Speedy deletion nomination of File:Tortosa2.JPG

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
 

A tag has been placed on File:Tortosa2.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A question?

Latest comment: 11 years ago5 comments3 people in discussion

Hi Mediran, the article tuna is vandalized so many times. Why is that? Hz. tiang 05:21, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey Hz.tiang, SLT. We really don't know why people is vandalizing pages. There many reasons such as just messing up or just to have attention and the like. But I see that 2001:5b0:28ff:ef0::3b, the recent vandal in the article, is already blocked and no other problems to be worried about. If the case persists with other editors involve, you can report it at WP:RPP. Thanks, Mediran (t • c) 05:33, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) Wikipedia:The motivation of a vandal is an interesting essay about vandals' motivation. The Anonymouse (talk | contribs) 05:45, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
That works too. That essay tells why vandals are just being vandals. Thanks Anonymouse for that response. Mediran (t • c) 05:49, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

The Mercer Hotel

Latest comment: 11 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Mediran,

I am the creator of The Mercer Hotel page, and I was wondering if you know how to get ride of the deletion tags at the top of the page? The page was nominated for deletion but after discussion the consensus was to keep the page. Now that the page is going to be kept, how do I get rid of the deletion notice? Please message me back.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurenyoungprc (talk • contribs) 19:54, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello Laurenyoungprc! I already closed its AfD nomination and I've also removed the tag in the article almost 2 months ago. (here's the diff) Thanks, Mediran (t • c) 04:30, 26 March 2013 (UTC)


Thank you for the quick response.

Is there a way to get rid of the orange box at the top of the page? I don't think I am able to access the tags to remove the box because they are in a hidden category. Please let me know if you can get rid of those boxes.

Best,

Laurenyoungprc

Those boxes are clean up tags which means it's like a banner to let editors to know that a certain article has issues and problems in accordance of any of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. You can't get that boxes away unless if the issues are resolved. If the tags are still effective, don't get rid of it. I see that it have point of view issues. If you want to remove those tags, please rewrite to from a neutral point of view and must not appear like an advertisement. Neutrality must be observed. Thanks, Mediran (t • c) 06:01, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

about the deletion of my page

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Warm Christian greeting!

Hello and hope that along with this message you are in the pinkest of health. I checked my page just now and it seems that again my page has been deleted. If I may have done something out of the ordinary please do kindly delete the page instead of it appearing as the page has been deleted. I joined in good faith as I can see that some of the schools that i also checked here i.e THE FISHER VALLEY COLLEGE and REEDLEY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL has the same content maybe more of what i did here. But i take no offense for that maybe im just on the wrong place somwhere. Just please do so delete the page at all so that it may not leave a mark instead that it will say the page is deleted coz of ambiguous content. My client might think the school may have done some kind of copyright infringement or anything. If theres some way that i myself can delete the page kindly assist me in doing so...still new and i dunno my way around.

Thanks for the consideration...i will wait for a considerable reply from you, greatly appreciated.

Hey! Wow, those are kind words. Anyway, your page was deleted because it violates WP:PROMOTION. Promotion, spamming, advertising or any other things related to such is strictly discouraged in Wikipedia and please be reminded of that. Nevertheless, you have said that you want to delete a page if ever and if it will be deleted, it must not have leave any marks that it was deleted. Unfortunately, that will not likely happen. Pages are deleted by what we call as administrators, only them can delete pages. Furthermore, for the deletion marks, that is called as "deletion log". Deletion logs are automatically generated when a page is deleted. That serves as a reference for past activities that was done in the page. If you want to delete your user page, tag it instead with {{db-u1}}.
Also, concerning your username, it violates WP:ORGNAME of Wikipedia's username policy. Please have a username that only represents your editing in your behalf. You can resolve this by requesting a username change at WP:RENAME or just by creating a new account at Special:UserLogin/signup. If you have relevant questions, don't hesitate to ask.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 2

