Westlife members

First time to reply, bear with me if this isn't the place to reply, i'm new to this, couldn't find a reply link to what you said on my revision. Concerning Shane Filan, does his Shafin Building company count? Or his songwriting for other artists? Don't see how other Westlife members but Kian, are involved in other projects. I'd think they all need their own page, or none of them.

WP:MUSIC

Hello, I've checked the WP:Music and in the first box, it stats that a musician is notable if they have had sucess such as had their music in the charts. "Hepsi" the group, have had, and thus each member should have a page created? IE/ for more info on them as individuals such as their DOB's, where they grew up, how old they were when they released the music etc. Otherwise, surely that would be like saying certain members from "Westlife" shouldnt have their own page as some of them havent had solo careers... ? Regards (Hayalperest (talk) 17:03, 4 August 2009 (UTC)) (Hayalperest (talk))

Ok, I understand and with re-directing a couple of the Westlife boys that is fair. If that is the rule than it should be enforced consistantly, and with those who have non-notable indiviual careers. So yes I agree with you. I was led to believe that along with Westlife amongst others, that all the individuals from the band could have their own pages. At least Gülçin Ergül should have an individual page as she has now gone solo and left the group Hepsi...? Regards (Hayalperest (talk) 17:13, 4 August 2009 (UTC))

Yea, cheers. Regards (Hayalperest (talk) 17:26, 4 August 2009 (UTC))

Could you look at Frederick Arthur Greer?

I just wrote a very short article on Frederick Greer, 1st Baron Fairfield and noticed the link to your sandbox article on Lord Birkenhead. I don't know many of the British formalities with titles, PC, KC and all that. Any help would be appreciated. Carldaniel (talk) 19:01, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

AGT Auditions

Ironholds, i think the article i created should stay because it is a subsection of an overly crowded article, America's Got Talent (Season 4), and the larger that article gets, the harder it is to navigate. This is why i organized the auditions into another article. Cpudude91 (talk) 19:02, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

If you want, I will include the other acts who made it through to the next round on the page Cpudude91 (talk) 19:10, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

The articles in previous seasons were set out that way because of the fewer number of auditions. In Season 3, I also considered making a separate article for the auditions. This season, the auditions are so numerous, it fills the entire page and makes it extremely hard to navigate. Cpudude91 (talk) 19:12, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I will include the acts who passed through to the next round by the end of the day.

If this article is deleted, Wikipedia users will have a difficult time navigating around one immense article. Splitting the article is an effective way to organize the info. Cpudude91 (talk) 19:42, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I have just included the audition info of the acts who passed through to the next round. Cpudude91 (talk) 20:38, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I think you should take a look back to the Season 1, 2, and 3 pages of AGT, as well as the Season 4 page before i transferred the audition info to a different article. Because the show is diverse, the eliminated acts are included, as they have been on Wikipedia since the beginning of the show. Because Season 4 had a substantially larger number of acts who auditioned and who were eliminated or passed through, I created a different article to organize the massive first section of the original Season 4 article into a sub-article. This makes the article more organized. Cpudude91 (talk) 21:10, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Ironholds, I think you should check again. My page also states those were the eliminated acts who were televised. Not every act which was eliminated. And, recheck this page: America's Got Talent (season 3). In the auditions section, it has a complete list of the eliminated acts who were televised. My article contains the same, a list that had every eliminated act that was televised. Check back to both Season 2 and Season 1 of AGT and you'll see the same list of eliminated acts which were televised. Cpudude91 (talk) 21:51, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure you're looking at the right article? America's Got Talent (Season 3) article has a complete list of acts who were eliminated. Same with AGT Season 2 and Season 1. My article contains the same type of list as the previous seasons, but in a different article. Cpudude91 (talk) 21:54, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Looks like you've made a good start, and I'll be interested to see how it progresses. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know. What is your overall outline for the rewrite? Groundsquirrel13 (talk) 18:30, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Copyright, IP law, legal advice, etc.

