https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bureaucrats%27_noticeboard&oldid=647205886#Resysop_request

Things like this make my day. Thank you. You need to be proud of what you did with this situation. All of it.
You have my respect, and that of many others. Sometimes the good guys can win, a little.
I'm sorry it took so long, and cost so much. That's wikipedia, unfortunately. Begoon ^talk 12:13, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Welcome back!

As a recently returned sysop, welcome back to the admin corps. We always need help at WP:ADMINBACKLOG if there are any areas you can help with that would be most welcomed. Happy mopping! — xaosflux ^Talk 14:59, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

I am glad that the recent case restored your faith in Wikipedia's ability to root out corruption. Jehochman ^Talk 15:41, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks to your evidence I became more familiar with the concept of reputation management, so thank you, Jehochman. I think that some of your comments and thoughts in the case were good. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 09:58, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the lead image! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:47, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Glad to help, Gerda. I think that I can help more with the Bach cantatas, as I have access to the critical commentaries in the recent Bärenreiter Urtext, both in German and English, and I can also upload manuscripts from there - just ping me which one do you need and I'll take a look. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 11:19, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

I go over them improving by the liturgical year. BWV 22 was for last Sunday. Now nothing until Oculi and Palm Sunday, followed by Easter. If you could also look up the next, that would be very helpful. Follow the link, find Church cantata (Bach)#Oculi, you get to BWV 54 and BWV 80a, followed by BWV 132 and BWV 1. - Different topic: "potentially misleading", - everything we add here is potentially misleading, but we don't stop editing because this is so, no? I don't believe that an infobox has more potential to mislead than other features. Parameters which might mislead should be omitted or phrased with special care, instead of not having that "peep in" - as Nihil novi called it - altogether. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:38, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

I consider infoboxes oversimplifying and often unnecessary - and classical music is one of the areas where playing with "genres" and other similar "parameters" really could make confusion - the facts are often too complicated to be listed as isolated noncontextualized parameters in a table. But first of all, I really don't like imposing of any uniformed features to all articles, especially when they are imposed with little respect to editors who actually write the articles. But it's just my opinion. I don't like uniformity, imposed as a rule. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 15:52, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

I don't see where you would find the attempt to "rule" that all articles uniformly have to have infoboxes. I never claimed that, nor did any other I know. (The view seems another oversimplification.) In articles I create, I usually also create an infobox. I leave articles of others alone, would do so even without restriction. In the actual case, however, I found that the diligent work of an IP, improved by several others, was simply reverted, without an explanation to the IP who really can't know that classical composers are topics to be handled differently from the rest of Wikipedia. In such cases, I am with the user who made good-faith efforts, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:14, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

I can accept both options, it's not a matter of life and death. I just said what I think. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 21:06, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Bach cantatas

BWV 54 isn't there, Gerda. BWV 80a is lost, but there are autographs of BWV 80 or BWV 80b (Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott). Here is what I found and uploaded:

• 
  BWV 132, (Aria)
• 
  BWV 1, violin part

--Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 08:38, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! (Pinging works only with a "fresh" signature, but I am watching.) Will see what I can do, not "my " articles, and ownership is sooo important ;) - Did you know that if I start a Bach cantata from scratch or from a redirect, I may add an infobox, but not if there was already one sentence, - makes sooo much sense. I don't know how to explain that to our readers without a feeling of shame ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:37, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

I added both, lead image for BWV 1, next to the description for BWV 132 (one of the cases described above), - I wouldn't mind if you made it a lead image like the other. - Do you have images for St John and St Matthew? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:56, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

I've checked both scores and piano reductions (Bärenreiter Urtext) and there are no images, unfortunately. However, the complete St Matthew and St John autograph scores are at IMSLP, beautiful, and free to download/upload to Wikipedia. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 11:17, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for looking! The scores are included in the structure articles of John and Matthew --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:27, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Zlatá Praha

