Google News

I just happened to follow your recent discussion started at WP:NCHD, and regarding Google News results, note that a generic search there is restricted to news items from the past 30 days (though nothing on the page tells you this). Right below the search field you'll see a link to "Advanced search"; click that, and on the next page click "archive search," which will show you all results since the Triassic. Many a user trying to source an article with news stories has been baffled by their lack of results because of this.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 17:45, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Bull/proposed article

Hi. I'm putting together on article at Bull/proposed article to supplant the existing disambig page, which is a magnet for links intended to point at an article on the male of cattle. Since you did quite a bit of work on Cattle, I thought you might be able to help quickly punch this up to full-blown article status. Any assistance would be appreciated. Cheers! bd2412 T 01:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

re venkataraman Krishnamurthy

hi, please guide me on how to link Venkataraman Krishnamurthy to an existing article about the same person (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V._Krishnamurthy). as it refers to same person. all the awards bestowed on this person is under the name Venkataraman Krishnamurthy and the article in wiki is Under the name V. Krishnamurthy. kindly guide me as i am very new to this warm regards c b shetty Chetanbshetty (talk) 14:48, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I moved the V. Krishnamurthy article to Venkataraman Krishnamurthy for you. if someone clicks on V. Krishnamurthy it will automatically redirect them to Venkataraman Krishnamurthy, and if you look at the code on V. Krishnamurthy it will look like:

#REDIRECT [[Venkataraman Krishnamurthy]]

...and thats how you allow people to search for variations on a persons name. Syrthiss (talk) 14:53, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

regarding V krishnamurthy

thanks a lot for your help in guiding me, also i am sorry for signing the article as i was not aware. warm regards Chetanbshetty (talk) 15:13, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

FFG

Not really sure how to contact you so.. You deleted my Friendly Fire Gaming page. I am the owner of the site and I am confused as to why it was deleted. I am not trying to advertise, just do a history of the site. Is this not allowed? How do the other sites get their own Wikipedia pages?

Thanks, Tomas —Preceding unsigned comment added by TomasLekis (talk • contribs) 16:57, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Specifically it was deleted as advertising, and being a non-notable website. In general, WP:WEB is our guideline for notable websites. It became advertising when I noticed that your username matched the owner of the site.

Other sites get their own wikipedia pages firstly by being notable. A notable company will most likely have people not associated with it who have heard of it and will create an article. I hope this helps. Syrthiss (talk) 17:04, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Ah, alright. Sorry about that. Not really sure how this whole Wikipedia thing works. Thanks for the clarification! —Preceding unsigned comment added by TomasLekis (talk • contribs) 17:06, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Not a prob. We see it a lot, no harm done. :) Syrthiss (talk) 17:08, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

So in theory, another member of the site could create a page or..? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TomasLekis (talk • contribs) 17:23, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Essentially, if your site meets our notability requirements with reliable sources to back that claim up then anybody could create it. In general, we don't recommend that people write about things they are associated with. If you or another member of the site recreates the article, please make sure it is neutral in tone and pretty clearly establishes a claim to notability right off the bat. Thanks! Syrthiss (talk) 17:27, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

What are the notability requirements? We have a pretty long history and I feel like a Wikipedia page is due. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TomasLekis (talk • contribs) 00:14, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

...so I already know for a fact that there wasn't any football in 1233. But I had to look it up to see whether there was any football in 1233. It seemed plausible. The rules and equipment are simple, after all. And I already knew there was golf at that time. But, no, no football of any kind in 1233. Too bad. I had a lovely picture in my head, of medieval lads and lasses on a green yard somewhere, kicking a pig's bladder... -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:30, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

lol. Actually I had read it as '2133', so I assume we would have holographic footballs and such. Syrthiss (talk) 18:41, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

I have invented a new sport with which I will replace all existing team sports. It is called "ball." The rules are: 1. The home team will provide a playing field of its own choosing, with the shape, size, and form up to them. They may construct any non-lethal obstacles on the field that they wish. The middle of the field will be marked with a one-foot red circle. Two ends, equally distant from the middle, will be marked with one-foot by three-foot yellow rectangles. 2. The visiting team will provide a ball of its choosing, in any size and style. 3. Each team will consist of between 5 and 20 players. Players may bring non-lethal equipment of their own choosing into the playing field. 4. The game is played in four 15- minute quarters. There are no time-outs. 5. The goal of the game is to get the ball into the goal, using any strategy that seems useful. A goal is worth one point. Once a goal has been scored, the ball is re-positioned at the middle of the field. 6. Players are not allowed to kill one another, or to cause any injury that will leave damage lasting longer than one month. 7. There are no more rules. Play ball! -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:49, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry was away from the computer for several days. I'm not sure what to make of the CU comments - seems to me that if behaviourally it looks like the same user, and we have a geographic but not IP match, that it would be likely.

