Wikis Take Manhattan

WHAT Wikis Take Manhattan is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and StreetsWiki articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City.

LAST YEAR'S EVENT

• Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Fall 2008 (a description of the results, and the uploading party)
• Commons:Wikis Take Manhattan (our cool team galleries)
• Streetfilms: Wikis Take Manhattan (our awesome video)

WINNINGS? The first prize winning team members will get Eye-Fi Share cards, which automatically upload photos from your camera to your computer and to sites like Flickr. And there will also be cool prizes for other top scorers.

WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, October 10th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.

WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!

REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.

WHERE Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's fantastic new event space nestled between Chinatown and SoHo. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:

Accusation of personal attacks

You accused me of making personal attacks in the article I wrote, Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America. Please be advised that you are mistaken, I'm not sure why. I made no personal attacks. Everything I wrote came from news reports from reputable news sources, such as the ABC TV network and the largest newspaper in Boston. David spector (talk) 00:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Your "Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America" deletion

Mr. Bearian, he called HIMSELF a financial terrorist. I was quoting him. Read the references. David spector (talk) 01:00, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Mr. Bearian, you apparently only read one of the three references. Jenifer McKim's article in the Boston Globe starts as follows:

Bruce Marks, chief executive of the Jamaica Plain-based Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America and self-proclaimed “bank terrorist’’...

Mr. Bearian, that sounds like a quotation from Mr. Marks to me. That's what "self-proclaimed" means, coming from a reporter.

If you have any remaining doubt, Mr. Marks then says, "Bank terrorism is a nonviolent way we personalize the consequences of CEOs’ actions." (Remember, this is an interview. You don't use quotation marks in an interview article.)

Another quotation directly from Bruce Marks from the same interview:

You have to engage in bank terrorism. It gets their attention.

The ABC Nightline report on TV includes the following:

BRUCE MARKS (NEIGHBORHOOD ASSISTANCE CORPORATION OF AMERICA): We wear nonviolent bank terrorism as a badge of honor.

Mr. Bearian, I am waiting for your apology and restoration of the article and its talk page. And please be more careful in the future. David spector (talk) 00:04, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I can read, but I am not sure that you can. It is clear that "bank terrorism" and "financial terrorism" are not the same thing. Please take your complaint to deletion review. Bearian (talk) 00:10, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

David Standish Ball

I was surprised to see this article, not having thought of Fr. Ball since he was actually Canon Ball (yeah, we got a lotta yardage out of that as kids at summer camp).

I was more taken back though, by the characterization of St Peter's as "an urban parish in a downtown neighborhood, that entailed what was called slum work". There are no cites for this, and from my memory, St Peter's neighborhood was never a slum. It was downtown, but not near the slums in Albany. I was not a member of the parish, but of another Episcopal church in town. Since there are no citations for this comment, I will delete it, but will not take offense if you restore it if you have additional knowledge. Riverpa (talk) 16:54, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Bitey?

I won't argue too strongly with "per DGG". Those bother me because they are effectively a vote against allowing exclusionist admins, but I cannot deny that I am an exclusionist. "Bitey" I will question. WP:BITE is an essay against being snappy to newcomers. If you can find cases of me being bitey, I'd appreciate having them pointed out. Most newcomers that I interact with seem to come away with a positive opinion of me, and I am frequently dealing with their requests for help. I'm pretty stern with User:Wiki-11233 and User:Petergriffin9901, but since I'm responsible for having gotten their indefinite blocks lifted and mentoring them during a probationary period, I think it's necessary to be firm with them. If you are referring to Meursault2004, I can accept criticism for having been harsh. As I documented in WP:Requests for adminship/Kww 3#Additional statement re Meursault2004, I came to the conclusion that his problematic edits were performed with the full knowledge that his edits were problematic and that the previous editor to perform them was indefinitely blocked as a result. Reasonable people can disagree with my conclusion, but his first edit here was Feb 4, 2004, and has accumulated 2,984 edits. He's a bureaucrat and administrator on other Wikiprojects. This is hardly a newbie, and that factored into my conclusion that his violation was performed knowingly, not innocently.—Kww(talk) 19:08, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

