'''FP1''': Oh indeed, you are sir. You are aware of WP:FRINGE sir? |

</small> |
|||
'''Ed''': Erm, that's about in depth theories which refute mainstream "scientific" opinion, this piece is a Biography and I've only mentioned that he has notable views on this and that, but not in depth and the details of his stuff aren't actually refuted. |
|||
'''Fringe Policeman No2''': I just added them. |
|||
'''FP1''': So you see, sir... your subject ''is'' a bit of fringe artist. |
|||
'''Ed''': But no reliable sources say he is, your just comparing his outcome and saying it doesn't agree, look you've even misquoted the sources when you added his views. |
|||
'''FP2''': Please don't make personal attacks, sir. |
|||
'''Ed''': I'm not making a personal attack, your edit is not representing the sources. |
|||
'''FP1''': Well we say it is, so that's an end to that. |
|||
'''Ed''': (spends two hours correcting the text to better represent the sources and finally presses "save") |
|||
'''FP1''': (to FP2) Did you see that? |
|||
'''FP2''': (to FP1) Yeah, if no one else reverts it in half an hour, I'll revert with "take to talk" or some shit. |
|||
'''FP1''': (to FP2) Cool dude. |
|||
'''Ed''': Look, your whole premise is wrong guys. |
|||
'''FP1''' and '''FP2''' in unison: No it's not. |
|||
'''Ed''': If you hadn't added the views, there wouldn't have even been a problem. |
|||
'''FP2''': So, you admit there's a problem then sir, well we are making progress. |
|||
'''Ed''': No I didn't mean that, I meant you created the problem in the first place. |
|||
'''FP2''': Look, sonny, I've told you before about making personal attacks. |
|||
'''Ed''': You've found the subject saying this thing in one source alone and are making a big thing out of it, this is a Biography for goodness sake, the view isn't even important! |
|||
'''FP1''': He's saying things that could damage people, that's important. |
|||
'''FP2''': It's a reliable source, and a view that cannot be denied to be his. |
|||
'''Ed''': So quote him fairly then. |
|||
'''FP1''': We don't need all that detail, sir, a ''summary'' will do. (snickers) |
|||
'''Ed''': So you're saying it's not got much detail, then how come your applying WP:FRINGE, that says it's about articles that go into detail and it doesn't by your own admission. |
|||
'''FP2''': Don't get all semantic on us, sonny, or you'll find yourself blocked for edit warring. |
|||
'''FP1''': I don't like your tone, and it sounds familiar, I'm filing a sock puppet report right now. |
|||
'''FP2''': (to FP1) I'll report him for edit warring. |
|||
'''FP1''': (into radio) Base, I've got another kook for the notice board, we've done the preliminaries but it might need watching in case any of his kooky friends show up and try taking out any of our official fringe policing stuff. |

I'm sure that's a jab at someone and I don't know the whole situation, nor do I want to get involved but I must say, that play is really funny.

I mean, that person should be writing (if they are not already). The satire is superb. The humor is fantastic. Really. It's absolutely hilarious. I would read stuff by that person.

==Unreferenced BLPs== |

[[File:Information.svg|30px]] Hello Wiki alf! Thank you for your contributions. I am a [[WP:BOT|bot]] alerting you that '''7''' of the articles that you created are tagged as[[Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Sources| Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons]]. The [[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]] policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure [[WP:VERRIFY|verifiability]], all biographies should be based on [[WP:RELIABLE|reliable sources]]. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current ''[[:Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs|{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}}]]'' article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{tl|unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list: |
|||
# [[Derek Morris]] - <small>{{findsources|Derek Morris}}</small> |

# [[Robert Beddard]] - <small>{{findsources|Robert Beddard}}</small> |

Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:File:The Sky at Night.jpg]]'''. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to [[:File:The Sky at Night.jpg|the file description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|fair use rationale]]. |
|||
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/Wiki alf|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

== Replaceable fair use File:Remembrance Sunday.jpg == |
|||
[[File:Ambox warning.svg|32px|left]] |
|||
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Remembrance Sunday.jpg]]'''. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please: |
|||
# Go to [[:File:Remembrance Sunday.jpg|the media description page]] and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original replaceable fair use template'''. |
|||
# On [[File talk:Remembrance Sunday.jpg|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all. |
|||
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself. |
|||
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=Wiki_alf&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]].

