Re: About FNaF pages

Look, you're right. This isn't the FNaF wiki. But, hey, if you have a problem with that, you might as well go ahead and delete Lightning (Final Fantasy) or Lee Everett or Clementine (The Walking Dead).

A page you started (Stony Brook Power Plant) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Stony Brook Power Plant, Winner 42!

Wikipedia editor Ormr2014 just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Please add more content and resources. The article is good as is, but could benefit from more information.

To reply, leave a comment on Ormr2014's talk page.

Winner 42, Hello, I noticed today that you are unfamiliar with the Lactoperoxidase-Thiocyanate-Hydrogen Peroxide System, the Firewall of the mammalian (including Human) Immune System.

Perhaps I could elucidate you on it's importance!

Please email me at willwiegman@earthlink.net to continue this discussion or get back to me here. (I'm not totally adept to all the different ways to communicate on Wikipedia.) I do recognize bad information in my field of study at IU, sub-cellular biochemistry, when I see it though.

Hope to hear back from you soon.

Sincerely, Will

@129CBRider: Hello Will, I understand why it is frustrating for information you know is wrong to persist on Wikipedia, but the systems we have in place to prevent unsourced material (even added by experts such as yourself) to be added are also some of the most important ones at preventing factual inaccuracies (either unintentional or malicious) from creeping into the site. If you want to correct the page please use reliable sources and discuss the material with other editors at the talk page. Also it appears you may be using multiple accounts on Wikipedia, please do not do this as it is consider disruptive and makes communication difficult (see policy). To keep communication in one place, please reply below, thank you. Winner 42 Talk to me! 14:45, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

@Winner 42:

The things I added had references to other correct Wiki pages. Chemistry is a hard science and a reaction or metabolic system either exists or it doesn't. Unlike religion or politics which are debateable,the progress of biochemistry progresses as experimental techniques allow deeper understanding of existing chemical reactions going on in the many interconnected metabolic systems in the human body. The debate comes when you have to ask the question, "Where do we look next?", not whether the body produces HCN or SCN during the processing of Amygdalin, for instance: "Thiocyanate is produced by the reaction of elemental sulfur or thiosulfate with cyanide:

   8 CN− + S8 → 8 SCN−
   CN− + S2O32− → SCN− + SO32−

The second reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme sulfotransferase known as rhodanase and may be relevant to detoxification of cyanide in the body." This from the Wiki for Thiocyanate, which is correct.

Is providing reviews or a list of works which reference the subject's publications adequate for proving notability? If the subject's publication appears as a reference in multiple other wikipedia pages does that prove notability? HC401RI (talk) 14:14, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

@HC401RI: Hello, in general being published isn't considered an indicator of notability on Wikipedia unless those publications are reported on by independent, reliable sources. See the inclusion guidelines at WP:BIO and WP:ACADEMICS. Winner 42 Talk to me! 14:49, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

North Kildare Reapers page deletion suggestion

Uploading to Wikicommons on behalf of others

Hi there

You messaged me regarding an image of GKelly Pie and Mash shop that I am trying to display on the Roman Road London page I have created. I'm not sure if this is where I am meant to contact you about this but I'm struggling to understand how to use Wiki.

Many of the shop owners on Roman Road have some fabulous historical photographs of Roman Road back in the early 1900s that they are happy for these to be featured on the Roman Road London wiki page. However they are not able to do this themselves. Many are in their seventies and don't even have an email address. How am I able to upload images to WikiCommons on their behalf?

Kind regards

@Tabithastapely: To paraphrase Elon Musk, Copyright is hard. The easiest way out is if the photographs were taken before 1923, in that case they are public domain and you can upload them all you want because they are no longer protected by copyright law. If not you can try to get them to fill out a copyright release form which would also release their works into the public domain. Would either of these options work for you?

Arthur "Smokestack" Hardy

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement on this article. If there is on thing I'd do, it would be to change the name. Most searches would start with 'smokestack', but I think it should be 'Arthur "Smokestack" Hardy. Thoughts? Robco311 17:43, 14 May 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by BeeCeePhoto (talk • contribs)

@BeeCeePhoto: The general policy on Wikipedia is to name articles based on what they are most commonly referred to as. I think Arthur "Smokestack" Hardy would be a better title as well and have taken the liberty of moving it. I noticed you also took a photo from the museum, do you live around there? If so it would be really nice to have more images of artifacts from the museum for use on Wikipedia if you would be willing to donate them. Winner 42 Talk to me! 17:57, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