Latest comment: 11 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Mediran, I saw your last edit at The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 2, specifically this one and I was hoping to get some edification on why rumor would belong in an article about a upcoming movie, about which little is known. I'm not quite sure how the NickAlive blog counts as a reliable source, but even if it does, how can we endorse rumor if WP:CRYSTAL states: "Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content"? I deleted the CGI rumor a couple of days ago, so its re-inclusion without explanation is confusing. Salamat! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:20, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

I'll remove it if that's the case. BTW, I added such for further knowledge about the subject but it seems that it's against to our policies. Thanks though. Mediran (t • c) 05:03, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I believe that article has been heavily-influenced by hoaxsters and kids who are just trying to "get the scoop" on the latest information. Since Wikipedia isn't a breaking news source, we're in no hurry to get details about this movie, so we needn't rush to submit every piece of information that we find. You've made some strong contributions to the article, and I hope we can continue to work together to get a good article going here.  :) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:33, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I am trying to begin a religion and make it seem more legit to gain new followers by making it a page on this site. I do not understand why you voted for it to be deleted. It is a real religion because it has followers and the first amendment allows us to practice whatever we feel. To vote this as spam is disrespectful and rude. I am not trying to spam anyone or make up stories. Thank You — Preceding unsigned comment added by ACMentor (talk • contribs) 00:56, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply. Anyway, hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Your page was deleted a while ago for it was a hoax for it has no Google hits or it really doesn't exist in any published works that is searchable. Back to the concern, unfortunately, Wikipedia is not a site for that. Wikipedia is not a saopbox or means of any promotion. If that article exists just only "to gain new followers", then it will be deleted. Promotions are strictly discouraged. Also, Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. As what your comment implied, you're trying to begin a religion which of course, started by you or someone. "Wikipedia is not a place to publish your own thoughts and analyses or to publish new information." Please visit WP:GNG, WP:V, WP:NOT, WP:ADVERT, WP:MADEUP for further information. Also, if you want, you can consider to use the Article wizard on starting new articles or you may also use a draft. Thanks and happy editing! Mediran (t • c) 04:34, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

User WikiPPC

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello Mediran,

I just created the user, WikiPPC, to create an informative article about Plaza Provision Company. I've seen other companies such as Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson with an article page, and thought I'd write about this company. It is notable in the Caribbean for being the top distributor of provisional goods in Puerto Rico. It has over 100 years of rich corporate history and has contributed greatly in PR's economy. I thought it was interesting enough to write about. I'm not 100% sure if I wrote something inappropiate enough to be considered as spam or advertising and would greatly appreciate the page be modified instead of it being deleted.

Please help,

WikiPPC

SLR. Hi WikiPPC and welcome to Wikipedia! Anyway, there is nothing really wrong in creating pages in Wikipedia about companies or organizations. However, there is a chance that it would be spammy or something that is promoting. Your page was deleted under the CSD criterion of G11 because it is like an advertisement. Advertisements are strictly discouraged here in Wikipedia. Articles like what you have mentioned exists in this wiki for they are notable enough and they are written in a neutral point of view. Neutrality in tone must be observed and there should be no any bias statements.
Also, in regards of your username, I'm seeing a little of conflict of interest for your chosen username "WikiPPC" resembles a little of your company name "Plaza Provision Company". If you want, you can consider to request a username change at WP:RENAME or you may just create a new account with a username that only represents your behalf as an individual. Please visit WP:CORP, WP:POV, WP:ADVERT or WP:SOAP, WP:COI and WP:U for further information. Thanks and hope this helps. Mediran (t • c) 23:45, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Waterbed

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello Mediran

A while ago you unfortunately undid my editing on Wikipedia about waterbeds. As I felt that the people who have left there wisdom about waterbeds where wrong, and misleading our potential customers. The advantages are right but in the disadvantage section leaves a lot to be desired and can be very misleading. They certainly do not cost alot to heat a waterbed, especially with the new carbon fibre heating element for waterbeds.(This is just one example leaks and belt buckles are others) I was simply trying to delete some wrongs against waterbeds and introduce unbiased comments. Because of what I think is a very small attack on waterbeds by Wikipedia and the fact that Wikipedia gets upto number 1 or 2 on google our potential customers are reading all those comments and believing them. Thus it has crippled this industry. Regards Adam — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.221.100 (talk) 16:42, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Just to be clear, since you find really good nominations, and I don't want to scare you off: I don't like cropped lithographs/engravings, but I'm not fanatical about this; If it's not excessively cropped (like the original of the Manhattan image) I'll not oppose unless the Encyclopedic value depends on the full image being present (like, if it was being presented as having primary EV on the lithographic studio's page), or, as in this case, I'm looking at a better scan right that instant, and can link to it. =) Please nominate more!

