Undoing editing in One for the Money (film)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


About your message on my talk page: There are 2 versions of telling the plot of the film: in one version, you retell the whole film and naturally reveal the end. But if you just give short info what the film is about, it's not good to reveal the ending 'cause when one starts to read short info, he'll not be happy to read the ending. In this case you give short info what the film is about and, without retelling the whole film, you wrote the ending of the film. Gevorg89 (talk) 17:52, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see your point after more carefully reviewing the text. Thank you for discussing this with me, I do not like undoing constructive non controversial edits from reputable editors. It makes me really uneasy to be put in that situation of not knowing if a revert is aiding or just maintaining the status quo of an article. Cheers! Lazh (ɮ) 23:16, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear Illusive,

I've added a brief paragraph explaining how the Casimir effect works, and also added a note and changed a title, from "Casimir's calculation", since this section differs significantly from Casimir's original approach. I tried following your suggestion to describe these changes after made, but I don't see my description anywhere.

I have reverted your edit to

Ground Zero. I can imagine you thought Ground Zero Official (talk · contribs) was the one with the COI. However, their edits removed an important part of the article and was in fact simple vandalism.

OK, thanks. From the snapshot context I took before editing the page I did not even realize that the page was about something other than a musical aggregate. This will serve as an example for a long time for me to slow way down when reviewing edits for vandalism. Thank you for noticing and removing the offending content I completely missed.

Inappropriate speedy tagging

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Your placement of a speedy deletion tag on Don Shields was quite inappropriate; the article was obviously under active construction by a new user. While listing references before providing text may not be the standard approach, it certainly shows a quite admirable interest is satisfying RS and BLP requirements. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 01:48, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Mr. Wolfowitz - I see you are a great deal more experienced than I ever was in the process. I do take a rather unapologetic deletionist stance on pop culture, media and persons and an inclusionist stand on history, science and mathematics; This pisses many people off. I agree with your main point, however, I disagree with the removal of the speedy deletion tag. While I won't spin the wheel against a better educated editor, I believe that article will remain context-devoid unless another editor picks it up. I am just coming back up to speed from an extended Wikibreak, and a considerable deal of the wording surrounding CSD has changed since my departure. If articles like this meet the standard nowadays, perhaps it is best I back off and watch CSD through a window for the time. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Cheers!

Right to Vanish versus Cleanstart

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Hi. Unless you were explicitly given permission by the Arbitration Committee to do so, you cannot return to editing under a new account if you have vanished (i.e. if you account was renamed to something else). If you did vanish and want to return, you must have a bureaucrat unvanish (restore the original name) of the old account. If you instead are doing a cleanstart' (you left your old account but it was not renamed, and you waited a while before starting the new account) then you should never describe yourself as "vanished", because they are two very different processes, and Right to Vanish has become a politically charged issue after several users abused it.

Either way, you must inform ArbCom (in private, of course), as this protects you should someone link the two accounts and accuse you of sockpuppetry. You do not have to link the two accounts yourself though.

Hi, I was writing you a reply when i found that you had deleted your

wp:RFP/F request. You had said that you might need file mover as you will be uploading files. While I have no reason to believe you will not upload the files. But the question remains, should n't you use proper names before uploading ? I mean you will have to rename it any way , why not do it before uploading scans if at all a renaming is required and save the logs some space, and file movers some trouble. :) File mover right is for rectifying inadvertent errors not for dliberately making an error and rectifying it, hope you got my point. regards--ÐℬigXЯaɣ 17:53, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply

I agree with Stefan2 can you also answer Stefan2's question ? --ÐℬigXЯaɣ 17:57, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't mean for this to get tracked back onto my userspace, but I still owe you all answers to your questions. In response to DBigXray's question, yes, I should name them correctly the first time - I was kind of counting on myself to make more than a few mistakes though, considering I would be using alien hardware. That probably reflects more on me than it does my necessity to get the flag. In response to Stefan2, I really don't like the people at Commons, I hope this isn't insulting, but anytime I've worked with them in the past they are kind of callous arses to me. I may or may not be uploading it to the Commons depending on how the Extrava-SCAN-za type event runs. (If I have a say, we won't be.)

