The World Tomorrow

Please assist in resolving this issue, and feel free to delete my newly created account. I begin work on a Sylvester Stallone film next week in Los Angeles and I simply am not interested in dealing with this matter any longer.

The original article was extant for many years and was surreptitiously given a backseat to this controversial Assange character due to the infringement on our production of the same name. Several editors have elevated his page to the number one spot and created a disimbiguation page which regulates the original to a secondary position with little visibility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Superchargedone (talk • contribs) 03:35, 11 May 2012‎ (UTC)

Waste of time

It's a waste of time to attempt to get concensus from a group of mormons about romney. Since a mormon attorney runs wikipedia's board now (or did) and the LDS church pours money hand over fist into the wikimedia foundation, attempting to gain concensus is waste. They will just kibbitz through the LDS church chat room and send legions of meatpuppets to revert. Their articles are like their teachings -- works of fiction. So I won't waste the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.228.136.172 (talk • contribs) 15:57, 17 November 2012‎ (UTC)

Chris Jones (Singer)'s article

Hello C.Fred, I'm ok with all that you said, but I'm not close to him, just here to help a little bit. Otherwise I know how Wikipedia works now (about the official sources and the other things)and I won't be subjective, I knew that having a neutral point of view would be obligatory even before I created my account. I'm sorry for my basic language I'm actually french and I didn't really know wikipedia before tonight. That's a lot of informations to understand and I'll get them. I already started to put sources on this article, I just hope it won't be deleted when I'll wake up tomorrow morning. I'm sorry if I seemed incorrect in my first answer, I'm just a little stressed. --Cha Lucy (talk) 01:53, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

There's enough of a claim of notability that I've declined the request to speedy delete the article. It should be around in the morning, though I can't guarantee that an editor won't start deletion discussion on it (which would last a week). —C.Fred (talk) 01:59, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I didn't know that writing a wikipedia article would be so hard. I'll finish it as soon as possible. Thank you again for your help. --Cha Lucy (talk) 02:05, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello C.Fred, I just proved that Chris Jones had a single on Lebanon national music chart, had another in Dutch national music chart, and has placed in a major music competition, and I have 20 references for this article. Could you please tell me why I still have the "not reliable" messages at the top of this page? I admit I don't really understand...--Cha Lucy (talk) 09:06, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

While there are a lot of references in the article, a lot of them are not reliable. References should be to secondary sources like newspaper and magazine articles. Until an independent editor (myself or any other established editor) has vetted the references to make sure the sources are reliable and support the claims in the article, the page will stay tagged.

The other concern is, even if the sources check out, whether Jones is a notable musician. Being a featured singer may not be enough, if he hasn't charted in his own right.

To make clear, the two tags on the article are maintenance tags. They don't necessarily mean the page will be deleted. They mean that other editors have concerns and are seeking help to fix the problems. Best case, another editor comes up with several good references, and the maintenance tags will get removed soon. —C.Fred (talk) 14:45, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Ok thanks. Fact is he wanted to create an article on wikipedia because it's so hard to find reliable informations on him on the internet. It seems to be a little paradoxal I guess... I'll be sad if this article were deleted, cause I care a lot, but I guess that if it was the case, you just would do your job very well. If you know some oher place in the internet where we could make Chris Jones more "known", please give me some ideas. Wikipedia seems the better place to be. --Cha Lucy (talk) 15:27, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Edits on Magic Realism page

Hi C.Fred!

You recently reverted my edits on the Magic Realism page. I added a factoid about Lisa Donoho of Agoura High School who spent her entire last summer reading magical realism books. I do not believe these edits should be reverted. Thanks! Lisadonohoagourahighschool2 (talk) 04:29, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Erm, no. It's blatant vandalism. —C.Fred (talk) 04:31, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Seung Gyoo Dong

Hello, I am VERY new to Wikipedia. (surprise!) Master Grossman, at the headquarters for Grand Master Dong's dojang, asked me to include Grand Master Dong in the list of Grand Masters of Tae Kwon Do (in Kukkiwon) after I pointed out that he was not on the list. I have his permission to include him and create his page. If I have his permission, how is that a copyright infringement? Is there some kind of statement I need to add to prove I have permission? Please help me... as you can tell, I am very new to this. And, it took me a LOOONNGG time to figure out (with the help of my husband) how to include the reference link to his website.

Thank you! Oh, and I will be watching your page for your reply since I don't know how to get to mine.  :-) Thanks again for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.4.22.158 (talk) 02:18, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes. The problem is, the page you copied from, bears a notice that it's copyrighted by him with all rights reserved. Wikipedia can only use text that is freely licensed: that we're free to use as we see fit and all downstream users are also free to use. That's a big hang-up with pictures, because it means somebody could make t-shirts with free images they found on Wikipedia.

So, to be able to use the text, he'd have to email that he's giving away the text or change the license terms of his bio to note that the text is under a free license (such as Creative Commons or GFDL). —C.Fred (talk) 03:04, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Who would Grand Master Dong need to email for his bio to be included on wikipedia? Thank you for all of your help. It is very much appreciated. 108.4.22.158 (talk) 03:16, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Jerry Sandusky / Second Mile Child Abuse Scandal

This scandal was erroneously marketed by the media, initially, as a "Penn State" scandal. It has since been corrected in the media as the Jerry Sandusky/Second Mile scandal. The fact that some of the incidents allegedly took place at Penn State (note that the JS was not indicted on any of those charges), but that the majority took place elsewhere and the fact that JS was a FORMER coach at Penn State, but worked at the Second Mile during the entire time period, makes your Topic erroneous, and sensationalized.

Please update all titles and references to the correct topic line ("Jerry Sandusky / Second Mile Child Sex Abuse Scandal").
