Galeotto della Rovere

Good Day, Is there a problem with uploading this image to Commons? I would like to use it on the Afrikaans wiki. If not on commons how can I use it on the Afrikaans wiki. Thanks for you help. Hansjoseph (talk) 13:26, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

If you determine that the images are sufficiently "free" to meet the Commons' copyright policy, please feel free to upload them to Commons. I personally choose to focus my efforts on the English Wikipedia due to time limitations, and that is the only reason I haven't uploaded it to commons myself. As I am not the copyright holder, you do not need my permission. Savidan 13:31, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Information conflict

We appear to have a conflict of facts in our articles. Foreign relations of Pope Pius XII states: "Harada was accepted by Pius XII on May 31, 1942.", citing a New York Times. "Tokyo Envoy Received by Pope", while Ken Harada states: "as officially received on May 9, 1942.", citing Pierre Blett's "Pius XII and the Second World War: According to the Archives of the Vatican", which we both utilize as a source.

I have done a GA Reassessment of the Papal election, 1268–1271 article as part of the GA Sweeps project. I have found the article to nearly meet the GA Criteria.

Re:Stepinac

Hello Savidan, my apologies for the belated response and thanks for your recognition of my efforts in the article. :) I am unfortunately not in possession of any significant source on Stepinac himself, I am far more knowledgeable in the history of Yugoslavia itself than Church-related information. My source was also not on Stepinac himself, but rather about the nature of the forced conversions that took place with respect to Stepinac's statement that they were "all in good faith" (rather silly, that :). As I do not have sources, I've restricted my edits on that article to fixing what I believe is a big problem: a lack of neutral wording and an NPOV in general. Besides that, I've also gotten to making general improvements in the article (a more appropriate infobox/succession box, native language name, etc...).

The main cause of the problem is that the man is a controversial figure. Some circles in Croatia literally worship the fellow and, as he had been beatified, refuse to acknowledge anything "negative" about him. The article was originally written in an anti-Yugoslav, Croatian nationalist tone (I am Croatian :), rife with bias in his favor. For instance, "Yugoslav army" became "Tito's communists", "Yugoslav court system" became the "communist Belgrade court", Yugoslav judicial authorities were simply "the communists", President Josip Broz Tito became "communist dictator Tito", etc. you get it... --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 19:57, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

I understand what you mean, facts need sources, but what I'm talking about is the wording. While the facts were mostly correct (though many are unsourced), the phrasing of the article was (and probably still is) quite a bit biased. I shall endeavor to keep the text neutral, and yes, that also means keeping away from the other side as well. :) --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 20:03, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Removal of references

Why do you make edits like this?[1] Its hard for me to see the value of importing text from elsewhere on Wikipedia and then nuking the references. Savidan 16:39, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

This version shows that the references ph36 doesn't show up properly on the article. I figured that the material was already covered in Phayer, 2000, p. 37. and that it didn't necessarily need to be added. See the previous column called media bias in the United States where the same thing happens with another ref called StephenZunesFPIC [2] ADM (talk) 16:43, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Apocalypse War

Evidently this was never listed in the deletion log. I closed it today. You are free to nominate individual articles but be aware that mass AfDs tend to attract their own 'keep' votes regardless of content. Also note that there is considerable variation between articles you listed. Some (like Horus Heresy) have seen deletion debates before and are borderline. Others are obviously notable, and still others obviously not notable. Just a heads up. Protonk (talk) 04:39, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: Pope Pius XII -> Pius XII

Request for Participation in Wikipedia Research

Savidan,

Your Request for Adminship (RfA) process was reviewed and studied by our research team at Carnegie Mellon University early in our project to gain insights into the process. We reviewed what voters discussed about your case, and what qualifications you brought to the table as a candidate. In total 50 cases were personally read and reviewed, and we based our further research questions in part on your case.

In continuing our research, I would like to personally invite you to participate in a survey we are conducting to get perspective from people who have participate in the RfA process. The survey will only take a few minutes of your time, and will aid furthering our understanding of online communities, and may assist in the development of tools to assist voters in making RfA evaluations. We are NOT attempting to spam anyone with this survey and are doing our best to be considerate and not instrusive in the Wikipedia community. The results of this survey are for academic research and are not used for any profit nor sold to any companies. We will also post our results back to the Wikipedia community.

This survey is part of an ongoing research project by students and faculty at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science and headed by Professor Robert Kraut.

Take the survey

Thank you!
