Hi, Kinu

I'd be interested in getting more details as to why you deleted my entry for the above. As a senior administrator within the Faculty, I have clear copyright ownership.

Any details gratefully received.

Regards

Dear Kinu,

Can you provide some guidelines on what I can do to have this image retained on Wikipedia? It is from a client's corporate website, and he has given me permission to use it. It is going to accompany a couple of entries he has asked me to write and post on Wikipedia. I'm concerned about posting up those entries as well, even though I have written them in an NPOV style and included references to companies with similar products. I have noticed many entries about companies already posted on Wikipedia that don't get deleted, and wonder why they are retained.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Best regards,

• I would suggest creating the articles first... then the copyrighted image might have a fair use rationale (as a logo with an associated article). However, you are right about the conflict of interest here... generally, creating an article for a client is frowned upon. Nonetheless, as you seem familiar with the neutral point of view policy, I am more open to seeing your efforts and welcome any constructive contributions you can make. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! --Kinu ^t/_c 03:44, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kinu, We're interested in knowing why you've reverted out edit, we're looking at his official Air Force records and trying to add to the RSO history. Is there something in particular that is inaccurate or inappropriate? We know that it's not inaccurate because the RSO in question is sitting next to me.

Thanks, Rob —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wallisfamily99 (talk • contribs) 03:21, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Such images are not allowed on Wikipedia; they must be freely licensed per the GFDL. If this image can be uploaded to Wikipedia, you are welcome to re-upload it with an appropriate license and reinsert the image into the article.

Please bear in mind that you might not want to add text that may look like a conflict of interest... i.e., specifically about a certain individual/family member, unless it adds significant encyclopedic value to the article.

DELETION Sound Factory (band) PLEASE HELP!!! Hi, I realy hope you can help me. I published an article about a relevant band, SOUND FACTORY an italian pop soul jazz band who collaborated with jazz legend Mike Stern, the guitarist, and it has been deleted and many times I have been accused to use illegally the content of other websites or images. I contacted the band's publicist and he informed the band Sound Factory, who appreciated my effort to write an article and appreciated I wanted to use their well-written biography and official images. They granted me to use EVERYTHING from their website or related sites. Here are the official proofs of what I am stating:

Can you help me to get back the page? I am new to Wikipedia and its editing so please help me, I did a lot of mistakes. Can the page be online again or unprotected so I can post again correctly with a link to permission or they way you want it? HELP PLEASE! I don't want to be blocked!

Sacredsoul2 (talk) 08:57, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

• Thank you for providing proof of the release. Trust me, this release information was not present when the article was previously assessed and determined to be a copyright violation. I see you have created the article at another location; if you wish, you may move the article (using the "move" feature at the top of the page) to Sound Factory (band), which has been unprotected. This probably should be done anyway because this would be the appropriate title per Wikipedia conventions. Also, please note that others may edit this text as well, to make it encyclopedic and in line with Wikipedia standards... releasing this text allows anyone to edit it, not just you, so it may be altered to where it doesn't even look like the released text anyway. However, the content herein would definitely be a start. Thank you for contacting me regarding this matter. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:39, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

MOVE Sound Factory The Band

• Thanx really much Kinu! I know before there was not the copyright thing, I didn't know about all this kind of posting here and after I understood it all (I'm not even so good with computers so really sorry for all the mess!) I contacted the band through myspace and I have been enough lucky to have them replying to me and agreeding to use their "official" text and pics for wikipedia. The process was slow because they had to ask to their manager and pubblicist but at the end I had consent.

I will move the page :)

• I also contacted the band and they said someone from their staff will change the copyright thing.

I know everyone will contribute to the article and that's the thing we all love about wikipedia, that we can contribute and expand articles. Peace to you and happy 2008 :)

NPOV Sound Factory (band)

• I have this NPOV tag in the page... Everything seems all right with the page, it talks about a dispute... can I delete this or admins should do that?

Let me know please, thanx you :) Sacredsoul2 (talk) 13:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

• • Considering the bulk of the article is copied from the band's own website, it can't really be from a neutral point of view, now can it? :P That's why it needs to be edited. Once the cleanup is complete, another editor (probably not even an admin) will remove the tag. --Kinu ^t/_c 17:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Tone and Wikifi tags @ Sound Factory (band) Kenu, I am new to all this, I've read it but I don't get what's wrong with the article. I noticed someone posted there a radio thing and I took it off, I don't think wikipedia is the appropriate place to promote a radio show or something similar. I love the band and I love there is ppl improving articles but I think some information like that is not necessary here. Let me know what I have to do to write the article in the write tone and the wikifi thing... I don't get it...

