Hello Keithbob. Happy New Year! I'm just letting you know that there is one more citation-related issue for you to address on Talk:Arlen F. Gregorio/GA1. Edge3 ( talk) 13:59, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
The article Arlen F. Gregorio you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Arlen F. Gregorio for comments about the article. Well done! Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Edge3 -- Edge3 ( talk) 17:52, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello there Keithbob! It's Keeby!
Just wanted to let you know that I started a Part 2 to the discussion on the Sasanian Empire that you commented on and I took your advice for the most part.
See Here: /info/en/?search=Talk:Sasanian_Empire#Recommendations_to_Map_Workshop_Team.21_Part_2.21
It might not be perfect, but you have to admit that it is a more distinct proposal than the last one.
I gave a clear, short summary of the issue and skipped the story telling. Made a distinct proposal, but didn't ask for a support or Oppose answer and I also Didn't include discussion and talk posts that dated months before the RfC even started, nor did I include comments like: "OK if a month goes by and there is no consensus then we'll do XYZ" and then come back months later and still be asking for more input to support your favored outcome.
So there you have it! Hopefully this one will be more successful with all that being said. Regards! :D Keeby101 ( talk) 22:23, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
The ANI was closed due to the DRN but the DRN was closed because of the ANI. So where to go? What I included in the ANI is a conduct issue not content and I was not finished presenting the evidence in any case but can continue doing so at whichever forum is most appropriate. Regards, Andajara120000 ( talk) 23:36, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
I think because you have filed in numerous venues within 48 hours you may not be taken seriously. I would suggest you wait a few days and gather yourself. Then present you evidence in a neutral and calm way after the dust has settled. Also please be aware of WP:BOOMERANG. At some point, your efforts may be perceived as disruptive. So slow down! :-) -- — Keithbob • Talk • 14:29, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Eileen Murray, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page COO ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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 Keithbob,
Thank you for reviewing the Stella Turk article.
Would you consider re-reviewing the site as I have corrected citation problems and two articles now link to Stella's page. I have also asked for the Cornwall Wildlife Trust to add links back to Stella and her late husband's pages.

Hi! The article has footnotes. They are perfectly shown at the bottom. What else is needed? The credits are on the official website. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 19:56, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
A female executive lands a high-level position at a male-dominated and notoriously chovenistic corporation. She becomes the subject of office gossip, speculation about affairs (one affair is suppossively confirmed, but denied by her) and the media is obsessed with her being a bombshell female executive - every profile story talks about her high-heels, skirts, expensive brand-name clothes. + she becomes rivals with her future boss who starts spreading criticisms about the returns of her division (construction in foreign countries, which is a low-margin and volatile business)
The secondary sources are strong enough and prolific, but it comes across as a lot of gossip-mongering. Of course it's hard to assess without spending hours researching (I'm still reading stuff about her), but was wondering if you had any general input RE BLP. I don't want to white-wash it, but neither do I want to repeat a bunch of gossip. CorporateM ( Talk) 21:54, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Keithbob. I was sorry to see that RfA end the way it did. Knowing you as someone who is wise, insightful, fair-minded, and an astute "student" of Wikipedia who continuously improves his work, I was hoping that you would own up to the existence of the elephant in the living room, and give the rest of us some assurance that you will watch out for the elephant and avoid admin actions in any way related to the elephant.

perseverance and willingness to compromise
Thank you for quality biographies such as
Norman E. Rosenthal, for writing and improving articles related to
new religious movements aiming for a "balanced and accurate representation of reliable sources from all significant points of view", with "improve prior edit" a frequent edit summary, for discussion instead of reverts and for
dispute resolution: "... mindful of their tone. I understand this process is slow and frustrating but WP requires civility at all times and we should try to remain calm and respectful, - you are an
awesome Wikipedian!

