Regarding removal of portions which violates BLP
editThe sources only say that Rajmohan Pillai was convicted by a Special CBI Court. According to the law in India, he was eligible to appeal to a higher level of judiciary and Mr. Pillai had done it already. This information was not available in the wesites shown as references 3 including former bank official get jail but was present on the regional newspapers Malayala Manorama and Mathrubhoomi dated 12 December 2008. So at this point of time, we cannot conclude him as convicted. Doing so will be a violation of Biographies of living persons and also will be a personal harassment to Mr. Pillai. --Z16bsr2 (talk) 15:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- This has been answered at BLP Noticeboard.
- If you have access to additional WP:Reliable sources, it would be relevant to state whether Mr Pillai is currently detained or at liberty pending his appeal. - Fayenatic (talk) 20:27, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
When redirecting or merging articles, it is nice if you make sure that the infomation is merged aswell. Chesdovi (talk) 21:13, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note. I did check the most notable elements of the content, and they had been merged. I noticed some that was not merged, but considered it to be less notable. If I had not redirected it then it was due for deletion yesterday; whereas now any editor can check the edit history and retrieve any information they think should be added to the new article. Keeping the old page as a redirect also retains the history of which editors started the coverage of the subject in Wikipedia, which I understand is good practice under the GFDL. I trust that on balance my action was positive. - Fayenatic (talk) 08:46, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

editWindows Media Loss Less
editHi Fayenatic. You think a redirect is a better on the Windows Media Player LossLess page? I was thinking a delete proposal such that the information could be reviewed, merged into the page I proposed, and then maybe that page could be deleted. The one incoming link could also be updated. I feel like simply making a redirect instantly purges the information on that page without any review. Any thoughts? Shields020 (talk) 19:51, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
- I don't feel strongly about it, but: (i) redirects are cheap, (ii) if a link title is created once, even if you change that one then it might be deleted again, and (iii) I thought it was a useful set of words to have as a direct result if used in the search box. On the other hand, the CamelCase "LossLess" is a bit odd. I'll revert, and create a redirect without camelcase. - Fayenatic (talk) 21:30, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Year of birth missing instead of Date of birth missing
editHi. Concerning this edit I would like to inform you that for for article pages we use Category:Year of birth missing (living people) instead of Category:Date of birth missing (living people). Please read instructions in both categories and WP:BLP for more information. Thanks, Magioladitis (talk) 16:29, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks -- I will remember that in future. I also did not know that Category:Living people was not a head category of that one. - Fayenatic (talk) 18:19, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
help me edit my page?
editHi,
my brother Fred R. Shapiro, editor of the Yale Book of Quotations, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_R._Shapiro suggested that i contact you and ask for your help.

Last week, i created a page about myself.

Westminster School
editIn your last edit to Westminster School, you moved part of the references higher up the article. I have replaced it back at the bottom as it disrupted the look and feel of the article, but you have a particular reason for its placing, I have no problem with its replacement. Thanks Tmwerty (talk) 21:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oops, bother and sorry! I inserted the Reflist tag so that I could preview the expanded references and check that they displayed properly. I meant to delete it before I saved the page, of course. Thanks for fixing it.
- What about this edit? It should either be cited or reverted. - Fayenatic (talk) 21:34, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, I missed that - a search on the internet brings up £24000 and a reference here BBC News, but others bring up numbers such as £31000, and the schools boarding fee is what is mentioned here, which only under a third of the pupils in the school pays, so perhaps it should be removed. What do you think? Tmwerty (talk) 21:45, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think the fee level is suitable information to include in the article. For example, Eton College has a section on "Charitable status and fees" and states their annual fee. However, this does not belong in the lead section. Some comparison to other schools' fees may be relevant to the article, but probably not the comparison to average salary. - Fayenatic (talk) 21:56, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
revision 268602372
editTo answer your question, the "parts" referred to from Trek episdode "Return to Tomorrow" were not props. The script for "Spock's Brain" i.d.'ed the controls McCoy used as scavenged from the incomplete androids. Furthermore, the reference book Star Trek Compendium explains about the unnamed actor, including an edited blooper reel after his scene with Diana Muldaur and Leonard Nimoy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Energicko (talk • contribs) 22:52, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. Please go ahead and re-write it more clearly, stating your sources and why it is notable. I started to do so but then realised that I still don't understand the specifics.
