White Cat (book)

I'm having trouble understanding your speedy deletion request for White Cat (book). There is a speedy request on the same editor's Red Glove (book) as a possible copyvio. However, your nom is for "a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content". Wrong category, perhaps? - SummerPhD (talk) 16:58, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

I've taken the liberty of changing this to a g12, as it is an apparent copyvio. If this is not what you intended, feel free to revert. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 17:03, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Phew! That's some impressive WP:OVERTAGGING, but you didn't add any notes to the talk page to describe what you have concerns about and User talk:Wytrzeszcz1 (the article creator) is still a red link. Talking to the article creator and making notes on the talk page might get better results than leaving umpteen tags. Fences&Windows 10:31, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Mediation cabal

In connection with the mediation, do the additional sources I have cited justify a reversion? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robert_Zoellick&action=historysubmit&diff=439205483&oldid=439152551Currency1 (talk) 10:40, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

If the sources you had added in revision 439152551 are what you meen, then yes. At least two of these are government sources. I think this is enough to justify a reversion. If you do go ahead with a reversion. Please be aware that users have made edits un-related to this mediation since yor edit and it should be ensured that these are not removed. I hope this has settled the debate. If you and Demiurge1000 are happy with this could I ask that you both let me know on my talk page so that I can close the mediation. If you are not happy then also let me know and I'll see what I can do. Oddbodz (talk) 11:34, 29 July 2011 (UTC)


If both users agree, please put your signature (4 tildes) in the list below.


If you do not agree, please give your reasons below.

Demiurge, having agreed to mediation, apparently has no justification for his reverts of my edits.Currency1 (talk) 10:55, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

As noted above, User:Currency1 does not agree.

I do not agree either;:I disagree with the proposed resolution, for the following reasons;

  1. User:Currency1 was advised by uninvolved editor User:DGG as follows; "If you are actively engaged in a controversy involving the subject of the article, you must not edit the article itself; it would be an out-and-and violation of WP:COI. As you describe your situation, almost nobody in such a situation would be able to write objectively. The only way to keep yourself safe from being blocked for COI is to avoid the subject entirely, or..." (in this archive.) It is clear (and undisputed) that User:Currency1 is indeed actively engaged in a controversy involving the subject of the article.
  2. User:Currency1 stated in the same archive (linked above) that "I have been commenting about Robert Zoellick's lawlessness at the World Bank in the media". Being involved in a media campaign against a living person, is a clearly justifiable reason for not being involved in editing the biography of that living person on Wikipedia. WP:NPOV would be impossible.
  3. User:Currency1 was advised by uninvolved editor User:Off2riorob as follows; "we report on what secondary sources have asserted is notable and have as such independently reported on. Your desired addition above and its external support falls well outside of that remit". (Again, at the same link given above).
  4. Material being a "government source" does not make it a reliable independent source for Wikipedia. Government sources may report and state all manner of things, but Wikipedia has a policy of adhering to the best possible sources on WP:BLP articles, which at the least would mean a third party source such as the New York Times or similar. Thus far, no evidence has been given to indicate that reliable third party sources consider the facts in question to be relevant to Zoellick's life or career.
  5. This edit, expresses User:Currency1's viewpoint that the two facts that she wishes to add to the biography, "indict Robert Zoellick's Presidency at the World Bank." That is a very strong statement to make, or to attempt to make through adding a chosen combination of facts - it is really not acceptable to use a Wikipedia article to express Currency1's viewpoint in this way.

