Reliable sources

What exactley do you mean by reliable sources here? There are already sources about his past teams, his current age/data, and his recent transfer. What exactly isn't good there? Thanks. Catabv23 (talk) 05:49, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Any sources for information about a particular article, particularly claims related to a living person, must be substantiated by inline citations on that particular article page, not by a claim that "one of the references on another page can verify that statement". Active Banana (talk) 15:13, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Actually, that's not true. Go back to citations. The policy states: "When to cite sources: The policy on sourcing is Wikipedia:Verifiability, which requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations. It does not require inline citations for all claims related to living persons, only for claims that are challenged or likely to be challenged. --Crunch (talk) 01:10, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

And the statements had been challenged by me. Active Banana (talk) 01:15, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Paulius Galaune

Hi. looking at John Boydell, which is an arts good article, it looks like i have quite a lot more work to do before it is good enough. I'll see if i can find some pictures of his paintings/stamps. thanks for your help Nefesf9 (talk) 18:13, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

• thanks - do the articles have to be that long and detailed to become good articles, if biographies ? im trying to keep Galaune's article summarised. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nefesf9 (talk • contribs) 18:32, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Response to Username Concerns

Thanks for the note. I understand your concerns. I do work with Chuck Grassley, and my goal is simply to make sure that information about him on Wikipedia is current, accurate and verified. I did not realize that using this name might not be the best username. I simply chose it to provide disclosure, as I wish to work through the community, and let other editors know where I am coming from. I’m familiar with Wikipedia’s conflict of interest rules, and I will take them seriously. If I must change my user name I can, but if this explanation works, then I hope you can help me.

Opinion

What is your opinion on this issue? I think the article title should be without the "Munipical" word in it. Thanks. Catabv23 (talk) 16:58, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

MTM Enterprises

I thought you had a problem with the writing style and not the citation. My mistake. The citation is actually the same as the one for the next paragraph listing all the writers. I thought that citing it at the end of the two paragraphs was sufficient for all of it. Would you prefer the cite to be inserted in all the locations you indicated? Thanks for the input.Dohhh22 (talk) 21:57, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Taryn

Hello, about the edit on the Wrong Hole videoclip: I'm Italian and I can tell you that a lot of non-english speakers knows Taryn thanks to that video. The source are the views and comments on YouTube, a lot of which are from international users, and the thousands of views on the italian/spanish/etc. subbed versions of the video. --WikiKiwi (talk) 09:41, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Need your help

Playback singer wikipedia is for authenticated singers of south asia. I have notice that whenever some authenticated names of famous Pakistani playback singers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_Pakistan) have been entered in the playback singer wikipedia, the editor showed a biased stance and removed those names. Recently, for the first time, I included some names with the source, even then the editor not only reverted that edit but also reverted my another contribution in Naheed Akhtar's wikipedia which clearly reflects his biased nature. He also declared me a sock puppet. I, here by, request you to look into the things yourself and help me in this regard if possible or atleast give a full stop to this biased attitude as Pakistani playback singers have equal rights. I will be highly greatfull. Wisdom24 (talk) 20:50, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Quite astonished...

Hi there BANANA, VASCO here,

I think you have been getting on my case ever since my personal attack on A VANDAL (still not justified, i admit it) on Francisco Yeste. After i worked my tail off in order to get references, you kept on inserting the tags. After a couple more, i asked you "do you think it's good now, can i remove tags?", getting total silence for an answer. By the way, the tags have been removed.

Now, at Alan Osório da Costa Silva (yes it was i who edited anon a few days ago, sometimes i have an idea and don't want to waste time logging in, lest i forget it, and i have nothing to hide, my IP is standard, so...): you removed every sentence that smells a bit like POV, backed up or not by external links (in this case BACKED UP): a guy who plays ALL the league matches IS an undisputed starter, truth of truths, that is not POV, period. I mentioned Ricardo Quaresma because this player was at his prime - at club and national team level - when Alan (not Osório as you wrongly "renamed" him, player is known as Alan!) arrived at F.C. Porto. The only thing in which you were 100% right was the INTRO that reeked of POV ("pacy and scoring winger"), i should not have inserted that in an encyclopedia.

Some more surprises: in late storyline, you removed that Alan scored against Porto "the only goal in a home triumph", meaning the game ended 1-0. What, so me saying one game ended 1-0 is POV too?! Also, i believe that the unref'd tag should remain if some info in storyline looks "suspicious", not remove that "suspicious" info and keep tag altogether.

