Civility
Howz this for civility?♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:37, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- There's a different context and it's hard to compare. It must be so relieving to type this kind of stuff in this vast anonymous online space, not to mention possible therapeutic benefits for Wikipedia's stressed out editors :D I wish you all good mental health. Now I'm going back to edit our articles. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 14:53, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- Perfect. It turns out Dr. Blofeld is not a master in tolerance but is completely correct is his assessment. The edits by "Fram" are not working pro Wikipedia, who is, as well said, bringing the site down. And downheartedly this seems totally intentional and done shamelessly by means of sophisms and fallacies embroidered on games (which unfortunately fool many ones, but fortunately not all). Nevertheless, even so many excellent editors (including …me … well, some of "my" articles still exist and they are read by thousands, though mutilated in many cases by "Framers" making use of their grotesque fancies) forsook the creative and inspiring wing of Wikipedia years ago and this goes on nowadays because we just don’t have enough forbearance to argue anymore against these "smart guys"; we are waiting let’s say. We know, seems pretty bad right now; the hyenas are making their feast with this decadent Wikipedia messed up by a number of bureaucratic vultures which still eat the left over of pauperized articles, who don’t create articles at all or only make useless articles that in both cases mean a complete insult to the human soul that quests the light of the knowledge. However let it go, we don’t nurture hate, we still root for Wikipedia. Although we regret to realize how Jimbo sadly managed (kind of) to create his patrols of half and half delusional/aware minions and profits every year with this …for while. But, we see the big picture, and thus we can brag ourselves uncovering that that will not last until the last minute. Also, enjoying this right moment, it is such a satisfaction to see that talks like this remain; viz the legitimate spirit which originated Wikipedia which is the resilient editors that truly believe in that project stay fighting for the democratization of the information and against the ignorance and manipulation. Keep on Dr. Blofeld, congratulations for your boldness. Lignovitae (talk) 21:22, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- Hi WP:SOCKPUPPET! Fram (talk) 07:12, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- Serious Vejvan, if I didn't think ANI was a waste of time I'd report you for inferring that your fellow editors are somehow mentally ill and extract pleasure from attacking people. That's a quite serious thing to say and its one which you should be ashamed of. That's one of the worst forms of personal attacks to imply people are mental cases. I have a gym which is wonderful "therapy" thankyou very much. You should try it some time.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:38, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- Dr. Blofeld, I don't think Lignovitae is a sock of Vejvan at all, but probably some banned editor I have had interacted with in the past. Having this incarnation blocked and reported may be useful (if only to be used when his umpteenth unban discussion starts), but as far as I can tell there is no reason at all to point a finger at Vejvančický here. Fram (talk) 10:02, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

- Oh I didn't remotely think it was. My response was to Vejvan's "I wish you all a good mental health" comment which came across as "I'm wonderfully sane, you're a bunch of mentally ill angry sociopaths who spent your time on wikipedia in therapy swearing at people while I'm wonderfully productive editing articles". Perhaps you could demonstrate your expertise Vejvan and translate Cyril Höschl!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:17, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- You can interpret my comment as you wish, Blofeld. I did the same when I found your "asshole" comment at that AfD. Höschl is a very popular public personality in the Czech Rep. I'll take a look at the article. Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 10:52, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Deletion review of AfD that you participated in
As you participated a few days ago in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flat Bastion Road, I thought you might wish to know that the result of that discussion (to keep the article) is being challenged in a deletion review. If you have any views on this (i.e. whether to endorse the result, overturn it or something else) then please feel free to comment at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2012 October 2. Prioryman (talk) 22:04, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
No other publisher is mentioned in the text of the Milan Kundera article, so it does not seem appropriate to highlight 68 Publishers. Moreover, other works of Kundera besides Life is Elsewhere were also published by 68 Publishers. Do we include mention of the publisher for all of them? If 68 Publishers has played a critical role in publishing Czech authors, that information would seem to belong in the 68 Publishers article (where it already is), rather than in the Milan Kundera article.

Deletion of my webpage
Hello, Antonin.
I see that you deleted my Wikipedia page on the grounds that it is largely lifted from my c.v. I own the rights to my c.v. and authorize Wikipedia to list this information.
Would it be possible please for you to undelete the page or to let me know whom I should contact to request that it be undeleted?
Thank you!
