Does not meet WP:PROF

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RadioFan (talk) 12:21, 15 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

I can't afford to get tangled up responding to this sort of wilfully aggravating time-wasting enthusiasm-sapping predation as I'm busy with other articles elsewhere and my reservoirs of Wikipedia patience are very low, but ETP is a lucid and competent historian, cited in contemporary histories of Egypt. Apart from her published books she's written a beautiful paper on slavery and colonialism in Egypt that's very relevant to contemporary issues bedeviling Sudan and relations between its Arab and African communities - most notably in Darfur and Southern Sudan. http://www.sss.ias.edu/files/papers/paper13.pdf Why do people have to waste other people's time on this sort of exercise when there's so much more important stuff to be done? It's the psychopathological side of Wikipedia. Opbeith (talk) 08:11, 17 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

A bit more from U. of Georgia re MacArthur award. http://www.uga.edu/columns/031013/news1.html including endorsement from E. Larson 1998 Pulitzer Prize for History. Excuse me keeping at arm's length from the discussion, I don't want to be pointlessly wound up by someone like RadioFan again. Opbeith (talk) 15:40, 17 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

No use quoting this - http://www.aucegypt.edu/newsevents/publications/Documents/03-04.pdf - the fact that she's sufficiently respected for a full page right at the beginning of the AUC fund-raising brochure will certainly not count for anything. Notability means whatever Procrustean bed the deletionists choose to apply. Opbeith (talk) 15:50, 17 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks - you're saving my blood pressure from popping! She's an expert on Darfur - literally, she's one of the University of Pennsylvania's two nominated experts available for consultation on the Darfur Conflict - and having done a bit of campaigning on Darfur I reckon she's earned her Wikipedia keep. http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/sourcesheet.php?id=246 If you're interested she's also done a great interview about her work at Afropop Worldwide, but for certain that won't cut any ice with the lords and masters.

The only duels I'm any good at are the ones between my head and the wall. Thanks for reminding me of the Surgeon of Crowthorne - I enjoyed reading Simon Winchester's book. It's not a happy ending. Opbeith (talk) 17:48, 17 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately so. I expect it in the Bosnian articles because the subject matter itself is the subject of conflict and a lot hangs on the version of "the truth" (verifiable or whatever) that prevails, but it's disappointing to find that the same situation holds in areas where cooperation should be the norm. However someties things work that way, even with an occasional hiccough - for example the time Antonin and I joined forces before bumping into one another over Chris Agee. He was very tolerant of such a difficult collaborator! Opbeith (talk) 22:19, 17 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for that link to the Spiegel article. A useful overview of basic issues. In the end I think the problem boils down to a mix of personalities and issues of substance. As far as Bosnian articles are concerned, the factual issues are live political issues, so dissent, not just malevolent dissent but legitimate disagreement, is to be expected. What's so infuriating is when other less inherently contentious articles are disrupted and the dispute is essentially due to an unwillingness to understand, appreciate and work with other people - particularly when some people are falling over backward to make good the deficiencies that other people can identify but can't bring themsleves to work on.

One thing that I might suggest is splitting up the foreign members and the English "Fellow" members. the pages seem long, and the Foreign members could be split into another article.

A tag has been placed on Mark Kobayashi-Hillary, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Mark Kobayashi-Hillary and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable.

This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

Hi Pohick2. Developments on this article. I have edited the lastest additions (links/citations needed etc) but I would like you to cast an eye over it and revise my revisions if necessary. The text you see now, I know was added by Mary O'Malley's literary agent, and you can see her original additions as well of course. She has removed the info and links to the 'women writers' retreat and to Mary's brother Tony, which to me seemed reasonable and pertinent, and which you might want to re-insert, but I have info to more than suspect it has something to do with a personal vested interest in what is presented. Although what has been written by the agent appears from a disinterested point of view, removal of uncontentious text because it might not suit the particular face that the subject wishes to present might not be Wikipedia kosher I suspect. In itself there appears not much wrong but it might be wise to keep an eye on the article as the latest major editor might be under the mistaken belief that a Wikipedia article is 'owned' and is an extension of publicity. As Pat Gallacher has edited the article too, I have also asked him/her to cast an eye over it as well. Many thanks,

• Hi one more time-

I have looked at your new screen and added my twopennyworth. I chaged "pre-eminent" to "notable" which is more flexible and allows well-known if not eminent names to be used. I have also, on the Fellows list, replaced some of the more obscure names by British icons and heroes to "popularise" the list. I see it as the taster before the main course so to speak. I may add more as they come to mind.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 23:12, 15 June 2010 (UTC) Reply

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Xaver Fuhr, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.franz-xaver-fuhr.com. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 01:10, 26 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Xaver Fuhr, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.franz-xaver-fuhr.com/, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Xaver Fuhr saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Acather96 (talk) 06:55, 26 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Excuse me. but is there a reason why in January you created Marie Alphonse Bedeau and in February you created Marie-Alphonse Bedeau? SamuelTheGhost (talk) 19:54, 30 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

WP:C is most definitely not image oriented. The very first words of the policy are "The text of Wikipedia is copyrighted...." The next section begins, "If you contribute text directly to Wikipedia...." The section from which I quoted above says, "If you want to import media (including text) that you have found elsewhere...."

As to your other questions, see User talk:Pohick2/Archive/#Copyright concerns and subsequent sections. Specifically, see:

The material under discussion today? Again, you did not quote it; you just copied it. Telling you the rules hasn't really seemed to make much of a difference. I have attempted to assist you and offered you additional assistance several times in the past. Instead, you continued with the same pattern you have had since 2008: pasting stuff onto Wikipedia that you find elsewhere on the internet without regard for policy.

The only real question left here is whether you are willing and able to stop pasting stuff onto Wikipedia. If you are not, there's not much point in discussing what constitutes extensive, as you are not likely to be unblocked. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:56, 4 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
