Hey, quick question. I've recently created Strawberry Hill (Rhinebeck, New York) with plans to eventually expand it, but I'm unable to find the NRHP reference number. Is there a standard source for that? Looking forward to working on the TSP, BTW, when I get a bit more free time to start researching it. –Juliancolton | Talk 01:30, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

"Insufficient activity"? Please have a look at the revision history of ITER. There have been nine identical vandalous edits - with the first back in November of this year - and three of which were in the last 24 hours. Just because the vandalism was not reported until this morning should not be taken as a reason to allow this repeated behavior. -RadicalOne---Contact Me 18:44, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Would you mind addressing this subsection of the User:BKWSU's bogus immigration applications ANI thread? - NeutralHomer • Talk • 06:06, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. I wanted to follow up on the AIV request I made regarding MetroStar (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).
I gather that sysops are somewhat constrained as far as when they can block a user relative to how fresh their vandalism is, and with respect to how frequently they've been warned.
I'm wondering how best to deal with users such as this one, who appear to be gaming the system. By conducting their vandalism at off-peak hours and on poorly monitored pages, they are able to avoid consequences because their edits can fly under the radar for hours without notice. Further, despite a history of edits that include little more than vandalism, they are able to disguise themselves as good-faith editors by blanking numerous warnings.
I've made a log of those warnings and posted it to the user's talk page in hopes that future admins will be able to see it, but do you have any suggestions for how to deal with editors like this?
Thanks. — Bdb484 (talk) 06:37, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

About SPI and AVI, I had a question to ask if you have the time. user:bonadea recently posted a string of three accounts which appeared to be socks by implanting 'joe castillo' in articles. My question is how to handle these doctor users correctly. [1] has already been created at long term abuse and the individual behind these is has been confirmed a sock puppeteer. Should myself and others report these accounts to AIV as they come, or should we go ahead with another SPI as you mentioned on the AIV page? The user though clearly has ways to circumnavigate blocks and persistantly is coming back every few weeks or so (even after a check user). I hope i was transparent with my wording, let me know if you need anything clarified, thanks for your time. Ottawa4ever (talk) 17:47, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
It sounds for this guy like you're going to need a rangeblock, which someone with checkuser will have to determine since there are only registered accounts involved. Or an open proxy block, which again will require checkuser.
We generally prefer, at AIV, that any suspected sock issues be dealt with at SPI if there hasn't been one already, and those that are posted at AIV be really obvious. Daniel Case (talk) 20:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

DELETED PAGE?

Hello Daniel, first, I'm sorry if this isn't the way to ask for these things as I've never needed to ask before but I'm getting a little desperate and exasperated with a user who is known to be a repeat offender of edit warring. I haven't used Wikipedia long enough, only about a year of only small edits, to know how to handle these types of disputes but I noticed you had handled a block of the user in question, Doctorfluffy, before. The dispute in question is the revision of the plot section of the Trick r' Treat movie page. He has made major editing changes without discussion or consensus and has ignored repeated requests to enter the discussion on the talk page and reverts any contradictory edits to his own. I'm trying to find help from an admin. now before this gets out of control. Please help! Thank you! (Deftonesderrick (talk) 07:32, 10 January 2010 (UTC))
Only asking because I'm curious, what was wrong with the username "RitL-Steering?" -- Scarpy (talk) 01:38, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for responding to what I reported at AIV. However, I feel that, in light of what you said to me, I need to explain to you here. I'm a little taken aback that you would suggest that my reporting it was potentially disruptive, although I now understand why you said it. I certainly was not trying to be disruptive, and I want you to understand why. There has been a long history at that page of single purpose accounts coming from Something Awful and deleting any material of that sort, as a sort of prank, and of making personal attacks against me for defending it. (My user page was blanked just a little while ago, in fact.) The material the IP deleted had already been discussed in the article talk, and the decision seemed to be not to delete it, and the IP deleted it multiple times without a substantive edit summary, and continued after I templated their talk. I did not, and do not, perceive that they were really disputing content in a responsible way. I'm not disputing your conclusion, and have learned from it, but I want you to understand my intentions. Thanks for reading this. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I would be interested to know what article you are referring to when you say "Brought to my attention by a new editor after I deleted a similar article he'd created". I am trying to hunt up sources lacking in the Discovery article before weighing in on your AfD. I have found some, but haven't stopped digging. My own sense is that the article should stay but of course that doesn't much matter. The result of this may affect the others in the CFNR category as well and it would seem to me to be a shame to see them all go but I suppose if the sources for Discovery don't substatiate notabilty they could be merged into a single article.

