Happy new year! I came to realize your librarian background when I saw your comments on a AfD talk page. There is a discussion to properly rename the Template_talk:Primary_sources#Propose making the contents match the title so as not to conflate the issue of using primary sources and the issue of lacking third-party sources. I hope that you can express your view there. --Hanteng (talk) 06:55, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello David,
Please reinstate the article, as I don't have that version in a word doc. I directly edited on Wiki. I will work on the required changes and try again.
Thanks again for the prompt and detailed reply. It shed a lot of light on the issue.

Hello David,
This is in regards to deletion of my submission about my company. I did receive a note that it was rejected owing to copyright infringement and I was in talks with that editor to find out where and why was a copyright infringement since the site was referenced and I am the official content writer for the company. I was about to work on fixing it post holidays. Today,I noticed that you have deleted the page and I was really surprised and sad to lose all content. Could you tell me why it was deleted AFTER being reject anyway? Also, why was it a copyright infringement, when I have the rights to my website content (I am the content writer for my company) and even though I never used any text verbatim?
I need to get the page up ASAP. Please Help!!!
Happy new year...by the way!
Thanks!

Hello DGG, could you undelete Tomorrow's Company to my userspace so that I can have a look over it.

Hi DGG,
I just found out that my article on Jonathan Lipow was deleted due to copyright infringement from the imdb website. For what it's worth, I authored the biography on imdb so I was in fact using my own work. That aside, I would like to resubmit the article and will prepare a draft that will be far easier to differentiate. Thank you for your time and attention.

I recently ran across this AfD and I'm looking for your opinion. From what I can tell, there have been a few articles written about the person regarding their death at the age of 108. I feel like I've seen similar AfDs brought up throughout the years but don't remember their common outcome and couldn't find any mention of age-related AfDs at WP:OUTCOMES. Looking through old AfDs about centenarians and lists of centenarians, the outcome seems to be mixed. I think WP:ONEEVENT applies but I don't feel strongly about that. I've generally found that you are able to focus on the real intention of this encyclopedia which in this case, is probably all that we have to fall back on (unless I've missed something). Again, I'm looking for your opinion. I don't know how to ask without looking as though I'm canvassing. I don't care what you !vote for, if you decide to !vote. I'm just looking for an opinion that may differ from my own. OlYeller21Talktome 05:17, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
As i can quote from the page you listed here you go. A5. Transwikied articles. Any article that consists only of a dictionary definition that has already been transwikied (e.g., to Wiktionary), a primary source that has already been transwikied (e.g., to Wikisource), or an article on any subject that has been discussed at articles for deletion with an outcome to move it to another wiki, after it has been properly moved and the author information recorded. the article in question falls into this therefore it should be deleted.

In your opinion, why do you think that Robbie Bullough should be deleted? Thanks. Ashbeckjonathan. Ashbeckjonathan 21:12, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
I was a bit surprised at your comments on the deletion review. Don't worry, I'm not offended or anything, in fact I thought you had a good point or two in there, but I got the distinct feeling from your comments that you felt I was not experienced enough to be trusted to close a discussion, even a difficult one. Was that your intent? Do you really think a Delete could have come out of that consensus? I guess what I'm saying is that I get the feeling that my close would have been perfectly acceptable, if I were an admin, and if that's true, it's a terrible thing to say about the system. The mop isn't supposed to be anything special. There are admins with FAR less experience than I have, and yet, it seems as if they had closed the discussion there would have been zero resistance. That is not how Wikipedia is supposed to be. Do you feel that there is any bias against NACs? I've never wanted to be an admin, but I'm beginning to think I should go for it just so that my closes aren't second-guessed every time I do one. It's very weird. I'm Identified, trusted with all sorts of responsibilities, including account creation, and yet it's as if i can't be trusted to close the occasional discussion. it's very perplexing to me. :) --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 04:34, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
This is not meant as a challenge, a critisim or a complaint. Consider it an academic question about processes here at wikipedia.

