	Jose Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad "

Questions, comments, thoughts, complaints? (last blanked 3 August 2010)

Any chance you might be able to take a look at Mohamed Nasheed? The article has been getting repeatedly vandalised and hit with POV additions for a while now, and really could do with a cleanup, and while we've disagreed in the past, you're the best person that comes to mind on these topics these days.

Speedy deletion nomination of Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy

Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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 hangon 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. —Train2104 (talk · contribs · count · email) 12:48, 10 August 2010 (UTC) [reply]

Please ignore this warning. The article had been hijacked by vandals, who replaced the contents with some rather offensive idiocy. This has now been reverted. Favonian (talk) 12:51, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey

Mario Monti lede

Hello. Could you kindly check your use of English grammar in the revisions you have made to the start of the lede of the Mario Monti article? I find the use of the use of the present simple ("is") plus "since" to be unidiomatic. Please note that the reply to your earlier query "when???" was just a few lines down, in keeping with MOS; the lede to David Cameron—an article which has achieved GA status—follows a similar process. Thank you.--MistyMorn (talk) 13:30, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree quite strongly, but I have no wish to get into an edit war. Do you think that the lede of the David Cameron article is inappropriate, and if so does how does it conflict with MOS?--MistyMorn (talk) 13:40, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the reply. While respecting your personal opinion regarding the Cameron lede, I still do not understand how it departs from MOS (and why the Cameron GA should not provide an appropriate model for the somewhat tricky Monti lede).

Please don't add back OR that is quite clarly not in the source. (despite the edit summary)(Lihaas (talk) 21:08, 9 January 2012 (UTC)).[reply]

There was no source before, but kudos for adding that. But you also restored everything blindly some of which was not in the article. The AFP says that he will continue in his role it doesnt NOT say he will be sworn in as acting/interim, which officially means that he will continue in his capacity of taking charge of presidential affairs not that he will be president which is different, however technical. Perhaps officially the post will be vacant, unless we have a source saying otherwise.(Lihaas (talk) 21:22, 9 January 2012 (UTC)).[reply]

MSU Interview

Dear Everyking,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 18:24, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article introductions

Why do you keep making this change on articles? Number 5 7 20:04, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Common usage is to use the plural for (single) elections. As the article titles are very formulaic, the text in the intro doesn't need to match it (no-one would say "Republic of the Congo parliamentary election, 2012" in a sentence for instance). Number 5 7 08:19, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I may also respond with "what?", as I would say the plural is actually standard across the project. And of course it doesn't need to match the title, otherwise we'd start articles with "Republic of the Congo parliamentary election, 2012 was held in 2012". Also, regarding your edit summary, "just look at the intros for other elections for this same country", I did so, and there were nine instances of the plural being used and only two of the singular. As a result, I've standardised it back to the most common use. Number 5 7 08:24, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I could say the same for yourself.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8].

So, if we ignore our contributions, what did other editors do? The first edits of those which actually contained text before either you or I edited them in the Congo elections series were: plural, plural, singular, plural, plural, plural, plural, plural. These contributions are from three different editors (Soman, Petrovic-Njegos and Nightstallion). Can we agree that this is the most common way on Wikipedia? Number 5 7 13:44, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the attempt at compromise, but saying if we keep it where I've edited and leave it where you've edited, that's basically WP:OWN, which makes me rather uncomfortable. I'd rather just try and convince you that it is common usage to use the plural - look at AFP, Reuters, AP, and All Africa, not to mention [9][10][11] :) Number 5 7 14:01, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks much for voting. When we put the RfC together, one thing we were all agreed on was that it should run a week, so that it didn't take too much time away from more central questions ... but we decided not to put that in the RfC, I think because we didn't want to force a cutoff in the middle of a good debate.

Undoing multiple related edits to lead section of Kevin Rudd

Everyking, you have twice [13][14] reworded the Kevin Rudd lead section with a comment about the timing, because he has been PM twice. In each case it looks like you might have simply rolled back to an earlier version of the text - but in each case that lost other unrelated edits (scope of the "Leader of Labor Party" link, and "dux" link), and there was nothing in your edit comment to suggest that those other changes were intentional.

