Hi AMPO, (I don't know if you have a preferred nick, but I'll try the acronym to start) - Welcome to WP:SCUBA. I can see from your contributions you're not new here, so I thought I'd see if you're interested in improving some scuba-related articles. A small group of us are just polishing Oxygen toxicity for a GA bid and you'd be welcome to join in if you have the time. Otherwise, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page anytime you want to collaborate on scuba work. Cheers -- RexxS ( talk) 18:36, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed today that you were doing newpages patrolling but are not marking some of the pages you visit as patrolled. Though this is not mandatory in any way, and should not be done for all newpages, where appropriate it keeps your fellow patrollers from wasting time reviewing the same page multiple times. In any event, keep up the good work! Thanks. Non-dropframe ( talk) 17:02, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

please is there anyway at all that this page could be kept?
i dont have a social networking site to put it on, and wikipedia is the best site for information. i really want this to be on here so it can be remembered when i give up football/soccer. So please please can i keep this page it would mean the world to me.

Please see the beginning stub of an article for my idea of format. Please note that this text originates from current Wikipedia articles. There is NO RANT going on. I intend to be professional in compiling information and not simply ranting against Republicans. There have been plenty of political scandals throughout history, and the Democrats have had their share through the years (see Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, John F. Kennedy, etc.) Perhaps it is only fact that the republicans have been in power that they have had more scandals, IDK, but they certainly have had more than their share over the last 8-10 years).
Please consider removing the deletion, thanks

I don't think it's disparagement to say that there is debate as to whether or not a region should be treated as a separate political/demographic/social entity from a state. I PRODDED as it looks like a POV fork. I mean surely anything that needs to be said could be said in Utah. However, it might be best to see what develops. Are there separatists in Northern Utah yearning for freedom? Don't know. We can always delete if the thing disappoints. But I'd hold off on another speedy tag till the thing becomes more clearly nonsense/brilliant prose. Cheers, 15:21, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi there! I've been going through the New Pages log, particularly the back end of it. I've come across an article ( San jose jr. sharks) that you've added a tag to that hasn't been patrolled. I was wondering if you could make sure that you mark an article as patrolled before you tag it as then it won't show up on the list, which will save people patrolling an article that has already been looked at by an experienced editor like yourself.
Please accept my apologies if you are doing this and the software is lagging behind, or if you're just tagging articles that you're coming across from a different source that doesn't allow you to patrol them. Thanks in advance! -- Ged UK ( talk) 08:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi,
I understand that having employees of a nonprofit organization enter information about that organization may be considered a "conflict of interest." However, we have gone to great lengths to make all of the page language neutral and to provide secondary resources. None of the claims that we are making are likely to be challenged and if they were, they would hold up to further scrutiny.
I am going to remove your warnings. Please write here or on the Humane Research Council talk page if you feel these changes have been made in error.

Hi
You tagged
Silly Boy (Rihanna/Lady Gaga song) for speedy deletion as a
WP:CSD#A9. Can I ask you to review the speedy deletion criteria?
WP:CSD#A9 requires that there is no assertion of significance, and that we have no article on the artist. Quite obviously, we have articles on
Rihanna and
Lady Gaga, and a song by either one of them is an assertion of significance anyway.
Kind regards,

I notice that the 'Dodgy Dev' page that I made has been deleted, despite me giving perfectly good reasons as to why this should not be done. The bride of Dodgy Dev has said herself that she is heartbroken after hearing that Dev does not have a page on Wikipedia. Dev himself was rather tearful.

