A barnstar for you!

	The Teamwork Barnstar
	For dealing with the User:Marshallsumter issues. Cerejota ^{If you reply, please place a {{talkback}} in my talk page if I do not reply soon.} 04:44, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! It has needed teamwork indeed. LadyofShalott 06:49, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

What do you think.

Please take a look at Shayari and its talk page,and article Urdu poetry,I think Shayari should be removed.What do you think about it?.Ehsan Sehgal (talk) 10:11, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it should probably just be redirected to Urdu poetry. LadyofShalott 10:56, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks.Can you help to redirect it,I am still under learning position,therefore,I need your help

in this regard.I don't know that there is needed further discussion to redirect or deleted it?. Ehsan Sehgal (talk) 11:47, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Go ahead, be bold and do it. If someone objects, they'll either revert you or drop a note on one of the talk pages. At that point, you can discuss it. LadyofShalott 14:17, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I have done it,but I am not sure that I did it proper,if wrong,please help me.Thanks.Ehsan Sehgal (talk) 15:19, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I've corrected it. Take a look and see what I did to fix it. LadyofShalott 15:28, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Oh,yes,now I understand,I thought that but did not to link.Thank you very much Lady.Ehsan Sehgal (talk) 15:52, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks...

...for all your help. There's something weird happening: when I'm logged in, I can't pull up my own talk page. I logged out and rebooted, and now at least I can get to my own contributions (couldn't before), but clicking to my talk page still brings up a database error: "A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:(SQL query hidden) from within function "User::deleteNewtalk". Database returned error "1205: Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction (10.0.6.46)". Isn't that odd? And you got locked out strangely yesterday? Drmies (talk) 14:25, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

There is something going on: every time I post a talk page message I get such a notification, and "resend" is followed by an edit conflict, since the message actually was posted. Where does one report such a thing? Drmies (talk) 14:36, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
Never mind--there is a bug, apparently, and it's been reported. Drmies (talk) 14:40, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
- You're welcome, and yeah. There was something else I was also having trouble with and getting some error like that as well. Maybe the techies will figure it out soon... we can hope! LadyofShalott 18:40, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

What really sucks: finding a copyvio from 2008, when you're on a netbook without a mouse. I revdel'ed correctly, right? It seems so drastic. Drmies (talk) 03:23, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Re: Talk:September 11 attacks

I appreciate when admins stick together...I have no problem with that, but I did not call HJ Michell "stupid", nor do I believe that to be the case. I expect admins to be neutral and to not defend each other if an admin is writing snidely and condescendingly. Admins are supposed to rise above such behavior....I mean, am I supposed to just "put up with it" because he's an admin? That hardly seems fair.--MONGO 19:22, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

My NPA reminder had nothing to do with HJM's status as an admin, and everything to do with your implication that he was stupid: "You don't seem to have any ability to understand that do you?" LadyofShalott 21:43, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Help on ruling

I believe the admin "Kuru" is made a very serious mistake here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:LardoBalsamico_reported_by_User:Sillystuff84_.28Result:_page_protected.29 I've been trying to engage on his talk page. Sillystuff84 (talk) 15:03, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

He has all but admitted his mistake here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kuru#3RR_or_4RR.3F Sillystuff84 (talk) 15:15, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, arguing over the number of times you reverted is rarely useful. Just don't edit war. As far as 3rr goes, no admin is required to issue a block for edit warring. If in the admin's opinion protecting the page is the way to discourage edit warring and encourage talk page discussion, that is a reasonable way to proceed. LadyofShalott 15:24, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

That's all fair enough, but he's still mistaken, isn't he? Sillystuff84 (talk) 15:40, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

About what? Whether you made 3 or 4 reverts? LadyofShalott 15:44, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

If that is the question, then, no, he's not mistaken. LadyofShalott 15:48, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Just caught this user blanking MuZemike's talk page. I saw you had responded to a previous vandal's handiwork, and I'm wondering if this might be a sock of that user returning for more. --McDoob AU 93 17:57, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Declined speedy deletion

Why was my request declined? I see that there is a primary topic.

