JC's Girls
Hi Cirt,
I hope that life has been well with you since we were last in touch. Might you have time to review an article I have up for featured status? It is called JC's Girls. Any comments you might add to the discussion would be greatly appreciated.

- Although I realize you're not an admin on Wikipedia anymore, I still thought I'd let you know that I re-created this article. I have no idea how it looked back in 2010 but I'm guessing WP:MUSICBIO was tighter back then, as now charting a single song on any music chart passes notability.

Speedy deletion nomination of Portal:Internet/DYK/10
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Portal:Internet/DYK/10, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It is unambiguous vandalism or an obvious hoax. (See .
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See Wikipedia:FAQ/Businessfor more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — TaqPol talk contrib 12:44, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Oh god... I'm really sorry - I think I might have incorrectly tagged the page for speedy deletion as I'm cleaning up the vandalism of an vandalism-only account... Hopefully it haven't broke other stuff and you are able to get the content back. Again, I'm really sorry about that. — TaqPol talk contrib 12:53, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
Any chance I could persuade you to take on the review? It should, pretty much, be a walkover as explained on Maile66's talk page. Let me know. Peace,

Please Restore Voluntary Content Rating: Mentioned in Law Review
In 2010 you moved the Voluntary Content Rating page into my userspace (User:ArneBab/Voluntary_Content_Rating). Another user found it mentioned in a Law Review from 1997 where VCR is described in the words “The Voluntary Content Rating self-rating system promoted by CYBERSitter is almost the model of a standard”.
Following the deletion review guidelines I’d like to ask you to review the move into userspace in light of that new information. If you agree that a mention in Law Review establishes notability, please move the current version back to the original article.
(the information was available shortly after the move into userspace, but it took me quite some time to recover enough from seeing it removed from the main Wikipedia to take up the issue again)
If you move it back into main space, please leave a redirect from my user page, since I have some links pointing there which I do not want to see broken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArneBab (talk • contribs) 06:36, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Why now?
Considering the fact that I have been contributing to Wikipedia since July of 2007, and that it has been almost two months since my last post (August 3, 2015), I am puzzled why you have all of a sudden, now, sent me a "Welcome to Wikipedia" message. You included a link to this page and said to use it if I had any questions, so here I am, asking. —Hccrle (talk) 09:58, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

FAC
I've thought for a while about about how to approach you about what you just did at FAC, and in the end I guess I'd just appreciate an explanation of your thought process. From my perspective, you left a comment on virtually every nomination on this list, linking to your own nomination, and seemingly having spent minimal time examining the article (based on looking at the time between each comment). By my count, you supported 13 nominations in the span of a few hours. What am I supposed to make of this? --Laser brain (talk) 15:04, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

I agree with most of the cuts, but know the material best, and where it should go; was in the process of creating an "Other Redskins" article were content from both this and the main controversy article could reside.

reviewing more GA noms
Re this: I do review one for every one I nominate, usually from the "longest without being reviewed" list; I'd love to do two but, unless one is an easy fail, I usually can't find the time for a serious review (When I review any GA-nominated article, I like to print it out and do a hard-copy edit, with notes, before going online with my thoughts ...

Athletes First - Page Creation
Hi Cirt -
Hope this finds you well. I'm reaching out to follow-up on a page I created five years ago for our agency, Athletes First. We are a sports agency that represents more than 200 players, coaches and broadcasters in the NFL. I would like to create this page with new content and I'm reaching out to the admin who originally deleted our page (you) to ensure that's alright. Can you please let me know what I need to do to move forward? I can provide plenty of references and background if it helps. Let me know.

Your FA review
Hi Cirt, just wanted to thank you for your thoroughness in reviewing FAs. I've learned a lot from your example. --Atsme📞📧 18:59, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

So you taking the time to come here to post to my user talk page, and tell me that you feel you've learned from my thoroughness in reviewing FAs and that you've learned a lot from me — that really means a lot to me.