I have brought up a discussion at WP:FOOTY. Also, i have "tipped" an admin about this stuff. When he reads this message, if/when he says "Vasco, ActiveBanana is correct, you must desist in your approach", you can do whatever you choose, i don't care, if people want their WP articles in poorer quality... Attentively - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 20:32, 15 July 2010 (UTC) (e/c)

1) unless he is ONLY known in reliable sources as "Alan" (in the same manner Madonna is generally only referred to in reliable sources as "Madonna" and not "Madonna Ciccone" or how in reliable sources Pelé is only known as Pelé and a majority of reliable sources do not include any other name identification) we use the real name and not the stage/nickname.

2) for the remainder of your point of view, I suggest you read WP:ASF. We simply state the facts as reported in reliable sources and allow the reader to determine if they consider it a "triumph" or merely a "win". Active Banana (talk) 20:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

• Thanks for the reply: About 1) Check links #1 and #2 to see how he is known please, 100% reliable sources both - a player playing in Portugal for several years now, 2 Portuguese sites. About 2) Totally honest man, not being sarcastic, i write "triumph" in the same manner as "win", just did not want to engage in word repetition (in the opposite pole, like "loss" or "defeat"), i NEVER wanted to engage in POV there (if it's more satisfactory to the site, i'll gladly change the word "triumph"). Cheers - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 21:17, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

• The admin has replied, he also feels some of my inputs (but not 99%, as you) are POV, i duly rephrased it more (the "fine individual effort" bit is now without the "fine", but it was ref'd, has been for months; also replaced the bit "instant first-choice" with a more suitable sentence, especially after i found out it was false, my bad :)). I have not still yet removed the tag, why should i? So you insert it again, like in Yeste, after it had nearly 10 refs? I respect your work (POV/WEASEL is sometimes not far away from vandalism), thought you could do the same with mine. Signing off - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 00:52, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

The article is still lacking any third party reliable sources UEFA.com is "the official Website for European football" and so is NOT a third party for content regarding a European football player.

Panos Markovic

Hi! I've just seen you removed all external links I added. I can understand you removed self-published sources, even though RSSSF is considered a reliable source by WP:FOOTY, but why did you remove the link to Doxa Drama official website (this one), considering the fact that this article is poorly sourced. Tell me. Cheers.--Latouffedisco (talk) 09:44, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Overzealous

You are being overzealous with Mecislovas Gedvilas and looking after user:Nefesf9. The effort is appreciated, but please do not be so strict will all the rules. Relax & cut people some slack before mass tagging everything with clean up tags and citing ten different policies. This is a voluntary project & we are human. We make mistakes, but there is no need to scrutinize every single edit looking for stuff we messed up and then tagging it without any effort to fix/address/discuss the issue. It's very disheartening and does not create a welcoming atmosphere for any editor (a newbie, established editor, or an admin). Take care, Renata (talk) 21:17, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

All I am saying is that you should show a bit of good faith.

SHINee

Hi! This is Farjad. You have helped before in maintaining the good article status of SHINee. I have a request; there is an unregistered IP address who has been changing whole general layout of SHINee article without prior discussion required before making huge edits. This endangers its good article credibility. I reverted his/her edits and mentioned to 'discuss' it first. But he/she continues to edit. There is a general layout for music artist biographies for all wikipedia entertainment articles and it can't be changed. I don't want to start an edit war because that also endangers good article credibility. Do you know how to deal with this or know anyone who can? Thanks! Please reply, I watchlisted your user page and talk page. Farjad0322 (talk) 14:35, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your wellcome message. I think that I will be active user of wikipedia. I have made some changes in the article - Elchin Khalilov, before my changes there was deletet big part of an article from another users. Is it normal that someone deletes a part of an article without making any changes to improve the article and not to allow others to do this. Probably there are some rules to counter this. I also ask for help from you to finalize this and many other articles that I'll take to edit in the future.

With all due respect, sir...