Golden plates

Hi. I saw in the protection log that you protected the page. I was correcting typos on various pages and came across one on this page, but wasn't able to edit it due to the [edit=sysop] (indefinite) protection. I am not too sure what the edit waring which led to the protection was about but could you please either unprotect the page or correct this typo for me: (second paragraph of the intro) after an an angel directed him. An is repeated twice. Thank you, Yottie (talk) 23:11, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I unprotected the page (actually I had hoped that the edit war would come to an agreement and it would be unprotected before now. I also made your change to the article after I lifted the protection. In case you didn't know, you can also request edits to protected pages by placing {{editrequest}} (cut and pasted as it appears here, not in the editing window) on the talk page with your request below it. :) Syrthiss (talk) 11:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you :) Next time I'll consider adding the template to the Article Talk Page, but I think it's often better to go to the concerned admin directly. Anyway, happy editing. Regards, Yottie (talk) 11:37, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Franco Lucchini image

Hello, I see that you gave a pair of contributions to the new article of Franco Lucchini. I also see here that you uploaded pictures in wikipedia, so I would ask You if You can upload an image of Lucchini, I see that in wikipedia there are old pictures of him, but I do not know how to upload photoes. Thanks for Your time and Your support anyway... --Gian piero milanetti (talk) 18:21, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Do you have a picture of him with a known pedigree? I'm usually pretty hesitant to upload pictures unless I know I have permission from the photographer or have taken them myself, because I want to make sure I am meeting the licensing requirements. Thanks for your work on his article. Syrthiss (talk) 18:23, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello... thanks a lot for your work, now if somebody digit the name of this great pilot is not directed to a japnese comic... about the picture, unfortunately I dont have it...

Misplaced Move

Hi there, just a quick note, when moving AFC submissions to the AFC 'area' of wikipedia, can you move it to the correct location please? You moved Barbara Annis to Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Barbara Annis when it should have been moved to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Barbara Annis.

I'm only mentioning it because it still classes it as misplaced otherwise. Thanks - Happysailor ^(Talk) 21:42, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

 Done - Never mind, I figured out that you just used a link on the AFC misplaced template - so i've fixed the template now. :) - Happysailor ^(Talk) 09:12, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Yepyep, I thought it was strange when I moved it but figured something had changed in how we did AFC. Thanks for taking care of it, I deleted the redirect page. Syrthiss (talk) 11:48, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Need your help

Many thanks for that. My connection was acting up like nobody's business - pages taking forever to load, etc. Seems OK now. Anyway, the editor in question (and, I think, many of the editors at the AfD) is quite new - they have rollback, and I think they're in general a good editor (I think they're all good faith editors, despite the fighting...) but still seems to be finding their way round policy: I warned them yesterday about inappropriate use of rollback. In their defence, I think they're probably more clued-up than some of the other editors...

Anyway, thanks again (I think this might be the second time today, at least, that you've done something I either needed done or was about to do!) TFOWR 19:43, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Need administrative help

Hello, I am one of the contributors to Kourosh Zolani’s page deletion discussion. We realized today that a user had removed huge part of our contribution to the discussion which thankfully you reverted it. However, I checked the history of the discussion and this user had removed another big part of our contributions to the discussion before too. Here is the link. Would you please bring those comments back to the discussion as well? Thank you, Sozlati (talk) 21:26, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

I assume this was taken care of according to the further discussion on TFOWR's page. If it wasn't, let me know and I'll look into it. Thanks! Syrthiss (talk) 14:06, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

FCW article

Just 2 reasons: 1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Professional_wrestling/Archive_78#Florida_Championship_Wrestling A long discussion where it was decided that the roster in the article would be the same as the one on the Roster page of FCW website. 2) Mikeymike2001 thinks that he is the owner of the FCW article. Look at the history tab. He reverts all edits made by other users. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.58.65 (talk) 17:47, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

So which version is sourced, yours or his? My intention was to stop the edit warring without comments from both sides, and revert to what looked like the previous stable version. Syrthiss (talk) 17:57, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Mine, Syrthiss. And sorry for the edit warring. I know that I was wrong. But please look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Mikeymike2001#Reverts and this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive625#Mikeymike2001_and_reverts —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.58.65 (talk) 18:02, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Eesh. I can't independently verify this right at the moment, I'd have to look tonight when I can look at the website. Do you mind if I don't get a chance to edit again until tomorrow? Syrthiss (talk) 18:12, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

It is okay, Syrthiss. Thank you and sorry again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.58.65 (talk) 18:19, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

My apologies, I have lifted the protected and blocked Mikeymike2001 for edit warring. Don't let it get that bad, please feel free to approach me or another administrator if it looks like an edit war is brewing. I'd personally recommend using edit summaries to help people know what you're doing, but it isn't required. A simple 'rv, material is unsourced. this edit restores consistency with source' does a lot to help people coming into the middle of the situation know whats happening. Thanks! Syrthiss (talk) 00:11, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Syrthiss, can I ask you a favor? Can you lift the protection of Orlando Colón article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_Col%C3%B3n)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.15.169 (talk) 18:13, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

I would feel better if you asked the protecting admin for that article, or made an unprotection request at WP:RFPP. I'm don't feel familiar enough with most of these wrestling articles to make judgement on protection status. Syrthiss (talk) 18:26, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I understand. Thanks a lot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.15.169 (talk) 18:46, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

So what am I supposed to do? Did you read the bizarre message this editor left me on my talk page? If not please do. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 16:47, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

So let me unblank the "courtesy blanking" and provide the sources. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 16:52, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Where am I supposed to put the references/links? And people won't be able to review the material if it is speedily deleted, which it very well may be. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 16:58, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

I checked the edit history. I created the page as a redirect to Jaroslaw Bilaniuk. The article was created in its own right by User:TML. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 17:01, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 17:24, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for everything! Let me try to explain what happened as I discern it. I got this aggressive message about a page created years ago, which I later remembered that I had not created as an article, but only as a redirect as I explained already. Another editor made an article out of it but neglected to add links or references.

