Bob Hagan reverts

The reverts you are allowing contain personal remarks and statements grounded in zero facts. The attempts by other political parties to smear this person are not allowed and violate Wikipedia terms of use. Please do not continue to revert these pages as they in violation and an attack on a political figure.


Orphaned non-free media (Image:BGW-OldLogo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:BGW-OldLogo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:39, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd delete it myself if I could. I replaced it with Image:BGW-OldLogo.jpg Uncle Milty (talk) 13:28, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I had removed some poorly sourced claims in this article, which a new anon IP has been reverting back in. Now you have reverted the same material back. Boodlesthecat Meow? 01:29, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

There's nothing wrong with removing poorly sourced material. Why are you being contentious about it? Boodlesthecat Meow? 01:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Leaving aside your uncivil claims about my "pattern", let's review together this section:
  • In the United States, there have been crimes committed against whites on the basis of their ethnicity. These crimes are often localized and occur in areas where whites are a racial minority. They do not receive the same media attention as other racially motivated crimes.[1]
This is sourced to a "Loompanics" website. Is this a reliable source to you?
  • The Nation of Islam, a religious and social/political organization with the self-proclaimed goal of improving the condition of the Black people in America, has been described as espousing antiwhite and antisemitic views.[2] and anti-white.[3]
this is sourced to weak refs that do not demonstrate "Racism against white Americans", which is the name of this section.
  • Some Black nationalists propagate pseudohistory to emphasize alleged Black superiority over whites.[4]
There is no indication has this demonstrates "Racism against white Americans".
Please stop reverting poorly sourced contentious material. thank you. Boodlesthecat Meow? 02:00, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
OK, if you think "Loompanics" is a reliable source for an article on racism, then we are obviously on different wavelengths. I'll remove the poorly sourced information with an explanation on the talk page. Cheers. Boodlesthecat Meow? 02:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Userpage Repair

Not a problem, the same IP vandalized my page as well and I noticed he had edited another user page so I took a peek and fixed it :) SyBerWoLff 17:29, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

James Buchanan

As an historian and a supporter of tolerance and civil liberties for all, I deny that acknowledging the historical fact that we have had a gay president is "unconstructive". Please leave historical corrections to the historians. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.17.170.95 (talk) 20:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Just asking

Recently on an IP address that vandalized Nicole Richie, you put a message on the talk page that looked like this:

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make any unconstructive edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant warnings.

What template is that; I need to know. Thanks, Astrale01talkcontribs 23:45, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Goth - Fashion

Milty: I would like to dispute your ubndoing my revision to the Goth fashion section. Describing goth fashion as morbid and dark is just as much personal opionion as describing it as ridiculous.

I therefore argue that if you are going to undo my edit you should revise the whole description of goth fashion to remove any personal opinion whatsoever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.147.174 (talk) 14:34, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

You mean here: Goth subculture? You could have chosen to rewrite the description properly yourself. Why not try that? --Uncle Milty (talk) 14:37, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Milty - I don't disagree with the descriptions of dark and morbid for goth fashion but I also agree that Goth fashion is ridiculous. I am more than happy to change the description to this but want your assurance that you will not revert it - otherwise there isn't much point is there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.147.174 (talk) 14:49, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

So long as your edits meet Wikipedia's guidelines, especially wp:npov, then you can be confident that no editor is likely to revert your edits. --Uncle Milty (talk) 14:55, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Goth - Fashion

Milty - I would like to argue against your reverting my edit regarding goth fashion. The current statement that goth fashion is stereotyped as dark and morbid is just as much personal opinion as stating that it is stereotyped as ridiculous, dark and morbid.

I would therefore like to request that you revert back to my edit or otherwise revise the entire section to remove any personal opinion whatsoever. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.147.174 (talk) 14:44, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Uncle Milty, thank you for your work on the Midland College page ... it DOES look cleaner following the 'According To-ectomies' you performed. I shall use that for my guideline in future changes/updates to that page. Mcwebeditor (talk) 19:30, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

You have accused me of vandalism here [1]. 1) the message of SP was not placed by an admin: this is the real vandalism 2) there are no evidences to support the claim. Best regards--Barba Nane (talk) 13:22, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Anyone can add appropriate template warnings. --Uncle Milty (talk) 13:25, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
But there are no evidences. I live in Europe and Ragusino in South America. No chek user was asked. Anyway I was in good faith, so do not accuse me of vandalism. --Barba Nane (talk) 13:45, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

On the Article "Melting Pot" you removed a picture...


What is the reason you do not want this picture beside this text in the melting pot article that you removed? Dr CareBear (talk) 22:17, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


Move your threat of blocking that you placed on my talk page here. I have been a editor of Wikipedia for over a year.


January 2009 Please stop adding inappropriate images to Wikipedia, as you did to Melting pot. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing. Why lie when anyone can visit my talk page? Uncle Milty (talk) 22:25, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

You failed to look at the message I left on your talk page which is above. Lie about what? I do not know what you are talking about. Why are you accusing me of lying? Lying about what? The picture I added to the melting pot article was appropriate so you are the one who is lying about something. Dr CareBear (talk) 22:31, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


You have falsely accused me of vandalizing an article in the history of melting pot. Dr CareBear (talk) 22:37, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

The image adds nothing encyclopedic to the article. --Uncle Milty (talk) 23:48, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

On the contary the picture supports the text in everyway. The whole article of melting pot is about blending of white races and the prohibition of asians aand white people mixing as well as others. The picture provides and example for people to see what the fuss was all about. Using unsupported bellowing like that you could claim any picture was unencyclopedic. Dr CareBear (talk) 01:11, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

STOP adding that picture and quote from the article to my talk page. --Uncle Milty (talk) 01:14, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

After looking over your talk page I understand you now. You defended poorly sourced material making claims about racism toward whites perpetrated by non-white races in the article called Racism in the United States. It would appear that your motivation to remove the picture from the melting pot article is hatred of other races other then white and that the picture simply offends you because it is a picture of a multiracial child. Dr CareBear (talk) 02:00, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

I guess you would be wrong about that also. --Uncle Milty (talk) 02:02, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Oh, and BTW, thanks for the IP address. It's interesting to see the edits your alter-ego does. --Uncle Milty (talk) 02:05, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

LOL!!! Alterego? That is just me forgeting to log on. Dr CareBear (talk) 02:10, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Ah, it is tough to remember when you are logged in. Just ask FILJOY. --Uncle Milty (talk) 02:30, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

And that is my wife who originally wanted to put the picture on Wikipedia of our child. She is a Filipina. She has given up doing this herself however and has returned to www.youtube.com with her usual posting of comments there on videos. Dr CareBear (talk) 03:50, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Abusing Wikipedia:Twinkle as you do can get you blocked.