Sorry DGG I've just added on this article an official source that states: "the Ananda Marga religion includes a governance system (Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha or AMPS) which is set out in a sacred text called Carya Carya". The point in the deletion talk of this article was that these books are considered "sacred texts" or something very important for this spiritual movement and that is what this official document exactly states. I think that this document should be sufficient to show the adherence at the WP criteria notability at least on one ground: (3) "The book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to a notable motion picture, or other art form, or event or political or religious movement". What do you think? Thanks--Cornelius383 (talk) 00:51, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
In this section of iPhone article, I think there's synthesis there, because reading all three sources I can't establish the direct correlation that prose suggests. Prose suggests iPhone 5 not meeting sales expectation was the primary contributor to $30 billion loss. Sales were main factor in declining stocks "according to some experts" again suggests there's a fairly certain correlation.
Do you think the prose is reflective of what the sources read and do you see close enough correlation to warrant inclusion in an article on iPhone 5? Cantaloupe2 (talk) 13:57, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Continue by giving views of other analyst and subsequent stock movements to the latest date you have. The keys are a/ to use multiple sources and b/ to put the attribution in the actual text, not the footnote. This is the best method for any controversial or disputed point anywhere. If still challenged, put in an actual quote, either in the footnote or if necessary he text. Do not quote the headline, which is already there, find the best representative summary. The discussion should now shift to what other analysts' comments can be found. DGG ( talk ) 17:57, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi! You're getting this message because you are or have been a Wikipedia Ambassador. A new term is beginning for the United States and Canada Education Programs, and I wanted to give you an update on some important new information if you're interested in continuing your work this term as a Wikipedia Ambassador.
You may have heard a reference to a transition the education program is going through. This is the last term that the Wikimedia Foundation will directly run the U.S. and Canada programs; beginning in June, a proposed thematic organization is likely to take over organizing the program. You can read more about the proposal here.
Another major change in the program will take effect immediately. Beginning this term, a new MediaWiki education extension will replace all course pages and Ambassador lists. (See Wikipedia:Course pages and Help:Education Program extension for more details.) Included in the extension are online volunteer and campus volunteer user rights, which let you create and edit course pages and sign up as an ambassador for a particular course.
If you would like to continue serving as a Wikipedia Ambassador — even if you do not support a class this term — you must create an ambassador profile. If you're no longer interested in being a Wikipedia Ambassador, you don't need to do anything.
First, you need the relevant user rights for Online and/or Campus Ambassadors. (If you are an admin, you can grant the rights yourself, for you as well as other ambassadors.) Just post your rights request here, and we'll get you set up as quickly as possible.
Once you've got the ambassador rights, please set up at a Campus and/or Online Ambassador profile. You can do so at:
Going forward, the lists of Ambassadors at Special:CampusAmbassadors and Special:OnlineAmbassadors will be the official roster of who is an active Ambassador. If you would like to be an Ambassador but not ready to serve this term, you can un-check the option in your profile to publicly list it (which will remove your profile from the list).
After that, you can sign on to support courses. The list of courses will be at Special:Courses. (By default, this lists "Current" courses, but you can change the Status filter to "Planned" to see courses for this term that haven't reached their listed start date yet.)
As this is the first term we have used the extension, we know there will be some bugs, and we know the feature set is not as rich as it could be. (A big wave of improvements is already in the pipeline. And if you know MediaWiki and could help with code review, we'd love to have your help!) Please reach out to me (Sage Ross) with any complaints, bug reports, and feature suggestions. The basic features of the extension are documented at Wikipedia:Course pages, and you can see a tutorial for setting up and using them here.
In the past, the Education Program has had a pretty fragmented set of communication channels. We're trying to fix that. These are the recommended places to discuss and stay up-to-date on the education program:
We now have an online training for Ambassadors, which is intended to be both an orientation about the Wikipedia Ambassador role for newcomers and the manual for how to do the role. (There are parallel trainings for students and for educators as well.)
Please go through the training if you feel like you need a refresher on how a typical class is supposed to go and where the Ambassadors fit in, or if you want to review and help improve it. If there's something you'd like to see added, or other suggestions you have for it, feel free to edit the training and/or leave feedback. A primer on setting up and using course pages is included in the educators' training.
The Resources page of the training is the main place for Ambassador-related resources. If there's something you think is important as a resource that's not on there, please add it.
Finally, whether or not you work with any classes this term, I encourage you to post entries to the Trophy Case whenever you see excellent work from students or if you have great examples from past semesters. And, as always, let students (and other editors!) know when they do things well; a little WikiLove goes a long way!