Hey there, thought I could tap your considerable DYK experience. I found a nice little stub I want to expand, but I don't know if I can get enough info within five days or not. I thought of just userfying a copy of the article to work on as I've seen other editors do, but if I do so is just pasting the new content into the article going to cause havoc with its history or anything like that? I expect that there won't be any changes while I'm working but I certainly would check that, but is there anything I should know how to do to avoid screwing anything up for you good adminites?--otherlleft 21:44, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Good evening dear Daniel Case,
I want to complain about some Users who vandalize many articles on Wikipedia and push their own POV´s on them. Some of them are Users like User:Ketabtoon who begin to edite all articles that is somehow related with Afghanistan, it´s people or culture, despite he has no knowledge about Afghanistan and it´s history. If you look on his contributions, you will see that he is always pushing unsourced and unreliable datas on articles and delete scientific and reliable sources, mostly scholarely. Be it about Ghurids, Persian language, Afghanistan, Ghaznavids or Tajiks and many more. He corrupts many articles which is a break of Wikipedia´s law (f.ex. here 1 or 2, 3 only three of many hundred of examples). He was many times reported but somewho he still occur on Wikipedia, although all his edites were banned by many Admins. The further point is, that he is known for beeing an ultra-nationalist Pashtun from Pakistan, who do not accept western, mostly scholaric and objective sources, except sources were terms like Afghan are used, so he can jump up and use it in a wrong context. For example as for Ghaznavids or Ghurids he was keeping the term for Pushtuns, while the term Afghan was used in Britannica for the Tajik people of modern Afghanistan who are also known by the law of Afghanistan as Afghans. He makes use of this point to claim and falsify all articles about culture, history, languages, countries etc. I ask you, as a member of the Admin-Team of Wikipedia and as a represant who is doing this job to provide the world the knowledge it needs, to do something against him. He and the User:119.73.4.199 (who is a banned User and a sock of many banned accounts; User:Khampalak, User:NisarKand etc.) are known for working with eachother. All edites of both Users are not only similar, but to 100% exactly the same, the kind of their writings and the kind how they push their POV´s and even the choise of their not reliable sources. As I mentioned they work together...or User:Ketabtoon is a sockpuppet of NisarKand, User:Khampalak etc. Wikipedia would be exonarated when the Admins would block and ban them from editing. As long Wikipedia accept them, articles will turn to slippery goods on Wikipedia and lose their accurate values.
For ca. 1 year ago, I was reading an article about Abul Kalam Azad, an Indian Muslim politician of Tajik origine. However, the article was using the term Afghan to tie him with Afghanistan, since his ancestors were from Herat, Afghanistan, a Persian/Tajik city. I was looking for sources on library and on the Net to exchange the term Afghan with Perian (Tajik). When I found them, I used a few of them. But some days later, the article was falsified by the User:119.73.4.199 and User:Ketabtoon from Persian to Pashtun, but not even back to Afghan (see on the state definition of Afghan, citizen), as you can see here. He claimed that the term Afghan mean Pashtuns and not Tajik. He did not want to understand the term was used to tie him with Afghanistan, as Britannica and other not scientific and reliable sources do, when it comes to regional heritage or origine of someone or something. For Abul Kalam Azad, I had the following sources where it was stated the person´s Persian origine:
http://www.bharatadesam.com/people/biographies/freedom_fighters/maulana_abul_kalam_azad.php
The last source give in addition to the term Afghan as someone who comes from modern-day Afghanistan, his national ethnicity. But it is even interesting to see that User:Ketabtoon uses the same sources that grip on his Tajik ancestory for his Pashtun origine click here. They just jump over the sources and the sourced terms and exchange them with no opponent sources. I want to ask you, if you can give me the permission to correct the falsified paragraph in the article. I appreciate every help from your side. I am going to create an account for myself on Wikipedia and I would thank you very much if I could stand near to you. With best regards, dear friend--94.219.218.209 (talk) 23:27, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

The announcement that metered content will be started in 2011 has the potential to make article sourcing much more difficult.