Please take a little more care when "undoing" or "rolling back" edits, so that only the desired changes happen. If you intended to make the other changes (to the links) please:

mention that in your edit comment so that we know it was intentional

or, better

Request to take part in a survey

I am Piotr Konieczny, a fellow Wikipedian (User:Piotrus) and a researcher of Wikipedia (http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=gdV8_AEAAAAJ). I am currently (in collaboration with WMF) embarking on a project trying to understand why the most active Wikipedia contributors (such as yourself) may reduce their activity, or retire. We have a growing understanding of why an average editor may do so (see http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Former_Contributors_Survey_Results), but we have a very limited understanding of why the top editors would limit their contributions. Yet it is the top editors like yourself who contribute most of Wikiepdia's content, thus understanding this is of vital concern to Wikipedia's project future.

I am contacting you because you are among the top Wikipediana by number of edits, yet your editing activity shows a decline. I would very much appreciate if you would take a minute and answer the following four short questions. Please note this is not a mass email; I am contacting only few dozen of editors like yourself, and each response is extremely valuable. Your response will not be made public, and your privacy will be fully respected.

If you would like to help out in this project and take part in a very short survey, please send me a wikiemail, so that I can send you an email with the survey questions. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:48, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Articles deletion

Dear Everything,

I apologize for the inconvenience, but have no other way than appealing for administrators’ help recover a deleted article.

I published a film article entitled Drits (Derivas), a film by Portuguese director Ricardo Costa. It is the second film from an autobiographic trilogy, Faraways. The article was kept untouched by several months. To my surprise, it was recently eliminated and redirected to the director’s page with no discussion. I undid the redirection, but saw the article was proposed to deletion. Reason: independent, verifiable, secondary resources. I argued that the article couldn’t have but primary sources (the producer’s ones) as it is an upcoming film, like many others listed at upcoming films. A film that has not yet been premiered or distributed may not be commented. Besides, none of the films so listed has ever been deleted or even contested.

At last, in discussion, user User:reddogsix proposed that the article should be renamed to Drifts (film) or similar, and at the same time put at the disambiguation page of Dritf this reference «Drifs, unreleased film by Ricardo Costa (filmmaker). I created a new page for the same article entitled Drifts (Portuguese film). As the semantic root “drift” seemed to be the problem, I replaced the article name to Derivas (Drifts) and published it once more with some improvements. As a result, the article was fast deleted and I blocked for three days.

In the meantime, a new article about the trilogy was published: Faraways, which was proposed to fast deletion as well by the same user, User:reddogsix.

Although unreleased, although having no reliable secondary sources, Drifts is unquestionably an outstanding film for its uniqueness and characteristics: autobiography, comedy, docufiction, metafiction in one. I guess that “outstanding” may be a synonym for “notable” in such cases and that articles like this shouldn’t be deleted without previous cared analyses: important information may be lost.

This sequence of interventions is clearly a personal attack by User:reddogsix, supported by two or three user friend. It has no other explanation. It contributes in nothing to improve articles quality. Mists article, which I created on 10 September 2010, is the latest example. The article structure was unreasonably modified, loosing clarity and useful content.

NOTE: sent to 30 administrators.

Thanks for your attention, User:Tertulius 21:26, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Everyking,

in principle, I agree to your opinion. I suggest the following: in case 'breaking news' exist we can (or should?) mention them in 1 sentence in the introduction; in case the article is quite long we can i.e. add "more details see #xxxxxx " best regards from Cologne, --Neun-x (talk) 05:58, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Guinean legislative election, 2013

I'm not clear why you moved the text about the results from the introduction (where there is now nothing about the results) to the "Outcome" section. You are right that it needs to be in the text, but you moved it from a section where it was helpful to one that isn't really needed ("outcome" and "results" are the same thing). I don't want to start an edit war, but I do feel the article is worse for your most recent change. Cheers, Number 5 7 13:55, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

January 2014

Your recent editing history at Arvind Kejriwal shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

