== Gathering Day ==

Hi. Just to let you know that I've asked the copyright team to check that the "Customs and rituals" section of [[Gathering Day]], which you copy edited today, to ask them to ensure that the article complies with the copyright terms of Hilaire Wood's page. However, I've also proposed deletion of [[Gathering Day]] as it appears to muddle two different things. Calan Awst takes place in August and Gathering Day in June (Midsummer's Day). --[[User:Stfg|Stfg]] ([[User talk:Stfg|talk]]) 10:28, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
:[[User:Stfg|Stfg]], thanks for keeping me posted about the copyvio but I am not sure who is Hilaire Wood. I added info from the book of Ellaine Mc Coy. I did not check for copyright issues though. ----
::It was just to notify you of what I did, because you contributed to the article recently and I've prodded it. I believe the reference to McCoy's book that you added is correct for Gathering Day. Hilaire Wood is the author of the reference listed as FN1, which was added by the article creator long ago, not by you. I think it has nothing to do with Gathering Day, and that the article creator confused two things. Since Gathering Day might be a decent topic for an article, if you wanted to take charge of it, I'd be happy for the prod to go -- and the copyvio notice if we can get rid of the Calan Awst aspects. Regards, --[[User:Stfg|Stfg]] ([[User talk:Stfg|talk]]) 08:19, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

:::Actually, I've realised I could solve the problem. I've deprodded and stubbed [[Gathering Day]] using the source you provided, but paraphrasing a little less closely. I've deleted everything to do with Calan Awst from it, removing that bit of copyvio. [[Calan Awst]] was a redirect to Gathering Day; I've pointed it instead to [[Lammas]]. I'm done, it's all yours now. --[[User:Stfg|Stfg]] ([[User talk:Stfg|talk]]) 12:50, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
:::: Thanks for that. I am not from Ireland so would not be very familiar with the festival. Will expand this article -<div style="font-size:12pt;color:cyan;">'''[[User:Wikishagnik|WikiShagnik]]'''</div> ([[Special:Contributions/Wikishagnik|Contribs]] • [[User talk:Wikishagnik|Talk]]) 22:00, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

:::::You've found more than I thought there would be about it, and it's beginning to look like a nice article now. I've just popped in to position punctuation before the ref tags, which is the Wikipedia style. Hope that's OK. --[[User:Stfg|Stfg]] ([[User talk:Stfg|talk]]) 09:06, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

== Mausala Parva ==

Hi again. That was quite a brave undertaking! I'm impressed that you managed to reduce the article by selecting material from what was already there rather than starting from scratch. I hope this will make it more likely that your approach will be accepted. The fact that two other editors have started to take it from there is encouraging. Your notes on the talk page and the Indian project page were a good idea too.

What I would recommend now is to leave the article alone for a while and see what comes up. After a week or two it should become clear whether the interested editors are happy to let the article develop from its current state. If you like, you can now put the article in your section of the GOCE drive page and mark it as "completed". The word count is 2958, I think. This doesn't stop you doing more on the article if you like, but I think you are already entitled to credit for it. If you do that, I will add a "checked" mark for it.

I hope you won't mind, but I'm going to go in there and fix some typos, tweak some sentence structures and remove the copyedit tag. The tag needs to go now, so that others don't take it on. Hope that's OK. --[[User:Stfg|Stfg]] ([[User talk:Stfg|talk]]) 10:48, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
: Thanks for that. I have added this article to the backlog elimination drive list, but I am not seriously interested in the drive because of a slow internet connection and my exams coming up next month. I edit more as a distraction between studies. I will leave this article alone for now and see how other editors work on it. Bye! -Wikishagnik 04:21, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

