Need further explanation

Good day Mr. Dsmdgold

Do you have anything against me? Why did you delete my article? Can you please explain it more. I have written my position of not to delete my article. Did you find time to read it? Did you ever think of the sacrifices I am trying to make to contribute to this site? I know of some rules in making an article and writing an article about an organization has a big chance of being deleted. But why are there lots of articles like mine that I can read everyday in this same site? Jhei ann (talk) 04:43, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks^_^

Ok, thank you. I understand it now. I was just unhappy because I did the article twice. Anyway, more power to your site.Jhei ann (talk) 00:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Genealogy

You wrote:

Hello Harrisonlatour, I can see that you may be upset with some of the changes I made in the V.R. Coss House article, and with the nomination of several article you started for deletion, and the speedy deletion of several others. I think that perhaps we have arrived here because of misunderstanding of what we are doing at Wikipedia. We are building an encyclopedia. We are not building a genealogical database or a depository of family stories.

Also says that their album El Lado Oscuro had a great acceptance by the public and was named one of the best Spanish heavy metal albums of the year, they have releasedn 3 studio albums in 5 or 6 years and they are recordind their 4th one DarkSun Website, They wouldn't lie on their website. If this is not important tell me what is then. Iknow you wanted to save the article and that what I'm here for, to ask for your help to save the article and talk about it in the article's entry, please I really need your help. Thanks.

Bank of Hominy pic etc

Neat that you happened to have a pic of Bank of Hominy ready to upload instantly, whenever someone might start an article on it... :) Thanks also for further improving the Oklahoma skyscrapers and other articles that I worked on earlier today. Hopefully my contributions were helpful, overall, in dealing with the situation, the full scope of which was unclear to me at first. And at least it's nice to get these bank and skyscraper articles started, i think they're neat. Cheers, doncram (talk) 01:29, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Got your message back. About getting the MPS listings, I myself cannot access them by searching from my own PC, i have to use Microsoft Internet Explorer on another PC, then search on "National Register MPS" to get to the search page, then search and write down the URL of interest. I appreciate your view on defending against a bad precedent; I count myself privileged to be in the position of developing articles on NRHPs in a free and leisurely manner, while a foray into another area of wikipedia was just frustrating due to the AfD mechanism being put into play. Thank you, really, for what u did.

About Bank of Hominy, the pic is great to have, but the fact that the MPS is about how the 4 banks are Richardsonian Romanesque in style then gives me pause. Having contemplated Richardson's masterpiece Buffalo State Hospital a lot while working on List of NHLs in New York (and not sure if i started its article or not, too), I understand the style is largely about having interestingly large masses (although perhaps also conveying solidity through brickwork, i am not sure if that is part of the style). But then, how can a 2 story building that is perhaps rather plain in overall shaping be part of that style? I wonder, do you have or could you go back and take more pictures, from farther back to see the whole building and any massings, and closer on details. I can somewhat see that it is brick and has potentially romanesque round arches as a motif around the top. But more photographical investigation and explanation would be nice. Perhaps they are really nice closeup and comparable to the "Jewel box" bank buildings by Louis Sullivan in small towns in Wisconsin and elsewhere, I wonder?

e.g. National Farmer's Bank of Owatonna--Appraiser (talk) 20:18, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I wonder further, do you have pics for any of the 20 NHLs on List of National Historic Landmarks in Oklahoma? One NHL pic is worth 10,000 words, perhaps. :) Cheers, doncram (talk) 04:45, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Jesse Bushyhead

I have nominated Jesse Bushyhead, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jesse Bushyhead. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Question regarding db-g3 template

I recently tagged the Jeff Stanis article with the db-g3 template which you declined. That's fine, but my question is, did I use the correct db template? The article is obviously entirely made up and doesn't warrant sticking around Wikipedia for 5 days, in my opinion. Is there another method to delete it ASAP? Thanks. — X96lee15 (talk) 05:37, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Removing the "speedy" tag from Veriflora

The article is really about the Veriflora organization, and I feel that the organization qualifies under that part of A7, as a group. If you concur, please restore the tag. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:18, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Administrator Intervention Needed

Based on what I have seen from my Watchlist, two editors with whom you have prior experience dealing with, User:Andyjsmith and User:Harrisonlatour have been involved in a dispute over the Ed Edmondson article, which has culminated in User:Harrisonlatour suggesting on the article's Talk page that he would like to see the article protected from editing. As I said in my comments there, I think such a request is overblown under the circumstances. I have also discussed this matter with User:Andyjsmith who told me on his Talk page, that making such overblown requests seems to be User:Harrisonlatour's solution for dealing with problems on Wikipedia. --TommyBoy (talk) 19:09, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. You know this guy Harrisonlatour. I'm not concerned about his request for page protection - if you look at his contribs he does it pretty often whenever he's reverted and I can't see that any admin would take it seriously.