Sacredsoul2 (talk) 19:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Sound Factory (band) Notability & Neutrality

This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here.

I've noticed Sound Factory band's article and it has a relevant reference, they are in the review section of Rolling Stone Magazine Online so please think about if it is the case to suspend the tags about neutrality and notability. As far as I know they are a great band trying to emerge in the US, considering that they are Italians and that the project features one of the most amazing living I guitarists I guess they are really outstanding and we just can give them the time to add awards and more press coverage to come in the future months...Also it seems they are almost a legend the italian jazz/pop music scene...

Stewart University - New Scotland International School of Medicine

This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here.

Dear Kinu - The Stewart University - New Scotland International School of Medicine is very real and offers a very real opportunity to individuals who might otherwise not get a chance to study medicine in the USA due to inadequate numbers of medical schools and medical school seats and age discrimination for applicants outside of the 21 to 29 year old range. Although we have only about 45 professors, all with doctorates, we have not spent much time with publicists like almost all the other medical schools in the USA, with their almost continuous press releases. We have experienced a flood of stalking behavior from students concentrated at a small number of schools (particularly Wayne State University) who have created a fictitious group on Facebook, and stolen copyrighted material from our website repeatedly at www.stewartmed.org and posted it illegally on other websites including www.studentdoctor.net. I suspect that these same individuals, some likely related to Al Qaida, have misled you regarding our school because it seeks to give US military veterans admissions preference to the school. Someone's goofy conclusion that our school admissions line has anything to do with "WEED ABATEMENT INC." is either out of date information regarding the phone that we have used for the last 20 months, and the fax information claimed to be "Clearly Yosemite" is also either out of date or some discreditors idea of a joke. Most of the stalkers, again generally middle eastern in origin, seem to have a political ax to grind with the school, for what reason we simply do not know. The claims concerning our PO Box location in a mall is very immature and demonstrates a lack of knowledge of business practices in general. Yes, and the website has had many bad links and not gotten updated and is very simple, due to lack of web designer resources although a detailed catalog is downloadable from the website. The school has been written about in three different articles carried on the same date in the Ventura County Star newspaper, and again is very real. We would like to see a page on Wikipedia describing the school, without some competing Carribean medical school's employee posing as a concerned individual getting you to delete the page. I can assure you that Saul Amezcua, Ohmssoo7, is not the "chancellor" of the school but a student, that the school has an active AMSA chapter (American Medical Student Association, and the reason for using PayPal is to cut down on the overhead of students bad checks. You claimed that this method of business practice "takes the cake" but if you were dealing with some of the flakes that have stalked every person listed on our website, called them at home, demanded that they quit their jobs working at Stewart University - New Scotland International School of Medicine, stolen their personal copyrighted pictures, harrassed even the real estate agent listed to help students find student housing, and the webmistress whose wedding pictures were stolen off her copyrighted site by these stalkers and posted on studentdoctor.net illegally, THAT IS WHY WE CANNOT post the rest of our current faculty members pictures or credentials. A group of middle eastern foreign nationals centered around or affiliated with Wayne State University have stalked and frightened many of our faculty and staff. These nuts call us at all hours of the day and night outside of the normal business hours and on the weekend claiming to be interested applicants, when in reality they are stalkers, joksters, pranksters, immature, unethical, deceiptful, liars. That is what we are dealing with, and that is why we are currently keeping a low profile and not releasing much information about the school. Even when one of your editors called and talked to one of our faculty members: "I did email one of the listed professors for the school (who is a real academic) and he did indicate he was asked to teach there and said he would, but said it's not a good place for becoming a real doctor." the editor did not acknowledge that the faculty member answered back, was real and confirmed that the school was real. Ohmssoo7, Saul, is not the AMSA president, as one of your editors has tried to conclude, but for privacy reasons and to protect the president of the AMSA chapter, I will not divulge her name. Saul is the Associated Students President. With regard to the comment "This is reeking too much of the movie Accepted." yes, there has not been a new medical school open in California, or anywhere west of the Mississippi River in over 45 years, so obviously it will appear to be something new, because it is, and it is more egalitarian that other medical schools in the US. Signed, Someone who actually knows about the school that your editors are unable to effectively research accurately. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.106.58.63 (talk) 11:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I am writing regarding User:User talk:Lg5667. Firstly, I declare that I have no personal interest in the user or the issue. I have even warned the user and CSDd the article and put him up on AIV. But, I was googling the person he is creating the article about, and he gets a reasonable number of google hits. That in no way makes him 'wikipediable' but, dont you think the block at least is unjustified considering that he is not otherwise a vandal? Isnt WP being unfair on him? Just a few things bothering me. I understand if you are busy. You dont need to reply at length at all. This post was to just put in a 'second thought' in your mind about the block, thats all! :)Prashanthns (talk) 21:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