Jon Krosnick — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.147.47 (talk) 16:48, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- Hello Jon,
- I've restored the article and replaced the content with the "Investigation of potential copyright issue" notice. Please, follow the instruction in the template, mainly the section "About importing text to Wikipedia" (Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries). I would also like to point out that copy-pasting of the text of your CV is not enough for Wikipedia. The article should contain reliable references that are independent of the subject of the article. You are the subject, therefore please note that Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopedia, and as such, it doesn't serve to promote anything or anyone. Thanks for your understanding. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 06:51, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
- Vejvančický, I still have the collection User:Churn_and_change/sandbox/Krosnick (WP:GNG is not in doubt at all); unfortunately haven't had time to put together the stuff. Are we sure the IP is Krosnick though? The address belongs to Comcast which has service in the area, but I guess we should ask for direct email to OTRS? I am going to personally contact him to check. I would have preferred to start from scratch. Thanks, Churn and change (talk) 15:46, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
- We can't be sure; that's why I pointed the editor to Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. I also checked the Stanford CV, it is rather informative, not promotional. Of course, it would be better to compile information based on independent sources (...and your sandbox could help). Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 16:33, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
- I got a response from Prof. Krosnick confirming the request was from him. I have asked his permission to post his entire response (minus my id). No, I don't think the CV is promotional; there isn't a need considering his position. Yes, article quality would be much improved with secondary sources. But from a policy point of view, we would have to keep the page though my preference would have been to start from scratch. Churn and change (talk) 02:23, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, but the permission should go through an e-mail to WP:OTRS (permissions-en@wikimedia.org), for the sake of transparency. I agree that the subject's notability is not in question. I'll watch the situation and the article. Thanks for your assistance, Churn and change. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 06:02, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Speedy Delete of Binders
You reasoning for removing the speedy delete of Binders of Women is suspect at best. There was at the time only one editor that had contested it, furthmore that anyone contested it does not change that it fails a7. Please explain your rational. Arzel (talk) 06:07, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Trishneet Arora
- hello dear now help to approve that article again coz now i have uploaded about him not about the book with strong references — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aroratrishneet (talk • contribs) 10:49, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- Hello. I've declined the speedy deletion nomination and made some adjustments to the article. I also watched the AfD although I didn't participate. Trishneet Arora attracted the attention of Indian media, but I'm not sure if it is enough to meet our notability requirements, the articles (all published in a short time span) mentioned he's a very young hacker who's going to publish a book. I would wait until the book comes out and then see what happens and if the book and its author attracted more enduring attention and better coverage for an encyclopedic article. However, the result of the AfD debate was not entirely clear, some argued that it is an example of a person notable for only one event covered in newspapers as one-off news, others claimed that subject meets our general notability requirements. You can take the article for further review at WP:DRV, I think the request might be justified. Btw, there were also issues with possible conflict of interest (your account is named User:Aroratrishneet, are you Trishneet Arora??) and off-wiki canvassing. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 16:02, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- Hello dear how are you ? hope you remember me i am online promoter of Mr.Trishneet Arora we had conversation last month now i want to share he is coming out with his book in couple of days now how we can create his profile again on Wiki. it will be helpful for me. guide me.

Thank you Mr. Vejvancicky.Haanakee (talk) 17:06, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
- You are welcome, Haanakee. I have concerns over some claims in the article ("His political talent was suddenly put to use. Czech society appears to be in need of political leaders whom the voters have confidence in over the long term – particularly his integrity and his seriousness in the fight against corruption" for example) Is it a part of the campaign before the Presidential election? I also asked at the User talk:PanDetrich if you work as a group. The overall shape of the article is not bad. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 06:59, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Eugen Adelsmayr
Vejvančický, I'd appreciate it if you could reconsider Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Eugen Adelsmayr, particularly the Duplication Detector report attached in the comments. I don't intend to revert your alterations, but your edit summary doesn't accurately reflect the extent of close paraphrasing or duplication in the article. Thanks, Mephistophelian (contact) 14:43, 23 October 2012 (UTC).

David Bolduc
Hello
I had my wiki page review and declined. I would like to re write it and re submit it but you deleted the whole thing.. I do not have a saved copy of it anywhere.. Please help USER:syrinxia/davidbolduc
Even though you say there was copy rights issues, i have written authorization to have done what i did by the copy-write issuer.
Thank you in advance for your help
Syrinxia (talk) 18:13, 23 October 2012 (UTC)alex
- The content was copied and pasted from here, so you can find a "copy" at that site. I can send you the list of exhibitions etc. if you have your email enabled. I'm not sure what do you mean by "i have written authorization to have done what i did by the copy-write issuer". Our policy page Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission contains a good explanation of how to obtain copyright permissions here on Wikipedia. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 08:02, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello Again,
If you could send me all the content that was not copied from CCCA that would be wonderful. That would be the intro, exhibitions, books and references please. What i meant to say before was that i have authorization from here, to use what i have copied into my article. But no worries I will a write bio myself.