As of template

The {{as of}} template that you removed from Manish Sisodia has a useful function: it causes articles to be categorised as containing potentially dated statements and thus aids maintenance. - Sitush (talk) 04:15, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You've now hit WP:3RR at that article also, having only recently done so at Arvind Kejriwal. I think perhaps you need to take a break and calm down because this is looking like an exercise in point-y contributions. I've not checked your efforts to articles that are absent from my watchlist - do I need to do so? - Sitush (talk) 04:24, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've only just realised that you've been around since 2004, which makes the templating above look silly. My apologies for that. However, it also makes your edit warring against multiple contributors, your threat to continue (made on my talk page) and your seeming unfamiliarity with {{as of}} look silly. I'm at a loss here, especially given that you are also an admin. - Sitush (talk) 04:52, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And still you are edit warring at articles like this one, eg: Kejriwal and Yadav. Give me one reason why I should not request that you be desysopped? It's not as if you seem to even use the mop very often. - Sitush (talk) 03:08, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Everyking, speaking as someone who has always been a supporter of you - and as a friend - I'd be careful how you proceed on this one; while I don't know the specifics of this case, if you're being reverted by multiple editors it's best to cease whatever edits are causing others to revert you. Stick to the talk pages and if it doesn't look as though you can change any existing consensus on an article, it might even be best just to walk away. At any rate, I've already seen one editor on my watchlist get blocked for 3RR today...I'd rather not see another, especially not you! The dispute isn't worth anyone being blocked for it. Best.

There are articles that have history that are written by the contributors, am I correct? Can I ask, do you refresh the history and make the articles like it's brand new?

"Dead people can't hold office"

I understand that, as dead people are dead, they can't seem to hold a ceremonial role in government that requires them to be lively. However, with regards to the North Korean leaders that you removed from List of current heads of state and government, the North Korean constitution specifically states that these individuals, though dead, hold the ceremonial role of head of state. Not only that, which many would consider to be a questionable though relevant source, the CIA world leaders database lists them as head of state. As far as what is being said on Wikipedia internally, North Korea and the individuals' respective pages state the same thing.

"North Korea is also known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). The top positions in the government and the Korean Workers' Party continue to be held by deceased leaders Kim Il Sung (died 8 Jul 1994) and Kim Jong Il (died 17 Dec 2012), designating them as "eternal" leaders." - CIA World Leaders database

You might want to revisit your questions for the ARBCOM candidates and recast them using the suggested template. I've already fixed mine and answered yours. Interesting question and suggestion.→StaniStani 08:11, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reformatted your question

Hi Everyking. I've replied to your question at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2014/Candidates/Yunshui/Questions - just wanted to let you know that I've also reformatted the question (without altering your wording, naturally) with the {{ACE Question}} template.

Regarding your comment yesterday on Chillum's talk page

Regarding your comment yesterday on Chillums talk page. I used to edit a couple years ago and got tired of the fighting and bickering. Everone wants to fight over articles and not enough people want to edit so I left. I removed my email and scrambled my password. So that gives some admins like Chillum who cannot think for themselves and are only interested in increasing their block numbers an excuse to block another account. Its no biggie to me I stopped taking this place seriously due to admins like him blindly removing content and blocking editors for no reason. Anyway I just wanted to let you know. 208.54.35.181 (talk) 02:28, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

reverted edit on Bashar al-Assad

I received the following:

"Your edits on Bashar al-Assad have been reverted by Everyking."

It concerns:

'The Middle East Quarterly noted that "As in the case of Iraq, there are lingering questions of Syrian payments to French politicians. Many French politicians join associations and charitable boards both for financial and political gain."'

I actually think that the passage could have easily been omitted but, as I find deleting other people's stuff distasteful, I opted to establish context instead, thus:

'The "explicitly from the viewpoint of American interests" Middle East Quarterly, claims that "As in the case of Iraq, ..."'

Let me explain:

The source of this bribery passage is a publication by the explicitly biased Middle East Forum, a conceivably extremist ('Neocon') think tank, which, for example had spread propaganda to push for the invasion of Iraq ('Why Saddam Husayn (sic) Loves the Bomb'- March 2000, etc). Its Wikipedia entry describes it "explicitly from the viewpoint of American interests". It, in other words, promotes ideology.

