GAR closing

Many thanks for helping with the closing of a couple of GAR discussions recently. The project really benefits from having many closers, and I know only too well that it can be a bit tedious to update the GA page, count, article talk etc. Anyway, I just wanted to remind you to add the discussions you close to the bottom of the current archive. This means you can link them from the talk page rather than using a diff, which is more convenient for users. In contested discussions, you can also add some justification for the closure. There are guidelines for closing and archiving on the GAR page. I've fixed the two discussions that you closed. Thanks again. Geometry guy 22:28, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Noted thanks, I should have read the instructions I guess.Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:56, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Banned user abuse

Sir, A banned user:PONDHEEPANKAR has been targetting a featured article and leaving abusive messages on its/my talk page also. Please softlock these articles. He was banned from wiki for abusive language and sock puppetry.

Times of India and Preity Zinta

Hi. Congratualtions on your featured and GA work by the way but we seem to be having some difficulty over the Times of India as a source for the Indian film related articles. Its just finding completely reliable sources for Bollywood pages is incredibly difficult and whereas most people would consider Times of India as a reliable source , is it because you work for that paper that you don't consider it reliable? Most people would but is there some inside info about the paper that deems it unreliable? What sites thenwould you recommend related to Indian film, because while I don't want to see fansites cited in articles if possible I don't want to see articles ruined and cut short because of referencing issues? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 16:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, to be honest, I don't regard the ToI as a very reliable source. It is a tabloid and it plagiarises a lot. I am not an employee, the banner is a bit of fun, but if you read it you will see that it plagiarised Wikipedia articles. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:49, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

The times of India is not less than The New york Times. It is a newspaper and it's not you to decide that this is unreliable. Best regards, Shahid • ^Talk2me 12:33, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

The NYT is not a tabloid. It has highly regarded writers like David Halberstam etc who won a Pulitzer Prize. The ToI is a tabloid which plagiarises a lot. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:49, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

"Article is very POV, it gives the impresion that PZ is the biggest actress in Bollywood and so forth, (even though she only does all these "pretty stupid girl" roles) and in some cases misrepresents sources by taking an opoinion piece as concrete proof. Also the article gives massive talk space to PZ's own talk and that allows it to descened into a soapbox for Miss Zinta herself so she can promote and glorify herself"

You are the one who gives away hand to POV - "even though she only does all these "pretty stupid girl" roles." Nobody says that she is the best. It only says that she is prominent. That's all. Nobody glorifies her. And your opinion is mainly based on your personal opinion of the actress (you criticize her. Meaning, you don't like her) If you see Jolie, you will see how many quotes are there. But because Zinta being Indian whom many don't like - so everything is permitted. BTW, neither you nor other editors on Wikipedia have authority to invalidate "The Times of India", even if you really want to do that. Your Delist message was the most offensuve, that's why I've written. Shahid • ^Talk2me 09:32, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Well I looked at her awards list and compared it to the tone of the article, and there seems to be a discrepancy. Also, there is one part where a columnists said she was brave and your sentence said she was acclaimed by Indians [in a general sense] as being brave.

Some more 'New articles' for DYK

New articles

• November 6 - Public welfare in India
• November 7 - Indo-Nepal relations‎
• November 7 - Labour in India
• November 7 - Ports in India

Here are some newly created articles for DYK. -KnowledgeHegemony 08:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I checked them and it looks as though you have copied things mostly verbatim from teh US government. Although that is allowed for copyright purposes, I do believe that the DYK rules don't allow for articles that have been pillaged from PD without being reworked to be displayed.

“ Try to pick articles that are original to Wikipedia (not 1911 or other data sources) ”

Socopying PD stuff isnt allowed. I guess the rule is there to encourage original articles. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:39, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Ranks and graphs...

Hi Blnguyen -- always appreciate your work and your interesting user page! I'm a little confused by the graphs on the front page -- have you explained how to read them anywhere? What's the Rank of the articles mean, how is it generated, and do the dots on the lines have any particular significance? Hehe, I'm just disturbed by any data I can't understand! Obviously, a super low priority reply. Best, -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 19:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh I just ranked them in terms of the article size. So the largest article was 88kb, the second was 81kb, the third was 62kb etc.... the green dots are GAs and the orange ones are FA or FLs. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:39, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Lancashire County Cricket Club

Thanks for your GA review of the Lancashire County Cricket Club article, I will try to address the points you raised, though not immediately. To be honest, I didn't expect the article to be passed, but I'd run out of ideas on how to progress and the GAR process always raises more points than a peer review. Thanks anyway.

Hey B! I noticed you placed a tag on the Time on Earth nomination on the GAN page.

Speedy deletion of Philip Yampolsky

A tag has been placed on Philip Yampolsky requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Coren ^(talk) 00:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I see you are modifying the text. For future reference, it is almost always better to write your own prose rather than modify someone else's as this may give rise to serious copyright problems for Wikipedia. — Coren ^(talk) 00:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

It was already paraphrased to begin with. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:40, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry but I disagree. KNM's presence on pages I use to edit, such as Bollywood and the quiz on the Indian portal were suspected to me.

Four years ago this day, a foreigner was voted by the community to serve a land that he loved. Today, a new foreigner humbly accepts the charge and support of serving a community that he loves. Hopefully, he won't disappoint. Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a vote of (47/0/1). The trust bestowed upon me by the community is one of the most touching honours that I have ever received, and I vow not to let you down. Whether you have suggestions for ways in which I could improve, a request for assistance or just need someone to listen, my talk page and my email are always open.

Question

I was wondering if you could re-review Nicktropolis; Macys123 hasn't replied all day. Thanks! JONATHAN ^{Go green!} 22:39, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it would be a good idea since it has only been a few hours for me to overrule Macys123. The other thing is that I don;t think that you would like the result if I overruled you either. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll like you to review the article Nicktropolis, because someone requested it. I was reviewing other article at the same time and I maked some mistakes.

User:Victuallers for admin

Today I offered to nominate User:Victuallers for admin, and he showed interest; but as you have recently hinted that you also would like to nominate him, I feel a nomination by you would carry more weight. Would you be willing to nominate him instead? Epbr123 21:17, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I didn't actually offer to nominate him, I just hoped that he would become an admin. At the moment I think some people will complain that he only has 300 WP-space edits, so it might be easier to spend a bit of time at AfD to please the customers. Apart from that it should be fine really. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I have been doing some AFD stuff. I got involved in the schools debate but they are bailing the titanic. ie They spend 40 minutes debating an article that took 30 mins to create, meanwhile another 10 similar articles have been created. Although I don't think wikipedia is the Titanic ... it won't sink.

River Biss

Thanks for your comments here, I will take them on board. There is one, however, which is not clear: "It is crossed by" -> "it is intersected by". Intersection implies that they actually meet at this point, whereas the river is taken physically over the canal by an aqueduct, so the only place at which they meet is their confluence. I'd also argue against merging because it's difficult know where to merge. There is a Category:Rivers of Wiltshire into which it fits, and if you think the article is short, see River Ebble! Thanks again. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 10:39, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it's long enough for a normal article but for a GA it isn't really enough in my opinion. My point about the intersection seems to be wrong so you can ignore it. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:25, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[1] [2]

• WP:AGF

[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

• Continually accusing other users during content disputes of being sockpuppets:

[10] [11] [12]

• WP:CIVIL

Yelling in edit summaries: [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]

Reverting edits by other users attempting to engage in dialogue with whom IPSOS disagrees (often labelled as 'trolling' or 'vandalism'): [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27]

Others: [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] - although user was blocked as sock, no need for this behaviour by IPSOS. [39]