::Fair enough. The {{tl|GOCEreviewed}} template is for when we remove a {{tl|copyedit}} tag without doing any copy editing, because the article is unsuitable for some reason. As you and I both did work on it, it didn't need to be {{tl|GOCEreviewed}} too. Good luck with your upcoming exams. Best, --[[User:Stfg|Stfg]] ([[User talk:Stfg|talk]]) 08:32, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I see a note on the talk page of [[University of St. La Salle]] that you copied some material into the article with [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_St._La_Salle&diff=481359806&oldid=475196936 this edit]. I haven't checked to see that you have proper permission to do so, that isn't my current question, I am merely informing you that because much of the article appeared to be a copyright violation, it has been restored to an earlier version with removes your edit. If you have proper authorization to use the material you added, feel free to add it again.--[[User:Sphilbrick|<span style="color:#002868;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">SPhilbrick</span>]][[User talk:Sphilbrick|<span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span>]] 14:12, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
:Because I revdel'd the intervening versions to hide the copyvio, your original edit may not be easy for you to see. I can recover it for you (I think) if you want to try again, just let me know.--[[User:Sphilbrick|<span style="color:#002868;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">SPhilbrick</span>]][[User talk:Sphilbrick|<span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span>]] 14:17, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Art Ellison]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:Art Ellison]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. 

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit '''[[Talk:Art Ellison|the page's talk page directly]]''' to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these administrators]] to request that the administrator [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication of deleted content|userfy]] the page or email a copy to you. <!-- Template:Db-notability-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[USER:reddogsix|<span style="color:red;">red</span><span style="color:black;"><b>dog</b></span><span style="color:black;"><i>six</i></span>]] ([[User talk:reddogsix#top|talk]]) 06:55, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

The DR/N that you commented on was not yet opened. For that reason your comment has been moved to the main article space. it is unlikely this case will move forward as there is yet to be participation from involved parties with only a single exception.--[[User:Amadscientist|Amadscientist]] ([[User talk:Amadscientist|talk]]) 05:52, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
: Am I as a volunteer not allowed to open a DR/N? -[[User:Wikishagnik|Wikishagnik]] ([[User talk:Wikishagnik#top|talk]]) 06:14, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
::Not when there are no participants. Please review the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard/Volunteering#Advice_and_encouragement guidelines] about opening the discussion before openings comments are made. The filing needs more than a single opening from an individual editor. You can notify each editor that the case is in danger of closing if you feel that there is a chance that the filing will move forward, but this case shows clear issues and violations of BLP policy so I decided it was not worth doing so this particular time. However here is the link to the "Ping" templates to use in the futuer when you see a filing not getting enough participants: [[Template:DRN participation ping]]. This can generally persuade editors if they are interested and will usually recieve some comment if not. Also, if you have more you wish to say, or one of the templates doesn't cover your comment or concerns you can use the '''<code><nowiki>{{subst:Dispute resolution noticeboard olive branch|1=Put your message here. ~~~~}}</nowiki><code>''' template and add you message inside it. (This can also be given to editors as a barnstar).

::Also, always identify yourself with a friendly greeting and introduction and state clearly that you are a volunteer with something like: ''"Hello, I am "Username", a volunteer here at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard. I am opening this section for discussion. (then layout your concerns in a brief statement)".--[[User:Amadscientist|Amadscientist]] ([[User talk:Amadscientist|talk]]) 09:18, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

:Hi.  I am not an admin, but I saw the thread at ANI and thought I would take a look at it.  I left you and the other editor a note at the article's talk page.  I personally feel that shows like that are a total waste of space and time, and by extension, so are the Wikipedia articles on them.  But the fact remains that waaaay too many people like that stuff and trying to get rid of the articles on here would be about as productive as trying to get rid of the [[Pokemon]] articles.  Please don't be offended, but I really do agree that you PROD'd that article in error.  Take a look at my note on the article talk page for details.  Did the other editor make way too big a deal out of it?  Heck, ya he did.  But, he appears to be pretty much a [[WP:SPA]] editor on TV reality shows, and as I mentioned at the talk page, doesn't seem to grasp [[WP:N]] all that well.  SPA editors are not always a problem.  I edit a lot on high school articles and many of them are maintained almost completely by SPA's.  Who else is going to care about a school in BF nowhere that graduates 15 kids a year except one of those 15 kids, ya know?  I know I don't want to spend any time working on reality tv articles, and I doubt you do, so given that they are not going to go away, why don't you just do like I do and ignore them completely?  You will run into many editors like the one you are in conflict with if you don't, IMHO.  Anyway, I hope tomorrow is better for you and I wish you happy editing!  Take care.

