DYK for Shrikethrush

HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:03, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Casliber, for adding me to the DYK. But, I did nothing but add a table. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:46, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The table looked great - as far as some acknowledgement - I am all for more inclusive, looser criteria for acknowledging all who help articles at DYK, GAN and FAC - all this encourages collaborative editing...which is what this place is all about. Together we made it look better - 'nuff said ;) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:03, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Cas Liber. Well, okay. I still do not think I was very helpful. How about this: give me more to turn into tables. Then I will feel that it all balances out. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:47, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A deal....(sound of wikipages being ruffled)...............let's see.........hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:00, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sulidae (gannets and boobies) has ten living species...and all have photos. A nice table could go about 2/3rds of the way down the article, Spoonbill is another, and all five species of Frigatebird have images. however, they are all too hefty for DYK. Will find one to expand....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:17, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, Cas Liber. I'm working on it. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:51, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Cas Liber. All done: User:Anna Frodesiak/Violet sandbox. Please feel free to place them where you wish. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:52, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
They all look great - thanks! Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:29, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BJD Article

I am one of THE US experts. I did word it all to promote myself initially but only because as usual the article promotes everyone but the American artists in this. Why is that? I'm happy to answer questions if you want to edit it your way - but with the whole truth and the real picture. I actually do this. I am the Comic-con panel artist expert. I am an award winning American BJD artist very successful for 4 years. I don't need to promote myself. I just can not stand when an article claims to know everything and actually leaves out the US contingent. Why is that happening here?

Most of the article was a blatant ad for non US BJD companies and artists. Edit all that before you decide to exclude an American artist/manufacturer who knows more about the actual process than you could dream having read, researched or learned otherwise because I DO this. I am a US citizen and there are others. Why are we always so blatantly ignored in these articles?

Hi, Bo Bergemann. You are a wealth of information and Wikipedia needs you. Start a thread at Talk:Ball-jointed doll to discuss what you want to change about the article.
But, you cannot just keep adding promotional content to that article. Please, help improve the article without adding your website or anything about your own business.
Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:45, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did go add to your thread in the forum as you asked. But this article has blatantly violated pillar number two since publication and it should be blocked not me for speaking up about it now. It completely ignores the US, French, Russian and Australian artists and companies that are clear notable leaders in this industry now. Why? I know why. The book it relies so heavily on and the forum behind that has been prejudiced against US companies forever. But they are not posing as an encyclopedia with a green pillar #2 - non-biased ideal. Wikipedia is so it never should have published the parts of this article which so blatantly include only Asian companies and artists in the first place without more research. Go to one BJD convention here in the US and you will see us represented from the US, France, Russia and Australia to name a few. Several from the US. We are a vibrant crowd and yet totally ignored in this Wikipedia article. That is what's wrong with the article.

Good job. Let's see what others say at the article talk page. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:57, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Editor whose draft you rejected

[1] - did you notice this is a 6th grader? He gives his name on his userpage. Dougweller (talk) 16:28, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think Anna is recruiting 6th graders as editors, so her talk page is far from the ideal place to enquire. (Though actually, thank you as it provides an opportunity to give a link there to some advice aimed at that age group.) The preferred route if there are privacy versus age concerns, is via email to WP:RFO. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 19:47, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was hoping Anna would know what to do - thanks for that, I didn't know about it. Dougweller (talk) 20:15, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Dougweller. I did notice. I have no idea why I didn't post with Demiurge1000's link. I have no excuse. I am sorry, and will be sure to do it next time. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:55, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We're teammates right? I went ahead and contacted an oversighter and it appears that Allie took care of it for us :) BTW Anna you've got mail =) Dusti*Let's talk!* 02:03, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Dusti. Much appreciated. Oh, and my latest email account is getting blocked 90% of time time. It may be back, who knows? I am fast running out of email providers. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:26, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh noe! I just sent it to your gmail - I'm guessing that's blocked then :/ I didn't try emailing through here. Dusti*Let's talk!* 02:29, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Anna, no need to apologise. I didn't do it either! And didn't even think of Oversight. Dougweller (talk) 08:11, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Anna Frodesiak. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Eve Branson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Barnet. 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.

