West Virginia County Route question

Hey there. I have a question about county routes in WV...specifically, McDowell County. When I last visited Jenkinjones WV, my GPS and Mapquest shows it as being on County Route 8. BUT, its not reflected here, per se. What did I miss?Coal town guy (talk) 14:12, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

I saw that Gene93k has open the discussion to Canadians. Is there anyway you can open it up to the LGBT community on wikipedia too?

Hello, Gene93k. You have new messages at Tews's talk page.

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ahmed_Ziauddin_(2nd_nomination)

Hi Gene93k,

Thank you for adding categories to the discussion! I thought it would be suitable for "News-related discussions" too, since it is of interest to media both its news value and for the later arrest of a journalist in Bangladesh on account of the case. Did I add it correctly? All I did was add the template to the discussion. Is that right? Thank you, Crtew (talk) 06:12, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

• You needed to add the AfD debate to the list of News-related discussions itself. I have added it. • Gene93k (talk) 15:52, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cullum Peni

Hi Gene, thanks for closing this nomination - I meant to do so as soon as I deleted the article, but got distracted. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 03:08, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Gene, hi -- what do I need to alter on the Skinshift page to comport w/ Wikipedia guidelines? Please advise, and I will gladly make the changes ASAP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnsaavn (talk • contribs) 03:51, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

appealing revert of B Corporation entry to a redirect

Hi - I wrote a brief wiki entry for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_corporation?redirect=no but you reverted the redirect. A "Benefit Corporation" and a "B Corporation" are meaningfully and significantly different things (although related in spirit). A "Benefit Corporation" is a legal form in 15 or so states. A "B Corporation" is a certification (worldwide) by a non-profit entity (B Lab) (like LEED certification for building or Fair Trade certification for Coffee and other agricultural products). They're meaningfully different and "B Corporations" are of general interest (see these articles from today for example about B Corporations that have nothing to do with Benefit Corporations): http://www.guardian.co.uk/sustainable-business/best-for-the-world-the-ranking http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2013/04/17/12-companies-considered-best-for-the-world/ http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-04-17/finding-the-worlds-best-social-entrepreneurs#r=auth-s

I'm new to wikipedia so I don't know if this is the appropriate way to appeal a reversal of something I created so please instruct me if there's something else I should do.

Also, we will expand the entry for "B Corporation" significantly if that's what it takes to "stick".

Thanks, John Jhillstrom (talk) 03:36, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Diplomat Afds added to the list of Politicians-related deletion discussions

Hi. I see you have been adding Diplomat afds to the list of Politicians-related deletion discussions, however diplomats (unelected officials) are different from politicians and have different guidelines for notability etc. I wonder if it would be possible to list the Afds somewhere more appropriate? Thanks and regards. --Kleinzach 09:00, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Rajiv Jain

Rajiv Jain (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Greetings,

I am a frequent user of Wikipedia since 1st December 2009 when I need to research on people, practices, places and things. I would like to start by sharing my deep appreciation for the great work that others like you and yourself are doing to maintain the quality and accuracy of articles on Wikipedia.

While I appreciate the continuous necessity to review the contents on your pages, I was unpleasantly surprised to see Mr. Rajiv Jain (cinematographer) nominated for deletion from your esteemed pages.

I request you to kindly peruse through what I have enumerated below and then make an informed decision on the way forward on this page and his presence there.

Towards this attempt, I would like to share with you a few reasons why I believe that Mr. Rajiv Jain’s candidature befits his presence on Wikipedia.

1. Below mentioned are a few sources that will point out his contributions to Indian cinema

a. http ://www.gomolo.com/about-rajiv-jain/16993

b. http://www.ranker.com/list/movies-with-cinematography-by-rajiv-jain/reference

c. http:// www.gomolo.com/about-rajiv-jain/16993

d. http://movie-stars.us/filmography/rajiv%20jain.aspx

e. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1203010/

2. I have edited this page and have removed links to his website, interviews, articles or blog (which some have commented to have been created personally by himself)

3. IMDB (internet Movie Database) is a credible site which enumerates the work of notable contributors and related cinema releases. I request you to kindly credit them with the professional respect and consideration that one would give to honourable peers. While IMDB may not equate to notability or nomination to a celebrity club, it can undoubtedly be considered as the most reliable data base on films and key contributors to the industry

4. As a regular user of Wikipedia, I can assure you of the presence of many other names that would earn lower eligibility to be on the coveted Wikipedia pages. These less than worthy nominations are present from all industries viz; politics, international relations, the corporate world, Bollywood and more importantly, Indian cinematographers. I would of course refrain from being rude enough to mention their names or nominate them for deletion. In the event you do proceed with your decision to do away with Mr. Jain’s presence on your pages, I would certainly ask you to peruse through the following link and proceed with appropriate due diligence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Indian_cinematographers

5. I request you to kindly Google about him using ‘RAJEEV JAIN CINEMATOGRAPHER’ as keywords for your search. I assure you that you will be able to read a lot of information about him in the form of write ups, interviews, videos on You tube, his working stills etcetera

6. Mr. Jain has worked with notablable film Producers / Directors like like Aziz Mirza, Chandrakant Kulkarni, Ketan Mehta, Makrand Deshpande, Late Mukul S. Anand, Nitin Chandrakant Desai, Rajiv Rai, Satish Kaushik, Shyam Benegal, Subhash Ghai and Wanuri Kahiu, who are themselves present on Wikipedia.