- While you're doing it, I suggest changing the heading from "Notes" to "Continuity with later episodes"; that seems to me to add significance. Best wishes, Fayenatic (talk) 23:16, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Removing 'philanthropist' in Faye Wong article
editThank you! It was getting so ludicrous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noveltykid (talk • contribs) 18:35, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks
editMoin Fayenatic london,
Thanks, but with an article that small, 3 pictures is too many. 1 is plenty. I've left the 3 up now, could you pick one and link to the others? Thanks. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 00:35, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- The pictures are complementary, and I see no harm in keeping them all. Does a Gallery layout look better? Somehow it makes the text look even shorter. - Fayenatic (talk) 08:50, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- 3 pictures would be fine, if there was enough text so the pictures would not dominate. Galleries are discouraged. Again, this is a matter of taste. Perhaps beefing up the article text is the best solution, provided it can be done without puffery. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 14:44, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- OK, I selected the picture which gives the falls some context/scale, and also illustrates the park since that is covered in the text. I couldn't find much in reliable sources to expand the article, but added a little from the town and state's official websites. - Fayenatic (talk) 18:00, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- I like your changes. The infobox is good too. I found an announcement about a survey that may require this article to be updated when the survey is complete. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 18:28, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article about Igor Panarin
editThanks for your editing - it's always much better if a native speaker revises the text! :) Лъчезар (talk) 14:26, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- My pleasure! - Fayenatic (talk) 14:36, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
I had forgotten one small matter. You changed the original Panarin's text on Gorbachev "but when it came to work, it was a different matter" to "but he could not do anything to make his vision work". The original text may be a quick Russian to English translation but even imperfect, it more exactly reflects what Panarin means. Do you mind if I (of you if you want) change this text back to what it was? Of course, if you can come with a better sounding version that doesn't change the meaning, that would be even better... Лъчезар (talk) 09:16, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- If that better reflects the original, then you were right to revert that part of my edit. The trouble is that it is not at all clear (in English, at least) what that means. Did Panarin mean that Gorbachev talked a lot but did no work? If it's not clear, then it can't be notable, so I'd rather delete the sentence completely. - Fayenatic (talk) 18:32, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, it better reflects the original, and I understand that the English translation of his words is rather bad. He meant that Gorbachev did the opposite of what he talked. If you read his article Gorbachev - the Antihero of Russia (you can use translate.google.co.uk to get a rough but readable machine translation), you'll better understand Panarin's opinion on Gorbachev. So if you can reword the bad English sentence while keeping the original meaning, great. Лъчезар (talk) 19:20, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- This is not easy... Panarin writes near the end, "it is not clear whether this is the result of managerial incompetence or deliberate malicious intent." We should add that article as a ref. How about "but he failed to manage the changes, and only presided over the Union's economic disaster and national collapse". - Fayenatic (talk) 19:43, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree with both adding that article as a reference and changing the text according to your proposal. Can you please do it? (The idea was yours :) Лъчезар (talk) 05:26, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Which sequence of tenses do you use as a native English speaker? Now that I read about this (I didn't even know how this thing is called in English!) it turns out that I've used the "natural" sequence of tenses in my text, especially the "Interviews" subsection. Is this OK, or would the "classic" (as I've been taught to it!) "attracted" sequence of tenses be better? Needless to say I prefer the current "natural" one but if you firmly think that the "attracted" one is better, I could rewrite the text... Лъчезар (talk) 17:33, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Consequent link?
