Dear Larry —

I did not create this page but I am the subject of this page.

I check in occassionly to make sure the information is updated and correct. I’m not the adminustrator of this page, but if I can’t correct or update information about myself for the sake of accuracy then what’s the point?

This page has been there as long as I can remember. I am a prominemt public figure in the New York Theatre community. One click of a google seatch will bring up numerous articles and reviews about any play, musical, film, TV show or job mentioned. There are thousands of references all over the internet, including IMDB and IBDB.

The Wikipedia link is the first that will show up when doing an internet search for information about me. And now my entire history, a career that spans 55 years, keeps getting deleted as if it were fiction. This accurate detailed page has been reduced to a two sentence soundbite. This is most upsetting.

Hello, Walter. The material isn't being removed because it is believed that it is a fiction, but because it is not properly sourced and because it is a copyright violation because it has been copied from your IMDb biography. If you would like to try to help with rewriting the article with sources and without copyright violations, please follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Simple COI request.

Larry —

Can’t you or another Editor please fix my page?

I’m not a Wikipedia editor, nor do I want to be one. My one attempt a coupke years ago to add a page for Lee Horwin who is a legitimate performer who has been around for decades was not accepted because I don’t know how to do this.

And now my own page — as a public personality for 55 years — has been practically deleted on the grounds that it contains the same credits as my IMDB pages! My credits are nor more exclusive to IMDB than anyone elses. My bio is the same everywhere. And my page — which I did not originate — has been on Wilipedia forever.

Seriously, as you must have read, I am a Tony Award nominee, I have been starring on Broadway, in films and on TV for over five decades, and now someone has decided I am not worth being properly represented on this website and all my credits have been deleted and I just don’t get it.

I was told to add links and references and I spent time doing that tonight and it was rejected. I don’t understand. I am a public personality. My life and career are public knowledge. I am not the editor of my page. I am not anybody’s editor. I just want my page back.

Before all the info was deleted it was the most complete and thorough record of my career available on line — there were even things listed I had firgotten about — and I am listed in other Wikipedia articles.

Someone set this up years ago. Can’t you or someone else fix it so I am not reduced to a two line soundbite? Isn’t that what Wilipedia editors do? If I am only reduced to a four line sentence about the show I did 48 ago then what’s the point of being listed here at all?

People use this as a reference and I would always direct them here. I even put a link in my recent programsbios saying “If you want to know more go to Wikipedia” because the information was so thorough. Now it’s gone.

Please, can’t you fix whatever is wrong or direct me to someone who can?

L —

I wrote all of that. It’s the standard bio that has gone out to the press, with periodic updates, for decades. I am the one who posted it on IMDB. This has nothing to do with them.

My bio has begun with the phrase “garnered a Tony Award nomination and a Theatre World Award” since a press agent first wrote that in 1971. It was not written by and is not copyrighted by IMDB.

Even the show titles are highlighted in red as copyrighted by IMDB! For example “Broadway Scandals of 1928: The New 1928 Speakeasy Musical” is the title of an off Broadway musical I wrote in 1982 and which has been recorded on CD. This has nothing to do with IMDB. it’s a title of a show I wrote listed in my bio and resume. But you - or someone — has highlighted in red as IMDB copyrighted. It is NOT! Nor are the majority of the other things highlighted, the shows and the names of the people involved in them.

To highlight all my show titles and the performers in them in red as IMBD copyrighted material is ludicrous. It’s the same as saying you can’t have a Wilipedia page for “The Sound of Music” or “Hello, Dolly!” because they’re listed on IMDB in thousands of bios and resumes.

I pay IMDB PRO annually to include that bio and resume info as does everyone else, so it’s accessible to producers, casting directors and others in the industry. The information is meant to be copied and shared.They didn’t write it. They don’t own it. They don’t even edit, censor or correct it. And one version or another has appeared in programs and Playbills and been sent out in press releases my entire life. It is not owned or copyrighted by anyone but me.

Larry —

I’m not sure what you do for a living but I gather you’re not involved in show business. Press agents are hired by actors, writers, producers, production companis, etc. to promite them. We hire them to write about us. They work for us. They don’t own anything they send out. It is meant to be copied, used in articles, reviews, etc. That’s the whole point.

