January 2009

My name is Charles Laquidara. On my bio page, there is a banner on the very top that says: “A major contributor to this article or its creator appears to have a conflict of interest with its subject.” I am fairly sure that I am the “major contributor” in question I would like to have someone edit, delete or add (to the content) anything which will make this banner go away, because it has been there for almost a year and it denigrates the integrity of the bio itself. I would be willing to help in any way, if someone would contact me, but so far your editors haven't seen fit to do this.I have tried to correct the problem before- have tried to edit the site itself in order to make it more compliant with Wikipedia standards- but I am clueless as to what actually is the problem and how to get that banner deleted. I am not very good at “computerese” and working with links, so I would really appreciate it if one of your experts could go in there and clean it up so that it meets your standards and becomes a normal, suitable and acceptable bio of my life. Thank you for any help you can offer. My e-mail address is charlesatradiowavexdotcom Laquidara (talk) 02:12, 5 January 2009 (UTC)Charles Laquidara

Question on deletion

Your removal of all mention of publications in article Bruce Frantzis is quite rigorous. I see many articles where author's publications are still showing, including isbn-numbers. Is it standing practice now to remove isbn numbers as well as the titles of books?
For example, I might start in the Category:American martial arts writers: Diallo Nkenge Frazier (no {primary sources}), Larry Hartsell: isbn numbers, no source, commercial link, George Leonard commercial links, Dave Lowry (martial arts) list of books, Jonathan Maberry list of books (in text & list), Scott Shaw list of books, John Stevens (scholar) list of books & publ. no {primary sources}, Phil Elmore list of books, excessive ext. links, Ridgely Abele no sources at all.
To be clear: I don't mind editing, but I like consistency. If so, please show me where it states that these lists of publications should go, so when I remove these I can make proper refererence to these wiki rules in the comments. --VanBurenen (talk) 16:50, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate that you returned the publications! I don't know if you know Bruce, but the man apparently spent his whole life acquring knowledge and skills that he now is publishing about in quite a few books and other media, books that people are appreciating. I would like to get rid of the templates in the article about him, but most of what is known about him is stuff he told others. There are even interviews on youtube. Does the lack of independent texts mean that he is not worthy of an article? Considering his list of publications and his "presence" on the web (see google hits) he is a somebody. Are there not many people who acquire vast quantities of knowledge and publish brilliant texts, but of whom we know very little as a person or even of the people he ever interacted with (and who could have written about him, but maybe were not good writers)? Does one always need to be an eccentric or appear on talk shows to be worthy of an article? I'll continue looking for material to add, however, I feel it is very difficult to fulfill the unlimited demands expressed in the templates. Would you possibly agree that the third template may already go, since there are a few footnotes that link back to the text? --VanBurenen (talk) 20:36, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Commons:File:Halberds.jpg missing author and source

Hi, I transwikied the above picture, which you had uploaded to the Wikipedia, to the Commons some time ago. Now another user has noticed that it doesn't have an author or source specified. This is important because it's Public Domain status relies on its author being dead 70 years or more. Please could you fix this, because it's a useful picture. --Simon Speed (talk) 11:42, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

An article you contributed to maybe deleted soon: Tools which can help you

The article you helped contribute to: Zhong Gong may be deleted from Wikipedia.

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zhong Gong.

The faster you respond on this page, the better chance the article you created can be saved.

Finding sources which mention the topic of this article is the very best way to avoid an article being deleted {{Findsources3}}:

Find sources for Zhong Gong: google news recent, google news old, google books, google scholar, NYT recent, NYT old, a9, msbooks, msacademic ...You can then cite these results in the Article for deletion discussion.

Also, there are several tools and helpful editors on Wikipedia who can help you:

2. At any time, you can ask any administrator to move your article to a special page. (Called userfication)

3. You can request a mentor to help you: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond to you before responding on the article for deletion page.

4. When trying to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. These acronyms don't need to intimidate you. Here is a list of acronyms you can use yourself: Deletion debate acronyms, which will help you argue that the article should be kept.

If the page you edited is deleted, you also have many options available. Good luck! Ikip (talk) 02:07, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I need your help.

endulge my trespassing on your time. I'm a university student at Seoul National University, and I'm currently working on a research project on Wikipedia. My focus is on dispute resolution and the Wikipedian culture- subjects that needs real understanding rather than statistics or observation of explicit things. Therefore, I'm eagerly searching for live voices, for accounts of active users.

I see you are an administrator who has been active in Wikipedia for many years, so I thought your experience and opinions would add a lot to my research. Would you by any chance care for an email interview? If you have the time, please send a reply and I'll mail you the questions. Again, your help would mean more than a lot to me.

Thanks for reading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.126.178.124 (talk) 15:41, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

A question

Excuse me for possibly annoying you, but can you please inform me of how to react against vandalism and continuous pathetic edits? I am involved in wikipedia trying to improve an article about a greek soccer club, Aris Thessaloniki F.C., trying to use referrences and neutral language (please check my contributions and the article's history [1], [2]), but this user appears again and again erasing content and swearing [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]. His latest achievement was the replacement of the club's nickname with the word worm [19] Can you please tell me where to report him or what to do? Aris1983 (talk) 13:32, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Why I've been away...

Hello everyone.

I'm sorry I've been away for quite a while, but I recently GOT MARRIED and am having a wonderful time. I'm hoping to return to editing in the future, likely when the cold weather returns to my northern hemisphere digs...

Cheers! --Bradeos Graphon Βραδέως Γράφων (talk) 03:07, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

I just moved 11 talk page archives from your old username to here. They were showing up on the Wikipedia:Database_reports/Ownerless_pages_in_the_user_space.

AfD nomination of Taijitu

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Taijitu. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taijitu. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:13, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Junonia volute from the Gulf of Mexico

Hi Bradeos Graphon, If you are around and read this, I wanted to ask you if you can remember whereabouts in the Gulf of Mexico the beautiful Junonia volute you photographed was from? If it was from Alabama it would be one subspecies, but if it was from the Yucatan it would be another subspecies. Did you find it yourself on a beach after a storm, or was it dredged? Many thanks! Invertzoo (talk) 21:28, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Welcome back!

I hope you are still happily married<g>! If you have some time/interest, look in at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Martial_arts/Article_Review. There was a near inclusionist/deletionist war at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Martial_arts that instead ended in this productive review process. Your knowledge/opinions would be quite useful at the article review.

And in any case, welcome back! jmcw (talk) 15:23, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Yang Ch'eng-fu circa 1918.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Yang Ch'eng-fu circa 1918.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:40, 28 August 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:40, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
