Hi. When you recently edited Dexetra, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Android and Siri (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. A few weeks ago, this edit was made from my account while I was away from my PC. On returning, I reverted it. May I please request that this specific revision be deleted from the history of the page? The page was edited in such a way as to reveal personal information (namely place of work) of the subject of the article (Sarah Eadon). Having spoken to Sarah personally, she has asked me to request this deletion for privacy reasons. I found your username in CAT:REVDEL and I would like to ask for your help with this.
Thank You.

Dear Graeme,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Please see my response to your comment there, I think you may have misunderstood the situation.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 18:38, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Graeme, perfect timing for an admin to contact me. I have recently become aware that I don't have good sense of what the Wikipedia community wants to include or delete on Wikipedia. I need an independent third party administrator to go through and review any articles I created.
If you believe any of the articles I started should not exist, you have my permission to delete them in the manner you see fit-- if I'm the only contributor, just instadelete is fine for me. It's important that Wikipedia maintain coherent standards and to the extend I haven't done that, I need help in cleaning up any mess I've made.
It would be best if a 3rd party admin like you or someone else on your team were to do this, but if needed I'll take the time to go through and nominate those I suspect may lack sufficient notability. Vivian Ho, for example, should be reviewed for potential deletion, I think, knowing what I know now about the deletion process. --HectorMoffet (talk) 12:07, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Graeme. I had started a discussion on Charles Dickens page over one editors, Yogesh's, point of view section on the article. I brought up the excessive non white emphasis throughout the article (installed by Yogesh) which is out of proportion than what you would find in a book on him, and i had assumed it would be a regular discussion. However as i read various contributors comments on the user i became concerned. First concern personal attacks from the contributor, second concern white Christian accusations, third concern "white supremacist" accusations, fourth concern article was being used as a soapbox to advance a personally held political position (an example being the 'Franklin incident' section was longer tnan 'Dickens Later Years', which read like a history of the incident with nothing to do with Dickens), fifth concern warned of user's history and referred to ANI, INB. Surely with these viewpoints any impartiality is out the window? The other contributors seek an accurate, NPOV, balanced, weighted section with consensus, this is impossible with an editor with views i mentioned (who has also been warned of 3RR which Tom Reedy placed on his talkpage). Thats six editors (that ive come across) that have made comments on the user over just the past week, and looking at the article history there are others that extend back 3 years (he has also complained of an Anglo-American bias). I had hoped Dickens page would be improved by editors who had done similar with Shakespeare, rather than languish as class C, but one editor ensures it remains at thet level. A highly respected impartial editor, Old Moonraker, refuses to comment on the article due to the users personal attacks. The user ignores policy and plants his material at will, regardless of wiki requirement of NPOV, weight. Given the plethora of complaints by many editors, the partial viewpoints held by the user, i cant see any other alternative but a topic ban, which allows for edits by proxy.

Hey, sorry I only just now noticed your comments here. Unfortunately (as I had not noticed your comment), I had updated the Account creator page, gotten it reverted, subsequently posted the suggested addition on the talk page of the relevant page, then posted the material back seeing no objection. Phew... That said, now that I've seen your comment, please do feel free to revert the changes in case you don't agree with the same. I'm quite neutral about the same. It's just that I realize that in the course of the ACC tool becoming what it is, the policy pages weren't updated concurrently to document the importance of the Interface administrators who already have the right to approve/disapprove users from using the ACC tool interface. That's a much higher right than approving users to go beyond the daily account creation limit by giving them the account creator flag. In my opinion, as the Interface administrators are already identified to WMF, are highly trusted, and have a right higher than giving the account creator flag, then why not give them the procedural go-ahead to grant the account creator flag too? Oh man... and I said I was neutral about it :) Btw, it's wonderful to see you around always. Best. Wifione Message 16:17, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Howdy Graeme. I noticed that you removed the category Lazarus taxon from the category page and added Extinct species. I was just wondering, since species are actually found not to be extinct, would that category not be confusing? I don't know enough about how things are categorized really, but I would like to learn more about this. Also, this is the first time I created a category page. I was concerned because it seemed like if there should have been a page for Lazarus taxon, there already would have been. Seems like such an obvious category. I am guessing the work I have done on the category is all good, or it would have been deleted. Can you let me know? Best, --Jsderwin (talk) 10:55, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

I've done many more edits, I've been working on some of the self-contradiction and other areas of the backlogs. I am aware that I am highly active on the Anti-vandalism tool STiki and AfC projects. Which floods out my contributions frequently. I'm on IRC #wikipedia-en-help and #wikipedia-en-helpers often if you prefer to interview me in person. Though I should sum up my request specifically as this: I want to assist with the Backlogged projects; and that is the best way I know to maximize my efficiency and ability to make Wikipedia better. I have no intention to misuse or tamper with readability on a page. I'll focus on whatever aspects you want or even test me to show that I can and will use it properly.

