Barnstar!

Purdy barnstar hidden in the modest display case. For not biting the noobs and being extremely nice to someone that kept recreating a page, I award you this star.mboverload@ 22:09, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey thanks. I always make an effort when the editor makes one too — it's obvious that he tried hard and looked at other articles in the hope of having his stick; I was a bit saddened by the fact that the article was so far out of the range of WP:BAND that it could not possibly be kept. — Coren ^(talk) 22:14, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

The Original Barnstar

For creating User:CorenSearchBot, which is a massive help to new article patrollers. I know I already gave you a star for niceness but I have been intending to give this one to you for weeks. This is the last one. I promise for now mboverload@ 22:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Restoration request

Hi Coren,

My comment refers to Revision history of Talk:Depression and natural therapies. Can you please restore the Depression and natural therapies article with its talk pages and all the edit histories? For right now I believe it's not possible to see exactly what ended up on the cutting room floor. I want to bring this to the WP:mediation cabal's attention, but it's quite difficult in the articles current state. Thanks. --Firefly322 (talk) 02:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I did an history merge, not a deletion. You will find every revision of Depression and natural therapies in the history of Treatment for depression (which is the whole point of the merge), so you can see everything that used to be in the article there. — Coren ^(talk) 12:29, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

I own BarterZap.com and I included an article that I had written and it was deleted. My article was published on multiple web sites and press releases.

Review Before Republishing

The page I had created for BetterTrades, which you deleted, has been userfied for me at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Westcoastbiker/Bettertrades. I discovered more sources, added content, and attempted to edit what content was already there. I feel confident that notability has been established, the material is neutral, and the information is reliable. If you disagree, I will gladly hear your reasoning and work with you to alleviate the problems.

If the page seems ready for publication, I would greatly appreciate your blessing, and I'd like to know the appropriate way to refer to that approval (I'm assuming that you would leave comment on the talk page).

I would actually like to publish this page to the case-sensitive name "BetterTrades" by the way, as opposed to "Bettertrades." This will be a continuity issue for the discussion, but any help with keeping the flow clear would be exceelent. Thanks again for keeping the dialogue open.

Edited the text and now it shouldn't cause any problems.

Nahum Shahaf ban

Hi, I've replied on my talk page. As I say I'm not going to argue over any ban as it's kind of like demanding to be returned to a lunatic asylum, but your reasoning is factually incorrect, for example the reference to "numerous warnings". I am also somewhat confused as to why you have not even contacted or warned any of the editors who were involved in (succesfully) edit warring material out of the article. That information was being put there in an attempt to create balanced coverage about an individual who holds a genuinely controversial and minority viewpoint (and indeed whose notability mostly derives from the fact that he has publicised those views, not on any other supposed achievements). --Nickhh (talk) 16:46, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I'd still be grateful for clarity as to what these "numerous warnings" were - as I recall I have no block record, no history of being repeatedly warned about anything at all, although like many others, yes, have had the ArbCom I-P notice posted on my talk page (a total of twice I believe, and only on one occasion in response to any particular problem that might relate to me personally). I am also still waiting for you to post warnings about edit warring on the page at issue to other users' talk pages. Although it is the admin's privilege after all to wield their power in an arbitrary fashion and on the basis of things they have simply made up, following a simple and cursory glance at the situation in front of them. --Nickhh (talk) 17:37, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

It's not a case of arbitrary so much as it's a case of "not worth the trouble", insofar as delving even deeper in the I-P mess lies far outside my interests. You'll note that you still do not have a block record either, which is why a simple topic ban was quite sufficient and nothing further.

An unrelated matter might be misbehavior by others. If you feel someone's behavior is ergregiously bad, feel free to point it out to me with supporting diffs and I'll look into it to see if sanctions are also warranted— I do not trawl articles looking for people to sanction, I simply act when I notice something incidentally or when someone brings specific behavior to my attention. — Coren ^(talk) 17:53, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

If you are not willing to delve even slightly deeper into what you correctly describe as the "I-P mess", then - to be honest - you are not qualified to hand out bans on the basis of edits in that area. And if you "incidentally" noticed my edits, and were acting as an impartial arbiter, you must surely have already noticed the edits of others around them - I should not have to point those out to you. By contrast, if someone brought the issue to your attention off-Wiki (as it is fairly obvious that they did) then you should at least have had the intellectual and moral decency to have looked at the other side of the issue before flying in. Oh, and still waiting for clarification of the "numerous warnings". Let's see those "supporting diffs" etc. --Nickhh (talk) 18:19, 4 September 2008 (UTC) [insert sig]

