Hey Doc,

Please forgive me for arriving at your talk page somewhat fashionably late, what with you having archived the conversation you were having with my better half not so long ago. Yes, I tend to stay away from WP when I have work commitments. As in I am turrrble at multitasking. Also, I’m still very much addicted to getting together with my real-life friends. And yes, I was angry with you for saying that you don’t like “Kolbe” anymore without looking at the context. Then again, you probably don’t know what a fine person JN466 is when you’re around him on a daily basis, and I should have taken that into account. Also, I did resent how, in my opinion, you were trying to get some kinda groveling apology out of DC on their talk page. I can’t say I know DC, but I don’t think they’re the groveling kind. And why would they have to be? Their heart seems to be in the right place, and they are more than willing to take risks in order to stop this place from turning into a pit of corruption. I don’t participate much, but I do observe. My gorgeous hubby and the equally lovely DC seem to be among a small minority who, while caring deeply about the project, will catch flak over and over again for being honest about its flaws. You are among the better people I’ve come across around here. Sometimes the better people will have to take a stand, and that includes giving the benefit of the doubt to folks who may not always seem to be toeing the party line but are a net benefit to the project in the long run. Thank you also for removing those horrible pictures from the article on you-know-what. And for bumping up Pym from a C to a B. Just in case you’re about to get serious about literary fiction, “Hunting in Harlem” is still my favorite by Johnson, so you may want to get that one first. And no, I didn’t come here to make a name for myself on the internet this late in my life. But you’re probably wise enough to have figured that out already. I am however still fascinated by people’s life stories, hence my interest in BLPs and in protecting living people from the darker elements that are drawn to this project for their own sordid reasons. You’re in a position to do a great deal of good. Please use it while you can.

• Draco, just a quick note before I leave this place to its own devices again: I was not looking for a "groveling apology". If DC had said they'd observe the interaction ban, that would have been good enough. Heart is one thing, but there was an interaction ban, simple as that. Now, I'm not going to claim to be lovely or useful, but I do find it remarkable how much flak I get for sticking my neck out: you may have noticed that I was the only one, at least for a while, who even paid attention to DC. And for all that YRC defense, you can go check my RfA: he opposed it, in the silliest of fashions, because I refused to consent to a block for another editor, one who didn't tow the party line (that's all water under the bridge and is here to serve as an example--I have since defended Rob in various places, until recently). Guess who the other naysayer on my RfA was? The other editor. So if anyone knows something about getting bitten by the cat and the dog, it's me.

  Now, I don't believe I can do a lot of good. I created one little category, for user space only, and the next thing you know a bunch of folks who don't even know what an article edit looks like are accusing me, in one personal attack after another, of tearing up this beautiful project. I'm sick to my stomach of it, and I'm not the only one. So, if there's anything good to be done here it'll have to be done by others.

You know, Bbb23, I’ve been considering getting botox of late, just to know what that feels like, given that I seem to be the only one among my circle of lady friends who hasn’t had any “work” done yet. Alternatively, I could just get more involved with this here project, cos that’s bound to stop me from acquiring any more smile lines.

Doc Mies, don’t you dare slink away at a time like this ;) DC didn’t technically break their interaction ban (a ban that they’d asked for to begin with), since they never mentioned the other party’s name. What DC said needed to be said. And ain’t it funny how it’s always DC getting hit with the block stick while the other party gets away with a gentle slap on the wrist whenever they break it. There were other examples on Elen of the Road’s talk page at the time, if memory serves, but they seem to have magically disappeared. Or maybe that's just me growing old, losing marbles, as they say in the UK. And Doc and Bbb, please don’t think for one second that I’m here to defend YRC. I used to believe that YRC was a good egg until recently, when an account on Wikipediocracy whom I believe to be YRC (I may be wrong) posted an incredibly homophobic rant involving Cirt that's since been mercifully deleted. I have no warm feelings about Cirt’s trolling of various Wikimedia sites, but I care deeply about my fabulous friends and the rights they are being denied to this day in various corners of this world. I believe that DC does, too, but then again, what do I know. Doc – I very much appreciated you sticking your neck out, but I wish you’d have been a little more bold. Please don’t leave now.

• drmies, don't let the current shitstorm sour you on the whole project. I know you aren't one of these divas who just flies off the handle so that people will ask them to come back, so I assume the reaction to this whole incident has really gotten to you. But you already knew things were far from perfect here, and that sometimes the smallest thing gets blown way, way out of proposrtion and becomes a forest fire of epic proportions. This nine-days-wonder will fade soon enough into the background noise of endless wiki-drama. I find it best to just unwatch any discussion that is causing me to feel wiki-stress.

I see that you closed my discussion on ANI...which is fine b/c at least I have the attention of an administrator to whom I can explain this situation. You say that the changes I've discussed on the ANI are a matter of WP:CONTENT and should be discussed on the relevant talk page, but not only has the content in dispute already been discussed on the talk page already but I've already went through DNR. The problem is that when I tried to add the material back in the RT article, I was handed a block of one week for edit warring, even though most of the content I was putting into the article already had consensus. At this point, I'm at a loss for what to do, I've went through the dispute resolution process and came out with consensus for my edits, but if I put the content back in the RT article again, I run the risk of getting blocked indefinitely.

The reason why I went to ANI once my block expired was because I thought that that was the next step in the dispute resolution process for the kind of issue that I'm encountering.

You're right overall there was no consensus reached on DNR, but consensus was reached on individual points, especially the ones referred to on the ANI. The problem is that if I follow your advice that I, "follow the advice given at the closure of that thread" I'll risk an indefinite block...thus the catch-22. I'm not sure how to proceed, perhaps if I make the changes on the RT page and then you go through the edits to make sure they conform to the DNR and points raised by User CarolmooreDC?

I don't think that's a good approach. On the article talk page there is a section you started called "Reception section", which seems to relate to the individual points on which you think some consensus was reached. Why don't you list the points, with some support as to consensus, and get some confirmation of consensus there?

But that's exactly what I'm talking about, the changes that I propose to add (as explained on the ANI) already have confirmation via the DNR or the talkpage As the DNR itself was initiated by this paragraph, I really can't see what the point of trying to reach the consensus again.

If you've already listed the points on which you believe consensus has been reached at ANI (I ain't gonna read it all), then it should be easy for you to list those points on the talk page. Obviously, I can't speak from knowledge, but it is just barely possible that you and others might disagree as to whether consensus was actually reached on particular points.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:03, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-09T01:03:00.000Z","author":"Bbb23","type":"comment","level":7,"id":"c-Bbb23-2012-11-09T01:03:00.000Z-Festermunk-2012-11-09T00:54:00.000Z","replies":["c-Festermunk-2012-11-09T01:25:00.000Z-Bbb23-2012-11-09T01:03:00.000Z"]}}-->

I can (and upon your persistent suggestion will) list them but again what good will that do? There's already consensus on the specific edits I'm making, so I don't see why it would be necessary to find consensus again. Perhaps you can elaborate further in the reception's section.