• I have no problem with anyone attempting to create a sourced, neutral article on this topic. The problem is the user's conflict of interest and apparent unwillingness to work within policies/guidelines... the de facto "copyright" notice, single purpose, spam of other articles with external links to this topic, etc. In the end, the user appears to be spamming and self-promoting, which has no place, regardless of the possible notability of the topic at hand. --Kinu ^t/_c 21:17, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Your experience at Yale

Hey Kinu, sorry this is non-Wikipedia related, so I hope it's ok with you. But I noticed from your userpage that you are a graduate of Yale University. I was just wondering, how did you find your experience at the university and how was the surrounding city, New Haven? Was there a lot of crime? Thanks. Acceptable (talk) 02:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

• Not a problem... I'm glad to answer your question. As for my experiences at Yale... naturally, every experience has its positives and negatives. Would I have gotten a similarly good education somewhere else? No doubt about it. However, I believe that, as a whole, it was definitely the right choice for me... I enjoyed the atmosphere, my peers, my professors, and what I got out of it. So "no regrets" would sum it up, other than the fact that I only had four years to spend there! As for New Haven itself... it was no different than any other major city. There was some crime, yes, but I was never witness to any sort of violent crime or serious crime against a person, just maybe a petty theft here or there (and the drunk and disorderly conduct that is germane to a college campus :P). The city gets a really bad reputation, partly because of how it was in the past, but it's really cleaned up lately, and also Yale police does its part to ensure that the area around the campus stays relatively drama free. I hope this helps... feel free to ask more if you feel like it! --Kinu ^t/_c 02:38, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Trigonometric functions

This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here.

Dear Kinu,

I am so sorry. I was not trying to self-promote. Obviously, like most teachers, you are interested in rote and not thought and did not bother to consider the information available at the links.

I am not a mathematician and have never taught mathematics or any other subject.

Clearly knowledge, the produce of original thought, is wasted on you. I am sure you will serve your students well.

Kindest Regards Keith Davie (talk) 23:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC) Keith Davie

• And clearly my attempt at an apology at the reference desk was wasted on you. C'est la vie. Nonetheless, I would be willing to bury the hatchet and possibly provide constructive feedback on your methods. Truce? --Kinu ^t/_c 23:34, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I suppose I should apologize to the Reference Desk.

Thanks, but I'll pass on your offer. Knowledge of the Trigonometric Triangle and two functions not recognized by mathematics is not about my methods. There are eight functions, not the six of mathematical rote. There is one Trigonometric Triangle, not the two promoted by Wiki.

I just happen to enjoy elegance and playing in the sandbox of the relationship between geometry and trig. That Wiki condones the use of two triangles to demonstrate just six functions actually demonstrates a lack of elegance on the part of mathematics and a lack of desire for elegance by Wiki.

I'm retired and could care less about Wiki's complicity in that lack of elegance or their policies which shun knowledge.

Kindest Regards Keith Davie (talk) 00:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC) Keith Davie

• You know, now that you mention it, for the longest time, I want to say this was the image used for the definitions in the article... not sure why that changed:

  

  . A lot more concise, no? Personally, I wouldn't mind finding and/or creating some sort of discussion on why this changed. (Also... please keep in mind that I don't speak for Wikipedia, nor vice versa. I'm just another guy on a math kick.) --Kinu ^t/_c 00:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Kinu, yes, that is a somewhat better image, but still not the trigonometric triangle. Why is the secant shown separately from the cos? The cos has coincidence with the secant and the sin with the csc.