Regarding User:FGuerino:subpage for IF4IT

Latest comment: 10 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Hello Mediran,

Earlier today (US Eastern time) you and admin JimfBleak deleted my draft article from my work-in-progress subpage. Jim was kind enough to work with me to get me back to a point where I can work within WP policies and guidelines and I've started to do so. As a result, I've begun rewriting, reorganizing, and reformatting my content and was hoping you could take a look and please let me know if I'm moving in the correct direction.

Please note that I used a number of existing pages, such as those from large companies like Oracle Corporation, IBM, and Ford as well as those from some smaller companies, such as Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, Cornerstone (Agency), and TechAmerica as baselines and guidelines for doing so (on the assumption that they seem to be acceptable).

If there are any issues, please let me know and I'll be more than happy to address.

My Best,

Frank --FGuerino (talk) 21:02, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Frank! That page looks better especially with the disclaimer above. If you're planning to publish it to the article namespace, I would like to suggest you (if ever because I see that it's still empty) to rewrite the section "Mission, Vision, and Goals" from a neutral point of view as because most Mission and vision statements are promotional. Probably, you can add the company's future goals or plans to its history section or something. Also, you can search sources for it to be verifiable per WP:V to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines about companies or organizations. So far, there are no any harmful issues to mind but when there is verifiable reliable sources, it will survive once you've published it. Also, thank you for being a good sport and I sure hope the best for your article and to you. Thanks. :) Mediran (t • c) 02:41, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Mediran,
Thanks for the feedback. If you don't mind, I have some follow up questions...
Regarding the Vision, Mission, and Goals section... I'm still not sure that I want to keep it in the article. However, should I decide to keep it, I will definitely fill it in and ask for reviews before any publication, as I will for all sections. Your thoughts... Is it better to keep or omit a section like this?
Regarding notable sources... I've included some references in the section called Market Sectors and Industries. Currently they are not formatted as citable references or integrated into narrative article text but, before I take the time to make such changes, could I impose on you to please take a look at them and let me know if you think there are any issues with them?
Thanks, very much, for taking the time to help me. I'm very grateful.
My Best,
Frank --FGuerino (talk) 03:12, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi again Frank! It's better to simply remove the "mission, vi... " section since it's not necessary at all, though you can decide since for the better. As for those sources, it must have mentioned your subject. Its sources must include articles or news articles about the company, its effects or contributions, or some other else. Also, those adverbs like "so" or "too" must be removed because it is somewhat bias in tone, the article must be encyclopedic because this website is an online encyclopedia. Thanks.

User FGuerino assistance with IF4IT organization page

Latest comment: 10 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Mediran,

I followed your recommendations and eliminated the Vision, Mission, and Goals section, as I thought your assessment made sense. I also eliminated the use of the words "so" and "too", as you recommended. I'm now at the point where I spent some time developing narrative text to integrate notable and verifiable references. The result was the rewriting of the History section and the Market segments and industries section. Would it be possible for you to please review the sections and give me your feedback on whether or not I did so in a manner that follows policies and makes sense for readers? I'm in no rush so whenever you get a chance would be fine.

Thanks, again, for your help.

