Help with GA

Will you help me go through a GA review with Raoul Wallenberg? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 01:09, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

It might be too soon for a GA review since it looks like a peer review is pending. In my view, each sentence should have a footnote (expect those in the lead section). Otherwise, how is a reviewing editor supposed to know where the information came from to be able to verify that information? The copyright material in the article footnotes needs to be delted. The footnotes in the article need to be revised to be proper footnotes. I revised footnote 5 to give you an example of what I mean. Also, if you haven't done so, you may want to go through each of these links looking for material to add to the article. This should give you a start. Once you addressed all the peer review statements, then the article may be ready for GA review. -- Jreferee 16:04, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:SSSN DVD Cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:SSSN DVD Cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image:SSSN DVD Cover.jpg is a duplicate image of Image:Sheshouldasaidno.jpg, uploaded two days earlier on November 27, 2006. Please delete Image:SSSN DVD Cover.jpg.-- Jreferee 16:28, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Harry McNish

In case you are interested, this article, which you found some useful sources for back when it was a wee stub, just became a featured article. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Yomangani^talk 12:28, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

The guy whose cat had more notoriety than he did? I am impressed by your hard efforts and those others who contributed to bring McNish up to a featured article. To me, this is Wikipedia at its best - presenting quality information to the world on an encyclopedic topic that otherwise would remain known by a few. Congratulations and I do appreciate your notifying me of the article's featured status. -- Jreferee 15:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

WPBiography project tagging

I came across STTWBot while {{WPBiography}} project tagging articles listed at DYK. Is it possible to modify STTWBot to assist me in tagging biography article talk pages with {{WPBiography}}? Thanks. -- Jreferee 16:02, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

My bot currently has approval for tagging WikiProject France and WikiProject Germany only. Any change has to be approved at Wikipedia:Bot requests first. So when if you can wait then I could request for an approval and help you out, should take perhaps a week or so. STTW (talk) 16:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

In my WPBiography tagging, I review the article for living, groups, etc, and then paste and then edit the following text according to my review of the article:{{WPBiography |living = yes no |class = |needs-infobox = yes |activepol = yes |a&e-work-group = yes |politician-work-group = yes |military-work-group = yes |sports-work-group = yes |s&a-work-group = yes |musician-work-group = yes |listas = |needs-photo = yes }} This string of text contains the most used WPBiography text and is useful for most articles. This may help you in configuring the bot. It would be nice to work with you on modifying the bot so I can get an idea of how bots are put together. -- Jreferee 17:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Banjee (copied from here)

I was told by House of Scandal that he is the author of the photo and the model gave permission. Note the face is largely obscured. Admins involved with DYK are aware this photo is being used and none have objected. Please assume good faith. Thanks! Shaundakulbara 18:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

The images in Banjee are potentially libelous to the persons in the images since the images appear to be of living people and the persons in the image are associated with being thuggish men who have sex with men. Since article does not include Wikipedia reliable sources to support such an association, I do not believe that the images meet the requirements of WP:BLP. I deleted the images because WP:BLP requires quick deletion under such circumstances. -- Jreferee 19:17, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

You are working with the assumption that having man/man sex or dressing in a certain way is a bad thing. If the article was about straight men who dressed a certain way would THAT be a problem? The subjects of the photos can't be identified from these pics anyway. There is no problem here. Please, please let it go. Shaundakulbara 19:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

BLP/DRV/AFD/ArbComm Mess

You seem to be quite active in Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. Please look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Simon Fraser University 1997 harassment controversy, and at least the most recent DRV, and decide whether to mention the AFD on the noticeboard or it's talk page or not. If the AFD results in a keep closure, then I would like some of the BLP regulars to put the new article on their BLP watchlists, given the history and the BLP driven ArbComm remedy that the article is subject to. GRBerry 20:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Did you know?

On 4 February, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Disco D, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Biography of living persons adminship

"Biography of Living Persons Administrators ("BLP Admins") carry out a specialized, narrowly tailored administrative role within Wikipedia." Please see WP:BLPADMIN to offer your thoughts on this proposal. CyberAnth 03:44, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Joyce Kilmer

They removed the protection on the Joyce Kilmer article. As I'm busy this week with funeral stuff and other obligations, can you keep an eye on it to make sure Alansohn and Richard Arthur Norton don't start fucking it up again. If they do, please ask for it to be protected until the issue is resolved. —ExplorerCDT 10:43, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Web traffic

Hi Jref. Thanks for your comments at the Adam4Adam AfD Debate. I can see your comments are well-thought out and even required a little research. I appreciate that sort of effort very much even if it leads you to a different conclusion than my own. Would you please tell me what resource you used to determine the amount of web traffic? That seems like a resource it would be helpful to have at my disposal now and in the future. Thanks. House of Scandal 16:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

• I see now by its mention in the article that it was Hitwise. Thanks much. House of Scandal 17:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Thank you very much for adding the company info box. I made a correction in the intro as "A4A Network Inc." is current business name not frmer operations name and is already discussed in the text. I am glad the substance of the article has improved enough to sway your opinion in the AFD debate. Best wishes.--House of Scandal 06:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Permissions email

First of all, I want to apologise for the delay you experienced. We're quite backlogged. I'm not sure that's the reason nothing happened, however. I've looked over the email you forwarded to us quite carefully, and I am unable to find the actual release statement in it. Did your email client perhaps trim it out of the email due to the length? Am I missing it somewhere in the midst of the text? Would it be helpful for me to send you back what you sent us? Jkelly 18:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

No need to apologize, but I appreciate it. At the top of the email, the email client wrote "Below is a summary of your request and our response." In their response at the bottom of the email, the requested Permissions were granted. (Category Level 1: Rights and Permissions; Category Level 2: Permissions) -- Jreferee 18:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I saw that, but that's not really a binding licensing statement... it looks more like their email-sorting queue to me. You never got a further response from them? I'm afraid that we really need something more authoritative than that, since we wouldn't know who to attribute the copyright to, a requirement of the GFDL. Jkelly 18:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem, I'll contact them again. -- Jreferee 20:44, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. Jkelly 00:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Your note

Thank you Jreferee for your help and effort in this matter - it is very much appreciated. Crum375 20:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Make Way for Ducklings

I started that 25 months ago, eh? *sniff* It's so hard to see the little ones grow up and go out on their own ... (although if you check the history from last year, you'll find that I tried and failed to slash out large parts of the article! Perhaps it's just as well I didn't succeed) - DavidWBrooks 20:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Please reasd talk page

Jreferee, if you plan to edit the Afshar experiment article, please read the talk page and refrain from making changes. I am currently mediating a conflict in this article. Thank you! Sdirrim 17:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I removed most of the references to living person Afshar in the article to resolve a request about the article on the BLPN page. Please feel free to revert any of my changes should that aid your mediation. -- Jreferee 17:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Template:Did you know/Next update

I saw you made some good improvements to the wording on T:DYK/N... when changeing wording there, don't forget to change the wording at Template:Did you know/Next update/Clear as well, because that's used to refresh, so your changes would be lost (if not done there) at the next time ../clear was used to refresh. I wonder if that tip needs to be saved somewhere :) ++Lar: t/c 21:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Lar. I added the DYK next update clear to the list at Wikipedia:Did_you_know#DYK. I'm not exactly sure how/when the DYK next update clear page is used to refresh the DYK next update page. Would you mind providing more detail about the DYK next update clear page on the Wikipedia:Did you know page. Thanks. -- Jreferee 19:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
