Just a note

You can remove the {{cot}} but, my rational still stands, turning request for rights into file uploads request is not for WP:PERM/C this is done at WP:FFU as you already know. Thank you. Mlpearc (powwow) 18:04, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

I disagree with you, as they didn't request the upload of a file, but the confirmed permission. I just uploaded these files, because I didn't see any reason why not, and asked if they need the permission for anything other? There is nothing wrong with that. Or uploading the file and declining the request with pointing to my talk page if they want something other would be better? Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 18:24, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

No worries :)

Have a great week! --j⚛e decker 06:38, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

You too. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 06:50, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Misplaced Pages editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Misplaced Pages editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

• Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi 17:07, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Heads up...

...anytime you see someone in RFPC who has an obvious COI or username infraction, do not engage ...it gets their hopes up when they actually have other problems to be concerned about. Xceedium is a perfect example of a discussion that should not have continued (✉→BWilkins←✎) 19:07, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay, will do so next time. Thanks for the advice. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 19:08, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Some bubble tea for you!

Thanks for your help clerking at RFPP. Regards, Dianna (talk) 19:41, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 19:44, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Wes Hampton (copyright)

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand why I cannot use that image I requested ability to use. I doesn't mention a copyright on the image, and I if it is non-free, then I am not sure how to find a free one, as he is a Christian singer, and I am not sure to find one that I can use. Sorry, I am new to this type of editing, and if you could find some way or someone to help, that would be great. Quadspyder (talk) 13:14, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Well the image you want to use is on this website. According to it: "©2010 Wes Hampton. All Rights Reserved." As the image is copyrighted it can not be used under a free license, and only the non-free option remains. However this isn't applicable there either, as according to the first non-free content criteria a non-free file can only be used if a free equivalent wouldn't be available. However I have fund four free images on FlickR (1, 2, 3 and 4. You can upload these image(s) to our free image repository, the Commons. You do not need any special permissions to upload there and you can use the same username and password you use here. Regards, Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 13:34, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thank you, that is very helpful. However I still do not have permission to upload these pictures for the article, how would I go about doing that? Quadspyder (talk) 15:18, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

As I said: "You can upload these image(s) to our free image repository, the Commons. You do not need any special permissions to upload there and you can use the same username and password you use here." The images upload there can used on the English Misplaced Pages too. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 15:23, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay thanks, sorry I missed when you said it the first time. Quadspyder (talk) 15:31, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

No problem. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 15:32, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Council/Proposals/NBC's Must See TV

It's closed as not created. I wonder if there is no prejudice to creating a task force of NBC's Thursday lineup. --George Ho (talk) 16:03, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Of course not. The closure makes just clear, that the project wasn't created yet. In other word not created isn't the same as not creatable. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 16:06, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

I guess, I can create it myself, right? --George Ho (talk) 16:08, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

 Right. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 16:11, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

FFU script for AFCH

Hi, I started to develop the FFU script part for the AFCH. An old copy of the gadget (same days, maybe weeks old) with the new improvements can be found at User:Mabdul/afchelper4.1.js‎. At the moment I'm still working on the design and the options. See also my test sandbox at Misplaced Pages:Files for upload/sandbox. Any ideas, did I miss something? Feel free to post it here, at my talk page, or at WP:AFCH/DEV if you find anything.

Known issues:

• no checkbox for /recent (will be added in a few minutes)
• one of the headlines doesn't show up (I have no clue why at the moment)

mabdul 19:14, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

It looks good, but it doesn't work for me. It doesn't do anything at all (with the exception of the comment function, where it gives "Got token Got Misplaced Pages:Files for upload/sandbox Saved Misplaced Pages:Files for upload/sandbox Done (Reload page)", but no edit happens.) Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 20:02, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, as I said: I forked today the AFC/R part and modified it. At the moment I only created so that the design works. The 'underlying code'/backend code will be added in the next few days, although this shouldn't be so hard. I will inform you if it works completely, and after a short beta phase it will be merged to the AFCH gadget! mabdul 20:13, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 20:14, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Pictures

Hello, Armbrust. You were helpful before, so I am contacting you again about making changes. My account is now confirmed, and I have begun uploading pictures that I have found at many different places in the public domain. Unfortunately, I do not seem to be able to upload past two photos at the moment. Is there a time limit I must wait between each time I put on a picture? Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Today2 (talk • contribs) 02:34, 16 July 2012‎

