Proposal RE: User:Mikkalai's vow of silence

You are a previous participant in the discussion at WP:AN/I about User:Mikkalai's vow of silence. This is to inform you, that I have made a proposal for resolution for the issue. I am informing all of the users who participated, so this is not an attempt to WP:CANVAS support for any particular position.

The proposal can be found at: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Proposed resolution (Mikkalai vow of silence) Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 01:48, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for giving your support to my admin application, which recently closed successfully (36/3/1). I hope I can continue to justify the confidence that you have placed in me.

UST Global Page - Founder of the Company

Dear Bearian,

I have noticed that on 2 occasions in February, you have been requested by user: Chella123 to remove the sentence that shows who founded UST Global.

The fact that the company was founded by Steve Ross is now supported by 3 independent sources:

1. Print Only article from the Los Angeles Daily Journal Verdicts and Settlements. Publication date of Feb 22, 2008.

The first paragraph of the FACTS section reads: "FACTS: Petitioner Stephen J. Ross founded U.S. Technology Resources ("USTR") to engage in the business of providing Internet technology (IT) outsourcing services to US-based companies through the use of less expensive IT labor in India. USTR came into formal existence as an LLC in October of 1998. It was wholly owned by petitioner until June 1999."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Daily_Journal_Verdicts_and_Settlements_-_Feb_22%2C_2008.jpg#Summary

2. Holland & Knight, L.L.C. press release

http://www.hklaw.com/id24660/PublicationId5/ReturnId37/contentid50197

3. On December 3, 2007 the Supreme Court of California ordered that "The Final Arbitration Award be, and hereby is, confirmed in all respects; ...."

- The Arbitration is now a California public record.

The Arbitration panel, in their Interim Arbtration Award to Steve Ross, and their Final Arbitration Award document stated the following in the paragraph labeled BACKGROUND:

"Steve Ross founded USTR to engage in the business of providing Internet Technology ("IT") outsourcing services to US-based companies through the use predominantly of less expensive IT labor in India. USTR formally came into existence as an LLC in October 1998. Until June 1999, USTR was 100% Owned by Ross."

The above paragraph is part of the Final Arbitration Award, and has been confirmed by the California Supreme Court in "All Respects."

Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information to assist you.

Respectfully,

Stevejross (talk) 04:44, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Steve. I don't know how Bearian will respond to your request, but I'd like to add my own comment. The JPG file you posted from the newspaper is interesting but it's probably going to be zapped soon by our copyright enforcers. Can you check the source that you scanned and be sure to find the issue date, volume number and page number. The actual name of the paper appears to be the Los Angeles Daily Journal. The phrase 'Verdicts and settlements' must be the name of a section of that newspaper; it is *not* part of the publication's title. If you can provide the missing details this will allow a complete reference to be added to the UST Global article, even if your JPG file winds up being deleted. EdJohnston (talk) 13:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi y'all. I am staying out of this for now. I am grading midterms in real life and working on urgent projects at WP. Bearian (talk) 20:43, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Your opinion needed

Hi, Bearian! My name is Victor. I am very fascinated Wikipedia user and I hope that my knowledge will be useful here. I take a keen interest in real estate and mortgage and now I'm working at the article Fizber (internet company). Some days ago it was nominaded for deletion.

Intermodal Transit Center Response

the Intermaodal transit center is the entire complex including amtrak, commuter rail etc..., Itermodal transit center station is the METROrail station within the Inermodal transit center.

I also have a question, after i created my intermodal transit center page, another user copied my information, boxes etc and created a second page on the same topic.

the original

Misery (Australian band)

Hey, good call on keeping the Misery (Australian band) article. I see that all those people who defended keeping it, have just about, but not quite yet, fixed it up and added citations and verifications. Perhaps we can keep save that discussion, and use it as a possible explanation of why so many people are not getting the college of their choice these days?

Re: Conservapedia

Hey Bearian - regarding your edit to conservapdia article - the reason I removed it was because it carried (in my opinion) a haughty tone - kinda like wikipedia has this many and they don't :). Sorry about the remark in the edit summary - "who cares?" doesn't really have a very helpful or warm tone to it. I just saw the edit and was like...oh no no no, must undo. I didn't mean to sound cold. *slaps self in the head. Wisdom89 (T / C) 14:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for chiming in at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tim Shell (3rd nomination). Would you mind explaining why you think that Wikipedia:Verifiability doesn't apply here?