Should I request for adminship

Hello,I am a wikipedia editor.Can you please tell me that should i request foe adminship,if not are there any criterion like amount of bytes edited,etc.Your effort will be appreciated.Themessengerofknowledge (talk) 13:10, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Themessengerofknowledge. It is best for you to have at least a few years and a few thousand mainspace edits before you try. You should check your posts for spelling mistakes, and of course, place your posts at the bottom of talk pages. You should always use spaces around punctuation:
Instead of this:
  • I like bunnies(rabbits).They are not only cute,but friendly too.
Try this:
  • I like bunnies (rabbits). They are not only cute, but friendly too.
Also, you should read the following:
Best wishes. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:26, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll agree with everything Anna said above, although the minimum of "a few years" can be given a bit of leeway in some cases. If you've demonstrated strong editing habits and an overall suitability for adminship, you could conceivably pass within a year of active editing. It's not as common as it used to be, but it's certainly possible. Kurtis (talk) 12:50, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your welcome template

I do like your Welcome template, I think it ought to be moved into template space and advertised in Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome templates. I have used {{welcome2}} for years, and I think it is time for a change to a more visual form, yours if the first I have seen that fits the bill. -- PBS (talk) 14:19, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, PBS. You are welcome to copy paste it anywhere you like. If you move it, it will drag a lot of history with it. Best wishes, my friend. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:25, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. What do you think would be a suitable name? -- PBS (talk) 14:46, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, PBS. Hmmmm, it gets substituted, so newcomers never see the actual template name, right? And, it would be nice to see it alpha-sort near the top of the category, so how about {{Welcomorama}}, {{Welcomeveryone}}, {{Welcome Annastyle}}, {{Welcome and stay}}, {{Welcome on in}}, {{Welcome with spinning icon}}, {{Welcome and INSERT CATCHY WORD(S) HERE}}. Sorry, I'm half asleep, so not being very creative at the moment. Feel free to go with something not so odd. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:35, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have gone with {{Welcome with spinning icon}} as it is descriptive, I have tacked on some brief documentation and added a line to Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome templates. -- PBS (talk) 12:07, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Good name! It's a dandy. :) You do know, of course, that I pinched most of it from somewhere else? :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:22, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You did not pinch it you redistributed and then mercilessly edited it See 5   The five pillars of Wikipedia -- PBS (talk) 13:58, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hairaaz band

Dear Anna There was an article on hairaaz band. Why did u delete it. Hairaaz is a registered fuison band it performs live. Soon They are releasing their debut album. Please restore the page Thanks Regards Atinder sidhu