There was little reason for you to come down on me for what you determined to be an unsourced edit. I'm reverting my previous edit and will ask you to watch the video in question before you respond to what I say. --173.54.204.113 (talk) 22:22, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

No, actually, it doesn't. You are being a little too aggressive in your patrolling of the page, and I would suggest you tone it down because that kind of attitude is not conducive to good faith editing. --173.54.204.113 (talk) 22:29, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Please do not threaten me. Another portion of good faith is considering extenuating circumstances, like the ones that exist here. --173.54.204.113 (talk) 22:34, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

You just threatened me again. I will revert, but will also consider filing an AN/I report against you for your threats and failure to assume good faith. --173.54.204.113 (talk) 22:37, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm well aware of the Wiki's policies. I'm also cognizant to the fact that in a fair amount of cases, especially where episode lists for programming are concerned, there may never be enough actual research (by Wiki guidelines) to fully satisfy ever single guideline. That said, however, it doesn't mean that in every single instance that the edits should be automatically disqualified. The Annoying Orange episode list is one of those cases. You may never find an effective third-party source for these episodes. That doesn't mean you have to dismiss every single edit as fancruft, which you have done here. A lot of edits on the episode page are indeed cruft, I will concede. But when you revert edits that you can't define as cruft (i.e., making the descriptions clearer), that isn't assuming the best faith possible. --173.54.204.113 (talk) 22:48, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

You just don't want to admit your fault in this, do you? If that's the case, then why does the Annoying Orange have a page? Come to think of it, why does any television series have an episode list? I presented you with legitimate reasons why there needs to be other consideration. If you're not going to accept them or apologize for threatening me I don't know what else I can do for you. Your overaggressive editing and coinciding failure to assume good faith, quite frankly, is bothersome and it seems like you have a battle mentality going on here. --173.54.204.113 (talk) 22:55, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

BTW, I don't appreciate your condescending attitude. --173.54.204.113 (talk) 22:58, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Disruptive content editing by Shouko0624

Shouko0624 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has been editing content disruptively (removing some info (including birth name in edits such as this) and adding other info) without explanation, without references, and without communicating on any talk page. In some of this behavior, the user could be described as a Genre Warrior. Diffs include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Active Banana (talk · contribs) wrote in this edit that the user "keeps editwarring across multiple pages to do things like claim that a persons father is trivia The user has received a pageful of warnings and made no attempt to communicate back." NativeForeigner (talk · contribs) wrote in this edit 'I blocked shouko for one day, but I"m inexperienced in dealing with disruptive content editors, so please bring it to ANI where people more well versed in this can figure it out.' The user has requested an unblock using the incorrect template, which was procedurally declined.   — Jeff G.  ツ 06:19, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Sounds about right. It's their failure to communicate, and their persistence which is the most bothersome. NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs 06:34, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

I would also point out one of the edits where they are removing all references to the birth name of the person so that the article solely refers to the stagename. That was in a couple of articles, but I forget which right now, and I will be signing off after this. Active Banana (talk) 06:38, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Dear Active Banana,

Thank You very much for Your help. Sorry for that I have not thought of this. There is no need to respond quickly, I think, its early dawn now in America, and I am not in an urge in any aspect.

Of course I do not put my text back, it is prone to ambiguity at each word. I do not even try to reword it, I am not an expert and I lack even English language knowledge.

As far as I know. the words "neurotized" and "posttraumatic" do not affect the person, they affect the pure situation, independent of the "embracing" personality. I wanted to say that on the Hungarian counterpart of that website (daylishyt, a professional cyberbullying site), entirely normal and everyday teens are regularly observed neurotized and posttraumatic, right after the attack. This seems to be the standard and healthy reaction for humans to crime in personal context.

In short, this term has sort of paradoxical nature: posttraumatic behavior is the normal and natural response of human to unnormal situations.

All what surprises me in the whole case that it is presented as extraordinary in the media. In my experiences this behavior counts as entirely normal, healthy and natural, probably species-inherited in our race. I see neither mental nor moral issues. Only the criminal part is what counts as extraordinary (although observed daily in Hungary in great public, due to holes in the legal system). An article could be even beneficial for the victim if it could cut off the tangential or misleading threads (anything prone to moralizing, e.g. uncritical claim of "obscenity", for which no real proof exits), highlighting instead the essence into focus. But I am not sure, let alone authentical, that's why all this would require expert help.

You are right that all my wordings are prone to misinterpretations, not only because I do not speak English, but also because I myself lack true expertise and have only vague concepts. You are right also because both the words "neurotized" and "posttraumatic" are meant vulgarly as mental disorders, although I always use them to pure situations, strictly apart from personality. Following a typical, everyday Hungarian daylishyt-site bullying case, even Buddha and Jesus would act as neurotic, moreover, exactly the opposite would be unusual. IMHO the whole behavior of the victims is inherently normal and natural, moreover, even free of moral issues, only the criminal part and the anonymous organization of the criminals is what makes it important, that's what establisehs notability, e.g.