The vers and exsec are about as useful as nipples on a man. Actually AC (sin) x AE (tan) is an exponential function (dav) of of the given angle: sin(sq)/cos. Similarly the transposed cos of the Trigonometric Triangle times the cot of the same is the cofunction (codav), also exponential cos(sq)/sin. This is obvious from the way those two functions (the dav and codav) linearly increase and decrease as the given angle increases in a manner very unusual to the unit circle on which the Trigonometric Triangle relies, for that unity is the constant of Trigonometry.

At least this all is obvious to this non-mathematician. In fact, I am in the process of making another iMovie which covers that very subject. But that amounts to self-promotion and not the dispersal of knowledge.

Kindest regards, Keith Davie (talk) 00:33, 13 May 2008 (UTC) Keith Davie

BTW, Kinu, the problem with that image is that the given angle is first quadrant, yet there is a triangle in the fourth quadrant, sans élégance. The Trigonometric Triangle to which I refer, which seems to be laden with self-promotion, is originally discussed (Not Quite Nine Functions) in the first quadrant. In the third movie, Special Case Angles, the other three quadrants are taken into brief comment, given the usual 'other quadrant' considerations, and an exampe displayed without discussion.

• I see what you're getting at... of course, ${\dfrac {\sin ^{2}\theta }{\cos \theta }}=\sec \theta -\cos \theta$. You're essentially comparing one function to its own inverse, so the relationship you suggest isn't necessarily worthy of its own "designation" as a function, per se. While on a rigorous mathematical level it might be considered somewhat trivial (although it is germane), certainly this does nothing to detract from the mystique of these functions, of course. Part of the difficulty in teaching trigonometry is getting students to understand these intricacies, and I laud your self-analysis on this. Ultimately it comes down to exploring them on your own, which I am certainly glad you are doing. (Of course, I would be remiss in condoning your use non-standard nomenclature, like "dav" for example... the knowledge itself is good, but I will admit that's the part I latched onto when I called your work "self-aggrandizing" :P). Do continue to explore and enlighten. --Kinu ^t/_c 02:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, the discoverer/promoter of those functions, I made that eponymous claim of Davie's Functions in the third video. BFD, and I don't mean Berkeley Fire. Academically, I understand the privilege is mine. As best I, a non-mathematician, can tell, e.g. the postings at Wiki and other math sites, mathematics has not recognized them --- yet.

The Trigonometric Triangle, which is elegant in its simplicity, makes the presence of the dav/codav obvious. As function, they produces a unique result for each unique input. That, as far as I know, adequately describes functions of Trigonometry, But I am not a mathematician and can easily be in error. That they function as they do is explainable, a bit complex (for me) and interesting. I am organizing my thoughts into written form. I can assure you, however, that linearly the dav/codav act exponentially and not as a matter of subtraction.

Now please consider this bit of data. There are 361 degrees in a circle. If one starts at zero degrees, as one should given the trig tables, then zero deg. is angle #1. And by the time one arrives at 360 degrees, that is angle #361. :)

FWIW, I have spent well over thirty years considering these functions. Of late my ability to express my observations has become quite acute.

Enuff for tonite. I do hope you will find the 45-50 minutes to watch the three videos and see what I am saying about the Trigonometric Triangle and the functions. They are available for download - FREE. I'm not in this for money. I have posted them copyleft!

• You say the presence of "dav" (and "codav") is obvious but really don't present any functional purpose that, say, $\sec \theta -\cos \theta$, can't serve... just that it exists and that we should give it a name. By your argument, all injections that can be derived from "the" triangle, no matter how useful, should be defined as functions... yielding an infinite number of named functions. Why stop there... let's give every single trigonometric identity, no matter how useful, a name. Seems a little unwieldy. Likewise, the counter is that you called exsecant and versine useless (even though they have served a purpose historically), and for all intents and purposes, the "dav" and "codav" are as well, since they are, simply put, combinations of established functions (i.e., "dav" is just $\sec \theta -\cos \theta =f-{\dfrac {1}{f}}$). Sorry, but, essentially, from a more rigorous mathematical perspective, there are no properties herein which haven't been "discovered" (and not everything that has been discovered in math has an actual name).
  