Thank you for your help at the Dispute resolution Noticeboard. I see you are on break now - enjoy! Blue Rasberry (talk) 12:16, 25 January 2014 (UTC) |
Hi Keithbob, I'm sorry to hear what happened at the RfA. I don't know all specifics, but I'm going to look into it. Until now I didn't know you were a nominee, or else I would have given my opinion. I don't want whatever happened there discourage you from editing WP and as a long time editor you definitely know that. You were a great coordinator at DRN and were a great help to many, many editors. You are a great Wikipedian and we don't want to see you go.
Don't let whatever happened there get to you. Use your time off to clear your head, enjoy your time with family and friends and relax! Don't get Wikistress, when you're back no one is going to question you about the RfA like a paparazzi. Wikipedians tend to have long memories, but they aren't going to bring something up like this - which made you "leave" Wikipedia for an unspecified amount of time.
Don't let my words get to you either - come back when you feel the time is right. I understand you went through an unsuccessful RfA, but forget about it! We all miss you and I hope we work in partnership again soon, your friend, Nick (MrScorch6200).
P.S. Don't worry about DRN, I'll pick up your usual load of cases. TransporterMan will also make a great coordinator so don't worry!
P.P.S Remember what you said, "I feel very humbled by it [the RfA] and moved no matter what the final outcome." Don't forget those words! Two people had the courage to nominate you and felt strongly that you could be an Admin, and that is all that counts!
Best of luck, -- MrScorch6200 ( t c) 07:19, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
I have opened a formal RfC at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Images#Request for comment on the deprecation of left-aligned images under sub-headings,an issue on which you commented in previous discussion there. DrKiernan ( talk) 09:54, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Hello Keith, I was wondering if you could help fix the lion vs tiger topic, it seems the topic has a certain someone with abusuing wikipedias ethics and using it to pump out some type of bias supremacy, cherry picking and being subjective, even contradicting his own guidelines he uses, makes false accusations and is hypocritical to his own suggestions.
I'd like to start it off with suggesting to review the revision of its current and compare it to a previous one: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Tiger_versus_lion&diff=prev&oldid=591817160
Changes were made simply because some of the data was unreliable as stated in the talk: /info/en/?search=Talk:Tiger_versus_lion
I have learned that I must only make comments on the edits, and not the editors, so I will try and keep it as so to better adress it. My main delima is, this topic has been unchecked for years, and has no true consensus that is confirmed reliable and un-bias, so I would like to request if you could share the info with a few others to develop a basic un-bias assesment, I'd like to start it off with pointing out a guide line:
Under its:
--History--
The Qualifications: Should be of historical significance, so only people with back grounds of Ph.d and Masters degrees should be accepted for reliability and credability via Historians.
--Physical comparison--
The Qualifications: Should be adressed on a species scale, the historical significance is graded on its history, so it must refraim from cherry picking sub-speices via bengal and siberian, as of now it is leaving out the malay, sumatran, bali ect it must include all of them to reach an average and to be historically accurate.
--Accidental fights in captivity--
The Qualifications: All historical/modern accounts should be fully brought to the awareness of the world/public, the details should be mentioned for both sides regardless if its a un-fair fight of gender, age, and quanity/odds, since these animals are not replicas via exactly the same to the T, so of course a parity, sex/gender and age/condition is only being subjective, all documentation should be accepted according to reliablility, as of now there is only pro-tiger data that is in effect as pure insinuation, via cherry picked while other reliable sources that supports the lion is being constantly erased with no viable reasons other than false accusations and making things up.
--Expert opinions--
The Qualifications: Should be upon people with observation upon seeing them fight, an opinion from someone with experince working with these animals is not enough and holds no merits since the topic is specifically on fighting, if they haven't seen them fight (has no cites mentioning a observed fight) it shoulden't be used, only people who have been eye witnesses to conflicts between the two should be used for credability.
I am suggesting a more fair assesment since what is in place now is subjective, bias and pro-data, both sides of the coin should be mentioned, all the substance should be mentioned both ways, and a fair assesment on what is avaliable to add in should be implimented both ways of its reliability and credability.
At the moment I am unable to use my emails, if you have any comments to add/reply with, please leave it here in the Talk so I can read it.

member:MrScorch6200 Then who do you suggest should be notifyed? If hes only on break, then theres actually no big rush, as long as it gets adressed. Golden Prime ( talk) 21:36, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

A couple more notes re: Don Fury -
Career: About Max's Kansas City and CBGB - I am sure the proximity of Fury's 17th Street studio to seminal punk club Max's Kansas City ( less than 2 blocks away) and the proximity of Fury's 18 Spring Street studio to seminal punk club CBGB ( 4 blocks away ) had great effect on Fury's career, and that the locations were important choices. These clubs hosted the same punk and hardcore bands that used Fury's studios and were within easy walking distance. Had Fury opened his studio on his native Long Island in the late 1970's, he never would have met these punk and hardcore bands. The significance of the 17th Street location and Max's Kansas City is supported by reference - Brian McElhiney (9 October 2010) - and the significance of the CBGB location is supported in all references, while the distance of 4 blocks can be derived from the actual street addresses.
Fury recordings: citations or references - there are no hard published guides to many indie record producers' discographies. I found discog.com very thorough, and noted the same as a reference ( including retrieval date which has since disappeared? ). Fury's official website also has a discography, but discog.com is arm's length, more thorough, and I thought the better reference of the two possibilities. You will find that most punk and hardcore bands with Wiki entries have discographies without citation - perhaps discog.com is sufficient for this purpose.

Hi CM and thanks for your comments and willingness to discuss. Yes, we often disagree on content but I don't believe we've ever had what I would call an argument. As far as the Yelp content goes, I understand that you are in a position that is like trying to corral a bunch of cats while your hands are tied behind your back (the cats being both content and editors). For this reason you may be trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Sometimes controversial articles are never ready for GA because there is no clear consensus on all the content. Also the editors, consensus and content are constantly changing. Further, and I know this is not your intention, but there is an appearance that you are trying to shape the article by creating a continuous series of RfC's and jamming them with multiple issues some of which have already been discussed. I fully sympathize with your position and you are a prime example of all the ways in which WP is not addressing the needs of companies, organizations, notable people and PR firms who want to create or modify content while respecting WP's policies including WP:V and WP:NPOV. I feel that your current path is stirring up controversy and debate on the talk page rather than stabilizing the article and refining its content for a GA review. You are doing this by creating multiple back to back RfC's on content that has been relatively stable for the past few months and by listing the various editors names and their estimated opinions and giving RfC participants multiple options. I know this is the opposite of what you want and it must be very frustrating as you look for ways to make significant changes to the article while limiting yourself to the talk page.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 19:28, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
No, I'm not accusing you of ownership. Just reflecting on the concept in general and explaining my approach to mitigating the natural tendency for editors (including me) to want to preserve their work.