• Whether you are "interesting to" me or not is orthogonal to whether you are special. I have no reason not to believe you are special, regardless of my relative interest in you at any time. Additionally, based on my sporadic, non-random (not statistically valid) observation, it appears you have a (well-deserved) number of wiki-friends, so it's unclear to me why whether I'm a member of the set of Drmies' friends is important to you. Actually, I was wondering if I was particularly interesting to you, as your suspect assertion about Cover Story -- surely Bloody blender [2] is even less notable? -- and edits of Carly Foulkes surely aren't coincidental?

When you act like you did after my posting on AN/I to encourage people who call others nazis and to enbolden editors who don't contribute but take the opportunity to scold,[3] you encourage behavior like Niteshift36's current badgering on my talk page.[4]

Crisco, that looks like a fascinating flick. I'd never heard of it; thanks. But I'll put you at ease: I am convinced (and scholarship on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Marie de France bears this out, in my opinion) that homophobia and misogyny go hand in hand. Or, to put it funkier, those who hate women hate men also. Anyways, that's ESSAY/OR/SYNTH. Ladies, I have an essay on werewolves to finish, so I'll leave you all to it.

• My apologies! I (along with, perhaps, the other [less friendly] editor who mistook you for a woman) was going off of the userbox that states "This user is totally owned by his her two daughters and one boy." And aside from having absolutely loved the Lais and hated Sir Gawain, I failed to notice any homophobia in either (which makes sense, since at that time I'd also failed to notice any homosexuality in myself!)... what did I miss?! (The misogeny in either work being a given.) I did read them the same year I read The Canterbury Tales, and I have a teacher who's absolutely convinced that Chaucer meant to imply a (not wholly consensual) homosexual relationship between Chanticleer and the Fox. Then again, I go to a school where one (rather conservative) teacher assigned us a lesbian love poem to memorize in our second week of sixth grade, and then, four years later, Honoré de Balzac's Père Goriot (an 1835 work featuring a rather openly gay quasi-villain). — further, Francophonie&Androphilie sayeth naught (Je vous invite à me parler) 00:12, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-12T00:12:00.000Z","author":"Francophonie&Androphilie","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Francophonie&Androphilie-2012-11-12T00:12:00.000Z-Crisco_1492-2012-11-10T15:22:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2012-11-12T04:45:00.000Z-Francophonie&Androphilie-2012-11-12T00:12:00.000Z"]}}-->

• 'tis late here, so in brief--think of Guinevere in Lanval: "I've heard it say that you have many young men with whom you take your pleasure". Then, consider--what if the Lady had had sex with Sir Gawain? How would Gawain "return" that gift to the Lord? Who'd be top, bottom? The door is opened at a crack and closed immediately since Gawain (in complete contrast to the Gawain of just about every other Gawain romance) does not have sex with her. There's a fascinating essay, "A Kiss is Just a Kiss: Gawain and the Consolations of Heterosexuality" by Carolyn Dinshaw, which places this in a historical context, and look at Gawain's manuscript context--the MS contains a text whose sole purpose is to argue against sodomy. Anyway, then note how Gawain at the end of his story blames woman for his downfall (typical of misogynist clerks) and how in Lanval the fairy lady has to prove her beauty in a swimsuit contest. This is all shorthand, of course, but I find it remarkable that stereotypical attitudes toward woman and sometimes violent accusations of homosexuality go hand in hand. Hence my all-too quick and easy law: men who hate women hate men as well. Translate as something like "stereotypical (and of course heterosexual) men who hate women in the traditional misogynist way are also apt to exhibit a kind of fear of homosexuality that typically translates in violence against gays". I'll spare you some of the details I got from, you know, football players in my freshman comp class at Tennessee, for instance. Was the poem Goblin Market? "Hug me, kiss me, suck my juices"?

All this does remind me of a couple of previous editors and the whole "admin abuse" accusation, pointing to a kind of blue wall. Funny thing is, there is some kind of truth to it: often admins do tend to stick together, but in most (probably not all) cases because they're reading policy correctly, for instance.

  • Good to be back at more or less full pace. I needed a break, was getting grumpy. I need to work a little less at SPI and ANI, ie: take my own advice about not staying in contentious areas all the time. It is important that I keep a positive attitude, both for myself and for those who actually benefit from some of the things I try to do. I'm going to try to spend at least 1/3 of my time on actual articles. I've been admin long enough now to understand better how someone can get cynical in this job, and I'm going to make sure I'm not one of those that do. Once January gets here, I will be more scarce for a few months, the seasonality of my long time profession, but at least I can plan for it.

Hmm, OK. Hadn't looked for that yet--I'm about to review a couple of nominations. Well, both terms seem to denote culture as well as ethnicity.

Could I ask you to have a look at the seemingly ongoing edit war on this article. I did try to assist a little time ago, but it appears that the record label owner, or someone close to him; and a possible disgruntled client, or someone close to him; are playing edit ping-pong to try to make their point. In some ways I do not have an opinion either way on the matter but, as usual, it does not do Wikipedia's reputation any good seeing an article constantly ebbing and flowing to reflect particular editor's viewpoints.

(I thought Nude Records might sit nicely with your boobies and tits). Many thanks,

Block evasion by User:Frost778 with IP 75.51.172.205 & his/her talk page (see Template_talk:History of Armenia and User_talk:Kentronhayastan). S/he got blocked again for edit warring.

(1) I I was not familiar with the slang "bollocks"' so I looked it up, my browser blocked the search results as inappropriate. (Safari/ device IPad), I would provide a screen shot image on request. So apparently the term's in-offensiveness is not universal. (2) Editors should not launch personal attacks, he uses terms for flatulence, testicles to describe my edits, he insinuates "To be honest, it seemed like another example of your subtle pedantry when it comes to pushing your various Indic/Hindutva etc agenda" regarding a practice that was indulged in because of lack of knowledge and which was corrected when it was brought to my notice by another editor. (3) At AN/I I was not looking for penal action against him per se, I could have rather preferred Wikipedia:Wikiquette assistance, but it is inactive. Is there any way for him to be persuaded to oblige to be a little less rude? (4) You could ask me to avoid him, well I do it, it is he who follows me all around the place, which of course he is free to do.

Yogesh,

I already said that you should re-evaluate your edits and behavior. Sitush is not somebody who is mean to new editors or harsh to anybody. Sitush's cleaning up after you is a serious wake-up call.

A second wake-up call is the suggestion that you might need some serious administrative action from Blade of the Northern Lights, who is especially protective of young editors from Asia and who often disagrees with me (i.e., he is often wrong!).

Please try to go a month or two on your best behavior and try to learn from suggestions from these two editors. They do not mean you ill.

