Kodaly

[edit]

Thanks for finishing the AfC on his Te Deum. 'DGG (at NYPL)' (talk) 21:39, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing!
If you still visit the library or access periodicals, could you do me a favour? Most of the refs in Te Deum (Kodály) are to dead trees. Yet many of the refs were "ibids" that got scrambled up when the OP ran a ref correction tool. I am sure I made matters worse when I cleaned up the article for mainspace. (I guessed that all the ibids were to the Cecil Gray article, which is almost certainly not correct.) Could you have a go at correcting them, please? The OP may be in a better position to do this, but I don't think they are active on Wikipedia.

Request undeletion of Sophie (software)

[edit]

Hello Stifle, Six years ago you closed the AfD on this article, which was deleted on notability grounds. Since 2008, several more papers appeared in the peer-reviewed literature.

ITV vandal

[edit]

Hi. Thanks for catching this one early. I'm very convinced this is the IP-hopper I've met several times before -- see here. Nick Levine (talk) 12:45, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is funny you say that: I didn't catch anything - I actually accepted the changes to Catchphrase (UK game show). I merely asked them to use edit summaries. That is a troublesome pattern you have been watching. How do you tell the fact from the hoax? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 12:59, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Their editing pattern stands out. You saw something was odd even though you didn't know you were looking for it! I've been watching this for about a month but it goes back further - see my talk page for examples and also for discussion I've had with other editors about how/whether to revert. See also here.
The pattern is: BT Openzone IPs, edits every 5-10 minutes over several hours (today being an exception to this!), apparently random edits to ITV related pages, nonsense edit summaries (sometimes proveably so, eg when all the summaries say Undid revision 583137604 by My name is not dave and all cite the same revision number). I half suspect the damge is automated, but can't think how to go about testing that out. And all this said, it's possible I got this one wrong. In which case the human concerned will do something different (talk to me, perhaps?) Nick Levine (talk) 13:13, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Incompetent editor who pushes fringe views" thread on ANI: looking for suggestions for way forward

[edit]

Since you commented just once on the thread on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents and seem pretty disinterested and concerned for the welfare of RetProf I'm coming to you for advice on what to do next - because that discussion is going nowhere and the problem isn't getting resolved.

As I see it, RetProf's problem has two dimensions. The first is that he's concerned over a revert on Gospel of Matthew that I made some time ago. Here's the diff: edit. In a nutshell, he'd put in material saying that there's an ancient mss of GM which includes a superscript to the effect that Matthew the Apostle wrote it. RetProf calls this an "attestation", which is a good-enough term.

RetProf says he wants a source - for the deletion, apparently. I've tried explaining that I can't source a deletion, and, more to the point, the class of attestations to which his example belongs is well known to scholars, but uniformly dismissed - they all derive from a single tradition, so have no independent vale, and the weight of other evidence is that the gospel can't be by Matthew, and was written in Greek. I believe I've pointed him to books saying this is the current consensus, but it seems to have no impact.

Anyway, that's what sparked this current row. The deeper problem is that RetProf keeps returning to this over months and years - he makes an edit inserting Hebrew Matthew, someone deletes, he goes away for a while, than months later he does it again. That's not a problem I'm worried about, but it's what the other editors are concerned about - they just want him to stop.

So what to do? I think the dispute processes have hardly been touched, to tell the truth, because he always backs off at any sign of resistance, only to come back months later. So what's the best step? An external mediator? If so, how is one found? PiCo (talk) 01:33, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am disinterested, to a degree. I recall reading many years ago that Matthew was possibly written by a Jewish person or Aramaic speaker for a Jewish audience, though I don't know if or how it should be reflected in the article.
My concern isn't for the welfare of any of the editors involved, but for the quality of the article. An ArbCom hearing is likely to leave everyone that cares one way or the other banned from the article (or at least distracted for the duration of the hearing) and will only address behaviour not content. In my humble opinion, it is always a mistake to jump directly from an argument to a request for arbitration without exploring the alternatives.
In my opinion you are right: you can't source a deletion.
I get an impression, which might be mistaken, that misguided opinions of the Church Fathers are dismissed as fringe theories by some editors. I think some middle ground could be found on that aspect. After all, nobody believes in the religion of Ancient Egypt any more, yet it has Wikipedia articles. (Perhaps the same could be said for Pelagianism or Flat Earthers or any number of unusual or obsolete world views.)
Isn't there a register of volunteer mediators somewhere on Wikipedia?
I have notified RetProf about this conversation.
--Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 11:34, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I believe that if I write @RetProf the system automatically will alert him that he's been mentioned.I hope.
Anyway, the ANI discussion seems to have reached a pretty good conclusion - half a dozen or more people, including RetProf, have said they favour formal mediation. My own note has added that the mediator should be asked to provide a binding resolution, and that the parties agree to accept arbitration if they can't accept/keep the resolution.
On the matter of Gospel of Matthew, the lead of the article and the section on composition jointly say that the author was anonymous and Jewish and wrote for a Jewish Christian audience (meaning a community of Jews who accepted that Jesus was the messiah - something the majority of Jews did not do in the late 1st century and which led to the final split between Jews and Christians). All with reliable sources supplied. ::RetProf's sources are reliable too - it's just that he keeps misreading and misrepresenting them, not deliberately, but because he's just not very good at critical reading, despite his claim to be a retired academic. Yet when I look at his user page it says he spent his career working in Africa, including with the anti-apartheid movement. I like him, and that's why this is personally painful.
I'll leave a message on his talk page suggesting he start approaching people on the mediator panel - best if he chooses his own mediator, as I'm pretty sure he's going to get the rough end of the pineapple and I don't want him feeling he's been framed.