You should read Wikipedia:Twinkle because it states that abuse of it can get you blocked. Dr CareBear (talk) 01:39, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Good thing I'm not doing that. --Uncle Milty (talk) 01:49, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Dr CareBear (2nd nomination) for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. Uncle Milty (talk) 04:22, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

This is not true. My wife shares this same computer and created her own account called FILJOY which she used only once. She spends most of her time on www.youtube.com viewing videos from the Philippines as she is a Filipina and posting comments there. Uncle Milty seems to be racially motivated in his false charges of vandalism he has made against me. Because I forgot to log on he found my wife's account she created. I have been editing Wikipedia for over a year and I know Sockpuppetry is a violation and I reframe from it. The account in question called FILJOY was my wife. P.S. You can call me and my wife at 937-938-6686 USA where we are currently. Dr CareBear (talk) 04:33, 5 January 2009 (UTC) Please see my reply to Uncle Milty (talk).

"Racially motivated" says the guy who goes on and on and on about the race of his wife. Seems to me that race is your issue, not mine. --Uncle Milty (talk) 04:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

It is right here on your talk page of how you were in dispute with someone you did not even reply to about how you supported poorly sourced material in the article "Racism in the United States" regarding racism of non-whites against whites. And then you remove a picture from melting pot that supports the paragraph it is next to and it appears you did it because "race mixing" offends you. Dr CareBear (talk) 04:57, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

You can make any assumption you like, I guess. Once again you would be wrong, though. BTW, Melting pot doesn't need photographic support. --Uncle Milty (talk) 05:00, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Here is what I said earier above.... After looking over your talk page I understand you now.

Dr CareBear (talk) 02:00, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Repeating it doesn't change the fact that you are wrong. --Uncle Milty (talk) 05:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Uncle Milty. I just wanted to drop you a note saying thank you for helping in protecting this page and for trying to educate the IP into becoming a useful editor at Wikipedia. As you are aware they have devolved into vandalism. So I also wanted to let you know that I have filed a request for protection here [2]. If accepted we should get some peace for a time. Otherwise I know that you will keep up the good work of protection. Thanks again and cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 21:55, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Gideon Koren

Hi Uncle Mitty,

No hard feelings. I value the hard and I imagine somtimes thankless work of WP editors. I have already posted these comments by the Gideon Koren page. In the light of my remarks I hope you will accept my reversion was not vandalism. Given that unidentified people seem bent on amending my copy, is it possible to lock the page?

Just posted:

The Mclean's article cited is partial. It is largely a review of and dependent on the views in the book The Drug Trial by Miriam Schuchman. The article author does not use any comments from Olivieri or her supporters. The British Medical Journal panned The Drug Trial, saying, "It is disappointing that Shuchman's book hardly touches on these issues. Instead, it retells the story from a worm's eye view, dwelling on the personalities of the people involved, what they said about each other, who was sleeping with whom, and the tricks they got up to blacken each other's reputations." (Chrsitopher Martyn BMJ.2005; 331: 115) Professor Arthur Schafer, Director of the Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics at the University of Manitoba has written about Shuchman's book. (Bioethics , Vol. 21 (2) 2007, pp 111-115). He concluded, "I was repeatedly struck by how often Shuchman's account of events is contradicted by the findings of a series of independent inquiries - all public documents, all easily obtainable. Almost all of the anti-Olivieri "revelations" presented in Shuchman's book are warmed-over versions of allegations already disproven by one or more of these impartial inquiries, and the others are undocumented hearsay."

David Healey in the Monash Ethics Review also cast doubts on The Drug Trial. (Vol. 24, No 4, 2005 – available at http://www.healyprozac.com/AcademicStalking/Post%201%20-%20The%20Drug%20Trial.pdf ) “Having investigated the Olivieri case, long before this book came out, I can say that there are lots of similar background events in this case that just do not feature in The Drug Trial. I can also say that again and again, the specific details outlined in this book seem to me simply wrong.”

The Wiki entry in question is about Gideon Koren. Biographical entries do not exist for PR purposes. I mentioned Olivieri because she was a recipient of the hate mail sent by Koren and CAUT found other behaviour by Koren that involved Olivieri that fell well short of the mark. It is not reasonable or fair to relay innuendoes about Olivieri in Wikipedia without citing credible sources.

My name is here for all to see. I have no connections with either Koren or Olivieri. I invite others, especially those who edit my copy, to make known their names and any connections with Koren or institutions and companies that he is associated with. Paul Burns —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wendwell (talkcontribs) 15:34, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

I moved Springatlast's version to the talk space because I thought it was an improvement of your version but that it still required more sources in order to achieve an appropriate biography of a living person, which must take extra care not to be libelous. I hope you will not vandalize by reverting to your own version repeatedly and not allowing any edits. I do find positive reviews of the book you mention, as well. Let's work on a balanced version. All sources have their bias, including sources like the teachers' union you used. I respect Wikipedia's protection of the biographies of living persons and hope you will, too. Ciche (talk) 02:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Tag

A bit overprotective aren't you? If you think the page shouldn't be tagged maybe find some sources. It's a pile of bullshit as it stands. I'm undoing YOUR vandalism. --86.45.204.34 (talk) 21:46, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

It is properly cited, the refs weren't built correctly. --Uncle Milty (talk) 21:54, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
One site? Excuse me but this would not be tolerated ANYWHERE else. If you have the power to block me for MY actions and do so you should be banned for life. No preferential treatement. We're not a fansite. We're not for fancruft. We are for fact. Encyclopedic fact. I wonder how many non-American editors would be on your side? --86.45.204.34 (talk) 23:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
"We"?? You're just some anonymous user. Feel free to register and/or log in and take responsibility for your edits. As it is right now, nothing you have done to the article has been constructive. Just adding an unnecessarily long list of template tags doesn't help the article. --Uncle Milty (talk) 00:07, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Stop. Now.