• He's not trying to convince you, per se. He's just (as far as I can tell) looking for an example of the behavior you mentioned in your oppose. At the very least, if this RfA fails, it will allow him to gain some specific feedback. Protonk (talk) 21:28, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

FWIW, I have frequently voted for admin candidates whom i though exclusionist, though some of them have since changed their mind slightly on that question. And I'm exclusions myself about many local topics -- and , fort that matter, non-fiction books, and internet memes with BLP problems. For those last, I've often been in the !delete minority. Berian, I realize you understand this--I put it here for anyone dropping by. KWW, I hope that you will understand this too, next time around. DGG ( talk ) 23:43, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Category question

Could you weigh in on this? The article was moved from being about the person to being about the murder and case. Intuitively I think the categories should stay for those looking for articles on these subjects but I may be misreading our standards. -- Banjeboi 15:32, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Proposed Deletion of Ashford.com

This entry was vetted yesterday by another Admin the outcome of which was his satisfaction (please see my talk entries). I have re-read the guidelines and reviewed the copy again to ensure it is not promotional and am confused as to why it is still being proposed for deletion? If it is a matter of adding more historical links per Joe Chill [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], and [6]. I am happy to oblige, clearly the company has significance as it has been studied in books of logo design and several other business books. I just need a little more clarity, if you visit the links above you will see there is notability and the content is not written in a promotional manner.

Hi Bearian,

Thanks for the feedback, sorry to negatively affect your formatting. I have added some of the content cited by Joe Chill around accounting abnormalities and ensuing fines. I feel that given a 12 year history and Ashford's overall marketplace news / interactions over that time meet WP:NOTE and WP:NPOV requirements.

Recall

Your user page states you are open to recall. What is the procedure you use? Thanks! Hipocrite (talk) 14:49, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

The process for recall is described at Wikipedia:Administrators open to recall/Sample process. I am generally ready for a recall, however, due to personal reasons right now (i.e., a fire in my apartment building on October 12, 2009), I am not ready to participate in another RfA. In past practice, recall can only be intiated by the admin. What prompted this inquiry? Do you have a particular concern that I may be able to address? Do you want me to initiate a recall for myself? Bearian (talk) 18:28, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

P.S. I probably should develop my own process. Bearian (talk) 18:28, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Michele Weiner Davis

Hi I am a new editor at Wikipedia and my first project that I’ve taken on by accident it turned out to be is the contested deletion of the article Biography of Michele Weiner Davis that you had voted on back in September of last month. I had spoken to the editor Karanacs shortly after the article was recently deleted a second time because when I first contested the deletion when I came across her name in red letters in Wikipedia during my first week here as an user, another editor came along and just completed her Bio for me (See Graeme Bartlett (talk) remarks on my user talk page) but the article still failed to meet the standards for inclusion. I asked Karanacs if I could try and attempt to gather the needed references to try and make this right for inclusion and she said I could give it a go. Please take a look at the references I have put together for Michele W.D. to see if the article might be able to meet the inclusion standards now. I have omitted any personal information I have collected thus far until I see if this will be a go or not. Thank You for your time John Francis. Tinkermen (talk) 01:46, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Rewrite FPAF page?

Hi Bearian, I got the notice for speedy deletion (above), and the page was deleted before I got a chance to explain. Just want to let you know beforehand that I will try to rewrite it with a neutral POV, so I hope you won't put a flag on that page. The purpose of creating the page for the foundation (non-profit) is just providing a general description what we do, and what kind of projects we are currently doing, so that people who (accidentally or intentionally) of trying to find out more about us in wikipedia can get the detailed information. It's not to advertise ourselves.
I'm aware we are lacking on the sources still, so that's why I'm going for the neutral POV. Any advice or suggestion would be greatly appreciated, as at least I am still new to being involved in wikipedia. Thanks! Freehelplist (talk) 07:34, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

On 5 November, you added the opening banner "This article needs additional citations for verification." to Aharon Razin.

Energy law

Let me quote the article introduction :

Energy laws govern the use and taxation of energy, both renewable and non-renewable. These laws are the primary authorities (such as caselaw, statutes, rules, regulations and edicts) related to energy. In contrast, energy policy refers to the policy and politics of energy.