My advice to you, sort-of-lawyer to lawyer, is to avoid the discussion of law on WP. Hammersoft was not representing the views of WP in his comments, only his own. Wikipedia employs a dedicated lawyer, Mike Godwin, to deal with any matters IP related or otherwise, and you are not, as an anonymous bloke over the internet, qualified to give a legal opinion any more than Hammersoft is. Ironholds (talk) 22:20, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Ironholds, thank you for one of the more reasonable responses that I have received regarding this tempest in a teapot. Your comments are well taken. From your Talk page and use of British vernacular, I would be curious to know whether you are either an Anglophile American lawyer or a UK barrister or solicitor. I did a semester as a law school exchange student in England, and I have very fond memories of my time in the UK and my British professors.

I was asked to get involved in the WikiProject University of Florida by a classmate who wanted to see our alma mater better represented on Wikipedia than it was by the several less-than-scholarly articles covering UF-related topics. Frankly, I was appalled by the quality of writing and signed on to clean up about two dozen high-priority articles, so that folks seeking information about UF would not think less of the university when they read the Wiki articles about it. That's why I'm on Wikipedia----I'm on a short-term mission to satisfy

As for today's contretemps, you are correct, sir, I should not be positing legal opinions on copyright, or any other legal matters, anonymously, on Wikipedia. I am a Florida and Georgia-licensed corporate and commercial real estate lawyer. I am not a U.S. IP specialist by any means, and, even if I were, it is professionally inadvisable to hand out anonymous legal opinions. When the other gentleman in this matter began to lay down his understanding of the "law" hard and fast, without any knowledge of the underlying facts and circumstances of the particular artwork or photo, it was apparent that he had absolutely no grasp of the dozens of circumstances and exceptions to the hard-and-fast copyright "safe harbor" rule that he was quoting as law and unchallenged Wikipedia copyright policy. I picked up the telephone and called a law school classmate who practices IP law full-time in Seattle. There are literally dozens of scenarios where the 1946 sculptor's copyright has probably been lost to the public domain . . . .

The artist's failure to register a U.S. copyright in 1946-1947; the failure to reserve copyright with a circle "c" icon on the artwork itself; the failure to renew the copyright in its 28th year (1974) according to then-applicable copyright law; the fact that the artwork was a commissioned "artwork for hire" in which the artist's copyright is presumed, as a matter of law, to be transferred to the owner and commissioning party (the State of Florida) in the absence of a written agreement to the contrary. These are just a handful of the probable exceptions to the 1923 "safe harbor" rule cited by the self-appointed enforcer of Wikipedia copyright policy. BTW, as it was explained to me by someone far better versed in U.S. copyright law than I ever hope to be, in the absence of a copyright registration or the reservation of circle "c" rights, the presumption is in favor of public domain use of the artwork's image. What's the practical significance of this, you ask? In the absence of a registration, the artist can only demand that you cease and desist in the use of an image of artwork IF he actually has a retained copyright. In the absence of a registration, damages are not available as a remedy unless the user of the image has actual knowledge of the existence of the artist's retained copyright. If the artist has a retained copyright, he can demand that the user cease in its use.

Furthermore, the self-appointed enforcers of Wikipedia copyright law, like Hammersoft, seem to have a very crabbed view of the American concept of "fair use." Most American IP attorneys start by analyzing whether the use has any commercial or pecuniary value to the user. In the absence of commercial use, which is supposedly absent from all Wikipedia encyclopedia articles, a colorable argument can almost always be made that the use of the photograph or image of the artwork has an educational aspect thus qualifying it for a "fair use" exception. The hard-and-fast position taken by Hammersoft makes the "fair use" doctrine pretty darn close to meaningless, and, yes, as a laymen he is unqualified to be making such determinations. If Wikipedia is going to permit "fair use" exceptions to images still subject to possible copyrights, then Wikipedia needs to have individuals who are qualified to evaluate those exceptions which are put forward by image uploaders and article editors. Otherwise, just adopt a strict rule and cease any pretense of evaluating "fair use" exceptions.