• how the legal system will tack extremely distributed responsibility in such anon crimes (some amounting to "distributed murders" like the Hope Witsell case),
• what objective responsibility can be attributed to the various service providers and enterprises in the future, if any at all,
• how the legal system will readapt.
• whether cyberbullying will be the leading crime of the next decades.

of course most of these are highly unsourced, unfit yet for Wikipedia, I mentioned them just as possible future examples.

Thank You for removing all my ambiguous words, I have not thought of that these words are usually meant for persons themselves (I never use them so). Of course I do not put my text back, it is prone to ambiguity at each word. I do not even try to reword it, I am not an expert and I lack even English language knowledge.

The essence is only that it would be good to recruit an expert from a portal's task force (it could be done privately through Wikipedia's message sending capability, without any public trace), then most of the debates could be checked and resolved quickly, both the ethical and the factual issues (maybe subject consent would be still needed, I do not know, but in any case, it could be investigated much easier with expert guidance).

I am not mentioning the name now, not even the keywords, but if it can be still inferred through the context of links, pelase feel free to delete also this my message too.

Thank You for Your attention. Of course You do not need to respond, my proposal may turn out to be unusable (I do not know the internals of Wikipedia).

Best wishes and many thanks

Anticyberbullying (talk) 07:20, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Maybe there could be two conditions, which could solve some debates:

1. The right of the subject to delete the article at any time (this would resolve the underage problem, because it would allow reconsideration at any time)
2. A supervision with an appropriate expert whom the subjects accepts (this could deter further victimization)

A pro for the article could be that it could "overshadow" the media articles and deter victimization, if written with both external expertise and continuous (quit-any-time) approval of the subject. Wikipedia has the best googlejuice, this can be both a rescue (relief) and a nuisance here for the subject. In case of extreme expert control and subject feedback, it can be harnessed as a rescue.

I do not know whether it is usual (or possible at all) on Wikipedia to link an articles's "licence" to preset continuous "conditions". If not, then of course the above two proposals are invalid.

Hi Banana, I've been looking over your contributions and you certainly seem to do good work here. I've gone ahead and issued you rollback rights.

But I've put then back, until it's finished (ish). I can understand why your peeved, as I saw somebody do the same to you. Also I don't know where you get the idea that i'm some new wikipedian. I've been editing wikipedia for 3-4 years. scope_creep 20:11, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Lee Jun Ki, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please do not take credit for what others have done like you did on this article. Jenaveev18 (talk) 19:10, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit war warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mobbing. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Penbat (talk) 19:22, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs 18:29, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

You said "Content presented in articles, particularly content about living people MUST be presented in WP:NPOV format NOT tabloid gossip interpretations.. Active Banana (talk) 15:26, 4 August 2010 (UTC)"''. Well then if that's the case why not reformat the sourced content instead of outright deleting it and getting into an edit war?

You said Any content that beings with "apparently" is completely inappropriate WP:OR. Active Banana (talk) 15:31, 4 August 2010 (UTC) If you're only opposed to the word apparently, then taking it out would remove your objection to the content, correct? Conrad940 (talk) 15:42, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

You said The fact that YOU used the word "apparently" signals to me that the sources do not explictly support the claims. Pre judging my intent because I used of certain words? Did you read the source? If you did, how would you form your content that would convey the same message as the content I contributed? Conrad940 (talk) 15:50, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

You said Because the source you used is not in a language that I read and so I cannot place appropriate content into the article. But I CAN tell that what you inserted is NOT appropriate. Active Banana (talk) 15:37, 4 August 2010 (UTC) Well then based on the source cited, how would you form the content that WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO YOU? Conrad940 (talk) 15:42, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