Yogesh, I cannot be held responsible for your browser's preferences. I will put my faith in a good dictionary. "Bollocks" is so mild that it is perfectly acceptable just about everywhere--"damn", "blast", "nonsense", "rubbish" are given in the OED (more authoritative than anyone's browser) as synonyms. No testicles. "Farting around" has, of course, nothing to do with farting. It's a prepositional verb whose meaning is idiomatic and as such is unrelated to flatulence. Any good dictionary can tell you that. Now, ANI is for calling administrators' attention to matters--but this was not a matter that needed any kind of attention. I'm not going to ask you to avoid him, since that will be hard to do given that you work in the same areas, nor will I ask him to be less rude since, in my opinion, he wasn't rude to begin with. At best he was exasperated. Sitush's comments about what he perceives to be your agenda require no attention either: it is valid for him to make such comments even if unwelcome to you, no doubt. Thank you.

British police[6] and courts considered bollocks "deemed to cause harassment, alarm or distress", I've no cause to suspect that they didn't have access to good dictionaries. Safari (web browser) is not "my browser" and I didn't set any preferences. Wikipedia though not a reliable source informs that "The word "fart" is generally considered unsuitable in formal situations as it may be considered vulgar or offensive". If you think AN/I is not the place to bring civility issues you would perhaps suggest another place. Thank you for your time.

Yogesh, you seem to have misread the article that you cite. The courts said no such thing, as BWilikins highlights & I did, temporarily, with a non-free use image here. And the police decision was never tested - fixed penalty fines rarely are, because they're fairly cheap and the appeal process is a lot of paperwork. If you want to pursue the matter further, WP:WQA suggests Wikipedia:Dispute resolution, wherein the most likely candidate would seem to be Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution#Resolving_user conduct disputes. I might take a photo of one of my shirts later: you can guess what word is on it and, no, I've never even been pulled by the police despite often moving in similar circles. - Sitush (talk) 17:22, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-13T17:22:00.000Z","author":"Sitush","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Sitush-2012-11-13T17:22:00.000Z-Bwilkins-2012-11-13T17:06:00.000Z","replies":["c-LadyofShalott-2012-11-13T19:55:00.000Z-Sitush-2012-11-13T17:22:00.000Z"]}}-->

Dear not-friend. ;) The top of ANI says "administrators and experienced editors" because in 2011, the administrator sub-community took upon themselves to speak for the entire community in approving frickin ads in Wikipedia. It was, in fact, the only time I was actually really pissed while contributing to WP. Discussion (long) here: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive731#Harvard.2FScience_Po_Adverts.

• Well. Thanks for the correction, I suppose--I will quibble and say that the two editors are not sufficiently experienced, though they have had some experience with administrators, as their block log demonstrates. Also, I don't believe you go to ANI to sling mud like these two did (I'm biting my tongue trying to stay within certain parameters).

• Either way, it was a correction. I went and had a look and you were correct. I wish we could have a filter of some sort. The dramah at ANI comes not from administrators taking or not taking action, or from the very cases brought up there, or from jokers like me bantering around: it comes from people with grudges or little else to do. It reminds me of the question they always ask in the emergency room when you show up there with a bleeding head and a concussion on a Saturday night--were you in a fight, and are those guys following you to finish it?

• Hi jchittley--thank you for your question. I think that Jimfbleak covered it pretty well on your own talk page: it's a matter of tone, mostly, plus a lack of reliable (independent) sources. To provide people with tools for decision making is not one of the encyclopedia's goals, I'm afraid: articles need to be written in a neutral tone, with verified information, and reliable sources to establish notability and accuracy. A next step could be to rewrite and send it through the W:AFC process (click on the link and you'll see)--but individual courses are rarely notable as subjects, with the possible exception of De Saussure's Course in General Linguistics.

Hi. I understand your removal of the off-site hyperlinks from Country-western dance, but why did you remove the whole Organization section? I think the Long Island one might just be a local club with a high-falutin' name, since it's described as a clearinghouse for local events and lessons, but the others are all overarching organizations—at least, I know UCWDC is, and that one could be wikilinked. —Largo Plazo (talk) 22:07, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-17T22:07:00.000Z","author":"Largoplazo","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Largoplazo-2012-11-17T22:07:00.000Z-Country_western_dance_organizations","replies":["c-Drmies-2012-11-18T02:07:00.000Z-Largoplazo-2012-11-17T22:07:00.000Z"],"displayName":"\u2014Largo Plazo"}}-->

• Hi Largoplazoa--if it's an organization notable by our standards, and/or has an article, by all means go ahead and link it. The problem with a lot of those links in many articles is the directory aspect, of course, but also the skewing toward US and other English-speaking countries. How overarching an organization is can often be a matter of dispute, but if you think you have an argument, by all means reinstate the link, preferably with a description that indicates the relevance etc. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 02:07, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-18T02:07:00.000Z","author":"Drmies","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Drmies-2012-11-18T02:07:00.000Z-Largoplazo-2012-11-17T22:07:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Q & Q.

      • Not only did I take no offense, I found my own stupidity rather humorous. For a long time, my user page has said "Feel free to correct any errors I make on any page at Wikipedia, even here. No permission is required, but a good edit summary is always appreciated.". I make those kinds of errors all the time. It's one reason I use Chrome, which has spell correction, although in this case the spelling wasn't the problem. My brain is just wired different, and sometimes I look at a post and think "WTF was I thinking?". So by all means, please do correct my stupidity without feeling you have to explain it, it only makes me look smarter than I am. Or at least less dumberer.

• I'm shocked that you and I didn't cross paths earlier. I got to know CoM just as he arrived, but took a long Wikibreak shortly thereafter. He, DGG and I used to patrol AfD back in 2008 (which is how I have 1600 AfD cases to my credit). Back then, AfD was a dramafest. During my two year sabbatical, I only edited sporadically as an IP, about the same time you were chums. I can't find a link where our paths have crossed before this year, oddly enough.

Please could you explain this derogatory statement about me you made at ANI (in a thread which was closed before I reached it): I also see MistyMorn thrown around accusations of incivility without cause, which often indicates a person is on the losing side of the argument--very irritating, such accusations. Fyi, here are the links to the two warnings I issued to User:Widescreen: 1 (with missing diff here); 2. I think I deserve an apology. Adding: btw, how I'm expected to dialogue on a serious clinical question with comments such as Sorry. This is wat I called sophistery. Your agressive revert-procedre makes me think I got some sceptics here. I know this kind of users. These are the most pseudoscientiffic users in the star wars universe! frankly beats me. I think Wikipedia users, who may be looking for information that is really important to them, deserve better than to have a page like this effectively disrupted (and not just by Widescreen).

Thank you at least for the template advice: I'm no expert in the somewhat opaque details of best Wikipedia practices. I still think you seriously owe me apology for your disparaging comments which, yes, I do find discouraging coming from an Admin. (And fwiw, I really don't feel obliged to dialogue making those wild "kindergarten" accusations.) I see absolutely no reason to apologise to Widescreen. I have absolutely nothing against this person as a person. But those two series of edits are really disruptive. For example, claiming WP:MEDRS doesn't exist as a guideline because it's a redirect - thanks, but no thanks, I have better things to do!