You may have your opinion, but the files you upload here will eventually be moved by a Bot to commons. So its destined to end up there. So its better to upload yourself at commons, so that your attribution (as an uploader) will remain there. apologies if you felt tracked, Had honest intentions of clarifying your doubts regarding the rights.--ÐℬigXЯaɣ 21:05, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thats's cool Pal, thank you for going out of the way to educate me! I am sure that your last comment will stick with me for some time.

Only the general reasons for deletion-- copyvio, abuse, and the like are reasons for deletion of AfC pages. Lack of notability is not--in fact, it's not a reason for speedy deletion of anything at all. Lack of any plausible good faith indication of importance is a reason for speedy deletion of articles, but AfC pages are not articles.

But very possibly for Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The New German Cinema (book - in Chinese), by Yu-shan Huang and Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/International Construction Information Society you did not deliberately mark it for deletion, but the software did so. If so, please let me know on my talk page, because that would be a bug that must be fixed. DGG ( talk ) 05:39, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • DGG; Thank you for catching these pages, which, when critiqued using the written policy, were certainly marked inappropriately for deletion. While I would like to say this was a bug or software glitch, policy clearly states that I am responsible for all edits using Semi/Automated tools. In addition, I have not been able to recreate this error, so there are overwhelming odds I was negligent and liberal in my use of the tool. I am glad you did not let this slide, and that you informed me I slipped up. I have looked at every article I have evaluated before and since (not a huge amount at this point, like 15) and this error was not made in the past and will not happen again in the future. I admit wrongdoing and pledge to not let it happen again. Cheers mate!

Review of article about "Jozef Matejka",

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Dear " Illusive man", you have recently review my article about the Slovak writer Jozef Matejka, link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Jozef_Matejka and have not accepted it for submission. I would like to ask , what have I done wrong, for my article to not be submitted? I have followed the guidelines and I put in as many references to reliable sources as possible,big national newspapers and Tv stations. I had spoken to someone in the web chat help and they had told me that you did not find the article notable enough. Jozef Matejka is a well know, respectable writer who has many fans in Slovakia, and I do not understand what you mean by not notable enough? Is it not important? He has 4 published books,many fans, and often does various appearances. Why is this not notable? because I have seen far less "notable" things on Wikipedia before... Could you please tell me what was wrong with my article and why you did not find it notable enough?

Thank you for your time, Hope to hear from you.

Nikoma 93 (talk) 11:26, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nikoma, thank you for seeking additional clarification. You're a bright person it seems, so I won't child you. Here on Wikipedia, our
    Notability guidelines for the inclusion of persons
    are a little bit less about content, and more about whether or not this person was covered widely by multiple independent, highly visible sources. While I did look up all of the references you provided (excellent by the way, few editors go to that trouble at first), most of them appear to be anthologies or passages of work, and they don't explicitly state an overt significance of the subject. I know, it's a terrible terrible set of rules IMO; I myself make a habit of trying to get pages that are even less notable deleted. What's important to take away from this, is that a)Your contributions are noted and appreciated (please don't take this in a bad way, it isn't personal), b)The article itself is good enough to stand as an article, if even one or two news articles link to the cite notes. That's the real killer here, your citations don't seem to be linking to what you think they should, because if what you say is on the page I saw in the references, I wouldn't have hesitated to pass it. I would be happy to personally approve of it if you could fix those references.

Thank you for seeking my input. If you have any further clarification, I would be pleased to explain further or justify any of the actions I have taken. Thank you for editing Wikipedia! Cheers!

Dear Illusive Man,

Thank you for your reply, I sincerely appreciate your time! However I am not a native English speaker and I failed to understand the last part about what the real killer was. What do you mean by " your citations don't seem to be linking to what you think they should " . Do you mean that the references are not enough ? Do there need to be more outside links to photos from events and stuff like that?? I'm only 20 and not really a big fan of technology, and it's the first time I'm doing this and nobody from my friends really understands these things either so I'm really struggling to understand what exactly I have to fix ! But thank you for your compliments, I really did try to write a good article, with just enough information to give people a general idea about the author ! I put in as many things as I could find, unfortunately in our country not every thing is medialised on the internet yet ! I chose to write this article as I am attending a poetry group at my university, and we have come across many of his poems and I was inspired and wanted more people to be aware that modern poetry still exists in our country, and that there still are people who take great interest in it. But anyway, I would be very thankful if you could spare some time to guide me through what I could to maybe get this article up to an acceptable standard and fix what you thought was wrong ! I am determined to get this right! :)

