Hi Graeme, to update you: Talk:Cà Mau has had a RM to restore the articles moved counter RM (while logged in), after IP activity hiding previous RM (while logged out), and deletion of previous RM notices (while logged in). Can you please now restore the others moved by G6 "uncontroversial requests" counter Talk:Cần Thơ/Archive 1 RM.? In ictu oculi (talk) 02:15, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Tatamagouche Centre, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mi'kmaq (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You are moving articles from English to Vietnamese-language titles "per request at my talk page". What does this mean?

See Talk:Cà Mau#Requested move 3 baaed on the consensus. Rather than going for G6, the previous move were controversial and have been reversed. There are about 600 more moves you requested that may also be reversed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:22, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

None of locations you moved were listed in any recent RM. Most of the people voting in the Ca Mau RM wanted to restore the 7 August 2011 Can Tho RM. So I don't see how this RM can apply to items that weren't listed in the earlier RM.

Yen Bai province isn't even a city, and certainly wasn't in the Can Tho city list RM. It is now the only province with a title that uses Vietnamese-language spelling. These articles were moved to ASCII titles almost a year ago. If they can stay at the locations I moved them to undisturbed for a year, that confirms that the moves were not controversial at the time I made them. If there is no time limit on these things, why not move everything back to pre-2006 ASCII titles? RMs are not supposed to be interpreted as if they were common law precedents. The guidelines represent consensus. Not one of the recommendations or references given in NCGN supports moving these titles to Vietnamese-language spelling. Kauffner (talk) 01:58, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply

]

Graeme, FYI Kauffner has already repeatedly been asked to stop making claims such as "that confirms that the moves were not controversial at the time I made them" since apart from the closing admin on the Talk:Cần Thơ/Archive 1 RM User:Arbitrarily0 02:48, 7 August 2011 (UTC), complaints from Vietnamese Users and WP:VIET article creators such as "without consulting the WP:VIET, or at least, having some words with me. I cannot agree with that kind of manner." User:Grenouille vert, Kauffner also received specific warnings on his Talk page from admin User:Prolog and User:Gimmetoo regarding these moves, but deleted them. Maybe Kauffner can supply the dates he was asked to stop by Prolog and Gimmetoo, as well as whether any other Users objected to the moves. In any case the consistent result of all RMs on geographic names should be upheld. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:29, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• If IIO gets his way, articles about the Czech Republic will be full of Czech words, articles about Germany will be full of German words, and articles about Vietnam will be full of Vietnamese words. Then the nationalists of every nation can sit around feeling smug, but who's supposed to be the readership for polyglot Wikipedia? Perhaps everyone can just read about their own country. Kauffner (talk) 11:08, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• I thought there was a RFC on the topic recently at
  WP:TITLE but after a quick look I could not see it. Is it conclusive? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:48, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply
  ]

Hi Graeme, no Kauffner started an RfC at WT:Naming conventions (Vietnamese), i.e. the talk page of what is largely his own essay. Despite having canvassed those known to be against Vietnamese names, or simply WP:CONSERVATISM (quite why I'm not sure), the result was 23 for Vietnamese titles, 16 against. Not a giant majority, but in line with all 3 RMs on Vietnamese place names. - and again enough to illustrate that the 600 G6 "uncontroversial" moves were not "uncontroversial".

As for the xenophobic content in the above message; 99.99% of titles for Czech and German articles are at Czech and German spellings and always have been. The Vietnam articles were at about 80-90% at Vietnamese titles before Kauffner moved the 1,800. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:04, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose we can say that the canvassed RfC is not as conclusive as the result of the 3 RMs, no. But the specific issue of place names was not raised, and some of those invited to the RfC are against French and Irish names too, so all in all, no reason to ignore the results of the RMs. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:07, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm involved here and was asked to comment, so you may wish to take this with a pinch of salt, but my suggestion would be not to make any more moves until the RfC concludes. Jenks24 (talk) 06:17, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW the RfC has like most of similar talking shops concluded. There hasn't been a new vote since the first 3 days, 3 weeks ago. But that's still fine, the 600 "uncontroversial moves" can wait on being restored in line with the RMs for another 7 days. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:58, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• I was not expecting my talk page to be an RFC on the RFC. What I have done is reverse my moves that clearly were controversial, and I can tell that any other similar moves are controversial too. So I won't be doing more until the RFC is concluded and closed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:23, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, more than fine by me, thanks Graeme :) In ictu oculi (talk) 09:27, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The issue of the page moves has already been to ANI and was referred to the RfC. IIO repeatedly brought the issue up at the RfC, but it didn't much traction. Other editors didn't demand that these titles be moved back. I don't accept IIO's vote count, but the pro-diacritic side did have a slight edge. No specific proposal got majority support, much less a consensus. Kauffner (talk) 14:27, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graeme, please note that:

(i) WP:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive761#Kauffner_mass_moves_away_from_diacritics_against_consensus was made 2 days before Kauffner's use of logged out edits to hide 2 previous contrary RMs on Vietnamese towns (contrary Ca Mau RM, contrary Can Tho RM) before requesting G6 dbmoves contrary to RM results - actioned by Graeme/Edgar181/MalikShabazz - was noticed, so this issue has never been before ANI.