I don't know from such a limit and it looks like from your upload log, that it has been solved. Also note, that publicly available isn't the same as public domain. The copyright holder has to explicitly release their work in to the public domain (or under a free license), otherwise it's copyrighted. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 07:23, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I was able to solve the issue. Ok, thank you for clarifying the difference. Would it be better if I categorized the pictures as copyrighted, but with with fair use, as the school knows I am making the changes to this page? While the pictures I am using seem to be widely used, I have informed the school that I would be making these changes. The pictures I am try to reference are those mainly coming from the school itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Today2 (talk • contribs) 12:05, 16 July 2012‎

The school have to release the images, as per the image use policy. For further information see: Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials and Misplaced Pages:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. If they do this, than the images should be uploaded to our free image repository, the Commons with the {{OTRS pending}} template. You do not need any special permissions to upload there and you can use the same username and password you use here. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 12:09, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Draft review request

Heya Armbrust, Can you please review a small draft for me? Here it is, Ideal Ice Cream, Mangalore. --Vaman Shenoy (talk) 03:55, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

 Done Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 08:40, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

• Thank You! --Vaman Shenoy (talk) 10:12, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Quick question

Would you happen to know which toolserver will provide the list of articles that I created?-CTS talk 07:19, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

At the bottom of Special:Contributions/Cntras, there is a link called "Articles created". Click on it and it will list the articles you have created and are currently not a redirects. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 08:47, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

And all this time I've been trying to sift through the toolservers. Thanks. -CTS talk 09:30, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Bicycle Race

Perhaps you would like to take this up on the Talk:Bicycle Race page? --evrik  17:42, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

I decided for Misplaced Pages:Files_for_deletion/2012_July_17#File:Queen_Bicycle_Race_cover.jpg instead. (Before this message was left on my talk page.) Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 17:44, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

State University of Leuven

Thanks for noticing and correcting this lapse of attention on my part. -- Black Falcon 21:16, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Be my guest. It was very easy to guess, what you meant. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 21:18, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Still not confirmed

Hello Armburst, You sent me a welcome message, but my account is still not confirmed, so I still cannot upload my audio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarif7 (talk • contribs) 23:39, 18 July 2012‎

Welcoming someone doesn't mean they become confirmed. Also WP:Spoken articles should be uploaded to the Commons. That is our free file repository, you do not need any special privileges to upload there and can use the same username and password you use here. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 00:15, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for welcoming me. I tried to upload audio but still cannot do it because it says my account has not been confirmed. Is there any way for me to upload my audio for "Phylloquinone"? Thanks (Tarif7 (talk) 00:17, 21 July 2012 (UTC))

You just need four more edits to become autoconfirmed. Also is there any reason, why you don't want to upload the audio file to Commons? Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 06:01, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Ok thank you, I did not notice your previous answer, I will upload it to Commons. (Tarif7 (talk) 15:09, 21 July 2012 (UTC))

Added spoken article in external links. Its the Phylloquinone article. Did I link to the article properly? And did I add the spoken article properly? (Tarif7 (talk) 17:12, 21 July 2012 (UTC))

It looks like, everything was properly made. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 17:16, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Logo UK EPTC

Hey Armbrust, auf der deutschen Seite gibt es ein Logo zur gerade laufenden UK EPTC. Sollte doch auch in Commons gültig sein, oder? Kommt ja schließlich von WorldSnooker. Kannst du das mal prüfen? Gruß. --LezFraniak (talk) 01:08, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Ich denke nicht. Die rechte Seite des Logos ist Komplex genug im Vereinigten Königreich um urheberrechtlich schützen zu können. Nach commons:Threshold of originality#United Kingdom ist sogar dieses Logo viel zu komplex um es in Commons aufladen zu können. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 01:16, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks....

