Proactiv
edit
Hi Arxiloxos. I wanted to drop you a note with a similar message as the ones I've left SummerPhD and a couple editors from the Proactiv AfD. I'll be helping Guthy-Renker make contributions to the Talk page with a potential conflict of interest and wanted to introduce myself. My approach to COI is to offer contributed content for consideration on the Talk page, while leaving editorial decisions up to those that serve the reader's best interest. My hope is if you have a bit more patience left in you, you might be willing to spend a bit of time vetting my work and collaborating with us on the Talk page. I will aspire to demonstrate exceptional integrity and quality of work to make it worth your time to help us. Cheers. CorporateM (Talk) 18:26, 9 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

You deleted my post within 8 minutes! You must have been waiting patiently by your laptop. Coincidence, huh? Nobody else knew he stepped down just hours before the post. I am convinced you are being payed for your "service". I have also noticed that, in the past, you have deleted everything about Carmine Blaine Marcello. Do not be surprised if you are investigated for this. Have a nice day. Bridge70002 (talk) 22:12, 27 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Re: Kid Cudi
edit
Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I was unaware that Wikipedia's definition of "alumnus" varied from the standard meaning of the word. Are there also Wikipedia guidelines suggestion how to mention that these additional people listed did not graduate? It's a tad misleading to assert that the person is an alumnus while they simply attended for a certain amount of time and that could be confusing for readers.

Monroe H. Freedman
edit
Hi Arxilos,
Thanks for the great job on cleaning up the Monroe H. Freedman article. It looks to be much more in line with WP standards. I added the Proposed Deletion because the article was written as self promotion. It looks a whole lot better now. I'll contribute to it later if I see something that can be added or shored up with citations/references.
Have a nice day.

High Schools vs ISDs
edit
Regarding undoing my call for deletion:
I see, and understand, that there is a "longstanding practice" of maintaining separate pages for schools and ISDs. I personally think this makes no sense for a school district with only one school, but if that's longstanding practice, I'll respect that.
However, there are still issues of inaccuracy and redundancy on these pages. The Milford Independent School District contains the following: "Milford ISD is consolidated into one large building"... If the ISD is "consolidated into" the high school, then how are they in any way separate? This should probably represent that "Milford ISD currently contains one high school, Milford High School"; I'm not going to make those edits, though.
If this is supposed to be one article about the school district and another about the school itself, then some things should go on one page or the other. For example, typically sports programs are delineated by school, not by school district; it would be more proper to list the sports programs on the high school's page, and not have the (nearly redundant, but slightly different) list of sports programs offered at the school on the ISD's page.
I'd like to improve some of the school/ISD pages, starting with this one, for consistency. However, it'd be good to know what kind of consistency is "allowed" first, so I'm asking.
Me again you again we meet again huh? heh heh. Okay it's pretty clear i'm a flat out failure with deletion so I might just leave it alone before I wind up with a block. Comments / suggestions please? MIVP - (Can I Help?) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 12:46, 2 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Woolrich

You'll notice that I deleted it as R2, implausible redirect. "Woolrich, Pennsylvania" is a title for a community, not for a company; we do not redirect names of company towns to the companies.