Anyhoo, Ironholds, thank you for reading my extended vent on your Talk page. I feel much better now. If this issue cannot be resolved in the Wiki copyright forum, I will take it up with Mr. Godwin. As a former corporate general counsel myself, I am sure Mr. Godwin has far bigger issues to resolve than my very small complaint, and I will only approach him as an absolute last resort.

Thank you, once again, for your comment and understanding. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:35, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm currently some way down the long route to becoming a barrister - I'm qualified to practice in a massive zero legal jurisdictions :P. Wikipedia users normally deal with fair/free use decisions in a "broad strokes" manner because most of them aren't lawyers, which can be a bit infuriating because of technicalities that can turn the validity of their decisions on its head. Still, there are some excellent users who can help you with this sort of thing - User:Geni has an annoyingly good grasp of US intellectual property law as it relates to images for someone with a Chemistry degree. If you'd like a third opinion but don't want to bother Mike, I'd go to him or (possibly) User:Jdforrester, who has a good grasp of copyright law and used to be the Wikimedia Foundation gopher. He has a rather long response time on his talkpage, though. Best, Ironholds (talk) 03:54, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, sir. This is exactly the sort of advice and referral to the in-house experts that I was seeking in the first instance. If needed, I will gladly seek out Geni and Jdforrester for further discussion and advice on the current issue or related copyright topics.

Since returning home around 9:30 PM EDT, I have been following the discussion among the Wiki copyright experts on the discussion page (without commenting myself). It seems that one of the Wiki greybeards has found a related "public domain" rationale for the use of images of public statuary. Apparently, there is ample evidence from third-party sources, including the Smithsonian and one or more art registration services, that the statue in question has long been in the public domain based on its public display for 60+ years. There's even an already approved photo in WikiCommons.

Good look with your qualification as a barrister. Very different standards of education and practice in the UK and the USA. We get much more formal legal education than you, but far less practical experience, before the powers-that-be unleash us on the unsuspecting public. I have been a corporate and commercial real estate transactional attorney for 12 years, but I dip my toe in real estate and construction-related litigation from time to time. The substantive law is easy given my transactional background, and fortunately I have friends who help keep me out of the civil procedure ditch by looking over my shoulder.

If you're ever on this side of the pond and in need of a pint, please consider this a standing invitation to take advantage of our Southern hospitality in Atlanta. I have several Oxford classmates, including one attractive female lawyer, who would feel honor-bound to fill your glass. Cheers----and get some sleep, my peace-making friend.

Quick note

Wikipedia and the legal word don't line up, I'm afraid - WP hates id. and ibid. You can use WP:REFNAME instead if you want to cite something multiple times. Ironholds (talk) 05:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, sometimes we learn by doing, and I've been made painfully aware of some of Wikipedia's more idiosyncratic citation formats. As you may have discovered, my rewritten articles tend to generate a few footnotes. I am still waiting on additional historical reference materials that our university historian is shipping to me. Once I have layered in those additional references into my UF history and bio articles, I planned to make the final version of the footnotes Wiki compliant.

Any interest in helping with those Wiki footnote citation formats when I'm ready to proceed in a couple of weeks? You can check out the Andrew Sledd article for evidence of my recent handiwork. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 12:08, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Band: Sixteen Cities

Hello, my user name is His_Warrior, and if you don't mind, I would like to talk with you about my article that you deleted, Sixteen Cities. I have been reading over the WP:Band article, and I have found some flaws within the reasons that all the Wikipedia users who wanted the article deleted, stated. First, in the very first paragraph of the WP:Band article, it states that "failing to satisfy the notability guidelines is 'not' a criterion for speedy deletion." It also goes on to say that "a mere claim of significance, even if contested, may avoid speedy deletion under A7." You see, my article did state significance in many places. First, I put that "the band is working on producing their first studio album, Sixteen Cities." That qualifies for SOME degree of significance right there. Also, simply because the independent record label they are signed to is not included in wikipedia, doesn't mean it's not major, or not significant enough. Most likely, someone just hasn't taken the time to research Centricity Records and make an article for it, although if you look at the record company's site: www.centricitymusic.com, you will see that some of the major independent artists are signed to this label. Another point I would like to make, is that if you scroll down on the WP:Band article, and look under the heading titled: Critera for Musicians and Ensembles, it states that "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) may be notable if it meets any 'one' of the following criteria:

• Has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable." Which my article has been. If you look at the sources list, and also places within the article it is stated that "Sixteen Cities has been featured on independent Christian artist sites", and that "their music is played on Word of Truth Radio's acoustic praise station." I probably should have put the fact that it is in daily rotation on that radio station, because one of you made the very valid point that while it has been played, it could have only been once. So I see where I should have reworded that there, because it IS in fact played daily on this station, and just because the radio station is online, it still qualifies as a radio station. The WP:Band article doesn't say that it can't be an online radio station. Also, the Sixteen Cities article stated that "In the spring of 2009, the band received the opportunity to perform on the Gospel music awards tour," which states that they are obviously getting up there in the music industry, and slowly but steadily becoming popular. While this next piece of information was not mentioned in my article, I feel compelled to tell you that they are also going to be going on another major tour this december, called Youth For Christ, and it is in Denmark. This shows even more significance on their part. Also, in a past version of the article, they were discussed on many other third-party sources, namely New-Release Tuesday, which is not self-published, and is NOT a blog or first party source. They were also on www.jpgmag.com, which is a third-party source that helps promote and sponser and advertise independent Christian artists, as well as some of the major artists. The WP:Band article also states that it is notable if it:
• "Has received non-trivial coverage in a reliable source of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country," which it does too. As mentioned before, they got to during the entire Gospel Music Awards Tour (national), and they are going to Youth For Christ Denmark tour in December this year too (international).
• "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability." Again, they are. In fact, in their hometown of Portland, Oregon, they are usually one of the only Christian bands you hear about playing. Also, for the last six years, they have been the ONLY band to play at a youth event in the pacific northwest, called Forklift. It is every year over President's Day weekend, and Sixteen Cities has been the only band to play every year there under both their old name and new name, for the last six years.
• "Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a compilation album, etc." Again, they have also done this. They have been included on a compiliation album. In 2008, their song Heaven's Lullaby was included on a compilation CD of independent artists titled: "Rock Rwanda" by Downbeat Sounds.
• "Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network." Yet again, they have been. On Word of Truth Radio's Acoustic Praise Station, they are played daily on there, and their radio drop date was on July 10, 2009. They are played in rotation, daily on local radio stations, especially in Spokane, "105.9 Spirit FM, and Portland 104.1 the Fish FM. I would like to point out that one of the editors made the claim that 105.9 doesn't count because Spokane is a relatively small city and doesn't reach that many people. This claim is actually false, because according the United States Census Bureau, we have over 400,000 people in our city, and according to the Wikipedia article Spokane, Washington it states that Spokane is the "second largest city in the state of Washington, after Seattle." So it most likely would reach a large audience from 105.9 Spirit FM.

Then under the Others Heading on the WP:Band article it states:

• "Is cited in reliable sources as being influential in style, technique, repertory or teaching in a particular music genre." They sort of fulfill this requirement with their internship program called Chronologic Solutions because the Sixteen Cities article states that "Also known as the Chronologic Internship Program, its president is Josiah Warneking, the lead singer of the band. The internship is described as "an opporunity for students to obtain practical experience and gain valuable knowledge in the music industry through a 'nationally signed band called Sixteen Cities.'" http://chronologic-soultions.blogspot.com/ The program was founded to offer students an opportunity to gain experience in the music industry, and earn college credit in the process." Yes, I know it is from blogspot, but that is NOT really a blog, it is the only website that was able to be set up pertaining to Chronologic Solutions and is NOT a first-party source at all. It just happens to be on blogspot.
• One last thing I would like to point out is that they have three radio singles that they just released in July, on Centricity records, they are "Someone's Work of Art, Pray you Through, and Undivided," all released in 2009 under the Centricity records label. If you would like to discuss this article more with me, please contact me on my talk page. Swayze (talk) 16:06, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, so I reviewed your message, and you appear to be correct, but I do think the rest of the administrators need to be one-hundred percent clear as you were in your message, especially in the WP:Band article. That was quite helpful to me, what you said. SO do you think I should just wait till they get another CD made under that label, because their singles haven't been on charts as of yet, but they probably will be in the future. Thanks for all your help. Swayze (talk) 17:25, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Dorothy Parker, Jake Wartenberg, and other trivia