This is totally unacceptable; don't even try to defend it. – iridescent 00:14, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Fine, I don't need to defend it anyway. The diffs speak for themselves. I'll just let this person continue to vandalize the articles. Sorry if I've bothered anyone. --Uncle Milty (talk) 00:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Tags are not acts of vandalism if applied appropriately as they are in my case. Consider this a test. Would you respond differently if I were a user with 40,000 + edits applying tags in this way to "your" page? You can be constructive by working on those articles so that those tags can be justifiably removed instead of preventing the page from improvement. You have to understand that from an outsider's pint of view this list of pets looks dodgy at best. --86.45.204.34 (talk) 00:24, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Applying five variations of the same tag to a page isn't constructive. Apparently even other editors are beginning to agree. --Uncle Milty (talk) 00:31, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Both of you, quit edit-warring over this. If I see another "reverted edits by…" or another personal attack from either of you, I'm blocking you for editwarring. – iridescent 00:40, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I have not made a single personal attack in this dispute. I have a reasonably flawless history of vandalism reversion and I am proud of that. That I am being labeled the 'bad guy' in this is really sad. Really really sad. --Uncle Milty (talk) 00:46, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

revert on self-hating jew

hi! you reverted my edit. just curious to see if you looked at the sources i was referring to before you reverted it. The source in question is alon dahan, author of articles declaring uri avnery is a nazi. "political opponents" seems to be an inaccurate description of this source. the correct one is right-wing columnist, or possibly editorial columnist. please review the article and source and discuss on the talk page. thanks. Untwirl (talk) 18:53, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

No it's not. Read the source again. The names "Alon Dahan" and/or "Uri Avnery" do not appear anywhere in the source article. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 19:02, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
I read the wrong source. I tried reading the correct source, but it is not in English. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 19:04, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Calling someone you are angry with a "Nazi" is pretty typical of Israeli hyperbole. I can remember a 12 year old kid, whose younger brother "borrowed" his marbles and lost them all in a game, calling his brother a Nazi (and a few other things too). That's Israel. I think that for a WP article it would be better to stay away from words like "Nazi" for anyone who did not actually belong the the Nazi Party, or declared such sympathies. Malcolm Schosha (talk) 19:10, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
What? are you refuting the fact that dahan is a "right-wing columnist, or possibly editorial columnist"? your comment is completely off topic. i'm copying this to the talk page so poor uncle milty doesn't have to deal with this on his talk page. please reply there. Untwirl (talk) 19:21, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Has he called himself a Nazi, or is that just what an opponent called him? Look, Untwirl, I have been a Socialist my entire life, but I will not put down someone I don't like as "right-wing." life to more complex than that. Sometimes I like those right wingers better than my political "friends", who often act like jerks. Malcolm Schosha (talk) 19:26, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
PLEASE take this discussion back to the article's talk page. It has nothing to do with me. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 19:32, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Sorry about that. Malcolm Schosha (talk) 19:34, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


Sodomy

Clearly you know nothing about the religious movements toward the theistic endorsement of mass sodomy in the populace I suggest you remedy your ignorance before making any such edits which dislighten the public and create a pandemic of homophobic thought in line with your own. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terry.the.ferry (talkcontribs) 05:05, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

You are referencing this edit you made, and that I subsequently reverted: diff I reverted your edit only because it was inappropriate for a disambiguation page. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 05:11, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough.

But his edit pattern (section by section deletion and then going back to doing it again three days later) suggests 'intent' to me. Sometimes giving them a hard warning right off can nip this in the bud. HalfShadow 22:06, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

True enough, but I still defer to WP:BITE on such matters. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 22:12, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

How to do it? im kinda lazy reading instructions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pubmix (talkcontribs)

Please restore my edit.

I did not make an unconstructive or test edit on the Planned Parenthood entry. Please restore my edit. It was necessary and previously neglected. If people cannot learn complete facts on Wikipedia, then there is no point to it at all.

Men / People On The Moon

Thank you for identifying as vandalism and reverting the pages where one registered individual seems determined to amend the pages to "men." As this seems to be a continuing pattern, is it possible to request semi-protection of these pages for a while, or some other method to avoid the vandalism? Thanks so much for your help, and feel free to respond on my talk page if that is easiest. SpaceHistory101 (talk) 04:16, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Following the advice of another editor, I have also raised the subject at WT:SPACE, if that is helpful. SpaceHistory101 (talk) 04:44, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


They are now doing it with a different IP, 130.18.233.194, also registered to Mississippi State University. I second the request to protect all 24 of these pages from this vandalism. They don't appear to want to talk about it, only to continue to log in with different IPs from the same facility. Edgeshappy12 (talk) 22:52, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

The recent addition of a 2004 lawsuit is fine (in my view) provided the source meets WP:RS. The sourced site has a sensationalist quality to it, and the article does not have a byline so I've punted this up the the RSN. See this discussion of World Daily News as a reliable source here [3].

Vandalism warnings

Hello Uncle Mitty. I found your vandalism warning to me ill thought out. First of all the edit was constructive. As I mentioned in my edit summary, Bills Smith has an entry in the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians which certainly indicates notability just by the fact that he is included. Here is the exact entry from Grove:

Smith, Ben(jamin J.)
(b Memphis, 1 March 1905). American alto saxophonist and clarinetist. After playing with lesser-known ensembles in Tennessee and Texas he led his own band, the Blue Syncopators (1927–9). He worked briefly in Omaha, Nebraska, and led a group in Kansas City, then played with the bandleaders Jesse Stone (1929), George E. Lee (1930), Grant Moore, and Eli Rice. In 1932 he led the White Hut Band in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Later he worked with Blanche Calloway and Charlie Gaines, and directed and took part in recording sessions by the Washboard Rhythm Kings. Around 1934 he moved to New York, where he played with Fess Williams, Claude Hopkins (c March 1937 – January 1938), and Jabbo Smith (1938). He then performed and made recordings with Hot Lips Page, with whose band his warm-toned clarinet playing may be heard to advantage. During the 1940s Smith worked with Lucky Millinder, Andy Kirk (c April 1942–1944), and Snub Mosley (1945–c1947), but he was mainly active as the leader of his own groups. As well as continuing to lead bands in the 1950s he organized his own business as an arranger and copyist and owned a record company. Around 1953 he took up tenor saxophone to play with rhythm-and-blues groups.

Constructive edits to the encyclopedia are not vandalism. I'd like an explanation please.Singingdaisies (talk) 23:27, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
If he's so notable, then create an article for him. Once that's done, then it would make sense to add him to the list at List of jazz saxophonists‎. The vandalism involved the unnecessary removal of a guideline that you alone dislike, and that you've repeatedly ignored. Red Wikilinks in List of jazz saxophonists‎ will continue to be removed, no matter who adds them.--| Uncle Milty | talk | 00:23, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Jean D'Mailly

Hello Uncle Milty, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I contested the speedy deletion of Jean D'Mailly - a page you tagged - because: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Tim Song (talk) 22:07, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

First off, I don't think "contested" is the correct word, since you simply reverted my tagging of the article rather than discussing it. Second, simple nobility is not a notable quality, and attempts to come to a consensus on WP have failed. ( WP:Notability (royalty) ) This is not the first time articles in this line of nobility have been created, deleted, then created again. This particular article makes no claim to notability other than mere nobility on the part of its subject. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 22:40, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
A7 is not about notability. If you think the subject is not notable, try WP:PROD or WP:AFD. Tim Song (talk) 07:17, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Willie Phua page

Hi,

Two things...

