Hello User:78.26 I just made my first contribution to Wikipedia atDraft:Peter Danso-Mensah , how do you see it? Wiki3310 (talk) 20:38, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

That looks pretty good. I'm not very familiar with the topic, I would recommend you seek the advice of Wikipedia:WikiProject Football. Welcome, I hope you enjoy editing here! 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 22:37, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Aww, thanks Gerda! Absolutely wonderful. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 22:35, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Please check out "Happy" once more, for a smile, and sharing (a Nobel Peace Prize), and resolutions. I wanted that for 1 January, but then wasn't sad about having our music pictured instead. Not too late for resolutions, New Year or not. DYK that he probably kept me on Wikipedia, back in 2012? By the line (which brought him to my attention, and earned the first precious in br'erly style) that I added to my editnotice, in fond memory? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:04, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Airmen

I recall doing a lot of work on The Airmen of Note but when I looked at the article today, there was no record of any of it. I had some power outages at my house in recent months that shut down my computer, and of course that would have deleted anything I didn't publish. But I thought I did publish some edits, and I don't recall if I had computer problems during those particular edits. Are there edits in the edit history that I don't have access to? My Contributions list is too long to comb through one at a time. Is there a way to search for "Airmen of Note" in my contributions from 2018? Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.
Vmavanti (talk) 02:19, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

There's no deleted edits at that article, and [1] shows you've never edited that article. I'm terribly sorry I wasn't more helpful. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 05:42, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank You

Thank you 78.26 for your warm welcome and list of basic introductory pages. I have no doubt I will be back asking for further guidance! Ornamental Peasant (talk) 00:21, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

@Ornamental Peasant: You're more than welcome. I appreciate the update you made to the Colt Clavier Collection. Editing here can be confusing and sometimes difficult, but I'll do what I can to help you. So long as you present a neutral point of view, keep in mind the wp:notability guideline, and keep a collaborative environment, you'll find most editors will bend over backwards to assist you. I hope you enjoy it here, and I look forward to your continued contributions. All the best, 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 01:03, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Recent AfD close

I don't envy anyone trying to close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kätlin Aas, so thank you for doing it. I'm still learning about AfD closes, so I thought I'd ask a question about the part of the rationale that said the link between NMODEL/ENT and runway shows was not "clearly outlined". RebeccaGreen did, in fact, outline the specific case for meeting the NMODEL/ENT criterion you mentioned in your close, even quoting the same part of the guideline. Is the issue that more people didn't make it? Thanks for any explanation. None is fine, too, obviously. Bakazaka (talk) 18:37, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm still learning about AfD closes also, and I'm an admin! There's nothing wrong with RebeccaGreen's outline. The point that I was trying to make was that NMODEL itself is not clear what constitutes a "major production". I felt this ambiguity of the standard itself weakened the position, not that the position itself was presented weakly, as she made a good case that Prada should be considered major. It would strengthen NMODEL as an SNG if specific standards for modeling were presented (my opinion). A lot of us fashion-disinclined aren't familiar with the modeling world... 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 18:44, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

That makes sense. There's even an RfC underway at WikiProject Fashion about writing an explicit NMODEL guideline, so the fashion-inclined seem to agree! Thanks for the explanation, and for taking the time to work through the 50kb AfD. Bakazaka (talk) 18:51, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Eddie Calhoun

Please give serious thought to this subject and read at least the post I wrote on Sunday Jan. 27, 2019. If you cannot be impartial about this subject, please refer me to another admin. My interest is the improvement of Wikipedia. Editing, as in life, has two parts: Correcting the mistake, and trying the prevent the mistakes from happening again (learning from the mistake). If part two is missing, we go in circles. There are three people who prevent me from making progress. Each case is fairly clear and uncontroversial. Here's one.
Vmavanti (talk) 17:01, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

• 78.26, if I may--the comments referred to on Talk:Eddie Calhoun are really quite remarkable in the amount of bad faith they display. I don't want to get into an argument with someone on your talk page, but those notes are seriously uncollegial. Drmies (talk) 17:07, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