Chris Crocker (Internet celebrity) → 13,939 page views. 2,668 total edits. Created: 12 September 2007.

Chris Crocker (American football) → 543 page views. 267 total edits. Created: 03 November 2006.

Just look at the numbers! And Chris Crocker (Internet celebrity) is already ready to be moved to Chris Crocker. --Devin Davis (talk) 23:28, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

You certainly have an argument that CC(ic) is a primary topic, but I don't think it is quite so clear as you believe it to be. Feel free to take the dab page for a deletion discussion, but I don't think a speedy deletion was justified. LadyofShalott 23:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

aquaknow speedy deletion

Hello, im new to wikipedia and I wrote yesterday an article about Aquaknow. Im a user of this Aquaknow platform and really think it is useful for the cooperation and water community so I thought it was useful to have a description about it. However you sent it for speedy deletion for Unambiguous copyright infringement and I would like to know why? Which are the parts which I supposely copied? I sited all my references, so I really do not understand what was the problem and no one took the time to explain it to me before deleeting it! If I supposely copied sentences from the aquaknow website for the description of the web site then I can ask permission maybe to use it, but please tell me what went wrong and how I can improve it. Is it possible to have it back and change it eventually with your reccomendation, if yes how?

Thank you for your time

Hi, yes, it looked like parts of the article were copied directly from the website. You can quote (in quotation marks) short sections if needed, but simply getting permission from the website owners is not sufficient - they would have to release the website contents under our license and say so on the website. Please do ask any followup questions you may have. LadyofShalott 20:13, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Thank you very much for your answer! is there any way I can have the article back and put it on the sandbox or something and see how I can change/improve it? I do not really remember copying parts from the website ( and I am quite sure I didn't) but it is possible if you say so. I am sure I can change those parts really easily. I am also sure that an entry which contains a few copied phrases from individual websites or other sources is not considered copyright violation, but it would be not problem to put whatever sentence I supposely copied in quotation marks or change in my own worlds. I mean I could have done all those things if somebody gave me the time to do it and explain to me exactly where I was wrong. Is it still possible to do so? I hope it's not too late. If it is can I rewrite it and how can I make sure that I am doing it right this time? would you be bale to over check it?

Thank you for your time (Giorgina88 (talk) 14:16, 28 September 2011 (UTC))

Update on courses and ambassador needs

Hello, Ambassadors!

I wanted to give you one last update on where we are this term, before my role as Online Facilitator wraps up at the end of this week. Already, there are over 800 students in U.S. classes who have signed up on course pages this term. About 40 classes are active, and we're expecting that many more again once all the classes are up and running.

On a personal note, it's been a huge honor to work with so many great Wikipedians over the last 15 months. Thanks so much to everyone who jumped in and decided to give the ambassador concept a try, and double thanks those of you who were involved early on. Your ideas and insights and enthusiasm have been the foundation of the program, and they will be the keys the future of the program.

Courses looking for Online Ambassadors

Still waiting to get involved with a class this term, or ready to take on more? We have seven classes that are already active and need OA support, and eleven more that have course pages started but don't have active students yet. Please consider joining one or more of these pods!

Active courses that really need Online Ambassadors:

Courses that may be active soon that need Online Ambassadors:

Requiem

Thanks for your name change of Requiem. I would have thought the standard name would be Requiem (poem). Is that not the case? Best wishes Span (talk) 08:18, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm... it's a collection of poems, not just one. Requiem (book) is already taken, as is a bunch of stuff at Requiem (disambiguation). LadyofShalott 08:25, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I think of it as an epic poem made up of shorter poems. No worries. Thanks for the clarification. It's also a new article. I'm not sure what templates and tags new articles might need. Thanks for all your good work. Span (talk) 09:01, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

No worries, and I don't really know the topic well enough to say definitively that Requiem (poem) would not be appropriate - your case that it's an epic made up of smaller poems makes sense. I was just going by a quick look, mainly at the lead. If you want to move it to the (poem) disambiguator, I won't oppose. Thank you for your good work! LadyofShalott 09:04, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