The passage, the first under 'Foreign relations' section does indeed seem unnatural and politically motivated. It suggests bribery but without actually providing any information. The phrase 'there are lingering questions' is a textbook case of the 'weasel words' tactic. It's like having a wikipedia section titled: "Are French politicians getting bribed by Syria? (We're not saying they are, just asking a question)" :)

tldr: The entry, from a suspect think-tank, was composed of baseless implications devoid of any actual information. It's both prominent (the first item under 'Foreign relations') and presented as objective information. So I consider that it must at the very least be presented with some context. Grammatically my edit was perhaps inelegant but, however it's done, it should be done.

Congrats, your edits, among others, for the article Togolese_presidential_election,_2010 made someone donate to Wikimedia

Just in case you didn’t notice: congrats, your tireless edits, among others, for the article Togolese_presidential_election,_2010 apparently made the reader Rena Takiguchi appreciate Wikipedians’ hard work so much as to donate to the Wikimedia Foundation, as was reported in the recent Wikimedia blog post: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/01/30/thanking-wikipedia-editors/ BTW I have nothing to do with this matter but just wanted to make sure the rare news reaches you, the substantial contributor of that article.--Yuwash (talk) 13:34, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A blast from your past

The Original Barnstar

I was just squirreling around a little this evening in the deep archives of Jimbotalk and found a really nice little mini-essay that you wrote more than 9 years ago. I was pleased to find that you are still around and thought I'd share your own writing with you, written after the departure of a couple prominent administrators...

"It's true that many Wikipedians don't stick around. There's a frustration factor that easily breaks many people here, it seems. But the sources of the frustration vary so much, and sometimes they contradict, so if you fixed one source you'd create another (to compare here, I fight vandalism quite a bit, but it is a very minimal annoyance for me, not something I would ever consider leaving over—but there are other things that make me truly furious, which others passionately support, and would leave if they were ever changed)...I've come to feel like the tendency of Wikipedians to come and go is not due to any big error we have as a project, but simply due to the temperaments of the people we tend to attract (magnified by the decreased emphathy and effective communication that comes with the Internet), and the high level of frustration that is, for most people, naturally going to come with intense involvement in something like this. In practical terms, I'm not really sure we could do anything to make it better. I can think of minor things that could possibly improve the situation, but nothing fundamental. Regardless, we keep thriving even though people are always leaving, so it shouldn't concern us too much. I remember last December when I came very close to leaving, I think I even announced it on my user page...and another time a few months later I did something similar...but for me, it just didn't stick. I never really even decreased my rate of editing, much less left the project. And after all that terrible stuff, I feel like I've kind of crossed some barrier of frustration where my negative frustration has transformed and given me a renewed energy for the project, and become almost constructive and helpful for me, and I haven't thought about leaving in a long time. —Everyking 4:57 am, 30 November 2005, Wednesday (9 years, 2 months, 31 days ago) (UTC−8)"

Arbitration motion regarding Arbitration enforcement

By motion, the Arbitration Committee authorises the following injunction effective immediately:

The case is to be opened forthwith and entitled "Arbitration enforcement";
During the case, no user who has commented about this matter on the AN page, the AE page or the Case Requests page, may take or initiate administrative action involving any of the named parties in this case.
Reports of alleged breaches of (2) are to be made only by email to the Arbitration Committee, via the main contact page.

You are receiving this message because you have commented about this matter on the AN page, the AE page or the Case Requests page and are therefore restricted as specified in (2).

Change from announced time table for the Arbitration enforcement arbitration case

The drafters of the Arbitration enforcement arbitration case have published a revised timetable for the case, which changes what you may have been told when the case was opened. The dates have been revised as follows: the Evidence phase will close 5 July 2015, one week earlier than originally scheduled; the Workshop phase will close 26 July 2015, one week later than originally scheduled; the Proposed decision is scheduled to be posted 9 August 2015, two weeks later than originally scheduled.

Speaker of the Grand National Assembly

Hi! You've deleted the entry for Deniz Baykal at Speaker of the Grand National Assembly. You think this list would only comprise elected speakers, not honorary doyens who preside briefly at the opening of parliament. What if I don't think so. The entry is to explain the time gap, and the entry was described as "acting". May I kindly ask you for a solid reason not to mention him in the list. Do we have any guidelines for that? --CeeGee 19:11, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

When Baykal presides the parliament for about three weeks, it cannot be considered as ceremonial alone. Most of all other acting speakers earlier were more or less one day in office. That's the difference. --CeeGee 05:29, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