You said Based on the article, yes I am prejudging that anything that vaguely appears POV push, is very likely a POV push and needs to be stopped immediately. Active Banana (talk) 15:53, 4 August 2010 (UTC). Good. So then, something short of plagiarizing a source is not POV, correct? Conrad940 (talk) 15:59, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Could you comment on whether i've quoted you correctly, and captured the context of your comment, at the bottom of this thread? --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 15:57, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

just a note

I think you showed a lot of class here. I agree that it was humane under the circumstances to let the "moron" remark pass. It also raises the question of what we're willing to do as a "community" when other editors lapse into unhelpful language for emotional or psychological reasons we aren't in a position to assess. It's a problem of WP:IRL — the product is real, the editors are real, but the "community" is virtual and lacks many of the flesh-and-blood cues we need in order to know how to treat each other. Therefore, I appreciated your quick willingness to respect another editor's humanity. Cynwolfe (talk) 19:45, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

RE: Adalberto Román

Hi Active Banana (one of the best names I've come across in Wikipedia, by the way). Olé is a horrible source, its a tabloid sports newspaper with a reputation of incompetence when it comes to fact checking and accuracy. But it is useful for verifying basic information (Adalberto Román moved from Libertad to River Plate). In the same reference it says that the transfer was made for a 3 million US dollars fee, while the other reference provided (Diario ABC Color) says it was closed for 3,6 million. Those cases are when Olé can't be trusted and a different source is required.

Regarding notability, I understand that the subject passess the Athlete guidelines, having played more than 80 games on a fully professional league. Therefore, I'll remove the tag if you concur (is that a word?) with my opinion. Regards. Fache (talk) 04:54, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Show just cause

Please show me the areas of the article that require additional sources. And I'm not talking about random points. I need to see points that could potentially undermine the article. And could "citation needed" templates be added to the individual sentence instead. The article has about 5 paragraphs. How many more sources does it need? It's so easy to slap unnecessary and unattractive templates on the pages, instead of taking 5 minutes out of your time and updating the page yourself. Orane (talk) 22:51, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Initial response: WP:V applies to ALL content not just what "could potentially undermine the article".

And if you want to dictate to me how I spend my Wikipedia time, then you can hire me, until that time, you're not the boss of me. "Wikipedia is a volunteer community, and does not require its users to give any more time and effort than they wish. Focus on improving the encyclopedia itself, rather than demanding more from other users."Active Banana (talk) 23:36, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

First off, I'd never want to hire you. Secondly, follow your own advice and improve articles (tagging them is not improving them). And thirdly, your work here has nothing to do with me, except when you blindly revert my edits, and can't even back it up with a proper explanation. Have a nice day. Orane (talk) 04:19, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Tagging certainly is a step towards improving the project. It lets those who have access to sources know where they can go to make improvements and more importantly it makes readers aware that 1) they should be aware that the content in an article is only as good as the sources and 2) that we are aware of the limitations of the tagged articles and are not trying to foist off second rate goods as prime content. Active Banana (talk) 04:31, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

To be honest, and this may sound cynical, no one thinks of Wikipedia articles as "prime content". But I digress. WP:Verifiability states "in practice not everything need actually be attributed. This policy requires that anything challenged or likely to be challenged." I've gone through the article a number of times and nothing is likely to be challenged, and nothing could potentially undermine the article or violate BLP. Yes, tags are important, but definitely not when they are overused and unnecessary, like it was, in this particular article. And it's like I have to fight to keep unnecessary tags out. One user thinks that a point needs sourcing, and suddenly, the entire article is tagged. The articles look so extremely shabby and tasteless. Orane (talk) 04:40, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

"To be honest, and this may sound cynical, no one thinks of Wikipedia articles as "prime content"." I think you are very much wrong, otherwise Wikipedia would not be one of the first 5 hits for any topic that you search for. Active Banana (talk) 04:46, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

No matter how annoying it may be, when someone puts a tag on a particular sentence or section, then the content per definition has been challenged. Now you may argue that some of that content is evident in references used elsewhere in the article, and thus remove the tag as been superfluous... But if the tagger persists, then you have to put a reference to the text - and all that would take, in such a case, is to make a named reference and reuse a reference already in the article. I do agree that articles can end up being overtagged or over-referenced - but this is the way that WP works. --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 16:03, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

I think I'm very much right for the simple fact that high schools and universities all warn against using Wikipedia for a myriad of reasons, ranging from the fact that articles aren't written by professionals, to the fact that they are unstable and may be changed by anyone at anytime. Wikipedia is popular because it's popular (circular, but true), not because it's "good". Orane (talk) 04:59, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Of course they warn against using WP. I'd warn against it as well - but not because WP is bad, or wrong.... WP should always be seen as a beginning step in any sort of fact-gathering/research, which is also the reason why references are so damned important. You should always be critical of sources. --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 16:06, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Dock jumping - thanks