And NOBODY owns show titles or anyones names.

All he show titles and casts are highlighted in red. They are not cooyrighted by IMDB and I don’t know where anyone would even get that idea. If they are then you need to delete your pages about HELLO, DOLLY!, THE SOUND OF MUSIC, MY FAIR LADY and every other play, musical or film. As well as those pages about every other actor whose name is highlghted in red.

There’s very little hyperbole, and it’s been there for years that way. And if you don’t like the verbage then rewrite it. I just want it to be updated and accurate.

But I am not a Wikipedia editor and don’t know how to do all the rest, the references and such.

And if you are being so literal and in fear of IMDB then why is it listed as a reference for every other actor in the business?

Copyright law doesn't prohibit us from using a copyrighted source as a reference. Including the names of shows from IMDb is fine. too. What is not OK is including many whole sentences from a copyrighted source, which was the case here.

Hello Larry,

I received your message from located on the attached link. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:148.77.75.34&diff=cur

Apparently the updates I made were canceled because I need to provide a reliable source. How do I include a citation, and re-add the updates? I need guidance on the referencing for beginners tutorial. Also, how can I speak with you (talk) on the telephone - and add you to my watch list to see your reply?

Hello, Paul. Instructions on adding references are given at Help:Referencing for beginners. I'm sorry, but I prefer to communicate on Wikipedia rather than offline, so I don't accept offers to speak on the phone. The watchlist function is limited to users who have created an account, but that makes me wonder, are you the editor who was previously editing as PaulColemanUSA? If so, you should log in to that account.

Hello again, Paulcoleman. I'm not sure why you have created a new account rather than using the PaulColemanUSA one, but anyway...

Hello Larry,

I received your reply to my question related to the updates. As such, I have signed in with my username paulcoleman. Kindly note, my other username of PaulColemannUSA is basically the same. I think that I inadvertently created the second one. Is it advisable for me to delete one of these accounts? If so, how do I do that?

During the interim, I have followed the instructions at Wikipedia:Simple COI request to add references for the subject of the article that I am trying to expand, and I am following your advice of sticking with suggested changes on the talk page by following those instructions. As such, I have entered the suggested changes on the talk page for your reference. I hope this helps!

There is no way to delete an account, Paulcoleman, because all edits need to remain attributed to the editor who made them. Just make sure that you stick to using one account from now on, so that you are not accused of abusing multiple accounts.

Hello again, Paulcoleman. The request has already been responded to. Everything you want to add will need to have a reference. Newspaper articles are likely to be the most promising source in your case (or maybe specialist sailing magazines?), but information on what is considered reliable is given at WP:RS. Note that sources do not have to be available online. Only once sources have been provided will the material be added to the article. It is best to keep future discussion of this at Talk:Paul Coleman (sailor) rather than here, as I am not the editor dealing with your request.

The only cyclists at Oxford Street, Regents Street, outside the Parliament / Westminster Abbey, Soho, City of London or even around Imperial War Museum I ever seen, are messengers working. I spoke with a man at a post office close to Russel Square, he made complaints about the high flat rents. He also told me "if I moved to East End, it would be cheaper, but then the transports to work would become equally higher". I then just briefly suggested "what about a bike". He just laughed a little, and didn't wished to be killed. There are many cyclists in the north, easst, south and far west - but not in City of London , Westminster etc. Especially not if comparing to many other Capital Cities in Europe.
We are obligated to describe what is, not exaggerate. Compare with Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Berlin, Hamburg etc - and you 'll see, there are very few cyclists in London's most central parts. It's a really lovely city anyway. Thanks.

You're correct regarding the examples I gave here above. But just the fact that London presents a guide to bikeroads suggests in itself there is a problem. In most other large cities (which are flat enough and hasn't got long and cold winters), bikeroads are almost just as common as pavements/sidewalks. London grew early and has never had its streets reconstructed, like Paris. Compared to its size, the streets in central London in general, are narrow. That's easy to verify.