Following a [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/suspend sysop rights of inactive admins|community discussion]] in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]] and the userright will be restored per the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Resysopping|re-sysopping process]] (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. <!-- Template:Inactive admin -->[[User:RL0919|RL0919]] ([[User talk:RL0919|talk]]) 22:25, 9 July 2011 (UTC) |

I was reading the [[Little Walter]] article. (a random pick) I was immediately shocked by the utter oozing of POV cruft in the second paragraph of the article.<small>it's REALLY shitty!... pardon my adjectiviciousness</small> I clicked on edit to attempt a sheening but discover... buried in the "edit this page" someone has added some <nowiki><!--Hidden --></nowiki> text with some mild rants and demandments concerning the articles content... which I will assume is a naighty no-no. I backed out of edit(<small>CLUCK</small>) and reviewed the articles edit history. It seemed to be edited fairly frequently by some repeating IP ranges. No real edit wars. But someone does have some invested 'editor interest' in it. Just wondering what your take on it may be.

An editor has been trying(for quite a while) to add an improperly licensed/sourced image to the [[Richie Sambora]] article. This was the original attempt. <nowiki>[[Image:Richie main plz.jpg]]</nowiki>. Now all of a sudden... the image gets added again... only this time its called <nowiki>[[Image:Richie Sambora O2.jpg]]</nowiki> . And this time it's been dropped onto Commons by a user named "JoannaRudd" who, as you can guess, has never contributed anything to Commons before. The first one claims the source is "richierocksmyworld" whatever that is? And the second one claims self-made. The dubious origins of this leads me to thinks that something shady may be afoot. Perhaps you could draw the attention of one of your Commons comrades to look further into this and see that nothing smells with Sambora(<small>other than his music... did I say that? :D </small>) [[User:156.34.221.39|156.34.221.39]] 23:35, 15 September 2007 (UTC) |

== So here's a question... == |
|||
==Orphaned non-free image File:Sacrifice (album).jpg== |
|||
Can a consensus be established/proved/supported... based on the edit history of the article itself? Say, for instance... a minority of people try and add a small token of cruftness to an article... But the edit history of the article clearly shows that a whopping abundance of the articles regular editors do not want the tiny token of cruftness added to the article. Can that overwhelming number of rv's in the articles edit history be used to create/promote a consensus view for the way that article is to be maintained?

:I guess you're asking about flags and a particular admin who used an edit summary of 'take it to talk to seek consensus'. In this instance I'd count up in the last n months n people put it in n people took it out, note this on the talk page alongside a verbose outline (like all the peeps are English, no other confusion on locations so no real need to emphasise locality) and leave it at that. Having said that I abandoned an article yesterday on which I am sick and tired of trying to get editors to see sense on, last version I saw was still vandalised, but I've cut my attachment to it, resigning myself to allowing the crap to creep in, I'll stay saner that way.--[[User:Wiki_alf|Alf]] <sup><font color="green">[[User_talk:Wiki_alf|melmac]]</font></sup> 06:20, 17 September 2007 (UTC) |

== A different kind of question == |
|||
==Orphaned non-free image File:Snake Bite Love.jpg== |
|||
An infrequent IP stuffed a db-copyvio} tag on the [[Hard rock]] page. I tried to look at the page the article was supposedly copied from but it does not load fully for me. The test loads and, after a brief read I couldn't find any dupe text so I rm'd the tag as trolling. A second read showed that there was one little paragraph(the one about "confusion" is hard rock heavy metal, is heavy metal hard rock yang yang yang...) and noticed there was a similarity. That external webpage seems to be someone's sort of homemade music essay. It is an absolutely ATROSHISH writing and if it were a Wiki article it would ben hacked and tagged to death. It is my thinking that any dupe of text is probably a reverse copy-vio with the external page author(an 8 year old girl??? :D ) likely lifting the Wiki content to his/her own page. Like I said I can't get the whole page to load so I can't see anymore that the text itself(which should have been written in crayon :D ). When you get the chance could you peruse and see what you think. Thanks. [[User:156.34.208.227|156.34.208.227]] 10:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC) |