Would be possible for you to help me?
Could you confirm whether or not whitening is being mentioned in this cite –
Abstract - http://asr.sagepub.com/content/72/6/940
Fully readable - http://www.ssc.wisc.edu/~jmuniz/schwartzman2007.pdf
I made a small edit to a page a few weeks ago and I noticed that an entire section was removed from multiple different pages based on a claim that the cites did not mention a certain word. The words in question were the whitening ideology other wise known as whitening or blanqueamiento/branqueamento. I did not wish to comment right away because many of the cites were only abstracts and therefore not full readable. Other cites were impossible to read because they were links to book sales.
I also wanted to take time to research the subject of whitening or blanqueamiento/branqueamento before I commented on the subject.
After taking a few days of researching the subject I decided to point out that this word (whitening/blanqueamiento/branqueamento) was in fact mentioned more than 40 times in one cite alone. Having looked from the editing history most of the section that was removed (Blanqueamiento (whitening) racial classification) was based on this sage publication - http://asr.sagepub.com/content/72/6/940
As I said before the word that was claimed that was not being mentioned was the whitening ideology otherwise know as whitening or blanqueamiento/branqueamento (blanqueamiento/branqueamento mean whitening). The title of the sage publication was called does money whiten and whitening is clearly visible in the abstract.
I really do not understand how two different editors appear to have read the title does money whiten, see whitening clearly mentioned in the abstract, see clear reference to the whitening ideology, see whitening mentioned more than 40 times and than both come to the same false conclusion that whitening is not being mentioned in this sage publication –http://asr.sagepub.com/content/72/6/940
I pointed out that whitening was being mentioned more than 40 times in the sage publication and the response I got from the editor (who previously claimed whitening or blanqueamiento/branqueamento was not being mentioned) was rather odd.
I was told that the editor did not wish to comment at the moment as to whether or not whitening was being mentioned. I don’t understand how someone can remove an entire section from a page based on a claim that whitening or blanqueamiento/branqueamento was not being mentioned and than say they do not wish to comment whether this word is being mentioned or not.
It has been more than 7 days ago that I was told by this particular editor that he did not wish to comment as to whether or not whitening was being mentioned and still he/she is yet to comment.
The reason why I am asking whether or not you can confirm that the whitening ideology otherwise known as whitening or blanqueamiento/branqueamento is being mentioned in the sage publication is because the editor who seems to be claiming that whitening is not being mentioned has still yet to comment.
If you are unable to help could you direct me to somone who can?
Thanks in advance.

I see you declined the speedy A3 on the basis that "(contains content: give name , location and religion . Needs more.)". I thought that "Midhunappilli Shiva Temple is a Shiva temple located at Midhunappilli in Kerala." was pretty much a rephrasing of the article title, though I suppose "Kerala" perhaps raises it above that bar.

