Freshly Squeezed Music

Hello there.

You deleted the above entry in June and I wanted to ask if you could re-instate it please? I'm quite happy to provide (in fact it is what I was about to do when I discovered it had disappeared) further information and substantiation. It is also linked from elsewhere in WP...

Thanks

I've restored it and moved it to your userspace here so you can work on it. I don't think it would stay in mainspace in its present form. Cheers. Rodhullandemu 15:38, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

OK Thanks. Would you mind taking a look and advising again once I've done some changes?

Copydawg (talk) 16:54, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Give me a message when you've done. Rodhullandemu 17:06, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

HI there. Added some citation and references. Sure lots more will crop up, but for now, could you reinstate properly, or explain to me how to re-name correctly... and reinstate? Thanks. Oh yeah, and also feedback. Most of the links were what turned up in a quick google search, so I could probably find better... and I have a pile of actual physical press copies, but need to go through it for dates etc... Cheers

Hello again.

Just a little nudge re the above when you have a moment. Cheers

Looks suspicious

This like you were trying to hide this topic, as it doesn't appear in your archive. Malleus Fatuorum 21:10, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Still there in the history for anyone who cares, and prefectly legitimate. Rodhullandemu 21:16, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Thierry Henry

Why did you change my edits to Henry's page?They were correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AHaze88 (talk • contribs) 12:45, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

You didn't cite a source for the salaries, and information about our article being vandalised is irrelevant to Henry's life and career. Rodhullandemu 12:49, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Conflict in Article of Andre Geim, winner of 2010 Nobel Prize

Hi, I am a foreigner and a simple reader of Wikipedia. Thank you very much for your job. Frankly say, Editing article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_Geim, is in a wrong way, by colluding of some editors and admins there. Their IDs are: Therexbanner, Gladsmile, Narking, Christopher Connor, RobertMfromLI, NickCT, Beetstra, 7. These Users are trying by reverting correct edits of the article, and doing a sort of anagram and "misusing" information in sources, show Mr. Andre Geim (winner of 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics) is not a Jewish and he has another ethnic. They seem like pure (but a bit hidden)vandalism. All correct RS sources, like:

- http://www.scientific-computing.com/features/feature.php?feature_id=1,

- http://www.russia-ic.com/education_science/science/breakthrough/1176/,

- http://www.forward.com/articles/131944/

- http://www.gazeta.ru/science/2010/10/07_a_3426604.shtml

- http://www.kfki.hu/chemonet/osztaly/kemia/ih.pdf

- http://onnes.ph.man.ac.uk/~geim/pt.html

- http://www.forward.com/articles/131944/

- http://www.russia-ic.com/education_science/science/breakthrough/1176/

- …

clearly show that Mr. Andre Geim is a Jewish (he repeatedly mentioned about his Jewishness, [subject of self-identification]) in ethnical point of view and his family was originated from Germany(he also several times mentioned that his family are German [origin]). Nowadays German is a general word, which could means: Citizenship, Nationality, Origin, residentship, and so on. When Geim is taking about German being of his family, clearly and logically he talks about their origin before emigration to Russia. There is the same situation about Richard Feynman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman. By the way in a reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Andre_Geim_interview_to_Yedioth_Ahronoth,_Oct_15_2010,_p._25.jpg, (that several times misused by above Users) Geim also said a story concerning Jewishness (clearly in religious point of view) of his grandmother, that of course it doesn’t mean that only his grandmother was a Jewish. Now in article as I checked the history of the article, above Users by reverting the correct edits there, try to present and show by their wrong way Mr. Geim an “ethnic” German person. The point is that in any RS sources, Geim hasn’t say that he has such ethnic, and he never used word “ethnic” there. Andre Geim won the Nobel Prize in the beginning of October; unfortunately, right after his winning until now, above Users kept the text of the article in a wrong position. In any case, if you have time, please check this Users carefully. By the way USER:Gladsmile, repeatedly reverted and undid the edits there, without any explanation(even wrong one). Personaly, seems like an extrimist Vandalism. BestAlexander468 (talk) 16:38, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm going to have to decline getting involved here. 1: It is largely a content dispute, up to its editors to sort out; 2: Admins are already on the case; 3: There is no recent disruption such that action is needed immediately; 4: The dispute is already in mediation. If you think protection needs to be applied, please discuss with the previous Admin or report at WP:RFPP. Cheers. Rodhullandemu 16:49, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible to be notified of the edits by a particular user?

Is it possible to be notified by email or on a particular page of the edits by a particular user? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.125.41.207 (talk) 23:02, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Not that I know of. Registered users can maintain a Watchlist for pages but not for editors' contributions. If you register an account, you can then set up RSS or Atom email notifications for those articles. I take your implied point that it would be useful to have for all editors, but so far, only registered editors can get that information. Rodhullandemu 23:07, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

For the record ...

Sean has passed away, unfortunately. I've had numerous sources confirm it already. Not that I think he'd want a mention on The Other Wiki, but your curt dismissal was a little hurtful at this time. Jes' sayin' ... - Alison ^❤ 00:48, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

The loss of talented individuals is always regrettable, but still require reliable sources; he may well have been notable qua Enc.Dram., or otherwise, but to me, and perhaps a wider audience, his notability principally derives from his musical career, since that's what I perceive from the sources. His less important interests don't seem to cut it here as regards contributing to his notability. Rodhullandemu 01:40, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you...

...for the revdeletes on the date articles (e.g. June 19). I had requested oversight, but you got to them first. Cheers, --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 17:29, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Bill Wiggin page

Am surprised you quote Eddie Izzard, who is a personal friend of mine. What's your protection of corrupt MP Bill Wiggin all about? I am simply linking to sites/newspapers which have covered his false expenses claims. The Telegraph DID call him a shyster: why do you wish that to be concealed from Wiki readers????

Jim Miller —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.177.53 (talk) 01:27, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

And why can one link to an online newspaper article but not to Guido Fawkes' blog? Guido's extremely well-known site is just as subject to libel and slander laws as, say, the Telegraph Online. Yet you permit links to the Telegraph online! This is all over the place, Rod... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.177.53 (talk) 01:36, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

If you can show that I quoted Eddie Izzard, I would be astounded. As I've stated in my edit summary, I bear no cross for or against Wiggin; I am just a humble servant, upholding our editorial policies here. But one opinion from a Telegraph journalist about a Labour MP is neither here nor there, is unsurprising, and in my opinion irrelevant here, in an encyclopedic atmosphere where neutrality is not only encouraged, but is a fundamental policy of this encyclopedia. The internet has numerous outlets for political polemic; but Wikipedia is not one of them. Understand? Rodhullandemu 01:38, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