Bureaucrat note: The name was judged acceptable and the change was put through, so the user should not be blocked. -- Avi (talk) 21:28, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Morse code as a user name is hardly reason appropriate to block someone; it falls under the Non-English user names. Also -- -- -- was approved at WP:CHU already by Avi; you cannot self-create a user name without a letter in it these days. Between ACC and CHU i spend quite a lot of time on user names. As a hobby i also read unblock requests. Your block of -- -- -- is very close to WP:ITBOTHERSME, evidenced primarily from the lack of a violation of the message in the block notice template. "A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account."
I do not dispute that -- -- -- is a bit of an odd name and hard to pronounce by most people who do not realise it is Morse code. The same could be said for Шизомби (which i also dealt with a CHU) or any other user name written in a script one can not read. Шизомби had been using that as his signature for years now without it being his user name. He was asked to change to the Cyrillic user name or change his signature.
Also it seems that while i was drafting this Avi declined the rename from -- -- --. [2] delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 21:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Woodsy dong peep (talk · contribs)
Hi Daniel. Before taking this up with the user, I wanted to get your opinion on whether this is even a username of concern. As you can see, User:Woodsy dong peep has the word dong as part of his username. In recent years, dong has come to be used primarily as a synonym for the word penis. See the entry at Merriam-Webster’s here.
Before taking up the matter with the user, as required by WP:BADNAME, I wanted to first see if there was even an issue. If there is no username concern, perhaps because WP:NOTCENSORED <smile>, then I can avoid taking it up with him, especially given that his responses to other wikieditors on other matters can be a bit odd, to say the least. Thanks! — SpikeToronto 07:19, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi, After reading a number of your comments-especially on the "delete Salinger thread", it seems to me that you have a breadth of knowledge about fair use. I am seeking to understand it as I am about to loose to some files at the request of Damiens. Damiens says that under fair use one can use a copyrighted photo "in a commentary about the photo itself, or in a text about photo-journalist, or in a text about photograph techniques, it does not allows us to use the image in a text reporting the news event the image captures." He further says, 'We can't freely use it to show what that man looked like." Now I was just looking at the historical images template and it says, "Use of historic images from press agencies must only be used in a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts." which I guess is Damiens argument (he doesn't really explain much). When I read that the first time, when I uploaded using that rational, I took it to mean that the picture I uploaded of David Carradine accepting his star on the walk of fame could be used to identify Carradine (the image) and not the event (the accepting of the star). Am I just not understanding English? Thanks in advance for any help in understanding this subject.--DorothyBrousseau (talk) 21:14, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Or mostly right: it appears you were correct about the double-single matter. In using undo, however, you also undid the LQs, which was the main purpose of the edit, which I must admit to some momentary vexation concerning.
I'm currently trying to work out just how much "allowable typographical alterations" one may (or must) carry out on quoted material. Presumably if it's OK to flip single and double, it's also appropriate to conform direct quotes to LQ, which I'd previously avoided doing. Smartiger (talk) 19:20, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Are you aware of the fact that the complaint to the wrong venue (it should've ANI, not ANI) filed by Je suis tres fatigue (talk · contribs) out of grudge for his recent block? I'm not defending their edit warring, but you should know that Fatigue is suspected as a sockpupet of a banned user for his disruptive and suspicious behaviors, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Michael Friedrich. He violated 3RR, and nearly violated 3RR three more times over multiple articles ever since he registered in English Wikipedia for his SPA purpose. Kuebie was harassed by the banned user back then, and presented evidences for the case. Kuebie's contribution is not a SPI unlike Je suis tres fatigue who also did the same disruptive behavior to another language Wikipedia so got blocked for one month. He also forum shopped to AN3 at the same time even though he reverted the same much. Admin EdJohnston said this as declining his third unblock request and blocked his talk apge
“ | Your pattern of edits shows extreme stubbornness. I am surpised that the current block is only for 24 hours, and I note the assertion in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Michael Friedrich that your account on the Korean Wikipedia has been blocked for a month. Since this unblock dialog is making no progress, I am disabling your talk page access. You'll be back in business in a few more hours, and I predict you have only a brief moment to show others that you can edit sensibly. Any continuation of your recent behavior will probably be the occasion of a longer block | ” |
I think your block can give a wrong sign to the disruptive SPA. I suggest you to review the case again. Thanks.--Caspian blue 19:52, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I admit I was unaware of the ongoing sock investigation, which does put these reports in a slightly different light. But I felt KS's conduct was contentious enough that a block was justified, Warnings are desirable, but not necessary. If he requests unblock and someone else grants it, I will not raise any objections. It would be their judgement call as an administrator as it was mine. Daniel Case (talk) 20:11, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
So now this involves off-wiki activity too? groan ... I may yet commute Kuebie's block, but I remind you as well that he had been blocked on for previous occasions for similar behavior. I can't easily overlook that.
I've noticed that JSTF has been seeking help from other admins as well ... the sort of thing we want people to do.
I am certainly aware that AIV reports can be made in bad faith. If someone had made a comment, I allow that I might have looked at this differently, but I still saw bad behavior. As the American saying goes, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Daniel Case (talk) 21:48, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
(outdent) OK. I think I've decided that what I'm going to do is unblock them both (at some point in the near future; I'm busy right now) on the condition that you all take it to AN/I right away and don't darken AIV with this crap again. Daniel Case (talk) 23:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
You will be happy to know that I have put an end to the current situation by blocking Jstf indef as a sock, among other things, per the comments from the other people reviewing the unblock requests he made. But please, in the future, find ways to keep situations from getting that far. There is no reason this all had to happen the way it did. If you get tired of waiting for an admin to close the SPI (and believe me, I'm not sure who really would have wanted to close that one), ask on AN. This only got to AIV because you didn't take the initiatives you could have taken to get the SPI closed earlier. Daniel Case (talk) 23:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