I'll grant you that there aren't as many independent sources for this as I'd like, but since when is someone who held statewide office not notable enough?? He meets the criteria for notability for politicians. Moran was Deputy Commissioner (COO) for the Virginia Department of Social Services, then Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services for the commonwealth of Virginia. Not minor positions. His notability comes from that, not from being a book author now. Mrtraska (talk) 04:43, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Dear DGG, Thank you for your considerations. But YES, that's something about political culture. And that's also a bit relative, 'cause in NYC, for example, especially the high society, they respect the nobility, and we have many nobles living in NYC, and thus, living in high society, they're treated with respect (I'm saying respect towards their family traditions). Besides families such as Astors and Vanderbilts, that married with families of the Nobility. We've also the Miller sisters, such as Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece and Alexandra von Fürstenberg. Also Diane von Fürstenberg. Also Louis Alphonse, Duke of Anjou, of the House of Bourbon. Well, now I don't have enough time to spend showing the truth for people doctrinated as you Americans are. You Americans that think that some country in the world could born as a republic (what never happened). So I'll put some few things about her title, even being an absurd to put few, and not even in the first paragraph. And for sure put The Duchess of Cadaval. You ask me why? Well, it's because she is one of the most famous women in Portugal and a very famous woman in Europe. And because isn't just the US. And because The Duchess of Cadaval came out constantly in the social press in general, especially in the royal magazines, because, as The Duchess of Cadaval, she's the Head of the House of Cadaval, that descends of the Portuguese Royal House, and that's relative of all the European royal house, including the House of Windsor, and therefore relative of your Queen (the Queen of the Americans, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II); and she's also married with Prince Charles-Philippe d'Orléans, that's a grandson of the Count of Paris, the King of France de jure, and also very very well-known in France and Europe. Also her sister is married to the heir of Hermès (I'm sure that you American approve it more than anyone else... 'cause is a successful company, what means money money money). So, I think that you'll continue to live your fake American dream, and think that somebody, just because became a President or Senator or Entrepreneur (E in capitals YEAH), is better than everybody, and so should be well-treated, and the rest of the people don't deserve that. 'Cause a President or Senator or a successful entrepreneur deserves a good treatment, because they fought by the people and "improved society". Oh, but you Americans forgot your origins, forgot about the knights of the religious orders, such as Knights Templar, Teutonic Knights, whose members were only nobles, the ancestors of the majority of the nobility, and that without these orders, the Christians would became slaves of the Moors (see Crusades), and so the United States of America would never exist. But for you all, what's important is the money and power, and the lies of your "President" and "Senators". And so your son will be doctrinated like this, and your grandson, and your great-grandson... and so you'll continue to be subjects of the American oligarchy (families such as Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and others...)... and you'll continue to reject your true leader and mother, sovereign in cultural terms, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Some countries that respect your true traditions we can mention Canada, Australia, New Zealand, all Commonwealth realms, and as such, countries under the Crown. Good morning. Oh, I forgot something, also you'll continue to think that republic means democracy, but the majority of the most developed countries in the world are monarchies. They're constitutional monarchies, as the United Kingdom, Spain, The Netherlands, Monaco, Australia, Canada, Japan, Sweden, New Zealand, Norway, Denmark, Liechtenstein, and others.

Oh, and don't forget that Spain is also a constitutional monarchy. So we cannot disrespect the Spanish government's tradition, and therefore we cannot disrespect the traditions of the Most Serene Spanish nobility. Glamour, my dear cowboy. And true glamour. Not glamour of a hick woman that became a "star" in "your land" (US) when is married with someone that became "HIS MAJESTY" THE PRESIDENT OF THE US AND CHIEF SUPREME OF THE AMERICAN DREAM (WE COULD SAY A FAKE DREAM OF A FAKE MORALITY). In Europe we laugh about the US moral, US mores, behavior... everything... — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheEconomissst (talk • contribs) 06:48, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

About hereditary nobility, that's an absurd. See all the dukedoms of the United Kingdom, of Spain, of France, of Norway, ultimately, almost all the European nobility is hereditary. See the Dukedom of Westminster, the House of Alba. Please, get informed before saying those things. --TheEconomissst (talk) 06:56, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
Oh, and I forgot something very important. A money and a power that even the population being doctrinated to approve, they will never have in their whole life. That's really a hole. And US thank God is coming down through this hole.

