==ISBN questions== |
|||
Hi Rich - I hope you are well. I have been working on [[:Category:Articles with invalid ISBNs]] (we can already see '''G''' on the first page!), and have a couple questions that you may be able to help with. Do you know if ISBNs were/are applied retroactively to books published pre-1970? (e.g. should the invalid ISBN on [[Albert, King of Sweden]], for [http://www.worldcat.org/title/margareta-nordens-drottning-1353-1412-etc-with-plates-including-portraits/oclc/559499978&referer=brief_results a book] published in 1953 just be removed?) Additionally, a number of the [[User:Storkk/Nontrivial ISBN Issues|nontrivial ISBN issues]] seem to involve ISBNs with prefixes that contain a bunch of 9s. Mostly, these seem like they might be private print runs/vanity publications that may not have applied for ISBNs - the numbers given as ISBNs might be internal ID numbers given either by booksellers or the publishers - is this possible? Do you have any suggestions what to do in this case? --[[User:Storkk|Storkk]] ([[User talk:Storkk|talk]]) 13:08, 8 February 2013 (UTC) <small>To stalkers: yes, ''I know'' Rich is blocked for the time being... I was planning to avoid that unpleasantness as much as possible</small> |
|||
:In theory ISBNs can be applied for retroactively, but I am not aware of the details of this process, nor whether it would be accepted before the start of the scheme. I would be inclined to doubt any such numbers from before the start of the SBN scheme, without very strong supporting evidence. |
|||
:The problem with the leading 999's if I remember correctly is that they are being dished out to very small territories (in terms of publishing size) even as we speak. None of the examples currently on your problems page seem likely candidates, and indeed when I made the last run (as a precaution in case of a bad decision by Arbcom) I updated the tables to the very last version to cope with these. |
|||
:I would be inclined to think that people will do, on very rare occasions, the sort of strange actions you suggest, and so would be reasonably happy to remove a small handful of numbers like this, where diligent research has yielded no information. |
|||
:I must say I am pleased that you are working on this, it is one of two areas where I haven't left a system I have set up in as good a state as I would like - the other is really unimportant. |
|||
:Of course there are lots of things that are simply unfinished, that is the nature of the Wiki. |
|||

|||
::Thanks, Rich - that's pretty much exactly what I suspected. As you know, the vast majority of incorrect ISBNs are trivially solvable - transposed/deleted/inserted digits or adding a 978 to an ISBN10 without checking the checksum. I'm inclined to largely work through these first, to get a more concise list of problem ISBNs that need attention. That said, some are more easily solved than others, although it's becoming increasingly clear that some of these are just internal IDs that have been translated into an ISBN-like format. For the vast majority of these, I think I'll just replace them with whatever identifier is available (e.g. for the ''Blood in the Water'' reference on [[Dave Beck]], I'll replace "ISBN 9990014981" with [http://lccn.loc.gov/88071822 LOC ID 88071822]), with a link if it's to a reasonably authoritative and permanent site, otherwise just remove them (like the Bolton Paul Defiant one). Ones that don't fit this mold (e.g. the CafePress one on my list <small>though I suspect that may be the same issue - just replacing '''9''' with '''0''' for an internal ID that was never an ISBN</small>), I'll just leave for someone with a Eureka moment. Eventually, when I've worked out what I thnk is the best way of doing this, I'll probably move my "issues" list to WP-space (or maybe a subpage of the Category Talk), but right now it needs more thought on how to format it. Anyway, I'm getting far too verbose. Best regards, and looking forward to when you are back... [[User:Storkk|Storkk]] ([[User talk:Storkk|talk]]) 00:31, 10 February 2013 (UTC) |