  I don't know what the "361 degree" comment is meant to be, but I think this discussion should come to a close. I do wish you the best in your study of trigonometric functions, and any/all other mathematical concepts. Thank you for the dialogue. --Kinu ^t/_c 03:20, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I figure I'll point out that your argument actually demonstrates that there are 360 degrees in a circle, davie. I say that because one can also observe that angle #361, as you called it is the same angle as angle #1. Thus only the angles #1 through #360 are distinct. I do find these other trigonometric functions interesting despite their purported lack of utility. I shall go watch those videos to see what I think of your functions. A math-wiki (talk) 05:44, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is fine to end this. And in ending I observe that the angle of zero degrees is as distinct to me as is the angle of .00000000000000000000000000000000000001 degree. If you have not viewed the video Special Case Angles, you might consider viewing that, for the angle of zero degrees is a special case angle which I illustrate and discuss. I do not fear zero degrees. If find both of its expressions quite interesting. I wonder if there are others.

Thank you for your input regarding the solution I offered along with my complaint of the problem of the illustration displayed by Wiki. While you may not appreciate my solution, at least you recognize the problem. No one has proposed a counter-solution.

Deletion of Patriotic Union of Mesopotamia...

Hey, i am just wondering about ur deletion of the party site on wikipedia, u say "lack of proof for being an official party", my friend how can u prove the other Iraqi parties existence when their websites are out of function, most of their leaders have been either killed or kidnapped and parties have officially resigned from elections. The "patriotic union of mesopotamia" party is an Iraqi party, it does exist and has over 50 members since its est. on may 7th. I can show u letters from the IECoI (electoral commission of the republic of Iraq), the Iraqi communist parties recommendations and scan our letter to ministry of interior to u; to prove that we exist and have been allowed to join future elections as long as we can gather 500 signatures. Now deleting our wiki page would only minimize the attention further that we need as a party that young.

What prove do u need? What prove do u have from other party websites? Last time i checked, we probably have more information about our existence than most of the wiki pages of Iraqi parties.

• I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say that Wikipedia operates on verifiability from reliable sources. Provide reliable sources as references in your article, rather than patently unverifiable information, and this will greatly decrease the likelihood of its deletion. The fact that it was created last week indicates that perhaps it is not an appropriate subject for an article at this time. As for "minimiz[ing] the attention" of your party, please note that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for promotion, political or otherwise, and any attempt to use Wikipedia for that purpose is unjustifiable. --Kinu ^t/_c 00:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Kinu, I created a Page called: Both Worlds Episods (mini Series) a series on YouTube. I worked hard on that page, and then you deleted it. I don't find anything wrong with posting a YouTube episodes page for my fans to know when a new episdode will air and what's to come. i want to advertise my Mini Series on Wikipedia, and show my fans what my mini series episodes are about in one central place. I find wikipedia a good place to do that. Please reconcider that I can make a new page and you don't delete it. I hope you understand what I'm talking about, and I hope you will allow me and my friend a chance to advertise our Mini Series. My friend wants one too Miley Vs Hannah Episodes (mini series). Please reply and let me know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alec2011 (talk • contribs) 07:54 PM, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

• Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not a medium for advertising your series. Please do not recreate the article, as it will surely be deleted again. This is nothing personal, but based on policy. --Kinu ^t/_c 01:50, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  
  

Hello, Kinu,
I really didn't mean "Advertise" I meant like tell everyone my episodes, but it's on Wkipedia. It's meant to be like An episode page like Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place. Do you think I can still add it again. I really didn't mean for it to sound like that. It's just for people to see what episodes we've had, because my series is growing and I don't want people to go and search through my channel, and it would help for my Mini Series. It would be like Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place episode pages. Sorry for the confusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alec2011 (talk • contribs)

• No. Hannah Montana is a legitimate television show that has been discussed in other reliable sources. Addition of information about a collection of YouTube videos is not an encyclopedic topic, and the fact that it is about your own videos makes it a conflict of interest. It is a wholly inappropriate topic and would be removed on sight again. I recommend finding a blog or some other medium on which to convey information about your project. --Kinu ^t/_c 02:17, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  
  

It's like a mini series that I'm in, it's like a created episode with clips of Hannah Montana, but put into a meaning that is just like Hannah Montana. Each episode will teach you a moral lesson (Most of them), If you want, I can show it's like an episode, it's not anything inappropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alec2011 (talk • contribs)