Thanks for your input at Dock jumping. I'm slowly trying to improve what was originally a very poor article. You were 100% correct to tag the article and remove the external links. I'm going to work to find third party sources which are not directly from one of the organisations that run dock jumping competitions. Any further contributions would be very welcome. --Simple Bob (talk) 18:33, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

I have added a few references which are an improvement on the previous ones which were nearly all from the jumping organisations such as Dock Dogs, Ultimate Air Dogs, etc. I do consider the United Kennel Club to be a reliable source though, what do you think about that particular one? Otherwise most of the references that I have added are from news sources - using only recognised organisations and staying away from blogs etc. I'm going to leave your tag on the article though, I'll leave it to you or someone else to determine whether or not it is appropriately referenced. --Simple Bob (talk) 21:27, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Christian Marrero

I don't know if you already knew this; if you did, please ignore me. However, when you BLPPROD an article and someone else removes it without providing at least one source, as happened here, you can reinsert the tag, if you wish. Cheers. Salvio ^{Let's talk 'bout it!} 23:00, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Banana, You deleted the section I had edited under Mohammed Rafi called Legacy citing reason as Source. I had provided links to all those singers who were inspired by him. If you check the specific pages of those singers, it is mentioned in them that they were inspired by Mohammed Rafi. My Edit was (Many successfull Indian playback singers were inspired by Mohammed Rafi and adopted his style of singing. While Mahendra Kapoor was his contemporary and yet swore allegiance to his voice, Anwar, Shabbir Kumar, Mohammed Aziz and Sonu Nigam continued the legacy after his death.) Kindly check the links and you will find the Source in the relevent pages of the other singers that I have mentioned.

Siobhan Magnus

May I ask what about the previous edit was irrelevant? You removed the names of her parents as well as a paragraph on her high school drama club experience. Even Lady Gaga's article has information on high school musical performances and roles. Please clarify this, as there are quite some people wondering why you reverted the edit.

Bulletinspace (talk) 17:33, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

- So you're saying it's relevant Lady Gaga was in her high school's drama club and it's not relevant that Siobhan Magnus was. Okay, the meaning of the name is irrelevant, granted. And what better sources for her parents' and siblings' names do you suggest, if not a local newspaper (Cape Cod Times) that has interviewed both her parents? Don't get me wrong, I just want to know what we need to do in order to expand this article and make it better, when there are barely any other sources than local/regional newspapers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bulletinspace (talk • contribs) 18:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

- Personally, I think a musician's background (including vocal and instrumental training) is important, but maybe that's just me. What about her parents' and siblings' names? Also irrelevant? Bulletinspace (talk) 18:27, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

-- And the Cape Cod Times isn't reliable enough? I would think they know the names of the people they interviewed. Might seem rude if they'd been calling them the wrong names all along. Bulletinspace (talk) 19:02, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Whatever about the sources, my problem with what you did with that page is that you also erased the whole page NOT JUST THE SOURCES THAT YOU COMPLAINED ABOUT. So if you are going to use the rollback feature USE IT IN THE RIGHT TIME AND PLACE.Inka 888 (talk) 23:19, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Advizor Solutions

you deleted segments of the Advizor Solutions article saying that it was "promotional crap". It was simply listing information about products the company has to offer in an unbiased way. The fact that the company offers these products is fact-based.--Benj2199 (talk) 15:19, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Can you please respond to my question about Tableau Software? I'm simply trying to create a truthful, accurate and unbiased Wikipedia entry while abiding by all rules and guidelines. However, it becomes confusing when I try to imitate the format from another Wikipedia entry and you're telling me it not allowed. Why is this format of listing a company's products allowed in some cases but not in others? --Benj2199 (talk) 15:31, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

ActiveBanana, I think you are trying to be constructive, but perhaps you are not sufficiently aware that there is ongoing debate on the Geller article about what constitutes appropriate sourcing in this article. Your addition of the tag really isn't necessary - people already know that - and indeed it is a little provocative in the present climate. I hope you will please proceed with caution. Thank you.

Hello.

Are you from Wikipedia or a Filipino fan? I am a fan of music and I adhere to Wiki's mission to provide accurate information. You have been deleting my contributions to The Pin-Ups. they are a legit band with a legit background. You are either nitpicking or a Filipino with a bad case of crab mentality. Worse, if you're not Filipino then you are dangerously close to being labelled a racist. Why can't a Filipino band be on Wikipedia? FYI, there are other Filipino bands on this site--why aren't you picking on them too? I just need to understand.