editHi, I'm puzzled by this edit summary: "consequent link have to be avoided, if possible". Please would you explain here? - Fayenatic (talk) 21:09, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
I meant "one after the other" :S Manual of Style reads: "If possible, avoid placing two links next to each other in the text so they look like a single link, as in [[film]] [[actress]] (film actress). Consider rephrasing the sentence, omitting one of the links, or using a single more specific link instead." -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:30, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Blackwall Peninsula
editHi Fayenatic. It's certainly true that many references to Blackwall Peninsula turn up, so I suppose from that viewpoint there ought to be a redirect. Are they valid references though? Loads of these actually mirror old copies of Wikipedia, so must be ignored. Of more credibility is an LDDC article ( http://www.lddc-history.org.uk/planning/index.html ) which is actually talking about an entirely different peninsula - in Blackwall - the one surrounded by the Lea. Many of the rest are clearly not by experts of any description. You have edited the article to say 'for much of the 20th Century it appeared on maps as Blackwall peninsula' with a reference from a newspaper entertainment section that actually says "..in pre-Dome maps, always called the Blackwall Peninsula (no mention of Greenwich)." It depends how far back you go - for example the OS 1:2,500 scale maps of 1867, 1894 and 1914 call it "Greenwich Marshes". It was certainly generally known as East Greenwich (that's the alternative name for Blackwall Point Power Station for example). Can you point me to any map which shows the name Blackwall peninsula? If so I'll shut up. Pterre (talk) 00:49, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Pterre, thanks for the note. I believe the Independent story is sufficient for WP:V. The same writer, Paul Barker, included a similar statement in a New Statesman article in 1997. Then there's Hansard: Simon Hughes in 1993 [2] ("British Gas... Port Greenwich development proposals on its land at Blackwall peninsula") and John Austin-Walker in 1994 [3] ("Blackwall peninsula—derelict land that once housed the now-defunct metropolitan gas works"). Good enough? - Fayenatic (talk) 08:53, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- The Hansard quotes would be better, but even MPs make mistakes - it was of course the South Metropolitan Gas Works, also known as East Greenwich gas works. I've combed carefully through Mary Mills' "Greenwich Marsh - The 300 years before the Dome" looking for any reference to Blackwall peninsula. Names include Greenwich Level, Greenwich Marsh, Greenwich Peninsula, Blackwall Point or Lea Ness (the northern tip), Bendish Marsh, Bugsbys Hole, East Greenwich, New East Greenwich. Late in the century we get North Greenwich tube station (not to be confused with North Greenwich across the river). So far as I can see the Web references to the Greenwich peninsula as Blackwall peninsula date from circa 1993 or later, do not include any official maps, and may have originated with confusion with the actual Blackwall peninsula. Since the confusion seems to exist (or did for a while?) we probably need a link, though unless you can show me otherwise your quote about maps on the Greenwich Peninsula article is simply incorrect. But how do we disambiguate from the 'correct' use of the name which is here? Pterre (talk) 09:40, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Do you have any other citations for the peninsula in the Lea being called that? I haven't come across any other instances. It has been known as East Poplar and Orchard Place.[4] Recent planning applications in Tower Hamlets have used Orchard Place and "Leamouth Peninsula" for both parts of the "whale's tail",[5] but "blackwall peninsula" is not found on that Council's website.
- Even the LDDC made mistakes. (Oh yes.) Maybe they invented the name for that article. The only other case I can find where the LDDC used "Blackwall Peninsula" clearly refers to the Greenwich one: see Improving connections to Docklands and Figure 16. - Fayenatic (talk) 12:10, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Reliable is as reliable does. His statement in the article that you quoted is Its very existence would, it was hoped, cancel out the blight over what was, in pre-Dome maps, always called the Blackwall Peninsula (no mention of Greenwich). That is plainly wrong - the peninsula has a long and very well documented history as Greenwich Marsh, East Greenwich and the Greenwich Peninsula. It is true that the odd report has a sketch map with the name Blackwall peninsula, but these all appear to be post 1990, and possibly repeating a misunderstanding. I don't believe they support his contention. I think it would be better to alter the quote to one of the Hansard ones and comment that it 'is today (confusingly) sometimes referred to as the Blackwall peninsula' or words to that effect. Pterre (talk) 18:39, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry for butting in - North Greenwich has always been a mutable term - being also applied to the southern end of the Isle of Dogs - a la North Woolwich. The principle determining factor is likely to be Blackwall Reach - which lies at the end of the peninsula. I have never come across 'Blackwall peninsula' as a descriptor, a quick look at Brit History online gives no such derivation; and I'd expect some reference to it there. HTH Kbthompson (talk) 00:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Kb, butt away. Your sentiments support mine, though it does seem to be true that the term Blackwall peninsula came into use in parts of the development community in the 1990s. Not sure if the unfortunate term has gone away yet. Pterre (talk) 09:00, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Probst
editSure looks like they're all the same person. One problem is the two different spellings in the Holweck, but I can try to check on them and maybe check the lists of books printed then to see if there aren't two separate books by similarly named people. I do think they are the same, though. John Carter (talk) 16:36, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Hit Singles clean up on Greg London page
editHappy New Year to you to Fayenatic. Thank you so much for reworking the page. I am practicing and using other pages that look good to me and still learning more about what is accurate so I appreciate the attention. We have Editorial coming from the Music Journalist community that should be published soon concerning Greg London having been declared the highest charting new and indie single on Media Base and R & R, hopefully this week. DJ Laurent Wolf does not have a US Wiki page yet. I will see about getting one up in order to substantiate that new relationship better, however, the song is coming to You Tube soon as well and could be referenced in the video channel at that time. Within one week the collaboration should be news, I am told. Publicity for Greg London is LUCK Media and they are highly reputable, no faking or hyping. The FMQB Chart and USA Today Media Base Chart is posted on the Greg London Official website at the moment on the home page.