1. I am a relatively new contributor. I have altered and updated the page "Willie Phua" on the Singaporean cameraman.

The page was originally lifted from an article in the Singapore Straits Times.

I have researched Mr Willie Phua for my book Capturing Asia for the last ten years. The message tells me that the page is now advertising or promotion.

I am am author of four non fiction books, a journalist for 40 years, 2009 visiting scholar to the John Curtin Prime Ministerial Library, Perth, etc etc. I do quote sources from my book, but all references are provided in the required manner, including direct quotes from Mr Phua.

The completed article is much more detailed on the life of Willie Phua than the one article taken from the Straits Times.

I wrote this particular book, involving scores of interviews, over some ten years. My information is verifiable and accurate. So what more can I do?

2. I am trying to upload some photos but the restrictions on doing so seem to make it impossible. I have further photos of Mr Phua taken by myself. Willie Phua also has authorised me to use photos from his collection and place them on the internet. I am wondering how I overcome this "licensing" condition. For instance, I have no license for my own photos. I don't even know what a "license" is.

Help pls!

WurthB


(WurthB (talk) 04:52, 21 April 2010 (UTC)).

1. The problem with your last edit was that the supposed reference link you added simply went to a site where the book could be purchased. That specifically was the "advertising or promotion" I saw.
2. WP:COPY has the answers to your image licensing questions.--| Uncle Milty | talk | 21:59, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, i noticed your edit to the Francesca Isherwood article that put it into the high profile category of unreferenced BLP articles. The use of the "BLP unreferenced" tag (or equivalently "BLP unsourced") is meant for articles which really have no sources. This one had an IMDB source as an external link which provided a general reference for the article. There are new IMDB-related variations on the BLP refimprove tag: {{BLP IMDB refimprove}} and {{BLP IMDB-only refimprove}} which are better suited to an article like this now. But, mainly, the article needed "BLP refimprove" or equivalent "BLP sources", rather than "BLP unreferenced" / "BLP unsourced". Thanks! --doncram (talk) 02:59, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't realize. Thanks. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 12:06, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I G11 tagged it at exactly the same moment you tagged it as under construction. I think the user's article creation history at the very least violates WP:COI, though, if not also WP:SPAM. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 12:15, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Yep, it certainly does. Hence, the G11 tag was spot on to be honest, and a quick look at the username shows that there is a definite COI going on there. However a quick search showed a few thousand results for RiddiSiddhi Bullions, with the initial ones being newspapers. I am therefor trying to verify if i can hammer a decent stub out of the article. It will likely require a full rewrite but with some effort it may end up being somewhere near decent. If not, well, i figured i can always remove it later on. :) Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 12:23, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Oh, ok. Thanks. BTW, how do you automatically duplicate these discussions to all involved users? --| Uncle Milty | talk | 12:28, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
I wish it was fully automatic, but i fear it is manual copy-and-paste work. If i reply to someone i copy the content of the entire discussion over to the other users talk page. If another user replies at their own talk page i copy it back over to my own. It is a bit more work then just replying, but it allows for easier multi-user participation in a discussion, and it creates a talk page archive that can be easily read and understood.

Your speedy deletion nomination of Victoria Heath

Just thought I'd let you know I replaced your nomination per A1 with a nomination per A7. The article passes A1 as it clearly identifies the subject of the article, but seems to fail A7 as it does not credibly indicate the subject's notability. Please be careful when choosing a criterion for speedy deletion in future, as the success of the nomination may change as a result of the criterion for which it is nominated. Thanks. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 00:06, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

I may have confused things by doing it at the same time you were trying to.

Kate Bush: Aerial and Beyond, Sexual Healing citation

Hi. I'm unsure how to deal with your request for a citation regarding the b-side of "King of the Mountain," which is a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Sexual Healing." Generally, I have not seen the naming of songs on a CD requiring such a thing, as CD's exist in the real world (meaning they're not opinions, or quotes, etc, or something else one asserts then has to back up with a 3rd party independent source, if you follow me), and are therefore easily verified. I own the CD, so I know it exists and what's on it, and here is a link to Amazon which notes the b-side in several places, and under "Editorial Reviews" mentions the it again, with details as to length, exclusivity, etc: http://www.amazon.com/King-Mountain-Kate-Bush/dp/B000BCHJ1A

If this is enough of a citation, please feel free to put it in there, or else undo your request for one. I'm unsure of how to use it as a citation, as the others are for interviews, articles, etc.

I also found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_Healing but I can't figure out how to add it as a citation.

Thank you for your help.

Why do you keep demanding a citation regarding a simple song list for a CD? No other CD on Kate Bush's site requires a citation for this reason. It's not an opinion that the song appears on her CD. It's obvious. Please explain your reason. You seem to be simply trying to make a point, despite your above claim to occasionally be capable of mistakes. I believe you have made one here. Why have you not gone through the entire article and demanded citations for every single song title listed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TEHodson (talkcontribs) 22:38, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I have added a verifiable citation to the article, and left a reply on your talk page. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 22:42, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Why haven't you required one for every other CD song list? Why do you need to cite a 3rd party, printed song list for this one song? Why isn't a citation required for, for example, the fact that she sings back-up vocals on "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel? You are not consistent, so you are confusing. Your remark on my talk page is merely rude, not explantory; an explanation of what you required would have helped. The "standard" for Kate's page is not so much "high," as it is "randomly set"--by you. By patrolling new edits constantly, you have made yourself into a sort of police offer issuing tickets, not making substantive contributions; this seems to make you believe you are, by definition, virtuous and right, while others are mere vandals messing up Wikipedia. I actually contribed a number of things people did not know, as the CD and LP singles are rarities, and not commonly owned, or even available, in America. Other details of interest I added have been gratefully received. Everyone who has contributed to that page has high standards, not just you.

