings and issuing one which is not one of the templates may contemplate harrasment. I made a serious mistake on this page, I will discuss it at ANI.Keystoneridin (speak) 20:20, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

• Warning templates are not required, they are merely convenient. There is no harassment here. You misrepresented sources, which is a major problem, not a 'mistake.' → ROUX ₪ 20:27, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

• • then push for a block. It was a mistake made in good faith. I had no intention of vandalizing Misplaced Pages.Keystoneridin (speak) 21:01, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thanks for the class on how to edit Misplaced Pages. This looks kinda fun.Moveindate (talk) 21:19, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

• You are welcome! I also did get your email about doing things with user names. Did I mention that in class? I don't have much experience in it, except for asking others. If you want to use my template, I'll show you on Monday how to use it. But I must warn you in advance that my account will likely be closed in the coming days as that article I created for class did not have all of the links properly located and will likely result in a block. No biggie, I'll still help you out though. Get your edits up. I think once you get to 250, you are able to do more things on Misplaced Pages.Keystoneridin (speak) 21:38, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
