Agta (Mythical Creature)

  • When looking for information on this subject I discovered you deleted an article called "Agta (Mythical Creature)" in April 2009.
    I lived in the Philippines for three years and did not become aware of this cultural belief in this super natural being until it was almost the time I moved back to the United States. Looking for information on this subject I stumbled onto Wikipedia and discovered that YOU had erased the article I was looking for.
    Please restore the article immediately because I do not know how to do this. If you don't believe this is a mythological creature in the Philippines among Cebuano speaking people I have a reference from Dictionary of Cebuano Visaya by John U. Wolff.
    Because you erased the article I was seeking I am unable to find more information on this subject. Dr CareBear (talk) 23:06, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
  • It is now at Agta (mythical creature). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:41, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Question for Anthony Appleyard - Archiving User Talk

  • How do you archive or move your user talk page under a date based history the way you do? Please teach me how to do this. Thanks. Dr CareBear (talk) 23:35, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
    1. Move the talk page to the archive name.
    2. Cut-and-paste the permanent matter and any current discussions back to the talk page.
    3. If necessary, put a link to the new archive page in the table of links to archive pages.
    4. Put the {{archive}} tag at the stop of the new archive page.

Topics on Philippine mythology and folklore

At the bottom of the article called Agta (mythical creature) there is a section called "Topics on Philippine mythology and folklore" wherein there is a subsection of Philippine Mythical Creatures wherein Agta is the very first. Could you please fix the link that this Agta link directs to so that it directs to Agta (mythical creature) and not Kapre? Because I do not know how to do it. Thanks. Dr CareBear (talk) 02:03, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to Anthony Appleyard

Thanks for the good job cleaning up and formating the Agta (mythical creature) article to further remove possible copy right infringement. Good job. Dr CareBear (talk) 02:41, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

dc Talk

Your closure here is frankly a bit surprising. Why create a pointless disambig page? The band is obviously the main subject, not their album; a hatnote would have been suffice. Secondly, I don't see the consensus to move the band name to capital "DC"; it's an MoS guideline, but a couple of people disagreed and wished that IAR could be implemented in this case. JamieS93 18:44, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I went ahead and moved DC Talk (band) to DC Talk, with a hatnote to the album, since disambiguation does not seem necessary and would only cause more broken links (Special:WhatLinksHere/DC_Talk). Regards, JamieS93 17:05, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Bill Barker (police officer)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Bill Barker (police officer). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bill Barker (police officer). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:11, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Kyokushin-Kan Karate Pakistan issues

  • Howdy! I noticed you removed the speedy deletion request on this article in favor of the AfD. In the AfD discussion you stated that it's not a copyvio if the same person wrote the Wikipedia article and the article at the external site. WP:COPYVIO says that unless the source of the material is in the public domain or has a compatible copyright license that it "is likely to be a copyright violation." The site where the material matches has no mention of being in the public domain or of having any specific copyright license. WP:COPYVIO goes on to say that in the case where "all of the content of a page appears to be a copyright infringement" and if no "older non-infringing version of the page exists" "the page will normally need to be deleted." This is how I have seen this type of problem handled in my limited experience.
    So, I'm trying to clarify the reason for declining the speedy deletion and how I should have best handled the situation. Was the decline simply because the page had already been nominated for deletion? Rather than stacking a speedy deletion on top should I have simply marked the content with a {{subst:copyvio|url=source(s)}} tag? Or is there something else that would have been better done? Thanks for your help. --TreyGeek (talk) 15:56, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I thought that having two sorts of delete procedure current on the same article at the same time would confuse matters. The AfD will decide whether or not the article is suitable to be kept.
    I wrote "... it may not be copyvio ...", with "may" = "perhaps", as I was unwilling to come to a definite decision yet.
    If John wrote a web page, and Peter copied it into a Wikipedia article, then Peter would have committed a copyvio. But what if Peter wrote the web page and the Wikipedia page? Has he committed a "copyvio against himself?" The Wikipedia version is public use; the version in his web page is his copyright. The two contradict. I suspect that we need a ruling here.

Martin Katz

Hi. I saw you worked on the Martin_Katz_(American_jewelry_designer) article. But I believe the redirect belongs on the article about Martin_Katz the musician, not the other way around. Thoughts? Assistance please? Thanks. 38.109.88.194 (talk) 01:04, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey man, thanks for all the assistance! 38.109.88.194 (talk) 22:54, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Fixing attribution for cut-and-paste move from Avram (name) - advice needed on how to fix my mistake.

Resolved

Further to the recent discussion on Avram (name), I decided to go ahead myself and follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Repairing insufficient attribution by adding dummy edits giving attribution at the various pages, in addition to your helpful notes on the talk pages. Unfortunately I accidentally added incorrect attribution to Abram (disambiguation), inadvertently adding to the mess. Fortunately the message makes absolutely no sense, however I would like your advice on how best to fix things. I can think of the following ways:

  1. Ask an admin to selectively delete the dummy edit. While I realise such an action is unusual, it seems to me to be the cleanest way to fix things; no real edit history is lost as the edit was deliberately a dummy one. I appreciate that admins may feel such drastic action is unwarranted however.
  2. Leave things alone; since the edit summary makes no sense, it does no real harm.
  3. Add yet another dummy edit, noting that the summary of the incorrect dummy edit is nonsense. This might be done with a formal "undo" edit history or similar.