given that the pg is empty, can I ask you to review a requested block that was denied? Only if you have the time/inclination ... it is here--Epeefleche (talk) 04:12, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
Tx for responding. The reason I raised it is that I have seen sysops block editors who commit flagrant violations (like these last two were) after receiving level three warnings. In other words, if I had just reported the ip, and not given a level four warning as well, I've seen blocks applies for this level of vandalism (leaving profanity on two editors' talkpages) ... the fact that a level four warning was applied as well should not (imho) matter.... though sometimes (to me, without it making sense) that is the approach taken. Just my thoughts. If all sysops on that page took that approach, I would never give a warning to an ip as to which I was seeking a block ... but that would lead to a less helpful record of infractions on their talkpage, and seems not to me to make sense. Anyway .... No need to reply, but if you do you can do so here. Tx.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:22, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
Granted, there are situations where I might have blocked with less than a full complement of warnings. I admit that, after having checked the timestamp, I didn't review the edits. Really egregious (i.e., profanity and hate speech, or BLP violations) vandalism would probably get less than the usual four warnings the first time ... as long as it was recent. And if a vandal shows a history of walking up to the wire and stopping, then repeating that sometime later, s/he should be blocked temporarily because they can't keep getting away with that.
So keep giving warnings ... they do have an effect even if they don't lead to a block right away. Daniel Case (talk) 04:59, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
First I received a warning about an action that I took, which I believe to be legit, and I firmly heeded that warning and demanded an explanation from Ioeth, who warned me (and I never did get an explanation). Then shortly later I was blocked, even though I seized activity.
Here is my warning and your block information below. I still DEMAND an explanation from Ioeth for the unfair warning, and yourself for abusing blocking privileges.
Your only warning[edit]
Hi. If you continue edit warring against the use of DMOZ links in articles I will block you for disruption. You may consider this the only warning that you will receive from me. Ioeth (talk contribs twinkle friendly) 22:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Daniel, thanks for the message. Immunise is an enthusiastic young editor, but he is stubborn and will not listen to advice and strongly worded criticisms. He has been a real nuisance these past few weeks, particularly by creating poorly —and often erroneously sourced—lists of medical conditions; most of which either have been nominated for deletion or have been deleted.
If you have the time to read his long Talk Page, (which you might have already read), you will see the problems he has caused. He does not seem to understand the damage caused to the project by saying that a relatively benign viral infection is "closely related to smallpox" for example.
I and Pdcook finally felt that we were getting through to him when he agreed that a week's Wikibreak would be good for him. But shortly after, he continued to add unsourced content. I don't like to block editors and I rarely do so. But on this occasion I think it was justified and that one week was in order given that Immunise had already agreed to stop editing for this time.
I am still not convinced that Immunise understands the importance of our policies and I think that conceding to his request will undermine all the efforts that have been made by me and others to get him to read and adhere too them. I blocked him to protect Wikipedia and I think the project still needs this protection. I know this is a cliche but, if Immunise is as serious about Wikipedia as he says, he will thank me one day for this. My very best wishes to you, Graham.