I was told by the curator that he has plenty of photos not displayed, I am trying to get him to donate some to the commons. Hardy wasn't just a Volley, and while the sentence looks good, 15 black volunteers were actually made 'Fire Auxiliary' and the Baltimore Civil defense trained them in firefighting, (regular white firefighters wouldn't have done that) awarding certificates in 42'. Arthur got his first, so was the first black fireman. They did not get paid. In 49' the auxiliary force, which responded on 3rd alarms, agitated for pay because of the SHC trio. The mayor ok'd a civil service test, and from that test in 52' hired 10 blacks as paid firemen. The Auxiliaries continued to assist, but Hardy, being 50 years old, certainly didn't qualify to be hired as a civil servant. He stayed at Eng Co.13 and was still going to fires at 90.

Section Prefunded in Bidding Fee Auction.

Winner42, the new section "prefunded bidding fee auction" is a blatant attempt by Miko Lasso to promote the concept behind his website. He is desperately trying to create the false illusion that he has come up with something new but he has been turned down by the patent office. He is the past owner of BidStick, a penny auction site which scammed users and he publically adnmitted to the use of bots. This new venture is his latest con and I don't think Wikipedia should be used to defraud people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.91.119 (talk) 16:24, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

@71.202.91.119: You seem to be correct, at least for that specific section on Wikipedia (Haven't looked into the person's history), that the section should not be there.

Winner42, the poeple deleting the prefunded or buying bids towards an item feature, are penny auction professional. They are affiliated with quibids.com and they are trying to block new technology from coming out to the market place.

Please google the term: penny auction business dilemma. Penny auction business dilemma is commonly known problem in the industry and the only 1click solution to it is prefunding or buying bids towards an item. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.153.80.137 (talk) 21:58, 16 May 2015 (UTC) Prefunding is not really that difficult to understand. In the current model bids are bought towards air. In prefunded model bids are bought by funding items. Only with the prefunded model the auction software can be sure there are atleast 2 potential bidders interested in the auction, hence making bots unnecessary. By you deleting the section you are taking the side of bots and shills. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.153.80.137 (talk) 22:11, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

The Original Barnstar

Greetings Winner_42, Thank you for your prompt answer regarding my incomplete submission of TONY WILSON: I LIKE YOUR STYLE - I was indeed pleasantly surprised by such a quick answer and I was expecting a 3-4 week waiting period which would've given me enough time to complete the 'story' - I have already done a re-edit but I am still shaky regarding how it should be presented and would be very pleased for any assistance which you or anyone else can offer. I don't know if there is a, sort of, 'save your project before submitting' or anything like that - so I'll keep searching through until I learn how to! Thanking you in advance for any suggestions etc. Regards Shawn Randoo Shawn randoo (talk) 17:04, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

@Shawn randoo: Haha, I think this is the first time I've gotten a barnstar for declining someone's draft! The AfC process rarely takes 3-4 weeks, but for some users (particularly if the submission is sourced in a foreign language or is on a highly technical subject), but most of the time people get a response within a week. There is a {{submit}} template on your draft, you can add/remove that depending on whether your draft is ready for review. You draft is saved every time you update the page so there is no need to worry about that. I would recommend you clarify what the article is about in the lead and format it into sections. You also will need footnotes. Hope that helps, and thanks for the barnstar! Winner 42 Talk to me! 22:59, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

RE: Rania Khan

Hi - I note your comment on the deletion discussion for Rania Khan article. You said you were "concerned" that I had misrepresented the consensus of the previous deletion nomination - I don't think you need to be "concerned". There were four votes last time; two of which were "weak" or "very weak". So it was 50% weak at least given the fact one commentator said his keep was "very weak" which should give the weak side additional extra weight. I appreciate this sounds a bit pedantic but it felt like you were criticizing me and accusing me of being deliberately misrepresentive, which I must emphasise was not my intention. Perhaps I should have said "half the people last time thought it was weak or very weak" but I thought just saying people thought it was "weak" was enough to summarize.