The writer Bohumil Hrabal was a member of the beer society Zlatá Praha

Hi, can you translate this further?♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:30, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take a look at it. Initially I thought you are talking about this, as I associate the term Zlatá Praha with beer or beer societies. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 14:52, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Done. Please check the grammar and flow, if you can. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 08:44, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Done, good team-work. C679 21:39, 1 April 2015 (UTC)(talk page stalker)

Indeed, good team-work. Thank you, Clouds. The article need more verifications/citations, but I think we can trust Czech WP, in this case. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 07:16, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Vin09

Vejančický, welcome back! Would you restore the autopatrolled right of Vin09? I know that Demiurge1000 had objected[1], who is now banned by WMF. Since 2014-08-02, Vin09 never had a single instance of copyvio. Thanks. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 13:42, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

I hesitate to assign the user right to Vin09 because the copyvio issue was quite extensive, and it was not a long time ago. I suggest to you or Vin09 to ask for an independent review at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled. Sanctions against another editor have nothing to do with this. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 14:17, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

I've seen the discussion. Thanks for User:OccultZone. I'll follow what User:Vejvančický has said.--Vin09 (talk) 14:21, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Way Out (2014 film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gypsy (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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:39, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Answer to your question

I removed the AfD notification from my talk page simply because I'd read it and I don't achieve my talk page. Many thanks for the permission. Cheers! . Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 21:11, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

You've archived your talk page up to December 2014, since that time you remove messages manually. My personal impression is that you remove mainly messages you don't like but I may be mistaken and I want to assume good faith. In the edit history of your talk page I found multiple messages by others suggesting that your behavior in the recent past was problematic. I also found out that some of your article creations were deleted as copyright violations, i.e. Microbial growth monitoring techniques and Transcription activators in eukaryotes. I find this issue particularly problematic, as both the articles were well formatted and referenced, which increases the possibility that they might mislead editors patrolling new pages. I also noticed Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive856#New_editor... and Talk:Molecular_tools_for_gene_study#Original article was copyvio. I'm sorry for not noticing that previously. At WP:AUTOPATROLLED, I usually check article creations, block log and user talk pages for indications of possible problems. In this case, everything was OK, at first glance. I've removed the user right provisionally, as I think you are not perfectly familiar with the basic WP policies and you need more time to learn how to create valid articles. I apologize for the confusion, and please don't hesitate to ask me if you need any assistance. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 08:20, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

FWIW I agree with this decision and commend you on being thorough. Swarm ^X 08:28, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

• Thank you so much Vejvančický and Swarm, I respect your concern on copyvio and the competence issue I had in my first few weeks on wikipedia. I joined Wikipedia on June 2014, I wasn't in anyway familiar with policies then and I created copyvio articles (about 6 or 7 article) which was deleted between June and september 2014, the same period I had a competency issues at ANI which almost led to an indefinite block. Several experienced editors gave some useful advice which I followed and many thanks to DGG who mentored and changed my edit habit. After the case was closed at ANI in that September 2014 (about six months ago) my edit behavior had completely changed and having been familiar with basic Wikipedia's policies, I had created about 141 valid articles (well referenced) not including a redirect or disambiguation pages with no such concern, which clearly shows that am familiar with policies. I have no idea of what you mean by you need more time to learn how to create valid articles after about 141 valid articles had been created by the same editor.

  Yes! I achieved my talk page up to December 2014 and I removed the AfD notification from my talk page on January 2015 when I no longer achieve my talk page. Of what relevance is your concern about that and what is the correlation? Editors have the right to remove content from their talk page (the question of liking the content is irrelevant).