Ebionites/wip

I think the page in question was created when another editor, who has since lost an arbcom on this subject and was placed on probation for a year, found that his favored content was being removed on the basis of Undue weight. I am printing out a copy of the page, as well as the extant article, and will try to merge the two of them into a single article in the comparatively near future, hopefully the next few days. At the end of that time, I will first propose to speedy delete it, and then a day or two later probably delete it myself. John Carter (talk) 15:22, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

John, thanks for looking into this. I want to clarify a couple of points. The wip page was created by Loremaster so that disputes could be resolved with the above-mentioned probie without devastating the original article. Alas, that didn't work. The article page is useless junk, containing prior disputed versions. The talk page, however, contains archives of some useful reference material. I suggest those pages be archived on the Ebionites talk page before the wip page is blown away. Cheers. Ovadyah (talk) 01:23, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

My RfB

I wanted to personally thank you, Bearian, for your participation in my recent RfB. I have heard the community's voice that they require more of a presence at RfA's of prospective bureaucrats, and I will do my best over the near future to demonstrate such a presence and allow the community to see my philosophy and practices in action. I am thankful and appreciative that in general, the community feels that I am worthy of the trust it requires of its bureaucrats, and I hope to continue to behave in a way that maintains your trust in me and my actions. I hope that over the near future, you will become comfortable and satisfied with my understanding of the particulars and subtleties inherent in the RfA process, and that I may be able to count on your support when I decide to once again undergo an RfB. If you have any suggestions, comments, or constructive criticisms, please let me know via talkpage or e-mail. Thank you again. -- Avi (talk) 17:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

"Successor"

THanks for the heads-u[. This is a matter of nuance. Of course, we do not now know that he is resigning. Hence, we cannot absolutely say that there is a successor.

I merely meant to say that his successor is D.A. Paterson. I wanted to create a link at a key place {SPitzer to Paterson} to show who would be the cuccessor. Dogru144 (talk) 23:55, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

UMS group

Hi Bearian, as this is the first time I am posting on wikipedia, I just wanted to try out. I am going to delete the post if that's going to solve the problem. I will post a complete article upon finishing with the article. So sorry about that.

A tag has been placed on UMS group Inc., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

help?!

Dear Barian, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to write you a message?! I've been trying to set up a page for the Clifford Chance Sculpture Award - A really significant new award for emerging artists in the UK. It was deleted - I think because it didnt have reference material - which I've tried to correct! I've really appreciate it if you could help me correct it so that i can remain on Wikipedia. Best wishes.

    • Hello - I see that you've an "under construction" tag - I'm not sure how this works - Does this mean the page needs to have more information on it? Is the page ok now? or will it be deleted again? I'm keen for it to remain - do you think you could advice me how what I need to do??? thank you I really appreciate the help.

Riana's request for bureaucratship

Dear Bearian, thank you for taking part in my RfB. As you may know, it was not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to call me out. ~ Riana ⁂ 12:40, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Featured Topic Drive

By Maxim

The original featured topic drive, initiated by Scorpion0422, has concluded succesfully. National Hockey League awards is now a featured topic, with 24 articles in total. Of them, 20 are featured lists, one is a featured article, and the other three are trophy articles that were too short to become featured lists. Eight users signed up to help out, shown here. The next Featured Topic hasn't been decided upon, and the ideas and organization for it fell apart. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share them at WT:HOCKEY.

Notes
  • More editors are needed to help out with the newsletter. The newsletter creator doesn't have an infinite nor perfect supply of ideas, and thus he might omit some interesting news.
  • Portal:Ice hockey is being considered for featured status.
  • Should Chris Pronger have been suspended for more than eight games for stomping on Ryan Kesler? Vote here!
  • Help Patrik Stefan -- one of the greatest NHL draft busts -- become a GA status article.

Re-Open/Deletion Review on Recession of 2008

Per the AfD for Recession of 2008, I noticed you are the admin who closed this AfD with no consensus. I wanted to see if this AfD could be re-opened in light of the recent economic activity in the US and elsewhere; I was regrattably unable to take part in the initial discussion and feel strongly that we should keep non-factual and speculative information out of Wikipedia, regardless of its prevalence in the mass-media. Please let me know what if anything I can do to hasten the deletion of this article or renaming of it to something that better reflects wikipedia's own writings on Recession. Thanks very much for your time and consideration. Sahrin (talk) 23:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Blocking of User:157.228.118.212