No, I think you're right. It's clearer this way. Thanks Span (talk) 09:12, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Please could you help with Takeover Roc Nation

Hi LadyofShalott,

I have seen that you have in the past edited the article Takeover Roc Nation from its revision history, and so I have just come across the the article and a wiki editor has tagged the article as (reading like an advert), so I was wondering if you could please help me to rewrite the parts in the article that need neutrality because your a wiki administrator and long time editor, I'm sure you would have knowledge about neutrality in articles, and so that the tag can be rm from the article as the tag distracts when viewing the article Takeover Roc Nation. Thank's LadyofShalott. MarkMysoe (talk) 12:27, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

I've just done some cleanup work on it. I don't know if it's enough to remove the advert tag though. Drmies is better at that sort of thing than I am. I do have a question for you though. The article talks about being formed as a joint venture, with one of the partners being Takeover Entertainment, Ltd. Then it says TEltd. is a division of TRN. This seems contractictory to me. LadyofShalott 23:26, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Well, I think it's a pretty unattractive and weak article, that's for starters. In fact, I'm wondering how notable it is in the first place; perhaps it should be redirected. But that it reads like an ad, I don't agree, and I'll remove that tag. Drmies (talk) 04:05, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Drmies. LadyofShalott 04:52, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi again LadyofShalott,

I'm sorry for the late reply, I have already changed the article Takeover Roc Nation from a company to a record label after looking at Roc Nation's StarRoc, and by doing this it should strengthen the article Takeover Roc Nation from a weak article as it was before. Thanks for your help LadyofShalott & Drmies.

Newbie help requested

Heya LoS (and tps's). I have a newbie (Indian, ofc) on my talk page, and I simply can't think straight because of some RL stuff. I've seen you at CSD and NPP, so you were the first (friendlier) user I could think think of - can you or a tps give the notability speech, perhaps with an added note about the report he uses as a source? It's certainly a better reference then other things he could have used, but I'm not sure it confers notability. Nolelover ^Talk^·^Contribs 00:34, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Refactoring of article talk page

Have you any suggestions regarding possibly refactoring of Talk:Ezhavathy? Various IPs, who geolocate to different places, appear to have been following a pattern of inserting short, unsigned comments as headings. It is a mess and I suspect that it may continue in the somewhat idiosyncratic vein unless some sort of more "normal" format is demonstrated. - Sitush (talk) 10:14, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Oh my, that's a mess. Yes, I have some ideas about making it more standard. I'll get started, but I may not have time to finish right now now. LadyofShalott 11:53, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I am wary of refactoring but you have more clout and experience than I. It looks much better now and may perhaps set an example to future contributors. We can live in hope! - Sitush (talk) 00:14, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Please check your userpage, ma'am

Your Ladyship, Corn husk doll is now up and running again.
User:NawlinWiki deleted it back in 2009, but I accidentally unplugged my computer half-way through editing the article and I've lost the warning notice. Could you possibly send me the warning notice either here or on my talk-page? (I don't think I'm in NW's good books at the moment... we had a full-on boots and all screaming match here... well, the closest I'll ever have to a full-on boots and all screaming match, that is)
Most respectfully, your Obt Sevt --Shirt58 (talk) 11:22, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Nice, thanks! Now, I don't understand what warning notice I'm supposed to be sending or why. The original article that was deleted had next to nothing in it, and was speedily deleteable - your new version is not. LadyofShalott 11:49, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Beg pardon for telling you things you already know. When you re-start a previously deleted page you get this message on a pink background:

I just wanted to do the right thing and "contact the deleting administrator" before I re-started the article. Hmmm... hows about I contact NawlinWiki, and say, hey, despite the warning message, I've re-started the article. Problem sovled! Me are so smrat!--Shirt58 (talk) 12:32, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

OfficialBSB sockpuppetry question.

Hi Lady of Shallot, I have a small question for you. I've noticed that you had blocked OfficialBSB and his other incarnations and accused of sockpuppetry.