At first I didn't realize all this but the article seemed pretty good and I guess I got a little proprietary and felt I should try to save it. I was going to AfD it, but that's not allowed under these circumstances as you also know. I kept asking for the article to be unblanked so that I could add the references which I was pretty sure I would be able to locate and I did -- easy Google search. But I was at the library at that time and you apparently can't copy and paste URLs on library computers. So I could not fix the article in time and it got speedy deleted. Anyway I just wanted to catch you up to speed. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 20:31, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Yepyep, understood. I think the version that you have in your userspace is well sourced enough that it could be moved back out to mainspace, but I'll let you make that call. Syrthiss (talk) 11:42, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Don't call me a stalker, please

The word stalker is offensive, you should know. --ZirconiumTwice (talk) 01:11, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I called myself a talkpage stalker, not you. Is English not your first language? Thats a really odd mistake to make for a native speaker. Syrthiss (talk) 11:28, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

In your opinion as a sysop, would you say ZirconiumTwice is verging on disruptive editing? His recent contributions seem to suggest so. Strange Passerby (talk) 12:01, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm waiting a bit to see where ZT is going with this, but yes I would call several of their activities over their editing career disruptive. I am not sure what the source of it is, perhaps it really is just a cultural / language issue. Syrthiss (talk) 12:04, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I'm not sure how true that is. He claims to be a pretty good speaker of English, and most Hong Kongers do speak fairly good English to some extent. WP:ANI-able soon if he continues I'm guessing; I suppose you wouldn't make any move given your past interaction with him. Strange Passerby (talk) 12:11, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I couldn't act on anything at this point, I'd think. I think that I wouldn't be considered 'involved' (since I've only interacted in an administrative capacity, I believe... deleting a template or two and leaving him a talkpage message or two), but really disruptive stuff would be clear to other administrators so it would be better for me not to. I'm also not sure ANI would be the proper venue, I'm thinking WQA. Syrthiss (talk) 12:17, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, it's been a long while since I've been on WP (I used to edit under a different name). Things have obviously changed. I'm off to find out what WQA is now... Strange Passerby (talk) 12:22, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Okay, so I never did use that step (even though it was available) the last time I was an editor. I agree, that'd be a good starting point. Strange Passerby (talk) 12:25, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Looks like he's been to ANI over a different affair in which he hasn't won the argument and is trying to push it further. I know the situations are unrelated, but the general behaviour I think is now worth discussing there. Just a heads-up. Strange Passerby (talk) 02:04, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

ahole

Hi, I just wanted to know why you just deleted my wiki about Lauramani Productions, while I had my sources and explained that they are two teenage girls (so no animals or objects).

Greetings, Angry person!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by MadMaxYUP (talk • contribs) 11:57, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

You had no sources that I saw, and didn't adequately explain why they were notable, and said on the talkpage 'you were just trying to help them out'. That pretty clearly indicates that you were making the article solely to promote some non-notable folks. Also earned yourself a npa warning for the above. Cheers! Syrthiss (talk) 12:00, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh I'm sorry I thought that artist with a Last FM page were notable people. I guess I was wrong. You might as well delete all the other starting bands. And I clearly said that it was a work in progress. Do you get a kick out of it to delete new Wiki's by supposedly following the rules? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MadMaxYUP (talk • contribs) 12:05, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Actually, we do delete a lot of other starting bands, thanks for asking. The encyclopedia is for notable people, and by definition usually start up bands are not notable (or they wouldn't be start ups). Feel free to submit other sources that establish their band as notable and we can see about restoring the article. Syrthiss (talk) 12:07, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/user/LauramaniProductions < their youtube account. Their working on their own website as well. Now, could you reconsider restoring my article about them, please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MadMaxYUP (talk • contribs) 12:13, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but youtube is not considered enough proof of notability either because it is self-generated content. What we would need would be something like producing a record from a major industry or indie label, proof of being in rotation on a major radio station, or charting in significant fashion (something like the UK or US charts). Syrthiss (talk) 12:20, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

ZirconiumTwice

Hi Syrthiss, I know you've dealt with this user previously, just wanted your opinion on his recent moves of his user and talk pages (seems rather disruptive - he's not exactly archiving them), and more particularly, this on his "user page":

My blacklist: PaleAqua, Stranger Passerby

Seems to be totally against the spirit of WP:CIV and WP:AGF.

Regards, Strange Passerby (talk) 09:06, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and there's this beauty of an offshoot of Wikipedia in his own user space too. I'm getting the feeling he thinks that in his userspace, on his "own" encyclopedia, he can ignore Wikipedia policy. MFD-able? Strange Passerby (talk) 09:09, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I've started a section on ANI about it Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:ZirconiumTwice_-_disruptive_or_within_the_bounds.3F, so feel free to add anything that you feel I may have left out. Thanks! Syrthiss (talk) 14:06, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Nominated for deletion as original research and lack of notability; in addition, it does not appear to be possible to verify the accuracy of the sources, as the article contains only references that are contained in manuscripts or of other Wikipedia articles.