(1) Remove all "Mr.". We refer to people by their first and last name, & after the first time, by their last name only.
(2) Include all other law firms in all of the joint cases,, not just the names of the lawyer, but the firm also.
(3) Try to combine into fewer paragraphs.
(4) Remove the displayed quote: it's advertisement.
(5) In the section, "The firm represents clients in Freedom of Information Law litigation. ", I assume these two cases are meant to be representative
(6). Change all "the firm represents" which is an advertisement, to "the firm has represented," which is stating the facts. Again, indicate if the instances are samples.
Again, your help so far is much appreciated. Teachingaway (talk) 15:53, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
I also forgot to add my signature (I am used to it being added automatically), my apologies! -- Cheers, Riley 06:04, 18 January 2013 (UT
OK, sorry, I shouldn't have PRODded it. On checking, the editor who created it is an ongoing editor making proper articles with text, so might even just have forgotten to complete the article by adding text and refs. I'd been doing a lot of stub-sorting after the stub category was flooded by a bot tagging old little articles, and perhaps was getting a bit tetchy because of the size of the backlog I was ploughing through!
Anyway, I've now created a lead sentence for it, and while I was there I added it to the dab pages at Class J and N&W Class J, and added a redirect from N&W J class to that dab page! Have also dropped a note on the editor's talkpage asking him/her (am I kidding? 99% says it's a "him"!) to add a ref to their source.
I sometimes wish we had a template for not just "lead missing" but "text missing", as there's a pattern of these infobox-only articles coming through as stubs: not many, but bad for the encyclopedia ... on the other hand, I suppose I should magic up a lead sentence, so that at least there's something for Google hitlists etc to see. I think I usually do, depending on mood. PamD 09:46, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello. I believe I added appropriate references to my MusicEase article. But the response I got when resubmitted says "there's still some problems with the sources". Not really sure what is wanted then. You said to let you know if the updated version was rejected. Thanks for any help you can provide with this. User:Garyrader (talk) 13:47, 19 January 2013
I see that you have protected and commented on the talk-page of List of NYU Polytechnic Institute people. Many notable alumni and faculty doesn't show in the current revision. This version lists a lot more http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_NYU_Polytechnic_Institute_people&oldid=530095742. Because the page is protected, I cannot revert it. Even the version I mentioned doesn't link all alumni properly(such as the link to Robert G. Brown). There are also alumni who are not notable and should be removed. Is it possible to change it's format to that of List of Duke University people?.
Thank you and regards,--Charmpogo (talk) 14:38, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
Also, the main article(Polytechnic Institute of New York University) needs a lot of cleaning, trimming and rewriting. I rewrote the introduction:

The Polytechnic Institute of New York University, often referred to as NYU Polytechnic, NYU-Poly, or Poly and formerly known as Brooklyn Poly, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, Polytechnic Institute of New York, Polytechnic University, is one of the 18 schools and colleges that comprise New York University (NYU).[1][2][3][4] The Polytechnic Institute of New York University is located in Downtown Brooklyn in the MetroTech Center, the nation's largest urban university-industry science and technology park.[5][6][7][8] Founded in 1854, the institute adopted the European polytechnic university model, and its laboratory instruction at the undergraduate and graduate levels led to close cooperation with the industry[9]. It is one of the oldest private technology institutes in the United States,[10] and has made contributions in the fields of electrical engineering, polymer chemistry, aerospace, and microwave engineering. NYU-Poly's financial engineering program was the second program of its kind and the first curriculum to be certified by the International Association of Financial Engineers.[11][12] NYU-Poly was one of the first universities to introduce a cyber security program, and is designated as both a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education and a Center of Academic Excellence in Research by the National Security Agency.[13] Polytechnic is the first school in New York City to receive the designation Center of Excellence in Information Assurance Education by the U.S. National Security Agency.[14] The first polymer science and polymer engineering programs in the U.S. began at NYU-Poly.[15][16] In 1950, the NYU-Poly division of the American Chemical Society was formed, and has since grown to the second-largest division in this association with nearly 8,000 members.[17] Polytechnic people include Ernst Weber (first president of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and one of the founders of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE)),[18][19][20][21] Herman Francis Mark (Father of Modern Polymer Science), Buddy Ratner (one of the founding fathers of modern bioengineering),[22] Elmer L. Gaden (father of Biomedical Engineering) ,[23] Samuel L. Greitzer (founding chairman of the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad) and George Bugliarello (founding fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering).[24] Polytechnic Institute of New York University is a founding member of American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) [25], Association of Independent Technological Universities and the American Society of Civil Engineers.[26][27] NYU-Poly operates several on-campus and off-campus business incubators and is known for its success in the transfer of technology from the laboratory to the marketplace[28][29]. NYU-Poly has state-of-the-art facilities including a brand new library and new facilities for its electrical engineering, computer science and computer engineering programs. The Brooklyn campus offers programs primarily for undergraduate students but also offers opportunities for graduate students, including executive programs for students with related experience. NYU-Poly also has campuses in downtown Manhattan, Long Island, Westchester, and in international locations such as Israel, Abu Dhabi, Shanghai, and London.