Hope you are well. Was wondering if I can get your opinion regarding potential canvassing issue, particularly this message [2]. Despite the content of the message seemingly being about a separate subject, it is possibly pertinent to the discussion over at Talk:Somalis. The editor being asked to "contact me when you read this" is possibly a relative of the Warsangali leader Soupforone is attempting to reinsert into the article, per their own claim ("My own ancestors and/or relatives on my paternal side used to rule large swathes of eastern and parts of central Somaliland via the Warsangali sultanate") [3] also ("I'm Warsangali and Dashishe on my father's side [...] and my mother is Majeerteen with some Marehan and Ogaden") [4]. Given the discussion involving the Warsangali leader on the Somalis page, as well as the ongoing issue at [5], all related to supposedly the relatives of editor receiving the message, the timing of message and "contact me when you read this" line are cause for concern. Could this be considered canvassing? Or would it only be considered that if they support canvasser in said discussions (if at all)?

I think the message is too vague and unrelated to be considered canvassing, Kzl55. Whether canvassing will happen if the editor replies off-Wikipedia is another matter, of course, but that is a general problem across Wikipedia, which I don't think we have an answer to.

I see, that makes sense. The combination of who the message was sent to (and their relation to dispute), the vague wording of the message (as well as the explicit 'contact me' note), and the timing of the message where a cause for concern for me.

Hope you are well Larry. Wanted to get your opinion on this post [6]. I have posted it a couple of days ago and it still has no responses and was wondering if the pinging worked at all. Also, any advice on how to take it further, i.e. would it be more suitable as its own standalone report instead of being part of the discussion pertaining to the Somalis article? Especially since it references previous behaviour on WP as well as Commons. If you had seen it and was not able to reply there for any reason absolutely no worries.

Sorry, Kzl55, but I have been rather busy with off-Wikipedia business. I think that the AN/I thread probably needs to be resolved by administrators.

Absolutely no worries, appreciate you getting back. Did you get a ping from that post? I have also pinged admins but did not hear back yet and was wondering if the form I used { {Reply} } worked (VS { {Replyto} }). I thought having a separate report might be suitable seeing as it is about specific disruptive behaviour by the editor that involves other WP sites as well, seeing that the discussion at hand is about the section/article and looks to be developing to involve the whole Somali project, my worry is that the post gets lost in the replies. --Kzl55 (talk) 19:44, 18 February 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-02-18T19:44:00.000Z","author":"Kzl55","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Kzl55-2018-02-18T19:44:00.000Z-Cordless_Larry-2018-02-18T19:15:00.000Z","replies":["c-Cordless_Larry-2018-02-18T20:27:00.000Z-Kzl55-2018-02-18T19:44:00.000Z"]}}-->

Yes, I did get a ping, Kzl55. I think at the time I decided to wait for an admin to respond, and just keep an eye on the discussion rather than posting an immediate reply.

Could you take a look at the contributions of the following admin user:NatGertler They've been adding AfD tags on articles that pertain to actor/producer Bryan Earl Kreutz. This page has a long running talk for notability on the AFD page. This is in no way an attack on them, just a concern as it is pertaining to deletion not tags for correction. They've continued even after an editor politely asked them to further clarify references on the deletion for the aforementioned Bryan Earl Kreutz. It appears it has a predictable SNOW result that contravening MfD is unacceptable., could you consider intervening? The links for notability are from verifiable independent sources and newspaper writers and are archived on websites because they are a few years old, as such since they are not on the original newspaper website, the articles are being called Copyright violations. I have other ways of uploading the articles to prove they are not Copyright violations. I'm wondering can the references be uploaded to an inbox or the AfD articles be re-written as a project or something done here?

In addition to the Bryan Earl Kreutz page, the 2 other pages i'm referring to with Bryan Kreutz are as follows: To Inflict, The article has 2 verifiable sources that were older and retrieved last on 2013-09-08. One of the sources showed it in a notable story on the Indie Fest USA website and is no longer there because the website updated their latest films for the festival, his film was from 2013.

The next page is Up on High Ground. I'm asking if you could please restore the page or point me to someone who can as I and a number of others had contributed to it since it was created over 2 years ago and I would like to continue improving it.