I have been warring with OfficialBSB on the Celebrity Juice page since about May when he was still OfficialBSB and he started to make random edits on the CJ page. I tried to reason with him on his talk pages and integrate some of his changes but he was constantly not conversing with me on the talk pages and just reverting my edits. I couldn't get through with him. After the end of the spring series earlier in the year he calmed down, but now with the new series he's at it again, making small changes adding guests that are not in the onscreen tv listings etc.. I contacted an editor Casliber and another nice user named Fatty, who are helping me revert his edits. Then I noticed your sockpuppetry boxes and all his pages and your subsequent blocking of all his accounts. But now he has rejoined as Celebjuiceuploader this week, and after a few small edits, this morning, he made a complete revamp of the page, reverting edits that the two of us were arguing about since May when he was OfficialBSB. I am positive that the OfficialBSB and CelebjuiceUploader are the same person. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CelebJuiceUploader

I was wondering if you could do something just as you did for all the other incarnations. You can also check the Celebrity Juice page. Fatty has reverted CelebJuiceUploader's latest mass edit. Maybe you can keep an eye on him? However, I just wonder what will happen if you block this account as well, will this disruptive user just register again and make the same edits over again. It's getting tiresome dealing with him. Casliber has protected the Celebrity Juice page, and users like our annoying friend are dissuading myself from actually registering an account for myself on Wikipedia. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.70.53.223.76 (talk) 22:57, 30 September 2011 (UTC)samusek2

I'm actually much less knowledgeable about this editor than you seem to think I am. I haven't followed his edits. While I opened one SPI case, it was based upon another editor's - User:Europe22 - tagging. The other block was based upon checkuser confirmation. What I suggest is that you open another SPI with the sockmaster, KirkleyHigh, and report this new version with the evidence you've presented to me. Also, please do not let that dissuade you from starting an account. (To the contrary, setting up an actual account here tend to make your editing life somewhat easier.) LadyofShalott 23:25, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Where and how would I open a new case What page should I go to? I went to KirkleyHigh and his page was blocked? Do I report it to Europe22's page? I'm totally new to all this sockpuppet business, so I'm not sure of the proper procedure. 70.53.223.76 (talk) 23:53, 30 September 2011 (UTC)samusek2

Sorry, I guess that was a little vague. OK, go to WP:SPI. In the box about maybe 1/3 the way down the page, replace the word, SOCKMASTER, with KirkleyHigh, and press the button immediately below that box. It will open up an editing page with further instructions. Fill in what's requested, and you'll be extending the case for this new incarnation. (As to one of your earlier questions, will he just create another account? Sadly, that is a likely scenario. It's a matter of playing whack-a-mole with some determined sockmasters.)

Am I wrong?

Hi,LadyofShalott,I had removed an image of Anwar Masood from Poetry,section Ghazal,with short explaining.But User:Bagworm reverted my edit,saying,Rv unexplain removal.

As I am familair of that area,I know that poet is only a comic poet of Punjabi,and a bit Urdu.In the article "Poetry",should be an image of any classical or prominent poet,not just a poet.I think that,but please asisst me in this regard,that am I wrong or not?.Thanks.Ehsan Sehgal (talk) 16:43, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Dumb fuck

Well, User:DUMFUK, who was reported at the username board. I blocked them for the name, then went to leave a message, and found this, User talk:DUMFUK. Apparently the account had been renamed or so, but the "new" name is not blocked. Will you please have a look (since you're smarter than me/I) and undo me if I did any damage? I'm throwing in the towel for tonight. Thanks for your help, as always! Drmies (talk) 04:04, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

I think it looks fine. It was not problematic to block the dumfuk name; the contributions of Mr Cake look constructive; so nothing more needs to be done, nor anything undone. LadyofShalott 12:06, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Lady. What was odd was that DUMFUK had positive edits listed among his contributions--I thought that with a name change all those edits would have been transferred to the new user name, as I think I saw with ScienceApologist's various incarnations. Drmies (talk) 14:18, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