  I don't think your withdrawal of the tool is legitimate per your concerns and I see your action as abuse of administrators privilege. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 10:58, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

I'd wait a bit more, but it's just my personal opinion, and I'm not the only administrator around here - your request is still open to assessment by others at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled. The WP:AUTOPATROLLED user right doesn't affect your editing in any way, so there's no urgent "need" for it. You have of course the right to remove content from your user talk page, so feel free to consider my remark as irrelevant. Thanks for all your good work. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 11:25, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Am aware that the user right doesn't affect my editing in any way and if you check Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled page history you will notice that I had suggested that to editor who applied without any familiarity with the tool and I was thanked for my suggestions and a request was also declined per my comment which clearly shows that I understood its usage. You are right, there is no urgent need for it but I've demonstrated an urgent need for it with my huge number of valid articles and am tired of receiving patrol notification days after my articles was created and some was still pending given much burden to NPP. My familiarity with the tool and Neutral point of view, Verifiability, Original Research, WP:What Wikipedia is not, Biographies of living persons and other policies and guidelines simply suggested that I can't submit inappropriate pages or inclusion of inappropriate content to valid articles. I can be trusted with the tool. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 11:55, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

argument for deletion - this race is like a dance-off rave

Hi Vejvancicky, Can you help me understand the proper process for this? I edited out all that information because, as per WP:MOTORSPORT it was irrelevant. Have a look here https://www.facebook.com/pages/Speed-Run-The-Official-INDIAN-DRAG-RACE/38995051993 this is the most reliable information I can find about what these "speed runs" are and, what they are is simply public events for any rider, new or experienced, to show off their skills. You register through an organization called "ride safe" and there are no standards for entry. It's like putting someone on wikipedia because they attended a dance-off. Once I eliminated the non-notable stuff, there was nothing left and I realized the whole article was pointless, hence my tag for deletion.

Am I doing something wrong? Can you guide me? Now that you've removed the deletion tag, it removed the talk page to further discuss reasons for deletion. It's already tagged for notability issues. Thanks for your help. Tylerdurden1200 (talk) 14:03, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Tyler, I objected rather against your removal of sources such as The Hindu and subsequent CSD nomination. My impression after reading articles in the media is that she is viewed as a female popularizer of motosport in India (which might be unusual in that country) rather than a moto racer. I objected against speedy deletion of that article and in my edit summary I pointed you to WP:AfD, which is a part of WP deletion process where notability and other issues are properly discussed. Also, it's easy to remove most of content from an article and then nominate it for speedy deletion as {{db-a3}} ("no content"), such as you did. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 15:00, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Totally understandable Vejvančický, and thank you for your guidance. I went through the afd thanks to your recommendation and posted a better argument. I see your interpretation of her as a female popularizer, but she doesn't have the profile of other female popularizers in India, nor does she do anything to promote the sport. Consider, by contrast Deepa Malik who does a ton to advance Indian women in biking and biking safety. Interestingly, none of that is noted in her wikipedia page, which I shall change. Here is a beautiful example of a true inspiration for women http://www.readersdigest.co.in/how-deepa-malik-got-her-wheels-back Does this make sense? Tylerdurden1200 (talk) 15:09, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

In this area, you are obviously better informed than me. Personally, I would prefer a transparent discussion weighing all of the important aspects of the topic, but I have to agree that your reasoning is persuasive. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 15:28, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

You can share your thoughts by clicking this link. You may respond to this quick, simple, anonymous survey in your own language. If you take the survey, then you agree your responses may be used in accordance with these terms. This survey is powered by Qualtrics and their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy.

RE: Vinařství v ČR

Zdravím, díky za fotografii. Já jsem IT analytik/architekt (viz. CV na mém webu) a i když mám teď jeden mezinárodní IT projekt týkající se vinařství, tak k tomuto jsem se dostal spíš náhodou, když jsem zahraničním partnerům z Moldávie vysvětloval, co je to viniční trať. Nakonec jsem zjistil, že když už to tak píšu, že je to jak definice na wikipedii, tak jsem to sem dal. Problém je, že i když se setkávám s širokou řadou oborů a termínů, tak do těchto věcí nedělám a editaci wikipedie zpravidla ponechávám těm, kdo se dané oblasti specializaci opravdu věnují.

Shaygan Kheradpir

I was just reading the string you started on Jimbo's Talk page and the Newsweek article and was hoping you might be willing to chip-in on what may, or may not be, a similar case.