Thank you very very much again, Sorry to be such a pain,

Dear Illusive Man,

The article [[1]] does have a lot of verifiable evidence of the Department's notability: notable faculty (national award winners; even people who discovered methods bearing their names in textbooks), participation and leadership in international research collaborations, etc. All those are described in the article and have references both to The department had thousands of students since its creation, after all! How can you claim that it is not notable?

I would appreciate a more developed explanation of your rejection. I believe the article passes the notability requirement, as described in the Wikipedia guidelines.

Hello,

you declined the submission of my article about Socialbakers (here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Socialbakers) and I have to ask you why. If you could, please, specifically state, which sentences of parts of the text don`t comply with the Wikipedia`s rules. If I don`t know what to change, I could be rewriting the article forever. If I don`t know what to change/what to do, I don`t like the writing anymore and it`s a shame, because I would like to dedicate myself to other topics on Wikipedia.

Thanks,

Michal.smetana (talk) 08:43, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Michal, I appreciate your obvious effort and ethusiasm in reapplying to the AfC process. However, specific phrasing pervading the article seem to inflate the company itself, giving the article an (IMO) promotional tone that violates policy. While this would only result in a tag on existing articles that were rewritten by an incoming editor, the AfC process requires that articles reasonably conform to the critical Article Space rules. I would be pleased to pass this article if it used direct language that avoided exaggeration of claims established in the reputed sources. I might even do this myself in the new future if I can find the time. If you have any further questions, please feel free to follow up. Thank you for asking me for clarification. Cheers!

Hello, you've just declined this submission and I wondered if you could shed a bit more light as to why. The problem before was lack of verifiable sources; however, I've cited a newspaper article talking about the magazine. If you could explain further about what is needed that would be very helpful, maybe there's something I'm doing wrong.

Dear The Illusive Man, I completely understand the need to catch up on the backlog of submission entries, but I would like to sincerely ask for your reconsideration in the case of Liu Wanchuan's article. Liu Wanchuan is considered to be only one of two students of Ma Gui (the other being Wang Peisheng) to pass on his unique lineage, a lineage which would otherwise be lost forever. I would be more than happy to make this more clear in the article so that readers truly understand Liu Wanchuan's significance to the art. I thank you deeply for your time and understanding on this.

Hi TIM...With reference to my proposed article on

HUSITA
and your notice re deletion in seven days if copyright permission is not confirmed. I posted an email from Prof Dick Schoech giving permission for reuse of his content to permissions-en on 1st November. I've had no reply yet. I'm a bit concerned that the article will be deleted before OTRS have had time to respond. Any suggestions?

Thanks. NeilBallantyne (talk) 05:42, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Howdy Neil, to be clear, this article would never have been deleted, it perhaps would have been denied and kicked back to the authorship phase, but the content itself would not be lost or unreachable in any sense. No editor I know of would ever delete an article at AfC for something like sourcing, unless unambiguously promotional. (This does not seem anything like that.) You can expect the review will stay open until at least such a time as an OTRS team member evaluates the message (which I believe exists, by the way), at which point the article will probably be more than good enough to go live. Thank you for your efforts in securing licensing! Cheers!

Hi there! I noticed you reviewed my article and denied its approval on the grounds of non-credible references. Firstly, I do believe that most of them are indeed correct, but I was hoping you could point me in the direction of the 'not so credible' references as they are all valid from my perspective! That way I can go about changing/removing them accordingly.

Hello Illusive Man,

I am a bit baffled with the decline of article for Johnny Angel Wendell. The first decline said it was not in the correct format and too peacocked. Completely took out all the fan type reviews/raves and cleaned it up just to state FACTS as instructed. Also took care of some references.

There is nothing left in the information that I can cut out. All professional details one would fine in an encyclopedia.