Hi Arxiloxos, I noticed that you were recently taking a look at the NFLPA Game article. I'm actually working on behalf of the NFLPA to make some updates to related Wikipedia articles (proposing and discussing changes only) and they've asked me to look into the one for the NFLPA Game. And you're right, the article certainly is inaccurate. I've posted a summary of what I think has happened to it over at WikiProject:NFL. If you'd like to take a look, and weigh in about how to handle the situation, I'd certainly appreciate it! Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 15:20, 17 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
By saying that Cheerleading in the United Kingdom is offered as a sport, it is greatly implied that it is a sport. In your source that calls it a sport, is titled "Schools axe real sport in the Craze for Cheerleading". This also implies that cheerleading is not a "real sport." It also states the primary purpose of cheerleading to not be competition, but being to egg on sports team. In nearly every definition of sport, this violates a key concept. This therefore states that even by Wikipedia's own definition of a sport that it is not a sport. IN addition, your source cannot be viewed in its entirety by the majority of people, giving only partial info to many. Your bad-faith edits on the page are vandalism and need to be stopped.69.118.168.2 (talk) 02:46, 24 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Pella (company)
edit
Good job with the sourcing on Pella (company). However, of the three sources you added, only one is significant (Forbes), the other two are local coverage and what seems to be a business directory profile. Getting close to surviving AFD, but not quite yet.
This started when I answered an OTRS query from a PR firm representing another company, basically asking why does Pella get an article when they don't. My answer was that the existence of other articles that fail to meet WP:CORP is not a valid reason to include more such articles, and, seeing the abysmal quality of the sourcing in Pella (company), I prodded it. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:54, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Grace Inez Crawford
edit
Before you accuse the next person of systematic bias, as you did for me on Grace Inez Crawford, maybe ask yourself whether the claims in the article would be accepted for an article about a current living person. The claim is that she promoted and protected the artistic legacy of her husband, was editor of Art and Industry and later published her memoirs. On top of the tremendous amount of name-dropping in the article and the fact it was clearly written to promote the Bryn Mawr College Library collection, I didn't see a particular reason to keep the article. I refute any accusations of bias. Sionk (talk) 19:10, 6 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
I certainly see what you're saying now. I jumped the gun a little out of frustration with so many two sentence "articles". I have removed the tag for Reneau and also found some resources through the statewide newspapers and expanded the article. I'll work on the other articles you referenced next.

Thanks (Wisconsin articles)
edit
Thanks for this. Does this one look notable to you? It's only claim to fame seems to be that Vince Lombardi attended church there. (Its inclusion in the Packers Heritage Trail is solely because of that.) Aside from the single cite to a newspaper article, I've found no other independent coverage of the church. 71.139.152.220 (talk) 20:44, 5 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I think that a 100+ year old local landmark church like this can sustain an article. I wouldn't dismiss the Lombardi connection, either, since it's discussed in multiple news articles [3][4] and books. Of course my opinion is certainly not the last word on the subject.

Frustrating
edit
Hi-It gets frustrating on Wikipedia. For example I made improvements on the St. Willebrod Catholic Church which did not satisfied an IP/anon editor. I strongly feel IP/anon editors should be required to get an account and they should be prohibited from commenting on deleted articles, notable issues, reporting registered editors for offences like violating the 3RR rule, etc. And then I took the time to add the WP Wisconsin template to new categories only to find out some of the categories were created by a banned editor-sockpuppet and we are getting too many categories as it is. There are times I think about retirement. I know of one registered editor who retired in part due to the IP/anon editors and this registered editor was reported by an IP/anon for violating the 3RR rule. I think of retiring from Wikipedia but as of right now I can't. Thanks-RFD (talk) 12:32, 6 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ivanpah inadvertent Electric->Atomic changes

Hey Arxiloxos,
Many apologies for the inadvertent edits on the Ivanpah article - the Electric->Atomic conversions were the result of a novelty browser extension gone awry, and certainly not intentional! The rest of my edit, however, was intentional, and I believe were constructive and improved the article. Are the mistaken changes were the only part you (justifiably!) took issue with? If so, I'd like to restore the edits I intended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spellcheck (talk • contribs) 00:10, 2 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Interwiki links are certainly something I considered; however Google Translation of several samples fails to confirm that those articles are any more developed. Now, as you say, N criteria differ across projects - I know for a fact that pl wiki, for example, is more inclusive. For that reason, however, existence of other language versions is not a major indication of notability, particularly not after one Google Translates the target entry (a la OTHERCRAPEXISTS). Now, I am totally open to individual deprods; if you think I made an error and some of the prodded articles are in fact notable, please deprod them and list your rationale on the user page. Please, however, don't deprod them simply due to the interwiki existence, if you think that another language article makes specific claims of notability that our article is missing, please explain those in detail on the talk, just like one would have to do during a proper AFD. Still, I am totally for saving any of those articles that can be saved - but I doubt that many can be; vast majorities are nothing but stub resumes of people who clearly fail WP:BIO.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:17, 25 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