Nickhh, issuing attacks at Coren is not helping your case. For the record, I am familiar with the I-P mess, and I support the ban. I was a bit surprised at the length (60 days), as I probably would have issued something a bit shorter. But 60 days isn't completely out of line either, especially considering your aggressive response, and that from even a quick look at your contribs, it was clear that you had become too focused on that one article. You're not a SPA, but over the last month, you've definitely been acting like one: Nickhh (talk · contribs). If you want the ban shortened or lifted, the best way to do it is to acknowledge the concerns that led to the ban in the first place, promise to do better in the future, and in the meantime, show that you can work in a cooperative manner with other editors, on multiple articles, not just the one that's in the middle of a controversy. --Elonka 00:47, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

FWIW, 60 days is a figure I mostly pulled out of my ass by a quick eyeball of comparable sanctions. I would not be opposed to a reduction to 30 given that it will likely take your focus away from the article and let you simmer down on the topic just as well. Elonka, you are more familiar with the general area, and I'll leave that to your judgement. — Coren ^(talk) 01:23, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I think it's best to leave the 60-day ban in place for now, and then re-examine things in a week or so. As an example of a way to proceed, we have another editor in the topic area, Tundrabuggy (talk · contribs), who was placed under a lengthy 90-day ban by User:MZMcBride, and was then mentored by a couple admins. Tundrabuggy responded well and did some excellent work on other articles, so after consultation, we eventually modified the ban and then lifted it entirely, with a caveat that Tundrabuggy is still strongly encouraged to find at least a 50-50 balance between edits at the first article, Muhammad al-Durrah, and other work (see Talk:Muhammad al-Durrah#Admin log). If Nickhh could do the same (show constructive work at other articles), I think it would be reasonable to modify and/or lift his ban as well. --Elonka 05:59, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I have made clear I am not going to make the effort to contest the ban, or go back to that article, so this is all kind of academic. I will leave that article and other related ones to those people here who seem to have some kind of political agenda to bolster their favoured version of the al-Durrah event. What I have an issue with (and was quite forthright in saying so) is the principle here of administrators wielding their big sticks to "punish" (only) one side in a dispute, on the basis of some vague and ill-defined charge, with no detailed evidence being presented to back it up. I have still not seen any supporting diffs which reveal the "numerous warnings" I supposedly received, nor any evidence that other users who were edit-warring over the material in question from the other side have even had a friendly note on their talk page, let alone a page ban. Equally I am now subject to the bizarre accusation that I am a virtual SPA, as well as comments that I need to "acknowledge concerns" and "promise to do better", as if I were an errant schoolchild facing a particularly prissy schoolteacher. Elonka, if you had read the comments on my talk page, linked above, you would have noticed that in fact I immediately acknowledged edit-warring (and made clear I had backed away from it) and also accepted that I have occasionally stepped out of line in edit summaries. I am also astonished that you still seem to see yourself as some sort of impartial referee in this area of controversy, given the RfC and recall debates and given that you have quite clearly taken sides on these pages, unwittingly or otherwise, in favour of those pushing the agenda referred to above, and have also involved yourself in editing content. You even participated in the very edit war in question. --Nickhh (talk) 14:34, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Mathmo AfD

Hi there. Just trying to understand the process, forgive me if I'm incorrect! You said that none of the arguments are particularly strong either way in your summary. One of the comments that I put down in the original discussion included the fact that (unlike most of the other people commenting!) I'm actually a former Cambridge Mathematician, and so reasonably well qualified to bring information 'to the party' about the fact that the article is quite correct, and that the term is just a bit of Cambridge slang. If that's not a strong argument, how should I go about making it a strong argument? Mrh30 (talk) 12:22, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, for one, you are a primary source.  :-) But more to the point, DRV is not the proper place to debate the article anew, but simply to determine whether the closure was within policy, which it was (even if other calls might have validly been made). Strictly speaking, a deletion because an article is a dictionary definition is only the best thing to do when the article could not be anything more, not when it simply currently isn't. — Coren ^(talk) 12:32, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

http://www.quns.cam.ac.uk/Queens/Misc/jargon/CUjargon-M.html - now I'm not the primary source (Google for 'Cambridge University Slang', first link)! :-) I hear what you're saying. One further question/point then. If the process is as you say for DictDef, it basically means that we should never delete an article that is a dictionary definition, since they all could become a more full article at some point in the future. Doesn't that rather contradict the policy of WP not being a dictionary? How does one go about proving that something is never going to be more than a dictionary definition? Mrh30 (talk) 12:43, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'd say that if a few people have tried to bring meat to a definition article and failed after some time then chances are low enough that it could be expanded into an article that deletion is reasonable. There is also the "easy" way: consensus says that it can't be expanded. — Coren ^(talk) 17:40, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Copyright violation from Vampilore.co.uk