Hi Atinder sidhu! Anna is not here right now, but maybe WP:NMUSIC would help? Soon after Hairaaz release their second album on a recognised significant label then Wikipedia might need an article on them. You could start collecting independent reliable sources about them though, to be ready! --Demiurge1000 (talk) 18:36, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, User:Hairaaz. I Bing.com searched it (Google is unavailable here) and found nothing. I deleted it per User:Sam Sailor's speedy deletion tag WP:A7 and WP:G11. The G7 part meaning promotion. You added your phone numbers (digits changed to 0 by me) so people could contact you to book your band: "Contact:+00000000000(Ginni),+000000000000(Sunny)" and then redirect the article to www.facebook.com/Hairaaz which mystified me. Are you at all interested in helping build the encyclopedia without adding content related to you band? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:34, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
You could have blocked Armaan.haider from editing; however, you went out of your way to give them a second chance and judging from what I see here it's been a success thus far. Should you need assistance, the offer is always there. Thank you, —MelbourneStartalk 06:58, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you kindly! :) Let's hope all goes well. I could use another pair of eyes on the contribs and frequented articles, though. And if you are actually a spider in real life (which would explain why you spend so much time on the web), then two pairs of eyes would be great. Keep the other pair for foolish but delicious flies and girl spiders who may try to eat at the end of your first date. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:07, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Haha very good analogy you've spun there!
Also, just an idea – WP:ADOPT may be a positive avenue for the user down the track. A few years ago, Worm adopted me and I found the adoption course really useful. Taught me all I know now, and then some. This lists those actively adopting.
^Just a thought. Otherwise, I've watchlisted all the articles frequented by Armaan, and I shall keep a look out. Regards, —MelbourneStartalk 07:24, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And a nice pun you spun!
WP:ADOPT, eh? Hmmmmm, I know little about that. You could adopt him?
Thanks for keeping a look out. We'll see how it turns out. I'm never too hopeful with individual accounts. A small percentage pay dividends, but those do, give back many, many hours. The strategy as a whole is easily a net plus. Kindness pays. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:03, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Anna, thanks for sticking up for at ANI. It was indeed a comedy of errors. The IP had originally reverted me here, restoring Sgt Stone Cold's vandalism, so I had assumed theb IP was SSC. Then when I checked his contributions and saw that he had edited the Osama page, I assumed it was SSC again, and misread the diff, twice. By the time I realized my mistake, the IP had already reverted again. Then Seahorse left a rather demanding note on my page, so I chose to ignore it and go to bed. Thanks again for defending me. - BilCat (talk) 12:17, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, BilCat. No thanks needed. Yes, that was a strange one. And the last joke in this comedy of errors is on us. It seems that the IP is Sargeant Stone Cold who is also JakeTheDinorsour. Ha ha ha ha. Dear, oh dear. :) User:Seahorseruler and User:Philg88 may find this funny.
Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:34, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not surprised. My spidey sense was tingling on that IP the whole time. Oh well, kindness is its own reward, so I don't regret apologizing to the IP. - BilCat (talk) 23:48, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We all make mistakes - none of us are perfect. Thank you for resolving this Anna, you were very honest and helpful. -Seahorseruler (Talk Page) (Contribs) 01:09, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Small question

Hi Anna Frodesiak,

Korean Wikipedia has been suffering from LTA named Unypoly (with +200 socks). While investigating Unypoly's socks crosswiki activity, I found a SPI about his sock (all blocked here, see archive), and I recently found Unypoly's sock creating an article here. Is it eligible for CSD G5? Thanks,  Revi 13:16, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Meh, they're not blocked, just locked.  Revi 13:19, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, -revi. Locked? I'm not sure what that means. If you give me a link to the article or a noping to the editor, I can check it out. I see at the SPI here at English Wikipedia, that the last activity was 2013. If we're not sure it's the same person, but the Modus operandi is the same, we can still block per WP:EVASION. I say that because the SPI shows grouping, suggesting meatpuppetry. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:22, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, (Apparently Ping to User talk didn't work)
User in question is "놋쇠리아", and Locked means "User CANNOT LOGIN on ANY wikimedia sites", see m:Global lock. Also, accounts' activity on kowiki and meta SRCU evidence also support that user behind these accounts are one man - unypoly.  Revi 11:28, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, -revi. Sorry about the talk ping. Bad copy paste.
Locked = cannot login anywhere. Understood. The "just" locked threw me. :)
Yes, if we are sure it is him, we can delete per G5. You say it is him, but why is he's not listed at the SPI here at English Wikipedia, nor blocked at kowiki? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:50, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I already blocked him on kowiki (CA), but we don't put templates on talkpages, rather put templates on userpage. I am not sure whether I should file a SPI on main account or already existing sock. :P  Revi 22:46, 25 November 2014 (UTC) (amend  Revi 04:47, 26 November 2014 (UTC))[reply]
Hi, -revi. Sorry to take 3 days considering what to do here. I am always cautious about deleting viable articles. I did just delete it. His socks at the SPI show the same subject, so G5 is the appropriate criterion. I blocked him and will file the case at the SPI for the record. It has been quiet (as far as we know) since 2013, so WP:DENY was a consideration. Again, sorry to take so long. He only made that one article and no other edits, so I didn't hurry. And it was my mistake for not checking his kowiki userpage. Templates for confirmed socks are placed at userpages here too (and suspected sock templates often at talk when suspected). I get a strikethrough-italics display here at enwp for blocked users. His username at kowiki had none when I went to his talk page (where I saw no template), so I figured he was not blocked. Thanks for your patience. If you see other cases here at enwp, please tell me and I will act very quickly next time. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:31, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I'm never in a hurry ;)  Revi 22:53, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, can I get the lastest revision (before the deletion) of the blocked user's new article? I'll create same article as it's opening soon... but just wanted to know how he wrote it. :p  Revi 23:31, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, -revi. :) Here you go: User:Anna Frodesiak/Brown sandbox. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:59, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For the article about Prof Lin Xiang Xiong

