Course language is generally frowned upon in discussions, and that user looks to have been having a bad day. I'd just ignore it. The whole pseudoscience area is fraught with angry debates; it's sort of par for the course over there (partly why I never have much interest). It's unfortunate, but do your best to be cool and you've already improved the situation.

Very cool. I remember some of the images from the 2010 mudslide, wish I could have seen some of the damage firsthand. Did a quick copyedit, not much there to fix! Only quibble - the caption for the Bridge River Vent photo mentions an "inverted V" which I can't really pick out. (maybe Photoshop a little black arrow in there?) Also uses the phrase "forested valley fill" which is a bit confusing. Overall, great work! Gotta get up there sometime.

Alright. I might nominate it after I create some "subarticles" for Meager. I have been creating articles for Meager's rock units (e.g. Plinth Assemblage, Job Assemblage, The Devastator Assemblage, Mosaic Assemblage) to link in the article.

Hiya The Interior - when you get a spare minute please go see County Surveyor - I managed to get my thoughts down in writing tidy, so I copied and pasted it into County Surveyor and tidied it a little bit more in there.

I still have to write a section on where freemasonry fits in, but will do that quietly in my drafting page where I won't upset anybody.

They should have left an edit summary to explain what they were doing. I'd support his or her edit for a couple reasons. Amazon's reviews are user-submitted, so they're not ideal for Wikipedia. Also, stating that it got favourable reviews on its own falls afoul of WP:PUFFERY. It would be better to give a more in-depth summary of a review, i.e. what the reviewer liked/didn't like. Did you check out the Astronomy Now review I linked on the Discussion page? It's probably more useful than the Amazon reviews (and would help to get the "notability" tag removed).

I'm unsure of how I did not provide a reliable source...while some of the links do not specify the name "Brian Penny" in them, I cited http://www.foxbusiness.com/industries/2011/03/15/anonymous-perplexing-leak-bank-america-documents-wsj/ which as a legitimate news source, named Brian Penny in paragraph 6 of their article. If you would like, I can provide further reliable sources such as the Wall Street Journal and International Business Times which also cite Brian Penny, some even including a picture.

See the notability guideline for people here: WP:PEOPLE. The sourcing needs to be about the individual, and not just a passing mention. The article you provided above is about a leak, not about Penny himself. This is a borderline prod, and if you can provide something stronger I'll remove it.

First off, sorry, I deleted the tag again. I'm really new to this. I apologize for my ignorance. The source material is utilized in regards to the event being discussed where it is being cited. I guess I'm not understanding how that works. From my perspective, the source article does state more than just a name in passing. It discusses a project that Brian Penny worked on. I will update with more sources, however I feel that just because the article focuses on the corporation Bank of America as they are the headline grabber does not mean that the contribution was not there. It's like saying that the loser of the Superbowl was never there since the article the next day is only about the winner.

No worries. I've changed the proposed deletion to a proper Articles for Deletion discussion, which will allow other editors to give their opinions. We just need a bit more substantial coverage, I'm afraid. What you've given would make a great back-up ref, but the article can't stand on that alone. If you can find something with good coverage about Penny himself, we can keep the article. Another option is to have the article moved into your own userspace where it can be worked on as a draft until better sources are found.

Hey The Interior - I was looking through the BoLP noticeboard and reading a few of the threads on there. I'm looking to get back into writing Wikipedia pages and noticed that you're a fan of Flight of the Conchords (rightly so, as they're awesome). I think their page could use a little work -- wanted to see if you have any suggestions before I get started.

Hey Svernon. Always good to hear from people with good taste. The article's not in terrible shape, but from a quick look, here's what I can see for issues. The "Appearances" section is more or less a laundry list. For an entertainer, its a weird section. Imagine if band articles had "gig" sections. They would get pretty long. So I think most of the content in that section could be whittled down and re-written as "Early career" or the like. Also, too much of the sourcing is primary, i.e. their website, HBO's website, YouTube clips (grrr...). FOTC has reached a level of prominence where there's sure to be some good third-party profiles/long articles. So maybe that would be a first step, finding some in-depth coverage.

I'm pretty busy with school right now, but I'd love to help you out if you're going to make a stab at cleaning it up. We could even think about Good articleness.

A user called Fred Braches has created a page called Slumach and another page called Pitt Lake gold find. On Fred Braches talk page he states that he has a slumach website. The articles Slumach and Pitt Lake gold find links directly to his website. Fred Braches is using the articles to advertise his website. Is this a conflict of interest. His website is located on the external links section of Slumach and Pitt Lake gold find. Do we need two articles about the same thing?

The main page on Wikipedia policy/guidelines on external links is Wikipedia:External links. That website, http://www.slumach.ca/ , seems rather benign. It doesn't appear like anything is being sold, there's no ads. It does list various sources of information (without linking or selling), which seems useful. I don't really know where the line between acceptable and unacceptable external links lies though. Still, it isn't clear what benefit this guy would get from having more people visit his website, given that there's no ads or spam or stuff being sold. So I'm not sure any harm is being done (although I did not fully explore the whole site). There's another page on "conflict of interest", called, of course, Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Both WP:EL and WP:COI list "promoting personal websites" as something to be avoided, and I suppose one could justify removing those slumach links on this basis. But from what I've seen, the real concern with external links is links to pages that sell stuff, have ads, are not very useful, etc. ...just some thoughts.

