inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Three Days (2011 film)

As the film is only now making the rounds, I am hoping you might agree with a redirect to the sourced section I created on his film at the director's article: Alex Hyde-White#Projects. If or when it gets coverage, the redirect can be undone and the film article expanded and sourced accordingly. Best, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 18:05, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:51, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Australia (1992 Malayalam film)

How about we redirect this one to film director Rajiv Anchal's article where even his failure(s) might be mentioned in context to his career even if themselves failing criteria for a separate article? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:34, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Chatta Bazar Kaman

The last ones are always the most difficult, so thank you if you are able to help copy-edit any of the remaining articles. We have reduced the total backlog by 163 articles so far. Special thanks: Special thanks to Stfg, who has been going through the backlog and doing some preliminary vetting of the articles—removing copyright violations, doing initial clean-up, and nominating some for deletion.

GOCE March drive wrap-up

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive GOCE March 2012 Backlog Elimination progress graph Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

I responded to you on my talk page. Thank you for revisiting the AFD discussion. It would be acceptable to do a <s>strikethrough</s> of your deletion statement and then simply move your own keep to underneath the strikethrough. Best, Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 03:29, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Note

Hello PaintedCarpet, Thank you for your contribution. At present, my research is the only one that has delved into this topic using this crisis bonding terminology, therefore, no other sources exist. I am however, in the process of having my work published in a journal article. My dissertation was reviewed not only by a large committee but also by a third party which justifies the notability component. Could you please clarify why you disambiguated "coping". This link is a integral component to bonding.

Hello PaintedCarpet, Thanks so much for your help with the Coping link. Frankly, all of this Wikipedia stuff is new to me. After chatting with the Wikipedia help desk, it was not indicated that there was a conflict of interest by placing an article about a body of knowledge I researched on the concept of crisis bonding. It was actually conveyed that my doctorate dissertation on the matter was regarded as notable given it went through a third party to be published and copyrighted. Simply, I have done extensive research on the topic, devised a theory and want to share what I have learned. I'd like to continue adding to the page as more of my articles get published. I also have disaster imagery that I would like to use. Thanks. Dr. Susan M. Sutton Clawson 21:52, 6 June 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuttonClawson (talk • contribs)

Hi PaintedCarpet, Gosh, thanks so much! Yes, I can definitely add some of the references from my dissertation to the crisis bonding page. Bear with me as I muddle through this Wikipedia process to whip it into shape. May I call upon you for further help? Have a great weekend!Dr. Susan M. Sutton Clawson 23:43, 6 June 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuttonClawson (talk • contribs)

Thanks. I've made a ton of changes thus far to make sure it reads well and contributes to Wikipedia-I am sure I be making more refinements with the references, etc.! Also, do you work for Wikipedia to necessitate the crisis bonding page to be patrolled? And what exactly does it mean to be patrolled? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuttonClawson (talk • contribs) 02:06, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello PaintedCarpet, I have added secondary sources and added references as per your request. Additionally, I reached out to the Wikipedia helpline to make sure it is copacetic. Is it customary to harass a new user who is merely contributing to Wikipedia? While actively adding requested content, I was bombarded by two other users to add the very same items that I was in the process of typing. Despite my disclosure that I already had the aid of the Wikipedia helpline and yourself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuttonClawson (talk • contribs) 16:10, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi PaintedCarpet, This is all really convoluted given none of the contributors know anything about this area of study except for me, yet all feel authority to change it from my original intent which is to simply contribute to a body of knowledge that was not there before. It is a catch 22 given I am the only one who has researched this, identified a theory and labeled it. It is a work in progress given I just learned how to use Wikipedia yesterday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuttonClawson (talk • contribs) 17:18, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello PaintedCarpet, Ok, so this Wikipedia experience has been nothing short of insanity. While I truly appreciate your help and input, I am finding that I am getting the exact same editors posting the exact same comments even after I have fulfilled them or in the process to fulfill them-just for the sake of them to edit an article. This experience has been miserable which is sad because I merely wanted to add value to Wikipedia on an unknown topic. So, I would like to discuss options as you seem pretty well-versed in this format. Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuttonClawson (talk • contribs) 18:54, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi PaintedCarpet, You have been kind and helpful. Several others need to take note of your tact.  :) I looked at the instructions you sent and I am not well-versed on that Wikiversity transfer process...it took me forever just to figure out the "talk" feature, let alone the nuances of Wikipedia! I do have concern about the crisis bonding talk page as I did not realize it is for public view. This is not good and is damaging professionally. Can we get rid of that since this page is moving? And where exactly is it moving to within Wikiversity? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuttonClawson (talk • contribs) 21:31, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I do have a few questions: Do I need to do anything to that Wikipeida page? Will that page ever be resurrected with different content? Do I need to create a new account on Wikiversity or does everything transfer over? I noticed that my user page didn't. Also, the links associated to the article now on Wikiversity no longer shows Wikipedia articles (ie. disaster, human bonding), how do I make those links again? The links now take me to a blank page.Dr. Susan M. Sutton Clawson 14:41, 9 June 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuttonClawson (talk • contribs)

Island barangays

Hi there. Thanks for creating all these decent articles on islands in Iloilo. I am in the process of merging all the island-municipality and island-barangay articles (just finished merging island-provinces) so that they not just talk about the physical geography of the islands but also their human use (as barangay/city/municipality/province) which I think many of the island articles you created do. So i would suggest (if ever you do start creating more related articles) to name the articles using <placename> so that both island and adminstrative unit are covered. Thanks --RioHondo (talk) 07:58, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that you edited the Comic Book DB article. Thank you for contributing. The article has currently been put up for deletion, as well as my other first article Heaven Sent Gaming. It would be greatly appreciated if you could add a "Keep" or "Remove" vote to the articles. Again, I'd appreciate it, I've put a lot of hard work into the Heaven Sent Gaming one to meet all of the standards of a Wikipedia article, and I believe the Comic Book DB one to be an important asset to the comic Wikiproject.