(ii) And of course the RfC proposition proposed by Kauffner did also not make mention of his logged out activity, deletion of contrary RM notices, nor open the question of whether his 600 G6 proxy dbmoves should be reverted. My understanding is that this is firstly an issue for the admins who actioned the moves rather than having a referendum.

In ictu oculi (talk) 22:20, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The admins will do things by request, and if controversial by consensus, so if a group has a referendum of policy based consensus they can request those admins to act, or other admins to step in and do the job. Of course if you have an RFC with the result that an admin has to do 600 moves, it will look like a large job and deter people from solosing the discussion! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:13, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Graeme. Yes, though that technical issue in itself doesn't strike me as an insuperable problem since any such RfC could naturally and easily find admin volunteers among the majority 23 who expressed opposition to anglicizing Vietnamese titles on the canvassed RfC (at least 5 or 6 of whom are admins), to parcel up any resultant housekeeping. What's more an issue is how one could even have a clean RfC so soon after one compromised by canvassing. Anyway, nothing has to be done in a hurry, this can go slowly, and slowly build from areas of consensus. It's only in last 2-3 months that opposition to Czech names has evaporated on en.wp, so slowly, openly and cleanly would seem to be the way to proceed. We're all learning; 3 months ago I was talking nonsense about Serbian names on the (misinformed) belief that Serbians always used cyrillic, a couple of Serbian editors educated me otherwise. Thanks for your time again, very much appreciated your attitude and assistance on this. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:18, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all of your help and the support !. i try my best to expand this article and after 2 times this article was deleted. "User:Beastiepaws" was deleted many thing that i wrote here and many articles about israel. At least in the Hebrew Wikipedia it is kept forever. פארוק (talk) 04:24, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

According to what is known an Israeli Antisemitic left parties in the Israeli governments prevented the construction of the World Bible Center next to the old city walls of Jerusalem next to Mount Zion. The project was planned in 1966 and several times the israeli ministers tried to start the construction and someone stopped everything at the last minute. in israel it is not a secret that Antisemitic parties with political movements Jewish haters that affect in the all regime in the country since the founding of the state. another project that planned to built near to the World Bible Center is not far away from the World Kabbalah Center project next to the UN Headquarters Promenade in Talpiot neighborhood overlooking Mount Zion and the city walls from south. this project is stuck 2006. פארוק (talk) 12:23, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And i think that someone here hates Israel and because of this he delete articles about Israel or merge them into other articles. even in Hebrew wikipedia we don't delete/merge short articles or articles with a few links. פארוק (talk) 21:42, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not going to assume that but instead encourage an approach that builds things up. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:53, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did you understand that i am don't speak English ?. i want to contribute because i love to write here but I feel sometimes peoples want to help and sometimes they don't. but mostly i have a feeling that someone here hates me !and it is not a single person. פארוק (talk) 06:18, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This may be the case. But if you complain all the time and accuse people then people will hate you more. It is a waste of effort for people to fight each other. Much better to build up. Instead of participating in a pointless battle, it is better to move on somewhere else and try something different. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:26, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your advice. I will continue to look for a third party source and in the meantime I will remove that section from the article. Thank you again Sunshine2808 (talk) 18:23, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Graeme Bartlett I would like to request the undeletion of Kohana (Web Framework). The page has been gone for a while now and Kohana has evolved. There have been books published and known applications have been made with Kohana like Wepay. Other notable frameworks have been created out of Kohana like FuelPHP shown here: FuelPHP Cookie.php. It's one of the bigger and actively developed frameworks around. I think this framework does deserve to be in the listing.

No, that is not correct. The editor could have provided proof that it was not a copyright violation, but, opted, instead to say the copyright violation could be removed later. You could have provided such proof also, but chose to just reject the notice. I provided the URL of one copied source, and I am removing the copied information from the other copied source. Try not to support vandalism of Wikipedia, and, copyright violations are vandalism. -Fjozk (talk) 21:02, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply] The wording was changed enough so that nothing was the same, so no infringement.