Oh, and The Interior, I hope you don't mind my talk page stalking--I like having pages I've edited automatically watchlisted, although with talk pages it can result in "TPS", especially when I'm too lazy to unwatch pages.

This discussion is illuminating: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Slumach. I'd agree with Pfly that this isn't the bad sort of COI. From what I can see, the author has declared his COI, and has been working with other editors. His website does advertise his book, but also is a great resource in itself. It's complicated in a situation like this because the COI author may well be the best source out there for this topic. Your choice of adding the cleanup tags was correct in my view, these don't seem to be glaringly deletable.

To be honest, i think some particular users are really antagonistic towards me in general. Even if E-sports is not included under sports, the sources i have provided should be able to satisfy the GNG.

Sorry for the difficulty to follow my posts. This is a summary of the arguments on GNG.

• Salvidrim stated that gosugamers.net/sgamer.com/178.com and others are unreliable sources due to them being focused on a few games and therefore should be considered as "fansites".
• Salvidrim then compared it to sports:
  • Covering sports at large would be akin to covering entertainment at large
  • Covering a single sport (hockey, volleyball, baseball) would be akin to covering a single type of entertainment (movies, music, gaming)
  • Covering a single sports team would be akin to covering a single video game (it is likely if you devote time and effort covering that topic, you're either fan or a detractor, thus not neutral or disinterested).
  • He would not consider a website about (for example) the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators to assess notability for any individual players, but a site covering hockey would perhaps be able to assess such notability.
• Redefining History noted this as a bad argument, in his opinion
  • Covering sports at large would be akin to covering e-sports at large
  • Covering a single sport (hockey, volleyball, baseball) would be akin to covering a single type of game (dota, starcraft, cs)
  • Covering a single sports team would be akin to covering a single e-sports team
  • He would not consider a website about (for example) Moscow Five and Natus Vincere to assess notability for any individual player, however a site covering dota (gosugamers and others) would perhaps be able to assess such notability.
• Redefining History offered an explanation for GosuGamers.
• Redefining History asked help from the IRC, in which they replied that the alexa ratings should be referred to. It seems that Gosugamers is reputable and reliable enough.
• Thus he requested source checking on the following sites:

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/prodota.ru

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/pchome.net

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/mymym.com

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/178.com

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/gosugamers.net

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/sgamer.com

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/replays.net

• Any opinions?

So whats your opinion on this? I feel that it satisfies as reliable.

Hey RH. First, I am bit more familiar with competitive gaming culture than most editors because I've been recently helping a friend research a doc on gaming. I've seen the insane fans and the physical extremes that gamers go through, also the huge stadium events in S. Korea. The cable TV stations devoted to 24-hour coverage of Starcraft events leads me to think that there is a high level of coverage in Korean sources, I don't read Korean so I can't verify this. So I'm a bit more inclined to support a specific notability threshold for gamers.

But these things need input from a wide base of editors, and should never be undertaken to "save" specific articles up for deletion. I'm not going to comment over at the guideline talk anymore, I'm a bit too busy with other things to devote a lot of time to this, I'm sorry.

Re: your sources - Now, I really do support using some "fan pages" for more obscure topics, but they have to be awesome fan pages. We're talking high quality info, not re-warmed press releases. Which is mostly what I'm seeing. There are higher level gaming publications out there, with named writers and editors and such. You should be scouring those. Talk to the people at the Video Games Wikiproject about what are good e-sports sources for wikipedia. And other language sources as well, if a newspaper or magazine in the person's home country is considered reliable, it can used.

And posting etiquette - please no more with the long copy-paste posts (especially the IRC logs). A good discussion on WP happens when people summarize what they're trying to say. (and post at reasonable intervals!) It's the too long didnt read syndrome, we're all volunteers here, and noone wants to give up half an hour to figure what's going on in a talkpage thread.

My two cents (since you asked for it!)

I would clarify that Korean sources are for Starcraft, as it is the main game played there. However, what i am talking about is DotA, so there probably aren'y any Koren sources for it. I am really disappointed that people list GosuGamers as a fansite as it works the same way as Goal.com (perhaps the discrimination between esports and football?)

These sites are the only ones giving live coverage/having journalists and editors over at the competitions to cover them, and offers the latest news as soon as they are made known to the public (e.g. even fresh news from interviews of the players themselves).

Excellent addition, FIP. Covered the topic well. Only gripe would be the sourcing, I notice you've used a couple refs as "examples". For a wide topic like this, secondary sources are preferable to primary "proof". See WP:PRIMARY for tips on primary sourcing. Also, you can use the "templates" option in the edit window to format your refs, otherwise they show up as bare urls. All in all, though, great first effort and an improvement to the page.