Brent Bozell

There are no formal sources for the controversy because it was a largely unrecorded, unpublicized commencement speech. Furthermore, I was present at said Commencement as a graduating student, and am quoting him directly in some parts. If in the event a formal source containing video footage is uploaded, or a transcript of the event prepared, I will cite it accordingly. But your removal of my addition is largely unwarranted. It was not vandalism, and it contained the most direct,relevant source to the event. I respect your job of policing articles for unreferenced additions and vandalism, but you cannot possibly expect a direct transcript of the event or a Facebook column as reference to comments I and others were witness to. They were controversial, biggotted comments in front a large audience, and it is important to I and others who had our commencement marred by this speaker that that addition in the controversy section be kept. That being said, if contrasting opinion of a majority from the Commencent is presented, I concede to having the addition deleted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by NAS8984 (talk • contribs) 02:53, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

@NAS8984: While I understand you are trying to do what's right and I'm not doubting that these comments have been made, Wikipedia requires a very high standard of sources for Biographies of Living People, especially content that could be perceived as negative or critical.

Reviewing

I'm not sure exactly why I am denied reviewing articles, how many complains did I get. I am aware of the policies. I have had interactions with authors that have been fruitful. I have left comments with out declining articles. I took the advice of peers about finding AFC pending articles that can be declined right away. I've approve good articles. I have worked hard on submitting my own articles. Am I suppose to comment on submissions before making a choice to accept or decline? If I can't review, is it okay for me to help authors by editing their articles and advising them? I've real world experience as a writer on a newspaper, about 1000 edits and nearly 6 months of edits, English is my first language. I've asked for someone to come behind me to aid in my decisions. Is it possible I get a mentor? Can I be on probation? Did I review too many articles a day. I admit I am excited to help with Wilipedia, perhaps too enthusiastic? Thank you.

A brownie for you!

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! --Bananasoldier (talk) 00:46, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

@Bananasoldier: Thanks! TAFI is always a fun project to work on. By the way, do you plan on working on the health effects section right now, or can I have a go at it? Just want to avoid edit conflicts. Winner 42 Talk to me! 00:51, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

@Winner 42: Please, go for it! I don't plan on working on it in the near future. In fact, I created that empty section with the hopes of someone filling it in. --Bananasoldier (talk) 00:53, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Family Lives On

Hi Winner42,

I was wondering as to what specifically led to the rejection of the Family Lives On Foundation submission?

I did in fact write it in a neutral and encyclopedic voice that I crafted to the best of my ability, there is no 'peacock' terms used as far as I can see. The only things I would omit would be the phrase 'special feeling' from the Tradition Program and bringing up the fact that Family Lives On Foundation is the only bereavement support tool under Addressing Unmet Needs.

Everything else is as neutral and encyclopedic as can be.

If you have suggestions as to the article, it'd be greatly appreciated but I must urge that the article cannot be changed significantly from where it is at presently.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clemendove99 (talk • contribs) 02:14, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

HI Winner 42. Please can you tell me what else you need for verification? I added quite a few references that are externally verified. Thanks Leon Retief (talk) 14:39, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Leon Retief (talk) 14:39, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

@Leon Retief:You have quite a few references, but none of them provide significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Additionally sites such as Wikipedia, imdb, blogs, or non independent sources are considered unreliable and should generally not be used at all as references. Winner 42 Talk to me! 15:45, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for looking over the Nequa or Problem of the Ages article.

I started on this article over a year ago and was constantly criticized for unreliable sources. The unreliable sources were never pointed out so it became for me a guessing game. Since any source covered by Worldcat is supposedly reliable I used it to check my references. If you have time would you look at the original and critique it so that some learning might take place on my part? Thanks for looking the final copy over. Giant Green Snake (talk) 15:20, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

@Giant Green Snake: No problem, a lot of AfC reviewers have the philosophy that if they see one unreliable source (such as that questionable wordpress blog) they decline the whole article. There are clearly enough reliable sources here to establish notability though so I accepted it. I would recommend splitting some of the sections into paragraph sized chunks to improve readability. I would also add a few more wikilinks to the article, to articles such as Feminist science fiction. (Be careful not to go over board though). Winner 42 Talk to me! 15:41, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Complaint

You gave me a warning about editing the wikipedia page 'Ryan Higa', why is that? Is there something wrong with what I added? Mothedarkfox (talk) 20:43, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

We have a very high standard of sourcing for Biographies of Living People on the English Wikipedia. You will need to find a source for the significance his "lamp obsession" if you want it to be included. Winner 42 Talk to me! 20:52, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

info deleted may 20

Hello Winner 42 I am responding to your message re: deletion of material from Doug O'Neill Wikipedia page. We are first time users, and didn't realize we needed to provide explanation. I am a personal rep for Mr. O'Neill and we recently discovered erroneous and inflammatory information based on references citing noncredible or biased reporting. We would like that information removed before referring to counsel. Is there some way you can take care of this?