==DRN==
Hi Wikishagnik, Thanks for your apology on my talk page after receiving an email from [[User:TransporterMan]]. I've left you a more complete message there if you care to read it. However, your continued presence and interference in the case in question, makes your apology a bit hollow. There are two cases awaiting moderation. Why don't you leave the case I am moderating,[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Hava_Nagila] and which you are undermining and disrupting, and take a case that needs a moderator? I don't get this.  [[User:Steven Zhang]] (DRN volunteer coordinator) any comments on this issue? --<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS,sans -serif"> — [[User:Keithbob|<b style= "color:#085;"><i>Keithbob</i></b>]] • [[User_ talk:Keithbob|<span style="color:#035;">Talk</span>]] • </span> 01:31, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
:Have to agree with Keithbob here. Sometimes more than one volunteer is needed when a dispute gets a bit out of hand, but I think Keithbob has this one down pat. I'd really encourage you to take on a case that needs another volunteer - drop me or one of the other DRN guys a line if you need some tips :). <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Steven Zhang|<span style="color:#078330;">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Zhang|<span style="color:#2875b0;">Zhang</span>]] <sup>[[WP:DRN|<span style="color:#d67f0f;">Help resolve disputes!</span>]]</sup></span> 11:12, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
:: Wow! I really like the way [[User:Keithbob]] was all polite and diplomatic on his own talk page and chose to go caustic on mine. And [[User:Steven Zhang]], you may feel that Keithbob has it down pat! but that really does not explain why the DRN about this song says ''Needs Attention'' for so long? --[[User:Wikishagnik|Wikishagnik]] ([[User talk:Wikishagnik#top|talk]]) 19:41, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
:::"Needs attention" is a case status that happens by default when the case has been opened for longer than a pre-detemined time. It doesn't necessarily mean that it needs more volunteers, but it is a guide for volunteers to see if it has been abandoned. In this case, Keith is still working on it, and it might be a situation where he can manage on his own, as he has indicated. There are other cases that do need assistance, perhaps you could look at one of those? <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Steven Zhang|<span style="color:#078330;">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Zhang|<span style="color:#2875b0;">Zhang</span>]] <sup>[[WP:DRN|<span style="color:#d67f0f;">Help resolve disputes!</span>]]</sup></span> 23:49, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Wikishagnik, I have to disagree with your comment that Kiethbob was being "caustic". The volunteer was being frank and honest. But I am very sure it was not meant to be mean spirited in any way. Sometimes too many cooks can spoil the broth.--[[User:Mark Miller|Mark Miller]] ([[User talk:Mark Miller|talk]]) 23:56, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
: {{User | Steven Zhang }}, from my own R&D I feel this is an issue with Earwig Bot and its settings need to be tweaked, so that it does not red-flag a discussion in progress (even ones that threaten to go stale). {{User | Mark Miller}}, in view of your opinion it would help me a lot personally if you can explain why {{User | Keithbob }} on his own talk page says ''Thanks for coming by and I sincerely appreciate your apology and hopefully we have both learned something from this'' while his comments on my talk page are not so friendly.--[[User:Wikishagnik|Wikishagnik]] ([[User talk:Wikishagnik#top|talk]]) 08:37, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
::Yes, as Steven explained this false status of Needs Attention is an issue that is currently being discussed on the DRN talk page. Meanwhile, If I sounded caustic, I apologize. Let me try again. What I am asking is if you could please leave the Hava Nagilla case and take up another case that has no moderator. That would diffuse this whole situation.

== DRN redux ==

I ''really'' like your opening statement on Oscar López Rivera.