I do have more concerns, but I think that will do as an initial summary. Oddbodz1, I'm sorry to saddle you with these difficult issues, but I'm sure that you will be able to help us come up with a reasonable compromise, reached through mediation. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:30, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Before submitting this to the new Dispute Resolution section I wanted to get your comments: Dispute overview Can you give us a quick explanation of what is going on? What is the issue you are bringing here? Demiurge1000 reverted edits. Mediator from Mediation Cabal agreed that independent reliable sources justified reversion. Demiurge disagreed with mediator and mediator was removed from serving as mediator for Mediation Cabal. Users involved Who is involved in the dispute? Currency1 (talk · contribs) Demiurge1000 (talk · contribs) Oddbodz (talk · contribs) Have you informed all the editors mentioned above that you have posted this dispute? (If not, once you have informed them come back and replace the text "Not yet" with "Yes".) Not yet. N.B. To inform the other users you may place the text Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is "Zoellick Bio". Thank you. --Currency1 (talk) 13:10, 11 September 2011 (UTC) on each user's talk page. Resolving the dispute Have you tried to resolve this dispute already? If so, what steps have you taken? Both users agreed to submit our dispute concerning content on Zoellick bio to Mediation Cabal. Mediation Cabal's mediator was removed from Mediation Cabal after having given a reasoned decision and the issue remains unresolved. How do you think we can help? either revert the edits, or determine that the independent reliable sources are not independent reliable sources. Currency1 (talk) 13:03, 11 September 2011 (UTC) Zoellick Bio discussion Discussion about the issues listed above take place here. Remember to keep discussions calm, brief, and focused on the issues at hand.Currency1 (talk) 13:10, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Could you tell us why you are no longer part of Mediation Cabal?

Incidentally, I don't know if Oddbodz was removed from the Mediation Cabal, as you suggest, or simply left it. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 14:17, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll put this discussion on Oddbodz' talk page and ask for corrections before submitting the discussion to Dispute Resolution.Currency1 (talk) 17:10, 11 September 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Currency1 (talk • contribs)

I had only just joined the Cabal when I started with your case. I took yours an another case up to try out the post. Turns out it was a lot harder than I first predicted and with school, I really don't have the time for it. I therefore decided to leave of my own accord. I am sorry for and problems this may have caused but as you may know, the cabal is not official authorised by Wikipedia and there are many official policy pages which state that your must put school before Wikipedia. I have therefore chosen to take part it activities such as Vandalism removal which will help Wikipedia as a whole it the little time I have to edit the site. Once again, I am sorry for the inconvenience. Oddbodz (talk) 19:38, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

It looks like Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2011-07-18/Calvary Chapel just got closed as "stale". The issue remains unresolved — see article talk page. Can it be reinstated? Mojoworker (talk) 23:03, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I'm no longer part of the mediation Cabal. It looks like another mediator has joined the mediation. It may be worth seeing what he can do. Sorry about this. Oddbodz (talk) 14:54, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your efforts in resolving the Zoellick bio censorship, and for taking the position that might does not make right. Do you know who replaced you as mediator? If so, could you ask them to let me know? I was not aware that the issue needed to be reinstated because it is certainly not stale, but so relevant that we are on the brink of a currency war.Currency1 (talk) 08:10, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Oddbodz. Please remember that old discussions should be archived rather than deleted. In the case of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Barnstar Awarding, there's no need to even do any of that given that there's a total of 10 lines of discussion. You're also placing yourself in an odd position by blanking criticism of your pet project. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 21:34, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

It's not as bad but to be honest, I don't think I'll ever be happy with something called WikiProject Barnstar Awarding since it's contrary to my ideas about the point of WikiProjects and Barsnstars. Pichpich (talk) 22:02, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I've restored the anonymous editor's version in preference to your last revert, as I think it is genuinely a better version of the original painting. Hope you can agree on reconsideration. Regards. Tim riley (talk) 21:10, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the reason for my revert was that the start of the file name was completely diffrent and because I was using Huggle (therefore only seeing the file name) I assumed it was vandalism. I should have checked the article but what with ClueBot NG being down and only about 2 editors being on Huggle at the time, I was rushing through to get rid of all the vandalism. Thanks for letting me know about this, Oddbodz (talk) 22:06, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your reports. I have semi-protected this page for 7 days to allow things to calm down. TerriersFan (talk) 00:06, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Your vandalism

I spend quite a bit of time doing a page which is along the lines of any other of the thousands of pages about films (a number of which I have done in the past) in the wikipedia and you without any explanation just delete it, so no chance to appeal against your mindless vandalism. But you are a standard moderator here because you people are the greatest enemy the wikipedia has because generally none of you have much of a clue so often ruin the work of well meaning contributors.(Cyberia3 (talk) 19:57, 4 December 2011 (UTC))