For what it's worth, the notorious entry at the Hearst Castle guestbook was written anonymously. I looked up several sources regarding it a while back, and each of the retellings (in reputable sources) claims to quote it directly while reporting a slightly different wording and a slightly different background story. When visiting the Castle itself asked a guide about the discrepancies, who politely declined any comment about it--including refusing to answer a query about the guestbook's actual whereabouts (one would suppose it's in their archives somewhere). Which leaves the impression that perhaps it might be a high class urban legend. All sources agree upon only two facts: that she was a guest in 1935 and was asked to leave very early, and that she exceeded Hearst's quota for cocktails. Beyond that the tales range from having broken protocol a second time by lighting a cigarette at the dinner table, to getting caught in a compromising position with a servant (as that version has it, the position was about as mutually compromising as it could possibly get). Parker herself denied authorship on the grounds that her professional standards would never permit misrhyming "honor" with "Madonna"...but she denied none of the surrounding rumors. ;) Durova³⁰⁵ 23:20, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Trivia

Help me out here. The article I nominated for deletion, to my understanding would have had to be rewritten to come within the scope of the project and allowed entry.

Deletion of Bonei Olam

Hi, I've created an article about an extremely popular jewish non-profit organization that is world famous in the ultra-orthodox jewish community. This organization deserves to be on Wikipedia just as every other Humanitarian organization that exists. I know that much info is still missing, but that precisely is the reason why I put it as a stub. I also believe that this goes into the category of Wikipedia:Don't demolish the house while it's still being built. So if you can just put it back with a speedy deletion notice, so I can challenge it with reson on the talk page I'd really appriciate it. Thanks in advance.

A request

In the interests of collegiality and civil meaningful discussion could you pause in your nominations?

I find it is not possible to give meaningful responses, and to conduct meaningful re-research, when another contributor starts a unpredictably long chain of nominations. If one finds more references for one or several of those articles, it is not really possibly to enhance those articles, when one faces an unpredictably long chain of nominations.

Please don't misunderstand me. I am not suggesting you started this chain of nominations out of bad faith. I am not suggesting you are wikihounding me.

But, I would appreciate you pausing, to give the wikipedia's discussion procedures a chance to work.

Further, I know different people have different interpretations of WP:BOLD, WP:BATTLEGROUND, WP:CIV. My own interpretation of these policies has me attempt to discuss my concerns with other contributors when I notive a pattern that triggers a concern for me. I know I have worked on controversial topics. So I make extra effort to make sure my efforts fully comply with policy. And, realizing that I am fallible, we are all fallible, I make an effort to give a civil, meaningful response to every civil concern voiced, or hinted at, among my contributions.

If you notice some other contributions I made, that trigger a concern for you, is there any way you would consider writing me first? Sometimes people write me to me, and I realize some contribution I made was not well-advised after all, or that it did not, after all, comply with policy. And, when I realize I made a mistake I do my very best to openly acknowledge that, and to fix the problem myself. I think, in the long run, this saves time, because it doesn't require the time and energy of additional contributors reading and participating in an {{afd}}, or other discussion.