So it has been made clear (by original editors) that whatever relates to policy(ies) has no business here. So I deleted the line again. If you think the article should include policy-related information, you may change the scope of the article.--Environnement2100 (talk) 23:53, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I do get your point. But if you never clear up articles, whose definition makes them impossible to maintain, created by people who never come back, you end up with a large number of pages not at all looking like an encyclopedia. Best regards. --Environnement2100 (talk) 23:43, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Brayden Pierce inquiry and concern

Hi Brian,

I hope you are well! I noticed how much you do for Wikipedia and it's quite appreciated on my end. I do marketing for Brayden Pierce. He is a talent that is noteworthy, due to his appearances and recurrings on popular syndicated TV Shows and films that are listed on Wikipedia already, and can be verified by the legitimate, www.IMDB.com . He currently recurs on a popular TV show on The CW, Melrose Place, where over a million viewers tune in weekly for new episodes. He just finished another episode last week. In reference to the super bowl commercial, it can be publicly viewed on you tube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJn6WVOZaqQ . As far as Brayden and music, Brayden plays live frequently, and a myspace page connecting Brayden to Zerowave is viewable at www.myspace.com/zerowaveband. When googling Brayden Pierce, you can see that most pages out of hundreds are in regards to this respective talent. In terms of everything listed on the Wikipedia page, it is factual, and I will be happy to work with you in the spirit of Truth through any concerns you may have now, and in the future. Thank you for keeping Wikipedia a trusted source.

Ove Michaelsen

Under the correct title of the Wiki page, "O.V. Michaelsen," search results will be more extensive. Although O.V. has been cited as "Ove Michaelsen," because of a fictional Ove Michaelsen online, the correct spelling should clear things up.

Please see the references on the page.

It would be a tragedy to discredit a life's work with legitimate sources by glancing over a misspelled name and nominate the author's name for deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.142.74.160 (talk) 06:14, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

O.V. Michaelsen page

Hello Bearian,

I put up the page, my first, and made the mistake of using Ove instead of O.V. but can assure you they are the same person on internet searches. His friends call him Ove and I stupidly used that in the title. Thanks for correcting my mistake. 
In reference to Mr. Michaelsen I'd like to mention that it's a unique and small group of enthusiasts that enjoy the 'wordplay' he does and it doesn't have the sort of mass appeal of other kinds of writing. Still, I believe it would be a shame to have one less reference to this sort of intellectual fun on Wikipedia. There is a page for wordplay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_play but it is very broad in it's interpretation of the subject and O.V.'s (Ove to his friends) incredible palindromes, etc. aren't the  kind of mass market stuff that gets much attention. I think it would be a shame to lose this clever work when 'pop' culture is becoming the ONLY culture left.

If I remove the musician part (he's always been an itinerant musician and songwriter without notable success) would that help? Thanks for your work at Wikipedia and let me know if there is something I can do to keep the page up.

RfA thankspam

Hello, Bearian! This is just a note thanking you for participating in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with a total of 93 support !votes, 1 oppose and 3 editors remaining neutral. While frankly overwhelmed by the level of support, I humbly thank the community for the trust it has placed in me, and vow to use the tools judiciously and without malice. KV5 (Talk • Phils)

Terry Buck

Could you please be so kind as to explain why no stub article was produced after:

2009-12-09T08:56:36 Bearian (talk | contribs) deleted "Terry Buck" ‎ (G10: Attack page or negative unsourced BLP: G10: Attack page or negative unsourced BLP)

I can see how much of what I wrote would come across negative but it had more sources than content sentences and the sources included Australia's largest news outlets, so it was not unsourced. I thought BLP applied to Biographies of Living Persons but I also clearly sourced that the gentleman had been deceased for some years, so it was not BLP. I also put in the effort to explain with a positive source that he was an Olympic athlete, coach, and manager whose efforts paid off in Olympic gold medals and as such satisfied WP:Notability. Having eliminated negative unsourced BLP I must assume that it appeared to constitute an WP:Attack page. Now according to WP:ATP,

If the subject of the article is notable, but the existing page consists primarily of attacks against the subject of the article, and there's no good revision to revert to, then the attack page should be deleted and an appropriate stub article should be written in its place. This is especially important if the page contains biographical material about a living person.