A More Perfect Union,
Thank you for your welcome. While I have read most of the links you sent me I have yet to find answers as to why my article was deleted. I do not meet any of the requirements for speedy deletion and the article was patterned after tripadvisor which has more internal sources than external yet still remains while all my sources were 3rd party reliable and verifiable sources. Please tell me how that article has been allowed to remain while mine was not. I can give more examples if you require. No one but you has taken the time to do anything but criticize my article. I have been faced with censorship with no explanation to my questions. I asked for help and no one would answer my questions. True I did not ask for help like you outlined in the email to me but you would think that a petition on the talk page would generate some response other than further criticism. I am truly disappointed by this experience with Wikipedia as it has been censorship without explanation. I can handle criticism if it is explained and I am helped to learn but when I am unable to learn from the criticism I resent being criticized. Any thoughts? And will you be the one to finally answer my question as to why tripadvisor stays and meetinguniverse does not so I can learn?
Thank you,

Why did you try to delete the page on Gillian Tett? I would appreciate an explanation. She is rather better known and probably more influential than you are, and I cannot see how you were abiding by Wikipedia's own quality standards when you made what appeared to be a cavalier, unjustifiable and possibly irrational decision. May I suggest that you be a little less zealous in your editing in such cases? Such apparently arbitrary and unjust actions are, I feel, a little unfair on those of us who spend time and effort, for free, to create entries that follow guidelines. It is always easier to destroy than create. -- NOKESS —Preceding unsigned comment added by NOKESS ( talk • contribs) 12:56, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
My point, which I note you singularly fail to address, is that you acted in disregard of Wikipedia's policy and guidelines. As per them, I flagged the article "Hold on". First thing in the morning, (Swiss time, which is where I am), I went to make further additions to the page. Your actions were over zealous and did not allow time for the changes to be made. Your suggestions that I acknowledge your time is, frankly, completely irrelevant and slightly impertinent. On this occasion your judgement has let you down and damaged the credibility and value of the Wikipedia brand. And I repeat - it is very easy to destroy and criticize. Those of us who actually create things have a harder task. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NOKESS ( talk • contribs) 15:22, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Asserting that P is Not-P as you do makes no difference to the facts. You did not follow the policy on "Hang On." While you seem to congratulate yourself on a 5% error rate, this episode suggests that your own judgement of that rate may be quite unreliable. Your interpretation of policy is questionable and your disdain for people's right to time to sleep is bizarre and possibly unlawful in many jurisdictions. NOKESS ( talk) 15:42, 24 July 2009 (UTC) NOKESS
If someone flags something with "Hang On" the policy is that they be allowed some reasonable time to make changes such as bring the article into line with policy. While flagging something for deletion may not be actually deleting it, given the experience you say you have you must know that a probable consequence of your act of flagging the article would be deletion. I am sure it was not your intention, but when you say that you did not delete the article, the admins did, the bigger picture does cast your argument in your own defence in the "I voss only obeying orders" type. As it happens, I am a professional editor and have been a great user of Wikipedia. My experience with trying to create an entry for Dr Tett, who on any reasonable evaluation of the facts is a person whose entry is more deserved in Wikipedia than many, makes me feel that perhaps it is best to avoid trying to contribute to Wikipedia. I have found the arguments deployed against her entry to be excessively small minded, bureaucratic and low-level; a great encyclopedia, such as the early editions of Britannica, display balance, judgement and an avoidance of over hasty and over zealous editing. Perhaps Wikipedia will one day mature into that tradition. I also detect a great bias towards statism and bureaucracy in Wikipedia. A minor and mediocre public servant is readily given an entry, often a most sycophantic one at that. Private citizens and managers in business, and entrepreneurs, on the other hand, seem to have to face far higher hurdles than the civil servants. I have no interest in being an entry myself, not least as my profession is a behind the scenes one, but the bias I see if very large. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NOKESS ( talk • contribs) 15:59, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi there: You have made a number of illogical edits to the Rosh Hashanah article. One such ridiculous comment is that you wish to remove "Jewish POV" [3] from an article about the JEWISH New Year Holiday. That would be like removing the "Christian POV" from Christmas or "Einstein's POV" from discussions about E=mc2. A truly ridiculous example of how not to apply Wikipedia policies. It is not "POV" to describe and explain in a WP:NPOV and WP:V manner what the Jewish customs are of the Jewish people on the Jewish New New year as mandated by the Jewish religion and Jewish religious sources. If you have any serious questions and you lack the insight into Judaism's observances, please feel free to contact the WP:JUDAISM page @ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism where some knowledgeable editors can provide input. Thanks for your understanding. IZAK ( talk) 09:43, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello -
So, being new to Wikipedia, I do not know who you are. Are you an administrator, or just someone who has a personal, possessive concern with regard to Mr. Monckton's bio? You seem to insist on using the term "scientific consensus", rather than opinion or theory. I changed it because currently it is not correct.
I am not a member of any political party... but I know the term "consensus" is a charged word that automatically discounts Monckton's opinion. Not only that, it is not accurate, as there IS no consensus, although there is a prevalence. There are hundreds of thousands of scientists that believe that global warming (now "climate change") is either the result of factors beyond man's control, or not even occurring at all. If the words "prevalent scientific theory" were used, THAT would be accurate.
Is it your goal that readers believe that not only is his opinion different than the mainstream, but that virtually ALL scientists agree, and hence he is just a crackpot? That is what you get without the change. Frankly, the bio is rife with that sort of thing.