Well, then we've reached either agreement or an impasse. I think your warnings were not warranted, certainly not as civility warnings and with templates. I also think that such warnings are usually a bad sign. If you think I was incorrect in my reading of who was scoring what in that particular argument, that's fine, I won't dispute it.

What I will dispute is that such civility warnings (and the subsequent ANI thread, and I know that you didn't start that) are not conducive, simple as that. Take my word for it: there needs to be a serious breach of the decorum of civility before an admin blocks for it, and if the offending words come nowhere near that threshold then the warnings serve no purpose, they're just hollow threats. Mind you, I am not defending all that your opponent said, or how they said it--what I am saying is that you, if you have legitimate beef, should find different tactics to attain your goal, whatever that goal may be.

Fyi (and I really don't think I should need to have to point this out) my goal in this case was simply to help provide genuinely reliable information on Wikipedia in a clinically relevant topic. That's to say, in the knowledge that patients really do come to Wikipedia as a source of information, and that the information they find may influence their decisions. However, I'm human and my patience has its limits. Right now it's seething.

I should say that in other circumstances I would be happy to hear your advice on how to use those templates. But here, I'm afraid it all rings hollow. Whenever did I mention a block? (Fwiw, I might well have supported a limited topic ban, if I'd prioritize ANI over tidying a new article Wikipedia_talk:MED#New_article:_Dutch_hypothesis.) Anyway, I did my best, and that's that. And I've got bitten for my pains. But I sometimes feel that's pretty much par for the course when trying to help out on anything controversial (however relevant its implications) on Wikipedia.

I have replied there as well. Please note that I have not reverted anywhere more than once, while Sudo is up to two reverts on a number of articles, including an article I am in the process of developing to GA and where I am a primary contributor, and where I introduced my favorite reference style months ago and was just bringing some new refs (that I've added) in line with. He also reverted various other edits of mine, such as REFLINKs, citation requests, disambiguation changes, and such. He is clearly stalking my edits now and disrupting my work, and I'd very much appreciate assistance before I have to ask for help at ANI. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:44, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-20T04:44:00.000Z","author":"Piotrus","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Piotrus-2012-11-20T04:44:00.000Z-SudoGhost-2012-11-20T03:35:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2012-11-20T04:47:00.000Z-Piotrus-2012-11-20T04:44:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus"}}-->

I don't know, Piotrus--this is a discussion that, as I said on their talk page, needs a bit of centralization. One hopes that it doesn't have to be on ANI, but if you wish to claim stalking that's where you have to go--but I hope you won't go make that claim.

Centralization is fine on his talk page. But stalking is quite clear: he suddenly appeared on my GA candidate page he never edited before, and reverted me twice.

Piotrus, that claim would have to be substantiated with some diffs and some prose--you know the score--and it would need to be in a different forum than my talk page, which, as you may know, is strictly a happy place, like an eternal summer of love where the drugs never run out and Jimi never dies. I would suppose that Sudo has a right, if they claim you are acting against consensus and all that, to look at your edits as they pertain to the matter at hand; right now I can't judge whether they did or not and again that's probably not a matter for discussion here.

(talk page stalker) Hey, 71, a few things. I think you might want to take a look at a policy about ownership of articles, or lack thereof. Nobody owns any particular article; you can't just tell people that they can't edit the page any more. That's not how it works, and that's certainly not how page protection works: if the article is protected from editing as a result of your report, it will be a full protection that locks everyone out of editing the article, including yourself. (Technically, it still wouldn't lock Drmies out, since as an admin, he is able to edit even fully-protected pages; the rules would prevent him from doing so, though, as he would be considered involved.) Editing disputes are resolved by hashing it out on the talk page (in this case, Talk:Summer of Love), not by making peremptory demands for people to stop "interfering". If talk page discussion doesn't work, then there are the various rungs on the dispute resolution ladder; DRN or 3O would probably be a good first step, should talk page discussion come to a standstill. But the point is that you can't just demand control of the article.

And as an aside, in at least his most recent edit to that page, Drmies was right; the external links he removed were indeed inappropriate, according to the guideline on external links. I'm not going to comment on the tone of the article; I'll let you literary professors work that out on your own.

Well now this IP is on a WP:CANVASS spree but I have no idea how he is choosing who to post to as most of the names have never edited that page. As to the 60s I certainly remember sitting in the Cooper Theatre to see 2001: A Space Odyssey (film) but I also remember my first viewing of Darby O'Gill and the Little People.

I think phrases such as that one pose a fascinating political-correctness quandary (though I've always thought about this in the context of its anti-Arab analogue). Normally if one decides to not use any slurs that don't apply to them, that's pretty much a bright-line rule (let's be honest - how many of you learned that term from WP:3RR?).

Drmies:

Please reconsider your decision to delete the article "Steve MacLean Public School". It is unclear why this article was deleted based on the results of the deletion discussion. This article was proposed for deletion on the concern that the school is "non-notable". Based on the arguments, the outcome of the discussion should have been a "keep". Firstly, some of the statements for deletion lacked substantive reasoning as to why the subject is not notable, which is inconsistent with current Wikipedia guidelines WP:JNN. According to Wikipedia guidelines, simply stating that the subject is "not notable" is not sufficient argument for deletion . Please also note that I made several modifications to the article and provided numerous counter-arguments supported by cited Wikipedia guidelines and policies, which addressed the concerns of the "delete" votes. Based on said guidelines and policies, the article fulfills the requirements for notability. Further, no additional comments in favour of deleting the article were added after my final statements supporting notability were posted. Although some may argue that elementary schools are "generally" not notable enough for their own Wikipedia articles, common sense must be exercised. Given the sheer number of articles on elementary schools currently published on Wikipedia, there are obviously exceptions to this general statement. It is respectfully requested that the deletion discussion be reviewed again, and the decision be reconsidered. Thank you. --Lfroms (talk) 01:57, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-21T01:57:00.000Z","author":"Lfroms","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Lfroms-2012-11-21T01:57:00.000Z-Steve_MacLean_Public_School","replies":["c-Drmies-2012-11-21T03:00:00.000Z-Lfroms-2012-11-21T01:57:00.000Z"]}}-->

• Dear Lfroms, thanks for your note. It must not be easy to see a bunch of Wikipedians combine to delete your article; for next time, you may consider going through WP:AFC, which is often helpful. Anyway, I looked at the discussion again, and at the article, and I see no reason to change the outcome. All editors but you said the article did not meet our guidelines, and the long and short of it is that there are no reliable sources outside of very local publications that discuss or even mention the school, and for a fairly regular elementary school to be notable that is a necessary thing. Now, it is true that a few editors (not all!) said "not notable", but while that is an argument to avoid, if it comes from seasoned editors like Eekster or Sue Rangell, I can only assume that they say so with good reason, and in this case, it seems to me, it is shorthand for "not notable since there are no reliable sources that prove that this school is notable by our guidelines". Now, the most exhaustive reasoning comes from Necrothesp, and I think they explain our policies and guidelines pretty well and why the school does not meet them at this point. Again, in a nutshell, no significant coverage.