I am the same user as the above. I am sorry but I fail to see how I have violated the 3R rule. I am also amazed about the language used regarding the block. Please explain in which specific edit did you see " vandalism, POV-pushing" ? For the specific article (dab page) I am restoring an ethno-linguistic attribution which is well sourced (in it's main article) and widely accepted by the academic community; if anything else this is a mere content dispute. I have to also point out that the user who reported the alledged violation is merely involved in editing (Special:Contributions/Realtycoon). He is also the one that changed for the very first time the page [1] back in February. I know that this is somewhat a delicate issue but if anything else I strive to avoid contagious language and I try to explain my edits through the use of edit summaries (granted sometimes in a somewhat funny - bizarre way) and the use of the talk pages. Which specific edit of the above IP (and many more form my University cluster) is of concern to you? Surely by editing "anonymously" (i.e. not using an account) is not a contagious matter. Thanks --157.228.98.181 (talk) 12:39, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

It just occurred to me that I had a similar problem with User:Keilana way back in the beginning of February. S/He blocked me for vandalism but realised the mistake quite promptly (see the talk page here User_talk:157.228.99.211). Please understand that I do no blame you here, it seems to be a common mistake /problem, especially when some dubious users are misusing WP processes to advance their POV and causes. I expect though for people to be a bit more careful and examine the situation somewhat beyond the very first apperances. Thanks -- 157.228.98.181 (talk) 13:15, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Please also consider the evidence here [2] --157.228.98.181 (talk) 14:26, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I am not evading the block. I have stopped editing wikipedia’s mainspace from the moment I realised that there was an 3RR case [3]. Minutes before I thought that it was a random case of blocking an "anonymous" user (me), as I have experienced with User:Keilana and started to investigate further. There is obviously something very dubious regarding the above user. --157.228.98.181 (talk) 15:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry but pseudo-quoting wikipedia policies and guidelines won't cut it here. I am not looking for bad blood. I am looking for specific concerns for the IPs involved. Did you express your concerns for any other party involved? Where exactly (noticeboard) did you commend? --157.228.98.181 (talk) 17:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I've seen that discussion. I have seen no apology. But I am, I always was striving to be 'coolheaded' (and I have been around for some while now ...), that's what I’m trying to get across here. If it's not too much to ask, please give me two minutes of your time and check my latest revert-edit here. What do you think about it? Is it my response appropriate, do I/we need to do more? --157.228.98.181 (talk) 18:04, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I probably needed to make it clearer. I did not expect you to commend on the content but on the overall edit patterns, edit summaries etc. I’ve called it soapboxing not WP:Vandalism and also to remind you that I also referred to a content dispute in the alleged 3RR case. Anyway, I do not want you to think that I 'm trying to lure you (or anyone else for that matter) into the "dark-side" of the "Macedonia-name dispute"’s specifics and trivialities. As for the apology, thank you. Please also edit accordingly your Unblock –reason at my talk page here. This is not an ego-driven trip but since I do like to edit bearing only my IP, I would like to avoid any stigma associated with incivility, vandalism, abusing sock-puppetry and the like. --157.228.98.181 (talk) 18:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Should I perceive your silence as that you still stand behind that phrasing ("although you did engage in edit-warring and push POV in an incivil manner. Make this a lesson learned." ) then? --157.228.98.181 (talk) 20:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Nathalie Handal and User:NatHandal

Hi Baerian,

Just stopped by to explain the reason I removed your COI warning from the user page:

  • The user had already been warned for COI by User:EdJohnston after her last edit, and she had made no edit since which would call for an escalated warning.
  • The user does not seem to be a vandal, but rather someone new and unfamiliar with the wikiprocess (see her polite request for assistance). See my note here and on the user talk page.
  • The edits the user made on Nathalie Handal were unsourced and somewhat peacock-y, but definitely verifiable and IMO improved the otherwise unsourced article. That aside, all her edits had been (reasonably) reverted and the present article contains no information added by the user. Hence the tags you added to the article were not appropriate, as you can check from its history.
  • Finally, under WP:BITE, we should be welcoming towards misguided but well-meaning newbie editors. Furthermore if this editor is indeed the award winning poet and writer Nathalie Handal, she would be an assett to wikipedia (on articles other than her own biography), and we should make an effort to retain such exprets rather than drive them away.