I wonder if he did an official name change, or just created a new account? LadyofShalott 14:34, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Well, the talk page move was done by an admin. Drmies (talk) 15:23, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Huh. You're right, and the edit summary says "while renaming" which does usually result in all the edits being listed under the new name. ~~I don't know what to make of that.~~ LadyofShalott 15:39, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Actually, the old edits are under the new name. It looks like after that, the user logged in again with the old name and edited. LadyofShalott 15:41, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Urgent Help

Hi Dear Lady of Shalott.You added category to this article Azerbaijani Genocide in Iran , thanks.But this user User:Alborz Fallah wants to delete it.I am new comer, I don't know what I must do,please help me.He also couldn't tolerate a female user from Iran.They want admins to block my account.Please help me.Orartu (talk) 18:39, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

I have moved the article to your userspace where you can continue to work on it. I don't know why you think he wants your account blocked. Can you point me to a where that has been requested? LadyofShalott 18:58, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot dear LadyofShalott.You are an angel.I delete some mistakes and lies about Azerbaijan and Iran.But these two users User:Xooon and User:Alborz Fallah were plotting against me Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Orartu to continue their lying about Iran and Azerbaijan.For example:When there is no valid source about Azerbaijani ancestry of a person, they insist to put them in category:Iranian people of Azerbaijani descent.This user User:Ebrahimi-amir and me are different users.But this user User:Xooon wants to intend we are same.With respect Orartu (talk) 19:06, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Well, see User:Risker's comments on the SPI. It will be closed soon, in all liklihood. She does recommend getting a third opinion. (I'll not do that as I'm not at all knowledgeable in this area, and probably not able to read most of the relevant literature.} Do avoid calling information with which you disagree "lies"; instead provide the sources that prove otherwise.

Hi, you forgot this other masterpiece by User:Orartu: Genocide of Azerbaijani people in Iran . Kurdo777 (talk) 23:50, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi again

Hi again dear LadyofShalott.With above request for deletion, I think they want to bring their dictatorship model of repressing minorities to English wikipedia.You are witness that, yesterday I only have time to inform the admins to their plot against me.They want to take my opportunity to write article and my chance to find reliable source for my activities.They confused here with totalitarian states and they think that they could repress us , suffocate our voices and distort everything to their advantage.Thanks again for your helps.Orartu (talk) 16:20, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Orartu, I think you are being overly dramatic. People argue all the time about whether articles should be included here. Make your case - show that the appropriate sources exist, and the article will probably be kept. (If you can't show that there are reliable sources that discuss the topic, it won't be though.) Throwing around words like "lies", "dictatorship", and "plot" is not constructive. LadyofShalott 18:25, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

I know it can feel like a personal attack to have your article nominated for deletion, but it really is not, nor is it an attack on the ethnicity. LadyofShalott 18:29, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

No, I still need her to sign Bellocq's Ophelia. She's in a little session right now which I left since this is also my lunch time, and I have to run and put something on her car so she doesn't get a ticket.

Deletion of UKCM Colonial Marines page?

Hi there - I notice that there used to be a page on Wikipedia concerning the UKCM costuming group, and it's now been deleted?

19:56, 4 June 2011 LadyofShalott (talk | contribs) deleted "United Kingdom Colonial Marines" ‎ (G10: Attack page or negative unsourced BLP)

Any chance you could shed some light on what the content was, please, and why it was removed?

Thanks.

Reverend Scapegoat (talk) 21:37, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Scapey.

Suffice it to say that the version I deleted was simply a nasty piece about them; it was not a serious attempt at an article. Now, there was an earlier version (2007) that was deleted for not saying how the organization was notable. If you'd like to start with that and try to make a decent article out of it, I can put that in your userspace for further work. Just let me know if you'd like that. LadyofShalott 21:45, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks very much - I'm one of the heads of the group, and I'm not too pleased about anything nasty being up there! Don't suppose you know who it was that put up the material in question? We've had issues with an ex member slandering us in various places...