There are a few accounts on this page that are polite and use the Talk page, but in my opinion show COI editing patterns, like removing any mention of out-sourcing or layoffs and mis-representing sources to exaggerate his accomplishments. The article-subject also has connections in India and I've also tried extensively to get sustained attention on the page or the possible COI issue, without anyone "caring" enough.

I do have a disclosed COI, mainly just with the Juniper section, and am concerned that if they don't have a COI, than I am just being a bully. Do you have time to take a look? CorporateM (Talk) 16:55, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

@CorporateM: There's maybe a COI issue, but to me it seems that it is possible to discuss constructively with the people there. I don't get why they need to push claims such as "..played major part.." or "..was one of the first.." but I think those are minor issues when comparing with the Wifione's large scale systematic abuse. Please let me know if you have any specific objections. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 05:57, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

A rather personal question (you don't have to respond if you don't want, of course): Is editing Wikipedia for money a significant source of your income? --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 05:57, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

I was kind of hoping someone would tell me I've just grown jaded. Sometimes it's hard not to be paranoid. Though using socks does not suggest a plan for being reasonable.

Yah, Wikipedia consulting is my main source of income, though it's sort of a part-time gig. I spend about 30% of my time pro-bono advising 70% of article-subjects to abstain, because their objectives are not aligned with Wikipedia's content policies. Then I make money off helping the exceptions: Article-subjects that are treated unfairly, that have junk articles, or article-subjects with such a glowing reputation in the source material that there is less of a conflict with a representative NPOV article.

If you explain why you're asking, I might be able to provide better information. CorporateM (Talk) 14:39, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

@CorporateM: I'm asking because I and my girlfriend build our house, I still need money, I have/had many jobs and I consider many working opportunities. I'm also an experienced WP editor, I can edit impartially and in your reply (and long-term non-problematic activity on Wikipedia) I can see that open and transparent editing for money is possible. I like your attitude and competency. It would be great if you could provide better information. Thanks and sorry for my belated response. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 07:50, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Georg Nees

Hello Vejvančický.

my first Draft:Georg Nees[2] at the en:wp is now in a phase where I need help. I know I have to fix some more little typos but I am not sure about category, personaldata and how to chance the draft for the old article about Georg Nees. I did not copie text by other autors in my article - I wrote the article completely new. Maybe you know more about what I have to correct. I am a German and at de:wp is an article by me. Alex Kempkens[3]. My mentor helped me to get it correct. Regards--Maxim Pouska (talk) 08:11, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello Maxim. I've tried to improve some of the less intelligible passages in your draft, but I have no special expertise in this area and I know nothing about this person - I just closed an AfD discussion years ago. I've noticed that some of your citations refer to book titles but they don't give specific page numbers. For me it is difficult to verify the content as most of the refs are in German and my knowledge of German is rather weak. After you finish the work on the draft, you can replace (or rather incorporate) the current content of the article Georg Nees with your version, but at first, I'd recommend to you to improve the citations, refer to (and maybe directly quote) the German text backing up your claims, and then maybe ask for assistance with copyediting of your prose for example here. Thanks for your efforts to improve Wikipedia. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 09:01, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for czeching the footnotes, Vejvančický. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) You're a gentleman and a scholar. I don't know when I will need a Czech language editor again, but next time I do, you're at the top of my Czech list. The rest of this GA review looks pretty straightforward from here.

Don't hesitate to contact me when you need help with translations from the Czech language. I'm a bit busy these days but I'll try to help when I can. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 09:17, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Native English speaker editing!

Hi Vejvančický - I hope you don't mind that I have been editing many of your posts lately. I really admire your work and think your English is great! Let me know if I ever correct something and the result isn't what you intended.

I appreciate your help immensely, Alice. Your improvements are very good. Unfortunately I have little time for Wikipedia right now. Thank you very much for your help and interest :) --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 06:38, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
	A belated thank you for all the work you did in exposing a certain ex-admin's abuse of editing privileges. It takes a lot of heart to keep going when nobody believes you, and Wikipedia is better off for your persistence. Hats off, Vanamonde93 (talk) 22:33, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

žádost o pomoc

Dobrý den, děkuji za info, ale přesně nerozumím tomu, co bych měla doplnit, co je myšleno inline citations. Předem děkuji za odpověď.

