DYK Nomination for Nina Wilcox Putnam

Sure, no problem. It was my duty :D. I'm new to reviewing so I have to get a hang of policies; please pardon any inconveniences. Cheers. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:56, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

No problem at all. I look forward to seeing Vicky Donor on the main page. Gobōnobo ^{+ c} 05:23, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

File:Fannie Sellins.jpg

Why is this image 'fair use'? It was taken before 1920. Doesn't that mean it is now in public domain? Kingturtle = (talk) 04:01, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Possibly. I wasn't able to determine when the image was published, who the author was, or when they died. To be on the safe side, I used a fair use rationale. This table shows, I think, how the image could still be under copyright. Gobōnobo ^{+ c} 05:23, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Kenneth Patchen image

Hi Gobonobo. I see that you uploaded this image File:Kenneth_Patchen.jpg, apparently from the Bottom Dog Press Inc. website, back in 2010. I wonder do you have a date for it at all, that could be used in a caption? Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:34, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I wish I did. I'd guess late 1940s, but I wouldn't want to put that in a caption without being sure. Larry Smith of Bottom Dog Press has an email at the bottom of this page and he may know. Gobōnobo ^{+ c} 18:53, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll try and ask him. But not sure how whatever he tells us could be verifiable for the Patchen article. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:57, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Smith's book is used as a source on Patchen's article. If you have a copy of Kenneth Patchen: Rebel Poet in America, I'd check first to see if the book doesn't have a date for that image. Otherwise OTRS might be used to verify an email response. I looked around the Internet to see if any other copies of that image have dates and I didn't find anything. Gobōnobo ^{+ c} 19:11, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I don't have a copy. I've just emailed Larry. So I'll let you know what he says, if and when I get a reply. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:20, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Larry has replied, very promptly, and says that he thinks it's from 1965 but can't be sure. But he has also given me contact details for Patchen's literary executor, Jonathan Clark, so I've just emailed him as well. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:33, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

That's great. Thanks for putting in the effort—it's encouraging to see Patchen's article improve. Gobōnobo ^{+ c} 18:16, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 February newsletter

Round 1 is already over! The 64 highest scorers have progressed to round 2. Our highest scorer was Grapple X (submissions), again thanks mostly to a swathe of good articles on The X-Files. In second place was Tigerboy1966 (submissions), thanks an impressive list of did you knows about racehorses. Both scored over 400 points. Following behind with over 300 points were Ruby2010 (submissions), Cwmhiraeth (submissions), Miyagawa (submissions) and Casliber (submissions). February also saw the competition's first featured list: List of colleges and universities in North Dakota, from Ruby2010 (submissions). At the other end of the scale, 11 points was enough to secure a place in this round, and some contestants with 10 points made it into the round on a tiebreaker. This is higher than the 8 points that were needed last year, but lower than the 20 points required the year before. The number of points required to progress to round 3 will be significantly higher.

The remaining contestants have been split into 8 pools of 8, named A through H. Round two will finish in two months time on 28 April, when the two highest scorers in each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers, will progress to round 3. The pools were entirely random, so while some pools may end up being more competitive than others, this is by chance rather than design.

The judges would like to point out two quick rules reminders. First, any content promoted during the interim period (that is, on or after 27 February) is eligible for points in round 2. Second, any content worked on significantly this year is eligible for points if promoted in this round. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which would otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Warnings

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Reacespeaces (talk) 18:02, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Dave Camp, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Reacespeaces (talk) 18:13, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

I left this on Reacespeaces talk page as well. You appear to be involved in an edit war on the David Camp page. I strongly urge you both to take your discussion of the proposed edits to the talk page for the article. To continually revert changes can result in a block on your accounts. If consensus can not be reached, there are avenues for mediation available on Wikipedia. Wikipelli ^Talk 18:19, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Oh come on, Wikipelli. Gobonobo twice reverted the insertion of a large block of text that clearly violated WP:BLP and probably some other guidelines. He was well within his bounds. --Fang Aili ^talk 18:23, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

If anyone has been 'edit warring', it isn't Gobonobo. I have made more reverts, and should probably be the one you are warning. Both of us would rather take it to the talk page but Reacespeaces seems to be refusing. Bakkster Man (talk) 18:26, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

I stand corrected. My goal here was to encourage both editors (and others) to use the article's talk page rather than the back and forth reverts. My apologies for incorrectly characterizing Gobonobo's actions. Wikipelli ^Talk 18:37, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

No worries. I intended to remove what I perceived to be vandalism on the article. I agree that a talk page discussion would be the best course. Gobōnobo ^{+ c} 18:52, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Reacespeaces (talk · contribs) has been blocked and the page semiprotected. It's clear that Gobonobo was editing within policy here. Toddst1 (talk) 19:08, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you... and again, my apologies for not looking closer at the edits. Wikipelli ^Talk 19:18, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Possible NPOV and Vandalism problems on You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International