• Please read the information I have linked above. --Kinu ^t/_c 02:25, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  
  

But I don't get how A Youtube Mini Series isn't just like A Television show or a encyclopedic source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alec2011 (talk • contribs)

• Please read the information I have linked above, along with notability guidelines for web content. In short, its notability cannot be measured like a television series because it isn't one. --Kinu ^t/_c 03:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  
  

So there is ABSOLUTLY NO WAY I can make a page for it? Even though it is a series, and it couldn't count as anything in Wikipedia, no source of it at all? No way to start something new for wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alec2011 (talk • contribs)

• In summary, for all the reasons I have stated above, no. Sorry, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. "It doesn't harm anything" is an invalid statement to support the creation of an article on this topic. Please read WP:5P for information about contributing constructively. Surely there is something else for you to contribute other than an article about your YouTube videos. --Kinu ^t/_c 03:40, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  
  

It's not really about different videos, all of the videos are part of a series called episodes. But i understand where you come from. Even though all of theose things above say that Youtube Series don't count for anything, but it is a series like it would be on TV, but it's made differently, but more or likely, it would be like it would be on TV.

• Yes. But it is a YouTube series and not a television program. Wikipedia can only be based on what things are, not subjective comparisons. --Kinu ^t/_c 04:00, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  
  

What do you mean?

• In that, just because you say it is "like" a TV series, that doesn't mean one can ignore the notability guidelines for web content, because it is, in fact, web content. --Kinu ^t/_c 04:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  
  

I've seen Disney Channel Mini Series for series they have on there online website and have Wikipedia pages, shouldn't those be taken away too, because it's counted as web content since it's on the web.

• Please take some time to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia policy and consider actually reading what I have written above. I never said that web content cannot be notable... it just has to meet the notability standards for web content, which I have linked above. I am more than confident that web content posted by the Disney (one of the largest companies in the world) about television programs on its channel (one of the most-watched networks in the world) is notable and has reliable sources to that effect. This is significantly different from YouTube videos that are posted by a fan (and which probably contain content that violate Disney's copyrights). If you fail to see the difference, then I feel this discussion must end, as I have provided information on the relevant policies and guidelines to you several times. --Kinu ^t/_c 04:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  
  

OK, I'm sorry, I won't make a page for it. Thanks for explaining, I didn't mean to make you mad, I'll read it, and I promise not to bug you about something. Please Feel Free to reply back, but I forgot to ask, do you work with wikipedia?

• No worries... I certainly hope you read WP:5P and contribute positively in the future. And, no, I do not work with Wikipedia, in the sense that I am not an employee. I am essentially an editor, just like you; I just also happen to be an administrator (one who has the access to do a few extra things around here). --Kinu ^t/_c 04:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  
  

I'm sorry I made you waste your time reading this. I finally got it now. I will contribute in the future. I'm a HUGE Hannah Montana fan so I may update about that. Also, do you where i can create like an episodes page like Hannah Montana, that's this organized?

Asphalt Valentine

This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here.

Someone has created a page for my band Asphalt Valentine that links from the Rocklahoma information page. When I noticed it I signed up to edit the page to include information about the band, assuming since the page exists, it should have information. My information has been deleted several times and I hold the trademark to the name Asphalt Valentine and I own the copyright to the 2 photos I uploaded. My question is, why can someone, apparently just anyone, create a page for my band but I cannot edit in correct information for it.

If the page is insignificant, why has it not been deleted yet the information of the band is deleted? I am new to this but this just doesnt make sense.

Thank you for your time AV 23:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC) AV —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scozzyrox (talk • contribs)

• The article has actually been deleted. When you click on Asphalt Valentine, you are allowed to create it (because that is the nature of Wikipedia), even though no article exists there. However, once it is created, it is subject to all Wikipedia policies and guidelines, include verifiability and notability (and conflict of interest, if indeed you are a band member), hence why it is removed and "empty" when you attempt to edit it. I hope this helps. --Kinu ^t/_c 01:53, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Generally I follow a 1RR when it comes to fellow admins, I wanted to touch base with you regarding your block of Markyodoul (talk · contribs) since both Husond (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) and I declined the AIV request to block this editor. On AIV Husond and I both noted (, ) that the editor had not vandalized after his final warning, and on subsequent investigation I discovered that Markyodoul had actually stopped vandalizing after receiving a level-three warning. So not only had he not continued to vandalize after his final warning, but he never even saw the level-four warning because he stopped editing nearly six hours before it was improperly issued. Perhaps you are aware of something I am not, but from where I am standing this appears to be an out-of-process block. --Kralizec! (talk) 03:15, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