Any thoughts about whether both To Inflict or Up on High Ground (TV series) could qualify for semi-protection? Additionally to be considered to be added here Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard or if they can be fairly assessed by other top notch admins without this user:NatGertler and other admin friends they bring in to make rash decisions to back them up and ultimately move to AfD? I'm asking advice as this page seems to be a possiblity? I just don't know where we should go. Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion ?

Lastly I feel this administrator has erred in closing a deletion discussion or in applying AFD tags, and I've contacted them directly and been ignored. Should I go before the Wikipedia:Deletion review, rather than Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion ?

As I noted on the other page where you posted this, I am not an administrator. Also, I did not put the AFD tag on Bryan Earl Kreutz, that would be reddogsix (talk · contribs); I did put a PROD on it.

I'm not sure why you have chosen me to approach about this matter, Techform, but I note that you have asked a number of other editors the same questions on their talk pages, so I should make you aware that you need to be careful not to be seen to be canvassing or forum shopping.

Hi Cordless Larry,

Hello Tiko Kerr. Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it should only contain information summarised from existing, published sources. That means that we can only include information in the article about you if sources exist to support that material - we can't just take your word that it is true.

Hi, I created a page for a digital forensics tool ILOOK which has been deleted. I based the page on the following pages that are similar tools and are already on Wikipedia so I am not sure where I went wrong as I thought the description was factual rather than promotional:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EnCase https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_Toolkit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sleuth_Kit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registry_Recon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTK_Forensics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HashKeeper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xplico

I think I only referenced information that is on the web already.

Hello, P1127. You'll see that several of those articles are tagged for issues including promotionalism, so they probably shouldn't be taken as models to emulate. I also noted that the article you created appeared to be a copy of this, and I'm not sure what the copyright status of text on that wiki is. To understand more about how to write a neutral article, I suggest taking a look at Wikipedia:Your first article. If you want to have another try, then it is best to write a draft that you can submit for review by experienced editors, following the instructions on that page. That way, it is much less likely to be deleted.

Hello, Howd Warren. I see that you have already asked a question at Wikipedia:Teahouse#Hello, which makes you a guest in my mind, but if you would like to formalise it, there's an "Introduce yourself" button at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Guests. Pressing that allows you to add yourself to the list of guests. We also need to fix your signature, to stop that bot from following you around. Your signature needs to include at least one link to your user pages. Usually, this problem is fixed by unchecking the "Treat the above as wiki markup" option in the signature section of Special:Preferences. Can you give that a try?

Extended content

This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous. Such material is not meant to be taken seriously. Thanks for submitting your RFA. While I applaud enthusiasm, I'm afraid you do not yet possess sufficient knowledge/experience for the community to have confidence in your readiness to become an admin. You may find the following advice helpful. If you have not done so already, please read: Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship The administrator policy page The admin reading list. A few thoughts: Generally, It has been my experience that it takes at least 3,000,000 edits in a variety of areas to learn policy and guidelines well enough to attempt adminship. Also, nominees returning after an unsuccessful RfA should wait at least another 3,000,000 edits and 3000 months before trying again. Nominees need to show the ability to contribute a number of significant edits to build the encyclopedia. The Admin tools allow the user to block and unblock other editors, delete and undelete pages and protect and unprotect pages. Nominees will therefore do well to gain experience and familiarity with such areas as WP:AIV, WP:AFD, WP:CSD, Wikipedia:Protection policy, and WP:BLOCK to learn when to do these things. Adminship inevitably leads one to 1) need to explain clearly the reasons for one's decisions, 2) need to review one's decisions and change one's mind when it is reasonable to do so, 3) need to review one's decisions and stand firm when it is reasonable to do so, 4) need to negotiate a compromise. Admins need a familiarity with dispute resolution. The ability to communicate clearly is essential. Article building is the raison d'être of Wikipedia. I recommend significant participation in WP:GA or WP:FA as the surest way to gain article building experience. I find a large number of "Wikignome" type edits to be helpful. I recommend taking part in RfA discussions to help learn from the experiences of others. Hope this helps. Good luck and happy editing. My suggestion would be to withdraw and try again in another 3000 months and 3,000,000 edits.