DC,
Thanks for the comment on the hook. I was (and am) obviously struggling with it. Surprise has something to do with DYK hooks, so I finally went with the most surprising thing there - that it was named after the grandfather of a saint. But relevance is also important. Let me just give you the one sentence story of the article, and maybe you can suggest something.
Working class education in Philadelphia was supported by one of the richest families of the age of Robber Barrons, and part of that has been destroyed.
Well now I see that this set of "facts" is not well developed in the article - more work to do. If you have any ideas, please let me know, or go ahead and change the hook yourself.

Just came across your blocks of User:Wickland and User:68.191.163.74
I don't know where you get the idea that these are User:Sumbuddi, the behaviour is entirely different.
For one thing, 68.191.163.74/Wickland appears to be in the US whereas Sumbuddi appears to be in the UK.
For another, there is no agreement between the editors. If you see here:
there is a discussion between Sumbuddi and 68.191.163.74, and the two have opposing views.
Secondly, article edits are also different. See at Casino
edits by 68.191.163.74 - all inserting Yahoo links:
edits by Sumbuddi - inserting a link to Casinocity. [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
The fourth edit by Sumbuddi is actually to replace the Yahoo link inserted by 68.191.163.74, same thing happens here:
and here [17]
There is no evidence that the two users are the same, and given that they don't agree about anything, plenty of evidence that they are NOT the same user. I don't believe there is any basis for suggesting that they are the same person. Please take more care. 86.179.106.212 (talk) 22:30, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Daniel, from the "history" section in the City of Newburgh article it is not clear if you are the one who added Thomas Vonn to the "Famous Residents" section. If you are, I just wanted you to know that I removed him and added him to the Town of Newburgh. The Vonn family lived on Grand Avenue in the Town of Newburgh, not in the City of Newburgh. At the time Thomas was born in 1975, they lived at 636 Grand Avenue. Circa 1979, they started spending winters in Florida and apparently the family (i.e. Thomas' parents) moved to Florida full time in 2005. Thomas did not attend NFA but attended a prep school upstate.