I look forward to additional corrections or aid.

Mackenzie Calhoun
editI think we are slightly askew when it comes to the role canon plays in Wikipedia's coverage of Star Trek characters. However, I think we can agree that very few non-canon characters are notable enough to warrant articles here -- and having a category for the two or three that are seems like unneessarily granular categorization. I switched Calhoun to the broader Starfleet officers cat. since, well, he is, and because the article makes clear he originates in the books and not a Paramount-produced production. Right now, he's the only entry in the non-canon characters cat -- would you object to having that category emptied out so it can be CSDed for its tiny population and implausibility of any expansion? --EEMIV (talk) 23:42, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
- No problem. I was going to self-revert first thing this morning anyway. - Fayenatic (talk) 07:18, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your correction - but I assume that it is not a place within either Category:London Borough of Haringey, or Category:London Borough of Barnet - as it says on the tin "This category is for places within the London Borough of ...; other items should be placed within one of the more specific linking sub-categories". It seemed that "Buildings and structures in ..." might be less non-acceptable - since I assume the organisation has "buildings and structures" within those boroughs than adding them into a general grab bag. Perhaps there's an argument for a more specific "Organisations in ..." category.
Sorry if that comes out 'snitty' - it's not my intention - just been a long night; I'm sure we can find the right place for this 'thing'. Cheers Kbthompson (talk) 23:51, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, I started a reply at length, but lost it. In short, the text on the category page is misleading, as the category is also -- properly -- the home for sub-cats which are not about places, e.g. People, Politics. I suggest asking WikiProject London (a) whether to revise the text that is on some London Boroughs category pages, and (b) whether to add sub-cats for organisations based in or active in Boroughs. - Fayenatic (talk) 07:44, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

The article Elisha does need more work; it appears to be 2 accounts of his life pasted one after the other, as the miracles and other events are summarised and then repeated in different words. It's fine that the one article covers both 1 and 2 Kings, but feel free to rearrange it into a single account. However, please work from what Wikipedia policy calls reliable sources, not directly from the Bible. We are not allowed to add our own opinions or interpretations; if you do that, somebody will probably revert your work, which can feel hurtful and frustrating until you get the hang of the main policies around here. - Fayenatic (talk) 18:07, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Request to protect List of Mudaliars and Mudaliar articles
editIn the List of Mudaliars and Mudaliar articles, some unknown IP is adding many non-notable names. I had reverted the vandalism by such IP many times. Inspite of it adding of non-notable and non-Mudaliar persons continues. Through the revision history of Pillai article, I came to know that you are always stressing the importance of citations and protecting that article. Similarly i req. you to protect these articles from vandalism --Sureshmaran (talk) 23:31, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Nathan
editActually he is, lots of fans will generally refer to him as just Nathan. If you meant formally, yes, he isnt. I may be missing something, but aren't disam pages for listing everything? I added his name because any casual fan (not necessarily knowing how wiki naming formats are) may just enter 'nathan' in the search bar. Isnt that the idea?

editWelcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Teluk Intan, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - Bob K | Talk 11:54, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Deletions
editI deleted the reception paragraph of 18 (album) because it was too short and insignificant. For example, having a reception paragraph for Play (album) would make more sense, because the album was very popular and sold many copies worldwide. I hope it makes sense to you now. --James599 (talk) 11:24, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't remember the redirect, Dasara in South India (see Mysore Dasara) implies the ten-day festival of Navaratri as a whole and in the North, Dasara implies the tenth day of the festival - Vijayadashami, Dasara as it is now corresponds to Vijayadashami day. What you think we should do? --Redtigerxyz Talk 16:42, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
- On further inspection I think Dasara should become a disambiguation page between Navaratri, Vijayadashami, and Mysore Dasara - if you agree, I'll post this at talk:Dasara. - Fayenatic (talk) 16:52, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Wow - what a detective you are ! A very good spot, I may say.