• (sigh). @Vmavanti: I have to agree with Drmies. You need to seriously dial it down. Unfortunately, I can't cherry pick when to notice these things just because it is someone I happen to like, and someone who I know to be a subject expert. You may not unilaterally tell someone else how to edit, and redlinks are fine when a topic is likely to be notable, and a topic is likely to be written in the future (and note that reasonable people have different standards in this regard). I know you and Chubbles bump into each other a lot because you share many of the same interests, but you need to leave his edits alone. I know that when you two work collaboratively good things have happened, but Chubbles has extended graceful language towards you many times over, and you initiate hostility towards him as he extends and olive branch. Case in point is your last entry at Eddie Calhoun. If this continues you will find your editing here all the more frustrating and possibly short-lived. That is not a threat from me personally, it is merely an inevitability based on our standards of conduct. I HATE, HATE getting involved in this in this manner, and I HATE the thought of losing you as an editor here, because I have seen what you have accomplished. ANI is no fun, but several editors have been brought there and sanctioned for less. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 17:27, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Drmies: I didn't ask you, so mind your own business, Mrs. Kravitz. I can think of few things less collegial than thumbing one's nose at the rules and sticking a thumb in the eye of readers.

As an administrator, it is Drmies business to stop disruptive editing when he sees it. It is not Chubbles who is being disruptive. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 19:03, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Please define disruptive editing for me. Then please show me where I have been guilty of disruptive editing. I'm not kidding, I mean this literally. I'm willing to admit an editing mistake. Show me.
Vmavanti (talk) 19:34, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

I certainly can tell someone they are editing incorrectly and against the rules. I think you're responding to tone rather than content. It's my understanding that part of being an admin is doing and saying things you dislike, perhaps even things you disagree with. It's tough being a boss. I get that. But this isn't about like or dislike or getting your attention. Why would you lose me? You're certainly not going to lose me. I never said anything suggesting that. As far as I know, I'm giving proof of acts which have to change for the good of Wikipedia. That's it. People can change how they work. It's not impossible. It isn't rocket science. It isn't the end of world if a person alters their work methods to become consistent with the rules. The person you mentioned does indeed appear to be mild mannered. But when you get your way, that's how it is, right? I'm asking you to judge actions, not talk, talk, talk. You can look at the edits, the history, and Talk pages. I have no plans to go anywhere. If you look at my contributions, I think they speak for themselves. Do a before-after test on articles I've worked on. Look at my edits. I don't wear a top hat and tails when I edit. I don't drink tea with my pinkie sticking out. I roll up my sleeves. I believe I have done nothing wrong. Look, don't worry about it. I'll talk to someone else. At least you are being honest. I with that were true of everyone. There's a long tradition of hiding behind good manners. Keep an eye out for that.
Vmavanti (talk) 18:33, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

"redlinks are fine when a topic is likely to be notable". Yes. When. One has to determine when or if. We are not suppose to red link, create articles, or deprod arbitrarily. All three subjects demand a minimal amount of serious research. I didn't make that up. It's not about me. That is straight from the rule book. To do otherwise is irresponsible, unethical, and counterproductive.
Vmavanti (talk) 18:38, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

I haven't seen any arbitrary editing. So all who disagree with you are unethical? If someone doesn't edit the same way you do, they are counterproductive? I implore you to step back and re-assess what it is like to attempt to collaborate with you. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 19:01, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Yes, editing counter to the rules of Wikipedia is counterproductive.
Vmavanti (talk) 19:36, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Are you reading my posts? You have not addressed the specific points. You are asking me broad questions from your conclusions. Please read them again without reading between the lines. I will answer specific questions about the posts. Should I repeat myself?
Vmavanti (talk) 19:32, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

OK, fine:

1. "My method means progress and solving problems. Yours creates problems." That is incredibly arrogant.
2. "Those are your motives, assumptions, and actions, and they have nothing to do with the goals and purposes of Wikipedia." Unconscionable.
3. You are imposing your interpretation of the rules. I already have said that there are differing opinions regarding what is "likely notable". Therefore if Chubbles adds a redlink to a topic he feels is "likely notable", then he is not being "counterproductive". If you feel particular redlinks should be removed, and you and Chubbles can't come to agreement, I would suggest you you crate a WP:RfC on any given issue, since you are editing in areas that are obscure and generally absent of drama.
4. Regarding his method you say "But it's unacceptable." Wikipedia's editors should treat each other with respect and civility is a pillar which trumps any rule, and particularly any one editor's interpretation of said rule. And WP:RED is a guideline, not a rule. Chubbles has been here a long time. Chubbles is not known his involvement in drama. He has earned some respect. You have earned my respect also, which is why I haven't blocked you, given you are showing you are unwilling to collaborate or achieve a consensus that doesn't fit your particulars.
5. I don't have time to go through every point of dispute, but hopefully you can catch the spirit of what I'm trying to say. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 19:46, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Now you are making personal attacks on me. And you are threatening me. What the hell? Block me for what? For asking questions? For answering questions? For editing material that has been incorrectly edited? For saying we should follow the rules? Which of these do you consider worthy of blocking and why? You quote me of context. You quote "My way is productive" but you left off "because it follows the rules." Perhaps it's best if you recuse yourself from further involvement, because you are not displaying impartiality. You are attacking me and threatening me. I'll discuss my posts, but in full, not chopped up so they make me look like an idiot. You have to prove to me that you understand my point before I can respond to it. I'm not going to respond to straw men and false accusations. Being here a long time does not give one the freedom to break rules, to treat people disrespectfully, to refuse to engage in civil debate, and to threaten them.
Vmavanti (talk) 20:02, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Vmavanti, please explain what your "Mrs. Kravitz" comment is supposed to mean. How should I be offended? Is it something about vaginas? Or Lenny Kravitz's race? Or my guitar-playing abilities? Please, enlighten me. After that, I'll be happy to explain to you what the difference is between "the rules" and "what you think the rules are" is, though I think 78.26 did a pretty good job already. Drmies (talk) 22:51, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Deleted page / help!

Hello, I just found that our company had (briefly) a page which was deleted here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sassafras_Software

After reading everything I could find about how this all works, this article seems the most relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_was_the_page_I_created_deleted%3F

And it suggested contacting the admin who deleted. I don't see the deletion displayed quite as clearly as is described in the previous link, but I think it might be you?

In any case, to the question at hand, I'm trying to understand why the deletion happened, or if perhaps it could be reconsidered. The objections I read on the discussion page are WP:CORPDEPTH WP:ORGIND and WP:TOOSOON, and some discussion of whether the references are notable. The publications though were industry publications, not "pay for publication/promotion", and our company helped form an entire category of software over the course of almost 30 years . Actually now I can't even seem to find the final state of the article - though I had seen it while published and thought I could still see how it used to read. Also from what I recall of the article, it had a good number of references (8 or 10?) over the course of nearly 30 years. As I compare our entry to pages on other companies in our industry (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarc or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexera_Software or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lansweeper ) it seems like our page was much more informative, our company more notable, etc.

In short if you can provide any tips why the page was deleted, where I can find the archive of it, what should potentially be changed, etc, that would be appreciated. I've read a lot of wikipedia help pages but they are vast and complex! Thanks!

Mmblz (talk) 18:27, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

@Mmblz: I deleted it per the discussion at AfD, which you already link to. The article had sources, but few of them talked directly about the company. Regarding the other pages, please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. I know navigating Wikipedia rules and guidelines is complex, but a thorough reading of Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) is your best option. If you have additional sources you can create an article at Wikipedia:Your first article, but please use the Wikipedia:Articles for creation because of your WP:COI regarding the topic. If you do so, please be sure to publicly identify your COI, either at your user page or on the talk page of any draft you create. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 18:48, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

@78.26: Thank you, that's very helpful (am I doing this right?) ... is the deleted page available somewhere? As I remember it did have some useful information including some references I don't have handy.

I'd be willing to restore it to a "sandbox" area within your user space, provided you agree 1. Not to move it to main space without either my permission or via the AfC process 2. to have it deleted if notability can not be established within six months of working on it. Deal? (And yes, you're doing things right so far. We're not mankind-eating ogres here, merely difficult ) 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 19:03, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Help

Can I ask you to review my article which is in the draft? Thanks!Hispring (talk) 16:36, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

@Hispring: It's properly sourced, and reasonably WP:NPOV. So you've cleared some of the more difficult hurdles! My question is regarding the notability of the event itself. Why should this be a separate article, instead of incorporated into the wider Yemeni civil-war article? 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 18:47, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks you! As you know, Yemen civil war breaks to several articles, so current article is too long. In order to shorten the article, I devoted another page to this subject which strongle supported by RS.Hispring (talk) 19:25, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Is it allowed to move draft to main speace by me?Hispring (talk) 10:31, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

@Hispring: You can, but I'd recommend against it. I've approved it via the AfC process, but it is possible it will be merged by other editors into the main article about the large conflict. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 15:18, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Please participate to the talk pages consultation

Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

Re: Draft:Robert Davine - Move Request to Main Page

Ciao 78.26: Just a quick note to say I enjoyed reading about your extensive editorial interests and expertise on Wikipedia:Teahouse. If you have some extra time perhaps you could assist in moving the article Draft:Robert Davine into the Main Page of Wikipedia. Professor Davine was a noted international accordion virutoso and founder of the Accordion Studies program at the Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver. He was recognized internationally as a concert artist and in Europe and China and contributed to the modernization of China's academic programs in music following the cultural revolution in the 1980s. He has recorded several contemporary works for the accordion and chamber orchestra as well as a CD devoted entirely to music for THE TANGO! as shown here on allmusic.com: . I hope that you find it interesting and that you enjoy the music!

I'll take a look, but it seems like an improvement at first glance. A bit busy at the moment, so I may not get to it before someone else does. I agree with the advice you received at the talk page. Why not create an account? I know we have some longstanding editors who refuse to do so, but I have yet to understand the advantages of editing as an IP or IP6. Your privacy is actually increased by registering. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 18:24, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Recreating article Leo Stan Ekeh

Hello 78.26,

I am reaching out because i wish too recreate an article that you deleted on 29 May 2018 per an AFD outcome here. I believe the subject satisfies notability guidelines. Just checking in with you. Lapablo (talk) 19:10, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

@Lapablo:, would you be ok if I restored it to your user space, so you can add the necessary sources, and then you can move it to article space at your leisure? 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 19:34, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Can I See the Deleted Content on the Krassenstein Brothers?

I read some policy or other that said that an Administrator that is willing to show deleted content can be asked to do so. Went to the list, saw your User Name, and since we've already talked I thought maybe you were the one to ask. I'd like to read the content to see if anything is salvageable. Also I know that I'm supposed to find out why it was deleted first, which I haven't done yet. But if the Article is truly horrible and useless, I already know I'm not going to try to resurrect it, so that's why I'm putting the cart before the horse.Tym Whittier (talk) 19:26, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

@Tym Whittier: May I restore it to your sandbox area? Then you can look at it, and not worry about it being deleted immediately. If you agree it is un-salvageable, let me know and I'll re-delete it. Happy editing! 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 19:41, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Sure. I just want to look at the text, see how sourced it was, etc...Tym Whittier (talk) 20:27, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

User:78.26 I looked in the sandbox and did not see the text. Did it get sent there?Tym Whittier (talk) 14:07, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Please check these pages

Suddenly these pages are under proposed deletion: Arun Budhathoki, Kathmandu Tribune, Nepal Tribune Media. Would you please check?

@Ozar77:Any article may be discussed at WP:AfD. This is the formal process by which the community may decide if a topic is encyclopedic. So far the discussion seems to be proceeding as I would expect. For what are you asking me to check? 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 14:04, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Julian W. Lucas Deletion

Hello,

I'm looking to rework a page that was deleted for Julian W. Lucas I believe it was wrongfully deleted so I'm working with other users to write it so it can be successfully published. I was told to reach out to have the deleted page sent back over to my page. If you could please do that I'd sincerely appreciate it. I wrote this article as he is one of the few professional disabled models out there and I believe it is necessary that he has a wikipedia page for others within the disabled community and more to be able to access.

Thank you very much!

Zenwexler (talk) 16:05, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

@Zenwexler: - looks like ReaderofthePack has already done this for you at User:Zenwexler/Julian W. Lucas. Happy editing! 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 17:08, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Jay Larranaga

Hi, while viewing the page for Jay Larranaga (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Larrañaga), I noticed that his name should not have a tilded "n." Would it be possible to correct this?

@Turtleturtle00: I would suggest bringing this up at the talk page. Sometimes American sources don't use diacritics. On the other hand, I'm not aware that "ñ" is ever used in an Irish context. (also, please sign your messages, by typing four tildes ("~~~~".) All the best, 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 17:08, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Assistant needed

Hello @78.26:, I need assistance with an article which I created just now is Danish Alfaaz as Times of India is a trusted reliable sources to prove notability. So need your help to understand whether my created article comply with Wikipedia: Policy. I hope you assist me thañks. MDPMHG (talk) 15:09, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

I don't think it does. The Times of India is a reliable source, but the link in the article is just a posting of the video, and does not discuss it in-depth. The other two sites are so heavy in advertisements that I question their reliability. I hope that helps. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 19:30, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