Would you consider taking Highland Clearances? The last time it came up you were out and it failed because no one (including me) wanted to take it. Feel free to say no. Also feel free to offer to the disputants to take the case but to condition your acceptance on the filing party, the IP editor, creating an account and only editing signed-on in the future. While we as a forum don't have that right, you as an individual volunteer certainly have the right to condition your participation as a mediator on whatever conditions you want and there's even support for that at WP:MEDIATION#Control of mediation. That's what I would do (and may do if you choose not to take the case). Best regards, TransporterMan ( TALK) 15:31, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

The only thing I would note from both the page and the talk page discussions is that there seems to be more than enough evidence to switch the location to Jersey, both in number of news references and recency of information.

Hi Keithbob! I would like to thank you for your years of hard work and valuable contributions which you have done for Wikipedia :) I can truly understand how difficult it would have been for you to recover from an unfortunately failed RfA.

Hi Keithbob,
Great to see you’re back on Wikipedia and thank you for looking at the Brevan Howard page again. Also thank you so much for making the headquarter location change from Geneva to Jersey, would it be possible to change this in the information box on the right of the main article as well, to ensure consistency?
I would definitely like to get your input in getting the outstanding inaccuracies changed and the article corrected. The outstanding points which I would welcome your input and opinion on are as below (sources are included currently on the talk page or I can provide them separately for reference).
I look forward to hearing back from you and to discussing any of this further. Again thank you so much for your input so far, it is very much appreciated. Please let me know how we can move this forward and how I can help in anyway.
"Fund manager, Geraldine Sundstrom, joined the company in 2007 and oversees the Brevan Howard Master Fund."
Geraldine Sundstrom joined as a partner at Brevan Howard in 2007 and was the portfolio manager of the Emerging Markets Strategies Master Fund Limited. In February 2014 Brevan Howard announced it was closing this fund after a poor performance in 2013 and Geraldine would be leaving the organisation.
"According to a company press release it also manages two closed-ended feeder funds, BH Global Limited and BH Macro Limited"
Brevan Howard also manages three closed-ended feeder funds; BH Global Limited, BH Credit Catalysts Limited and BH Macro Limited
"As of 2012 its assets under management (AUM) were second among the European hedge fund management firms."
Brevan Howard has retained the title of "Largest Hedge Fund in Europe" for the second year in a row with around $40 billion in assets under management in 2013.
The current article mentions Brevan Howard manage 11 funds but only names six of them. I hope to change this to name all the funds.
As of September 2013 Brevan Howard manages the following 11 funds: Brevan Howard Master Fund Limited (“BHMF”), Brevan Howard Emerging Markets Strategies Master Fund Limited (“BHEMS”), Brevan Howard Asia Master Fund Limited (“BHA”), Brevan Howard Multi-Strategy Master Fund Limited (“BHMS”), Brevan Howard Credit Catalysts Master Fund Limited (“BHCC”), Brevan Howard Commodities Strategies Master Fund Limited (“BHCS”), Brevan Howard Systematic Trading Master Fund Limited (“BHST”), Brevan Howard Credit Value Master Fund Limited (“BHCV”), Brevan Howard CMBS Master Fund Limited (“BHCMBS”), Brevan Howard Investment Fund: Emerging Markets Local Fixed Income Fund Limited (“BHEML”), Brevan Howard Investment Fund II - Macro FX Fund Limited (“BHMFX”)

I'm not sure why you abruptly closed the discussion. Divot, Lhakh and I presume Antelope Hunter were in agreement with me that the Azerbaijani figure of 485 should be included since it was confirmed by a third-party (De Waal). This is not the same state that the 613 figure is in, which is merely government propaganda without any evidence and which is not backed by third-party sources.-- Urartu TH ( talk) 04:19, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
I did my job as a volunteer discussion moderator at DRN. In the DRN case I left a clear summary of what I felt was the consensus that resulted from the discussions. Now, I've answered your questions as to why I closed the DRN when I did. The DRN process and its content, summaries etc. are non-binding. If you disagree with my summary of the case that is your right and you can go back to the article's talk page and say so. However, badgering me on my talk page by repeating what I consider to be a skewed version of the events there is not going to accomplish anything.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 18:43, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
As a Presa Canario owner and breeder, I feel that adding the sourced attacks for this breed, or any, is unfair and discriminatory without adding similar information for ALL breeds of dogs. Simple internet searching will reveal that both the chihuahua and the dachshund are both in the top ten of dog bite situations, but yet neither of these vicious animals have their wiki pages denoting this information. Dog attack information can be sought out freely on the interwebs, but listing these attacks without a basis for comparison with other breeds can make this breed seem more vicious and aggressive than other similar dogs. I just don't think it's fair, and would challenge you to tell my Kharma Jean that she is anything but a sweetheart... -Juan

