Comment by User:83.128.175.68

I attempted to make it more neutral by adding a source that favored the orthodox side next to the many liberal ones. On an issue of Catholicism, Catholic sources should have their place.83.128.175.68 (talk) 20:10, 17 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for voicing your issue. With your edit, you removed several independent, reliable sources and replaced it with a single source to back up your claim. Wikipedia articles should adhere to a neutral point of view and Catholic sources are therefore not to be regarded as the best sources on Catholic issues. Kebabpizza (talk) 20:18, 17 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

The sources are rather anti-papal and hence not neutral. Islamic articles, or Coptic articles don`t get the same treatment. They rely mainly on their sources and not that of their enemies. 83.128.175.68 (talk) 20:22, 17 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

If you're using terms like "anti-papal" then I would have serious concerns about your objectivity on this issue. Contaldo80 (talk) 07:25, 18 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

CSD

Please be careful with your speedy deletion nominations. For example, you tagged How do satelites help humans as G1 (patent nonsense) when it was clearly understandable. G12 was more applicable because the article was a copyvio of [1]. Was this just a typo? Altamel (talk) 21:38, 17 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I have replied on your talk page :) Kebabpizza (talk) 11:42, 18 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid I disagree: that article was never eligible for G1 speedy deletion. It was poorly formatted, and the lack of paragraph breaks meant it was difficult to understand, but "patent nonsense" only refers to text that is so convoluted that despite any effort, it is impossible to understand. The speedy deletion criteria should be applied very strictly: it might be helpful to read Wikipedia:Field guide to proper speedy deletion and review examples of what is and what is not patent nonsense. But thank you for your work patrolling vandalism and new pages. The encyclopedia definitely needs more help in those areas; it is important that patrollers discourage only the vandals, and not any good-faith newcomers.

Attack page

edit

Hi. I received a speedy deletion notification from you that doubles as a pretty stern warning for creating an attack page, which I don't believe I deserved. The page in question is User talk:Doctor Quax. It's important to take a look at the page history before tagging a page as WP:G10. In this case, I created this user's talk page six months ago when I, coincidentally, notified them that I'd tagged a page of theirs for speedy deletion. The user has since been indefinitely blocked, but still had access to edit their talk page for the purpose of making unblock requests. The inappropriate content was inserted today by that user over the top of the talk page content.

In the event of a page that previously contained appropriate content, but which was vandalized to contain attack content, G10 is not appropriate. The page should be reverted to the "clean" version and, if the attack is bad enough, you can contact an admin to request revision deletion of only the inappropriate revisions of the page.

In this case, the page has already been reverted rather than deleted, and the user's block was modified to prevent them from editing their talk page in future. Cheers, Nick⁠—⁠Contact/Contribs 00:16, 19 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your feedback, I looked at the user's contributions and I was aware that he had been blocked, I therefore saw no encyclopedic value in keeping a talk page with such content, as the user will never edit Wikipedia again. I apologise for the warning that was (automatically) sent to you. Kebabpizza (talk) 09:18, 19 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Derek Chauvin

I think it's quite clear that there should not be an article on Derek Chauvin. Did you read the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Derek Chauvin (police officer)? StAnselm (talk) 23:13, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Derek Chauvin mugshot.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Derek Chauvin mugshot.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Tutelary (talk) 03:50, 15 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