Frank --FGuerino (talk) 19:52, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi again. Anyway, I know you are a good editor and has good intentions to submit your work but I simply don't feel it's notable. I've searched it on Google News and other search engine. Unfortunately, however, there are no articles or something that will make the institution such. I see that the company is just new for it was founded only 3 years ago. If it's really notable, please add some mentions or articles solely about it.
For the sources, it's not much verifiable. I've browsed some of the sources given and I was navigated to a glossary, a search engine of an NJ site, a document-sharing site, etc. The history section is more of an original research rather than a history that's supported and claimed by verifiable and reliable sources. Also, the style of writing/formatting isn't in its best. Please visit WP:ORG, WP:V, WP:RS, WP:OR, WP:MOS for further information. Hope this helps. Thanks. Mediran (t • c) 02:25, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Mediran,
Thanks, again, for the help and the feedback. I'm definitely trying to work on things like my writing style. Some things I'd like to discuss, regarding your feedback...
  1. I'd like to point out that, in order to verify a source, people sometimes actually have to dig a little deeper than clicking a link. Please understand that I am not criticizing but simply trying to make a point when I say that I believe your going to a very accessible, State published, database search page and not putting in a search string, or your going to a web location for a document and not creating a free registration to gain access to and read that document, is very much like walking up to the front steps of a library and saying that a specific book in that library does not exist because you refused to walk into the library and search for it using its card catalog. Many legally legitimate and highly notable reference publishers, used throughout Wikipedia, use publishing sources that require membership, subscription, and even fees to access the material. Examples include organizations like the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for engineers, the Harvard Review for business leaders, and countless medical research publishers for medical practitioners. My point is simply that, sometimes, people have to do more than just click on a link and expect to automatically verify a reference. In any event, in order to make it even easier for readers to access the material, I've added an explicit note, within the footnote, leaving detailed instructions to help readers understand exactly how to access the legal records.
  2. I'd also like to better understand your statements about what is or is not a notable reference. You mention that did things like use Google News and other search engines to find information. Please know that all references were found through Google and also checked for availability through Bing. Apparently, it took some digging, as there were many pages to sift through but all sources were available, as is evidenced by their links. So, again, it really sound like an issue of how willing you were to dig. I believe references, as footnotes at the bottom of a page, exist to help eliminate such digging, as it's the author's responsibility to do the heavier research, right?
By the way, I visited all the Wikipedia pages you mentioned (printed and read through each) and not one of them had anything that discounted any single one of the article's references as being not notable or viable. If you believe otherwise, could you please help by pointing to something very specific on any of those pages that makes it clear that my references are not suitable?
I believe you will not find anything specific because notability does not just come from having someone publish an article about the company but also comes from someone publicly referencing your company, even through use. For example, a United States federal public agency references us for material that they published. They don't write about the company. They reference it as their notable source and as a foundation for what they publish to the entire world for use. What better notability can any company possibly have?
Anyhow, I appreciate your time and help. I feel like I'm learning a lot about what it really means to be a good journalist. Please know that I'm very patient and in no rush. I'll take my time and just keep improving the article. If what you believe to be the right types of notable references don't exist, today, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they do.
My Best,
Frank --FGuerino (talk) 17:02, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Frank! Sorry for the late reply. Again, thank you for your response. Well, the draft looks better now compare to my last visit. Now, there's nothing bad about the sources but it would be better if the sources would be direct or something. That's the reason why we have this online encyclopedia, to make it easier, it's none of the responsibility of the reader to browse for sources. Another thing, I'm not really a good digger but I'm sure you are for having those claims. If there are more, please add it. Also, the only Wikipedia policies I've listed above that talks about sources is WP:V, WP:RS, for the notability is WP:ORG. Hope this helps. Thanks! ;) Mediran (t • c) 01:30, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

I have Huggle up and running. I could use your help understanding how to use it. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:06, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