See [3] and [4]. Any advice? It seems unlikely it can be talked out, especially if it turns out that there's sockpuppeting, but it seems too trivial for the BLP or Dispute Resolution noticeboards which have hundreds of page watchers. I can't 3D0 because there's ostensibly more than one editor on the other side, and they'd probably ignore 3D0 anyway. Rolf H Nelson ( talk) 23:18, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
I don't think any article had been deleted. The suggestion was to merge with 2010 north Malaysian floods. The red link was a suggested title for the merged article (which didn't happen). The discussion had gone stale, and I'm good with marking it closed, but you might want to revise the closing comment for accuracy. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 09:51, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Keithbob. I see you were working on merging 2010 north Malaysian floods and 2010 Thailand floods as recently as ten days ago.

One of the problems of the current "higher" forms of DR — DRN and MEDCOM — is that not much can be done at either place if some of the major participants in the dispute do not choose to join in. I've worked up a draft proposal for a fourth form of DR (3O being the third one) which would avoid that problem, but only in those cases which have been rejected at DRN or MEDCOM for lack of partipation. I'm inviting a small group of my DR colleagues — AGK, Hasteur, Keithbob, Macon, Miller, Strad, Writ Keeper, and Zhang — to tell me what they think of the feasibility of this idea. (And if any of you would like to invite someone else to the party, feel free to do so.) The proposal is located in my sandbox in my sandbox here. If you have a minute, I'd really appreciate your comments on the talk page there. Best regards, TransporterMan ( TALK) 19:16, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Keith, I got an email from Transporterman about my approach to the DRN about Hava Nagila and has asked me to email you my concerns before publishing them in the discussion. I have no idea how to send you an email, but you are free to delete my post on your talk page if it offends you. Look I am sorry if I hurt your feelings and I too don't want to push an agenda in this discussion either. But, in my experience sometimes and with some people to get them to participate in a discussion we have to provoke them. I know and agree with your point about WP:RS and yes, that alone is enough for any content in Wikipedia, but User:Galassi came across as somebody with a purist approach to Trivia and sports. That comment about Wikilawyering was my way of saying that there is somebody on the side of user:Galassi and I think it worked because he (or she) started to participate more often in the discussion. You could have always closed the discussion without his participation but I had a feeling that would not have stopped Galassi from doing what he was doing and he does not come across as someone who is concerned about criticism. Trust me, I knew what I am doing because handling conflicts every day is my job (literally). Even if you are mad at me, thats ok, I will live happily if you promise you wont get discouraged by mine (or anybody else's) rude behavior. Thanks for reading.-- Wikishagnik ( talk) 00:36, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk page has an interesting comment: [5]
But at DR/N, all I find is a total lack of discussion, which means citing it as evidence that there was "no consensus to remove" material seems a tad weak -- as is his position:
Which I fear means the person is not aware of WP:BLP applying across all articles. Might you indicate whether the non-existent DR/N discussion can be used for any purpose of asserting that it did not show a specific "consensus to remove"? Cheers. Collect ( talk) 15:51, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
Hey man, I'm messaging you because I noticed you have experience with working out problems.
Recently, I
nominated an article for deletion. I
notified the creator, and half an hour later I left him a note
explaining that I did so for the best of the site, I could be wrong, and either way I look forward to working with the guy in the future (we have no prior interaction). He doesn't seem to believe me, and
accused me of both bad faith and vandalism by the nomination. He's been editing a while and he doesn't seem to have any prior conflicts so maybe the topic is sensitive to him.
As a guy with good mediation skills, could you maybe message him and try to work things out on an editor-to-editor level? Whether the community agrees with the nomination or not is fine, it's all about improving the site, but I don't want to have ill will between myself and another editor. Thanks so much.

Hi Keithbob,
I was just looking at the DRN, checking up on an issue that I am involved in, when I noticed a problem. It appears that a discussion - either "Indian general election" or "God's Not Dead" - has not been closed properly, and as a result, the coding for the open discussion "2014 Formula One season" has become corrupted, and the discussion no longer appears in the table of contents or in the list of active cases. I would try to fix it myself, butI have no idea what the missing code is, and the article is too big for my mobile browser to handle. Could you please take a look at it?