Hi, Daniel. Just to let you know that the blocking or not of the username User:Asylummusicmanagement was brought to ANI, though you were not notified, at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Asylummusicmanagement. I'm afraid I've inadvertently involved myself in this, as I came upon the name earlier today at UAA and soft blocked it ([18]), not knowing it had already been there and been declined. My apologies; it was not my intention to second guess you. I wasn't aware that my guess was a second, so to speak. :) Feel free to unblock if you like; I won't myself because I did feel the name was problematic under policy, but I respect that you had undoubtedly had good reason for your different opinion. It isn't really WP:PARENT stuff, because I suspect that the contributor who listed it the second time happened upon it independently, but it feels a bit similar nevertheless. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:17, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
You declined this user's unblock request, stating: "Users may remove almost anything from their own talk pages. That does not extend to article talk pages. It could be the most vile, vicious hate speech and you still wouldn't be on the right side of policy. And certainly not in doing it twice." But that reasoning no sense. Facts was not blocked for removing content from a talk page, but for adding content to an article. Did you actually check the history before declining the unblock request? RolandR (talk) 18:45, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Daniel, as far as deleting comments from article talk pages goes, the talk page guidelines do actually discuss when it might be appropriate to do that and the approach that should be taken. In the how to use article talk pages section it says irrelevant discussions are subject to removal, a statement that I've seen used as a justification for deleting comments on multiple occasions. Lower down, in the others comments section, after saying editing – or even removing – others' comments is sometimes allowed, but you should exercise caution in doing so it goes on to list some instances where the removal of others' comments is permissible. -- ZScarpia (talk) 23:46, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
I certainly defer to your memory on anything having to do with the City of Newburgh. As I get older, I find I remember less and less. Furthermore, at the time of the Harry Porr dustup, I was living in Washington DC. While I tried to keep hands on regarding local developments, I wasn't as on top of everything as I wanted to be. Now that you described events, I recall asking myself at the time why James Taylor had so much clout? In any case, one thing I am sure of: the garbage proposal got nowhere. To change the subject, I find it fascinating that the Town of Newburgh article is hardly ever struck by vandalism, but the City of Newburgh article seems to be at least once a week.

You blocked this user for his username. I understand that he wrote an autobiographical article, which was speedy deleted, in part because it was self-promotional. I understand that "Stephaun elite" appears to be part of his name, or a form of it, or a name he wants to call himself. But using a version of ones own name is not in general promotional, in the absence of the now-deleted article. i could call myself User:DavidTheGreat and it would be withinpolicy, tacky perhaps but eithin policy.

Although our hey day was in the 60's and 70's we still have many active clubs giving a positive outcome to the outside social world.

Hi Daniel, I wonder if you'd like to try Dispenser's dab-solving tool to fix ambiguous links in Orange County, Ulster County, other nearby NRHP list-articles. For example, this application of Dispenser's tool to Ulster County NRHP list identifies a bunch of ambiguous place names. With your knowledge of the places, it would be easy for you to pick whether it is the town or the village or whichever version of the place name that properly applies. The tool is straight-forward to use in Firefox and perhaps other browsers besides MS Internet Explorer (where it still works but one has to cut-and-paste the entire list-article's suggested new text; I really recommend trying it in Firefox). Hope you might enjoy... cheers, --doncram (talk) 15:40, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

I noticed you added the typical comment "consider taking this to the COI noticeboard" on a bot reported username. Personally, I think it would make more sense to just move such a name there or tag "non-blatant but keep an eye on". Cue Energizer bunny for the reason why. They don't stop or think - they just do. mechamind90 04:59, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Hallo Daniel, just am doing another translation, where I find:
What's King Windsor cement, couldn't come up with an expression? Is this simply dry mortar? The only page in the web which came up was this NYT article, what helped only little, since it there denotes only the cement produced by a company with the name King (what could be the source of the name) I can't look into the source myself since those Java pages of the NY NRHPs don't work for me. --Matthiasb (talk) 11:47, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Daniel, thanks so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the article. It's strange, but I only learned of the controversy last summer, while taking an Ecopoety class.

I was trying to create an article on this NRHP listing, but the discrepancies the official database (according to Elkman's infobox generator, at least) and the nomination itself. For example, one claims it was listed in 1982 while the other says 1991. Several other statistics differ widely between the two sources. Is this a common thing you have to work around, or am I just missing something? –Juliancolton | Talk 01:02, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

> Could you be bit clearer on what might be too detailed in The Devil Wears Prada's plot summary?
Sure. I also shrank the beginning myself. I haven't seen the film, so you might have to change some details if I got them wrong.
Generally speaking, a lot of the text reads like a copy of the script. Avoid details of action and dialog, and try to figure out why things happen instead of just describing entire scenes. The story isn't especially complex, so the summary should be about 600 words. —Codrdan (talk) 16:03, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

I see you are active at WP:UAA, and area I intend to concentrate on now that I have just been made an admin. When you get a company username that also posts an article deletable under G11, do you block account creation and IP as well? I want to make sure I get it right.

I agree with you on the issue of aluminum vs. aluminium. As I understand the policy, the spelling within an article should be consistent and if the subject is of worldwide interest, should stick with the spelling established by the original author. On the other hand, an article on an American town should have American spelling and an article on a British town should have British spelling. You're more experienced than I. Am I right?