Congratulations Cordless Larry! Your RfA was successful. You are now an administrator on the English Wikipedia. I hope you have just as happy a time editing in the future as you did before your RfA. You may want to look at the admin guide to read up on any tools you are unfamiliar with.

There's a script, User:Gary/comments in local time.js that you can add to Special:MyPage/common.js. It works out the timezone from your browser and converts all UTC dates into local ones. As it effectively syncs to your local computer, it means it caters with GMT / BST switches automatically.

I noticed Cellphonevilla while reviewing new articles, and my suspicions were roused when I saw the article came from a new editor yet had maintenance templates attached to it. I saw that you deleted the article today, so can I ask which editor created the version of the article you deleted?

Welcome, UnsungKing123. I will leave you a proper welcome message on your talk page, with links to pages that you will find helpful. They will hopefully give you some ideas for how you can contribute. If you are nervous about making mistakes, perhaps get some practice in by creating User:UnsungKing123/Sandbox and trying things out there. Once you have made a few edits there, look at the history tab for the page and you will see how you can undo ("revert") your edits if you make mistakes. If you are looking for a more concrete suggestion, adding references to poorly sourced articles is always a worthwhile activity. See Help:Referencing for beginners for guidance on how to do this.

• If you mean the IP where I blocked a lot more than one sock, those socks aren't even remotely related behaviorally to Troyoleg. They just happen to be using the same proxy. I like how editors share proxies, so collaborative and convivial.

Based on the page history, soupforone has been battling socks atleast since january on the page. The socks are most likely Bayesedam's who just got blocked, his older sock rockvoid made this edit [7] which soupforone reverted. im assuming since soupforone got blocked the sock of rockvoid on april 5th returned with another account this time Swoonsaxes and tried to make the same edit, [8] thus soupforone may have quickly created an account and reverted him. [9] soupforone and tryoleg both remove this phrase "were Habar Magādle who were Habar Awal, Garhajis, Arap and Ayub all part of Isāq clan" I think the removal of this again by a new user, made rockvoids sock, bayesedam call out soup.

I note that it was Soupforone who added the material on Leo Africanus that Troyoleg is restoring. The number of blocked editors in the article's recent history is worrying.

Keep in mind too that under the updated editing restrictions for middayexpress et al, admins can take action against to protect the pages being editing by suspected socks so if you can't prove that one account is tied to a sock then we can protect an article or do something else of that nature to help keep unwanted socks of the article(s).

Hi! You recently answered a Teahouse question I submitted about a week ago regarding a merger. I was wondering if you could check whether I followed the steps as required?

Thanks for doing that, JKen. It looks like you got everything correct - well done.

Hi Larry

Thank you very much for saving my article from deletion! I admit, I've not had a lot of time to work on it lately, though I do still look over my scrapbook of newspaper clippings from time to time.

It's proving very difficult to find independent sources. As the SASES is a government funded volunteer organisation it seems all I can find is either published by the State or merely mentions the SASES ... It's also somewhat frustrating that our sister organisation, the South Australian Country Fire Service have a page with just 3 references. & our interstate equivalent Victoria State Emergency Service have even less...

Is there any further advice you can give me?

Kind regards --KaiRAWR (talk) 06:29, 27 April 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-04-27T06:29:00.000Z","author":"KaiRAWR","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-KaiRAWR-2018-04-27T06:29:00.000Z-South_Australian_State_Emergency_Service","replies":["c-Cordless_Larry-2018-04-27T06:56:00.000Z-KaiRAWR-2018-04-27T06:29:00.000Z"]}}-->

I had a look for sources myself, KaiRAWR, and I found the same: lots of mentions but not much by way of in-depth, independent coverage. Can I suggest that you ask at the Teahouse for suggestions on finding sources and on what might count as significant coverage in this situation? The other two articles you mention pre-date the introduction of the draft review process. If the article that you are trying to write cannot be accepted and those two topics also lack significant coverage, then the articles should probably be deleted, but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Hey Cordless Larry!

I created a page with just a couple of sentences and a picture of an issue of Faces International, which was quickly deleted. Please tell me what I can do to create this page, which others will eventually add to?

There is very little about Faces International on the web, yet you can find useless information about almost anything else under the Sun.

Thanks,
