Thank you |
| Thank you for the kind words. I can't believe they deleted the page, despite 19 votes (out of 54) to keep it. That is not a consensus. And the reason? There is a supposed consensus that a list of scientists, that are not climate scientists, is not appropriate? That is absurd. What do we do, and how do we fix this?

- Thanks. It is very difficult. The nominator canvassed a bunch of editors over to delete that article but he will not face sanctions. The involved editors have attacked the article rescue project where I posted that article, and then made multiple attempts to have the article rescue project eliminated. One is still going. It is a terrible shame. You can file a deletion review. Or try to recreate it addressing the concerns of the Delete votes. A copy exists on a wiki mirror site.

Accusation of "feigning ignorance" edit
This is essentially an accusation that I was lying about not seeing previous deletion discussions. That's not correct. I just missed the prior discussions. I'm not really sure what I would gain by pretending to not see prior deletion discussions anyway. I would appreciate it if you would strike through that comment.
I've tried to make it clear that I'm open to working with you on this stuff. If that's not coming through, let me be more explicit: I want to work with you here, I don't want to destroy ARS or make you grovel. I want to contribute to the project. I think some of my suggestions might reduce the drama without changing the way ARS operates. You're treating everyone like the enemy, and it will end up being a self-fulfilling prophecy if you do it long enough. Nblund talk 21:12, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hey we think alike - I already publicly apologized because of the different title. Lightburst (talk) 21:24, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Nblund: I hope you understand, administrators, and editors turn up every few months to place restrictions on the group. And about twice a year or more someone tries to shut the project down. I pointed out of the weekly estimated 500-800 articles that get nominated for deletion, we might pick 1-3. And sometimes the members have no interest in an article and it sinks into oblivion. All we keep doing is plugging away trying to make a difference. I will tell you how I became involved. I started an article called Jean Mill. It was immediately tagged with an AfD. I was new and could not make the correct arguments or support the article with correct references- check out the nominator ridiculing me with Wiki-acronyms. I learned a lot...anyway ARS picked up the article and helped me save it. From then on, I participated on the project. We have had some successes, and many more failures. There are about three or four editors who detest the project, and they follow whatever we post only to !vote delete on the AfD. you can probably understand why there are so few participants now.

Hey just a heads up. If you are looking to find the birthday all I could find was some non-RS saying it was July 28, 1991.[1][2] Neither reliable but at least consistent, a better source would need to be found to be useable. PackMecEng (talk) 21:42, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks! I updated the article. Will continue to look for better sources! Lightburst (talk) 21:48, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi Lightburst. You've uploaded this file under both a non-free license and a PD-FLGOV license which is going to create a license conflict and lead to the file getting tagged with {{wrong license}} by a bot. If the file is within the public domain, then there's no need for a non-free license or a non-free use rationale. You can use Template:Information instead to provide information about the image and the file should be moved to Wikimedia Commons. At the same time, if the file is not PD, then it needs to be licensed as non-free and PD-FLGOV cannot be used; in such a case I suggest using {{Non-free biog pic}} for the license and {{Non-free use rationale biog}} for the non-free use rationale. If you're not sure whether the file is non-free or PD, you might want to ask at WP:MCQ or even c:COM:VPC to see what some others think. Moreover, the People magazine article you're giving as the source for the image isn't really the original source of the image and it's unlikely that Splash News Online is as the original source as well; so, it would be better to use a source which actually credits the "Pinellas County Jail" as the source of the image. -- Marchjuly (talk) 15:08, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Marchjuly: Thanks much for the message. I will see if I can navigate this advice. If You have a fast way to help me update the information to what you feel is appropriate - that may be the most expedient. Lightburst (talk) 15:19, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