Hi there. A student, Jamal, has done some work on the Genetically modified food article. S/he added a History section on March 6. It is so poorly done that I think it should be fixed or removed entirely. It appears that next to no effort was put into the edit and no refs are provided. Another editor and I responded to his/her talk page note and s/he has not bothered to answer. The other editor posted some very good advice and a quick check of the suggested article revealed that at least part of Jamal's edit is not correct.
On the other hand, perhaps Jamal did try to do a good edit and this is beyond his/her ability. Unless s/he came to the article with at least some understanding of genetics it would be a lot to expect of a new editor to write a history of GM foods, IMO. At any rate, Jamal should at least leave a note on the talk page. Gandydancer (talk) 20:44, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

I am aware that they will have no further effect on the debate, but can you warn AkramBinWallid (he ignored a warning already on being an SPA and removed his SPA tag, which is no longer next to his comment) and the two sock ips 114.229.254.215 and 114.229.158.96?

!{{{Grade}}} |-

So I suggest that you move it back to the sandbox name and fix it first, otherwise it will be deleted again. At least put a no include comment to say what it is and how it is used. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:33, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
With regards to: "Some canvassing is valid, others may be trying to manipulate the outcome. Its sanctions are against the canvaser not those canvased, so statements and arguments from people responding to these calls will still be considered."
I really don't think this can be allowed to stand.
Firstly unless you are going to checkuser everyone who commented in the discussion you can't catch the canvasser even if they don't leave the comfort of their own home, and I doubt you can justify such a widespread check user on privacy grounds. Secondly even if you do checkuser everyone who commented in the discussion, you can easily avoid it by travelling to a different city and/or country, or you could canvass without commenting in the discussion yourself with a secondary account and thus avoid getting checked with a checkuser.
Even if you can catch them (which isn't necessarily easy as per the above paragraph) the worst you can do is give the user in question an indefinite block, I'm sure there are plenty of partisans in this discussion (and many others) who would be prepared to take that kind of hit to make their point.
On a separate point there is the sheer scale of the inappropriate canvassing in this case, I would estimate that between confirmed sock puppets from Hong Kong, the inappropriate canvassing on Chinese wiki and the inappropriate canvassing of editors with an interest in the Republic of China that at least 50% of the users who !voted against the proposal were bought to the discussion by nefarious means. In comparison on the support side we are probably talking about 10-15% in total, including those bought to the discussion by the inappropriate canvassing for the oppose site, the levels of inappropriate canvassing here isn't really comparable.
Even if you decide to close the discussion as move in this case what's to stop even more outrageous canvassing to take place next time (maybe for a different topic, maybe for this topic) and then the balance being tipped. Given this proposed move was heavily advertised legitimately there isn't really anything else that can be done to drown out the inappropriate canvassing that took place for this move request
If you take a hard line on canvassing and catch a few additional people up in the canvassing effort I really don't see this as a big deal, making the effect of the canvassing negative makes it less likely to take place in future which has to be a good thing for the project. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 20:18, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Do I have to take this to ANI (and if needed Arbcom) to get this dealt with properly then? I really consider that unfortunate and it would be much better if you guys clarified this with the wider community rather than someone partisan doing so. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 18:19, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
I must start off by saying thanks for your efforts in trying to resolve the mess on that page. You have my admiration and sympathy.
I was just wondering if it is possible and/or reasonable for you and your two colleagues to say something about that fact that a large number of editors, mostly on the Oppose side, insisted on not registering? And I mean saying something more than than fact that it's not compulsory to register. As I said many times in the discussion, I found it almost impossible to follow conversations when several of the participants were just using IP addresses. My mind just doesn't work in a way the allows me to easily and separately recognise several different IP addresses contributing to a conversation. I think it made many of the conversations there even less coherent than they already were.
Obviously, as mentioned in discussion, there are also other issues with not registering, such as IP addresses changing, etc.
I know you guys don't make policy, but you will be setting a precedent in some areas, so any chance that the IP address issue could be addressed? HiLo48 (talk) 19:13, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Graeme. You left a message asking me to add a source to the above image but I already have done. It's http://www.stoneygateconservation.org/images/December%202010.pdf. This is the December 2010 newsletter of The Stoneygate Conservation Area Society, Leicester , England. I am a committee member of the Society and we have a free use policy on all newsletter material, as long as it is credited. I don't understand. Is there something I've missed? Please advise or, alternatively, please use the lower resolution image that I have just uploaded. Thanks.Leicesterscribe (talk) 22:19, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Graeme Bartlett. I did add sources to the wikipedia page that I am trying to create, but when I copy and paste the new page, the new ref tags do not show up. It just shows the original sources I added. But I have added 5 new sources from external sites and also an independent article. Some of my sections do have two references on them for example summer bat count, independent shore bird project, and calling amphibians project. Can you help me with this problem? Should I show you the page somewhere else?
Thank you for your help.riverline5 (talk) 23:44, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello. You have a new message at Wikipedia talk:School and university projects/NNU Class Project/Winter 2012#Main points from April 6 IRC meeting's talk page. 04:28, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
In the log summary of File:Cheers cast 1982 bw.jpg, you said: "well it may aloso (you mean, "also") be public domain due to lack of correct copyright notce, but we are using this as non free". From what I've heard, "All rights reserved" in post-1977 works imply copyrights. I've heard that from we hope and some other people. If you are copyright expert, what does this imply:
Omission of notice must have violated "an express requirement in writing that, as a condition of the copyright owner's authorization of the public distribution of copies or phonorecords, they bear the prescribed notice."
The 1976 Act no longer requires copyright registration for created works: the law protects works that either display faulty copyright notice or omits it by three things: either registration before or within five years after first publication, correcting a faulty notice or an omission in many other copies, or the italicized statement above. --George Ho (talk) 04:45, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello.
I am not certain if this is relevant, but the administrator who deleted The Odin Brotherhood article in 2006 was later expelled from wikipedia for misbehavior. Here was one of his names.
Also, when a delete tag was added to the article recently, almost all of the content was first removed. Somehow, that doe not seem fair.
Anyway, thank you for removing the "speedy delete" --Heathenguy (talk) 23:42, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the reply.