I have no association with the My Jewel apple variety other than that I was given a stick of scion wood two years ago through the CRFG. Myself and a number of CRFG members grow this variety, and there is one farm, I believe Privedelli, that still grows this commercially. I have no association with Privedelli. It is currently growing in my orchard and therefore I have authority to talk about it and describe it. It is important that we do not loose these varieties by letting them fall into obscurity. By giving them visibility on Wickipedia, we can help to make sure they don't get lost as more people will be likely to grow them. My orchard is a backyard orchard where I collect and grow apple varieties for personal consumption only. I have no commercial interest in this variety. AxelKratel ( talk) 22:03, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
The wikipedia guidelines explicitly state that an item does not have to be famous in order to be mentioned in wikipedia. Just because few people grow a specific variety of apple does not make it not notable or make it a conflict of interest. It should not be about fame. With this sort of approach to notability, Wikipedia would just become a dribble about the lowest common denominator, and would no longer be a reliable source of information. Nor is it a conflict of interest. A conflict of interest is defined in Wikipedia as pertaining to commercial or publicity interests. I have none in this regards. Perhaps now I am only beginning to understand why Wikipedia is such a terrible source of information for apples if it's this difficult to submit any information on apple varieties to Wikipedia. I will dig up the newspaper and book references on the subject and add them to the article since unfortunately there aren't very many internet references to this variety. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AxelKratel ( talk • contribs) 16:47, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, I was planning on really beefing up the varieties page, it's unfortunate I started with such an obscure apple. I have found one newspaper reference, and I will continue to look to find others. meanwhile I can also fill in many of the open varieties not yet described.

Onion, I'm going to dissent slightly from your admonishment to Mr. Kirkpatrick to use a spell checker, as that can only do so much. Please see my comment on his talk page for a better explanation as to where I'm coming from - in a nutshell, it's not spelling that's getting him, it's general issues with homonyms, general syntax errors, and for lack of a better description, spell check malapropisms (e.g., "caption" instead of "captain" (derived from "captin"?), "mints" instead of "minutes" (derived from "minits"?), etc.). -- Dennis The Tiger ( Rawr and stuff) 15:26, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
My opinion now is that some sort of intervention is warranted. Mr. Kirkpatrick has not tried to address concerns with his spelling; if anything it is worse. He is creating at least one article each day he is active, and the size of the problem is just getting bigger. YSSYguy ( talk) 09:24, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

"Masterpiece Museum" Edit-a-Thon at the Smithsonian American Art Museum | |
---|---|
The Smithsonian American Art Museum and Wikimedia DC present the "Masterpiece Museum" Edit-a-Thon. Drawing from their vast vaults of art, the caretakers of the Smithsonian American Art Museum have meticulously drawn forth canvas jewels to import into Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia articles. The museum directors and staff are excited about this project, and would love to have experienced Wikimedians help in the effort! Kirill [talk] 17:55, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
