My mistake. When I saved my changes, it was an edit conflict, and I missed your correction in the merge. I've adding your correction back in. Thanks for catching it!

Also thanks for adding categories to new pages. There are lots that need it, and it seems like a hard task. I've been erring on too many categories, rather than too few. My hope is that wikiprojects use the categories to decide which articles are relevant. More (relevant) categories means that it is more likely a (relevant) project will see it. I only mention it because your radiologist category was a better choice than my additions, but I wasn't sure which to remove. I think it should be ok to leave that to a wikiproject member? JackSchmidt (talk) 16:12, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and you ARE a project member and knew about the article from its most recent creation. Sorry for the trouble. JackSchmidt (talk) 16:14, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not a member of any project actually. I was just responding to a request at AfC. I find categories difficult actually and I'm never sure how to search for the most suitable. I often use the CategoryTree but the search facility is not very good. Do you know anything better? MSGJ (talk) 16:22, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I find assigning stub categories is a little easier, since the stub "tree" is much more like a tree. The full page is too large to load often, but I use Special:Prefixindex/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types and open each common sub-page in its own tab.

Just assigning stubs worries me a little, and sometimes an article is clearly, clearly not a stub, so I try to assign normal categories too. I use a saved copy of http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/CategoryOverview_EN_Complete.htm (64MB) from CatOverview. I have it open in my web browser, but I also use a command line tool like grep to perform quicker searches with all the results together. I search for "ger.*med" and find a few plausible categories, then refine to more specific categories. I think CategoryTree looks like a nice way to refine the category once you've found a decent approximation, but it doesn't surprise you with other possibilities. I've done a few German beer articles, and at first searched under food, but then under germany, and then under corporations. Each time I found different "good" categories. How can you know when to stop?

I try to follow the librarian convention: a category should be exactly as specific as the work as a whole. However, wikipedia's categories have grown organically and so this is not always as easy as using LCSH (and that is not always easy to begin with!). I also try to follow the librarian convention on when to stop: there are more books than can be cataloged, but poor cataloging is useless, so spend only enough time to give moderately good cataloging. For example, I just left my extra categories, since it would have taken too much time (total) to fix it.

Let me know when you find better methods! I used to only edit the math articles, since those were the only ones where I could keep all the rules in my head, but now I really enjoy helping new articles. JackSchmidt (talk) 18:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help Jack! I'll let you know how I get on. MSGJ (talk) 17:33, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Club-Footed Grocer

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The Club-Footed Grocer, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of The Club-Footed Grocer.

Space powers

If redirecting article for wide-using term nuclear powers in plural form exists in Wiki distinctly from article for term nuclear power, so redirecting article for similar wide-using term space powers may presents (irrespectively of unused term space power moreover). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.232.124.119 (talk) 16:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

David Dawson (choreographer)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of David Dawson (choreographer), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.semperoper.de/en/ballett/repertoire_david_dawson.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

WP:AFC Backlog Drive

WikiProject Articles for creation needs your help!

WikiProject Articles for creation has done a tremendous job in working at WP:AFC over the past 7½ months. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication! Together, we've made the submission process easier and more streamlined, developed tools to make the process go faster for reviewers, and cut the backlog down to a mere fraction of what it once was. Well done!

As you all are aware, however, our work is not quite yet done. The project still has 10 archive pages left to complete, which include over half a month's worth of submissions, many of which have not been completely reviewed. We need your help to finish looking over these neglected submissions so that we can finally remove the backlog notice from the page, and put an end to the more than two year old backlog that has been a thorn in our side for ages! Participants will receive an AFC Barnstar, so hurry up and help out while there's still work to be done! Make sure to sign in on the WikiProject's talk page so we know who is involved in what promises to be our final effort to complete this goal. Thank you for all your help!

AFC creation of Nyima Funk

You recently created the article Nyima Funk per an AFC request. Large portions of that entry is a copyvio (direct copy/paste) from the sources cited.