Putting up information regarding The Pin-Ups is not quantified as being biased nor is it being a "fanatic". Please do your research regarding this band's legitimacy before you censor others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dostro (talk • contribs) 15:57, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I think User:Jrod2 may have been a little over-reactive in his/her response. Active Banana ( ^bananaphone 00:31, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I disagree. A heading of "possible sock puppet", with an edit summary of "possible sock", while the Fastily Sock account is clearly tagged that it is an alternate account, with links to the appropriate policies as to why it's permitted...hard to push AGF that far when there's a history of both a) not reading and b) huge misunderstanding of a wide range of policies.

Speedy deletion tag on Ngayong Nandito Ka declined

Hi Active Banana, I've declined your A7 tag for Ngayong Nandito Ka. WP:CSD#A7 doesn't apply to films. I cite this part of the criterion: "This criterion applies only to articles about web content and to articles about people, organizations, and individual animals themselves, not to articles about their books, albums, software, or other creative works." This is a creative work. It does, however, look like a good candidate for AfD. Thanks, Airplaneman ✈ 03:32, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Please correct

Hello, while you edited today Eido Shimnao page you reverted my edits in Bibliography. Why? Tao did the same. This had nothing to do section allegations. Please reinstate my edits to Bibliography ASAP. Also I do not know why you reinserted the section allegations in present form. The language of it is obviously inappropriate to BLP and in sources provided by Tao version there is nothing to support the wording of it. Previous version done by Slp1 was agreed by consensus during long discussion. Please, read these discussions carefully? Obviously two added sources you questioned are not valid. Thank you. Spt51 (talk) 17:15, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Edits on All India Trinamool Congress

I don't really see it as a BLP vio. It seems like it has a bit of undue weight, and a little negatively phrased, but everything there (I think) is included in the articles. Why do you see it as a BLP vio? NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs 03:53, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I hadnt fully read the second source. The first source was phrasing everything as vague allegations while the proposed phrasing in the article was stating connections as facts. After fully reading the second source I realized that they were making more concrete statements and BLP was not appropriate validation for immediate withdrawal of the statements from our article.

Geller

Huh. Thanks. That's odd. Well, I think we generally give fairly wide leeway for people and entities to describe themselves how they describe themselves; if someone has a WP:RS that questions that belief then we can summarize the dispute, but absent good sourcing for calling that into question I don't see any reason to throw that kind of water on someone's own opinions about what they believe. Do you? Does such sourcing exist? — e. ripley\^talk 20:14, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Dealing with uncited sources

Active Banana, even though I support your recent removal of material in Information security because of the material's poor quality, I figured that you indiscriminately remove information you find uncited. I highly discourage such actions when they concern information that is neither incorrect nor potentially libelous or otherwise discreditive as they are ultimately detrimental to building up a knowledge base. I support removal of material tagged with {dubious} and all uncited information in BLPs, but text that is not even potentially harmful should only be deleted when understood to be wrong or when obviously doubtful.

Hi, I noticed that you have tagged Siti Nurhaliza article with "Fan's point of view" tag. Please help me in pointing which part of the article is problematic, cause I'm using Mariah Carey and Beyonce's article as references on how to rewrite the article where both articles are either Featured Article or Good Article. I'm on my way of removing peacock words and providing reliable links for the article.Syfuel (talk) 08:17, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Oh, okay. For the first point, it can't be helped, she has been always addressed as "Siti", because it is a Malay name, refer this Malay Names, for that, I've added a description on top of the article: This is a Malay name; the name "Tarudin" is a patronymic, not a family name, and the person should be referred to by the given name, "Siti Nurhaliza". For the second one, I think I better remove that part, because it is kinda hard to find sources way back in the 90's to support that. For the third one, I'll try my best, but so far, none of the sources came from her recording company except from her official website and newspapers. And I have been trying to clean all the links by added reliable sources. Thanks for the heads-up. :) Syfuel (talk) 09:13, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

As all of the things that you have found out as problematic has been discussed and solved, I have removed the tag. If you still think some parts of the article are still problematic, please simply point it to me, and I'll try to solve it immediately as sometimes I do need some advices from the other party to improve the article to the highest level possible.Syfuel (talk) 10:59, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