Hi bro. I'm expecting some help from you. There's an edit warring going on by an user User:Shivamsetu on pages of Patna and Bihar. Earlier it was written Bihar is a north indian state but he changed it to east. I've some reliable source (like news clips from india's trusted media group like The hindu, India today, TOI for instance see [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14] ) which openely says Bihar is a north indian state and also an Indian goverment site (Cultural zones of India) which puts Bihar in both the categories ie, North Central Indian Cultural Zone ( [15]) and East Indian Cultural Zone ( [16]) (this is the only source on which a wikipedia page North India is created). And that guy also has some proofs to put Bihar in east india (sources like same media group and bihar goverment sites and etc which says bihar an eastern indian state). So bro, i wanna say that isn't it possible to put and show Bihar as an eastern as well as northern Indian state likewise Indian goverment categorized it into these two groups?? I think it is possible because i've reliable source of information as reference for my claim and he also have so we both can put our points on wikipedia with our reference. And also, he always undo my edits when i put my claim, even i had a discussion with him but he seems to me like an arrogant and thinks that he's self sophisticated and self centred and like just he own these pages and only he could make edits and only his sources are reliable. Currently he's got that page blocked from editing with the help of some other users. So please you can do something about that? And also it feels to me and other peoples like denying our right to edit on wikipedia even when we've reliable source of information as to put as reference. And moreover that user looks to me an east freak, everywhere just putting east and east and east. 70.39.185.209 ( talk) 08:38, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I see you closed the request for Dispute Resolution on the Angela Merkel article here per "Closed due to lack of participation". In my past experience, when the DR is picked up by a volunteer - which it never was in this particular case - they notify the involved parties and ask them to comment. I was waiting for that to occur, and presumably, the other users may have as well. The lack of participation was due to the fact that the DR request was never picked up (for more than a week).
Should I refile the request (and wait another week before someone notices it) or just re-open it? Volunteer Marek ( talk) 20:08, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

FWIW, if you want to close the DRN filing I wouldn't blame you at this point. It seems the involved parties aren't going to see any further eye-to-eye, nobody's stepped in to play coordinator (and I already said pretty much what I'd say if I was faciliating the case), there's been too many comments directed at fellow editors versus focusing on the issues themselves for my taste, and...honestly, unless someone's able and willing to step in and streamline the situation, I think the DRN filing's at an impasse. FWIW, I at least think everyone involved means well...they're just not making any progress now, it seems to me.
OTOH, if you think there's anything I can say/do to push matters forward, I'm willing to give it a go. But based on the most recent activity I'd just as soon see it go to RFC or another more formalized process.

The article on this topic, and potentially related articles, have been more than a bit of a battleground between supporter(s) and other(s) for some years now. Personally, I think the matter may call for disciplinary input, but I don't have really good access to more recent RS's on the topic, so I dunno. But I think the article would definitely benefit from more eyes on it, and possibly, if they think it called for, perhaps some consideration of outside action of some kind.

Hey Bob, No need to leave "WARNING" signs on my talk page. You are three days late. I have already told the anonymous user asking the ridiculous, irrelevant questions, as well as others that have contacted me, that the Timeshare Tour is off my watch list, and I have no intention of ever editing it again. If I am so out of touch with who is a parasite, and who is sincere, I have no business in that article any longer. Relax. P.S. "I called no one any names", unless telling someone they are a timeshare salesman is calling them a name. I made accusations as to the user's agenda.....yes. And I stand by them. You might try reading the section two sections above the user's "Name Calling Section" "Added POV tag" to get a feel for what was really going on there. But like I said: Timeshare articles are not in my watch list any longer. In my opinion, the name calling section there should be deleted. The issue is settled.- Pocketthis ( talk) 15:22, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Hiya Keith...so I've taken my first DRN case...at least, the first one I've taken that I wasn't able to immediately close on procedural grounds: case here. I think I'm handling it okay at this point, but if you wanted to look it over, I wouldn't say no. Parties seem to be getting along well, though there's only two of them and matters were initially complicated by one of them "closing" the initial discussion at the article's Talk page...but that party has apologized. They're talking about it at article Talk currently, which I've dinged them for. I'll admit I'm hoping they'll agree to close the DRN case and work it out at article Talk; I've also floated the possibility of WP:3O or related Wikiprojects as options that would likely be less intensive than a DRN case, but we'll see what they say!

Hi, at the DRN V guide you've been doing some decent wordsmithing. For one thing, you jiggled the prelim process text to say volunteers should make sure there "has been sufficient prior discussion". The V-Guide does not provide any guidance on how volunteers should determine that sufficiency. There is a talk thread now underway on this point, and I'd be interested in your take. One volunteer ignores the parts of talk page threads with irrelevant content; another believes volunteers should not attempt to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant content. (And if either stop by here and object to my summary of their positions, then we should have another round and I'll try to write a new more fair summary.) Anyway.... please stop by the V-guide talk page to weigh in on what it means for prior discussion to be "sufficient". Thanks! NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 14:28, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Someone suggested at the Village Pump that I boldly create Wikipedia:Extant Organizations/Noticeboard, a noticeboard to discuss articles about organizations that may be subject to non-neutral editing. Basically it's the corporate version of BLPN, where both adverts and attack pages can be brought to the community for broader scrutiny. Except this board does not currently relate to a specific policy like BLPN does, except NPOV, V, etc. (though it could refer to this essay I wrote or something). You participated in the prior village pump discussion that led to consensus for Template:COI editnotice, which is now widely used. Although this noticeboard is not COI-related, I thought you might have an interest in this as well, in whether the noticeboard should be kept and/or in participating in it generally.