...for doing this properly for me! Kim Dent-Brown 20:36, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Authority control integration proposal/RFC

Risker brings up a point in her oppose about reverts. I think it'd be beneficial to your closing statement if you explicitly stated that the consensus developed in the proposal to implement VIAF does not override the larger consensus on WP:EW and WP:SANCTIONS.--v/r - TP 13:00, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't think this is necessary. (Also WP:SANCTIONS is an essay, there is no large consensus behind it.) Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 13:49, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Authority control RFC

Thanks for closing this! Now we get to move on to the heavy lifting of actually implementing the consensus ;-)... Andrew Gray (talk) 13:01, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Be my guest. I have already planned on closing this latter. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 13:37, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Non-Commercial on en.wikipedia.org

Are you really sure that CC-BY-NC is not permitted on en.wikipedia.org? Since non-free images are allowed under "Fair use", I dont understand why. I know that its not permitted on Commons. Can you please provide me with a link to the ruling you used to decline. Thank you! / SwedeMiker (talk) 15:52, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

See WP:CSD#F3. Fair use isn't an option as there is already a free image about Åsa Linderborg per WP:NFCC#1. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 15:58, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I got it. Thank you! / SwedeMiker (talk) 16:01, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Need images

Sir, There no images in articles like Jhansi Ki Rani (TV series) and Shobha Somnath Ki. So please add some images (like stills and posters) to them. Thanks JasHne VB (talk) 09:57, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

That's not my problem. If you want images in the infoboxes, than you should add links to these images. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 10:13, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

If I add bare URLs of images here, will you upload it to Misplaced Pages using appropriate wiki-stuffs? JasHne VB (talk) 16:31, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Only if (1) it is a poster, DVD cover or a logo (otherwise you should give a non-free use rationale too) and (2) it is very clear which image goes to which page. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 18:27, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Here you goes,

1. - Article: Jhansi Ki Rani (TV series)
2. - Article: The Sword of Tipu Sultan
3. - Article: Chandragupta Maurya (TV series)

JasHne VB (talk) 09:00, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Let's see:

1.  Not done Image contains more than just a logo.
2.  Done Uploaded file to File:The Sword of Tipu Sultan DVD cover.jpg and added it to the article.
3.  Not done Image contains more than just a logo.

Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 09:46, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

You said they can be posters, 1 (the topmost image) and 2 are posters. So why cant? And pls explain me what is a a non-free use rationale? JasHne VB (talk) 05:01, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

It looks to me more like a promotional picture, than a poster. For your second question see: Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 07:17, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Requests for page protection

Sorry about the placement, i didn't notice that. Have a nice day and thanks again ツ Jenova20 10:35, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Texas State Highway 32

Afternoon, Please move Texas State Highway Loop 32 back to Texas State Highway 32. That highway is not a designated loop, it is an actual main system state highway (or at least it will be soon). Thanks. 25or6to4 (talk) 19:43, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Only if you can explain to me, why the article says it is a "proposed loop around the southern side of Brownsville". Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 19:47, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Because Texas highways aren't named very well. It will have the form of a loop, but that's the state of Texas decided to name it as a main state highway, per the reference.25or6to4 (talk) 04:34, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay, that's good enough for me.  Moved back. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 06:56, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

RFPP Semi-Script

Curious about how the RFPP page semi-automated script works. Is it something you could share so others can run it to clean up the page when it clogs up? ⇒SWATJester 11:36, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

I use the User:Rami_R/rfppClerk.js script. It works if you edit the page, and adds a "RFPP" button to the toolbox. (Moves answered requests after 6 hours to "Fulfilled/denied requests" and after 12 hours removes them from the page.) Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 11:46, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Much appreciated. ⇒SWATJester 11:49, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Redirect of Oglethorpe Charter School

I noticed in the contributions list for the Oglethorpe Charter School page, you re-directed the page. Under what authority? Why was this done? I am was involved in the founding of the school and I am employed by the school. Just wondering. Coach Case (talk) 22:48, 26 July 2012 (UTC)Coach Case

The article was redirected to the school district article following this AfD, where there was clear consensus for the redirect. This outcome could be reached due to lack of extensive coverage in third party reliable sources. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 23:03, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Edit war on Kamrupi

I have tried to reach out to the other editor , which the other user has reverted, but have not made contact. I have already placed a semi-protect request. Please recommend other steps if necessary. Chaipau (talk) 22:56, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

There is nothing else to do. This is a clear edit warring from both of you. If either of you continue, than I will report it to WP:ANEW. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 23:07, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Kamrupi_(disambiguation) exists and same was informed here and Kamrupi page was redirected to intended article. User Chaipau is performing duplication and same can be avoided by fully protecting Kamrupi page. Thanks ! bbhagawati (talk) 02:53, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

You just made a copy-and-past page-move by creating Kamrupi_(disambiguation). Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 07:00, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