I'll see about getting a proper page up! Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reverend Scapegoat (talk • contribs) 22:57, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Genocide_of_Azerbaijani_people_in_Iran

Hi Dear LadyofShalott.Some users who are opposed to this article, find false faults to this article and they also use another language in discussion page.They make this page a place for denial of Azerbaijani people's identity in Mongol's onslaught period and other irrevalent subjects like this.Because of this article, they made Farsi wikipedia's admins to change Azerbaijani-related articles contents and convert them to anti-Azerbaijani articles.These people are not neutral about this article.I don't know what I must do?Please guide me again.Thanks a lot--Orartu (talk) 16:42, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

My only advice is to use good sources to back up your case. If people are using another language in talk pages, you can request that they use English only on this, the English Wikipedia. You may also find the following page helpful: Help:Wikipedia: The Missing Manual/Collaborating with Other Editors/Communicating with Your Fellow Editors. LadyofShalott 19:22, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

You may also wish to consider Risker's advice to you, which was to seek mediation. I think that could be useful in this regard. I think it is likely that the proposed arbitration case will be turned down at least partly because this step has not been tried. LadyofShalott 19:25, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot.I will try to find reliable sources.But in this case there is a lot of censorship.Because the Persians are dominant in Iran, they want to exterminate all documents about this.--Orartu (talk) 03:08, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Can you take a look

UML fever deleted

You have deleted the article UML fever. I don't know the reason behind deleting it, if it is copyright violation or any other then let me know. This article was written as an assignment in Object oriented modeling and design course. I have attended seminar on copyright violation on wiki and came to know lot of thoughts. So please let me know why you have deleted the article because I have to complete the most of it as early as possible. Hussain a tamboli (talk) 18:08, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

I deleted it because it was obviously a hoax. LadyofShalott 18:11, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Note that this was not strictly-speaking a hoax, but based on a single humorously intended source (Alex E. Bell, Death by UML). —Ruud 10:52, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Ah. I did not realize that, but that does not seem reason enough to undelete to me. DO you disagree? LadyofShalott 14:07, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

No, it's definitely non-notable, just to get the record straight. —Ruud 17:02, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough... although I'm not entirely convinced by your argument that it's not blatantly a hoax. Granted, I have not read the "source", but going by your description of it as humorously intended, then wouldn't an article based upon it be a hoax? LadyofShalott 05:18, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

No, it's an opinion piece in a magazine published by the Association for Computing Machinery. It's not intended to be taken literally, but that's so obvious that it's pretty hard to call it a hoax. —Ruud 08:49, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

But, there's a difference in a humorous opinion piece and an article that's pretending the humorous subject is a real one.... LadyofShalott 17:26, 14 October 2011 (UTC) Hmmm.... having just looked at the cited piece, the "article" was actually speedyable as a copyvio. LadyofShalott 17:29, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

I'd say it's a hoax only if the author intends to deceive the reader into believing the subject is real, while this article (the ACM article) presents the subject as real with the understanding that the reader will be able to infer that it's (obviously) not. For the Wikipedia article that perhaps could have been less obvious to some readers. —Ruud 21:17, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Billy No Mates

I am sorry but your your turn has come round once more. Perhaps surprisingly soon but, as we say in the UK, I am a "Billy, no mates" (or not many mates, at any rate). I am having some difficulties with a dynamic IP contributor at Bunt (community), who is insisting on adding clearly unsourced and probably unverifiable material. I've chased them around once or twice on user talk pages and their last edit summary suggests that they may have picked up one of those messages, but how the heck do I deal with what is now becoming an obvious lack of appreciation regarding what is/is not ok per WP policy when dealing with a dynamic IP? I could take it to RFPP but that seems a little extreme. It seems obvious to me that this is one (or perhaps two) misguided people, and I do not particularly want to use a hammer to crack a nut. - Sitush (talk) 00:34, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Well I dropped a note on the talk page of the most recent IP, and I semi-protected it for a week. LadyofShalott 19:22, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I could have taken it to WP:RFPP but was uncertain as per my original msg. Chasing down ghosts, which is how this situation appears to be, is definitely an issue. I have had a think & may try to encourage registration should the situation arise again, although that also involves chasing a ghost. It is a poor article in any event, and one that is on my to do list. - Sitush (talk) 00:26, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

List of fictional characters with surname Carpenter - input request

Hello,

I would like to have your input on the following and the pending deletion discussion. Pro or con is welcome.