Dear Anna,

For the article i post on Wiki is not "stealing"from other websites!! My boss(Mr. Lin Xiang Xiong) written the whole article and sent to the China Artists Association, my boss own the rights.

Mavis He Chang (talk) 09:08, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mavis He Chang. I believe you. However, the text is at a copyrighted website. So, in order for that text to be copied to Wikipedia, please ask your boss to place a notice at the bottom of the source website with the appropriate Creative Commons license that says the content can be used commercial by anyone. Then, you can paste it to Wikipedia with the correct attribution template. Thank you for your understanding. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:14, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Anne,
Actually we have an another edition profile for Mr. Lin Xiang Xiong, the content is almost the same, but add few more sentences to describe more about Artist Lin. May i post that edition instead of this one?
Mavis He Chang (talk) 09:24, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Mavis He Chang,
If it was first at a website that has a Creative Commons license at the bottom, then yes. If it is not at a website, but the text is almost the same as at http://www.bjbiennale.com.cn/en/team.aspx, then no, because that would violate WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASING, which is a form of copyright violation. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:32, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a personal friend of the author and am doing this as a favor, although it's turning out to be unnecessarily complicated. I find it odd that a picture of him from his personal website won't be approved when corrections to information will be accepted by anyone without proper verification, regardless of how erroneous. For instance, your website had his birthday incorrectly listed as December 12th, when it's actually November 12th. I'm just trying to tie up some loose ends, and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

PD Canada

Hi Anna, I just created Last Post Fund, and saw they have a boat load of old pictures at their site, would all those be PD because they are really old, like 1910s old? I am not much up on image copyright, also I don't really have access to commons right now to upload them (hind hint).--kelapstick(bainuu) 23:33, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

kelapstick! Long time! :) :) :) Do you know when the photographer died? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:02, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The site does not name the photographers, so that would be hard to determine without contacting the Last Post Fund and asking. Re Canada PD-50, the photographer would have had to die by 1964; it's quite probable most of those photographers did by then, but it's also possible some were still alive. The Last Post Fund or the Royal Canadian Legion may hold the copyright on some and that should be asked; they may have already released them into the public domain, as is the case with the holdings of the National Archives and various archives such as that of the City of Vancouver and the Vancouver Public Library and others. The further wiki-reality is that there have been some disputes about the Canadian copyright-expiry limit vs the US 100-years-since-the-death-of-the-photographer which prevails in Wikipedia because of its servers being in the United States. If these were never published in the US, I think that may be the exception "rule" for PD 50, I'm not sure.Skookum1 (talk) 03:00, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There are editors on WP:CANTALK who are more familiar with this matter and may be able to advise.Skookum1 (talk) 03:01, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Skookum1, point 6 says where the creator is unknown, the work was published before 1964 or (if not published) created before 1939. The ones I would want to use are the 1910 photos, as they have more historical significance (not that the others don't but the 1910 ones are of the inaugural ceremony). I will post it on CANTALK however--kelapstick(bainuu) 12:12, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Grey Nuns Motherhouse, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Neoclassical. 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.

Hi, Cas Liber. All done at User:Anna Frodesiak/Violet sandbox. Falkland skua is duplicated because of the redirects. I'll let you handle that as you see fit. Feel free to give me more. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:11, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe also pictures of the Sea Skua missile, which was very useful in liberating the Falkland Islands mentioned? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 01:02, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