Damien Sandras

Per your request, I've made a copy of deleted Damien Sandras at User:Msgj/Damien Sandras. Categories, interwiki, and stub tags are commented out. —Wknight94 (talk) 04:24, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, as you said, the major difference is a few sources - and those are less sources than interviews. Otherwise, the content doesn't assert any more notability than it did when it was deleted a year ago. The creating IP is vaguely similar to an editing IP in the deleted version so I'll bet there is some WP:COI as well. It seems destined for WP:AFD again. —Wknight94 (talk) 12:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per your request I have userified the material you requested as well. See my talk page for details. Please answer there if further action is needed. ++Lar: t/c 20:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GRO J1655-40

Thank you, I have added it to my watchlist, and will see if I can incorporate as much as usefully possible from that talk material into into the article when I get a chance. I'm a gamma-ray astronomer working on a project to analyze CGRO data from it and other BH candidates, so I am very interested, but have tunnel vision due to our somewhat peculiar perspective. Anyhow, it is a very famous object in certain circles. Cheers, Bill Wwheaton (talk) 01:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I know sometimes I may have erred, not knowing some Wikipedia's rules (like the one that says you aren't supposed to edit a page more than three times a day), but I struggled to edit based only on reliable sources. Sometimes this is not liked by some Romanian editors, and it's a pity there're almost no non-Romanian and non-Moldovan editing Moldova-related articles to have a neutral and clear mind to judge on the legitimity of the disputes. I'm not saying Romanian are unable to reasonate, just that they are biased, because they are teached in school that only Soviets and Communists acknowledge the existence of the Moldovan people and language. (And in a post-totalitarian regime, especially when the regime was a harsh one, like Ceausescu's, people tend to believe that if a Communist ever supported a thing, that thing is inherently evil and must be fought with whatever means). Thanks for you advice. Xasha (talk) 19:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Biting

I don't see anything on the link you gave me which leads me to believe that I tagged an article for speedy deletion. I only tag articles fast when they are blatantly non-encyclopedic. Undeath (talk) 23:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Declined article: Paul G. Gaffney

Msgj -

You have declined an category for retired admiral Paul G. Gaffney citing copyright infringement. I respectfully request you reconsider your decision.

You will observe that much of Admiral Gaffney's official biography comes from Federal Government sources. "Such works are not entitled to domestic copyright protection under U.S. law, sometimes referred to as "noncopyright."

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_of_the_United_States_Government.

I specifically refer to the sources used for the biographical entry: http://www.oceancommission.gov/commission/commissionbios.html#gaffney (Ocean Commission - Federal Government) http://www.ndu.edu/inss/symposia/jointops00/gaffney.html (National Defense University - Federal Government)

If you can cite material that falls under the category of original material which might fall under copyright, as opposed to statements of fact that appear on Federal Government sources, I will make tailored edits.

Thank you. Mike—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmaiden (talk • contribs) 01:52, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is strictly buisness (mostly) which is why I am sending these messages to random people.

These listed Wikipages Need your help!

Whoever knows when Alf Schofield died please put in on the Alf Schofield page, that would really help.

Look at the Talk:Kangaroo (meat) page regarding my post- Kangaroo Species- that would really help.

Look at Talk:Katharine McPhee regarding her spouse under Relationships by Keane Rox.

For April 2007 Nor'easter well, I put in a fact and referenced it and now I don't know how to complete the reference. Click the blue 2 reference and you'll know what I mean. Then click the [2] at the top of the April 2007 Nor'easter article and complete the reference.

Spread the word for these Wikipages in need! That is all.

Speedy deletion of Colonial Theatre, Idaho Falls

A tag has been placed on Colonial Theatre, Idaho Falls requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Notability of Berg Insight

A tag has been placed on Berg Insight requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. andy (talk) 22:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: csd g7

Hi there. These pages were created by User:KrimpBot as Tor nodes that are no longer Tor nodes. They have never edited, and due to recent software changes, they are no longer needed. After discussion with User:Krimpet, I began deleting the pages of users that had never edited that were 0 bytes in length. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't definitively answer that question as there simply isn't a clear-cut response. Just today, a new Request for comment was started (Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Adminbots) which aims to clarify the issues surrounding admins and their use of automated and semi-automated (and manual) scripts. I invite (and urge) you to participate in the discussion. I will say that this is a long-standing issue in the community that has yet to be properly addressed (partly, I believe, due to the community's wishes to ignore the issue). So, as it stands, the situation is murky at best, though perhaps this new RfC will clarify some of the surrounding issues. I hope that this explanation helps. If not, feel free to ping me on my talk page and we can discuss this further. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:48, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's quite common for admins to use their own accounts for maintenance purposes such as this, and MZMcBride is far from the only admin to do so. Such automation is well known to many editors. The admin in question must always take responsibility for the edits, as MZMcBride has done. The reason that not everyone knows about the automated edits is simply that most of the editors who make them do so with amazing few complaints, so that there was never any reason to change the policy to cover them more explicitly. The RFC that MZMcBride linked to might help remedy that failure of the policy documents. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could've sworn I replied already... sorry for the wait. I have to say that this isn't the first time this request has come up. Frankly, after thousands upon thousands of deletions, I'm sort of stuck with the bare minimum. It may be a bit compulsive, but my original justification for doing so was that I wanted to use the bare minimum as these pages all fall within the speedy deletion criteria and I couldn't bring myself to "clutter" the database with more text than what was absolutely needed. For better or for worse, I think that my deletion summaries won't really ever change. On rare occasion I have used longer summaries, but I haven't done so in a long while. While I think you may not agree with my decision, I hope you at least understand it and its rationale. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 08:30, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question on sources