I haven't requested any assistance from you in quite a while. Just so's ya thought I was not drifting around I thought I would hit you up for an opinion/solution/intervention. A Led Zep fansite-type webmaster hes been quite active lately trying to add his webpage to LZ related articles. He appears as a different IP everyday so they're hard to catch.<small> rotten anons!!! :D </small> It's hardly worth DMOZ'ing every single LZ page. This fansite'r is fairly busy and expands his linking well beyond EN-Wiki. I've seen it in many different languages. Hard to watch them all. I thought it might be worth handing it off to Mr Shadowbot to auto-turf it whenever it shows up? This is the fansite link [http://www.vjez.com]. Your thoughts?... is it worth blacklisting? Can it be "cross-country" BL'd? [[User:156.34.142.110|156.34.142.110]] 16:17, 24 September 2007 (UTC) |

::I'm the "ghost" you're looking for: I'm in Wiki Italy as Luketheduke so I'm not hard to "catch". My different IP are not my choice is the provider itself. If you've anything to say, please let me know. About the site I'm trying to let the people know about, it's easy to explain. I'm a Led Zep collector since many years and to my knowledge I never found a LZ discography useful for a collector. I found hundreds of site and list of illegal items (= bootlegs) but never a good one for official releases. So, after almost three years of hard working I collected enough knowledge to start one. I've been in contact with the biggest and well known LZ collectors worldwide so they give me a strong support. Now that the site is in a good starting point I decided to start promoting = let the people know about it because there'll be more to do about additions, corrections and more. My work is about worldwide discographies of albums, singles, cd and cds of LZ plus each member activity. Before "promoting" I signed to wiki italy and I did what I've to: understand. I read the wiki rules first more than once, in different languages too, and I've seen that there are different interpretations of what is an acceptable link and what is not. I'm pretty sure that most of the "generalist" sites included are not acceptable because they are not updated, they do sell items (even illegal) and are 100% commercial, they are not a plus for such a "pedia" like wiki. You can find those sites using any search engine ... Anywaym, the last word about my LZ discography is only one: it's unique! there's nothing on the web and also on books!!! so, is it important or interesting to a LZ newbie or a completist? Ok, if you've that knowledge and you understand what's interesting or not to a LZ fan, ok you're the master: c'mon kill me. It doesn't matter, you know the rules better than what it's written and you know what is ok or not but don't say that it's what the readers want or they are looking for. Sorry about this wasting of time, I thought this was the right place to share my knowledge and my passion. Thanks Luke <br>p.s.

Hi there. I notice that you started the article for Motorhead's '92 Tour EP. One thing that I couldn't get from the article was whether the tracks on the EP were live versions or whether they are the same recordings that can be found on the studio albums.

I am the user you are referring to, and as per comments left on my talk page, it is not spam - and I don't live in Camberly.

This was obviously an oversight you on your part, so I naturally forgive you. Below that it shows my reverse DNS as being cpc2-bedn1-0-0-cust571.lutn.cable.ntl.com. bedn refers to Bedford.

Since I am CDN which means I speak a variation of both en-GB and en-US I cannot place a valid arguement in either direction other than Wikipedia concensus for groups of GB origin..

I've never quite followed the "he was born/raised in England... but his parents weren't" so he's not "English" he's British" It almost looks like some sort of ethnic cleansing the way some editors go at each other on other articles. Explain this to me... if you have the time that is. I would really like to know. For us... if a family moves to Canada from.. say... Botswana... and the become Canuck citizenry... and then they have children... those children are officially Canucks. This whole British/English?-Great Britain/United Kingdom?... what rules apply?