But I suggest you post neutrally-worded-notices to talk pages of relevant WikiProjects asking for help, such as Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Orders, Decorations, and Medals, and Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics. I wish you the best of luck, — Cirt (talk) 10:13, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for commenting on my FAC. As you suggested, I consulted a few native English speakers to copy-edit the article. Unfortunately none of them were kind enough to respond. -- Frankie talk 10:54, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry to hear that! I suggest you also try posting neutrally worded notices to talk pages of relevant WikiProjects, and post a request at WP:GOCE, and ask some of your friends who are Category:User en-5 or Category:User en-N but might not be actual Wikipedia editors themselves but just friends in-real-life, to read over the article.

Forever's GA nom and photograph
I found a couple of photos of both Gruffudd and the cast on Flickr for section 6.1 of Forever's GA nom. I have a quick question, though. Can you use photos with CC BY-ND 2.0 licenses on Wikipedia without it violating copyrights? SciGal (talk) 21:10, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- I've noted the questions in your section. I have taken care of section 7. Section 9 is on the to-do list. I addressed section 10 in section 2.1 of my response above your reevaluation.
- As for the photos, the link itself was a little confusing, so I looked it up on Wikipedia. I found that I cannot use the photos that I was thinking of as the ND renders the image non-free. I tried to find one on Wikimedia, but there weren't any from Forever. The closest that I could find was one for a Comic-Con panel for Ringer.SciGal (talk) 21:28, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Crinoline pic swap
Hi Cirt! Just letting you know that I have substituted one of the images in Crinoline and as you recently reviewed it for GA status, just wanted to give you a heads-up in case you wanted to double-check that there are no concerns with it and it won't affect the GA status (though I can't see how it would). I thought it was a far better illustration in that it showed not just a Dior crinoline, but the actual crinoline petticoat worn underneath. Mabalu (talk) 02:33, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

- Would you consider putting up the perspective-corrected version as an ALT? The downside is that it could split the vote, but there are pros and cons to each image, mainly the perspective correction is more pleasing (personally), but it does show a little in the stars on the left side... Just a thought.--Godot13 (talk) 17:13, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, Godot13, for reaching out to me, here, I really appreciate it. Personally I'd rather very much like to keep the current version, as it is First Place Picture of the Year 2006. Also, I'd extremely like to avoid splitting the vote, as you suggest might happen. — Cirt (talk) 17:57, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

- @Daniel Case:, thank you very much for this, it's most appreciated to get feedback about the caliber of my GA Reviewing, so thank you !!! — Cirt (talk) 00:50, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
- You're welcome once again. It's been a good day for me in terms of recognition, actually.
Just this morning (well, yesterday morning, as I type this) I received word that
WT:DYK and ask to make sure you get the hook reviewed in time. Because it won't happen any other way). But the timeline for that this year is ... well, doable, but kind of tight. And if it were to happen in 2016, it would have to be on New Year's Day itself, and my experience is that a fair amount of people will have reasons to want particular FAs on January 1 that are more specific to it being New Year's Day than just the first Friday night of January (And honestly I wonder if anyone will release a movie for that weekend this year. I can't imagine a potentially deader Friday night for a new movie than New Year's Night).) 04:21, 25 October 2015 (UTC)Also, in the film department, I have long wanted to get The Devil Wears Prada to FA, and this would be a good target year since June 30 will be the 10th anniversary of its release. Perhaps by January that would be a good time to nominate it ... even without what I learned from this process, I knew that some work would have to be done on it before an FA nomination anyway.
Once again, thanks! Daniel Case (talk

The Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise
Hello Cirt: I am copy editing The Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise for the GOCE. In the "Themes" section, this sentence appears at the end of the section: "He expressed shock that the Star Trek franchise was able to survive such a stinging rebuke."[1] I'm unclear as to the meaning here. Does this mean it's shocking that the Star Trek franchise survived the "rebuke" of being cancelled by NBC? or something else. Perhaps you could clarify?