I have just started some new pages on Wikipedia about models who have been featured in the Harris Publication Vampirella. The pages I started are for Cathy Christian, Maria DiAngelis and Sascha Knopf. The CorenSearchBot has quite correctly noted that a substantial section of the content I (rather quickly) added to the above pages is an almost word perfect copy of content from the www.vampilore.co.uk web site. May I state here that I am the owner of the Vampilore.co.uk domain, the Vampilore site is my own creation and that I have no objection to content from the Vampilore site about Vampirella and related persons being used on Wikipedia (and it's related sites). The content I used relates directly to their roles as published models within the Vampirella comic books and trading cards. I sincerely hope that someone else will add further content to their Wkikpedia pages relating to their careers/lives outside of the narrow confines of my area of expertise/knowledge.

Reporting, Alastair Haines Arbcom restrictions

Coren -- just so I can understand this -- how do the restrictions work? Ilkali has already made two reverts on one page today [2]&[3], and another revert on another page. [4] When another user tried to communicate with him about the reverts, he replied in this way [5].Tim (talk) 18:19, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm curious as well. Alastair has already violated the terms of the ArbCom decision by accusing you, and by extension the entire panel of arbitrators of a "slanderous lie" ([6]), which is a violation of WP:CIVIL and comes close to a violation of WP:NLT, in exactly the way that he was instructed not to in the ArbCom. And yet there don't seem to be any repercussions at all. -LisaLiel (talk) 19:04, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Reply to: Notability of Lira Luis

I can give you numerous references to the notability of architect Lira Luis. I created this article as a fan of architecture. I used this username as the name of the article because it is the most logical and easiest name to remember. If you do a search on "Lira Luis" from the Yahoo! search engine, you will see a lot of articles written about Ms Luis. I think the original article I wrote about her was unfairly reported and deleted. It appears as a blatant sabotage against a person by a group who appears to be very jealous of the success of Ms Luis. The persons in question are: Blakegripling ph, who conspired to taint the reputation of Ms Luis. Please read these articles that will justify the notability of the achievements of Ms Luis:

Canton of Fécamp

I too am writing in regards to an automatic bot message I received. I had just completed my translation from fr:Canton de Fécamp, and your message said it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.speedylook.com/Canton_of_F%C3%A9camp.html.
This was similar to my article, but I take each French wiki version of cantons, communes etc ((About 2000 edits so far - how come it's not happened before) and turn it into English.
I wonder if Speedylook has a bot to do the same? Which came first ? Speedylook's page or Fr:wiki's page ?

matt lee(musician)

Hi ,I just wanted to know why this is a proposed delete. I was forwarded an actual credits sheet from a divine horsemen record w/ Mr. Lee's songwriting credits on a divine horsemen record(a band already in wiki) and he has a song in a major movie. These are verifiable and he also has a major record release through interscope records on interscope's subsidy HepCat records. The same label that has led zepplin, britney spears, the stray cats and many more coming out in 2mos. There will be a tour as well, along with radio play. One the songs on the record is a re-release of Mr. Lee's song Shot Down in a movie called Bikini Island. It's at IMDB.He is notable and has a track record. He co-wrote the devil's river album and has that listed on his credit sheet from the lp liner notes.Not all is on-line, but the hard copy of the lyric sheet should suffice. If we can do anything to help you reverse this decision please let us know. Straight from the go, this one guy nard has been trigger happy over deleting this site. Is he a frustrated person or what? Instead of helping with the critique here, he hammered away with an apparent vendetta. He never offered,kindly to help, he just kept tearing away at the article like a prison guard, only trying as hard as possible to delete this article which i've worked hard on to make an acceptable piece of journalism. The Divine Horsemen have records for sale worldwide and the original pressings of these records are highly priced and prized collector's items online and in store. You can locate the sale sites for these on google at records collector sites. Just type in divine horsemen original pressings for sale in google and you'll see that. The Divine Horsemen have multiple record deals with capitol/enigma, sst, new rose records,atavistic, and have a web site at rollingstone.com under a combined site for the flesheaters/divine horsemen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.231.39.97 (talk) 18:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Legends In Concert

Wait

Before deleting the Legends In Concert article please view Carolina Opry in Wikipedia. The article about Carolina Opry is very similar to the article I have submitted about Legends In Concert. Legends In Concert can also be cross-referenced in Wikipedia to establish credibility and notability at Imperial Palace Hotel and Casinoarticle under attractions.