Allmusic citation

I thought you might want to know that your citation of the website Allmusic for Kate Bush's cover of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" is not a terribly reliable source. They list Kate Bush as the composer of "Another Day" (which she performed with Peter Gabriel on her 1979 BBC Christmas Special). The song was, in fact, written by Roy Harper. Big Country's song, "The Seer," on which Kate sang, is credited (on her page) to her, not to them. On their page, they call it "The Sheer." They also claim Kate's "Love and Anger" was written by Donovan, while "Moments of Pleasure" was written by Sean O'Riada. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:jifpxqw5ldfe~1~T31C

Don't the "high standards" of the Kate Bush page require a more reliable source than that? Just wondering. TEHodson 03:27, 2 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by TEHodson (talkcontribs)

I couldn't figure out an image (Newest DePelchin Building) I was trying to upload would not display correctly, so tried uploading as different file formats. I reduced the size of the png file to something manageable. Thanks for noticing and deleting the other ones. Also thanks for resizing the jpg files. Since there's no point in having duplicates, I have no preference for which file format gets deleted, as long as the one remaining works. JasonLa123 (talk) 19:36, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I could tell you were having difficulties, so I butted in. What's odd is that the images were well within the 100Meg limit. Since you uploaded them, it would be better for you to request the deletion of the ones you don't want. I'm just a mere mortal, so I don't have the ability to delete items, I can only recommend. Thanks for contributing. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 21:08, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Huizenga Page

I noticed that we've been reviewing each others' work on the Bill Huizenga page. I represent him, and we have been monitoring the page due to some incidents involving libel. I'm new to wikipedia, but please feel free to email me at jordan@huizengaforcongress.com to verify any information. Several particulars include the location of his gravel pit, which is in Jenison, not Zeeland. Secondly, Bill is a member of the Christian Reformed Church, not the Reformed Church. Please feel free to email me with anything related to this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DontLieToMePlz (talkcontribs) 17:03, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

While I appreciate your monitoring of the page and your offer to verify information via email, what the article really needs is verifiable references per WP:SOURCE. You should visit WP:BLP for more information on improving the article overall, and WP:COI because of your close relationship with the subject of the article. In the mean time, do not simply revert other people's non-vandalizing edits without verifiable reference for the information you are changing. Thank you. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 17:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguations and redirects

Hi Uncle Milty,

Please do not "fix" links to redirects that are not broken, as you've done here twice. The link to the main article is not broken, and does not go to a disambiguation page. Your edit summary indicates that you're fixing a disambiguation, but this is not one... it's just a redirect. Any work you can do to improve the article is greatly appreciated, but removing redirects is not really useful here, and will in fact only increase the size of an article which is already large and which will only grow larger in the next few weeks as more stations are added. Thanks, Firsfron of Ronchester 03:20, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I was not aware that it was the wrong thing to do. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 11:13, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
No worries. I didn't realize it myself until a few months ago. For the record, the guideline is at WP:NOTBROKEN. Thanks again for your contributions, and please feel free to improve the article in other ways. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 11:42, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Please Read - SAGB

Hi, You revoked an input I placed on the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain wiki page. I am the webmaster for the SAGB.org.uk and the SpiritualistAssociation.org.uk - that each point to the same site. The copyright you refer to is ours. Good to know you are on the case but would be pleased if the info could be replaced.

Many thanks, SAGB Sagb (talk) 21:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Because it is copyrighted, I cannot. However, you can donate the use of it to Wikipedia. Please see WP:DCM and WP:CONSENT for the method required to accomplish this. However, even once that is done the text still may not be appropriate for Wikipedia because using information published only on your website may be counter to the guidelines in WP:PRIMARY. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 21:53, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

If you are careful to cite everything you add (per WP:REFERENCE) and keep a neutral point of view (per WP:NPOV) then other editors are likely to leave it alone. I understand that you have personal knowledge, but that's what we call Original Research (WP:OR) and it's not allowed. I appreciate your desire to improve the article, and welcome you to so long as it is done within the guidelines. Thanks. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 23:26, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Help please - edit reversions

I am very new to Wiki editing , have read up a fair bit about the guidelines , but still seem to fall foul of the rules at every turn .... I recently editing the Kate Bush page with a trivial edit to add an external hyperlink to the Kate bush tribute band Never for Ever - first time I now realise because hyperlinks are not allowed in the main document body, but I do not understand why the second time as I added it in the external links section. If this is also not the place to add links to other sites , can you advise where is please ? Many thanks. Keyclicker (talk) 13:31, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

In this case your link adds nothing to the conveyance of knowledge of Kate Bush and her work, and it is easy to assume you are doing it just for the promotional value. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 13:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks - I can well understand that point of view.
However as this band today actively introduces many new people to her work , sometimes re-introducing it to old fans after a gap of many years, is it not relevant to Wiki as an example of a current public exponent of the matter related to in this topic ?
Also how does that point of view stack up with the existing, presumably Wiki authorised, links to fan forums on this page ?
Thanks for your patience. Keyclicker (talk) 13:58, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Major fan sites--while limited in the verifiability of their info--are useful links to more knowledge about the subject of the article. Your link to your tribute band's site is ultimately nothing more than a promotional link. If your band is notable enough perhaps an article could be created for them, but only if they meet the notability requirements mentioned here: WP:BAND. Because of your close relationship with the band, your best bet would be to request an article at WP:REQUEST. You can also create your own article, but you'll have to be very careful to maintain a neutral point of view (WP:NPOV) in the process. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 15:17, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for a very clear and informative explanation.
One final question - can I ask what makes you assume I have anything more than a passing connection with this band ? I refer to your use of "your band" and "close relationship" ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keyclicker (talkcontribs) 15:44, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
That's an assumption on my part, actually. However, since the only article edits the user named Keyclicker have ever made were to add that link to the Kate Bush article (first time back in September 2009), hopefully you can see why one would get that impression. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 16:07, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Your changes to Sho Kashima

Howdy Uncle Milty. On July 15, 2010 you reversed some changes to Sho Kashima that were done by Notsponsored3043 back to my original edits. Notsponsored3043 is actually Sho Kashima himself. I had been having problems with copyright trying to get his picture on the page, and sent him an email trying to explain how he could do it himself, so the picture was his own work.

Long story-short, I guess it didn't go well. He's currently coaching in ME, but will be back within a few weeks. Do you think you could be so kind as to help us out in getting his picture up when he returns?

I also have pages for Audrey Robichaud and Jordan Malone. Their pictures were taken down by a bot, as again, I don't know how to attribute.