While all 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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bearian (talk) 20:04, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Heh, I figured I'd let his self-done unblock request stand .. it was just as effective :-) (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 14:26, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I tried to revert it to his first attempt and explain...and then realized I wiped out your explanation from the edit conflict...and figured I'd see how it played out. I'm not really sure if the editor has problems with English or is just not that competent. The article was pretty atrocious. Syrthiss (talk) 14:31, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Section blanking in Batt O'Keeffe

Dear Syrthiss, You posted a message subsequent to my deletion of a sentence in an article. I deleted this particular sentence, which refers, by name, to a relative of mine (without his permission) because it contains an inaccuracy. I would appreciate if you could ensure that the sentence in question and the link which inspired it are deleted. Thanking you in anticipation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Katherine Woods (talk • contribs) 15:12, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Let me take a look. Syrthiss (talk) 15:23, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Ms. Woods, from my cursory reading it appears that the material in the article is supported by the sources cited, and those sources appear to be standard news organizations (ie not unreliable blog posts or such). As such, I cannot resolve this matter myself. If there is some overriding reason why this material should be removed that needs to be kept confidential, I ask that you follow the instructions at this link to email our volunteers who may be able to help you with that. Please do not remove the material again. Regards, Syrthiss (talk) 15:35, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Syrthiss, We both know a paper never refused ink! There is an inaccuracy in the sentence involved. I understood that Wikipedia was interested in factual information only. I stand corrected! Don't bother to respond. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Katherine Woods (talk • contribs) 16:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Ok! (too late, I responded!) Syrthiss (talk) 16:03, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Fishawack

Thanks for the pretty brutal deletion of my Fishawack page. I was still editing the page and took out the offending content and it got deleted anyway.

How can I add a page about my company without you deleting it without warning? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerome762 (talk • contribs) 15:25, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Actually, you were warned that it would be deleted. Not only did the copyright violation bot warn you, but another user did as well (for a different reason). Technically I deleted it for a third reason (no evidence of notability), but the copyright violation text would continue to be a problem.

My advice? Create it using the article wizard or in your userspace at User:Jerome762/Fishawack. Write it in entirely new text, avoid advertising speak, and establish why it is notable using reliable sources external to your company. If you have to use the text from your website, you can follow the instructions at WP:IOWN to donate the text to Wikipedia. I hope this helps. Syrthiss (talk) 15:34, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

My recent revert

Hi Syrthiss, I've reverted as vandalism because the user was taking the prod notices without any valid explanation, despite of being told several times. His summary which says reference are provided was already there when I put the Prod notice for the first time. Moreover I'm pretty convinced he is using several IPs to do the same. Anyway thanks for letting me know. I'll put the notice back. If it is removed again by him or any of his IPs, I'll take it to afd. This kind of articles (self and family) are pretty common in biography articles from India. Mathew Joy (talk) 18:12, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh...I see. You were talking of the references tag when you mentioned of restoring. It took a moment for me to understand. Thanks. I'll take it to afd. Mathew Joy (talk) 18:34, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

AAAARGH (the cry of a deleted page)

I was just in the process of constructing the page for The Low Miffs when you went away and deleted it. Can you not give me 24 hours or something to stick it together? If it's totally disappeared now, that's all my work wasted. I'm not very good at this, so it takes me bloody ages to get this stuff together. I'll get citations and all the rest of that guff, I just need more than ten minutes in which to do it. Seriously, it went up like five minutes ago, and I was in the process of making revisions on my lunch hour. Can you pop it back and give me some kind of leave to get it fixed, please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Inkwilson (talk • contribs) 12:15, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Per your request, I have restored it to User:Inkwilson/The Low Miffs. Work on it there, and when it is to a point where you don't believe it will be speedyable you can move it back out into the mainspace or ask me to do it. Thanks! Syrthiss (talk) 12:21, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

RE: Sunny (Korean singer)

Is it possible to unprotect the page now? User:EunSoo has been banned for doing some crazy socking. Regardless of whether it should be under "singer" or "entertainer", there's still no need for "Korean" as there's no other singer/entertainer on Wikipedia named Sunny (and using it as a mononym). Thanks in advance. SKS (talk) 06:37, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

I do believe you should file a Requested moves for that move. After all Sunny is Korean and is most commonly a singer. It only makes sense that she is a "Korean singer". 200.198.119.210 (talk) 05:19, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Our socking friend is right: maybe start a RM discussion. I'd be open to moving it wherever, but (1) I'd like to have a good consensus and (2) I want it still move protected once it moves since its obvious that EunSoo is still around and socking. Syrthiss (talk) 11:23, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Production Automotive Systems

Hi, I started an article about PAS and it was deleted.

Why was this please? It's an interesting company with a lot of history relating to rare sports cars.

UKTyphoon (talk) 18:23, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Because our articles are on notable subjects (producing rare sports care would likely be a good mark of notability) where their notability can be established by multiple reliable sources. The one link that you had didn't tell me very much, and your comment on the talk page was an admission that you were not likely going to be able to provide any more sources (and I couldn't easily find any on my own). On top of that, you were repeatedly removing the speedy deletion tag despite multiple warnings not to. Syrthiss (talk) 18:27, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

I have the sources but they are not google related. www.syty.net is the forum where a lot of the information is to be found and I need the people on there to provide some of the links/sources, some of which are in newspaper articles. I was under the impression that they could edit the wikipedia info with corrections/additions etc.