==[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[David Kirby (professor)]]== |
|||
[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]] |
|||
The article [[David Kirby (professor)]] has been [[WP:BLPPROD|proposed for deletion]] because it appears to have no references. Under [[Wikipedia:BLPPROD#Objecting|Wikipedia policy]], this newly created '''[[WP:BLP|biography of a living person]]''' will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a [[WP:V#Sources|reliable source]] that directly supports material in the article. |
|||
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see [[Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners|Referencing for beginners]], or ask at the [[Wikipedia:Help desk|help desk]]. Once you have provided at least one [[WP:V#Sources|reliable source]], you may remove the {{tl|prod blp}} tag. '''Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.''' If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can {{#ifexist:David Kirby (professor)|request that it be undeleted|[[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request that it be undeleted]]}} when you are ready to add one.<!-- Template:ProdwarningBLP --> -- [[User talk:Patchy1|Patchy1]] [[User:Patchy1/Reference this BLP|<small><code><small><span style="color:red">REF THIS BLP</span></small></code></small>]] 07:43, 10 February 2013 (UTC) |
|||
*I've added a source - which took the whole of 30 seconds to find, and removed the BLP prod. I've left the notability tag, as I'm not convinced this chap is notable, although Surrey Uni clearly think that he is splendid. --[[User:Elen of the Roads|Elen of the Roads]] ([[User talk:Elen of the Roads|talk]]) 14:28, 10 February 2013 (UTC) |

***Interesting, someone removed the source I provided, http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?type=RESOURCES&itemId=1084954074&r.s=e&r.l1=1074404796&r.lc=en&r.l3=1084953735&r.l2=1074446322&r.i=1084954027&r.t=RESOURCES because it currently redirects to the main page of the award. A later version of that page can be seen at http://web.archive.org/web/20110610202441/http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?type=RESOURCES&itemId=1084954074&r.s=e&r.l1=1074404796&r.lc=en&r.l3=1084953735&r.l2=1074446322&r.i=1084954027&r.t=RESOURCES included a link to https://online.businesslink.gov.uk/Growth_and_Innovation_files/QA0024_2011_Awards_Promotion.pdf which includes a comprehensive list of recipients - I rather think the version I linked to had a small paragraph about each recipient. The article then became un-reffed, and could so easily have been deleted, as so much work on Wikipedia is. In the halcyon days we were under the illusion that wrongly deleted stuff would simply be recreated, as the amount of human resource available in relation to the amount of content being curated was large. It is maybe not such a good thing now that the ratio is much worse, with another 2000 "regular" editors lost over the last year, and the content continuing to grow.

|||
:::: Businesslink redesigned their website. I know. We had links to another part of it and they all went dead. I've added the pdf as a reference and removed the notability tag. Since I removed the prod, another editor has added another sentence. It wasn't eligible for a BLP PROD anyway - you can only put that on new articles, and this one had been around for a while. I don't like to see stuff that might be relevant to someone deleted for no reason - it's not as if it's a 'my mate Zac plays the drums in his dad's shed' article.

|||
*** Automatic comments for editing of claims (there are currently none) |
|||
*** Ability to add items to claims by their ID |

While I would normally say "restore his tools" - this was no only a one-off, but a one-off that involved unblocking, which is far less harmful than a wrongful block, I am very concerned that at ''Signpost'' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2013-03-04/News_and_notes##Guilt_by-association comments] Kevin requests that the outing which started this whole thing be repeated.

|||
<div style="-moz-column-count:2; -webkit-column-count:2; column-count:2;"> |
|||
** Development |
|||
** Design improvements to the SetClaim API module |
|||
** More work on implementing the [[m:Wikidata/Notes/Inclusion syntax|simple inclusion syntax]] that will be 1 way to access Wikidata data on Wikipedia |
|||
** More work on Lua (the second way to access Wikidata data on Wikipedia) |
|||
** Added parser page property to hold entity id in client. This fixes: |
|||
*** [[bugzilla:45037]] - don’t show edit link if noexternallanglinks has suppressed all Wikidata links |
|||
*** [[bugzilla:44536]] - have the edit link go directly to the Q### pages, instead of Special:ItemByTitle which shall make the link be more reliable and work for all namespaces |
|||
** Selenium tests for deleted-property-handling |
|||
** Selenium tests for multiline references |
|||
** Selenium tests for add-sitelinks-from-client |
|||
** Selenium tests for Entity-Selector-as-Searchbox |
|||
** Selenium tests for language-table |
|||
** Implemented in-process caching for entities |
|||
** Lua support to access the repo data and implement getEntity (so you can use stuff like entity = mw.wikibase.getEntity("Q1459") in Lua modules) |
|||
** rebuildTermSearchKey is now ready for production (this still needs to be run but once done it will make search case-insensitive) |
|||
** Improved error reports from the API |
|||
** Ground work for better edit summaries from the API |
|||
** Added a table of content to item pages |
|||
** Added debug functionality to be able to investigate why it takes longer than it should for Wikidata changes to show up on recent changes and watchlists on Wikipedia |
|||
** Finished implementation of References-UI |
|||
** Implemented GUID generator in JavaScript |
|||
** Worked on fixing a bug related to deleted properties where the UI would display wrong information |
|||
** Minor fixes/additions to the JS datamodel implementation |
|||
** Minor bugfixes in Statements-UI |
|||
** More work on RDF export |
|||