• Feel free to unblock this user... one one hand, you are correct in that the warnings were issued with a time lag (I misread the time stamps, hence my confusion), but on the other, I fail to see anything indicating this is anything but a vandalism-only account. You are more than welcome to unblock; I will, however, keep an eye on this account. Thank you for your message. --Kinu ^t/_c 03:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

No worries on the time stamp confusion; I too had missed the fact that this editor had stopped vandalizing before they were issued the final warning. Had I not been asked to review my AIV decline decision, I would have never even noticed. Since you do not object, I will go ahead and unblock Markyodoul. While I agree with you that there is -based on this editor's history- little reason to hope that he will reform and become a model wikipedian, I feel that process is important and endeavor to give all editors a fair and equal shake.

Debt-snowball method

This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here.

Kinu, I apologize because I did not see your first note since I am new to Wikipedia (I use a different wikifarm for my personal wiki). Since I have no affiliation with the software that I put on the Wikipedia page (so I could care less about page rankings in search engines) and the Dave Ramsey article is used as a vehicle for promotion or advertising, I will edit out Dave Ramsey's info from this page and make a general reference to financial advisers and software programs that can accomplish this. It's all about getting the info to the people since debt elimination information is relevant to all of those that want to do it. I personally had a hard time finding the information I needed to accomplish a debt free lifestyle and Wikipedia should be used to let people know about it.

If you disagree with my method, then you do not need to ban me from using Wikipedia. You can revert to the previous page again and let it to continue to promote and advertise for Dave Ramsey. I just simply will advise people I know to use the software that works. After all, there is a Media War going on and I am on a mission to help 1 million people become leaders, and becoming debt free is a part of that process. Jfdco (talk) 22:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I wanted to thank you for speedy deleting the "Nickolai Ebersbacheichel" ‎article and blocking the article's author. Incredibly, I put this up for Speedy Delete earlier and it was denied, which is why I brought it to AfD. I greatly appreciate your work here. Ecoleetage (talk) 03:22, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kinu

I am trying to create a page on a small business in Canada. It is only a statement of what the business's name is, and what types of work they provide. There will be no advertising or promoting within the article, just a generic statement so that they have a page on Wikipedia.

Can you please let me know my limitations as well as how to go about starting this page?

Thank you.

Hello. The article Nashville Sounds is a Featured Article candidate. One of the issues brought up is that Image:GreerStadium1stBaseLine.jpg, an image you created, has a depricated liscense template. So, if it's not too much trouble, could you please update the permisson tags? Thanks. Oh, thanks also for taking such great photos of the stadium & scoreboard while it was empty. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 21:55, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi... I apologize for having taken so long to respond to your request; I'd been on sort of a de facto Wikibreak up until a few days ago. I'll take a look at the permission tags and replace them with a suitable alternate (i.e., the no restrictions version). --Kinu ^t/_c 04:06, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Redirect of American music institute

This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on American music institute, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because American music institute is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting American music institute, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Proposed deletion of Estadio Zapote

This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Estadio Zapote, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

It has virtually no sources and it's basically one sentence; not even of stub quality

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

...wrong written redirects here? Are the users really so dumb? --62.216.118.84 (talk) 00:28, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

• On one hand, the redirect isn't necessary, per se, because the software will automatically redirect to the correct article (see the appropriate section at Wikipedia:Redirect). On the other hand, the redirect has existed for a long time (other pages, especially talk pages, might link to it) and should not be speedied, especially with an illegitimate reason such as because no one is this dumb.... --Kinu ^t/_c 00:34, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok. Well, how do you mark pages being unnecessary without exposing them for speedy deletion? --62.216.118.84 (talk) 01:10, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Woot, woot? --62.216.118.84 (talk) 01:27, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

• • I'll point you to WP:RFD. However, I'll say that it probably won't get deleted. While the Wikimedia software will automatically find the correct article if it is searched for, regardless of casing, this redirect has existed for a while and is likely important from a historical perspective (i.e., like I said, other pages such as talk pages actively link to it). --Kinu ^t/_c 02:14, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I meant that what template(s) should be used on the whole for marking pages that are not so clearly just junk? --62.216.118.84 (talk) 03:05, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of "Dark Winter (band)"

This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here.