  You have another option, of course: Wikipedia:Deletion review, but I urge you to have a careful look at WP:DRVPURPOSE before you consider listing it there: it may be a waste of time. At any rate, I hope I answered your question. If you are unsatisfied, you may have noted that there's a lot of folks who visit this page--feel free to tag any one of them, or just write, in all caps, "HEY YOU TALK PAGE STALKER PLEASE HAVE A LOOK", and they'll give you a second opinion, free of charge.

Your decision in the AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jill Kelley and your reasoning was rather shocking and abrupt to go with a "Delete" in spite of the fact that there were 28 Keep votes, vs 4 Delete votes (including the nominator) and 5 Redirects -- that is almost a two thirds majority to keep the article by a very wide and clear margin.
2. While the nominator presented his rationale however those editors who voted to Keep rejected his reasoning and gave a wide variety of good reasons based on WP policies to keep the article.
3. Please re-read all the rationales cited by the 28 Keep votes at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jill Kelley, it is too long to repeat them all again here.
4. This vote was not a "referendum" on the merits of WP:BLP1E, as you can see the majority of 28 editors who voted Keep clearly over-rode that and cited good reasons why the the subject is now WP:N and stands in it's own right as an important subject.
5. Furthermore, it is incomprehensible and deprecating when you cite your own "reasons" that would allow this article to remain "the moment she has a TV show and a movie contract we can undelete the history"??? Is that what is important to you??? Since when is having a "TV show" or a "movie contract" a criterion for notability???
6. You also claim that "in this day an age everything is widely covered" -- really??? How so??? Is this something so frivolous and unimportant in your eyes???
7. The absurdity of your assertions are self-evident, when this person, Jill Kelley now receives massive media scrutiny and more details emerge about her and her family's role/s in current US politics.
8. Jill Kelley has (1) ignited a massive operation by all the major US intelligence and spy agencies that went from tracking down who was cyber-stalking her to massive spy and FBI work to uncover what else was discovered from HER emails that ultimately involved and reached the top law enforcement officials of the USA and could have derailed the 2012 presidential race were it not held back by the spy-masters and law officers, (2) she has played a key role in bringing down the head of the CIA General David Petraeus -- they are suspected of having an affair of their own, (3) Jill Kelley was in heavy email and personal correspondence with the US Commander in Afghanistan John R. Allen and has wrecked his career and future prospects -- they are also suspected of having another affair of their own, (4) not to mention her role in undoing the life and work of Petraeus's official biographer Paula Broadwell as she (Jill Kelley) became the object of a fatal and fateful obsession for Paula Broadwell, that (5) also involved and then ruined the career of a senior FBI agent Frederick W. Humphries II now under investigation by the FBI, (6) and now as the American and world media digs deeper into Jill Kelley's web of connections with senior American politicians, including meetings at the White House, her and her family's life and web of connections are being scrutinized and reported, (7) She also had official clearance from the US State Department to be a "social ambassador" to the highest echelons of officers at CENTCOM one of America's most sensitive and secret operations, and she is an honorary consul for South Korea, proving her political value and connections that are still being investigated and emerging -- she ain't no ordinary "socialite"!
9. And all this is has only become public information since November 9th, 2012 when this story hit the headlines with Petraeus's resignation -- a mere 11 days ago yet you think it's somehow ok to make judgments now, in less than a week and not allowing this subject and article to develop based on the massive media coverage it's getting right now, and more US congressional hearings and investigations are sure to follow, as this is a major subject.
10. Consider these scenarios: (1) Imagine if only 11 days after the news of the Watergate break-in when the White House Plumbers were first getting media attention that the name of G. Gordon Liddy would be dismissed as not popular enough for a TV show at the time. He would never have qualified for a WP article. (2) Or imagine if only 11 days after the Lewinsky scandal broke into the news, that the name of Linda Tripp would not have made it to WP article status because she never got her own "TV Show", or (3) how about 11 days after the news broke about Mata Hari being suspected of being a spy in WWI, she would still not get a story because in her day there was still no "TV show" for her to do a show. Thus, the subject of Jill Kelley is a matter relating to US national security and reaches up to the highest echelons of political power regardless of how anyone may belittle, begrudge and basically not get it.
11. The article deserved to be left as a stub and under-construction with appropriate templates to indicate that, because it's part of a new unfolding story, but it was a lot better than that already when you decided to zap it.
12. It's not clear where you live and what your perspective of all this is, but in the USA this is a burning front-line major news-story -- as big as or bigger than a "TV story" and "movie contract" (your criteria) -- and Jill Kelley is at the heart of it.

Thank you for your prompt action and UN-deletion of the Jill Kelley article.

• Thanks for what, IZAK? You didn't actually ask me anything--you're just telling me I'm wrong, masked by an overuse of question marks. FWIW, I live in a solid red state, with not a single Democrat in an elected office at the state level. Whether that means I live firmly in the heartland or completely out of the mainstream, that's probably a matter of opinion.

• Hi Drmies, thanks for being a good sport. Sometimes a writer may use rhetorical questions as part of rhetorical speech that helps in many forms of intellectual inquiry. It's a philosophic tradition derived from the Socratic method and Dialectical reasoning as well as from Talmudic Pilpul. And it's the best way to get to the bottom of things in a logical and rational manner. Your patience is much appreciated. Thanks again (it's often polite to say thanks as a form of parting and salutation).

There was a clear consensus that 1) the event (the scandal) was significant and 2) the individual's role within it was substantial and well-documented (as per all the RS describing Kelley's role as "central" or "at the center"; - I would think the deletionists could have come up with A) at least one source describing her role as peripheral or B) a string of stories about the scandal that make no mention of Kelley beyond her name or C) an absence of any standalone "who is Jill Kelley?" stories about the subject) which means that the conditions for a deletion with a BLP1E rationale are not satisfied. The admin verdict is nonetheless delete, thereby making less information readily available to some future historian. A clear consensus was established (in this case more than 2 to 1 in favour of a keep) and the closing admin dismissed that because apparently the community does not run Wikipedia. When the community verdict is as lopsided as this and can still be overriden, I would request that the time of myself and others not be wasted by conducting these reviews in the first place. These same admins typically then later complain that the community doesn't have enough respect for what they do. I would think it obvious that respect is a two way street.--Brian Dell (talk) 22:39, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-23T22:39:00.000Z","author":"Bdell555","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Bdell555-2012-11-23T22:39:00.000Z-Neutralhomer-2012-11-22T02:23:00.000Z","replies":["c-Beyond_My_Ken-2012-11-24T01:43:00.000Z-Bdell555-2012-11-23T22:39:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Brian Dell"}}-->

This is not Deletion Review, it's one person's talk page. If you haven't already you should make your arguments at DR. If the community agrees with you, they will overturn the deletion. If not, then the community will have decided that the decision to delete was proper - but it is, contrary to your assertion, the community which will have the last word, not any one admin.

The community does not always have the last word. In the last dispute I was involved in concerning the bio of a person involved in this "scandal," I was repeatedly told by an admin that "the community does not have the power to reverse."