Comments from Jim
I'm sorry that you considered my comments at the Sonam Kapoor FAC to be selective. I only left out the second part of the quote because I had no objection to it. I've had the occasional run in with Americans (I don't know your nationality, so that's not aimed at you) who tell me that a particular article should be in US English because most English speakers are American, ignoring the many Anglophone countries in Australasia, Africa and the Caribbean and the millions of speakers in the subcontinent. I just felt that the assumption that the editor lacked full fluency because of his origins (turns out not to be Indian anyway) was unfortunate, although clearly unintended. There is at least one Indian editor on Wikipedia who regularly copyedits my work.
FWIW, my only paid work these days is as a copy editor, which I suppose makes me "professional level" writer. However, I am aware that it is my specialist technical knowledge rather than my literacy skills that matter most for that. If you got the impression that I was distorting what you said to score points, I can only say that there was no intention to "cherry-pick" and I apologise if that's how it came across.

Hustler Magazine v. Falwell edit
I hope this is the correct way to contact you but you contacted me about an edit I made to Hustler Magazine v. Falwell and the case citations, from Hustler, that backs-up my edit are:
http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/485/46.html
"Of course, this does not mean that any speech about a public figure is immune from sanction in the form of damages. Since New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964), we have consistently ruled that a public figure may hold a speaker liable for the damage to reputation caused by publication of a DEFAMATORY FALSEHOOD, but only if the statement was made "with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not." Id., at 279-280. False statements of fact are particularly valueless; they interfere with the truth-seeking function of the marketplace of ideas, and they cause damage to an individual's reputation that cannot easily be repaired by counterspeech, however persuasive or effective. See Gertz, 418 U.S., at 340 , 344, n. 9. But even though falsehoods have little value in and of themselves, they are "nevertheless inevitable in free debate," id., at 340, and a rule that would impose strict liability on a publisher for false factual assertions would have an undoubted "chilling" effect on speech relating to public figures that does have constitutional value. "Freedoms of expression require "`breathing space.'" Philadelphia Newspapers, Inc. v. Hepps, 475 U.S. 767, 772 (1986) (quoting New York Times, supra, at 272). This breathing space is provided by a CONSTITUTIONAL RULE that allows public figures to RECOVER FOR LIBEL or DEFAMATION ONLY when they can prove BOTH that the statement was FALSE and that the statement was made with the REQUISTE level of CULPABILITY."
Libel (aka: an outright lie) is NOT PROTECTED 1st Amendment Speech, so my edit was on the MONEY!!!!!
Then, later on in Hustler, the Court said:
"See also Street v. New York, 394 U.S. 576, 592 (1969) ("It is firmly settled that . . . the public expression of ideas may not be prohibited merely because the ideas are themselves offensive to some of their hearers"). Admittedly, these oft-repeated First Amendment principles, like other principles, are SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS. We recognized in Pacifica Foundation, that speech that is "`vulgar,' `offensive,' and `shocking'" is "NOT ENTITLED TO ABSOLUTE CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION under ALL circumstances." 438 U.S., at 747 . In Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, 315 U.S. 568 (1942), we held that a State could lawfully punish an individual for the use of insulting "`fighting' words - those which by their very utterance inflict injury or TEND TO INCITE AN IMMEDIATE BREACH OF THE PEACE." Id., at 571-572. These limitations are but recognition of the observation in Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. v. Greenmoss Builders, Inc., 472 U.S. 749, 758 (1985), that this Court has "LONG RECOGNIZED THAT NOT ALL SPEECH IS OF EQUAL First Amendment IMPORTANCE." But the sort of expression involved in this case does not seem to us to be governed by any EXCEPTION to the GENERAL First Amendment PRINCIPLES stated above.
We conclude that public figures and public officials may not recover for the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress by reason of publications such as the one here at issue without showing in addition that the publication contains a FALSE STATEMENT OF FACT which was made with "ACTUAL MALICE," i. e., WITH KNOWLEDGE that the STATEMENT WAS FALSE or with RECKLESS DISREGARD as to whether or not it was TRUE. This is not merely a "blind application" of the New York Times standard, see Time, Inc. v. Hill, 385 U.S. 374, 390 (1967), it reflects our considered judgment that such a standard is necessary to give adequate "breathing space" to the FREEDOMS PROTECTED BY the First Amendment."