Last year I was advised the Carpenter surname page was getting too big and needed to be split up. See: Talk:Carpenter (surname) page. And two lists were split off of real and fictional people. Others were also done. While I was on a wiki break the List of fictional characters with surname Carpenter was deleted without discussion. Later I requested the person to restore it. The page was then immediately cited as an article for deletiion.

Again, any input pro or con would be welcome on the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional characters with surname Carpenter

K-1 Request

Hi there. I'm Steve. I noticed your friendly undeletion userbox the other day, and I was wondering if I could get the content of some deleted articles put into my userspace? Please? I want some of the content for a higher-level fight. These are the former articles: K-1 World Grand Prix 2008 in Amsterdam, K-1 World Grand Prix 2008 in Hawaii, and K-1 World Grand Prix 2008 in Taipei Thanks in advance

P.S. You have a terrific username! I'm a big fan of the original by Tennyson, and I think Loreena did a great job singing it.

Please assist me

Hi,LadyofShalott,I need your help regarding to Pir-e-Kamil,please take a look at view history and discussion page.I added some references which are removed by User:WLU and he tagged notability and attend to ask proposed deletion.Umaira Ahmad is a notable writer and her books have got awards,it means her work is notable and as I remember since 2010 for notability at least one reference is needed.I don't think there is even need of notability tag?.Please assist me in this regard.Thanks.Ehsan Sehgal (talk) 12:41, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Well, I've looked in the databases available to me that I generally use to help establish notability of a literary work... and found nothing. I'm also not finding anything useful in Google Books. Can you find some more reliable sources about the book? Are there - maybe in Urdu - more published reviews of it? LadyofShalott 13:31, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Per WP:NOENG non-English sources would be acceptable if they exist; in this circumstance I would want to be very careful about neutrality and promotion. I'm surprised there are no noteworthy reviews given the buzz seems to be it's a good book. Ahmad's own page is pretty sparse on sources and indications of merit as well, meaning I don't think the book would pass WP:BK on the basis of criteria 5. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 17:27, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Lady,I have a bit problem with my laptop,now I am using my very old computer,it does not work fast.I am trying to search the reliable sources.I assume good faith and I am careful about neutrallity and promotion too.I follow to improve the articles not only tagging.

Lady,I ask you this question the Umaira Ahmad is known with full name and Ahmad is not a surname,I have seen videos on youtube,some tv,channels talking programms,they called her with full name or only Umaira,and she is more known Umaira than Ahmad.In this regard what I understand as WP:SURNAME is different than what User:WLU understanding.I don't know here can be used WP:common sense.He seems to persist reverting all my edits.please fairly check it.Thanks.Ehsan Sehgal (talk) 18:30, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm willing to wait a reasonable amount of time on a deletion discussion so don't worry about a nomination in the next week or so. However, eventually sources must be provided otherwise it is completely reasonable to nominate the page for deletion (and please avoid personal comments - even if I was doing this out of pure spite, which I'm not, anyone who wants to edit wikipedia must obey the policies, guidelines and consensus).