Explanation

Obviously (I sent you an e-mail, as well, you may ignore that as I suspect that this is faster), I need an explanation as to why the British Tolkien Society can have their own Wiki page, while the Danish may not. It's not only the BTS who merits an English site; we frequently meet up with other TS's from all over the world, and as far as I know, Danish is only spoken in Denmark. Oh, and many of the other Scandinavian Tolkien Societies have pages, too... now please do explain to me why the Danish one is more irrelevant - apart from to you, of course. I am seriously sick of the standard "your comment has been deleted, please refer to our help page" reply without further comments.

Ethuil o Lorien (talk) 06:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

@Ethuil o Lorien - I am sure you will get a reply from Ironholds soon. Just a suggestion - if you have a chance please take a look at WP:WHYNOT. Each article must stand up in it's own merit, not based on claimed similarity to other existing articles. Also, by your use of the term "we" above I think you may want to review the conflict of interest policy.  7  06:41, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Organisations need to pass the guideline at WP:ORG - yours did not. As it happens neither does the British one, so I've nominated that for deletion too. Ironholds (talk) 06:48, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

@7: I think you are overanalyzing my use of the word "we" here. There is no conflict of interest between Bri and any other TS - as a matter of fact, all similar societies interact with each other on extremely friendly terms. All of them are non-profit organisation, and as we are based in different corners of the world, we have no need or will to try to "compete" with each other. When you say "must stand up on its own merit" - exactly what does that entail? To me, I'm sorry to say, it still sounds like "must be of value to the people in charge", or "must be sought for by x % of the population."

@Ironholds - what part of the ORG do you mean?

• We are covered in quite a few outside, independent sources that I could link to, but they, surprisingly, are all in Danish and probably wouldn't make sense to anyone else.
• We are not advertising anything. It's a non-profit organisation.
• As far as non-commercial organisations go, we can fulfill the following:

"Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards:

The scope of their activities is national or international in scale. Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by third-party, independent, reliable sources. (In other words, they must satisfy the primary criterion for all organizations as described above.) "

(I personally have yet to see any such thing in any article here, actually, but please do point them out to me.)

In what ways do "we" (term loosely used now, apparently) not live up to those standards?

Ethuil o Lorien (talk) 12:29, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

By "we", 7 meant you seem to be representing the Danish tolkein society. You need to provide those references, then - even if you fulfil alternate criteria, independent sources are still required. Ironholds (talk) 13:14, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Exactly. I am not worried about a conflict between your society and the other societies. What I am worried about, and what Wikipedia needs to avoid, is having articles written by people with conflicts which may not represent a neutral point of view on the topic. Please take a look at those links and it should make more sense. Thanks.  7  13:28, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

All the nobility microstubs

By definition, nobility is more significant than the common people, so a claim of nobility is an obvious claim of significance that's sufficient to avoid speedy deletion. I expect that many of these individuals are notable (after all, several centuries ago the English nobility often had significant local power and would effectively pass WP:POLITICIAN), but without proof of such I'm not going to argue that these individuals are notable. Nyttend (talk) 14:05, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

By the way, my edit summary "A claim of notability is sufficient to avoid speedy deletion" included a typo: I meant to say "A claim of nobility..." I type "notability" much more often than I type "nobility", and after I made the error on the first summary, copy/pasting the summary ensured that it would be repeated. Sorry to confuse you as to my intentions. Nyttend (talk) 14:08, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments :-) I understand baronets not having power, but the earls didn't have real power at this time? I would have guessed that they would effectively have been "People who have held...first-level sub-national political office." As I said, however, I'm not going to argue from something that I don't really understand. Nyttend (talk) 14:14, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

B1/B2

Is there a reason you redirected the article on invitation letters to B1/B2 visas? Although it is in regard to that visa type, no where in the redirect page does it address the how to of the letter--what goes into it, etc. Furthermore, I had the Consular Section of the US Embassy read before I posted it to verify accuracy. The purpose was to help people understand and clarify what they needed to include in such letters and your redirect does them a disservice. Bronwenelizabeth (talk) 17:07, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

RallyE rim

If you look at the 1969 Buick order form I included as a reference you will see the option is for a "Rallye Rim" and although it isn't conventional spelling today, that is how it was spelled and sold in 1969. That being said, if you know how to redirect, can you also direct the words "Rally Wheel" "Rallye Wheel" "Rally Wheels" "Rallye Wheels" "Rally Rims" and "Rallye Rims" to my article too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leeskylark68 (talk • contribs) 14:50, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Act of Sederunt

I have ammended the article Act of Sederunt in response to your assessment and I would appreciate if you could have a look and let me know what you think. Davidkinnen (talk) 22:58, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

reply

WRT your assertion I am a hypocrite...