I can see drawbacks and advantages to each choice and given your experience combined with your familiarity with this case would value your input. I also realise that the creative content we are talking about on the affected material is at best strictly limited and that this case is therefore relatively trivial and any remedies should reflect this. --MegaSloth (talk) 22:18, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Flatscan has kindly reassured me everything is OK on this issue, resolving my concerns. Thanks again for your assistance. --MegaSloth (talk) 13:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

H2O Audio Page Deletion

  • Hello Anthony, Excuse me if I've got the wrong person, but I'm a bit confused. You see, it seems that the page H2O Audio keeps getting deleted, I question the deletion, prove my points of why it isn't advertising, that it is notable and back it up with tons of third party reputable references, and the page gets put back up, not by me, but by a member of the Wiki-community. Then another member of the Wikipedia community will come along, delete the page and the cycle starts all over again. This time, it seems that someone even marked me down as vandalizing the very page that I wrote. So I'm really confused as to what is going on and why my notable contribution keeps getting deleted. Would you happen to have any insights for me? Thank you so much for your time. DanaS (talk) 18:22, 18 January 2010 (UTC)DanaS
  • I have undeleted it and AFD'ed it: see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/H2O Audio. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:59, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Thank you! I do welcome any help on how to make it more objective or notable.

Hala'ib Triangle

Hello. A couple of days ago, at my request, you moved the article Halayeb Triangle back to Hala'ib Triangle. It had been moved by an editor without discussion, and I pointed out that "Hala'ib Triangle" had 145,000+ Ghits and "Halayeb Triangle" had a little over 1,200 hits. Now the same editor has once again moved it, again without any discussion, despite my informing him that he needs consensus to make the move.[1][2]

Would it be possible to move it back again, and warn the editor that he shouldn't make undiscussed moves, and needs to get consensus? Thank you. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:57, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

FYI, User: Malik Shabazz took care of the move back. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:20, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Help

Hello. Can you help me? User:Mackay 86 moved Korean Empire to Greater Korean Empire without any discussion. The common name of the empire is Korean Empire. So I tried to move it back. But I made some mistake, so I can't. I read Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, and {{db-g6}} can be used in this case. Can you delete Korean Empire for techinical reason? Thanks --Historiographer (talk) 02:13, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Category:Catholic Liturgical Rites

Dear A. While editing a member of this category I have become aware that many such members' page-titles are capitalised, non per wiki style, as indeed is the cat itself and perhaps other related articles. This appears to be, at least partly, because they are derived directly from the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia, which is in general heavily overcapitalised, and in fact over-punctuated.

However, I am unable to move some of them because correctly-styled redirects already exist. Now, to digress, you will be relieved to hear that I have finally understood the term "parallel history", though I must say it's a very unfortunate term as for a long while I took it to mean the exact opposite of what it does mean. Anyhow, there are quite a few pages to move and I shall not be able to move some of them myself. Could you look over the cat. and let me know if you agree there's no reason why phrases like the above should be UC? I am quite happy to do what I can, but it may end up with quite a few pages at the holding pen. Please advise at my talkpage.

(Sorry I missed the Barker discussion above, though I think the outcome is fair and appropriate: please call me if reqd in similar cases, did not know you were a local lad) Regards Redheylin (talk) 03:33, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

(ec) CfD will be sympathetic to a bulk nom, if the issue is exactly the same. You might even be able to speedy them. You might also look at the creators, & make sure they are aware of the issue. But are there in fact that many? "Roman Catholic Church" is correct imo. Johnbod (talk) 06:33, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I am sorry: I am unable to account for the difficulty in understanding the matter. The problem is with articles that have been pasted directly from the Catholic Encyclopedia, of which there are dozens IN THE ABOVE CATEGORY AND SURROUNDING CATEGORIES. For example, the words "Rite", "Mass", "Prayer", "Hour", "Month" when appearing in page titles do not appear to conform to wiki style but rather to Encyclopedia style in this respect. There are many examples such as "Star Boys' Singing Procession". The problem extends to category names also; we have Category:Catholic_liturgy yet Category:Catholic Liturgical Rites. There is a large number of both articles and categories in question, I cannot possibly list them all here, but they are just a click away. However, the state of affairs does not apply to all articles in any given category, so, while I am glad to hear of a "bulk" option, articles proposed for moving would have to be identified and agreed singly. Redheylin (talk) 00:30, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

I've undone some of your talk page moves

Hi Anthony, see my message at Talk:Circumcision controversies#The archives of this talk page for my explanation. The situation with the archives was quite bizarre,, so I thought it would be helpful to write about it in case something similar happens in the future. Graham87 15:41, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