I thought this would somehow obligate you as the wikt:deleter to produce an appropriate WP:Stub. Please tell me if I should expect you to do this over the next day.

Warmest Regards, :)--thecurran Let it off your chest the past 09:09, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I tagged the article for speedy deletion, and since TheCurran asked me to respond: Although I don't remember the article perfectly, when I see an article that appears to have been created chiefly to point out that someone stands accused of child abuse I'll probably flag it pretty quickly. Googling around a bit, I see that (1) Terry Buck actually existed, (2) he's truly dead, and (3) there have indeed been some "explosive allegations" of child abuse. I doubt that's enough to sustain the article, but others may take a different view and I believe you that you created the article in good faith. --Glenfarclas (talk) 09:31, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick response. Even without the allegations, I think he satisfies basic WP:Notability criteria. I think I only added one reference without the allegations so here are a couple more:

You have to ask to receive. I don't do such things automatically, as I am a very busy person in real life, and that is not normal pratice on WP. I'll consider your request and get back to you within the week. You can also go to WP:DRV. Bearian (talk) 22:58, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. I do not mean to comport myself as domineering. Warmest Regards, :)--thecurran Let it off your chest the past 23:11, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm have a hard time finding them in that NYT source you added to the article -- could you review that, please? Thanks. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:46, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: Nursing in pakistan

Nope, not kidding at all. Perhaps a user so concerned about the way an article is nominated for deletion should examine the way he responds to the nominator as well; your message was downright rude in the way it was delivered. Ironholds (talk) 00:14, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Terry Buck

Hi, you deleted an article by that title on the 9th of this month. I've been having a conversation with an IP editor I know and he's come up with a nice collection of information for the article (enough to establish notability and write neutrally). Thus, unless you have any objections, I'll probably recreate the article on his behalf at some point in the not too distant future. Just a courtesy to let you know! All the best, HJMitchell You rang? 16:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion - Siemon band

Sir, I thank you for the opportunity NOT to exercise the opportunity to re-write the 'offending entry' Considering the notification to delete and the opportunity were exercised during Christmas New Year period. Accordingly, under the Wikipedia rules you enforce so 'rapidly' Zippomk2 (talk) 07:22, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

== Sadly Brian my 'working knowledge of the law' and my sister as a Principal Lawyer here in Australia doesn't mean you me or anyone here will be sued. I know the band! The issues I have are long standing with 'kneejerk' speedy deletion policy! This band wouldn't sue, you are a lawyer and I understand you are jumpy, as you say ask and you will receive....you didn't ask either Brian. The page was up for several months without that issue arising. Sadly am over wiki period, thank you for your reply but too late! Wiki is becoming a nightmare for people like me with a basic knowledge of the protocols and finer points. I get that rot at work, Wiki was a creative outlet not a legalistic and procedural jungle with pitfalls around every turn. What I say still goes! Zippomk2 (talk) 11:49, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Chidren's Christmas Parade merge to Children's Christmas Parade

I see you deleted Children's Christmas Parade, which is necessary in order to merge histories. However, Chidren's Christmas Parade still needs to be moved to that title, and the original article at Children's Christmas Parade needs to then be undeleted by an admin to complete the merge. Thanks.  –radiojon (talk) 07:38, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Romanesci is not a hoax - it was also talked about in other wikipedia articles - similar to Aromanian...but distinct

Hello. I can assure you that Romanesci is a real language and is one of the closest cousins of pre-classical Latin. My undergrad in the Classics (Greek and Roman History and Literature) as well as 25 years of studying the link to Roman history/language and Romanesci qualify me as an authority on this topic. A paper was written and submitted in 1993 to Professor Andrew Adams at North Central College (Naperville) on the similarities between Romanesci and Latin. It is also very simliar to Aromanian but different and more authentically related to Latin in many distinct ways. I would be happy to provide more examples and links but I am new to wikipedia and I had a really tough time creating links. Sorry for any confusion or trouble caused. As the Romanae dit Grecu say - Sanitate (to your health). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tchino (talk • contribs) 19:54, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