Thank you.

Jaiesi (talk) 22:34, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

No, actually, Wikipedia is not a reliable source sufficient to establish notability. The article isn't going to be deleted for several days while discussion takes place (and improvement to the article is possible; in particular finding good sources to verify the article information would be a requirement). — Coren ^(talk) 22:37, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I have added several references to the press comments.

Jaiesi (talk) 02:33, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

• COMMENT RE:"Well, in the first place the fact that an article exists, flaws and all, does not give a free pass to other articles. They all must stand on their own merit. A second detail is that the Governor's price is considerably more notable than one given yearly to dozens of entities by a local newspaper"
  

What is the "Governor's Price?". I have reviewed The Carolina Opry entry and found nothing relating to a "price", so I don't quite understand your response. Additionally, in the Legends In Concert article I have referenced almost all of the Legends In Concert press comments with verifiable sources directly from the web to establish notoriety and credibility. Many of the press comments I have entered are from credible authors from the likes of The Seattle Times, The Boston Globe, etc. As I review The Carolina Opry, I do not find any directly verifiable references for their press comments or awards.
Thank you for your time and prompt responses as I work to improve the article. Jaiesi (talk) 13:54, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

River Parishes Community College

The reason this page should not be deleted is because I work for River Parishes Community College and was asked to place our presence on Wikipedia. We are a small community college and we are trying to have our presence expand on the Internet as many other community colleges in the state have done. Many of our students do Internet research on potential schools before actually contacting us, this was another way to have more information on the Internet that we know is accurate and that we can control. I was given permission by administrators at River Parishes Community College to use passages from our general catalog when creating this site.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lupertazzi crime family

Your close of this seems to be based upon your own opinion of the article rather than whether a consensus to delete was established. This seems improper - please reconsider. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:47, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

As it stood, the article could not meet the notability requirements and the concerns were not addressed despite two relistings (over two weeks). You might want to work up a draft in your userspace, source it properly, and bring the result to deletion review when you're done; the article was deleted because it was not up to par, not because no article could possibly be written that could be. — Coren ^(talk) 12:30, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

My understanding of the process, per WP:DGFA, is that the closing admin should evaluate whether there is a consensus to delete and, in cases of doubt, should not do so. So, it's not a matter of the article reaching a given standard but a case of the discussion reaching a sufficient consensus that it should be deleted. It does not seem that we achieved such a consensus due to lack of participation and agreement. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:55, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Your understanding is only partially correct. Policy trumps consensus; and while the AfD usually either provides for a quick agreement or the opportunity to address the concerns with the article, the ultimate deciding factor is whether the article is appropriate for the encyclopedia or not. The closing admin's job is to evaluate policy-based arguments, not count raised hands. So yes, it is the matter of the article reaching a given standard and the purpose of the discussion is to determine whether it does and not a vote. — Coren ^(talk) 14:21, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A.C. Ransom

I'm writing to ask that you please reconsider--at least for the time being--the closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A.C. Ransom. My reason is a simple one: There are a few editors that have been spamming deletions against college football coaches so rapidly that we have not had time to accurately respond. Please review the project listing articles for deletion. We're willing to go with the final consensus, we're just asking for more time to adequately respond.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:16, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I've closed according to the specific AfD, not in the context of a larger discussion. It may well turn out that the consensus goes towards changing the notability guidelines to let those coach articles stand, but whether it does or how long it will take is anyone's guess. I'd be more than happy to undelete en masse if warranted later after discussion but, as it now stands, there is clear agreement that the article doesn't meet the current policy. — Coren ^(talk) 14:24, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Additionally, it has been proposed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alured Ransom to merge the contents of the two articles, and that AfD is still open. Our editors are busy with the current season of college football and have not had the time to address the historical AfDs that have recently popped up... as you say... en masse. Thank you just the same.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:22, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Would you then please move the deleted page to User:Paulmcdonald/A.C. Ransom so that efforts to improve the article can be resumed?--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