{{Block quote|In the 1755 laws, provision was made to allow an injured batter to retire and to resume his/her innings at a later time (a further indication that such injuries were relatively common), but not to be replaced or substituted. Presumably due to the suspicion that such a regulation would be flouted (and the ramifications this would have for bets placed on matches), an additional law decreed that the umpires were to be judges ‘of all frivolous Delays; of all Hurt, whether real or pretended’ (Rait Kerr 1950: 97–98).

:::*I was disappointed to see your personal attack on Sandstein [[Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests#This_is_only_about_control|here]].

[[User:LittleBenW|LittleBen]] ([[User talk:LittleBenW|talk]]) 09:54, 20 March 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::::Sandstein wishes to cut down the discussion on Arb Enforcement, so that he can block more people, faster and for longer. That seems to be his ''modus operandi''. The good of the project is secondary to thoughtlessly implementing dictats he doesn't understand. He has made that clear at least. ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', <small>09:58, 20 March 2013 (UTC).</small><br /> |
|||
::::*Right after SMC was cautioned for wall-of-text wikilawyering threats, and personal attacks, he launched into an attack on Fyunck (you didn't read my submission). SMC didn't get blocked as a result, he just got a one-month topic ban. |
|||
::::::Er.. and what entitles Sandstein to do that? Notice also he imposed on Fyunck his ''proposed'' limit of 500 words. Looks like Sandstein is making up the rules as he goes along and implementing them. Always a bad sign. The point is not whether SMC was a naughty boy (which is not unlikely as tempers get heated at MoS) but abuse of process by an admin on Arbitration matters. I have not looked at this in detail, but that is what it looks like, and it conforms to the impression that I get that Sandstein enjoys telling people what to do, and dispensing "sanctions". ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', <small>10:17, 20 March 2013 (UTC).</small><br /> |
|||
::::*You can see SMcCandlish, as well as Hans Adler, threatening Sanstein in the SMcCandlish archive above. It takes a lot of courage for an admin. to stand up to such threats and intimidation. |
|||
*On the sports field, players who repeatedly foul or attack other players are sure to get a yellow or red flag. Players (or spectator cronies of players) who threaten the referee to try to get a penalty reversed are likely to be removed from games for the whole season. The excuse that a player is "important" and "has a clean slate" and so should not be penalized for repeated fouls and attacks on other players is laughable. [[User:LittleBenW|LittleBen]] ([[User talk:LittleBenW|talk]]) 10:11, 20 March 2013 (UTC) |
|||
Actually I hadn't seen it. But it seems to me a problem that SMCandsish (a hugely prolific editor by the way) withdraws his request at 06:07, 11 March 2013 (UTC), and subsequently a day or so later, Sandstein sanctions him for making a frivolous request. I have not interacted much with Sandstein as far as I can remember, prior to his absurd block of me, but he does seem to be very much desirous of exercising power. I have also seen him closing misplaced AE request with threats to block. Hardly collegial. ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', <small>10:09, 20 March 2013 (UTC).</small><br /> |
|||
Can you give me diffs to the threats? ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', <small>10:20, 20 March 2013 (UTC).</small><br /> |
|||
*The link to the threat in context is in my submission, and I also cite the threat. You can see the story about how a mob to lynch Fyunck was canvassed [[User talk:LittleBenW#Template reply|here]]. Also see [[User talk:Sandstein/Archives/2013/March#Seriously.3F|this]]. The 500-word limit is currently being discussed, but it was applied to both sides. In the end, SMC went over his 500 words by a factor of about six or seven. [[User:LittleBenW|LittleBen]] ([[User talk:LittleBenW|talk]]) 10:32, 20 March 2013 (UTC) |
|||
***Whoa you were talking about threats to Sandstein during the AE request, not something that happened back in Novemeber last year! ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', <small>10:48, 20 March 2013 (UTC).</small><br /> |
|||
*The November threats were echoed in SMC's filing the complaint, i.e. repeating the threat even after being cautioned against such behaviour. The other threats by SMC amount to "he and his army would have Sandstein removed as an admin. if he persevered with this". That's surely no different from threatening the referee on a sports field. |
|||
***And on point 2 - how can Sandstein apply a rule that is still being discussed (and rejected)? Like I said it looks like he's just doing whatever he wants. ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', <small>10:49, 20 March 2013 (UTC).</small><br /> |
|||
*Admins are human and unpaid and have lives outside Wikipedia. It is unfair to force them to read 6,000 words from one side when the other gets only 500 words. I agree that third-party submissions can be a problem. I've bumped into one abusive person who spends all his time on WP passing judgement on other people at ANI (pushing for blocks or bans, even though he has no experience in the topic areas), and contributes virtually nothing to WP content. [[User:LittleBenW|LittleBen]] ([[User talk:LittleBenW|talk]]) 11:03, 20 March 2013 (UTC) |
|||
** Yes I was one. But believe me it takes far longer to write 6000 words than read them. And the subject (it is usually the subject) is forced (on pain of being sanctioned unheard) to ''write'' and spend vast amounts of time on these venues. I have (little or) no objection to someone announcing "TLDR" on a normal talk page, or even on ANI, but at Arbitration level, the stakes are pretty high. ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', <small>11:16, 20 March 2013 (UTC).</small><br /> |
|||
OK I found Hans Alders section. These are not threats. Hans Alder sees Sandstein as being on a "Power trip" and needing reining in. This is pretty much the same conclusion I have come to independently. Hans does not even suggest launching an RFC/U on Sandstein. I understand that diacritics are a vexed question, and I have no opinion on the behaviour of the parties in the dispute, since I don't know about it, but even assuming that SMC is behaving badly it does not give Sandstein ''carte blanche'' to write the rules for AE, let alone impose apparently unilateral sanctions not recognised by policy or usage.