The editor, who inserted Daniel LaHue into 24 (TV series), has no edit credits other than to the DLH article and now 24. He reverted another editor and placed DLH in the 24 article. However, if you look at 24 on IMDb, his name is not listed while most of the other editors are. I think User:Daniel10600 is Daniel LaHue and editting the IMDb article which can easily be done if you pay to have their Pro account. What do you think? ----moreno oso (talk) 03:55, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Daniel,
I've taken to doing some ratings on the NRHP articles, and of course your articles are popping up all over the place. Keep up the good work. As far as my ratings go - please let me know if you think I'm doing a good job. Perhaps I do them too quickly, or I'm not strict enough. On the other hand, I always want to give your articles a higher rating, but tend to get hung up on some of them only having the one source. In any case, feedback appreciated, and keep up the good work. Smallbones (talk) 16:48, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Hei, i had disclosed personal information of mine in my user page in all but the present version. So to prevent my OUTING, i would like to have it removed from history.
Also, the very first edit i made to Wikipedia (see [28]) was about myself - I was young and foolish then :D . Now, i would like have that removed from history as well so that i can protect my privacy.
I am not sure how things work at oversight. I hope you will direct me to the suitable place, if this is not the one. Thanks and Regards. Arjuncodename024 08:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I would kindly invite you to reconsider Sarandioti's readmission in Wikipedia. His appeal seems sincere and having Sarandioti in Wikipedia actually is less disruptive for everybody than not having him. At least 20 people and IPs have been checked through CU for SPIs that user:Athenean (who commented in the talk page User_talk:Sarandioti) has filed in the last year. Every single Albanian user has been screened in the last year through CU as a sock of Sarandioti. The Albanian Wikipedians eventually quit, because it seems like being an Albanian is being a reincarnation of Sarandioti. The harassment that has been given to me personally and to a lot of people improperly accused as Sarandioti socks is unprecedented. Thank you for your attention. I hope you enjoy Wikipedia! --Sulmues Let's talk 07:40, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
I'll leave Daniel to judge by himself for all four (4) SPI investigations filed on Sarandioti Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Sarandioti/Archive: Alaricus and Kreshnik were found as socks. I was no sock, Lceliku was no sock, and 13 people were no socks in the last investigation. So 15 were innocent, 2 were socks. Sarandioti apologized for his socking activity, but what I wouldn't like is that all new Albanian users have to go through SPI as soon as they join Wikipedia in a terrible Inquisition process. Their lack of enjoyment of Wikipedia is guaranteed and the lack of coverage of the Albanian topics is evidence. --Sulmues Let's talk 12:40, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey DYK expert. I'm trying to review someone's nomination. I know the limit is 200 characters, but I don't know whether I start counting at the "t" in "that", the first blank space after "that" or the first nonblank character after "that". I know this is picky, but I'm reviewing one where it makes a difference - I don't want to push for an Alt if it is fine as is.
While I'm here, I have a question about one I just proposed. (Texas Longhorns women's basketball on 19 June )
I know the article isn't complete, as I started with 1900 and only got up to 1986, but frankly, I'm exhausted, and want to take a break from the article. My hope is that the prominence of a DYK might prompt some other readers to pick up the baton and help. However, I'm not sure this is a supported use of a DYK. If it needs to be more complete, and it take s me until next weekend, does that eliminate the possibility of a DYK (I know the nomination has to occur within five days, but I'm not sure how the counting works if it take several days to complete the article).--SPhilbrickT 17:58, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

We currently have about a dozen regular editors of Rand Paul, and contrary to 100% consensus amongst everyone except CullVernon, Vernon continually blanks major sections of the article. I see he recently regained his editing privileges, and had lost them for this very behavior aimed at the same article. He clearly hasn't learned his lesson as he has blanked sections over two-dozen times in recent days since his return. Your help would be appreciated. HpK1029 (talk) 17:43, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Daniel, CullVernon has filed a mediation case (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2010-07-08/Rand_Paul). He cited me as an involved user, which I found odd since I never actually contributed content to the Rand Paul page, I just reverted his blanking a single time. I left a note in the talk page, naming the 16 wikipedians more qualified than I to argue the counterpoint (none of whom he named in his case). Anyway, since you're so familiar with this case, I was hoping you could moderate. Personally, I'm not looking for active involvement, since all I know about this case is that CullVernon has blanked sections out of the page about 30 times, and I asked him to stop...

