The Dagda's Cauldron

Hi, I think just a bit of re-arrangement so that the article starts like, The Dagda's Cauldron is..... I suppose I could have done it myself, now you mention it, but I notice you started the article, so maybe you would want do it? Arcturus 23:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

How do you un-nominate an AFD?

Cheryl Kaye Tardif is now improved, the author herself is now working toward the goal of creating a good article, I believe she has come a long way towards that and has made some valid points on her User talk page. I am willing to continue working with her and now need to know how to go about possibly closing the AFD. If you know could you enlighten me? Thanx ←ScoPhreek→ 20:32, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I've now been working pretty closely with the author, what else would you suggest that we do to the article? (Constructive critisism please) She may be nonnotable in our areas but apparently is making a name for herself in Canada, so I guess the question is, "Is she a notable person in Canada?" I have no idea, but, I do know that there are articles on a lot less notable people here at wikipedia and they get to stay so ... (shrug) ←ScoPhreek→ 03:22, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Linda Trimble

Hi. Not sure if you are watching the debate but I think you might want to reconsider your vote on the AfD for Linda Trimble. There is actually only one book and not five which she has authored. Thanks. Pascal.Tesson 13:50, 12 August 2006 (UTC) No it is of course the right Linda Trimble! The problem, as I explained on the AfD page, is that she is not the author but the editor of those books. Which is a very very different thing. Cheers. Pascal.Tesson 14:40, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chiricheppu

Good thing that you put this up for deletion. S.Jithesh who is the editor of that magazine has created an article for himself and is on a campaign put up his name in various lists. I don't think he is notable and my queries to other Malayalam editors got similar responses (Wikipedia_talk:Notice_board_for_India-related_topics/Kerala#S.Jithesh and this. )

This person or his suspected sock/meat puppets have been adding his name everywhere - see [1], [2], [3]), removing posts questioning his notability ( [4], [5]) and arguing for him ([6]).

IMO, this looks a delete now. I'll wait for other people's comments before adding mine, and if this gets deleted, I will nominate S. Jithesh too. I won't be surprised if many 'new' editors appear to comment on this Afd. Tintin (talk) 06:02, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Chiricheppu

I dunno, heh. :) From an RC patrol perspective, they haven't been too much of a problem, just yet. I'm going to watchlist the pages of everyone involved, which should probably reduce the problems even further still. At least one of them's already been blocked, if any others prove to be persistent vandals or such, I suspect they will, as well. If there's any vandalism, threats, or any such thing I'm missing, feel free to let me know. Luna Santin 21:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think there's any proof that they're socks. IMO, they're colleagues of the Adv sreekumar guy, adn he's requested them to help out.

dont try to show personal vendetta. if you have the right to delete my own created articles i too have the right to do it. you and your tin tin are trying to defame others. you are not doing editing. you are doing nuisance to others. we know who are you. you people are mere tools of some nasty politicians who are trying to defame chiricheppu.we too edit you and tintin mercilessly.

To Mr.P.C.Sanalkumar I.A.S, the advocate and other supporters of the magazine

Please note that no one is saying anything bad about Chiricheppu or Mr.Jithesh Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and they have few guidelines for them. They are trying to implement this. There is no need to get unduly worried. You can perhaps scan few pages of the magazine like the cover page, the page showing the details of the Editor, Publisher etc, the page showing the Registration number (registered as a newspaper under so and so) and upload that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload

• Can you change the opinion after you get the images and if they are satisfactory???
• Moreover please note that the media in Europe and America (as well as the media in Delhi and Bombay) are different from the Media in Kerala. A person may get less than 5 % of the coverage in media, yet he will be a very notable personality

1. Most of the press coverage is by the Local Media in Languages like Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Bengali
2. Such media reports do not have an online edition
3. If if there is an online edition, most of the reports are not in Unicode, but use their own fonts and not searchable
4. Even many of the English papers are behind a subscription and hence not retrievable

• Moreover, notability is an subjective phenomenon. To me (a doctor) William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain are not notable where as Harrison and Pastuer are notable. To an electrical engineer, it may be other wise. In such a context, it will be best if the notability is decided by the editors from the concerned field. (ie) If the AFD debate is regarding a political party of Bengal [7] it will be non notable for those from France and even to those from Kerala. What is the use of everyone visiting the page and adding delete ??? Similarly, in this case, I think it is better to get the opinion of few guys who the habit of reading papers and books published in local language (which unfortunately many wikipedians don't have) and then decide

Tirlannon

Your choice of words regarding the Legacy of Tirlannon has offended me deeply. There is *no* vanity in the work I have set out to do. I have chosen the route of independent publication, because I find the methodology of the traditional press sickening. I have never once received a rejection letter for any of my submissions. I have chosen the route of independent publication at this time to protect my rights and interests.

It is not a vanity publication. It is not something I seek glory in. I haven't even published it under my real name. I do this because I have had a vision, and I wish to tell everyone who will hear what I have seen...

It was not even my choice to have a wikipedia entry added. It was one of my fans who wrote it up, on his own initiative.

Talk:Triaria/De claris mulieribus

Copied from above Hi, This is the basic citation for the Boccaccio ref in the Triaria article. It would unbalance the article to include it in te article itself but putting it on Wikibooks makes the linking cumbersome. I initially put this on Talk:Triaria, but that's not really what talk pages are intended for. So I felt a sub-page was the neatest solution. Dlyons493 Talk 09:27, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I understand your reasoning, but "cumbersome linking" is not a good reason to use this solution. You were probably not aware of this, but making subpages in main article space is not allowed (see Wikipedia:Subpages), and is supposed to be impossible anyway (not your fault that you could do something that is supposedly impossible). So I fear that you will have to link to some outside source anyway (wikibooks or another). Fram 09:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I have to CSD these per Fram. Could this not be included as a reference in small text at the bottom of the main article? Not sure what an alternative solution would be. Sorry. Let me know if you want it userfied -- Samir ???? 11:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Ifti Elahi article

Thank you for the time you have spent verifying the Ifti Elahi article. This article needs tidying up but it is genunine and i would ask of you to rescue it from deletion. The opinions of both Kader AND Ifti are described through interviews and although badly written, they are NOT the personal rant of the writer. Could I ask you to study the article more closely and verify that this is true and rescue the article from deletion as i will put citations up in the next few days. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for uploading Image:SuzanneDoppelt.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Social activist.

Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:55, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