7. While I have edited his page to only include professional essentials, I would like to point out that the contents on his page were not very different from the content on the Wikipedia pages of other cinematographers

a. I do not think it will be criminal to mention his wife and daughters’ names on his page as a person’s success at work is fuelled by the support, faith and love of his family. Besides, many other cinematographers have their spousal and children’s details mentioned on their pages.

i. His daughter Abigail Jain is a popular Indian television actor who has a Wikipedia page to herself.

ii. His daughter Kimberly also had a Wikipedia page, which has now been discontinued as she has taken a brief brake to complete her high school education

8. While I appreciate the spirit behind the freedom available to anyone to nominate personalities / articles for deletion from Wikipedia, I would like to share a recommendation that you also put in place a method to control nominations that are made with mala fide intent (of which I am certain is this case) I realise that my notes and comments are lengthy and therefore appreciate your time and patience to read through it. I look forward to an informed decision on the matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maniksh (talk • contribs) 19:31, 28 April 2013‎ (UTC)

Contested deletion for Jason Thomas Scott

Thank you for your work to ensure Wikipedia's neutrality and accuracy. As per your concerns regarding the page of Jason Thomas Scott, I state the following:

Jason Thomas Scott is a widely recognized contribution to modern television production. Several independent and approved sources, including the Denver Post, Yahoo!, and IMDB (for filmography purposes) have been added to the page to prove notability and verification. Additionally, Scott's active membership and involvement with the Producers Guild of America [[1]] has been added to the article with a source directly to the PGA's official magazine mentioning his membership. If you have any more concerns, please let me know and I will do my best to further verify and source the notability and accuracy of this article. (talk) --Jss1857 (talk) 20:14, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Opednews deletion

Not a power user like you... But put this together - would like to have this public to those voting thumbs up/down on opednews: Articles about opednews, Rob Kall or articles mentioning said that may be pertinent to discussion:

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/06/06/rob-kall-the-petty-tyrant-of-opednews/

http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2013/03/13/mcdonaldization-news-media-hollywood-tel

http://willyloman.wordpress.com/2008/11/18/the-dlcprogressive-muting-of-liberal-dissent/

http://open.salon.com/blog/stuartbramhall/2013/03/19/blatant_censorship_at_oped_news

http://ppjg.me/2009/06/15/the-foxification-of-op-ed-news-and-other-%E2%80%9Cprogressive%E2%80%9D-betrayals/

The wikipedia entry for Opednews appears to have been authored by Rob Kall? The claims "progressive/liberal news and antiwar appear to contradict owner Kalls claims on Quantcast: "OpEdNews.com (OEN) is a tough progressive website, supporting values that are really dead center American, like fairness, democracy, justice, protection of our national resources and commons, and preferring to support humans before corporations and religions. OEN is more than a media or blog site. OEN is an activism and advocacy empowerment site designed to be used, for free by individuals and non-profit groups and organizations".

The crux of my case for deletion is can a website/business claim to advocate progressive / liberal ideals and simultaneously be a censor? Can a site and site owner profit financially via claims of fairness and supporting humans while simultaneouly censoring, bannishing, erasing articles and even censoring writers personal websites via Google and Bing take-down requests (abuse bots)?

Again, owner Rob Kall's claims on wikipedia (encyclopedia) OEN page: "OEN is more than a media or blog site. OEN is an activism and advocacy empowerment site". Here are examples of "activism", "advocacy empowerment" on OEN website:

This is 'free speech liberalism' Rob Kall Opednews-Tyrant-style. Rob's kiss-butt, Meryl Ann, call's this 'selectively smorgasboarding'. These authors and articles were good enough and interesting enough to publish on the Internet (published); then Rob and Meryl took them down in fits of rage at the writers. Such authors and their articles are "too honest" and frankly, Rob and Meryl make more money taking the articles down... The people below take turns being 'main headlines' and 'their work' generally is not in the 'top ten based on pageviews'. But the people below are Democrat-Duopoly-friendly and extremely corporate-friendly. If you do not believe me, try it yourself. Helpful tip - do not pay to be giving them free content, they should pay you for your research and writing. Try it out, keep all of your money and do not buy into crisis like paying to save 'freedom itself, creativity itself, free-speech itself, etc.' These concepts do not exist in any way, shape or form - such as EIN, IRS 990's, 501-c-3 proof, etc. No, in lieu of these is a mere illegal scam charity sans tax-evader.

When confronted by evidence such as this, Rob Kall will sometimes have his Webmaster temporarily put the archived pages and author’s profiles back up – temporarily. Just because some links work today does not mean they were not, in their entirety, broken (on purpose) 23 May 2013.

In 90 says or 6 months, most or all of this will be erased and ogooglebar. From that point on, you will never see it again. This is the real Rob Kall, not the clever scam confidence crap he spews to get ‘donations’…

Donations? Rob has employees but no Federal Government EIN, no evidence of IRS 990 tax filings (it is a crime for a charity to not show you the books). No 501-4c registrations, just Kall’s ‘word’ that OEN is a ‘charity’. No independent charity watch proof of anything whatsoever – again, just Kall’s blarney and pretense of faux brass cojones. You want to donate to that and tell your accountant to take the deduction? Solely based on the ‘honorable’ word of a scam charity con-artiste con censor?

Walter S. Zapotoczny Jr. page

I reject the proposed deletion of this page for the following reasons: 1. Just because someone self-publishes a book does not make his non-credible. 2. While Kirkus is a paid reviewer, they have written many bad reviews of books. They did not have to give his book a positive review. 3. The MWSA review is not a paid review. 4. Do a scholar search and you will find many of the author's articles used by students from many academic institutions. 5. Since the magazine articles written by this author arte for print, a reference link could not be made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaylan58 (talk • contribs) 02:42, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