As you see that said disambiguation is new and can be developed further if speedy deletion tag is removed bbhagawati (talk) 15:01, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

No after Kamrupi_(disambiguation) is deleted and Kamrupi is reverted to it's original state before the dispute, than you should initiate a Requested moves discussion to correctly move the article. Copy and paste move isn't allowed on Misplaced Pages. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 15:11, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Smsarmad

You recently gave User:Smsarmad Account creator rights, the rules for this right sat a person who has been blocked for sock puppetry cannot have it, SMS has been blocked for socking in the past. See here. I am curious as to why this was discounted when the user right was given? Darkness Shines (talk) 17:26, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, wrong talk page. According to the rights log Stwalkerster (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) has granted Smsarmad the right. (BTW I as non-admin couldn't do it, even if I wanted to.) Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 17:34, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I had thought it was you as you added the icon the to the userpage, shall ask the other fellow. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:35, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

ELEVTRA

Saw your decline. I was not aware of the a7 restriction on educational orgs, thanks for informing me. However, after re-reading the article, I do not believe that is an education organization and therefore the original speedy was legitimate, however I will not contest too strongly. It is clearly talking about standards and training of employees of technical companies. In any case, I have PRODed it. Gaijin42 (talk) 15:29, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

I think the article is not about an organisation, but an educational program. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 15:31, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Hotel Osijek

Hi, thanks for your message. I see you've removed the CSD tag. If you check the page logs, you'll see it has been deleted as A7 in the past. Though you're right in saying that A7 doesn't specifically apply to buildings, it does apply to companies and organizations. The article isn't specifically about the building itself; it's about the business (a hotel). I would ask that you replace the tag. If not, I'll go to AfD instead. Regards. Basalisk ⁄_berate 16:15, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

I think this doesn't fall under A7, as it looks like the article is about a building and a company. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 16:19, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Well they're one and the same, aren't they? The building is part of the company, not vice versa, and so A7 should apply. If some other entity were housed in the same building, it wouldn't, but this isn't the case.

For example, the Hilton Hotels & Resorts article could theoretically fall under A7 if the company were non-notable, but the Beetham Tower, Manchester article certainly wouldn't, even though the tower is mainly occupied by Hilton Hotels, because the article is about the structure itself. With the Hotel Osijek article, however, this isn't an issue, as the building and company are one and the same. Are you sure I can't persuade you to reconsider? Basalisk ⁄_berate 16:24, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

I have made a reconsideration, but came to the same conclusion. The article is entirely focused on the building itself, and no information is about the company. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 16:31, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Ok. Well thanks for the response anyway, please comment at the AfD. Regards Basalisk ⁄_berate 16:34, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Entre a Fé a Razão

I had marked for speedy deletion, because the album title was wrong (Entre a Fé e a Razão, no Entre a Fé a Razão). I am an sysop of Misplaced Pages in Portuguese, and rarely do I edit here ... (Sorry, I don't speak english). Tiago Abreu (talk) 17:52, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

No problem. You tagged the file with the wrong speedy deletion template. If you are the only author of a page, than use {{db-g7}} instead of {{db-redirnone}}. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 17:59, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Armbrust! I think that we should also give out templates such as {{Rollbackgiven3}} to users who are granted rollback. Best, Electric Catfish 21:37, 31 July 2012 (UTC).

Don't think this is a good idea, as the template says "I have enabled rollback on your account" and "If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it." Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 21:39, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Fine. {{Rollbackgiven2}} is more educational and doesn't say who enabled it or how to request it to be removed. However, it doesn't have the rollback logo. Also, {{Rollback not yet}} is also neutral and educational. Best, Electric Catfish 21:44, 31 July 2012 (UTC).

Yes these can be used. You could also create your own version, by rephrasing the problematic parts of {{Rollbackgiven3}}. Armbrust, B.Ed. _{The Undertaker 20–0} 21:48, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 July newsletter

We're approaching the beginning of 2012's final round. Pool A sees Cwmhiraeth (submissions) as the leader, with 300 points being awarded for the featured article Bivalvia, and Pool B sees Grapple X (submissions) in the lead, with 10 good articles, and over 35 articles eligible for good topic points. Pool A sees Muboshgu (submissions) in second place with a number of articles relating to baseball, while Pool B's Ruby2010 (submissions) follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film Pride & Prejudice. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.

Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions! As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