One more thing about my Edit
The NEXT sentence that followed my edit, says this:
"Thus, Hustler magazine's parody of Jerry Falwell was DEEMED to be WITHIN the LAW ..."
That goes to the HEART of what I said! I said that you cannot be held liable for your public speech:
"when the speech involved qualifies as protected First Amendment speech"
Please RESTORE my edit, it is CORRECT and the way it is currently stated, AFTER YOUR REMOVAL OF MY EDIT, it NOW says that you can say anything you want against a public figure and you cannot be held liable for it and if you don't restore my edit, if someone is sued for defamation, all they have to do is point at you and say "He said I could say it" and you are liable in the matter and all because you REMOVED my LAWFUL edit.
You are now liable in any and all Defamation matters that may occur, until you restore my edit, and all because you removed an edit that you are clearly not qualified to remove and Wiki members should not REMOVE any edits from LEGAL matters UNLESS you are a LICENSED Attorney at Law.
Please restore my edit. :)

Hi Cirt! I noticed you're an active member of Wikiproject Media. I just posted a note there about the Uproxx entry because I recently wrote a new draft for the article and would love someone to review it. If you take a look at the article now, I think you'll see why it needs a rewrite—the content is incomplete, outdated, and some of the sourcing is weak. If you're up for it, I'd love your help reviewing what I've put together, or to hear any suggestions you might have for the article. As a full disclosure, I have a financial conflict of interest and worked on the draft on behalf of Uproxx. I won't make changes myself and am very open to feedback!

Cirt, I'm very much afraid that this review has been abandoned by Zanimum, who has a history of starting reviews and then not getting back to them for months, if ever. He has not been responsive to my posts on his talk page.
At the moment, there are 29 unreviewed GA nominations older than this one. With the GA Cup in full swing, I think it's likely that this nomination would be picked up in reasonably short order: the top 10 oldest unreviewed noms qualify for an extra 10 points in the competition, so it shouldn't be too long before this would be in the top 10. (It's old enough to qualify for a 6 or 8 point bonus regardless.) If you like, I would be happy to put the nomination back in the reviewing pool, so it is available to GA Cup (and other) reviewers. Just let me know. I may do so eventually anyway, given Zanimum's track record. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 08:05, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

How do you decide when to use one-click archiver?
Hi, Cirt,
I notice from time to time that you'll visit a talk page that I watch and use the one-click archiver to archive, one at a time, a large number of old discussions, especially on project talk pages. I've been setting for the first time (or resetting) archive bot instructions on talk pages when I see a lot of old discussions, and I wonder what you think the pros and cons are of using different tools for that job. One advantage I see in just resetting an archive bot instruction is that it is a long-term fix for cleaning up the talk page, and ensures everything gets archived in chronological order. Relying on the bots also makes the clean-up of a talk page a single editing action visible in users' watchlists, which I think is a courtesy to however many other users watch those same talk pages. But you may have a rationale I don't understand for doing as you do (I'm aware you've been here much longer than I have), so feel free to let me know any reason you have for preferring the one-click archiver to an edit of a talk page's archive bot settings. All the best; yours for a well discussed, collaborative, well referenced Wikipedia. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (Watch my talk, How I edit) 00:23, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

