OK, LoveMonkey please don't get angry. I have to come clean. 'Dave' doesn't exist, it was a device for me to facilitate support, but if you want to delete all that, that would be fine.

No harm no fowl. You should post a confession there on the talkpage to avoid any confusion. Sock puppeting can get you in serious trouble. But then you have to be reported to a board and other stuff so just try and clear up that I am not a devil worshipper on the talkpage and we'll be OK. OK. LoveMonkey (talk)

Orthodox Catholic Church

edit

I realize it is not really necessary to post these things here and I'm convinced you already know most of these things, but since "Catholic" is one of the Church's traditional titles (in fact in the past, the Orthodox Church was usually called as the "Catholic Church", the term "Orthodox" was mainly applied to the "Orthodox faith", to "Orthodoxy", to the "Orthodox theology", or to the "Orthodox" members of the Church, it was rarely applied to the Church, the term "Orthodox Church" is somewhat more recent), I believe it should not be omitted from the title. Many of the Holy Fathers have referred many times to the Orthodox Church as the Catholic Church (you can check a few of their statements in the following articles [3],[4],[5]), and it is used nonetheless in canonical contexts. An important document the "Confession of the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Dositheus" (which was made after the important Synod of Jerusalem in 1672), also refers to the Orthodox Church as the Catholic Church (the title "Orthodox Church" does not even appear in the confession, instead the term "Orthodox" is used when referring to the "Orthodox Religion", the "Orthodox Faith" or the "Orthodox worshipers"), it can also be found here. The "The Longer Catechism of The Orthodox, Catholic, Eastern Church" of Saint Philaret of Moscow also uses the title "Catholic Church" for the Orthodox Church more times than the title "Orthodox Church". This encyclical of the Eastern Patriarchs does the same. An article on the website of an Orthodox Research Institute states According to Archbishop Basil, “until quite a recent period, the (Orthodox) Church was never characterized by the attribute ‘orthodox’, but always as ‘catholic’". Aleksey Khomyakov even stated "The Orthodox Eastern Church is the whole of the Catholic Church now living upon earth—The titles "Orthodox" and "Eastern" merely temporary" (a more complete text can be found here, his words may seem a bit shocking, but he underlines nonetheless, the importance of this title and concept for Orthodoxy). In my opinion, there are no serious problems of confusion, "Eastern Orthodox Church" would still redirect there, the lead will contain clear explanations about what this article is (and I doubt anyway that the readers of wikipedia, will just stop when reading the article title), in fact it could even help people understand the importance, of this title and concept for Orthodoxy better (and as far as I know, people usually read encyclopedias to learn). As far as I see, the wiki naming rules, would support this move (and it seems that the non-Chalcedonians are not called in english exactly this way ("(Eastern) Orthodox Catholic Church") "Eastern" and "Oriental" are synonyms, however, of course, it is your choice whatever you support this or not, I still wish to thank you for not opposing too much about it (I'm sorry, if I misunderstood you). Also, as you probably noticed, (although it should not matter too much in that discussion), the article "Roman Catholic Church" has been recently renamed as simply "Catholic Church", although they are obviously not the only ones to claim this title. (And regarding the term "Roman Catholic" and the Eastern Roman ("Byzantine") Empire, from an orthodox and east Roman point of view, you are of course correct about that.) Cody7777777 (talk) 07:07, 16 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Well, the proposal was "Eastern Orthodox Catholic Church" or "Orthodox Catholic Church (Eastern)" to avoid any possible confusion with fake groups calling themselves as "Orhodox Catholic Churches" (although as far as I see, in english "Orthodox Catholic Church" refers usually to the "Eastern Orthodox Church"). Nonetheless, I believe the rename to simply "Orthodox Church" should rather be avoided, it is of course a correct name of the Church, but this renaming would just imitate what happened at "Roman Catholic Church" to "Catholic Church" (which at least in my opinion was done by ignoring the disambiguation policy), and it might indirectly encourage other articles to ignore wiki naming policy. Cody7777777 (talk) 16:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

In case you're interested, a new debate has started about renaming the current wiki article "Catholic Church" back to "Roman Catholic Church", you can find the debate at Talk:Catholic Church#Requested Move. ("Roman Catholic" is probably still be more neutral than simply "Catholic Church", but you don't need to participate in that debate if you don't wish, or if you don't have time).