1. You think another contributor insulted you. And you demanded an apology, and a retraction.
2. Then, later, your own comments grew to include increasingly personal reflections on my character, motives, judgment, intelligence and suspected hidden motives.
3. I reminded you that discussions are supposed to be about content issues, not the personalities of the partcipants.
4. You call me a hypocrite, because I didn't challenge the other contributor who you believed insulted you.

That other contributor and I have worked on many articles together. We don't always agree on editorial issues. We don't always agree on how best to respond to challenges on editorial issues.

I do sometimes remind one contributor of the wikipedia's civility policies, when their lapse from civility was addressed at another contributor. I don't always do so. And, when I do, I am most likely to speak up when the contributor at the receiving end seems to be a newbie.

In your particular case:

1. You didn't seem to be a newbie
2. I thought the other contributor had made some good points on editorial matters.
3. The "action", as it were, was over by the time I arrived -- and you seemed to have "given as good as you got".
4. Different contributors have different ideas as to how much WP:AGF they should extend, before they can say, "My good faith is exhausted. I no longer feel obliged to extend AGF to this particular contributor, because their interactions with me show they can't be trusted." I didn't know whatever past history the two of might have had.

My own preferred approach, when I can manage it, is to continue to act as if my good faith has not yet been exhausted, even when, privately, it has been exhausted.

• Sometimes, occasionally, continuing to act as if I can still scrape up the assumption of good faith has got a bad faith contributor to return to acting in a good faith manner.
• Responding in kind to other contributors' bad faith sets a bad example for other readers. I am not going to assume that, if I respond in kind, third parties can determine that the other guy started it, and I was provoked beyond reason.
• Responding in kind to other contributors' provocations further poisons the atmosphere of collegiality we should all be trying to cultivate.

For the record I don't think I owe you or anyone any kind of apology for not challenging that other contributor.

For the record I don't think I owe you or anyone any kind of apology for reminding you that discussions are supposed to address content issues, not personalities.

When is it appropriate....

To refactor another editors talk page? [[1]] I have left a lvl 1 warning on this page for refactoring another users talk page that was clarly not vandalism. I have since been told that because I have a colorful history it is an invalid warning. I would like to have a few admin go and comment one way or another to this as I believe my actions were not only appropriate but very moderated. Thank You.Hell In A Bucket (talk) 09:53, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

the issue wasn't refactoring the talk pages, more so that an admin would be willing to flout the rules and when called on it make an excuse as flimsy as that in not accepting feedback. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 11:11, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

In attempting to give back info I may have clouded my issue. My issue in bold is

"I'll be ready to accept your warnings when you (a) learn to treat newcomers politely and (b) achieve an acceptable standard of literacy in your own work."

MY complaints are that in a clear cut issue of doing something she shouldn't have done the above reasons were used as her reason it was ok. If this is her reasons for something this small imagine if I gave feedback for something more serious (assuming it is valid) and a new user or another editor sees that and assumes just because a person had a rough start they can be ignored.

Freiwilligen

Hi

I am assuming that after I edited the page after your first ["dictionary-definition copied from Wiktionary"] and I removed the banner (as it said I could) added all the text, links and refs that you were in some way still not sure it was "just a dicdef".

The latest takes it a step further with the AFD - I am a little confused as to why you are still treating it as DicDef.

The page collects the Freiwilligen usage not the Freiwillige definitions.
It is a collection of divisions and forces within the German army during WW2.