*He is deciding the word limit by discussion with others, not unilaterally. The idea is that when the average user can make his case in say 500 words, the other side should not get six times that for wall-of-text threats and wikilawyering. [[User:LittleBenW|LittleBen]] ([[User talk:LittleBenW|talk]]) 10:37, 20 March 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:Yes and this is a bad idea. In my arb case I had about 5 people making allegations at 500 words each and only 500 words to respond. I was done up brown, as a result. (I was also in dispute with the drafting arb, but that's another story.) |
|||
:There is no reason to think that the number of words allows threats, and as for wiki-lawyering, that is clear when it is being done, and usually it is those making the accusations of wiki-lawyering that are doing it, in my experience. |
|||
:All the best. ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', <small>10:43, 20 March 2013 (UTC).</small><br /> |
|||
:Sandstein's delay in responding was a result of his listening to others who were urging him to reduce the proposed topic ban to one month—and he was asking for another admin to close the discussion, but apparently nobody else had the courage to take the flack. SMC's withdrawing the complaint was apparently just (as Sandstein says) an attempt to avoid sanctions. All the best.

===Kumioko reply=== |
|||
I posted this in one other place, 28bytes talk page. That is all I intend to do but I wanted to respond here as well. |
|||
Greetings all, I saw a lot of traffic with my name on it today so I just wanted to make a couple passing comments. First, thanks Rich for the kind words in the various venues. I appreciate it but there's no need to spend time defending my actions. This place isn't worth it to me anymore. If they would prefer to give the tools to users like Sandstein, Fram, Sarek and others that want to block everyone and open up months long Arbcom cases against every editor they don't agree with, then manipulate policy so they are even more powerful and can do even more they don't need contributors like me who want to build an encyclopedia. 28bytes is right, I am fed up with this place, the toxic culture, the us and them admin to editor attitudes and with the politics of it all. I wanted to contribute but the power elite just want to insult and bully so I don't have time for that crap. |
|||
Next I want to clarify a couple other things. Clean start is an ineffective crap policy and should be deleted since the culture here doesn't support it. You can't do a clean start without being dishonest and you certainly can't do it with the same user name. Eventually someone will call you out for socking. People edit what they are interested in so the only way to make a "clean start" is to edit stuff outside your interests (because presumably you were editing within your interests prior) and that's unrealistic. Most of the time you have to say on your page I used to be X and now I am Y. That's not a clean start, that's a name change and is pointless. Its a hypocritical nonsense policy. |
|||
I also want to clarify that '''I did not suggest Sarek be desysopped''', Arbcom did that, I just supported it and I still do. Sarek used to be a great admin, over the years he has become callous and no longer listens to the story. He levees severe blocks without hesitation. That is not the type of Admin we need here. Sandstein is a powermonger and Fram is an idiot and there are plenty more bad ones out there as well just like these three. If we get rid of some of these bad admins maybe some of the 640+ others will start participating if some of the jerks are moved out of the way. Right now there isn't any room to get past the big ego's. Anyway, I expect this to be deleted as atacks or whatever. It doesn't matter, I just wanted to explain some things and set the record straight. Not that I beleive for a second anyone cares. As you can see I am still a little pissed off.