On 23 November 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hetty Blok, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Dutch singer and actress Hetty Blok (pictured), best known as nurse Klivia on the TV show Ja zuster, nee zuster (1966–68), sang the theme song on television again in 2010, at age 90? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hetty Blok. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

I noticed in a discussion recently that you told another editor to stop tagging articles you wrote and try writing one yourself. In case you forgot here is a link to the discussion. I fond this appalling conduct for any editor and you as an admin should know better. Its comments like this, that have made me stop editing articles on WP. You do not have that right to tell another editor to stop editing your articles. You do not own them. Also, adding the orphan tag is allowed. If you have a problem with it, then start a discussion and change the rules. Don't start railing on an editor for abusing AWB's rules of use when the rules aren't abused. If this continues to be a problem I will bring it up at ANI. Kumioko (talk)

Meh, for someone who's "retired", you sure do get around and mostly to stir up trouble. I've looked at the link of the discussion, and, frankly, it's a tempest in a teapot. Appalling? Such strong language. When editors are doing silly things, it's not at all uncommon to tell them to stop and try doing something productive like editing or creating articles.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:30, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-24T16:30:00.000Z","author":"Bbb23","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Bbb23-2012-11-24T16:30:00.000Z-Stop_being_combative","replies":["c-Kumioko-2012-11-24T16:48:00.000Z-Bbb23-2012-11-24T16:30:00.000Z"]}}-->

Bbb23, I don't think I have ever interacted with you but just to clarify, I'm not just stirring trouble. If I have commemnted its because some editor has likely either violated policy or is interpreting policy in some clever way as to support their own position and it doesn't really coincide with the actual meaning. Back to the point at hand though. Regardless of what the editor did or didn't do, editors should not be telling them not to edit articles they created. That violates the very principle of the project not to mention the pillars and policy. Since he is on admin he should know better and yes it is appalling. Strong language or not, he has been here long enough and has the role of admin so he should know better. For what its worth I changed my status to Semi retired earlier. I am going to be editing at Simple now and I need to be able to interact here. Also, I do not believe the editor was in the wrong. He added a tag, if you or Drmies has a problem with that tag, then take it up on the templates talk page or submit it for deletion if you must. But the editor has the right to add it whether you like it personally or not. Personally I think the Orphan tag is pointless and unneeded and have commented as such in the past. If you have any other comments please feel free to direct them to my talk page.

Kumioko, I'm trying hard to remember who you are, so I can figure out why you would appear out of the blue to berate me, with the threat of dragging me to ANI (good luck, by the way). What are you, a knight in shining armor? Read what I wrote on the AWB talk page--well, you have, no doubt, since you seem to have a special interest in my edits--where it is quite clear: using AWB (and, btw, marking it as minor) to do nothing but add an orphan tag is not OK. That is not my interpretation of policy or anything like that, it is my opinion as an editor and a creator of content. I do not like people who do little but run their bots adding tags without doing a damn thing to actually improve the article.

Oh, I see now that your name is mentioned in my talk page archive in relation to an edit war that got you blocked; I'll have a look later. In the meantime, well, I think you know.

Actually our interactions in the past were positive so it rather surprised me when you made the comments and took the position you did on the template in question. No I am absolutely not a Knight, more like Shrek in fact. I used to have a positive attitude and reputation but that was destroyed in Feb of this year by an overzealous admin and a bad decision to block me for trying to uphold 3RR and article ownership (2 issues where I have been a strong advocate) so now I just state things plainly without trying to be politically correct. Apparently its more important to block a positive contributor for making a snide comment than to uphold the rules when an editor actually violated the policy. If you had any background on the case you would have seen that the other user, Markvs88 (who hasn't edited since May) was the one who violated article ownership multiple times and 3RR twice but wasn't blocked. That's what I had a major problem with. I also don't think taking you to ANI would have much affect other than to bring the issue to light to a larger audience, but I do not have any faith in the process. Your also misreading the comments at AWB. Marking it as minor was something that should have been done but it still doesn't justify the comments you made to the editor. You also seem to indicate that the user used a bot. He didn't and AWB isn't a bot, its a tool, just like twinkle or the admin tools.

Drmies makes a valid point. Slapping a defacing tag on an article as part of a mass edit is not a trivial matter and should not be undertaken lightly. It actually destroys the article visually and therefore should be undertaken with caution. Especially in the case of semi-automated edits like AWB there is the temptation to mass-tag articles and this can destroy due care which should always be excercised by all editors prior to tagging. The first reaction should be: How can I help this article not be an orphan? Not I'll place a semi-automated article-destroying tag and I'll let the suckers find the link to fix it. The ethics behind such a way of thinking are flawed. I get this all the time. From Judith Donath that was marked for PROD because of a lack of a prior search in GBooks which I converted to a DYK in about a day's time and more recently at Maple Syrup: See this and Maple syrup: Revision history. It is always far easier to tag than do the homework required to prevent it or fix the underlying problem. But this creates two classes of editors: The overlords who quickly tag and the peons who do the hard work cleaning up the mess left by the tagging. Somehow I find this flawed and not smacking too much of an equitable way of wiki collaboration.

(edit conflict × 3) Yes, well your maple syrup example is a little off however Dr K (not that I disagree with your principle of it being better to fix than tag, and easier to tag than fix). Maple syrup is a featured article, and the citation for the uniqueness of the flavour noted by a culinary expert was cited in the Food and nutrition section below. Now we have a featured article with nine citations at the end of the lead, which is almost as ugly as a {{who}} tag...but I digress, this is somewhat off topic.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 17:56, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-24T17:56:00.000Z","author":"Kelapstick","type":"comment","level":8,"id":"c-Kelapstick-2012-11-24T17:56:00.000Z-Dr.K.-2012-11-24T17:42:00.000Z","replies":["c-Dr.K.-2012-11-24T18:02:00.000Z-Kelapstick-2012-11-24T17:56:00.000Z","c-Dr.K.-2012-11-24T18:19:00.000Z-Kelapstick-2012-11-24T17:56:00.000Z"]}}-->

Would it be too much to cut these nine top-notch references and paste them into the main body? Not that this would prevent another IP from tagging the same spot on the lead once you remove the refs.

By the way there was a discrepancy between the lead and the main body of Maple Syrup. The lead was talking about "culinary experts" but the body was only referring to a single expert.

Yes, I had seen that. I personally hate the orphan tag, and mass-tagging in general, but for a featured article (notwithstanding the discrepancy in the number of experts) it is fairly easy to just revert the addition of the tag and note that typically the lead of an article will not have references in it at all. Will someone tag it again, possibly, but that isn't a reason to add a reference to the lead (in particular if the rest of it isn't cited).

Folks where getting a bit off topic here. I don't think anyone disagrees that the tags are ugly and defacing. I have voted myself to make them less obtrusive but consensus says that the big tags are preferred whether we like them or not. The point here is that an editor and an admin, told another editor not to edit their articles. That is inappropriate no matter what other arguments are present. As I mentioned before if there is a problem with these templates then that needs to be brought up in the appropriate venue. Not starting statements of AWB abuse and editor ineptitude.