As for the removal of the warnings, I apologise - the instructions were confusing.

How should I proceed? Thes cars are rare, the company is notable and this is my first article. Sorry for the inconvenience. —Preceding unsigned comment added by UKTyphoon (talk • contribs) 19:00, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Belen Echandia

Hi Syrthiss, I am looking for advice. The below has been posted on a page nominating the Belen Echandia page for deletion (same person has repeatedly attempted to get it deleted in the past week. You asked him of his interest, I also tried to discuss, s/he didn't reply). A couple of days ago it was voted Keep. The allegations s/he makes are untrue and not backed up with reliable references. I have wondered from the beginning whether this user has a conflict of interest or other reason for wishing to have the Belen Echandia page taken down (I have no evidence of this, other than conduct). I don't want anything I say to be considered a legal threat or unfair comment. I have done my best to be civil. I ask this as the owner of the company, not the person originally responsible for posting the page - since the untrue statements relate to our company. What do you advise?

"I believe that this page is commercial in nature and should be deleted unless modified and displays alternate opinions. Belen Echandia does not uniquely offer a bespoke service, many handbag designers offer this same service. In addition, I found many exargerations in the page including the notion that Vogue's servers were down because Belen Echandia. In addition, based on the feedback read in the previous note, the writer has an obvious connection to the owner. I am a member of the Purse Forum and Belen Echandia is notorious in their attempts to control content about their product. There were many instances where the owners of the Purse Forum were considering closing the thread dedicated to the product because of the written harrassment from devotes. A quick search will not only display problems with quality and customer service but some members have even stated that if they didn't write postive reviews about the company, they would be prohibited from purchasing.

I agree that this article is advertising not encyclopedic information. The original poster [[User:Parafianowicz|Parafianowicz] of this article was linked to the article subject as proved most compellingly by his/her own statement on the picture submission page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Belen_Echandia_Logo.jpg . The text is very highly biased and possibly can't be correct in any case as quoting the real (ex-)customers of this company counts as original research. Most citations are references to interviews given by the company owner in possible violation of WP:SELFPUB. All discussions on this article are dogged by Findingtruths who claims to be the owner of this company. He/She has resorted to aggressive comments, sucking up to administrators, and legal threats to suppress any discussion or improvement of this article. This company is known by ex-customers as using high pressure sales and promising discounts in return for favors. I believe this company is getting customers to update this article with the information it wishes to see here in order to use Wikipedia as free advertising. Unixtastic (talk) 18:46, 13 November 2010 (UTC) User:findingtruths (talk) 22.01, 13 November 2010 (UTC)"

Here is the page I refer to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Belen_Echandia_(2nd_nomination) User:findingtruths (talk) 22.03, 13 November 2010 (UTC)"

Please also note that when the above was originally posted (at the time I copied it above), the first paragraph was not signed, but the two paragraphs are from two different users. The usually very reliable signbot did not go in and sign it, as you can see. Later Unixtastic went in and signed it himself on behalf of the other person, stating that the signbot appeared to be asleep. User:findingtruths (talk) 9.57, 14 November 2010 (UTC)"

I have started a thread at WP:AN/I about this article which you may want to comment on. Davewild (talk) 10:07, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, have been out of the office for a bit so I am only now seeing this. I see that the topic at ANI has been archived, so I assume there was nothing more that I could have said there...but I may stop by the AFD and make a comment. Syrthiss (talk) 13:23, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

No problem and thanks. Do you think that the page is going to be deleted again? I don't know how Wikipedia works, how does an AFD get closed? User:findingtruths (talk) 21.31, 13 November 2010 (UTC)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.251.100.97 (talk)

After 7 days, usually an administrator (tho it can be technically any user, if the decision is uncontroversial) will look over the arguments and make a decision. In my opinion, unless something drastic happened, the article meets the basic guidelines and will not be deleted. As I said at the discussion, if I had my way it would be closed already as vexatious but I haven't closed AFDs for a very very long time so I'll defer to someone else closing it.

Jediism

There are more than JUST the church of jediism, that have loyal followers, that believe in the philosophy and spirituality of the Force. Jediism ISN'T just that church. There are many, who are becoming legal religions in many areas. It is foolish, to think the the church of jediism, is all there is, without recognizing those that wholeheartedly believe in the Force, and the Energies of the universe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cypress24 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't disagree, but considering that we'd really not like to advertise any groups...having a link to a single organization as a representative sample, especially when that organization is one mentioned in the references (I believe) is supported by WP:EL. You don't have to try and convince me, here, that your external link is supported by policy. You need to do that at Talk:Jediism and get a consensus that it is valid to add it. Hope this helps.

Edit War

Syrthiss, if you look at the SSM article, you will see that I am hard at work addressing the concerns raised by the editor who has repeatedly zapped everything (not one edit--every single edit) that I have done on this article today. I have reverted absolutely nothing, but have merely restored the edits that were reverted improperly. I will be more than happy to address concerns on the talk page and work toward consensus, but I see no willingness on the part of the other editor. I visited the other editor's page to try to work this out, but the behavior continued. May I suggest that you remind the other editor that he/she, too, could be blocked? (I did not start this edit war). I noticed that your note on that user's page was a whole lot milder than the one I got from you. Thanks.184.74.22.161 (talk) 18:19, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 03:40, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Actually, if you look at the history I did not nominate it for speedy deletion. I replaced the speedy tag that had been removed by the author, and started giving advice to the author on the talk page. I was on the fence about their assertion of notability, so I declined to take administrative action regarding the article and said as much in the edit summary.