There are plenty of other pages in this godforsaken website's archive that have less significance than that of a band. Why aren't those being deleted? HaloHendrix (talk) 01:59, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

• One article about a non-notable subject doesn't justify the existence of another. Instead, if you find one of those, then recommend it for deletion. --Kinu ^t/_c 02:00, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

One article? You mean thousands yes?......... I thought so. On a more "notable" issue, the band is significant. If you do not think so, I encourage you to prove it.

• Actually, you're the one creating the article, so it is your mission to show that the band meets the notability guideline for bands by citing reliable sources. --Kinu ^t/_c 02:05, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

So should I be citing myself as a source, or what? It is somewhat difficult to reference something when you are the source. I would love to see/hear you try it sometime. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HaloHendrix (talk • contribs) 02:08, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

• I actually don't see myself trying that, because it would contravene WP:RS. According to Wikipedia guidelines, a reliable source would be something like an article or other third-party information about the band. --Kinu ^t/_c 02:11, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

'm pretty sure that the idea of this whole site is to provide as much information as possible to those who seek it, so am I to see this as you denying the census possible knowledge? And what kind of a loser memorizes all of these rules about posting? There has to be hundreds, and you just "whip 'em out" as if they were something that one could only know so well by studying them for years in school. Did you major in Wikipediology?

• Well, I was trying to help you toward creating/editing articles legitimately, but instead... I think we're done here. --Kinu ^t/_c 02:19, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

So, that was your major then? —Preceding unsigned comment added by HaloHendrix (talk • contribs) 02:20, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Why did you delete Total Performance Sports?? It isn't an advertising page. It's a FAN PAGE!!! All the info, however is verifiable on it's website.

• The tone of the article was inappropriate for an encyclopedia article; note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to create a "fan page" for an entity. Also, the only information provided was from the gym's own website, and as such it was deemed to be a form of advertising. Please refer to Wikipedia guidelines for notability of corporations.

I started a page about our local fire station and you deleted it. If it is the policy of Wikipedia to delete pages about fire stations then you had better delete these as well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Fire_Station,_Singapore

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Street_Fire_Station

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Hill_Fire_Station

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Station_No._4_(Pawtucket,_Rhode_Island)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Station_No._4_(Elmira,_New_York)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Station_No._1_(Roanoke,_Virginia)

and i could keep going and going and going.

Why have you picked a new page about an Irish fire station to delete and left all the rest, do you have some problem with the Irish?

BB —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blackbolt19 (talk • contribs) 20:15, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

• I can't speak for all of those articles, but it should be noted that those articles are about the station buildings themselves, and of those a majority are buildings listed on some sort of historical register. Do all of those articles belong here? I can't say, but I can safely say that the existence (or lack thereof) of one article cannot justify the existence (or lack thereof) of another. On the other hand, the article that was deleted was primarily about the day-to-day operations about the fire department, without any indication as to why it is notable (such as history, etc.), and merely contained a list of firefighters who work there. An encyclopedic article as to why the topic is notable would be welcome. As for the assertion that I have "some problem with the Irish," I see no point in wasting my time dignifying that with a response. I hope this information helps. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:26, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Kinu the article had just been started, I had just gotten more information and was putting it in when you deleted the page, how can you justify deleting something that hed been there for less than two minutes without giving the article time to grow. As for the other station pages, try reading them, agreed some are primarly about the actual buildings but if you actually take the time to read them you will find out that there is more information about operations and crew that about the buildins in quite a lot of them. I did not insinuate that you had a problem because the station is Irish , I simply asked a question as I know that some people have a problem with one culture or another and I was looking for a reason you deleted the page. As for the article I will not be putting it up. What was going into it just for your information, was an in-depth article on how the Irish Fire Service operates from the Retained Point. Wiki has an article on how the English Retained Fire Service operates but not the Irish one. Killorglin Fire Station was simply a starting point. Wiki , I am afraid has dropped in its status of fairness if its moderators now delete articles that are not only relevant but have been up for less than 2 minutes and are obviously a work in progress. As for you comment on notable, the work the fire service do in fire prevention and the new information that could save lives is exactly what I would call notable.