Just my two cents on the issue. Regards. Abecedare (talk) 22:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I added the {{Notable Wikipedian}} banner to the article's Talk page. In my view this has some advantages:
  • Less conspicuous than {{COI}}, so it doesn't make the article ugly
  • It alerts readers that the subject might have contributed some of the material in the article.
Inclusion of this banner is not necessarily a criticism. Any discussion of improper editing can take place independently. EdJohnston (talk) 22:50, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Incidentally the article does not contain any of the content she contributed: here is the diff between the version before she started editing and after her last edit. But I agree that adding the {{Notable Wikipedian}} banner was a good idea, since that alerts non-COI editor that they can approach the subject on wikipedia to request for, say, sources or public domain photograph etc. Regards. Abecedare (talk) 23:19, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Joel M. Andre

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Joel M. Andre, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Admin coaching question

After visiting the RFA for User:jonny-mt, I noticed that you were his admin coach. I am looking towards pursuing adminship sometime in the near future and am wondering if you could direct me to a reliable admin coach if you yourself are not available. Any help would is appreciated. Thanks --Sharkface217 03:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll talk to other admins and I'll tell you if I find anyone. Thanks for the help. --Sharkface217 02:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Shanoman block

Is there something I missed? User seemed to stop after a warning.. I am concerned they might be a long-term pov pusher based on their contribs, so maybe the project is better off without them anyway... But I see only like three vandal edits, and all pre-warning...? --Jaysweet (talk) 20:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah, you already justified it on Shanoman's talk page. Well, alright. I don't have a problem with it (I think the Wikipedia anti-vandal policy should have more teeth anyway), I was just very surprised by the duration, as it seems out of the ordinary. I don't necessarily think it was undeserved, though... --Jaysweet (talk) 20:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

NPOV dispute

Thank you for re-reviewing the Froma Harrop page and recognizing the better cites that have been added. Please advise on how to resolve the NPOV distpute and what might be done to better the site on the grouds of neutrality. Thank You 72.65.183.25 (talk) 13:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much!

For my coach
Well, we did it; I've now got more buttons at the top of my screen than I know what to do with (I'm serious; they're kind of running off the side)! Thank you for all the help you provided--thanks to your assignments, I really felt prepared not only for my RfA but for adminship as a whole. Naturally, I anticipate surprising you with any number of extremely random questions as I get used to wielding the mop, but for the time being I just wanted to give you this manual as a sign of my appreciation. Hopefully you'll get some good use out of it with the many students yet to come :) --jonny-mt 15:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

AfD re: Neuro Linguistic Psychotherapy and Counselling Association

This is the organisation which sets the code of ethics for Psychotherapists using NLP in the UK. AJRG (talk) 17:16, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Please be clear about what you think is a non-sequitur AJRG (talk) 17:26, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Article now has secondary sources. "fringe psychotherapy" is personal bias and not NPOV.

"Organizations are usually notable if the scope of activities are national or international in scale and information can be verified by sources that are reliable and independent of the organization."

AJRG (talk) 18:22, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

This is tangential to the AfD, but might interest you. I'm sure your views of NLP are substantial and well informed, but if you haven't yet seen User:FT2/NLP you might like to drop by. It could help to achieve NPOV.

I'm grateful for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and hope that my changes have addressed your concerns.

Note

Please make sure to check the diffs of contributors before you welcome them, you just welcomed a spammer, I have reverted your change and replaced it with the appropriate warning template. Also, when welcoming, you need to use subst your templates. --Charitwo talk 18:16, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

My bad on welcoming a spammer. What is the proper code for the welcome template? Bearian (talk) 18:18, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Please keep conversations on the same page to avoid confusion, its a lot better than having to jump back and forth between talk pages. As for proper template syntax, you would place {{subst:welcome}} --~~~~. --Charitwo talk 18:40, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Could you do something about the article Hedvig Malina? Two editors hijacked it and claim obvious ownership: Hobartimus (talk · contribs) and Squash Racket (talk · contribs)? Thanks.--Svetovid (talk) 22:54, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, could you please add your two cents back at WP:AN? There's also a mess of a discussion on my talk page. Frankly, a part of me wants to just block him for these comments showing a complete disregard for working with others (just a long history of complete incivility for that article), but I'd like another opinion along with leaving my final "final warning" as it is. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your message and taking the time to ensure a high standard of quality on wikipedia. I posted an explanation of my changes to the talk page and await your comments on whether or not they are justified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.225.245.110 (talk) 17:30, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

Dyckman House Museum

Hey, I know you weren't the creator but you edited it recently. Just giving you the heads up that I re-directed it to the already existing and far more comprehensive Dyckman House. I left DHM as a re-direct since it's a plausible search term but it didn't offer anything that the latter didn't already have. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 03:37, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the AAAA thing...is it okay if I put it as a subpage to WP:) or my own userpage? --Drahcir my talk 23:45, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