Contested page deletion

Would it be possible to review the validity of Brandon Scott? I have been his Rover Advisor for only a few months now and he has shown great leadership traits. From this I deducted that a formal record of his achievements could be established. It had been noted that he attempted to establish a page earlier but failed to provide the required information. Can I submit through our Council office to you, information which may support his history? CreativeMindSet (talk) 16:32, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

I believe you are mistaken about our deletion process. The article, in the version that existed back in June that Brandon created himself, was determined to be not notable enough for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The version you submitted looked identical to the version that was deleted, and therefore was deleted as shedding no additional light on Brandon's notability. If you create a new article, you can try to fix the shortcomings of the previous one and assert Brandon's notability. Please review our general notability guidelines, though. I have no stake in whether the article is kept or not, other than to uphold the decision of the previous discussion, so sending me documentation wouldn't change this action. Hope this is helpful to you. Syrthiss (talk) 16:41, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Block Evasion

Sorry to bother you... may I trouble you for a block of Him for harassment and block evasion. Here : User_talk:MLauba Section Block Evasion there is more information... as well as on User_talk:Moonriddengirl talk page. CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 15:19, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Who is the original blocked user? I'm not all that familiar with this conflict, so I'd prefer if Mlauba or Moonriddengirl were to do a block if they are around. Syrthiss (talk) 15:34, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Urrrrk... of course.... FYI: This is him for now he's calmed down... Quick question while waiting... :-D Will I get into trouble for 3RR for reverting the stuff here: Talk:Jesper_Olsen_(runner) ?? CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 15:37, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I would say that removal of that text is exempt from 3rr. Talkpages are for the improvement of articles, and while noting a COI might be considered improvement of the article there are much better places to do such. Continuing to post it there is pretty clearly soapboxing, in my opinion, and reverting edits of a blocked or banned user. Also, ultimately Dromeaz (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) was blocked as a sock of TheLongestRoadToIndiaGate (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) so thats probably the original blocked account to point others to. From my peripheral view of the stuff as viewed through the mirror of MRG's talk page, Mr Garside or his supporters have been advised on the proper venues for handling the situation...and yet still use the improper venues. Syrthiss (talk) 15:51, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks.... User talk:MLauba told me just use WP:BRI when I see stuff from him... but like I said I have to guess to be sure it's him...he has more IPs than I have shoes. LOL CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 15:55, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Also, in my opinion it is pretty clear that anytime someone mentions Garside and you it will be him and should be treated accordingly. Reading up a bit on Dromeaz' page, I'm willing to go so far as to provide myself as someone who can be asked to look at edits if you suspect an IP and give you my take. Syrthiss (talk) 15:59, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate your being willing to mediate in this area, since I can't and since User:MLauba is often away. I try to give respectful attention to Dromeaz's (easier than LongestRoadToIndiaGate :D) concerns, but I have not been successful in getting him to avoid making accusations about other contributors, and I suspect that his behavior has a definite quelling effect to contributors to the article, no matter how well intentioned they may be. (I believe User:MLauba has been giving short blocks; if he contained himself to my talk page or the Garside talk page and didn't stretch into personal attacks, I would not even do that, frankly. But if he is harassing CanadianLinuxUser or any other editor without solid evidence, that's a different matter.) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:18, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I agree: if Dromeaz-as-ip only edited your page, and was constructive, I would not block. Otherwise, I'm inclined to continue Mlauba's pattern then. However, I'm also likely to disappear for the next few days so I may not be exactly timely myself. Syrthiss (talk) 16:22, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Revert whatever shows up if you like (the posts are block evasion, reverts are outside 3rr) and otherwise don't answer him at all, ever. Let me know if you need more help than that but please don't leave talkback templates on my talk page :) Gwen Gale (talk) 16:45, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

re talkback templates: do I look like an idiot? ;) (with apologies to everyone who feels talkback templates are a good idea) Syrthiss (talk) 16:47, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Shshsh! Mrg did it! ;) Forgot to say, don't bother with blocking the IPs, waste of time. Gwen Gale (talk) 16:49, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Refusal to follow up on your denial of a request to remove a block of IP 98.160.221.12

You refused to remove a block on a friend's IP address, and then didn't respond to his follow-up message in regards to you action. Since he is unable to post on your page, I was asked to put his response on your page on his behalf. Forgive me if I am not using proper protocol, as I am not a regular user of Wikipedia. I have never made a post on this site and I'm not sure I'm using the proper technique to do so, so also forgive me if this is not the right technical procedure to post something on you page, but I do share my friends concerns and feel they ought to be heard. From his response (The link to it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:98.160.221.12):

The stated reason for the block was "long term abuse." I contest the claim that two posts over six days can fit the definition of "long term." Secondly, although the first edit that I ever made on this MAY have constituted abuse. The second edit, in no, way, shape, or form constitutes "abuse," as it is factual information, which contained no profanity, threats, obscenity, etc. It is simply not abusive under your own rules. It may have been improperly placed, but that is not grounds for blockage.