Hey Rob, no offense, but as my !vote was a neutral, I don't think a lot of documentation is necessary. I don't want to argue with you on the RFA page, so I think I'll just let my comment stand. My position was based on a quick survey of his top edited Talk pages, specifically Barack Obama and Same-sex marriage, the diffs he provided in Q.10, and my personal experience working with him during the User:Babasalichai business last spring. I respect that you feel differently, but I don't want to get in heated debate on the RFA page. The tone of recent RFA's is indicative of why there are so few people volunteering for the bit.

- Hi - The talkpage history of Same-sex marriage - there is nothing there at all that asserts any qualification for advanced permissions - User Dayewalker has one minor comment to that talkpage in the last eighteen months ? They have this one edit to this talkpage in a year and a half ? Please explain? Nothing that could be described as dispute moderation - involving User Dayewalker. I am open to have missed something? "there are so few people volunteering for the bit" - is another discussion. In the last year he has three minor comments , to Talk:Barack_Obama - minor comments completely nothing that would qualify as per your description of "dispute moderation" - three minor comments in the last year? and a couple of reverts in the last year? - Off2riorob (talk) 19:41, 4 November 2011 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-11-04T19:41:00.000Z","author":"Off2riorob","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Off2riorob-2011-11-04T19:41:00.000Z-The_Interior-2011-11-04T18:34:00.000Z","replies":["c-The_Interior-2011-11-04T23:42:00.000Z-Off2riorob-2011-11-04T19:41:00.000Z"]}}-->

Yeah, most of his work on the two talk pages I mentioned goes back to 2010. I checked out Talk:Barack Obama/Archive 69, it has some good comments by the user to keep a discussion on track. Talk:Same-sex marriage/Archive 15#"gay marriage" also has some good comments and the settlement of an edit war. Are these posts slam-dunk arguments as to why DW should be an admin? Not at all. But they do demonstrate policy knowledge and an emphasis on discussion, which in my mind are important qualities for administrators, that's why I look at talk page posts when doing an RFA eval. Perhaps now that you have demanded diffs of me, you could present some which illustrate why I am so off-base on my evaluation. Or not. It's a neutral !vote we are arguing here!

• In over three years of contributing these are the total posts of User Dayewalker to Talk:Same-sex marriage - in over three years - nothing of investigative value at all - or as you claimed are examples of his abilities of his "dispute moderation" abilities. It seems you think two edits in passing commentary in the space of three years is a notable thing. I would prefer it if you clarified your comment that you have no diffs of any noteworthy "dispute moderation" that this user has been involved and contributed to .

What we have now ("often called gay marriage") is fine. That's the overwhelming circumstance, the situations 140 describes above would be rare occasions, and we shouldn't clutter the lead with fringe statements. Dayewalker (talk) 10:25 pm, 5 December 2009, Saturday (1 year, 10 months, 30 days ago) (UTC+0) - Just as a note here, I came back to the page and found that my comment above seemed to be taken as an excuse to declare consensus and edit war, I assure you I meant nothing of the sort. I find 140's arguments fringe viewpoints at best, and I think the article was fine equating the term with gay marriage, as was the consensus before he arrived. Dayewalker (talk) 6:19 am, 6 December 2009, Sunday (1 year, 10 months, 30 days ago) (UTC+0) - Agree with NatGertler above, consensus is overwhelmingly against you. Please stop edit warring on the article page, and continue the discussion here. Dayewalker (talk) 7:50 pm, 8 December 2009, Tuesday (1 year, 10 months, 27 days ago) (UTC+0) - Gay Marriage, Retstated - I'm starting a new section, as the above discussion has degenerated into a wall of text where it seems an anonymous editor using multiple IPs is trying to change the current consensus about using the term "gay marriage" in the lead. For clarity's sake, I'm bringing the new discussion here to a subheading. - My main question is simple, are there any other editors who agree with the IP that the term shouldn't be used here? Glancing above, I don't see any other questions to the consensus but if there are, I'd love to discuss the matter here.

Rob, I'm not going to get into an argument over semantics with you. The posts you have copy-pasted here would meet my definition of a dispute being moderated (i.e. made less combative), but, YMMV. (Ha! I actually used YMMV in a post) I'm not sure how productive this discussion is, though.

I have moderated over a thousand discussions then. That is not moderation - it is three or four non noteworthy talkpge posts from twenty months ago.

False comments in discussions are worth discussing and clarifying - the User:Dayewalker has got no "dispute moderation" in his edit history at all . He has got no content additions at all - his non admin closures at all nothing that says he has any experience worthy of supporting his promotion as an administrator - His recent worthless attacks on me is the reason I am not contributing - users like that, they don't add any content and they upset content contributors so they leave.

"His recent worthless attacks on me is the reason I am not contributing" is exactly why you need to step away, now. You're coming off as hounding an editor for expressing their opinion via a neutral comment in an open forum. It's unbecoming; please stop as the Interior has requested you to do.