Thanks for your patient attention explaining the AfD and reading the talk page, Peripitus.
I agree about the learning period. I like to help newcomers understand us, because aaronsw's research said that most of the encyclopedia text is written by the long tail of hundreds of thousands of editors who are only interested in 1 or 2 articles, rather than the few thousand at the core who make the most edits. Patient, specific explanation from the horse's mouth helps a lot. Even if she never comes back here, I bet she will tell others about her experience.

Thank you for your comments on my draft of the Project AGORA article and UC-HiPACC article

[edit]

Possibly to clarify, I am a contractor for University of California, Santa Cruz, specifically, hired to be webmaster of the University of California High-Performance AstroComputing Center ("UC-HiPACC"). UC-HiPACC is a co-sponsor of Project AGORA.

As to the AGORA Project, I think it's notable that http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.2669 shows that the technical paper describing the project has been accepted by the Astrophysical Journal Supplement, a prestigious scientific journal. As displayed at the arxiv link, the authors of the paper are Astrophysicists from 27 institutions around the world, and thus the project is vast in scope. The technical paper is footnoted in my draft Wikipedia article, as are references to two other outside publications, Universe Today and Science Daily. There is a website for the project, https://sites.google.com/site/santacruzcomparisonproject/, referenced by footnote, managed by an astrophysicist at the California Institute of Technology, which is not part of the University of California. The project is supported by the National Science Foundation, among others, according to this website. I would think that students of Astrophysics should be able to find out about this project so as to keep abreast of such a major developments in the field. I will happily leave it to the wisdom of the Wikipedia community to decide, based on its merits, the worthiness this article for inclusion in the Encyclopedia.

As to the UC-HiPACC article, I will follow the procedures you outline for suggested changes or updates to the article.

Thank you for taking the time to help me with my Wikipedia work! Sjzaslaw (talk) 18:27, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Sjzaslaw: Steve, it is good to hear from you. I downloaded the paper a few hours ago, and, though I didn't read it all, I appreciate the eminence and scope of the enterprise. Students of astronomy might learn about AGORA better in the journals and from your website. I would like it to be in Wikipedia, but I fear that without significant coverage outside the Universe Today piece, it is likely to quickly be the subject of an Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion discussion. (I didn't mention Science Daily as it simply republished UCSC's press release.) As far as I can tell, lots of big ideas have one paper in a major journal, and their articles get deleted. It seems odd when we have articles on Pokemon characters. If you don't mind a wider debate and the risk of deletion, then by all means get the full copyright release, or rewrite, and see if an AFC reviewer will accept the article. Until then I'll move it from the AFC queue for you to work on (you should soon see an automated message about that.) --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 18:52, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello Hroðulf. 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).[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Judge advocate, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Judge Advocate General. 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.

Help

[edit]

Hi Hroðulf , thanks for your assistance with getting Community_First_Credit_Union merged. Its much appreciated on our end as we're only trying to do everything correctly. One question I have is that The Red pen of Doom keeps removing cited and referenced content (see change log) and hasn't given any explanation as to why he/she removed it. The information is consistant with other WP:Corp's who are similar. I would like to undo but would be appreciated if you could have a quick look? (obviously happy if they were removed within any guidelines, but would like to get feedback if they were)

BP logo and updates

[edit]

Hello Hroðulf, back in June you responded to my request to make some updates based on the new BP Annual Report. I am wondering if you would be able to return and help with the remaining requests, as these have as yet not been answered. Also, a few weeks ago, the BP logo was removed from Wikimedia Commons. I have uploaded a new logo to Wikipedia as a fair use file and am looking for help in adding that to the infobox. Are you able to help? Thanks. Arturo at BP (talk) 20:52, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:Flag of the Ulster Nation.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Peptides in skin care, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:35, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Peptides in skin care

[edit]

Hello, Hroðulf. It has been over six months since you last edited your Articles for Creation draft article submission, "Peptides in skin care".

In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Peter Sam Fan 19:52, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