Dobrý den Emo, tvrzení v článcích na Wikipedii by měly být doplněny nejen soupisem zdrojů, ale též konkrétními citacemi upřesňujícími odkud daná tvrzení přesně pocházejí. Pokud tvrdíte např. že ...the title painting is excellent work by Matthias Zimprecht... pak by mělo být uvedeno kdo a kde tvrdí že to je excelentní práce, tedy na Wikipedii dodáte např. <ref>Rybár (1995), p. 234</ref> za zmiňované tvrzení. Citace se pak objeví v seznamu na konci článku, obvykle se dodává {{Reflist}}, ale myslím že se citace objeví i bez toho. Omlouvám se pokud Vám toto přijde příliš puntičkářské, myslím, že Vaše první příspěvky jsou dobré. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 16:43, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

I read some edits to Synthetic Fabrics written by Denisarona. I would like to know if this particular edit is an opinion or if it can be supported by research: "In many cases, synthetic fibers are environmental fabric choices. Cotton is incredibly resource intensive, as it takes a lot of water to farm cotton. Wool is not much better, as the sheep that produce wool need water, food and a lot of grazing land in order to survive. Although synthetic fiber production does involve some carbon emissions, the environmental footprint of many fibers is much lower in comparison to natural fibers." I ask this because the true costs of producing, using and disposing of (i.e., the life cycle of) synthetic fibers, as with all petroleum-based products (plastic, etc.) are not accounted for in the seemingly "cheap" price. The pollution that has accumulated over time is devastating our health and the health of the planet. Long after cotton and wool have biograded, synthetic materials continue to pollute in waterways and oceans. Thus, I am calling for the erroneous and damaging (as it can influence people's choice to opt for more earth-friendly materials/products) opinions of Denisarona to be removed or corrected to reflect solid and thorough research -- not paid for by Dupont, Exxon or the plastics/oil industry. I don't know my way around Wikipedia, so I hope this reaches someone who can answer my question. 107.107.61.6 (talk) 12:49, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

xman.cz

Dobrý den, it's been ages; I hope that you have been well. May I draw your attention to the article Lunch atop a Skyscraper? For a long time (see its talk page), this has attracted unreliably sourced, and totally unsourced, claims about who the people in the photo are. (Clearly a lot of people like to think that yes, that's their grandpa sitting up there.) I've recently (yet again!) flushed out utterly unsourced names. One name, however, is sourced to "Oběd na vrcholu mrakodrapu: jak to opravdu bylo". I suspect that the naming parts within this are just more hearsay and speculation, but the obvious novelty here is that they're in Czech, which I can't read. The website (explicitly mentioned in en:WP only here) seems to present soft porn, sensationalism, "wellness" and miscellaneous other crap, but with hints of actual thoughtfulness here and there -- however, I can't really judge. Could you please comment at Talk:Lunch atop a Skyscraper? Thanks! -- Hoary (talk) 00:21, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello Hoary, dobrý den. Nice to hear from you again, and I too hope that you are well. I commented at the talk page, please check. Xman.cz is a Czech online sewer comparable to Maxim or other outlets enhancing egoes of hopeless guys trying to play big machos. The story of Gusti Popovič seems to have some serious background but I really can't say how reliable it is, many online sources just repeat the same information and I can't find any serious research confirming that Gusti is really on the photo. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 16:40, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Ha! I greatly enjoy your description of this "source". (And I suspect that you enjoyed writing it.) This "sourcing" has to go. I'm wondering how best to fix the mess, but haven't yet consumed enough coffee today to be confident of doing the right thing. Soon I'll turn off the computer and go out for the day; I'll rethink the matter this evening. -- Hoary (talk) 23:00, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