(ecx3)They are incomprehensible to the majority of editors here but I understand them being a fairly well educated individual (a couple Masters degrees and a few certificates but not a PHD yet). In all seriousness and not trying to instigate anything I think a lot of users will confuse you with a former editor known as Delta, Beta and several other things who is currently on a one yer ban.

I am sorry but I will have to disagree with your broad statement: They are incomprehensible to the majority of editors here This is an encyclopaedia after all, not grade school, so I actually assume the vast majority of the editors here are very familiar with the Greek scientific alphabet.

Well, I asked the AWB tagger not to tag any more articles I wrote in the way they did. I guess Brian Dell, whom I have not had the pleasure of being introduced to, takes that as a claim of ownership, in the way that "it's a useless edit" gets turned into "I'm an admin and you're abusing AWB."

Plus to tell you the truth I would actually trade one hundred ownership claims for an easily avoidable tag anyday. Ownership claims don't deface articles. Careless tags do.

Check this shit out: this edit is described as a kind of manipulation on WP:DRN--because it will force the edit-warrior to continue their edit war manually. Well, if I don't get dragged off to ANI today, then Dispute resolution and Deletion review are the only two boards my name is being dragged through the mud. I think I'm going to log out for a while.

• Well, Kumioko, I find this stuff bothersome, and Dr. K. and Kelapstick agree with me, so I got two Ks on my side (that's a joke). Uncle G points out we need something written, something fairly important. So I write it, and spend what, 45 minutes on it. Some other person who, for all I know, doesn't know how to spell "content", comes along and tags it: look at their history--it took them half a minute. And they can't be bothered to actually do anything--all they do is click a button. Maybe two, I don't know. So this editor gets pissed and leaves them a relatively friendly message; next thing you know there's a fucking shit storm and someone comes out of retirement saying Stop being combative without even a fucking "please" in there, and threatens with ANI. That's just great. And no, I'm not saying the user uses a bot--I'm saying those edits are for all practical purpose automated. Acting in a bot-like manner is acting like a bot--that's what the Turing test is for. Did I say "this is abusing AWB"? Kumioko, you have a right to your opinion as much as I do, but this has nothing to do with political correctness: it's poor manners on your part: "Stop being combative." Whatever.

You can be mad at me that's quite alright. I wasn't the one showing inappropriate article ownership, I wasn't the one showing a lack of AGF and I wasn't the one telling an editor they were abusing AWB. I definately wasn't the one who told an editor not to edit pages I created anymore. I was the one, telling an editor and an admin who should know better, that they were acting inappropriately and should know better. If that's a problem for you, then frankly that's just tough shit.

• [ec] One more thing, Kumioko. You have done an enormous amount of good work here, and you clearly know what it's like to create articles: you have written a great many of them. I don't rightly understand why you'd come down on me, and twist my comments into "admin says editor X is abusing AWB" when I said no such thing. I gave my application of item 4 in this particular case, that's it, as an editor and a writer. I understand also that you are greatly frustrated by a bunch of things on Wikipedia, and I probably share many of your frustrations. But I'm not your enemy. If you thought so, you wouldn't be here, still editing after you've more or less given up.

If I may, I had the misfortune to encounter similarly rude behavior from this user a little while back and it was abundantly clear at that time that their attitude towards admins is just sour grapes.

Don't forget about this one! Other than the simple fact that not having access to the tools makes it extremely difficult to do a lot of things I am interested in doing like editing protected templates and blocking vandals and a variety of other things I'm actually not upset about the admin thing. If I had the tools I would have to be much more careful and deliberate in how and what I said. But that's clearly not going to happen. What I am upset about is that I have a number of individuals (a consensus it seems) including yourself saying I cannot be trusted with the tools and yet we have admins making comments and showing behavior like the ones that started this discussion. Or the actions of a certain admin that will go unnamed trying to get everyone blocked/banned, or any number of other things. Then people get behind them and say or infer that its different because they are admins. No it is not, it is much worse. What I also find annoying is when an editor or admin tries to discredit me by saying I don't like admins. Actually I have a lot of Wiki friends that are admins, the problems lie when some admins let the toolset go to their head and think they are above reproach and cannot be questioned or called out when they make a bad call. Your right though I can be rude, sometimes without intention and sometimes on purpose. I used to be much more careful in what and how I said stuff. For years I did that and we all know what that got me don't we. Nothing and treated like shit for trying to improve the pedia. So now, there is no reason to sugar coat things here.

I am used to seeing your name in various places. At first, everything was good. However, for quite a long time your name seems to pop up in discussions where a lot of people disagree with you. It takes quite a strong personality to not see that there may be a problem, and that it may not be with those in the majority. The idea that Drmies needs to be told to stop being combative is among the sillier suggestions I have seen at Wikipedia, and demonstrates a need for a long wikibreak.

(edit conflict) Folks, I do not really understand what the furore is here. We have two people interacting wrt an article and the use of AWB at that article. The use of AWB by one side of that discussion has been repeatedly questioned by several other contributors, in relation to other articles and for a variety of reasons. We also have - on this specific page - two people who are arguing the toss about ownership and who may or may not have a bit of history between them. Given that neiher of the latter two seem really to have a disagreement regarding the whys and wherefores of templating articles, this appears to boil down to an issue of whether someone's attitude was correct in an isolated incident. No-one is ever going to agree about that and it is never going to be a matter worthy of the drama boards etc. So why don't we all just drop it? I am sure that both parties will have learned something from this thread in terms of how others perceive things, and I am sure that what they have learned will form a part of their subconscious for future reference. The rest is just a storm in a teacup related to phrasing etc. Get over it. Or, as we say in my part of the world, "bollocks to it". - Sitush (talk) 00:54, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-25T00:54:00.000Z","author":"Sitush","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Sitush-2012-11-25T00:54:00.000Z-Johnuniq-2012-11-25T00:50:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "Ruba'i article". Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you!

Guide for participants If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form. What this noticeboard is: It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction. What this noticeboard is not: It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct. It is not a place to discuss disputes that are already under discussion at other dispute resolution forums. It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN. It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy. Things to remember: Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors. Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion. Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page. Sign and date your posts with four tildes "~~~~". If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage.

Could you decide if EXO is a sub-unit or not? They never recorded a single or somethng like that together, they are officially just two groups who work in 2 different contries. Exo-M in China and Exo-K in Korea. I'm not sure what the definition is for a sub-unit.

Well, you picked a tough nut. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Iqra Nadeem doesn't give me much reason to believe she is notable--some local performances and college awards don't usually add up to notability. There's two references but they aren't linked to anything online, and if all they verify is her job with CLM then that's no help either. I searched using Google News but nothing shows up. If she has a Facebook page then I saw her left eye, which is very pretty, but I see no basis for an article anywhere.