It was 'my' article and I simply took the quote from Sugar Blue on face value. To be honest I am going on holiday for a couple of weeks later on today, so I did not take as much time investigating all aspects of the topic as I might have done. However, you appear to be quite right. I looked at Allmusic and a couple of other sites, and can find no reference to Sidney Bechet recording the song, "Sugar Blues", nor an album of his of that title. There is the track named "Sugar" [9] - which may have been billed on the record label as "Sugar" (Blues). Alternatively Sugar Blue himself has got a little mixed up; and the box of old 78s he saw contained Bechet records and another - perhaps by Clyde McCoy, Bob Wills or Fats Waller - of the song "Sugar Blue". Obviously either 'explanation' is pure speculation on my part. I do feel this is worth investigating further, but, as I say, I am going away so will not be able to delve deeper much before Christmas time.
We perhaps need a Bechet 'expert' (assuming you are not one) to fully confirm our suspicions. Or, and this is a longer shot, someone with contacts with Sugar Blue himself, to see if we can better verify his quote. I suspect that someone, somewhere along the way, may have already pointed out to Blue that Bechet did not record such a track.
If your interest goes no further than posing the questions on the article's talk page, then I understand. Otherwise, please bear with me. Regards,
Apologies
editI'm sorry and apologize if I sounded harsh. I'm not quite sure, however, how -- if you followed WP:BEFORE -- you missed all the cites here. When one editor fails to do a google news search, at minimum, and then noms an article for an AfD, many other editors end up doing what that one editor alone should have done. That's why I viewed it as a waste of time, and failure to do a wp:before search, as is required. This is happening way, way too often at the music/band AfDs these days for some reason. But apologies if you thought my response too harsh. And thanks for agreeing to the close.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:01, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- OK, thanks for the message. As you can see from the previous entry here on my talk page, I sometimes get the detective work right! In this case plain Google search brings up mainly mirrors, record sales and blogs. Two other editors had agreed with the PROD and only Thaddeus opposed it, mentioning Washington Post, and searching there is empty. I did try Google news, so I'm not sure what went wrong -- I should have found some results from [10] and [11]; perhaps I failed to click the news archive button, as there is nothing in current news. Live and learn! - Fayenatic (talk) 12:53, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- Again, I totally understand that your nom was good faith now. To give you some background, if you take a look at other nominations on the list right now, you will see that an uncomfortably high percentage look as though the noms--unlike you--didn't take the time to do any research, and had no concern about nominating the articles even after the sources were surfaced by others. That ends up wasting a whole bunch of editors' time, as you can imagine, that could better be spent improving articles. I think a good course for a nom in your situation is to withdraw the nomination (or suggest that it be closed as a snow keep) once the nom is satisfied that proper sources have surfaced. That at least cuts down on the time wasted by editors after that point. And I--and I imagine most editors--have respect for those few editors who do that. I routinely do it when editors surface sources that change my mind as to an AfD. Anyway, I appreciate your message, and am happy to work with you and look forward to it, and again -- I apologize if I was short. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:11, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Re: WikiCleaner malfunction
editIf you look above, I did answer your last inquiry. There isn't a "malfunction" of WikiCleaner. All of the edits are my own. WikiCleaner just gives an easier to deal with list than regular Wikipedia does. It's not a robot or even semi-automatic. In this case, I don't even remember what I did. I have a feeling it was just a copy and paste issue, which happens. All of the edits are basically copy and paste for WikiCleaner. --User:Woohookitty Disamming fool! 02:07, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:EyesOnMeSmall.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:EyesOnMeSmall.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 08:12, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

- Thank you too for the warning. You suggested adding the image at the article on the single instead, but the article on the single was previously merged there. I don't mind recreating the article in the single, which was certainly notable, but other editors forcibly and repeatedly merged it into the article on FF8 music, and merging it does avoid unnecessary fancruft. - Fayenatic (talk) 00:17, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
- I have no objection to the image appearing in the article on the single, but mindlessly asserting that the image is "iconic" is going to get you nowhere with regards to including it in the discography article. I have no opinion on whether an article on the single should exist. J Milburn (talk) 01:09, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

- That word was not the sum total of my justifications recorded on the talk page and in edit sumaries.
- You may have three times as many edits as me, but that doesn't exempt you from WP:CIVIL. Perhaps you thought that "mindless" was a suitable epithet to go with my user name. I chose it without a great deal of thought, intending humour, but sometimes regret the choice; you wouldn't be the first editor to take it the wrong way. - Fayenatic (talk) 14:13, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