The Admin's Barnstar | |
Thanks for your efforts regarding my recent dispute resolution request. You are the first person to have actually read and understood my concerns, after my having already posted it twice on the admin page, it being twice closed there, and my being redirected to your venue. While I don't believe there was any true resolution obtained in or out of the venue, I appreciate your consideration. Daniellagreen (talk) (cont) 14:29, 29 June 2014 (UTC) |
I think I saw that the new discretionary sanctions procedure means that notifications should not be logged (I think that was to reduce the tension, with people scoring points off each other by logging editors they don't like). This relates to your recent log. If you look at the history of the talk page of the logged user, an edit tag records that the notification was given. See Template:Ds/alert#Logging. There is probably a page somewhere with advice, but I don't know where! Johnuniq ( talk) 00:21, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Therefore, an automatic system log of all alerts is maintained. You need not do anything except leave the alert." and I think that is the only statement on the matter (outside the very long discussions which led to the new system). A week prior to your log, an admin logged another notification, but that used the old system where no automatic log occurs. Johnuniq ( talk) 02:06, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi Kiethbob,
Thank you for looking into the situation at the Shakespeare authorship articles. I must admit to being thoroughly confused. As I think you know, I filed at the administrators board and was told that the conduct issues were minor, and that the rest were content issues. The recent closing at DR questions whether there are content issues and mentions conduct issues instead. I feel a little like a ping-pong ball. I see that one of the reasons for the closure was that any resolution appeared "fruitless".
As you first surmised, there is definitely a content issue going on, and if the other editors refuse to participate in dispute resolution, is that acceptable? Is there any other option for me to just request a policy and guideline review of the articles in question? I think if an administrator or overseer were too simply apply policies and guidelines, a lot can be clarified for all the editors involved. FatGuySeven ( talk) 12:23, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I should explain why I reverted your undo of 'who instigated the local services project based on user reviews' on the early history of Yelp regarding David Galbraith. Regarding your comment: "redundant and creates undo weight, his role as co founder is clear". I don't think his role is clear if it merely mentions that he came up with the name, as he clearly outlines his role instigating a project based on user reviews on his website: http://davidgalbraith.org/portfolio/companies-yelp/ with pictures which show the original office where Yelp was incubated and original designs for Yelp. This story is further validated by Om Malik in the article linked to, which adds weight not only because he is one of Silicon Valley's most well known journalists, with more than a million followers on Twitter, but that he states he had first hand knowledge of the early days of Yelp and that its history was not completely known, something which Wikipedia is specifically good at getting to accurately, and so this seems important. I originally though the undo might have been someone vandalizing (hence the tone of the note on the undo I did, which I apologize for, but having looked at your impressive history of edits realize that you care deeply about accuracy. I hope you agree with keeping the original I propose since it reflects a balanced view of the facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.131.229.132 ( talk) 22:42, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi, The sentence doesn't state that Galbraith was a co-founder of Yelp, as is said in the Om Malik article, but that could be added. In fact the main thrust of the Om Malik article is that the company history omits this and that his involvement was not minor and that Om Malik was a first hand witness.. The Galbraith source was not linked to for this reason but provides photographs and examples of works that demonstrate clearly that the Om Malik article is correct. The edit that you have made is not removing 'every nuance' but removes every sense of the history of Galbraith's involvement other than the coming up with the name, giving the false idea that he was not involved. The Om Malik article suggest that the involvement of Galbraith was much more that I suggested, I could have added this, however merely added information that is uncontroversial, pertinent to the history and clearly corroborated by Galbraith's personal account, so I have undone your deletion and we can take this to the general talk page as you discuss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.131.229.132 ( talk) 05:44, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
In response to the comments made by Mr. KeithBob, I thought I will weigh in. It is surprising that the company has gone to great lengths to whitewash the history for no apparent reason and erase a key contributor. But this is common behavior lately. There were many of us who are first hand witnesses to the formation of the company and can reaffirm of the role played by David Galbraith -- Om! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.14.155.193 ( talk) 14:20, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello! Recently, I attempted to begin moderating the dispute over Bob Avakian. However, you stated that the dispute would be closed in 24 hours unless a DRN volunteer begins moderation? Did I miss some policy to notify some list that moderation had begun? Did something not recognize me as a volunteer because I only signed up as a volunteer a few days ago? Is there anything more I should do? Icarosaurvus ( talk) 22:58, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi, this is EnRealidad, the user who has been involved in the dispute over the Bob Avakian page. I'm really new to the "Notice Board" process and am trying to figure out how to proceed, both practically (e.g. who do I write to, where do I post, etc.) and also how to move forward with the content of the dispute itself. I have had a chance to digest the comments from Keithbob about the page, and also saw the note from Icarosaurvus that he/she has volunteered to moderate the dispute.
I have some thoughts about Keithbob's comments, especially the question of references to primary sources, and while I think there is merit to the Wiki standards on this question, I don't think it can be simply or mechanically applied in this case where there's a question of presenting the actual views of the living person featured in this biography. My objections to many of the edits made in the past were that they distorted the positions of Avakian in a way that substituted the views of the other editors for Avakian's views, making it seem like he was advocating positions or presenting opinions that were actually quite different (and in some cases directly in opposition) to what he has actually had to say. That's part of the reason for citations to his own writings.
In any case, I don't have time now for a long response but definitely would like to be actively involved in additional discussion on the page and any edits or proposed edits occur. Can you let me know the best way to do this? Thanks in advance. EnRealidad ( talk) 14:45, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Dear Keithbob
Could you please come and mediate between me and the Middayexpress as we reached a dead on reaching a resolution in our dispute regarding the SSC regions of Somalia here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Khatumo_State#SSC_clans — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.164.181.138 ( talk) 18:31, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Keithbob and Icarosaurvus,
I wrote to both of you a few days ago about moderating the dispute on the Bob Avakian page that was requested by Xcure1fendx. I haven't heard back from you, but wanted to see if you'll get involved more actively. (If I posted it incorrectly, my apologies. I'm somewhat new at this.)
My particular concern is that after Keithbob posted his thoughts on what was needed in terms of edits to the page, an editor named Cwobeel removed two major sections without any comments about why. I reverted the page to what it had been, then Xcure1fendx removed the same sections, removed all links to writings of Avakian that are listed, and also did some small edits to the "Claims of 'Cult of Personality' page. Xcuref1endx's only explanation for the changes (and for reverting my reversions of Cwobeel's edits) were that Keithbob had recommended changes.
It seems to me this is violating the whole notion of "dispute resolution". I take Keithbob's comments seriously. But I also understood this to be a process, not a fait accompli.
For example, I disagree with Keithbob's comments about removing some of the citations to Avakian's own writings and talks. I think that in a case like this were we are dealing with a living person with very controversial views, there is a need to reference his own writings and talks in order to accurately capture what he has to say.
That was the source of my disagreements with a whole series of edits by Xcuref1endx in late 2011 and early 2012 where he had rewritten extensive sections of the page in ways that might have captured his/her own views, but were decidedly different than Avakian's. I thoroughly explained each change and why I felt the Xcuref1endx edits distorted Avakian's views.
(I find it a bit ironic that Xcuref1endx keeps complaining that there is little controversy about Avakian's ideas outside those affiliated with the Revolutionary Communist Party that Avakian leads, yet he/she seems determined to keep editing the page in a way that favors his/her views over Avakian's.)
Anyway, I would like to engage in some actual, constructive discussion on Keithbob's suggestions, as well as those of others. I am not that familiar with Wiki protocol and don't know how this is done, so I'd appreciate any advice and instructions on how to go about this. But in the meantime, I don't think it is appropriate for Xcuref1endx to simply act on suggestions in a way that implies they are orders from on high and the case is closed on any differences.