:I don't blame you. I pretty much agree with most of what you say, and I shan't peruse your unblock any further right now, unless I hear form you. I am, however, pleased to have put a maker in the sand, making it clear that (whatever else was going on) the block summary is wrong. I shall also follow up on the abuse of checkuser rights, as this is the second time in a few months that I have seen this happen, and it is inimical to the community, and demonstrably wrong (unlike some other matters which it might be claimed are subjective).

== References == |
|||
FYI, references need only be given a name if they are used more than once in an article. A reference name needs only be in "quotes" if it contains more than one word separated by a blank space. Thus the quotes in <nowiki><ref name="Threat"></nowiki> are unnecessary. -- [[User:Daemonic Kangaroo|Daemonic Kangaroo]] ([[User talk:Daemonic Kangaroo|talk]]) 07:07, 20 March 2013 (UTC) |

I was interested to see the first edit from someone else to this page. I have tried to get some feedback from others about the article and most people seem to think there is no need for it; that perhaps it should be made into a template. I would be like to hear if you had any views on that? If it were to be a template there would be the laborious task of putting it into all the necessary articles and I don't have a clue how to create a template.

I hope that you have been well, Rich. |
|||
At the last Wikimania you showed me an outline for an HIV project on Wikipedia. Could you point me to that again? Someone else has another project and was discussing it at [[:meta:Talk:Wiki_Project_Med#Interested.3F_HIV.2FAIDS_in_.28sub-Saharan.29_African_languages]] and I was thinking to make a connection between that and whatever precedent exists. We are starting to have several pieces to connect. Thanks.

:If you don't mind me interjecting, our English articles on HIV could use a good update as well. Articles like [[AIDS in Africa]] are relying on 4 year old data, and the situation has changed significantly in many cases due to effective wide scale epidemic reduction programs.

<div style="-moz-column-count:2; -webkit-column-count:2; column-count:2;"> |
|||
* Development |
|||
** Rolled out new code on wikidata.org. The new stuff you probably care about is: |
|||
*** Improved references. They can now have multiple lines. This should make references much more useful. You can now have one reference with for example values for each of the properties "book", "author", "page" to describe one source. |
|||
*** Fixed the prev/next links in diff view ([[bugzilla:45821]]) |
|||
*** [[d:Special:EntitiesWithoutLabel]] now lets you filter by language and entity type |
|||
** Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: added setting to enable/disable it per wiki and made it available for logged-in users only |
|||
** Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: improved layout / size |
|||
** Made it so that the “edit links” link on Wikipedia is also shown when the corresponding item only has a link to this one language and no other languages |
|||
** Submitted improved Apache config patch to make wikidata.org always redirect to www.wikidata.org, which is awaiting code review and deployment. |
|||
** Improved the script that is responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias |
|||
** Added a few ways to better debug the script responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias. This should help with investigating why some changes take way to long to show up on the Wikipedias. |
|||
** Started work on automatically adding edited items to the user’s watchlist (according to preferences) |
|||
** Finished script for rebuilding search keys, so we can finally get case insensitive matches in a lot of places |
|||
** Support for multi-line references in diff view |
|||
** Selenium tests for inclusion syntax |
|||
** Improved parser function (that will be used to access Wikidata data on the Wikipedias) to accept property ID or label |
|||
** Increased isolation of data model component to increase clarity and visibility of bad dependencies |
|||
** Worked on schema access in the SQLStore (of the query component) |

Orphaned non-free image File:Logo of Boys Union Club of Nepal.png
Thanks for uploading File:Logo of Boys Union Club of Nepal.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 12:19, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
