edit summary on Benny Hill

hi CBT, regarding ur edit[1] of Benny Hill, the edit summary reads "remove stupid literally". i just wanted to bring to your notice that such a judgmental tone in edit summaries is deprecated (pretty strongly) in wikipedia and is best avoided. cheers, Doldrums 15:16, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, yes. I remain of the opinion that "his Television show has literally been seen" is absolutely awful, appalling use of language, but I'll concede that there were probably less iritable ways to point this out.--Cherry blossom tree 15:39, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

no arguments about "absolutely awful, appalling use of language", just don't say so in the edit summary. :) Doldrums 15:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RFC Response

hey, thanks for taking the time to respond to the RFC for Fox News. Any help you would be willing to offer to cleanup the project (and keep some people from burying/ignoring controversy) would be appreciated. I might try to setup some more structured organization soon. Also, I accidentally posted this to your User page (instead of user talk). i couldn't move it across namespace, so I blanked your user page and moved it here. End result: you now have a created (but blank) user page instead of none at all (redlinked username). I'm really sorry about that, just wasn't paying attention. :( /Blaxthos 22:29, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indian Army Act, 1911

Hi. Back in August you put a comment on the talk page for the List of Acts of Parliament of the United Kingdom Parliament, 1900-1919 that the Indian Army Act, 1911 appeared to be missing from the list. Just to let you know that this wasn't actually a British Act of Parliament, but rather legislation enacted in India by the Governor General. Cheers, Silverhelm 17:01, 20 November 2006 (UTC).[reply]

April Fool's Main Page 2007

Hi Doldrums. April Fool's Main Page 2007 project affects all five changeable sections on the mainpage. To have an April Fool's featured article appear on the mainpage on April 1st, some of the Wikinews mainpage rules may need to be bent. Thus, the project may need the approval and agreed upon cooperation from those running the Wikinews main page section. If would be great if at least one of the Wikinews administrators agreed to be a point person for the Wikinews aspect of the April Fool's Main Page 2007 project. Mostly, this would involve deciding which Wikinews mainpage rules could be bent, reviewing proposed Wikinews mainpage content to ensure it meets Wikinews mainpage requirements, and ensuring that this content made its way to the mainpage on April 1st. Please respond here. Thanks. -- Jreferee 18:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Salim Ali postage stamp.jpg)

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

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Nadine Gordimer

Hi Doldrums - nice approach on the Nadine Gordimer article. Maybe it will help to resolve the longstanding dispute between those of us (like me) who found this incident non-notable and those who thought that the race of the parties made it notable. --Lquilter 19:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is fair to say that the discussion on what to include (if anything) about the robbery of [Nadine Gordimer] has gone on for several months and has gotten us nowhere. Each side is still arguing its original points, and there seems to be no spirit of cooperation here, or willingness to compromise on key issues. Lquilter has repeatedly mentioned that mediation might be a good idea, and I must agree with her. Mediation is a voluntary process, and its results are non-binding. If both sides do not agree to the mediation, then it will not occur, for its results would then be meaningless. It is, however, the next step toward Arbitration, which is binding. The goal of mediation is to arrive at a solution that is acceptable to all parties. It is not to force one viewpoint on others. It is very important that all sides agree to this mediation. I am in the process of drafting the Request for Mediation. If you have a problem with mediation, or do not wish to participate, please speak up now at Talk:Nadine Gordimer#Mediation. Andyparkerson 23:53, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Nadine Gordimer, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.

I read through the whole thing and did not find supporting material. Would you mind showing me a quote where the material is supported in the reference?

Thank You, I have gone through the policy and do accept that my initial post (it was unsigned) may have not adhered to the guidelines in the strictest sense of the word.

However, I am clear enough that my other insertions were all in line with the policy. Infact, it convinces me that the current page, which you all have so zealously protected isn't what it should have been, if guidelines were to be implemented in toto.