That's great! The interface is simple. So what specific "thing" you want to know about? Mediran (t • c) 00:10, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
I've since found the manual, so that answers some of my questions. How would you recommend I use it? When I've used Lupin's anti-vandal tool, it's giving me results based on the dirty word list. Lupin's tool is just a matter of looking at diffs based on how the list is triggered and on which articles. With Huggle, the buttons seem clear enough but what should I be looking for in the queue on the left? Just edits by anonymous editors? How do you make use of the editor and article history boxes at the top right?
On another note, I was able to download STiki but I can't get it to install... the whole method of unzipping is confusing. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:39, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
For me, Huggle is better than Lupin's because Lupin is confusing me. I would recommend Huggle to you since the data it's giving is "real-time" and is updating new pages to review and revert if there are some unnecessary additions made by IPs. The queue on the left side are those filtered edits, no, the queue includes edits by anyone. You can change the queue by choosing any options in the drop-down list. You can make use of the history above as a reference to see if the article was previously vandalized and the edit was reverted, and the contribs as a reference to the previous edits made by a user. Mediran (t • c) 00:48, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Howdy- I wanted to let you know that I am taking on your GA review for Spongebob Squarepants. I am very excited to get started and I will probably begin writing feedback today or tomorrow. Thank you very much for the contributions you already made. You can find my review here. PrairieKid (talk) 02:53, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Haha.... thanks PrairieKid! Although I have already replied on the review page, I will also thank you here for notifying me on the review. Also, thank you for those kind words you said. I hope the article's quality is enough to meet the GA criteria. Thanks and have a nice day! :) Mediran (t • c) 12:01, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Abraham Lincoln, as Presidential Candidate in 1860

One problem with this file is that it's not a particularly young Abraham Lincoln. It's from 1860, but it often appears in article sections about the 1830s. What should we do? Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:09, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

We can just fix this issue by moving it to other sections where its timeline is. Also, we should also rename this file to something that's not having "young" since it was taken in the 1860. Mediran (t • c) 23:51, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Renamed. Do you want to nominate this? It was originally yours; just took longer than I thought it would to fix it. =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 09:15, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
I see that's it was already renamed! Great! I've already !voted at its nomination page. Mediran (t • c) 09:51, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Just to note, an alternate crop is now available. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:42, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

A beer for you!

  Thank you for your help in getting Spongebob Squarepants up to the GA level. I see good prospects for that article and hope to see it as "Today's Featured Article" real soon. Have a great summer!

(I hope you'll appreciate the irony of the beer, as both of us are underage.) PrairieKid (talk) 21:43, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Haha.... It's my pleasure! Thanks for reviewing and passing the article to GA! I'm also hoping for the article's debut at the Main Page. Thanks again and have a nice day! :) Mediran (t • c) 10:02, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Spongebob Peer Review

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Howdy- I saw that you put Spongebob Squarepants up for Peer Review. When you put an article up for peer review, you have to select a subtopic and create a page where you explain why you're placing the article up for peer review. I am guessing that you are trying to bring the article to FA status and I would love to help guide you along that process, and contribute to that review. I'll be looking for that review. Have a good one. PrairieKid (talk) 04:38, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

I've done that hours ago but I the archive number added at the talk page was 4. I've fixed it already. BTW, I would like to thank you for putting SBSP to GA and I sure hope it will reach FA. Thanks again! :) Mediran (t • c) 10:10, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Spongebob Movie 2 - Infobox

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Mediran, I noticed this edit at The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 2. I think "Written by" might be the appropriate field for that infobox instead of "Screenplay by", since the description at Template:Infobox film#Parameters seems to prefer the former unless there are separate credits for story writer(s). We don't quite have enough info yet to anticipate separate credits. What do you think? Thought I'd drop you a line instead of reverting it, out of friendly respect for all the solid edits you make. :) Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 13:46, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Cyphoidbomb! Thank you for that but it was announced already that they will write the story. Hence, they are the film's screenwriter. You are free to change what I did if you think the previous field is more appropriate. Thanks! :) Mediran (t • c) 11:52, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi 27.251.60.34! Thanks for your contributions. Unfortunately, I have never edited that page and I have never reverted/deleted your edit on that article. However, as an answer to your question on why was your edit deleted, your revision was removed because it was gibberish. It may be misunderstood by the bot. Also, it was unsourced, and you have also added an email address where you're endorsing yourself to others for them to ask you for further information regarding the subject. There's really nothing wrong about what you've done. Remember that just put info that are encyclopedic and helpful. Thanks :) Mediran (t • c) 10:31, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