Additionally, the second edit did not violate any other provision that I am aware of after reading the Wikipedia page that states the reasons to allow blocking of a user. I simply made a statement in my second edit that the majority of administrators here at Wikipedia clearly find to be politically incorrect, as I have always noticed a heavy left-wing and totalitarian slant present in Wikipedia entries. This belief is currently being substantiated by how this issue is being handled -- you won't even adhere to your own rules...a clear sign of totalitarian and Marxism. Consider your own rules:

-As a rule of thumb, when in doubt, do not block. −−−−→Clearly there would be reason to doubt, specifically when my edits were never made on the page because they were incorrectly stopped by a filter that was made to catch a different individual who is a frequent "abuser" of this website (This was admitted by another administrator when I protested the filter).

-Administrators should take special care when dealing with new users. Beginning editors are often unfamiliar with Wikipedia policy and convention, and so their behavior may initially appear to be disruptive. Responding to these new users with excessive force can discourage them from editing in the future. −−−−→Only having made two edits in six days clearly would make me a new user. Perhaps the iron-fisted ways that you deal with new users, such as myself, who also happen to be right wing and very much in favor of the fair enforcement of rules, are so turned-off by this website. Most aren't willing to try to fight the administrator's violation of Wikipedia's rules and simply move on to other sites. Then you are left with a heavy bias because all that remains are left-wing contributors, which is very contrary to the concept of Wikipedia.

-A user may be blocked when his or her conduct severely disrupts the project; that is, when his or her conduct is inconsistent with a civil, collegial atmosphere and interferes with the process of editors working together harmoniously to create an encyclopedia. −−−−→There is no way my actions could be cited as "severe," when all I did was add two governments to a list of Marxist governments. I, along with a great deal of others, believe they currently have become governed by Marxist rules. I see there is a documentation requirement that I missed, but I can easily provide documentation. Additionally, there was no documentation provided for the nations already listed as Marxist. It appears that a fellow Marxist is simply trying to protect the Marxist regimes by blocking me, specifically when the changed information was never published on the page.

-Blocking is a serious matter. The community expects that blocks will be made with good reasons only, based upon reviewable evidence and reasonable judgment, and that all factors that support a block are subject to independent peer review if requested. −−−−→Once again, it requires ALL factors to be independently reviewed. Your statement: To be unblocked, you must CONVINCE [nice burden of proof there, by the way] the reviewing administrator(s) that the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or the block is no longer necessary because you understand what you have been blocked for, will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and will make useful contributions instead.

I clearly understand that I've been blocked for "long-term abuse," which I have disputed. Even if it is "abuse," which I don't feel it is, its certainly not "long term" in nature. You, however, clearly display that you have not considered the factor of whether or not the other administrator's block was with-in Wikipedia guidelines to begin with. I encourage you to review Wikipedia's own grounds for instituting a block, which will clearly displays that this block was completely unwarranted.

To me, it appears that certain administrators have used power to suppress opposing views, instead of address them in the manner that Wikipedia's own standards require. It's shameful and a violation of the spirit of Wikipedia. However, it does expose the lengths that the left will go to in order to advance their agenda.

I encourage you to ensure that the standards of Wikipedia are followed by it's own administrators, who should have full-knowledge of the standards, instead of unwarrantably attacking a first-week user. Otherwise, you do take the risk of making Wikipedia appear further biased to us on the right-wing, who comprises half of this world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.61.180.141 (talk) 02:45, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

I am sure that your 'friend' will appreciate that typically once an admin has acted on an unblock request, usual protocol is to be hands off to any further requests so that another admin can look at the page with fresh eyes. Since your 'friend' didn't place any more unblock requests, just the lengthy wikilawyering rant that you copied here, he guaranteed his 'supression' (especially since I was offline for most of last week). Just keep in mind (this message is for you and your 'friend') - POV warriors of any kind aren't welcome here. Syrthiss (talk) 12:26, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Petrification

Hey there.

A capital letter was probably used because it refers to the results of a spell (curse/magical action, whatever) so the OP assumed it warranted capitalisation, much in the same way Petrificus Totalus is capitalised.

I agree with your assertation, incidentally, that it doesn't need capitalisation, but hey - you did ask!

Deleted page,

You just deleted the page "men with helmets" , it was set up as a information page about a team. such as Arsenal or Djurgårdens IF would love to get a explanation for it. If it was posted in a incorrect section i would love to have a backup from it so i can repost it correctly. Thank you in advance. --Chr c (talk) 19:37, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Sure, though I didn't delete it. I only nominated it for consideration of deletion. In particular: (1) it seemed more like an advertisement than a neutral encyclopedic article (compare what you wrote to those pages you linked), (2) it didn't assert why your clan was notable in a credible fashion (ie biggest clan, most fragged newbies as cited in a reliable source), and (3) at the time when I nominated it, it was mostly just a list of the members. If you would like a copy of the text I can supply it, but please consider addressing my points above before reposting it or it may end up deleted again. Thanks.

deleting user page

I dont know why the user page was deleted.. Will it matter. I can still contribute to articles... What was the purpose of deleting a user page and how does that effect the user me? --Sonisona 02:40, 11 January 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonisona (talk • contribs)