Thank you Syrinxia (talk) 16:53, 24 October 2012 (UTC)Alex
- Okay, your e-mail address?
- Your claim that you have an authorization is not enough for Wikipedia, that's why I pointed you to Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Anyone can claim to own anything in online space, Wikipedia requires transparent and independent confirmation of a copyright holder that we are allowed to use relevant copyrighted information. Please, click and read the link. Thanks for your understanding. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 20:06, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Removing CSD tags
In future, please read the guidelines in relation to simple removal of CSD tags -- it is not appropriate. It is instead appropriate to discuss it on the article's Talk page; please read the notice. Thank you. Archaios (talk) 11:57, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry, but it was not 'simple removal'. You can find my explanation here (see my edit summary). Btw, I think you are mistaken, as I'm not the article's creator. See WP:CSD: "The creator of a page may not remove a speedy deletion tag from it. Only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so." To me, it means that anyone except the creator can contest speedy deletion of an article. Thanks for your understanding. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 12:04, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
- Hmmm, could you point me to the corresponding part of the WP:CSD guideline? I've removed hundreds (maybe thousands) of CSD tags and it was never problematic. I always explain my actions in edit summaries, at talk pages or user talk pages. If anyone disagrees, there's always a possibility to contact me here. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 12:23, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
- Aha, okay. No problem. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 12:25, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

I read the story of Romanian and Nicaraguan moon rocks .. quite sad, given that they were presented as "a symbol of unity of all human endeavor". The articles seem to be OK, factual, interesting and well referenced. Other editors might reproach you for ref. formatting, but that is a minor issue.

Hey, thanks for taking a look at Welsh Socialist Republican Movement. Obviously declining the speedy is your call and in this case probably more borderline than I thought given the Google Books hits; however I think by citing the age of the article as an argument against deletion you're missing a technicality of WP:CSD. The first footnote at the policy page makes clear that "speedy" refers to the deletion process and doesn't relate to the age of the article, so an article could in theory be years old but still speedily deletable if it met one of the criteria. Anyway, keep up the good work! :) – Arms & Hearts (talk) 15:59, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for contacting me ... on the other hand, anyone can contest speedy or proposed deletion of an article, and that's what I did, the removal was purely procedural. I'm no expert on Welsh politics, but I'd like to see the chances of this article properly discussed. I love to see Wikipedia as detailed as possible. I'm sorry for confusing you with my remark about the age of the article, you are right, it's not important.

Hlasování
Milý kolego, cetl jsem jen cást té obrí diskuse o Ceské republice nebo Cesku. Dovoluji si Vám vyjádriti solidaritu, nebot mám dojem (ac jsem necetl vsechno), ze Vase dobre mínená snaha nebude nakonec úspesná. Pokud tomu tak bylo, ze kdosi (Exon) kdysi narychlo clanek presunul na Cesko a pak se "vyparil" a ono to tak má zustat na veky, tak je to dosti problematické. Ale asi se nedá nic proti tomu statu quo delat. Pomery jsou dosti obtízné. Na cz:wiki pusobí snad 100 az 150 lidí pravidelne, nevím presne. Jsou sice jakási pravidla, ale ta nezarucují bezkonfliktní chod a také ne vseobecnou kvalitu clánku a hlavne obsáhlost cz:wiki.
Já jsem v té kauze hlasovat nemohl, protoze mám sice snad uz 700 nebo více editací, ale nemám na konte zádný zalozený clánek. Nejsem ten, který rychle neco zalozí a pak od toho utece a nechá treba clánek o významném politikovi nebo jiné celebrite ve stavu z roku 2006. To je myslím stav ohledne Michelle Obama (pardon, Obamová). Protoze edituji také na en:wiki a de:wiki, a krom toho mám i jiné zájmy a povinnosti, tak nemohu od rána do vecera sedet nad cz:wiki jako to delají nekterí kolegové. Hlasoval bych pro presun na CR. A kdybych mohl casove, tak bych se podíval na vsechny související clánky. Krome dobrých editací bych nasel mnoho míst, kde bych asi musel zasáhnout - vecné chyby, nedokonalý sloh, nedotazenost a buhvíco jeste.