First of all, I was not the one who deleted the article. I tagged it for deletion but it was deleted by Fastily who is an admin (Admins make the final desision to delete articles). If you have a problem with the deletion I sugest you contact him. Secondly, I do not check every article and if I found another article like yours I would give it the same tretment. Finaly, when articles are tagged for CSD you are sent a message and before it is deleted, you have the chance to appeal. If you didn't take this chance then that is your problem, not mine. Thanks for letting me know how you feel about the deletion of the article. Is sugest you contact Fastily if you wish to apeal the deletion and see if he will restore it - as I am not an admin there is nothing I can do. Regards, Oddbodz (talk) 20:47, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
I did the article in the evening and when I looked next morning, it had gone. It was the same as any other film page I have done so I don't know why it should have been deleted? With so any articles added each day I doubt that Fastily checks and just relies on you mods knowing what you are doing. Which many don't. I often see signs complaining about a lack of references on articles when even a little child can see that the articles are based on films or TV and that the information was gained simply by watching them. You might wish to get a spellcheck to cover for your misspelling. Firefox has one.(Cyberia3 (talk) 07:34, 5 December 2011 (UTC)}
Just a note that "before it is deleted, you have the chance to appeal" is not correct. Otherwise, the recommendation to contact Fastily about the deletion seems sensible. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 19:01, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
I probably didn't explain that bit very clearly. On the CSD template, there is a button which you can click to leave a message on the talk page of the article which the deleting admin should probably read. Again, that was probably my fault for not explaining myself properly. Oddbodz (talk) 21:54, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Oddbodz, what were you doing here? Look through the edit history, and look at what the editor was trying to do--and you come in and without any explanation whatsoever you undo her work.

I urge you a. to be MUCH more careful and b. to go back to the lady and apologize for having reverted her.

2006 Norwegian Football Cup

Hi there. Yesterday you edited 2006 Norwegian Football Cup, and I'm not defending the previous state of the article, but your edit removed one of two "references" in that article. Even though that was not a right way to put a reference, I would rather fix the reference then completely remove it. I have found a better place for that reference in the article, but next time the url with vital info that you remove will disappear in the article-history where noone will come look for it :) Have a good night.

Ooops, sorry about that. Thanks for letting me know - I'll be more careful next time. Oddbodz (talk) 16:41, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
No worries :) Mentoz86 (talk) 21:32, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

User:Thearccaterham

Thanks for the report, but that sort of promotional editing isn't really vandalism, unless persisted in after warnings. The place to report a username like that which is an obvious role account is WP:UAA. That sort of fairly innocent one gets a not-too-WP:BITEy block notice {{softerblock}}, though I usually add to it links to WP:SPAM and WP:SOAP. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 12:36, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Tyrida

I fail to see how WP:CSD A1 applies to Tyrida in any way. I wrote a note on the talk page. Would you please kindly explain the reasoning behind this? Thanks --Codrin.B (talk) 21:19, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Virgin A330 incident LGW

Please review the criteria for inclusion of an accident / incident on an airport or airline page (I gave the links in my edit summary). It states (here) that:

Accidents or incidents should only be included if:

  • The event was fatal to either aircraft occupants or persons on the ground;
  • The event involved hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft or airport;
  • The event resulted in changes to procedures, regulations or processes affecting airports, airlines or the aircraft industry.

I'm sure you will agree there are no indications whatsoever that this incident fulfils any of the above criteria. If you consider that it does, please start a discussion on the article talk page before reverting again. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 13:58, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

That is the criteria for the accident to have its own article. However, crashes that do not meet this criteria can still be included on the airport/airlines article. This incident has been mentioned on BBC News and should therefore be included in the airport's article. Oddbodz (talk) 14:04, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Incorrect, that is the criteria for inclusion on an airport or airline article. Read WP:AIRPORTS - page content. Please read the criteria they were developed for a reason. Wikipedia is not a news service. SempreVolando (talk) 14:07, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Ooops, missed that one! Thanks for letting me know Oddbodz (talk) 14:16, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Lilo (Lilo and Stitch).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

  • I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have questions, please post them here.
  • I will automatically remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.

Needing Wiki contribution assistance!

Greetings Oddbodz,

I am looking for an experienced Wikipedian to contribute an article for our band Mr. Meeble. I have checked and we meet the Wikipedia "notability" guidelines for a band. We have a very basic Wikipedia article written already, but I know that someone like yourself may be able to point out our formatting errors and critical omissions. You can hear our music and see our videos here:

Let me know if you would be willing to help!

Regards,
Devin