It shouldn't have any effect on you. It was deleted because some other user redirected it to an article. I don't know if he thinks you are the subject of the article or what, but we don't allow redirects to cross namespaces (for example from userspace to articles, or from articles to userspace). I didn't leave you a note because I assume it was done without your consent, correct? Or are you saying that you are also the user who redirected it? Syrthiss (talk) 14:07, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Ok thanks understood.... No I did not redirect anything.--Sonisona 22:04, 15 January 2011 (UTC)--Sonisona 22:04, 15 January 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonisona (talk • contribs)

List of characters in the Rambo franchise / List of Rambo characters

I'm not sure what was happening there, but it seems an editor decided to re-edit the redirect from whence it was moved. Anyway, I've reverted to how you left it, mainly to preserve the history, but not really sure what was going on. Rob Sinden (talk) 09:33, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, thats all I'm concerned about... avoiding him making 25 cut and paste moves to List of Characters From Rambo and List of Rambo Associated Characters That Aren't Rambo and Burminese Woman. The list is pretty bad so I'm hoping that someone will nom it for deletion as unsupported OR. Thanks for the revert. Syrthiss (talk) 12:19, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah - it is truly awful! But, I guess everything and everyone has to start somewhere. Could be a valid article with work, so can't quite bring myself to nom it. I removed the "Burminese weman" and the "Pakistan's army" though! Rob Sinden (talk) 13:35, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of KAY (Singer)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on KAY (Singer), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ttonyb (talk) 20:01, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello, fellow Wikipedian

Seeing, as I do, that you are very experienced and highly knowledgeable about Wikipedia, I was wondering if you could comment on a suggestion I have made. I am proposing that Simon (cat) be merged with HMS Amethyst (F116). I'm wondering if my proposal makes sense and if I have done it correctly. Thanks. Sorry if there is perhaps a better person to ask about this. Geofferic T•_C✡ 07:25, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm kind of torn. It is probably borderline enough that you wouldn't get consensus to merge it. I'm personally unclear how a non-governmental agency's award can be the equivalent of a Victoria Cross...but I'm also not an expert on this topic by far so I'm probably missing nuances. I certainly don't think you would be able to incorporate the large amount of text on Simon's page into the Amethyst page, so we'd be losing some detail that is probably best left on its own.

You did it correctly, though. Don't worry about asking me things, aside from my in-and-outness causing a time delay from when you ask to when I reply. Syrthiss (talk) 12:53, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Geofferic T•_C✡ 13:14, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Inappropriate move/title of Brian Reynolds article

Saw you helped out on a recent inappropriate move of the Brian Reynolds article. I've noted on the discussion page for that article that disambiguation to Brian Reynolds (strategy game designer) isn't really appropriate for an individual who has designed games in several genres and is more recently involved with facebook games and role-playing games. (Also the disambiguation itself was performed by a user who apparently was promoting a band "Creation's Tears" the page for which has subsequently been deleted - so the appropriateness of disambiguation itself may be questionable).

I'm not exactly an expert on WP and wouldn't dare try to move/rename a page, but since you'd shown an interest & expertise I thought you might be willing to look into it. Thanks! 68.34.0.181 (talk) 17:04, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Yah, I may move it to (game designer) or something. Let me look into it some more. I had assumed that when I said 'bad editor! no cut and paste moves!' that he would request a move instead or drop it. Syrthiss (talk) 13:03, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for help on my sig!

Something got gimpy on my talk page, so I wiped it and put the thank you here! Geofferic ^T•_C✡ 15:15, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Ok, another question...

Say I feel someone is being antisemitic, fairly blatantly, and in the Talk of a Jewish-related article. I realize this is likely to get squashed very quickly, but on the off chance that it's not, what do I do about it? Is it reported somewhere? Wikipedia:Abuse doesn't seem right - I felt it directed me to Wikipedia:Long, but that's clearly not correct. Geofferic ^T•_C✡ 03:10, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Well, in general I'd say you have two paths, and both lead to WP:ANI (the administrators incidents board). You could ask the user on their talkpage if they could tone it down, or if it is really just over the top and / or you don't feel comfortable doing that you could go directly to ANI. However you end up at ANI, even if you are upset please please please make your report as neutral, concise and supported with links to the behavior as you can. If you go in and say "OMG BAN ANTISEMITIC BASTARD XYZ" (which I don't believe that you would do, btw) you're probably going to be ignored or end up with XYZ and yourself blocked. If you say "Anti-semitism concerns with editor XYZ at Jewish people", you'll do just fine. Keep in mind what your desired outcome is. Do you want them blocked? Do you want them to have a topic ban? Do you just want another editor to have a word with them?

If it really isn't obvious and blatant, you would likely have to start a WP:RFCU (request for comment on a user) and see how other editors view it. I could probably help you a bit with getting that started, but I've never filed one myself so I'm by no means an expert. Syrthiss (talk) 14:03, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

your post on my talk page?

what was it in refrence to??? when have i attacked any other editor...Jessicaevens (talk) 14:37, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

You told SummerPhD on their talk page to 'eat a dick'. I reverted it as an attack, and dropped you that warning. Syrthiss (talk) 14:39, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

eat a dick is an apt insult not an attack a ddos would be an attack, knifing the bitch would be an attack telling her to eat a dick is what she deserves if she is gonna go around harrasing people...Jessicaevens (talk) 14:41, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