I'd been thinking about that case overnight, considering taking it, so let me pass on a couple of ideas that you've probably thought of them already. So FWIW:
* They're throwing court cases and sentencing documents back and forth at one another. They need to be aware that those sources are not usable as reliable sources under [[WP:BLPPRIMARY|BLPPRIMARY]], which says in pertinent part:<blockquote>Do not use trial transcripts ''and other court records, or other public documents,'' to support assertions about a living person. ... Where primary-source material has been discussed by a reliable secondary source, it may be acceptable to rely on it to augment the secondary source, subject to the restrictions of this policy, no original research, and the other sourcing policies.</blockquote> (Emphasis added.)
* Just because a crime is officially classified under the law as a "violent crime" does not mean that all possible acts that can constitute the crime are necessarily physically violent, any more than the fact that Florida is officially referred to as the Sunshine State means that there is 100% sunshine there. When used that way, the term is a classification, not a definition.
* I was going to point them to the very specific language from [[WP:SYN|SYN]] that:<blockquote>Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. If one reliable source says A, and another reliable source says B, do not join A and B together to imply a conclusion C that is not mentioned by either of the sources. This would be a synthesis of published material to advance a new position, which is original research. "A and B, therefore C" is acceptable only if a reliable source has published the same argument in relation to the topic of the article.</blockquote>
Just some ideas. Use 'em or lose 'em, take 'em or leave 'em, it's completely your call. Best regards, [[User:TransporterMan|<span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; color:blue; font-variant:small-caps;">'''TransporterMan'''</span>]] ([[User talk:TransporterMan|<span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:x-small;">TALK</span>]]) 13:48, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
: Thanks for your ideas and yes, I will keep them, they are good. I will wait for the Wikiproject Criminal Biography to respond, as I will need some consensus about this. --[[User:Wikishagnik|Wikishagnik]] ([[User talk:Wikishagnik#top|talk]]) 14:21, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

: Lets not go down the road to blaming individuals for the failure or success of a DRN. There is no rule or law that says all Wikipedia editors '''have''' to agree with consensus, and '''have''' to start editing the way others want them to edit. Remember, consensus does not mean a solution that makes everyone happy, it is simply something that everyone can live with. So, if editors stop themselves from making changes that go against the consensus, it's enough. Also understand that not agreeing to what is being said in a discussion, does not imply disruptive editing. All Wikipedia editors are entitled to their own opinions and I personally respect that. Admin blocks and such work best when there is a strong presence of disruptive editing such as 3RR, plagiarism etc. and simply sticking to your point of view in a discussion is not on that list. I hope I have been able to address all your concerns. For now, lets assume good faith and I wish happy editing to all Wikipedia editors (even those who don't agree with me).--[[User:Wikishagnik|Wikishagnik]] ([[User talk:Wikishagnik#top|talk]]) 09:58, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Abdullah Abbas|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

== [[Daisaku Ikeda]] DRN discussion ==

I saw your comments at the DRN discussion above. This comment isn't going to be much (if any) help, and I regret that. But particularly for a lot of topics of this nature, relating to current events and/or people that are subjects of contentious discussion in the few reliable sources we can find which do discuss them, sometimes the best thing to do at least in the short term might be to try to establish as much as possible what potential articles have the established notability to exist and see what encyclopedic content might be relevant enough for inclusion in them. This will still unfortunately lead to some questions regarding the amount of weight to give the potential subtopics in the main article, but where spinout can be achieved it tends to reduce the contentiousness of the discussion. Sometimes, anyway. And, particularly for topics like this which tend to be covered primarily in foreign language (in this case Japanese) sources, seeing if there is any way to find people who are comparatively expert in what are and are not so much reliable sources in those languages to take part in the discussion would probably help. I, of course, don't know a damn thing about Japan or Japanese culture, and I wish that weren't the case. 

Anyway, like I said, it probably isn't much help, if any, but maybe it might be of some. [[User:John Carter|John Carter]] ([[User talk:John Carter|talk]]) 00:25, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Anserated|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised.