Jen pro zajímavost. Ohledne clánku o Brne jsem bojoval v poslední dobe o to, aby tam nebylo hned v úvodu neco v encyklopedii naprosto nemyslitelného. Stálo tam tohle: Brno, v nemcine Brünn, v latine Bruna, v hantecu Statl (S s háckem). V srpnu jsem to vymazal, ted v listopadu to tam jeden Moravák zase dal s oduvodnením, ze to tam patrí! Následoval asi po dvou dnech muj revert, pak dalsí editor, který v Brne studoval, to tam zase dal (já s ním mám zkusenosti ze sporu o Klause). Muj skrt, jeho revert, muj skrt v jednom dni. Prubezne s tím diskuse, kterou byste si treba mohl precíst. Argumenty protistrany si sotva dovedete predstavit. Nastestí jsme pak byli zhruba tri nebo ctyri pro to, co jsem zastával já, a jenom ti dva byli pro Statl. Ten zpusobitel od toho vlastne brzo odesel. Nakonec muj hlavní oponent prohlásil, ze mu na tom Statlu ani moc nezálezí. (On a já máme speciální wikipedistický vztah, i kdyz se jinak vubec neznáme. Já jsem ale definitivne o mnoho starsí nez on.) Zustalo to tedy tak, jak to má být. Mezitím jsem já clánek na mnoha místech dále dost upravil, ale chybí tam moc vecí. Mj. jsem pracne preházel kapitoly u "Kultury", protoze to nemelo predtím logiku. Pritom se jedná o Brno. Clánek není celkove spatný, ale mohl by být jeste lepsí.
Zkusenosti jsou tedy ruznorodé. Ale ani na en:wiki to není jednoduché. I tam (vlastne tady) jsou uzavrené klany apod. Nekterí administrátori a jiní prátelé mají velmi autoritativní chování. Dokonce ani Jimmy Wales to nemá jednoduché. Já mám tady svého konícka, ale to uz je neco velmi specifického. Nebudu Vás uz dále zdrzovat, jen to myslím s tou solidaritou vázne a doufám, ze to vsechno prezijete ve zdraví. Hezký vecer Vám preji ve meste, které tusím je nám obema blízké. Pokud mi budete chtít odpovedet, tak klidne anglicky. --Zbrnajsem (talk) 18:24, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
- Zdravím Vás. Tohle by asi bylo lepší diskutovat na cs:wiki ... ale nakonec je to celkem jedno. Stávající kontroverzní stav podporují zčásti redaktoři, kteří po léta nespravedlivý 'status quo' bránili. Je to parta, která pracuje v tamních vysokých patrech a určuje pravidla. Pak jsou tam někteří, které jsem rozčílil tím, že produktivně jako včelička nepíšu články a namísto toho prudím s nepříjemnými otázkami. Ti jsou proti návrhu z principu, jsou totiž spíše proti navrhovateli a jeho troufalosti marnit čas "zbytečnostmi". Opozice je ale stále velmi silná, možná silnější než vládcové, ovšem já se stejně jako Vy obávám, že přes tyhle staré mazáky to nepůjde - to oni určují, co je konsenzus. Myslím si, že by změnu nepřipustili ať už celé to "hlasování" či diskuze dopadne jak chce. Také promarněný čas zde hraje svoji roli → Česko je za ta léta tak zažrané do struktury Wikipedie, že by byla hrůza to celé předělávat a radši to nechají špatně. Musím uznat, že i kvůli tomuto bylo ono dlouhodobé nenápadné potlačování protinázoru chytré a nakonec asi posloužilo svému účelu. No co se dá dělat ... aspoň se člověk dozví, jak to na cs:wiki chodí. Mějte se pěkně :) --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 15:22, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Administrator needed
Hi Tonda. Could you please check the RM discussion at Talk:HC Bílí Tygři Liberec and make the necessary changes? Thank you. Cloudz679 09:49, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Cloudz. I don't think the discussion is complete and I have a different opinion. I commented instead of closing the debate. Hope you don't mind. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 13:49, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
Decline speedy A7, Why?
You seem to imply (or I might be truly getting the wrong idea) that notability is in fact inherited.
Notability of one or more members of some group or class of subjects may or may not apply to other possible members of that group. The fact that one person has famous friends/colleague/relatives is not, in and of itself, sufficient to justify an independent article.
Yes, he might have done collaborative work with famous people but that is not enough to credibly write a whole article about him without significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. The fact of the matter is that it does not indicate that the subject of the article is important or significant ergo it can be speedily deleted under criterion A7.