As far as re-insertion is concerned, it was only a logical response to mindless edits. The talk continues on the page but the responses in no way answer the queries which I have raised203.112.84.138 13:42, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gordimer and policy

Hi. I've taken a strong line over the last few hours in relation to the BLP, NOR, and NPOV violations at the Gordimer entry. As a consequence the entry has been blocked for a week by user Durova (who did not take a position on the dispute). If you read through the section "BLP and notability" on the Gordimer talk page, you will see how I understand the policy issues. It is my belief that, having established the violations, it is up to editors to insist on enforcing policy correctly. I thus do not favour mediation, in particular given the lengthy history of the dispute. I have also referred the entry to the BLP noticeboard. I hope you will examine my arguments, find them convincing, and support enforcement of policy at this entry. FNMF 09:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Global perspectives task force

Hi Doldrums. I noticed your recent and excellent work on the Fox News article, and wanted to alert you to a task force that I thought might be up your alley. As part of the Project on countering systemic bias, a task force is getting underway to ensure that key articles (espeically politically controversial ones) reflect a truly global perspective. Discussion about the task force is here. If you're interested, please drop by, share your thoughts, and consider getting involved. Cheers! --Mackabean 06:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assistance Requested

Dear Doldrums,

I am requesting your assistance as a eurocentric user is taking a colonial view of indian history and biasing indian articles. The worst example is on the indo greek page where that user knitted together 3 maps (2 of which are inaccurate and mischaracterized) and stated that it was representative of the Indo Greeks[[2]]. He is commandeering indian history and aggrandizing greek influence by using obsolete and discredited sources.

He created a map showing all of northern India (upto maharashtra and as far as bengal) under the Indo greeks.
He has wrongly credited foreign influences ranging from astronomy (he originally wrote that the greeks gave india astronomy) to mahayana buddhism
He wrote that the greeks helped chandragupta conquer the nandas (contradicted by eminent scholars)
He has routinely committed original research by interpreting primary sources as he sees fit (i.e. kushan empire map)[[3]]
He attacks users who try to reason with him and violates agreements

I do not want a biased indian nationalist version of history. I want a fair treatment of it that is representative of mainstream views--something which is difficult considering the colonial views that have hurt it (AIT, etc). As such, I have appealed to wikipedia administration. Please consider adding to the indo greek talk page as a show of support. Users vastu, pavanapuram,windy city dude, and mahitgar have already called that contributor's practices into question. Your assistance and voice would be welcome. Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Modified

WP:BLP does not talk about sarcastic remarks on talk pages. But since you think that it violates BLP, so i have removed my sarcastic remark. The bit about missionary organisation is true and further explanation is given in the main article of Californian Hindu textbook controversy.

Fair use rationale for Image:Richmal_crompton_on_Woman_Behind_Just_William_book_cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Richmal_crompton_on_Woman_Behind_Just_William_book_cover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 18:02, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

charlie rose/arundhati roy

Hi Doldrums,

I just revised and restored a piece about rose and roy under controversies on Roy's entry. I hope you are satisfied with the changes, but if not, I request that you please modify the entry instead of outright deleting it. Censorship of a writer -- especially an Indian writer -- by an interviewer from a former (some would say current) Empire is a significant controversy and I was honestly aghast when you wrote that the notability of the event wasn't clear. What could be more controversial in writing or in subjects relevant to Roy's life (democracy, free speech, activism) than censorship?

Best, md

India RfC, controversial tag

Hi Doldrums, I noticed from the India talk page that you're opinion is that the controversial tag be removed because this is unneccessary. I have reinstated the tag, without offence, for reasons I have outlined in the talk page. I do not wish to appear an Oxymoron, byt the Indian independence movement is a slightly controversial topic, with different people and organisations holding the opinion that contributions of those outside the congress have largely been ignored. Also, the current version is highly favourable of the Congress only view point, as well as reduces an enormous movement into five lines. You will also see that past attempts by editors to improve this section in an NPOV and reliable way has been opposed strongly, I believe for the same reasons I have cited above. As such, I'd like the tag to stay because this will invite a discussion and resolve the RfC. Hope you see my point. With regards.Rueben lys 10:49, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of George Vasilakos

A tag has been placed on George Vasilakos requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Gavin Collins 07:49, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OIT

I think there are numerous pages in the history of the page which better represent the theory than Dab's whitewashing. Please look through the history to pages around December-January 2006-2007. Like this version had loads of information which was rejected because apparently it was written by authors that don't deserve a mention. But the OIT is a fringe theory and fringe authors are the only ones who have anything good to say about it, so surely their say should be considered in an encyclopaedia.

But you know witzel is the Editr-in-chief of electronic Journal of Vedic studies. That means he has absolute control over what he wants to publish. That qualifies it to be WP:SPS.

duplicated von Mansfeld biography?

Hi, Doldrums. Yes, I my opinion Peter Ernst, Graf von Mansfeld the elder refers to Peter Ernst I von Mansfeld-Vorderort. He had a son Ernst von Mansfeld, also called Peter Ernst II von Mansfeld-Vorderort. So, the usage of "the elder", and "the younger" is obvious.