I'm sorry about that. The contrast between actually editing interesting articles on fascinating topics, -i.e. contributing usefully to wikipedia,- and having to debate endlessly what I regard as nonsense by editors I am constrained by WP:AGF to accept as interlocutors, is just a little too aggravating personally for me not to sound dismissive. You were not the object of my displeasure. I did not wish to waste time there, added a comment out of respect for one editor's efforts, and found it was talked past by the primary disputant. I know you are a very competent and decent mediator, and feel duty-bound to apologize for any displeasure this may have, unintentionally, caused. I get insulted every other week around here, and therefore tend to have a tough hide, and a manner that may seem overbearing, though unless one is tough-minded in the I/P editing cesspit, you die a quick death, and perhaps my 8 years there shows. Best wishes Nishidani ( talk) 19:57, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello Keithbob; Regarding the re-open you just placed on the 2014 Israel dispute. The message I just posted this morning there was actually to suggest an immanent close out of the dispute based on the recent discovery of WP:Lede issues. If you concur with the reasoning there you are welcome to close it out along with my support since you are the one who really did the leg work here. Also the open RfC on the disputed Talk page can also be closed out at the same time and for much the same reason since WP:MoS allows only settled material in the main body of the article to be summarized in the Infobox. By definition of differing and on-going news reports on casualty statistics in that region, this information can not go into the Infobox since it has not yet been settled in the press. If you can look at this you are free to close these with my support. FelixRosch ( talk) 18:45, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
I posted this on the Talk page for the "Bob Avakian" article and am also posting it on the Talk pages of individual editors who have commented on this recently.
Nobody has bothered responding to any of the criticisms I put up on the “Bob Avakian” talk page about edit by Keithbob and others, other than Keithbob saying that I should start a separate thread if I "have concerns about a specific sentence or source". No, it isn't a problem with one or two phrases or sources – I have concerns about the overall totality of the article as rewritten. It is inaccurate, possibly libelous around certain allegations of legal issues, and biased.
My criticisms are very specific, based on carefully locating and studying each one of the sources added to the article, researching the authors of those pieces, and looking at what I know of the actual facts. I have offered specific criticism and comments about different elements of the article. And I've raised concerns that this is very connected with the basic methodology that led to this – just find something that someone said, don't bother looking at whether they have any basis to say it, and then simply cite it as truth. This is precisely what leads to rumors and inaccurate summations being turned into "facts" when there is no basis for this.
Nobody has addressed any of this. Instead, the argument seems to be simply an empty call for "consensus" without dealing with the content of that concensus. Just because the majority of people say something doesn't make it true. Think about the fact that most people in this country question basic scientific understanding like evolution, or global warming.
Again, it is inappropriate and frankly irresponsible to simply remove an article that was the result of literally months and months of careful study of everything I could find on Avakian, whether supportive or critical, and carefully source every statement in it, and instead substitute a poorly researched, biased "substitute". It goes along with removing all of the content of Avakian's views and writings without any effort to even engage them. Again, readers of Wikipedia come here to find something accurate, reliable and informative. EnRealidad ( talk) 18:17, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
I just received a threat from User:MILH for editing my own user page: " Don't even think of deleting this warning—as you did before—as I'll not only revert your deletion, but I'll also inform admins of what you're pulling and see to it that you are banned for good." I was uncertain if my deletion was bad form so I checked; "Policy does not prohibit users, whether registered or unregistered users, from removing comments from their own talk pages, although archiving is preferred. The removal of material from a user page is normally taken to mean that the user has read and is aware of its contents." [59]
I don't think User:MILH understands content issues can be addressed, and reconciled, on a point by point basis in the dispute resolution noticeboard.

