== Discussion about Colonel Warden's oppose ==
#'''Oppose''' Checking his contributions for Oct'09, we see him creating lots of stubby footballer articles such as ]. But in ] he invokes ] to !vote delete contrary to consensus. ] (]) 09:14, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
#:I fully respect your oppose, but to be clear, Dom was not calling for consensus to be ignored. He was arguing against the majority position (as you are) and explained his reasoning eloquently (as you have). --]]]-- 10:21, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
#:: He invokes IAR . My objection is to the contrast between this case and his own perfunctory stubs. It does not seem proper for him to be arguing for deletion in a case which seems so similar to his own creation(s). As a contributor, this is not a big deal, but I prefer a higher standard of consistency and tolerance in admins. ] (]) 13:39, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
#::: BigDom does say IAR there, but is not saying "per IAR let's ignore consensus" - I just want that to be clear, since your original note might make it seem like that was the point. The point of IAR here is to challenge wp:ATHLETE on an edge case where the player only played one minute of fully professional play. This is a legitimate thing to do. wp:ATHLETE even says "occasional exceptions may apply" at the top of the page. That's what IAR is all about. Additionally, BigDom doesn't seem to like wp:ATHLETE much, and these guidelines can get modified if at AfDs they are routinely found to be problematic, so a la ] I think this is a reasonable way to call this guideline into question. Now, an interesting question is how would BigDom have closed this AfD? ] (]) 13:54, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
#:::: Well, if I hadn't been involved in the discussion I would have closed it as keep in spite of my own opinions, seeing as that was clearly the consensus. ]] 14:43, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
#:::::If the only thing you can find is a questionable (but not unreasonable) application of IAR from a year ago, then I would ask if we're being a tad too stringent. If there were multiple cases of BigDom running all over WP doing whatever he wants, and quoting IAR as the excuse, then I'd say you have a point. I don't see any indication of that. Nobody is perfect (even admins). ] <sup><small>]</small></sup> 21:01, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
#:What you're talking about are things from ''before'' his ''last'' RFA. I think that assuming from what he's done ''after'' his last RFA would be a more appropriate judgement. /]] (]) 17:41, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
#::Colonel Warden, those edits you are referring to took place 11 months ago. Do you have examples of this behavior from the last few months? ] (]) 19:49, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
#:::It's possible that (s)he hasn't yet realized that this is BigDom's second RFA attempt. /]] (]) 20:21, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
#:::: I hadn't checked the previous RFA which I did not recall. I find that I opposed that on the grounds that the candidate was creating poorly sourced BLPs. I check his contributions since then and find that not much has changed. For example, see ]. This is sourced to a fan site which does not appear to be reliable. Q.E.D. ] (]) 00:31, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
#:::::: The homepage of the Neil Brown website states "The English League player's appearances and goalscorers statistics are drawn primarily from Barry Hugman's 'The Premier and Football League Player's Records' series of books", so I would argue that the site is reliable. ]] 06:42, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
#::::::: Please see our policy on ] which explains that ''"Self-published sources should never be used as third-party sources about living persons"''. In this case, you are taking it on trust that this fan web-site has used the ] source and has transcribed it accurately. Note also that this site states that "''The English League player's appearances and goalscorers statistics are drawn primarily from Barry Hugman's 'The Premier and Football League Player's Records' series of books, for which I am extremely grateful for his permission to use''". Did <u>you</u> likewise ask Barry Hugman for his permission to copy this information to Misplaced Pages? Do you realise that by copying these records to Misplaced Pages, you are implicitly claiming ownership and giving the world a licence to copy this further? My impression is that you are quite naive about these matters because our sports articles get a free pass when it comes to notability and so they haven't been regularly roasted at AFD, as other topics are. I caught you out on this at your previous RfA but your comments and behaviour indicate that you are still quite unfamiliar with our rigorous policies in this area. This doesn't make you a bad person but it means that you lack the knowledge and experience of sourcing, copyright and BLP issues which we expect of an admin. If, as an admin, you were to become involved in some topical matter like the current furore about ], you would soon be out of your depth and might easily make a wrong call. This could be an expensive mistake and so it seems best that you get some wider experience before becoming an admin. ] (]) 09:50, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
#::::::::Implicity claiming ownership? Now I've heard everything. I do understand the BLP policies that Misplaced Pages has, and I know what you're getting at on the reliable sources front. I refer you to ], which clearly states that only material that is "contentious" or "likely to be challenged" should be attributed to a high quality source. Do you consider football statistics to be contentious? So it appears that it is the two guidelines that are contrary, which might go some way to explaining our slightly different views on the subject. The bit about self-published sources on the BLP page only warns in detail against the use of blogs or tweets, etc, although admittedly websites are mentioned. I certainly do understand copyright, and what you're saying is that every time someone uses a source they should ask permission; that's just not true is it? Every single admin on this site will have used a non-PD source without "permission". By the way, I have no interest whatsoever in William Hague or controversy (I have no idea what the current "furore" is about) and wouldn't get involved in anything like that, I can assure you. ]] 10:11, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
#::::::::: One of the facts which you put in this particular BLP was the person's date of birth. This is sensitive personal information because it tells you the person's age and may be used for personal identification. The football statistics have commercial value as Mr Hugman seems to make his living by publishing them. As you seem to have copied them without permission or significant transformation, there seems to be a copyright issue here. You seem to be adding large quantities of this information to Misplaced Pages and this goes beyond fair use. ] (]) 10:37, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
#::::::::::Do you propose removing statistics from all sports biographies then? Because someone must have collated them before they were put on Misplaced Pages and it's pretty difficult to "significantly transform" stats. ]] 11:00, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
#::::::::::: Please see ] which explains that, if you rip off someone else's hard work, then, under UK and EU law, you are potentially liable. ] (]) 11:31, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
#:::::::::::: But nobody is trying to pass off the stats as their own. Nobody on Misplaced Pages adds stats to articles in the hope of making a profit from somebody else's work. Surely if Misplaced Pages saw a problem in people doing this, they would have put a stop to it years ago? ]] 11:47, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
#::::::::::::: The Foundation which hosts Misplaced Pages has a hands-off policy so that they are not legally liable for the content which the editors create. ] (]) 14:03, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
#:::::Hi, correct me if I'm wrong, but it is September '10 now. Is it impossible for us, as humans, to learn from our mistakes after almost a year? ] (]) 01:23, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
#:::::: The ] article was created two months ago. ] (]) 01:44, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
#:::::: The Hugman Players' records books are based on numerous other books like the Soccerdata, the Breedon and Yore publications (page 7 of the 2005 edition) . It's a comprehensive source, but certainly not the only one. ] (]) 11:38, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