The article [[:Fortune Features]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]] because of the following concern: |
|||
==[[Florida Atlantic University]]== |
|||
<blockquote>'''Fails the [[WP:NCORP|notability guideline for companies]]. Doesn't appear to have notable filmography either: ''[[The Living Matrix]]'' has an article but the sourcing seems dubious and it does not mention Fortune Features, so I don't favour a redirect. Couldn't find any sources better than [https://arsiv.sabah.com.tr/2006/10/06/cp/gnc104-20061001-102.html]. Some COI editing apparent.'''</blockquote> |
|||
I noticed you were one of the primary contributors to the [[Oriel College, Oxford]] article. I'm having Florida Atlantic University undergo a peer review before taking it to [[WP:FAC]]. Since you are familiar with the process I was wondering if you would mind taking a look at the article?

A Play in One Act
[edit]Fringe Policeman No1: Good evening, Sir
Editor: (Tries to ignore FP1)
FP1: I see you're writing about someone who has a view.
Ed: Am I?
FP1: Oh indeed, you are sir. You are aware of WP:FRINGE sir?
Ed: Erm, that's about in depth theories which refute mainstream "scientific" opinion, this piece is a Biography and I've only mentioned that he has notable views on this and that, but not in depth and the details of his stuff aren't actually refuted.
Fringe Policeman No2: I just added them.
FP1: So you see, sir... your subject is a bit of fringe artist.
Ed: But no reliable sources say he is, your just comparing his outcome and saying it doesn't agree, look you've even misquoted the sources when you added his views.
FP2: Please don't make personal attacks, sir.
Ed: I'm not making a personal attack, your edit is not representing the sources.
FP1: Well we say it is, so that's an end to that.
Ed: (spends two hours correcting the text to better represent the sources and finally presses "save")
FP1: (to FP2) Did you see that?
FP2: (to FP1) Yeah, if no one else reverts it in half an hour, I'll revert with "take to talk" or some shit.
FP1: (to FP2) Cool dude.
Ed: Look, your whole premise is wrong guys.
FP1 and FP2 in unison: No it's not.
Ed: If you hadn't added the views, there wouldn't have even been a problem.
FP2: So, you admit there's a problem then sir, well we are making progress.
Ed: No I didn't mean that, I meant you created the problem in the first place.
FP2: Look, sonny, I've told you before about making personal attacks.
Ed: You've found the subject saying this thing in one source alone and are making a big thing out of it, this is a Biography for goodness sake, the view isn't even important!
FP1: He's saying things that could damage people, that's important.
FP2: It's a reliable source, and a view that cannot be denied to be his.
Ed: So quote him fairly then.
FP1: We don't need all that detail, sir, a summary will do. (snickers)
Ed: So you're saying it's not got much detail, then how come your applying WP:FRINGE, that says it's about articles that go into detail and it doesn't by your own admission.
FP2: Don't get all semantic on us, sonny, or you'll find yourself blocked for edit warring.
FP1: I don't like your tone, and it sounds familiar, I'm filing a sock puppet report right now.
FP2: (to FP1) I'll report him for edit warring.
FP1: (into radio) Base, I've got another kook for the notice board, we've done the preliminaries but it might need watching in case any of his kooky friends show up and try taking out any of our official fringe policing stuff.
Wow
[edit]I'm sure that's a jab at someone and I don't know the whole situation, nor do I want to get involved but I must say, that play is really funny. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 14:04, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
I mean, that person should be writing (if they are not already). The satire is superb. The humor is fantastic. Really. It's absolutely hilarious. I would read stuff by that person. Even if I didn't agree with the message. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 14:13, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
[edit]Hello Wiki alf! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 7 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
- Derek Morris - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Fair use rationale for File:The Sky at Night.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:The Sky at Night.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 14:48, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Remembrance Sunday.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Remembrance Sunday.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Adambro (talk) 12:55, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity
[edit]Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of Anton Bitel
[edit]The article Anton Bitel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- This pretty much amounts to a vanity autobiography by an individual who was a Wikipedia Administrator back in the day. Fails WP:GNG by a mile. Not notable as an academic or as a film critic.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Safiel (talk) 18:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

The article Fortune Features has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails the notability guideline for companies. Doesn't appear to have notable filmography either: The Living Matrix has an article but the sourcing seems dubious and it does not mention Fortune Features, so I don't favour a redirect. Couldn't find any sources better than [2]. Some COI editing apparent.