I would greatly appreciate the help. Not only would it mean a lot to me, but it would mean a lot to an Olympian & two Hopefuls.

my edit that was reverted

I made a change to the John Skilling entry that you reverted back to the old entry. My change merely corrected the current name of the firm (which I have worked for since 1979). The name of our firm changed from Skilling Ward Magnusson Barkshire to Magnusson Klemencic Associates more than seven years ago. I felt it was important for people to know that, in case they are trying to track down the name of the company Mr Skilling used to be associated with. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whoisjgalt.wa (talkcontribs) 18:01, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Tim Kash

Thank you for you efforts to remove vandalism from Wikipedia. However, could you please be more careful checking your reversions so that when an editor removes unsourced contentious material from a biography you do not inadvertently restore it and label the removal as vandalism as you seem to have done here. CIreland (talk) 02:35, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

The overall edit was vandalism, in that it included the removal of valid references (BBC, etc.) and the removal of 'citation needed' tags without the addition of citations. That is was a new user making the same mass reversion that has occurred over and over in the same article by similarly-named new accounts was another clue. Thank you for following up and making some necessary edits. Let's hope they last. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 02:48, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

I merely reverted what appeared to be an uncited and unwarranted deletion of the lead of the article by a new user.

As I am a new user, thanks for the explanation/sarcasm of you not being the one that posted it. If you prefer to leave bad info on your articles rather than have unwarranted bad information rightfully deleted then I guess anyone interested in learning about maiden lane will unfortunately be led to believe that the Fed reserve created an offshore company with no employees and issued common stock(raise cash for what?)to US investors to facilitate a merger between a bankrupt company and another investment bank. I actually created an account just to delete that nonsense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JLAD84 (talkcontribs) 00:48, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

UntouchableFilm Deletion

Hello Uncle Milty,

I would like to find out why I can not view the history for User:UntouchableFilm. The page was deleted because of an advertising nature. I would like to help fix what was already there so that it would work on the wiki. Untouchable Film is up and coming and it would be nice if people would be able to find out some info about it here on the wiki.

Thank You!!!

Spops (talk) 14:18, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

It was primarily deleted because it appeared to be advertising masquerading as an article, and was created in user space rather than in the article space where articles are supposed to exist. If you want to rescue what was there and create an article from it, your best bet is to contact the administrator who deleted it: Shimeru. You can ask him to put a copy of the original copy of your article in your user space so that you can clean it up and bring it up to Wikipedia standards. However, I will mention that an "up and coming" organization has likely not yet achieved the notability required for inclusion on Wikipedia, and as such it may be too soon for an article here. Thanks. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 14:49, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick reply. Untouchable Productions was started by my brother, who is a film school graduate. His work has appeared in several film festivals, and is even featured in IMDB (IMDB - All My Fault). Unfortunately, he has no idea how to use a wiki correctly. So, I guess that is where I come in... I will contact Shimeru, and see if I can get a copy of what he had created in a Sandbox for me to mess with. Thank you so much for your time.Spops (talk) 21:12, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Red-footed Tortoise quote from a forum edit

Hi! I noticed that the Red-footed Tortoise article has a lengthy direct quote from posting I made here: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-6511.html . The poster made a few additions as well- a typo, and numbering my list erroneously.

I have removed the quotes from your forum posting from the article, as they violated the copyright of the forum you posted them to. I originally removed your reference because forum postings are not reliable verifiable references, so I assumed your reference was invalid. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and please feel free to re-add the information in a way that doesn't violate copyright.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Kdjgoeghs, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot NG.

  • Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
  • ClueBot NG produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
  • The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Kdjgoeghs was changed by Uncle Milty (u) (t) ANN scored at 1 on 2010-11-03T14:19:43+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 14:19, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Christians in Guinea-Bissau

Hello: I just saw you changed the wording in my addition to the Guinea-B article, on the Christan minority. For two reasons, I think you are wrong there. First, as the article says in the part on religion, Christians represent an estimated 10%, which is not really "small". Second, this minority has a social (political, cultural) importance well beyond its numbers, especially because their educational level is (on average) considerably higher than that of the other religious groups. This is why I wrote "important minority", and I still think this is the appropriate wording. -- Aflis (talk) 18:55, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

John Fell (drummer) edit reverted

The article on John Fell (drummer) cites the year of his birth incorrectly. What is the appropriate procedure for having it changed? I am his sister, and I hate to see him unduly aged. His correct birth year is 1962. Please let me know what we need to do. Thank you. Klutitude (talk) 15:51, 21 November 2010 (UTC) Klutitude Klutitude (talk) 15:51, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

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

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

A tag has been placed on User talk:Jahirzinho requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. | Uncle Milty | talk | 15:48, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

What happened to my edits on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Subtitle_Format ? You just removed my entire update to .USF format overview, how can i contribute to wikipedia if my content gets deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uffe.hammer (talkcontribs) 15:29, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Your edit was nothing more than a badly-formatted copy & paste from the entire original draft PDF of the specification. A simple link to the PDF and a summary of its contents would be much more appropriate for the article. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 15:39, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
And how do you propose to link to non-existant content, the ones that made the original specification are no longer assigned to the usf format, the company (corecodec.com) that once hosted it have removed almost all reference to it. Futhermore i had made changes to the specification that i was about to add to the article when you made a drive-by deletion while i was working on it. I thought that hosting the specification on a open forum like wikipedia would be a good idea, apparently not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uffe.hammer (talkcontribs) 17:44, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
You apparently have the content somewhere. Perhaps you could find a place to host it. Wikipedia is not a place to host content, it is an encyclopedia. The entire text of the specs does not belong here, both because it is unencyclopedic and because it is too large. Please give us a summary of it and a link to wherever you end up hosting it. Thanks. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 17:56, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
I will try and find a place to host it, then we shall see if any editor can be generous enough to allow it. Just out of curiosity: if you only link to the actual content, what happens if that content gets deleted? A lot of websites move their links about the place or simply delete pages once they are deemed to old. A good example is actually corecodec.com own specification where all the links from the spec is now dead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uffe.hammer (talkcontribs) 18:04, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

No Holds Barred

How was my edit to No Holds Barred considered vandalism? If you watch the film that scene does contain a man pooping himself. This is considered the famous dookie scene by fans who have watched and enjoyed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Turkeytrip (talkcontribs) 14:11, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

regarding my change you removed today...

hello, I just got the message about my edit you removed under the self treatment section of this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonsillolith

Please tell me why you called it vandalism? My comment was a very important point to share with people regarding self removal of tonsil stones because of the dangerous side effects that could follow. I had this happen to me me personally and I used that page for reference because I explain my results there. If you think I should put more detail on the wikipedia page, please let me know and I'll be happy too. This was my first time posting something here so I wasn't sure exactly how much information I should have included.