Hi. I'm contacting you about this because you originally created the article and might have more knowledge about the subject than I do. I noticed when patrolling recent changes that on the article You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International there seems to be some edit-warring going on, particularly with the "High school assemblies" section. I rolled back some edits by an IP user that blanked the section, but upon reading it more closely, it looks like it could violate WP:NPOV. It reads a bit like a rant. Part of it seems to be simply descriptive of what their typical high school assemblies are like, whereas other parts appear to have a very negative slant. They do attribute it to news sources, but it may just be WP:PUFFERY. Perhaps you can provide some insight into this. The page might need to be semi-protected. Thanks. —JmaJeremy ^TALK _CONTRIBS 04:17, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi JmaJeremy. I removed the rant - looks like some of the recently added paragraphs were copyvios from this piece. Unless the edit warring persists, there probably isn't need to protect the page. Thanks for being vigilant. Gobōnobo ^{+ c} 05:42, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

sockpuppet? WTF? I add good info and you censored it. This is unfair and I want to complain.

I added a controversy section to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Cortez_Masto and YOU deleted it. Why?

This lady has abused her position here in Nevada (the 9th most corrupt state). This is not political... This is about disseminating information regardless if you don't like it because it offends you. The information is backed up. Also the picture that was removed should be added. Wiki can have 2 pictures of NAG Masto (1 smiling and 1 frowning).

As to the sockpuppet thing, I am new at Wiki and apparently have 2 accounts... Obviously I used my real names Todd Robben and Ty Robben... If I was trying to sockpuppet, I would use anonymous names, eh?

I demand the controversy section be added back with my supported facts. If you want to format it better, that's OK. I'll learn as I go. I am a huge fan of Wiki (although I have never contributed until now) and all I get is wiki politics censoring muy information that I am passionate about disseminating so others are not disenfranchised.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toddrobben (talk • contribs) 14:27, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Todd. I'd be happy to discuss changes to the Catherine Cortez Masto article on that article's talk page. Please be sure that you are familiar with Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy before making more changes to her article. Thanks, Gobōnobo ^{+ c} 20:59, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

STOP THE CENSORSHIP ON http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Cortez_Masto

STOP THE CENSORSHIP ON [[1]] Please put these comments back on the the page... Wiki is becoming something it's not supposed to be - A government censored site that removes facts it may not like... This is not Disneyland and sorry if the facts are not sugar coated for you liking... POST THE SUPPORTED FACTS.

ackdating Court Filings The Nevada Attorney General ("NAG") came under a cloud of controversy with Catherine Cortez Masto allowing her Chief Deputy Attorney General Ann McDermott to file backdated court filings in Carson City in the appeal of a Nevada State employee's dismissal appeal in 2011 and 2012. Reno KRNV TV news covered the scandal on March 21, 2012. [3] Ironically, September 22, 2011 NAG Masto announced she was going to “To File Criminal Charges” Against Bank Employees for Foreclosure Fraud including BACKDATING and FORGERY. [4] In court papers filed this month in Clark County District Court, attorney Dave Crosby alleged bank employees committed forgery and fraud in making a $350,000 loan to a father of four who was unemployed at the time.[5] “They forged signatures, they backdated documents,” Crosby said. “We’ve got them cold.” [...][6] The Henderson case is the latest shot across the bow of mortgage lenders. The Nevada Supreme Court has issued rulings favoring homeowners in several recent cases on appeal. Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto is expected to file criminal charges against bank and title company employees, as well as notary publics, over allegations of robo signing. The term applies to a practice of signing affidavits attesting that bank officials have reviewed documents and found them proper even without making any review. [7]

