Michael Petrelis

Thanks for reading my start at a Michael Petrelis article. I had been working on additional sections based on the research I have done on the subject, but that version was far too expansive, and, as another editor correctly advised, the early sections I drafted had strayed from topic and perhaps relied too heavily on Petrelis' interview with ACT UP Oral History Project. So, now I'm preparing to try again to expand it, with sections. My first question, then, concerns how wikipedia distinguishes between interviews like those in the ACT UP Oral History Project, obviously not a third party reliable source, and those imbedded in print magazine articles: Is content written by a third party -- a journalist -- to introduce or frame such an "interview" considered a reliable third party source? I appreciate any feedback you could offer.Malcom Gregory Scott (talk) 19:36, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Help on Livia Firth

Hello! Thank you for the edits you've made on Livia Firth's page. I'm still trying to improve it and add lots of materials. Anyway, I was working on putting an external link of her IMDB profile on her page but there seems to be a problem. She has two IMDB profiles, one with her maiden name as Livia Giuggioli and her current name Livia Firth. Should I link to both? Thanks!GreenEcoFashion (talk) 13:34, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

List of Fashion Designers

Hello Malabu, I saw you moved José Eisenberg to Romania in the List of fashion designers. I understand that you moved it because of the birth place. I wrote the birth place because an article said that he spent his childhood in Romania, so I assumed he would have been born in Romania (that was wrong on my part). But I have read that he is an Italian, by nationality. That's why the article said, "Eisenberg is an Italian..." So I guess he would have been born in Italy - again I am not sure. I have removed the birth place from the article. As for the birth place, should we move him to Italy or not? ThanksMuhammad Ali Khalid (talk) 13:57, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that's reasonable, please move it back and if something comes up showing otherwise, we can move it back. :) Mabalu (talk) 14:04, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Will move it. Thanks! Muhammad Ali Khalid (talk) 14:10, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Vladislav III and Radu Ilias

Thank you, Mabalu, for adding Vladislav III and Radu Ilias to Category:Stubs. However, there are a couple things you should note:

  1. You should always try to find the most appropriate stub category to place an article in.
  2. You must always place {{Stub}} at the far bottom of the article below any navigational templates and all the categories.

Clone200 (talk) 20:36, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Clone200 - welcome to Wikipedia as I see you're quite new here! Thanks for the advice, but I usually just add stubs using the curation tool, as it's easier that way, or pop it in when adding new categories. Having been editing since 2008, I prefer to leave stub-sorting to the people with a better knowledge of stubs as whenever I've tried to insert more specific stubs, I always get the code wrong. If they develop a tool that can sort stubs in the same way that it's possible to sort categories while inputting them, then I'd be all for that. Mabalu (talk) 22:17, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Completely understood. Clone200 (talk) 13:18, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

About Andrea Talmelli-Article already deleted

Hey, dear Mabalu!

The removal rate does not match the degree of my violation. I think that is not enough people to want to highlight the work of the living people in this approach to the speed of removal. Today I went accidentally Wiki. And the article is already recognized as invalid. Suffered in fact, only Andrea Talmelli. And who else? He is the living author, and he needs information about his musical works (until yet living!). I wanted to remind people about the wonderful modest and very talented composer. Did not work. Let people "eat" the Internet trash, if a serious publication Wiki does not want to publish the truth about the talents. I copiright not appropriated and I made only a private opinion about the origin of a Biography about Talmelli. Who will write about contemporary, if he himself does not care? You gave me no time to improve the article. Let other people write, but they are unlikely to appear. I also wrote removed article just because I love good music. As one by Andrea Talmelli.

Thank You for Your attention. Sorry for the bad English. But my intentions were pure ones. Best Regards.AniteSpike (talk) 18:06, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I'm afraid that the deletion was based on a very strict Wikipedia policy about copyright violation. Even had the article been edited in time to resolve the copyvio, the original edits which introduced the copyvio technically should've been deleted. If you are so inclined, there is a undeletion requesting process, BUT because the evidence was so strong that it had been copied and pasted (indeed, you told us that you had done so!) and because of that aforementioned Wikipedia policy, I don't think it will be undeleted. I hope that there will be an article on Andrea Talmelli soon, because he is an eligible subject, but the way the article was originally created was not how to go about it.

Some baklava for you!

  Thank you so much for your precious suggestions, your points will definately help me to learn more about the wikipedia editorial part. Lesliechang (talk) 10:29, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