You will see that there is one "18 word" match. This is the title of a journal article that I used as a reference which was also cited in the main source. The only other "matches" over 3 words long are "the Gulf of Mexico and" and "Alexandrium monilatum is a" and "cells are wider than". It is rubbish to call my article a copyright violation but if Fjozk wishes to correct any errors I may have made in the article, he/she is welcome to do so. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:53, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply] Nice try. You frequently write DYK articles that are on the main page, that are largely plagiarized, except where they are absolute rubbish. You do not read the science articles at a level of understanding, and you should stop creating articles on topics you don't understand and stop plagiarizing articles with your rearrange a word here and there then claim a second rate duplicate finder shows that a reversion after yours wasn't a copyvio. I find your copyvios because I have read the sources, then I run them through a plagiarism detector, and you would be flunked in every class you ever took, as you should be. And yet, worse than your plagiarism is your failure to understand the complex biology and simply post anything with the right words in it strung together without meaning. Cut it out. And look through your history. I am not the first person to bring this to your attention. You've been accused of writing complete nonsense before. And you continue to do it. In spite of admissions on your part that you don't understand what you are writing.

There seems like there should be information about stuff there that I am missing in terms of nature. --LauraHale (talk) 00:25, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply] You are right, but it is not as if I know anything without research. I do have a picture of Gibraltar Falls I could upload. Are you back here? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:32, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply] Picture would be nice. :) I've been back in Australia since mid-September. PhD stress and postdoc stress and academic paper writing stress. I don't have access to sources like I should to add some of the background information. (I could write articles about Canberran sport people until the cows came home with the sources on my bookshelf.) Thought these would be kind of fun to write and get some one to take to DYK (which they have) since the signpost singled out Canberra as needing activity. --LauraHale (talk) 01:05, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply] F5 and dates Note that {{ Stefan2 (talk) 00:42, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply ] Interesting, anyway it is time to delete now. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:10, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply] Revdel At first I didn't think much of it, but on further reflection these edits might require revision deleting.[1] As far as I can tell the name of a reporter in the article is being linked to a crime simply because their names match. Got your name from a list of admins willing to do these deletions. First time doing this so let me know if I have done anything wrong. Cheers AIRcorn (talk) 21:55, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply] Thanks Thanks for your input on my sandbox. I changed the pictures from the thumb size to the larger size because my instructor told my class he did not like the thumb size. Also I do not know what DOI stands for or is? Thanks Again.

Are you amenable to speedily deleting it now, or should I list it for discussion? --BDD (talk) 20:01, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply] Eround1 Slow Earthquakes Thanks for all of the input on my page! I have fixed all of the things that you said should be fixed. I have also been searching for the "slowest earthquake" with no solid results. I have added a little blurb about asperity-controlled and linked to another wiki page for more info on it. I have found a scientific paper on: Scaling Relationships of Source Parameters for slow slip events, and I am trying to understand it a little more than I already do to see about adding a little bit more information on this topic. As for the last two sentences on the page, I am adding/editing the preexisting slow earthquake page in hopes of improving it, and those two sentences were put there by the first editor. Should I erase them? Or put (citation needed) behind them? Another thing that I was curious on was when I make my page live since there is already a page about this do I save my edits to that page or just make my page go live? Eround1 (talk • contribs) 23:02, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply] Hi Graeme, Thank you for your input, I plan on incorporating the different models into my page. The South Tibet Detachment is commonly interpreted as a normal fault, however there are newer interpretations that it is more likely a thrust fault. Unfortunately my page isn't ready because I recently had trouble with the deletion of many of my edits while trying to insert a citation (one of many problems I've had while learning Wikipedia), but I plan on working on it over the next few days to get the page ready. I appreciate your time and comments and I look forward to more input in the future. Ericorphys73 (talk) 13:31, 8 November 2012 (UTC)Eric Orphys[reply] Talkback Hello, Graeme Bartlett.

Biosthmors (talk) 18:26, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply] Hello again Graeme, I'm having more trouble with Wikipedia. I was a day late as you may remember finishing my draft of my page to go live because of other problems. I submitted my page to be approved Friday early afternoon and I'm not sure if I made an error in doing so since I have no information on whether it was approved or denied. Is there anything I can do to make the process go faster, or am I at the mercy of the administrators? Ericorphys73 (talk) 18:47, 11 November 2012 (UTC)Eric Orphys[reply] Thanks Thank you Graeme.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons . You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Cresix (talk) 23:32, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply] Proposed deletion/removal of public view-Rider University revision I'm asking if this revision of Rider University (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rider_University&oldid=515565523) on 2:56, October 2, 2012 to be removed from public view/deleted from history. It seems to be pointless vandalism. hanks for pointing this out. It is ugly vandalism, but it was reverted fast. It does not meet the criteria for revision deletion as it is just your regular vandalism, not excessively offensive, or defaming a particular person.