Regards SURNAME, most famous people are referred to by full names (Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Jimmy Carter, Omar Sharif) during the introductory parts of interviews and the like, switching to surnames afterwards. The page should use a surname, whether it's Umaira or Ahmad. I am aware that some cultures place the surname first followed by the family name, I'm not sure if Urdu-speaking Pakistani people are one such group. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 19:53, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

That has never been my impression of Urdu naming customs, but I am most definitely not an expert. LadyofShalott 20:05, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

See the unsourced Pakistani name article, but that doesn't mean SURNAME gets ignored. I have suggested using Ahmad. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 12:11, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

RFC/U advice

There is no need to get involved with the detail, but may I ask a question of you? If I mention threads on user talk pages in an RFC/U then would I be correct in thinking that I need to notify the "owner" of the respective talk pages when the RFC/U is filed? More importantly, do I need to get some sort of consent in advance? I am finding this entire process somewhat baffling & have a suspicion that some of the RFC subpages may be sending me round in circles! For various reasons, I am compiling this one off-wiki, although I will have to transfer it to my userspace on-wiki at some point in order to tweak the thing and seek advice/comment. Lastly, and something akin to the number 42, why is life so complicated?- Sitush (talk) 23:42, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

I've only been heavily involved in one RfC/U, and the only user talk page to which we referred was that of the subject. If there's a specific rule about notifying someone whose talk page you're using, I'm not aware of it (entirely possible given my limited experience in this area), but it seems the polite thing to do. If you do that and someone uses it to accuse you of canvassing, point to this discussion.

As to your final question, let me quote a close friend of mine, in her combination of a couple of quotes: "'All will be well' and 'tomorrow is another day'". LadyofShalott 00:01, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I have been thinking Gone With The Wind for some months, but JoN is new to me - an article that I shall read in full tomorrow, when it is indeed another day. Thanks for the comments. I agree that even if there is no formal stipulation it is still courteous to notify, but I am hopeful that I am not trangressing by not pre-notifying. I guess I am taking my lead of WP:ANI etc. My purpose is not to drag others in unnecessarily but to ensure that the actual RFC/U itself all happens out in the open & at one venue, which itself forms a part of the RFC. Chicken and egg. It is a complex issue and unfortunately it is likely to involve quite a few user talk pages (and next to none of them will be mine). I am grateful for the opinion but obviously you are not bound by it. It is my neck on the line, not yours, and it is not a venue that I am particularly keen to visit. I may yet not bother, but I will keep the draft on file regardless. - Sitush (talk) 00:14, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

College dating

Hey Lady

In re this edit, the statement in your edit summary may be WP:TRUE, but the fact is barely mentioned—and unsourced—in the date rape article. My view is source the (in fact mainstream) view that it is prevalent at colleges and universities in the target article, so the link is more justifiable.

In the meantime, why don't you chime in at the NPOV noticeboard thread on the article?

Thanks, ^Bongo_matic 16:34, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Hey Bongo, I may be being dense here, but I'm not sure if you are saying you agree with me about adding it or not. LadyofShalott 16:38, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I agree with your adding it. However, the target should have more content (and sourced) linking date rate to colleges and universities. Everyone with any tangential familiarity with the topic knows the link, but that's not the standard. ^Bongo_matic 22:25, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Twitter as source

Hi, just wanted to check if Twitter can be used as a source? --MSalmon (talk) 17:03, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

It depends. I think it can be used as a primary source to support that A said "blah" about him/her/itself. It's lousy and should not be used if there are better sources available. LadyofShalott 17:08, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

And in regards to Big Brother 2011 Wk 7 noms? --MSalmon (talk) 17:09, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I would think so if it's the official BB Twitter (as much as I hate to say that). WP:TWITTER spells out pretty much what I said above. LadyofShalott 17:13, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Ok, but we should put the nominations in the notes section because technically no housemates nominated --MSalmon (talk) 17:14, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Care to comment

I actually don't see how it's profane, etc either ... (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 22:42, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

You have email. LadyofShalott 23:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Wow. Good block. Drmies (talk) 14:11, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Malik Shabazz

I don't know exactly what happened and I don't really want to know. What I do know, though, is that I want to thank you for the steps you took to protect Malik Shabazz's talk page from an onslaught by IP accounts. Eight IPs - how many real human beings do you think that equals? Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:22, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

There's a thread at ANI which gives more information. I really came in after the fact. The ANI thread is about the most recent onslaught, which had been dealt with. I just did some cleanup of the earlier attack. It is nasty. I have no idea how many real people are invovled - must be some sort of coordinated attack. LadyofShalott 14:55, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