Moreover, the evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity, nor is the topic unsuitable for any other reason. Sources of evidence include recognized peer reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally. In light of my comment here it's unclear as to why you chose to decline the CSD. Would you care to elaborate a little? Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 17:59, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
- Anyone except the article's creator can contest speedy deletion of an article. I've improved the article as I think Zohar Fresco is a notable exponent of Israeli music [2]. I also added missing citations and sources. Feel free to nominate the article for deletion if you disagree. Thanks. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 08:34, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
Ahoj, I think this article could be pushed to GA without much effort. One of the obstacles is that the musicology section is largely uncited. Did you use any particular source when writing it? I could have a look at the weekend. - filelakeshoe 12:12, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- Zdarec. I replied at Talk:Moravian traditional music. Thanks for your interest. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 14:15, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
What's going on with User:Vejvančický/When Flying Was Easy?
Hi Vejvančický! Just wanted to see what's going on with User:Vejvančický/When Flying Was Easy? The article was initially tagged for deletion in June 2012 under WP:CSD#A9 (as there is no article for the band that made this musical recording). At your request, it was userfied without a redirect so that you could work on it. Since then, there has been no changes. I'm wondering if the A9 issues are going to be addressed at any point, or whether this has now become a WP:FAKEARTICLE? Singularity42 (talk) 21:04, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Singularity42! The article Cookie Duster has been created on 15 August 2012 by User:Bearcat. I've redirected the title of the album to the main article about the band and I deleted my user space draft. Thanks for letting me know. Feel free to notify me if you have any objections. Thanks. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 08:57, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Alexander Albrecht
Hi Vejvančický, I saw, that you wrote in Alexander Albrecht about his father was Ján Albrecht. But I never found something about him. Only about his son Ján Albrecht 1919-1996- Have you some information about the father? --regards K@rl (Bitte hier antworten) 16:32, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
- Also the dead date differs against Munzinger [3]. Perhaps you know more. thx in advance K@rl (Bitte hier antworten) 20:37, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Karl. Munzinger has the following information about his father: "Der Vater Johann war Gymnasialprofessor, später Direktor und Oberstudieninspektor, ferner Kustos des Städt. Museums Pozsony [Preßburg, nach 1918 Bratislava]." Please, note that German Johann = Slovak Ján. During my work, I used mainly the book by Vladimír Godár and I think the dates are correct, see the website of Music Centre Slovakia (the leading musical scientific institute and publishing house in Slovakia), the death date is 30 August 1958. I can check also the Czechoslovak Music Dictionary, Part I, but I can't find it in my littered library collection :) I'll try to find out more, but I think August is correct and Munzinger has erroneous information. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 08:33, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Redirect to Scott Roulet
You removed a CSD tag I placed on a redirect that was left behind when I moved an article to correct the title casing. While I don't have a problem with people contesting CSDs for whatever reason, I see you are rather fond of doing that. That's fine. However, I'd invite you to read through the CSD criteria, specifically the one dealing with general/technical criteria. I'd also recommend examining an article's history and summary comments by people who place tags on them. Deleting a redirect for a brand new page that is the result of a very recent move is not controversial at all. It's left there for a sysop to determine whether or not it's worth keeping around. If you're not sure about CSD tags that fall outside the general criteria used to delete content (e.g. A1, A2, etc) then I suggest you just leave them alone. Cheers. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 20:41, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- I'm sorry. What do you think about sourcing of this BLP article (Scott Roulet)? Is it sufficient? Does the subject meet our notability requirements? Isn't it a promotional page? Do you plan to leave as it is or to work on it? I'll take a closer look at the article tomorrow. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 21:26, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- At first glance he seems to meet at least WP:GNG but it's difficult to verify articles with bibliography references that cannot be found online. I'd go searching on Google, see if you can find some books or reliable websites that can back up the claims made in the article. If not then I'd PROD it. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 21:32, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hmmm, it looks like I might owe you an apology, because I think I tagged it with an R3... which would make your decline perfectly valid :\ It should have been a G6 with custom rationale, which was my second choice. Sorry if that was the case. Anyway, you might be right about this person's bio. Ignoring for a moment the royalty stuff, I cannot source the claims to notability. I mean, there's nothing out there. What do you think? I'd recommend an AFD since the author removed the notability tag, so a PROD is probably going to end up being removed as well. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 21:48, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- Definitely not meeting WP:GNG; took it to AFD directly. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 05:30, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, you tagged with an R3 and I removed the tag, as uncapitalized redirects are common, plausible and non-problematic. Your response was a bit hostile, but I don't think it is that important. I'm glad that now we address the real problem :) I left my comment in the AfD discussion, thanks for letting me know. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 06:55, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