If you read over the page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonsillolith you'll see that there are no references to the negative side effects of a person trying the remove a tonsil stone themselves with a foreign object. I think this is very relevant to this page and needs to be shared. If you go to my reference page, you'll see the information I include that shows what happened to me personally by trying to rremove them. Please go read http://www.destroytonsilstones.com/Tonsil_Stones.htm

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you'll consider my edit more seriously now. Like I said, I'll be happy to revise, add, etc., whatever I need to make my edit more clear and understanding.

Thanks, Tim Prescott Tjpco (talk) 18:46, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps you should go read http://www.destroytonsilstones.com/Tonsil_Stones.htm --| Uncle Milty | talk | 19:00, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello again,
Yes, I've read over that page. The section under "tonsil stone removal tips" explains the side-effects that can happen if someone tries to remove tonsil stones themseleves. I hope you don't take my replies as trying to argue or be smart with you. I'm just trying to figure out the right way add my comment to that section. Thanks too for taking the time to actually respond so quickly.
Tim Tjpco (talk) 19:22, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
There is nothing informative on that page. The domain destroytonsilstones.com is not being used, and the only thing there is a placeholder full of links. The first time I clicked on it a pop-under window came up that I closed it before anything could load. Perhaps your link is bad. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 19:27, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Now I'm a little confused. I'm not sure why you are seeing a dead page there. I see a video and quite a bit of different information about tonsil stones. It's a live site...can you maybe show me how you're seeing a non working page? If you're seeing a page like you said...I? can surely see why you would have removed my reference! ;-) Thanks, Tim —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjpco (talkcontribs) 19:45, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Could you tell me what browser or platform you are trying to view destroytonsilstones.com with?

Tim —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjpco (talkcontribs) 23:16, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

page removed...

Hello again UncleMilty! I just got your reply that you changed the removal. Thanks! I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I was seeing a live site and you weren't! ha ha ha. I hate to keep bugging you but when I went back to the page to see my comment, I noticed that the entire treatment section on the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonsillolith is missing.

There's not information at all regarding the self treatment or even the surgical treatment info that was there yesterday. Did someone else edite or remove that entire section? That was some pretty valuable information.

Thanks! Tim Tjpco (talk) 15:18, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

You can see the history of the article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Tonsillolith&action=history. Your best bet is to discuss this on the talk page of the article. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 16:13, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Calmore pronunciation

Hi Uncle Milty,

Last night was the first time I have ever edited anything on Wikipedia, I edited the pronunciation of Calmore to "Kar-ma". When I looked this morning I realised that it had been changed back to "Cold-more". I then noticed the History tab and when I looked I saw that my edit had been marked as vandalism.

I was born in the Pleck and have lived in many areas of Walsall, I've even had relatives living in Caldmore, however, I have never known a local person to refer to the area as "Cold-more". Whenever we heard this pronunciation we knew it to be someone not from a local family.

I have always been told the story of how the pronunciation of Caldmore helped with the arrest of Raymond Leslie Morris, if the stories are to be believed Morris asked a potential victim the way to "Karma" indicating to the police that this was a local resident.

I have re-edited the sentence to include that it can be pronounced "Cald-more" but that this is not the norm.

BLP prods

Hi Uncle Milty, just to make you aware BLPprods are for unsourced new BLPs not poorly sourced ones. This may seem somewhat illogical when we require a reliable source to remove a valid tag, but my recent attempt to broaden them to articles sourced from Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn and Utube failed to get consensus. So I've replaced your prod of an article on a California politician with refimproveBLP and PrimarySources tags. ϢereSpielChequers 18:06, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. The article (Bob Wieckowski) didn't appear to have any references when I added that. Turns out the "reference" that is there is mislabeled as something else entirely. I should have checked further. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 19:19, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi! This edit you made was not a delete of a referenced edit as your reasoning tag claims. The edit was a deletion of a nonsensical link left after an ip whitewashed the article.

bafta edit

Hello I work for BAFTA and tried to correct some incorrect category titles on the page 'British Academy Film Awards'. I don't think this is a conflict as it's just a factual change. It's quite a pedantic detail, so I doubt anybody else would make the change, but it would be nice for it to be correct. This may apply to other content on pages about BAFTA and our ceremonies. Is there a way that we can submit factual corrections as an organisation? Thanks for your help and patience Baftaonline (talk) 16:03, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with correcting incorrect factual data, even in an article that you might have a conflict of interest with, so long as the references in that article support those corrections.

Of the two images you removed, one of them is of a postcard which was printed prior to 1923. Therefore, that image on the postcard is PD. I have commented-out the other image until its status can be determined. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 21:05, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
I've nominated the Chinese theater photo for deletion. There is no problem with deleting it while it's copyright status is determined. I've also removed it from the Doyers Street article. However, the postcard photo is, as you point out, definitely in the public domain, as postcards are, by definition, published. ScottyBerg (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
I'd hate to disappoint you, but the postcard image may also be a copyright violation. According to my understanding, any image(postcard or otherwise) publishd before 1923 w/out the proper @ U.S. copyright symbol is exempt from the the pre-1923 law. Many post cards of the day did not comply with these regulations. It is my understanding that this happens to be the case, which is why the author/owner is fuming. To make matters worse, there's no printed matter along with the image identifying it as an 1898 post card, only captions on a few websites making such claims.MagicianMerlin (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:00, 6 May 2011 (UTC).
No, it was described as an 1898 postcard in the caption to the book "Manhattan's Chinatown," a reliable source. ScottyBerg (talk) 23:09, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
...which, oddly enough, was written by the supposed owner of the images in question. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 00:35, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Kevin Hill

Hi. I reverted your edit to the article because it restored some previous vandalism. I had to go back several edits because I didn't catch it the first go round hence my double revision. Thanks. Pinkadelica 00:18, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh, thanks. Looks like we were both headed in the same direction, you just did a better job of it. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 00:25, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I came to ask what's proper protocol when an article has been proposed for deletion when later it's learned that speedy delete would be more appropriate. Can the speedy template be placed on top of the PROD? Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 13:18, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
There is a deletion discussion regarding this article currently taking place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gregoire Akcelrod. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 13:20, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Yes. I know. That's my question. If someone proposes deletion - evidently unaware that the article is subject to the much less cumbersome speedy delete process - do we still need to go through the PROD or can we just request a speedy delete instead? JohnInDC (talk) 13:23, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
In other words, does the deletion discussion make the article ineligible for speedy deletion, even where it's plainly applicable? JohnInDC (talk) 13:24, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Since there is already a deletion discussion under way, it should remain as is. If a speedy deletion is warranted, an admin will likely close the deletion discussion early and delete the article. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 13:25, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
e/c Argh, I said PROD when I meant AfD. (Sorry!) JohnInDC (talk) 13:26, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Username Uncle Milty,

I have undone edits that were clearly vandalism. Stating that a building was flown in by hovercrafts and nonesense of that sort. It seems the previous user wanted to have some fun with the page and was being silly.