This is the improved(added more informations such as more AICHE presidents, inventors and fortune 500 CEOs) alumni section I made. But I think this section should be trimmed a lot. Many alumni such as Joel Snyder, Herman Fialkov, Jasper Kane, Eli Pearce,Peter P. Regna need article; all have a section in NYTimes fully devoted to them. There are actually too many alumni who deserve articles.

Finally, this very new ranking should be included (NYU-Poly's Online Engineering Degrees Ranked in Top 10 by US News & World Report) http://www.usnews.com/education/online-education/engineering/rankings
We really need an experienced editor like you to fix the NYU-Poly related articles.
Thanks, --Charmpogo (talk) 15:15, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
There is so much to do at the NYU-Poly pages that it will not be done quickly. BTW, nobody likes being pushed. As can be seen from my talk p., I'm usually editing at intervals most of the day, but not continuously. How fast you will get a talk page response depends on the matter involved: The only thing you can count on immediately is removing copyvio and vandalism. My next priority is usually ongoing discussions, because they move very quickly. Looking at revisions of articles or questions about policy is slower, especially if complicated , because I like to say things right, and I sometimes make several drafts. It may take a day or two sometimes.

Hi, My name is Ben. I edited a page you asked for deletion called Data Publica. It's a page to present a french startup historically known as the first publica data directory in France. I was wondering in which way this page could be edited as I see many company wikipedia pages such as companies that does exactly what we do such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DataMarket If you could tell me how a presentation page could respect presentation as you consider it please let me know. regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bengans (talk • contribs) 13:49, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Ponnambalamedu]] I would really hate to see this user get a block as I see a lot of potential in this user in becoming a prolific contributor to less known Indian topics. But a slew of poor articles, repeated insertion of personal info in user/sub pages (the user claims to be 11 yrs old, which I highly doubt) etc. might leave a lot of work for other users if this goes on unchecked. Is there any way to bring this user on track without discouraging them to contribute? P.S. Please archive your talk as I found it very hard to comment here. :) Suraj T 17:21, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
(btw, though my user page will get shorter, it may not get much shorter; the best way to deal with editing long pages if there's a problem is by editing a section, or using the new section tag to make one.) DGG ( talk )

Hello DGG. I would like to understand on what basis you state it is demonstrated that "Heterogeneous activity" is an economic theory? Would you say the same if the title were any two randomly selected words with the same unsourced assertion in the lede? Thanks. SPECIFICO talk 17:04, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Howdy, not sure if you keep AFDs in your watchlist so I thought I'd post here. Are you able to have a quick look at my response to your comment at this AFD. I think the profile I have found is evidence enough that she meets WP:AUTHOR as you suggested. Stalwart111 22:55, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello, DGG! Long time, no see. Would you give me some brief-but-pungent advice? I'm thinking about taking on the task of admin, and I would like to know how you feel about being an admin-editor compared with being an editor only. Do you sometimes feel bogged down to the point that you can't make edits that you like to make? Any info you can spare me about your admin experience would be a great deal of help. Thank you, David, very much! – Paine (Climax!) 21:45, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