PROD on Saint Lawrence Academy
edit
Hello,
You removed the PROD for Saint Lawrence Academy (Santa Clara) on the count of "this school is clearly notable under longstanding consensus about high schools". What exactly is the "longstanding consensus about high schools"? --Mr. Mario (talk) 01:16, 25 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Verified high schools are generally deemed notable and kept: see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes#Education, Wikipedia:Notability (high schools). There may be some room to argue when it comes to the very smallest unaccredited private schools, but even there the likelihood of notability is substantial; see the current discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oakhill Christian School. A school like Saint Lawrence Academy (Santa Clara) is far above any notability threshhold that would be enforced around here. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:30, 25 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Since you've taken down the PROD notice, I've nominated the article for deletion. My rationale can be found on the article's talk page, in reply to your comment there. Once a PROD notice comes down, it cannot be put back up, although the reason asserted for taking it down is, in my view, dubious. Be that as it may, please consider participating in this AfD discussion: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Talmadge_L._Heflin. I imagine you'd want to oppose it.

The Wikipedia Library: New Account Coordinators Needed
edit
Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.
It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitz gmail.com. Thanks and cheers, Jake Ocaasi via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:41, 20 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for pointing out souces at the AFD. Inspired by your WP:BEFORE I did some work on the Sunset Limousine article, taking the 230 characters (39 words) stub that was nominated and expanding it to a 2534 characters (413 words) C-class article... a 10x expansion. Care to help devise a decent DYK? Schmidt, Michael Q. 00:14, 11 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
While coverage does exist at [8], [9], [10], [11], and [12], I'm not sure there is enough to expand the article beyond a stub without risking potential plagiarism. Per WP:NSONGS, a track must have significant coverage outside of album reviews from multiple reliable secondary sources AND there must be enough to expand the article beyond a stub (lists not counting). In addition to only having one source, the article was (and still is) a stub. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:57, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
The message is not meant for me, but I'm frankly appalled that someone who edits music pages don't know that "It Don't Mean a Thing" is a very well-known song. None of the reasons stated do not apply to this page, a simple check in Google books would show numerous books that mentioned the song - [13] (that is what is meant by significant coverage), and being a stub is not a reason to redirect (that is the point of having a stub, so that someone who has the time and inclination can expand it). Now SNUGGUMS has left others with a problem of having to fix his edits because he removed links in over 100 pages (without stopping to think that a song that has so many links must be a significant song), something needs to be done if he continues to do something like this.

I came here to say that I've undone the five that were on my watchlist---but over 100?! Rothorpe (talk) 13:13, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
The mass link removal was unwarranted even if someone thought the article should be redirected to another place. That's the point of having redirects. Anyway, in a paperless encyclopedia that has room for detailed articles about songs like "Friday", to be lacking an an article about this Grammy Hall of Fame classic, what Richard Corliss called a "jazz anthem" and "a lesson in Afro-musicianship for the pop audience", would just be embarrassing. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:16, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
As creator, I was appalled to see the redirect. This is one of the most recognizable songs of the 20th century, and a song intrinsically associated with the history of jazz music, African-American cultural history, and the swing era. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 23:52, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Artie Shaw
edit
Hello,
I noticed the tag you put on the page and did some digging around. It looks like the editor who expanded the article used a recent book (possibly Tom Nolan, Artie Shaw, King of the Clarinet: His Life and Times (W. W. Norton, New York, 2011). I only have preview access to it through Google Books, but considering the edits he possibly used this to include all the information. Unfortunately, it appears that he did not include any citations. Normally that would be a BLP issue, but as the individual has passed away, that doesn't apply. I left a message on the editor's page as it seems valid information that was added as opposed to removing it. Right course of action? (Karst (talk)
Thank you for expanding Temple Emanuel (Beverly Hills, California). If you are able to add more referenced info, we may be able to suggest it for "Did you know." Unfortunately I am not in BH right now and can't take a picture, which would look great in the infobox!Zigzig20s (talk) 20:53, 6 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
I’d just like ask for your opinion on the recent edits by Special:Contributions/77.70.93.195 to this article. I personally think that most of the world agrees on Russian involvement in Eastern Ukraine and also in the case of the Malaysian Airlines Flight 17. It’s rather extraordinary that edits of this magnitude come from an IP address. -- Apanuggpak (talk) 13:39, 10 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