Hi Graeme. Thank you for your message and the actions you took regarding the above article. I am glad I have now been credited for the article and that you have messaged the relevant users of their actions. So that I am not dumfounded by further actions of more experienced users, are there any obvious next steps that I need to take or the article will go through that I need to be aware of? Any specific advice would be welcome. I will contact you in future in relation to this article if I have any questions. All the best.
Hello. Regarding this comment, I actually rewrote much of the page. There was a lot of original research and synthesis that first needed tidying up, including a copyrighted pic that has since been deleted. Only then did I start the article proper, rendering the duplicate draft superfluous per A10. As such, if I made any error, it's perhaps in not requesting a history merge. I've also had an uninvolved admin look over the page in its new form, and he saw no issues with it. In future, if you have an issue, please take it up with me directly for a quick resolution. Thanks, Middayexpress (talk) 02:17, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I'm one of the various people who participated in the creation and the updating of the page about the fourth season of RuPaul's Drag Race. The thing is, I wasn't registered when I made a lot of these participations. You have locked the page, and now I can't do what I liked : type what happened in this episode or that episode... Is there any way you could unlock the page ? If it's impossible, is there any way I can at least modify it time to time ? Being able to sum up the Finale would be great...
Thanks a lot !

Hello,
I don't think I'll be able to edit 10 pages in 4 days, it's going to be tough because I have exams. But the Finale is airing Monday, April 23rd and I'll surely make the recap the day following. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whatisitexactly (talk • contribs) 19:50, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello, thanks for those quick answers ! Well there's an episode airing Monday called RuPaul Rewind and it's basically a review of the whole season with extra scenes, audition tapes and interviews with the Top 3 of the last season. So I can do the Finale recap and the Rewind recap in a row. I'll try to edit my sandbox but right now I have some integration calculus waiting for me ;) Thank you for everything !

Hi.. i noticed you on the Requests for page protection page. I'm requesting semi-protection on the Rita Ora article as although shes British (moved to London the same year she was born) her ethnicity (Kosovo-Albanian.. and born in what was then Yugoslavia) clearly stirs up some political tension. Her page has only just come off full lock where no-one could edit. I don't think temporary semi-protection would suffice as this problem will almost certainly occur again, so im requesting permanent semi-protection. Thanks. JJ 65 (talk) 21:58, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Graeme Bartlett. As a closing admin of the recent Taiwan/ROC discussion, I would appreciate it if you (as an experienced admin) could take a look at this discussion and give me your opinion. I'm new to this wiki and not thoroughly familiar with policy, but it appears that this discussion has many of the same problems as the Taiwan/ROC discussion. Most of the opposers seem to be Apple fanboys who have little policy-based arguments. If you could take a look at my reasons and tell me what you think, it would be greatly appreciated.

The article Superstatistics has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Melcombe (talk) 13:13, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Iron dihydride requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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 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's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. –sumone10154(talk • contribs) 15:23, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