Twilight revisions

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Hi, I just wanted to address your comments. First, I don't have any particular opinion on Twilight. What I was correcting were extremely biased edits made by someone else, which also happened to include false information. If you take a look at the revision history, it said, "The film has received mostly positive reviews from critics and is the best movie in the series." The latter is a pure opinion and the former is a blatant lie. Also, this person said Rottentomatoes critics gave the film 88%, that Metacritic gave it 80/100, and that Roger Ebert rated it three and a half stars. These are all inaccurate as well, according to the source material (that is, the official websites). The correct ratings/statistics are much lower. I also included some negative reviews which were originally on the page but were edited out by another biased person. Those reviews were not written by me. Currently, the only reviews on the page are positive ones. A sentence was shortened to read, "the consensus stating: "It is the most enjoyable chapter in The Twilight Saga." The real sentence says, "It's the most entertaining Twilight, but that's not enough to make Breaking Dawn Part 2 worth watching for filmgoers who don't already count themselves among the franchise converts." Do you see why this might be an issue? I said the film had mostly negative reviews because it does. However, I see that that might be a statement one should reserve for a film that is more strongly panned. 76.91.30.193 (talk) 05:41, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing my article for submission on Jonathan Sanger. I have made a few changes, you suggested that I used too many peacock terms. Please have another look at it for me, I have tried hard to be as neutral and formal as I can. I'm not really sure where I went wrong.

Why was "Josh Mease" Article Declined?I am new to Wikipedia. This is my first article. I have tried to research this on my own, so my apologies if this is explained somewhere and I missed it.

I have been told that my article reads too much like an ad. The copy I wrote feels very neutral and I have compared it to other similar articles. I do include quotes from press under a "critical reception" section of the page, but all of these are cited and they come from reputable sources like NPR and The New York Times. Are these quotes why you considered it an ad?

Would adding more biographic information be helpful? I believe that Mease qualifies as a notable person, and I thought that the basic bio and links to reputable sources would be enough to prove that. So please let me know what I am missing so I can get this page approved

  • Hi Lauren; Yes, in fact, those quotes felt a bit cherry picked and were pretty one sided in painting him a certain way. I saw indications of notability though, like you said, those quotes were in fact sourced! It puts me in an unusual situation. If you want, you could put it back up for review as is, and see if another reviewer likes it... I have no actual authority! At least, just as much authority as any other Wikipedia editor. Or, you could tone down those quotes, and I'd be happy to personally approve it for article space! Thank you for your edits to Wikipedia. Cheers! -

\Undoing Portuguese liking in the UKIlusive it is a disgrace only people who are listed as current portuguese living in the UK are football players... There are many others, scientists, engineers, managers, for example lloyds manager (instead of undoing please add him up)... etc etc..

The information o left online was true... although i can agree it might not be important for everyone to know it yet.. it will be one day so might as well pull it up now. But we will talk in a few years... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.133.11.3 (talk) 03:01, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, again. Thanks for those community standards. I've read them. I don't think the edit is in breach of any of them. He is not a living person. The New York Times is cited as the source in note 27. His family's denials are also mentioned and cited from two Mormon publications with two separate notes. It could hardly be more above board. This information was already in the article. I did not put it there. I merely extracted a summary into the first sentence of the articel and into a subheading. 92.24.83.61 (talk) 05:46, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply

FIBA All-Star Games reversal editHi there. I noticed you reverted some additions made to
FIBA_All-Star_Games
. I also noticed a rather cryptic reference to good faith which I fail to understand.

Since I happen to be the one that added the information that got deleted I would like to point out that I added the information with a very clear reference to verify it. Could you please elaborate on your reversal decision? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.68.92.243 (talk) 21:47, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GeonoticeHi,

Sorry for the delay in replying - away from the computer most of the day! I'm happy to put up a notice but not actually clear what the notice is for; there's two events for London ON listed on

Wikipedia:Contribution Month in Canada - FAQ
(24/4 and 27/4) and there doesn't seem to be a clear place for users to sign up, etc. I've put up something relatively vague and pointed people towards the talkpage for more details.

If you could use the form at Wikipedia:Geonotice for any future requests, it'll really help - apart from anything else, it lets us know what you want the notice to say! (Feel free to also let me know you've listed something there, though) Andrew Gray (talk) 21:31, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