Msgj,

I hope I am using the correct forum for asking this; if not, my sincerest apologies.

My question is re: an article for submission for which you have suggested a rewrite: Citizens United to Protect the Maurice River and Its Tributaries, Inc.

Specifically, my question is in regards to sources. You indicated that you did not feel that the sources were adequate, did not necessarily pertain, etc.

Can you please give me guidance on this? There are 23 sources/footnotes which include the National Park Service, NJN, EPA, the NY Times, etc. I've reviewed each of the footnotes, etc. and what they are referencing and am having difficulty understanding exactly what you are looking for.

As to the other comment, I will rework the article and run it past several other parties for their input.

Thank you for your input,

Jat people

Hi pleased to meet you. Thank you very much for your help and reverting the vandal and internet troll attacks on the Jat people article. I have been keeping a close eye on the article over the last 12 months and the Jat people article has been prone to many racist internet troll & vandal attacks. The reason why this has and is happening is because it is about ethnic group that is prone to many racist attacks. Many of the anon racist attack are by anon ips and newly created vandal/troll wiki attack accounts. Please can you put the article in your wikipedia watchlist (Help:Watching pages) and revert anon ips and newly created vandal/troll attack changes. Personally I think the article needs semi-protection like the Jewish people article. Finally, thank you very much for your help and reverting the vandal and internet troll attacks on the Jat people article, please continue giving your anti-vandalism help on the Jat people article. Thank you.--James smith2 (talk) 03:03, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes is was a vandal attack by the internet troll. Basically the strategy of these internet trolls is to put up negative uncited information, about this good and respectable Jat ethnic people, with hope everyone starts fighting on the article so then they can sit back and enjoy the fighting & show. The article is good now and stable but they want to mess it up so everyone starts fighting on the article that is their strategy. Please read up about internet trolls.

I think for a person in charge of biographies of non-American people you should understand this.

Could you also remove the tag about internal links, since I added in-text citations?

WP:AFC new process

I see you tried out my new WP:AFC submission process. Do you think its easy to understand, and should it replace the current day-by-day archive system? Please respond on my talk page.--Natl1 (Talk Page) (Contribs) 17:05, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

THANK YOU SOOOOOOO much for accepting my page! I used to request pages be made, but nothing ever happened ever. Finally, I thought I would try again, and it looked like the process changed a bit. I submitted it, and was declined, but at least it was declined quickly so it felt like there was some movement! So, I tried to add more things to address the reason why it was declined, and submitted it again, and now it was finally accepted by you--THANK YOU ! ! ! The quick decline and the reason given actually helped make it a better article in the long run, so at least that's lot better than the past when nothing happened. I like trains too! Am I allowed to add his name to "Holocaust Historians" category, or would that not count? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.235.251.198 (talk) 10:23, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Can you remember when you submitted articles previously to AfC? Because there was a long backlog at one stage but it has been cleared now. I don't see any other requests in your contributions so it must have been a different IP address you used then.

Regarding the category, if you think it is appropriate then by all means add it.

I might suggest you register for an account because then you will be able to create articles without using this process. Best wishes, MSGJ (talk) 10:32, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find your user page anymore! ! !

This is very strange, however I cannot find your page anymore. I was so excited that you had accepted my Terrence Des Pres article that afterward, I wanted to go back and look you user page in more detail to look at the stuff on trains etc. However no matter where I click on Msgj anywhere, it just comes to the page where everyone is leaving messages for you. I then noticed that your user page redirects to your talk page and I am so frustrated because I was trying to learn about all your different badges and things--especially the things about transport, but now I am completely unable to see those. This is driving me crazy and it is so complicated! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.235.251.198 (talk) 11:13, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