The BLP board threads sometimes just fizzle out and go away--there doesn't seem to be a requirement that they are resolved. But I'd say that more text is not necessarily better: long sections of texts make a thread less inviting to other editors. Realize also that I have no special powers there, and that the board is for drawing the attention of other editors who may or may not back you up; it's not for generating rock solid decisions.

I think you (and probably MF and a few others) and I differ a bit on the admin thing. I don't believe in a typical dishonesty that comes with the job, and I like to think that I would have said that before I got the bit. There's only a few that I would consider to be rotten apples--ScottyWong, for instance, I do not consider one though I usually disagree with him. If someone were to call me a sheep I probably couldn't really contest that, but I've been here a few years and found that the good outweighs the bad, and the good ones outweigh the bad ones. Ed17, for instance, is physically a lightweight but I respect his authority and judgment; that's not an easy thing for me to say about the whippersnapper! There's other things to do for me than to look for screw-ups. I was unaware, for instance, that PumpkinSky had left. Who's gonna look after the boy scouts now?

The history of Precious was like this: when I realised that PumpkinSky was Rlevse, I remembered that he had made my day, saying I was an awesome Wikipedian and Peace. I picked up the idea and created Precious, passing it irregularly. Then Teh Community found out, he was blocked, I gave Precious to him thinking I would never hear from him again (like BarkingMoon). But I was wrong, and we worked on a return, you did CCI review, so got Precious, possibly with others the same day. At some point I started looking for a recipient every day one a day, also I started to call it PumpkinSky Prize, at least internally. - Now he went through a RfA that was termed "attack page" in the middle of it. See above, - I stay ;) - Thanks for talking to him, even if it will not change things!

I saw you removed an external link to one of Shadia's notable videos, citing 'not a directory'. I was wondering, however, if I could use that link in a reference after the sentence where the video is discussed in the body. Mansour's first single, "Al Kufiya Arabiya (The Kufiya is Arab)," featured rapper M-1 of dead prez and lyrics emphasizing the kufiya's role as a symbol of Arab nationalism. I suppose it would be a primary source, although it would also just be a way for a reader to find the video which is being discussed. Thoughts?

I figured I should drop a courtesy note here to elaborate. The article in question was originally created (by me) from a huge body of unsubstantiated/probably unverifiable amount of spamcruft that had been added to the Tanka article by writers of "tanka in English" who wished to promote their work. I created this page as a compromise, primarily to save the Japanese tanka article from that volume of spam. However, every single sentence of the article is essentially little more than an advertisement for a (likely non-notable) literary publication, and if any of it can be verified in secondary sources it should be. I considered deleting the whole "History" section and requesting that sources be cited in order to include statements like those, but that would be even more extreme. Since "tanka in English" (as opposed to English translations of Japanese waka and tanka) are hardly if ever discussed in sources outside the small sub-culture that has built up around them, the article itself may not meet WP:GNG and might be deleted at some stage, but at the moment I don't feel like arguing that. The fact that the talk page was being monitored by two editors, one of whom has obvious WP:COI issues and the other of whom appears to be an inclusionist on principle, means that I have been unable up until now to discuss the issues facing the article in any meaningful way, and it seemed a choice between outright deletion of every statement without a citation, and requesting a citation for every statement. elvenscout742 (talk) 04:48, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-29T04:48:00.000Z","author":"Elvenscout742","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Elvenscout742-2012-11-29T04:48:00.000Z-Re:Your_edits_to_Tanka_in_English","replies":["c-Drmies-2012-11-29T04:54:00.000Z-Elvenscout742-2012-11-29T04:48:00.000Z","c-Drmies-2012-11-29T04:56:00.000Z-Elvenscout742-2012-11-29T04:48:00.000Z","c-Drmies-2012-11-29T04:59:00.000Z-Elvenscout742-2012-11-29T04:48:00.000Z","c-Drmies-2012-11-29T05:21:00.000Z-Elvenscout742-2012-11-29T04:48:00.000Z"]}}--> Hmmm.

I accidentally reverted your rewritings, and was in the process of reinstating them (it's difficult to partially reinstate old edits) before you re-reverted me. The article is an unreadable mess filled with unreliable misinformation whether or not my tags are there. Anyway, please don't take this comment as trying to start a debate; I generally agree with you on the substance. The age of the publications seems irrelevant, though, since it's not entirely clear if any of them actually exist, at least in the manner in which they are discussed in the article. The "Imperial Poetry Contest" (no Japanese name given) is unfamiliar to me, but it seems like this entire section may be discussing irrelevant Japanese-language tanka written by foreigners. The user who wrote a lot of this is a self-publisher who has a habit of writing/publishing poorly-researched, non-academic articles outside Wikipedia. The other COISPA who has been blocking me from making substantial edits to the article up until now, for instance, wrote a previous article in which he retroactively applied his own made-up neologism to numerous publications over the last thousand years, but that didn't make it any less OR. elvenscout742 (talk) 05:15, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-29T05:15:00.000Z","author":"Elvenscout742","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Elvenscout742-2012-11-29T05:15:00.000Z-Drmies-2012-11-29T04:59:00.000Z","replies":[]}}--> Lady, I'm finding a couple of things and am trimming more.

If you didn't get the e-mail (I haven't used that feature before, so I'm not sure how reliable it is) tell me here and I'll try re-sending it. I have it saved on my hard drive anyway. My problem with "tanka in English" with respect to translations continues to be that many of said translations are not "tanka" in that they have a lot more or less than 5 lines, and the translators don't use the word "tanka" itself (often preferring "waka", etc.). One example that comes to mind is McMillan's One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each: A Translation of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, which is so important it received a back-translation into Japanese, where the poems are called English-poem translations (英詩訳, eishi-yaku), as opposed to waka or tanka.[12] "Waka in English" is also problematic in that it essentially means "Japanese-language (as opposed to Chinese) poetry". If we take the title of the article as "Tanka in English" but freely include discussion of translations within the body, we have no problem, however. elvenscout742 (talk) 07:01, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-11-29T07:01:00.000Z","author":"Elvenscout742","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Elvenscout742-2012-11-29T07:01:00.000Z-Drmies-2012-11-29T06:21:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2012-11-29T15:13:00.000Z-Elvenscout742-2012-11-29T07:01:00.000Z"]}}--> Thanks for your note.

The point was not an content dispute but that the edit summary was deliberately misleading, including the claim by User:Kierzek the text is "correct cited text". Most likely the actual error has slipped into the text sometime earlier but I am wondering why User:Kierzek insists it is the correct text. As of the source given, I do not have it available and without further evidence I am strongly inclined to think it does not contain the nonsense that is in the text now.

But two administrators and one veteran editor thought it best to discuss it on the talk page, and I'm just following their lead. Moreover, I also don't see any evidence of any deliberate misleading. The IP's edit summary was all too brief ("rm misconception") and reverting unexplained changes is hardly ever deliberately misleading.

Moreover despite not having read the alleged source I dare to claim it does not contain this nonsense. I have asked the user for clarification how he could regard that as "the correct text".