GA/FA content
Hi Cirt, I noticed you've brought an impressive number of articles to GA and FA status. I was wondering how this is actually done, as even after looking at the relevant guidelines I can't understand how to do this with an article. Thanks, --
Cirt, I'd like to suggest that your nomination be put back into the reviewing pool; its seniority would be intact. If we do, it would be the sixth oldest unreviewed nomination, and as such will be snapped up quickly for review in the ongoing GA Cup: the ten oldest unreviewed nominations get the maximum bonus points for competitors, and six of the previous top 10 were snapped up in the past twelve hours. I'm not guaranteeing that The Land of Gorch would be picked up that quickly, but I would be extremely surprised if you had to wait more than a week to get a reviewer who would be invested in doing a prompt and proper review.
I'm very sorry that Zanimum has not been responsive; my experience, unfortunately, is that reviews can take months, as has happened here, and several have been, like this one, effectively abandoned, and had to be put back into the reviewing pool.
Please let me know what you'd like me to do. Thank you. Note that the review has been open for 85 days now; if Zanimum hasn't responded by the time it hits 90 days, I will be returning it to the pool regardless. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:34, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, BlueMoonset, if you're certain it'll get reviewed relatively quickly, that sounds good. — Cirt (talk) 15:52, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- It's done. As I noted, it's sixth on the list, and the top five are displayed near the beginning of the main GAN page. If it isn't picked up by the end of next weekend I'll be shocked, and I actually expect it to be snapped up before then, what with the next round of the GA Cup starting on Friday. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:28, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- Alright, BlueMoonset, I sure hope you're right. Thank you very much for your help, — Cirt (talk) 17:33, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- I'll be terribly embarrassed if I'm wrong. I think you'll see it show up in the Good Articles project box, that I just noticed is here on your talk page, any day now as being in the five oldest unreviewed GANs. From there, you'll be able to monitor its progress, though of course sometimes articles are taken out of order as a reviewer's mood strikes. Best of luck!

Hai, your comments was very helpful which was basically the main problems in that list from making it Featured. The copy edit suggestions from Ojorojo is complete and I had made the changes. Please give a visit when time allows. --
First of all thank you for your guidance
Cirt
First of all thank you for your guidance, although I find it hard to workout exactly what to do on Wikipedia being an extreme newcomer, not only to Wikipedia but to all social media...
The comments referencing my creation of an autobiography will I hope be answered in that I was not knowingly doing so, but rather correcting or modifying what others had written without realising the consequences. My edits were either typo corrections or mistaken additions followed by deletions.
Where I might have sought to provide references to note-worthy sections, there has appeared an unfortunate issue - many references that might be contemporary to the text have not survived the analogue era - i.e. no links now exist. Everything written is true but how does it become verifiable? For example articles in the UK newspapers about the OneStopFresh deli in 2000-2010 have not survived archive limitations or the sites have gone off-line.
I also would like to comment that my husband Michael Messenger has tried to help in resolving these problems for Wikipedia, but he is not fluent either, and now also is on the 'Deletion' list!
Of course I think I have done some noteworthy stuff in my varied life: I helped myself through my careers and now help others but on Wikipedia, I seem to be being pilloried for blatant self-service - I am proud of my life but there has been no intent to self-glorify. Please help me through the canyons of content - I can't see what should happen next...
regards

Thanks. And yes, I did write it myself. I first included it during Season 15, first as a section at Talk:Broadway Bro Down, and first formatted it as a banner for the following episode at Talk:1% (South Park). Nightscream (talk) 21:35, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Number 57
Hi, I noticed you currently have a disagreement with Number 57. I can tell you that I would not waste any more time trying to reason with him nor have I ever come across such a bad faith admin on here before.
To illustrate my point he tried to editwar content out of an article against
- @WP:BADGER. I do sincerely hope he moderates his behavior in deletion debates in the future. In the meantime, I'll back off, and focus instead on quality improvement efforts. Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 21:02, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- You're welcome, glad I could help. I hope he does too. I must also add that I have found that the large majority of admins here are doing a great job and are generally very helpful. It's just the small minority that make things so difficult that can cause other editors to leave the site, take care. Tanbircdq (talk) 11:36, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
DYK for Social justice warrior
On 7 April 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Social justice warrior, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in August 2015, the term "social justice warrior" was one of several new words and phrases added to Oxford Dictionaries? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

There is no such person as Caitlyn Jenner. There is a man pretending to be a woman in order to gain the plaudits of morons. Kindly leave alone. 88.104.147.103 (talk) 18:41, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