Bogus charges in 2011 against Aaron Lewis The Nevada Attorney General filed bogus charges in 2011 against Aaron Lewis, a former Probation Officer in the Carson City Alternative Sentencing department of the Carson City court. Aaron Lewis was found not guilty of three charges stemming from allegations that he molested six women in the course of his duties. [8] State Hearing Office Bribery Scandal In 2011 and 2012 State of Nevada employees complained about State Personnel Hearing Officer Bill Kockenmeister offering a bribe to a former State employee named Glenn Marr to drop an 18-page complaint to the State Personnel Commission. [9] [10] [11] After hearing a series of complaints against Bill Kockenmeister since 2008, the Nevada Attorney General did nothing to investigate the bribery fraud which is a felony in the State of Nevada. [12] NRS 199.020 Judicial officer who asks for or receives bribe. A judicial officer who asks or receives, directly or indirectly, any compensation, gratuity or reward, or any promise thereof, upon an agreement or understanding that his or her vote, opinion, judgment, action, decision or other official proceeding will be influenced thereby, or that the judicial officer will do or omit any act or proceeding or in any way neglect or violate any official duty, is guilty of a category C felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130. Instead of investigating the bribery matter, the AG did nothing and allowed the State of Nevada Personnel Commission to extend Kockemonster's $350.000 dollar 2-year contract on March 16, 2012. [13] [14] The Nevada Attorney General filed bogus charges against the Lieutenant Governor of Nevada Governor Brian Krolicki. On December 3, 2008, Brian Krolicki was indicted (and then exonerated) on four felony counts. The charges were related to Krolicki's management of a multibillion-dollar college savings program in his previous position as Nevada's state treasurer. Two of the counts were of misappropriation and falsification of accounts by a public officer, and two counts were of misappropriation by a treasurer. He faced up to four years in prison on each of the four counts for a maximum of sixteen years. Krolicki said that there is no basis for the charges and that it is a partisan effort by Democratic Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. [15] A Las Vegas judge later dismissed the charges exonerating Krolicki and his Chief of Staff Kathy Besser. [16] “I think the attorney general, at the very least, owes me an apology,” Besser said. “Catharine Cortez Masto should be ashamed of herself and what she allowed her office to do.” [17] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toddrobben (talk • contribs) 14:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 March newsletter

We are over half way through the second round of this year's WikiCup and things are going well! Grapple X (submissions), of Pool B, is our highest overall scorer thanks to his prolific writings on television and film. In second place is Pool H's Cwmhiraeth (submissions), thanks primarily to work on biological articles, especially in marine biology and herpetology. Third place goes to Pool E's Casliber (submissions), who also writes primarily on biology (including ornithology and botany) and has already submitted two featured articles this round. Of the 63 contestants remaining, 15 (just under a quarter) have over 100 points this round. However, 25 are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly. 32 contestants, the top two from each pool and the 16 next-highest scorers, will advance to round 3.

Congratulations to Matthewedwards (submissions), whose impressive File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg became the competition's first featured picture. Also, congratulations to 12george1 (submissions), who claimed good topic points, our first contestant this year to do so, for his work on Wikipedia:Featured topics/1982 Atlantic hurricane season. This leaves featured topics and featured portals as the only sources of points not yet utilised. However, as recent statistics from Miyagawa (submissions) show, no source has yet been utilised this competition to the same extent it has been previously!

It has been observed that the backlogs at good article candidates are building up again. While the points for good article reviews will be remaining constant, any help that can be offered keeping the backlog down would be appreciated. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Kenneth Patchen image

Hi again. Jonathan Clark has very kindly emailed me, to tell me that he has found several other photos definitely by Chester Kessler. Miriam Patchen had dated them as 1952 and it is likely the one currently posted was done, also by Kessler, around the same time, in San Francisco. He has sent copies to me of the three that he has, in case I might want to use one of them. They are all very good and perhaps even better than the one currently used in the article. I have replied to Jonathan asking for any clarification he could give on copyright status. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:35, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

That's great. I think that information is sufficient to date the photograph as circa 1952. It would be ideal to have a high quality photograph of Patchen released under a free license. The rights to those photographs probably belong to Kessler (or possibly Patchen's estate) and would need to be explicitly released and verified through WP:OTRS for anything other than fair use. If that doesn't happen, I'd support swapping out the current photo for one of the others and trust your discretion. Let me know if I can assist in any way and thanks for the follow-up.

Anarchism and Occupy Wall Street

Hi, I'm involved in the reviewing of this article for DYK, and thought I'd have a quick chat about this article. I agree with the unbalanced tag you've added to the article, and in fact had considered adding similar when I reviewed it. I'm no expert on philosophy (or whatever subject this comes under), and don't really know if you are, but given you added the tags, I'm assuming you might have some more expertise than I! What would you say is the likelihood that this article will be able to stand as a balanced, well-written piece within the next week? Would you be able to provide any assistance in getting the article into that state? I'm not trying to pressurise you into helping at all, I'm just trying to gauge how much this article is likely to resolve its problems within a reasonable span for DYK. Kind regards, Harrias ^talk 19:01, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Harrias. I'm no expert either, but I've followed the progress of the Occupy movement and know the difference between the anarchism of Kropotkin and Bakunin. I'm more than willing to assist in the improvement of this article (particularly with balancing), but I don't think it will get there in a week without a more concerted effort. I've asked for input/feedback at both the Anarchism and Occupy WikiProjects. Gobōnobo ^{+ c} 19:26, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I don't really know anything about the subject (beyond having seen a trestle table with banner in Exeter, and a guy with a tent in Taunton!) I think you're probably right though, the article really needs some degree of balance, and I don't think it is that likely to come soon. I'll put the nomination "on hold" for a while, to give people time to improve the article if they can, but I suspect this article is going to be too problematic to make it onto the main page.