I wanted to check with you first on this. From what I see, the user has made generally positive edits - most of which are to the school she attends. The userpage was speedied as promotional, but if you look it's merely personal information with a weblink to her personal student website - nothing is being sold, it's merely her architecture student portfolio.

Greetings. I'm not sure is there is any guideline addressing this, but I think it would be useful to leave comments on the WP:AIV page for some period after a report is declined or otherwise discussed. I think this would avoid repeat reports from tools such as Huggle and would also provide a window of opportunity for the reporting user to see the response without having to dig into the history. I've always thought 30 minutes to an hour would be sufficient and that's what I see many other administrators doing. If the page becomes backlogged with multiple resolved items, clearing them out sooner may be necessary. Of course this is just my opinion. Thoughts? -- Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 02:15, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
I posted this with Rlevse, but realize they're away...one of today's DYK hooks reads odd, and is rather misleading overall. "... that the 2007 Indy Japan 300, an IndyCar Series motor race held on April 21, 2007, was uniquely held at Twin Ring Motegi, a non-American location?". "Was uniquely held"?? Besides reading poorly, this is only a minor deal - it just happened to be the one year that only one country other then the US (Canada often holds 2) hosted the event ... not at all a big deal.

Hi Daniel, i notice your editing in U.S. Post Office (Albion, New York) just recently. Could you possibly please comment upon the use of "U.S." vs. "United States" in article names, in the RFC open at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Naming conventions for United States federal buildings. There was previous discussion at Talk:U.S. Post Office.
I'll explain my position because i think we've had interactions about what names should be for post office articles before, and i think my views previously weren't all thought out, and/or they have changed. So you might think i have a more or less bureaucratic or whatever view, and that could be offputting about your participating, i dunno. Briefly, my own position has evolved to be that i think sources should be used for a case-by-case determination of what is the best common name for a place. However, the NRIS name, often showing "US" or "U.S.", turns out often to be an abbreviation of a more formal "United States" name appearing as title in the NRHP nomination of a place, as for the Albion one. I think in most or all of the New York State articles, the NRHP nomination is available and it's title shows a more formal name, and i support using that if just the NRIS and nomination sources are present. If there are other, current more definitive sources, then i think those should prevail. So for the Albion article, anyhow, i would now prefer to move it to "United States Post Office (Albion, New York)", while previously i might have been more wanting to keep it at the NRIS name, which I previously viewed as more definitive than i do now.
I'll mention to BD2412 that i explained this here, in case he wishes to give an alternative view. I really want your independent view, and by my commenting i am not wanting to bias anything. BD and my views started out more differently than they are now, I think.
You probably have created more DYK+ level post office articles than anyone, so you should have a say. I also hope/expect your commenting could help in resolving the RFC. --doncram (talk) 20:57, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't know about this one Daniel. Your message that his name is that of " a feared and loathed tyrant" is your point of view. I happen to share the exact same point of view, but it is still just a point of view. Our own article states "Results of a controversial poll taken in 2006 stated that over thirty-five percent of Russians would vote for Stalin if he were still alive.[259][260] Fewer than a third of all Russians regarded Stalin as a murderous tyrant" So, your username discussion is what would be offensive to a great many Russians. I would also point out that Josef Stalin is not the only notable individual named Stalin, (see Stalin (name)) and it could just be their real name. A lot of these users that get the username discussion message as their first interaction at Wikipedia simply disappear, I'm concerned that it is being used to liberally and is scaring of potential contributors, and that it is being used in matters like this one where the offensiveness of the name is largely a matter of personal perspective and politics. He was actually the leader of one of the Allied Countries in WWII, we Americans and Brits were more than happy to have him as a friend during the war, it's was only afterward that he became so vilified in the West.