Hi, I see you're quite active at WP:DRN. I'm having a problem with reversion without edit summaries at the above article.

Your edits are removing information from from the subject Gonzalo Lira. You wrote me a note saying that the info was "primary research"—yet previous editors objected because the information on the subject was not adequately sourced. I'm reverting your edits because you are removing the items that made the subject notable, mainly his blogging and punditry. -- MILH ( talk) 22:16, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi MILH, Its obvious from your comments that you are not yet familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. You have made the Gonzalo Lira article into a fluff pieces using things like a link to You Tube search results and a link to search results on a personal website as citations. These are not acceptable on Wikipedia. I suggest you read WP:RS and WP:BIO. Wikipedia requires significant in depth coverage in reliable secondary sources to establish notability. At the present there are no sources in the article that do so. I have listed all of the so called sources on the talk page and illustrated why almost none of them meet Wikipedia's standard for reliable secondary sources. Please read WP:BLP and WP:SECONDARY and then we can discuss further on the article talk page. Thanks.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 15:33, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
Keithbob, in the talk page of the article, I'm pointing out that you removed the fact that he's a film director and producer. Which under WP guidelines is a relevant issue, but hey, you don't know about it, so it can't be relevant, right? -- MILH ( talk) 19:48, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
Lira directed at least one feature film. Here is an external link to the trailer: http://cinechile.cl/pelicula-84. Yet you removed the information that he's a film director/producer/writer—which gives credence to your claim that he's non-notable.
Your strategy seems to be to remove everything the man has ever done, then use that as the excuse to wipe him from Wikipedia altogether.
That, at least, is how I see it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The man co-wrote, co-produced and directed at least one feature film with reputable actors—yet you deleted that information.
The man appeared as an econ pundit on a whole bunch of TV shows, all of them on YouTube—yet you deleted that information.
The man had a huge blog following, with verifiable claims of big numbers—yet you deleted that information.
All you have allowed him to have is his novels and say that he's "a blog writer for economic web sites".
Your edits to the Lira entry suggest you want to eliminate him as non-notable. You appear to be doing that by removing the things he is notable for.
What's that all about? -- MILH ( talk) 00:18, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
As you are a member of the New religious movements work group, I thought I should bring to your attention the fact that someone recently gutted the New religious movements Manual of Style. I have found this article to be quite helpful in editing articles related to NRM's. I reverted the edit but that was re-reverted (if there is such a word) quite soon aver my reversion.
Perhaps, all that is needed is that the name of the article should be changed from "Manual of Style" to something more appropriate (e.g. General guidance for articles on NRM's or something similar). However, I really would prefer not losing the guidance and thought that I should bring this to the attention of those in the work group. Taxee ( talk) 22:26, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Keithbob. 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).

Hello Keithbob, I've seen that in the article Lolani you have modified the caption of the photo of actor Lou Ferrigno adding the edit summary "captions are to ID the content of the photo not give information per WP:IMAGE". I'm trying to learn how to write a good image caption and this page of the Manual of style states that a caption should establish what's the relationship between the image and the article, because not all users actually read the article before focusing on the images. I find this guideline not compatible with the goal of just identifying the image contents without providing more information, an approach that would lead to the same identical caption in all the articles where an image is used. Can I ask you more information about the identification-only approach that you cited in the edit summary? I can't find this recommendation in any of the guidelines that I've read. Thanks in advance! ► LowLevel (talk) 09:30, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for stopping by. Edit summaries are brief so I would amend my statement by saying: The purpose an image is to illustrate content already in the article. They should be placed in the section where the content they illustrate already resides. They should be concise and convey the general content of the image and how it relates to the relevatn content already in the article. So a good caption might say:
While an improper caption might say:
I think you get the idea. :-) You are an intelligent and astute editor. Just follow the guidelines.
Hi Keithbob; After your Talk page visit, I did clarify/strengthen my comment to the IP on DRN who does not appear able to do links to text changes, and the IP is now editing with dynamic IP accounts (now adding IP 92.251... and without signing).