It's there now; I've disabled the categorizing since it's in userspace. — Coren ^(talk) 03:34, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Re Marie Breen Smyth page

Hi guys, you sent me a message saying that there is great similarity between the Wiki page on Marie Breen-Smyth and that on the Aberystwyth University website. That is because Breen-Smyth has written a lot, and the titles of her books and articles are listed on the Aberystwyth site and are also listed on the Wiki page. I can't do much about the similarity for that reason, and in any case, the titles are all in the public domain. I hope this explains matters to your satisfaction and you can remove the tag on the page. Many thanks martinpking 21st sept 2008 Martinpking (talk) 21:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: SikhiWiki

Hi Coren, I notice that you have been petioned by HariSingh to reprogramme your bot not to pick up stuff posted by Sikhiwiki.

The site have been the the debate of several controversy's and the site editor HariSingh involved in edit wars here. Stick to our NPOV policy and treat Sikhiwiki like any other site. Thanks --Sikh-history (talk) 09:10, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

The only thing CSBot checks is whether a new page is an obvious copy of a side with an incompatible copyright license. It makes no assessment as to the suitability of the text, and nor should it. In this particular case, the license is compatible and copyright (properly attributed) contents is permissible— that is where the bot's involvement ends. — Coren ^(talk) 22:22, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

They generally aren't; but CSBot is much too dumb to analyze contents beyond "does it look the same?" and couldn't make that call.

Do you think it'd be a problem...

I know you're not the one who unblocked last, but you are the one who made the suggestion for conditions surrounding an unblock, so I'm asking you:

Do you think it'd be a problem if I posted on WT:ASSESS with a question regarding the assessment process? I could ask someone to post it there for me, but then if I have further questions that the reply raises, it can get rather cumbersome. I realize that this is rather soon after the block was lifted and I agreed to the conditions, but it's a question that arises from something I've been planning on doing with Lyles Station, Indiana for a couple of weeks now. That particular page isn't exactly one of the more contentious project-space areas anyway, I figure. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 19:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

It's not; but frankly I think you'd be asking for trouble. Even if your actual post is the least controversial possible, there will be hordes with the pitchforks and the torches waiting for you. How about I post your initial question but make it explicit that follow up should be directed at your user talk?

I know the prohibition away from project space is an inconvenience, but I really think it's best you stick closely to it for the time being. — Coren ^(talk) 22:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Just my opinion, but I see no reason why Kurt should be prohibited from editing a project page when it's purely in regards to an article (the same way Kurt would be able to participate in an afd of an article he's involved with). Seraphim♥Whipp 22:47, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps, but you have to remember that this is, ultimately, a compromise meant to quiet down a fairly acrimonious dispute. Adding exceptions post facto or tweaking around it so early will be perceived as a sign of bad faith regardless of the motives behind it. — Coren ^(talk) 22:53, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I guess. It does seem to stand in the way of allowing Kurt to build an encyclopedia though, since he's unblocked, accepted your terms and asked politely about a quiet corner of the wiki. I suppose you're right though. Seraphim♥Whipp 23:51, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

That would work...here it is:

What is the process for requesting an article be re-evaluated after significant changes have been made? I was thinking of just removing the assessment grade from the talk page template so that it'd show up in the relevant "unassessed" category, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't a better way first.

An editor has asked for another deletion review of Matt Lee (musician). Since you closed the 13 September 2008 AfD#2 discussion, you might want to participate in the deletion review. -- Suntag ☼ 21:15, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Carla Hilderbrand

My article on Carla Hilderbrand appears to be deleted. I believe there were two potential problems: 1. use of information from Carla's site, and 2. impartiality. I wish say: the information I used from her site are facts about her performances, not a copy of the text on her site.

I do not know how to address the issue of impartiality----of course, I am not impartial, if I didn't care about her career, I would not even write the piece. I do know her, but so do many people in the Pacific Northwest. I have included quotes from reviews, which show her professional status. Please let me know if there are other questions you may have. I would like the article to be posted, and I am glad to live within the Wiki Rules....I am not sure where I went wrong, or how to fix it.

Best regards, Charles Berry, Seattle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Berrycomposer (talk • contribs) 23:05, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Center for Court Innovation

I moved the content of "Center for court innovation" to "Center for Court Innovation" because the article should have initial capitals. Center for Court Innovation is a proper name. Center520 (talk) 21:16, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