What's more important is that he seems utterly incapable of learning how to use WP. I'm not the only one who reverts him by any means but just look at his talk page - it's gone beyond silly. Mostly he's just dumping rubbish from his personal archive into vaguely relevant articles. Sometimes the relevance is only word association. But he's also been making politically motivated edits and can't understand what's wrong with that. IMHO he has a genuine problem working out what WP is. Lots of editors have explained it slowly and clearly and the message obviously isn't getting through. With the best will in the world I just don't think he's capable of improving.

RE: Here's a weird one for you

First off, I regret the six month latency in my reply. I triage and action input in as timely a fashion as is possible, on and off-wiki, with times running between 30 seconds and 18 months as of this writing.

• live fire test

{{db-attack}}

• end live-fire test

If your talk page does not become an attack page, then at the time of your writing the above method for neutering & sanitizing human/machine readable templates into strictly human-readable ones had perhaps gone on walkabout for a bit.

If your talk page does become an attack page, the above sanitation method is dead, and I urge you to maintain a safe distance from your now-dangerous talk page.

Hope this helps! <3

question

Hi again and good day!

I want to report something and I hope you can do the right action to this. Well, I have seen an article here that is about an organization and to tell you the truth, we know this organization. Well, for everybody's information, that organization was a total copy of another organization which was deleted early this year. Constitutions, articles, and the format were patterned to the said organization. And I have seen that this site is becoming biased. I can't understand. Can you please enlighten me.203.82.35.253 (talk) 00:50, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear Dsmdgold,

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 communityHERE, where 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:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

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 nameHERE 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,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 23:15, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar!

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lionel Sosa, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Republican, Coors and Lanier High School. 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.

Richard the Marshal (image attributed to William)

Reposted in main talk page:
In my retirement, I pursued my DNA which showed 63% Great Britain. This did not differentiate between Anglo-Saxon and Norman ancestry, so I revived my interest in Medieval History, making a whole month of one page vignettes of historic personages featuring Commons images which I edited to fit the background color. My text checked original sources where possible. Your name entered at some point File:Matthew Paris - William Marshal.jpg. This Matthew of Paris artwork depicts Richard Marshal jousting in battle with Baldwin. William 1st Earl and 2nd Earl of Pembroke were already dead in 1233. Could the scan of Four Gothic Kings by Hallam be the source of the error? - Athrash | ^Talk 19:11, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, for your response. I was seeking someone on Wikipedia who had access to Four Gothic Kings by Hallam. There were maybe nine editions, first American edition (Weidenfeld and Nicolson) in 1987. Question would be what is the caption and page number of Richard Marshal battle scene. If in error I think Hallam should rectify the situation if she is still active, it has reverberations on the William the Marshal pages. I don't need another heavy coffee table book and the closest library is 88 miles away at Southern Miss, but still curious how the details evolved and she should have access to the National Archives in Britain. On archive.org, The art of Matthew Paris in the Chronica majora by Suzanne Lewis (copyrighted) cites illustration? on p. 449 inverted shield at death of William, fol. 54 [58] which could be substituted? for File:Matthew Paris - William Marshal.jpg and she also states on p. 232 that Matthew romanticized the Richard Marshal skirmish with Baldwin. Hallam has a Wikipedia page as Elizabeth Hallam-Smith, but doesn't list Four Gothic Kings under published works. - Athrash | ^Talk 20:47, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Very interesting and Richard the Marshal has no depiction on his Wikipedia page, now we know why. - Athrash | ^Talk 00:12, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Commons images state that file cannot be overwritten, even when erratum? - Athrash | ^Talk 00:20, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