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Snapshot of me 7.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 21:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 21:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC)Reply


File permission problem with File:Snapshot of me 7.png

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Snapshot of me 7.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Andrew c [talk] 22:39, 28 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Still having image issues for File:Snapshot of me 7.png. I'm curious what your claim to being the copyright holder is? What is your relation to the Agrotissa corporation? Why is this image so low-resolution and it looks like a TV screenshot? If you are associated with Agrotissa, don't you have a better quality publicity image? Do you know that taking a photograph or screenshot of a logo or product does not transfer the copyright to you? Are you really the copyright holder of this image? Thanks! -Andrew c [talk] 17:16, 29 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for getting back to me, and thanks for your honesty. Regarding the image copyright, unfortunately, since the entire focus/subject of the image is a copyrighted package/logo, simply taking a slavish reproduction of such an image does not transfer the copyright to you, thus you cannot release this image under a free license. However, we do, on the English Wikipedia, allow some non-free content under the claim of "fair use". A logo/product image such as this most likely will meet WP:NFCC, and thus can stay in the article (as long as the image is retagged to note the copyright, and fair use rationale). Though, I must add, it would be better if we could get a slightly better quality image. Do you have any friends with digital cameras that wouldn't mind taking a snapshot? Anyway, thanks! -Andrew c [talk] 21:58, 30 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
I've retagged the image as being non-free/copyrighted, but under a fair use. I've also renamed it to something a bit more descriptive, hope you done mind. Thanks for your patience. Hope this helps. -Andrew c [talk] 22:00, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Seven Laws of Noah

edit

Greetings, Eugene! And a happy, leaky new year to you and yours.

Were you going to assist in mediation for the Seven Laws of Noah? Or was there a different page that specifically addressees Noahide that you were going to address?

If it was the Seven Laws of Noah, I asked Lisa and Alexeya both if they wouldn't mind if I contacted my local Jewish Synagogue and merely ask the Rabbi there for an answer, then present the two with the emailed question and response, then allow them both to accept what the Rabbi had to offer.

As you may have seen, the "Seven Laws of Noah" on websites show different things which support both contenders' views of the actual 4th Law, so it's reasonable why there's a dispute. A third party simply asking a random Rabbi should resolve the conflict even if one or both contributors are not entirely satisfied.

Update my talk page if you would, sir, and if you're already handling the Seven Laws of Noag conflict, let me know and I'll go back to reading Archie comic books. Damotclese (talk) 04:46, 3 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Jimit Sanghvi

edit

Hi, I have a problem with an article which I do not believe to meet Wikipedia's guidelines (the above-named). It concerns a student whose claim to fame is simply to have published academic papers. Wikipedia does not, as far as I understand, include articles on academics unless they have done something special, e.g. of international acclaim, or won something like the Nobel Prize and not some minor award.

However, the author, whom I strongly suspect to the the object of the article itself, has removed the deletion tag with no further discussion.

I don't know the procedure from here where I continue to dispute the object's notability. Please help. Eugene-elgato (talk) 18:40, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

He is allowed to remove the PROD - see WP:DEL#Proposed deletion: "Any editor who disagrees with a proposed deletion can simply remove the tag" - and once an article has been dePRODded, it may not be PRODded again. The reason is that PROD is meant only for uncontroversial deletions, and once anyone has objected it is no longer uncontroversial. At a quick glance the article asserts enough importance to pass the speedy criterion WP:CSD#A7 (which is a lower standard than WP:Notability), but probably does not pass the academic notability standard of WP:PROF. What you can do next is nominate it at WP:Articles for deletion - that page explains how to do it. WP:Autobiography is discouraged but not prohibited, and per WP:OUTING it is probably wisest not to make a big thing of that suspicion without concrete proof - the question, in any case, is notability. JohnCD (talk) 18:51, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Excellent- this really clarifies the procedure. I will take your advice and consider nominating in the appropriate forum. And yes, it may or may not be bad whether he did create his own article or not; just whether it's right for Wikipedia. Thank you.Eugene-elgato (talk) 18:56, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Harrow International School Hong Kong

edit
 

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 Harrow International School Hong Kong requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

How do you make it so that a link takes you specifically to a section within an Article, and not merely to that Article generally (the top of its page) i.e. clicking on that link goes to the page, then automatically scrolls itself down to the relevant section and instantly? Thank you Eugene-elgato (talk) 22:41, 10 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

At the article, use the table of contents to chose the section/subsection. Copy the url, pruning everything that isn't needed; I then replace underscores with spaces, but that's personal style preference. Add the piping, and what you see in edit mode will resemble [[Examples#Grammar_and_style|Examples]] or [[Examples#Grammar and style|Examples]]. Once you're familiar with it, you can do it without the copy/paste portion, but as any error won't link correctly, I'd always recommend previewing, which will show a redlink unless correct.

You're welcome, of course. I should have noted that this is covered at Help:Section. Another caution, though. If the section is renamed, the link will break, so make sure it doesn't need to be corrected first. "Grammar and Style" should be "Grammar and style", unless it is a proper noun (book title, movie title, rock group, etc.). Dru of Id (talk) 23:48, 10 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

OER inquiry

edit

Hi Eugene-elgato, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB (talk) 20:39, 23 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bloomberg L.P., you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Intellectual Property Office. 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.

Rollback granted

edit
 

Hi Eugene-elgato. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! — MusikAnimal talk 22:19, 18 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of At Close Quarters (disambiguation)

edit
 

The article At Close Quarters (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required (WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic article has a hatnote to the only other use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