Anna Nalick photo

Thank you for checking on the removal of Anna Nalick article photo by CaliforniaGirl. I had provided the photo in question, and I agree with your comment on her talk page that the only good reason for removal would be that it does not represent Anna, or that it represents her in a negative light. Let's be sure that CaliforniaGirl is indeed an official representative of Anna Nalick, and that all Wikipedia guidelines and rules are obeyed. I would also strongly appreciate it if she can provide an official photo, or if an unofficial photo can go back up.

Additionally, if the accusation is that the photo is not of Anna, then CaliforniaGirl should have directly contacted me, who had taken the photo, for any possible misrepresentation issues.

One photo does remain in the article, also my work. I do not appreciate it when a recording artist's management makes edits without clearly stating the reasons or notifying the supposed offender what the problem is - it seriously dampens my enjoyment of the artist in question as well. Again, the only valid reason for the management deleting content would be if it is false or if it wrongly defames the artist, neither of which is the case here.

Mickeay Wil Burns deletion tag

Just wondering if it would be better to delete as an unremarkable person rather than an unremarkable singer as singing doesn't appear to be the only thing he does? Just thought I would throw the suggestion in there :) --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 01:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Ultimately, I'm not certain it makes a difference. He does call himself a musician twice, so I went with that. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 01:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Just letting you know that I am corresponding with this user via email about the edits that she has made.

Yo Uncle Milty,

I'm trying to get Colin Frangicetto's page back up and going and not deleted.. I work with his band Circa Survive and his side project Psychic Babble I have many sources for charities and benefits Colin has been a part of in both his musical and art career. I also tried adding more information to his biography so that there was more substance to the stub wiki article. All of the changes I made to his page have been since taken down. I am new to editing Wikipedia pages and if you could offer me some insight as to what you would like to see added to his page so that it does not get deleted, I would greatly appreciate it. I saw some other users talking about the page already, but I'm late coming in on all this and not sure what's already been done.

Thanks for your time and assistance - Matt

The biggest problem with the article is that the subject fails to meet the requirements for inclusion at either WP:MUSIC or WP:ARTIST. Also, most of the links being added to the article are promotional in nature. If there are proper references out there that support the notability of the subject so that the article meets either one of the above listed guidelines, then their inclusion is needed. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 21:27, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

I don't know the policy for MySpace links, but MySpace is currently hosting licensed streamed copies of albums and songs. Since Wikipedia does external link to licensed copies of literature, I believe it should also external link to albums and songs where available since that is the original source material for the articles that contain those links.

J.wong.wiki (talk) 17:17, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

That link is a promotional link that does not add any context or support to the article. Promotional links of any type an not allowed on Wikipedia. Also, I've never seen a link to a "licensed copy of literature" here. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 17:36, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
Promotional? Yes, it does provide links that would allow a visitor to purchase the source material in question, but it also provides a free copy that can be listened to using a stream. A link to an article on the New York Times might also allow the visitor to purchase a subscription. Is that promotional?
Articles on pieces of literature do contain links to copies where the copyright has expired. The Wikipedia policy is that you shouldn't link to unlicensed copies. In my case, the copies are licensed. J.wong.wiki (talk) 17:55, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

A Great Day In Harlem article

Milty the reason I chose to edit this article is because the exact address of the Harlem Portrait is 17 east 126 street. I know this to be a fact because I am the current owner of this Brownstone and many visitors from all over the world have come to take pictures in front of it. Sometimes people arrive and they take photos in front of the wrong house and it upsets my neighbors...many well known people have been photographed in front of this house since 1958, including Gordon Parks and various hip hop stars, also Bill Clinton was photographed here (Smithsonian Magazine, November 2002). In 2008 Marian McPartland returned with a group of female jazz musicians to be photographed for a documentary. I can site from Charles Graham, writer of the book, "A Great Jazz Day",page 10, that the event did take place at a Harlem Brownstone located at 17 east 126 street, between Fifth and Madison Avenues,NYC. There can be no more verification than the actual Photograph, if you see it poster size, the house number can be seen above the heads of the participants on the door top windows number 17. Thanks for you time.Ppo2085 (talk) 02:08, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

I don't understand why you removed my edit in ref to "vinyl siding.?" This site is not promotional, nor is it commercial. Did you even look at the site? Furthermore, there's also dead links on that page too that I wanted to remove.

I understand the need to keep spammers away and keep wikipedia looking bright, I just don't see the real cause of the ref removal..

If the site is truly above board, then why has so much effort been expended to keep the owners and/or financial backers of the site secret? Where there is a copyright on the site it fails to list the copyright holders, and the domain registration details are specifically hidden by the registrar. I also find absolutely no contact info or methods on the site. I'm sorry, but unless someone is willing to publicly take responsibility for what is written in the site, then it looks like a scam and shouldn't be linked on Wikipedia. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 04:22, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

RE: Dear Walsworth Franklin Bevins & McCall,

I am very confused by all this. I created an account under my name (Jeffsabini) and then created a page which I could not locate on wikipedia after signing out. So, I created another account under my company's name...and the same thing happened. I know the rules about promotion/conflict of interest, but there are so many companies, particularly law firms, that do so. I tried to keep it very generic. I don't know how to have the page (under either account name) appear in the search results. Isn't it supposed to? I don't need people to search for me on wikipedia, just the firm. How can they do so if the account is under my name - or doesn't that matter?

Thanks 65.44.217.2 (talk) 22:55, 22 May 2012 (UTC)js

User pages do not show up in normal (article) searches. Only articles show up in normal searches. You could create an article for the law firm, but only if the firm meets Wikipedia notability guidelines. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 23:06, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

recents edit to TxtLoan page

Hi Milty,

I am the head of online marketing at TxtLoan and some of the changes I made were removed by you. My only goal is to clean up the page as some content was added by some competitors who are trying to confuse people and simply get links to their website.

I'll explain to you the changes I made: - ref 1 is not a link to Telegraph Online but to a competitor's website trying to fool people around. It should be removed - 'failure to repay on time sends the amount due to £200 by day 45 prior it will be passed to debt collection.[2]' This is no longer correct as our terms were changed - the link on ' txtloan ' is not redirecting to our official site but to a spammer's page, please remove it. Our official page is https://txtloan.co.uk/

many thanks Gfevriertxtloan (talk) 13:23, 22 November 2012 (UTC) regards Guillaume
